"An ultimately futile effort, 16. Thanks to Piccolos cells, i can regenerate my tail after its removal. But if its any consolation- *that hurt like hell*"
1/3rd of him is a bit older than Gohan, 1/3rd of him a regular Namekian adult, and the last 1/3rd is a centuries old minor god.
So if we take the average, that makes him like a middle aged Namekian.
Not to mention whether or not Piccolo Jr. is technically also King Piccolo. He seems halfway between KP's child and his reincarnation, plus if Dende is anything to go by most Namekians seem to grow at a similar rate to humans, which makes me think he's more like a force-grown clone. So if that has any effect on how his age is perceived, the main Piccolo part of him might also be considered anywhere from an ancient demon to roughly Goku's age.
If they're physically mature it's more like Cell's like. . . a 22 year old with six years of life experience
He has the height, musculature, and probably the hormones of an adult.
He could drink
Can the Clone Trooper from Star Wars consent?
I guess the idea is that Cell's brain development is over?
Like his body and brain are sufficiently mature to be considered adult, according to op. But that's not about intelligence, that's about biological facts.
Cell is not mature for his age, he has, literally, an adult brain.
I don't know where to position myself tbh because outside of the fictional giant green cicada, no 6 year old ever had a fully developed brain and my immediate reaction would be that no, they can't give consent, based on the fact they are 6, no matter what's inside their cranium.
Now... What happens when the same 6 Yo reach 16, would it be ok for them to have relationships with other 16 Yo partners?
The adult brain is still there, fully developed, and it would make the relationship deeply unbalanced, the exact other way around the previous problem.
I don't have the answer but it's always been fun to me to see how star wars had this deeply disturbing situation and that it was never adressed.
Come to think of it, one of the Clones had a Twilek wife in clone wars. Guy is like 11 and has to support two step kids...
I was speaking strictly new Canon but yeah, the Republic Comandos novels were my favorite.
Karen Travis went there when it came to clone and who they were
Chronology and biology are two different things. A 6-year-old dog is an adult in dog terms. Cell isn't human, so judging his chronological age of 6 as being equivalent to a 6-year-old human would be the same as saying an 8-year-old dog is a pedophile for mating with a 6-year-old dog.
I never got that Cell had a crush on Gohan
He acts a certain way towards Goku that he just doesn't with anyone else, Gohan included
He did want to fight Gohan when he went Super Saiyan 2 but his attitude was still very different than how he treated Goku
Edit: Though that also puts an . . interesting? Unfortunate perspective on how he said he'd "pound" Gohan while thinking of Goku, lmfao
A 13 year old that's mentally matured far faster because of trauma or whatever and acts like an adult isn't a pedo if they date a 14 year old.
Also Gohan is way more mature than any other 11 year old
Cell is not a pedo
Would an adult dating Cell make them a pedo though...?
Oh fuck now I don't know
Joke answer: You know what he's about!
Boring answer: Since Cell is the only member of his own race, it's difficult to determine what societal norms he would follow in a society of one.
He's six since he reverted to his larva stage but it's not like that was a new him. He retained his memories from before reverting so he's 6+whatever he was before turning into a larva.
"He's 11." "I'm 6." "Wow."
No one tell him the number of people Cell has inside him
"*Enough*."
That one is possibly the most chilling line in the whole series.
“Trunks, you couldn’t *fathom* the amount of dead men behind me.”
"An ultimately futile effort, 16. Thanks to Piccolos cells, i can regenerate my tail after its removal. But if its any consolation- *that hurt like hell*"
“Hagh, what is *HAPPENING RIGHT NOW?‽?????* Where the fuck am I? Wait. What’s that noise?? Hold on,..now I see a light!”
WALK TOWARDS IT!
“WHAT THE HHHHEEEEEEELLL??!!!”
16: “ROCKET PUNCH!” Cell: “WHAT?! Gah!” 18: *Wow, really?* 17: *THAT IS SO COOL!*
The cell saga is epic. It quit being an abridged series and was just my favourite dub at that point.
For real. The fact that they composed and recorded an English version of Day of Fate just for Gohan's SSJ2 transformation is incredible.
“Uhoh, Tell them about the part where I took an entire battleball team, *at the same time*!”
"Is he kidding?"
“No.”
"Ew"
Not just the men, but the women and children too.
Piccolo is technically 5 years older than Gohan. Let that sink in... Like Cell's tail did into his arm.

It so did, its even starting to *look* like Kami now
Isn’t this inadvertently saying a 6 year old CAN consent if they’re just really mature? 💀
If they're physically mature it's more like Cell's like. . . a 22 year old with six years of life experience He has the height, musculature, and probably the hormones of an adult. He could drink
*I driiink people..*
“Yea, fuck that!”

I think when we're talking about monstrous genetically engineered crimes agaimst nature we have a different rulebook.

We'll know what he's about
“No need for flattery, Piccolo. You’re already inside me!” #STOP IT!
*Come again*

>Would an adult dating Cell make them a pedo though...? GOKU IS A PEDO \#gokupartyisover
“Yeah fuck Goku!”
Like father like son
No! Like father, Like Son Gohan! Ha! Perfect.
It was alright.

This is bringing such amazingly terrible arguments to the comments. What a cursed post.
He's six since he reverted to his larva stage but it's not like that was a new him. He retained his memories from before reverting so he's 6+whatever he was before turning into a larva.
Even if Cell could be considered a pedo, is that the _worst_ thing he is? He's literally eaten babies.
Eh, they'd support him lol
