Its pretty much being swallowed whole by a snake minus the snake suffocating you until your unconscious first. You are a aware while your being absorbed. That's the terrifying part for me.
What makes it especially scary is you NEVER see what exactly happens to 17 or 18 once Cell gets them in his tail. At least with the likes of Buu, the people he absorbs are all wrapped up in pods inside him. With Cell, you NEVER really know what exactly happened to 17 and 18 once they entered his body.

The so-called “chasing perfection” arc where cell is first introduced to the cell games is genuinely peak fiction. I enjoyed it more than any other arc in the series and franchise, including the cell games. This moment was insane, and this arc had so many like it.
Even the lead up. An old time machine, a mysterious egg and molt, people missing but their clothes are left. Up until then, we are just thinking, "Oh no, the androids are tracking down Goku." Then we see that and realize something far more sinister is lurking behind the scenes.
This terrified me when I saw this as a kid. The claustrophobia, The sounds he was making, the muffled screams, the terrifying amount of power that you had to deal with. I'm almost embarrassed but it really did scare me.
If this happened in Trunks' timeline, 18 never would've just stood there watching Cell destroy 17. Cell would've had to fight them both at the same time. This 18 acted like she cared more for 16's wellbeing than her own brother.
Yeah the androids from Trunks’ timeline were savage; it was so satisfying to see him return to it and wipe them out one after the other in seconds like they were pesky bugs.
@@tonymack2007uhh no they’re were exhausted by the time cell came that’s why piccolo lost despite being above him a day earlier. Aorbing mear humans can’t increase your power that much

@@jalengeorge3027 that's highly debatable. i'd say 1st form cell (at his first real appearance, his first encounter with piccolo) would have been a solid match for SSJ1 Vegeta and/or Goku. At that point Cell was clearly weaker than Piccolo, who was equal to Android 17, who was of course stronger than SSJ1 Vegeta/Goku. BUT it's irrelevant. Goku's heart virus made the fight impossible. Even if he COULD HAVE beaten that really early cell, by the time he recovered from his heart virus, 1st form Cell was FAR stronger than Goku. There's no fucking chance he could have beaten 1st Form Cell, who destroyed Piccolo and 17 at the same time, and then went on to go even with android 16 So yeah maybe you're right in a sort of alternate universe hypothetical sense, but Goku legitimately never had the chance to even TRY to fight cell when cell was still weak. By the time goku was ever ready to fight, Cell had already grown far past him: -1: when goku recovered from heart virus cell was already stronger than him from absorbing humans and absorbing 17. -2: when goku exited the time chamber, perfect cell was already a good deal stronger than goku and goku realized he couldnt win, which was why he handed the fight over to his son. so there was realistically no point in the entire show that goku could've beaten cell.
For those commenting on "Why they don't do anything to prevent it" ... This is just our perception. For the Characters this is all happening way faster. We see that thing from the perspective of 17, Cell, 16, Tien, Goku etc. ... this adds up for our "screen time" ... but "in real" this happened within seconds.
They have tried. When Frieza was transforming they blasted him and it did nothing. When Cell was transforming into Prefect Cell Trunks tried several times to stop him.

What about you man what's your favorite saga
Its scary if u think about it their are technically 3 Cells one in the main timeline thats still a fetus. The one we see here is from the Future Timeline and the 3rd is from Trunks Alternate Timeline AKA The one from the History Of Trunks Special. And to think all this happened because Trunks went back in time and changed the past.
The one here is from the 3rd timeline. This Cell killed his timeline's Trunks and stole his time machine. Future Trunks is obviously alive in his own timeline and when he returns he kills the Cell living there. There's still the other timeline that Trunks 3 (from Cell's time) traveled to in order to get what he needed to destroy the Androids. This Fourth Timeline's Cell might still be alive and may have killed everyone.
he tried to stop the world from ending but only speeds up the process making it worser than it already was at the end of the day goku was destined to die
Each form of cell has a very different look and totally a different voice. Imperfect cell has the most evil n dangerous voice. But all three forms are mostly green in colour.
@SigilOfBaphomet Because at this point, I was beginning to grow attached to the androids and after hearing that Cell had to absorb them, I was wondering what his next forms would be but also I was hoping they wouldn't be absorbed because of them being such good characters, so when I see Android 18 being absorbed, I always hope that some way she manages to escape but sadly she doesn't, that's how much those characters really grew on me as a kid.
> Looks to the left and right, doesn't see Cell > Fails to sense him even though he's right on his butt > Is being told Cell is behind him _proceeds to stand still_
I remember being a little shocked at how different of a character he became with his second transformation. It felt like watching Steve Buscemi turn into Tommy Lister Jr…
For the longest time I’ve never understood exactly why Cell needed 17 and 18 SPECIFICALLY to evolve into his perfect form (aside from being 2 extra power sources), then it hit like a heavy hard brick. He needs the most human androids to appear more humanoid himself thus making him the perfect martial artist/warrior. He’s already a weird mix-and-match of every powerful fighter we’ve known through this series through years of incubation and development, so what’s the final step, the humanity of your primary being. Does that make sense?
It could be that 17 and 18 are cyborgs, having machines inside them. Therefore, they are a compartment to Cell, who is a bio-android. Which means he could, theoratically, absorb 16 and have a different form. But because Dr Gero coded him that tells he can achieve perfection by just absorbing 17 & 18 alone, he doesn't see use to 16 who's not part of his objective.
androids are stubborn an hardheaded they should have kept moving. Tien took too long to warn android 17, cells fingers twitching while transforming is hilarious.🤣🤣😂
This saga still gives me chills. When cell kills all those people, including killing that rich guy. Trying to absorb 17 the first time and you see the inside of his tail. Then of course absorbing 18 while she was blinded.
This is actually a really disturbing scene. Not only is the process quite horrible and shocking to behold, but the sense that Cell is evolving something far more powerful! Dbz is at its best when it depicts transformations to something more powerful!
Bulma stated that cell and 17 were able to merge body’s on a cellular level from the blueprints she read. So 17s absorption was more of a merge. 17 stated in dbs that he was fully conscious inside of cell feeling and seeing what he did. However I think 18 was actually absorbed/swallowed. & was suppose to just dissolve into cells structure. Different from actually merging with cell which 17 actually did.
People say things would work out differently if dbz characters wouldnt stand around in shock so often. . But what if they arent. And they are actually moving much much faster.. But, Because they move so fast, that you cant see it, instead they show it in slow motion. That way you can see all their movements ;)
Creepy part about this all is..that is cell from a completely different timeline that already killed trunks and use his time machine to find the androids...that cell was on a mission no matter how low he had to sink to get it.
Dragon ball Z, I mean this is perfection of anime. I think its impossible to create better anime then this. Idea of Goku sayan and his friends are unbeatable!

I know!! My brother had the nerve to say Majin Buu was scarier cause he turned lots of people into candy.
From the sound of things even Cell seems to be in pain when he transforms
Its pretty much being swallowed whole by a snake minus the snake suffocating you until your unconscious first. You are a aware while your being absorbed. That's the terrifying part for me.
@Charmion Brown to be fair the scene where buu goes inside that one guy and obliterates him was pretty damn gnarly for a kids show
What makes it especially scary is you NEVER see what exactly happens to 17 or 18 once Cell gets them in his tail.
At least with the likes of Buu, the people he absorbs are all wrapped up in pods inside him.
With Cell, you NEVER really know what exactly happened to 17 and 18 once they entered his body.

The one here is from the 3rd timeline. This Cell killed his timeline's Trunks and stole his time machine. Future Trunks is obviously alive in his own timeline and when he returns he kills the Cell living there. There's still the other timeline that Trunks 3 (from Cell's time) traveled to in order to get what he needed to destroy the Androids. This Fourth Timeline's Cell might still be alive and may have killed everyone.
he tried to stop the world from ending but only speeds up the process making it worser than it already was
at the end of the day goku was destined to die
I love the detail of 17 fading into cells eyes indicating that 17 is gone
I remember seeing that in the 1995 Mortal Kombat movie when Shang Tsung took the the guys soul he faded out in his eyes to
Magnificent scene
The Frieza & Cell Saga's are just so amazing. I miss the old fights & animation styles more than anything in the series these days.
0:35 his laugh is so Evil LOL
that scream i love it 00:44
Gay
I LOVE THAT SCREAM IT'S GREAT :)
Only reason I'm here lol
1:13 is the best scream of this transformation.
lmao sound like a japanese prom antagonist
Each form of cell has a very different look and totally a different voice. Imperfect cell has the most evil n dangerous voice. But all three forms are mostly green in colour.
17 locks his arms and never goes up. 16 had plenty of time to cut the tail. Thank goodness for the need of the script...
0:25 yeah even at this point 17 still had his hands to attack Cell. It's not like he's suffocating being trapped.
As much as I love Perfect Cell, I HATE THE FACT THAT THE ANDROIDS HAD TO BE ABSORBED TO SEE HIM BE PERFECT, 18 being absorbed still makes me feel sad.
Wdym? I’m really glad the absorption was part of his character, it gave me my best kink
@@SigilOfBaphomet vore moment
@@mentallyuntouchable2918 Exactly
@SigilOfBaphomet Because at this point, I was beginning to grow attached to the androids and after hearing that Cell had to absorb them, I was wondering what his next forms would be but also I was hoping they wouldn't be absorbed because of them being such good characters, so when I see Android 18 being absorbed, I always hope that some way she manages to escape but sadly she doesn't, that's how much those characters really grew on me as a kid.
The end of creepy Cell, my favorite. Peak DBZ
> Looks to the left and right, doesn't see Cell
> Fails to sense him even though he's right on his butt
> Is being told Cell is behind him
_proceeds to stand still_
0:58 "Ooooone.....mooooOOOOOOOORRRREEE!"
I remember being a little shocked at how different of a character he became with his second transformation. It felt like watching Steve Buscemi turn into Tommy Lister Jr…
Cell screaming/yelling is hellish and sceary it sends chills down my spine
This Cell was awesome creepy voice and eyes to match ❤️
Alternate Title. "Cell drinks Kool-Aid for the first time".
16: "18 LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!"🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️💨💨💨🚀🚀🚀
18: 👁👄👁
Cell Transformations stages:
Imperfect Cell: *Hideous*
Semi-Perfect Cell: *Ugly*
Perfect Cell: *“You’re a handsome young man”*
I like how his feet turned to shoes
He's movin on up. He ain't homeless no more. Now he can afford shoes.
Cell max pros
2:39 as a kid & to this day I find it awesome and gives me goosebumps seeing the electricity 🔥🔥🔥
For the longest time I’ve never understood exactly why Cell needed 17 and 18 SPECIFICALLY to evolve into his perfect form (aside from being 2 extra power sources), then it hit like a heavy hard brick. He needs the most human androids to appear more humanoid himself thus making him the perfect martial artist/warrior. He’s already a weird mix-and-match of every powerful fighter we’ve known through this series through years of incubation and development, so what’s the final step, the humanity of your primary being. Does that make sense?
It could be that 17 and 18 are cyborgs, having machines inside them. Therefore, they are a compartment to Cell, who is a bio-android. Which means he could, theoratically, absorb 16 and have a different form. But because Dr Gero coded him that tells he can achieve perfection by just absorbing 17 & 18 alone, he doesn't see use to 16 who's not part of his objective.
@@lostcrusader8053 he can't absorb 16 because the big red machine is purely mechanical
@@lostcrusader8053 16 Is Full Robot. 17 and 18 are enhanced humans.
@@lostcrusader8053 couldn’t have explained it any better.
Ummm... Are u high?
androids are stubborn an hardheaded they should have kept moving. Tien took too long to warn android 17, cells fingers twitching while transforming is hilarious.🤣🤣😂
The scary part is that 17 is alive inside in a suspended animation sense.all his senses are intact but he can’t move
That’s the crazy part. And they were intended to be inside Cell forever in that state. Pretty horrifying tbh
It’s so cool how 16s role changed so deeply, he made to kill goku but here he is being the big brother of 17 & 18 and trying to prevent cells mission.
Tien got the worst reaction time too little too late
This shit got me traumatized as a kid, seeing 17 struggle to get out while screaming inside of Cell’s stinger until he just stop moving…
2:47 the inspiration for Cell Max
Watching Cell laugh as he butt chugs an android WHOLE while it hopelessly struggls makes Buu and Freza look tame af 😨
Cell looks pretty strong🔥💪🏽😎🐸👽👾
Abridged 17: "No I can't go like this. I'm too cool to die this way!"
Semi-perfect Cell: "Ahh. So this is what lips feel like. Ba ba baa. Babababa."
Oh man when cell opened his tail hole and farded I got the chills 😳😳😳
Nigga wha😂
This saga still gives me chills. When cell kills all those people, including killing that rich guy. Trying to absorb 17 the first time and you see the inside of his tail. Then of course absorbing 18 while she was blinded.
Imperfect cell looks and sounds almost the same as Red Hot Chili Pepper stand
I forgot how dark this series used to be... They brought stuff like this back with the Moro arc...
Dragon Ball without Shunsuke Kikuchi is like Pokemon without Eevee
Once I revert to an egg I must bury myself underground for three years, there my form matures.
This is actually a really disturbing scene. Not only is the process quite horrible and shocking to behold, but the sense that Cell is evolving something far more powerful! Dbz is at its best when it depicts transformations to something more powerful!
what’s probably a bit worse is when he’s absorbing regular people with that stinger
0:44 that's Cell's hypeman scream lmaooooooo
It’d be interesting if they can explain how exactly 17 disintegrates after being absorbed but 18 somehow remains whole and regurgitated.
Bulma stated that cell and 17 were able to merge body’s on a cellular level from the blueprints she read. So 17s absorption was more of a merge. 17 stated in dbs that he was fully conscious inside of cell feeling and seeing what he did. However I think 18 was actually absorbed/swallowed. & was suppose to just dissolve into cells structure. Different from actually merging with cell which 17 actually did.
2:22 miss this Goku that thinks.
Bro that music is fire at the end
And the beginning
2:34 music 🎉🎉
That's how a lot of children got introduced to vore.
People say things would work out differently if dbz characters wouldnt stand around in shock so often. .
But what if they arent. And they are actually moving much much faster..
But, Because they move so fast, that you cant see it, instead they show it in slow motion. That way you can see all their movements ;)
Creepy part about this all is..that is cell from a completely different timeline that already killed trunks and use his time machine to find the androids...that cell was on a mission no matter how low he had to sink to get it.
He shouldve listen to his friend 😭😭😭
He treated 17 like a meal. He pounced on him like a hungry hobo.
If we go by Frieza transformations this is power level 1 billion.
Wouldn't be to farfetched considering goku powerful in ssj against freiza wss 150mil
About 770 million to be exact
semi perfect cell power level is 3 billion
Cell is the goofy ahh and creepy villain of DBZ
Idk why dodging is so hard in dbz
because they didn’t take piccolos advice
Because they're into suicide
Dooooooodddggee
Because it’s slowed down so we can see. Their attacks are much faster
Dragon ball Z, I mean this is perfection of anime. I think its impossible to create better anime then this. Idea of Goku sayan and his friends are unbeatable!
Impefect Cell is BADASS AND AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
