oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh

Goku: This demon guy might be as strong as Cell Cell: The fuck you just say?

I feel like cell would've actually turned good if it isn't for the fact that animators hate drawing him.

I like to imagine part of the Cell vs Dabrua fight involves cell being hit by the petrifying spit, but swiftly amputating the effected limb only to regenerate and counter attack.

Cell really had the most potential out of any character, saiyan DNA and frieza DNA is scary enough as is. When you add in the fact that he has namekian DNA, human DNA, and on top of that he's an android is just overkill.

Frieza: *exists* Cell: "So you have chosen death."

Honesty this fits for me, most of Goku's friends tried killing him in the past anyways.

15:12 "A new cell form" Two words Orange Cell

Vegeta: "Bingo!" Cell: *Switches sides.* If you get the reference you're goated.

I feel like cell could possibly be one of the most strongest characters in dragon ball, the fact he can get zenkais mixed with his regeneration is insane!

I always liked that “Villain turning good” what ifs are very popular in Dragon Ball. Shows how much the fans care about the characters.

I'd like to chalk it up to Cell being more like Goku than he was given credit for. It's not the carnage he enjoys, it's the thrill of fighting stronger opponents.

"Ah yes, while cell becomes good lets make krillin not have any bitche-"

I've never seen something more terrifying then the idea of Cell with God Ki.

Cell: I now challenge you to fight me, Gohan. Gohan: *Explains he doesn't like fighting and that he may lose his anger and warns Cell he might end up killing him and he doesn't want that* Cell: Well now I'm not doing it.

A very well written "what if?". I think you really nailed Cell's character. I think that good Cell would be a fan favourite. I think that if this happened for real they would definitely throw some transformations his way though, with the explanation being that with Saiyan and Freeza's DNA he would have the ability to achieve his own versions of the super saiyan and golden Freeza transformations. I know you kinda touched on that with him having his own version of ss god.

I love the idea of Cell's saiyan tendencies(?) kicking in and arguing it's his turn to fight Frieza. He's basically the same as Goku and Vegeta at that point cus he's part-saiyan and that part has been growing more prevalent in his personality.

"If claiming was enough to be the strongest in the universe, the prince would be the strongest of us all!" Jesus that line got me crying

Freiza: *Appears* Cell: "It's my turn on the Xbox"

The fact nobody realized Cell had a pure heart already by the time the ritual is made. And Cell only knew they needed a saiyan, not a pure-hearted one.

25:44 plus the 7 years gap they already trained a lot harder so that always plays a part

"No Cell you can't enter people will panic!" "I can't enter the tournament but Vegeta and Piccolo can? What if I register under a different name, like the Namek? How about, Lick Ma?"

In my opinion, Cell has a bit of Frieza in him. If he sees Frieza going Golden, that's when Cell can say "anything you can do, I can do better" and just DOES IT.

Cell always reminds me of piccolo in many ways. He definitely has piccolo's wisdom when it comes to battle.

now I like this timeline more than the original

I could see Cell turning good over Frieza turning good any day of the week. Cell would have been amazing in the tournament of power

I can already imagine the intro and I love it. "Cell, a being with the potential of most of the Z-fighters, and the strength to back it up. But what if he turned good?"

It would be great just to see his banter and trash talks with Gohan, more so the backs and forths with Frieza 😆 it would be commentary gold, a dynamic duo.

When you mentioned the potara earrings in the Brody film I briefly considered cell fusing with Goku before I realized one important factor. He doesn’t have ears

This actually fits with Cell's canon personality- he's possibly the one villain who (after reaching his perfection, at least) least wanted to actually kill and destroy. They were two actions he just took for granted as part of the deal- his true motivation was always to prove himself better.

Carthu: cell can’t fit inside the time machine. Toriyama: has goku and vegeta grab onto the outside of the time machine and go back to the present anyways.

You actually got me hyped listening to this story. You’re a W man and I Subscribed.

I feel like Cell probably would have removed the androids at some point. The risk of unexpectedly losing them in the middle of a battle would be an unnecessary weakness.

Goku : "Hey Cell can you fight this really strong guy for me?" Cell : "Gladly." Cell after the Broly movie : "That was a dirty trick Goku.."

the fact that Cell just fucking kills frieza twice is honestly the most "no fucks given" attitude/flex I've ever seen...and this is coming from a huge freiza fan.

I don't think Cell would've given them an extra day to train just because Gohan was hesitant to fight. Cell gave em like 10 days or something to train shortly after he reached his perfect form, one of which was spent in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. How much more training could Cell possibly expect from Gohan in order to get that Perfect Battle he wanted if not on that same day?

The character impersonations and stories you come up with are 🔥🔥 keep up the great work

cell should have a form where his jawline is even more perfect

I like how it's similar Vegeta's redemption arc. He's still largely himself, just less murder-happy, which fits in a lot more with Cell's character.

Wow ur voice acting is really good! One of my fav things about this masterpiece

This awasome, frieza is 2 cold hearted to do this. Great voice acting

Wait a minute... Since the initial fight between Gohan and Cell didn't escalate, wouldn't that mean Android 16 is still alive? Apart from that I enjoyed this!

This would've been the perfect episode to have an DevilArtemis cameo

Exactly what i wanted to see!

Interesting, I like this what if. Good job bro👍

Honestly this feels less like "Cell turns good' and more like "Cell turns True-Neutral". Still a fun story though lol

missing teammates? no problem (TFS ref.) Cell: "Behold My Childreeeeeen:" "Norio, Dameon, Travis, Curtis, Dale and Jonathan".. oh and of course Vegeta Junior Junior"

this story is insane!!🔥🔥

Loved this video

The fact that Cell kills Frieza the same way both times had me rolling.

To me it sounds less of cell being "good" and more of him being all "HELL YEAH LETS GET STRONGER"

Man I would love a part 2 but we must wait

You sound like such a turbo nerd. And the voice acting on top of that. I love it!

I like how you didn’t make him have a cheesy redemption arc where he becomes some sweetheart, but instead made him an antihero, where he doesn’t care if the good guys win, he just wants to get stronger and fight more powerful opponents, and as long as he is entertained, the Z Fighters get their way of peace.

As much as I love this story, I’m just not a fan of no androids. My boy krillin didn’t get laid and have a child.

Carthu sama I love you channel love these what if scenarios

Good explanation 👍

17:35 I'm sorry, the image of TFS's Cell sensing Goku going Super Saiyan God form for the first time would be absolutely hilarious. "Is... Is that.... Goku? Is that Goku getting stronger by standing still?!?!" "WHAT IN THE ACTUAL PERFECT HELL IS A CAT DOING HERE?!"

While I certainly do not dislike the MasakoX interpretation of this premise, I think I prefer this one. I really like how the original smug and intimidating Cell acts as an ally to the Z-fighters. Cell's interactions with the Z-fighters do come over as how the original would act if he mellowed out a little bit. His purpose in life was trying to prove he was the perfect life form. And since his Saiyan DNA always causes him to look for a new challenge. So it is only natural he would want to fight Goku and/or Vegeta when they are at their best. The only small gripe I have with this story is how Cell simply stops the Cell Games after Gohan refuses to fight him. It would be a bit more realistic if he tries to push Gohan a little bit, but realizes the boy really does not want to fight. Another small oversight in this timeline is that Android 16 could very well be alive, as Cell destroyed him in the original timeline in order to provoke Gohan. But other than that, it was a really entertaining story.

I Love this maybe a part 2 ? I mean a 2nd video please you should make a series of this

so good man

I love how Cell just killed Frieza everytime he has an opportunity to do it

When you realize that cell has the ability to get stronger through injury because of the saiyans, regenerate, and friezas ability to get extremely powerful through easier training you realize how big a threat cell would be if he trained.

Conceptually, I love this idea. While Cell's origins are easily the most grisly of any DBZ villain, what with him killing and eating tens of thousands of people to gain strength, his motivations are paradoxically the weakest. Frieza essentially had any shred of goodness inside of him beaten out through child abuse and growing up to be the CEO of a corporation of space pirates, and he keeps being a dick because of his lusts for control and for revenge against Goku and Vegeta. Buu was literally a primordial deity of evil that barely had higher thought processes to speak of and simply enjoyed blowing shit up. Cell is the only one who actually *achieved* his main motivation: becoming 'perfect.' After that, he seems to lose any real concrete goal and just wants to fight strong people to show off how perfect he is. I know some supporting material makes note here or there that he's semi-consciously following Gero's programming to kill Goku, but it never made sense to me that Cell would willingly follow the instructions of someone so much weaker than him, even if that someone was his creator. Android 16 eventually outgrew his programming enough to tolerate Goku, and he was purely mechanical; am I really supposed to believe that Cell, who's alive and sapient, and who has an ego at least 800 kilo-Vegetas in size, would be fine with following Gero's programming forever? Because I don't. The idea that Perfect Cell stops being evil because he's achieved his main goal and just doesn't know what to do now is a very intriguing idea, as is the notion that his 'good' cells from Goku, Gohan, and Piccolo balance out the 'evil' ones from Vegeta, Frieza, and King Cold (Again, why do I have to believe that Cell can glean something as complex as fighting techniques from his DNA but base psychology is something he either doesn't acquire or can ignore outright?). The execution, though... I have some trouble accepting that. While some former antagonists changed their nature rather easily, the more recent, more serious ones didn't. Piccolo had to kill his archenemy and spend a year training said archenemy's innocent child to battle an even stronger threat to become a good guy. Vegeta arguably *didn't* become a good guy at all, instead only sparing Earth because he wanted to become a Super Saiyan and prove he was better than Goku, finding some sort of kinship in Bulma, getting the shit slapped out of him by a fembot and a giant cockroach (twice), and being forced to endure the humiliation of having his archenemy sacrifice himself for him and said archenemy's son exceed him in power for several years... which arguably led to him becoming his WORST and getting sent to Hell outright for a few hours. And therein lies the problem: Cell has all the same issues that early (and even mid-series) Vegeta had: Even at his 'nicest,' Cell has little to no regard for the lives of those weaker than him, has the lust for battle of any Saiyan, is a literally monstrous egotist, and will do whatever he wants to in order to get his way. The notion that Gohan's pleading gets through to him is a hard sell, but I can believe it since, on some level, he might see Gohan like a son. He might be intrigued by the boy's seemingly bottomless potential. The problem arises from the time skip between the Cell and Buu arcs. What, exactly, is Cell doing during this time? He's not that patient, and I don't see why he'd do the same thing he already did (giving the Z fighters time to get stronger so they're a good challenge) just because Gohan politely but firmly said "No." to him. Even if he did, he previously did so for a mere 10 days. Why would he allow *years* to pass this time? Goku and Vegeta spend such long timespans training; is Cell doing the same off in a wasteland somewhere? Is he uneasily settling into family life like Vegeta? It just doesn't make sense that he'd go take a nap for 7 years after being such a ruthless opponent for the few weeks he was in the main story. Something else has to happen to stay his hand and nudge him off the villain path. Piccolo didn't just change after Gohan was nice to him one day. Vegeta didn't change after banging Bulma and skipping town for awhile. I don't see Cell changing so drastically for such a meager reason, either. I love the story being set up here, but it only has a middle (Cell gaining perspective from Dabura and especially Beerus) and an end (Cell becoming a somewhat unwilling protector of Earth/the Universe against Frieza and in the Tournament of Power). It's missing a beginning. It needs more. It needs a 'Why?'.

Cell was always one of my fav villains in dragon ball history, this video is so good because it goes with the most detailed explanation like the fact that Cell couldn’t fit in the time machine to help beat Black, I wish he could see with his own eyes Vegito Blue but it’s ok God powered Cell is cool enough for me. And the fact that Goku Vegeta and Cell became a trio is so funny to me and I like it because now we have more focus on characters that aren’t saiyans. Great video I LOVED it

Gohan: i don’t wanna fight Cell: understandable have a nice day Carthu: *Video outro*

It's funny because Perfect Cell is one of the few DBZ Villains you could very easily see turning good. Well maybe not turn good but Cell by the time he reached his perfection had become very amicable, sporting even. Very much similar to Goku in the sense that he desired a true challenge and a real fight. I could see him aligning his interests with the Z fighters lets just say that. Cool to see your take on the Cell turned Good what if Carthu

Perfect homie

This is my favorite "What if..." Ever,i LOVE cell, he's my favorite villain(besides vegeta,but he's not a villain anymore),so I'm really happy to see more of him, especially him becoming good,love your videos,man😄

Damn, why does Perfect Cell look so awesome with a red aura? Like just damn he looks sick.

Dont know what to expect. Except that cell would be a great training partner and the thumbnail goes to show he gets some god ki, so excited to see how that happens.

I’ve gotta admit these impressions are pretty amazing

this was so interesting! could you please cover the fan made tournament of power made a couple of years ago even before the manga! the buu and cell parts were so awesome in that!

Cell is indeed the perfect being. He has huge Zenkai boosts, top tier regeneration, he can use kaio ken without the huge toll on the body that causes due to his regeneration. He can use all of the heroes and friezas techniques. He can potentially go golden. He also is very knowledgeable as a fighter and just so you remember. Cell is not a regular fighter, he is a martial artist master because of Goku's cells. He does not need God ki if he can get stronger infinitely

damn yo none of this feels out of character at all, you're damn good at writing

Also cells arc of being a good guy just being him learning his body and its limitations is a cool arc to have due to his bio body. Wish dbz had this.

I feel like Cell would have liked to free Buu to test his strength. Everything else is on spot, excellent what if!

I was so shocked when you mentioned Cell's heat weakness and his inability to fit in the time machine, those really are details I never expected to become relevant again

i have a little headcannon with this plot, where cell invited himself to gohans and videls wedding just because he wants to .

such a W concept

It would have been super interesting to see Cell come back, i think he’s easily less evil than Frieza and certainly less evil than Buu. So of any villain it would’ve made the most sense to make him turn “good”

I like how Shin doesn't care that Cell is there and immediately treats him like he is part of the group and knows he is jsut barely trustworthy to handle a situation like this with finesse.

My thoughts on how cells potential would work: weighed down by the humans, evened out by piccolo and cold, leveled up by the saiyans, leveled up more by gohan, and greatly leveled up by frieza, so he would likely have gohan levels of potential but the lack of forms would keep him in check like you said

I love your channel

For me it’s weird how cell never appeared again, he isn’t a “pure evil” villain like Buu or a dictator like Frieza, he said he’d blow up the earth just so he’d have an all out fight. Also, most of the characters he’s made from are ex-villains who sooner or later join the Z-fighters. Also also, having the zenkai ability + the namekian regeneration, it wouldn’t be so hard for him to catch up in super, and he obviously likes tournaments

Considering ways to fit Perfect Cell into the time machine...Cell can fit in, just not a full Cell, part of him can… -Decapitate him, and shove his head into the time machine -Bring Cell's nucleus in a small container (maybe?) . Luckily for Cell, a tiny bit of him is what's needed for him to regenerate. Or, just have him grabbing on to the time machine.

You should be one of the story writers! Awesome!

I love how fair these what if's are. They stick to the source material as much as possible while also trying to inject new ideas to support how they get to the next arc.

Excited to watch this later after work. He’s a character who had a lot of potential

The thing you’ve said about cell not having Freizas EXACT potential felt like pure ecstasy. Literal years I’ve been thinking to myself how would that work if he has a bunch of others dnas to come in and mix up with freizas cells and make them not nearly as good. Nobody else seems to have though this.

34:58 .. this reminds me of the dragon ball legends summon animation..

27:24 Cell-abrating

What I like is the consistency here: the divergence is Cell being reasonable and not wanting to push Gohan into a violent rage, while realizing he has potential to become much stronger in a controlled manner. While he craves stronger opponents, he is not reckless about it like Vegeta was with Cell and 18. He eliminates Frieza and Babidi without hesitation, having Frieza's ruthlessness and also understanding Vegeta and Goku are sufficient to keep him entertained. I think the underlying logic is sound: there is a game of getting stronger between Cell, Goku and Vegeta, which they all get. Frieza and Buu simply crave supremacy and destruction, so Cell was happy to ensure neither of them was part of the game. There would be no benefit to letting Frieza live to perfect his golden form or Babidi resurrect Majin Buu. Especially since as Cell never blew himself up, he presumably is unaware of his near-immortality, so why take the risk of unleashing two villains who might just kill him if they win, when he has a perfectly good pair of antiheroes who he could convince to spare him so he can get stronger?

I could actually see Cell turning into a Vegeta or Piccolo like ally. He's not necessarily good but he's also no longer evil.

this is your best story

This story was so good!

As a Cell fan, I'm so grateful for people to make content like this. Keep it up, mate

I love how Cell is basically just here to have fun, he's so childish, I love it lol Also, it's shown that one can hold onto a time machine and still be warped with it...right? My only issue with this No 18 for Krillin lol

The voice acting while ridiculously nerdy and embarrassing it's also super cool!!!

This is written very well and needs to happen
