Dragon Ball Super reveals the status of some Dragon Ball Z villains today
The Cell saga in Dragon Ball Z is one of the most iconic in the entire franchise, as it not only introduced the whole theme of time travel and a new biomechanical threat, but It also left us with one of the most impressive scenes throughout the anime, as was Gohan's Super Saiyan 2 transformation.
At this point in history, Gohan earned his position as the strongest character in the entire worldsurpassing other great warriors like Vegeta and Goku, thanks to his hidden potential. And, although this arc closed and answered the questions, eliminating the antagonists on duty, the truth is that some villains remain alive and have appeared in Dragon Ball Z.
The Cell Jr. are still alive in Dragon Ball Super and no one has noticed
The Cell Jr. were created by Cell to punish and hurt Gohan's friends.
Cell became the definitive antagonist of this arc, after absorbing Androids 17 and 18 to achieve his perfect transformation. And in this state, surpassed by Goku in terms of power, reason why the Saiyan decided to resign and withdraw from his combat, since he trusted in the power of his son.
However, neither Cell nor the Z Fighters present understood Goku's decision, since Gohan was a child. But the villain heeded Goku's wordsso he tried to pressure him in such a way that he had no choice but to release all his power.
It was then that Cell generated 7 mini versions of himself, which he referred to as Cell Jr. and sent them to attack Gohan's friends and hurt them. After the young man will transform into Super Saiyan 2annihilated these Cell Jr. to protect his friends and continue the battle. But some time later, Dragon Ball Super revealed new details to us, such as that these characters are still alive.
Every year the special event “Jump Victory Carnival” takes place with the franchises that are in publication. During this evening, attendees and members manga managers usually share details and short chapters to enrich your main works. And so, in 2018, the guide added an extra story before the Tournament of Power and starring Android 17.
In this brief added story we can see that Android 17 has some allies, such as the 7 Cell Jr. that Cell generated during his fight against Gohan. This was a great revelation, since it allowed us to understand that the Cell Jr. were not completely annihilated and that they enjoy the same regenerative capabilities as Cell. This would explain how they are still alive.
And when Android 17 leaves the island where he lives to participate in the Tournament of Power, the Cell Jr. are the ones who remain in this place to protect the animals. the vegetation of the place. In fact, they did not know Goten and Trunks, which is why they decided to attack them to protect this beautiful site.
The Cell Jr. have gone over to the side of the good guys
But that's not all, since this would also explain why Android 17 became so strong in Dragon Ball Super, since he used to fight and train with the Cell Jr., since They are beings more powerful than one could imagine.. It is quite curious to know that these creatures have gone over to the side of the good guys, but it makes sense, since they were only following orders and had no clear motive for being evil.
The Cell Jr. likely died when Buu destroyed the planet, but they were brought back to life. when this wish was made to Shenlong. This is quite curious and is something that not everyone has realized.
