I was working on a song last night when I suddenly thought for no reason at all, "OMG! Cell's name is derived from the word 'cell'! How brilliant!" Yes, I'm bright as heck. I also blame it on my badly-translated copies of DBZ (the manga) where his name became something else.
It suddenly makes a lot of sense the way Cell needs to absorb Android 17 and 18 to be "complete." I also used to wonder how he knows everyone's special abilities without even trying. Hurray for magical science! I shall now reread that particular arc because I'm so excited about this inane discovery.

wow DBZ was a really bad show.
two weeks worth of episodes of two cartoon characters just shouting kamayamaya, or whatever the hell it was, whilst boasting hair that defied gravity at will and throwing near superluminal punches.
why o why was i wasting my time as an 8 year old!  |

Pfft. Just because you got such impression from watching the (horrendously idiotic) anime doesn't mean you know what DBZ is all about.
DBZ is still one of my all-time favorite manga, and it is also the work that inspired a lot of successful--albeit mainstream (because mainstream is always bad)--shounen manga of today.
Note the emphasis on manga. Anime just has this killing nature that turns even the most awesomest originalest story ever into an idiotic show with pointless fillers.

actually i don't watch anime. (i don't watch manga either)
but when your 8 or 9 years old, wow that seems like such a long time ago now, and you have and hour or so before you have to get to school. that episode of DBZ, which may or may not hold the promise of coming to a conclusion that morning, instead of the usual open endedness of the majority of episodes i've seen, seems like an appropriate way to pass the time.
but then i grew up a little. |
