SSJ VEGETA VS FIRST FORM CELL INTERESTING WHAT IF...

[@DynastyZwarrior90]

Cell not fighting Vegeta is more because he fears Piccolo finding him and not because he would lose. Goku, who is weaker but not far from Vegeta either, claimed that he is no much for Cell after he recovered. I also think Piccolo was pretending even before losing his left arm, he acts suprised because he knows Cell is smart and would suspect something.

[@JackmcCoy1933]

Exactly my point too. All these things were so obvious in the manga and in the anime, there is a good chance too that this cell is on par or maybe stronger than android 18, Cell was avoiding unnecessary fights because he wanted to build up his power by consuming easy victims. If he attacked vegeta at that time he'll be sense by the z fighters and all of them will come at them and that will ruin his plan. If Piccolo didn't fuse with kami, cell would not hesitate to attack and absorb all of the z fighters perhaps even Goku. But since he knew that there is someone stronger than him he refused so.

[@DynastyZwarrior90]

@DevilMarioProductions Depends at which point. Cell was absorbing people for almost 4 days straight. Goku would have no idea how strong Cell was at the moment but he probably sensed his power while fighting Piccolo. Cell was hiding his Ki for the next 4 days.

[@tonyt3197]

I personally believe Cell would win that confrontation at that point and I believed he chose to avoid Vegeta because as soon as battle engages, Piccolo and everyone else would be able to sense their energy and track after him.

Bear in mind that Vegeta was close enough in power to Android 18 to give her a good fight. The issue was that all 18 had to do was burn him out; she was no doubt stronger, but Vegeta was close enough in power to where he was still knocking her around when he got in those good hits. For that reason, I think Vegeta isn’t far off from this version of Cell, and scores a decent chance.

[@DaRkJoKeR77]

One thing you missed that's worth mentioning is that the Piccolo that got temporarily surprised by Cell was still suppressed by his weighted clothing. He wasn't at the same level he was at when he fought 17 evenly. Piccolo immediately went all out vs 17. This is important because it lowers the required power level Cell would have had to be at in order to be capable of catching Piccolo off guard which benefits Vegeta further.

[@ojpickle5923]

This fight happened right after he fused. So Piccolo never had time to update his weights after fusing with Kami. That means that the weights aren't that heavy so it doesn't make much of a difference.

[@MaskedFighter]

@DaRlJoKeR77, We've got to keep in mind that this same Cell easily killed Future Trunks without breaking a sweat, how much stronger is Super Saiyan Vegeta compared to Super Saiyan Trunks? I can bet that it's not by a lot, hes stronger than Trunks but not by a lot. Based on that id say Cell is stronger still. My theory is Cell was more worried about everyone ganging up on him, if he fought Vegeta then Piccolo and everyone else would locate him, whereas absorbing normal civilians wouldn't require him to use his power and the absorbtion would be quick and easy, Vegeta would put up decent resistance and Cell will be found by all the fighters. Now if this was after absorbing tens of thousands of people then Cell wipes the floor with all of them.

[@danielsilva-ds2u]

​@MaskedFighter trunks never went ssj on cell. Cell got the surprise attack and strangled trunks. So it's not fair to say cell vs trunks. It's more like cell stabbed trunks in the back. It does make me now ask why cell didn't absorb trunks. Maybe you can only do that when the prey is alive. If that's the case, it just helps my argument that cell couldn't fight ssj trunks. He had to do a sneak attack. He got no absorption, but doesn't risk the loss.

[@robo-raven2157]

@@danielsilva-ds2u He was probably stronger than Trunks, but didn't want to start a fight and potentially destroy the time machine. Why he decided to snap his neck instead of absorbing him, it could just be arrogance. Maybe he thought he wouldn't need it, not knowing that the Z Fighters and Androids were stronger in the main timeline. He did something similar when he decided not to absorb Piccolo because his objective (the Androids) was right there, not knowing that 16 was stronger than him, so it wouldn't be out of character.

[@hrthrhs]

​@@MaskedFighter Some good points here. I'll chime in. Based on Piccolo's weighted clothing, it seems the gap between him and IC is actually larger than this vid implies. Also consider Vegeta only mentioned one of the power levels is stronger than himself (Piccolo). Also consider the Future Trunks aspect you brought up - the Androids 17 and 18 in his timeline are significantly stronger than him. Then, I swear he comments after travelling back in time to the main timeline, that the androids in the main timeline are stronger than in his. Now consider Vegeta was able to go toe-to-toe with 18. This would imply Vegeta is noticeably stronger than the Androids in Future Trunks' timeline, meaning Vegeta is significantly stronger than Trunks. Overall, I think IC hid from Vegeta simply because he didn't want to attract attention. But, Vegeta is still slightly stronger, with 18 being equal to Vegeta, or very slightly stronger, with Piccolo and 17 being slightly stronger still.

[@danielnikolich-hn2uz]

I was waiting the whole video for the “VEGETA’S TECHNIQUE!!??!!” and wasn’t disappointed 😂😂

[@TheFinalChapters]

Cell was confused by Vegeta's power for the same reason Android 20 and 18 were confused: according to what he knew, Vegeta wasn't supposed to be a Super Saiyan. While Cell probably felt he could win the fight, he did not think he could do so quick enough to escape before Piccolo and the others caught up. It was far too risky to engage at the time, meaning he needs to get strong enough to be able to handle Piccolo before he should consider going after the other Z fighters. As for if Vegeta fought Cell first, it would have gone like Piccolo VS Cell, but even more in Cell's favor. And unlike Piccolo, Vegeta can't just regenerate his left arm.

[@rafaelsouto8151]

Vegeta can hold his arm tho like he always does

[@blaketindle4703]

At the time Cell sees Vegeta, they’re both in between 18 and 17 in power. But there’s still a significant gap between them! Cell gave Piccolo a pretty tough fight! There’s no way Vegeta could have done that at the time!

[@VacantMinded]

Speaking about Vegeta not getting a Zenkai, I actually believe that the way Zenkais work literally prevents you from getting them from people without Ki, or at least without a detectable power. Which would also explain why Gohan and Trunks got bodied so hard in the future and somehow never caught up, so much so that even after over a decade of fighting them Gohan was still so much weaker that the moment they decided to stop having fun he was instantly wrecked.

Cell was probably scared that piccolo would sense his ki if he fought Vegeta. We know Vegeta would never call someone "ridiculously strong" unless they were above him.

[@StevenZissimos]

I believe Vegeta had actually received a Zenkai boost after his fight with 18. I know it isn't explicitly stated that he did get stronger, but Saiyans usually become stronger after healing from severe injuries. It's happend before, so I see no reason to believe that he didn't receive a Zenkai. But as far as powerscaling goes, it's hard to pinpoint how strong he is after the 18 fight. It's very possible that he's around the level of 18, but we just don't know.

[@michaelmccaskey2924]

It also shows how much power piccolo gets with kami going from knocked out by 17 to fighting him evenly with their rematch cell must have information of how strong the androids are in order to know how strong he has to be to absorb them

[@zanzax6438]

Heck yeah, two videos back to back today! You’re making me very boring day. Much more exciting

[@granvillimus]

From what it appeared, Piccolo was able to make it so that only his arm was damaged by Cell, not the rest of his body. By contrast, when you see Cell stab and absorb humans, their entire bodies wither and disappear in a more uniform manner, we don't see individual sections of their bodies affected. I suspect this may be a trait granted by Piccolo's unique Namekian biology, being able to isolate his arm so the rest of his body isn't affected. Strength may be a factor too though. It's possible that if Vegeta were stabbed in his arm by Cell, he may not be able to isolate it like Piccolo did. Being substantially weaker than Piccolo is also a problem and would make breaking out of such a bind tricky. Cell seemed unwilling to battle Vegeta more because he was outnumbered than anything.

[@SamsarasArt]

In terms of power, I'd say Vegeta and Cell at this point in the story are very close with Cell having a slight edge. Cell wasn't quite as strong as 17 or 18 yet but he's not far behind, and Vegeta kept up with 18 decently until his energy was depleted. Vegeta being close to Cell in power doesn't mean all that much when you consider his other advantages. Cell is a complete enigma to the cast at this point in the story but Cell knows everything about them. In terms of intel, Vegeta is outclassed big time. And Cell's arsenal of abilities and techniques goes without saying. So yeah Cell would win. Even if Vegeta rivals him in power, he's outclassed in other factors. As we saw with Cell's fight with Piccolo, despite being overpowered by quite a bit Cell is still able to get the drop on him and absorb his arm.

Another thought though, is that in a lot of countries like china and Japan where traditional martial arts are very popular and revered, A very large percentage of the population at least trains a good bit in their ealry years.

In my opinion 1st appearence Cell is slightly weaker than the Androids (but in a fight has the advantage to absorb them), he could be even slightly weaker or slightly stronger than Vegeta but his techniques at the time were unexpected like Kamehameha, solar flame, regeneration and especially absorption, they put him ahead. I don't think you can get a zenkai by an injured arm, you need more serious damage, and if he get it, would be really poor. Not so easy fight for 1st appearence Cell, great question Mike.

[@galacticgalaxyonezerone7235]

Vegeta would refuse to lose like he always does which is good but I think he would have the win because cell expended at least a good chunk of energy dealing with piccolo and the kameahmeah wave. Even if fresh I still think vegeta has the advantage or he wouldn’t be so eager to go look for him and frustrate over find Waldo. He sensed him before he left so vegeta knew or had an idea of what he’s dealing with and what he has to do to assure a victory. Though I’m just going to add and guess on this but since cell tends to lean more towards a specific z fighter when preforming their technique are they really getting a sense of depth on his true over all power behind it or just those cells at the time not sure. It’s still his but I’m saying this because they always say wait now I’m sensing goku now 2 piccolos now vegeta.

[@tehjboney4249]

Cell would have easily absorbed this Vegeta especially since Cell’s power eclipsed most of the Z Fighters from his timeline but he was astonished by the power of Piccolo in this current timeline due to his fusion between himself and his other half Kami. Cell would have most likely killed Vegeta similar to how he killed Trunks and this could have even led to Cell becoming even that more closer to having enough power to attempt to absorb Androids 17 and 18 without even struggling as much.

Therefore Piccolo Before Merging with Kami is at Least Over 60 Million.

[@stephano2996]

In my opinion Imperfect Cell was just a sneaky character that only had 1 main objective and anything else was just not important. At some point Piccolo and Tien tried to track down Imperfect Cell and he still didnt engage with them even when he had absorbed enough humans and stated himself that Piccolo would stand no chance anymore. He would know because he fought Piccolo at his best and yet chose to avoid him. In that regard it also makes sense he also chose to avoid Vegeta. It doesnt necessarily mean he was weaker than Vegeta then. If im being completely honest Imp. Cell performed better against Super Piccolo than Ssj Vegeta did against android 18. And if Android 17/18 are close to equal in power to Super Piccolo then logically Imp. Cell would have at least a slight edge in power over Ssj Vegeta. I know the infinite energy argument is there, but nothing in the Vegeta vs 18 battle showcased she was worried that she'd lose nor did Vegeta inflict any real damage to her. So even without the infinite energy available to her she still would not have any trouble with Vegeta. Meaning she was just outclassing Vegeta in every single way. (Also 16 confirmed she was stronger than Vegeta back then when Super Vegeta is about to engage with Semi-perfect Cell). And Vegeta stated that 18 was toying with him when he was losing. So the infinite energy argument didnt play any role in the outcome of that battle. Also you mentioned Super Piccolo didnt hold anything back against Imp. Cell and he was winning indeed but it wasnt overwhelming. (By winning i mean Piccolo was getting the better of him in those engagements but Cell managed to get back up his feet fairly quick so in that regard it wasnt overwhelming). Which is a impressive feat for Cell considering Piccolo was using his full power throughout the fight. And comparatively 18 was holding back the vast majority of the battle vs Vegeta because she had her inner monologues that she might have to go full power indicating she didnt. And she was still winning. Imagine how short of a battle it would be if she would go full power from the get go. In my humble opinion there is too much going Cells way if it were to come down in a 1v1 Ssj Vegeta vs Imp. Cell battle.

[@andreycz535]

I believe that weighted piccolo is around 18's level and judging by his fight with imperfect cell piccolo has to be at least slightly stronger than him and another thing is vegeta was shocked by Piccolo's power unlike imperfect cell but even considering that vegeta got a zenkai from his fight with 18 i believe he loses this one but he might put up a good fight against imperfect cell

Overall I think that if the fight took place after Piccolo's encounter with Cell Vegeta would be far more prepared. Because while Vegeta would be able to sense Cell's power level and knows he can use the other Z fighters techniques, and also given he lost to 18 he'd be a little more cautious in the fight similar to what we see in the battle against Freiza where he is picking his spots after better after Freiza transforms. Now Cell could absolutely star the fight off with a solar flare and go for a quick win but that's the only edge I'm giving him. Because Cell is comprised of both Freiza's and Vegeta's cells so confidence isn't something he lacks so if Cell sensed Vegeta's power and held back means Cell didn't think he'd win the fight even if he pulled a Vegeta v Dadoria and jumped him from behind. So while it would be a close fight Vegeta either takes Cell out with a Big Bag Attack or the Galick Gun if not Cell out right running for hills like Dr. Gero did.

This is actually a very good fight Vegeta was about on Par with 18(Piccolo implies that the only reason 18 is getting the upper hand is because Vegeta is gassing out) so that means SSJ Vegeta ~ Android 18 PIccolo power in relation to Imperfect Cells is much harder to tell but it must have been a pretty decent gap if you just looked at there fight you might be fooled into thinking there about even but we know Piccolo wasn't trying to kill Cell but is trying to get information out of him and Piccolo(Who is weighted) says even post absorbing his energy Cell is STILL not enough to defeat him and mind you this Piccolo while Unweighted is relative to 17 who is only SLIGHTLY stronger then 18 and Imperfect Cell is even weaker then this as even Cell getting an Amp and Piccolo getting Weakened it doesn't put him on Piccolo Weighted Level. so it would probably go something like this Unweighted Piccolo ~ 17 > Weighted Piccolo(Vegeta says this Piccolo is stronger then himself) > 18 ~ Vegeta ~ Weakened Weighted Piccolo(Vegeta does imply this Piccolo might be stronger then him when he first arrive however Piccolo when Vegeta first arrives is unleashing his energy in a rage so its likely Piccolo was rage boost at the time) > Amped Imperfect Cell > Non Amped Imperfect Cell But Power might not be enough here as Cell is very tricky and if Vegeta goes into this cocky he would likely be caught off guard but would Vegeta at THIS point go into this Cocky and I don't think so Vegeta at this point is super pissed about being defeated by 18 I think he would just try to end the fight as fast as possible to get some of his pride back but I will say Vegeta doesn't have the margin for error Piccolo does if Vegeta slips up even once he will die but if he fights at his best and keeps his head cool he can win 55% of the time.

Weird theory but what if saiyans stop getting zenkais after achieving super saiyan?

[@jsb6975.ah.crapbaskets]

I do think it would've been a good tradeoff for the more transformations Saiyans gain access to, the more difficult it becomes to increase their base power.

Hi mike

[@raziax9603]

Can you imagine a timeline where Cell came but Trunks never did?

[@micahwatson7652]

That's the Cell we saw in the entire Android/Cell saga.

[@shotsbyexs]

Bro you were supposed to say "Vegeta could've used final flash.... or maybe even VEGETAS TECHNIQUE to beat imperfect cell'

[@WickedKnightAlbel]

Man, Gero really made his masterpiece weaker than the pair of androids that his perfection hinges on

[@eranshachar9954]

In terms of raw power at this time I go with the prince. But in terms of strategy Cell might come up with a better strategy if he is cornered so it's hard to say. However I still pick Bejita as my winner in this case.

[@eranshachar9954]

@@sky-oq5mr Maybe but this is really depends on how Bejita would have responded to Cell trying to absorb him. Also Piccoro for certain would have felt the energy and rush to help Bejita. So would Bejita end up injured? Probably. But if Piccoro is there to be involved maybe there was a slight chance for victory. Then again knowing the prince he made the severe mistake of letting Cell to get into his 3rd form. So I don't know. If he lost it would be duo to being impulsive too much.

[@Notorious_Grey]

Hey Mike, I have a question about Cell and the artificial humans. What did Cell actually attain from 17 and 18 which allowed such dramatic transformation? Was it their limitless reactors? DNA that would perfect his biology?

[@MegasXRL]

more like a fusion honestly. They are so powerful because their biology is mixed up with the limitless energy reactors, when cell absorbs that its like a fusion.. because cell didn't got limitless energy for him, he still had ki and stamina unlike the androids

[@Notorious_Grey]

@@MegasXRL But cell absorbed them whole, clothes and all. Later he doesn't even need 18 to reach his perfect form, so I wonder what exactly did cell need them for aside from the energy to transform. Like- could cell in theory absorb a few Saiyans and reach imperfect or perfect levels?

[@ericbowers5968]

Maybe piccolo could have done more against cell if he hardcore trained instead or just chilling and levitating in fromt of a waterfall.

[@RuanAntunes7]

Vegeta would have been annihilated be Cell. Piccolo was far stronger than Vegeta after he merged with Kami and even he couldn’t beat him.

[@yellaninja4120]

A lot of people think cell was beyond Vegeta lv because he killed future trunks but in flashbacks in anime it is always base form trunks not super Saiyan. Cell probably caught trunks off guard and killed him. Because I don’t think cell power jumped up enough to surpass Vegeta and especially piccolo til he drained millions more humans after piccolo met him.

[@thedragonreborn9856]

For a brief, shining moment, Piccolo was stronger than all the super saiyan’s

[@CreamerOfTheDairySquad]

What if the Briefs family didn't exist? (which is different than what if goku didnt meet them)

[@Pen_Slinger]

I wonder, if Cell had used Kaioken, could he have closed the gap between himself and Gohan or would be like when Goku and Frieza in that would only damage Gohan a little but ultimately exhaust himself in the process?

[@Dav624]

This doesn't make much sense though because kaioken is a technique that Goku learned from king Kai it's not something that lies inside his genes for cell to inherit such power the Kamehameha could be interpreted that it was gokus main beam attack similarly how vegeta had the galic gun beam attack so in that context the beam inheritance could be acceptable by the idea of inheritance of genes but the kaikoen makes no sense if cell is able to use it he didn't train with king Kai he probably doesn't even know the technique

[@MrKevin486]

Piccolo was a good amount stronger then Vegeta after his Fusion with Kami, Cell was putting up a good fight with Piccolo. Cell would beat Vegeta pretty handily at this point imo.

[@GrubKiller436]

Good point. Vegeta might be possibly stronger, but Imperfect Cell would beat him due to his many abilities. They're too close in power level, and Cell's abilities would outweigh the fight in his favor.

[@psychotropicfan]

@laughingstockmedia not wanting to attack vegeta is just not wanting to bring piccolo and trunks and kuririn down on him. Cell points out vegeta is stronger than vegeta should be but would definitely lead with “and he's stronger than me too!” it's like piccolo saying kuririn being strong at the 23rd will make the world harder to conquer.

[@NtheHecker]

It's still possible that Android 18 was only toying with Vegeta while she wore him down. But let's assume Vegeta is near 18’s level. Cell was running from Piccolo. He didn't want to fight Vegeta because that would have alerted Piccolo. Vegeta was stronger than Cell thought because Cell didn't know about the SSj transformation, same as the androids didn't. This doesn't mean Vegeta was near Cells level. He clearly wasn't because Cell was near Piccolo's level who outclassed Vegeta by a lot.

[@jadenhall7938]

I doubt that could happen to Vegeta, even if he got caught off guard.

[@robnaj]

But also Vegeta’s ego still gets almost killed 😂

[@salavantias1948]

Cell could have decided not to fight Vegeta because he would get Piccolo to attack him due to sensing vegeta fighting him and Cell would swiftly be in a 2v1.

[@JohnnySilverFinger]

[@tyronejennings599]

Vegeta said that he was nothing after 19 punched him.

[@jaysonrainey8180]

Cell...easily

[@j-r-hill]

Vegeta being stronger doesn't necessarily mean he'd finish Cell off right now. He later was stronger than semi-perfect Cell, but didn't finish him off when Cell appealed to his pride and thirst for challenge. I think Cell's personality and motivations changed slightly after absorbing 18, but I think he'd likely be able to make the same argument to Vegeta at this point

[@keljerel]

What if Cell snuck up on Vegeta like he did Piccolo and absorbed his arm? Vegeta lacks Piccolo’s regeneration ability and would have been screwed.
