Cell is one of the most beloved villains dragon ball. However, whenever we talk about this character, we usually refer to its perfect form. However, this time we have to talk about his first appearance, It was not well received by Akira Toriyama’s editors due to the horrible style.
In an interview, Toriyama revealed that he was very proud of his work, but Not everyone on his team shared his sentiments., especially Yuu Kondo, the manga’s editor at the time, as his designs were a far cry from how cute Vegeta and Frieza were in their latest transformations. Toriyama commented on this:
“Yes, I liked the first cell, but Kondo-san told me: ‘It looks ugly. Of course, he can transform,’ so I had no choice but to transform him into his second form. (…) I was there too. Loved Sale, but they told me he looked stupid and I had to get him to his perfect form.”
Everything indicates that Cell’s transformations were not 100% Toriyama’s decision., but a note from its editors. Undoubtedly, it will be interesting to see the first version of Cell throughout the arc he plays. In related matters, a new Dragon Ball game has been leaked. Likewise, the release date Dragon Ball: Sparking! zero.
Author’s Note:
It’s a shame Toriyama’s version didn’t turn out to be true. If the editors hadn’t called for design changes, perhaps this beloved Dragon Ball arc would have been very different, something we’ll never know for sure.
