Was Cell the best DBZ villain

Himself as the dominant species.

Is buu a living being technically? Does he have cells? Could Gero have put some buu dna in cell?

Super Buu is literally just a perfect cell clone (esp after absorbing piccolo)

Cell was a smooth-talker but he was effectively a wild dog. He seems awesome initially but he was just a beast out to cause problems and destroy crap because he didn't know what else to do.

He was running on instinct really the entire time he was the villain. I love him to death but he was definitely not a complex or really interesting villain. Cell just wanted to gloat before blowing up the Earth for the hell of it. Buu was basically all of the worst traits of Cell with none of the positive ones and the addition of annoying turds like Babidi running around. At least the Buu saga gave us Dabura.

Frieza was definitely the best DBZ villain.

Yes, no contest. After the Cell Saga DBZ went to shit.

his original VA is better dubfag.

Cell is likeable because he's refined and he is a worthy opponent, but not many of his actions are villainous.

This.

>absorbs hundreds of thousands or even millions of people
>kills thousands more in whimsical tests of power (like blowing up half a cityscape just to end his Cell Games announcements with a bang)
>Murders Android 16 just to torture Gohan
>tries to blow himself up and take the planet with him, kills Goku and King Kai in the process
>murders Trunks when he returns
>tries to blow up the entire solar system as the first step of his plan to wipe out all life in universe

>not many of his actions are villainous

I agree, but I preferred Goku being alive in the end. After all the battle between good and evil doesn't revolve around one man.

He was perfect

Cell was great because he was just an evil version of the good guys.

Not best.

Perfect.

Perfect Cell was the most fun villain.

Frieza was the best villain. He actually had ambitions outside of that "hurr I will be the strongest!" shit.

I like Cell's goofy 2nd form design and self destruction threat. The actual Cell tournament was kind of dumb, it would make more sense for everyone strong enough to team up on him.

It would be better if the titular dragonballs had any relevance to the saga.

No he didn't. He wanted immortality.

>He actually had ambitions
He was an entitled brat who sat on his floating chair all day managing his father's business

>it would make more sense for everyone strong enough to team up on him.
that never works in Dragon Ball

nah

Best design,maybe,best villain,no

Cell sounds like Gul Dukat

Hard to say. The fact that kid buu was killable by the spirit bomb proves he has some "base" substance that can be destroyed past the point of regenerating, if it was just his atoms reforming regardless even that wouldn't of been enough.

Seeing as buus a magical being its not to far fetched to say he doesn't need cells, though I would argue there's a base amount of mass needed to "hold" the magic that keeps him together.

He was perfect.

Power level wise he should be, seeing as he should have frieza's potential on top of goku's and vegeta's if he bothered training. He also been shown to be semi patient unlike freeza meaning it would be unlikely he do something stupid like freeza did by undertraining.

well you could argue Buu was ultimately about devolving too, since we find out his base form was Kid Buu, not the strongest, but the biggest threat

maybe

Goku Black says HI.

Nobody here likes Cell or his shitty arc.

I like Cell and his awesome arc.

Nobody here with good taste likes Cell or his shitty arc.

So everyone here likes cell and his shitty arc then?

No. After he became "perfect" he was reduced to nothing more than a Freeza wannabe personality-wise. He was most imteresting as a reptilian monster who went around drinking people as a source of power and using cunning to get stronger. He was boring after that.

I really liked Buu, he felt like a db villain

...

Ha ha, holy fucking shit. I've never felt as old as I do now. If this was back when I first started posting here, you both would have been flayed alive, then whatever remained would be banned.

Can any other oldfags back me up about the Norio Wakamoto circlejerk?

DBZ yes
In all of DB? No.

oh hey the 12 year olds are here

Original Cell is best. Had a legit menacing design and the whole absorption gimmick was scary as fuck

Buu Saga > Freeza Saga > Saiyan Saga > 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai > 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai > 21st Tenkaichi Budokai > Cell Saga > Piccolo Daimaou Saga > Pilaf Saga > Red Ribbon Army Saga

Vegeta > Freeza > Piccolo > Buu > Taopaipai > Tenshinhan > General Blue > Pilaf > Cell > Tsurusennin > Piccolo Daimaou

Says the one that has Cell as their Husbando

I am trying to comprehend how anyone could ever like General Blue more than Cell, and I just can't do it.

Cell is the blandest villain in the series. He literally has no personality.

Freeza was obviously best

>it's a villain who could kill the hero right away but allows him to awaken his full power on purpose only to be killed by the hero like an idiot

>Daimao

But Toguro wanted Yusuke to get strong enough to beat him. That was his intention.

Cell was great, you don't know what you're talking about.

He was a Frieza knock-off with nowhere near the entertainment factor or charisma that Frieza had.

MFW when you fags eventually realize that Dragonball jumped the shark when Raditz showed up

It jumped the shark when Roshi destroyed the moon.

No. You need a personality for that. Cell lost his after becoming perfect. He was the worst villain by far.

King Piccolo was best over all.

Yes, his identity and presence of each stage of his transformation is more memorable than most villains I've seen in anime.

Vegeta. Easily my favourite whether he be a villain, or a good-neutral dude.

>regeneration

fuck no, that shit should never have come to DBZ, makes everything that isn't the big finishing attack completely pointless.

Frieza was best.

Vegeta isn't a villain. Vegeta is the absurd hero. Vegeta is Sisyphus. All hail our prince.

>le "Cell was a Freeza rip-off" meme

He was more like a typical Saiyan than he was Freeza.

look it's already silly that every nigger from a billion different galaxies would somehow know the same karate

fuckin nerds just enjoy something for what it is
