No all dragon ball characters are perfect. And although they have had an important weight in history, there are some who Akira Toriyama has regretted creating them.
The history of this character is very peculiar, since his base as a villain is spectacular. He is undoubtedly one of the most formidable among the antagonists he has created. Akira Toriyama.
And certainly Akira Toriyama has nothing to say about the character’s personality or plot. What he regrets is his design, very complex to draw for his team of illustrators in the 1990s, according to a review Alpha Beta Play.
This is Cell, an impressive villain created by Dr. Gero of the Red Patrol. The bioandroid has the DNA of each of the Z Fightersso it is a combination of the abilities of Piccolo, Goku, Ten Shin Han, Krillin and many more, but in an evil version.
He can transform into a Super Saiyan and if you don’t see him you can confuse his ki with one of the heroes of the saga. Also, he gets stronger by consuming people and can evolve into two more powerful forms by absorbing androids Number 17 and Number 18.
What’s wrong with Cell?
What happens with the bioandroid is that its design, which has different shades of green, complex faces, tails, and some black dots on its body, make it very complex to draw repetitively.
This is what Akira Toriyama regrets, to the point of having apologized to his designers after it became popular.
