Gingertown (ジンジャータウン) is a suburb of West City, located north of West City. Cell makes his first on-screen appearance here during the Imperfect Cell Saga, while he is absorbing the town's population.
Overview[]
Piccolo, Tien, Krillin, Future Trunks, and Vegeta in the destroyed city.
Gingertown was first heard about on the TV in Bulma's plane. The reporter said that there was a strange disappearance of many people in Gingertown. The Dragon Team initially believed that it was Androids 17 and 18 who were responsible, but Bulma doubted it as she suspected that their disappearance was somehow connected to the Time Machine that she, Future Trunks, and Gohan found, as well as egg fragments and a split exoskeleton near Gingertown. Not long thereafter, the CQ TV news agencies from West City arrived but were also absorbed. The only living inhabitant seen is the richest man in Gingertown who was about to be absorbed by Cell when Piccolo arrived.[1] Piccolo was not fast enough to save him, and the poor helpless man was absorbed completely by Cell, leaving only his clothes and his money.[2]
Gingertown is the site of Imperfect Cell's fight with the Super Namekian, Piccolo. The town was mostly destroyed during the fight between Piccolo and Imperfect Cell.[2] Piccolo was stronger than Cell in this battle, but due to a Solar Flare, Cell could escape before Piccolo could kill him.[3]

Goku finds the Six-Star Ball in the rocky area
Right before the Cell Games, Goku finds the Six-Star Dragon Ball in the rocky area west of Gingertown.[4] After Cell's defeat at the Cell Games, the Z Fighters used the Dragon Balls to resurrect those who were killed by Cell, among whom were the town's citizens.
Video Game Appearances[]
In Super Butōden and Super Butōden 2, Gingertown appears as a battle stage named Earth 2.

Trivia[]
- In the Funimation dub, both this town and Nicky Town share their names with one of Garlic Jr.'s henchmen; in this case, Ginger.
- The richest man in Gingertown is akin to a man of clothes blue, big moustache, big hair, that was drinking a juice who appears in Nicky Town in the episode "Laboratory Basement". He is also absorbed by Cell.
