The New Cell, always referred to as just Cell, is a Bio-Android created by Dr. Gero during the Tournament of Time. He was created from the same bio-essence as his original counterpart, with the addition of new sources including Captain Ginyu, Frost, Nappa, Cabba and Shallot.

Appearance[]

The new Cell is identical to the previous Cell.

Personality[]

New Cell is arrogant, considering himself far superior to the original Cell. He is also shown to be willing to take dangerous risks in order to achieve greater levels of power, which is shown when he admitted that his plan to use the Super Cell Games to achieve his Super Perfect Form was risky as there was no guarantee that he would survive.

Like the original Cell, he sees himself as superior to others to the point he treats them as little more than playthings. Even his own allies don't mean anything to him and he has no problem killing Cooler for attempting to blow up the Earth, as it would end his "games" too early. However before acquiring his perfect form, he is willing to work with Dabura (and by extension the Organization of Babidi) especially after the King of Demon Realm assists him in absorbing Android 18 and agrees to host the Super Cell Games as a way to pay his debt to Dabura, even though New Cell has his own reasons for hosting the games.

As he has data on the original Cell, he is aware of what led to his counterpart's downfall. As a result, he is aware of the true power of Gohan (Youth) whom he seemingly wishes to surpass and defeat to prove that he is superior to the original Cell, by doing what he could not. He also able to tell that Zahha's Locational Phasing Spell is a form of teleportation that is different from Instant Transmission. He also seems to have knowledge of Gohan and Goku's genetic heritage as his data reveals Bardock to be Goku's biological father when he accesses it upon encountering Bardock during the Super Cell Games. After Bardock works with Shallot to successfully stop Final Form Cooler from destroying the Earth, New Cell acknowledges Bardock and even praises him for it.

However, he underestimates both Hercule and Zahha's magical abilities, which ultimately leads to his downfall when Hercule carries Zahha to Shallot so he can heal him, allowing Shallot and Gohan to finish him off. Additionally, like Shallot, Goku, Vegeta, Nappa, Cabba, and Piccolo, New Cell was fooled by the Mastermind Zahha's undercover "good guy" persona, never realizing that he was the true Mastermind that was secretly responsible for New Cell's creation via influencing Turles, Dr. Gero, and Babidi via the Dark Ki.

Biography[]

Dragon Ball Legends[]

Main article: Dragon Ball Legends Finding that obtaining the bio-essence of the numerous strong warriors participating in the Tournament of Time was the ideal way to create a Bio-Android superior to the original Cell, Gero did this, creating this New Cell in his Imperfect Form from the get-go and programming him to absorb 17 and 18 to obtain his Perfect Form.  While he was initially troubled by Shallot, Zahha, and Cabba, Cell eventually manages to capture Androids 17 and 18 and attain his Perfect Form thanks to the intervention of Dabura. Deciding to return the favor, Cell decided to start the Super Cell games to create chaos.

He mass produced Cell Jr. to wreak havoc in order to "train" people in the week leading up to the Super Cell Games. Due to the number of Tournament of Time participants on Earth, New Cell makes the Super Cell Games a team battle royale. As a result, he forms his own team consisting of Frieza's brother Cooler and the leader of the Galaxy Soldiers Bojack, both of whom were provided by Dabura.

At the Super Cell Games, the Pre-Cell Games Hercule attempts to take on New Cell much like how his present counterpart had with the original Cell during the Cell Games. Eventually, Cell split himself using the Multi Form Technique so he could fight multiple opponents at once. One of his copies fought Gohan while one fought against Shallot & Cabba. During their battle with the clone, Shallot and Cabba manage to achieve Super Saiyan 2 and Super Saiyan forms respectively. Their newfound power allows them to defeat the clone. Boujack is eliminated from the Super Cell Games when the repaired Android 16 decides to use his Last Resort which Bulma (Youth) didn't notice so the bomb wasn't removed, allowing 16 to heroically sacrifice himself to take Boujack out of the tournament, allowing Cabba and Shallot focus on assisting Gohan. During his battle with Shallot, Final Form Cooler attempts to destroy the Earth with a Supernova, but the attack is stopped by the intervention of Shallot's ally Bardock. New Cell proceeds to injure Cooler using his brother's Death Beam technique, then destroys him for daring to destroy the Earth, as it would end the Super Cell Games prematurely. With his allies out of the way and the other participants dealt with, Cabba, Gohan, Shallot, Zahha, & Bardock focus on taking down New Cell. However, despite managing to seemingly destroy him, New Cell survives and returns stronger than ever in his Super Perfect Form, revealing that was his goal behind creating the Super Cell Games. New Cell admits his plan was a gamble on his part as there was no guarantee he would survive and comeback stronger like the original Cell did during the Cell Games, though he is pleased with the results.

Fortunately, Hercule comes to the rescue by helping to carry Zahha to Shallot and Gohan, so he can use his healing magic. Enraged by how New Cell treats people like his playthings, SSJ Shallot & SSJ Gohan combine Gohan's Super Kamehameha and Shallot's Wild Cannon into a powerful energy wave strong enough to destroy New Cell, putting an end to the so-called "Ultimate Warrior" and his Games once and for all.

Legacy[]

However, it is later revealed that Shallot's twin brother Giblet and the Organization of Babidi were behind New Cell's creation in addition to Dabura convincing him to host the Super Cell Games so they could gather more Kili. However, Babidi himself was ultimately being manipulated by the true Mastermind behind the Tournament of Time with Giblet revealed to be part of the Mastermind's group. Ultimately Zahha turns out to have been working as a double agent and reveals himself as the true Mastermind behind the Tournament of Time thus was the one responsible for manipulating Babidi, Dr. Gero, Turles, and Giblet with the Dark Ki. Zahha did this in order to collect Kili for the Omnificence Crystal, a failed prototype Super Dragon Ball the fragments of which Zahha had placed within Shallot and Giblet in order bring the Omnificence Crystal to completion so he can carry out his ultimate goal of destroying Universe 7.

Power[]

In his Imperfect Form, the new Cell is far stronger than Cell, being strong enough to outmatch Piccolo and easily take down base Cabba.

With his Semi-Perfect Form, he is able to outmatch Super Saiyan Shallot and goes on to evenly fight the upgraded Android 16.

It is said by Piccolo that if this new Cell reaches his Perfect Form, his power will be far beyond what the original Cell's power ever was. Zahha is scared of the possibility of the new Cell reaching his Perfect Form.

Later, after absorbing Android 18 and achieving his Perfect Form, he is able to take Super Saiyan Shallot’s attacks without any harm and easily take him down with one strike while holding back. He is also noted by Gohan to be on a whole other level than the previous Cell was. While his power was split by multi-Form, his main body fought Super Saiyan 2 Teen Gohan and was on the losing end. One of his clones was able to overpower Super Saiyan Shallot and base Cabba, but was defeated by Super Saiyan 2 Shallot and Super Saiyan Cabba, another fought Goten and Trunks, another fought Bardock and the last fought Krillin, Tien and Zahha.
