Considering the vast differences in biology, it isn't surprising that Cell doesn't possess the complete traits of is donor species'. Namekians are slug people that don't even have genders and reproduce asexually and I don't know what the hell Freeza is, I've assumed he was some form of lizard man. The fact that Pan exists is proof of this, considering the fact that humans and saiyans can produce fertile offspring, which, technically means that humans and saiyans are actually the same species. The reason human-saiyan hybrids CAN go super saiyan is because human DNA and saiyan DNA are compatible. My Theory: Cell can't go Super Saiyan or great ape, because his saiyan DNA isn't compatible with the DNA of namekians or Whatever-the-hell-Freeza's race is. Overall the answer is Cell does have his own version of Super Saiyan but as far as we know it's unsure of whether or not he can go Ape, but I'd say he probably can't. One last thing to mention is that Cell also transformed his body similar to Trunk's Grade 3 Super Saiyan, the bulky form. Another thing to note is that he has the DNA and cells from people like Vegeta, Goku, etc. Cells being necessary to go Super Saiyan, we are left with the question of does Cell actually have enough S-Cells to go Super Saiyan? I believe with the previous information about the similar aura and electricity points to him having S-Cells. If just having the DNA is enough to go Super Saiyan, comparing him to people like Gohan, Trunks, Goten, etc who are not full Saiyans then we can assume he can use the power of a Super Saiyan.Įdit: With the recent information given by Akira Toriyama in regards to S.

If you think about it in the terms of hybrids, in all technicality Cell is a Saiyan Hybrid because he has DNA from multiple Saiyans. Only Saiyans with tails can transform into the Great Ape and this in turn means he cannot become Super Saiyan 4 (which is not a canon form anyway).įelt this needed an update after seeing people up vote this a few times. This is only commonly found on Super Saiyan 2 form that Gohan had at the time.Īlso no Cell cannot become a Great Ape because he is does not have a Saiyan tail. Notice that he has the Golden Aura and the electricity surrounding him. That's why when he was blew himself up and then came back he had a golden aura around him, people considered this form Super Perfect Cell. He does utilize the power of the Saiyans.
