Cell: You may be a Demon King, but you're not "Perfect."

[iGokuBlack]

Dabura is cool but Cell is Super perfect...

[BladeDaRazor]

Reporter: How are you planning on beating Cell?

Dabura: Hawk Tuah spit on that thang!

[Light_VIP]

If piccolo wasn’t fast thinking enough to dismember himself and survive Dabura spit then I would assume cell wouldn’t survive it either. This is assuming cell doesn’t know about it ahead of time, and there is no reason why he would.

[AndrewAce.]

I give the edge to Cell because of his higher potential and sustainability in battle...

[buildaggedonarmanaziie]

I believe that Dabura does have some type of regenerative properties because of when Fat Buu gouged out his eyes he seemingly regenerate them when you see him again when he stabbed Fat Buu with a spear. Not on the same level as Piccolo or Cell or Majin Buu, he doesn't just do it instantly, but I do believe that he has some type of regenerative powers.

[MajoraZ]

I really think this is a toss up, but I think the video/comments are underestimating Dabura a bit. I don't think "Cell can rip off parts of his body to avoid being turned to stone" is a foolproof counterplay. In the manga it's not clear how fast the petrification spreads, so depending on that and where it lands or if it gets on BOTH of Cells arms (so he can't rip parts off with his hands), then Cell may not be able to separate the petrified parts before it's too late, especially the first time Dabura uses the spit/before Cell knows what it does. Also, if even tiny bits of saliva will petrify things, then Dabura can probably release spit as a spray (think of a spit take) and get it all over multiple parts of Cell's body at once rather then single loogies. Cell also has a core, and if that'ss turned to stone first, he might not be able to regenerate, though given the manga says the core is in his head and but Cell obviously regenerates from Goku's instant Kamehameha anyways, that's questionable

The video also talks a lot about how Cell has the genetic material of genius fighters like Vegeta, Goku, and Piccolo and that could give him a tactical edge, but we don't really see Cell make much use of that combat intuition aside from with him recognizing the flaw of Grade 3 Super Saiyan? He certainly doesn't ever use complex tactics like Piccolo does. Conversely, Dabura seems pretty perceptive and strategic himself: he picks up on Vegeta's anger and wants to use that against Goku, Gohan, and Shin, and quickly picks up on how much of a threat Buu will eventually become even to Babadi. And while we don;t know it for sure, if he's king of the Demon world, he probably has experience with planning and managing things.

There's other things I could say about Cell and Dabura and statements which might imply their relative strengths that people seem to be overlooking, but ultimately I think that still all averages out to it being unclear who is stronger. Personally, I hope we see more of Dabura and his abilities in Damia, he and his dad are in the opening, after all!

Fun fact: Dragon Ball Z: Bojack Unbound (ドラゴンボールＺゼット 銀ぎん河がギリギリ！！ぶっちぎりの凄すごい奴やつ, Doragon Bōru Zetto Ginga Giri-Giri!! Butchigiri no Sugoi Yatsu, lit. Dragon Ball Z: The Galaxy at the Brink!! The Super Incredible Guy), also known as Dragon Ball Z: Super Guy in the Galaxy. This movie takes place several months after Cell's defeat at the Cell Games because Future Trunks has returned and it was said that he defeated the future Androids.

In the Universe Creation Saga, during their confrontation with Bojack, Goku and Vegeta mention having fought him in the past and their description of this past encounter indicates a version of the events of the film occurred within the Super Dragon Ball Heroes main timeline that Goku and Vegeta hail from.

Cheers 🍻

Before watching imma say cell just for regeneration

[JustAFox]

Genuinely, I feel like Dragon Ball Multiverse provided a pretty accurate depiction of the fight, with Cell winning due to his more varied arsenal of skills and his regeneration. Yeah, sure, Dabura’s spit was dangerous, but Cell could easily sever the affected part of his body or remove his head and regenerate.

[MrKevin]

Dabura takes this. Goku says that a suppressed Dabura before his meditation is "about the same level" as Cell, Goku IS talking about Cell at his best, it makes zero sense he'd refer to a weaker version. He later says that Dabura is "stronger than he thought he'd be" Meaning he is most likely stronger than Cell. How much more powerful is he then Cell? Not that much I'd wager given the weaker Gohan's preformance against him. I also totally do not agree with Geekdom, there is nothing saying that Sp Cell is on or above SSJ2 Gohan at ANY point. Gohan had used a lot of his energy just fighting Cell and lost more of it when he was injured. SP Cell is likely about 60-70% of Gohan's full SSJ2 power. Goku never says Gohan had extra reserves in the Kamehameha battle he simply thought that Gohan being around 50% was STILL enough to overcome Cell. And it was. Had Gohan at SSJ2 been fresh still like at the beginning of the fight, he would have beaten Super Perfect Cell easily as well. That's just how much stronger Gohan was compared to anyone at this point.

[GeneFOX]

Dabura's saliva spreads all over the body from multiple points. We see that when the spit lands on Krillin's face the stone was shown spreading across his arms, legs, and the rest of his body in seconds despite never getting spat on in those places.

[Toshineko]

Dabura: "W-what!? B-but how did you survive my Spit Technique!?"

Cell: "Because, Dabura, just like the guy I beat up once told me, you're either perfect or you're not me."

[TheCookingDojo]

Power wise, I think it's close but I'd have to give it to Cell. I also think that Cell has a much wider variety of techniques and as you mentioned mind sets. It's a fun fight to think about for sure.

Whenever the heroes always compare to the previous villain, I always assumed it was the most recent form that appeared. For example, and I know I'm using a dub line here. But in GT when Goku senses General Rildo and compares him to Majinn Buu, I always assumed he was referring to Kid Buu since that's the last form he fought.

[TanyaJ_CrueltyFreeBeauty]

Despite Cell being totally CAPABLE of regenerating, you have to remember that it could severely cut his stamina. For example, after Goku uses his Warp Kamehameha, Cell is missing half of his body. When he regenerates even that much, Goku comments on him losing a lot of energy. If Cell had to essentially decapitate himself, he would lose a TON of energy to do so as well as time since after SSJ2 Gohan also blew him apart with a Kamehameha, Gohan literally sat there and LET HIM REFORM. This means that healing from the neck down would be difficult and if he were just a head, he couldn't avoid an attack or second spit from Dabura. So, yes, he regenerates FASTER than Piccolo, but not fast enough to avoid a death blow and not without the same stamina drain that Piccolo ALSO experiences. Even in DBS, during the tournament of power, the sniper shot off one of Piccolo's arms and it still took him time and quite a bit of energy to regenerate it.

Oh, and to your point about the Grade 2 and 3 forms, you bring up when Cell taunted Trunks by doing the same thing, yet he ALSO bulks up like this out of anger against SSJ2 Gohan and tries to hit Gohan. So, while he may KNOW something, he is still capable of making mistakes when he becomes angry. He makes a lot more mistakes when he gets angry, just like any of the other fighters.

[adoniswilliamson]

You forgot that cell can’t just spam regeneration whenever he regenerates he burns Ki remember when goku hit him with the warp-K wave and blew up half his body when he regenerated he was powered down a lot and only got bailed out by goku giving him that senzu bean

[jba]

Anyone else have to watch at 1.5x speed to avoid falling asleep between the beginning and end of a single word he says?

[tompollockjr]

Just basing this on a gut vibe, but I feel like Super Perfect Cell would smoke Dabura.

[DamariusMonroe]

Ima have to go with super cell he gave kid gohan a run for his money at the ending while if gohan had kept training Dabura would have been childs play

[greenlantern]

How are you going to keep saying Vegeta had nothing to do with Gohan's win against cell?? It's obvious is the manga and anime that Vegeta helps out a lot.
