* CompleteMonster: [[Characters/DragonBallCell Cell]] is a bio-android from an alternate timeline created by Dr. Gero to become the UltimateLifeform by absorbing [[Characters/DragonBallAndroids17And18 Androids 17 and 18]]. When he discovers that the Androids of his timeline have been defeated, he kills the [[Characters/DragonBallFutureTrunks Future Trunks]] of his timeline. Cell then steals Trunks's time machine and travels back in time to complete his goal. Cell goes to town after town, [[TheAssimilator devouring thousands with his tail]] just to increase his powers. When pursuing Android 18 and unable to find her, he begins bombing islands full of inhabitants to flush her out. Upon reaching his Perfect Form, Cell hosts the "Cell Games", promising that once he wins he will terrorize Earth before destroying it and that he would relish the expressions of fear and terror of the people he would hunt down one by one. Cell, wanting to unleash Gohan's hidden potential, begins physically and emotionally [[WouldHurtAChild torturing the boy]]. He spawns the Cell Juniors to torture and kill the Z Fighters to further goad Gohan into transforming, succeeding when he callously kills Android 16 in front of Gohan. But [[SoreLoser when the fight stops going his way]], Cell attempts to [[TakingYouWithMe self-destruct and take the Earth with him]] out of spite, forcing Goku to perform a HeroicSacrifice. Cell survives his suicide attempt, however, and kills Future Trunks when he returns, before firing an attack that he promises would [[OmnicidalManiac wipe out the solar system]]. Inheriting Frieza's sociopathic sadism and Vegeta's pride, Cell has full agency over his actions and takes full pleasure in it.

* HilariousInHindsight: Unlike how time travel is usually seen in fiction, it's presented as creating a separate timeline that doesn't alter the future one in any way. Many years later, [[Film/AvengersEndgame the Avengers would wind up going through the same kind of time travel]]. This is even more hilarious in the Latin American Spanish dub, as Mario Castañada provides the voices for both Goku and Smart Hulk, respectively.
