Goten and Trunks' HIDDEN STORY in the Dragon Ball Super Manga! 

For people who don't know they didn't exploded when Gohan fought them, it was for censorship. In the manga they were just brutally cut in half with their lower body remaining

17 adopting his nephews

It's quite surprising that they still have yet to achieve SSJ2

imagine these 7 growing up and achieving perfect form💀

I'd like to think that during the new Manga chapter, it's revealed that the cell juniors on 17's Island grew up and now goten and trunks just have a gang of blue cells on speed dial as backup fighters

Wow the Cell Jrs are still alive and turned go- *Spits coffee* 17 AND 18 WERE CONSIOUS INSIDE CELL?!! Man that moment where Cell threw up 18, what if 17 pushed her out?

Thats so cool. I love stuff like this in dragonball. Goten and trunks dont get that much screen time. So happy they are getting more spotlight

1. It does help explain why 17 is now so stupid strong and 2. Having them around could help Dr. Hedo make a better Perfect Cell Max.

I like to imagine that eventually theyll grow up to look almost exactly like Perfect Cell, and there'll just be a group of Perfect Cells protecting the island

The Cell Juniors honestly make sense. Every time I rewatched the Gohan kill them in the original Cell Games I always wondered how he did it when they were supposed to have the same powers as cell.

I kinda wanna see them Cell Jrs return and be fun side characters for Goten and Trunks to hang out with. That would be sweet. I mean, they might as well. They’re there. 😂

Those Cell Jr’s could easily end up as a Cell Z Fighter. Also how terrifying is it that 17 and 18 were fully aware while inside of Cell?

Gohan after the tournament of power : welp I've got some unfinished business to attend to

This could easily be an OVA or a filler episode of the anime

How did 17 manage to tame creatures that at bare minimum were 10x stronger than him?

I always thought it would be a cool story that a Cell Jr survived Gohans massacre and actually did age. You think about it, Cell might have the most potential in the Dragonball Universe (Frieza golden form, Saiyan God Ki, Namekian regen). He would eventually venture off into the universe to find out who he truly is.

It makes me extra sad thinking about how the anime can't get this arc. Cuz unlike the manga, which left the Cell Jrs body parts lying around (which is implied to be how they regenerated), they're completely destroyed.

Imagine that in the new arc somehow a tiny piece of cell max was left undestroyed and cell max slowly starts to regenerate until the point where its imperfect cell again and finally reaches it's perfect form which causes more problem for gohan, piccolo, goten and trunks. It would be cool aswell that goten and trunks bothe become good friends with the cell junior group and are tryna rescue them bc perfect cell max has absorbed them .

The Cell Jrs didn’t die, remember Cell had to be obliterated completely with a kamehameha to be killed while the Cell Jrs exploded by Gohan’s attack and just like Cell if he an survivor an explosion than they can also survive an explosion as well

Z fighters gonna have serious PTSD seen cell Jr once again

It would be so cool if at least one of these cell jrs grew up and basically just became a good guy cell

Oh wow 7 Cell Jr's. JUST so happened to show up one day.

I read up on this story a few years ago and I thought it was really interesting. It has been nice to see Goten and Trunks be given more of a focus recently, very underrated characters especially Goten.

They did a to be continued on black frieza and said "nah its side characte time"

Ight they made it make sense. I was about to be so pissed if they made the genetically engineered Android that took 20 years to collect enough samples for just random evolved on an island

Is there any update on the cell jrs??? As a anime watcher I didn't even know they still existed until today 😲

"managed to each them to respect rangers"😂👊👊💫

That explains 17s strength lol.

I hope they both get a unique transformation

Maybe there's gonna be mentions of Cell jrs in monster island like when Trunks and Goten might chit chat things from past like idk against some strong Android mentioning that they could fight hand to hand with "pseudos" Cell jrs

I really want goten and trunks to get ssj4. Like they discover that saiyans have tails and ask shenron for them. Then through some random climax both get it and we get ssj4 gotenks.

perfect premise: one of the cell jr’s are captured and used to remake cell max, then he goes out to pursue the other cell jr’s to absorb them and become perfect cell max, goten and trunks then canonically master ssj2 and fuse to defeat pcm (perfect cell max) with the help of piccolo, 17 & 18, gohan, and for once krillin, yamcha, tien, and chiatzou get to finally be useful and go to gather the dragon balls or something

Imagine if all those cell jr. fused like gotenks💀💀💀

I can't believe Cell Jrs were alive this entire time in Super manga than anime adaptation after Goten and Trunks stayed in the island as rangers during Tournament of Power 🤯

"Goten and trunks are gonna have some *VERY* important roles" the movie: Canon fodder.

TFS history of trunks abridged makes sense now & I thought that was just a throwaway line

The implication of an entire group of Cell Jrs are still alive and can easily grow up to be more Perfect Cells is terrifying

Good thing these little guys didn't decide to cause havoc once they regenerated. Imagine them springing on everyone right after Gohan collapses from his Kamehameha clash with Cell...

Piccolo chilling somewhere until he senses something awful: OH MY GOD! (Kami in his mind: Indeed!) Piccolo: Gohan, come here! Now! Gohan: What happened, Mister Piccolo? Piccolo: Kid, remember when you obliterated those annoying Cell Jrs? Gohan: *frowning* Aagh! Yeah yeah And I gues that I didn't end the job Piccolo: These pests are destroying Ginger Town We need your help Gohan: (embarrased) But I have an exam Piccolo: GODDA-

These Cell Juniors gonna hear the prowler theme when they meet Gohan

Wait that’s how 17 grew that strong, bro how do I keep finding this stuff out after arguing with someone, someone made the point that 17 grew stronger than Goku Black with less effort to downplay Goku Black’s growth, and this was basically why, bro i’m mad, that man was downplaying my boy and got away with it.

What the final text actually says, is that these cells could regenerate as long as their weren't 100% destroyed just like Cell. Gohan that day really just ripped them in two, didn't obliterated them. But they seemed exploded too so thats a weird retcom, but fun nonethless.

Imagine if they just grow up and we have 7 feral blue cells running around

Considering that the Cell Juniors survived all the way to the present day, it's implied that the Juniors themselves are not very evil since they might have been wiped out when Earth is destroyed during Buu Arc and restored along with anyone who is not purely evil

Wait they don't grow?

For not training a whole lot like gohan did when he was younger, its wild how they can handle multiple cell jrs at once only at SSJ

“So long as the cluster of cells in their head aren’t destroyed” I get that Piccolo followed the same rule, but how the Hell did Cell survive his entire top half being blown apart

Cell : you should’ve gone for the head

Hopefully we can one day see super perfect Cell Max

Wow I enjoyed that short story See this is what happens when u return an iconic character to ur new show = Fun.

Domesticated Cell Jr's sounds cool

Keeping up with 17 taught cell jr's just shows how impressive these two are So much potential

Very interesting how Cell Jrs would actually be still alive after all this time. And plus it's in the manga so it could be canon. Plus Android 17 is a better father to them than even Cell.

I’d love to have cell back as a chill guy who just kinda hangs out in the background

I would have loved a story about a cell Jr that had survived the Gohan vs cell moment and grew up to become a teal perfect cell

It’s kind of crazy that 7 super saiyan level beings were running around the earth in a group and not Goku, Piccolo, Vegeta or anyone else sensed them or even know they exist.

The fact that they hit trunks first had me weak 😂😂 goten just looking like ohh 👀 should I help

These actually prove that goten and trunks gotten stronger rather than weaker considering they could hold their own against cell junior who are ssj grade 4 level

The concept of a Cell Jr. surviving is very reminiscent of Piccolo's backstory, and the idea of a Cell Jr. learning to become kinder through discipline & experiences sounds pretty neat too - now, whether or not a Cell Jr. has the capability to grow up and look like Cell himself is another question altogether. In fact, that could be a good basis for a fanfic - "A surviving Cell Jr. survives Gohan's brutal attacks, grows and absorbs countless humans to become stronger as the years go on. By the time of Dragon Ball Super, he's absorbed nearly a million or more humans and his power level puts him well above Gohan's. After attempting to absorb Pan, and actually succeeding in absorbing Videl & Mr. Satan, Gohan goes animalistic and unleashes the SSJ4 transformation!" Now the details would need to be worked out a bit, but I feel like this could really be a good story here.

I swear I would take them to taking over the story and let goku and vegeta take a break they need to be in the spot light

Well this is cool, Vegeta Junior Junior is still alive

I think that was the unique foreshadowing that Toriyama did for the superhero movie with Cell Max and the Red Ribbon Army.

Huh... I always imagined that if they survived their battle with Gohan, the Cell Jr.s would have grown up by now. Or at least matured a bit.

maybe cell max is one of those cell juniors but mutated

I can imagine them all growing up and becoming a copies of their father

Bro why they so cute and humble mad respect for 17

I have a question for you. Do you believe that Goten and trunks are planetary level threats? Or do you believe they still have their super Saiyan forms but there's something like city to kingdom level threats?.

Wanna know what I wanna see... Cell jr's the same size and age of cell. Like a blue cell

Who else struggling between the dubs and TFS voices while reading the manga?

After so many years I find this out just now

Manga and anime(movies too) are different thanks for clarifying that

I love how the cell jr's even apologized after seeing the ranger bands

It’s funny how you said he tamed them

Bro it's actually crazy to think that there's still cell Jr's around

How did the Z-Fighters not feel these Cell Jrs energy all those years?

Cell: *regenerates in merely seconds* Cell Jrs: *Y E A R S* That's totally not some bad-written fanservice, who could even imagine that...

In my calculation, the Cell Jrs are approximately 1.6 billion in power level during the Cell saga, while Ssj Goten and Trunks are at least 1.7 billion each at the end of Z. This is actually interesting that it lines up with my power levels.

That sounds way more interesting than them just becoming pseudo Great Saiyaman clones.

Woah what?! That just changed everything…… Basically Gohan just isolated them temporarily

Can't wait to see my favorite chacter and trucks use that burning Kamehameha, it's cool to see how much they try to be like their dads

Yea the next manga arc😢😢

How the heck did i miss this

They probably gonna make this a flashback in the anime when the arc gets animated

Gohan sent them things to dust with 1 hit I clearly remember that scene in the anime what a retcon / smh

I like how cell jrs are basically good guys

So now we have it. (Sort of) Good Cell.

Why do all of Goku's kids end up looking like yamcha for half there screen time

I'm glad their starting to focus more on other characters besides Goku and Vegeta

Can we Goten fans really start a debate vote r something to dbz creator to see him with serious one on one fights and new forms .

Gohan: kills 8 out of 7 of them. Them: all 7 still kicking

Next movie title: Dragon Ball Super: Super Cell Returns IV

Aww That's actually really cute I want a fan comic of that

I would've taken a spin-off story following them. I just don't feel happy about waiting 4 months after an arc dedicated to answering who the strongest in U7 was to focusing on Goten & Trunks pulling a pre-Buu Saga Gohan. Would've been more interesting as a spin-off side manga cuz Dragon Ball doesn't have a lot of those. Only Jaco trying to find Baby Goku and a fan reborn ad Yamcha

I want to see those cell Jr's in the future, the fact they can take on goten and trunks in super saiyan is impressive by itself. Those cell Jr's have more potential than freiza 100%

Oh I never even thought about Cell Jr’s having the same “one cell regeneration” thing. They could very well have survived

this just confirms that Gotens and Trunks are both mastered super sayain form, so that's good but hopefully they both reach ssj2 individually

I want to see this in dragon ball season 2

Can we take a moment to talk about the fact that Trunks and Goten were able to keep up with the Cell jr’s

That means THIS CELL JR. training with 17 To achieve his POWER to rival an SSJ BLUE 😂

You know, manga wise. . .this does make sense, Gohan didn't vaporize any of them. Each of his blows splattered their brains everywhere, or they were cut in half.
