Trivia
Behind the scenesThe editor didn't like the androids
Torishima wasn't happy with the first androids, 19 and 20, as villains. That pushed Toriyama to create Cell.
Editor Yū Kondō thought Cell was ugly. Toriyama hadn't planned for him to transform and added it in response. Kondō also found the second form silly and pushed for the next one.
No spoilersThe easter eggs give away parts of the title. They open once you mark it as seen.
