Description Here's a little pixel art animation I made.

The story behind this is that I honestly am really fond of what-if situations. I simply love the idea that some events could have a different outcome, which could be for the better or worse for the good guys doesn't matter.

In Dragon Ball Z, Cell has used Trunks' time machine to move back in time to absorb the androids #17 and #18 as we all know. But what if Cell, by accident, hits the wrong button and moves to a totally different time? At the time this animation starts, Cell has already encountered and absorbed Android 17 for his Semi-Perfect state. But then he encounters my OC Brachi and mistakes her for Android 18 due to Brachi having #18's hairstyle (Cell thinks that #18 may have dyed her hair, but he is, apparently, not fooled by this). Despite Brachi's protests, Cell manages to catch Brachi off-guard and absorbs her, becoming complete with a slight twist at the end.

This is also the first time I've attempted something like this and I feel it's quite a neat difference than my usual sprite animations.

I know that there are people out there who enjoy Cell absorbing people other than the Androids. That's completely fine by me; we all have our tastes and everything; however, this animation was initially meant as a WHAT-IF situation and was meant NOT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. With recent events (see below), I felt that I simply didn't do a good job at it.

MAJOR UPDATE!

Due to some prick having stolen and edited my animation without my consent and uploaded it on YouTube (which is now removed after a successful DMCA-claim by yours truly), I've decided to change the animation and make a 'TRUE' ending to this. It serves those people who enjoyed the first version in a 'different way' right for misinterpreting my INITIAL intention of making this animation.

That Cell has become many times stronger than what he expected.

The main change will be an enormous power boost for Cell.

RT912 In reply to giantstorylover [2012-08-04 07:50:13 +0000 UTC]

Struggling, as she is actually not digested. I personally believe that anyone absorbed by Cell is somehow 'merged' with him; their bodies are held in suspension within the beast while being unconscious, while Cell is using their energy and power for his own ends.

I figured Cell would tell the difference between Brachi and Android 18. Thena again, I think part of Brachi comes from Android 18 so it would make sense. Love this animation

mmm.. he keeps looking than as he absorbed android 18.
But if Brachi is a fusion of so many characters in one fusion...
wont me.. explode of the power? or at least look diffrent?

RT912 In reply to Carameja [2011-06-07 18:17:56 +0000 UTC]

The only difference I did implement is actually remove the 'spots' over his green exoskeleton, which, combined with the lighter shade, gives it a more metallic-like shade.

Carameja In reply to RT912 [2011-06-07 18:20:50 +0000 UTC]

yeah, but still!
Brachi excistes out of so many powerfull characters..
And Cell can Handle it?

Cell couldn't even handle a 12 year old boy as a super saiyan 2!
So how can he handle Brachi?

I did had a favourite part tho!
The inside of Cell that you see Brachi still fighting and than give up and than how the power flows through Cell.
very nice work tho!

RT912 In reply to Carameja [2011-06-07 18:25:37 +0000 UTC]

I think that Cell could be able to handle it if he would prepare himself for it properly, perhaps feeding on people while continuing the search for #18. If Cell had been weak enough however, it would be possible that Brachi would force herself a way out (like Goku forced his way out of Cell's body in Dragon Ball GT).

And thanks for the comment by the way; it was a personal idea of mine to see what would happen to an absorbed person inside Cell's body.

Carameja In reply to RT912 [2011-06-07 18:47:02 +0000 UTC]

I dont think Cell could BE prepared for something like that...
If he couldn't even defeat a "Kamehameha" from a 12 year old boy in super saiyan 2..
And if you take Brachi next to this 12 year super saiyan 2 boy..
Brachi is WAY powerfuller than the super saiyan two, because if I have to get Brachi clear.. She is a being of very powerfull people right? How can Cell prepare himself on that? How can he Handle such a power if he couldnt even handle super saiyan 2.

You know, I see your point completely as justified. It could be a dream too good to be true... after all, the entire animation was a simple experiment in using a different style of animating.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Carameja In reply to RT912 [2011-06-08 09:42:20 +0000 UTC]

yes thats why I said it.
I mean, its just not logic that cell can handle it while she has such a great power and stuff and he couldnt handle gohan.

yet I do like the simple experiment you did with this.
I do like the idea of trying a diffrent style of animation.

I wish I could do animations

RT912 In reply to Carameja [2011-06-08 09:56:33 +0000 UTC]

Heh, I just like to try something different.

Lately I've been trying to make some more variations in the backgrounds regarding my sprite animation series.

You need of course the right programs to make animations. I completely learned to make animations by myself (self-exploration/self-teaching is that term, I believe). At first I was kinda slacky with my normal animation series, but as I got more familiar with animating, improving myself over the course of the time, I decided at one point to completely remake the older episodes in order to put my newly gained skills to practice. And at one point, I simply decided to try a new style, which created the pixel art animation as seen here.

pixel art animation?
So with otherwords.. you make this all in paint and put them after eachother in a some kind of play program?
Or is it a special animation program you use? So yes what is it called?

If that Cell dealing with my OC Xhon, he probably gonna experience a defeat that he will never accept

Why?
>Xhon feel more comfortable when he know his opponent far stronger than him as he became even more cunning and depend on the power of mind(Tactic, Strategy, Cheatingness).
>His Innocent Zero burn soul that has even slightest sin, it weakened physic as well and the damage is depend on his opponent's deed. It also can disable Cell's regenation as it damages soul.
>Cell probably faster than Xhon by now but Xhon can bend time and space. He can make even Cell's Most powerfull Kamehameha hit Cell himself with his space bending ability.
>Xhon also have ability to sense like most of DBZ character, but he focusely use it to predict opponent movement (Like Goku's first training at Kami's palace with Mr. Popo)
>Xhon probably disrespecting Cell which gave him no reason to hold back (Xhon hold back if he respect his opponent)
>Xhon's power may weaker but his power have conditional rule example : "Deal 200% more damage againts God opponent, etc"
>Cell probably proud of his power and self-proclaimed as the strongest by now which a defeat by such inferior like Xhon who have weaker power, slower movement would humiliate himself.
>Lastly. One of Xhon's Philosophy say "Those who have greater power shall be consumed, distracted, seduced by the power itself, forgeting the magnificent, brilliance of the power of mind. Even I as a tactician can get distracted by the power themselves" (Which mean Xhon ever experience defeat by inferiors that proves that his philosophy is right)


Nice animation anyway, I wish I do that too oneday

Would Xhon also be able to free an absorbed person in case his opponent (like Cell) has used that person to achieve his current level of power?

And thanks for the comment.

DerristhinoSavior In reply to RT912 [2011-06-06 07:42:39 +0000 UTC]

Hmmm, let see maybe no since he'd hurt Cell's soul more than his physic (Xhon's not that perfect after all) but he can if he work together with Xenest. He probably gonna ask for information of how to free them and then make a strategy that took teamwork. If he and Xenest work together, Xhon would weakened Cell's power while Xenest do a physical damage that might force Cell to spit'em out.

My other OC named Sorrow can though. The true antagonist of my story.

RT912 In reply to DerristhinoSavior [2011-06-06 08:06:00 +0000 UTC]

Maybe we should make a collaboration story on that involving such a situation. Brachi happens to be Xenest's girlfriend, and he would stop at nothing in order to get her back, even though he knows that if he went by himself, Cell would quickly dispose of him. Xenest would allow Xhon to do whatever he wanted to Cell, as long as he gets Brachi back.

I'm such a romantic with drama at times.
