==Blurb==
The Cell Game
Now in his Perfect Form, Cell is stronger than any creature alive—even the muscled-out new form of the mighty Saiyans. Finding no competition on Earth, Cell invades a TV studio and gives the world an ultimatum: produce a fighter who can beat him in one-on-one combat, or he will methodically slaughter every living thing! But does the human race…or even the Saiyan race…have a champion who can go up against Cell? Plus the alternate-timeline story of Trunks' origin!
===Story===
 But even the androids didn't know they were only the advance guard for an even more terrifying enemy: Cell, a bioweapon who absorbed the hapless androids and mutated into the ultimate fighter! Realizing they were no match for Cell in their current condition, the heroes trained in the Room of Spirit and Time, where one year passes for every day outside. After a "year" of time-accelerated training, Vegeta and Trunks challenge Cell!
==Volume introduction by Akira Toriyama==
"As many of you can imagine, doing a weekly manga serial is very hard work. I've been doing a weekly serial for 13 years straight and it's beginning to wear me down physically and mentally. I never considered myself to be the kind of guy who had a lot of grit and willpower. So, thinking of myself and my family, I'm starting to think of ways to take it easy."
