**Cell** is one of the 10 playable Villains in the Anime Villainous base game, The Battle Begins.

**Cell** (セル *Seru*) is the main antagonist of the overarching Cell Saga which makes up the ninth, tenth and eleventh arcs of the *Dragon Ball Z* series. He was voiced by Norio Wakamoto in the Japanese version, and Dameon Clarke in the English version.

Butterking was the lead designer for Cell.

## Villain Ability

When you enter Showdown, find and play Cell Games.

**Note:** Cell will not have this Ability or Strength at the beginning of the game due to his Form Tile, Imperfect Cell.

## Clarifications

* Kamehameha:
	+ After paying 6 Power, Cell may defeat two Heroes in any order, even if one of them only becomes defeatable after the second. However, if Goku is in Cell's Territory, he may not pay 6 Power to play Kamehameha to begin with.
* Perfect Barrier:
	+ Heroes played after playing Perfect Barrier also get -1 Strength so long as the turn has not ended.
