| Takeda: You mean you didn't plan to send Cell? Toriyama: That's right. I liked 19 and 20. Later I ended up liking 1st Stage Cell. Takeda: That bug? You liked that bug? Toriyama: Then Kondo said, "He looks okay, but of course he can change". So we decided to change him to a second form. Kondo: Really? I don't remember that. Toriyama: After that, Kondo was terribly mean. He said, "This time, Cell looks stupid. Why not make him Perfect?” Kondo: Well, it looked...really stupid! (Laughs) Toriyama: Second stage, I liked that, and I wanted him to have more time, but we had no choice but to change him. So we made a Perfect Cell, which Kondo liked. * Theses three sagas were the original Dragon Ball adventure, the training for the 21st Tenkaichi Budoukai and the 21st Tenakaichi Budoukai. ** Manga designed for girls' tastes. |
