In 2022’s Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, Gohan and Piccolo both attained new transformations: Gohan achieved a powerful “Beast Mode,” and Piccolo unlocked an “Orange Piccolo” form that significantly increased his strength. In the film’s climax, they teamed up to battle Cell Max. Recent fanart on social media imagines an alternate scenario where Perfect Cell Max faces off against Orange Piccolo in a visually striking way.
On Instagram, artist Kakeru (@DBSKAKERU1) is known for creating original Dragon Ball scenarios and illustrating them with a style reminiscent of Akira Toriyama’s. Kakeru has previously depicted scenes such as Broly achieving Super Saiyan Blue, Trunks ascending as the Prince of all Saiyans, and Beast Gohan fighting a perfected version of Cell Max. This new artwork continues to showcase Kakeru’s skill in crafting high-quality Dragon Ball fanart.
Orange Piccolo Faces Off Against Perfect Cell in Striking Fanart
In Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, the focus shifted from Goku and Vegeta to a revitalized Gohan and a nurturing Piccolo as they battle against a resurrected Semi-Perfect Cell and the remnants of the Red Ribbon Army. In the film’s climactic battle, an enhanced Orange Piccolo squares off against Cell Max, ultimately aiding Beast Gohan in defeating the villain. Despite the excitement of this finale, many fans wished for a confrontation with Perfect Cell instead. Kakeru’s fanart brilliantly captures this alternate scenario.
In Kakeru’s artwork, Perfect Cell replaces Semi-Perfect Cell, portrayed with the accurate red, green, purple, and black color scheme from the movie. The fanart features Cell with a distinctive, club-like tail emitting steam. The scene dramatically depicts Cell triumphantly holding a defeated, armless Piccolo, evoking the same intensity as Cell Max’s confrontation with Orange Piccolo in the film. This portrayal has resonated with fans, who wish they had seen Perfect Cell in such a dynamic role on screen.
Dragon Ball Fanart Shows Perfect Cell Max Overpowering Orange Piccolo
Kakeru (@DBSKAKERU1) has previously shared fanart depicting Gohan and Piccolo battling against Perfect Cell Max. The latest piece in this series imagines a dramatic scenario where Cell Max overpowers Orange Piccolo. Although the official Dragon Ball Super series hasn’t yet explored where Piccolo’s new transformation will go, this fanart underscores the need for Piccolo to stay prepared in case a powerful foe like Perfect Cell Max returns.
