Goku a jeté l'éponge et cédé sa place à Gohan, le seul guerrier capable de venir à bout de Cell, selon lui. Il faut absolument que celui-ci se mette en colère pour libérer sa puissance latente. Mais le naturel pacifique de Gohan l’empêche de laisser exploser sa rage. Cell décide donc de s'en prendre à ses amis et de les torturer, sous les yeux horrifiés du jeune garçon…
Akira Toriyama (鳥山明) was a Japanese manga artist and character designer. He first achieved mainstream recognition for creating the popular manga series Dr. Slump, before going on to create Dragon Ball (his most famous work) and acting as a character designer for several popular video games such as the Dragon Quest series, Chrono Trigger, and Blue Dragon. Toriyama came to be regarded as one of the most important authors in the history of manga with his works highly influential and popular, particularly Dragon Ball, which many manga artists cite as a source of inspiration. He earned the 1981 Shogakukan Manga Award for best shōnen/shōjo manga with Dr. Slump, and it went on to sell over 35 million copies in Japan. It was adapted into a successful anime series, with a second anime created in 1997, 13 years after the manga ended. His next series, Dragon Ball, would become one of the most popular and successful manga in the world. Having sold 260 million copies worldwide, it is one of the best-selling manga series of all time and is considered a key work in increasing manga circulation to its peak in the mid-1980s and mid-1990s. Overseas, Dragon Ball's anime adaptations have been more successful than the manga and are credited with boosting anime's popularity in the Western world. In 2019, Toriyama was decorated a Chevalier of the French Ordre des Arts et des Lettres for his contributions to the arts. In October 2024, Toriyama was inducted into the Harvey Awards Hall of Fame.
Un tome que j'ai largement préféré au précédent ! Un volume vraiment rempli de thématiques variées et diverses (la perte d'un proche, la question de la mémoire, la passation d'un héritage), avec de très bons combats notamment le passage du kamé hamé ha avec Son Goku en fondu sur Gohan était une planche hyper impactante ! J'ai bien aimé également tout le passage avec Trunks dans le futur (c'est la première itération et incartade dans cet espace spatio-temporel) mais j'ai malheureusement trouvé le tout bien trop rapide. Cela faisait un rendu assez brouillon, confus pour l'entièreté du tome qui traite de plein de sujets à la fois mais très en surface ce qui est assez frustrant.

La saga di Cell è la mia preferita di tutto Dragonball. Certo, c'è l'errore più grande (il ritorno di Cell dopo l'esplosione sembra molto forzato, ma quello si può anche accettare; la cosa davvero grave è la spiegazione del nucleo nella testa, che entra in conflitto con una sua rigenerazione dello scorso volume dove gli era stata distrutta la testa) e lo scontro non è il più bello della serie (il mio preferito penso rimanga Goku contro il Grande Demone Piccolo). Però poi ci sono l'entrata in scena di Cell, gli sviluppi dei personaggi di Gohan e di Vegeta, l'ultima onda Kamehame, la conclusione di Goku... e Gohan Super Saiyan 2 è forse il momento più epico di tutta la serie.
