So I was just re-watching the episode of DBZ where Cell gets introduced and since he's a product of the genetic make up of some of the universe's strongest fighters, and those fighters included a few pure-bred saiyans, I thought to myself "why can't cell go super saiayn?". Obviously it has nothing to do with how much saiyan you have in you since Gohan, Goten, and Trunks can all go super saiyan and they're only half-saiyans. Even Goku Jr, at the end of GT, was able to become super saiyan and thanks to some simple math I was able to calculate he's only 1.56% saiyan. He barely even qualifies as a saiyan and yet he's able to go super saiyan. Cell is 44.4% saiyan (Roughly) when you take into account the genetic material he has from Gohan, Goku, Vegeta, and Nappa then Cell has more than enough saiyan blood to not only be considered a saiyan but to also become super saiyan.
[spoiler]NOTE: I'm assuming Dr. Gero got samples of at least 11.1% genetic material from all 9 of the warriors cell is made out of. Even if there are more warriors, or he didn't balance out the percentages Cell would still only need 1% saiyan to become super saiyan. And with genetics from four Saiyans I'd say that he has the down[/spoiler]
You know, maybe it's the hair. All saiyans have had silly hair before becoming super saiyan, so maybe that's a requirement. And cell doesn't have any hair making it impossible for him to go super saiyan. Or maybe he can go super saiyan he was just never pushed to do so, like everyone else was. He might [i]be[/i] able to but can't due to lack of knowledge on how.
Anyway, I guess what I'm wondering is [b]could[/b] cell become a super saiyan. In theory it seems like he should, and it also seems like one of those things that would've come up before now. Maybe it has and I haven't noticed. If there is an explanation, I haven't seen it. Then again I don't know everything about DBZ, not even close. So anyway what do you guys think?
