Recently, the Dragon Ball community has once again been stirred up by a meme regarding the Cell Games Arena, sparking numerous discussions and theories across social media.
For those looking to understand more, there is a structure created by Cell through his own hands (or more accurately, a strong structure made by him) from a cube of cubic blocks, all intended to serve one purpose: to challenge Cell.
However, this is just the fourth part, during the battle with Goku, Cell realizes that the battlefield is too appealing and thus, does not hesitate to transform it into a powerful structure to ensure that the fight can take place without any “outside the arena” rules.

Returning to the circulating meme, it’s interesting that anyone who has observed the structure closely leads to a plethora of discussions mainly about Cell’s “geometry.” When looking at the diagrams illustrated by Akira Toriyama in chapter 389, we can see that there are some inconsistencies.
In the first frame, a cubic structure is created from blocks of varying sizes, with a volume of 4 × 4 × 7 = 112, showing that the cubic structure has a total of 112 smaller blocks. After that, Cell uses his strength to manipulate the cubic structure in midair.
The second frame shows a grid of 10 × 10 = 100 squares, raising the question “Are 12 squares missing here?” Cell is bewildered and seems to be perplexed about the inconsistencies of these combined structures.

What’s most incredible about this discussion is that although it appears in a humorous way, it ultimately reveals the deep emotional side of the character Cell, one of the most iconic figures in anime history. Dragon Ball Z has been around for many years, but its impact remains strong, and memes like this demonstrate that!
Below is a summary of the discussions among Dragon Ball fans regarding this topic:
– Surely, the volume of 2 x 2 x 3 = 12 is empty.
– He probably just needs to move them around.
– The combined structures likely contain some errors.
– The only one who lost the match when leaving the arena at Cell Games was Mr. Satan.
– I am sure those who are concerned about the details will worry about this.
– Shouldn’t Cell have composed the 12 cubic blocks as well?
