Editing Cell Jr. (section)

=== Dragon Ball Z - Cell Saga ===
The Cell Juniors are created during the Cell Games when Cell seeks to provoke Gohan into unleashing his hidden potential. To do this, he commands the Cell Juniors to attack the Z Fighters, including [[Goku]], [[Vegeta]], [[Future Trunks]], [[Piccolo]], [[Krillin]], [[Tien]] Shinhan, and [[Yamcha]].

Each Cell Junior is incredibly powerful, comparable in strength to Super Saiyan Vegeta and Future Trunks. They overwhelm most of the Z Fighters without exerting their full power:

* Two Cell Juniors defeat Tien and Yamcha, with one breaking Yamcha's arm.
* Another two overpower Krillin and an exhausted Goku.
* Three fight Piccolo, Vegeta, and Future Trunks, causing significant damage and occasionally gaining the upper hand. One is even strong enough to catch Vegeta's Final Flash and throw it aside (this occurs in the anime's filler content).

However, when [[Gohan]] becomes enraged by the Cell Juniors' assault and Cell's killing of [[Android 16]], he transforms into a Super Saiyan 2, awakening his hidden power. In this form, Gohan effortlessly defeats all of the Cell Juniors with a few blows, shocking the Z Fighters and angering Cell. Before being defeated, one Cell Junior attempts to hold Krillin hostage to deter Gohan, but Gohan's speed in Super Saiyan 2 form allows him to save Krillin and defeat the Cell Junior before it can counterattack.
