In Manga Chapter #31 of Dragon Ball Super, Android 17 says he knows about Goku because he could see and hear him while he was inside of Cell, So my question is (I don't know if this is dumb to ask or not) how did both android 17 and 18 survive Goku's instant Kamehameha when he fired it at Cell in close range during the cell games, shouldn't they have been dead from that moment and especially 18 who was spat out by cell after SSJ2 Gohan kicked him in the face.
is this considered an inconsistency ?

Toriyama prob thought no one would notice this or even give a fuck.
Gabriel Sullivan
They could hear but they’re sufficiently absorbed . It’s like how no matter wat, nobody who Buu absorbs gets harmed.
Nicholas Parker
u do realize this was before Buu was even created right? he ain't talking about buu he talking about Cell and Cell's absorption is different compared to Buu's.
Bentley Cook
Obviously once they integrated with Cell they regenerated with his damage. Duh.
Nolan James
instead of shrinking and being stored in a small pod like with buu, he actually merged with cell at a 1-to-1 ratio, like a transformer combining or some bullshit. so cell's arm was 17s arm, when it gets blown off, 17s arm is blown off. when cell regenerates, 17 regenerates. i just made this up on the spot.

U realize this is a children's comic right
Dylan Butler
It thats the case, why are you reading it?

they dodged to the parts of Cell's body that didn't get hit

Once Cell absorbs a victim they are ingested into his being as you would normally imagine.
When Gohan punched Cell so hard that he spat up 18 Cell's entire body was caused so much damage that it rejected his most recent mutation. Essentially, Cell's body reversed the absorption process and reassembled 18's body and rejected it due to the enormous strain and damage caused by Gohan.
If Cell's body had longer to "digest" (for lack of a better word) and fully absorb his new components it likely wouldn't have happened. Who knows how long it would have taken for Cell's system to fully and completely absorb 18 to the point of assimilating him into his system fully. The fact that 17 was self-aware in some capacity proves that Cell never completely absorbed his prey.
But, to restate and reiterate things, Cell disassembles what he absorbs and combines it into his biological make-up. He did this to absorb 17 and 18 in particular. Him spitting 18 up was his body reversing the disassembly process and literally reassembling 18 due to the severe damage to his system and rejecting her.

Toriyama is a hack, that's how.
Henry Murphy
Are you fucking retarded? Perfect (and semiperfect) Cell was a FUSION. A forced one, but still a fusion, Cell body had 17 and 18 inside him, so if he can regenerate his entire system he can regenerate the 17 and 18's parts that are fused into his body. Asking why they can defuse unharmed is like asking why Cell gets unharmed after being injured as well. It's regeneration for the entire entity that Cell+17+18 was. In fact this is what makes no sense since Buu's absorptions weren't fused like that but minitiaruzed and sealed into a cocoon that takes their abilities and physical traits.

Simple, Super isn't canon.

So if there disassembled and reassembled(They are effectively enhanced humans) that means the 17 and 18 who were absorbed are effectively dead.
The 17 and 18 who are good are completely different entities which explains the personality switch. Toriyama you madman.
Jonathan Mitchell
Does Toriyama have a thing for vore? Two main villains revolved around it and I think a bunch of dinosaurs and fish and shit tried to eat various characters over the years.
Robert Jones
They get regenerated along with him. They're like organs to him. Casual reminder that Buu's candy victims are conscious. Little Marron got gobbled up by the bad man who ate her daddy, and was totally conscious of her nightmarish death. Same for Videl, Bulma, Roshi, 18, and everybody else Buu ate.
Michael Hall
That's kind of hot
Brody Bell
no because there is zero doubt in dragonball that the seat of consciousness is the soul, and as seen in the buu arc with piccolo being turned into stone and then getting shattered, being transformed and broken apart doesn't cause the soul to pass onto the afterlife.
Ryan Wood
They were stored in his legs.
Jose Roberts
GT isn’t canon either. Nothing has been canon ever since 1995.
