Recently, a Reddit user known as /PMatty73 shared fan art created by Indonesian artist adb3388 (ade.bw_ on Instagram), bringing a new perspective to the villain Cell Max from the film “Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero”. The work reimagines Cell Max, originally almost identical to Cell from “Dragon Ball Z”, in a more advanced form and similar to the bio-android’s Semi-Perfect state. Furthermore, the illustration proposes a version of Cell Max with improved physical and intellectual characteristics, differentiating himself from the brutish and less sophisticated character presented in the film.
The artist adb3388 was not limited to a single work. He also drew Perfect Cell Max facing off against adult Gohan in his Beast form, and a scene depicting the cast of “Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero” in a style reminiscent of a fighting game vs. video game. These illustrations highlight the Dragon Ball franchise’s connection to the fighting game genre, a familiar element to fans of the series.

Speaking of games, the famous fighting game series “Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi” is about to be revived with the release of “Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero”, marking the end of a hiatus of more than 15 years. There was a buzz among fans, including a false leak on social media about the game’s release date, which was quickly debunked.
In the field of animation, the franchise is expanding with “Dragon Ball Daima”, a series that appears to pay homage to “Dragon Ball GT” by rejuvenating iconic characters like Goku. Furthermore, the English release of the manga “Dragon Ball Super” generated discussions and controversies due to an alleged translation error in Gohan’s fight against Cell Max. Interestingly, a fan celebrated the 2024 Year of the Dragon with a creative and economical cosplay of Shenron, the series’ immortal dragon.
Accessibility of the Dragon Ball Series
For Dragon Ball enthusiasts, both the TV series and anime films, including “Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero,” are available for streaming on Crunchyroll. The manga is distributed in English by VIZ Media, ensuring easy access to fans of the series around the world.
