When Cell shows up in Dragonball Z, during the Cell saga, he goes from town to town and absorbs all their people, growing stronger while searching for the androids. Piccolo arrives to stop him, but Cell proves fairly matched and manages to injure one of Piccolo's arms. He is then convinced to explain his origin to Piccolo, giving Piccolo time to regerate his arm. Seeing his mistake, Cell takes off again and continues traveling to towns, absorbing everyone while Piccolo and the others chase him, but he manages to stay one step ahead of them. When he senses Piccolo powering up far away, he realizes that Piccolo is fighting the androids and races to the scene.

When Cell arrives, he has to defeat Piccolo who has started defending the androids, then squares off against Android #16, who is strong enough to actually be beating Cell, but Cell slips away for just a moment and absorbs Android #17, bringing him partway to perfect and carrying his power to a point where Android #16 can't touch him, and he promptly defeats Andriod #16. Android #18 escapes briefly, but Cell chases her down. Vegeta and Trunks arrive to stop him, but Cell defeats them both and absorbs Android #18, becoming perfect. He then issues a challenge, the Cell Game, in which he offers to fight against every warrior on earth. If no can defeat him, he gets to destroy the world.

The first fighter in the Cell Game is just a joke, Mr. Satan, and Cell fells him in a single blow. Cell fights Goku next and the fight is extremely even with neither fighter winning or losing. Goku calls a halt, asking Gohan to take his place and giving Cell a senzu bean, explaining that Gohan can become very powerful when he is angry. Cell is intrigued and tries to incite Gohan into a fury, but Gohan remains very calm and just gets beaten. Android #16 then arrives and says that he will self destruct, but his self destruct mechanism has been removed and Cell just laughs at him, then blasts him to pieces. Bored with the fight, Cell creates the Cell Jrs. out of his own body and sends them to attack all Gohan's friends. Gohan defeats the Cell Jrs., but he still isn't angry. Then Cell sees Gohan talking to Andriod #16's disembodied head and Cell blasts the head into dust, which finally sends Gohan over the edge.

Gohan, as a Super Saiya-jin Level 2 now, really lays into Cell and Cell is hit so hard that Android #18 flies out of his body, causing him to revert to his semiperfect form. Seeing that he can't win now, Cell starts his own self destruct mechanism but Goku grabs him and they teleport to King Kaio's planet where Cell explodes. Back on earth, the fight isn't over because Cell regenerates in perfect form, expaining that a single brain cell was left on earth and he could regrow his body from the DNA of that Cell. He fights Gohan again, and they begin an endurance battle, shooting Kamehameha back and forth, when Vegeta jumps up and throws some fireballs at Cell from the side, distracting him just long enough for Gohan to land a giant Kamehameha that destorys Cell for good. Cell makes a few more appearnaces in the remainder of the series, misbehaving in the afterlife, but he is always easily defeated.
