The Perfection Body: Power Emphasis Form is a transformation unique to Cell. Similar to the Super Saiyan Third Grade in every aspect, it is a forced increase to the power output of the original Developed Form.
Appearance[]
In this state, Cell retains the same appearance as he does in his standard Developed Form. However, by contrast, the muscles inflate tremendously, giving Cell the appearance of a bodybuilder. The ki aura that surrounds Cell also becomes far more active and violent.
Attributes[]

—Trunks remarking on Cell's Power Emphasis Form, Chapter 411 | ||
The form bears the same identical traits to the Super Saiyan Third Grade. In this state, it buffs up Cell's appearance tremendously, and his combat strength skyrockets. However, the form has the Third Grade's same immense drawbacks; due to the increase muscle mass, this form severely drops the user's speed, making it difficult to catch an opponent. Cell openly used the form to mock Trunks' decision to use his own variation, calling it a form that only gives the user "brute strength", and that anyone could perform it with ease.[1][2] When Cell used it against Super Saiyan 2 Son Gohan, he was unable to even touch the boy, despite powering up tremendously, proving its flaws.[3]

- ↑ Cell is also capable of the same transformation!?
Cell was startled when he saw Trunks transform into Grade Three. But the truth is that Cell himself is also capable of this power up! However, he realized that a transformation that relied on power was meaningless. He therefore tried to avoid using it.
