Dragon Ball's Frieza and Cell close-up, on a starry backdrop
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Dragon Ball chronicled Goku's rise as the strongest being on planet Earth, and Toriyama felt it was only natural that the scope of his threats began to expand beyond Earth. Toriyama's reasoning for how he came up with Frieza and Cell provides some insight into how the two iconic villains came to be, and how they're both secretly connected by this theory of challenging Goku.
This led to the creation of the Frieza/Namek arc, where Goku would go up against the most vile force in the cosmos: a land developer. Frieza's inspiration from real estate developers is pretty obvious from his M.O.: wiping out all life on planets and then claiming them as his own, selling them to buyers at a high price. By "the bubble," Toriyama is referring to Japan's rapid economic growth and subsequent collapse in the 90's, a time when land prices reached insane levels in Japan.
In the interview, Toriyama continues, talking about Cell, "Since they had become the strongest in even the universe, they next had to surpass time. So with that I did time-travel stuff, but it was really rough." Therefore, Cell symbolically represents the future, the greatest challenge imaginable. With Cell's defeat, Goku and his friends had not only conquered space, but time as well, making them the ultimate champions of the universe.
