Warning! Spoilers for Dragon Ball Super lie below!

If you have been keeping up with Dragon Ball Super, you know the anime series is about to kick into some crazy action. The 'Universal Survival' arc started back in February, and the shows upcoming episodes will get Goku's team ready to fight. With new characters and villains being introduced each episode, Dragon Ball fans are already looking forward to what is to come. Apparently fans on Reddit have found information a new character in the source code, and the fighter seems eerily similar to Cell.

The new character is apparently named Damon, and there is even a description of the new upcoming fighter. A user on Reddit posted the leak information here, and can Damon is described as the following,

Utilizes dodging techniques. Will vanish and then appear in the sky or from the ground. Uses a self-destruct technique. Waits for his opponent to attack, then tries to counter with that technique. Dodges by shedding his skin and leaving his empty husk behind. A cicada.* Insect warrior.

[空蝉 can mean a cicada, a cicada's empty husk, or a "person living in this world". That last meaning there is a metaphorical description of us humans as being just as transient as cicadas, so them using this term for an actual insect warrior might be a joke, like calling Vegeta a "monkey's uncle".]

According to the description, it looks like Damon is a bug-like creature, who can shed his skin. This sounds a lot like the infamous Android, Cell. If this new character is like Cell, this could mean that he could have different forms, similar to Cell's Perfect forms. However, there is no signs that this new guy has any affiliations to the Androids. Fans will just have to wait and see what is to come from the mysterious Damon.
