In Dragon Ball, Number 16 must never be sent to the battlefield!

Wh-… 16 is it…!? I don’t know anything about 16…!! Don’t touch it, 18! Don’t you dare!! Go ahead and try moving it, 18. Seems interesting. No… this is bad!! Stop…!! Do you want to destroy this world itself…!! 16 is a prototype and a failure!! You absolutely must not move it!!! I heard they disposed of up to 15, but despite being a failure, it’s still around, huh? W-Well… I was planning to remake it eventually. Anyway, don’t move it; the prototype could end up strangling us!!

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx34

I’m really anxious.

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Is this based on imitating my son?

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx53

If you’re imitating your son, it’s a compelling reason not to want to break it.

16: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx12

>>3

At this point, it has an abnormal level of performance that cannot possibly break.

For some reason, they have a self-destruct bomb hidden in that.

4: Japan Otaku Reviews

But it has a self-destruct device installed…

5: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx16

There’s no need to worry about destroying the world at all…

6: Japan Otaku Reviews

A failed creation that only targets Son Goku.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>6

I glare at the target in front of me, thinking I was created to kill you, but since I prioritize Earth’s peace without causing any harm, I am undoubtedly a failure.

7: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx58

An embarrassing black history created with a surprisingly human emotion.

13: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>7

I don’t want to break it…

9: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx12

The output is about the same as Cell Second at this point, so I guess I don’t want to release it.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s nice that despite having so much affection for his family, even going so far as to create artificial humans resembling his deceased eldest son and daughter-in-law, the only one he is disliked by is his surviving second son, Hed.

11: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if they hadn’t decided whether to make Cell or someone else the final boss?

12: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

What do you think, Senbei-san?

15: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wanted to ask what you were trying to do around here.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the anime, characters 13 to 15 appear, but what were the lines like here?

19: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx29

>>17

Movies are generally treated as parallel and don’t consider consistency, so it doesn’t change.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews

Your son’s hairstyle is amazing!

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

It was only hinted at a little in the explanation of the cover illustration.

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

You’re talking like Zhao Kuo’s mother.

22: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx11

Although there were some defects, it is said that numbers 13 to 15 were well-made, and that is also established in the original work.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if they thought that since he is the son, he would be able to defeat Son Goku and gave him the mission.

24: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Numbers 17 and 18 have gotten too long, haven’t they?

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

Hacchan gets really strong starting from the next, next, next one.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

I tried making it based on my son, but because I gave it a good personality, it turned out to be somewhat lacking as a counterpart for eliminating Goku.

Moreover, I don’t want to make them kill each other, so I sealed the existence that has the same face as my son.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

Most of the androids over here are good, except for Android 19.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

“Is the vomit of No. 20 a good thing?”

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

Number 19 was just fighting against the devil-like aliens that attacked Earth, so they might be a good guy after all.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>30

I don’t think it’s a good thing that they’re attacking the city to draw out Goku…

31: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

It’s sad that number 16 was destroyed, but even if he survived, he would end up dying from the fight with Buu anyway…

32: Japan Otaku Reviews

The way of setting up a joke like the Dacho Club.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

He doesn’t resemble my son at all and it’s frustrating, but I can’t get rid of him.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews

As for the grandchild,

36: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>34

I think it might be one of the motifs that you want to see.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>36

I feel like he resembles Schwarzenegger… It’s lonely that he doesn’t interact much with Trunks.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the end, why was Trunks not recognized in the future he originally came from…?

39: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>37

Nothing has been revealed.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews

Number 19 has both intelligence and violence, so if the timing is just right, it seems like it could betray.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder what Toriyama-sensei was thinking when he released number 16.

It’s too calm and nice to be a final boss candidate, but I wonder if they were thinking of a story where it fights Goku in a battle to the death.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems that it was officially stated for the first time in a media outlet that he is my son in Super Zero.

I can only say that it seems like I don’t know anything before Super Zero.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s so puzzling why they were so devoted to the Red Ribbon Army.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>44

Isn’t it more resentment towards Goku for crashing the sponsor rather than a sense of obligation?

98: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>44

Perhaps it’s because Gero himself was essentially the top or one of the founding members…

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

The technology of incorporating the reactor from movies 13 to 15, which can be seen as a Trinity, connects to Cell’s power-up.

They were properly trying to carry out the job of erasing Son Goku.

It’s unclear why it’s regarded as a failure.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>45

It didn’t start up as scheduled.

I don’t quite remember the movie, but I feel like it started in a weird way.

47: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx15

Even though it’s 100% machine, it’s so high-performance that it can give Gohan advice from the heart.

I love nature and living things, but I can make rational decisions that would use bombs that could destroy half the Earth to defeat Cells.

To me, the 16th model only looks like a great success.

51: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx11

>>47

When I’m told to do something bad, I refuse, so it’s no good.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>51

This probably means that if I create a bad android, it won’t listen and will be useless…

77: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

>>72

Even if the performance is sufficient, if you’ve struggled with control for a long time, then even though Unit 19 may have lower performance, it might have been quite a successful project in terms of response, at least in a certain sense.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are parts around the Android Saga that seem to have changed from the initial concept.

61: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>48

Is this a humanoid robot I don’t know!? Or is something gross from the future coming!? I quite like that aspect as horror.

I think it’s the weekly live feeling, but I believe it’s having a positive effect.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>61

In addition to this area, I love the Android saga the most because of Gohan’s awakening coolness.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>48

Even when reading normally, you can feel it, but when I hear the conversation with the editor, they mention that having the 20th issue be the final boss seems lame, so I wonder how much it has changed.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if the person creating it was in a high spirits, thinking they could even put bombs in the android modeled after their son.

I tried moving it, but it’s really impossible… I guess I’ll seal it…

52: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

At that point, they were overwhelmingly the strongest and wouldn’t listen, so of course, it was too scary for Gero.

53: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

The specs themselves were already more than enough with version 16, so it just needed some improvements after that.

After temporarily sealing No. 16, it became clear that an external unit in the form of a living being was needed for Cell, so I decided to focus on creating that for the time being.

When I finished, my body reached its limit, so I made Number 19 with some leftover parts and started making Number 20.

I thought, “Isn’t it possible to go with 19 and 20?” so I feel like it’s time to set out.

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>53

Planning!

56: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx13

>>55

Since it was made with the assumed strength during the Saiyan invasion, it’s only natural to be overly confident.

127: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>56

I can tell that it became significantly stronger due to an incredible breakthrough.

Too strong against the expected fighting strength.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s just that I happened to travel closely with 17 and 18, so I grew up healthy, but if I had been used by the RR Army, there was a possibility I would have tried to destroy humanity even more than Cell.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

The 16th version I made earlier is too strong, and if he turns out to have the same terrible personality as before, it could really lead to the destruction of the world, right?

It seems that I am listening to the order to eliminate Goku, even with this personality, so I probably won’t disobey it.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

Maybe Number 16 hasn’t been revived by Shenron after the Cell Games, right?

I don’t know if it’s because I’m not human or because I’m stronger than Shenron.

By the way, if it’s not based on humans and is stronger than Shenron, could it be that there’s no way to revive?

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>58

If they are geniuses outside of the establishment, they might not just be able to replicate No. 16 as is, but could possibly transfer memories and recreate it.

74: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>58

It’s a personal interpretation, but I feel that if it’s completely mechanical, it lacks a soul altogether.

The resurrection of Shenron is a way of calling a soul from the afterlife back to this world.

Robots do not have a soul, so they cannot be brought back and probably do not exist in the afterlife either.

82: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>74

When Buu blew up the Earth and it was restored, Hatchan and Androids 17 and 18 were revived.

Maybe I just haven’t thought deeply about it.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

Number 16 probably failed because it doesn’t listen to what Gero says.

Numbers 17 and 18 are the same.

60: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>59

Was there an android other than Number 19 that listened to you?

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>60

Completely stopped listening and failed.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

A failed creation of a gentle heart has already been done in number 8, so don’t keep repeating the same thing.

65: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I don’t have Dragon Ball on hand right now to check, but at first, in Trunks’ future, didn’t number 17 and 18 from the past become 19 and 20?

104: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>65

They said it was Number 19 and Number 20 causing a ruckus in the future.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

It might be that the guard robot, which understands human emotions, couldn’t be used for bad things…

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it only Number 16 who is a named character that clearly exited due to death and wasn’t a bad guy?

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

Grandpa’s grandson Gohan, or something like that.

73: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought GT’s Gero was the repaired Android 16 from the preview.

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if Arale-chan has a soul too…

Well then, does that mean it was destroyed when the Earth was destroyed and that’s it…?

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

The line about planning to rebuild it someday feels real.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

A human killed by Cell wishing for Shenron! It seems like it would be okay if we individually mentioned 16 and Arale like that.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you wish to rebuild No. 16, won’t it get fixed?

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

There was a theory that the people of Penguin Village aren’t actually dead, which I heard somewhere was said by Toriyama-sensei.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

Once awakened to justice from conscience, it may truly lead to physically choking someone.

83: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Since everything except the creatures blown away by Buu on Earth has been fixed, the robot should probably be okay too.

84: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The descendant was a genius.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

At the stage where it was raw vomit, it was somewhat crazy.

When I transformed myself into No. 20, I might have been tuned up quite well.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

He looks just like his son, but their personalities probably don’t match at all.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

The week after the face of Number 17 was revealed, there was already a thread image.

Maybe the cell hasn’t been decided yet, and this guy was progressing as a candidate for the final boss?

88: Japan Otaku Reviews

The editing is terrible, isn’t it? It’s like they’re just messing around with an old man or a kid.

89: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

During the time of Buu, there was a revival and restoring the Earth, so I think the complete robot was revived by restoring the Earth.

A wish aimed at those who were killed at the time of the cell.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews

The No. 21 was reconstructing the No. 16.

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the end, what concept was created by making the cells and then completing it by absorbing Number 17 and Number 18?

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>91

That was created by the computer on its own…!

106: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>91

It seems they caught a delinquent kid from around there and modified him, but actually, those two have had a remarkable unique constitution since they were alive, which probably felt necessary for the growth of the special cells in Cell’s body.

107: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>106

Bulma also said that she’s almost human, you know.

110: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>91

Oh, the computer made that on its own…

94: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was a bit surprised to learn that I had assumed that 17 and 18 were around their early twenties, but it seems I was actually thinking they were teenagers.

That’s childish.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

By the way, my wife is way too sexy, Doctor Ero.

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if Gero’s wife was really a gorilla.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>96

No. 21

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>96

The appearance is sexy.

99: Japan Otaku Reviews

Number 19 is weak in terms of the balance in the story, but the fact that he thought he could win after confirming with the Frieza family using a spy robot is impressive enough.

And it’s quite impressive to have the skills and loyalty to perform the surgery to convert Dr. Gero into Android 20.

103: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>99

You shouldn’t have done that.

I didn’t know about Super Saiyan.

105: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>103

That.

So the spy robot and the underground computer were operating away from Gero’s hands?

Or maybe the reconstruction surgery is such a big task that it takes more than three years, so you weren’t aware of it?

116: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>103

If the data up to Vegeta’s arrival on Earth was used to create this, then Dr. Gero is extremely cautious and a super genius.

119: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>116

Bulumaru and her dad were praised for being too genius…

100: Japan Otaku Reviews

The messy hair of No. 21 seems to be a design inspired by No. 16.

102: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Hacchan was a good guy, and it might be more difficult to make a bad robot.

108: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought I wouldn’t lose to No. 19 because I had slacked off on the investigations since Planet Namek.

The spy robot and the computer worked on their own and gathered cells from that guy called Frieza to create Cell.

Not listening at all…

109: Japan Otaku Reviews

There’s a high possibility that they aren’t really thinking that far ahead, to be honest.

Plant the instinct to absolutely kill Goku with gentle emotions.

I quite like the distorted affection of someone who installs a self-destruct device without actually disposing of it.

111: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s hard to say whether they were thinking of the son’s setting at this point, but it doesn’t seem like they’re trying to resemble Gero.

114: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>111

Well, while I’m drawing, I wonder why 16 is so kind → Maybe I should make it as a result of resembling the son who has lost his vomit.

It must be like an association game.

112: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t there a question about whether Cell was not designed by Gero? They mentioned it briefly in GT.

113: Japan Otaku Reviews

GT’s 17 is really an unfortunate situation, or rather, a terrible story.

But when I think about it, it was a terrible story from the very first modification.

115: Japan Otaku Reviews

In games from the PS2 era that hadn’t released settings yet, it was said, “I am not programmed to follow your orders.”

118: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>115

So whose orders will you listen to?

117: Japan Otaku Reviews

Who is this Super Saiyan? → I read the name and realized it was Bulma and Vegeta’s son… it seems they hadn’t discussed any future developments at all.

120: Japan Otaku Reviews

Could it be that the Red Ribbon Army, which had androids like this, was actually dangerous?

121: Japan Otaku Reviews

Despite feeling inferior to Dr. Brief, he is being told by Dr. Brief that he is incredibly genius.

122: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Trunks who killed Frieza due to a misunderstanding and the next Trunks who came are from different timelines, which gives it a slightly horror-like feel.

123: Japan Otaku Reviews

Although he couldn’t control it, he still created Hachiyan, who is stronger than Goku at that time.

124: Japan Otaku Reviews

Kondo-san in charge also said that the Android Saga was tough for both of us.

125: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems that Dr. Hedo’s parents, who fled in rebellion against the RR Army, left behind a large inheritance, so there’s no doubt that he cares about his family.

126: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems that multiples of 8 will be skipped.

128: Japan Otaku Reviews

It feels like Android 19 is not as strong as Frieza.

129: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>128

You’re definitely strong, aren’t you?

Frieza is at a level that Goku from three years ago can defeat in an instant.

130: Japan Otaku Reviews

Grandson Hedo is on top of everything in terms of vomit…

131: Japan Otaku Reviews

I understand Frieza, but did we really need Frieza’s dad’s cells?

133: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>131

Despite being ridiculed because of his disgraceful behavior, King Cold is clearly stated to be stronger than Frieza.

132: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

This area probably hasn’t been firmly established yet, but it makes sense as a justification for why they didn’t bother to dispose of it, using their deceased son as a model.

135: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>132

The excuse-laden reasons left behind also score high.

138: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>132

The Android Saga has many elements that are worth considering and imagining about Trunks’ timeline, and it’s really interesting.

154: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>132

Despite claiming to destroy the world, their personality is calm, and their maximum power is only half of that of Earth, which is modest compared to others. So when you ask why, it becomes the easiest to understand.

134: Japan Otaku Reviews

Gero: “I hate Son Goku! I’ll smash him!”

Gero’s computer: “I want to create something super strong, no matter what!”

136: Japan Otaku Reviews

It makes sense to say that I didn’t want to throw it away just because it was strong, but if a family member is the model, it becomes more persuasive.

137: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Hearing the behind-the-scenes stories makes it seem like a mess, but it didn’t bother me that much while reading.

In the end, 161718 Cell was a good character, so it’s all good.

139: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>137

I think it’s impressive how they managed to incorporate such a complicated element like time travel into a weekly live format.

140: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>137

These guys still have flavor even now, it’s amazing.

141: Japan Otaku Reviews

The method for manufacturing a perpetual energy machine is being kept secret by vomit.

Perhaps it could only be adopted because it couldn’t be reproduced by computers.

Since one unit doesn’t have enough output, two people are needed.

142: Japan Otaku Reviews

While saying “someday,” I haven’t fixed the future of my trunks, have I?

147: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>142

You were probably killed by the 17th unit before it was fixed.

It seems that Goku’s personality is different in the time he is alive compared to Trunks’ future.

143: Japan Otaku Reviews

The special move, Hell’s Flash, is supposed to be a technique that fires towards Earth, yet the damage is minimal, so it seems like it doesn’t have maximum firepower.

148: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>143

Vegeta’s Big Bang Attack should be stronger than the Galick Gun, which can destroy the Earth, but its damage range is smaller.

I think you’re good at controlling that kind of thing.

144: Japan Otaku Reviews

At first it was just Doctor Gero, but before I knew it, the whole family has become bound by vomit. It’s terrible.

I used to think “gero” meant frog when I was a kid.

145: Japan Otaku Reviews

According to Mashirito, Toriyama-sensei is a genius at making things fit together.

It seems that even that genius couldn’t manage it and ended up throwing it away, which appears to be the time paradox.

146: Japan Otaku Reviews

There was a story that Mr. Torishima called from the old man up to No. 17 and gave some criticisms, but recently he himself has denied it, suggesting it might be some kind of misunderstanding.

Then who…

150: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>146

Mashirito: “Hey, it’s an old man—(impression)”

The text appears to be incomplete or unclear. It may not have a direct translation in its current form.

“Did you take it as ‘Hey old man’ (denying)?”

155: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>146

I was talking on the radio, but Mr. Kondo.

149: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel Bulma’s influence in Trunks calling Android 18 (20) a cute girl.

151: Japan Otaku Reviews

Are Number 17 and Number 18 clearly designed as enemies?

At that time, Number 17 was definitely a character with a bad vibe.

152: Japan Otaku Reviews

At this point, number 16 is the strongest, so if I wanted to, I could destroy it.

153: Japan Otaku Reviews

It might be a bomb that destroys the Earth.

156: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, it’s said that Masiritto mentioned it during the editorial meeting right after the serialization ended, but I don’t really know how it actually was.

157: Japan Otaku Reviews

That radio became a mystery super Saiyan at the time Trunks appeared, and when they had a meeting the following week, it turned out he was Vegeta and Bulma’s son, which was surprising! It seemed like they hadn’t thought about it further than expected.

158: Japan Otaku Reviews

Toriyama said that the editorial department did not particularly oppose the ending of Dragon Ball, but last week on the radio, his editor Takeda mentioned that he was being pressured a lot with “There’s absolutely no way I’m letting you end the serialization!” So, well, it’s a difficult situation.

It may be that they lied taking advantage of Toriyama’s death, or it may be that they became able to speak about it because Toriyama passed away.

159: Japan Otaku Reviews

In your world, 17 and 18 are probably numbers you don’t even know.
