Dragon Ball Z is the adaptation of the second portion of
the immensely popular Dragon Ball manga written and drawn
by Akira Toriyama, which also
makes it the sequel to the Dragon Ball
anime. It was
initially released in Japan and Hong Kong, and later elsewhere in
the world. In the United States, the manga's
second portion is also titled Dragon Ball Z to prevent confusion. The
'Z' was originally added to the title by Toriyama to signify it as being the
ending portion of the Dragon Ball series.
The series follows the adventures of the adult Goku who, along
with his companions, defend the Earth and many other
planets against various villains. While the original Dragon Ball anime
followed Goku through childhood into adulthood, Dragon Ball Z is a
continuation of his adulthood life, but at the same time parallels the
maturation of his son, Gohan. The separation between the
series is also significant as the latter series takes on a more dramatic and
serious tone.
The anime first premiered in Japan and Hong Kong on April 18, 1989 (on Fuji
TV) at 7:00 p.m. and ended on January 31, 1996. It was also later broadcast
across Japan by the anime television network, Animax. In Hong Kong (independent
from China), it was the second country to release the full seasons of Dragon
Ball Z, due to close ties between Bird Studios Hong Kong and Japan. In the
U.S., the series ran between 1996 and 2003, though not always on the same
networks or with continuity of dubbing. It aired in the UK,
albeit with the same dubbing problem, on Cartoon Network, premiering
on March 6,
2000 and running
until 2002, with the final few episodes being shown on CNX starting from October 14, 2002 and finishing on February 28,
2003. The channel
then relaunched as Toonami, on which it was repeated
daily.
After Dragon Ball Z, the story of Goku and his friends continues in
the anime-only series Dragon Ball GT. This
series is not based on a manga by Akira Toriyama.
Toriyama's humor/self-parody manga Neko Majin
Z features several concepts introduced in Dragon Ball Z
(several Dragon Ball Z characters even make various appearances), but
that manga is designed as a parody and not a true continuation of the
series.

[edit]
Themes
Throughout the series, there is a strong theme that young people can
accomplish many of the same feats as adults. One example is during the
Cell Games Saga, in which
eleven-year-old Gohan is given the responsibility of defeating the villainous
Cell, which he does
after unlocking his inner strength. In addition, Goku starts out young in the
series, and accomplishes much despite his young age.
Another theme is the turning of fortunes in a battle through desperation or
righteous anger. Many battles proceed almost to defeat for the heroes, finally
to be reversed through a desperate act to defend their home or loved ones.
Characters who have used this to their advantage include Goku, Gohan and even
Vegeta. This
theme is found in almost every battle.
One of the main and most deep of themes is fatherhood. Not only is it seen
in the obvious example of Goku and his sons, but also Vegeta, who has a hard
time at first, but eventually learns what it means to be a father as seen in
the Cell Games,and Buu Sagas, and most
of Dragon Ball GT. Other signs of this being a theme are the lesser characters
all having a father or being the father of a main character such as Hercule,
Gyū-Maō, Dr. Briefs, or Bardock. Even the
villains show fatherhood as a theme, through Freeza and King Cold, Babidi and Bibidi, Broly and Paragus, and Piccolo Daimaō and
Piccolo Jr.
Another theme is that with friendship and kindness, people can have a change
of heart. Some of Goku's best friends were ones his rival's or enemies. Krillin
was a greedy, young boy who rivaled Goku for Master Roshi's attention, but
eventually became good-hearted and close to Goku. Piccolo, who was spared by
Goku and eventually killed him, changed and joined with Goku in many battles.
Vegeta, who sought to become stronger than Goku after losing to him, was
thought by Goku to be his best friend and although he doesn't admit it, thinks
it too. He learned to protect the innocent and learn respect for others through
Goku.

[edit]
Censorship issues
Dragon Ball Z was marketed to appeal to a wide range of viewers
from all ages, and contains crude humor and occasional excesses of violence
(which includes cartoon blood), which are commonly seen as inappropriate for
younger audiences by American standards. When it was marketed in the US, the
distribution company FUNimation
alongside with Saban decided to initially focus
exclusively on the young children's market, because the anime market was still
small compared to the much larger children's cartoon market.
Beginning with the Ginyu arc (3rd US season) on
Cartoon Network, no other
show had restrictions this severe on cable programming. From this saga onwards,
FUNimation dubbed the show themselves with their own in-house voice actors.
In 2003, FUNimation began to redub the first two sagas (Saiyan and Freeza) to
remove the problems that were caused from their previous partnership with
Saban. They also redubbed the first three Pioneer-distributed movies that were
dubbed by the Ocean Group voice actors. The distribution of the redubs on DVD,
under the Ultimate Uncut Edition title, began in April 2005.

[edit]
Creative changes
To an equal extent, people have taken issue with changes in the English
edition that are not seen as necessary, such as extraneous dialogue
not found in the original, dubbing that sways the English version in its own
creative direction, the replacement of the entire original musical score, and
renaming of many characters, terminology, and locations. Combined with
criticized voice acting, many feel that the English version of Dragon Ball
Z almost seems like an entirely different show than the original, and this
has led many familiar with the Japanese series to dislike FUNimation's English
dub.

[edit]
Uncut version
In 2005, Cartoon Network started
showing the uncut version of the first two seasons
of Dragon Ball Z. This version used the original Japanese footage,
with the exception of the Japanese opening and closing themes, and has an
entirely new score of music. The uncut version also featured many scenes with
large amounts of blood, mild profanity and language, as well as mild sexual
humor and slapstick nudity . Generally, while some lines were maintained from
the original dub, several mistranslations were also corrected.

[edit]
International English version
Until 2001, other English speaking countries including the UK, Canada, Australia and Republic of Ireland
received FUNimation's English version of Dragon Ball Z, both the Saban and
In-house incarnations. Until, surprisingly, when Episode 108 aired in the UK
(also in The Netherlands) the English Dub switched to a version produced in
Canada; which appeared to have been licensed out by FUNimation to produce a
version of the show (It is thought it was recorded at either Airwaves or
Westwood Studios in Vancouver). However, this version regained the original
voice cast by the Ocean Group instead of the FUNimation actors. This version
began airing in Canada in the fall of 2001 from Episode 168, and ran through to
the end of the series. It used FUNimation's own videotracks and its scripts,
albeit with some notable changes to fit the actors better. This version used
music recycled from the Mega Man and Monster
Rancher cartoons, as well as a few original pieces for the series by Jon
Mitchell, Tom Keenlyside and David Iris. This version, albeit with the original
actors lacks due to its clearly low production values, and in the speed it was
produced - for example many voices did not stay consistent through the series,
and by the end few remained from the original 1996 cast. See Below for a
complete cast listing.

[edit]
Filler
Filler is used to pad out
the series for many reasons; in the case of Dragon Ball Z, more often
than not, it was because the anime was running alongside the manga, and there
was no way for the anime to run ahead of the manga since Toriyama was still
writing it.
The company behind the anime, Toei Animation, would
occasionally create side stories to either further explain things, or simply to
extend the series. Filler does not come only in the form of side stories
though; sometimes it is as simple as adding some extra attacks into a fight.
For instance, many scenes in the anime appear quite protracted, featuring long
shots of the characters faces and stand-offs lasting an entire episode. As the
anime series was forced to expand 12 pages of manga image and text into 20-22
minutes of animation footage, these changes were introduced to fill the
complete television timeslot or to allow the anime writers to explore some
other aspects of the series' universe. The Anoyo-ichi Budōkai (Afterlife
tournament) between the Cell Saga and Majin Buu
Saga and the Garlic Jr. arc, also
known as Garlic Jr.'s return from the Return my Gohan!!
(Dead Zone) movie between the Freeza Saga and Trunks arc (pre-Cell
Saga) are examples of this. However, most changes such as these have been known
to sometimes contradict the manga and create plot holes.

[edit]
VHS/DVD Releases

[edit]
Japanese releases
Originally, only the Dragon Ball Z movies, and the Plan to Eradicate
the Saiyans footage were available for home viewing in Japan. The movies
were released on both VHS, and Laserdisc format. The Plan to
Eradicate the Saiyans footage was released both on VHS, as a visual guide to the Nintendo Famicom game with the
same name, and on the PlayDia,
as an interactive FMV.

[edit]
Dragonbox releases
In 2003, all of the Dragon Ball Z TV series was finally released for home
viewing in Japan, on two large DVD boxed sets. Each Dragon Ball Z Dragonbox had a
large amount of DVD extras, as well as an action figure and a book.
The video and audio transfers of the show used on these DVDs came off of the
Fuji TV master tapes of the show, as this allowed Toei to put out a far
superior and completely accurate version of the show on DVD. This allowed all
episodes to have their original openings, endings, eyecatches, next episode
previews, etc., compared to what was available in the US.
In late 2005 the Dragon Box Z DVDs were re-released in single volumes with
six episodes per disc. While the packaging and DVD menus are different from the
2003 release, and so far no plans have been announced for the two TV specials
and the Playdia footage released with the 2003 versions, the Audio and Visual
quality is the exact same as those discs found in the 2003 Dragonbox
release.
At the end of March, 2006, a Dragonbox: The Movies DVD-BOX was released.
This release contained all 17 Dragonball and Dragonball Z theatrical features,
along with a book, and two scouters in the form of walkie-talkies. The video
and audio are remastered, however the video is cropped and contains less
picture than the full-screen versions, a common occurrence for films from Toei,
based on long-running and popular TV series (See Saint Seiya, Fist of the North
Star, and One Piece).
All Dragonbox releases contain Japanese language audio only (with exceptions
to foreign-language bonus clips), and no subtitles.

[edit]
Pioneer DVDs
During the late 90's/early 00's, The first 53 (Saban/FUNimation version
numbers, originally uncut as 67) TV episodes were released on to DVD by Geneon
Entertainment USA (then Pioneer Entertainment). These contained only the
edited, US-TV broadcast versions, and totalled 17 volumes. At a later date, the
first 8 DVDs were released as the 'Saiyan Saga', while the final 9 were
released as the 'Namek Saga'. As of August the 31st, 2004, Geneon's license for
video distribution of these episodes ended, allowing FUNimation to re-release
these episodes.
Along with these episodes, Pioneer Ent. also produced bilingual, uncut DVDs
of the first three Dragon Ball Z theatrical features. These DVDs retained the
original Ocean cast for the English track, as well as being one of the first
uncut and bilingual releases in the U.S. The English versions of these films
were also subject to a different treatment, rather than replacing the original
music, the original OP and ED themes, as well as background music, were
retained. The only noticeable differences besides languages are the inclusion
of a few different sound effects which are not present on the original Japanese
version.
These films were released as a three-disc boxset by Pioneer, however much
like the 53 TV episodes Pioneer had license to, the first three Z film's home
video rights now belong to FUNimation.

[edit]
FUNimation DVDs
As of
2000, FUNimation has released uncut versions of their Texas-based English
dub on to DVD, uncut and with Japanese language track, and English-translation
subtitles. Beginning with the Captain Ginyu saga, which took place directly
after the Saban/FUNimation-produced episodes, FUNimation has released
bilingual, uncut DVDs for every episode covering (Japanese numbers) 68 till
291. Boxsets for the Garlic Jr., Androids, Imperfect Cell, Perfect Cell, World
Tournament, Majin Buu, Evil Buu, Fusion, and Kid Buu U.S. sagas have also been
released. However, in order to maximize profits, the DVDs were released out of
continuity (certain amounts of one section of the series were released, and
then FUNimation would go back and release others). With no noticeable numbering
visible, this caused frustration to those trying to follow the series from
start to finish.
After acquiring the video rights to the first 53 (67) episodes from Pioneer,
FUNimation announced that they would release these episodes uncut, with a new
5.1 English language track and uncut footage. The Ultimate Uncut Edition line
was born. The release would be 22 volumes, Bilingual, and with extras. The
Saiyan Saga was renamed the 'Vegeta' Saga (Parts I and II, covering 12 DVDs),
probably to avoid confusion with the Pioneer volumes. No one is sure what the
Namek saga would have been called. This was the same version shown on Cartoon
Network. However, as of DVD volume 9, FUNimation has cancelled these box sets
and are planning to re-re-release them in the new DVD sets they are currently
working on. This has greatly upset fans who have purchased the expensive
Ultimate Uncut DVDs, as the Vegeta Saga Part II will never be completed.
FUNimation has also released Dragon Ball Z movies 4-13, finishing the
release of the movies with 'Wrath of the Dragon', the 13th movie. These are all
bilingual and subtitled, but do not follow the trend set by Ocean's first three
movies. Music has been changed and altered, including the insertion of songs
from rock bands such as Pantera and Deftones. The movies utilize the TV series
Texas cast, though they also include the original Japanese version with
subtitling by Steve Simmons.
FUNimation re-released the first movie under the Ultimate Uncut line, but
movie 2 and 3 were not named 'Ultimate Uncut' even though they had they same
cover style as movie 1. All of these movies had a 5.1 English track, new
subtitles, different DVD extras and come in a boxset titled 'First Strike'.
However, they do not retain the original Ocean dub, and contain a new English
dub produced by FUNimation's Texas cast. This version contains different music
to the original dub or Japanese version.
FUNimation has officially dropped the 'Ultimate Uncut' line and are working
on their season boxsets.

FUNimation Season Box Sets




Season 1 Box Set





Genre
Comedy/Action



In November 2005, FUNimation announced they would release a remastered form
of Dragon Ball Z on DVD beginning in 2007. It was later announced that
&quot;Season 1&quot; (the entire Vegeta Saga) would be
re-released on February 6, 2007. The first 39 episodes of Season 1
are spread across 6 discs, and cost $30-$50 USD (the original intention was for
5 discs, but there was a risk of quality reduction). The series has been
re-transferred at 1080p resolution with digital
restoration technology removing all grain and scratches from FUNImation's
original prints of the series. It is important to note however, that like many
late 80's-early 90's Toei productions (for example, Saint Seiya, Sailor Moon,
Marmalade Boy, Ghost Sweeper Mikami
and Slam Dunk), the series
was produced on 16&quot; millimeter film which tends to be fairly grainy and soft.
The new restoration was supervised by colorist Steve
Franko. It was reported from FUNImation's online trailer that the series
would be presented in widescreen format (1.78:1, cropped from the original full
frame) for the first time. The boxset contains a revised English track in
Dolby Digital 5.1 surround
sound (it contains the original Japanese score by Shunsuke Kikuchi,
although it is unknown just how the English dialogue is revised). For the first
time ever, there is a choice between having the Japanese dialogue with Toei's
original Japanese music, or English Dialogue with either FUNimation's dub music
or Toei's original Japanese music. Special features include a featurette on the
remastering of the original Japanese print and a 24-Page booklet with Episode
summaries, character descriptions and a DBZ timeline. All other 291 episodes
are to be remastered and released in boxset form as well. FUNimation released a
trailer for the new set on the Dragon Ball Z website.
Comparison images from the new set show that while there is missing footage
on the top and bottom, there is at least additional footage on the right and
left that has not appeared in any prior release, having been taken straight
from the original Japanese film master recording. In
response to negative fan outcry regarding the release's apparent cropping of the source
video, a FUNimation representative has released a document from the team
remastering the video, which explains the logistics of the new
release[1]. This
document details how certain areas of the original film are damaged, and admit
that though the video is cropped, this release will eliminate the grain that
would be present on prior 4:3 releases. It has also been theorized that it is
ultimately more inexpensive to transfer the series in 16:9 and thereby remove
the damaged portions of the frame than to repair 291 episodes' worth of damaged
film.
FUNimation has announced that the Second Season Set is set for release in
May 22, 2007. It is to contain both the Namek Saga and Ginyu Saga.
This means there should be a total of 35 episodes included. The set will once
again be in widescreen (1:78:1). It has also been confirmed by voice actor
Kyle
Hebert that the Ginyu Saga will be re-dubbed by
most of the voice actors to keep consistency with the dub.

Hope (Dragon Ball)

From Wikipedia, the free
encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

Hope is the name given to a Time
Machine that is used many times in the manga and anime Dragon Ball
Z.

[edit]
TV Special
#2




The Time Machine, Hope


In the second DBZ TV special, taking place in the
bleak future depicted by Trunks, Bulma realises that there is
only one way to rid the Earth of the Androids (#17 and #18) before humanity is wiped out
completely, since Super Saiyan Gohan has been killed in battle and Trunks is
nowhere near powerful enough to defeat the merciless machines.
In a desperate attempt to save the world, Bulma uses
her technological genius and builds a Time Machine to send Trunks twenty years
into the past and warn Goku of the heart disease that killed him in the bleak
future. To match their goal, Bulma and Trunks name the Time Machine
&quot;Hope&quot;.
However, Hope is not without it's drawbacks: the power
fuel unit becomes drained with every trip into time and requires at least three
years to return to full power again. This is why Trunks could not return to the
past until three years after his battle with Freeza (possibly why he planned to
go into the past 3 years before the Androids came). When Trunks travels to the
past to give Goku the heart medication, he states that the time machine just
enough energy for a round trip to the future. After Trunks is able to destroy
the Androids and restore peace in his timeline however, only 8 months is needed
to recharge Hope. Also with every trip to change history, a new, alternate
timeline is created, making it impossible to save his future by simply altering
the past.

[edit]
Cell Saga
In the Imperfect Cell Saga, it is discovered that
there are two Hope Time Machines in the present timeline in which
Trunks is now. While a clean one is in Trunks' possession inside a capsule, the
second is full-size, covered in dirt and its glass dome is broken. It is later
revealed that in an accidentally created timeline, Trunks and Bulma used a
remote control to shut the Androids down, and a bio-android named Cell killed
the both of them, stole their Time Machine, and traveled into the past to
absorb Androids 17 and 18 and complete his hideous evolution.
At the end of the Cell Games Saga, Trunks uses his
Hope Time Machine to return to his bleak future (he decided not to go to the
new one he made) and destroy the Androids for good with his improved
powers.

[edit]
Movie 13
While the Time Machine is built for Tapion to return
home, it is not named &quot;Hope&quot;, but just the same model as Hope.

Dragonball, Z, GT Capsule Corporation


Capsule Corporation - is a highly advanced technology
corporation, which is owned by Bulma's father, Dr. Briefs. Capsule Corp. now
stands alone in the technology standard, but they weren't always easily the
best. In Dragonball, their arch nemesis was the Red Ribbon Army, which all
technology made and designed for them was done by none other than Dr. Gero.
After Goku defeated the Red Ribbon Army, it was thought that everyone was dead,
but Goku didn't finish off Gero, he let him live, which would end up almost
being the fate of all the Z Warriors when Gero created the Androids. Capsule
Corp is famous for making inventions like the Dragonball Radar and gravity
simulators and other extremely handy items, which are concealed in a tiny
capsule. eg. hover cars, small houses, food, etc. Their wondrous adventures
have easily made them one of the most recognized and richest families in the
world. It also seems as though the smarts is carried through the genes, since
Bulma is also just as smart as her father, if not more so. She is always ready
and willing to lend a hand to the Z - Fighters anytime, technology wise, not
fighting. The main reason behind Capsule Corp.'s success is because they are
able to conceal all their inventions inside tiny Capsules no larger than a
person's thumb which makes it for easy carrying and thus gave the company the
name, &quot;Capsule&quot; Corp which are called for some reason in the show dyno caps.

Pan (パン), or more properly
Son Pan[citation needed], is
a fictional character
in the manga and anime series Dragon Ball Z, as well as
Dragon Ball GT. She is
a Human-Saiyan quarterbreed.

[edit] Biography
Pan is the daughter
of Videl and Son Gohan, which also means that she is the
granddaughter of both Son Goku and Mr. Satan. In her infancy she spent a lot of
time with Goku, so she trained a lot. When she was 4 years old she was already
regularly flying around the world, and attempting to beat her best times. Pan
is also good friends with Vegeta and Bulma's daughter Bra. It is speculated that Pan, like
her father, may have a lot of hidden potential.




Young Pan eating an Ice
Cream in Dragon Ball Z


When Goku leaves at
the end of the Dragon Ball Z series, to train Uub, he also leaves behind the very impressionable Pan who develops
anger towards Goku for failing to keep his promise to visit his family and
friends.
From the closing
scenes of Dragon Ball Z anime only, she is fighting Goten and appears to be victorious
as Trunks holds her hand up in victory. (This
also makes it clear that in the tournament Majin Buu never finished as the runner up
since Goten was Buu's first opponent, in which case Goten wouldn't have been
fighting Pan.)
During
Dragon Ball
GT, Pan goes
into outer space with Goku and Trunks in order to find the Black Star
Dragonballs. This was not intentional, Goten was supposed to take her place,
but she hit the launch button on the space ship before he had boarded. She
develops quite an attitude, and gets into a lot of trouble on different
planets. Giru, the helpful little robot who travels with them, tries to protect
Pan, but usually ends up getting yelled at by Pan. However, deep down Pan
really has feelings for the little bot.




Pan 100 years after the
end of DBGT


The very last part
of the series' timeline shows Pan as an old lady with a grandson called

Goku
Junior. It
is unknown what happened to Goku Jr.'s parents.
It should be noted
that Pan's name comes from the Pan of Roman (as well as others)
mythology. That means that, at first glance, she appears to have been named
after her mother Videl rather than her father Gohan. However, closer inspection reveals a double-pun on behalf of
author Akira
Toriyama, in
that Pan is also the Japanese word for bread,[1],
continuing her father's food-based name as well as her mother's
Devil-Greekgods-based name.

      Giru 




Giru


Giru (ギル, also
known as Gill and Gil) is a small robot that Pan, Trunks and
Goku encounter in space. The first thing he did was eat the Dragon Radar, so the others are forced to take
him along. He was originally working for Rilldo, and was supposed to be trying
to lure the Saiyans to his planet so Doctor Myū could experiment on them. Giru,
however, lost his memory before Goku and his friends found him, and although he
recovered his memory later on, he realized how good the Saiyans were to him,
especially Pan, and helped to rescue them from Rilldo. He accompanied them back
to earth and then took the role of the Dragon Radar, albeit one that can talk.
The name Giru is a pun on gear. Throughout the first part of the series, he is chased by
Pan, exclaiming &quot;Pan, Danger!&quot;, which
is likely a parody on the Lost in Space catch phrase 
&quot;Danger, Will
Robinson&quot;.

Android #17 (Also known as
Jinzōningen #17, Cyborg #17, and
Artificial Human #17) is a fictional character from the
Japanese manga
Dragon
Ball and anime
Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball
GT. He is a black-haired cyborg modified by Doctor Gero.
He is referred to in the original Japanese as an
artificial human (Jinzōningen), which is translated as
'cyborg'/'android'/'robot'; he is not a robot
nor an android, and it is implied in the manga he and his sister were
originally runaway humans that were kidnapped by Dr.Gero and heavily fitted
with cybernetics. As such, he is, in English, correctly a cyborg. Future Trunks also confirms this by
using the word cyborg
in the original version of the anime when describing
to Goku about what the pair are that
will ruin the future.
No. 17 is a notable character in the Dragon Ball
series due to his very back-and-forth moral standing. He starts out appearing
to be a powerful villain, but is revealed to be little else besides a rebel
without a cause. When he is wished back to life, he lives a life of peace on
his own. However, he is brought back in GT as a super villain when people in
Hell take control of his mind, and is killed for his heinous crimes. Yet even
when the villains take control of his mind, he still maintains some of the love
in his heart, especially for his twin sister. This is in contrast to his
alternate self from Trunks' future, where he is a sociopathic killer who cares
for no one but himself and his sister.
No. 17's strongest trait is most certainly his sense
of self. He refuses to bow down to the will of his evil creator
Dr. Gero (or later, Dr. Myū), and fights a futile
battle with Cell to assert his identity and his
pride. He has guns, but rarely uses them, due to the fact that firearms would
be useless in combat against opponents such as saiyans or Cell. He is seen with a holstered
gun in Dragon Ball Z: Budōkai 3.
His seiyū is Shigeru
Nakahara. In the FUNimation dub, he is voiced
by Chuck
Huber.
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or
ending details follow.

[edit]
Dragon Ball
Z




#17 at left with #16
and his twin sister #18.



[edit]
Androids
Saga
Android 17 and his twin sister Android 18 are awakened by their
creator, Dr.
Gero, when he is pressed into a corner by
the Z
Fighters, who he discovers to be much stronger
than expected. It is revealed that this is not the first time Dr. Gero has
attempted to utilize the twin cyborgs; his fear of them quickly becomes obvious
and is fully realized when Android 17 impales then decapitates him. Abandoning
Gero's plans for them, Android 17 and Android 18 awaken Android 16 and decide to find
Son Goku and fight him just for fun.
They are confronted by Vegeta, Future Trunks, Tenshinhan and Piccolo and defeat all four with
extreme ease. However, the twins let them live, one of many examples that set
them apart from their future timeline counterparts, especially since at the
same time Future Trunks notes that they are much stronger than in his
timeline.

[edit]
Imperfect Cell
Saga
Later, #17 fought Piccolo after he had fused
with Kami, giving him extraordinary
powers. They were roughly equal in power, except for the fact that #17 would
never run out of energy and Piccolo could become drained of his. The match was
interrupted by Cell, who was looking to absorb #17 and #18 to reach his
perfect form. While Piccolo tried to aid in the battle against Cell,
he was quickly tossed aside, and #17 struggled in vain to defend himself from
being absorbed. All seemed lost until #16
stepped in to fight Cell. #16 was able to hold off Cell
for a time, repeatedly surprising it with intensely powerful attacks such as
the &quot;Hell's Flash&quot; beam cannons. However, this sudden turning of tables created
an overconfidence in #17, who lingered at the battle site, where the wounded
but still-living Cell surprised him and quickly absorbed him.

[edit]
Cell Games
Saga
No. 17 was killed along with Cell during either Cell's
self-destruction or Cell's actual death at the hands of Gohan, but was revived
after the Z Warriors used the Dragon Balls to bring back the
people killed by Cell. He also had the self-destruct device in his body removed
by Kuririn
in another wish made true with the Dragon Balls. He never
makes contact with the main cast again for the rest of Dragon Ball Z, content
to live life on his own.
It should be noted that though the group had initially
given up on the idea that 17 could actually be alive when they failed to sense
him or figure in any way that he was alive after making the wish that actually
did bring him back, the most likely reason that nobody could detect him at all
is the fact that an even semi-mechanical being (such as Gero's androids and
cyborgs, including 17) has no actual (or at least traceable) ki signature and
thus cannot be sensed by even the most highly trained organic being.

[edit]
Future
Timeline
In a dark future timeline of Dragon Ball Z, #17 and
#18 have ravaged the planet Earth within an inch of its life, and much of human
civilization is destroyed. Following their release, they killed Dr. Gero (as in
the &quot;fixed&quot; timeline that Dragon Ball Z follows) and then proceeded to kill
anything they encountered for &quot;points&quot;, including all of the Z Fighters except
Gohan. As the years pass, it becomes painfully obvious that Gohan and Trunks
are the only martial artists left capable of fighting the twins. However, no
concieveable advantage arises for them and Gohan is eventually killed. In one
timeline, Trunks shuts them down with a remote control, and is killed by Cell,
who travels to a similar past timeline to seek out the twins; and in another,
he destroys them through pure power, then destroys Cell as well.

[edit]
Kid Buu Saga




Android 17's reappearance in the Buu Saga.


No. 17 is later seen in the manga and the Dragon Ball
Z episode where Goku gathers energy to defeat Kid
Buu. He raises his rifle to trick two hunters
passing by into raising their hands into the air (they think that he's trying
to rob them) and giving energy to Goku's Genki
Dama. He then smiles and says, &quot;You beat me to
it,&quot; raising his hands up with them to give energy to Goku. In the original
manga however, he merely raises his hands and his hands alone.
Considering the fact that he is alive at this time
serves as a testament to his good soul: the wish that revived him was one
that Vegeta
had the Kaioshins and Namekians make asking for the
good people on Earth to be revived when it was
restored (Kid Buu
had previously obliterated the planet with his massive ki
ball, the 
Chikyuu Hokai no Ichigeki).

[edit]
Dragon Ball
GT
In Dragon Ball
GT, he is telepathically brainwashed by and
eventually merges with a machine mutant version of himself, created by Doctor
Gero and Dr.
Myū in Hell. Before he merges, he decides
to ask #18 to join him, but the incident only leads to the death of
Kuririn when he momentarily
contradicts the machine mutant 17's voice getting in his head. #18 is horrified
and attempts to fight #17, but he incapacitates her. He then finds his
artificial self to become Super
17.
The super android then battles most of the Z Fighters,
but defeats them all, including Uub
and Vegeta, with relative ease, killing Dr. Gero once
again in the process as Dr. Myu reveals he reprogrammed him to so that he could
have full control. Before any good guys can be killed, Super #17 ends up
fighting Son Goku, who would later be helped
by #18. Her appearance helps the situation lead to the deaths of both Dr. Myu
(who 18 turned 17 against by reminding him of his true nature) and Super #17
himself.
As is revealed after the end of the fight, the real
#17 had given them the chance they needed to finish him and his evil copy off
by taking control of the Super 17 body from the machine mutant and trying to
power up as 18 was shooting energy waves at him instead of sticking with the
absorption technique. This revealed to Goku that Super 17 could not move if he
were to absorb energy, thus leaving him vulnerable to physical attacks. From
there, Goku was able to go right through the chest of Super 17 with the Super
Dragon Fist, rendering him unable to absorb the ensuing onslaught of
Kamehamehas, finally killing him.
It is widely believed that the wish that Goku gave
himself for at the end of GT, which had brought back to life all the good
people that died in the battles from the Super #17 saga on through to the Evil
Dragon Saga (FUNimation's dub: Shadow
Dragon Saga) did revive #17, despite his
fusion with the artificial version to become Super 17. Though we did not see
any proof either way, evidence of his previous revivals points to him having a
good soul.

[edit]
Videogames
His list of appearances as a playable character
includes:

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3

Dragon Ball Z: Indainaru Dragon Ball Densetsu
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi

Dragon Ball Z: Legendary Super Warriors
Super
Dragon Ball Z
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2

He also appears (though only as an enemy) in the games
Dragon Ball Z:
Sagas and Dragon Ball
Z: The Legacy of Goku 2.

[edit]
Trivia

If the fan conception is true and he was brought back
to life at the end of Dragon Ball GT, then this would mean 17 was brought back
to life three times, twice by Shenron, which would indeed break
the rule established in DBZ continuity that Shenron lacks the power to bring
anyone back to life more than once. (The same goes for Kuririn, who was actually seen alive
right before the 100-year fast forward scene that ended GT, only making the
belief about #17 stronger.) But since Goku gave his life for the final wish,
who was indeed a powerful person, that wish would use an amount of energy equal
in representing Goku's to keep the exchange fair, which would explain the
&quot;bending&quot; of said rules. The three times are as follows:


At the end of the Cell saga when every victim of Cell
was wished back. The wish was made to Shenron.
When Vegeta had the Nameks wish to Porunga that all
the good people of Earth be brought back to life after the planet was restored.
The wish was made to 
Porunga, the Namekian Dragon.
The wish at the end of GT to bring every good person
back to life that died since the start of the Super 17 saga. This was the final
wish ever made to Shenron.


Versions of the outfit 17 wears when brainwashed by
Hell Fighter #17 are used as his alternate costume in the original DBZ Budokai
series of videogames (the
first Budokai, Budokai 2, and Budokai 3).


#17 is also a good car driver, as hinted near the end of
the Android Saga and the Imperfect Cell Saga. He drove a pink
van that says &quot;Lucky Foods&quot; that he
stole from the two owners of the van who were drinking hot coffee.


Android 17 was twice the strongest fighter in the
Dragon Ball series.

The first was in the Android Saga before Piccolo had
fused with Kami and Cell had absorbed a certain amount
of bioextract from countless humans (though #16 is later revealed to be
stronger than all of them when he steps in against Cell).
The second was in Dragon Ball GT as Super 17. He could only be defeated
with the help of #18, who distracted him long enough for Goku to realize and
take advantage of his defense holes and pierce him with the
Ryu-Ken.

    <description>
      Marron MarronMarron is the daughter of Kuririn and Android 18. She was
born three years before the Majin Buu Saga in Dragon Ball Z. As a baby and
little girl, she resembles her father. She has his eyes and nose, or rather
lack of nose. However, she does indeed have a nose, though small, and as she
grows older, Marron begins to look more like her mother. Unlike the rest of the
other Z Warriors' children, Marron is the only one who was never trained by her
mother or father which means that she has never shown any special abilities or
martial arts skills of her own, which makes her another background
character.

    <description>
      Bra (FUNimation's dub: Bulla) Bra as she appears in Dragon Ball GTBra is
the second child (after Trunks) of Bulma and Vegeta. Unlike Pan who acts
tomboyish, Bra acts feminine and sticks around her mom. Like Bulma, Bra has
blue hair in the anime and purple hair in the manga. Bra is usually cheerful,
eager to please, and very fond of her father. In fact, Bra may be the only
person in the universe that Vegeta will answer to, often bending to her wishes,
such as insisting Vegeta shave off his mustache or alas, go shopping together.
Her father doesn't appear to make a point of encouraging her to train (like he
does to her brother Trunks), but the two are quite close, as it becomes
apparent in DBGT, where Vegeta proves to be very protective of his daughter on
subsequent occasions. During the Baby Saga, Bra (along with the rest of the
world) is possessed by Baby. She is one of the four characters who help Baby
become stronger; after this, however, her role is greatly reduced. Later, she,
along with Videl, Bulma, and Chi-Chi want to fight along in the Super #17 Saga,
however, Goku and #18 have done the job already. She is last seen at the end of
the Super #17 Saga, standing with the others at the Capsule Corp., when Evil
Shenlong appears, but for some reason she is not seen in the next episode with
them, and is not seen for the rest of the series. Although she has never been
seen in combat, except when bebi or Baby had her under his control, she does
have the ability to fly through use of her ki.

[edit] History
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Android-18 is a cybernetic human, modified by the scientist named Dr. Gero. She is often referred to in the original Japanese as a jinzō-ningen, which literally translates as &quot;artificial human&quot; (jinzō-ningen), thus &quot;android, robot&quot;. However, she is not entirely an android because, in a conversation with Android-16, she refers to both herself and her &quot;twin brother&quot; Android-17 as having been &quot;constructed from a human base&quot;. It is implied in the manga that they were originally runaways heavily fitted with cybernetics. Whether or not this &quot;fitting&quot; was consensual is unknown, but it is implied that it wasn't considering that they both show a disdainful disrespect toward Gero. (In fact, both of their Dragon Library pages in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 says for a fact Gero took them against their will.) In the anime it's mildly implied that they may actually be Gero's children when, at the 25th Tenka-ichi Budōkai, she was asked about her name (given as &quot;Jūhachi-gō&quot;, &quot;Number-18&quot;) she says &quot;[her] father was pretty dull,&quot; although this is likely metaphorical. However, she is able to biologically function as a human does, given the fact that she produces a child right before the Buu Saga. Android 18's original human name is never revealed. Even her husband, Kuririn, doesn't refer to her with her original name, so it's likely it was completely lost in the process of making her an android.

It is never explained why Androids 17 and 18 were created, but it has been suggested that they were tools to be used by Gero's ultimate creation, Cell. Cell was supposed to absorb them into his fully biological body and become the &quot;perfect&quot; warrior. He achieved this, absorbing 18 shortly after doing the same to 17. 17 and 18 were actually just made to kill Son Gokū and the Z-warriors; if they failed, Cell was to absorb them and finish the job.


[edit] Beauty and the Monk
When Kuririn first meets Android-18 he is very attracted to her, even though at the time he believes that she is heartless and wants to kill the Z-warriors. 18 is too artificial to age, so she looks the same at the end of Dragon Ball Z as she did during her first appearance (although she has cut her hair).

On the highway, after she and her brother nearly kill the Z-warriors, she kisses the terrified Kuririn on the cheek after he tries to persuade them not to go after Gokū. This is when Kuririn starts to fall in love with her. After Cell arrives, Kuririn refuses to use a back up destruction remote on her, which would have destroyed her, cutting short Cell's relentless quest for ultimate power. Because of this, Cell eventually absorbs her and reaches his ultimate power, but Cell becomes overpowered by Son Gohan, and regurgitates 18. When Cell is defeated, Kuririn uses the Dragon Balls to wish for 17 and 18 to be turned into full humans. Shenlong is unable to do this because of the unfathomable differences in power between him and the duo, so he wishes instead for their self destruct devices to be removed. Kuririn pursues 18 and they eventually have a child together, a daughter named Marron.

To clear up the heavily espoused misconception that Android-18 is a pure android and therefore could not have a child, Kuririn went on to explain to Gokū (and, in essence, to all confused fans) during the Tenka-ichi Budōkai in the Buu Saga that she was originally human but that Gero just &quot;remodeled her a little bit.&quot; 18's destructive personality fades quite a bit after the Cell Saga and is accepted as a member of the core group of characters -- particularly after she and Kuririn marry and have a daughter. But even though, by observing her, you can tell that she is a loving mother and wife, she sometimes displays that frightening unpredictable nature towards others, particularly towards Muten-rōshi.

[edit] Alternate Timeline
Androids 17 and 18's counterparts in Future Trunks' alternate timeline are murderous sociopaths who are responsible for the deaths of billions of innocents. Trunks destroys them with his new power when he returns home, after years of their devastating the planet. Even when the main-timeline versions of 17 and 18 were first introduced as antagonists, they were never as malicious as their alternate reality selves. For unknown reasons, the main versions are also stronger than the ones Future Trunks knows. However, Piccolo suggests that it is because Trunks has changed the present by traveling back in time and that this has caused many things to change.


[edit] Android-18 in the Buu Saga
Later in the series, Android-18 is paired with Mr. Satan in the Tenka-ichi Budōkai. She does not want the fame and attention of winning, so allows Mr. Satan to beat her and retain his somewhat misappropriated title of a great fighter, provided he pays her double the prize money. The same day however, 18 gets killed, along with her family, by Majin Buu, who turns her into chocolate and eats her (this is the second time that she has been ingested by one of the DBZ villains). She is brought back to life with the Dragon Balls, and gives energy to Son Gokū to fuel his Genki Dama to defeat Buu. Though peace has returned, 18 still maintains a cool and distant attitude toward Gokū, as she was originally created to kill him, but she still can't resist smiling when Gokū returns and has a tearful reunion with his family, showing a softer side to her personality.


[edit] Dragon Ball GT
 
#18 in Dragon Ball GTAndroid-18 gets possessed by Bebi, but she doesn't play an important role as any type of servant, so life simply carries on. She is cured with the Sacred Water, and later on she and Goku teamed up to defeat Super Hell Fighter #17, because Android-17 killed Kuririn, someone who both Gokū and 18 loved and cared for.


[edit] Dragon Ball Movies
(#18 appears in the following Dragon Ball Movies and TV Specials:)

TV Special 2: Resistance to Despair!! The Remaining Super-Warriors, Gohan and Trunks (FUNimation's dub: The History of Trunks) 
Movie 11: Super-Warrior Defeat!! I'm the One who'll Win (FUNimation's dub: Bio-Broly) 

[edit] Power
As a cyborg, Android-18 is extremely powerful, she is able to easily overpower a basic Super-Saiyan. This is first demonstrated to when she fights Super-Saiyan Vegeta, she is able to severely injure him (going as far as to break his arm with one kick) and walk away almost completely unscathed save her clothes, burned off by one of Vegeta's ki attacks. She finds replacements soon afterward, resulting in her donning different clothing than her future counterpart does. She was also able hold her own when Son Goten and Trunks fought her, both as Super-Saiyans. 18 is fitted with a device that gives her a continuous and virtually infinite energy supply. This prevents her from becoming exhausted while fighting, and augments her power enough to make her a formidable opponent even for any of the surviving Saiyans, strong enough to more than match up to a normal Super-Saiyan, since -- as was proven by the two aforementioned examples, moreso the former than the latter -- the initial Super-Saiyan state is imperfect and drains energy quickly, making it only a matter of time before the even match becomes a no-chance affair.

However, it is noted that she is slightly weaker than Cell in his first form upon his absorption of countless humans and as a result she deeply fears Semi-Perfect Cell, who gets trounced by Super (Ascended SSJ) Vegeta, while Full-Power Super-Saiyan Gokū can go toe-to-toe and match up with Perfect Cell (who was, at the beginning of the Cell Games, not at full power). So in reality she can easily match up to an opponent with the power and control of a base level Super Saiyan (especially recent, such as Vegeta and the boys when she fought them), but that's about as far as it goes.


[edit] Techniques and special abilities
Hikou: This is the ability to fly in the case of the androids, without ki. As the androids have no ki of their own, they are unable to use bukūjutsu.

Kienzan: The kienzan (a.k.a. the Destructo-Disc) is a razor sharp disk of energy that can slice through nearly any opponent. This is her husband's (Kuririn's) signature technique.

(in the Budōkai games)

Power Blitz: An energy blast fired from the palm of the hand. This is her and 17's signature Death-Move in those games. 
Energy Field: Energy is thrust out from the body in the form of a barriar with great force. A toned-down version is introduced as the Android Barrier in the Budōkai Tenka-ichi series.
