[@enitheway]

*Spoiler alert* When #17 says how the lack of the energy sense is an intentional design flaw, I never thought it before that way since Cell has life energy. So #17 and #18 not able to sense is making sure they couldn't escape Cell, and maybe that's why Gero didn't want #16 to be turned on since it could sense life energy - thus later assisting #18 to escape Cell. Like dots are connecting.

[@shekelabductor7370]

That actually makes a lot of sense, holy crap.

[@asianpersuasion4901]

no that wouldn't make sense either. cause cell can also hide his energy like the z-fighters. it's so that the androids have a hard time locating the z-fighters and is used as a "stalling" mechnic. that's how gohan and trunks survives, and that's why it took so long for the androids to find goku in the main timeline until 16 pointed out he knows their personal information and can sense where they are.

[@alastorthedemonslayer4257]

That does makes sense even tho cell could hide his energy it’s better to be more efficient than for harder work and it makes sense for Android 17 & 18 to not being able to sense energy to make it way easier for cell cause think about it put it in geros perspective you are mad with getting revenge and you have had more than +20 years for this revenge plan of yours so naturally you would want it to be as successful and efficient as possible, Gero had no knowledge of the heart virus for Goku so made your plan around dealing with a healthy Goku in mind, all the Z fighters including Goku would be very suspicious on cell’s ki remember in timeline where trunks returned almost everyone was able to pick up on cell’s ki right away and would be draw to it making cell on the run constantly like before which would be even more difficult for cell to obtain the Androids if they could sense energy sure if the Androids were able to sense energy they would be more efficient killers but then again they were rebellious teens not wanting to obey their creator so in order to grantee that power Gero made cell and you can say Androids were plan A and cell was Plan B in case plan A failed or still hasn’t killed Goku and could also be a sick twisted way of getting back at the rebellious cyborg teens for not listening to him and make it a hunting game for cell cause the Androids can’t detect power levels

[@enitheway]

@@asianpersuasion4901 I could argue that Gero wouldn't have known what skills Cell would adapt since he died long before Cell was ready. Gero didn't know about Super Saiyans yet Cell was fully aware of Piccolo's regeneration cells and didn't flinch when Vegeta transformed (if recall, that was the first time in the show Cell battling against transformed Saiyan). Obviously this is overthinking something Toriyama was forced to make as publishers complained. I never truly understood why Gero didn't want #18 to wake #16, the design flaw is kind of vague reason. Also the bomb in #16's chest is kind of pointless reasons since both #17 and #18 have their own. The #17's idea of having a Sunday drive to Goku's place was there to show they are more human than robots - the flaw Gero wasn't able to fix.

[@jonathannoble7845]

Alternatively, Gero might’ve just not figured out how to do it using cybernetic upgrades. Cell could do it because he was cloned from people who could.

Gohan's daddy issues are something TFS made up. In the actual show and the manga, Gohan absolutely idolizes his father. There's always been a debate in the fandom about Goku being a good or a bad father and how Gohan would feel about it I guess Team Four Star thought it'd be a good running joke.

[@jayceebee30]

If I recall correctly Lani came out at one point and said they full on regret putting in the Goku is a bad father jokes as people for some reason kept taking the jokes as canon.

[@anxofernandez3344]

@@jayceebee30 the debate was already there, they just amplified it and some people mistake their abridged version for the original canon. I never understood why Gohan would be mad at Goku, at least not in Namek. Goku had died rescuing him from Raditz, then he came back as soon as he could to rescue him again and after that Gohan went to Namek before Goku was fit and Goku saved his ass from the Gynyu Force and from Frieza. Between the end of the Namek saga and Goku's return I do get why Gohan would be angry, but in the Future of Trunks timeline Goku spent almost 3 years at home before the heart virus killed him. How's dying from a heart attack abandoning your family? I'm actually surprised Gohan doesn't have "mommy issues" in canon with Chichi being the control freak she is.

[@Lexi_Zone]

The people getting angry at you for calling them androids are kinda...wrong, anyway. See, in Japanese they're named _Jinzoningen,_ which means "artificial human". The standard English translation for this term is "android", because...well...that's what it usually means. Dragon Ball's actually a bit of an outlier when it comes to the word, and translating it as "Android #17" and such in English is actually pretty accurate. It's Dr. Gero who's the weirdo for calling them that. That's how they're _named,_ but if you look at their individual descriptions, they're all different. #17 and #18 were both human to begin with and were modified in ways that are never truly explained. Bulma says they're still mostly human, "which is why Cell thinks it can merge with them," and a narration in a chapter cover describes them as having "bio-organic enhancements". So "cyborg" might not be the right descriptor for them either, exactly? The Japanese word for them would be _Kaizoningen,_ meaning "modified human", which does cover cyborgs as well (and is the word used for a lot of Kamen Riders, too). Maybe they're more like...mutants...? It's unclear. Cell is what we in English would probably call a bioroid, a.k.a. a biological android, but "artificial human" works just as well for him in Japanese I suppose? Interesting side note: the word android is defined as "a robot in the shape of a human". The word robot comes from a slavic play about artificial human servants, but they were portrayed more like what we'd call bioroids--artificial, but organic; not clones, but organic beings built on an assembly line. I just think it's interesting because it goes to show that our assumption that something can't be an android if it isn't made of metal doesn't fit with the origin of the word. And with that in mind, maybe someone is still a cyborg if they're only enhanced by "bio-organic" components? **wild shrugging**

[@darkerkyo]

Piccolo: NERD!!

[@asianpersuasion4901]

and it makes sense that they are all called androids, because IF YOU DIDN'T WATCH OG DRAGON BALL, the red ribbon army created full on robots with human emotions, aka ANDROIDS. aka android 8. and the numbers kept going up, and the name "androids" continued, even if they started turning actual humans into robots.

Nobody knows why toryiama called them that some say it sounded cooler others say he didn’t know the difference but there is no reason to say that people who say their not androids is wrong is just stupid.

This is why when people yell "GT ISNT CANON REEEEE" I'm just like bro , technically the Super Anime and Manga are done by two different people, neither are Toriyama, both get guidelines and basic plot points, thats all. ontop of that even in the things Toriyama wrote himself , if Toriyama wakes up on the wrong side of the bed really good scenes and plot points from the series that have been a part of the series for decades can just be retconned.

Lol, there's always a debate between GT and Super. Personally, I like GT a bit more than Super because even though the show still has its silly moments, its more serious and characters are "smarter". Super is good with the scale of what goes on in the story as well as the big difference in power between Goku and a lot of people he meets but, its a lot more like abridged series in how they show Goku as "dumb" plus the power scaling sometimes just doesn't make sense in some situations and some fights though again, the show is still good and was incredibly hype as the episodes were released. There were so many people that gathered in one place to watch them and it was like people gathering to watch a world cup match.

[@gunchar06]

Not even the power scaling in DBZ made much sense(and Jack is completely right, logic and DB are archenemies since pretty much forever) to be frank, and the only thing GT has really over Super was that it tried to be more like OG DB again(at which it failed to be frank).

26:51 GT is basically a filler series as it was made by the direction of the studio , but Toriyama had influence with it and was involved in it , kinda similar to what we have with Super just instead of Toriyama giving creative direction to the studio , he gave it to a fan manga writer. Thats why I really don't think you should get too caught up in the "canon, not canon" thing just treat it as two different iterations of the same story. GT is more of the adventure kinda thing with unique powers and an actually cool transformation. One of its major downsides is instead of taking inspiration from OG dragon ball with the adventure aspect to it , often times it feels like its trying to BE OG dragon ball. Whereas Supers more lacking in the story and character department but has better fights and animation. The argument between super and GT is silly, just enjoy both. However I do think a revised GT with a source material by Toyotaro [the current manga artist for Dragon Ball] would be good. And its not like the dude doesn't have experience with that part of dragon ball, he wrote his own continuation and made his own form in a fan manga Dragon Ball AF which tbh I haven't read but it seemed like an unofficial continuation of GT because it has super saiyan 4. And this was before he was an official artist for the series. I think the coolest way to go about a revised version of GT would be to add elements from super but still keeping GT what it was. But I'd have to go into how super is rn and if anyone who hasn't watched / read stumbles upon this I don't wanna be that guy lol
