Nobody said anything about an Ass Pull.

I admit, I sometimes forget that 17 and 18, while having mechanical parts, are still mostly human. I just think there's a lot of potential that gets wasted, but I forget that there are in-universe reasons for this.

Still think it'd be good for a fanfic idea.

According to Daizenshuu 7, #8 was also a human cyborg.

1-7 were purely mechanical and full of bugs.

@Saiga No, it was mid-Cell Saga. Krillin brings Bulma the blueprints to make a remote to turn off the Androids and Bulma says that they looked like they were designed to be absorbed by Cell, mentioning that all of the alterations to their bodies were bio-mechanical. The bomb caught her attention because it was the only metal thing in their bodies.

EDIT: I was wrong about the bomb: the shut-off device was the only metal thing in their bodies. Apparently the bomb was also bio-mechanical.

[up]Sorry, canon comes first. You can have whatever fanon you want though, as long as you accept that it's fanon and nothing else.

Fair enough.....

I was gonna say that Yamcha sucks as a joke, but then I remembered I actually hate how the fandom seems to love kicking him while he's down, so I'm just gonna end it here.

Any thoughts on what else might go down in Super?

I wanna see the Kienzan actually beat someone truthfully.

What Bulma could do is patent and sell the infinite energy method to the highest bidder.

Ya know, it's kinda funny how they make this huge thing about Krillin being powered up by Guru only for it to be basically worthless.

Same goes for Gohan, really.

Man, the thought of a pregnant 18 scares the shit out of me. Poor Krillin during those 9 months.

I do wish Krillin and Gohan could have done more when the full-on fighting started. But that's what happens when Goku's around. Everyone else immediately loses their relevance.

Reading up on everything, I just learned that Angered Beerus is him when he's at 70% power. That would explain why Beerus didn't usually have his shining purple aura in DBH before now.

Also, according to this scan, the Saiyan genes within Mira are what helped caused him to become Super Mira.

That means Super Mira is literally Mira as a Super Saiyan. A demonic android with a SSJ form!

[up][up] He's the general of the Red Pants Army (a future version of the Red Ribbon Army), an army trying to bring back equality for Animal People through android-related terrorism. That's where Mrs. Bon (General Bon's wife), Android 9 (aka Cyborg Red), Revived Gero, Android 16 clones, Android 8000 and Android 19000 came from.

They would later work with the Time Breakers to help cause chaos throughout time, which included the creation of Cell-X.

Yeah, is it just me or were there fewer and fewer animal people as DBZ went on?

And that's why the Red Pants Army was formed. Along with Red wanting another reason to rule the world and stuff.

Fact: Retconning 18 and 17 into being mostly human was unnecessary. We would have bought it if they'd just said that 18 still had enough human in her to reproduce.

[up]Fact: it wasn't a retcon. They were revealed to be entirely organic(aside from the shut-off mechanism) when Bulma got the blueprints which was the earliest possible time to clarify that and happened in the same arc they were introduced.

...I'm liking the Super version of the first fight with Beerus more than the movie. He's a little less arrogant, and Goku actually works his way up to SSJ instead of starting at 3.

Man, the thought of a pregnant 18 scares the shit out of me. Poor Krillin during those 9 months.

Holy shit. You gotta point.

...Have either of you ever actually known a pregnant woman in real life?

...Frankly, being pregnant with a Saiyan hybrid sounds worse to me. The food bill would be terrifying. Not even cravings for specific foods, just the amount of food. Because Saiyans need a ridiculous amount of nutrients and calories compared to humans.

I mean. Assuming that she's the type to breastfeed her kids, I feel really bad for Chichi's chichis.

...I hate myself for that joke.

Android 18 doesn't need to eat normally, just drink water, according to the Q&A. So would that have changed during pregnancy or?

It's true, 17 and 18 were retconned into being almost completely human so 18 could give Kuririn a child.

Retconning 18 and 17 into being mostly human was unnecessary. We would have bought it if they'd just said that 18 still had enough human in her to reproduce.

...Well, if Androids 17 and 18 had steel bones then Marron would have had to be delivered by cesarean.

Other than that I don't think it'd be an issue?

EDIT: Actually, a question about Saiyan digestion: how much does Goku poop?

Can Saiga give me an answer to that question? Because near as I can tell, every Saiyan should be shitting basically all the time.
