There's also that possibility.
Anything Tien can dodge, 17 can dodge. 17 is much faster than Tien. However, what Tien can do and 17 cannot do is sense the attack coming for him.

18 knows how to sense energy in Yo! Son Goku and Friends Return.
Maybe 17 dodged it.
I think it's harder to dodge the planet blowing up.
Or, maybe he survived that too with an energy barrier. With his limitless amount of energy. The Earth gets wished back an hour later and he's still in his park.
We don't know.
We know that after the Earth and people come back he's ranging a park.
EDIT: 17's energy can't be sensed, so would he even have been one of Buu's targets? Would Buu have known where 17 was and to send a blast at him?
His zoologist wife and their kids probably died, but.

That is what I am thinking. I think 17 didn't need to dodge because Buu simply did not shoot at him. He was probably just having a perfectly normal day ranging his park until he suddenly noticed people all over died for no reason. Hell, considering how fast everything happened, 17 might not even have noticed anything was wrong until the planet exploded.
Hey!
Oooooh

I like that. You both should get cookies.
Oh shit. So it's possible he never even knew his wife and kids were killed until the planet blew up. Or maybe he did. Who knows.
Man. These are the stories that need to be written.

One Strip! One Strip!But the Z Fighters explicitly couldn't sense any of the Androids, 17 included. He just doesn't have a ki signature. It's... one of those things.

said.
And yeah, I assume 17 was alive until the planet done gone bursted.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!I think it's another thing Toriyama probably hasn't given much thought to.
Logically, 17 would have died when the earth was destroyed, unless he really could create a barrier that can not only withstand the explosion, but also hold enough air to keep them alive as well......but then Buu likely would have seen him and killed him anyway.
I supposed we'll have to wait for Forgetful Toriyama to tell us what really happened so we can all say he's wrong.

It didn't kill Tenshinhan because he saw it coming and dodged it. I guess Lapis just didn't see it coming.
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!
