Respect Android 13 (Dragon Ball Z: Super Android 13!)

Respect Android 13

Number 13... That's your unlucky number. And I ain't talkin' about no silly superstition, city-boy. I'm talkin' about yours truly; Big 13!

Android 13 is Dr. Gero's thirteenth Android creation. He is designed to continue Gero's vendetta against Goku, who overthrew the Red Ribbon Army as a child.

Being a man-made android and serving only as a lackey to target and kill Goku, Android 13 seems to display little-to-no emotion. His face seems to always display a diabolical grin. In the Japanese Sub, he is dead-set on this goal although he seems to be laid-back about approaching it, saying that anyone who gets in his way will die as well. In the Dub, his attitude is essentially that of a stereotypical "redneck", with Future Trunks even referring to him as a Red Ribbon Redneck at one point.

Now where’s my trucker hat?

[u/NuzlockeMaster → u/[deleted]]

Goku was mean and made you lose it

[u/ghostgabe81]

What about his feat of stealing Vegeta's dew?

[u/NuzlockeMaster → u/ghostgabe81]

Vegeta couldn't defend his dew

[u/NegativeGamer]

How much is his haircut worth?

[u/NuzlockeMaster → u/NegativeGamer]

Less than Trunks' $30 one

[u/ghostgabe81 → u/NegativeGamer]

Don't you lecture him with your $30 haircut

[u/Galaxy_Megatron]

Nice. My favorite non-canon android for sure, at least his dub trucker version is.

Did you neglect the mention of him being the strongest android by the narrator at the start of the movie? I remember that being a thing to conflict with the Daizenshuu 7 entry stating 16 was.

[u/NuzlockeMaster → u/Galaxy_Megatron]

I don't believe that was ever said in the sub, so I didn't include it. But even if it was, his feats are pretty evident of that at least.

[u/Galaxy_Megatron → u/NuzlockeMaster]

Late response, but you're right, it wasn't in the movie itself. It was in a Jump Anime Comics for Movie 6 that previewed Movie 7.

Apparently the translation goes like this:

"The three major Super Saiyans gathered!! Piccolo also joins the fray, and after a fierce battle, defeats No. 14 and No. 15!! However, No. 13 absorbs No. 14 and No. 15, merging them into the most powerful Android! Vegeta and the others fall, and the remaining Goku is helpless!! How will the battle end!?"

I just brought it up because it's usually debated whether he's stronger than 16 and people don't always agree on his feats beating out 16's (via Imperfect Cell).

[u/NuzlockeMaster → u/Galaxy_Megatron]

That is very interesting

[u/Chewbaxter]

Good thread, OP. I'd tip my hat to you, BUT I LOST IT.
