Why haven't android 16 been revived?
#17 and #18 were evil at first, but soon gave up their goal in killing Goku. After they got absorbed by Cell, they were revived, but what about #16? Even though it seemed like #16 was much more determined to fulfill his goal in killing Goku, than #17 and #18 (e.g. him not wanting to fight others than Goku, except if it was absolutely necessary), he didn't seem that dangerous. After all, he was willing to participate in the Cell games and helped Gohan achieve ssj2. He cherished other things than fighting, and after the defeat of Cell, he wasn't that big of a threat to the Z-fighters, just as #17 and #18 weren't. So why haven't they revived him?
As a big fan of Dragon Ball, I should be expected to hate the live action movie "Dragon Ball: Evolution", but I don't. I don't like it because of the content, but because it gave us Dragon Ball Super:
"Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime. It seems Dragon Ball has grown on me so much that I can't leave it alone." - Akira Toriyama on Dragon Ball Super.

My guess is since he was a literal Android and not one like 17 and 18 he wasnt revived by an automatic bring back everyone wish.
As to why they havent personally done it....idk.

He was a fully artificial android, and ginger. How are you supposed to revive that?

We've seen Android 8 giving his energy to Goku in the Buu saga, so they could be brought back. However, that other trait automatically negates his chance of coming back.fadeddreams5 wrote:He was a fully artificial android, and ginger. How are you supposed to revive that?

Debatable... because 8 has given energy for the Genkidama.Torturephile wrote:We've seen Android 8 giving his energy to Goku in the Buu saga, so they could be brought back.

I doubt 16 could do it
Re: Why haven't android 16 been revived?
#16 is an artificial construct with no organic soul. I think it was mentioned somewhere, possibly in one of the guidelines, that #8 had a human base so that would account for his being resurrected. What we should also be asking is if Akkuman, Dracula Man, Mummy Man, and Ghost Usher could seemingly be revived after Buu's destruction of the planet, why couldn't #16? All of those creatures are either interdimensional monsters or undead. Why would they be allowed to live, in spite of their questionable characters, when #16 can't be?
