#16 should be alive in Super

[coola]

If Arale was revived afer Kid Buu destroyed Earth, #16 should also be alive, they are both Androids

[Araki]

The wish wasn't about people/androids/whatever who died 7 years earlier, so that makes no sense.

[coola]

Yes, but after Cell Games, they made wish "To bring back to live everyone killed by Cell" That wish should bring 16 back too.

Arale's gag force is too strong, she didn't die, she was just floating in space.

Let me hit you with some strong headcanon:
16 was destroyed by Cell, but was not alive, as he was a robot. The wish to bring everyone killed by Cell back to life did not affect robots, as robots aren't alive, and 16 remained destroyed.
Arale, Eighter and any other robots were destroyed by the planet's destruction (Kid Buu). They count as parts of the planet, much like houses and other constructions, so the wish to restore the planet also restored these robots to the state they were in before the planet's destruction, and that state was "functional". 16 was also restored to the state he was in before the planet's destruction, and that state was "destroyed".

That is a pretty solid theory, I would have accepted it as the real deal if you didn't mention this as a head canon..

[DragonBallLove]

There's no "real deal", as no guide or any official source has said anything about.
A headcanon is just a theory you believe in. Don't dismiss it per se.

Well, I have to mention it. I couldn't find anything wrong with the theory, but I did come up with it myself, so it is headcanon. That doesn't mean it's automatically wrong, I just can't sell it as an official explanation.

That's a really good theory. And it would certainly explain why Android 8 was also revived too.

Eighter is a cyborg just like #17 and #18 plus the wish during the Majin Boo Saga was to restore Earth to how it was before Kid Boo destroyed it and #16's already been destroyed for quite some time now. Besides, I'd rather his sacrifice actually mean something rather than him be revived just to be thrown to the sideline.

Yes, but after Cell Games, they made wish "To bring back to live everyone killed by Cell" That wish should bring 16 back too.

But they said to wish back whoever Cell killed back to life and #16 technically wasn't alive to begin with.
