Does #18 ever age?

Discussion, generally of an in-universe nature, regarding any aspect of the franchise (including movies, spin-offs, etc.) such as: techniques, character relationships, internal back-history, its universe, and more.

I think it was stated somewhere that he programmed Android 19 to do it
I think that was just something naturally inferred by everyone, because it would seem very logical. I just flipped through my manga from the time Bulma identifies Dr. Gero to the time Dr. Gero releases #17 and #18 and could find the statement.

Well...she does love him. And about that first "opportunity", which I'm assuming your reference is to Kuririn's later deaths, he just defended himself to Super Buu for his family. Then 18's killed about 20 seconds later. What opportunity would she get, a Vegas wedding with Mr. Satan or Tien? Her reaction to his death in GT, as it was her own brother that did it, showed the extents of her feelings for him for the first time. That's something GT can do right sometimes, expand upon something established in DBZ, but heighten it to a much more fantastic level. Granted these moments are rare, but when it happens such as for Kuririn's last (onscreen) death, it's truly emotional. Certainly enough for me to include it in this.

Okay, don't get violet!
That's what I was wondering. I was just wondering if there was ever a statement that said she'd never die of old age or something that inplied it.
sorry :oops:
