That entire sequence was anime-only filler in the first place. She may have just been off in another part of heaven, or maybe at Grand Kaio's (she is a warrior,after all).

In the manga, we're probably meant to assume she'd end up in heaven like the others, if they ever even got their turn in line at Enma's office. The posse killed by Super Boo at Kami's Temple WERE literally the last dozen or so people from Earth to be killed, so it's likely they never did.

Hadn't she killed plenty of people though? She could have been in Hell. I don't know where the noseless child was though.

She must have gone to heaven. As she's back with Marron and Krillin later and only the good people were brought back.

18 didn't do anything that evil in the first place. Her future counterpart was evil, though they have been shown to be two distinctly different people. (I think this is because in the future her purpose was to defeat Goku, and without Goku around she lost her purpose and degenerated into mindless aggression, but that's for another topic) She never killed anybody in the present timeline.

I say she went to Heaven.

She didn't kill anyone (or do anything as bad as Future 18) in the present timeline, so no reason to ship her to Hell.
Next quest: Buy the Super: Broly and Super Hero Blurays, also Daima whenever that releases in the states. Also the Super Manga!

I totally agree with this.

This topic wants to me to ask this little question that has always tortured me: We know that Vegeta that we know from the buu saga wasn't allowed to go to Heaven because he had killed so many inecent lives, but did the Vegeta we know from GT go to Heaven?

Probably. One of the wishes they made at the end of Z was to bring everyone back to life, "except for the bad guys." Vegeta, to his own surprise, was also brought back by this wish, so it's likely that the cosmos doesn't see him as a bad guy anymore. Unless the dragons and the cosmos disagree...

Maybe she didn't want to be with Bulma, Chichi and Videl. Has #18 actually spoken to either one of them at least once in the series.

Vegeta was deemed bad enough to go to Hell by Lord Enma. Maybe it was just Porunga who thought that Vegeta wasn't a bad guy, or that it was the events leading up then that showed Vegeta to be a good guy.

Yeah, I think it's most likely that as well.
