Who is your favorite Android/Jinzoningen?

Post by Nineteen » Sat Mar 19, 2011 3:49 am

*Nods to Pokewhiz7*

You might have guessed it already, but 19 is my favorite, and one of my favorite villains in the series. It might be because I was first exposed to him in the FUNI dub, and while I know a lot of fans take issue with the more mechanized pitch of his voice in that dub, I really like it. I find his appearance to be creepy anyway - a cross between an deranged toddler and a clown - and the voice acting by Phillip Wilburn really helps to reinforce that for me. Shame he got punked out so easily by Vegeta.

Goku: Grr...leave these people out of this!

No.17 and 18, it's hard to choose which one. 18 is cool because she keep a calm face while fighting, and I like her gesture (i.e. pulling her hair before attacking). But I think I will go with 17, he can be quite scary at some moments.

I've always liked #16. His fight with Cell was really cool. Who would've thought that he was actually the strongest of the group?

That was obvious, the quiet guy sleeping in the background is always the strongest :lol:

Ju Nana-go! 8)

Number 17 was by far my favourite, he was so smug and arrogant. His taunts were funny and he looked so gentle, but yet seemed so scary at times. His fight with Piccolo was one of the best fights in anime.

Both #19 and #20. Only these two possessed the Artificial Human threat and are pretty much completely different opponents than those before.

To be honest, it's neither 17 or 18. It's 16. Why?

- He is totally mechanical in his structure. But in disguise.
- He is a robot that has feelings. Naaaaaw.
- He was awesome against 1st form Cell, and quite the hero at the Cell games.
- He nerfed 17 and 18, who could become his bitches (if he wanted to).
- Hell's Flash is one of the coolest and greatest techniques in DBZ's history.
- Mohawk FTW. He pulls it off, in comparison to Kaioshin.
- Earrings FTW. He wears them better than anyone in the series, except for Vegetto.

I'm going to go with #8 on this one. I find the fact that he's a pacifist to be rather endearing, considering the series is so bent on fighting. Sure 16 has a lot of the same traits, but #8 seemed almost kind of cute with it since he lacked 16's stoicism.

Android 16. Pretty much the same reasons Godo listed.

Why am I so surprised that 99% of the repsonces didn't come to this conclusion?

In all seriousness though it would have to be a toss between ethier Dr. Gero or #17 and #18 as equal favourites.

I love how Dr. Gero (although not as an andriod) was the cheif scientist of the Red Ribbon Army and his drive whole drive and vendetta against Goku. I enjoy the irony of this evenutually working against him and failing him. This is the madest irony every produced in a fictional universe. :D

I love #17 and #18 because I am bisexual and find them both very attractive. :p Love the way they look so none threatening, hot and normal and yet underneath this they are mechanical physchopaths bend on destruction. They have the mmost beautiful blue eyes. "#18 because tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiits" but seriosusly #18's seductive nature as a woman makes her all the more sinister and yet charming all the same. I just can't get enough of the way she was capable of making Krillin fall in love with her with this nature. The scene where she kissed him was just halarious and I also enjoy how it was this event that created the formation of Perfect Cell in the series. #17 and #18, they are seriously some of Toriyama's best work.

17 because he whoops ass in almost every encounter, and is one of the few still cool people in GT.

I've never really had a favourite Android, but now, I'll probably go with #17 and #18. They reinforce the idea that bored kids with no real objective in mind can be even more dangerous than the evilest villains in the series, such as Piccolo Daimao and Freeza. Plus, underneath the casual, playful nature, there's an underlying layer of creepiness, especially with those slanted eyes of theirs. I liked the part when #17 reveals that he hadn't even been using half his power in his last battle with Gohan, before proceeding to kill a horrified Gohan.

No, I've just always thought that. We share the same opinion. :)

Easily #8. I love Hatchan and his friendship with Gokuu. His pacifism was pretty interesting, especially with the way it clashed with Gokuu's "rarara kill everything" side, but I liked that he was willing to put it aside long enough to save Gokuu at the last minute. Kind of enforces the idea that there's a time for everything (something I also believe), and proved that he really cared for his friend. I kind of wish Muscle Tower lasted longer so the two of them could have more adventures (along with my fondness for the whole idea of a new challenge on each floor), but I'm probably in the minority on that.

Special mention for #15. I love that drunky in the big hat and yellow suit.

I liked Muscle Tower, but I feel that if it had lasted longer, it may've quickly become boring. Although I do admire #8's friendship with Goku.

9. Novelty. Badassery. Fucking cybernetic pipe. Win!

After him comes 13 cuz his a major badass, and he kinda looks like a red neck.
16 for the same reasons that were listed before by others.
15 because he is funny, I mean, he's got sun glasses, a sombrero looking hat, he's kinda black but actually purple, he's got a bowtie and he drinks from a flask. Funny shit.
