Yeah, that was an anime exclusive scene.90sDBZ wrote: ↑Fri Feb 14, 2020 6:04 amI remember the anime had that scene during Trunks' monologue, where it shows Gero from behind, still in human form as he gets killed by the Androids (although the "Androids" look nothing like any of the Androids in that scene). It's interesting because Gero's hair in that scene is already long and white like Android 20's.
I'm guessing this bit wasn't in the manga, and was added into the anime after the revelation had already happened in the manga?

I think that’s the reason. Though, it’s baffling how his hideout wasn’t a mistery for the other scientists.

I mean it's been a while since I read it but, the RRA didn't seem tied to a nation state or even a particular ideology. They seem like a mercenary army. Once the leadership of the RRA had been decimated by Goku and the checks stopped rolling in for the soldiers it makes sense they would move on.
Gero's motives for revenge could be explained by A. His funding from the RRA drying up, thus sabotaging his life's work or B. He's fuckin nuts.

Was the scene of Goku punching 20's hat off and revealing his brain anime filler? If not, then I think that's pretty strong evidence of him planning on him being Gero from the start (or at least, from that moment).

I'd literally never thought of this until now. For some reason I always thought 19 had a real brain too, even though he's stated to be fully mechanical. I just went back to 19's death scene and sure enough his brain is mechanical.Metalwario64 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 14, 2020 1:37 pmWas the scene of Goku punching 20's hat off and revealing his brain anime filler?

I guess the hat scene is a nice subtle hint then.
