~ Android 17 while apparently sacrificing himself to save Goku and Vegeta from Jiren. |
Android 17 is one of the two secondary antagonists (alongside Android 18) of the Android Saga and a minor character in the remainder of Dragon Ball Z as well as a major supporting character in Dragon Ball Super. Initially going with his older twin sister, Android 18 to wreck havoc and fighting the Z Warriors, he redeemed himself and fought Cell, as well as becoming a ranger.
He is voiced by Shigeru Nakahara in Japanese and Chuck Huber in English.
His Good Ranking[]
What Makes Him Admirable?[]
- Protected 16 and 18 several times against Dr. Gero.
- Killed Dr. Gero, who used his inventions to terrorize the planet and kidnapped them to perform experiments.
- Helped Piccolo and 16 fight Cell.
- After Cell was killed, 17 redeemed himself and became a park ranger.
- Started a family and adopted 2 children.
- Saved the wildlife reserve from several poachers attempting to kill the animals for greed.
- Accepted Goku's proposal to join the Tournament of Power.
- Saved Android 18 from Anilasa.
- Saved Frieza from being eliminated by Toppo.
- Attempted to sacrifice himself to save Goku and Vegeta from getting ringed out by Jiren, and even though he survived it, he was not sure he will do so.
- Helped Frieza and Goku ring out Jiren in order to save Universe 7.
- Despite initially wanting to wish for a boat, 17 later wished for the erased universes to be revived. This act also indirectly saved the multiverse from Zeno as he determined that mortals can truly be virtuous if given a chance.
What Makes Him Inconsistent?[]
- Has too much pride upon his own power, even after Cell absorbed him.
- Is lethal towards his enemies despite some of them not being able to harm him.
- Even though fighting for a good cause in Super, he still walks a very thin line of being an Anti-Hero, as he changed little in terms of personality.
- Mocked his enemies in the Tournament of Power.
