Link to the wiki page

Lots of other interesting trivia on that page. I can't believe I never realized Videl is an anagram of Devil.

I'd appreciate it even more if someone can send the higher quality image. I wanted to use it as pfp but don't know what episode it's actually from.

I want to run through a little scenario as to how Bulma might be able to rebuild Android 16 after the Cell Games.

Introduction: When it comes to technological prowess in the Dragon Ball universe, few characters can rival the genius of Bulma. Renowned for her ability to create groundbreaking inventions, Bulma's skills are not limited to crafting advanced capsules or developing time-traveling devices. In a remarkable turn of events, we delve into the possibility of Bulma resurrecting Android 16, the gentle and powerful warrior who fought alongside the Z Fighters. Let us explore how Bulma's ingenuity could bring back the beloved android.

The Setup: Following the climactic events of the Cell Games, where the original Android 16 was tragically destroyed while attempting to protect his friends, the Z Fighters and their allies were left mourning the loss of a valiant comrade. However, the brilliance of Bulma offered a glimmer of hope as she pondered the potential resurrection of Android 16.

Scenario: After some time had passed, Bulma gathered the necessary resources and embarked on her mission to rebuild Android 16. Her extensive knowledge of advanced technology and access to a vast network of scientists and engineers provided her with a solid foundation to tackle this ambitious project.

Acquiring the Blueprints: Bulma began by scouring the remnants of Dr. Gero's laboratory, where she managed to uncover crucial blueprints and data pertaining to Android 16's original design. This invaluable information became the cornerstone of her mission.

Analysis and Reverse Engineering: Using her exceptional intellect and expertise, Bulma meticulously analyzed the blueprints, identifying the intricate components and mechanisms that made Android 16 so unique. She worked tirelessly, reverse-engineering the technology and unraveling the secrets behind his immense power and durability.

Procuring Materials: With the blueprint analysis complete, Bulma faced the challenge of acquiring the necessary materials to reconstruct Android 16's physical form. Drawing upon her extensive connections in the scientific community, she sourced rare metals, advanced alloys, and cutting-edge circuitry to ensure the android's resurrection would be a success.

Building from the Ground Up: Equipped with the required materials, Bulma set about constructing Android 16's physical body. She meticulously assembled each component, taking extra care to ensure precision and accuracy in recreating the android's original design. Bulma's engineering prowess and attention to detail were vital in the successful reassembly of Android 16's body.

Powering the Android: Assembling Android 16's physical form was just the beginning. The android's power source needed careful consideration. Bulma designed a state-of-the-art energy core capable of harnessing and amplifying energy in ways similar to the original model. This core would not only provide Android 16 with the strength to protect his allies but also offer improved efficiency and endurance.

Reinstating the Programming: One of the most critical aspects of rebuilding Android 16 was restoring his unique programming. Bulma delved deep into the complex coding, meticulously reconstructing his personality and programming while ensuring vital modifications were made to emphasize peace and protection over combat. This transformation would allow Android 16 to evolve into a guardian of the Earth (happy bird noises).

Conclusion: This is a speculative scenario envisioning how Bulma could potentially undertake the task of reconstructing Android 16 following the conclusion of the Cell Games. As a fan of Android 16, I find the concept of witnessing his reconstruction intriguing.

I would like to explore another hypothetical scenario in the Super series, where Bulma and Dr. Hedo collaborate to rebuild Android 16. I might write it next.

The Kanzenshuu forums did something similar a few years ago: basically creating a new thread at the beginning of each week, 5 episodes per week which users are free to watch at whatever pace they'd prefer, and discuss them. The original post on each thread would contain trivia and facts about each episode.

I think this would be a great way to bring more activity to the community on here, and I'd be willing to help coordinate it, get trivia for the threads, etc. Ideally I think we should start with the original Dragon Ball and go from there.

Dragon ball is near and dear to my heart and deserves to have a Lemmy community. Reddit's Dragon Ball community is great, but an alternate place is needed.

Now that the movie has released theatrically in the United States, feel free to discuss any thoughts or opinions on the film!
