Biography

Android 21 (Japanese: 人造人間21号, Hepburn: Jinzōningen Jū Nijūichi-Gō, lit. "Artificial Human #21") was a female inhabitant of Planet Earth where she was scientist whose past was not entirely known even to herself. It was said that she had been involved with fellow scientist Dr. Gero where the two had a son together who became the basis for the model of Android 16. One account had her claiming that she had been an Earthling converted by Dr. Gero into an Android. However, she was made to be a new type of bio-android that was superior to the likes of Cell where she had the image of a human female with the IQ of an adult. It was noted that she had been in development 10 years ago and went quickly to adulthood to the point that she never experienced an adulthood. The cells of various powerful fighters and even intelligent researchers were added into her being with among these including the cells of Majin Buu.

According to Android 16, at some point, the cells in 21 may have gone berserk, which resulted in her uncontrollable urges to feed. It is likely that Majin Buu's cells may have been responsible. Additionally, Android 21's hunger may be a result of her unique combination of Majin and Saiyan cells, as both Saiyans and Majins are known to have large appetites. Her evil persona may have also been influenced by the combination of cells she acquired from Frieza, Cell, and Kid Buu as her evil side is known to be cold-hearted like Frieza and Cell while showing signs of madness similar to Kid Buu. The evil 21 does not dismiss the idea of galactic conquest which may also be influenced by Frieza's cells.

Overview

Personality and attributes

In appearance, Android was a tall, curvaceous scientist with glasses and long bushy auburn hair.

Android 21 struggled between the two different natures within her that were a good and evil side. The latter of the pair represented her hunger and desire to feed that threatened to overwhelm her.

Her hunger is so great and painful that it has led to Android 21's psyche being damaged and manifesting a split personality. The longer she goes without feeding, the more the evil side of her gains control. When her true persona is in control she acts like a kind and motherly woman who was concerned about Android 18 and agreed to help her. When her evil persona is in control, however, she becomes a sadistic and power-hungry sociopath, wanting to "devour" all the powerful fighters, drawing to the point of near insanity. Her gluttonous lust for "devouring" powerful fighters is similar to the traits of the Majins, inherited when Buu's cells were added to her. Her good side is friendly towards Good Buu presumably due to their shared biology and love of sweets.

Powers and abilities

As an Android, she was an artificial human who had been modified and augmented with the cells of various powerful fighters. These provided her all her superhuman abilities that stemmed from the manipulation of ki to achieve feats such as increased strenght, endurance, flight, and the ability to channel it into energy blasts.

The biggest element of her nature that the Majin Buu cells within her body that drove her desire to feed and grow stronger as a result.

Among the techniques known to her included:

  • Connoisseur Cut (テイスティングカット Teisutingukatto, lit. "Tasting Cut") :
  • Photon Swipe :
  • Total Detonation Ball (アブソリュートリリースボール Abusoryūtorirīsubōru, lit. Absolute Release Ball) :
