Android No. 13 (人造人間１３号, Jinzōningen Jūsan-Gō; FUNimation "Android 13") is an Android created by Dr. Gero, a scientist in the Red Ribbon Army, and was the primary villain of Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Battle!! The Three Great Super Saiyans. Similarly to many androids before and after, No. 13 was created for the purpose of exacting his revenge on Goku. Ultimately, Android 13 met his end at the hands of the very man he was created to destroy.

Personality

Android 13 showed the most personality from all of his allies, he unlike the rest showed to ability to autonomous show more personality, rather than having Gero's supercomputer act for him with commands. No. 13 was ruthless, unsympathetic, merciless, and sadistic in his approach of his prime objective to kill Goku. Android 13 showed the same level as ruthlessness to anyone who would impede on his goals.

In his heightened form, Android 13 becomes as silent as Android 14 and Android 15, no longer speaking.

Abilities

No. 13 using a Kikōha from the Fingertips.

Despite the fact that his designation indications he's a relatively early model compared to the No. 16, 17, and 18, No. 13 proved to be a very powerful Android creation. He showed multiple times that he was able to fight on par with both base form and Super Saiyan Goku. As an Android, his Ki cannot be sensed, and he uses artificially created Ki as opposed to living Ki to utilize techniques. Like other Androids, No. 13 has a scanner built in that allows him to analyze the abilities and weaknesses of enemies.

As he is an Android, No. 13 has shown that he does not need to breathe, unique because of his artificial body, and he is waterproof, fighting Goku underwater without being encumbered by the watery surroundings or a need for oxygen.

After powering up to his super form, Android 13 easily overpowers Goku, Trunks, Vegeta, and Piccolo (the former three as Super Saiyans), and can withstand their attacks. Thanks to his adamantine armor, it had caused Trunks' sword to shatter like a mirror upon impact.

Merged Android No. 13

He achieved this form after the deaths of Android 14 and Android 15. Their parts (Dr. Gero's fail-safe device) infused into him which causes him to undergo a massive transformation. His power skyrockets, and he was able to overpower the Dragon Team.

Trivia

• Android 13's dialogue was censored in the original FUNimation version, as he spoke more crassly in the uncut FUNimation dub.
• While having the most personality between Android 14 and Android 15, and himself, Android 13 had no defining personal characteristics in the original Japanese. The FUNimation dub would give him a redneck demeanor to match his appearance.
• In Chapter 350, Android 18 states that Gero disposed of all the androids he created up through Android 15.

Japanese

(To Son Gokū) "Now, I can't believe that the great Goku is catching an ass whooping from those boys! If he can't even handle the Indians, why bring out the Chief?" (To Trunks) "Free will. Pitiful humans! War, segregation, hatred! Is that what you've done with your free will, boy? Don't you lecture me with your thirty dollar haircut! Goku dies!" (To Gokū) "Number 13, that's your unlucky number. And I ain't talking about no silly superstition, city boy, I'm talking about yours truly, big 13!"

(to Goku "Not even Goku is able to fight the way he hoped, it would seem."\ (to Trunks) "Kid, our only objective is to kill Son Goku. However, if you get in our way, that's another story! We will kill anyone who defends Goku!"
