Android 21 is a tall, curvaceous scientist with long, bushy auburn hair, glasses, and black nails. She wears a blue and red checkered minidress, black tights, detached arm sleeves, and mismatched blue and red ankle heel boots. She also dons a lab coat and a gold ring on her left middle finger. Her eyes resemble those of other Androids, like Android 18.

In her true form, her skin turns pink, her hair becomes white with a pink tint, her ears grow pointed, and she gains a tail. She wears a black tube top, gold bracelets, black boots, and white baggy pants, resembling a Majin. Her eyes change depending on her moral alignment, with her good side retaining human-like eyes, while her evil side shows Majin-like eyes.

Despite her mature appearance, she reveals she is less than ten years old.

Android 21’s personality is shaped by her overwhelming and compulsive hunger, which mirrors Majin Buu’s, as she craves sweets but struggles to control the urge to turn others into treats. Her inability to manage this hunger creates a split personality. Her good side is kind, motherly, and compassionate, while her evil side is sadistic, power-hungry, and driven by a lust to devour powerful fighters.

The good side shows affection toward Android 16, treating him like a son due to her human template being his mother. She is thoughtful and reflective about her past, though she has limited memories of her former human life. The good side values family and relationships, unlike her evil counterpart, who dismisses such bonds and views others as mere tools for her hunger or conquest, possibly influenced by Frieza’s DNA. The evil side is selfish, bratty, and views everyone beneath her, creating clones of the Z Fighters and villains solely for consumption.

Eventually, Android 21’s personalities physically split into two beings. The good 21 sacrifices herself, fearing her hunger would one day take control, while her evil side mocks her good counterpart, believing she would eventually succumb. The good 21’s selflessness reflects traits passed down from her adoptive son, Android 16.

Android 21’s life and backstory are complex and shrouded in mystery, with varying accounts of her origins. She believes she may have been a human transformed into an android by Dr. Gero, possibly modeled after the mother of Android 16’s template, though she lacks clear memories of her human life. Another theory suggests she is a new type of bio-android, superior to Cell, created with the cells of powerful warriors and researchers, including Majin Buu, Frieza, and the Z Fighters. This combination of cells gave her extreme power, intelligence, and a compulsive hunger similar to that of Majin Buu, which eventually led to her developing a split personality.

As her cells went berserk, her hunger became uncontrollable, driving her evil side to take over and seek to devour powerful fighters. This split personality caused an internal battle between her good side, which was kind and motherly, and her evil side, which was sadistic, power-hungry, and interested in galactic conquest. Android 21’s hunger for powerful beings, combined with the cells of Saiyans and Majins, made her gluttonous and dangerous, especially when her evil persona was dominant.

In her good state, Android 21 repaired Android 16, treating him like family due to her human connection to his template. However, her evil side manipulated him and ultimately killed him in her blind hunger, an act that devastated her good persona. Her hunger also led her to create evil clones of powerful warriors like the Z Fighters, Frieza, Cell, and others, intending to consume them to increase her power.

Android 21’s story unfolds across several arcs in Dragon Ball FighterZ. In the Super Warrior Arc, she poses as a researcher and hides her true intentions, but eventually, her evil persona emerges, leading to a confrontation with Goku, the Z Fighters, and resurrected villains. She is ultimately defeated by Goku’s Super Spirit Bomb.

In the Enemy Warrior Arc, Android 21 uses the Namekian Dragon Balls to revive Frieza, Cell, and others, creating clones to feed her hunger. She manipulates them, but the villains, including Frieza, eventually team up with the Z Fighters to stop her. After consuming her clones, she is defeated in a combined attack by Goku, Frieza, and Cell.

In the Android 21 Arc, her good persona works with Android 16, 17, and 18 to fight clones, but her evil side grows stronger. After the death of Android 16 at her own hands, Android 21 becomes consumed by grief, allowing her good side to resurface briefly. Ultimately, she sacrifices herself to stop her evil side from taking over permanently, ensuring the safety of her allies.

Android 21’s tragic struggle with her dual personalities, her insatiable hunger, and her connection to Android 16’s template as a motherly figure form the heart of her complex character arc, blending scientific genius with emotional turmoil.

Android 21 is one of the most powerful androids in Dragon Ball, created from the cells of numerous warriors, scientists, and other life forms. Her immense strength rivals or surpasses that of major villains like Cell and Majin Buu. Her power is largely due to her ability to absorb other life forms and increase her strength, much like Majin Buu. She does this by turning her victims into sweets and consuming them, which allows her to continuously grow stronger.

In the Super Warrior Arc of Dragon Ball FighterZ, Android 21 easily overpowers Cell without even using half of her full strength. Despite being inhibited by energy-suppressing waves, she is still strong enough to defeat powerful characters like Nappa, the Ginyu Force, and Final Form Frieza. After absorbing these characters, her power grows exponentially, but she is ultimately defeated by the combined efforts of Super Saiyan Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo, and others. Vegeta notes that had he not been suppressed by the waves, he might have been able to defeat her on his own.

In the Enemy Warrior Arc, even with the waves limiting her, Android 21’s power in her base form is strong enough to shock Krillin. She absorbs numerous clones of powerful fighters to grow stronger but is eventually destroyed by a coordinated attack from Final Form Frieza, Super Saiyan Goku, and Perfect Cell.

In the Android 21 Arc, Android 21 fights alongside Android 17, 18, and 16, and despite being under the effects of the waves, she is still able to defeat a powered-up version of Cell.

Android 21 is described by Android 16 as having more potential than Cell and being far stronger. Her ability to endlessly increase her power through feeding makes her extremely dangerous, as her hunger can drive her to seek out and consume the most powerful beings in existence. Her dangerous combination of strength and insatiable hunger is her greatest asset and threat.

According to guidebooks and authors, Android 21 is capable of competing with the strongest fighters in the Dragon Ball series, and in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, she acknowledges that Android 18 is initially stronger but notes that she will soon surpass her.

Android 21 is a bio-android with a complex mix of cells from various powerful fighters, including Saiyans, Namekians, Majins, and Frieza’s race. Her abilities and techniques reflect this genetic diversity, making her an incredibly versatile and formidable opponent.

Abilities:

1.	Flight: She can fly using ki, a basic skill for powerful fighters.
2.	Ki Blast: Her standard energy attack, capable of launching destructive energy from her hands.
3.	Tail Attack: In her true form, Android 21 can extend and attack with her tail, a trait likely due to a combination of cells from Frieza’s race, Namekians, and Majins.
4.	Hungry Beam: Android 21 can turn people into food using a specialized energy attack. This is similar to Majin Buu’s ability.
•	Sweet Tooth: In Dragon Ball FighterZ, she turns an opponent into dessert and regains health after taking a bite. If the move finishes the opponent, she consumes them completely.
5.	Absorption: Android 21 can absorb others to increase her power. She can turn enemies into food and gain strength by eating them, similar to Majin Buu and Cell.
6.	Connoisseur Cut: This move allows her to absorb ki from her opponent and temporarily gain access to their abilities. She can store up to four moves from a pool of eight, depending on the enemy’s characteristics.
7.	Regeneration: Thanks to her Majin and Namekian cells, she possesses powerful regenerative abilities, allowing her to heal from significant damage quickly.
8.	Survivability: With cells from fighters like Frieza and Buu, Android 21 is highly resilient, enduring attacks that would kill most others.
9.	Fission: Android 21 can split herself into two distinct entities—one good and one evil. This process, inherited from her Majin cells, leaves her evil half with most of her power.

Techniques:

•	High-Heeled Ki Slash: A ki-based attack used in Xenoverse 2.
•	Tail Surprise Attack: She can manipulate her tail to erupt from the ground, catching opponents off guard.
•	Solar Flare: A powerful blinding technique, mimicked from Krillin.
•	Kamehameha: A powerful energy beam she can use after absorbing enemies connected to Goku. She can also use the Majin version of this move, which is pink.
•	Instant Transmission: Android 21 can teleport instantly across vast distances, having mimicked this ability from Goku.
•	Total Detonation Ball: A large ki blast that detonates on impact, causing significant damage. In its stronger form, Absolute Release Ball, this attack can destroy even strong androids like Android 16.
•	Photon Swipe: A beam attack similar to Death Beam but with explosive effects.
•	Excellent Full Course: A high-speed combination attack, followed by a ki blast to finish off her opponent.

Forms & Transformations:

1.	Normal Form: Android 21 appears as a human woman with auburn hair, glasses, and a lab coat. This form is tied to her “good” personality and intellect.
2.	Transformed Form: Her true, Majin-like form, where she has white hair, red eyes, and pink skin. In this form, her evil personality takes control, and her power is significantly enhanced.
3.	Transformed (Good): Android 21’s good side can also transform into a similar Majin form but with blue eyes, maintaining control of her better nature.
4.	Villainous Mode: In this state, she gains a black-and-white aura and glowing eyes, increasing her power and aggression.

Unique Equipment:

•	Power Suppression Wave Machine: A device Android 21 controls that can weaken fighters with high power levels.
•	Soul Link System: Technology that allows souls to possess and control other bodies, developed by Dr. Gero.
•	Cloning Technology: Android 21 has access to technology that can clone powerful fighters like Goku, Vegeta, and Frieza, though the clones are often mindless and used as food for her hunger.

Android 21’s abilities make her a dangerous adversary, capable of both direct combat and manipulating others through absorption and cloning. Her insatiable hunger and mental instability, driven by her Majin cells, add to her unpredictability and power.

Android 21 shares similarities with various characters in the Dragon Ball universe and beyond:

•	She resembles Towa, another intelligent and attractive female scientist created by Akira Toriyama. Both are video game antagonists and wear similar outfits featuring a high-neck minidress and white lab coat.
•	Arale Norimaki also bears a resemblance to Android 21, as both are incredibly powerful female androids capable of taking on fighters like Vegeta and Goku. Both wear glasses, though Android 21 only does so in her human form.
•	Like Launch, Android 21 is an attractive woman with mixed personalities. Both characters initially appear as antagonists before becoming protagonists, and they were both designed by Toriyama.
•	Her insatiable hunger mirrors that of King Gurumes after his mutation by the Blood Rubies in Dragon Ball: Curse of the Blood Rubies.
•	Android 21’s evil personality is akin to Moro, as both see other beings as mere food. However, while Moro absorbs life energy from beings and planets, Android 21 consumes them by turning them into food, often using fast-growing artificial clones.
•	In her Lab Coat variant’s Level 3 Super move, Android 21 strikes a pose that closely resembles Dio Brando from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure.
