When did 18 become so weak

It has been known that androids 17 and 18 are stronger than Super Saiyans. 18 destroyed Vegeta and 17 was even stronger. Yet, in the Buu saga 18 is fighting against Mighty Mask (Trunks and Goten) and they are about even with each other. You would think they would get destroyed by 18.

It also seems that SSj is much easier achieved later in the series, almost like AT just gave up and quit caring

Android 18 was rendered useless the moment when Semi Cell easily demolished Android 16 who was significantly stronger than her at the time and Semi Cell hardly had an active role at all in the series. Originally, both of the Androids were intended on being the final villains of this saga until his editor thought they weren't suitable for that role which explains why they were disregarded in spite of their battle with Vegeta and the Z-Fighters having a significant impact on the fighters even after the fight took place.

She's not even weak. She's has a higher pl than 99.999% of the DB Earth's population atm.

She's smart not to understimate her opponents unlike her brother 17 who thinks he is the strongest fighter period before he got absorbed by Cell.

She basically beat ssj kids in a match @ the tournament. She was just suppressed & the manga & daiz confirms that she did. The equal part of the daiz confirms that the kids were fighting a suppressed 18 equally. But they didn't have a chamce in base tbh.




Actually, 19&20 were going to be the saga's main antagonists before 17& 18. Glad that both of those ideas were scrapped in the present timeline, except 17&18 who are the main antagonists in Trunks's Future. lol

This isn't wrong. She's not awfully weak, just completely overshadowed by the rest of the Z-Fighters.

But didn't she underestimate the SSJ Kids? Posted Image

Gender Neutral.



18 smiles when the kids turned ssj. That just implies that she was suppressed. She also won the fight overall, which implies that the writer wanted to convey that 18>ssj kids, but the kids are strong in shocking her as that is a feat in of itself. lol

The kids definitely were superior to her in Super Saiyan, but since they felt the need to go Super Saiyan in order to beat her, they likely were inferior to her in base.

18 never gave any indication of being fatigued. Super Saiyan Vegeta in the Android Arc sent her through more of a ringer than the base kids did; and even then, she virtually laughed him off.

The vengeance is her's for as long as she stands by Him.
