Future Android 18

, once , is the alternate timeline counterpart of Android 18. More cruel than the one seen in the main timeline, she is bent on doing nothing but destroying, killing, and sometimes clothes shopping. Along with her brother Future Android 17, she serves as one of the main antagonists of Dragon Ball Z: The History of Trunks.
==Appearance==
Future Android 18's petite form and beautiful face hide her massive strength. She has shoulder-length blonde hair (which, according to her, is artificial and cannot grow back), blue eyes, and hoop earrings in both ears. She keeps the left side of her hair behind her ear. When she is first activated by Gero, and throughout her entire life, she wears a blue denim vest and skirt (with the Red Ribbon logo on the back of the jacket) with dark blue tights, brown boots, and a black undershirt that has white and black striped sleeves. Interestingly, during her final confrontation against Trunks, her denim vest lacks the Red Ribbon logo on the back.
In Dragon Ball Super, during the flashback where Future Trunks destroys them both in his own time (seen in Free the Future), her denim vest and skirt became medium blue and her tights became black to match her black undershirt with white and black striped sleeves.
Prior to their reign of destruction, she briefly tries on clothes during shopping. Android 18 can be seen wearing a red dress, and some fashionable business attires like her main timeline self wore in Dragon Ball GT. She wears a light blue business suit jacket with a pink short sleeve shirt, light blue formal pants and red flats. The color of her outfit contrasts with her main timeline self's, whose outfit is purple. Lastly is a dark pink turtleneck shirt with a white vest, black pants and red flats. This outfit is her main timeline self's first outfit in Dragon Ball GT but without the vest and her turtleneck shirt appears to be red instead of dark pink. When she wears these outfits her blue eyes changed to red.
Before wearing these outfits, she picks out a qipao, as seen in History of Trunks. Unlike her main timeline self, she seems to like them.
==Personality==
Future Android 18 is the true embodiment of a sociopath. Amoral, self-entitled, and remorseless, she lives purely for her own pleasure and personal interests, not caring how her actions affect others. She is also equally murderous and sadistic, finding much joy in killing and destruction and reveling in making others struggle to survive. She is so void of shame that she can casually kill bystanders and then immediately enjoy amusement park rides. This makes her a polar opposite to her main-timeline counterpart, who, when introduced to the series, initially only desired to kill Goku, but otherwise would only fight in self-defense and showed no actual interest in killing people. Even more, while her counterpart learned to appreciate companionship and a simple lifestyle with family (albeit still very materialistic and likewise with a somewhat cold demeanor), Future Android 18 became someone with no true compassion for anyone. She truly believed herself to be a superior being to humans and regarded all others as disposable toys for her amusement. According to her and Future Android 17, their personalities are the direct result of Future Dr. Gero's attempts at programming them to hate humans as part of his bid to conquer the world. It is likely that upon hearing that Goku had died in the future timeline, Gero changed his focus from killing Goku to simple destruction.
The only thing she seemed to enjoy besides carnage and death was material gain (which her counterpart also desired, albeit to a lesser degree). She is very vain when it comes to her appearance. When Future Trunks used his sword to slice off a piece of her hair, she responded angrily (in the English Funimation dub only). She enjoys admiring herself in the mirror while modeling different clothing, showing a measure of her former humanity from her interest in fashion. Likewise, she enjoys others complimenting her beauty, enough to actually spare them. Despite her cruel nature, Future 18 has a measure of self-restraint, such as scolding her brother for murdering a salesman she intended to let live and for him killing a boy she found attractive. She considers it important to follow through on any threats or promises she or 17 makes, for practical reasons rather than moral ones.
Regardless of any lingering humanity she and her brother have, Future Android 18 consistently shows herself to be beyond redemption, completely unmoved by the anger of Future Gohan or Future Trunks. They will even nonchalantly mock the protectors about all their struggles and losses. They are also known to be unfair in combat, helping each other when one is overwhelmed in one-on-one combat. They have no interest in dragging out the battle, fully intent on finishing their foe before they can escape and heal. She also has a bit of short temper and superiority complex, always assuming that her foes are not a challenge for her, and likewise will completely lose her composure should they start pressuring her.
Unlike her counterpart who was attracted to Krillin and ultimately married and had a daughter with him, due to her programming to hate humanity, Future Android 18 viewed Future Krillin no differently than the countless other Humans she hunted and killed.
In spite of this malevolence, Future 18 exhibits genuine fear should she face an opponent whose craving for murder and destruction vastly surpasses her and her brother's own on a universal scale. In Xenoverse 2's Infinite History Saga, when the Future Warrior selects Broly as their partner, after he maliciously branded Android 13 a "weakling", powers up, and explodes with insanity, Future 18 calls him a "monster", showing how measly her cruelty and apathy was compared to the sadism of the Legendary Super Saiyan. 
==Biography==
===Background===
Future Lazuli and Future Lapis' lives are exactly the same as their mainstream counterparts: they were notorious delinquents, until Future Dr. Gero kidnapped them and transformed them into his androids. They rebel against him, only for the mad scientist to shut both of them down. They had to wait for his ultimate creation to finish so that one day, it would absorb the siblings and become the perfect fighter. Six months after the death of Goku in Age 766, Future Android 17 and Future Android 18 are released by Future Dr. Gero to kill Goku as part of his plot for revenge but the two of them killed him.
===Dragon Ball Z===
====Cell Saga====
In "Ghosts from Tomorrow", Future Android 18 makes a cameo during a flashback as Future Trunks mentions to Cell how the Androids have caused devastation and destruction in his timeline, killing any vulnerable human that gets in their way. The Androids proceed to kill the Z fighters one by one, leaving only Future Gohan and Future Trunks as the only warriors left to face them.
Future Gohan tells Future Trunks to stay back as he's about to fight the Androids. In the flashback, Gohan battles with Android 18 first, and is punched several times before he is kicked into a nearby building. Future Trunks then steps in for Future Gohan as Future Android 18 prepares to fire a blast at Future Gohan but is quickly blasted away after he slashes a few strands of her hair with his sword. Future Gohan then knocks away Future Android 18, but Future Android 17 quickly intervenes knocking Future Gohan into a rockpile. Future Android 18 then fires a blast at Future Gohan, but Future Gohan quickly dodges it, flies up and uses his Masenko, blinding the Androids.
After the attack, the Androids quickly emerge out of rubble. They realize that Future Gohan and Future Trunks have hidden somewhere within their vicinity, so they decide to blow up the area to draw them out of hiding. The next scene shows Gohan and Trunks charging at the Androids, but nothing beyond this is seen other than a large explosion and Trunks' narrative describing his mentor's death and how he was the only one to survive against them forcing his mother to invent a time machine so he can travel back in time to alter the events that happened in his future.
Trunks finally returns to his own time after the defeat of Cell in the main timeline, and with his training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, knows he has more than enough power to finally kill the androids. While the androids are attacking Parsley City, Future Android 18 vents a lot of anger by destroying some terrain, furious with Future Android 17 for killing a boy she thought was cute (she is angry about losing a video game in the Japanese and Kai dubs). Shortly afterwards, Future Trunks arrives, declaring that he is going to cause their end. Future Android 17 insists on just playing with Future Trunks instead of killing him, but Future Android 18 furiously attacks him, only to prove no match for his newfound power. Future Android 17 soon joins the fight. The two attempt to attack the mighty Super Saiyan. Trunks effortlessly dodges and blocks both of their hits, and eventually singles out Future Android 18, whom he obliterates with a powerful attack. Her brother is blown up and destroyed by Future Trunks right after her.
===Dragon Ball Super===
In a flashback in the "Bonus Story" chapter of the Dragon Ball Super manga, Future Androids 17 and 18 are shown fighting the Z Fighters. Future 18 fires her High-Pressure Energy Wave as her brother observes.
===="Future Trunks" Saga====
She and her brother appeared in flashbacks of Future Trunks' retelling of how he killed the Androids in his timeline to Trunks, comparing her to her kinder present counterpart. She and her brother's spirits were destroyed when Future Zeno erased the future timeline. However, their spirits still exist in the new timeline created by Whis and inadvertently, Beerus.
===Super Dragon Ball Heroes===
====Supreme Kai of Time Saga====
An incarnation of Future Android 18 appears as one of the competitors in the Super Space-Time Tournament, along with Androids 13, 14, 15, and 19.
In the manga, the version of Android 18 present on Team 7 during the Super Space-Time Tournament appeared to be an incarnation of Future Android 18. Team 7's Androids 17 and 18 teamed up to battle Goku, even managing to push him to Super Saiyan Blue. They were defeated when Xeno Goku came to assist his counterpart. As a result of her team failing to advance to the second round of the tournament, Future Android 18 and her space-time were erased.
==Film Appearances==
====The History of Trunks====
Future Androids 18 and 17 head off to Amenbo Island, and they begin their reign of destruction. Soon after, coming to the defense of the inhabitants, the Dragon Team challenge the ruthless killing machines. Future Android 18 kills Future Piccolo with a powerful kick to the abdomen, Future Tien Shinhan with a punch to his gut followed by a High-Pressure Energy Wave, and Future Yajirobe by breaking his katana before killing him with a High-Pressure Energy Wave too (this is a coincidence given the fact that Android 18 breaks Future Trunks' Sword as well). The androids kill Future Vegeta, Future Yamcha, Future Krillin, and Future Chiaotzu as well. The Z Fighters are unable to be wished back to life as the Dragon Balls become permanently unusable due to Future Piccolo's death, which also kills Future Kami.
Thirteen years later, in Age 780, the androids continue to cause havoc across the Earth, killing off more than half of the planet's population. Future Gohan (the only surviving Z Fighter from thirteen years ago and now a Super Saiyan) and Future Trunks fly over Super World, an amusement park being attacked by the androids. Gohan instructs Trunks to stay out of the fight, and proceeds to battle Android 17. Gohan (as a Super Saiyan) seemingly gains the upper hand, and Android 18 is forced to step in and help her brother in battle. Trunks rushes in only to be quickly defeated by Android 18. However, before she can deliver the finishing attack to Trunks, Android 18 is attacked by Gohan, who saves Trunks and attempts to hide in the ruins of the park. In an attempt to draw them out of hiding, the androids bomb the entire area. Gohan and Trunks remain hidden, but at the cost of Gohan's left arm, which is blown off in the bombing.
One day, the androids attack Pepper Town, a city close to where Gohan and Trunks are resting. Gohan ambushes the androids and the battle begins. Despite his handicap, Gohan is able to fight off both of the androids for a short time. However, he is soon quickly overwhelmed and is knocked down into the street. The androids then proceed to launch a barrage of energy blasts like machine guns from the sky, which kills Gohan. The two fly off, and Trunks awakes when his mentor's life force disappears. Trunks finds Gohan's corpse in a pool of bloody water. The loss of his best friend causes his anger to explode, and he transforms into a Super Saiyan.

Three more years pass, now in Age 783, Future Trunks finds himself the only warrior left capable of defeating the androids. One day, in a fit of rage, Trunks decides to head off and attempts to defeat the androids who are attacking Bridgetown. However, upon his arrival, the androids quickly dominate him. They then begin to toy with the young warrior, swatting and kicking him around effortlessly. To finish him off, Android 18 prepares a large energy blast which she launches at Trunks. However, he survives, and later uses a Time Machine to head off 20 years into the past to warn Goku and the others of the impending android threat.
==Other Dragon Ball Stories==
===Xenoverse===
In an altered timeline of Age 783, Future 18 and her brother are empowered with Dark Magic by Towa in a bid to erase Xeno Trunks from existence by having them kill his younger self. As a result, Xeno Trunks' existence becomes ephemeral, causing him to slowly fade from existence in Age 850, as Future 18 and 17 kill his past self. Chronoa sends the Future Warrior to Age 783 in Future Trunks' timeline to ensure Future Trunks survives the encounter. Together with the Future Trunks of that point in history, the Future Warrior manages to drive off 18 and her brother off. However Towa reveals she made a second history change to Trunks' timeline, to ensure that, if the Time Patrol managed to fix one, they would not be able to find and/or fix the other in time, leading to Xeno Trunks to fade from existence completely. However, Demon God Demigra, whose mirage managed to escape from the Crack of Time due to time distortions caused by the Time Breakers, aids the Future Warrior in traveling to the second change to as part of his own evil plans.
In the second history change created by Towa, Future Cell is completed before Age 786 and empowered by Dark Magic. This allows him to absorb both Future 17 & 18 and achieve his Perfect form in Trunks' Timeline. Dark Perfect Cell confronts Future Trunks just as he is returning to his own time following the Cell Games. Fortunately, the Future Warrior is transported to Age 785 in time to assist Future Trunks in combating Dark Perfect Cell. Dark Perfect Cell is destroyed by the combined might of Future Trunks and the Future Warrior, resulting in the deaths of Future 17 & 18 whom he had absorbed, bringing peace to Future Trunks' timeline and restoring that part of the original history (though Future Cell is killed in three years).
===Xenoverse 2===
In Xenoverse 2, Trunks: Xeno witnesses Future Gohan's final battle with Future 17 & 18 via the Scroll of Eternity for Age 780 of his timeline and his first transformation into a Super Saiyan following his discovery of Future Gohan's deceased body. The Future Warrior and Elder Kai appear. Trunks explains he was looking at the scroll of his timeline, when they notice a history change occur in the same time scroll. Chronoa reminds Trunks: Xeno he must sit this one out as it is dangerous for him to travel to the past of his own timeline, forcing him to leave it to the Future Warrior. The Future Warrior finds Towa had reactivated Future Android 16 to kill Future Gohan before 17 and 18. However the Future Warrior and Future Gohan manage to defeat the android, only to be confronted by the demonic android, Mira, who easily outclasses both warriors, forcing Trunks: Xeno to defy orders and save both his master and Time Patrol comrade. Together, the three defeat Mira, forcing him to retreat. Reunited with his master, Trunks: Xeno is overcome with emotion and wishes to join Gohan in fighting 18 and 17 despite knowing that doing so would be going against everything the Time Patrol stands for as it would alter the history of his timeline. However, Future Gohan and the Future Warrior manage to convince Trunks that what he is suggesting is wrong and Gohan heroically goes off to his death, knowing that Trunks will defeat the Androids and bring peace to their timeline, resulting him telling 18 and 17 that another will rise in his place to destroy them. Meanwhile, Towa alters Age 785 as she had previously, though this time she sends the rebuilt Future Android 16 to kill Future Trunks along with Dark Future Cell who had absorbed Android 17 & 18. However, with the aid of the Future Warrior, Future Trunks manages to destroy both Future 16 and Future Cell, which results in the deaths of Future 17 & 18.
In the Infinite History Saga, Towa's Distorted Time Eggs aroused a natural time distortion, that causes Xeno Trunks to follow his desire to save his master in the altered timeline of Age 780. As a result, he joins Future Gohan in fighting 17 and 18. Both are surprised to see Trunks all grown up, but they believe they can kill both Super Saiyans regardless. However, seeing the grave injuries his student had suffered, Future Gohan explodes his true powers and decimates the evil twins. Xeno Trunks decides to remain with Future Gohan and his younger self, to use his knowledge of future events such as the appearance of Future Cell and Future Dabura, as well as the threat of Future Majin Buu to protect this new future timeline. It is unclear if Chronoa chose to fix, erase, or allow this timeline to exist as an alternate future timeline.
In the Unknown History Saga, in a time rift Future 18 and Future 17 end up traveling to the main timeline where they confront Cell nine days before the Cell Games is supposed to start. With Cell seeing them, Future 17 & 18 realize Goku is alive in this timeline and decide to fulfill their original programming to kill him (which is apparently still programmed into them despite Future Goku's death). They are empowered with the Supervillain power-up and Fu summons Android 13 with the Supervillain power-up. If Future Warrior and their selected partner assist Fu in gathering energy from the rift then they will join the Androids in confronting Cell. Since they Android 13 seeks Goku's destruction as well, Future 17 and 18 become allied with him seeking to eliminate Cell who invites them to join the Cell Games though since they do not wish to play by the 1 on 1 rules, he gives them a handicap. Future 17 reminds Cell that he only became perfect because he absorbed their counterparts. After Cell began to be overpowered, Future 17 mocks him, much to his chagrin.
After Cell is defeated and killed, Super Saiyan Goku arrives via Instant Transmission after sensing Cell's energy had disappeared to the delight of the three Androids. Goku realizes that only three androids he saw, having made work of Cell. The androids then blithely consider their mission. Thanks to Fu's antics, all three manage to kill Goku, and Future 17 requests Android 13 in their quest of desolation. Obliging, the androids went their ways as the Future Warrior returns to the the Time Nest while Fu flees to the next time rift. 
===Kakarot===
;-Trunks- The Warrior of Hope
As part of the -Trunks- The Warrior of Hope DLC, Future Android 17 and Future Android 18 appear as major antagonists and bosses. During the opening cutscene, Future 17 & 18 are shown fighting Future Piccolo, Super Saiyan Future Vegeta, Future Krillin, and Future Tien, Future Chiaotzu, and Future Yamcha in Papaya Town.
;Episode 1 - "Android Assault"
During The Warrior of Hope Episode 1: "Android Assault", Future Trunks and Future Gohan encounter a male Researcher who had been detected by an old Red Ribbon Army Drone. The Drone triggers an alarm that alert Future 17 & Future 18, forcing Future Gohan and Future Trunks to take part in an Assault Battle against the two Androids where they must fulfill certain conditions in order to escape from the pair. Afterwards, the two half-Saiyans learn from the Researcher that the Drones are old state-of-the-art experimental Red Ribbon Army drones originally designed to patrol Red Ribbon Army installations, though now the drones consider the entire planet as under the Red Ribbon Army's control (which is technically accurate as the twin Red Ribbon Androids basically rule over the post-apocalyptic Earth). In order to avoid alerting the Androids, Future Trunks and Future Gohan have to destroy the purple Commander Drones which control the Red and Yellow Drones that can alert Future 17 & 18 triggering another Assault Battle if they are not destroyed in time.
;Episode 1 - "Gohan and Chichi"
During The Warrior of Hope Episode 1: "Gohan and Chichi" Sub Story: "Master Roshi's Discernment", it is revealed that the shipping company that Future Bulma has been using to ship supplies to Future Master Roshi's Submarine (where he has been hiding out with Future Oolong, Future Puar, & Future Turtle) has been attacked by the Androids and as a result has suspended operations. Future Trunks offers to take the supplies to Future Master Roshi as he hasn't seen him and the others for a while and would like to see how they are holding up. After Future Trunks delivers the supplies and returns home to report to his mother, he hears on the radio that the Androids have been sighted in the area. Fearing for his friends, he decides to check things out. He finds that Future Master Roshi has left the Submarine in an attempt to reason with Future 18 (along with more lecherous motives). He arrives in time to save Future Master Roshi from Future 18's wrath only to be out-matched by her. Fortunately, help comes from unlikely ally; Future 17 himself arrives, having just beaten a boss in a video game. Impressed by Future Master Roshi's courage for standing up for Future Trunks despite knowing he is no match for the Androids and in a good mood, Future 17 convinces his sister to let them go just this once. After they leave, Future Master Roshi realizes that they are both pure evil and that reasoning with either of them is pointless. He returns to hiding in the Submarine, leaving the Androids defeat to Future Trunks and his mentor Future Gohan.
;Episode 3 - "Looming Threat"
During The Warrior of Hope Episode 3: "Looming Threat" Sub Story: "Android Admirer", Future Trunks encounters the Despondent Man, whom he discovers is planning to end his life by jumping off a cliff on the large island southwest of Kame House. When Future Trunks inquires as to why, the man reveals himself to be a lovestruck admirer of Future Android 18. He has become despondent after learning that Future 18 and 17 had been killed by a mysterious warrior (as Future Trunks' role in the Androids defeat is only known to the Future Z Fighters and their remaining supporters). Future Trunks tries to tell the man that Future 18 was evil. The man is well aware of this, though remains blindly in love with her due to what he describes as her charming beauty. Future Trunks is reminded of Krillin falling for Android 18 in the main timeline, thus notes it is not all that strange that someone in his timeline would also fall for the 18 of this timeline. It is implied that the man is something of a celebrity stalker (as Future 18 is a celebrity mass murderer in Future Trunks' timeline), whom he only knows through seeing her on television - all of his attempts to actually encounter her failed, thus explaining how he survived. At a loss due to his own inexperience with matters of love, Future Trunks decides to ask his mother for advice on how to handle the situation.
Future Bulma notes that the only way to get the man to reconsider is to get Future 18 to set him straight. Seeing as that is currently impossible due to her being deceased (not counting the fact that Future Trunks would be reluctant to revive her and the possibility of getting her to cooperate would be highly unlikely), she tells her curious son to have Future Oolong shapeshift into Future 18. 
Once the preparations are complete, Future Oolong transforms into Future Android 18. He manages to get most of her proportions correct, but he messes up her facial features (it is unclear if this is due to being out of practice and/or due to having never seen Future 18 in the flesh). Future Trunks is unable to tell him and Future Oolong interprets Future Trunks' inability to speak as shock. As Future 18, Future Oolong approaches the man, who asks if 'she' is really Future 18. Despite messing up her face, Future Oolong's acting allows him to convince the man that he is the real Future 18, who is alive due to having faked her death after having gotten tired of destroying cities and terrorizing the population. When the man tries to declare his love for Future 18, Future Oolong as Future 18 tells him that she plans to travel the world, thus has little time for romance. Should she ever reconsider, she'll come see him, giving him hope that he may one day get to be with her. The man promises that he'll do his best to become a man worthy of her and she leaves. However, the man is somewhat relieved as he comes to the conclusion that Future 18 wasn't as attractive as he thought. 
==Power==
;Manga and Anime
Future Trunks states to the Z Fighters that the androids in his timeline are not nearly as strong as the ones released in the main timeline. Future Gohan is also seemingly able to overtake each of them separately, but when they team up, he becomes quickly overwhelmed. In a flashback in "Ghosts from Tomorrow", Future Android 18 gets in several hits on Super Saiyan Future Gohan when he was not looking. The same flashback also indicated that, like her brother, she can take several unloaded magazines from automatic weapons without so much as even being slightly knocked back, let alone flinching or being injured by the bullets.
When Future Trunks returns to his timeline, he effortlessly overpowers them both.
According to Future Bulma and Present Android 17, after fighting Super Saiyan Blue Goku, Future Goku would have beaten the Androids should they had ever met, as he never stopped training, even during times of peace.
;Video Games
In Xenoverse 2, Android 18 and her brother are strong enough to make Future Gohan fear for the life of Trunks: Xeno when he came to assist Gohan in the altered timeline of Age 780. This proved to be their undoing - it allowed Future Gohan to tap into his hidden power (which often surfaced when Gohan was enraged) while in his Future Super Saiyan form, allowing him to overpower and destroy both Androids with Trunks: Xeno's assistance. In the Infinite History Saga, Future Android 18, enchanted with the Supervillain power-up along with her brother and Android 13, were strong enough to take on and defeat Perfect Cell then Super Saiyan Full Power Goku in the alternate main timeline featured in a time rift, with the assistance of the Future Warrior and their selected partner.

*Future Android 18 claimed that her hair is artificial and cannot grow back. However, her main timeline counterpart's daughter, Marron, possessed blonde hair, apparently inherited from her mother.
**Her claim about her hair being artificial as well as her anger at Future Trunks for briefly cutting it, is also ironic - in the End of Z arc, as well as Dragon Ball GT, 18 cuts her hair short.
**Future Android 18 only made this claim in the English dub. In the Japanese version, Future Android 18 says nothing instead.
*When Android 18 fights Future Trunks and Future Gohan in most video games, she displays hostility. Future Trunks and Future Gohan both reciprocate this, perhaps due to their similarities in appearance and referral as simply "Android 18", for example. Despite wearing her Buu saga outfit and having the Destructo Disc as part of her moveset, she still says: "Hmph, you brat! You never learn," to Future Trunks, and to Future Gohan, "I won't let you get away this time - I'm gonna use everything I have and kill you", as if she was Future 18. This hostility remains consistent in video games up until Xenoverse 2. Main timeline Android 18 is often used to represent her future counterpart in various games, thus her hostility is likely the result of being programed to represent her future counterpart. Also, main timeline Android 18 can perform the Accel Dance and Non-Stop Violence with her brother no matter which outfit the player chooses, including her Buu arc outfit. The present androids are never shown performing these techniques in neither the anime nor the manga.
**However, in Shin Budokai - Another Road's Arcade Mode, when Android 18 fights Future Gohan, she says that it seems that Future Gohan had a problem, but she will fight him if he wants to, a notable exception for video games which usually she says Future 18's lines to Future Gohan. This may be because Android 17 is absent in the game, or because the game's story takes place after the Majin Buu arc.
**It should be noted that in Shin Budokai - Another Road, the main timeline version of Android 18 travels into Future Trunks' timeline to fight against Future Babidi and Future Majin Buu. Interestingly, Future Trunks displays no hostility towards Android 18.
**It was only in the "Future" Trunks Saga of Dragon Ball Super that both Android 18 and Future Trunks finally put aside their past differences. 18 is very kind and friendly towards him, despite their encounters in the past, and Future Trunks' fights with Future 18, and gave him a friendly fist, much to his anxiety. She even jokes about the death of Future 18 and making Future Trunks pay for the act.
**Because of this, in FighterZ, neither Android 18 nor Future Trunks have any hostility towards each other; in fact, Android 18 warmly receives Future Trunks in their cutscene if they are selected for battle, making it another exception.
**However, Future Trunks does admit and apologizes that he can never fully trust her likely due to having grown up around her murderous counterpart.
**In Dokkan Battle, both Future Android 17 and Future Android 18 have their own character cards with their names rendered as Android 17 (Future) and Android 18 (Future).
*In Kakarot, it is revealed that Future Android 18 had a male admirer called the Despondent Man. Future Trunks and Future Oolong have to stop him from jumping off a cliff to end his life upon learning of the death of Future 18. Though the man is compared to Krillin by Future Trunks, he has more in common with a celebrity stalker (as Future 18 is a celebrity mass murderer in both Future Trunks' and Cell's timelines) as he had never met Future 18 in person and only knew how she appears due to having seen her on television. Future Oolong is easily able to fool him via shapeshifting, despite messing up Future 18's facial features. This works in his favor as the man assumes that Future 18 wasn't as attractive as he thought and seems quite relieved believing the disguised Future Oolong's story that Future 18 was too busy for romance. It possible that the man suffers from a mild case of .
**This is unlike Krillin, who actually met Android 18. He only truly fell for her after she spared the lives of the Z Fighters and kissed him. Additionally, Krillin was shown to love 18 for her personality as well as finding her attractive and was even willing to let her go when he briefly assumes 17 was her lover before she revealed he was actually her twin brother. Future Krillin never had a chance to as Future 18 hated humanity and murdered him alongside her twin brother.
