Android 13

is Dr. Gero's thirteenth Android creation. He is designed to continue Gero's vendetta against Goku, who overthrew the Red Ribbon Army as a child.
Cell notes that Android 13 may be a prototype to him, due to his ability to absorb other Androids.Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, 2016
While the main timeline version of him was destroyed by Gero, the parallel world Android 13 makes his debut as the main antagonist in Dragon Ball Z: Super Android 13!.
==Creation and concept==
Android 13 and his comrades were designed by Akira Toriyama, the original manga author, for Toei's theatrical production.
==Appearance==
In his standard form, he appears as a muscular man with greenish-blue eyes and long white hair. He wears a yellow-brown vest adorning the Red Ribbon Army logo on his left side, as well as tiny gray suspenders worn underneath his vest, dark green trousers, dark grey boots with black tips, brown gloves, as well as a gray and yellow trucker hat with the Red Ribbon Army logo on its front (he is the only one of Dr. Gero's Android models to wear a hat without having a glass-domed cranium).
When transforming, his vest ended up completely destroyed, while his suspenders were destroyed to the extent that what remained of them hung loosely from his trousers. When he’s fully transformed, his muscles bulk up, and his skin turns blue with grey areas on his shoulders, stomach, chest, and back. His pupils and irises also vanish, and his sclera turn yellow. Also, his hair changes to look exactly like Vegeta's Super Saiyan hair, except its orange in color.
==Personality==
Being a man-made android and serving only as a lackey to target and kill Goku, Android 13 seems to display little-to-no emotion. His face seems to always display a diabolical grin. In the original version, he is dead set on this goal although he seems to be laid-back about approaching it, saying that anyone who gets in his way will die as well.
In the Funimation dub, his attitude is essentially that of a stereotypical "redneck" (which his character design also appears to have been modeled after), with Future Trunks even referring to him as a Red Ribbon Redneck at one point. Android 13 makes references to Native Americans when noting that if Goku couldn't even handle the "Indians" (referring to Androids 14 and 15), there's no need to bring out the chief in reference to himself (who shared a rivalry with cowboys in the Old West) and even yells "Yeehah!" during battle. When using the S.S. Deadly Bomber, he also makes a brief reference to heat stroke when Goku attempts to block the attack by noting that Goku had been "out in the sun without his hat on for way too long." Also in the dub, he scarcely refers to Goku by name, preferring instead to call him by such titles as "city boy," "son" or "boy". In fact, he only refers to Goku by name three times: the first time when he is first activated, the second when stating that he will go through with his mission to kill Goku to Future Trunks, and the third just before his destruction. Owing to the basis of his attitude in the dub, he speaks with an extremely thick Mason-Dixie accent.
In addition, Funimation's dub provides a further glimpse into Android 13's psyche when he lectures Future Trunks about how people have misused their free will to create more sufferings like war, segregation and hatred (even though he uses this lecture to justify the pursuit of his own morally questionable goal of killing Goku). In the uncut version of the dub, he is also shown to be somewhat coarse regarding his opponents, such as commenting upon arrival that Goku was "catching an ass-whoopin'" from Androids 14 and 15, as well as declaring he intends to do what he was programmed to do, which is to "kill [Goku's] ass". Also, in the Funimation dub, Dr. Gero's computer directly relays information to him, which is something only subtly hinted at in the original Japanese version of the film (the computer does not actually say anything in the original version).
The English localization for his various video game appearances merged the personalities from the two versions of the movie, as he retains his Mason-Dixie accent, yet exudes a more no-nonsense demeanor regarding his programmed mission to kill Goku similar to that of the Japanese version.
In his Super form, he is shown to be a lot more assertive and maniacal (in the Japanese version, he does not speak at all aside from yelling Goku's name upon his death. This is retained in later video game appearances where he is reduced to giving feral roars, with the few lines of dialogue he gives being shouted out), and, in the case of the uncut dub, was also prone to cursing when irritated at one's persistence, as evidenced by his yelling "Damn you!" when Goku tried to get up. He is a much more frenzied and brutal character in this form also, as he punches Goku in the crotch (Japanese version and uncut dubs only), almost breaks Vegeta's back, grabs and blasts Trunks' skull and steps on Piccolo's face while charging his ki. He also doesn't allow others to fully charge their attacks like Omega Shenron. Despite his mania in this form, he was nevertheless shown to retain a degree of intelligence, as he made an attempt to attack Goku as soon as he saw him charge up the Spirit Bomb (with the English dub even having him claim to know about Goku's Spirit Bomb and vow to not allow him to use it before doing so). The English dub also has Android 13, when pursuing Gohan, expressing grudging respect towards the boy for being able to put up a fight against him despite the odds, while nevertheless telling him the latter is still going to die ultimately.
Although fully dedicated to his programmed duty of assassinating Goku, he is not above turning against Dr. Gero if he got in the way of his objective, which can be implied by a special interaction between Android 13 and Dr. Gero if paired up in a match. Similarly, he also considers himself an "elder" to Android 17 and 18, presumably due to having predated their creation, as he retorts that they should "mind their elders" when they make a rude remark towards him. Certain dialogue when paired up against Androids 14 and/or 15 also imply he's perfectly willing to turn against and kill his comrades if he wished to ascend to his ultimate form. This is reinforced in Dragon Ball Legends as he betrays Android #14 & #15 to become Fusion Android #13 in order to settle his score with Shallot. 
In Dragon Ball Legends, Android #13 is initially focused on fulfilling Dr. Gero's programming to eliminate all incarnations of Goku participating in the Tournament of Time. This however leads him, Android #14, & #15 into conflict with Shallot of Team Beerus who interferes in the Android trio's plans at various points. While initially seeking only to destroy Shallot as a secondary objective due to his interference, Android #13's repeated defeats by Shallot cause him to develop something of an obsession with defeating Shallot. Eventually Android #13 realizes that he lacks Shallot's free will and ability to think for himself. This causes Android #13 to develop a free will of his own and leads him to betraying #14 & #15 in order to become grow stronger by becoming Fusion Android #13. Despite his increase in power and the Mastermind empowering him with Dark Ki he is ultimately defeated by a combined attack from Super Saiyan 3 Shallot, Super Saiyan 2 Gohan (Youth), and Bardock. However Fusion Android #13 laughs as he begins to break down, admitting Shallot and his allies got him good but reveals that he strangely feels at peace and is thankful to Shallot as he now understands what it means to fight for oneself, before shutting down completely, which Bardock refers to as dying standing up with a smile on his face. This shows that Android #13, similar to Android #16 was able to overcome his programming and develop a free will and desires of his own. However, in Android #13's case his desire was to fight a battle entirely of his own free will, finding inner peace as he ultimately accepted his defeat and death.
==Biography==
===Background===
He was developed by Dr. Gero at some point before the Androids Saga. Along with Android 14 and Android 15, Android 13 was quite close to the final Android form; however, like their predecessors they had one problem or another and as such were destroyed by Dr. Gero.
Even though Android 13, Android 14, and Android 15 are not featured in the Dragon Ball manga, the "Androids A-B-C's" section mentions that Androids 13, 14, and 15 were very close to the Android concept,Androids A-B-C's guide: #15~~~~#9: All of them had one problem or another, but #13, #14, and #15 were pretty close to the final android form. being near perfect.

==Film appearances==
===Super Android 13!===
thumb|left|Android 13
Android 13 is completed by Dr. Gero's self-aware supercomputer after Android 14 and Android 15, who by this time are already taking up arms against Goku and Future Trunks. Upon his arrival on the Glacier, 13 confronts Goku, leaving Future Trunks and Vegeta to fight against 14 and 15 respectively. During his fight with Goku, he has the utmost confidence he will surely win the battle and seems to have a slight edge over him. Goku then transforms into a Super Saiyan in hopes to turn the tables, but 13 is still able to fight on par with him if not still having the edge. Shortly after which Piccolo intervenes to assist Goku. Ultimately, 14 and 15 are defeated, following Future Trunks and Vegeta's transformations into Super Saiyans; their deaths are fail-safe, however, as 13 absorbs components from both, resulting in his transformation into Super Android 13.
Vegeta is the first to attack the newly transformed 13, only to quickly be brought to his knees by his amazing new strength. Goku, Future Trunks, and Piccolo's attempts are also foiled with little effort on 13's part. Becoming desperate to kill 13, Goku is forced to prepare his ultimate weapon, the Spirit Bomb, while Krillin, Vegeta, Gohan and Future Trunks distract 13. Super Android 13 easily dispatches them (in the Funimation dub, he informs Goku that he knows about his Spirit Bomb technique). He begins charging up his S.S. Deadly Bomber when Piccolo charges at 13 and puts him in a Full Nelson. Super Android 13 quickly counters it and begins crushing Piccolo's head, but he stops short when he notices Goku's Spirit Bomb charging. 
thumb|left|Super Android 13 is killed
When Goku transforms into his Super Saiyan form, his body absorbs the Spirit Bomb's immense energy and erases the surrounding ice until the land 13 is standing on is nothing more than a singular pillar. When 13 tries to attack Goku, his arms end up incinerated by the raw energy emitted from Goku and the Spirit Bomb. Afterward, one punch from Goku disintegrates 13, with help from the ki Goku emits (in the edited dub, Goku merely kicks Super Android 13 away before the latter is destroyed, due to the punch impaling the android's stomach being cut out). 13 dies while yelling Goku's name (in FUNimation's dub, he curses that Goku must die). Consequentially at the same moment, Gero's supercomputer shuts down.
==Power==
;Films
In his standard form, Android 13 is able to keep up with Goku even as a Super Saiyan. While in this base form, he does not seem to be as strong as Android 17 and Android 18, who are able to keep up with and even surpass a Super Saiyan's power. In the Japanese version, Android 13 states that his strongest attack in base form - the S.S. Deadly Bomber - has enough power to blow up half of planet Earth.
After absorbing the components of Android 14 and Android 15, Android 13 is given an enormous power boost. Coupled with his new appearance, 13's power skyrockets ferociously. Despite being attacked by Piccolo (who has fused with Kami at this point), Goku, Vegeta and Future Trunks (the latter three in their Super Saiyan transformations) Super Android 13 is absolutely unfazed. Thanks to being made out of adamantine, his body also becomes so tough that Future Trunks' Sword shatters upon striking his arm. It is only when Goku forms a Spirit Bomb and absorbs it as a Super Saiyan that any damage is done to Super Android 13 at all; and he is defeated in a single punch (in the edited dub, however, Goku merely kicks him away with the titanic android reeling back due to the punch being cut out).
;Statements by authors and guidebooks
It was stated by Takao Koyama, that when making Dragon Ball movies was that the next movie villain that Goku fought would always have to be at least stronger than the previous villain Goku fought. Thus, Android 13 was stronger than Meta-Cooler but weaker than Broly.
;Video Games
According to Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, Future Gohan states that he is stronger than Future Androids 17 & 18.
During the Tournament of Time, Androids 13, 14 and 15 are upgraded by Dr. Gero's Supercomputer in Age 780 and become much more powerful. After becoming Super Android 13 he is able to initially overpower Cabba, Caulifla, Teen Gohan and Shallot in their Super Saiyan 2 forms, beating Cabba and Caulifla in one hit each. Even after using dark ki, however, he is defeated when Shallot turns Super Saiyan 3 and Bardock joins the other Saiyans in fighting him.

Forms and Transformations
;Super Android 13
Android 13 has the ability to transform into upon absorbing Android 14 and Android 15's battle data, computer chips, and energy reactors, which go into the sides of his forehead and inside his chest respectively. This state is far more powerful than that of Android 13's base form, and in this state, Android 13 possesses a body made out of the adamantine metal.Dragon Ball Super Card Game (2017) Super Android 13 is alternatively known as Merged 13 or Fusion Android 13. In Raging Blast 2, Cell refers to it as Android 13's Perfect Form which he compares to his own as both are achieved by an Android absorbing other androids (or their components in 13's case) to grow stronger and transform. In Xenoverse 2, Cell (1st Form) will wonder if Android 13 was one of his prototypes based upon 13's ability to absorb the components of Android 14 and Android 15. In Dragon Ball Legends, he is named Fusion Android #13.
;Transcended

==Trivia==
*The number 13 is considered unlucky in many traditions, something Android 13 references in the Funimation dub.
*Android 13's way of dressing resembles that of an American truck driver.
*Android 13 is the only character to harbor two Red Ribbon insignias (one on his cap and another on his vest), as all other androids have only one.
*Physically, Android 13 bears some resemblance to Dr. Gero, having the same skin tone, eye and hair color, as well as a similar head shape and a hairstyle, albeit 13 has a much more youthful appearance than Gero.
*During his fight with Goku, there is a moment where Super Android 13 punches him in the crotch; this was edited out with a flash of light in televised English dubs.
*In the Polish version dubs, Goku says that Super Android 13 has a hairstyle similar to that of Super Saiyans.
*Android 13, alongside Androids 14, 15, and 19 are among the few Androids completely dedicated to Dr. Gero's vendetta.
*In the remastered version of the film, the voice of his Super form sounds the same as his first form (albeit gruffer in tone).
*Android 13's frequent reference to Goku as "City Boy" in the dub is ironic, as Goku largely grew up in the wilderness and even during adulthood tended to live off the land.
*He is the first Red Ribbon Android model with the ability to absorb other Androids to achieve a more powerful form, as he predates Cell, Android 21, and Super 17.
*Even though Android 13 is a purely synthetic android, he is depicted as fighting Goku underwater with little to no hindrance, even deliberately dragging Goku underwater beforehand, implying that his circuits were waterproof.
*In the Funimation dub, Android 13 refers to himself as a cyborg; presumably a mistake made by the localization team who may have assumed he was the same type of "Android" as Android 17 and Android 18.
*Android 13 in the English version of various video games has a slightly higher pitch in his voice than in the film.
*His manner of death in Dragon Ball Legends is actually an example of the "Died Standing Up" trope where a character literally dies while standing.
