Future Android 17 (Dragon Ball Series)

## Power

### Manga and Anime

Future Trunks states to the Z Fighters that the androids he knows in his time, while much stronger than him, are not nearly as strong as the ones released in the main timeline. It is safe to assume that power-wise, the future androids are not too much weaker than their main timeline counterparts, as they are still strong enough to kill an unmastered Super Saiyan. However, they are no match against a fully mastered Super Saiyan or any forms beyond (like Super Saiyan Blue (supressed), as present Android 17 (also supressed) can fight Goku in this form) And, since when Future Trunks returns to his timeline, he effortlessly overpowers them both. Future Gohan is seemingly able to overtake each of them separately, but when they team up, he becomes quickly overwhelmed, although in manga chapters, the original dub, and the *History of Trunks* storyline in *Budokai Tenkaichi 2*, 17 states that he did not even use half of his power to fight Gohan. On the other hand, the androids of the main timeline are seen being able to easily overtake a single Super Saiyan separately, as seen when Android 18 defeats Vegeta and knocks out Trunks with one hit, and Android 17 battling the Kami-fused Piccolo, and battling on par with Super Saiyan Blue Goku, something the androids of the future could not do to Trunks. He is no match for Future Cell, alongside his sister, just like with his counterpart, and his sister, against another version of him. According to Future Bulma, backed-up by the Present Android 17, in this case, if he meets them in the main timeline, Future Goku would have beaten the Androids should they had ever met, as he never stopped training even at piece, as Goku can take on and beat any enemy, no matter how numerous.
