"Android 21?"
A strange light flickered in Yuujin's eyes as his interest in this so-called Android 21 surged.
In Dr. Gero's designs, she was supposedly the ultimate android—more perfect than even Cell. There was no doubt this Android 21 was something extraordinary!
"Go fetch that data."
Bulma ordered one of her beautiful subordinates.
"Yes, Lady Bulma."
Struggling to rise from the floor, the beauty respectfully handed over a set of documents to Yuujin.
Gently stroking her cheek, Yuujin had her kneel at his feet to continue pleasing him while he, under Bulma's explanation, began flipping through the documents.
After going through the data, Yuujin quickly grasped the general concept.
It turned out that in Dr. Gero's grand android project, aside from those he already created, there was also a plan to construct Android 21.
Unlike the previous androids that purely pursued strength, Android 21 was designed to possess both intellect and power—a truly perfect and ultimate android!
And the "intellect" here wasn't just ordinary intelligence. Gero's intention was for Android 21 to inherit a genius-level mind like his own, alongside unmatched power.
Creating a powerful android wasn't that hard—Cell achieved it by fusing the cells of many strong fighters—but combining both genius intellect and great strength? That was a true challenge. Overloading with too many cells would even backfire.
Take Cell, for example—while clever, he didn't have the kind of genius mind to invent and innovate like Dr. Gero or Bulma. It was simply impossible.
In Gero's design, Android 21 only required two types of genetic donor cells:
One to provide her with genius-level intellect,
One to provide her with overwhelming power.
The better the source of those two, the more perfect Android 21 would be.
Unfortunately, Gero was never able to find two samples that fully satisfied him. And after exhausting rare materials to create Androids 17, 18, and Cell, the Android 21 project remained theoretical—never even started.
After Gero's death, his notes ended up in Bulma's hands. And now that she was bringing this up, it was clear she planned to take over where Gero left off—to complete Android 21 herself!
"Bulma, are you planning to use your own cells for Android 21?"
Guessing her intention, Yuujin asked.
"Hmph, who else would be better?"
"Sure, I can't match you guys in raw power, but when it comes to brains and talent—this lady is undefeated across the universe!"
She let out a proud hum.
Yuujin chuckled but didn't deny it. Indeed, among everyone, no one could compare to Bulma in intelligence. Using her cells as the intellectual base of Android 21 was the perfect choice.
"And the other cells? Whose are you planning to use?"
Yuujin followed up.
"If it were before, I would've had to choose from Vegea, Gokumi, or one of the others… But now, I'm thinking of using Buu's cells."
After some thought, Bulma replied.
Yuujin nodded.
Indeed, biologically speaking, neither humans nor Saiyans could compare to Buu.
As a biological weapon created by the dark mage Bibidi, Buu's very existence was a miracle. She was an entire race unto herself—one of a kind across the universe.
Combining Bulma's cells with Buu's to create Android 21—just imagining it, you could tell how powerful she would be!
"Bulma, since you've decided, go ahead and make Android 21. With her help, you'll finally be able to lighten your workload."
"You mean you'll benefit most in the end."
Bulma gave him a look as Yuujin smiled tenderly.
He chuckled without denying it.
Sure, once Android 21 was completed, she could share Bulma's burden. But ultimately, she'd still be Yuujin's property.
Just like Sharuru—she was both a powerful weapon and a "hot weapon" for Yuujin's pleasure. He adored her immensely. So naturally, he was extremely eager to meet Android 21, too.
And just like that, the plan to create Android 21 was officially set in motion. Bulma began working on it without delay.
Having already made one android before, she had all the materials and equipment ready. The initial stages went smoothly—but when it came time to fuse her and Buu's cells, a problem arose.
From a biological standpoint, Bulma's cells were no match for Buu's. Bulma hoped to merge them, but Buu's were so overwhelming and dominant that they kept devouring Bulma's cells during each fusion attempt.
According to the computer's analysis, while it was still possible to produce an android with both intelligence and strength, the resulting personality would be flawed—possibly turning out as violent and bloodthirsty as Sharuru.
But Bulma didn't want just another battle machine. She wanted someone with reason and humanity—someone who could share her responsibilities and help manage things. A savage result would never be acceptable.
Thankfully, after countless adjustments and trials, Bulma finally discovered a method to perfectly fuse her cells with Buuou's.
Based on the computer's calculations, the perfectly merged cells would create an ideal Android 21—combining Bulma's genius with Buu's strength, while forming a personality that was both rational and humane. It was exactly what Bulma had hoped for.
With all preparations complete, the final step was to cultivate her into existence.
Under normal conditions, this process would be slow—taking decades. But for Yuujin and Bulma, time wasn't an issue.
Just like with Sharuru, Bulma placed the cultivation pod inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber—where decades inside equated to just a few days outside.
To be continued…
Android 21 (Part 3)
Outside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Yuujin, Bulma, and the other women were enjoying afternoon tea, attended by a group of maids.
"Bulma, is Android 21 really coming out today? We've already been waiting for hours."
Feeling a little bored, Yuujin spoke up.
"My calculations are never wrong. Based on the internal time of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Android 21 should complete her incubation today and come out."
Putting down her teacup, Bulma replied.
Over a month had passed in the outside world, which translated to several decades inside the Time Chamber. And precisely because Bulma said Android 21 would finish incubation today, Yuujin and the others had arrived early to wait.
Vegea had no interest in so-called androids and had long since gone off with Celiba to train. Buu initially waited with them but had at some point run off to play wildly with Goteno and Trunksia.
Thinking back, she had once arrogantly claimed she wouldn't play with "little kids" like Goteno and Trunksia, yet now she was the one playing the wildest with them every day.
Gokumi, Chi-Chi, and Broly all stayed close to Yuujin—as usual, wherever Yuujin was, they were too.
In addition to them, Android 18, Dark Android 18, and Sharuru were also present. They were genuinely curious about Android 21 and eager to meet this soon-to-be-born peer.
As they chatted and enjoyed their tea and snacks, another hour quickly passed. At last, some noise came from within the Time Chamber.
A soft click was heard as the door opened, and a figure slowly stepped out. Yuujin and the girls all stood up at once.
"She's out!"
Eyes lighting up, everyone eagerly turned their attention to the figure.
It was an extremely beautiful woman with flowing brown hair down to her shoulders. Though draped in a long robe, it couldn't hide her graceful figure.
"Hey, is that Android 21?"
"She looks pretty good… but I don't feel any powerful aura from her—she seems just like a normal person."
Everyone examined Android 21 closely and quickly formed a basic impression.
Unlike Sharuru's dramatic and imposing emergence, Android 21's appearance was very low-key. Just as Android 18 had said, no one could sense any strong energy from her—she seemed like an ordinary human.
"Master."
Standing before Yuujin and the others, Android 21 politely bowed to him, her voice melodious.
"Oh? You're recognizing me as your master right from the start?"
"Your predecessor, Sharuru, wasn't like this. When she was born, she wanted to kill me for freedom. It was only after a fierce battle that she submitted to me."
Finding this amusing, Yuujin smiled.
"Unlike that defective creature who only knew how to fight and kill, I am a perfect android possessing both reason and humanity. You gave me life and created me, and during my creation process, a command was input into me to recognize you as my master and obey you unconditionally. So why would I rebel?"
"Besides, based on my analysis, rebellion would be meaningless. It would only place me at a disadvantage."
She glanced calmly at Sharuru as she spoke.
"My, what a clever girl," Android 18 said with a grin.
"De—defective?!"
Sharuru's expression froze. It took everything she had to suppress the urge to lash out.
To dare call her defective—this was one arrogant and presumptuous girl!
If not for the fact that Android 21 also belonged to their master and she wasn't allowed to hurt her, Sharuru wouldn't mind teaching her a lesson right then and there to show her who the real "defective one" was!
"Well, it's great that you understand your position—it makes things a lot easier for me," Yuujin said, shrugging with an increasingly amused smile.
Though both were artificial beings, Android 21's personality was clearly worlds apart from Sharuru's.
"Android 21, do you know who I am?" Bulma, who had been waiting eagerly, stepped forward.
"Of course. You're the genius scientist Bulma who provided the genetic base for my creation—you're also my creator."
"Mhm! It looks like you're in great shape."
"Android 21, come with me to the lab. I'd like to run a few tests on your body."
"Yes."
Bulma beamed with joy, and Android 21 nodded calmly.
...
In the laboratory, Android 21 lay unclothed in a medical pod, while various scanning lights swept over her body.
"So, Bulma—how is her physical condition?" Yuujin asked from the side.
"Every metric is absolutely perfect!" Bulma replied, visibly excited.
Android 21 was created using a fusion of Bulma's and Buu's cells. To ensure the two types of cells merged seamlessly, Bulma had made many adjustments. Android 21's hair color and facial features were different from either Bulma or Buu—she was a completely new entity.
But those details didn't matter. What did matter was that all of Android 21's physical functions and stats were flawless, exactly as Bulma's simulations had predicted.
After completing the physical tests, Bulma ran cognitive and intelligence assessments as well.
As expected, Android 21 possessed extremely high intelligence, fully inheriting Bulma's genius-level intellect.
Though she couldn't yet use all the knowledge that had been directly implanted into her during creation, she had an exceptional learning ability. With just a bit of post-training, she could easily take on many of Bulma's responsibilities in the future.
"Android 21, I'll be counting on you! With your help, things will be much easier for me."
Seeing Android 21 as her ultimate masterpiece, Bulma was visibly thrilled.
"No need to be polite. I was created precisely to assist you. Besides, I find these matters interesting as well."
Running a hand through her hair, Android 21 replied with composure, which made Bulma even more satisfied.
"Bulma, are you finished with your tests?"
"Yes, just about done."
"Then it's my turn."
A smirk played on Yuujin's lips as his eyes burned with anticipation.
"Android 21, if you inherited Bulma's brilliant mind, then you must've also inherited Buu's immense power, right?"
"Yes. What you see now is just my standard form. I also have a second, Majin-enhanced combat form."
She nodded.
"A Majin-style combat form, huh?"
"Interesting, very interesting. Come with us to the training field and show us your power."
