Goku's Great Twinning: Android 18 (Shades)
Added 2025-07-05 15:01:02 +0000 UTCAnd another one!
This was the very first one made for this series alongside Bulma. A much more dynamic panel sequence than usual since we got to have all the machinery interacting with Goku's body.
Played around with the text a bit on this one before settling on the way it looks now. Did my best to justify the backup restoration still resulting in a modern 18, rather than the original murder bot. My concept here is that despite being destroyed the backup machine still periodically downloads Android 18's memory data for new backups. So its updated recently enough to be the married 18, but long enough ago she's not totally clear on what's going on.
Machinery based tg can be a lot of fun because machines are unlikely to care about what the subject wants, their only goal is to carry out their command, so there's a feeling of powerlessness and helplessness to the machine doing what it was meant to and being at its mercy.
