Android 21 (人造人間２１号, Jinzōningen Nijūichi-Gō) is the main antagonist of the story mode for Dragon Ball FighterZ. She appears as an unlockable playable character in Dragon Ball FighterZ, where she can be unlocked by completing all the Story Mode Arcs. She fights in the form of a Bio-Android that was created from Majin Buu’s cells, and is an original, new character design created by Akira Toriyama himself for this specific game.
[external_link offset=1]Background
Android 21 Appears as a mysterious new android who is somehow connected to Android 16. In her default form, she’s a young woman with long, bushy hair, who wears glasses and is supposedly as smart as Dr. Gero, perhaps even more so. She, like the Majin creature she was based on, has the ability to turn her opponents into any form of edible material. Her lust to feed drives her to absolute insanity at times. In the Android 21 Arc, after she eats Cell, her evil side’s skin color turns purple, with dark purple spots. While this part of her runs rampant, the good-natured side of her soul was split off, and a ‘Good’ Android 21 was created. This version of her is only playable in the Android Arc of Story Mode.

Trivia
- Android 21 is the first female final boss in Dragon Ball history.
- Android 21, Videl, Kefla and Android 18 are the only four female combatants in Dragon Ball FighterZ.
- It is a common theory that Android 21 was the late Dr. Gero’s wife, and that her attachment to Android 16 is due to the fact that he was supposedly modeled after Dr. Gero’s, and by extension, her son. This theory of her being Android 16’s mother has not been confirmed in any way, but in her human form, she does share visual similarities to Android 16.
- Android 21 has three different background tracks dedicated to her.
- Similar to Cell she considers herself “The Ultimate Android”.
- She is the first known female character who don’t rely on assist character(s) (most of them (assist(s)) commonly males), followed by Kefla.
