Overview

One of Dr. Gero’s twin androids. The version Vegito meets is in the Android-saga timeline at the moment of his activation (ep 0017 00:04:47, 00:05:21). Gero programmed him as the stronger of the pair (ep 0017 00:11:43). Feigning loyalty, he tried to kill Gero, as in the original story, but Vegito blocked the kick (ep 0017 00:12:41–00:13:06). After seeing his sister erased, Vegito dragged him before the Z fighters and blew him to scrap with one ki blast (ep 0018 00:10:19; ep 0019 00:08:03–00:13:37). Vegito’s own timeline’s 17 has his own page (see Android 17).
