Android 13, also known as Artificial Human No. 13, is a fictional character in the Dragon Ball franchise, debuting as the main antagonist in the 1992 movie *Dragon Ball Z: Super Android 13!*. Created by Dr. Gero as his thirteenth android, he was designed to seek revenge on Goku for destroying the Red Ribbon Army as a child. In the movie, Android 13 appears alongside Androids 14 and 15, serving as formidable foes. He possesses considerable strength and combat abilities, initially matching Super Saiyan Goku. During battle, he absorbs components from the defeated Androids 14 and 15, transforming into Super Android 13, significantly increasing his power. Super Android 13 undergoes a physical transformation, his skin turning blue, his hair orange, and his muscle mass expanding. Ultimately, he is defeated by Goku who absorbs the energy from Spirit Bomb and defeats him with a single punch. Android 13's personality differs between the original Japanese and the English dub, with the Japanese version portraying a more serious demeanor while the English dub gives him a stereotypical "redneck" accent.
