Android 16

[Barney's Soul]

yestryday i saw the dbz episode where 17 and 18 got released and where dr gero spent half the episode telling them to obey and dont open android 16...well i sorta wondered why gero didnt want them to release 16...and my idea is....maybe 16 was to prevent cell from rebelling over gero....cause geros creations never really listen to him cause he always makes them stronger then him. cause right when cell got released 16 didnt like him and when he first saw cell he told 18 and 17 to run....plus he was stronger then cell form one....

Well, something was wrong with 16, he was to nice, and gentle.

He was created to destroy goku, but he didn't do that, instead he wanted to destroy Cell, becouse he was a softy.

16 simply wasn't finished yet. It's as simple as that.

16 could have destroyed Perfect Cell as well had his bomb not been removed.

if dbz had some sort of plot depth, there would be maybe a cool reason as to why they didnt want him released... but no
