"Little boys should not play with knives!"
— Android 14 to Future Trunks in Dragon Ball Z: Super Android 13!


Android 14 (人造人間14号 Jinzōningen Jū Yon-Gō, lit. "Artificial Human No. 14") is Dr. Gero's fourteenth Android creation. He is designed to serve Gero's vendetta against Goku, who overthrew the Red Ribbon Army as a child.

While the main timeline version of him was destroyed by Gero, the parallel world Android 14 makes his debut as an antagonist in Dragon Ball Z: Super Android 13!.

According to Akira Toriyama's art of the character, this android was intended to be Android 15 (人造人間15 号 Jinzōningen Jūgo-Gō, lit. "Artificial Human No. 15"), however, Toei Animation switched the two androids' names.

Creation and concept[]

A14(Daiz6)

Concept art of Android 15, which was instead used for Android 14

In the original concept art drawn by Akira Toriyama, Android 14 is labeled as Android 15 and Android 15 is labeled as Android 14, but the anime staff switched their names around due to the story development and other circumstances.[1]

Appearance[]

His general appearance seems to be modeled after a Native American. Android 14 takes the appearance of a large, heavily built muscular man. He dons a brown brassard and belt combination, large brown gloves, a long green man-skirt, and yellow and black boots. His skin tone is a shade of silver and unlike all other androids created by Gero or his computer, has brown eyes instead of blue.

Personality[]

Emotionless Android 14

Android 14 as an emotionless robot

Being a man-made android and serving only as a lackey to target and kill Goku, Android 14 seems to display little-to-no emotion. In fact, his face seems to stay frozen in a cold, unsmiling stare.

In the original version, Android 14 is almost completely silent, saying only one line a few times throughout the entire film: "Son Goku". In the Funimation dub of the film, Android 14 is given a handful of additional lines, such as when he stops Future Trunks' Sword attack and remarks, "Little boys shouldn't play with knives."

Biography[]

He was developed by Dr. Gero at some point before the Androids Saga. Along with Android 13 and Android 15, Android 14 was quite close to the final Android form, however like their predecessors they had one problem or another and as such were presumed to have been destroyed by Dr. Gero.

Even though Android 13, Android 14, and Android 15 are not featured in the Dragon Ball manga, the "Androids A-B-C's" section mentions that Androids 13, 14, and 15 were very close to the Android concept.[2]

Android 14 blocks Trunks' sword

Android 14 is completed by Dr. Gero's self-aware supercomputer alongside Android 15. The two set out for West City,[1] where they devastatingly assault a restaurant where Goku's family is in the midst of dining, in an effort to kill Goku. After rescuing bystanders in the restaurant's vicinity, a short battle between the androids and Goku and Future Trunks ensues; the fighters soon after take their combat to an isolated glacial area, where they are followed by Gohan and Krillin.

While 14 and 15 are taking up arms against Goku and Trunks, a third android arrives on the scene: Android 13, who was completed by Dr. Gero's supercomputer after 14 and 15. Upon his arrival on the scene, 13 confronts Goku, leaving Trunks and Vegeta to fight 14 and 15 respectively. Android 14 starts to overpower Trunks in their battle, managing to use the devastating Android Charge 14.

Ultimately, Android 14 is destroyed following Trunks' transformation to Super Saiyan, who slices him in half with his sword when the two both charge for each other (in sync with the destruction of Android 15 by Super Saiyan Vegeta), although the vivisection had a delayed effect, also slightly wounding Trunks with a cut on his head. However, even their deaths are fail-safe, as 13 absorbs components from 14 and 15, resulting in his transformation into Super Android 13.

Power[]

Films

Android 14 is powerful enough to trouble Goku and Trunks in their base forms and was also able to not only counter a blow from Future Trunks' Sword by catching it with two fingertips but also throw it back at Trunks after knocking him away. However, his power is outmatched by Trunks when the latter turns into a Super Saiyan (but not before laying some damage, even while as a Super Saiyan).
