Trivia[]

  • Android 8's design is a homage to Mary Shelly's Frankenstien.
    • Additionally, in Dragon Ball FighterZ, Android 16 wears a Frankstein/Android 8 inspired Halloween costume for his Lobby Avatar and as a sticker. Frankenstein is often associated with Halloween as he is both a classic monster and Halloween costume.
  • In Mary Shelly's Frankenstein, the name "Frankenstein" actually refers to Victor Frankenstein, the scientist who created the monster. The creature itself is nameless in the novel, though it is often called "Frankenstein's monster" or simply "the monster". Over time, popular culture has blurred the lines, and many people mistakenly use "Frankenstein" to refer to the creature.
