The Androids Walk Among Us (謎の16号, Nazo no Jūrokugō) is the three hundred fifty-first chapter of the Dragon Ball manga. In the Viz release, it is the one hundred fifty-seventh chapter of Dragon Ball Z. This chapter's anime counterpart is the second half of the episode "Goku's Assassin."

Summary

Android 16, having been activated, steps out of his chamber and reveals his great height. As the Z Fighters watch, Krillin asks if they are in trouble now. Future Trunks says that he does not know, as he has never seen 16 before. Android 17 asks 16 what it feels like to be free for the first time in years, and tells him that Dr. Gero warned them not to activate him, saying he would destroy them all. Android 18 asks what Gero meant, but 16 does not respond. 17 then asks 16 whether he does not want to tell them or whether he is just the strong, silent type, but 16 still says nothing. 17 then asks if 16 was created to kill Goku, and 16 simply says yes. 17 says that he hates following Gero's programming, but that as machines they need a sense of purpose. The trio then rises into the air and flies away.

The Z Fighters are confused by the androids' sudden departure, although Krillin is thankful. Tien asks where they are going, and Piccolo notes that it is the wrong direction to attack North City. Krillin then realizes that they are heading for Goku's house, as he was Gero's target, but Tien says that they rebelled against Gero. Vegeta asks who cares about all of that, but says that he was right there and they ignored him. He calls the androids fools for not thinking he was worth their time, and turns Super Saiyan. Trunks quickly jumps in front of him, telling him not to chase after them. He urges Vegeta to be patient, and wait until Goku has recovered. Vegeta tells Trunks that he has it wrong, and that Goku is the one he hates most. He says that he will defeat the androids himself, and then kill Goku after that. Trunks tells Vegeta that he will be going to his death, but Vegeta punches Trunks in the stomach and flies off. As he flies, Vegeta thinks that they do not need Goku since he is now a Super Saiyan, and that he should be considerably more powerful because he is the Saiyan prince.

As the androids pass over a mountain road, 17 decides to land, and 18 and 16 follow suit. 18 asks why they have landed, and 17 says that there is no rush, and they might as well enjoy the trip. 18 asks if they are going to walk, but 17 says that a car will pass by eventually. 18 says that 17 is still part human, as he has the male love of pointless amusement. 17 asks 16 if he understands, since he was created from a human male too. 16 then reveals that he was created from nothing, making him fundamentally different from 17 and 18. 17 is surprised that Gero had the capability to make a true android, and wonders why he returned to cybernetics afterwards. As 17 thinks to himself, Vegeta lands nearby, and 17 notes that he looks different than before. Vegeta says that more than his looks have changed, and asks where the androids are headed. 18 reveals that they are going to Goku's house to kill him, but Vegeta says they will die here. 17 says that pride is the downfall of the weak, and an enraged Vegeta asks who will face him first. 18 orders 16 to fight Vegeta, but he refuses, so 18 says she will. Vegeta says that she is not a woman, but a machine.
