Did Toriyama ever explain how some old neet in a cave was able to build androids stronger than frieza using a bunch of...

Technology on DB's Earth is at really advanced level

this.
>No, this isn't how he rolls
he always explained everything,kill yourself speedreader

>take cells from saiyan saga characters with power levels around 5000-15000
>end up with androids with power levels higher than 120 million
What the fuck?

From an in-universe reason, 17 and 18 don't really make sense for several reasons - why didn't Gero modify himself on a cellular level and put an infinite energy reactor in himself for the same benefits? Why can't they be sensed despite the fact that they're still mostly organic?
From a meta reason though, they exist literally because of editor meddling, which means that Toriyama had to bullshit a few more androids despite them not really making any sense.
Now, if the Androids were meant to be "proto-Cells" in that they had the cells of Frieza/King Colg (for their extreme power), Piccolo (can survive only on water according to an interview), and the Saiyans (for violent fighting instinct) but they were diluted in some ways by the original human cells, then I honestly think it could've made much more sense.

He watched Goku over the years and made Androids and Cell to learn about it. ALso, collected DNA info about them, my dear speedreader.

he started the projects during the red ribbon era when he had plenty of ressources and slaves to test his shit.

Power levels are retarded. He clearly gave up after frieza and just made bigger and bigger numbers.

That’s was the excuse for how Cell was so strong, not 17 and 18 you retard

I still wonder how he got a wife that looked like this. I'm guessing the real her was just as evil as Gero just like the real 16 was a piece of shit,too.

That's why they're cyborgs.

No, and even stranger, the older model, i.e Android 16, was the most powerful being in the universe by huge margin for a short period of time as well.
Gero is a genius.

Aren’t the androids way too overtuned for his purposes? He only knew about the Z-fighters powerlevel up until the saiyans arc. So about 20k or something. But he still builds androids capable of stomping super saiyans with an approximate powerlevel of 100 mio. or so.

It's retarded. Dragon ball has more holes than plot but the androids have got to be the most retarded part of it. How the fuck can you build androids that stomp super saiyans when fucking King Picollo couldn't be stopped by all of Earth's tech and needed magic and later Goku to be beaten?

This was made by someone with a bulge fetish

>real 16 was a piece of shit,too
He was canonically a good person. That's why 16 is such a good person, Gero couldn't bring himself to change his son's personality, that's why even though 16 was the strongest and wasn't going to betray Gero like he was scared about happening with 17 and 18, he still keep 16 locked.

King Piccolo was centuries old when he was sealed by Mutaito. The RR Army already had pretty strong androids during the RR Saga, it makes sense that a Technologically advanced world like DB's could have a scientist with nothing left in his life could spend decades doing his work to make Androids that strong.

Yes, he collected data on all human fighters, Goku, Piccolo, Vegeta, Freeza and his daddy, just like in the past when created #8, with this new data he was able to create beings that matched or surpassed his targets, makes perfect sense.

what's so ubelievable about it? hasn't it been over a decade in-universe since the red ribbon army arc, where number 8 was a thing?
earth tech is specially advanced in the dragon ball universe, and strength isn't (solely) a physical aspect ("power levels" are literally just ki readings). honestly this criticism just seems to me like some Z-baby bullshit that thinks earth is and has always been a normal place and everything interesting is and has to come from space.

>Dragon ball has more holes than plot
just because you don't like something doesn't mean it's a "hole".

He says he didn't have anything after the battle with Vegeta, thinking that a trip too Namek wouldn't change much anyway.

this. and before anyone mentions cell, yeah he does have data from after the saiyan arc but "the computer" collected it for him, not dr. gero.

Buu, debura, beerus, whis, and broly were still there

Freeza and King Cold's data was collected 3 years before the android attack, not only that, all the data collected on all the fighters would be enough to create a superior being.

toriyama is a hack that keeps making shit up
super is all his fault

If he had consciously collected Freeza's data he would not have been surprised by the power of Super Saiyan.

Because he's the biggest genius to ever exist, except maybe Bulma
Dr Gero created a perpetual energy reactor, two cyborgs, a mechanical and bio android, all of whom are stronger than Frieza
He and Bulma completely shattered the laws of physics with their inventions, they can succeed at whatever they want to

why do people always forget to mention the part where dr. gero didn't even bring 17 and 18 into the initial fight? or that he didn't even plan to awake 16, even after getting desperate?
from the looks of it he just got lost in his own powercreep fantasies to see how far he could take things, not something he felt he NEEDED to be able to defeat goku. that's why he only brought himself and number 19 to the battle.

it was collected but not by dr. gero, but the independent computer in charge of cell. this is literally and explicitly told in the series.

>toriyama is a hack that keeps making shit up
how is he a hack? he freely admits to it. he's just too good even despite that.
