Dragon Ball Z is busy these days thanks to a special release. Bandai Namco will step out with Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot tomorrow for fans in the U.S, but Son Goku will fly high early in Japan. Of course, this means a steady stream of details have surfaced about the game ahead of time, and it turns out one of them has major implications for the anime.
So you have been warned! If you do not want to be spoiled on any part of Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, turns away now!
If you made it this far, then that means you are eager to see what's up with the game. The long-awaited title will give fans the chance to live out Dragon Ball Z for themselves, and the man behind Goku supervised its choices. With Akira Toriyama backing the game, its add-ons are being considered canon by many, and that means big things for a certain android.
After all, stills have gone live from the game which show off a special villain. The pictures popped up on Twitter and show Piccolo visiting a small town where he meets none other than Android 21. The research assistant, who debuted originally in Dragon Ball FighterZ, appears and tells Piccolo she visits the village to gather materials for her studies.
Up until now, Android 21 has only appeared in Dragon Ball FighterZ. She plays a heroine before letting her true nature shine through. It turns out the character is a villain looking to continue some of the Red Ribbon Army's research, and fans have come to embrace Android 21 like they have Android 18. By having this character appear in game, Android 21 has more credibility than ever and may ahead into full canon with some of Dragon Ball's pickier fans.
