Editing Android 19 (section)

== Trivia ==

* '''Original Concept:''' According to Akira Toriyama, Androids 19 and 20 were initially meant to be the androids foretold by Future Trunks. However, due to former editor Kazuhiko Torishima's feedback that they appeared "outdated and ridiculous," Toriyama decided to introduce Androids 17 and 18 instead.
* '''Liquid Leakage:''' When Vegeta rips off Android 19's hands, red liquid leaks from his arms, resembling blood. However, as a synthetic android, he should be losing oil. Vegeta even refers to it as oil in the original series.
* '''Brain Case:''' Android 19 has an electronic brain case under his hat, similar to Android 20's human brain case. In "Dragon Ball Fusions," this trait is shared with Androids 33, 44, and 55, although their brain cases are left uncovered.
* '''Loyalty:''' Except for Android 13, 14, and 15, Android 19 is the only android that follows Dr. Gero's orders without rebelling. Androids 17 and 18 rebelled and killed Dr. Gero, while Android 16 ignored his programming to help [[Gohan]] awaken his Super Saiyan 2 form.
* '''Fear:''' Despite his loyalty, Android 19 shows fear when overpowered by Super Saiyan Vegeta, considering retreat as his only viable option due to the loss of his arms.
* '''Return from Hell:''' Android 19 reappears when Android 17 and [[Hell Fighter 17]] open a portal between Earth and Hell. This trait is shared with [[Major Metallitron]]. The existence of artificial souls, as revealed in "Dragon Ball FighterZ," may explain why Androids like 19 and Metallitron ended up in Hell.
* '''Decapitation:''' Android 19 is decapitated on both occasions he is defeated, in "Dragon Ball Z" and "Dragon Ball GT."
* '''Voice Variations:''' In the original Japanese dub and most other dubs, Android 19 has a human-like voice. The Funimation dub features a nasally animatronic voice, though this filter is removed in the remastered season box sets. In the American Budokai series, his voice resembles [[Majin Buu]]'s.
* '''Special Dialogue:''' In the "Raging Blast" series, Android 19 accuses [[Chiaotzu]] of copying his looks, to which Chiaotzu responds, "Copy you, why would I?"
