The character, Android 18, is a significant figure within the Dragon Ball universe, known for her cyborg enhancements and formidable fighting abilities. She undergoes a transformation in Dragon Ball Daima, as do many other characters, due to unforeseen circumstances within the narrative. Her role often involves both combat and, later in the series, domestic life after forming a family.
Her inclusion in Dragon Ball Daima provides a familiar anchor point for long-time fans while also offering a fresh perspective on a character who has evolved significantly throughout the Dragon Ball franchise. The alteration of established characters is a compelling narrative device, potentially adding layers of complexity to her motivations and interactions within the altered reality presented in the new series. This change can lead to exploration of her personality and powers in novel ways.
