Wildman - I'm not really mad, I've just been in a very bad mood for 40 years!

Hi! I'm your Sub-Editor for 'Dragonball Z:- The Anime TV Hit' and the copy I'm working on is at A2524411

I've had a run-through of the entry and made a few changes to bring it into line with standard house style. Hopefully none of the changes will be too offensive, but if there's anything you disagree with, please tell me and we can try to work things outsmiley - winkeye.

There is one particular bit of the entry that is giving me a bit of difficulty however - in the sections for 'the androids saga' and the 'cells' sagas, the numbering of the androids don't seem to match up.
I haven't touched those bits as I don't know exactly where the numbers come from and what they mean. I'd appreciate it if you could clear this point up for me.

Hoping to hear from you,
Wildmansmiley - headhurts

#17 and #18 are their names aswell.


They're the two main androids created by Dr. Gero (who is actually #20 aswell smiley - biggrin )


They're just numbers in which they were made... There's a #13 #14 #15 (those three appear in one of the films) #16 #17 #18 #19 #20 and #21 (Cell) but they're just the order of creation...

I'm not sure how to actually explain it. They're all created to destroy Goku...

The Androids Saga: Following Trunks' prediction, two androids (Androids #19 and #20) arrive and start destroying everything in sight... but they're not the androids that Trunks meant...

The Imperfect Cell Saga: Another android travels back in time from Trunks' future and is obsessed with absorbing androids #17 and #18 to make himself 'perfect'.




okay, Trunks comes from the future to warn Goku of androids #17 and #18 but #19 and #20 appear instead (at first)... the numbers areright though.

Sorry about the delay in getting back to you, but RL (especially the SRG Towel Day meet), has been kinda hectic.

I had trouble trying to work out a way of explaining the android numbers without going into complicated detail so I thought that it might be simpler just to miss out the numbers completelysmiley - winkeye.
Please let me know what you thinksmiley - ok.

As far as I can see, this looks pretty much done and ready to be sent on to the Editors for a place in the queue for the front page - do you have anything that you object to and want changed?

Hoping to hear your opinions.......
