I think it's to Super's detriment that they had Beerus in the BoG arc behave like a malicious dick. Beerus' characterization works far better as someone who's just supremely self-assured and doesn't go out of his way to be an rear end in a top hat.

Edit: Also the next chapter of the manga has photos floating around and in it Black gets the stuffing beaten out of him and requires an emergency heal by Future Zamasu.

Beerus is a malicious dick. That is literally his character.

Considering their backstory i's always seemed weird 18 stuck by that name once she was free from Gero's control and became a real person again, it's literally her slave name!

I always assumed that she was pretty happy with who she was now and wasn't very happy with who she was before so she was perfectly glad to get rid of all that baggage and marry the world's strongest man instead.

Do 17 and 18 even remember their human names? I thought that was the reason why it was only given in interviews/supplementary material.

I think she and her brother are Showa Kamen Rider style cyborgs. They look human on the outside, but everything inside has just about been replaced with the exception of a few organs.

Dont judge me, I design your manhole
Once they showed she can have kids I just figured there's some sort of circuitry going on throughout her body, and she still has most of her original insides. The real answer is Toryiama didn't think for even half a second as to what they actually are though, especially since we have Androids like and 16.

17 and 18 are stated to be a different type then 16 being modified humans instead of pure robot like him.

I think he's too lazy to be called malicious. He isn't petty like Champa, either (unless Champa is around). I guess I'd go with aloof? But like, all in on living the aloof lifestyle.

Deffo a dick though.

Androids 17 and 18 have bio-mechanical and cybernetic implants, can become stronger through training, and don't need to eat. They do need to drink water, however. Their cells deteriorate more slowly than normal ones, so they do age, but slower. Cell was able to merge with them by absorbing the bio-mechanical parts, which are organic substances modeled after human cells, not the cybernetics.

All of this is info from Toriyama in the 2014 full color Dragon Ball re-releases.

He is petty as gently caress, he had to be for the plot of BOGs to happen.
