In the world of Dragon Ball, the Androids are one of the worst villains Goku and friends have ever faced. Androids have been widely used in the Dragon Ball franchise as antagonists. Despite having their roots in the original Dragon Ball, the antagonistic Androids are most frequently connected to Dragon Ball Z.
This artificial race is characterized by its enormous strength of structure boundless force, near-immortality, and cruel lack of regard for human life. The Androids were stronger with every model that went by. They have no use for reason; their entire being is devoted to a single goal, which they will fight to achieve with no regard for how many acts of violence are involved.
Their goal is what drives them. While the Dragon Ball fighters have faced them multiple times, the protagonist of the series, Goku has a fighting trait that guarantees his win against the androids every single time. This fighting trait is one of the biggest abilities of the Saiyan and he has proved it worthy every single time he has fought against an Android or any other enemy for that matter.
The Androids in the Dragon Ball Universe
Androids are humans who are robotic or cyborg; Dr. Gero, the evil scientist, created the majority of them. It is said that the majority of androids possess boundless energy and life without end. They cannot be directly tracked using Scouters or Ki Sense because they are inorganic, or at least the ones created by Dr. Gero, except Cell.
Unlike Saiyans, Humans, and other species, they also lack a discernible aura. Since the fascist Red Ribbon Army developed and employed androids, they were first seen in the early episodes of the original Dragon Ball.
Among the originals were Android 8 and Major Metallitron, who would subsequently be surpassed by characters from Dragon Ball Z like Android 17 and 18. Dragon Ball GT also introduced some androids in its storyline. These androids include The Machine Mutants like the Sigma Force, Lord Luud, and General Rilldo. The androids in of the Dragon Ball franchise are a force to be reckoned with. However, one of Goku’s brilliant fighting traits could beat them all.

Goku Can Defeat All Androids in Dragon Ball
One of the most prominent fighting traits of Goku is that he can grow during his battles and fights. As he goes on fighting, his power levels and moves keep increasing and broadening, creating a difficult situation for the enemy in front of him. This has been seen multiple times in Goku’s fights against characters like Frieza and Jiren.
The problem with the Androids, except for Cell was that they were already programmed with the details they have on Goku, and not on what he can achieve in the future during the fight. Whenever Goku fought Androids, they could not judge his growth in the fight thus ultimately resulting in their defeat.
