The Sadistic 18 (サディスティック 18, Sadisutikku Jūhachi) is a rush attack used by Artificial Human No. 18.
Usage[edit]
First, No. 18 says, "I'll enjoy this." as she charges at her opponent and punches them up into the air. Next, she flies after her opponent to elbow them in their face, roundhouse kick their arm, and sweep kick them. Then, she grabs her opponent by their leg and throws them down to the ground where she teleports beside them to kick them in the stomach. Finally, No. 18 shouts, "It's over!" as she turns around to blast her opponent with a yellow Finger Beam, inflicting a massive amount of damage.
History[edit]
Dragon Ball Z[edit]
No. 18 used this attack most in her battle against Vegeta in his Super Saiyan form and the other Z Warriors. Using the attack, No. 18 managed to outclass Vegeta, break his arm, and defeat him along with Future Trunks Brief, who had joined the battle first to try and help Vegeta.
Films[edit]
No. 18's future self used the last part of the Sadistic 18 in Dragon Ball Z: The History of Trunks. While Future No. 18 became bored from watching her brother destroy buildings, an injured man crawled out of some nearby rubble. Unfortunately for the man, Future No. 18 sensed him and killed him with the Sadistic 18 rush's Finger Beam.
Video games[edit]
Sadistic 18 is named in the Budokai Tenkaichi video game series and is Android 18's Ultimate Blast. In Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi and Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2, it originally included slaps and knee strikes.
