Dragon Ball Heroes: Android 17's Unusual Ability

For the past couple of years, the "Dragon Ball Super" franchise has reinvented itself by adding new adventures, concepts, powers, and characters to the original story. However, in recent months, another series has taken the spotlight: "Dragon Ball Heroes".

The promotional series for the video game "Super Dragon Ball Heroes" introduced even more elements that at the time seemed improbable. Since its premiere last year, the show seems to have reached a climax with its latest episode.

The anime continues the adventures of the classic heroes from "Dragon Ball", who are pursuing a new group of villains that want to dominate the different universes. With Metal Cooler fighting against Cumber (Kanba) once again, fans were relieved to discover that Android 17 would join the battle.

What no one expected was his unexpected connection to Oran and Kamin. These robotic android villains have been associated with Android 17 through their history. All of the fighters are androids but they come from different places.

One would think that the strangeness would end here, but this is not the case. It turns out he can recognize them by their scent. When he arrives on the battlefield, the hero takes a moment and stops.

He realizes something about the evil pair, and that's how he can recognize them as androids once he catches their distinctive scent. This technique may seem useless, but to be honest, he managed to discover something about his enemies with this ability.

Some have deemed this ability as 'too much' for "Dragon Ball Heroes", while others have taken the revelation of a new power for Android 17 quite well. Ultimately, it's unusual for an android to be able to know about another just by their scent.
