| “ | Gohan, let it go. It is not a sin to fight for the right cause. There are those who words alone will not reach. Cell is such a being. I know how you feel, Gohan. You are gentle; you do not like to hurt. I know because I, too, have learned these feelings, but it is because you cherish life, that you must protect it. Please, drop your restraints. Protect the life I loved. You have the strength. My scanners sensed it. Just let it go. | „ |

Other Attributes[]
List of Equipment: Nothing notable
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Energy Attack: The most basic form of energy wave used by androids.
- Goku Termination Program: Android 16 was originally programmed by Dr. Gero to kill Goku. The program contains information on Goku such as his address, fighting style, and techniques. The program causes Android 16 to be cold towards Goku during the Cell Games though he refrained from trying to kill him due to the threat posed by Cell. Named in World Mission, it appears as one of Android 16's Abilities. At the start of a battle, 5x his own PWR if Goku or Goku (GT) is on the enemy team. However, when he was reconstructed by Android 21 he lacked his original program to terminate Goku (either omitted by 21 or lost when Cell destroyed his body leaving only his memory intact).
- Bear Hug: A torture hold used against Perfect Cell.
- Eye Beam: A synthetic form of Eye Laser. Android 16 used this attack against Cell.
- Hell's Flash: Android 16 lifts his opponent and tosses them to the ground, then he removes his hands, revealing two built-in cannons, and charges up energy before shouting "Hell Flash!!" to release a powerful beam of energy that scorches the opponent. Android 16 used Hell's Flash against Imperfect Cell, attempting to kill him before he could absorb Androids 17 and 18.
- Machine Impact: A dashing shoulder block attack that Android 16 used against Cell.
- Rocket Punch: A technique where Android 16 launches one of his arms or fists at his opponent in the manner of a rocket, and then it explodes on colliding with someone or something
- Self-Destruction: Originally intended to be used against Goku, a self-destruct device implanted within Android 16 can incite arguably his most powerful technique. In an act of suicide, Android 16 sneaks behind his opponent, grabbing them and then detonating the bomb inside his chest. Android 16 tries using the self-destruct device against Perfect Cell but fails due to the unforeseen removal of the bomb by Bulma and her father, Dr. Brief, who were very surprised to find that such a powerful bomb had been embedded inside.
- Hyper Cannon: Android 16 fires three consecutive KI Blasts at the opponent.
