Android 8 (人じん造ぞう人にん間げん８号ごう, Jinzōningen Hachi-Gō), who goes by the name Eighter (８はっちゃん, Hacchan) as suggested by Goku, is Dr. Gero's eighth Android creation. He is designed to serve the Red Ribbon Army but is seen as faulty because of his good-spirited nature.
Android 8 is an android that takes on the form of a large, stocky man resembling Frankenstein's monster - whom he is presumably based off, with short dark blue hair, a large cylindrical cranium, thick brows, no visible eyebrows, large oval eyes with small pupils, a wide nose, a large jaw, and two stitched scars: one across his forehead, and the oth...
Despite his brutish, menacing appearance, Android 8 is actually a kind, good-natured, placid, docile, and peaceful individual who detests violence, refusing to follow the cruel orders of Ninja Murasaki and General White, which leads to them berating him as a "failure". However, despite his pacifistic nature, Android 8 would fight when angered, as seen when he punched General White out of the Muscle Tower after he had shot Goku.
In The Path to Power, Android 8 has some different traits from his main timeline counterpart. While he is controlled by General White, he is a mindless brute that follows White's orders and he can hurt anyone without repairs, however, this changes quicky when he recovers his emotional feelings. In the movie is shown that he likes to play with snowballs, having a cheerful side. Unlike his main timeline counterpart, Android 8 is disposed to fight since the first moment, as when he comes to Goku's aid when he is confronting Staff Officer Black, and he was disposed to sacrifice himself for his friend even knowing that his rival is stronger, something that snaps Goku and push himself into a severely powered up state.
Background
Android 8 is the eighth of the Red Ribbon Androids created by Dr. Gero. Android 8 was an entirely artificial construct. In anime filler, it is said that Android 8 was a Human-type Earthling who died and was resurrected as a human-based model android by Dr. Flappe on the orders of General White. To solve the discrepancy of Android 8's creator, Daizenshuu 7 suggests that Dr. Flappe and Dr. Gero were colleagues both involved with Android 8's construction.
The Path to Power
Android 8 appears in the The Path to Power, which is a retelling of the early Dragon Ball story altered for theatrical purposes. Android 8 is first seen in Muscle Tower under the control of General White, who orders Android 8 to attack Goku, to which he does. Later, however, Android 8 comes to his emotional feelings and does not want to attack the boy, thus, General White deems Android 8 "a failure", and a waste of the millions of dollars spent on designing him. Goku manages to defeat General White with his Power Pole, saving Android 8's life before White can blow him up with his self-destruct device. Android 8 and Goku later play in the snow, where Goku names Android 8 "Eighter", delighting the latter. When Goku offers Eighter the chance to join him and his friends on their quest for the Dragon Balls, Eighter decides instead to stay behind and report the RRA members near the tower to the police. One major plot change is that Android 8 is later destroyed by the newly titled Commander Black of the "Black Ribbon Army" at the Red Ribbon Army Headquarters, which causes Goku to snap and push himself into a severely powered up state, allowing him to destroy the giant Battle Jacket that Black is inside, which ultimately kills Black. After Commander Black is defeated, Goku uses the Dragon Balls to wish Android 8 back to life with the bomb inside of him removed.
Battle of Gods
Android 8 appears in the prologue when the narrator recaps the adventures and rigorous battles fought by Goku and his friends along with their journey to collect the 7 Dragon Balls to make a wish to Shenron whenever they needed them.
Super Hero
Android 8 makes a cameo appearance during the Red Ribbon Army recap.
Attack of the Saiyans
In Attack of the Saiyans, Eighter finds one of the Dragon Balls near Penguin Village. Unfortunately, General White survived Android 8's punch and returns to the ruins of Muscle Tower with other Red Ribbon Army members who survived the army's defeat. They manage to capture Android 8 who is brainwashed to serve the Red Ribbon Army. However thankfully, Goku had been temporarily revived by Fortuneteller Baba to assist the Dragon Team in collecting the Dragon Balls to revive him to confront the Saiyans. The Dragon Radar leads them to Muscle Tower, where Goku reunites with Suno who informs him of what happened to Eighter and he resolves to save his friend and stop the Red Ribbon Army's plans once more. General White orders Android 8 to fight the Dragon Team alongside him in an attempt to take revenge on Goku. However neither is a match for Goku and his friends who have been training to confront the Saiyans. Defeated, Android 8 is freed and reverts to his original personality. After giving the Dragon Ball to Goku and his friends, Eighter returns with Suno to continue his peaceful life in Jingle Village.
Kakarot
Saiyan Saga In Kakarot, Android 8 appears in the East Ravine Area during the Saiyan Saga Episode 2 when Goku and Piccolo travel to the region while following the Dragon Radar to find his brother Raditz who had abducted his nephew Gohan to force Goku to exterminate the Earthling population. If Goku speaks to him, this leads to the Sub Story "Gentle Giant". The introduction cutscene that triggers when Goku speaks to him, his in-game moniker is Kindhearted Android and he is identified by his nickname Eighter. Sub Story: Goku is surprised to see his old friend who recognizes the now adult Goku. Goku asks what he's doing in East Ravine and Eighter explains that he heard that some of the Red Ribbon Army's RR Mech Soldiers had been rampaging in the region and came to stop them. However he notes he dislikes fighting and so Goku who loves to fight offers to take care of the Rampaging Robots for his old friend which Eighter agrees to. After destroying the robots, Goku returns and informs Android 8 who is relieved that the robots can no longer hurt anyone. Completing this Sub Story, rewards Goku with Eighter's Soul Emblem for the Community Boards. Additionally afterwards, Eighter can be encountered in certain areas during different points in the story. Intermission 1 During the first Intermission after the Saiyan Saga, Android 8 can be found visiting the farm near the lake Fish Spot in the West Area of Earth where Gingertown and West City are located. Frieza Saga & Intermission 2 During the Frieza Saga Episode 1 and second Intermission after the Frieza Saga, Android 8 can be found near on a stone land bridge near the dinosaur research facility in East Ravine Area. If spoken to, he reveals he's taking pictures of various locations he is visiting to show to Suno after he returns to Bells Village. Cell Saga During the Android conflict, Android 8 can be found in Bells Village located near Darlinge Polynya in the Northern Mountains Area. Eighter helps out the village by collecting firewood as he can handle the cold. Unbeknownst to him, the secret lab of his creator Dr. Gero is located not far from the ruins of Muscle Tower. Like most of the Earth's population, he is ignorant of the Dragon Team's conflict with the Red Ribbon Androids. The Dragon Team visit the region while on the hunt for Android 20 to prevent him from activating Android 17 and Android 18. After Dr. Gero is killed by 17 & 18 who release Android 16, the Android modelled after Dr. Gero's deceased son Gevo, the Dragon Team confronts the three Androids, only to be defeated though their lives are spared. Android 8 however has his own problems, as he confronts two hunters that are engaged in poaching the local Dinosaur population. While he has no problem with people hunting them for food or killing them in self defense, he objects to the poachers hunting of dinosaurs for profit. Fortunately Future Trunks and Krillin are in the area following the battle with 17 & 18. Unaware Eighter is an Android, Future Trunks approaches them and overhears that the poachers have already sent out hunting robots to slay the dinosaurs for them and Android 8 is powerless to stop them. However Future Trunks kindly tells Eighter, he will deal with the robots. After defeating the robots, Future Trunks returns to inform Eighter and the poachers, though the poachers initially refuse to believe it until they realize the robot are no longer producing a signal and are surprised that the young man was able to defeat them, before leaving claiming they'll get him back. Eighter thanks Future Trunks for his assistance and notes that he reminds him of his friend Goku, causing Future Trunks to reveal he is an ally of Goku's as well. However Future Trunks decides not to inform Eighter of Goku's illness. Later during the wait for the Cell Games, Goku can encounter Eighter in the forest overlooking Bells Village, at first Eighter doesn't recognize Goku due to him being in his Super Saiyan Full Power form, but is happy to see his friend. Eighter reveals that he's been feeling sluggish lately and thinks one of his components is to blame. Goku decides to use Instant Transmission to take Eighter to the Capsule Corporation. As Bulma is busy working on repairing the damage Android 16 suffered fighting Cell, Goku asks Dr. Brief to help diagnose the problem. Dr. Brief reveals that like Android 16, Android 8 is a Mechanical-type Android albeit an older model which makes repairing him more difficult as Android 17's blueprints won't be much help. Though it is a longshot, Goku decides to investigate the ruins of Dr. Gero's Lab in the hope he may find something to aid Dr. Brief so he can fix Eighter. Returning to the Northern Mountains Area, Goku investigates the wreckage initially only finding broken computers and test tubes. However, eventually he finds some burnt papers which appear to have information on Android 16, though Goku has trouble due to their condition and his limited understanding science in general. Despite this, he hopes the papers are enough information or will make more sense to Dr. Brief so he can use it to help repair Android 8. But, before he can leave, he is confronted by a old Red Ribbon Army Guard Robot which was apparently designed to defend Dr. Gero's Lab and somehow survived the lab's destruction. Despite Goku's Super Saiyan Full Power form, the robot is able to identify Goku (indicating the robot may have specifically been programmed to defend the lab from the hated Goku in the event he ever found Dr. Gero's Lab). Fortunately the robot is no match for Super Saiyan Full Power Goku. With the robot dealt with, Goku returns to the Capsule Corporation and Dr. Brief is able to use the papers Goku found to successfully repair Eighter who feels better. Additionally introducing him to Dr. Brief, the Android knows he can go to the Capsule Corporation should he require any repairs in the future. Post Majin Buu Saga After the defeat of Kid Buu, it is revealed that fellow Red Ribbon Android 17 has settled down in the Northern Mountains Area with his family and becomes the ranger for Darlinge Polynya allowing him to deal with any poachers targeting the local dinosaur population, thus Eighter doesn't have to worry about dealing with poachers.
Due to Android 8's hatred of fighting, the true extent of his power is unknown. However, even after seeing Goku defeat Major Metallitron, an android who previously gave Goku a hard time, General White is still confident that Goku would stand no chance against Android 8. He is durable enough to take a blast from General White's Powered Gun with no v...
•Self Destruct Device: Android 8 can kill himself to create a huge energy wave.
•Hikou: Android 8 can fly with great speed as seen in The Path to Power. Being an Android he lacks ki to use Flight and is instead outfitted with a special device that allows him to fly.
•Android Bomb: Like most Androids, Android 8 had a bomb implanted in his chest, giving him the ability to self-destruct. He lost this ability after the bomb was removed by Dr. Flappe. In the video game, Dragon Ball: Origins 2 the bomb is removed by Senbei Norimaki.
•Eighter's Anger: Android 8 releases a massive fiery wave of energy similar to Super Explosive Wave. This attack is named and only seen in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3. This is most likely inspired by Android 8's self-destruction ability before the bomb he had was removed by Dr. Flappe.
•Eighter Attack: Android 8 zooms through the air out into the distance with his arm out and flies into the opponent.
•You Hurt Goku!: Android 8's ultimate attack in Budokai Tenkaichi 3. Android 8 attacks the opponent with a punch that sends his opponent reeling. He then repeatedly uses chop and punch-like attacks to beat the opponent further backward, finishing them off with a massive punch that sends them flying across the stage. This move was likely inspired by the punch he used to defeat General White.
Brainwashed
In Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans, General White captures Android 8 whom he brainwashes to serve the resurgent Red Ribbon Army. In this form, Eighter's pupils disappear and he becomes a mindless brute that follows General White's orders. However after the Dragon Team defeats both Eighter and General White, he is freed from White's control and reverts back to his true gentle-hearted self.
