'Dragon Ball Super' Spoilers: Android 17 Finally Gets to Fight Goku
One of the most highly anticipated events in the history of "Dragon Ball Super" is finally here. Spoilers for episode 86 reveal that Android 17 will make an explosive comeback as he fights Goku.
Although it has been a while since Android 17 made his robotic debut in the anime series, he has never really had the chance to meet Goku face-to-face. The short-haired baddie has been working as a park ranger for some time now and has already fought several Z-fighters in "Dragon Ball Z," except for Goku.
Fans were glad to see Android 17 transform from a notorious villain to a heroic fighter in the series. It can be recalled that after his transformation, there was a time when Android 17 haunted Goku's dreams while the latter was recovering from a lethal heart virus. Unfortunately, just when Goku was finally ready to face him head-on, Cell absorbed Android 17, preventing the pair from ever meeting.
