Why do they still go by Android 17 and 18 instead of using their real names?

17 needs to be retcon'd. I hate him!

Because they're shit characters with zero personality that no one gives a shit about but are shoved down our throats anyway to promote toys.

17 is the greatest DBS character. If you hate him you're a faggot.

Wasn't there was something about it being "programmed" to them? Lapis couldn't call herself anything but 18 that and other "logical" limitations also made them hate their creator.

'cause they can't recall basically anything before being androids.

What are their names?

17: Lapis.
18: Lazuli.

They tried. The fans didn't give a fuck.

The same way they refuse to acknowledge that Vegeta is a jobber.

There we have it then.
17 is just on a first name basis with everything.
And 18 took Krillin's last name, which he doesn't have, leaving her just 18.

no you retard those names are their first names not their last names.
As for the actual topic, it's most likely because they had some of their memories wiped. It is the only explanation because their names have only been confirmed in a Toriyama interview after the serialisation ended, not in any source material itself.

17 is a known chuuni so it's not surprising that he identifies more with his android name than his human one. 18 is a weirder case, she might just do it because 17 does it, she buys into him a lot.

She does it so she can still say she's 18 and technically not be lying even after all these years have passed.

but v-vegeta isn't a fucking j-jobber though!

he's the best character in super

> she might just do it because 17 does it, she buys into him a lot.
Good imouto, they make a cute couple.

Don't the names show up on their blueprints in DBZ inside Jiro's lab?

CALL HIM JOBHAN ONE MORE TIME WAIFUFAGS

Gojob

Better question
Why does this moron still go by Goku instead of using his real name?

shut up vegeta

odd way to spell Frieza

18 is awesome. I want to fug her

It's because Android 17 & 18 is more recognizable and more marketable.

the sad thing about the Droids is that we will never see them again.
