Ep. 134: Androids 17 and 18 awaken and kill Dr. Gero before heading to Goku's residence.
Aired on April 8, 1992

Androids 17 and 18, responsible for Earth's future destruction, have awakened. They ignore Dr. Gero's orders to activate Android 16, instead killing him. Trunks destroys the laboratory to prevent the activation, but the blast fails to affect the androids. Android 16 remains in his chamber, unfazed by the explosion. The trio then awakens Android 16 and proceeds toward Goku's residence to carry out their mission. This sequence marks a critical turning point as the androids unite and move closer to their target, disregarding their creator's commands in favor of their primary objective.
