You: OMG WHERE IS YOUR IMAGE GALLERY??@!!!!
Me: Right here, silly!!
Yes, I too have an image gallery of Juuhachi. However, I don't have enough of my own images to call it "the gallery." Besides, I've got all this other #18-related media, too. So pick your poison, and hopefully it'll satisfy. :D

OMG I met famous people! Er, famous on the internet, that is. At AnimeNEXT 2003, I ran into VegettoEX and his girlfriend Meri, the webmasters of Daizenshuu EX and Temple O' Trunks, respectively. This year, at AnimeNEXT 2004, I joined VegettoEX, Meri, and DaizenshuuEX's 2nd webmaster, Julian, for a Dragonball fan panel. We all shared a room together, along with an AMV buddy of theirs, McKeed. It was a TON of fun, and we spent a lot of time goofing off and making terribly bad Dragonball jokes. Below is a bit of our craziness captured on film...
Images!?!
All the images below, I happened to scan myself from my collection of posters and a doujinshi or two...so if you want to USE these pictures for anything, you MUST email me first to get permission! >.<
From my bootleg poster collection
(pardon the partial shots - I could only fit so much on the scanner)
- #18, hands in pockets, from a poster with the jinzouningen Trio & Son Goku.
- #18 with her family, from a poster of the Z crew at the end of DBZ
- Flying at you! From a cool poster with Trunks, Goku and 16 in it.
- Being pretty on a rock. From an awesome poster of just the trio. ^_^
- A nice profile shot of Juuhachi from a sweet Cell saga poster. ^_^
From a a Chinese movie book of the Trunks special (just a few pics I liked...)
- Juuhachi idly watching the carnage created by her brother
- Hmm, something caught her attention...
- A two-page spread of Juuhachi's shopping spree. :D
- Looking up at super saiyan Trunks from the debris.
From my only DBZ doujinshi...
- A pic of the twins from the back (or front?) cover of the book.
- "Mokuji" she says, from the table of contents page.
- The artist muses, draws herself in a RRA uniform...bonus pic of mini-Juuhachi. ^_^
- A nice, but sadly blurry, picture of Juuhachi in a loooovely dress.
- Alternate costumes for the lovely cyborg?
From the Dragonball comics, volumes 30 and 31
- A shot with 16 and 17 from the characters/story synopsis page.
- #18 looking like she really wants out of that cowboy out...won't #17 take her shopping?!
- A chibi Trio saying "mokuji," which I guess means "contents"
- An informative chart of Dr. Gero's jinzouningen. Chibiness involved.
- Profiles of the Trio from the front page of volume 31
- Another "mokuji" pic of the trio, from volume 31, too I think. ^_^
- The "classic" pose of #17 and #18, from the inside of volume 30, when they first appear
- That damn Vejita messed her hair up. Here she is fixing it. :D
- A page from the scene where #18 gets her detested cowgirl outfit. "This is the best you have?"
- A sweet picture of the Twins riding a tricked-out hover bike. One of my faves...
From the August 2003 Shonen Jump
- #18 being blunt with Vejita...I feel bad for his pride. Mwuahaa!
- Our lovely lady agreeing to fight the proud saiyan prince.
- Page 1 of #17's musings over Dr. Gero's method to create #16. (Read right to left, Nihon style)
- Page 2. More proof that #17 and #18 are cyborgs! Whee!
- Shonen Jump states blatantly that the twins are cyborgs. I feel so happy!
From the December 2003 Shonen Jump
- This is THE chart to refer to regarding what type of jinzouningen each of Gero's creations is. And thank ??? for the beautiful scan!
- Read right to left. This picture reveals previously unknown, exciting truths about the twins! Who knew???!
Shonen Jump mix: Just a huge handful of my favorite random images

- Sitting bored on the rock
- "He did it!"

- A hilarious image of 18 and Krillin
Music
mp3s - Now, you should all know by now that you should only be keeping these mp3s as a sample, and then buying the real CDs they're from. However, buying Japanese Dragonball Z soundtracks is somewhat difficult if you don't have the resources (like Yahoo! Japan or a legit retailer), and most likely the CD you bought off eBay or in Chinatown is a bootleg of the real thing. SO, if there is any problem with anyone, you should email me about it. For all you fans, though...enjoy! ^_^

- Jinzouningen Machi E (March of the Jinzouningen): 4:37 length. This is my favorite BGM from Dragonball Z. It's soooo good and evil sounding and Vejita is getting pounded by Juuhachi to this music. It plays throughout the Cyborg/Cell saga and in the Trunks movie, too. Good stuff!
- Perfume No. 18 ~Dangerous Fragrant Mix~: A peculiar, sultry kind of R&B song (kinda) that is enjoyable on it's own...but it has "No. 18" in it, so it makes me think this is supposed to be a song about 18 or from her point of view or something...and if that's the case, it's a weird song (considering half the words in the song are really suggestive). This song doesn't play anywhere in the series or in any movies, but you can find it on the DBZ 18 and 1/2 Special Super Remix CD. You can find the lyrics right here.
Bruce Faulconer CD - Perhaps some of you know by now that Bruce Faulconer, the composer for FUNimations dub of Dragonball Z, has his own CDs available of his compositions. And apparently, Juuhachi is one of his favorite characters because he and Meredith McCoy, #18's US dub voice actress, co-wrote a song about her. Meredith McCoy actually does the vocals, too. Along with that track is a 25 minute medley track of all the android saga music called "Android Compendium." It's pretty good stuff. The lyrics to "Android 18" are quite intersting, as well, and you can read them here. It's unknown if that is Meredith McCoy on the cover (McCoy's mother left an entry in my guestbook saying it wasn't her). The CD ranges from 15 to 18 bucks, depending on where you buy it (from Suncoast or Bruce Faulconer's official site...or somewhere else even). You can listen to sample tracks right here. ♥
Videos
Sorry, I tricked you. There aren't any real videos here. Yet. Just a cosplay video, and one I'm not certain about posting here on the shrine. Actually, I am certain. This is a video taken by the wonderful Chocobo Rancher (posted here with his permission, of course) of my first participation in an anime convention masquerade (AnimeNEXT 03 to be exact). Guess who I'm cosplaying? Ohhh yeah. You know. :D It's nothing too exciting or especially clever, but I'm proud of it. And the music rocks harder than your mom. You can't deny it.
