Because he didn't get it. Random dudes sacrificing themselves never does anything. Vegeta or Goku will literally watch that and then let the dude power up as much as possible, just for the shits and giggles. And then they (or gohan) will win anyway, rendering all sacrifices meaningless.

Why wasn't he revived with dragonballs?

Because he is an android, and they don't have feels, it's artificial.

Chiaotzu and Yamcha can attest to this as well

Can’t bring back fully mechanical beings

android means there is some semblance of a human in there.

He was literally just a plot device for gohan to asspull ss2.

speedreader, they specificaloy said that 16 was pure machine and not based from a human like 17 and 18

he was literally an android so he has no soul
17 and 18 are cyborgs

Japan uses the same phrase for cyborgs and androids, "artificial human", unfortunate localization since the first bunch you see were actual androids

Biomechanical like 17 and 18.

That’s just Gero wanting to keep a consistent naming theme. 17 and 18 are people with cybernetic bits added on, 16 is more like a terminator.

Kek, no.

>Android 8 was an entirely artificial construct

Yeah, he hardly saw Gohan before getting dusted. It just doesn't make sense that he'd turn SSJ2 for him.

But the birds.

That wiki is filled with misinformation based on dub only dialogue.

The source is a 2014 interview with Toriyama.

>9-12
So does that mean 13, 14, and 15 from the Super Android 13 movie are canon?

It means it's outdated and Toriyama adds whatever nonsensical crap he wants to the story and let's his minion trace his old work. This is the fate of one of the most influential anime series.

NOOOOOOOOO THE CELL SAGA HAS AMAZING WRITING! YOU CAN'T SAY THAT
