Dragon Ball is a series with arguably the biggest reach when it comes to popularity as far as anime and manga go, which is shown when something goes viral in that community. This was exemplified when a person on X named @LeesiBB did a cosplay of one of the franchise's most popular female characters, Android 18, which has reached many fans.
Many Dragon Ball fans praised this cosplay as one of the finest in the community, especially because of the cosplayer's similarities to the character. Moreover, it also captures Android 18's fashion sense, which has also received a lot of praise throughout the years.

Dragon Ball fans celebrate recent Android 18 cosplay
Trending
As mentioned earlier, the X user named @LeesiBB posted her cosplay of Android 18, which went viral in the community. Some people claimed that this was "one of the best" cosplays out there regarding the character, which is quite impressive when considering how popular she is all over the anime fandom. That is because of a wide variety of reasons, including the physical similarities, the outfit, and the hairstyle.
The cosplayer captures the character's blonde look while also wearing an outfit similar to the one she wore during the Buu saga. Her fashion sense is a key aspect of her characterization. This is a testament to the dedication and commitment that some cosplayers have to do justice to the character in question, which is one of the reasons that this is one of the most popular sections of this industry.
Moreover, this post highlighted why Android 18 is one of the strongest female characters in the series and one of the most charismatic. While she didn't have a lot of fights in the franchise, the moment she fought Vegeta and broke her arm, she made a very strong first impression, to the point that this scene has become quite iconic in its own right.
More reactions
Android 18 was initially introduced as one of Dr. Gero's tools to kill Goku because of what happened with the Red Ribbon Army earlier in Dragon Ball, but she and her brother Android 17 have no interest in doing so. However, once she is absorbed by Cell, she spends most of the arc offscreen until she is spit out by the villain when fighting Gohan, finally gaining her freedom and the chance to live her life as she sees fit.
Eventually, during the seven-year time skip, she gets married to Krillin and has a daughter named Marron. Many have praised the stable relationship she has with Goku's best friend, which has been shown in GT and Super as well, much to the fandom's happiness.
"Android 18 proving once again why she’s the most iconic character in DBZ, perfection in every frame," someone said.
"Hopefully Cell doesn't show up," someone else said.
"Looking lovely as Android 18! A stunner," another person said.
This cosplay is another example of how passionate anime and manga fans can be when it comes to topics of this ilk, especially related to this franchise.
