Three years later on an island nine miles south-west of South City, two Androids appear: Android 19 and Android 20, with Yamcha the first to mistakingly encounter them. Before meeting them, scouters in Dr. Gero measured an extremely high power level that's way off the scale. Not knowing that the human is Yamcha he mistakes him for Goku (By power level readings). As they spot him Android 19 identifies a human as Yamcha. Dr. Gero states that they can get a lot of energy from him. Then they land behind Yamcha. Unaware of who they are Yamcha merely warns them to be on the lookout for dangerous Androids. He is horrified when he sees the Red Ribbon emblem, "R.R." on Android 20's hat. At the same time, Doctor Gero merely says: "We are they."

During the ensuing search, Gero attacks Piccolo from behind, only to be foiled by Gohan. He tries to fight Piccolo head-on, but Piccolo, Gero's superior by far as a result of 3 years of intense training with Super Saiyan Goku(without the heart virus), mercilessly severs his arm and prepares to destroy him when he retreats once again into the rocky mountains. Later on, Gero is caught again just after he activates Android 17 and 18, who brutally murder him in response by severing his head.

Gero is not seen again until the final anime-filler segments of Dragon Ball Z. By means unknown, Gero has been permitted by King Yemma to keep his body while entering Hell. Along with Cell, Freeza, King Cold and the Ginyu Force, Gero watches the final battle between Goku and Majin Buu, being one of the very few people cheering for Majin Buu. Dr. Gero does not appear in the original Dragon Ball, and was not even credited with the creation of the Red Ribbon Army's robots and androids, as his character was not conceived at the time. Originally nobody knew who created the R.R Army's mechanical warriors, although Dr. Flappe was credited with the creation of the R.R Army's mechanical warriors in the anime, but he is considered non-canon due to his absence in the manga.

Dragon Ball GT In Dragon Ball GT Dr. Gero is first seen in hell along with Dr. Myuu. There, they worked on a plan to create the ultimate android which could destroy Son Goku. They came up with a plan to combine both of their technologies and get a perfect android by fusing two Android 17s. They then created a dimensional hole to get both androids in the same place - Earth. During the fight with Vegeta and the others, he is betrayed by Dr. Myuu who commanded Super Hell Fighter 17 to kill him, leading to his somewhat ironic death (Killed by Android 17 again), which saddened Gero greatly, since his creation once again betrayed him. Android 17 and Android 18, like Gero, are not completely machine, rather being partially organic to some extent (as shown when 18 described it and the fact that 18 conceived a child), and therefore are human.

Spoilers end here. Andriod 20 It is important to note that Android 20 is NOT Dr. Gero himself. Android 20 is a mechanical-type robot that was built by Dr. Gero, but not given a brain.

Android 20 can absorb Ki attacks through one of his palms, but Piccolo ripped it off. 20 ran back to his lab and as a last resort he activated Androids 17 and 18 who later killed him.
