Dr. Gero's Androids #13, #14, and #15 are awakened by the laboratory computers and immediately head to the mall where Goku is shopping.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was the first DBZ film to use digital ink and paint for select scenes, though most remained hand-colored cel animation.
Android 13's southern trucker aesthetic in his super form was reportedly inspired by American action movie villains popular in Japan during the late '80s—specifically the Terminator and Die Hard archetypes.
