Would it ever happen in official Dragon Ball ? Almost certainly not. Toriyama prefers simplicity, and Toyotaro follows suite. But in the endless, interdimensional playground of fan imagination, Android 18 has already made her wish.
Whis and Vados arrive. They explain that mortal wishes on the Super Dragon Balls cannot be undone, but they can be redirected . To save her sanity, Android 18 must enter the Subspace of Time (from Dragon Ball Online / Xenoverse ) and defeat the echo of the wish itself—a manifestation called The Updater .
Strange beings start appearing on Earth—not invaders, but refugees from erased timelines. They call Android 18 “The Nexus.” She realizes her body is passively connecting dimensions. A fragment of Zamasu’s soul begins whispering to her through a rift in her own chest.

Canonically, the Super Dragon Balls were created by the Dragon God Zalama. But what if Zalama’s power is neutral, not benevolent? An interdimensional wish could overwrite Android 18’s personality matrix.
And somewhere, in a timeline adjacent to ours, What do you think? Should Android 18 receive an interdimensional upgrade in a future Dragon Ball arc? Share your own wish-list abilities in the comments below—just be careful what you wish for. The Super Dragon Balls might be listening.
Android 18 feels left behind. Krillin encourages her. They find the Super Dragon Balls (with help from Jaco and a cameo by the Galactic Patrol). She makes the wish. The U Update manifests. At first, she is overjoyed.
