surprisingly good, and thought highly of Android 21 as a "delightful new character" who eats the warriors she transforms into snack foods. Chris Moyes from Destructoid said Android 21 is a "femme-fatale scientist" who won over many fans with her debut appearance, praising her "great visual design, complex moveset and mischievous-but-deadly personality", as well as her ability to turn her enemies into desserts as a good party trick. Comicbook.com staff highlighted her status as a female character who can physically compete with the predominantly male cast of characters in the Dragon Ball series. Nick Valdez from Comicbook.com, praised Android 21 for her "great character design", as well as her "compelling story that makes her stand out from other villains in the series". He argued that Android 21 is the one aspect of FighterZ that Dragon Ball fans love "above all else", and that she should be properly introduced into the series canon. Commenting on her appearance in the animated opening credits of World Mission in a April 2018 post, Valdez was of the view that "while this may not be the full anime debut of the character as fans were expecting, it does show how well the character makes the jump to animation". The second playable version of Android 21 has been met with a divisive response from the fighting game community. Some players criticized the character's gameplay as being unbalanced and claimed that the opportunity to play as the character in competitive matches, particularly in serious tournaments, has led to declining interest and investment in FighterZ from high profile professional players.
