Update #2 [Thu 24th Feb, 2022 02:05 GMT]: Android 21 (Lab Coat) is now available as paid DLC, she'll set you back $4.99 or your regional equivalent.
Update [Sun 20th Feb, 2022 00:45 GMT]: To conclude Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour 2022, Bandai Namco announced Android 21 (Lab Coat) would be joining the battle next week on February 24.
Original story [Sun 13th Feb, 2022 03:05 GMT]: At the end of last year, Bandai Namco surprised the Dragon Ball FighterZ community with the announcement of another DLC character. The 'Lab Coat' version of Android 21 was revealed during Jump Fiesta and was said to be coming soon.
Bandai Namco has now provided a small update - teasing another look at the Android 21 (Lab Coat) at the upcoming Dragon Battle Hour, which will return next week.
Fans of Dragon Ball FighterZ will be able to see the DLC character at "high-level play" in a special tournament made up of representatives from U.S.A West, U.S.A East, Europe and Japan. Here are the rules tied to this character for this special tournament:
"Android 21 (Lab Coat) will be the only character who is not part of the draft. Each player will have to use Android 21 (Lab Coat) at least one time! If a player does not choose Android 21 (Lab Coat) at the beginning of a match, they will only be able to switch to Android 21 (Lab Coat) as a counter pick after losing a match. Enjoy watching high-level play of DBFZ's new DLC character!"
As previously noted, the 'Majin' version of Android 21 was already a playable fighter in the game, and the character is a collaborative effort between Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama and Arc System Works.
This latest DLC announcement follows on from FighterZ Pass 3 - feat Gogeta, Goku, Kefla, Master Roshi and Super Baby 2.

I really like it when fighting games make alternate versions of characters like this or Dr. Mario seperate characters with unique moves/stats/animations instead of costumes. Games like kart racers where characters are purely cosmetic on the other hand... not so much.
No way, they're announcing Android 21? No way, so soon after the last version? And strange that Google skipped verisons 13-20.
I know this is probably stupid to ask, but are we going to need to pay for it? they haven't said anything about that, not that I care, because I have been waiting for human 21.
Till now, the only way you could play her was is Xenoverse.
@Royalblues I still hope we get the good version of Majjin 21 that we saw in the story mode, I know it was only the change to the eyes, and if they were to add it, they would have to make a intro animations, But I liked playing as her in story mode.
I want people to start reffering to me like Dragon Ball Characters.
CHUCK (COLLEGE FORM)
SUPER HUNGRY 3 CHUCK
CHUCK (KINDERGARDEN FLASHBACK ARC)
POST DAYQUIL CHUCK
@PBandSmelly You forgot The post PB arc chuck 😡
@Snatcher
Filler content isn't canon, that's common knowledge DUH
@PBandSmelly Ah, I forgot.
But is it at least good filler? 🧐
@Snatcher
Well, I really like this new wife side character at least
@PBandSmelly So not bad for a filler eh?
I only got the main game on sale. Refuse to pay for DLC
@WaveBoy What attacks do you mean?
I’m super excited for her. My biggest complaint against fighters up till now was that I loved good 21 and wanted to play as her. As such I’m super happy for this.
Dragon Ball FighterZ let's go! would've figured she was a hidden character but ig those days are long behind us. hyped and def going to be picking up FighterZ again
Totally going to check her out, I had to play xenoverse just to play lab 21. At long last I can play her in FighterZ!
But if I had to pick one character I would really want, It would be raditz, man didn't deserve getting picked over nappa.
I can't wait til they add Vegeta wearing one shoe as a fighter.
Was this the only announcement that came out of the Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour?
@Wilforce Whats worse is that they saved the date for the end.
So all that, just to say she was coming out next week, like yeah we knew that LOL.
Aww! I wanted yet another form of Goku! Phooey!
@HollowSpectre but at least it would be another Goku for Lythero to dunk if something like that were the case.
Should have been there from the start, I personally like this look better, the other one looks too similar to Buu to be its own unique design.
I don't see her yet, Must not be in my timezone.
I have to pay for this ? no thanks
@Snatcher Yeah, because she's not on the eshop for me even though I tried updating the game and the switch.
@Zanzox What! you have to pay for a DLC fighter? No way!
@MARIO23ACE Maybe she will come out midnight?
@Snatcher in fact... nowadays seems normal... but is not... btw is ridiculous also to pay for THIS fighter... when many more important fighters aren't in the game
@Zanzox she’s a bonus fighter, of course she’s not in line with other characters, because she’s a bonus.
And it’s actually pretty normal for fighters to have payed characters.
However, I do agree that it does kinda suck we have to pay for a fighter that should have been in the game.by default but oh well, it’s only five smackers.
@Snatcher I perfectly understand your reasons, but 5 bucks ... some great indie games cost 5 bucks, I found some week ago Guilty gear XX reload at 3,50 on sale...
Also it's a pretty old game with more than half roster as dlc ... I thought they gave him at least this as present.
@Zanzox I feel like its also there fault if people thought it was free.
They just showed up out of nowhere and said "Hey look, a new Fighter" And so its not out of the realm of possibility if it was a gift fighter, even I thought so.
So your reaction is pretty understandable.
Yeah, a gift fighter to build hype, or available free as a purchase bonus for FighterZ Pass 3 (or all three) alongside a standalone payment. Heck, got Mewtwo for Smash 4 and Piranha Plant for Ultimate as purchase bonuses, so I’d assumed there’d be something besides a flat fiver.
