However Cell absorbed 18 and formed the Cell Games to fight the Z Fighters. Krillin agreed to the task but when the moment came, he had doubts because he was haunted by the kiss and no longer believed she was evil, and thus didn't deserve to die.Krillin ultimately decided he had fallen in love with her and destroyed the detonator, and asked 18 to let him help her and 16 escape after Cell absorbed 17. Bulma created a detonator to shut down the androids and instructed Krillin to do it.

Krillin remained perplexed by the kiss and began questioning whether or not she was truly evil. However before she left to find Goku, she shocked Krillin by kissing him on the cheek as a goodbye token.

When they finally meet, Krillin was afraid of her and 18 initially didn't pay attention to him, as she was more interested in fighting Vegeta and hunting down Goku to kill him. Due to this, Krillin went through intense training to prepare for the upcoming battle but secretly felt afraid of facing the androids. Three years prior to this meeting, all the Z Fighters were visited by Future Trunks, who told them that 17 and 18 would appear and cause massive havoc around the world that would result in the death of all the Z Fighters and a third of the world population. Gero was defeated by the Z Fighters and he desperately released 17 and 18 as a way to kill the Z Fighters but the two androids instead betrayed Dr.
