No death record is registered in this range. This does not prove survival.
These notes preserve uncertainty or explain a counting boundary. They are not added to death or revival totals.
Piccolo speculates that it would not be surprising if the wish to revive those killed by Cell had brought Android 17 back as well. Android 17 is later confirmed to be active, but this explanation alone does not establish whether or when a death and revival occurred. Absorption is not equated with death, and no confirmed death or revival record is added.
