Comments: | That a character in a manga referred to "人造人間" as a form of "サイボーグ" is irrelevant here, esp. as these are apparently officially called "androids" in the English version. All Japanese dictionaries treat 人造人間 as a synonym of ロボット. A cyborg is something different, both in English and Japanese dictionaries. |

Comments: | A cyborg is an organism, like we humans, that was modified with artificial parts. It belongs to the macro-category of jinzouningen, as well as androids/robots (completely mechanical things that resembles humans). Please, insert cyborg entry too. In the reference that I've upload, the character talks about N° 19 and N°20 jinzouningen as cyborgs. All the jinzouningen in Dragon Ball (but not only) are different kinds of jnz: for example, N°8 is a robot, N°17 and 18 are cyborgs, N°16 is another robot and Cell is an organism created from zero by a scientist. So, jinzouningen is, like a said, a macro-category, that include androids, cyborgs and organisms created from zero (with science or magic; about jnz created with magic/alchemy, see for example the introduction of Fullmetal Alchemist Live Action, on Netflix). |

Comments: | Artificial human is the literal meaming. Robot and cyborg are only two type of things that belongs to jinzouningen's category. For example, also a human created with magic or alchemy (like in Fullmetal Alchemist) is a jinzouningen, an artificial human. "Artificianthrope" is a my neologism, that derive from "ARTIFICIal" + "anthrope", human in Greek. |
