Thank you for taking the time to state the case for your edits, Davide. A throw-away mention in Dragonball and an unusual usage of 
the word in a separate fantasy manga/anime does however not weigh heavier than the dictionaries quoted. Sci-fi/fantasy authors in 
particular often imbue unorthodox meanings to already existing words as part of their world creation. Unless this usage at least 
partially enters mainstream language use, it's not really our job to record that here. 
Your new reference is just the previous version of this very entry (this is JMDict - check the top of the page) as it were before 
Rene removed the "cyborg" gloss.

No, pardon me.
If something is official is not automatically correct, and this is the case: the definition of "Androids", in Dragon Ball, is limited. Many things 
in the English Dragon Ball version are wrong. Indeed, as I said, jinzouningen is a big-category, in which there are robots, cyborgs and living 
beings (humanoids/human-based) created or modified artificially. In Dragon Ball, N° 8 is a robot, N°16 is a robot, N°17 is a cyborg, N°18 is 
another cyborg (she can even give birth), N°19 is a robot and so on: all are jinzouningen.


Are jinzouningen also the Homunculus, in Fullmetal Alchemist, beings created with "magic" (alchemy), and they are not robots, are "super humans", 
in flesh and bones but with super powers. See for example the introduction of Fullmetal Alchemist Live Action on Netflix, and you will hear the two 
main characters talking about artificial humams (the homunculus) as jinzouningen.

Strangely, if I search jinzouningen here on Jisho it will appear an entry with only "robot, cyborg (and Android)". Only if I click on "read more" 
appear also artificial human, the main translation (but cyborg is gone). 

I will not insist longer, but my advice is to insert firstly the literally meaning, artificial human, and then the variuous things that belongs to 
its cateogry: robot, cyborg, etc.

  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).

I don't have access to nikk either, since 
it disappeared from yahoo. But since it's 
tagged ok and passed inspection, I think 
it's fair to assume it's correct unless 
somebody with a copy of nikk says 
different.
