Is it weird that I like both Goten and Trunks but dislike Gotenks?

Good, because I don't like Gotenks.

I definitely enjoy the kids more individually. But I do like how Gotenks is Genre Savvy. Gotenks vs Super Buu is one of my favourite fights in the series. It's practically self-parody.

The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!

Dragon Ball Z had the same opening sequence from Raditz to Cell.
I thought there were two animation sequences during this period. With the second one showing Vegeta and Future Trunks going Super Saiyan. Unless that sequence was created for the movies and not used in the series.

Trunks probably watches enough kids' TV to know how these fights go, so it's very likely that Gotenks is very genre savvy because of that.

I like their creative attacks, too. We need something insane like Galactic Donuts or Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack every now and then.

Yeah, they tweaked the opening the include Vegeta and Future Trunks for the Android and Cell Sagas.

I like to think that when they're teenagers to young adults, Gotenks is going to be their party trick.

I can too easily picture them at a frat party, knocking a few back and going, "Hey guys, check THIS shit out."

PIZZA TIME!

Then they miss their fingers and end up as fat Gotenks. :P

Still be a hell of a trick....

Here's hoping they don't have any one night stands while fused.

I don't even know who the dad would be.

Would 100% Human and 100% Saiyan give interesting hybrids?

...My brain is breaking trying to picture the genetics here.

The fact that fused characters can exist can be considered to be due to magic, but.

Like, a fused person wouldn't have half of the DNA of the one person and half of the DNA of the other person, because when they unfuse both people still have 100% of their DNA, and if they did only have half and half it would be more like offspring than a fusion.

...30 minutes is about the right amount of time for sex but like. What would happen after the fusion ran out? Would the sperm cells unfuse too?

And what would happen if they unfused during the act? I imagine it'd be uncomfortable for everyone involved.

I hate all of you for making me ask these questions.

Especially you Rob.

You are now picturing an adult-aged Gotenks shouting, "Gotenks is back and ready to party, bitches!" and then chugging the entire keg.

Peter David's X-Factor had a plot like this, just the other way - a guy who can split into multiple copies doesn't know if he or the copy is the father.

We're talking bout Multiple Man aka Jamie Maddrox I believe.

Didn't know he went through something like that. That guy always has wacky problems.

Gotenks is Gotenks and Gotenks has Gotenks' DNA.

His DNA is probably closer to what it'd be like if Goten and Trunks had a son together. If Gotenks impregnates a woman, then the father is Gotenks.

Gotenks is a distinct personality from both Goten and Trunks. Similar to both, yes, but distinct enough. He doesn't talk using 'We' to refer to himself and when he goes third person, he calls himself 'Gotenks'.

And Gotenks being a different person and knowing things only he knows explains why he can do everything Goten and Trunks can, but they can't do everything that Gotenks can. I'm sure that they don't know how to do Galactic Donuts, turn people into volleyballs or turn SSJ 3.

Similarly, Vegetto can combine Goku and Vegeta's moves, creating stuff like the Big Bang Kamehameha and the Final Kamehameha. And there's also the Spirit Sword.

Fusions have all of their components' moves plus moves unique to them. This leads me to believe that fusions are not just the sum of their parts.

Since I've thrown in filler, I could also throw in Gogeta from Fusion Reborn.

So how does Mystic Gohan work?

Is he constantly at his full power, or does he have to power up to his full power?

He's basically as strong as a Super Saiyan 3, but with none of the drawbacks.
