Question. If Goten had been a girl, what would that mean for Gotenks?

The first Transvestite Z Warrior.

So yes, very awkward.

I think you mean hermaphrodite? Transvestite would be one of them cross-dressing (unless the dictionary I found is horribly off-base, in which case I apologize), whereas a fusion dance would likely combine their physical sexes into one body.

Not that it'd matter, since Gotenks is a fighter, not a lover. Also, they're children.

Well, A: a pink shirt isn't really female clothing (shirts are unisex), and B: Vegeta didn't exacty choose to wear the Bad Man shirt.

By that logic, Goku is closer to that distinction, what with the disguise he wore the first time he met Oolong. Though, that was out of necessity rather than out of wanting to cross-dress. So not really that, either.

My bad.

I meant Hermaphrodite.

So here's a funny thought that just hit me via a secondary source:

Bulma is finally gonna get her chance to see Frieza.

Yeah, was just making a joke at Vegeta's expense.

Anyway, I kinda figure a fusion dance between two people of the opposite sex would just have one take priority over the other in terms of gender.

Yeah, I just felt a need to bring up Goku's disguise.

Anyway, I kinda figure a fusion dance between two people of the opposite sex would just have one take priority over the other in terms of gender.

And how would that be determined?

I just think it makes sense for it to be either both or neither, what with he way the fusion dance is so adamant about things being matched perfectly in order to work.

Also, it just raises the slightly more awkward idea that when they're older, Gotenks would play with his own boobs more likely than not.

No, he couldn't. Toriyama cared about making Dragonball popular, and kid!Goku was extremely popular (which is why GT turned him back into a kid). Goten was a means to make the series even more popular, so yeah.

Well, popularity wasn't really my concern here. I was more interested in how such a change would affect the narrative - I can't see it hurting. But on that note, how would making Goten a girl hurt Dragon Ball's popularity.

As for Gotenks...didn't Steven Universe do a male-female fusion in one episode?

Stevonnie, I think was the name.

I really need to watch Steven Universe. I've been seeing snippets via blog posts, and they make it look really damn good.

On the whole male female fusion, Digital Devil Saga 2 did it and also had a standard hermaphrodite in it.

Gotenks being both genders would make him/her okay with both, but also make Trunks and Fem!Goten individually feel icky about the situation afterwards, is my guess.

I imagine they'd probably get more used to it after all the fusion training they would later do in order to prepare for Super Buu.

They are also kids and probably wouldn't care that much or just go the Ranma route, not care but exploit one or the other whenever possible.
