It would also prompt a lot of Mandy's Law fanfics.
- TRUNKS: Well, that was an interesting fusion WHY AM I STILL A GIRL?
- FEMALE GOTEN: Oops! Some of my gender must of have rubbed off on you!
- GOKU: That's not how that works!
I like to imagine Vegeta hovering slightly in order to maintain the same center of gravity as Goku. And it infuriating him to no end.
I assumed Piccolo and Goku couldn't fuse because they were different races. But their power differential might also be key. However, Goku was in base. Is he really that much more powerful?
No, actually, the opposite is true. Piccolo is substantially more powerful than Base Goku, having a Battle Power roughly equivalent to Androids 17 and 18, who were each much more powerful than Super Saiyan Vegeta circa the Android Saga. Goku, meanwhile, never surpassed Frieza in Base by the end of the series, which means he isn't even close to the much higher battle powers of Piccolo and the Androids.
Once Goku transformed into a Super Saiyan, the power differential would flip the other way, but in Base, Piccolo is the one that would be too powerful if they were attempting a genuine fusion.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.No, Ultimate Gohan is.
Discounting Super Saiyans, Ultimate Gohan, and the villains, I believe the "strongest" title would go to Piccolo, Android 18, and Android 17, with the Androids taking the edge due to their limitless stamina, unless I'm forgetting someone.
EDIT: Oh! Android 16 is stronger too, but he's perma-dead, so I don't know if he counts.
So, there's a lot stronger than Piccolo, but he's still massively powerful. Compared to the other upper-tier fighters, Goku and Vegeta aren't actually that exceptionally strong; they just have REALLY good multipliers.

Can we call female Goten "Gotina"?
