The word "Fusion" comes from the word "Fuse", which means to join or to connect together. In Dragon Ball, it means exactly that, to let two fighters to join together into a single, more powerful and a more dominate fighter.
In this section, we will discuss the different fusion methods, by using successful fusion characters such as gotenks and Gogeta as examples to explain to you how fusion works and the impact it created on the fused characters.
Fusion Methods
Potara Fusion A powerful and permanent fusion created by using Kaioshin's earrings. Each of the two fighters wears one earring at the opposite ears then a fusion will be formed. This fusion is stronger than any other fusion as it cannot be separated unless for an unexpected accident/case. Hence, this newly fused character is likely to stay fused for the rest of his life. This method is also the best because it guarantees the most optimal result for the newly fused character. The costume is the combination of the two fighters costume. Unlike the fusion dance method, the two fighters that fused using the earrings do not have to be similar, because they would both have a potara earring and their bodies would be attracted together like magnets. Fusion Dance This technique is taught to Goku by Metamora in the afterlife. The two fighters have to perform a complicated dance while saying the word "FUSION". All the moves in this dance have to exactly right or it will have a effect of turning into FatGogeta, Trunkten, Fat Gotenks, Skinny Gotenks. It takes a lot of practice to get the dance right and it is not easy either. The fusion can only last 30 minutes. Then after it wears off they will have to wait an hour. The time limit will be shorter if they turn Super Sayian 3, since it takes a lot of energy when the fusion is formed. The costume the fused characters is traditionally from Planet Vegeta. To fused the characters must be similar and they are usually cocky. Namekian Fusion It is also known as Yuugou Fusion. This fusion can only be used between the Namekians. The two Namekians will combine their energy and power into one and the power of the new fusion will dramatically go up. The Namek who is absorbing the other Namek must place his hand on the Nameks chest.( it will look like the the Namek that put his hand on his chest)
