Gogeta

"Oh~"

"You're talking about the Metamoran fusion technique. I know that one."

Goku certainly knew the move; he had learned it from a Metamoran while in Heaven. That person had claimed it was incredibly powerful, though at the time, Goku had no one to perform it with.

"Soga, Vegeta, let's use this technique. We can definitely defeat Majin Buu."

Goku turned his head, looking at Vegeta with excitement.

"What kind of technique is that?"

Vegeta retorted.

Goku landed on the ground and demonstrated the fusion steps for Vegeta, saying, "You have to keep both people's ki at the exact same level, then do this, and that, and the fusion will be a success."

"Are you kidding me!!!!"

"You want me to perform such a shameful dance??"

"Don't even think about it!!"

Vegeta turned red with rage and roared at Goku.

Goku tried to persuade Vegeta in a low voice, "What's so shameful about it?"

"How come I don't feel that way?"

Vegeta turned away, crossed his arms, and snorted coldly, "I am not fusing with you, no matter what."

Goku continued to persuade him, "The power of fusion is truly immense, and don't you want to see the power of Gogito?"

"Maybe the power of a successful fusion will be enough to defeat Gogito!!"

Vegeta stiffened; he was clearly tempted.

Inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Vegeta had already witnessed the terrifying, extreme power of Gogito. To Gogito, the Majin Buu before them was nothing more than a trifle.

"Is the power of fusion really that great?"

Vegeta was still a bit skeptical and asked again.

"I guarantee it, it's definitely more powerful than you can imagine."

Goku promised with absolute certainty.

"I'm telling you now, this is the only time."

Vegeta emphasized repeatedly that this was the only time.

Next, the ritual began. Goku and Vegeta started the fusion, standing in a straight line, raising their hands to their chests, leaning to the side, taking crab-like steps, and tracing a semicircle in the air with their hands.

"Fu~sion!"

"Wait a second."

Just as they were about to finish, Gogito spoke up to stop them.

"You messed up. Your fingers are crooked. Do it again."

"Damn it, this is all your fault, Kakarot! Now I have to do that shameful dance all over again."

"Huh?? It's not just my fault, Vegeta!"

Goku complained with dissatisfaction.

The two of them started over again.

"Fu~sion!"

The moment their fingers touched, a dazzling light erupted from them. Everyone else was forced to close their eyes, but only Gogito could see clearly as their bodies slowly merged into one, becoming a new person.

Once the light faded, the others opened their eyes and looked at the site of the fusion.

Gogito also sized up the Gogeta standing before him.

In the anime, Gogeta appeared three times. The first was in the movie against Janemba. At that time, Gogeta was ruthless and concise, finishing off the enemy cleanly and swiftly without a single change in expression throughout the fight.

The second time was in GT, against Omega Shenron. The personality of Gogeta was different from the time in Hell; he was mischievous, playful, and loved to toy with Omega Shenron, earning him the nickname "The King of Trolling" among fans.

The third time was also in a movie, this time against Broly. His personality was similar to the one in Hell, but with subtle differences. While this Gogeta was still cold-faced, there was a hint of softness in his brow, and his fighting style differed from the previous two.

Gogito guessed that Gogeta's personality was determined by the psychological state of Goku and Vegeta before the fusion.

During the first fusion, both men were already dead, so their mindset was naturally different from when they were alive. Furthermore, they had been driven to their wits' end by Janemba. Born in a desperate situation under the overwhelming power of Janemba, the Goku and Vegeta of that moment carried heavy hearts, burdened with the responsibility of protecting both the afterlife and the living world. With no path of retreat, the resulting Gogeta was calm and composed. After a brief introduction, he remained silent and unflappable, finishing off Janemba with thunderous, decisive force.

The faint smile he flashed at the end was so effortless that it made one wonder: where exactly does the limit of Gogeta lie?

His second appearance was in the Shadow Dragon arc of Dragon Ball GT. By this time, Goku had been turned into a child by the Black Star Dragon Balls. Perhaps because of the Dragon Balls, Goku's personality had changed, resembling an old rascal. Even when he transformed into a Super Saiyan 4 and temporarily became an adult, he couldn't fully negate the influence of the Dragon Balls.

As for Vegeta, it was his first time transforming into a Super Saiyan 4. How could Vegeta, having transformed for the first time, not be curious about the power of this new form? One must remember that during the Cell saga, after Vegeta emerged from the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, he couldn't wait to test his power against Cell, striking that classic pose—the "Super Vegeta" pose.

Under such a state of mind, the Gogeta formed by their fusion possessed a personality entirely different from the one in Hell. Influenced by Vegeta, this Gogeta wanted to test the extent of his own power, so he took Omega Shenron's "Prince Tactics" head-on. Then, influenced by Goku, he created clones to toy with Omega Shenron. At the same time, driven by their shared sense of responsibility, Gogeta unleashed his ultimate technique, the Big Bang Kamehameha, intending to finish off Omega Shenron. However, due to insufficient energy, he failed to defeat the enemy, ultimately earning himself the reputation of a "showboater."

Gogeta's third appearance was in the Dragon Ball Super: Broly movie. The circumstances this time were somewhat similar to the incident in Hell, yet they remained distinct.

This fusion occurred after the Tournament of Power. By this time, Goku had experienced Ultra Instinct, his movements were free and unrestrained, and his mindset was carefree. Vegeta had joyfully welcomed his precious daughter and seen his relationship with Bulma deepen, carrying the iron-willed tenderness of a man protecting his wife and child. Simultaneously, the two had been brutally beaten by Broly in his berserk form, witnessing his terrifying power and physique. The resulting Gogeta, much like the one in Hell, was taciturn, yet there was a touch of softness between his brows. His fighting style, while still built upon the thunderous, heavy-hitting foundation of the Hell Gogeta and GT Gogeta, possessed an added sense of unbridled ease, using minimal force to deflect great weight and embodying the aesthetics of combat to the fullest.

"How should I put it? This feeling isn't half bad!"

Gogeta clenched his fists, sensing the immense energy surging within him. He looked up, a confident and charming smile gracing his face.

Gogeta slowly flew into the sky, hovering level with Buu. Buu offered a slight smile as well.

"Even more powerful than I anticipated. However, you still don't surpass me."

Hearing this, the corners of Gogeta's mouth curled upward.

"How would you know unless we try?"

Gogeta's entire body erupted with a golden aura as he transformed into a Super Saiyan.

"This is Super Gogeta!!!"
