Due to his true father, Gohan can be considered Namekian and can merge with the other Namekians to multiply his considerable powers and then reactivate his Ultimate/Mystic form to maximize it and win and become relevant again hooray

New Super Dragon Ball Heroes is out.

Worth the watch if only to see edgy OC do not steal get the poo poo beaten out of him. Also much better animation this time around, since Yamamuro apparently wasn't involved.

Link is on Terez27's Twitter or Youtube account. I'm not sure if I can link to it directly so I won't.

I mean it'll be more fleshy gum ball mecha like this was AoT, but yeah. And this is how part of Uub's power and instincts in battle are unlocked enough for Goku to remember him again so he can train both Broly and Uub.

They really need to have a serious enemy who's in a giant robot. I suppose size difference fight scenes are tricky but still.

...comedy option: the final trump card is the return of The Amazing Fighting Candy.

It's Heroes "animation" so this is almost certainly the case. They take all the shortcuts they can get.

I remember that as kid. Not a ton of details other then that the theme song was based on the Cancan theme, and the main villain was a Cat Girl.

Probably because Fusion is funky magic with either method, odd things are going to happen if two guys suddenly merge into a single one

Also, when you reach a certain level of strength, you can just brute force poo poo with ki. No need to train for efficiency, or learn the correct movements, or try to puzzle out the right feel. Just pump enough ki into whatever you're trying to do, and eventually the universe will just give up and let you do it.

I was thinking something along those lines. There's basically no explanation for the Super Kamikaze Ghost Attack other than being goddamn hilarious, and Gogeta somehow manages to come up with a holy weapon despite being probably more morally ambiguous than Goku. (Being willing to kill Broly and all, and I wouldn't be surprised if he can't use the Spirit Bomb)

Might also be a theme with the mentality; borrowing rather recursively some themes from Steven Universe, a fusion is a new person and a new experience, who has the memories and knowledge of both of their components but a personality and outlook all of their own. It makes sense that as they're eagerly discovering what their new power level is and what they can do, especially with the martial artist mindset of pushing your limits, that they're going to try new things to exercise their combined knowledge base, and since they're generally aware that they're only going to exist in the world for a very short time and quite possibly never again, they're willing to try drat near anything that crosses their minds because when else are they going to get the chance?

Also makes sense thematically given every time a fusion shows up it's a Big Deal, and they want to make it as flashy as possible, including coming up with fancy new moves unique to them to distinguish their scenes and the way they fight. Of course, might also be that Gotenks was the first fusion we saw (not counting Namekians) and set the trend.
