| Heaven-Sent Innocence: Gotenks 
If we talk
about Goten, then Gotenks, his fused form with his best
friend Trunks, can never be far behind. Who could forget
the cocky demi-saiyajin who has numerous yet useless
attacks? Who could not recognize the cocky demi-saiyajin
with part-black, part-lavender hair? Yup, that's Gotenks
alright!
The Fusion Dance. Soon after Goku
declared to his family and friends that Gohan and Vegeta
were killed by Majin Buu, he took it upon himself to
teach Goten and Trunks the Fusion Dance. Easy as it may
look, the Fusion Dance is a fairly complicated technique,
considering that the two warriors must not only keep
their power levels at the same level, they have to move
and perform their actions accurately at the same time. To
add to Goku's frustration, the kids were too shocked by
their loved ones' death to do decent training. When it
was Piccolo's turn to continue their training, the kids
were too stubborn to train, for both of them thought that
the dance was really ugly.
Fusion Failures. In Episode 236, Goten and Trunks
fused for the first time. But one of them committed a
mistake, and their fusion resulted in a fat Gotenks. At
their second fusion attempt, a mistake was once again
made, and the result was an old Gotenks. However, the
next attempt was perfect. Just not their super saiyajin
form... yet.
Perfect Fusion. At their third
fusion attempt, Goten and Trunks finally fused into
Gotenks, the Gotenks many fans adore and love. However,
if there's anything wrong with Gotenks, it's his ego.
Gotenks is very cocky and conceited, a trait that
originally belongs to Trunks. While Trunks dominates
Gotenks' personality, Goten takes care of the
appearance... most of it.
Super Saiyajin Transformations. Goku's not the only saiyajin who
managed to reach Super Saiyajin 3 during the Majin Buu
Saga. Guess who else did? Gotenks! Yes, our two chibis
fused as one actually reached the third super saiyajin
transformation! Not bad, eh?
Gotenks' Moves. Gotenks is one of the warriors
who has the most number of moves, however, most of his
moves are stupid and useless. However, there are a couple
of useful ones as well. We're going to give you a quick
rundown of his moves and attacks... excluding the super
saiyajin transformations.
Balloon
Flash Bomb
An attack by SSJ3 Gotenks, which is, once
again... pretty useless.
Big
Thunder Punch
And again, another one of Gotenks' useless
punches.
Brain
Crush Hammer
Another useless move... but has a funny name.
That's what Gotenks is famous for. Cocky attitude,
useless moves and funny attack names.
Dynamite
Kick
Gotenks kicks the opponent, and then an
explosion occurs during that kick.
Final
Shooting Score
Did I mention that this is --- again --- a
useless move?
Finish
Flash
And another useless move...
Galactic
Donut
It is a successive attack of ki-rings, which
look like donuts. The rings can be used to surround
the enemy and trap him by holding his limbs.
Great
Fighting Top
Gotenks put his arms in the air, one leg out,
and one leg straight. Imagine the classic ballet
pose. That's it. And then, he spins around and around
and around, like a top.
Great
Kick Special
A kick, given a nicer-sounding name. Just to
make things sound... more exciting.
Great
Revolving Kick
One of Gotenks' useless... yet funny... attacks.
Metal
Machine Gun Punch
Another punch... and another useless move.
Miracle
Super Punch
A punch. That's it. A punch.
Power
Tackle
Another useless move... and has no effect on
Evil Buu. Sorry, Gotenks.
Renzoku
Shine
This is Gotenks version of the Renzoku Energy
Dan, popularized by Vegeta (Remember what he did to
Cell when Mirai Trunks was killed? That's the Renzoku
Energy Dan.) Renzoku Shine is the same attack, just
more power. Imagine Gotenks firing a machine gun.
That's it, it's just that, he's using ki.
Rolling
Thunder Punch
Gotenks spins his arm around and around, sort of
like a helicopter blade. And then he punches.
Super
Ghost Kamikaze Attack
One of the most famous attacks Gotenks ever
made! First, he spits out a white blob which then
forms into a ghost. Afterwards, Gotenks sends the
ghost to the opponent. If touched --- even in the
slightest way --- the ghost will explode.
Super
Ghost Kamikaze Attack Times Ten
The same as the one mentioned earlier, but
Gotenks creates ten ghosts at a time. So far, the
largest number of ghost Gotenks has created was 100.
Ultra
Buu Buu Volleyball
This move started out as a joke by Gotenks.
First, he wrapped Buu with ki-rings, thanks to his
Galactic Donut attack. Then he plays volleyball with
Piccolo, with Buu as the ball. Finally, Gotenks
spikes the ball to earth. Go Cuba. Go Russia. Go
Brazil.
Ultra
Missile Punch
Another one of Gotenks' punches, just given a
nicer-sounding name.
Wild
Boar Attack
Gotenks charges his enemy like a wild boar. To
add to that, he puts his fingers on his face to
represent the horns. *sighs* Gotenks... Well who can
blame them? They're kids!
After Buu. Unfortunately, Goten and Trunks
never fused again, after their legendary battle with
Majin Buu --- and the bathing incident. Many fans
complain about this development. After all, who would not
want to see Teen Gotenks? He'll definitely be along the
line of the renowned Dragonball Hunks! But no, they
weren't able to fuse ever again. Sad, but true.
