There’s nothing quite like a good fusion in Dragon Ball. The instant two characters merge their powers, personalities, and tics into one super-powered warrior—it’s anime magic. Whether it’s a dramatic battle transformation or a comedic slip-up, fusions in the world of Akira Toriyama provide some of the most memorable moments in the series. From formidable combinations to off-kilter pairings, these are the 10 most epic fusions in Dragon Ball, going from entirely absurd to completely legendary.
10. Veku (Goku + Vegeta, Failed Fusion Dance)
We start with Veku—the union that didn’t quite happen. When Goku and Vegeta botch the Fusion Dance, in place of the intimidating Gogeta, we have this bloated, farting version of their combined strength. Veku can’t fight, doesn’t even run, and is primarily around to make us all laugh. Not a threat by any means, but comic value is through the roof. Not of any use in a fight, but a favorite among fans when it comes to Dragon Ball’s silly side.
9. Gokule (Goku + Mr. Satan, Potara Fusion)
Imagine Goku’s insane strength melded with Mr. Satan’s bravado. Gokule is his real name: an occasional cameo in the games coming up in a bit. More of a jest, he doesn’t take anything seriously, but this is just too ridiculous to pass up. Here is the power of Goku (some of it) proclaims to flaunt over Hercule’s outrageous bravado. Too strong for the champ, but more of a meme than a monster after all.
8. Piccolo’s Namekian Fusions (With Nail & Kami)
Piccolo may lack explosive transformation sequences, but his fusions are among the most effective in Dragon Ball lore. He first combines with Nail in the Frieza Saga and later with Kami in the Android arc. These Namekian fusions are unique—they’re permanent and not just infuse serious power. No glow-ups and outrageous hairstyles, just pure power and wisdom transferred to an already mighty warrior.
7. Kefla (Kale + Caulifla, Potara Earrings)
When Universe 6’s two fiery Saiyans, Kale and Caulifla, merge through Potara earrings, we have Kefla—a fearless, powerhouse merge who almost beats Super Saiyan Blue Goku. Her entrance at the Tournament of Power is explosive, and her energy is through the roof. She’s not only powerful—she’s fashionable, arrogant, and embodies the new generation of Saiyan strength.
6. Gotenks (Goten + Trunks, Fusion Dance)
What happens when two Saiyan hyperactive children master the Fusion Dance? Gotenks, the fusion that is extra, period. With crazy moves such as the Super Ghost Kamikaze and his trademark arrogance, Gotenks adds flair and mayhem to the battlefield. He’s the youngest Super Saiyan 3 wielder and one of the most fun fighters in the Buu Saga.
5. Majuub (Uub + Good Buu, Fusion)
Dragon Ball GT can be polarizing, but Majuub is one of the coolest ideas. Uub, the reincarnation of Kid Buu, combines with the good half of Buu to be a cool, serious martial artist with enormous potential. Although he didn’t get as much screen time as would’ve been desired by fans, Majuub is an interesting gesture—demonstrating that fusion isn’t reserved for Saiyans.
4. Perfect Cell (Absorbed Androids 17 & 18)
Fusion doesn’t necessarily result from teamwork. Cell’s disturbing transformation into his “Perfect” form results from the absorption of Androids 17 and 18, turning him into one of the franchise’s deadliest villains. It’s an ugly, evil form of fusion, but obviously effective. Perfect Cell was cool, ruthless, and much too powerful for the Z Fighters to overcome initially.
3. Gogeta (Goku + Vegeta, Fusion Dance)
When Goku and Vegeta finally master the Fusion Dance, Gogeta is born. Introduced first in Fusion Reborn and revisited later in Dragon Ball Super: Broly, Gogeta infuses pure strength with speed and flair. He’s a fan favorite with a tough edge, and whether he’s grinning or cutting his way through fighters, you know something gigantic is on its way.
2. Vegito (Goku + Vegeta, Potara Fusion)
While Gogeta is style, Vegito is dominance incarnate. By the power of the Potara earrings, Goku and Vegeta merge into a warrior who mocks danger. Whether taunting Super Buu or fighting Fusion Zamasu, Vegito combines quick wit with brute force. His Super Saiyan Blue incarnation takes it to a whole new level, rendering him one of the most powerful fighters in the Dragon Ball universe.
1. Ultra Fusion (Tekka + Goku, Trunks, Pan, and others)
Leading the pack is the most out-of-control fusion of them all: Ultra Fusion from Dragon Ball Fusions. This isn’t a pair—it’s a five-way fusion starring Tekka and a combination of Saiyan legends like Goku, Goten, Trunks, and Pan. It’s the most exaggerated, game-exclusive fusion to date, with graphics that blend Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan Blue, and even traces of Super Saiyan 4. It’s ridiculous, imbalanced, and the ultimate fan-service fusion—and that’s precisely why it’s at number one.
No matter if it’s for humor, tactics, or spewing mind-boggling energy, fusion is one of the most iconic aspects of Dragon Ball. Whichever iteration you like, you can’t deny that in hype moments, fusion never fails.
