Gotenks

Gotenks is a character in the fandom and a member of the Herotoons. His codename is **The Fusion Kid Warrior**.

## ORIGIN

**Gotenks** (ゴテンクス) is the immensely powerful result of Trunks and Goten successfully using the Fusion Dance, and the first successful fusion dance character to be seen in the *Dragon Ball* series. He was created as a way to combat against the very powerful Majin Buu as well as being another one of Goku's successor as protector of Earth.

## PERSONALITY

Gotenks' personality is unique even though he shares personality traits of his creators, Goten and Trunks. Gotenks is known to be cocky, arrogant and mischievous like Trunks (traits inherited from his father Vegeta), yet he acts playful and whines like Goten. Gotenks is a cocky and conceited fighter who believes his power is enough to take on anyone, even when he is about to lose a fight; this is likely due to his massive power increase during fusion, creating a warrior much like the counterpart of his fusees' fathers. Gotenks loves to be over dramatic, and shows this by calling his attacks loudly and giving ridiculous names to somewhat stylized versions of otherwise normal punches and kicks.

## POWERS AND ABILITIES

Gotenks' childish personality causes him to create many attacks, some of which are nothing special, while some deal hefty damage. Most of his attacks are only used once. He tends to give very basic moves complicated names. His habit of giving names to all his attacks (and subsequently only using them once), could possibly come from Vegeta, who has a similar, yet much less ridiculous, habit (Vegeta's most-associated attacks, such as the Galick Gun, Final Flash, or the Big Bang Attack, are each only used once in the manga). This habit is less apparent in the anime, as Gotenks and Vegeta tend to use those attacks more than once.

### *Ki*-based techniquesEdit

* **Flight** – Gotenks has the ability to fly with the use of *ki*.
* **Ki Blast** – The most basic form of energy wave.

Gotenks fires his Continuous Die Die Missile

* **Jury's Verdict** – A triple fireball technique used in the *Butōden* series.
	+ **Continuous Die Die Missile** – A rapid fire of compact *ki* blasts. Gotenks performs this attack by firing dozens of continuous *ki* blasts more powerful than the normal ones. Also used in the *Butōden* series.
	+ **Super Saiyan 3 Meteo Missile** – Gotenks' meteor attack in *Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Battle 22*, where he transforms into a Super Saiyan 3 and uses physical attacks on his opponent before firing the Continuous Die Die Missile at him.
* **Kamehameha** – Gotenks was about to use it in the manga/anime when he charged up a final attack to finish off Super Buu shortly before returning to his base state as a result of fighting for too long, exhausting his depleting energy supply. The Kamehameha is used by Gotenks in the *Butōden* series, the *Budokai* series, *Dragon Ball Z: Taiketsu*, and *Dragon Ball Heroes*. His Kamehameha technique is called **Clean Slate** in *Ultimate Battle 22*.
* **Double Buster** – A Full Power Energy Wave technique obtained from Trunks. Used in the *Budokai* series when it is Trunks who initiates the fusion, as well as in the *Budokai Tenkaichi* series and the *Raging Blast* series.
* **Splitting Headache** – An attack that cuts the opponent in half. Gotenks fires a beam over his head which turns into a blade that drops down on the opponent's head, slicing them down the middle, before firing the Finish Flash to destroy the two halves.
	+ **Finish Flash** – A double energy wave used against Super Buu to finish the Splitting Headache technique.
* **Final Cannon** – Gotenks' High Speed Rush technique. He charges a yellow aura and unleashes a barrage of punches, proceeds to kick the opponent into the air, and then knock them away. He got this technique from Trunks. Named in the *Budokai* series, and also used in the *Budokai Tenkaichi* series.
* **God Breaker** - A yellow Energy Wave originally used by Trunks. Used in *Battle of Z*.
* **I'll Make Short Work of You!** – A rush attack that is finished off with a blue energy sphere. Used against Majin Buu.
* **Magnum Finger** – A powerful finger beam attack which is Gotenks super attack in the video game *Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z*.
	+ **Big Tree Cannon** – Obtained from Trunks, this attack is similar to Vegeta's Final Flash, though not as formidable for the user's power. Used in the *Budokai Tenkaichi* series, and in *Battle of Z* (where it is named **Ultra Finger Missile**).

Gotenks with the Buu Buu Volleyball

* **Galactic Donut** – A powerful gripping technique Gotenks performed. Gotenks uses this controllable halo to wrap around Super Buu, constricting him within the halo. Super Buu, however, escapes by overpowering the ring, leaving it to disperse into small balls.
	+ **Charging Ultra Buu Buu Volleyball** – A situational attack used by Gotenks when he once succeeded in capturing Super Buu (who had shaped himself into a ball) in several Galactic Donuts. The attack consists of capturing a target in many Cosmic Halos, trapping them inside a sort of cocoon and use the ball like a volleyball. Gotenks forced Piccolo to play with the ball, and then Gotenks followed up with an attack he called **Spiking Buu Ball Slam** (which was essentially one final hit to the ball), before Super Buu broke out. This left a huge crater beneath Kami's Lookout (that Buu had destroyed), and it was made even more massive when Buu fired a large beam from its bottom and Gotenks retaliated with his Die Die Missile attack.
* **Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack** – Gotenks' signature move. Gotenks expels Kamikaze Ghosts from his mouth for an attack. These ghosts are touch sensitive and explode when they touch anything, including each other (shown when the ghosts grab each other's hands).
	+ **Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack 4** – A version of the Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack which uses four ghosts. Named in the video game *Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors*.
	+ **Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack 10 Ghost Finish** – A version of the Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack which uses 10 ghosts. Used against Super Buu.
	+ **Balloon Flash Bomber** – An attack which breaks down into 14 ghosts.
	+ **Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack 100 Ghost Finish** – A more powerful version of the Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack which utilizes 100 ghosts. Used to defeat the living dead on Earth in *Fusion Reborn* and named in *Daizenshuu 6*.
