Othernames: fussion kid

Birth: Planet Earth Goten: East District Trunks: Capsule Corporation , West City

Transformations: Super Saiyan 1 , Super Saiyan 2 (Gotenks Form), Super Saiyan 3 (Gotenks Form)

Origin: Goten is the second and final child of Son Goku, the series' protagonist. First introduced in the 230 chapter of the manga, Goten is similar in appearance to his father, with the same hair style as his father and similar clothing. In chapter 324, Toriyama changes his appearance to avoid confusion with Goku to include a shirt bearing his name, and a longer, shaggier hairstyle. Goten is trained by his older brother Son Gohan in preparation for the 25th World Martial Arts Tournament, which their father would be attending. During the training, Gohan discovered Goten could become a Super Saiyan.
In order to save the world from the villain Majin Buu, Goku and Piccolo teach Goten and Trunks the "Fusion" technique, which allows them to transform into a single powerful warrior, Gotenks. Gotenks battles Buu multiple times but even when he transforms into a Super Saiyan 3 he is unable to defeat Buu. Buu temporarily absorbs Gotenks, increasing his own power, but Vegeta and Goku are able to retrieve them from Buu. When Buu destroys the Earth in the 312 chapter, Goten and Trunks are killed. Goten is later brought back to life along with the rest of the Earth via the Dragon Balls in order to give energy to Goku's Super Spirit Bomb attack, which defeats Buu.Goten then returns to a normal life on Earth. In Dragon Ball GT, Goten participates in battles against other fictional supervillains such as the space parasite Baby, the artificial human Super 17 and the evil dragon, Omega Shenron.

Trunks' second incarnation would appear as an infant in chapter 337 published on August 26, 1991. At the age of eight, Trunks would participate in 25th Tenkaichi Budokai and defeat Son Goten in junior division. Eager to compete in the adult division, he along with Goten would pose as the fighter Mighty Mask and be pitted against #18 in a battle royal. But unfortunately they would be disqualified for being two people. Upon the arrival of Majin Buu in chapter 460 and episode 231, Trunks was forced to train with Goten in the "Room of Spirit and Time" to become the super warrior Gotenks. Gotenks would fight Buu first in the time dimension, then in the real world until the thirty minute fusion time limit expired. Through Buu's treachery they, along with Piccolo, would be absorbed by Buu thus increasing his power. Once freed, he along with Goten, Gohan, and Piccolo would be killed when Kid Buu destroyed the Earth. After resurrected, Trunks would help to rally the people on Earth to contribute to Goku's Super Genki Dama to defeat Buu. At the end of the manga and Dragon Ball Z Trunks, now all grown up, would participate in the 28th Tenkaichi Budokai against the fighter Otokosuki in Chapters 518-519 and episodes 289-290.
By the GT series, a 28 year old Trunks would accompany Goku and Pan into space to recover the
Black Star Dragon Balls. Within episodes 2-15, They would have many strange encounters and meet many unusual characters including the robot named Giru who would act as the gang's Dragon Radar. Upon arriving on Giru's home world the Machine Planet M2 in episode 16, the trio would be hijacked by Dr. Myu's robots and Trunks would be solidified in living metal (A reference to Han Solo's encasement carbonite in the Return of the Jedi) for study. Ironically, the contents of the plate was not really Trunks, but cleverly made decoy by both Trunks and Giru. Trunks would use the opportunity to uncover Dr. Myu's plan, which was to awaken Baby, and sabotage the process. Unfortunately Trunks' plan failed as Baby had managed to escape to Earth, When they returned home Baby had managed to possess Vegeta becoming "Baby Vegeta" and brainwash everyone else. Shortly after arriving, Trunks would also fall victim to Baby's mind control and battle Goku. He along with everyone else would be freed on new planet Plant. By episode 41 Trunks had managed to become the CEO of Capsule Corporation. But he would not take the job seriously. During the Super 17 saga, he along with Goten would travel the globe fighting the villains that escaped from Hell. He would help battle Omega Shenron and help power-up Goku's Super Saiyan 4 form.


Gotenks is the result of the Fusion Dance when performed by Son Goten and Trunks. Expanding on the negative aspects of the two characters he's comprised of, Gotenks is arrogant and easily distracted. At the start of his appearance, Gotenks is rebellious, however, he later learns to follow the advice of his mentor Piccolo. During his training, he reveals the ability to transform into a Super Saiyan 3, where he nearly defeats the villain Majin Buu. The immense chi required for Super Saiyan 3 limits the time that Gotenks can stay fused, and he is later absorbed by Buu.
