GOTENKS
GO
The absolute embodiment of hyperactive kid energy fused with world-breaking power. When Goten and Trunks successfully performed the Fusion Dance, we got an unbelievably arrogant, loudmouthed powerhouse who treated fighting a world-ending threat like a playground game. Yelling out ridiculous move names like "Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack" and "Galactic Donut," Gotenks made the terrifying Buu saga feel like a wild Saturday morning fever dream.

Open page →Two children perform a dance badly enough to create fat and skinny failure states, eventually get it right, then the successful fusion learns Super Saiyan 3.
Power scaling has left the building.
VIBES:
We put SSJ3 Gotenks a little above SSJ3 Goku because the story needs him to be an absurd temporary solution who can actually pressure Super Buu.
The exact number is fake.
The ghost kamikaze volleyball energy is real.

COMBAT LEDGER //
Open page →Gotenks (SSJ3) vs. Super Buu
Open →Majin Buu Saga · Hyperbolic Time Chamber & Dimensional Void · Result: Interrupted (Fusion Timer Expires)
When Super Buu threatens to trap them in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber forever, Buu literally screams a hole through dimensions out of sheer hunger (the Vice Shout). Gotenks responds by unlocking SSJ3, screaming his own dimensional hole open to chase him back to the Lookout, and turning Super Buu into a literal human volleyball alongside Piccolo - until the fusion timer expires.
The Breakdown
Unhinged, cartoonish absurdity backed by world-breaking scale. It blends 90s slapstick humor with raw cosmic scale better than any fight in the franchise.
Ultimate Gohan vs. Super Buu
Open →Majin Buu Saga · Wastelands of Earth · Result: Decisive Dominance (Until Buu absorbs Gotenks)
"So, hotshot... you want to fight me?" Fresh off Old Kai's potential unlock ritual, Gohan steps onto Earth with zero blonde hair, zero visual transformation cues, and a cold, effortless swagger. He casually dodge-rolls around Super Buu's best attacks, breaks his ribs with basic counter-punches, and mocks the strongest creature in the universe like an amateur - until Buu absorbs Gotenks to survive.
The Breakdown
Pure, unadulterated disrespect. It is the absolute peak of Gohan's individual power, forcing a desperate Buu to resort to absorption tactics because he cannot win a straight fight.
TECHNIQUE DEBUT DIRECTORY //
Open page →
Super Saiyan 3 Transformation
Open →Super Saiya-jin San · Maximum Ki Unlocking · Son Goku, Gotenks
The absolute limit of single-entity Super Saiyan evolution. Unlocks 100% of latent biological potential, growing knee-length golden hair and erasing eyebrows while emitting intense bio-electricity. Yields god-tier strength, but drains bodily stamina so rapidly it cannot be sustained for long periods in a living body.
Debut: Ep 245 - An Astounding, Great Transformation!! Super Saiyan 3
Metamoran Fusion Dance
Open →Fusion · Biometric Entity Synthesis · Gotenks (Goten & Trunks)
A 30-minute fusion technique learned from the Metamorans. Two fighters of identical power levels must execute a perfectly synchronized 3-step dance ending in fingertip contact while shouting "Fusion... HA!". Yields a brand-new entity with exponential power; minor stance flaws result in emaciated or obese failures.
Debut: Ep 247 - Absurdly Awful Looking?! The Special Training Transformation Pose
Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack
Open →Supa Gosuto Kamikaze Attaku · Volatile Ectoplasmic Clones · Gotenks
A bizarre, highly volatile fusion technique. Gotenks spits out translucent, sentience-bearing ghost figures that share his personality. Each ghost acts as a kinetic landmine - touching any physical surface or target triggers an immediate, massive explosion.
Debut: Ep 258 - I'm Going Like I Mean It!! A Wide-Open Super Gotenks
TECHNIQUE ENCYCLOPEDIA //
Open page →Gotenks' unhinged variant of the classic ki rapid-fire volley. Rather than controlled single shots, Gotenks fires dozens of explosive ki rounds per second, obscuring the battlefield in smoke and cratering the target area.
A dimensional-breaking shockwave produced purely by vocal power. When trapped inside an enclosed space (like the Hyperbolic Time Chamber), extreme rage or exertion allows the user to scream so loud it fractures space-time, tearing an open wormhole back to the mortal plane.
Fusion absurdity with teeth. The user spits translucent, sentient ghost figures - each with its own personality - that act as kinetic landmines. Touch a surface or a target and they detonate. Bizarre. Effective. Peak Gotenks.
