THE FUSION DANCE AND THE POTARA EARRINGS

Towards the end of Dragon Ball Z, Earth got in it deep when nearly everyone was killed fighting Majin Buu. In an effort to save Earth, Goku introduced the remaining fighters to the Fusion technique. There are two versions of this technique.

1.FUSION DANCE:

This is the primary form of fusing. Taught to Goku in Other World by the Metamorese, two fighters of the similar age, height, race and power level must perform a series of complicated dance maneuvers. If performed successfully, they will merge into one incredible fighter, though the fusion will only last for 30 minutes. The following are successful fusions using the Fusion Dance:
Goten and Trunks = Gotenks
Goku and Vegeta = Gogeta

Of course, this doesn't always work. Should the dance be done incorrectly, the fusion will fail and result in a fighter who is either extremely fat or very old and feeble. Either way, the end result is a very weak fighter. The following are failed fusions using the Fusion Dance:

Goten and Trunks = Fat Gotenks
Goten and Trunks = Old Man Gotenks
Goku and Vegeta = Fat Gogeta


2.POTARA EARRINGS FUSION:

While in Other World, the Old Kai gave his life so Goku may help defeat Super Buu. Goku realizes he needs to fuse with Gohan to defeat Buu, but won't have time to teach him the Fusion Dance. Fortunatly, the Old Kai gives him hope: the Potara Earrings. By wearing the Potara Earrings, one simply has to wear one earring and look at another person wearing the other earring to fuse together. The good thing is that this is a quick fusion, and will result in a fighter waaay stronger than one created by the Fusion Technique. The catch? This fusion is permanent. There are only three known successful fusions with the Potara Earrings:

Goku and Vegeta = Vegetto

(NOTE: Despite the Potara Earrings permanent fusion side effect, Goku and Vegeta were able to seperate while inside Super Buu because of the difference in physics inside Buu)

Supreme Kai and Kibito = Kibito Kai
Old Kai and a Witch = Old Kai


(NOTE: This is how Old Kai gained his power enhancement techniques.)
