Fusion Guide

Namekian Fusion: This fusion is exclusively for Namek's. First, one Namek places his hand on the other, then ki is concentrated and the fusion begins to take place. The Namek's have the ability to choose which of the two bodies they want to use. The resulting warrior is much stronger than either warrior alone. If by chance the two warriors fusing were once one being and parted for whatever reasons, the Fusion becomes twice as powerful.

Fusion Dance: The 2 warriors must be equally strong and close in size. Then in order for the fusion to work, the 2 must perform a dance. Any mistake in the dance will end up in a deformed fusion. While performing the dance, the two must yell Fu..sion..ha. If done properly, the 2 will become much stronger than eithe one alone. However, it only lasts 30 minutes, but at SSJ3 they can only stay fused for 5 minutes. The fused fighter's have combined features, but are a completely different person.

Absorption: Not really a kind of fusion but it does take multiple beings and make them become one. Cell and Buu are the main people to absorb beings and they did so by either eating the other being or in Cell's case sucked them through his tail. If you want to know more about absorption and Cell/Buu go check out the Transformations section or if you want to know more about the types of transformations click here.

Since the show started, the creator of Dragonball, Akira Toriyama, really got a taste for transformations of characters. That way, you could never tell if the bad or the good guys had another trick up their sleeves. In this section you will see a picture along with info on just about all of the transformations ever seen. On this page is only a summary of the types of transformations featured in the series.

Henshin:
This type of transformation is very commonly used in manga and anime. A character builds up ki and changes his or her form. Henshin basically means 'changing forms'. Each consecutive form is more powerful than the one before. The first transformation we see is the one from Zarbon, one of Frieza's henchmen. He changes from a handsom guy into a frog-faced monster. Others who used this type of transformation are Cooler, Frieza and Garlic jr. (although the last one also uses the Makyo Star to power up).

(Super) Saiyan Transformations:
These transformations get their own section. A Saiyan warrior is always capable of one transformation: Oozaru. In order for this transfomation to work, the Saiyan has to have a tail, and has to stare at the moon. The rays the moon produces causes the Saiyan to transform into a giant ape called 'Oozaru'. We first see this transformation when Goku is imprisoned by Emperor Pilaf, and tells his friends that a giant ape came out on a full moon and killed his grandfather Gohan. Goku than looks at the moon and transforms. Luckily Puar is able to shape-shift into a pair of scissors and cut off his tail, making him turn into a little boy again. Later we learn the tail can grow back. I'm not going to tell more about the other Saiyan transformations here. You'll have to read about those in their own section. To see that section go here.

Absorbtion:
Powering up and changing form with the use of ki (and/or the Makyo Star) is one thing, absorbing other beings to gain strength is a whole other ballgame. In Dragonball two creatures use this type of transformation. The first one we get to know as Cell. This creature is an android, #21, designed by Red Ribbon Army's evil genious Dr. Gero. He designed this allmost totally biological android with the help of DNA he gathered from all the strongest warriors on Earth. It has the strength of a Super Saiyan, the regenerative powers of a Namek etc.. When it hatched it only missed one thing: the strength of the Androids #17 and #18. Cell absorbed both androids, one at a time, changing two times and reaching perfect form. At a certain moment, #17 was removed from his being, which made him revert to an earlier form.

The second character to use absorbtion, and the undefeated champion of absorbtion, was Buu. Buu is a creature that was created by the evil magician Bibidi, over 5 milion years ago. He was so very evil and powerful that he was able to defeat the Higher Gods of the Universe, the KaioShin, and he absorbed several of them. After absorbing the Dai KaioShin (the most important KaioShin), his evil was weakenend because of the good of the Dai KaioShin. It also made him take the form of this rather chubby God. In his weakened state Bibidi was able to imprison Buu, after which Bibidi was destroyed by the East KaioShin, better known as Shin. Bibidi's son Babidi succeeds in freeing Buu, and Buu starts absorbing. First he splits up into an evil and a good Buu, and the Evil Buu absorbs the Good one, making him change into Super Buu. Super Buu than absorbes Piccolo, Gotenks and Gohan, each time changing form.

Here you can find the ages for the main characters throughout the Dragonball, Z, GT series. Ages are divided up by series, then saga, then character. Because of the training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, some characters aged several years more than everyone else in certain sagas. Some characters, also didn't age at all because they were dead. The reason characters like Baba and Roshi were able to live to long was because they drank from something called "The Fountain of Youth", which prevented them from anykind of natural death. Puar (a Cat) and Oolong (a Pig) are able to live very old, but it is unknown how, Turtle on the other hand, could have done the samething as Roshi or just naturally been able to live that long. Note: Namekians only need 2-3 years to grow up/mature.
