In the world ofDragon Ball, few dynamics are as complex as the relationship between Goku and Vegeta. These Saiyan warriors, while often allies, frequently find themselves at odds when it comes to the subject of fusion. Their differing approaches to pride and power create a fascinating tension, particularly when faced with the prospect of combining their strengths.
Fusion is a powerful technique in theDragon Ball. It allows two warriors to combine into one superior being. This method can be achieved through different methods like the Fusion Dance and Potara earrings. It is often used as a last resort against overwhelming foes.
Goku’s Fair Play Mentality in Dragon Ball Series
Goku‘s Saiyan pride manifests differently from Vegeta’s. For him, the thrill of battle comes from facing challenges fairly. He dislikesrelying on techniqueslike the Spirit Bomb or achieving godly powers through unconventional means. His pride centers on whether a match is fair, not just on raw power.
Thismentality extendsto fusion as well. He often sees fusion as a balanced response to overwhelming threats. He views it as a strategic option rather than a blow to his pride. In the fight against Kid Buu, he initially refused fusion because Buu was just himself, with no one absorbed. He also didn’t propose fusion against Zamasu until he became Merged Zamasu. It shows his desire for fair, one-on-one battle when possible and only considering fusion when facing similarly fused opponents.

Interestingly, he seems more open to fusion than Vegeta. He readily agreed to becomeVegitoinDragon Ball Super, while Vegeta required convincing. This openness likely stems from his pragmatic approach to protecting others.
Vegeta Confronting the Power Gap
Vegeta‘s resistance to fusion runs deeper. Each fusion forces him to confront the power gap between himself and Goku. His realization clashes with his desire to surpass Goku through his own efforts. For him, it becomes a bitterreminder of the ongoing struggle.
In the Buu Saga, he initially resisted fusion but eventually agreed to save his loved ones. After defusing Super Vegito, he immediately crushed the Potara earrings, showing his discomfort with the experience. Similarly, he was completely against the idea of fusing to fight Merged Zamasu in the Future Trunks Saga. This led to the creation of “Vegito Blue.”

The willingness to fuse in dire situations showcases their growth as warriors and protectors. However, it remains a point of contention between them. The tension between individual pride and the need for fusion will likely remain a key factor in their relationship.
