Dragon Ball Fusions: Why Goku Shouldn't Count on Fusion Techniques Alone

As a long-time fan of the Dragon Ball series, it's hard not to wonder why fusion techniques continue to play such a prominent role in recent installments. With each new iteration promising more epic battles and intense power-ups, one might expect these game-changing moves would finally provide the excitement fans have been craving.

However, thanks largely due to Dragon Ball Super, we may be seeing a shift away from relying too heavily on fusion techniques as Goku's go-to strategy for victory. Specifically speaking, Vegeta has recently opened up about why he personally abhorrs using such methods so much himself – and it might surprise you!

According to an interview with IGN earlier this year (2023), when asked directly what made him feel uncomfortable utilizing the Ultra Instinct form during his epic battle against Beerus in Dragon Ball Super, Vegeta candidly admitted: 'To be honest? It feels like I've lost myself entirely. Like all my strength has just been taken away from me.'

This admission comes as no surprise given how often we see Goku resorting to fusion techniques throughout the series whenever things get tough or he's looking for an edge over his opponents. Whether it's teaming up with Piccolo during their initial encounter against Cooler in Dragon Ball Z, merging with Vegeta himself via the Android 17-18 Ultra Instinct form later on down the line – you name a notable fusion from across Dragon Balls' vast history & chances are our iconic hero has tried using them at some point or another!

So what does this mean for fans of the franchise moving forward? Will Goku finally learn to rely more heavily on his own natural abilities rather than relying solely upon these convenient cop-outs every time things start heating up in battle?

Only time will tell, but one thing's certain – with Dragon Ball Fusions set to release later this year (2023), now might be the perfect opportunity for series creator Akira Toriyama and Bandai Namco Studios alike to shake things up a bit!
