Gotenks is a recurring character in the Dragon Ball franchise. He is the combination of Son Goten and Trunks Brief, the two learned fusion in the attempt to defeat Majin Buu. But when Gotenks finally came alive after several failed attempts, he was much more cocky and arrogant than planned, and fought Buu before he was ready.
So the two boys went in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to train, and fought Buu again there. But to be more dramatic Gotenks pretended to be weak, before transforming, which made Piccolo paranoid and he blew the door. Buu escaped by creating a tear in the universe. So Gotenks transformed into a Super Saiyan 3, and then created his own way out. After that he fought Buu, but eventually lost due to the time limit with the fusion. He came back once Gohan had saved the day, but only to be absorbed by Buu, and never seen in the show again aside from one other time. Gotenks has also showed in many video games, and numerous movies.
Personality[]
Gotenks was created specifically to defeat Majin Buu, and Piccolo outright declares him the warrior destined to do so... but sadly, Gotenks is an immature, egotistical fool who's far more concerned with showboating and looking cool and is virtually incapable of taking things seriously even when lives are at stake, which just keeps making the situation worse; in this order, he gets himself and Piccolo trapped in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, enables Buu to escape and eat all of his loved ones, and gets himself absorbed by Buu, allowing Buu to beat Gohan senseless. Come Super, the rest of the Z-Fighters have yet to forget this and unanimously agree that Gotenks can't be trusted or relied upon for anything, especially not something as high-stakes as the Tournament of Power. In the end, Gotenks shows that his particular personality makes him very much not cut out for saving the day, and that trying to forcibly create an all-powerful savior will not always be successful.
Biography[]
When Goku returned from the afterlife with the knowledge of the Fusion Dance but no eligible partner to perform it with, Goten and Trunks were taught it, and their mothers came up with the combined name Gotenks. The result combines Goten's childishness with Trunks' brattiness to create one of the weirdest and goofiest fighters in the series, the kind who would come up with the Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack.
