Goku Is Eyeing a New Fusion, And This Viral Dragon Ball Short Brings It to Life: Watch
As the story of Dragon Ball has progressed, the main character, Goku, has combined his powers with several allies to save the universe, sometimes literally. The Fusion technique, while not as prevalent as many fans would like, is still one of the most useful abilities in the protagonist’s arsenal.
With the release of Daima and the introduction of the Join Bugs, the newest type of fusion seen in the show, fans have been wondering with whom else Goku could fuse into a new warrior. These questions have led to the creation of a stunning animation, one that depicts what a merge between Kakarot and Shin would look like.

The Short Video Shows the Amazing Strength of This New Warrior
On November 30, 2024, an independent animation team known as @LateShiftStudi0 uploaded a video to celebrate the release of the Dragon Ball Daima anime series. The animation sees Goku sharing a pair of Join Bugs with Shin, a member of the Demon Realm’s race of Glind and the Supreme Kai of Universe 7. After eating the insects, the two characters merge, giving life to a new divine fighter ready to fight the Tamagami, the protectors of the Dragon Balls.
Moments after this fused warrior is born, Tamagami 3 throws its hammer, an attack that would have been devastating for any ordinary inhabitant of the Demon Realm. Goku and Shin’s fusion, being far stronger than most other characters in the series, can destroy the hammer with a single finger. The animation for this epic scene is fluid and professional, making it engaging and appealing to the viewer. It is by far one of the best fan-made projects surrounding the Dragon Ball franchise in recent years.
Goku and Shin’s Fusion Looks Ready To Fight Anyone
The Design Created for the Video Hints at This Warrior’s True Power
One of the most interesting details about LateShitStudi0’s video is their unique design for the merger between Goku and Shin. The character looks exactly like how fans might have imagined this new fusion between Kakarot and his iconic ally. The warrior demonstrates the same fighting spirit that Goku has, with a Gi that would allow him to fight without limitations. Yet, Shin’s elegance and restraint are shown, with the fusion waiting patiently to attack and his clothes looking dignified like a god’s attire should.
However, the design and the actions of this nameless fusion have caused fans to question how powerful this fighter would be in the series canon. The Dragon Ball franchise has already proved how mighty a fusion between mortality and a deity can be, as was the case with Zamasu’s final form, who was one of the franchise’s strongest villains. As such, their assumption that Goku and Shin merged would be able to easily defeat the Tamagami might not be out of the question.
Overall, the work done by LateShiftStudi0 is an impressive display of what the Dragon Ball fanbase can accomplish with its talents. It is an incredible piece of fanart that will impress all fans who decide to give it a chance.
