It's possible they already knew about Fusion and maybe that's why Cabba said it was up to them. Or their Kaioushin gave them the Potara.

Curious about how well their voices coordenate.

HO. LEE. SHIT.

And I'm right back to wondering what the fuck is going on with the writing of Super. So... does Goku stop, mid getting his ass kicked by Kale and Caulifla, to teach the two girls kicking his ass how to do the fusion dance?! I... what?! I... *sigh*

CALLED IT!

Well to be fair I also "called" a fusion between the bugs, between the Freeza and Frost, between the namekians....- I had to get something right.

But yup, knew Goku's was going to be teaching someone the fusion dance.

If they don't go SS3 after fusing, they'll remain fused until the end.

If anything, If Goku's teaching them fusion I think its because he wants a better sparring partner, they probably cant give him the warm up he needs to push himself to UI with them separate so he decided to teach them, well either that or he wants to doom himself :lol:

This would be hilarious and I would be all for it. The power scaling doesn't seem to work, but, then again, the power scaling of all Super doesn't really seem to work, so, I think I'm past the point of caring.

Maybe, just maybe, Cauli cant unlock SSJ3 so instead Goku teaches her another way to get stronger via fusion.

The best advice we can all take when it comes to powerlevels is... closing our brains and logic behind for cool looks and sparky stuffs, I'm tellin yah man it worked for me after the abomination that was SSJB Goku V Krillin that nearly split my head.

I'm curious how they'll handle his character in that episode - on first glance he seems to be taking the reckless, selfish route again, and it is in character

- HOWEVER -

Last episode we had Vegeta finally confirm what we've been suspecting from the very beginning - U7 plans to wish everyone back. Cabba immediately mirrors this desire. All they have to do is make Goku strike a deal with them; have Cauli and Kale promise they'll use their wish the same way too in exchange for him helping them. It would actually make sense and heighten their chances of survival.

Thus why Goku is one lovable naive SoB that majority of us adore :lol: there's no telling what his selfish ass would do to get a kick of things, I fudgin love it!

Goten and Trunks got shafted for this. Between all reasons not to enjoy Caulifla and Kale, this is the biggest for me.

I was completely fine with that. It was when I started to have to look seriously at Gohan and Piccolo's power levels that I lost all faith in DBS power scaling. Freeza obliterated anything remotely resembling reasonable scaling, which is unfortunate because, and I can't believe I'm saying it, resurrecting Freeza has been the best part of the Survival Arc, bar none.

We are going to have 3 episodes of these crap. The only good thing about these episode will be the 20 seconds scenes of Toppo vs Vegeta along with Piccolo and Gohan vs Saonel and Pilina. Hopefully 17 and 18 start a fight as well.

Frieza can't you just eliminate Kale and Caulifla now?

Hahaha, oh Super. Run away with it, you little scamps.

This is sure to blow up the internet for a bit, but remember when we learned Freeza would be replacing Buu and it looked like the shark jumping moment? How wrong we were.

Will this fusion be able to use Kale's Berserk form? That would actually make her pretty formidable. Potentially able to challenge Jiren even.

I am more or less adapting to this now, it's pretty clear these two are here to stay whether we like it or not..
Besides, a friend of mine was pretty confident the namekians are going to be the super warrior, I am more interested in hearing what he thinks of this now :wink:

Question: seeing as how most don't want the U6 saiyans just going through transformations so easily, wouldn't you all rather have a fusion instead of Kale and Cauli clearing power levels like crazy?

If no one could get rid of them separately then chances are they'll be here till the end.

I guess the only way to make a worse character is to have the worst fuse together.

Like I said before, the only good to come from them is making what people didn't like about the buu arc look like gold.

We didn't want her getting ssj3 but now she's fusing and that fusion will most likely get ssj3.

Oh, they're gonna lean heavily into the shipping aspect with this aren't they. I can see it now:

Caulifla: Hey Kale, wanna fuse with me?
Kale: Fuse, onee-san?
Caulifla: Yeah, like we become one, body mind and soul for a bit, and get really really strong.
Kale: *'Stronger than You' from Steven Universe starts playing in her head* Sure.
