Gohanks is a fusion of Son Gohan and Trunks in the Dragon Ball franchise. A fusion character of this name was initially designed by a then-fifteen-year-old Kentaro Yabuki (who would later rise to prominence as the author of manga series such as Black Cat and To Love-Ru) as a Weekly Shōnen Jump contest submission in 1995. Gohanks was later re-imagined by Bandai Namco for the Dragon Ball Fusions and Dragon Ball Heroes video games in 2016, both in a younger "EX" form and an older "Future" form.

Biography

Gohanks introduction for Dragon Ball Fusions and Dragon Ball Heroes in the July 2016 issue of V-Jump

The "EX" version of Gohanks the result of fusion of the younger Son Gohan and younger present-day Trunks using Bulma's Metamo-Ring. Perhaps due to Gohan's influence, this super cool young fighter may be more mature than Gotenks.[1] The "Future" version Gohanks is the result of the Metamoran fusion dance with the alternate, older versions of Son Gohan and Trunks, master and student from a desperate future. He sports a scar carved into his left eye courtesy of Gohan.[2]

Name

Gohanks' name is a clear combination of Son Gohan (孫悟, Gohan) and Trunks (トランクスン, Torankusu), in line with other similar combinations of character names for fusions.

Production

Kentaro Yabuki's "Gohanks" contest submission from the 1995 No. 13 issue of Weekly Shōnen Jump

Yabuki recounted his contest submission experience in the supplemental "Dragon Ball Children" pamphlet that accompanied Dragon Ball's seventh kanzenban in June 2003:[3][4]

Speaking of which, my debut in Jump wasn't with my own manga, but with Dragon Ball. Around the end of my third year in junior high, there was a "Fusion Contest" promotion in Jump, where you had to create an original character by making any two characters from Dragon Ball do Fusion. I fused together my favorite characters at the time, teenage Gohan and teenage Trunks, to create a character called "Gohanks"; I drew an illustration and sent it in. Then, I got an award called the "Cool Prize" (heh), and it ran, relatively large, in the color pages of Jump. That experience really moved me.

A completely new re-imagining of Gohanks by Bandai Namco was revealed as a forthcoming playable character in Dragon Ball Fusions and Dragon Ball Heroes in the July 2016 issue of Shueisha's V-Jump magazine.[2]
