"Is This Gonna Work?! The Potara Fusion!" is the five hundred and second chapter of the Dragon Ball manga series by Akira Toriyama. It was first published in Japan in the 1995 #07 issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump.
Summary
Goku suddenly stops and asks if they should be Super Saiyan before fusing. Elder Kaiōshin says there is no point, they can do it afterwards. Besides, the stress would be too much for their body and shorten their lifespan. You can only use the Potara once in your life, though. Goku asks if him if he has ever used them. He explains that an ugly old witch once took one of his to try to be a pretty gal, and this is why he is able to do these mysterious things. Kaiōshin interrupts them, saying there is no time for talking. Goku agrees, and quickly teleports away.
Boo prepares to launch his attack, while Gohan, Tenshinhan, and Dende all watch on in shock. Satan on the other hand closes his eyes and fires his gun, apologizing to Majin Boo. Goku suddenly appears behind Boo, and throws a Kienzan, cutting Boo in half and slicing off the end of his forelock. Gohan wonders how his father was able to come back to the living world. Satan opens his eyes, and thinks he has cut Boo's body all up with that shot. Boo's upper body recognizes Goku as the guy with all the weird transformations. Boo says it is no use if he has come to help. Goku grins and very confidently tells Boo he is wrong, because he has an incredible power-up item this time. Boo's lower body, which landed on the ground behind Tenshinhan, stands back up and kicks Tenshinhan hard, knocking him out. Boo's lower and upper body reunite, and Boo smugly comments that while that guy seemed like quite an expert, he was still just a small fry that was taken out with a mere kick. The rest of them are all small fries too. Goku asks why he would bother restoring himself if that was really the case.
Boo thinks Goku must really want to die. Goku yells over to Gohan and tosses the other Potara at him, but Gohan was not paying attention and misses it. The earring falls in between some nearby rocks and Goku tells him to hurry and find it, then put it on his right ear so they can fuse and defeat Boo. However, Boo thinks that would still be useless, but he will not allow them to fuse anyway. First he will kill Goku, but Goku begs him to wait as Gohan searches through the rocks. Boo rushes at Goku, and so he becomes Super Saiyan 3 and prepares to fight. Boo then suddenly stops in mid-air, just as Gohan finds the Potara. Boo begins transforming again, until he starts to resemble Piccolo. Goku laughs, thinking it is because Piccolo is now the strongest one inside Boo, since the youngsters have defused. Goku powers down, disappointed that now Gohan alone can defeat Boo like this.
Boo smirks and says he had an insurance plan, just in case. Goku wonders what he means, and Boo points to his forelock that he did not bother to restore. The severed piece down on the ground then turns into a blob and suddenly envelops Gohan. The Potara drops to the ground, and Goku flies over and grabs it as Boo begins to transform again. The Kaiōshin think it is all over now, as Boo is now wearing Gohan's dōgi. Goku frantically starts looking around. "I was gonna fuse with Gohan... There ain't no way around it!! Who else could I fuse with... Tenshinhan's down... Dende ain't a fighter... Mi-Mister Satan...?!"
