	~~TBD~~		Facing increasing threats, the [[Kaiōshin]] of Time calls in [[Son Gohan: Xeno]] to assist [[Trunks]], who is excited to work alongside (a version of) his mentor once more. A gigantic [[Slug]], powered by the dark Dragon Balls, attacks them both. Gohan whistles and performs a little dance to paralyze Slug, leaving Trunks open to get the Dragon Ball. [[Janenboo]] and [[Towa]] appear, followed by [[Chamel]]. With all of the trouble here, Towa figures it would be difficult to retrieve the Dragon Balls and resurrect her brother [[Dabra]], so she powers Slug up further to attack the heroes and focus on Janenboo. In the face of such a powerful foe, Gohan suggests to Trunks that they fuse; their heights and builds are similar, and [[Son Goku]] had taught Trunks about fusion during their training, so it should work well. The two align their ''ki'', perform the dance, and fuse into Gohanks. The new warrior knows that they only have 30 minutes of fusion time and need to finish the fight quickly. Following a barrage of ''ki'' attacks, Gohanks uses the [[Explosive Fire Cutter]] against Slug, but it is no use against such a powerfully-huge opponent.<ref>{{Cite magazine\|Mag=SJ\|Year=2017\|Month=November\|Date=06 October 2017\|Title="Super Dragon Ball Heroes: Dark Demon Realm Mission!

Though fusion characters typically speak with a dual-voice role, in ''Dragon Ball Fusions'' "EX Gohanks" is solely played by [[Masako Nozawa]]; due to the large number of possible fusion combinations, it is likely that a single voice is assigned.
