Gorillin

Gorillin^[1] (ゴリリン, Goririn) is the EX-Fusion of Kid Goku and Krillin introduced in Dragon Ball Fusions.

Appearance[]

Gorillin's facial features appear akin to Krillin's, with spiky hair not too reminiscent of Goku's. He wears a black, red, and orange gi with a different design than Goku and Krillin's Turtle School gi, although the Turtle School symbol is still on the back of Gorillin's gi. Gorillin wears silver and black armbands, and the signature Metamo-Ring that all EX-Fusions wear to keep themselves alive. He wears gold and white boots, and has a tail due to one of the fusees being Kid Goku.

Personality[]

Like Goku, he has a pure heart thus is capable of riding a Flying Nimbus and is immune to damage from the Devilmite Beam.

Power[]

Due to being the fusion of two students of Master Roshi, Gorillin knows many moves learned from him. Due to their strong affinity, Gorillin's power is increased by Goku and Krillin's friendship. Like all EX-Fusions, Gorillin can remain fused as long as he wishes and can defuse at will by removing his Metamo-Ring.

Forms and Transformations[]

Great Ape[]

As he is Saiyan-Earthling hybrid with a Tail, Gorillin has the potential to transform into a Great Ape if exposed to a source of Blutz Waves such as the Moon or Blutz Wave Generator. However like all EX-Fusions in Dragon Ball Fusions, Gorillin never actually transforms into one and it is unclear if Gorillin's Metamo-Ring (which maintains his fusion) could even withstand the transformation process.

Trivia[]

• Long before Dragon Ball Fusions, a fusion dance of adult Goku and Krillin was shown, Bandai may have taken an inspiration for this fusion in making Gorillin.
• Gorillin's ability to acquire the Dragon Fist technique is a bit odd, due to his fusee, Kid Goku, never inventing it until he was an adult. It could possibly be a reference to Kid Goku's Penetrate! attack, although another skill in the game, Beast Roar, appears nearly identical to Penetrate! with an image of a Great Ape appearing behind its user's final strike. Even more intriguing is the fact that Kid Goku cannot learn the Beast Roar skill.
  • However Beast Roar differs from Goku's Penetrate! as it begins with a kick, punch, and knee strike while Kid Goku's begins with a one-handed Reverse Kamehameha.
  • Kid Goku's ability to use the Dragon Fist may be a reference to his GT counterpart who utilizes the technique in Dragon Ball GT, most notably against Super 17 (to avenge Krillin's death at the hands of Android 17 who was hypnotized by Hell Fighter 17).
    • Additionally in the story of Dragon Ball Fusions, Kid Goku receives training from his adult counterpart from Dragon Ball Super along with the rest of Tekka's Team.
    • Additionally the way Special Moves are learned in Dragon Ball Fusions hints at the possibility of Kid Goku learning it via Mimicry as defeating enemy NPCs that possess the Dragon Fist (or its variants) allows it to be obtained after the battle.
