'''Vegito''' (ベジット ''Bejitto''), also known as '''Vegerot''' in the Viz English manga, originally formed to defeat Majin Buu after he had absorbed Gohan, and later reappearing to fight Fusion Zamasu. While all fusions have immense power, Vegito's power is abnormal even by Potara standards, as Vegeta and Goku's intense rivalry has brought out an exceptional power. Like his Fusion Dance counterpart, Gogeta, Vegito is regarded as one of the most powerful characters in the original ''Dragon Ball'' manga.


==Concept and creation==
In Vegito's debut, he was referred to as '''Gogeta''' (ゴジータ ''Gojīta'').

==Appearance==
Vegito is a mixture of both Goku and Vegeta's characteristics, with a few deviations. He has the same body type as Goku, while his hair color is dark brown to reddish brown. He has Goku's softer jawline and Vegeta's sharper eyes. Vegito's upper hair style stands firmly upwards like Vegeta, while having Goku's hairline and has two bangs sticking out like a downward "V" shape. When he transforms into a Super Saiyan or Super Saiyan Blue, his hair shape stays the same. Vegito wears two yellow Potara earrings as result of the Potara fusion, and wears Goku's style of clothing with the colors reversed, reflecting Vegeta's outfit; he wears a blue gi and sash with an orange undershirt. Also from Vegeta, he wears white gloves and boots.

In ''Super Dragon Ball Heroes'', Vegito wears a black gi with an orange shirt on his inside and a blue obi tied over it at his waist. He also wears Vegeta's white gloves and boots from ''Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’''.

==Personality==
Vegito's personality is a mixture of both Goku and Vegeta's characteristics. He exhibits Vegeta's cockiness and inclination for taunting others, and enjoys toying with enemies, but is not as serious, having inherited Goku's easygoing, cheerful nature. He possesses both Vegeta's strategic mind and tactical skills along with Goku's ingenuity and creativity, making him that much more efficient. Despite appearing cocky, he in fact retains Goku's benevolence and empathy. Being a whole new entity, he refers to his counterparts as separate people as they would address each other. During his fight with Super Buu, Vegito also showed signs of having a sense of humor, such as after Buu transformed Vegito into candy, Vegito claimed he wasn't no ordinary candy, but a jawbreaker and the "strongest candy there is".

However, he still retains the memories of each individual and can clearly distinguish between the two. This was shown when he stated he was wondering what would happen if "they" (Goku and Vegeta) merged, though he also referred to himself as "us" when talking about "sharing a body". In the original dub, he maintains Goku's respectful nature, referring to Old Kai as ''Dai Kaiōshin-sama''.

In ''Dragon Ball Super'', when Vegito returns at the near end of the "Future" Trunks Saga, his personality is mostly the same except he is far more serious than last time due to his opponent not needing to worry about any loved ones' safety and now knowing about his fusion's time limit. He is still somewhat cocky, tending to mock his opponent for things like sloppy fighting and ignorance of the situation.

— Vegito's debut line

The Potara Earring Fusion used to form Vegito is what Old Kai considers to be the proper way to do fusion, as opposed to the Fusion Dance technique. The resulting fusion lasts forever for Supreme Kais. However, the fusion only lasts one hour for mortals, even if the fused being removes the earrings. The determination of power levels is complex and more unpredictable than that of the Fusion Dance but in Vegito's case, the rise in power is inconceivably drastic. Vegito has the confidence and fighting smarts of Goku, along with the superior attitude and genius strategic mind of Vegeta.

Vegito is a fusion formed out of desperation by Goku and Vegeta in an effort to stop Super Buu, an ancient and powerful being whose only purpose is to destroy. Because Buu had absorbed Gotenks and Piccolo, Goku and Shin had come to a conclusion that the best chance they had of defeating Super Buu was through fusion, but there was no time to attempt the Fusion Technique. As a solution to this problem, the Potara Earrings were given to Goku to save the universe from Super Buu. Goku then proceeds to Earth just in time, before Super Buu launches his Destroy Everything! energy ball to destroy it. Goku threw the earring to Gohan so they could fuse, but Gohan failed to catch it. Super Buu then lost a large amount of power (over one third by Goku's observation) as Gotenks separated inside Buu. He then proceeds to absorb Gohan, becoming even deadlier and stronger than when he was ever before. Goku is now left with no one to fuse with that would be of any help (with the latter being Mr. Satan and Dende because Tien Shinhan was knocked out), but miraculously he senses Vegeta's energy, and uses Instant Transmission to quickly transport himself to Vegeta's location since Vegeta has just returned from the Other World with Fortuneteller Baba. Super Buu shortly follows and, after Goku tries to convince him, Vegeta fuses with Goku.

In the anime, Vegeta initially ignores Goku's plea by losing his pride to fuse with him and they both send ki blasts towards Super Buu. Super Buu easily reflects their attacks with his own ki blast. Super Buu then taunts them and Vegeta attacks Super Buu but both Saiyans were effortlessly beaten. After some quick persuasion, Vegeta finally agrees (after being told what fate had befallen his family). Then, Goku tells him right before they fuse that the fusion would be permanent and their bodies will be fused forever. Vegeta shouts at him, telling Goku that he should have told him that in the first place. The earrings merge them together and thus Vegito is born.

Once Vegito is formed, he tests out his new body. He then proves himself more than a match for Super Buu as he easily withstands an assault that would have almost killed the others separately. Vegito then overpowers Super Buu (with Gohan absorbed) in the ensuing battle, clearly showing that, even in his base form, the fused Saiyan is much more powerful than the mass-absorbed Super Buu.

In the anime, after proving his superiority to Super Buu, Vegito then decides to turn things up a notch, by increasing his power by transforming into a Super Saiyan, and calling himself "Super Vegito". Super Buu is impressed, but not convinced that Vegito is stronger than him. In the manga, however, he turns Super Saiyan immediately upon fusion.

Vegito then begins to completely dominate Super Buu, rendering his attacks useless. Super Buu then liquefies himself and goes into Vegito's body through his mouth. Once Super Buu is inside, he makes Vegito's muscles bulge tremendously and tries to take control of his body. Vegito then uses his energy to isolate Super Buu inside his body and beats him out. Super Buu becomes enraged because Vegito is making fun of him. His anger at this causes him to start breaking through dimensions, which, if left unchecked, could destroy the universe. Eventually, Vegito forces his way through Super Buu's shield and punches him in the face, which stops his attack.

With little left to lose, Super Buu turns Super Vegito into a coffee flavored jawbreaker. All seems lost until Candy-Vegito reveals that he is able to fly around and still attack physically, beating Super Buu in comical fashion and slicing off his antenna.

Super Buu turns Vegito back to normal when realizing that there is no way to hurt Vegito because of his small size (despite the fact he could not hit him before anyway). After another beating, even Super Buu's regeneration is starting to fail him, and Vegito continues to dominate the fight, severing the antenna from Buu's head. Vegito then decides that it is time to end the battle once and for all, giving Super Buu ten seconds to prepare for death, and tells him to do whatever he feels like in that time period.

Unbeknownst to Buu, Vegito could have effortlessly destroyed him at any given moment, but had toyed around with him in order to manipulate Buu into absorbing him, which would allow Vegito to free his friends and family trapped in Buu's body. By purposely ignoring the antenna he cut off of Buu, Vegito deliberately gives the Majin the opportunity to absorb him. Super Buu quickly realizes the option, unaware Vegito had provided it on purpose, and when the fusion counts to ten, Super Buu manipulates the severed antenna and engulfs Vegito with it, who activated his barrier at the last moment to prevent himself from being integrated.

The seemingly-victorious Super Buu then goes on a rampage, and Vegito is left within him to free everyone. When he drops his barrier, however, the magic of the earrings wears off, and Vegito splits into Goku and Vegeta again. Both Saiyans are confused, Goku suggesting that the fusion wore off because of Super Buu's unusual "atmosphere". Irritated at having to combine with Kakarot for greater power rather than fighting and winning on his own, Vegeta crushes his Potara earring so they would not have to fuse again. Eventually feeling the same way, Goku follows suit.

When facing Kid Buu, Goku and Vegeta are given the option to become Vegito again, but Goku refuses, claiming that as a Saiyan, his pride keeps him from doing it, preferring to fight alone, and also citing that the fusion is permanent, and crushes the earring. Vegeta is impressed by this, saying it was "Spoken like a true Saiyan", and then crushes his earring as well, much to the chagrin of Shin and Old Kai.

During the intense battle with Fused Zamasu, Goku uses all his power in his God Kamehameha to stop the Holy Wrath. Afterwards, Zamasu is damaged and the left side of his face begins to mutate, a prelude to his corrupted state. Goku again attacks Zamasu but Zamasu grievously injures him and he falls down after exhausting the rest of his energy with the use of his Super Saiyan Blue Kaio-ken technique. They realize Goku's actions only made Fused Zamasu become enraged and go out of control. Fused Zamasu aggressively powers up, and his right arm begins to mutate in a similar fashion as his face. Gowasu points out Fused Zamasu's potential weakness: while Future Zamasu's body is immortal, Goku Black's body is not, and there is no synergy between Fused Zamasu's soul and body. This can cause his mortal and immortal halves to conflict, creating openings, but Gowasu states that they will need large amounts of power to even deal any damage, prompting Goku to suggest fusing with Vegeta using Potara, though Vegeta is completely against the idea. Goku asks Gowasu how come he and Vegeta split before when he was told the effects of Potara are permanent, and Gowasu explains that fusion not involving a Supreme Kai will remain for one hour. Vegeta reluctantly accepts the Potara earring after realizing they have no other options and he and Goku each eat a Senzu Bean. Vegeta and Goku, with one hour left to finish things, put on the earrings, bringing about the second emergence of Vegito.

In the anime, after introducing himself briefly to Zamasu, Vegito transforms into Super Saiyan Blue, dubbing himself "'''Vegito Blue'''". Fused Zamasu fires a Holy Wrath at Vegito, who easily dissipates it, much to the corrupt God's shock. Vegito punches Fused Zamasu as he begins to once again lecture about gods and mortals, and Vegito challenges Fused Zamasu to squash him. The two then proceed to fight an intense battle, creating havoc and destruction in the surrounding area. The two fight to a stalemate, but Vegito is caught by a surprise punch and sent crashing to the ground. As Fused Zamasu prepares to finish him off with his God Split Cut, Vegito stabs him with his Spirit Stab technique. Vegito points out to Fused Zamasu that he is no longer immortal as he is permanently fused with a mortal, a mortal named "Son Goku". Fused Zamasu explains that that's what he wanted; in his eyes, Goku is everything wrong with both mortals and gods and by making Goku's body a part of his own, he will never forget the sins of mortals and the mistakes of gods. He then crushes Vegito's Spirit Sword and begins to power up even further, bulking up and growing larger in size.

As Vegito continues to pummel around Fused Zamasu, he tries to finish him off with a Final Kamehameha. Fused Zamasu emerges from the attack, and Vegito teleports directly to him to hit him with a god aura-cloaked punch, but as he does so, he immediately defuses back to Goku and Vegeta. Shin notes that it hasn't been an hour yet, and Gowasu explains since Vegito used all of his power into the Final Kamehameha, there was not enough left to sustain the fusion. Fused Zamasu takes the opportunity to knock Goku and Vegeta down together with the same punch from his powered-up mutated arm, sending the two Saiyans crashing to the ground beaten. Fused Zamasu is later thwarted by Future Trunks, who destroys his physical body, and Future Zeno, who erases his engulfing will.

In the manga, Vegito transforms into a Super Saiyan Blue (or "'''Blue Vegerot'''"), proclaiming that he is not a true god and is simply a mortal like him due to never officially having become a Supreme Kai - also boasting that Fused Zamasu's fusion will wear off in an hour too. Fused Zamasu angrily curses Gowasu for never telling him about the time limit of fusion. The two begin to fight but Vegito easily decimates Fused Zamasu, at one point slicing Fused Zamasu's hands off so fast that he does not notice. Fused Zamasu materializes many cubes of Katchin and throws them at Vegito, while at the same time Vegito prepares his Final Kamehameha in order to finish off Fused Zamasu, however before he can fire the fusion unexpectedly wears off and Fused Zamasu's Katchin hits Goku and Vegeta, knocking them to the ground.


==Trivia==

*The name Vegito (ベジット ''Bejitto'') is derived from a portmanteau of the Japanese kana spellings of the names Vegeta (ベジータ ''Bejīta'') and Kakarot (カカロット ''Kakarotto''). The most common romanization of the character's name in Japan is Vegetto, a portmanteau of Vegeta and Kakarotto. Because the spelling Kakarot is used in Viz's English manga instead of Kakarotto, the name became Vegerot. The spelling Vegito is used in the English dub of the anime by Funimation, using the last two letters of "Kakarot" reversed, but inconsistent because of the presence of the "i". In the English dub of ''Dragon Ball Z Kai'', however, the spelling that is used is "Vegetto".
*Old Kai states that a hypothetical Potara fusion of Goku and Gohan would not need to turn Super Saiyan to defeat Super Buu. In the manga, Vegito transforms into a Super Saiyan as soon as he appears. In the anime, he fights Buu for some time before he finally transforms. In his base form, Vegito still outclasses Super Buu and even manages to deflect a planet-shattering bomb, thus making it clear (in the anime) that he could have beaten Buu without even transforming into a Super Saiyan.
*While the Japanese and Funimation dubs have Vegito talk with Vegeta and Goku's respective voices overlapping each other simultaneously, in the Ocean dub and the German dub, Vegito speaks with only one voice, sounding as medium pitch between Goku and Vegeta.
*The fusion using the Potara Earrings was supposed to be permanent. Yet, when Vegito is inside Buu, Goku and Vegeta separate. Goku credits this to being a result of all the foul masses in the magical atmosphere of Buu's body. Shin also confirms that the Namekian Dragon Balls can in fact undo the fusion as well if need be.
**It is revealed in ''Dragon Ball Super'' that fusions not involving a Supreme Kai will remain for an hour, explaining Goku and Vegeta's sudden fission in Buu's body.
*In the Funimation dub of ''Dragon Ball Z'', Vegito's theme is "Vegeta vs. Goku" (composed by Bruce Faulconer).
**Additionally, Vegito's theme song ("Gleaming Potara") in ''Dragon Ball GT: Final Bout'' sounds more evil than Gogeta's theme ("The Strongest Challenger!!") in ''Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Battle 22'' which sounds heroic. Both themes were composed by Kenji Yamamoto.
*In the early Funimation dub, Candy Vegito's voice was high pitched; this was changed to make him sound like his normal self in the remastered series.
*In the Future Trunks Saga of ''Dragon Ball Super'', Vegito is still wearing the same outfit he wore during his debut in the Fusion Saga despite Vegeta wearing a different outfit since the last time they fused.
*Despite the Potara earring fusion lasting only an hour, Vegito's fusion was significantly cut short in his battle against Fused Zamasu due to his immense power similar to Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta in his battle against Omega Shenron. Both are similar in that they were about to deal the final blow to the villain before defusing.
*In ''Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors'' and ''Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit'' Goku's CPU's outfit resembles Vegito's outfit.
*In ''Dragon Ball Super'', Fused Zamasu addresses Vegito as Son Goku. At the same time, Vegito refers to Goku in third person when talking to Fused Zamasu.
