 Fusion With this technique two warriors may fuse together into a new being in order to increase their power. In order to do this, their physique and their strenght must be pretty much the same and they must perfectly perform a strange dance, Metamoru dance; if they make a mistake, the result is a very weak warrior! The fusion generates a new very powerful warrior, but only for 30 minutes. The one of Gogeta Super Saiyan IV in DBGT lasts only 10 minutes, since it requires a huge amount of energy. Son Goku and Vegeta Goten and Trunks

Fusion with Potara This fusion happens thanks to Potara, Kaioh's magic earrings. It's not like the Metamoru fusion because in this case the fusion takes place when a person wears an earring on his left ear and the other person wears the other earring on his right ear. This fusion should last forever, but for Vegeth it doesn't and it stops as he enters the magic space, that doesn't follow the physical's rules of Dragon Ball World, inside Majin Buu's body.

Then he throws the sphere at his enemy who, if he has an "evil" Ki, is obliterated. It takes a very long time to charge up the Genkidama till it becomes big enough to eliminate the enemy to face (Vegeta, Freeza, Majin Buu, Super Ishinlon).

 Mafuuba (Demon Incarcerator) Secret technique invented by Mutaito-sen'nin (Kame-sen'nin and Tsuru-sen'nin Master) to defeat Piccolo Daimao. He manages to use a magic wind to propel the demon into a denshi jar, trapping him. But, who performs Mafuuba, dies right after, because of the too much energy taken out. So the denshi jar is thrown into the depths of the ocean by Kame-sen'nin (who is one of the two pupils standing over Mutaito-sennin's body when he faces Piccolo Daimao)... but someone (Pilaf) finds it and let the demon come back to life. Later, also Kami-sama will use mafuuba against Piccolo, but this one rejects it (Counter Demon Incarcerator), by turning it to Kami himself trapping him into a small bottle (the denshi jar had been inadvertently broken by Tenshinhan).

About Majin Vegeta... someone thinks that, because he has reached a stage where good and evil are balanced within him, Babidi cannot take full control over him; but someone says that's because of his huge pride!!! Bibidi Babidi
