Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn

Dragon Ball Z Fusion Reborn follows a catastrophe born from a careless mishap in a demon world cleaning process. A reckless young demon slips past safeguards and lets a cleansing device overflow, twisting him into the formidable Janemba, a monstrous being with strange humor and brutal power. Goku and Vegeta take on the threat separately, only to discover that their usual tactics barely scratch the surface of this foe. With the city under siege and hopes fading, the warriors confront the limits of their solo strength. The danger escalates quickly, and the only way to meet it head on is for the two heroes to merge into a single fighter and cast off hesitation.

Directed by Shigeyasu Yamauchi the film draws on Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball Z universe with a script by Takao Koyama. It arrived in 1995 as part of the franchise's theatrical run and extended the saga's fusion mythos, with Toriyama taking part in character concepts and design notes.

Box office data for Fusion Reborn varies by region and is not consolidated in a single reliable source. The film performed solidly among anime audiences in Japan and overseas, but exact worldwide totals are difficult to pin down from records across territories.

Fusion Reborn is remembered for bringing Gogeta to the screen as a fully formed cinematic fusion and for its bold fight choreography. The movie helped cement fusion as a dramatic turning point in the series and sparked ongoing fan interest, cosplay, and memes around the blue skinned merged hero in popular culture.

Critics and fans praised the film for its kinetic energy and vivid animation while noting the brisk pacing helps balance humor with action. Thematically it explores power and responsibility, and the idea that even the strongest allies must cooperate to overcome threats that outpace individual skill.
