Who controls the mind after fusion in DBZ?


In _Dragon Ball Z_ , after fusion, who controls the mind and the body? Is it
both or a single person?




There are _several_ types of fusion. For the majority of these, the more
dominant/stronger individual controls the mind and body.

For Piccolo and Nail, they did the _Namekian Fusion_ , Piccolo was the more
dominant. There was also Cell and the Androids. Cell fused with them by a type
of fusion called [_Absorption_](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Absorption).
There was also the permanent fusion of Supreme Kai and his servant Kibito by
using _The Potara Earrings_. Supreme Kai's personality was the one that stood
out after that. For Dragon Ball Super we also see Kale and Caulifla fuse into
Kefla who actually only seems to inherit Caulifla's personality.

In the normal fusion, the one you are more than likely asking about, the one
that comes after initiating the [_Fusion
Dance_](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Fusion_Dance). A new being is created
from both individuals. [This being
will..](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Fusion)

> combine both their attributes, from strength and speed to reflexes,
> intelligence and wisdom. When properly fused, the single being created has
> an astounding level of power, far beyond what either fusees would have had
> individually.

So, none of the fusees control the mind after the normal fusion. The being
created after is a combination of both of their individual attributes and as
such can think for itself.
