In _Dragon Ball Super_ episode 88, around 20:15 mark, Gohan said something to
Piccolo about the idea to become more powerful.

In one subtitle, I've read Gohan asked Piccolo to do some attack or technique
together. But in other translation, Gohan asked Piccolo to do a combined
technique or a **_fusion_** together.

It's also raising speculation among fans too ([YouTube video about Gohan's
fusion with Piccolo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TvIKITZevA))

Which one is true?

japanese-language dragon-ball-super
Did Gohan ask Piccolo to do fusion?


Gohan said

> あっ、だったら、合体技とか、コンビネーションとか、作りませんか？

which can be translated to

> Oh, then why don't we create a [double-
> team](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/double-team) maneuvers or a
> combination?
>
> (From unknown English fansub)

In general, 合体技 ( _gattai waza_ ) means "combination technique by two or more
people". **Fusion** is one of them, and is probably the source of confusion
since in Japanese, ○○と合体する ( _○○ to gattai suru_ ) means "to fuse with
someone" (example: [Gotenks](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Gotenks)).
However, it doesn't mean specifically "fusion". Other examples are [Purple
Comet Crush](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Purple_Comet_Attack) and [Purple
Comet Hurricane](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Purple_Comet_Hurricane) by
Burter and Jeice.

Combination attack, according to
[Wikia](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_techniques), means "
_techniques which combine the different basic-types to continuously attack an
opponent to leave no room for counterattacks_ ". Example is [Kibito
Kai](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Kibito_Kai)'s [Crazy
Combination](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Crazy_Combination).
