Garunks (ランクス Garunkusu) is the resulting fusion between Garia and Future Trunks, when they perform the Fusion Dance properly. His voice is a dual voice that contains both Garia's and Future Trunks' voices.
Appearance[]
Garunks wears similar clothes as the usual Metamorans and other fused beings, a yellow and black vest, with a dark red shirt beneath it. He also wears black pants and red gloves. His hair is a combination of Garia's black hair covering most of his head, with two lilac bangs and eyebrows that come from Future Trunks. Garunks also retains Future Trunks' sword.
Personality[]
Garunks' personality is a mixture of both Garia and Future Trunks' characteristics: He's well-mannered and polite towards both allies and foes alike, while also being incredibly humble and kind-hearted. He possesses both Garia's strategic and analytical mind along with Future Trunks' lack of Saiyan pride and use of methods unbecoming of a traditional Saiyan warrior, making him incredibly effecient in battle.
Being a fusion created between two Saiyans, Garunks inherits an undying and unsatisfying love for battle, becoming excited at the simple thought of a good battle, and often remains rather impatient whenever his opponents attempt to stall him to avoid fighting. Garunks also retains the memories of both of his fusees, and can clearly distinguish between the two, and refers to themselves as separate counterparts.
A trait which Garunks developed on his own, without having inherited from neither Garia nor Future Trunks, is his wise-cracking and humorous nature, willing to make jokes and perform quips on his opponents even on the most critical and deadliest of situations, seen as during Garunks and Vegito's battle against Fused Zamasu.
Biography[]
"Future" Trunks Saga[]
After Garia and Future Trunks found themselves battling against Fused Zamasu, they deemed their individual powers not enough to battle the immortal being, and decided to perform the Fusion Dance to even the odds, and Garunks was created as a result.
Introducing himself to Fused Zamasu in a humorous manner, Garunks proclaimed himself the one who would destroy him and end his reign of terror before ascending into a Super Saiyan and battling alongside Vegito Blue against Fused Zamasu. Fused Zamasu fires a Holy Wrath onto both fused beings, but Garunks and Vegito effortlessly block the attack with one hand each, and redirect it towards the sky. As Fused Zamasu sermons the two for copying the gods, they both land a punch on each side of the fused deity's face, and mock his monologue before Fused Zamasu loses his composure and angrily trade punches with Garunks and Vegito.
After Vegito accidentally slips, Fused Zamasu takes this opportunity and sends Garunks flying with a Holy Wrath, although Garunks managed to dodge the attack before it connected with anything solid, and decides to ascend even further, transforming into a Super Saiyan 3. Garunks and Vegito resume their relentless assault on Fused Zamasu, and they continue to damage the immortal god, although Fused Zamasu's injuries continued to heal after every attack.
As Garunks and Vegito continue to pummel Fused Zamasu, they decide to end the battle once and for all. Vegito charges his Final Kamehameha while Garunks fires his Explosive Fire Cutter, and both attacks connect with Fused Zamasu. Much to their surprise, however, Fused Zamasu hovers in the air afterwards unaffected. Vegito and Garunks attempt to perform a rush attack on Fused Zamasu, but both fusions run out before they can land any punches. Shin comments that Vegito's fusion shouldn't have worn out since it's been only thirty minutes, but Gowasu states that Vegito used too much power, which drained the Potara's power.
Dark King Mechikabura Saga[]
When faced off against a Fin-absorbed Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta, Garia and Future Trunks fuse into Garunks to battle him. Garunks is instructed to acquire the Dragon Balls from Omega Shenron, but Gogeta ends up obliterating Omega instead. Gogeta, not entirely sure what was going on but noticing Garunks, decided to test himself and Fin by engaging Garunks in combat. Dark Gogeta has an edge over Garunks, until Garunks surprises everyone by transforming into a Super Saiyan 4 to match Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta, but their fight is interrupted by Xeno Android 21, who decides to utilize her transformed state, and teams up with Garunks to unleash a powerful combination on Dark Gogeta, sending him crashing to the ground. Xeno Android 21 is astounded to see the Majin stand back up, but is stopped by Garunks, who wonders if Gogeta had "finally woken up", leading to an upper portion of Dark Gogeta's face peeling off and revealing Gogeta in complete control underneath. He apologizes for the misunderstanding, expressing his interest to go head-to-head with another fusion, something that Garunks completely understands and Xeno Android 21 doesn't understand at all.
Gogeta blasts Fin off his back, snarking that he isn't so weak as to get absorbed by the likes of the Majin, a statement that makes Fin furious. When the mind-controlled Chronoa appears and freezes everyone in place, Chamel uses his magic to teleport the Time Patrol and their allies to Demigra's lair, by which time Garunks has defused, leaving Gogeta in his altered timeline.
Later on, Garia and Trunks decide to fuse again into Garunks to battle against Mechikabura, but because they unknowingly switched positions during the Fusion Dance, they accidentally fused together into an entirely new being altogether: Gaks, and after witnessing the new fusion, Shaya commented that she preferred Garunks over Gaks.
Power[]
Having the combined powers of Garia and Future Trunks, Garunks' power goes beyond comprehension. His might was so great, that even Vegito theorised that if Garunks fought him with the intent to kill, Vegito would probably suffer critical damage, although Vegito never made it clear whether Garunks could actually defeat him in a fight.
Garunks' power was also well-respected by Chronoa, who during the all-out battle between the Time Patrol and the Dark Empire suggested that Garia and Future Trunks fused to bring Garunks into their side, but both fusees commented that the form's time limit would simply backfire against them, and not even Garunks' power could allow them to defeat their opponents within the time limit.

- Galick Gun – A technique which both of Garunks' fusees know how to perform.

- Super Saiyan
Main article: Super Saiyan
Garunks is capable of transforming into a Super Saiyan. As a Super Saiyan, he gains a slight increase in muscle mass, bluish-green eyes, very defined golden hair and eyebrows and a golden aura. Because of the intensity of his power, his aura also exhibits sparks around it (similar to Super Saiyan 2).
Once transformed, Garunks' power soared to unimaginable heights: Vegito himself momentarily became surprised with Garunks' energy and praised his immense amount of power. His power allowed him to block Fused Zamasu's Holy Wrath attack with one hand, although Vegito also blocked the attack with one hand as well, effectively giving major assistance. Individually, Super Saiyan Garunks was capable of fighting toe-to-toe with Fused Zamasu (alongside Vegito), before being overpowered and outclassed by Fused Zamasu's sheer power.
- Super Saiyan 3
"Check this out! Call me... Ultra Garunks" |
Main article: Super Saiyan 3
Super Saiyan 3 is Garunks' most powerful transformation (Garunks' fusee, Garia, was capable of transforming into a Super Saiyan God but Garunks didn't had the chance of attempting to transform due to the form's time limit expiring before he had a chance to do so). While under this form, Garunks refers to himself simply as Ultra Garunks (ウルトラランクス Urutora Garunkusu).
Garunks' Super Saiyan 3 power allowed him to stand on rather equal ground with Vegito to battle against Fused Zamasu, and despite being weaker than both Vegito and Fused Zamasu in terms of power, Garunks' stubborness and determination to keep battling allowed him to push himself beyond his limits and battle equally against the immortal god, earning the praise of Vegito in the process.
- Super Saiyan 4
Main article: Super Saiyan 4
"Am I great or what?! Feast your eyes on the ultimate fusion! Super Saiyan 4 Garunks!" |
Garunks achieved this transformation through Garia, as he was already capable of transforming into a Super Saiyan 4. While still retaining the signature black vest that all Fusion Dance entities have, Garunks's appearance changes drastically; his hair grows longer and wilder, reaching his mid-back. He also gains golden-yellow irises and the pigments around his eyes become lined in red.
The most defining change of his appearance is his body being covered in scarlet fur covering from shoulder-to-toe, excluding his chest and hands. Because of this, his upper clothes are torn to shreds, leaving him only dressed below the waist, excluding his armbands. This form's power far surpasses Super Saiyan 3, with Garunks being able to match a Fin-asborbed Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta in equal terms of power. Garunks's power was incredibly intimidating, that he was immediately considered to battle Time Power Unleashed Mechikabura, being recognized as the only being strong enough to match him.Battles[]

Trivia[]
- After Garia and Future Trunks successfully completed the fusion, Garunks went through a few names before settling on his actual name.
- The proposed names were Trunria (トランリア Toranria), and Gariaks (ガリアクス Gariakusu).
- When Garia first transformed into a Super Saiyan 3, he initially thought about calling himself Super Garunks (超ランクス Sūpā Garunkusu) before discarding the idea after realizing that it would sound "too similar" to Vegito's manner of calling himself Super Vegito.
