A Japanese Dragon Ball fan recently came up with a Gogeta animation that has gone viral online, which makes a lot of sense when considering the level of display at hand. It shows the fusion of Goku and Vegeta making full use of his ability in a smooth and fluid animation style, which shows the level of talent, the anime fan community has over the world.

There is also no denying that Gogeta is one of the most popular Dragon Ball transformations of all time, and his performance during the 2018 Broly movie only served to make him even more beloved by the fandom. This fan animation is a very good example of that, to the point that some people pointed out that this user on X should be hired by Toei for the upcoming projects of the franchise.

A Japanese on X named @kazumax76 made a Gogeta fan animation that has gone viral for all the right reasons since it displays a level of quality that wouldn't feel out of place in a professional studio. It features the character flying and making a full display of his abilities against ice-based attacks which amazed fans in just twenty-five seconds.

Part of the reason that it got so much praise is that it managed to maintain the style of the original series while adding its sense of gravitas and style, thus not feeling like a copy of what is done by Toei Animation. Furthermore, the user stated,

"I want to do something about the background and effects not being able to concentrate on the line drawing and coloring of the characters."

It was a fitting tribute to one of the most popular transformations of the series and also a style of animation that has become quite prominent in recent years, especially because of the success of Studio MAPPA productions such as Jujutsu Kaisen. Even Toei properties such as One Piece have featured a greater emphasis on fluid animation.

As mentioned earlier, Gogeta has always been one of the most popular Dragon Ball characters because of his extremely high power levels and is one of the fusions between Vegeta and Goku. Moreover, the 2018 Broly film further raised his popularity because of the incredible battle he had with the title character and the high-quality animation that was on display during said combat.

There have been a lot of comparisons between Gogeta and Vegito, the Potara fusion between the two main characters. Some fans prefer one or the other but there is no denying that they are both popular because they perfectly encapsulate everything people love about Goku and Vegeta as individuals.
