Well, as is evidenced by all the chatter, fusion powers (the ability for two gems to 'fuse' together into a single being) is undoubtedly the most badass thing that has occurred on this show in terms of combat, however, I don't really think its good for the canon. Why? Because its a slippery slope and now it becomes more than just another power and now their most powerful tool, which means its now not about the individual any more. I look at DBZ for this, the fusing in that show to create some of their most powerful members, I honestly think was much more lame than just letting two fighters work cooperatively and less of a literal fusion. Now every time they feel overwhelmed in battle its like "why didn't they fuse? why not this time?" And obviously, that's because I don't think we'll want to see it ALL the time because we, at least I, enjoy seeing them fight individually.

It honestly feels more like some kind of extremely well done fanfic than actual canon. So... yeah, it'd be cool to see it every now and then, but them being able to do it whenever I feel takes away from the canon. It is, however, undeniably badass.
