Just then, a giant tyrannosaurus rex appears, and Trunks and Goten toy with it first, then defeat it. With the dinosaur gone, the villagers reject the priest for not being a savior, and is thrown out of the village. Trunks, Goten and Videl, depart the now peaceful Natade Village. Unbeknownst to the trio, however, Broly awoke due to Goten's incessant cries and broke out of the ice, which imprisoned him for seven years.
Videl is the first to encounter Broly and is taken down. Trunks and Goten show up, but upon seeing Goten, Broly flies into a rage due to mistaking him for Goku and pummels the two young Saiyans though they bravely try to fight back, turning Super Saiyan in the process.
It takes Goten longer than expected, and Trunks is left to fend off against Broly alone, attempting to flee until he realizes how ashamed his father would be. Eventually Gohan appears and battles Broly himself. During the final struggle, Trunks plays a small but important role: using the last of his strength, he throws an energy blast that blocks Legendary Super Saiyan Broly from powering up his Omega Blaster , allowing Goten, Gohan, and Goku to defeat the evil menace with the Family Kamehameha.
Satan promised her. Soon, Trunks, Goten, and No. Upon arriving, Lord Jaguar sets up a tournament for Mr. Satan to fight the Bio-Warriors but instead Trunks, Goten and Android 18 easily defeat them in his place. Jaguar reveals his greatest weapon: Bio-Broly , a clone of Broly.
Broly breaks out of his containment capsule, and is drenched in Culture Fluid, turning him into a horribly deformed bio-mutant. Bio-Broly was about to take Mr. Satan's life, but Trunks intervenes and saves him in time.
Trunks and Goten then battle Bio-Broly head-on and seem to be an equal match for him. Bio-Broly becomes a menace, and both Trunks and Goten become seriously pounded. Bio-Broly begins squeezing the life out of Trunks with his foot, and Goten saves Trunks just in time by punching Bio-Broly in the face. Unfortunately, there is a fatal flaw in Trunks' plan; the Culture Fluid becomes more powerful, and it starts to flood the entire island.
Trunks, Goten, Krillin, and 18 manage to get as many people as possible out of the lab. Trunks and Goten discover that bio-liquid solidifies by touching seawater. Trunks, Goten, and Krillin use a triple Kamehameha to blast a freak wave into the island, solidifying all bio-liquid on the island. Unfortunately, Bio-Broly emerges as a huge sea giant. However, he turns to stone, having been drenched in seawater. Trunks and Goten blast the gargantuan Bio-Broly stone statue into bits, ridding the Universe of the last remaining trace of Broly for good.
A massive instability event occurs in Other World, which brings the deceased back into the living world, Earth. Among the several past villains that return to life is Frieza, his army, and a character referred to as " The Dictator ".
The battle between them and The Dictator's army becomes increasingly long since reinforcements continue to pour into the city. Finally, Trunks and Goten turn into Super Saiyan to defeat the army. When they sense their fathers' fusion, they decide to fuse as well. Trunks and Goten gather their Dragon Ball after building a snowman and having a quick snowball fight then head to Capsule Corporation so that the wish can be granted.
Trunks is immediately taken to Tapion and expresses his desire to be like him. However Tapion rebuffs his attempts at bonding. Undeterred, Trunks continues to try, until Hoi suddenly appears, attempting to steal Tapion's flute.
Trunks is able to get a hold of it and faces the decision to give the flute back to Tapion or Hoi before ultimately deciding to trust Tapion. Afterward, the two become friends, with Tapion sharing his story with Trunks. However Hirudegarn emerges in a more powerful form and soon after, Hirudegarn attacks Gotenks so hard it causes him to split in two. With things appearing to be hopeless, Tapion tells Trunks to stab him in the heart with his sword so to stop the monster but Trunks can't bring himself to hurt his friend.
Reluctantly he takes the sword, but before he can strike, Hirudegarn becomes free from Tapion once more. Later, Trunks assists Goku in attacking the monster by slicing his tail off using the sword. Once Goku defeats the evil monster Hirudegarn, Tapion gives Trunks his sword, even saying it was always meant for him in reference to Future Trunks' swordsmanship. He then says his final farewell as Tapion uses Bulma's Time Machine to return to his home.
Four years after Kid Buu's defeat, Trunks is at his mother's birthday party with his family and friends. When the Pilaf Gang turned into children sneak into the party in order to steal the Dragon Balls, Trunks develops a crush on Mai and claims that she is his girlfriend just to boast to Goten.
Everyone takes it seriously and Mai gets shy. Sometime later that day, Bulma's party is continued and Trunks and Mai are in a tree. Main article: Dragon Ball Super: Broly. Trunks calls Bulma from the Capsule Corporation to inform her that the six Dragon Balls collected in her laboratory have been stolen. Trunks sends the surveillance footage through the watch, which reveals that the thieves were wearing Frieza-style armor. The adults instantly recognize what is going on, but none say anything until Bulma ends the call with Trunks.
Trunks then goes to Pilaf's Castle to retrieve another ball, encountering Pilaf - who sends his guardian to deal with the intruder, however Trunks defeats it and takes the Dragon Ball. Trunks then heads to the Kyodai Pyramid , saves Dr. Challenger 's men from the undead horde and defeats Pharaoh Totenhotep , he is then gifted a Dragon Ball by Challenger.
Two year after the defeat of Kid Buu, Trunks is now at the age of Trunks and his parents go to Mr. Satan's party, where they meet Tarble , who is Vegeta's brother and Trunks' uncle. Tarble tells them about two brothers who worked for Frieza , Abo and Kado. After pulling the longest radish in a contest to see who would have to fight Avo and Cado, Trunks confronts the two brothers with Goten. After a brief battle, Aka starts to destroy everything, but he ends up being defeated by Goku.
The school teaches the principle of channeling ki energy through swords to increase strike power. Their discipline has become one of the most praised disciplines on Earth as of Age Trunks has shown interest in swords since he was young, as in Age in Wrath of the Dragon , a hero named Tapion gave his sword to Trunks.
Main article: Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2. Trunks is encountered in Age during the Majin Buu conflict, with him retrieving the Dragon Radar. At the same time, Super Saiyan 3 Goku fights Majin Buu, who is empowered with Villainous Mode presumably by Demigra as Towa was planning to send Mira to fight both of them; thus, it would make little sense to empower him. Mira tries to join the fight so he can defeat both of them Towa herself is implied to want revenge for Majin Buu killing her brother Dabura though he is stopped and his body destroyed by the Future Warrior who aids Super Saiyan 3 Goku fight Dark Innocent Majin Buu and his clones, while Trunks manages to retrieve the Dragon Radar like in the original history thus the correction is successful.
He has Dark Piccolo attack Goten and Trunks to prevent them from fusing while Dark Super Buu fights Ultimate Gohan before having Dark Super Buu destroy Earth with a Super Vanishing Ball altering history which Demigra's Mirage is doing to weaken the barrier keeping the real Demigra imprisoned inside the Crack of Time which had been weakened previously by Towa and Mira's alterations to history allowing Demigra to send his Mirage to create more distortions in order to free himself while using the Future Warrior to eliminate Mira whom Demigra saw as a competitor and obstacles to his plan.
The Future Warrior must defeat Dark Piccolo to remove the enchantment as Demigra's Mirage reveals that defeating him will not dispel it. Piccolo is freed, and the Future Warrior buys Goten and Trunks time to fuse when Super Buu appears, allowing them to fuse into Gotenks.
Satan, Dende, and Bee escape thanks to Kibito Kai. Though Vegeta manages to save one of the Pudding cups for Beerus, who is about to enjoy it in contrast to the original timeline , Demigra's Mirage uses power to take control of the ball which he uses to knock the pudding cup out of Beerus' hands, angering him which ironically restores the correct flow as Beerus never go to eat the pudding. Demigra's Mirage tries to use Dark Magic to control Beerus, but the gods are shown to be quite resistant to it.
Trunks and Goten fuse into Gotenks but are defeated as per the original history and the other Z Fighters while the Future Warrior holds their own. It is eventually revealed that Beerus is immune to Dark Magic. However, he pretends to be under its control to lure out Demigra's Mirage to punish him for blasphemously trying to control a God of Destruction. Demigra's Mirage is defeated, but he escapes being destroyed by the Future Warrior thanks to his intangibility and retreats.
In addition to reviving the villains, he took control of Vegeta, Gohan, Goten, and Trunks. However, the Future Warrior and Goku manage to free them all after defeating the revived villains. A history change occurs in Age of Broly - Second Coming timeline. Demigra's Wormhole appears as part of a time-released spell that triggers after Demigra is killed during the Demigra Incident. Gohan and the Future Warrior manage to defeat Dark Broly.
Still, he is swallowed up by Demigra's Wormhole forcing the Future Warrior to return to Age as Trunks: Xeno works to track both Broly and Bardock who had been abducted previously from Age Trunks and Goten are shown after the battle wonder where the Future Warrior went, though Trunks assumes they must have headed into Natade Village to eat and both boys decide to head into the village to get something to eat as well.
Trunks: Xeno later returns Broly to Age of his timeline and the original history of that timeline is restored when Chronoa puts the scrolls together thus the events of the film play out as normal as the alterations disappear when Chronoa puts the scrolls together following a successful correction. However Dark Infected Trunks plays dirty even pretending to be freed from Baby's control in order to get them to lower their guards but Trunks: Xeno sees through his deception and warns his partner not to fall for it, before revealing he is disgusted by his Infected counterpart's evil and underhanded tactics as well as presumably disappointed his counterpart was unable to mentally resist the parasite as Trunks: Xeno was able to do when Demigra took control of his body with Dark Magic during the Demigra Incident in Trunks' defense the Tuffle parasites hold is stronger as not even Vegeta was able to resist Baby possessing him despite his strong willed personality.
Later on in Age , Super Saiyan Trunks appears to join the fight against the escaped villains as a history change results in his father Vegeta not appearing, which causes Nappa to become leader of the Neo Ginyu Force in place of Captain Ginyu. Together they manage to defeat the villains, unfortunately Dark Hell Fighter 17 blasts Trunks away causing Trunks: Xeno who had suffered greatly due to the actions of Future Android 17 in his timeline to worry about his counterpart though since the warrior is never tasked with trying to prevent his death it is strongly implied he was only knocked out and survived as the Time Patrol tends to fix non-historic deaths save for villains who might be killed earlier or later than they should be.
Though Trunks wants to fight alongside his father, Majin Vegeta hugs him much to his embarrassment before knocking him and Goten out. Piccolo arrives, and Majin Vegeta tells him to take the boys away as he plans to blow himself up to kill Majin Buu. However, he thanks the Future Warrior for preventing Broly from interfering with Majin Vegeta's fight with Goku as he wanted before telling them to flee as well.
Majin Vegeta then uses Final Explosion dying heroically in a noble but futile attempt to protect his family and the Earth from the evil Majin Buu, whom Majin Vegeta had inadvertently unleashed. Trunks: Xeno observes the whole thing from the Time Nest, which causes Elder Kai to assume it was a rough piece of history for him to watch; however, Trunks: Xeno reveals he is proud to be his father's son understanding that Vegeta's love for his wife and son were far more potent than Babidi's Magic or Vegeta's desire to return to his evil ways so he could fight Goku without reservations, proving that Vegeta had become a good person.
Though this part of the timeline is corrected as a side effect of the correction, a naturally occurring time fragment timeline is produced in which Trunks teams up with Majin Vegeta to fight both Broly and Majin Buu, which results in Parallel Quest "Daddy!
Don't Die! The quest is failed if Trunks is defeated. However, as they escape the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Towa empowers Super Buu with her new Supervillain spell by shaving off some of Super Buu's life to grant him greater dark power-up than Villainous Mode. This puts Super Saiyan 3 Gotenks and Piccolo at a disadvantage. Both Piccolo and Gotenks realize that Gotenks can't win on his own, so Piccolo even asks for the Warrior's help, though Chronoa states that Supervillain is making Super Buu grow stronger; thus, the three are barely a match for him.
To make matters worse, Gotenks' fusion runs out, forcing Piccolo and the Future Warrior to fight Supervillain Super Buu on their own as Trunks and Goten need time to recover.
Goten asks Trunks what they should do, though he doesn't know before stating he thinks they will need Future Warrior whom he calls "that weirdo" to protect them. Elder Kai, however, tells the Warrior to hang in there a bit longer for Ultimate Gohan to fly in and rescue them powered-up by Elder Kai's ritual. He is confident they can destroy Super Buu with his help, though Chronoa notes Elder Kai can't resist bragging. Elder Kai and Chronoa note that history seems to be back on track despite Super Buu's power-up.
Elder Kai notes that in that form, even Ultimate Gohan will have a hard time fighting both Broly and Super Buu at the same time and tells the Future Warrior not to let him anywhere near Ultimate Gohan. Chronoa reveals Broly's Saiyan Power has increased his strength since he survived his previous defeat; thus, they must make sure to kill him this time.
After Broly is defeated, Chronoa decides they can leave the rest to Gohan. Unfortunately, she is contacted by Trunks: Xeno, who informs them of a problem in Hell, which is preventing Vegeta from leaving to join the battle, which will render the Potara useless when Super Buu absorbs Piccolo, Gotenks, and Gohan. Chronoa tells the Future Warrior to find an opening and flee the battle, leaving Super Buu to Gohan and the others as ensuring Vegeta leaves Hell as he is supposed to be a more urgent priority.
After the warrior weakens Janemba, Vegeta kills him with a Final Flash in his base form before leaving Hell where he meets up with Goku resulting in them fusing into Vegito and rescuing the boys, Gohan, and Piccolo, who are killed when Kid Buu destroys the Earth only to be revived with the Namekian Dragon Balls.
Trunks meets his Future counterpart after the original Future Warrior the protagonist of Xenoverse is sent to ensure Future Trunks travels to the main timeline after Supervillain Goku Black destroys the Time Machine and Future Trunks with a Black Kamehameha in an altered timeline of Age However Goku Black arrives before Trunks learns Future Trunks is his future counterpart, thus he still worries about him being his parents secret child, which is made worse if the 2nd Future Warrior is a Saiyan as it causes him to worry they are proof of another secret child.
However after Black is sucked back to Age , he is presumably informed of the true nature of his counterpart though Future Trunks has no clue who the Future Warrior is as he is not a member of the Time Patroller like Trunks: Xeno. Fortunately aid comes from an unlikely source as Rift in Time created by Goku Black ends up connecting Age to various timelines, including the GT Timeline.
The Dragon Ball Super incarnation of Trunks visits Conton City with his parents and Goten, becoming acquainted with his other alternate future counterpart, Trunks: Xeno who is a different incarnation of Future Trunks than the one from Dragon Ball Super as there are notable differences though the game itself confusingly never outright states whether they are the same person or not when it is quite evident that they cannot be due to crucial differences such as Trunks: Xeno's purple hair, lack of Super Saiyan Anger, and not knowing about Beerus until Chronoa told him in Xenoverse which can only be explained away as them being alternate timeline counterparts as Trunks: Xeno was created before Future Trunks appeared in Dragon Ball Super.
Bulma uses data collected in Conton City to construct the Hero Colosseum, a battle simulator that allows people to fight virtually using customizable Hero Figures, representing historical fighters. Bulma tries to promote it to the Time Patrollers in Conton City, though most of them prefer to settle things with their fists.
However, Trunks and Goten, being kids, become huge fans of the game, though Trunks is better at it than Goten. Bulma continues to try and drum up interest, even giving some figures to Trunks: Xeno. Elder Kai notices him holding a figure of his younger counterpart as a Super Saiyan, which Elder Kai mistakes for a doll.
At the same time, Chronoa correctly identifies it as a figure due to being more up-to-date on things, even criticizing Elder Kai for being behind the times.
Trunks: Xeno gives some figures to the Future Warrior, though admits to Chronoa and Elder Kai that he forgot to ask what they were used for only knowing they could be used in some game. Chronoa then remembers she thought she saw Goten and "Little" Trunks referring to his younger counterpart playing with them earlier in Conton City, so Trunks: Xeno and the Future Warrior decide to ask them more about the game.
They walk into the Hero Colosseum just as Goten loses another match against Trunks, who notes he may be just too strong at figure battles. The two incarnations of Trunks greet each other, and Trunks notices they have Hero Figures and assumes they are there to figure battle, though Trunks: Xeno who did not have a peaceful childhood due to the Androids is confused as to how they can make figures.
Trunks explains it to them, even quoting his mother Bulma's previous explanation of the game that she had told him and Goten previously, though Trunks: Xeno is still confused; thus, Trunks says that it would be easier to show them. Trunks decides to take on his counterpart leaving the Future Warrior to fight Goten. Goten loses to the Future Warrior, while Trunks defeats his older counterpart, much to his dismay as he was hoping for a challenge presumably tired of winning all the time though after hearing the Future Warrior has some skill despite being a relative newbie, he decides to fight them and since they are skilled enough to beat the more experienced Goten he does not have to hold back.
However, despite going all out, he loses. However, he is not discouraged as he decides he'll have to get stronger and maybe get a new figure, a sentiment shared by Goten and the boys race off to get stronger so they can beat the Future Warrior, causing Trunks: Xeno to note they both like them.
Trunks: Xeno admits that he still had fun while he lost and decided this is just what the Time Patrol needs to relax. Trunks greets his mother, who reveals she saw the boys fight with Trunks: Xeno and the Future Warrior the other day. Impressed with the Future Warrior's skill despite being a relative newcomer, Bulma decides to give them the position of Chief Promoter of the Hero Colosseum, to Trunks's shock, his counterpart Goten, and the Future Warrior.
Trunks: Xeno explains to his mother that the warrior is an active Time Patroller, which she reveals she is aware of though she asks them to help out when they're not on duty. Trunks: Xeno either gets roped into it by Bulma or decides to help the Future Warrior if they agree to take the job. Bulma reveals that the only real fans she has been able to get interested in are Goten and Trunks. She isn't accommodating as leaves it to Trunks: Xeno and the Future Warrior to come up with ideas.
Vegeta walks in, curious as to what his wife is up to in Conton City. Trunks explains the Hero Colosseum to his father before noting he received some figures himself, reminding Vegeta of his received figures. Bulma admonishes Vegeta for not showing an interest in her work though Vegeta points out to a warrior like him that it is nothing more than a childish game. Bulma tries to interest him via his competitive ego. However, Vegeta still refuses, having learned not to let his pride get the better of him presumably due to his past encounter Semi-Perfect Cell.
However, Trunks tells his father he wants to see him fight, seconded by Trunks: Xeno and Bulma manage to convince him to fight just one battle with the Future Warrior. Vegeta is defeated, and Trunks is surprised when he takes losing the game hard though in actuality, Vegeta takes the loss as one would expect with him frustrated by his loss and swearing to grow stronger before rushing off to train. After the figure battle, everyone notes the Saiyan Time Patrollers have suddenly become interested as a result of Prince Vegeta taking an interest in the game, which Trunks: Xeno states is not surprising as Saiyans tend to look up to him as he is the Saiyan Prince and after seeing an intense fight like that Saiyans can't resist trying it out themselves due to their love of fighting no matter what form it might take.
Bulma decides its perfect for marketing as they can have famous people fight to drum up interest, though she leaves it up to the two Time Patrollers to figure out. Trunks occasionally helps his counterpart and the Future Warrior out with their promotion efforts due to his love of the game, giving him more people to fight against as interest in the game increases.
Due to Tekka and Pinich's wish to Shenron for the Timespace Tournament to determine the strongest in time and space, the Timespace Rift is created which connects various timelines and eras together. Goten and Trunks learn of the Timespace Tournament in which teams of five compete to determine the strongest in time and space. Goten and Trunks decide to go look for teammates so they can enter. Pinich sets out on his own as he sees Tekka as his rival, thus Bulma suggests they look for Goten and Trunks.
However, Ziku accidentally guides Tekka to Nappa and Raditz who Trunks and Goten had run into and defeated previously. They decide to team up with Tekka for the tournament and go back to Capsule Corp. The boys and Tekka decide to see if Goku wants to join them.
However Ziku reveals Goku is in another dimension though Trunks and Goten remember how Gotenks escaped the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and Ziku confirms that they can create a hole in timespace in a similar manner using Burst Ki. Tekka opens a time hole, but instead of the Goten's father, Kid Goku appears. Trunks and Goten are confused, but Ziku confirms that it is Goku. Kid Goku is understandably shocked to learn Goten is his son and that Trunks' is Bulma's from the future. They learn that Kid Goku is from when he was still training under Kami.
They meet with Bulma at Capsule Corp. Raditz recognizes Kid Goku as his younger brother Kakarot, though Kid Goku doesn't know him as he is unaware of his Saiyan heritage. Raditz and Nappa reveal they learned fusion dance after Trunks and Goten had used it during their previous unseen encounter.
Trunks decides to let them keep it as they found it first and out of consideration for Mai and his friendship with Shu and Pilaf. They then decide to search the next area of the rift as they need one more teammate to participate in the tournament. However, climbing Korin's Tower tires them out, and they are forced to rest on King Kai's planet. King Kai teaches them about the energy they can utilize in the Timespace Rift and how it is used to dispel barriers and acquired through battles.
They eventually manage to make it to Satan City and dispel its barrier granting them access to the city. They, however, cannot find anyone to join. Ziku detects energy coming from another dimension, and so Tekka uses Burst Ki to open another time hole. Suddenly Pan comes out, apparently having been in the midst of battle as she accidentally punches Trunks. Pan is shocked to see Kid Goku, whom she mistakes for his GT counterpart, and fears Trunks has turned into a kid as well before they explain the Timespace Rift to her.
Worried about Goku and Trunks whom she has a low opinion of due to their counterparts, decides to join the team to keep them out of trouble, much to Trunks' confusion. They eventually encounter the Ginyu Force whom they befriend due to being unaware of their connection with the tyrant Frieza.
They agree to break the barrier around Frieza's Spaceship as the Ginyu Force believe someone important to them presumably Frieza is trapped inside. They manage to break the barrier but find no one on the ship and report back to the Ginyu Force. This allows Tekka, Goku, Goten, Trunks, and Pan to fuse into an Ultra Fusion the race and gender of which is determined by the one that initiated it such as an Male Earthling Ultra Fusion if Trunks or Goten initiate it as Earthling Saiyan hybrids are considered Earthlings which while powerful has limited fusion time.
While Goten, Trunks, Tekka, and Goku enjoyed it Pan is mortified by the embarrassing dance that they have to perform. Thankful, Goten and Trunks teach the Ginyu Force the fusion dance which impresses the Ginyu Force who like it due to their love of posing. Ziku later detects a high power level near Frieza's Spaceship which Tekka's Team and the Ginyu Force investigate discovering it is coming from another dimension. Tekka uses Burst Ki to open a time hole but inadvertently frees the cocooned Frieza after his second death from Earth's Hell.
Frieza orders the Ginyu Force to kill Tekka's Team, which they reluctantly obey. Ginyu wants to fuse with Frieza, but he refuses to do so; thus, Captain Ginyu, Gulce, and Recurter take on Tekka's team. However, they are defeated, which causes them and Frieza to retreat, abandoning Frieza's Spaceship in the process. Trunks decides to keep the ship and have his mother convert it into a mobile base for Tekka's Team to travel around the Timespace Rift easier and give them a place to rest and relax.
Bulla asks Tekka's Team to help drum up business for the Clothing Shop in Satan City so she can have someplace to go shopping. They end up passing out fliers, which helps drum up business.
Bulla thanks them before deciding to reveal her status as Trunks' younger sister enjoying the fact that she is older than him and his shocked reaction as it is implied he comes from the timeline before Bulla was born. While traveling to the next area, their Spaceship crashes into Pinich, who fortunately lands on a nearby floating island. Tekka wakes him, and they apologize for hitting him.
Suddenly Vegeta appears, and Trunks learns his dad has taken on the young Saiyan Pinich as a student. They continue to Kame House, where Goku meets Master Roshi, who refuses to join Tekka's Team though he does agree to teach them how to recruit fighters with Zenkai Attacks and by taking part in Sub-Quests to increase energy and gain more teammates.
Back in the Area 2F, they hear a girl screaming and discover Bulla being attacked by some fighters. Tekka's Team step in to rescue her but find that it was all an act as Bulla was trying to get a pure hearted boy named Dennish to notice her by creating a damsel in distress scenario so he would come to her rescue. She angrily tells them to mind their own business before rushing off.
However, they end up foiling another one of her attempts behind Orange Star High School, causing her to tell them to back off or there will be trouble. Bulla, tired of their constant interference, decides to stage another fake rescue, and sure enough, Tekka's Team falls for it, and she decides to fulfill her promise challenging them to a fight.
Trunks is surprised that Bulla knows how to fight, given her personality, causing her to remind him she too has their parents' blood flowing through her veins.
However, due to her lack of training, as she is not a serious fighter like Trunks, Goten, Pan, Goku, or Tekka, Bulla loses along with the fighters who helped her with her schemes. Bulla asks why Tekka and their team kept butting in only to be touched to learn they were worried and decides she likes their style.
Bulla forgets about trying to get Dennish interest and joins Tekka's Team. Tekka's team later learn that fighters have been congregating at the Cell Games Arena where they face off against several teams. Suddenly Ziku detects Goku and Piccolo's ki coming from another dimension. Tekka opens up a time hole, but Ziku suddenly detects Vegeta, Frieza, and King Cold's energy causing Kid Goku to realize something is wrong.
Cell reveals he attacked them in order to lure out Adult Goku who comes from the same timeline as Trunks and Goten. Goku convinces Cell to let him train Tekka's Team so they can defeat him. However Pilaf Gang have been hounded by fighters as they searched for the Dragon Balls end up making a wish that summons Broly to the Timespace Rift. Trunks and Goten remember Broly having had encountered him in their timeline of origin. Broly targets Kid Goku as he recognizes his hated nemesis whom he knew as a baby.
Tekka's Team find Broly to strong to defeat on their own and decide to open time holes in hopes of finding an ally to defeat him after Pinich is knocked out while trying to help Tekka's Team.
The time hole summons Towa and Mira to the Timespace Rift. Both Trunks and Goten are awestruck by Towa's beauty while Pan is shocked to learn that she knows Trunks. Towa agrees to help them deal with Broly, though this is just a ruse as Towa uses her power to turn Broly into a Great Ape as payback for the what Trunks: Xeno did.
Trunks has no idea what she's taking about while Pan assumes Trunks was the one at fault due to being unaware that Towa is a villain.
Tekka's Team are forced to fight Great Ape Broly and manage to defeat him but he revives, though fortunately Beerus appears and knocks the Legendary Great Ape away with a ki blast, causing Towa and Mira to flee not wanting to tangle with the God of Destruction.
Perfect Disguise?! It is suggested that he ask Fortuneteller Baba, but Trunks isn't comfortable asking himself, so Gohan suggests he disguise himself and gives him a Great Saiyaman Suit. Though he is unsure due to his dislike of the suit, he begrudgingly accepts the disguise and goes to Baba's Palace. However, Baba reveals her high service charge which, ironically, Trunks can't afford it himself, despite his family's immense wealth.
However, she tells him about her fighters as an alternate method of payment, which Trunks accepts. He manages to defeat Fangs, See-through, and Bandages. He holds his own against Devilman, but when Devilman reveals his Devilmite Beam technique's ability to destroy those with impure hearts, Trunks is unsure if he is pure enough to survive and eventually forfeits, resolving that he will face whatever the future holds together with Mai.
Ironically after he leaves, Mai asks Baba about her love life and future with Trunks as the event ends. Trunks is able to achieve the Super Saiyan form much earlier than his father and future counterpart. Due to a combination of his Saiyan heritage and having trained under his father Vegeta at an early age, Trunks is a capable fighter.
He continuously trains with his father, Vegeta, in the Gravity Room because Vegeta wants Trunks to be stronger than Goten. While preparing for the 25th World Martial Arts tournament, training under times gravity is challenging for Trunks. However, when he transforms into a Super Saiyan, he is able to move easily in the Gravity Room.
Due to his strong friendship and friendly rivalry with Goten, both are shown to work well as a team, this made him and Goten ideal candidates for learning the Fusion Dance. In the anime, after training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber for a week and managing to have Gotenks achieve Super Saiyan 3 , Trunks states that he and Goten have become more than twice as strong as before. When peace came after defeating Kid Buu, Trunks stopped training. In Dragon Ball Super , Trunks only fought with Goten or fused with him, due to the extreme gap in power between himself and their enemies.
Despite being fused as Gotenks, the duo often were overpowered by foes such as Beerus and Duplicate Vegeta , although they were able to damage Tagoma and were able to interest the newly revived Frieza.
After meeting his future counterpart, Trunks attempts to re motivate him by insulting him and attacking him as a Super Saiyan. While the fight was unseen, we are able to see post battle Trunks even as a Super Saiyan was not even a remote challenge for Future Trunks , who appeared no worse for wear while Trunks himself was completely exhausted. By the time of the Universe Survival Saga , in the manga Super Saiyan Trunks was able to hold off multiple Cell Juniors at once, though he appeared to be at a disadvantage.
Vegeta also tells Android 17 that Trunks is just as good as the Trunks 17 knew , despite being a kid. In Dragon Ball GT at the start of the series it is stated that Trunks has not been training seriously. He is also able to somewhat keep up with Goku against Luud. Myuu is interested in Trunks' power, and remarks that he'd make a fine Machine Mutant.
In the Baby Saga , when Goku states that Rilldo is stronger than Majin Buu, Trunks states that he is getting riled up, excited to fight him However he does not, because of the plan he and Giru came up with in order to get the Dragon Balls back. Seeing the enraged Pan knock down Rilldo, Trunks considers the possibility that she is stronger than him.
Goku also remarks that he found it strange that Trunks was beaten so easily, which gave away his plan to Goku. He is later shown to be much stronger than infant Baby and was too strong for Baby to control. Baby even went as far as to describe his power as "bottomless".
However, Trunks' distinctive fashion sense does not work for everyone and he inspired way too many kids to get bowl-cuts despite their parents' warnings and disapproval. Future Trunks' bowl-cut may have inspired more regrettable haircuts than any other anime character in the history of the medium and ruined more elementary school yearbook pictures than perhaps any other fictional character.
The Dragon Ball canon is a bit sloppy and frequently contradicts itself. While the film Dragon Ball Z: Wrath of the Dragon is generally considered non-canonical, it does try to explain the backstory of Future Trunks' sword.
His half jacket is still a powerful look and his boots rock, but his seatbelt belt buckle is way out of style. In Dragon Ball Super , Future Trunks is dating a woman named Mai who is roughly his own age and it seems like they have known each other for a quite a while. However, Mai is one of the first characters to appear in Dragon Ball and appeared to be in her late teens or early twenties when Goku was a child. The main timeline Mai is currently a child, due to a botched wish on the Dragon Balls.
This is a thematically appropriate event and allows Future Trunks to finally become humanity's savior after years of struggling to live up to his expectations for himself. However, viewers never see Future Trunks learn the Spirit Bomb technique from one of the Kai deities and it was implied that Goku was the only person capable of gathering energy from other living beings. In the Dragon Ball Super manga, which loosely follows the events of the anime while diverging significantly at specific story beats, Future Trunks becomes a Supreme Kai Disciple without realizing that it and has access to a host of useful powers and abilities.
This is really odd and undermines Future Trunks' nature as a naive, but generally thoughtful, and intelligent character. To become a kai disciple, the Supreme Kai Shin would have had to perform a day-long ritual; meaning Trunks spent an entire day with the Supreme Kai dancing around him, without ever questioning the purpose of the bizarre activity.
Names in Dragon Ball are pretty weird. For instance, Future Trunks and his family all have names that are based on articles of clothing.
Brief, is clearly from the corresponding style of underwear. However, Dr. However, this creates a wealth of paradoxes and breaks the time travel rules set earlier in the series. Having multiple versions of the same people is also likely to cause quite a few problems as well.
Xeno Trunks is tasked with helping protect the timeline from the dangerous Towa and Mira, This Trunks proved to be perhaps the most powerful version of the character in the franchise, as his battles across the timeline have forced him to take on new forms and power levels that haven't been reached by any other version of the character.
This is also a Trunks who made use of two unique fusions: he used the Potara Earrings to fuse with Xeno Vegeta and create Vegeks, and would later use the Fusion Dance with Gohan to create Gohanks. He would eventually even reach levels of power that the core Future Tunks never has, achieving Super Saiyan 3 and even eventually the Super Saiyan God form. This Trunks is a great representation of the battle-heavy side of Dragon Ball , finding new extreme levels of power without adding much in terms of character.
He's an impressive warrior but doesn't have that extra level of character depth to make him the best of the bunch. Future Trunks is the most memorable version of the character, and arguably among the fanbases favorites. His introduction included cutting Frieza in half with a sword, which is a pretty great introduction for any character.
It's revealed that this Trunks comes from a timeline where Goku passed away from heart disease. He wasn't there to help fight the Red Ribbon Army Androids, who wiped out the rest of the Z-Warriors -- including Trunks' father Vegeta before he ever got to know him and Piccolo, meaning the Dragon Balls were once more lost. He trained under Gohan until he died as well before heading into the past using a time machine constructed by his mother.
Future Trunks received a decent amount of attention in his first series of appearances, fighting alongside the Z-Warriors before eventually returning to his own time and completing his own arc. His eventual return during Dragon Ball Super added even more pathos to the character, giving him a love interest in Mai and a new mortal enemy in Goku Black.
The "Future Trunks" arc helps elevate Future Trunks beyond his already pretty solid character development from Dragon Ball Z and helps shoot him beyond almost the rest of the entire supporting cast in terms of emotional richness. This is a character who actually recognizes and deals with the trauma of living in a world where laser blasts wipe out entire cities, and it's an engaging take on the universe.
There's a melancholy to Future Trunks and his plight that makes him unique to the franchise, and easily one of the engaging characters in the entire world. Also, he learns how to activate a unique form of power called Super Saiyan Rage, and even figures out how to essentially turn his sword into a spirit bomb-powered lightsaber with a move called the Sword of Hope, and that's just awesome.
