Trunks, having never met his father, nor grown up under his influence, combined with the fact that he grew up in an apocalyptic world, is very cautious, broody, and serious (such as when he begged Vegeta not to challenge the Androids without Goku being present<ref>''[[Dragon Ball Z]]'' episode 133, "[[Nightmare Comes True]]"</ref> or when he did not want Vegeta to trust [[Paragus]]),<ref>''[[Dragon Ball Z: Broly - The Legendary Super Saiyan]]'', 1993</ref> unlike [[Trunks|his main timeline counterpart]], who had a personality very similar to his father's.<ref>''[[Daizenshuu 7]]'', 1996</ref> Due to living in such harsh times and trying to find any means necessary to destroy the androids, Trunks lacks the arrogance and pride of Saiyans like Goku and Vegeta and uses methods unbecoming of a traditional Saiyan warrior. Examples include suggesting that Goku eat a Senzu Bean during his fight against Perfect Cell and attempting to destroy present Androids 17 and 18 before they could be activated. This contrasts his present day counterpart, who arrogantly stated he intended to fight Goten with one hand on one occasion. Future Trunks clearly fears the Androids, panicking at the introduction of [[Android 16]].

When he finally meets [[Vegeta]] in the past, Future Trunks is seen to be constantly trying to impress him. This is often mixed with disgust and horror towards his father's uncaring attitude towards those around him, especially when Vegeta refused to save [[Bulma]] and baby Trunks when [[Dr. Gero]] blows up their [[capsule]] [[airplane]], forcing Future Trunks to save his present counterpart and mother.

[[File:ArmCounter2.jpg|thumb|left|Future Trunks easily deflects an attack from a soldier in King Cold's army]]
In [[Age 784]], Trunks travels back in time 20 years, in order to warn Goku about the android threat in the near future, as well as to deliver [[Heart Medicine|medication]] that will cure Goku of the heart virus that he is supposed to die from. However, upon arrival he is greeted by [[Frieza]] with his father [[King Cold]]. They had come to Earth in order to seek revenge upon Goku's loved ones, and to kill Goku himself. Trunks, then seventeen years old, did not look like much of a threat to Frieza, and he freely told him so. Trunks implies his ability to transform into a Super Saiyan, but Frieza, albeit initially shocked, laughs it off along with his father. Trunks, anticipating that Frieza does not believe him, proves it by transforming, to Frieza's horror. Frieza was then given three opportunities to kill Future Trunks, but the young Super Saiyan is able to block and dodge the attacks with ease, and he kills all the soldiers Frieza and his father had brought to Earth.

Frieza, cut in half, was defeated by having his body hacked to pieces and Future Trunks then followed up with an energy blast, and was soon followed by his arrogant father King Cold, who was killed by a [[God Breaker]]. Trunks then guides the [[Dragon Team]] congregated nearby to the place where Goku is going to land, and then has them wait for Goku to arrive. He offers the Z Fighters a drink from his [[capsule]] cooler. During their wait, Trunks keeps staring at Vegeta (due to it being the first time he actually met his father since he died during the Android attack in his timeline while he was still a baby), causing the latter to demand to know why he is staring at him. In addition, the Bulma notes Trunks' resemblance to Vegeta in facial features and [[Tien Shinhan|Tien]] speculates that he must have met Goku during the latter's trip in outer space, although the theory is shot down when [[Chiaotzu]] reminds them that Trunks said he never actually met Goku before. After two hours, upon looking at his watch, Trunks informs the Z Fighters that [[Attack Ball|Goku's ship]] is about to land.

When Goku arrives, Trunks finds out to his chagrin that he interfered with the timeline unnecessarily; although miles away in space, Goku was prepared to step in using his [[Instant Transmission]] technique (just as he did in Trunks' original timeline) when Trunks showed up and killed Frieza. Trunks then informs Goku of the future where the Androids arrive and kill all of the Z Fighters in a large battle, also telling Goku not to inform anyone about his parents. However, [[Piccolo]]'s sensitive Namekian ears pick up the conversation, and as Goku forgot some details about Trunks' telling, Piccolo tells the Z Fighters of the future, inspiring the heroes to train their hardest for the next three years. However, inadvertently, Trunks' revelation of the future alters it slightly.

[[File:TrunksFutureBackToThePast02.png|thumb|Future Trunks finds Android 19's head]]
When the androids eventually appear and they face the Z Fighters, Goku had not contracted the heart disease six months prior like he was supposed to, instead he contracted it during the battle against [[Android 19]]. Before Goku could be killed, [[Vegeta]] saves him, telling [[Yamcha]] to take him [[Grandpa Gohan's house|home]] and cure him with his medication, and reveals his new Super Saiyan form, killing Android 19 with great ease when he uses his signature [[Big Bang Attack]] to reduce him to a smoldering head. Trunks returns to the past to find Android 19's detached head on the [[Southern Continent]] and [[Dr. Gero|Android 20]], two androids he never saw in his timeline and realizes that this timeline is now branching off considerably from his own. When Android 20 (who is, Dr. Gero in reality) releases the real androids of his future, [[Android 17]] and [[Android 18]], they rebel and kill their creator before releasing the previously unknown [[Android 16]].

Because Trunks warned the heroes of the future and they trained to become stronger, the androids of this timeline have been made considerably stronger, to the point where Android 18 is able to even easily take down Super Saiyan Vegeta and Super Saiyan Trunks together. Vegeta fights Android 18 and eventually loses. Trunks rushes to his father's aid, in an attempt to slash her with his sword; however, she blocks the attack (causing the sword to crack, much to his astonishment), and he was struck down by Android 17 seconds later. Moments later, he had recovered and attempts another attack; however, Android 18 caught on to this and throws Vegeta at him. Trunks was then defeated, while returning to his base form. Afterwards, he and Krillin went to Goku's house to evacuate him from the premises, and boards Yamcha's airship.

Eventually, [[Cell]] from another alternate timeline is revealed and hatches from his larval state, and he sets about absorbing the androids of the current timeline. After learning from Piccolo how Cell was created and the location at what was Dr. Gero's Lab where Cell was being created, Trunks set out alongside Krillin to destroy the [[Present Cell|main timeline's incarnation of Cell]] and the underground lab. During this event, Trunks uncovers blueprints of Android 17, eventually leading to the discovery of the Android's weakness: a [[Shut Down Remote]]. Because the androids and Cell are superior in strength to any of the fighters, the heroes go to train again, this time in the [[Hyperbolic Time Chamber]].

When Vegeta and Trunks train in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber together, Trunks believes he surpasses Vegeta in power (though he fails to see the reason why Vegeta stops increasing his maximum power at the time) by ascending further to the [[Super Saiyan Third Grade]] state like Trunks. However, throughout the year that was spent in the Time Chamber, Trunks realized Vegeta's real sense of [[Saiyan]] pride and thought it was best to hide his true [[power level]] out of fear of upsetting his father, unaware of the fact or reason Vegeta purposely did not ascend.

Trunks had managed to reach what is known as the Super Saiyan Third Grade state, where the Saiyan is still a Super Saiyan, but has greatly augmented their physical strength from even the [[Super Saiyan Second Grade]] state. However, due to the overblown muscle mass, the brute force benefit in this form is offset by a gross decrease in speed, a point which Cell proved by toying with him, constantly dodging his every move, then explaining the flaw and proving he could bulk up just the same. It is later realized that Vegeta could have easily reached this same level of power if he wanted, but decided against it due to knowing full well the form's weakness, something Trunks failed to spot during their training due to his inexperience.

[[File:TrunksFutureVsCellSuperSaiyanNV.png|thumb|Perfect Cell vs. Super Saiyan Third Grade Trunks]]
Trunks is the second Saiyan to take on Perfect Cell with the intention of destroying him. Although Trunks' power was enough to deal significant damage to Cell, Trunks simply kept increasing his power, unaware that his speed was greatly decreasing and his energy consumption greatly augmented to a point where sustaining the state would prove to be a problem. His body became too bulky and slow from the large quantity of muscle and this gave Cell the upper hand, despite not even having powered up and slightly below Trunks in brute strength. Trunks quickly realized that he was too slow and gave up hope right before Cell's eyes. The battle hungry Cell however, was intrigued at how strong Trunks had become in such a short period of time and posed a challenge to the strongest fighters on Earth (The Z Fighters) to train as much as they could over a period of ten days. Then at the end of these ten days all the greatest fighters of Earth will compete in the Cell Games. Trunks then left the battlefield and spread the word about the [[Cell Games]] before taking a position in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, again training for a whole year in one day.

When Trunks emerges from his training his power had seen very little increase compared to last time. Trunks is forced to contend with Cell's [[Cell Jr.|smaller but incredibly powerful clones]] along with the other heroes, slowly and gradually losing the fight. After Cell [[Unforgivable!|self-destructs]] out of fear of [[Super Saiyan 2]] Gohan, a cluster of cells containing the core of his being survives and he uses it to resurrect himself through [[regeneration]], much stronger than he ever had been before. Upon his reappearance, he impales Future Trunks through the chest with a [[Full Power Death Beam]], mortally wounding him (while the [[Funimation dub]] states that this was intentional, the original version implies that he was just firing randomly, as evidenced by the line "Who was it that I hit? Trunks?"). While Gohan is preparing to fight Cell again, Trunks uses up the last of his life energy to vomit up blood, and Yamcha and [[Tien Shinhan]] rush over to aid him, only to realize he had died that moment.

After saying his goodbyes, Trunks returns to his own time to exact revenge on the androids for murdering the Z Fighters. After reuniting with his mother, Bulma, Trunks hears a news update on the location of the androids and he quickly powers up into his powered Super Saiyan form, now greatly augmented by his two years of training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. At [[Parsley City]], the Androids are about to kill another innocent man (in the manga he is killed before Trunks' arrival by being shot in the face by 17), when suddenly Trunks hurtles a very accurate energy attack which narrowly misses 17. The cocky androids foolishly underestimate Trunks and try to rush him. Trunks easily dodges their attacks and punishes them duly, obliterating 18 in a [[Change the Future|point-blank energy blast]]. 17 looks on in disbelief and his feelings soon turn to hatred, but he too is terminated with ease in [[Another End|a single blow, before being blown to dust effortlessly]].

[[File:TrunksFutureVsFutureImperfectCell.png|thumb|Future Trunks confronts Future Cell]]
The completely unscathed Trunks returns home since everything now seems at peace with the Earth, except for one thing: [[Future Cell|Cell]]. Three years pass before the determined [[Bio-Android]] roams around in his weakest form looking for the now non-existent androids and comes across Trunks and Bulma saying their goodbyes near the time machine. Trunks is age 23 at the time. As Trunks is about to leave for the past one final time to inform them of his success, he senses Cell and sends his mother away. He turns towards Cell and begins to taunt him with his knowledge from the alternate past. He informs him that he has killed the androids from the current time. The cocky Cell approaches the half-Saiyan under the false impression that Trunks is still at the level of power when he initially went back in time and warned Goku, even weaker than the future Androids who are in turn inferior to Cell's strength by a long shot. The fight begins and Cell is clearly outclassed as Trunks hurls him outside of the city with a simple energy wave in his base state. Once outside [[West City]], Trunks then transforms into a Super Saiyan and then proceeds to clobber Cell with great ease.

He turns towards Cell and begins to taunt him with his knowledge from the alternate past. He informs him that he has killed the androids from the current time. The cocky Cell approaches the half-Saiyan under the false impression that Trunks is still at the level of power when he initially went back in time and warned Goku, even weaker than the future Androids who are in turn inferior to Cell's strength by a long shot. The fight begins and Cell is clearly outclassed as Trunks hurls him outside of the city with a simple energy wave in his base state. Once outside [[West City]], Trunks then transforms into a Super Saiyan and then proceeds to clobber Cell with great ease.

Several years after killing Future Dabura and Future Babidi, and nine years after the fall of the Future Cell, Now [[Age 796]] an enigmatic man named [[Goku Black|Black]] goes berserk and causes humanity to be on the brink of extinction. Trunks attempts to stop Black, but fails. [[Future Bulma|Bulma]] suggests that they should receive help from [[Goku]] and [[Vegeta]] in the past. Six months later, Bulma gathers enough fuel for a one-way trip to the past for the [[Time Machine]], when all of a sudden, Black gets in their way. Future Trunks shields his mother when Black destroys the lab. Future Trunks is shocked to see that Black has Future Bulma. Future Bulma then tells him to go on without her, and that getting back to the past is the highest priority. Black then fires another ''ki'' blast, destroying the lab and Future Bulma, much to his horror. He then shakes it off and runs to find Future Mai, knowing that getting back to the past is their highest priority.

Trunks goes to search for [[Future Mai|Mai]], and he is concerned at first when he knocks at her door and gets no answer, yet is relieved when he sees her. Mai asks where Bulma is, then is saddened when she realizes her death by the hands of Black, with Trunks crying over his loss. Trunks reignites the hope of going back to the past as he shows Mai the energy that Bulma sacrificed her life to get, further stating they can go back to the past. Trunks and Mai are seen in the room. Mai asks him if he wants to rest, yet he declines. Mai offers him a can of meat yet declines, as they saw a kitten walk by and they feed him. Trunks then offers half of the can of meat to Mai. Though reluctant, Mai eats up her fill. After she finishes eating, Trunks tells her that they only have enough energy to make a one way trip. They then prepare to leave to Capsule Corporation, and they both see the kitten leave, and that puts a smile on their face, and they run to Capsule Corporation.

Future Trunks manages to escape from Black and get the time machine 16 years into the past traveling from Age 796 to [[Age 780]], where his time machine is found by a woman and he is located unconscious inside by [[Trunks|his present counterpart]]. He is then rushed onto a gurney, where Trunks gets to see him, and is shocked by Future Trunks' arrival. He is then with [[Bulma]], [[Vegeta]], [[Goku]], and Trunks, where they see him in his current state, much to their corresponding concern. Trunks eventually wakes up. Upon seeing Goku, Future Trunks begins suffering from PTSD and mistakes Goku for Black. Future Trunks suddenly rushes out of his bed and attempts to attack Goku in anger, much to Goku's confusion. However, Goku halts Future Trunks' attack by grabbing his arm before the attack could land. Future Trunks is snapped out of his trance and learns that Goku was revived long after he returned to future. Future Trunks then meets his Present counterpart who is surprised to meet him before he goes to retrieve his sword, catching sight of present-day Mai in the process.

Bulma later explains the Time Machine to everyone as Future Trunks tells his counterpart they really first met when the latter was a baby. Future Trunks then meets Beerus and Whis learning they come from the world of the gods and that time travel is forbidden enough to permit death as Bulma argues with them. Knowing his mother's attitude means trouble, Trunks begs Whis (who he mistakes as the God) until the latter points out Beerus with Trunks learning he is the God of Destruction. Trunks begs Beerus for forgiveness and he lets it slide after Bulma gives him delicious food.

Future Trunks is later asked why he time traveled as he talks about a new enemy, when asked if it was [[Future Innocent Buu|Majin Buu]], he tells them he prevented the villain's hatching. He soon explains the reason why he attacked Goku as the enemy he is facing looks exactly like him and explains what happened to the Future because of him even revealing that [[Future Bulma]] was killed by the man they have named [[Goku Black]]. Goku, curious to how strong Future Trunks is, asks to have a sparring match with him. Future Trunks accepts and powers up to [[Super Saiyan 2]]. Impressed, Goku also powers up to Super Saiyan 2 and then eventually goes farther to [[Super Saiyan 3]]. Bulma, fearing for the city, erects a barrier around them so they can fight in peace. Fully powered up, Future Trunks, as a Super Saiyan 2 attacks with his sword. The force from the blow shatters the barrier but Goku as a Super Saiyan 3 caught the blade without much effort then proceeded to overpower the young Saiyan. Goku helps Future Trunks to his feet and tells him that he is impressed with his power and is amazed that he was able to get so far on his own. Future Trunks is then greeted by [[Krillin]] and [[Piccolo]], who ask if something happened in the future.

In the anime only, a sudden thunderstorm appears, and Black appears through a portal, which shocks Future Trunks. Future Trunks becomes enraged by Black's appearance in the past and he is ready to fight but is stopped by Vegeta. He watches the fight between Super Saiyan 2 Goku and Black and he wonders why Goku doesn't go all out, and Vegeta explains about Goku's bad habit of not fighting seriously in the beginning. When the fight ends, Black is sucked back into the future, but not before Black destroys the Time Machine. With the Time Machine destroyed, Future Trunks is stranded in the past with no way back to his timeline. He then learns about the [[Time Ring]] from [[Whis]] and [[Beerus]] and asks for one but Beerus tells him that The Time Ring can only be used by the [[Supreme Kai (position)|Supreme Kais]]. Bulma then found a capsule and opens it, revealing the Time Machine that Cell came in from the future. Bulma revealed that before Future Trunks went back to the future after Cell's defeat he gave that capsule to Bulma, and Bulma placed it away and forgot about it over the years.

In the anime only, on the next day, Vegeta takes Future Trunks to the forest to train and Trunks powers up to Super Saiyan 2 and wants Vegeta to go Super Saiyan 3 like Goku did. Vegeta simply laughs and goes [[Super Saiyan Blue]], which confuses Trunks initially, but Trunks is quickly able to figure out that the Super Saiyan Blue form has godly energy and also figures out Goku uses this form as well and believes that Black can easily be stopped if Goku and Vegeta fight him together. Vegeta begins to mock Trunks and makes a bet with Trunks: if Trunks could land a hit on him, Vegeta would forfeit and award the victory to Trunks. Trunks responds by transforming into Super Saiyan Third Grade while Super Saiyan 2 for a massive power boost which Vegeta mocks and calls a primitive transformation and charges Trunks rapidly moving around him trying to confuse him.

However, Future Trunks is able to follow his father and at the last moment power back down to Super Saiyan 2 and counterattacks and begins to actually push back Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta with Vegeta realizing Future Trunks lured him in with the form. Vegeta is quickly able to regain the upper hand and begins to attack, with Trunks able to hold his own for a time but is eventually kicked through the forest and into a cliff as Goku and Bulma arrive via Instant Transmission. Future Trunks appears to have been beaten and power back down to base form, with Vegeta lifts Future Trunks by his shirt and begins mocking Future Trunks more and telling him that his goal should be to become the strongest in the universe and not just beat Black. Bulma attempts to move in to stop Vegeta but Goku stops her and says it's not over yet. Vegeta lowers his guard thinking he has won but Future Trunks springs to life and reveals he isn't hurt at all and headbutts Vegeta to the ground. Future Trunks begins to laugh at Vegeta and proclaim his victory over him and offers to help him up but Vegeta refuses and storms off. Future Trunks bows to his father and vows once again to not only defeat Black but to surpass him.

These events do not happen in the manga - and as such Black never destroyed Trunks' time machine like he did in the anime. The Z Fighters still have to wait for Future Trunks' time machine to be re-fueled and during this time they play a racing video game, with Future Trunks coming in second. Future Trunks then goes to train with Vegeta in a gravity chamber.

Upon arriving Future Trunks finds Future Mai's hat and Goku is shot at by the resistance thinking that Goku is Black. Future Trunks tells them that Goku is not Black, and they inform him of Future Mai's survival, and they meet the rest of the other resistance and refugees that survived Black's assault (including Future Yajirobe). The trio and Mai then head outside, and the three depart in search of Black.

Future Trunks is also shocked to see [[Future Zamasu]] and wonders who Goku Black is if the two are not the same person after all. As the two fight with Super Saiyan Blue Goku, Future Trunks joins in the fight, but the two are eventually defeated, after it is revealed Future Zamasu is immortal. The three Saiyans are saved by Future Mai and Earth's Resistance, and despite Future Trunks' protests, Future Mai sends the three back to the past in the time machine. By the time they arrive, they fall out beaten and unconscious.

Back in the present, Future Trunks and the others lament on Zamasu's immortality as well as Black's Super Saiyan Rosé form, and listens on to Whis' theory on the matter. Outside on a swing, Future Trunks felt hopeless and depressed about any chances of saving his timeline, until his younger version tried to snap him out of it by sparring (the match was completely off-screen). Future Trunks did appreciate Kid Trunks' attempt to get him to persevere. Goku, Beerus, and Whis return to inform everyone of Zamasu's demise. Future Trunks wasn't entirely convinced and suggests going back to the future to confirm Beerus' theory. Future Trunks tells Kid Trunks that despite them being the same person, they had different lives, he tells the latter about the deaths of Goku, Vegeta, and the others, as well as the Android threat. He also reveals that he is from an alternate timeline (and not the actual future).

Future Trunks learns that Future Mai got injured trying to hold back Black, he immediately rushes over and chews a Senzu Bean to heal her (in a CPR fashion), he leaves with Goku and Vegeta to confront Black and Future Zamasu, he and the others were shocked when learning that Black wasn't created by the Super Dragon Balls, but was another Zamasu that stole Goku's body. Goku tries to attack on his own but was pinned against a wall by Future Zamasu, and is impaled clean through the lower abdomen by Black who used Zamasu's immortal body to hide his attack. Black begins to mock Goku about how after he took his body he killed Goten and Chi Chi. Enraged, the heavily injured Goku breaks free and attacks and overwhelms Black and Future Zamasu for a period but is eventually defeated by Black and is unable to even move. Future Trunks and Vegeta enter the fight with Future Trunks wanting to take on Black. Black and Future Zamasu tell Future Trunks that he is one of the reasons they want to eradicate all mortals due to using the time machine and without him Black openly admits he would have never even sought out Goku's body, calling Future Trunks a sinner. Enraged at their statements, Future Trunks charges at Black, but is quickly knocked out of his Super Saiyan 2 form and falls to the ground. Consumed by his anger, Future Trunks stand back up and takes on [[Super Saiyan Rage|a completely new form never seen before]], shocking everyone. As he slowly walks towards Black with an enraged expression, Future Trunks loudly exclaims that he will kill Black.

Future Trunks proceeds to battle Black and Future Zamasu, fueled by a blind rage, but they use their teamwork to overwhelm him. However his rage eventually subsides and in his new state, Future Trunks is able to combat both Black and Future Zamasu at the same time. Eventually, Future Trunks lands on the ground and asks Vegeta and the others to escape using the time machine then find a way to defeat Black and Zamasu, while he provides cover fire. Vegeta carries Goku and gives Mai the Senzu beans, while Bulma starts the time machine. Future Trunks manages to prevent Black from destroying the time machine as it disappears, then proceeds to fight against them. Despite his best efforts, Future Trunks is eventually knocked out, but was saved by Mai. After waking up and eating a Senzu bean provided by Future Yajirobe, Future Trunks rescues Future Mai from a combined blast attack from Black and Future Zamasu after she attempts to assassinate Black. Future Trunks quickly devises a plan to separate the immortal Future Zamasu from Black and succeeds, leaving Black to fight Future Trunks in a sword duel. Black mocks Future Trunks' sword as a pathetic tool as he seemingly overwhelms him, but Future Trunks distracts him by throwing his sword before delivering three powerful gut punches followed by a full power Galick Gun. The beam sends Black flying through the forest, through his own hideout and straight into a mountain, where he appears be unconscious.

As Future Trunks attempts to regroup, Future Zamasu returns to try and kill Future Trunks. Realizing he only has one last attack in him, Future Trunks pretends to lower his guard before catching Future Zamasu in a lock. He decides that there must be a limit to Future Zamasu's regeneration, and attempts to blow him up in what appears to be a self-destruct attack, however he is stabbed through the back by Black who had recovered from their last encounter. Before a killing blow can be dealt, Goku and Vegeta return from the past and draw Black and Future Zamasu's attention, allowing Future Mai to save Trunks. After recovering, Future Trunks takes Future Mai to Bulma who orders Future Trunks to fix the Evil Containment Wave jar with super glue, reminding Future Trunks that he is good at puzzles.

He and Future Mai headed out shortly after and witnessed Zamasu lifting Bulma by her coat (the same way Black held Future Bulma). Future Trunks powers up and uses it on him, which seemed successful (that is until realizing that Goku forgot the amulet seal). Zamasu had broken free. Trunks and the others watched on as Black and Future Zamasu fused using the Potara earrings.

Realizing the desire to protect his world and its people, Future Trunks mustered up a lot of his energy to fire a Galick Gun, causing the fused entity to respond with a ki blast of his own. Future Trunks was slowly losing the beam clash, until Vegeta steps in (and fired a Galick Gun of his own), and the two managed to overpower the evil Shinjin/Saiyan hybrid. They both collapsed, proud of their seeming victory, but their defiance had only served to enrage Fused Zamasu. After Vegeta took a direct hit from the fused god's Lightning of Judgement, Future Trunks watched as Goku fired a strong Kamehameha wave at the enemy.

While watching the battle between Vegito Blue and Fused Zamasu, Future Trunks hears from Gowasu that the fusion of Goku Black and Future Zamasu is unstable; while the body may be immortal, the soul is not, so the Fusion is starting to destroy itself due to the conflict in body and soul. Bulma and Future Mai return with the time machine and what was left of Future Trunks's sword; staring at the blade, Future Trunks begins to hear everyone cheering for him and telling him not to give up. Inspired and with his will to fight returned, Future Trunks channels his ki through his broken blade, generating a long golden blade of energy. Thus rearmed, Future Trunks enters the fight to save the just-unfused Goku and Vegeta from death, engaging Fused Zamasu on his own a humanity's final hope.

During the fight, Fused Zamasu mocks Future Trunks and his "mortal weakness", asking him where he will go for help now, the past of the future. Future Trunks tells him he is not ashamed of his "mortal weakness" and he just wants to save everyone. Future Trunks's allies fervently pray for his victory, causing him to unconsciously channel the energy of everyone who is still alive into a large ball of light. Upon noticing the massive orb and realizing what it is, Future Trunks flies into it and absorbs the energy, transforming his blade into a giant greatsword made of the light energy and making him equal to Fused Zamasu. As he calls for everyone to give him their energy, Goku and Vegeta wake up and give their remaining power to Trunks. Now fully engulfed in an aura of light energy, Future Trunks shatters Fused Zamasu's own ki blade before stabbing the formerly immortal god. Defying the mad god's final claim of superiority, Future Trunks uses his empowered blade to slice Fused Zamasu clean in half, destroying his body and ending the crusade of the fallen god once and for all.

While everyone congratulated Future Trunks for defeating the crazed entity, Zamasu however was shown to have survived and [[Infinite Zamasu|eschews his physical body to become one with the universe]]. Future Trunks, Goku, and Vegeta rushed to stop him, but to no avail, and the mad Kaioshin unleashes an onslaught of energy beams from the sky to kill all the remaining Earthlings, with only Future Trunks, Goku, Vegeta, Bulma, Future Mai, Shin, and Gowasu left. Future Trunks and the others watched as Goku used the button to summon [[Future Zeno]], as Gowasu and Shin bowed down, while Future Trunks questioned who he was and is surprised to hear from Bulma he is the most eminent god in the universe.

When Goku suggested that Future Zeno [[erase]] Zamasu, the latter states he will and decides to destroy the entire future world as well. Hearing this, Goku quickly alerted everyone to run and activate the time machine. The group barely escaped through the time machine as Zeno begins to erase Zamasu along with the future multiverse. Future Trunks and the others arrived back to the present, and tells everyone that his world is no more, he and Goku used the time machine to search for Future Zeno and brought him to the present timeline. Whis and Beerus soon arrived and the former tells Future Trunks that he will go forward in time to warn [[Future Beerus]] to destroy Future Zamasu thereby thwarting his ambitions, stating that it will also add another Future Trunks and Future Mai in that timeline. The two future survivors agreed, and prepared to head into the new future timeline where everyone is still alive. Bulma teased the two saying that her future self will soon become a grandmother (much to their embarrassment).

Future Trunks went over with Krillin, [[Oolong]], and [[Master Roshi]] to a swimsuit runway, although he ended up regretting the decision when they had to wait until the building opened with Krillin, Oolong, and Master Roshi attempting to sneak a peek in the dressing rooms. He and his group later rendezvoused with Goku, Gohan, and [[Chi-Chi]] at the tower restaurant, and explained that they discovered that they mixed up the dates, that the swimsuit runway was not until a few weeks from that day. However, Future Trunks and the various Z Fighters evacuated the people at the restaurant after [[Android 14]] and [[Android 15]] bombed the area from underneath in order to assassinate Goku. Future Trunks later followed Goku to an [[Glacier|Arctic area]] in order to defend Goku from the Androids, with him growing concerned when Goku is getting exhausted from the fight. However, the fight is briefly interrupted when [[Android 13]] arrives, to which after an exchange of words, he fights against Android 14 and Android 15, whereas Android 13 fights Goku. He is having a difficult time fighting them two against one and, when he tries to cut down Android 15, is knocked away by Android 14. Eventually, Vegeta joins the fray and fights Android 15, with Future Trunks focusing on Android 14. Going Super Saiyan, he manages to slice Android 14 horizontally in half, although it has a delayed effect. He later attempts to save Vegeta when the latter is about to be [[Abyss Impact|slammed down into the ground]] by Super Android 13, only to be blasted away. He then attempts a last ditch effort to cut down Super Android 13 as well as distract him while Goku powers the [[Spirit Bomb]], but 13 managed to shatter his sword and knock him out. After Super Android 13 is destroyed for good, Future Trunks is then hospitalized with other Z Fighters.

Directory: CharactersEarthlings with Saiyan bloodDragon TeamAlternate Timeline

"Hurts, doesn't it? Being completely outmatched, no way out. Imagine how all the innocent people you've hunted for years have felt. Always hiding. Always on edge. Fearing tomorrow. Imagine how it was for Krillin, for Piccolo, for Yamcha, Tien, imagine how it was for Gohan. You killed them all without a second thought. You've made life a living hell for everyone because no one could stand up to you. You've been in power too long. Well, your time ran out today. Now you're in the fire, so you'd better enjoy it! "
— Future Trunks to the Androids in "Free the Future"


Future Trunks (らいのトランクス Mirai no Torankusu) is the Saiyan and Earthling hybrid son of Future Vegeta and Future Bulma from an alternate future. By the time Present Trunks was born, the timeline had been altered by Future Trunks' and Cell's trips to the past. Therefore, the two Trunks had completely different lives (as opposed to those who lived before the Time Machines arrived, they lived exactly the same lives as their counterparts until the point at which the two timelines diverge: three years before the androids arrived).

Well-mannered, serious and very cautious, Trunks hails from an alternate timeline in which Future Androids 17 and 18 murdered the Dragon Team and proceeded to create apocalyptic hell on Earth.[7] Trunks is trained by Future Gohan as a teenager and becomes a gifted fighter, swordsman and a Super Saiyan; traits that aid him greatly in the battle against the Androids after traveling back in time in order to save his own future.[8]

Years later, Future Trunks would return in Dragon Ball Super, this time fighting against a mysterious entity referred to as Goku Black (and later his partner-in-crime Future Zamasu) wreaking havoc in the future. In the end, Trunks (with the help of Goku and Vegeta) neutralizes the threat, though unfortunately, Fused Zamasu not only survives the ordeal, but his essence began to merge with the universe itself, to the point that Future Zeno had to erase the future timeline completely. Trunks himself is one of the three survivors and is currently living in another future timeline where another Future Trunks exists - created in the anime by Whis warning Future Beerus ahead of time to eliminate the soon-to-be rogue Supreme Kai, while in the manga Trunks and Mai travel to their timeline's past and prevent Future Shin's death with the blessing of Beerus as it will save his counterpart, thus eliminating the possibility of the Project Zero Mortals.

Appearance

Trunks is a slim yet well-built young man of below average height and light skin-color; his facial features and skin-tone are inherited from his father. He has blue eyes, and hair colored either lavender, purple or blue depending on the media, that is soft and straight that parts from the top of his head to frame both sides of his face reaching his ears with two loose strands over his forehead; traits he inherited from his mother. In his childhood, his hair parted at his right temple with strands hanging out and the top of his head sweeping to the left. As a teenager-on, his hairline parted at the center of his head.

In his childhood, he wore a white shirt with blue long sleeves and the Capsule Corporation title on the chest along with grey sweatpants and blue boots. When during his first adventure in the present timeline, he is usually seen wearing an indigo jacket reaching his abdomen with the Capsule Corporation logo on the left sleeve, a black tank-top, dark gray pants with a white belt, and golden boots, and computerized watch. His most noticeably accessory is his broadsword hanging on his back and hanging over his right shoulder in a red sheath with a blue strap. Later for his battle against Cell, he wears clothing identical to his father's: a blue skin-tight jumpsuit with a Saiyan Battle Armor, white boots with yellow tips, and white gloves. Following his training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, he grows noticeably taller and muscular, though still somewhat shorter and thinner than Goku. He also sports longer hair reaching past his shoulders, which is later cut back to its normal length.

In Bojack Unbound, Trunks retains his primary attire in the Androids Saga but his indigo jacket has been replaced with an identical vest, and also retains his long hair.

Trunks in Dragon Ball Xenoverse

In Dragon Ball Online, the Xenoverse series, Trunks dons clothing inspired by various military uniforms from World War I and II. Trunks wears a World War-esque black trench coat with a fur-lined collar and an olive green sweater underneath, olive green pants with lighter-colored bandages around his shins and brown colored laced boots which. Additionally, Trunks also carries a new sword, while wearing these clothes. Trunks: Xeno retains his original lavender hair color.

Future Trunks art super

Future Trunks in Dragon Ball Super

In Dragon Ball Super, Trunks' clothes change somewhat from the outfit he initially wore; he wears a periwinkle-colored jacket that reaches his waist with the Capsule Corporation logo on the left sleeve, with a long red scarf around his neck, dark gray pants, and pale-green boots with black tips. Underneath his jacket, Trunks wears an olive green shirt with patches on the shoulders and forearms, reminiscent of British military standard issue jumpers. Noticeably, his hair and eyebrow color is blue in all Super media, just like his mother.

In the Prison Planet Saga, Future Trunks (post-"Future" Trunks Saga) wears a black vest with a Capsule Corp logo on the shoulder, he maintains his red scarf though wears it differently. After being imprisoned he wears a green prison uniform.

Personality

Trunks, having never met his father, nor grown up under his influence, combined with the fact that he grew up in an apocalyptic world, is very cautious, broody, and serious (such as when he begged Vegeta not to challenge the Androids without Goku being present[9] or when he did not want Vegeta to trust Paragus),[10] unlike his main timeline counterpart, who had a personality very similar to his father's.[11] Due to living in such harsh times and trying to find any means necessary to destroy the androids, Trunks lacks the arrogance and pride of Saiyans like Goku and Vegeta and uses methods unbecoming of a traditional Saiyan warrior. Examples include suggesting that Goku eat a Senzu Bean during his fight against Perfect Cell, attempting to destroy present Androids 17 and 18 before they could be activated, tries to attack Cell while transforming and immediately destroy his oppositions without wasting any time. This contrasts his present day counterpart, who arrogantly stated he intended to fight Goten with one hand on one occasion. Future Trunks clearly fears the Androids, panicking at the introduction of Android 16. He also appears to be afflicted with a degree of post-traumatic stress as a result of the struggles he faced in his apocalyptic nightmarish world.[12] Nevertheless, Future Trunks is depicted as incredibly respectful to everyone, especially his mother Future Bulma and his master Future Gohan. When he finally meets Vegeta in the past, Future Trunks is seen to be constantly trying to impress him. This is often mixed with disgust and horror towards his father's uncaring attitude towards those around him, especially when Vegeta refused to save Bulma and baby Trunks when Dr. Gero blows up their capsule airplane, forcing Future Trunks to save his present counterpart and mother.

FutureTrunksFreeTheFuture

Future Trunks before he kills the Androids in his timeline

Because he comes from the future and believes he knows what is going to happen, Future Trunks is usually shown thinking that only some things will matter and others probably would not (although he is usually right in the long term). This is shown in, at first, his resistance to do anything unless Goku is present. Other things, such as his surprise that Piccolo's fusion would make a difference, also show this. As such, he is usually surprised at events (on a different layer than the fact that history was different from his recollection). He is even (though very rarely) shown to be cocky, such as when he became a Super Saiyan Third Grade, but when he loses his seeming "advantage" this cockiness dissolves instantly. Molded from his dark timeline, he is very serious and is a determined fighter like his father.

Unlike his father or alternate timeline self, Future Trunks is often shown to be very polite and well-mannered. This is clearly shown in the original version through his speech, as he is often heard using the polite form of Japanese phrases when addressing his allies. However, Future Trunks does have some qualities typical of Saiyans, especially before he went into the past. Before jumping into the past, Future Trunks had little interest in his mother's invention, believing it to be unnecessary and not entirely believing that Goku was the caliber of warrior that was needed to defeat the Androids, but after he got thrashed good and hard by the Androids from his timeline after becoming a Super Saiyan, he finally decided that he was ready to give her idea a try. In the manga, however, he does at one point flip the bird at Imperfect Cell.[13]

After Black appeared on Earth, brought humanity to the brink of extinction, killed his mother, and almost Future Mai, Trunks' post-traumatic stress began to resurface, when he mistook Goku for Black, and attacked him without thinking, and only stopped after noticing Bulma, realizing he had arrived in the past, and when he was flying to Gohan's house, Trunks began to have visions of his destroyed future instead of the peaceful present timeline. Despite achieving his goal of returning to the past, and seeing all of his friends alive and well, Trunks still could not let go of the traumatic events he had been through, and always had a saddened and uncomfortable look on his face. Only when he met Gohan and his family, Trunks was finally able to lighten up and start enjoying himself in the past.

Another trait of Trunks' personality that was hinted in Dragon Ball Super, was that Future Trunks only desired to become stronger in order to defeat the current threat that appeared before him (the Androids, Future Majin Buu, and Black), and defeating those threats were his only goals. Vegeta told Trunks that he should not just train simply when a new enemy appeared, and his goal in life should be training every day to become stronger, because he would never know when an enemy stronger than the one before could appear, and should always be ready for them, despite being in times of peace. This caused Trunks to finally realize the reason behind Vegeta's desire for excessive training, and also made Trunks promise his father to not only defeat Black, but grow stronger than he ever did before to protect the future. After being defeated by Future Zamasu and Black (even with Goku and Vegeta's assistance), and realizing the rogue Supreme Kai's immortality and the dark entity's ever growing power, Future Trunks felt utterly hopeless on being able to save everyone in his time, but eventually got over it thanks to his Present counterpart.

However even though Future Trunks is very different from his main timeline counterpart he shares one trait with him and that is his ability to create and execute complex battle strategies and attack at appropriate times during battle while battling stronger opponents to gain the advantage and this trait Future Trunks displays on a large number of occasions throughout his appearances in Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Super this trait he may have inherited from his father. Trunks first displays this in Dragon Ball Super on his second encounter with Black shooting a Masenko at him to distract Black so Trunks could flee to the past. Another example is when Trunks turns into Super Saiyan Third Grade to cause Vegeta to drop his guard and attack and when Vegeta gets close he powers up to Super Saiyan 2 and was able fight evenly with him for a time while Vegeta was taken aback by the change. This ability once again comes into use during the Saiyan trio's battle against Black and Future Zamasu, with Trunks able to perfectly pick his spots to intervene and deal damage to both Black and Zamasu or isolate them from one another so Trunks can have a one on one fight. During battle Future Trunks is quite easily able to see through and adapt and change tactics, something no other Saiyan displays, even Gohan. This trait shined the most when Trunks stayed behind to fight both Black and Zamasu at the same time, effectively able to learn and adapt to how Zamasu was protecting Black to actually get damage onto Black and was even able to knock Black out cold at one point.

At the end of the Future Trunks Saga, as Future Trunks and Future Mai were about to disappear in the Time Machine, both Gohan and Piccolo appeared to bid farewell, Trunks looks at the former and was saddened that he couldn't save anyone in his timeline. Trunks began to cheer up after Gohan tells him to take care (remembering his old master: Future Gohan), and happily looks forward to protecting everyone in the new timeline.

Future Trunks' favorite food is convenience store bento[4] and he enjoys tinkering with machines.[4]

Relationship to Future Mai

Chronologically the two met as young kids after the Pilaf gang wished for youth to Shenron just seconds before Future Piccolo's death. Both Future Trunks and Future Mai momentarily looked at one-another before the latter departed. Sometime prior to the "Future" Trunks Saga, Trunks and Mai met and became allies that stood in defiance to Goku Black.

Trunks is quite close to Mai and has saved her life on a number of occasions (and vice-versa). When he thought that Goku Black had killed her, Trunks became so enraged that he immediately attacks the dark entity. After returning to his time, Trunks was tearfully relieved when he found out that she was still alive. After returning to the future the second time and learning that Mai had gotten severely injured from fighting off Black, he takes action and heals her with a senzu bean in a kissing fashion. After the deaths of the remaining Earthlings from Infinite Zamasu's assault, Trunks consoles the grief-stricken Mai.

Humorously, whenever other characters mention the possibility of them being in a relationship, both Trunks and Mai deny it while blushing at the same time.

Differences from Present Trunks

Due to living in such a bleak and dangerous future, Future Trunks is very different than his present time counterpart. Due to a hostile and lonely life with nearly everyone dead, Trunks' best and only friend is Future Gohan. They also have quite a bit of personality differences; while Present Trunks is cocky and arrogant like his father, Future Trunks is not, taking more after his mother Bulma. Another large difference is that Future Trunks is able to see through enemy tactics and adapt strategies while in a fight, something his present counterpart while able to do so if he applies himself is far from efficient at. His present counterpart often prefers to charge in head first to fights while Future Trunks prefers to think before acting.

Fangirl momment

It was unknown how Future Trunks would react to meeting Trunks (until Dragon Ball Super), however this occurs in the video games Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2, Dragon Ball Z: Legendary Super Warriors, Dragon Ball: Raging Blast, and Dragon Ball Xenoverse. In both Budokai 3 and Shin Budokai, young Trunks states that it is "Just like having a brother", whereas in Legendary Super Warriors and Tenkaichi 2, he does not even realize it is his future self and the two have a sparring match. In Raging Blast, Future Trunks is disappointed that Trunks has become spoiled and arrogant in times of peace. However, he retracts his disdain for the boy after being surprised by the young Saiyan's strength after they battle, most notably at his ability to transform into a Super Saiyan at such a young age. They did meet in the manga and anime, however, when Trunks was still just a baby; once when Future Trunks rescued him and Bulma from Dr. Gero's attack, and once when Future Trunks came to Capsule Corporation before the Cell Games announcement. For a minute, Trunks incessantly pulled on Future Trunks' hair.

In Dragon Ball Xenoverse, during the 1st half of the GT Saga, Future Trunks, while watching events unfold from the Time Nest, is horrified by the Future Warrior having to face his Tuffle parasite Infected counterpart. He also shows disgust towards the Infected Trunks' underhanded tactics such as pretending to have returned to normal to fool Pan and the Future Warrior, though Future Trunks is able to see through his infected counterpart's lie and warns the Warrior foiling his infected counterpart's plan. However, during the games' Super 17 Saga, Trunks gains Future Trunks' respect after he witnesses his counterpart's willingness to confront the Neo Ginyu Force in place of his father and even cheers on his counterpart. Future Trunks and Trunks (Kid & GT) never actually interact during the game's story, though they have special dialog between them should they encounter each other in battle or in Parallel Quests. If Future Trunks and GT Trunks fight, GT Trunks is confused by the appearance of his alternate future self causing Future Trunks to reveal he is a Trunks from a different future.

However, in Super, both Future Trunks and Present Trunks meet and greet each other when Bulma explains the former's situation. When Future Trunks engaged in a sparring match with Goku, present Trunks cheered for him, also impressed by his power. After Goku Black destroyed the Time Machine Future Trunks was now trapped in the past. Present Trunks tries to make Future Trunks feel better until Bulma found a way back to the future she gets the time machine Cell came in from the Future hoping with everyone hoping it will work. Present Day Trunks slowly began to get jealous of his Future counterpart because Mai was starting to fall for Future Trunks. Present Trunks then starts to win Mai over by acting like his Future counterpart but fails. Eventually when Future Trunks explains his world to Present Trunks, Present Trunks begins to show great care and concern for his older counterpart, loving him as if he was his older brother.

"Why Gohan? Why'd you go at it alone. You should've let me help you! Damn you! You didn't have to do it alone! I can't do it without you! You were the only friend I ever had. Look...look what they did to you! It's not fair! DAMMIT, IT'S NOT FAIR! I WASN'T READY TO LOSE YOU! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO LEAVE ME! GOHAAAAAAAAAAN!!!"
— Trunks discovers Gohan has been murdered and finally becomes a Super Saiyan.

Trunks was born in Age 766 and is from an alternate timeline, one in which the Earth had been continuously terrorized by the evil Android 17 and Android 18. By the time we are introduced to the pair of Androids, over three fourths of the world's population has been eliminated due to their spree of destruction. In this future, Gohan and Trunks are weaker versions of themselves without the training of the experienced Dragon Team later on.

In this timeline, Goku dies of a heart virus six months before the Androids arrive, leaving the Z Fighters without one of their greatest heroes. His father Vegeta and all of the other Z Fighters (except Future Gohan) are killed, with the Androids easily outclassing them in power since they were both built to be more powerful than Goku. The Z Fighters are unable to be wished back to life as the Dragon Balls are permanently useless, due to Piccolo's death, which also kills Kami. Over the course of the next thirteen years, Gohan becomes Future Trunks' mentor and trains him in everything he knows, also teaching him swordsmanship.[14] Gohan tries his best to teach Trunks how to become a Super Saiyan as well, necessary for him to compete against the Androids' might. However, with everyone already dead and having not yet felt a certain level of sadness and sorrow, Trunks simply cannot find the motivation to transform (in the manga, Trunks had already achieved the Super Saiyan form at this time).

Trunks-History-of-Trunks-004

Future Trunks finds the corpse of his mentor, Gohan

Trunks is at age 14 at the time. In an amusement park named Super World, Gohan and Trunks face the Androids in battle where Trunks, in his inexperience, is cornered by Android 18. Gohan is forced to sacrifice himself to save Future Trunks, losing his arm in the process which only further demoralizes Trunks and causes his confidence to fall. Trunks tries repeatedly to attain Super Saiyan during training but still struggles with it, unlike his alternate-timeline self who attains it at a much younger age and with relative ease.

Later in Age 780, the pair are drawn into battle against the Androids again, so Gohan knocks Trunks unconscious knowing that if he faces them again he will be killed. Gohan holds his own against the Androids at Pepper Town, being stronger than each individually (only in the anime; Gohan initially lost against Android 17 who was using less than half his full strength, and even after the years of training with Trunks, he is effortlessly defeated by the foe and killed before Trunks awakens) but unable to compete with both of them and their infinite energy reserves. Gohan is defeated and killed, leaving Trunks to find his body lying in the rain. Overcome with anger and grief, Trunks finally transforms into a Super Saiyan (as said above, in the manga, he was able to transform already, but due to his inexperience was unable to even keep up with an arm-less Gohan in his normal state, until his training for the next three years) and spends the next few years training to avenge his fallen allies, but despite all this, he struggles to defeat the Androids.

"You monsters! All those people! And all those children! I won't let you do this anymore!"
— Trunks enraged as he learns the Androids are just killing people for amusement.

After another close escape at Bridgetown in Age 783, Future Bulma reveals her Time Machine to her son, which she hopes he will use to return to the past and save Goku, hopefully altering the future. In this future, Trunks did not know his father Vegeta at all, as he was only an infant at the time he was murdered by the Androids.

"These androids are ruthless, they delight in causing pain and chaos. Living on Earth in my time is like living in a nightmare... always running and hiding, looking for a way out."

Future Trunks easily deflects an attack from a soldier in King Cold's army

In Age 784, Trunks travels back in time 20 years, in order to warn Goku about the android threat in the near future, as well as to deliver medication that will cure Goku of the heart virus that he is supposed to die from. However, upon arrival he is greeted by Frieza with his father King Cold, and he kills all the soldiers Frieza and his father had brought to Earth. They had come to Earth in order to seek revenge upon Goku's loved ones, and to kill Goku himself. Trunks, then seventeen years old, did not look like much of a threat to Frieza, and he freely told him so. Trunks implies his ability to transform into a Super Saiyan, but Frieza, albeit initially shocked, laughs it off along with his father. Trunks, anticipating that Frieza does not believe him, proves it by transforming, to Frieza's horror. Frieza was then given three opportunities to kill Future Trunks, but the young Super Saiyan is able to block and dodge the attacks with ease.

Frustrated, Frieza fires a Supernova at Trunks. Trunks just catches the attack and tells Frieza that he must have "dropped it," after which Frieza detonates the blast with an Energy Wave (only in the anime, while in the manga Frieza never tried a planet-busting ki attack, and fired this blast immediately instead). Future Trunks then easily remains unscathed and performs what he calls the Burning Attack to have Frieza dodge the blast, which is followed up by his Shining Sword Attack.

TrunksFutureVsKingColdWBG

Future Trunks stops King Cold's attack

Frieza, cut in half, was defeated by having his body hacked to pieces and Future Trunks then followed up with an energy blast, and was soon followed by his arrogant father King Cold, who was killed by a God Breaker. Trunks then guides the Dragon Team congregated nearby to the place where Goku is going to land, and they all for Goku to arrive. He offers the Z Fighters a drink from his capsule cooler. During their wait, Trunks keeps staring at Vegeta (due to it being the first time he actually met his father since he died during the Android attack in his timeline while he was still a baby), causing the latter to demand to know why he is staring at him. In addition, Bulma notes Trunks' resemblance to Vegeta in facial features and Tien speculates that he must have met Goku during the latter's trip in outer space, although the theory is shot down when Chiaotzu reminds them that Trunks said he never actually met Goku before. After two hours, upon looking at his watch, Trunks informs the Z Fighters that Goku's ship is about to land.

When Goku arrives, Trunks finds out to his chagrin that he interfered with the timeline unnecessarily; although he was several hours away by space pod, Goku was prepared to step in using his Instant Transmission technique (just as he did in Trunks' original timeline) when Trunks showed up and killed Frieza. Trunks then informs Goku of the future where the Androids arrive and kill all of the Z Fighters in a large battle, also telling Goku not to inform anyone about his parents. However, Piccolo's sensitive Namekian ears pick up the conversation, and while he doesn't reveal any information about Trunks, Piccolo tells the Z Fighters of the future, inspiring the heroes to train their hardest for the next three years. However inadvertently, Trunks' revelation of the future alters it slightly.

"I agreed with my mother that I should travel back in time, but I had my own reasons for wanting to go. I had hoped that in the past, with Goku's help, I would find the androids had some weakness. That way I could go back to the future. And even though I still wouldn't be able to bring back all those already gone, I might be able to save the people who are left."

TrunksFutureBackToThePast02

Future Trunks finds Android 19's head

When the androids eventually appear and they face the Z Fighters, Goku had not contracted the heart disease six months prior like he was supposed to; instead he contracted it during the battle against Android 19. Before Goku could be killed, Vegeta saves him, telling Yamcha to take him home and cure him with his medication, and reveals his new Super Saiyan form, killing Android 19 with great ease when he uses his signature Big Bang Attack to reduce him to a smoldering head. Trunks returns to the past to find Android 19's detached head on the Southern Continent and Android 20, two androids he never saw in his timeline and realizes that this timeline is now branching off considerably from his own. When Android 20 (who is, Dr. Gero in reality) releases the real androids of his future, Android 17 and Android 18, they rebel and kill their creator before releasing the previously unknown Android 16.

TrunksFutureVsAndroid18

Future Trunks attacking Android 18

The androids of this timeline prove to be considerably stronger than the ones Trunks had fought, to the point where Android 18 is able to even easily take down Super Saiyan Vegeta and Super Saiyan Trunks together. Vegeta fights Android 18 and eventually loses. Trunks rushes to his father's aid, in an attempt to slash her with his sword; however, she blocks the attack (causing the sword to crack, much to his astonishment), and he was struck down by Android 17 seconds later. Moments later, he had recovered and attempts another attack; however, Android 18 caught on to this and throws Vegeta at him. Trunks was then defeated, while returning to his base form. Afterwards, he and Krillin went to Goku's house to evacuate him from the premises, and boards Yamcha's airship.

Eventually, Cell from another alternate timeline is revealed and hatches from his larval state, and he sets about absorbing the androids of the current timeline. After learning from Piccolo how Cell was created and the location at what was Dr. Gero's Lab where Cell was being created, Trunks set out alongside Krillin to destroy the main timeline's incarnation of Cell and the underground lab. During this event, Trunks uncovers blueprints of Android 17, eventually leading to the discovery of the Android's weakness: a Shut Down Remote. Because the androids and Cell are superior in strength to any of the fighters, the heroes go to train again, this time in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

When Vegeta and Trunks train in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber together, Trunks believes he surpasses Vegeta in power (though he fails to see the real reason why Vegeta stops increasing his maximum power at the time) by ascending further to the Super Saiyan Third Grade state. However, throughout the year that was spent in the Time Chamber, Trunks realized Vegeta's real sense of Saiyan pride and thought it was best to hide his true power level out of fear of upsetting his father, unaware of the fact or reason Vegeta purposely did not ascend.

Trunks had managed to reach what is known as the Super Saiyan Third Grade state, where the Saiyan is still a Super Saiyan, but has greatly augmented their physical strength from even the Super Saiyan Second Grade state. However, due to the overblown muscle mass, the brute force benefit in this form is offset by a gross decrease in speed and stamina, a point which Cell proved by toying with him, constantly dodging his every move, then explaining the flaw and proving he could bulk up just the same. It is later realized that Vegeta could have easily reached this same level of power if he wanted, but decided against it due to knowing full well the form's weakness, something Trunks failed to spot during their training due to his inexperience.

"You androids make me sick the way you act like this is all just some twisted game. What you androids did to my world was all too real. And I promise that will not be repeated here!"
— Future Trunks towards Cell, "The Strongest Super Saiyan! Trunks' Power Unleashed!"

TrunksFutureVsCellSuperSaiyanNV

Perfect Cell vs. Super Saiyan Third Grade Trunks

Trunks is the second Saiyan to take on Perfect Cell with the intention of destroying him. Although Trunks' power was enough to deal significant damage to Cell, Trunks simply kept increasing his power, unaware that his speed was greatly decreasing and his energy consumption greatly augmented to a point where sustaining the state would prove to be a problem. His body became too bulky and slow from the large quantity of muscle, and this gave Cell the upper hand, despite not even having powered up and slightly below Trunks in brute strength. Trunks quickly realized that he was too slow and gave up hope right before Cell's eyes. The battle-hungry Cell, however, was intrigued at how strong Trunks had become in such a short period of time and posed a challenge to the strongest fighters on Earth (The Z Fighters) to train as much as they could over a period of ten days. Then at the end of these ten days all the greatest fighters of Earth will compete in the Cell Games. Trunks then left the battlefield and spread the word about the Cell Games before taking a position in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, again training for a whole year in one day.

FutureTrunksKilledbyCell

Super Perfect Cell kills Future Trunks upon his return

When Trunks emerges from his training, his power has seen very little increase compared to last time, as the intense environment of the Time Chamber give diminishing returns. Trunks is forced to contend with Cell's smaller but incredibly powerful clones along with the other heroes, slowly and gradually losing the fight. After Cell self-destructs out of fear of Super Saiyan 2 Gohan, a cluster of cells containing the core of his being survives and he uses it to resurrect himself through regeneration, much stronger than he ever had been before. Upon his reappearance, he impales Future Trunks through the chest with a Full Power Death Beam, mortally wounding him (while the Funimation dub states that this was intentional, the original version implies that he was just firing randomly, as evidenced by the line "Who was it that I hit? Trunks?"). While Gohan is preparing to fight Cell again, Trunks uses up the last of his life energy to vomit up blood, and Yamcha and Tien Shinhan rush over to aid him, only to realize he had died that moment.

This act causes a drastic change in Vegeta, who becomes enraged that someone who cared about him has been killed and reveals his affection for his son. Vegeta then gives everything he can give to try and take down Super Perfect Cell although he fails and is overwhelmed by Cell's power, who takes all his attacks without a scratch and severely cripples him with a halfhearted blow, preparing to kill him like he did Trunks (only to have Gohan shield him, but at the cost of the use of his left arm). After Cell's defeat, the dead Future Trunks is taken to Kami's Lookout where he is revived by Shenron. Later, when told how his father reacted to his death by Yamcha, Future Trunks became shockingly proud of his father. After the celebrations for Cell's long-waited defeat, Trunks give Bulma the Time Machine which Cell use to came to that era[15] and Vegeta acknowledges Trunks while he says his goodbyes.

TrunksKills18

Future Trunks destroys Future Android 18

After saying his goodbyes, Trunks returns to his own time to exact revenge on the androids for murdering the Z Fighters. After reuniting with his mother, Bulma, Trunks hears a news update on the location of the androids and he quickly powers up into his Super Saiyan form, now greatly augmented by his two years of training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. At Parsley City, the Androids are about to kill another innocent man (in the manga he is killed before Trunks' arrival by being shot in the face by 17), when suddenly Trunks hurtles a very accurate energy attack which narrowly misses 17. The cocky androids foolishly underestimate Trunks and try to rush him. Trunks easily dodges their attacks and punishes them duly, obliterating 18 in a point-blank energy blast. 17 looks on in disbelief and his feelings soon turn to hatred, but he too is terminated with ease in a single blow, before being blown to dust effortlessly.

TrunksFutureVsFutureImperfectCell

Future Trunks confronts Future Cell

The completely unscathed Trunks returns home since everything now seems at peace with the Earth, except for one thing: Cell. Three years pass before the determined Bio-Android roams around in his Imperfect form, looking for the now nonexistent androids and comes across Trunks and Bulma saying their goodbyes near the time machine. Trunks is age 23 at the time. As Trunks is about to leave for the past one final time to inform them of his success, he senses Cell and sends his mother away. He turns towards Cell and begins to taunt him with his knowledge from the alternate past. He informs him that he has killed the androids from the current time. The cocky Cell approaches the half-Saiyan under the false impression that Trunks is still at the level of power when he initially went back in time and warned Goku, even weaker than the future Androids who are in turn inferior to Cell's strength by a long shot. The fight begins and Cell is clearly outclassed as Trunks hurls him outside of the city with a simple energy wave in his base state. Once outside West City, Trunks then transforms into a Super Saiyan and then proceeds to clobber Cell with great ease.

"The nightmare is over, Cell! DIE!"
— Future Trunks before destroying Future Cell in "Free the Future"

When declaring that Cell must die, Cell gets enraged and launches his tail at Trunks. Trunks takes action by grabbing Cell's tail and swinging him around in a circle, building up momentum, and then hurling him high into the air. Cell realizes that he has no hope against the new powers of Trunks, and prepares a Kamehameha large enough to destroy the planet, knowing all too well that he could survive in space. Cell begins the attack but is interrupted when Trunks powers up and unleashes a massive destructive wave of energy which incinerates Cell completely. With the future finally at peace, Trunks is seen looking towards the sky while thanking Goku and his friends in the past one last time.

Interlude

Several years later, Trunks was invited to the Sacred World of the Kai by Shin to train in preparation for Babidi's arrival. He successfully pulled out the Z Sword and trained with it to increase his strength. Shin and Kibito were both impressed that a human was able to master the Z Sword and so Shin decided to finalize his training by testing the Z-Sword's sharpness by cutting a block of Katchin, the hardest metal in the universe. Before Shin could throw the block to Trunks, Kibito sensed Babidi's movements and so they then went to Earth and Trunks requested for his clothes to return to normal. After they reach Earth they managed to take out Pui Pui and Yakon. Trunks then battles Dabura as a Super Saiyan while wielding the Z Sword.

As he was fighting him, Dabura spit on the Z Sword, and as it was being turned into stone, Shin demanded for Trunks to release the sword. As Trunks released the sword, it was completely turned to stone and broke when it fell to the ground, where Dabura burned it with his fire breath. Aftwards, Dabura delivered a strike to Trunks but Trunks held his blade until he was pushed back. Shin stated that he miscalculated Babidi having the ability to have Dabura as his servant and declared that he will prevent Majin Buu's revival as he charged at Babidi. However, Shin was attacked by Dabura and seeing this, Kibito attempted to assist Shin but Dabura blasted him. Shin was being tortured by Babidi and seeing this, Trunks out of anger transformed into Super Saiyan 2 and fiercely attacked Dabura. While Dabura was defending Babidi, Trunks delivered a powerful kick to Dabura and the impact managed to kill Babidi. Dabura was about to use his spear and throw it at Trunks, but Shin paralyzed Dabura and Trunks was able to kill him with a Burning Attack. Shin was glad that the world was at peace, then he perished.

In the anime, Future Trunks had become much stronger and was able to take on Dabura thanks to instructions he received from Shin. He faced Future Dabura and destroyed him along with Future Babidi, preventing the resurrection of Future Majin Buu.

Future Trunks returns

Several years after killing Future Dabura and Future Babidi, and nine years after the fall of the Future Cell, Now Age 796 an enigmatic man named Black goes berserk and causes humanity to be on the brink of extinction. Trunks attempts to stop Black, but fails. Bulma suggests that they should receive help from Goku and Vegeta in the past. Six months later, Bulma gathers enough fuel for a one-way trip to the past for the Time Machine, when all of a sudden, Black gets in their way. Future Trunks shields his mother when Black destroys the lab. Future Trunks is shocked to see that Black has Future Bulma. Future Bulma then tells him to go on without her, and that getting back to the past is the highest priority. Black then fires another ki blast, destroying the lab and Future Bulma, much to his horror. He then shakes it off and runs to find Future Mai, knowing that getting back to the past is their highest priority.

FutureTrunks-Crying(Super)

Future Trunks sobbing over the death of his mother.

Trunks goes to search for Mai, and he is concerned at first when he knocks at her door and gets no answer, yet is relieved when he sees her. Mai asks where Bulma is, then is saddened when she realizes her death by the hands of Black, with Trunks crying over his loss. Trunks reignites the hope of going back to the past as he shows Mai the energy that Bulma sacrificed her life to get, further stating they can go back to the past. Trunks and Mai are seen in the room. Mai asks him if he wants to rest, yet he declines. Mai offers him a can of meat yet declines, as they saw a kitten walk by and they feed him. Trunks then offers half of the can of meat to Mai. Though reluctant, Mai eats up her fill. After she finishes eating, Trunks tells her that they only have enough energy to make a one way trip. They then prepare to leave to Capsule Corporation, and they both see the kitten leave, and that puts a smile on their face, and they run to Capsule Corporation.

Unable to sense Black's ki, Trunks and Mai went forward to the ruined Capsule Corporation building. However, as they approached the building, Black suddenly descends into the scene. He tells Mai to go ahead of him, giving her the energy and drawing his sword as he rushes in to engage Black. In a short skirmish, Trunks was outstripped by Black's unknown powers, and Mai rushed to his head. She volunteered herself as the decoy, telling him he was the one who needed to survive, and winded up critically injured by Black. Holding her unconscious body, Trunks was furious as Black descended and told him the day for him to die has arrived.

Trunks vs. Black

Clutching Mai's hand, Trunks started to think quick. Realizing Capsule Corp to be intact and that Goku Black is unaware of the Time Machine's existence, Trunks distracts him. However, infuriated by Black's goading of Mai's presumed death, he rushed Black head-on, and the two engaged in a fierce battle. Pushed to the edge, he uses his sword to stop a ki blast from Black, and blinds him with a Masenko. Trunks managed to flee to his time machine, and escaped from the future just in time, narrowly avoiding Black's Kamehameha.

Future Trunks suddenly attacks Goku.

Future Trunks manages to escape from Black and get the time machine 16 years into the past traveling from Age 796 to Age 780, where his time machine is found by a woman and he is located unconscious inside by his present counterpart. He is then rushed onto a gurney, where Trunks gets to see him, and is shocked by Future Trunks' arrival. He is then with Bulma, Vegeta, Goku, and Trunks, where they see him in his current state, much to their corresponding concern. Trunks eventually wakes up. Upon seeing Goku, Future Trunks begins suffering from PTSD and mistakes Goku for Black. Future Trunks suddenly rushes out of his bed and attempts to attack Goku in anger, much to Goku's confusion. However, Goku halts Future Trunks' attack by grabbing his arm before the attack could land. Future Trunks is snapped out of his trance and learns that Goku was revived long after he returned to future. Future Trunks then meets his Present counterpart who is surprised to meet him before he goes to retrieve his sword, catching sight of present-day Mai in the process.

FutureTrunks-Begging

Future Trunks meets the God of Destruction

Bulma later explains the Time Machine to everyone as Future Trunks tells his counterpart they really first met when the latter was a baby. Future Trunks then meets Beerus and Whis learning they come from the world of the gods and that time travel is forbidden enough to permit death as Bulma argues with them. Knowing his mother's attitude means trouble, Trunks begs Whis (who he mistakes as the God) until the latter points out Beerus with Trunks learning he is the God of Destruction. Trunks begs Beerus for forgiveness and he lets it slide after Bulma gives him delicious food.

Future Trunks turns Super Saiyan 2

Future Trunks is later asked why he time travelled as he talks about a new enemy, when asked if it was Majin Buu, he tells them he prevented the villain's hatching. He soon explains the reason why he attacked Goku as the enemy he is facing looks exactly like him and explains what happened to the Future because of him even revealing that Future Bulma was killed by the man they have named Goku Black. Goku, curious to how strong Future Trunks is, asks to have a sparring match with him. Future Trunks accepts and powers up to Super Saiyan 2. Impressed, Goku also powers up to Super Saiyan 2 and then eventually goes farther to Super Saiyan 3. Bulma, fearing for the city, erects a barrier around them so they can fight in peace. Fully powered up, Future Trunks, as a Super Saiyan 2 attacks with his sword. The force from the blow shatters the barrier but Goku as a Super Saiyan 3 caught the blade without much effort then proceeded to overpower the young Saiyan. Goku helps Future Trunks to his feet and tells him that he is impressed with his power and is amazed that he was able to get so far on his own. Future Trunks is then greeted by Krillin and Piccolo, who ask if something happened in the future.

In the anime only, a sudden thunderstorm appears, and Black appears through a portal, which shocks Future Trunks. Future Trunks becomes enraged by Black's appearance in the past and he is ready to fight but is stopped by Vegeta. He watches the fight between Super Saiyan 2 Goku and Black and he wonders why Goku doesn't go all out, and Vegeta explains about Goku's bad habit of not fighting seriously in the beginning. When the fight ends, Black is sucked back into the future, but not before Black destroys the Time Machine. With the Time Machine destroyed, Future Trunks is stranded in the past with no way back to his timeline. He then learns about the Time Ring from Whis and Beerus and asks for one but Beerus tells him that The Time Ring can only be used by the Supreme Kais. Bulma then found a capsule and opens it, revealing the Time Machine that Cell came in from the future. Bulma revealed that before Future Trunks went back to the future after Cell's defeat he gave that capsule to Bulma, and Bulma placed it away and forgot about it over the years.

Future Trunks then meets present day Mai and tells her about her future counterpart. He tells her about her future counterpart and how she was the leader of the resistance against Black. Goku then interrupts the story saying that Future Trunks should rest since he's been pushing himself ever since he got to the present timeline. Future Trunks then takes a nap, but has a nightmare about Black so he wakes up and checks on the progress of the Time Machine, and Bulma says she already has the fuel for the Time Machine, much to Future Trunks' surprise. He then goes outside where Krillin and Piccolo are cleaning up the mess from the battle and asks them where Gohan is, thinking maybe he should take Gohan to the future as well. Piccolo disagrees with Trunks, because Gohan was not as strong as he used to be, and told Future Trunks he "wasn't the same Gohan he knew".

Gohan and Trunks

Future Trunks meets Gohan for the first time in years

In the anime, Future Trunks then visits Gohan during his conference, and they have ice cream together, while Future Trunks is somewhat shocked and slightly disappointed with Gohan's current power, and feels like he can't recognize him at all. Gohan invites him to meet his family, and they travel to Gohan's house, where Future Trunks meets Videl, Mr. Satan and Gohan's daughter, Pan. While Future Trunks waits for Gohan to finish his work, and Videl to prepare dinner, he babysits Pan, and wonders why is he there doing nothing, and Pan begins a tug-of-war with Future Trunks over his sword, until Gohan arrives to stop Pan. Future Trunks and Gohan then go outside with Pan, and they begin to talk about how Gohan should be stricter with Pan, but can't help himself as he gets "soft" whenever he looks at her. After Future Trunks sees Gohan playing with Pan, he has a vision of how his future would've been if Black hadn't shown up, and realizes the reason why he has to fight Black; in order to allow the people of his future to live happily like Gohan and his family, and is finally able to lighten up after the traumatic events he witnessed. Upon arrival back at Capsule Corp Future Trunks bumps into Krillin and talks for a while and Krillin nervously wants to introduce Trunks to his wife and child to which Future Trunks is excited to meet, a figure stumbles upon them, and it turned out to be Android 18, his former adversary, from his timeline, upon seeing Android 18, Future Trunks instantly recognizes her, calls out her name, and prepares to draw his sword, ready to attack her (thinking she is evil) but Krillin stops him and says that Android 18 is his wife. Initially, Future Trunks is both shocked and confused, however, Android 18 reveals she even has a child with Krillin which surprises Future Trunks even more (apparently unaware that despite being an "android", Android 18 can produce an offspring), Android 18 approaches him and gives Future Trunks a friendly fist, to his anxiety Android 18 tells Future Trunks that she heard about him destroying her future timeline counterpart, and demands Future Trunks to pay, but Android 18 is just joking and rejoins Krillin and their daughter, to his slight relief, Future Trunks looks at Android 18 happy together with her family with an awkward look on his face, and goes on to check on his mother.

Future Trunks and Vegeta Training

Future Trunks training with his father.

In the anime only, on the next day, Vegeta takes Future Trunks to the forest to train and Trunks powers up to Super Saiyan 2 and wants Vegeta to go Super Saiyan 3 like Goku did. Vegeta simply laughs and goes Super Saiyan Blue, which confuses Trunks initially, but Trunks is quickly able to figure out that the Super Saiyan Blue form has godly energy and also figures out Goku uses this form as well and believes that Black can easily be stopped if Goku and Vegeta fight him together. Vegeta begins to mock Trunks and makes a bet with Trunks: if Trunks could land a hit on him, Vegeta would forfeit and award the victory to Trunks. Trunks responds by transforming into Super Saiyan Third Grade while Super Saiyan 2 for a massive power boost which Vegeta mocks and calls a primitive transformation and charges Trunks rapidly moving around him trying to confuse him.

However, Future Trunks is able to follow his father and at the last moment power back down to Super Saiyan 2 and counterattacks and begins to actually push back Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta with Vegeta realizing Future Trunks lured him in with the form. Vegeta is quickly able to regain the upper hand and begins to attack, with Trunks able to hold his own for a time but is eventually kicked through the forest and into a cliff as Goku and Bulma arrive via Instant Transmission. Future Trunks appears to have been beaten and power back down to base form, with Vegeta lifts Future Trunks by his shirt and begins mocking Future Trunks more and telling him that his goal should be to become the strongest in the universe and not just beat Black. Bulma attempts to move in to stop Vegeta but Goku stops her and says it's not over yet. Vegeta lowers his guard thinking he has won but Future Trunks springs to life and reveals he isn't hurt at all and headbutts Vegeta to the ground. Future Trunks begins to laugh at Vegeta and proclaims his victory over him, offering to help him up but Vegeta refuses and storms off. Future Trunks bows to his father and vows once again to not only defeat Black but to surpass him.

These events do not happen in the manga - and as such Black never destroyed Trunks' time machine like he did in the anime. The Z Fighters still have to wait for Future Trunks' time machine to be re-fueled and during this time they play a racing video game, with Future Trunks coming in second. Future Trunks then goes to train with Vegeta in a gravity chamber.

Future Trunks back in the present

Back in the present, Future Trunks and the others lament on Zamasu's immortality as well as Black's Super Saiyan Rosé form, and listens on to Whis' theory on the matter. Outside on a swing, Future Trunks felt hopeless and depressed about any chances of saving his timeline, until his younger version tried to snap him out of it by sparring (the match was completely off-screen). Future Trunks did appreciate Kid Trunks' attempt to get him to persevere. Goku, Beerus, and Whis return to inform everyone of Zamasu's demise. Future Trunks wasn't entirely convinced and suggests going back to the future to confirm Beerus' theory. Future Trunks tells Kid Trunks that despite them being the same person, they had different lives, he tells the latter about the deaths of Goku, Vegeta, and the others, as well as the Android threat. He also reveals that he is from an alternate timeline (and not the actual future).

Future Trunks and Vegeta enter the fight with Future Trunks wanting to take on Black. Black and Future Zamasu tell Future Trunks that he is one of the reasons they want to eradicate all mortals due to using the time machine and without him Black openly admits he would have never even sought out Goku's body, calling Future Trunks a sinner. Enraged at their statements, Future Trunks charges at Black, but is quickly knocked out of his Super Saiyan 2 form and falls to the ground. Consumed by his anger, Future Trunks stand back up and takes on a completely new form never seen before, shocking everyone. As he slowly walks towards Black with an enraged expression, Future Trunks loudly exclaims that he will kill Black.

Despite his best efforts, Future Trunks is eventually knocked out, but was saved by Mai. After waking up and eating a Senzu bean provided by Future Yajirobe, Future Trunks rescues Future Mai from a combined blast attack from Black and Future Zamasu after she attempts to assassinate Black. Future Trunks quickly devises a plan to separate the immortal Future Zamasu from Black and succeeds, leaving Black to fight Future Trunks in a sword duel. Black mocks Future Trunks' sword as a pathetic tool as he seemingly overwhelms him, but Future Trunks distracts him by throwing his sword before delivering three powerful gut punches followed by a full power Galick Gun. The beam sends Black flying through the forest, through his own hideout and straight into a mountain, where he appears be unconscious.

Future Trunks stabbed by Goku Black

As Future Trunks attempts to regroup, Future Zamasu returns to try and kill Future Trunks. Realizing he only has one last attack in him, Future Trunks pretends to lower his guard before catching Future Zamasu in a lock. He decides that there must be a limit to Future Zamasu's regeneration, and attempts to blow him up in what appears to be a self-destruct attack, however he is stabbed through the back by Black who had recovered from their last encounter. Before a killing blow can be dealt, Goku and Vegeta return from the past and draw Black and Future Zamasu's attention, allowing Future Mai to save Trunks. After recovering, Future Trunks takes Future Mai to Bulma who orders Future Trunks to fix the Evil Containment Wave jar with super glue, reminding Future Trunks that he is good at puzzles.

Future Trunks uses the Evil Containment Wave on Zamasu

Future Trunks fixes the jar and proceeded to learned the sealing technique, while Bulma leaves to distract Zamasu in order to buy time. He and Future Mai headed out shortly after and witnessed Zamasu lifting Bulma by her coat (the same way Black held Future Bulma). Future Trunks powers up and uses it on him, which seemed successful (that is until realizing that Goku forgot the amulet seal). Zamasu had broken free. Trunks and the others watched on as Black and Future Zamasu fused using the Potara earrings.

Trunks and Vegeta attack Zamasu together

Future Trunks, Goku, and Vegeta prepared themselves against the merged Zamasu. Future Trunks takes on his new super form after seeing Goku and Vegeta defeated, he charges in, but proved little against the dark god's might. Realizing the desire to protect his world and its people, Future Trunks mustered up a lot of his energy to fire a Galick Gun, causing the fused entity to respond with a ki blast of his own. Future Trunks was slowly losing the beam clash, until Vegeta steps in (and fired a Galick Gun of his own), and the two managed to overpower the evil Shinjin/Saiyan hybrid. They both collapsed, proud of their seeming victory, but their defiance had only served to enrage Fused Zamasu. After Vegeta took a direct hit from the fused god's Lightning of Judgement, Future Trunks watched as Goku fired a strong Kamehameha wave at the enemy.

Dragon-ball-super-future-trunks-arc-670x388

Future Trunks re-enters the battle

While watching the battle between Vegito Blue and Fused Zamasu, Future Trunks hears from Gowasu that the fusion of Goku Black and Future Zamasu is unstable; while the body may be immortal, the soul is not, so the Fusion is starting to destroy itself due to the conflict in body and soul. Bulma and Future Mai return with the time machine and what was left of Future Trunks's sword; staring at the blade, Future Trunks begins to hear everyone cheering for him and telling him not to give up. Inspired and with his will to fight returned, Future Trunks channels his ki through his broken blade, generating a long golden blade of energy. Thus rearmed, Future Trunks enters the fight to save the just-unfused Goku and Vegeta from death, engaging Fused Zamasu on his own a humanity's final hope.

Future Trunks defeats Fused Zamasu

During the fight, Fused Zamasu mocks Future Trunks and his "mortal weakness", asking him where he will go for help now, the past of the future. Future Trunks tells him he is not ashamed of his "mortal weakness" and he just wants to save everyone. Future Trunks's allies fervently pray for his victory, causing him to unconsciously channel the energy of everyone who is still alive into a large ball of light. Upon noticing the massive orb and realizing what it is, Future Trunks flies into it and absorbs the energy, transforming his blade into a giant greatsword made of the light energy and making him equal to Fused Zamasu. As he calls for everyone to give him their energy, Goku and Vegeta wake up and give their remaining power to Trunks. Now fully engulfed in an aura of light energy, Future Trunks shatters Fused Zamasu's own ki blade before stabbing the formerly immortal god. Defying the mad god's final claim of superiority, Future Trunks uses his empowered blade to slice Fused Zamasu clean in half, destroying his body and ending the crusade of the fallen god once and for all.

Goku, Vegeta and Trunks

Trunks, Goku and Vegeta are shocked at Zamasu's will

While everyone congratulated Future Trunks for defeating the crazed entity, Zamasu however was shown to have survived and eschews his physical body to become one with the universe. Future Trunks, Goku, and Vegeta rushed to stop him, but to no avail, and the mad Kaioshin unleashes an onslaught of energy beams from the sky to kill all the remaining Earthlings, with only Future Trunks, Goku, Vegeta, Bulma, Future Mai, Shin, and Gowasu left. Future Trunks and the others watched as Goku used the button to summon Future Zeno, as Gowasu and Shin bowed down, while Future Trunks questioned who he was and is surprised to hear from Bulma he is the most eminent god in the universe.

Future Trunks, Goku and Vegeta

When Goku suggested that Future Zeno erase Zamasu, the latter states he will and decides to destroy the entire future world as well. Hearing this, Goku quickly alerted everyone to run and activate the time machine. The group barely escaped through the time machine as Zeno begins to erase Zamasu along with the future multiverse. Future Trunks and the others arrived back to the present, and tells everyone that his world is no more, he and Goku used the time machine to search for Future Zeno and brought him to the present timeline. Whis and Beerus soon arrived and the former tells Future Trunks that he will go forward in time to warn Future Beerus to destroy Future Zamasu thereby thwarting his ambitions, stating that it will also add another Future Trunks and Future Mai in that timeline. The two future survivors agreed, and prepared to head into the new future timeline where everyone is still alive. Bulma teased the two saying that her future self will soon become a grandmother (much to their embarrassment).

Future Trunks farewell

Future Trunks and Future Mai bid farewell to their friends.

Future Trunks and Future Mai waved their goodbyes, but before they could board the time machine, Future Trunks is suddenly attacked by Vegeta (who was testing his future son's newfound power, and was proud as Future Trunks blocked his attack). As they were about to disappear into the new timeline, Future Trunks is greeted by Piccolo and Gohan (the latter's presence causes Future Trunks to tearfully reminisce his memories with Future Gohan, before Gohan's optimistic words caused him to cheer up and look forward to seeing everyone again in the new timeline).

In the manga side story after the "Future" Trunks Saga, Gohan talks with Bulma after Trunks left and revealed that he was actually wanting to go into the future with them just to visit Future Bulma and see what it was like in the new future world they were going to. Bulma tells Gohan that he still can and that she actually made copies of the time machine and can make one for him to go and visit him. However unknown to Bulma and Gohan, Future Trunks’ original plan was that he was simply going to stay in the present world and him going back into a different future was actually what changed his mind after speaking with Gohan.

Future Trunks surprised to see Goku alive

Future Trunks and Vegeta then head to Universe 11 only for his father to be possessed by Oren shortly afterwards. Angry over his father being controlled, Future Trunks transforms into a Super Saiyan and charges Oren but is quickly blasted into the sea when he uses Smash Break on him. Future Trunks returns not long after to take a swipe at Fused Zamasu but misses. He is then taken down for a second time by Oren who prepares to kill him but thanks to the timely arrival of Goku he is saved. Trunks watches as Goku battles both Kamin and Oren. When Hearts uses Lagss power to attack Goku, Trunks attempts to help him but is intercepted by Kamioren, the merger of Kamin and Oren. Trunks is told by his father to get back as he proceeds to watch him battle the merged warrior, amazed when his father evolves even further into Super Saiyan God SS Evolved.

When Lagss attempts to finish off Goku, Trunks saves him and fights her in his place. After charging through her attack he fires a large energy blast at her. Lagss counters with an attack from below ground but Goku pushes him out of the way and takes the attack instead. Soon after he is pinned to the ground by Hearts along with everyone else but Shin teleports into the area and thanks to both he and Goku's Instant Transmission, they are able to get away safely.

He asks him why after previously trying to exterminate all mortals before, would he now team up with one but Zamasu refuses to answer him. Shortly after, he and his father join Piccolo and Android 17 in their fight against the newly powered up Kamioren. Despite attacking all together they have no effect on their opponent and Trunks is caught up in Kamioren's energy blast and falls to the ground and out of his Super Saiyan form.

During Goku's fight with Kamioren, Future Trunks and the other members of the Dragon Team assist Goku by launching an energy barrage against the merged Neo Machine Mutant. After Kamioren is killed and Zamasu returns, Trunks once again asks why he would defend a mortal like Hearts and this time he answers by saying that after he kills Zeno he can execute his Zero Mortal Plan. Trunks joins in with the others in attacking him but is swiftly taken down in a single blow. After Hearts re-appears and kills Zamasu, Trunks attempts to face him along with the others but is taken down multiple times with ease. He then buys Goku and his father some time so that they can fuse into Gogeta.

Future Trunks in Broly - The Legendary Super Saiyan

He was attending the hanami picnic, although he was shocked that anyone could think that Krillin's abysmal attempts at singing Karaoke was "good." Afterwards, when Paragus arrived on Earth and requested that Vegeta become the king of the revived Saiyan Empire, and help the South Area by defeating the Legendary Super Saiyan, Future Trunks expressed suspicion, trying to tell Vegeta not to go. When his attempts to tell Vegeta of his suspicions fell on deaf ears, he went over with Paragus to New Planet Vegeta, namely to further attempt to convince his father to not do it. However, his attempt to do so fell on deaf ears. While scouting with Krillin and Gohan the city on New Planet Vegeta, they discover that the "city" was actually a bunch of ruins, and that Paragus was utilizing slave labor to create the palace, and stopped some of the guards from whipping a Shamoian slave. Afterwards, they feed the famished Shamoians and try to garner information. They learn that the Legendary Super Saiyan does indeed exist, and that he was responsible for the destruction of their home planet.

The next morning, Future Trunks, Gohan, Krillin, and Master Roshi revealed to Vegeta of Paragus' deception about New Planet Vegeta, bringing the slaves to confirm it. This, along with Broly, Paragus' son, being exposed as being the Legendary Super Saiyan afterwards, forces Paragus to confess that it was all a set up. When Broly transformed into his Legendary Super Saiyan form, Future Trunks is amazed by his fearsome power but snaps back to reality when he attacks.

Future Trunks then attempts to aid Goku and Gohan shortly after Broly went berserk. He quickly makes it to their destination and transforms into his Super Saiyan Second Grade form but even still they are no match for him. After Broly demonstrated his ruthless by destroying the slave's home planet, Future Trunks stated if they allowed Broly to live then he'd continue to destroy the whole universe. He and the others continued their battle but to no avail as Future Trunks was soon knocked into a wall, and later smashed into a railway by Broly. He was then given Senzu Beans by an arriving Piccolo, and attempted alongside Gohan to fire a double Masenko at Broly, only for him to brush off the attack and fall down the building unscathed.

Future Trunks then cheers for Vegeta when the latter gets out of his shock and fights Broly, only to immediately rush to his father's aid and be punched upside the head by Broly. He then transfers most of his ki energy to Goku along with the other Z Fighters in a last ditch effort to stop Broly which is successful. He and the others barely manage to escape from New Planet Vegeta's destruction from Comet Camori.

Time Patrol Trunks in Dragon Ball Online

Future Trunks has already aided the Z Fighters in the past through time travel and defeated Future Cell by this point, however, even if it was for the protection of Earth's peace, the act of using the Time Machine is ultimately a violation of the laws of the universe. When used, a time paradox occurs and multiple divisions are produced, causing the formation of different histories. The Lord of Time gave Future Trunks a stern warning for his actions. In order to redeem his wrong actions, Trunks took up the job of Time Patrol,[17] and he was warned by Dende and Piccolo that Mira was causing chaos throughout time and space. Being the primary face of his Time Patrol operation and desperate to seek warriors in the future, Future Trunks is dedicated to put an end to Mira's threat. Future Trunks travels to Age 1000 in order to gather the Time Patrol to stop Mira. Future Trunks has become devoted to this cause and often calls on the player to undergo missions.

During the player's tutorial of the game, Future Trunks appears in a cinematic cutscene in which he lands at Kame House. He dons informal martial arts clothes, primarily a trench coat with a green torso beneath, and a new sword. He traveled from his timeline accompanied by a robot named Hope! to seek the aid of warriors in the future (the players themselves, later called Time Patrol) through having them complete Time Machine Quests. After a brief talk, he easily dispatches of a few Battle Armor-cladded cyborgs in his base state, using a technique that appears to be the Burning Attack but with blue energy instead. Soon, he takes the players to the past in order to fix time in the Vegeta Saga and Frieza Saga, encountering Towa for the first time after arriving on Namek in the past. Future Trunks chases after Towa when she revives and enhances Cui's power, but Towa manages to escape and Future Trunks regroups with his group after they defeated Zarbon. He then brings the Time Patrol slightly forward in time in order to stop Towa from using the Ginyu Force for her experiments. While the Time Patrol fights Time Breakers, Trunks heads out to look for Towa and eventually catches her as she prepares to leave when her brainwashed Recoome fails to defeat Krillin, Gohan, and Vegeta and faints. The two have a brief conversation, and Towa then teleports away. Trunks tells the Time Patrol that Goku will arrive on Namek very soon and that they should leave the situation to him. He then heads after Towa again and learns that the Time Breakers are attempting to kill all of the Namekian Frogs in the area to make sure that Goku does not find and throw one into Captain Ginyu's Body Change beam. When Future Trunks informs his team and they set out to stop the Time Breakers, a Planet Trade soldier attempts to shoot Future Trunks in the back but is killed by Bardock. Bardock then tells Future Trunks that Towa plans to brainwash Goku (who is in Ginyu's body now), so Trunks sends his team to help Goku.

Future Trunks XV Art

Future Trunks in Xenoverse

Future Trunks is a major character in the story of Xenoverse, he works for Chronoa, the Supreme Kai of Time, as her assistant and the head of the Time Patrol, he and the Time Patrol are based in Toki Toki City (in Age 850) which houses the Time Storage Vault. Due the events that happened during the Android Saga, Trunks had to atone for his sin of changing time, thus joining the Time Patrol. Due to the main timeline's history being distorted, Trunks wished for a strong warrior to help him in fixing the timeline, resulting in the Future Warrior being summoned to Toki Toki City. His character comes from Dragon Ball Online, while working for Chronoa as her assistant and field leader of the Time Patroller.

In Xenoverse, it is revealed that he became Chronoa's assistant after she confronted him about his crime of using his mother's Time Machine to change history, though Chronoa reveals to the Future Warrior that it wasn't a crime at that point as Trunks' use of the Time Machine was the first time distortion in the history of Universe 7 and that she really needed an assistant so she tricked Trunks into working for her by claiming it was to atone for his sin of using the Time Machine, but she didn't realize that Trunks would take her words so seriously and as a result tells the Warrior to keep it a secret from Trunks as he has proven himself to be a hard worker. Though she tricked Trunks into working for her, Chronoa understands Trunks' reasons for altering history were noble and allowed his alternations to history and the alternate timelines created by them to remain as history turned out for the better because of it, though forbids Trunks from physically taking part in correcting the past of timelines such as his own or ones where his time traveling past self is present do to the potential dangers involved, except in certain cases (such as his past self not being present).

As a result, Trunks acts as the Future Warrior mission controller, communicating with them from the Time Nest though occasionally joins them in the field such as during the fight with Mira in a wasteland during the Cell Games, as Mira and Towa originate from a different timeline and as a result fighting them will not effect history. However, as a result of his interference, Towa attempts to erase Trunks from history by empowering the Future Androids to kill his past self in both Age 783 and Age 785, causing Trunks' existence to become ephemeral putting Trunks in danger of being erased completely (which would also potentially threaten the Warrior's existence as his wish resulted in the Warrior being summoned and recruited in the first place). However, the Warrior manages to save Future Trunks from Future #17 and Future #18, but Towa arrives to reveal the second change and to mock them at being unable to save Future Trunks in time. Fortunately, a mysterious man appears and offers to assist the warrior in traveling to the change who accepts as it is the only way to save Trunks and his past self.

In Age 785 of Trunks' timeline, the Warrior finds Future Trunks being confronted by Future Cell who had attained his perfect form thanks to Towa granting him power with Dark Magic. However, the Future Warrior arrives to assist Future Trunks in defeating and killing the evil Bio-Android resulting in the deaths of Future 17 and Future 18 as well, bringing peace to Trunks' timeline. Future Trunks thanks the Warrior for saving them again and asks who they are, but the Warrior gives him a cryptic answer that he will know someday before returning to the Time Nest. Trunks thanks the Warrior for rescuing his past self. Trunks and the Warrior later learn that the Demon God Demigra was the mysterious stranger who aided the Warrior back then, and Demigra attempts to kill Trunks, the Warrior, and Chronoa with his Majin Emblem, which fails thanks to Chronoa's quick intervention. Chronoa later reveals that 75 Million years ago, Demigra tried to steal the divine bird Tokitoki and take over the Time Nest but she defeated and sealed him away in the Crack of Time. Trunks tries to attack Demigra but he is revealed to be a mirage created by Demigra which reveals to Chronoa that Demigra is still imprisoned within the Crack of Time, though the seal is breaking due to Towa and Mira's alterations to history. After the Warrior manages to defeat Kid Buu, Trunks assumes that Demigra has given up, only for his mirage to appear and angrily declare he has not spent 75 million years waiting just to give up, then travels to Age 778 using its Time Scroll, which Chronoa is horrified by as she knows it is the year that the God of Destruction Beerus went to Earth. Unaware of who Beerus is, Trunks asks her if that is a bad thing and Chronoa angrily refers to Beerus as the "freaking God of Destruction" to express the danger of the situation and that they stop Demigra or history could be destroyed.

Trunks observes his father Vegeta's desperate attempts to keep Beerus happy, but Demigra foils his efforts from afar and attempts to gain control over Beerus. The Warrior fights alongside Majin Buu against Beerus. Trunks watches as Bulma is knocked back by the fight causing his father to become stronger through his Quake of Fury and even cheers on his father. He eventually witnesses Goku become a Super Saiyan God. However it soon appears as if Demigra manages to take control of Beerus and appears to gloat before Goku and the Future Warrior, only to be attacked by Beerus with his Sphere of Destruction, revealing that Beerus was only pretending to lure Demigra out to destroy him for daring to try to control a God. After Beerus and the Future Warrior manage to defeat Demigra's Mirage, Trunks is surprised to see Whis and Beerus had followed the Warrior back to the Time Nest as Beerus wishes to inquire about Demigra's whereabouts so he can destroy him. Chronoa attempts to dissuade him due to the potential destruction he could cause. Beerus decides to give the Time Patrol a chance if Trunks and the Future Warrior manage to defeat Beerus and Whis in a sparring match. They agree and manage to defeat Whis and Beerus (though it is strongly implied that neither Beerus or Whis was fighting with their full power), so Beerus decides to leave Demigra's defeat up to the Time Patrol. Soon Demigra comes up with a new plan and uses the Dragon Balls to revive Frieza, Cell, and Kid Buu whom he places under his control and sends them to attack West City in Age 778. The Future Warrior heads out to stop them, while Trunks stays behind to protect Tokitoki and monitor the situation from the Time Nest, as Chronoa uses Toki Toki City's set of Dragon Balls to inform Goku of the situation. Together with Goku's assistance, the Future Warrior manages to defeat the villains, though they are soon confronted by a possessed Vegeta, Gohan, and Gotenks, though they manage to free them.

However while the Future Warrior is away, Demigra escapes the Crack of Time and attacks Toki Toki City and absorbs Tokitoki granting him power over time and space. Demigra uses his power to possess Trunks whom he commands to attack the Future Warrior when they return to Age 850. However Trunks resists Demigra's control mentally and tells the Warrior to keep on hitting him as it is the only way to free his body from Demigra's Control. Eventually the Warrior defeats Trunks Trunks, but Demigra decides to take control of the Warrior instead, but Trunks distracts the Demon God by attacking with what is left of his strength, giving Chronoa time to dispel Demigra's Dark Magic before the Warrior is taken over completely. Goku soon arrives using Instant Transmission and confronts Demigra alongside the Future Warrior. Demigra is unable to control Goku due to him having previously obtained the Super Saiyan God form and is defeated. However Demigra refuses to admit defeat and flees. Goku tells everyone to grab on to him as he uses Instant Transmission to transport them to where Demigra fled to and find themselves inside the Time Vault. Trunks collapses from his injuries, leaving it up to Goku and the Future Warrior to stop Demigra, who planned to destroy the Time Vault and ride out the destruction of the Universe within the Crack of Time. Ultimately Demigra is defeated and Tokitoki is saved, while Chronoa uses her healing powers to heal Trunks' injuries. After Demigra's defeat, Trunks and his partner the Future Warrior continue to defend history as members of the Time Patrol and deal with new threats to history caused by Demigra's Wormholes which he created before his death in the Crack of Time. During the Legendary Super Saiyan Saga, Trunks aids the Warrior by searching through the Time Scrolls to find out where the Wormholes have been appearing and manages to track down the time displaced Bardock and Broly on Dying Namek in Age 762.

After the Future Warrior, Great Ape Bardock, and Vegeta manage to defeat Broly on Earth after being transported there by Dende's wish to Porunga, Trunks arrives and knocks out Vegeta with a Pressure Point Attack to keep his father from asking too many questions. He tells the Warrior he will deal with returning Bardock and Broly to their proper timelines. During the conflict in the GT Timeline, Trunks witnesses his counterpart being infected by Baby's Tuffle parasites and is disgusted by his infected counterpart's attempts to trick Pan and the Warrior. However he later comes to respect his counterpart when he confronts the Nappa and the Neo Ginyu Force in place of his father and even shows concern for him when he is blasted away by Hell Fighter 17. After Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta and the Future Warrior manage to defeat the three main GT villains, Trunks arrives to return the villains to their proper places in history and briefly reunites with Vegeta who reveals he is pleased to see that his son from the other future is doing well.

Xenoverse 2

Time Patrol Recruitment video

Trunks returns in Xenoverse 2 as a member of the Time Patrol and assistant to Chronoa. He and Chronoa appear in a recruitment video for Time Patrol and explain the dangers that come with altering history and why Time Patrollers are forbidden from altering history the way Future Trunks did.

Prologue

It is revealed that Trunks and his partner the Toki Toki City Hero have been busy searching for the whereabouts of Towa and Mira who have returned following their defeat during the Demigra Incident and gone back to altering history, recruiting various villains such as Turles, Lord Slug, and Cooler to aid them in altering history.

The Saiyan Threat Saga

During the Attack of the Saiyans on Earth in Age 762, as Goku and the Future Warrior struggle against Turles, they are contacted by Trunks who reveals his partner is en route to their location to provide back-up. He informs them that Turles is a dangerous opponent and they will need teamwork to take him down.

Ruckus on Planet Namek

When the Future Warrior is confronted by the nefarious Lord Slug after helping Krillin escape from Zarbon. Trunks contacts him to inform he is on his way to his location, determined not to let Slug escape like Turles did previously. Chronoa tells him to hurry as this all seems wrong. Trunks arrives forcing Lord Slug to flee with Trunks in hot pursuit.

The Ginyu Force Strikes Saga

Later during the battle with the Ginyu Force, Trunks decides to follow Ginyu while the 2nd Future Warrior focuses on fighting the Dark Magic enhanced Ginyu Force and interference from Turles. However, Ginyu was actually bait to lure Trunks into trap and has his body stolen by Ginyu, unintentionally altering history, forcing Trunks in Ginyu's body to fight alongside Goku and the warrior to regain his original body, which leads to Turles aiding Ginyu in stealing Goku's body though the timeline is eventually restored. Chronoa admonishes Trunks for falling for such a trap as it almost ruined history and he promises to be careful in the future.

The Galactic Emperor Saga

Later when Towa and Mira appear while the Future Warrior is fighting with Turles and Lord Slug, Trunks arrives to aid the current him and tells his partner, the Toki Toki City Hero to go after Mira. Turles and Lord Slug try to kill the two with a combined energy wave, but Trunks counters with a Burning Attack while the Future Warrior counters with an energy wave which merge into a combined energy wave that overpowers Turles and Slug's combined energy wave, seemingly destroying them. After the battle, Trunks decides to go after Mira while the Future Warrior aids Gohan and the others in combating Frieza.

After the Future Warrior defeats Frieza and his brother Cooler, he goes to aid Trunks in fighting Mira. However, they find Trunks exhausted and injured. While the Future Warrior tends to the injured, Trunks tells his partner, the Toki Toki City Hero, to continue to chase after Mira after he flees.

Android Warfare Saga

Later, Trunks and Elder Kai observe an altered history of Age 767 where Imperfect Cell manages to absorb Android 17 and 18 together, causing him to transform into his perfect form and bypass his Semi-Perfect form. Trunks explains to a confused Elder Kai that this could potentially result in the Cell Games never occurring. Chronoa suggests that Trunks guide the Future Warrior for this mission as he is very familiar with that period of history.

He watches as the Future Warrior confronts Dark Android 17 alongside Piccolo, indicating that there were further changes to the timeline than they were aware of and warns that Cell would become even more powerful if he were to absorb Dark 17, ordering them to dispel the enchantment before Cell arrives. However, they manage to hold off Android 17 long enough for Imperfect Cell to appear and defeat Piccolo, forcing Android 16 to join the fight. However, Trunks notices that Cell is stronger than 16 due to Towa empowering him with Dark Magic. Eventually, the timeline is restored when Cell absorbs Android 17 as he had in the original timeline.

Later Trunks discovers that Mira is planning to join the Cell Games and decides to join the Future Warrior in confronting him. They manage to stop Mira from interfering with Goku and Cell's fight at the Cell Games. However, Towa soon appears and it is revealed that Mira was just stalling for time to allow Towa to enact her plan, before leaving with Mira. Trunks tells the Future Warrior that they will have to continue on alone due to the presence of his past self at the Cell Games. When Towa reveals that she created a Wormhole connecting Earth to New Namek, causing Metal Coolers to appear, Trunks heads to New Namek ahead of the Future Warrior and infiltrates the Big Gete Star and programs a self-destruct sequence into the central computer.

Trunks arrives to aid the Future Warrior in confronting the remaining Metal Coolers. When Metal Cooler mocks him for jumping into the fight, Trunks reveals that he did not just dive in headfirst without a plan and reveals how he reprogrammed the central computer to the bewilderment of Metal Cooler. The Big Gete Star self-destructs, killing Cooler in the process, causing the remaining Metal Coolers to break down and self-destruct. Trunks then destroys the Wormhole to prevent any further problems and tells the Future Warrior to return to the Age 767 of the main timeline to check on Gohan and the others.

A Desperate Future Saga

Later, Trunks is shown viewing the Time Scroll for Age 780 of his timeline where he witnesses Future Gohan's final battle with Future Androids 17 and 18, as well as his teenage self's first Super Saiyan transformation after finding Future Gohan's dead body. Elder Kai notes that he does not approve of the construction of Time Machines in reference which Trunks agrees with fully aware of the ramifications of his crime despite his good intentions. Suddenly a history change occurs in the scroll for Age 780 and Chronoa asks Trunks if he understands the danger of a history change in his past forces him to remain in the Time Nest and he confirms he understands after having experienced his own existence become ephemeral after Towa's previous two pronged attack on his timeline. He hands the scroll to the Future Warrior entrusting them with preventing his past from being altered as he had done with his partner during Towa's previous attempts to alter his past.

The Future Warrior arrives in Age 780 to find Future Gohan being confronted by Future Android 16 whom Trunks notes should not even exist in the first place, he instructs them that they must protect his mentor Future Gohan, despite painfully knowing that Future Gohan is fated to die during his battle with Future 17 and 18 which is the event Future 16 has been sent to alter by killing Future Gohan before it happens. Not wishing to see his mentor and fellow Time Patroller die, Trunks travels to Age 780 in defiance of Chronoa. Super Saiyan Trunks fires a Burning Attack to announce his presence to Mira and says that he will not have his way. Future Gohan is surprised to see Trunks but realises that he is not the same Trunks he knows. Chronoa pleads to Trunks that he cannot do this as it could potentially alter his own history. Trunks however states he cannot abandon Future Gohan in a situation like this, causing Chronoa to admonish himfor his stubbornness. Together with Future Gohan and the Future Warrior, Trunks manages to overpower Mira who is surprised by his inability to defeat them, declaring himself the strongest, causing Trunks to declare that he will not let him kill Future Gohan, before Mira retreats.

After the battle, Future Gohan concludes that Trunks came from the future using his mother's Time Machine then turns his attention to the remaining Future Androids 17 and 18. Trunks is conflicted by emotions as a result of his reunion with Future Gohan and offers to join Future Gohan in fighting the Androids, despite knowing that doing so would change the course of history. Chronoa is quick to remind Trunks of the ramifications. Trunks is reluctant to leave Future Gohan to his fate torn between his desire to save his master and his Time Patrol duties, forcing her to order the Warrior to stop him. However, Future Gohan realizes his fate from Trunks reaction and also concludes by the grown up Future Trunks' presence means that the future is safe and that his fight against the androids in Age 780 has a real purpose, which is good enough for him. Future Gohan states it was nice seeing him and prepares to leave to face the Androids, Trunks tries to stop him, only for the Future Warrior to intervene as Chronoa had instructed. Bidding farewell to Trunks, Future Gohan flies off to heroically confront his destiny. Trunks and the Future Warrior return to Age 852 and Chronoa thanks the warrior for stopping Trunks and he apologizes for being careless. Chronoa and Elder Kai decide to give Trunks time to recover from his emotional and heartbreaking reunion with Future Gohan and handle things on their own for a little while.

Later, Trunks apologizes to Chronoa and the Future Warrior for the position he put them in and thanks them for stopping him from altering history. Elder Kai and Chronoa comment on allowing Trunks reunion with Future Gohan remain a part of Future Trunks' timeline as Future Gohan willingly chose to accept his fate and heroically died fighting the Androids as he had in the original history.

Decisive Battle with Majin Buu Saga

During the battle with Majin Buu in Age 774, Trunks witnesses his father's relapse into villainy as Majin Vegeta. Trunks is taken aback by how far his father was willing to go in order to settle his rivalry with Goku. After Vegeta sacrifices himself in an attempt to stop Buu and the Future Warrior returns to the Time Nest, Elder Kai states it must have been hard seeing his father like that, though Trunks being aware of his father's villainous past and prideful personality is not too surprised ando admits he is fine and proud that he is Vegeta's son.

Trunks next task is fixing the altered history with Janemba and goes to Hell where he is confronted by Dark Super Janemba and a mysterious Masked Saiyan but their power is too much for him. The Future Warrior arrives to find Trunks severely injured and returns to the Time Nest to recover from the battle where Chornoa says that he is in stable condition though she decides it is best to let him rest and recuperate.

The Emperor's Return Saga

Eventually Chronoa and Elder Kai discover their has been a history change in Age 779 during Frieza's revenge.

Trunks notices strange interference with the Time Nest's communications system which he attributes to Golden Frieza's immense power which he himself is astonished by.

Before Earth was destroyed, Trunks manages to arrive in the nick of time to save the Future Warrior by bringing them back to Age 852. Trunks reveals the interference in communications was caused by Towa hacking the Time Nest's communications system and altering her voice to make herself sound like Chronoa in order to deceive Beerus and Whis in leaving Age 779 preventing them from assisting Goku and the others as in the original history.

The Masked Saiyan Saga

Hoping to get ahead of them for once, Trunks remembers Bardock and concludes that Towa and Mira must be manipulating him. Trunks decides to investigate the Genocide of the Saiyans in Age 737 in the hopes it may lead them to discover what happened to Bardock. In Age 737, Frieza attacks Planet Vegeta and Bardock with his Supernova. However, they observe Towa create a wormhole that saves Bardock from death. Trunks and the Future Warrior follow Towa and Mira's past selves to a ruined planet in an unknown timeline in Age ???. Trunks recognizes the planet as Earth before wondering which timeline they are in. However, before they can ponder this further Towa appears. Trunks attacks her only for his punch to be blocked by the Masked Saiyan. Trunks realize this Towa as the one who has been altering history and not her past self whom they had been chasing. Mira appears and joins the Masked Saiyan to confront the two Time Patrollers.

Towa creates a wormhole to a inescapable Time Rift which she attempts to use to dispose of Trunks and the Future Warrior. However they are knocked out of the wormhole by a ki blast from the now freed Bardock. Bardock tells Mira never to underestimate a Saiyan's Power before pulling himself and Mira into the wormhole Towa created. Towa is devastated and angered by the loss of Mira and reveals her ace in the hole, the Masked Future Warrior, Trunks brainwashed partner. This revelation causes Trunks to realize that she used knowledge obtained from his captured and brainwashed partner to hack into the Time Nest's communications in Age 852 as well as explaining why they hadn't been able to contact his partner. However despite enchanting the Masked Future Warrior with the Supervillain power-up Towa and the Masked Future Warrior are defeated and Trunks old partner is freed.

Warrior from the Demon World Saga

Trunks and the Future Warrior both have trouble remembering what happened and Chronoa tells them to think things clearly though both she and Elder Kai are revealed to have no memory of the original Future Warrior save for a lingering suspicion something is wrong. Trunks looks at the mask they brought back and it helps restore the memory of his partner allowing him to realize the source of the change is in the scroll for Age 850 where they see Towa kill Shenron: Xeno before Trunks past self can make the wish that summons the Future Warrior to Toki Toki City and join the Time Patrol preventing them from playing their critical role in saving history during the Demigra Incident which resulted in massive history changes.

Trunks hands the scroll to the Future Warrior ordering them to stop Towa while he and the two Supreme Kais handle the situation in Age 852. The Future Warrior returns to the future in Age 852, as Trunks prepares to make his wish, noting that the Time Patrol needs power like theirs. Back in Age 852, history is revealed to have successfully been corrected.

Suddenly, Chronoa is attacked from behind by Towa who having managed to steal Tokitoki's egg, reveals it has enough power to break the seal on Demon Realm and cretaes a wormhole to free Mira from the Time Rift. Mira blast Trunks knocking him into the Future Warrior. Just as Mira is about to finish off the Future Warrior, the Toki Toki City Hero appears and shields the Future Warrior from Mira's blast. The hero encourage the Future Warrior to follow afar Mira and Towa as they flee with the egg through another wormhole, before collapsing from their injuries. The warrior ends up back in Age ???, where they are connected by Trunks who reveals that the Earth in this unknown timeline is under Towa and Mira's complete control thus the Time Patrol is unable to send any help, meaning they must confront Towa and Mira on their own.

Trunks watches helplessly as Towa is absorbed along with Tokitoki's Egg causing Mira to transform into his Final Form. Eventually Mira's power falters, allowing Goku to remove Tokitoki's Egg using his Dragon Fist before telling the Future Warrior to finish him off. Mira is killed resulting in both his and Towa's deaths in Age ??? while Goku and the Future Warrior triumphantly return to Age 852 with Tokitoki's Egg. Trunkss greet the Future Warrior to congratulate them on defeating Mira and putting an end to Towa's schemes. To celebrate the return of Tokitoki's Egg and the defeat of the Time Breakers, Chronoa decides to hold a feast. Trunks and everyone enjoy themselves at the feast provided by Shenron.

Epilogue

After the feast, Goku wonders who is stronger, and Trunks asserts that he is stronger than the two Future Warriors as he has been a Time Patroller longer than either of them. However, Elder Kai refutes his claims using Goku surpassing his elder brother Raditz as an example that being more experienced or older doesn't make one stronger. Eventually everyone decides a fight can settle the matter but Beerus tells Goku to wait his turn and let to two warriors fight first, causing Trunks to admonish Goku when he childishly complains, causing everyone to laugh.

Unknown History Saga

While investigating the five large Rifts in Time contained inside Time Miniatures in Conton City, the Future Warrior discovers a Distorted Time Egg in each rift.

Inside the rift they see Bardock as he confronts Mira to make him pay for brainwashing him and modifying his body against his will. After the battle, Bardock is no where to be seen as the defeated Mira regains consciousness and admits to himself that he lost.

Back in the Time Vault, Trunks is amazed that Bardock managed to defeat Mira but wonders what will happen to Bardock now as when Mira regained consciousness Bardock was no longer there. Trunks notes that the battle was fought with such sheer intensity that if the rift did rupture it wouldn't actually be a surprise and he could have been sucked into a whole other dimension. However he also says that he's heard that turning Super Saiyan 3 so suddenly could have obliterated him. She thanks Trunks for his help in investigating the matter with Bardock and that he did really great.

Battle With Universe Six Saga

Trunks and the two Future Warriors are summoned to deal with a history change in Age 779 of the main timeline during the Battle With Universe Six Saga.

The 2nd Future Warrior stays behind to assist Trunks, who transformed to his Super Saiyan Rage form as he battles the powered up Goku Black and Zamasu.

After Goku and Vegeta fuse into Vegito, he fights and almost destroys Zamasu, however like in the original timeline he defuses prematurely, and Grotesque almost kills Goku and Vegeta. Future Trunks steps in wielding his Light Sword and begins to absorb the energy from the Spirit Bomb formed of the remaining Earthlings, however, it is still not enough because Zamasu is still under the Supervillain power up. Future Trunks claims that he is alive because of everyone who helped him and helping each other is what means to be human before noticing the energy coming from the Earthlings, calling for more power when he realizes it is not enough. Suddenly, the time rift previously opened by Black begins to overflow with energy from various timelines. Future Trunks wonders where the energy is coming from, it turned out to be from Gohan and Piccolo in the main timeline; Trunks, Goku, and Pan in the GT timeline; Future Gohan and a bewildered Teen Future Trunks in an undetermined future timeline, and Trunks in the Time Nest is Age 852. Future Trunks channels it into his sword to create the Sword of Hope which allows him to destroy Grotesque Zamasu with his Final Hope Slash like in the original timeline.

Future Trunks realizes the energy came from the rift in time Black had created which disappears and wonders how he can ever repay everyone who helped him. Trunks enters and explains he noticed they were correcting history earlier and correctly surmises it was connected to his "crime" of altering history. However, Chronoa explains while his crime was indeed a grave one, it is far outweighed by all the good his actions have done and notes were it not for his work as a Time Patroller the Time Nest would have been destroyed a long time ago. Despite giving Trunks a chance to leave the Time Patrol, he explains while he is thankful for her concern he actually enjoys his work and has made good friends as well as growing found of life in the Time Nest and Conton City. Chronoa and Elder Kai are relieved as Chronoa states they'd be lost without him, though Elder Kai is dismayed by her frankness. Chronoa even admits she had a feeling he'd agree to stay and states he can no longer take it back as it is now recorded in the official history, though Trunks simply laughs and says he just can't say no to her. Chronoa welcomes him back aboard now that he has official decided to stay of his own free will.

Chronoa mentions seeing "Little" Trunks and Goten playing with them earlier, so Trunks and the warrior decide to go ask them about the figures.

At the Hero Colosseum they walk in as Kid Trunks beats Goten in a figure battle. Trunks greets his counterpart who asks him and the warrior if they are their to figure battle, though Trunks is confused.

Trunks notes their luck and tells Mr. Satan that he is perfect to appear in a commercial to promote the Hero Colosseum. Trunks says his mother will contact Mr. Satan about the commercial though Mr. Satan sarcastically suggests he might be too busy having lost a battle against the Future Warrior.

Power

Manga and Anime

In the manga, during his early days of training, even as a Super Saiyan, Future Trunks was unable to defeat base Future Gohan. Right before Future Trunks heads back to warn the Z Fighters of the Android threat, it is said by Future Bulma that he has become as strong as Future Gohan was.

When Future Trunks first appears on-screen, using his Super Saiyan form, he is able to easily overpower both Mecha Frieza and King Cold. Gohan describes Super Saiyan Future Trunks as having as large a ki as Super Saiyan Goku had on Namek.

While training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber with Vegeta, Future Trunks achieves the level of Super Saiyan Second Grade. His strength increases drastically to the point Vegeta says that Future Trunks is only a little bit weaker than him. At this point (in the anime only), Future Trunks is able to defeat Semi-Perfect Cell just by using his regular Super Saiyan form, though in the manga he requires his Super Saiyan Second Grade state like Vegeta does. It is later revealed that Future Trunks was holding back a lot of power and is in fact stronger than Vegeta, with Krillin believing that Future Trunks could defeat Perfect Cell. In Super Saiyan Third Grade, Cell says that Future Trunks is stronger than him in his Perfect Form, but can not win because he sacrificed his speed.

Future Trunks trains again with Vegeta in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and they increase in power enough to become the only two Z Fighters capable of holding their own in a fight with a Cell Jr., using their Super Saiyan forms instead of the advanced states they previously used. By the time Future Trunks goes back to the future, he is strong enough in Super Saiyan form to easily destroy Future Android 18, Future Android 17, and Future Imperfect Cell.

Future Trunks' full power

Future Trunks unleashes his full power

Future Trunks became much stronger thanks to continuous training and extra guidance under Future Shin, able to defeat Future Dabura as a Super Saiyan in the anime. In the manga, after Future Shin unlocked his dormant power with the ritual, Future Trunks became able to effortlessly wield the Z Sword. While only able to hold his own against Future Dabura as a Super Saiyan, he completely overwhelmed Future Dabura upon achieving Super Saiyan 2.

Later, when Future Trunks arrived in the past Goku and Vegeta assumed that it was Majin Buu who had defeated him. Future Trunks was shown to be able to fight on par with Super Saiyan 2 Goku in the same form - causing Goku to note that Future Trunks even is stronger than Gohan was at the Cell Games in the manga. In the anime, while he was no match for Super Saiyan 3 Goku, the older Saiyan along with Beerus and Whis are highly impressed with the power Future Trunks has. In the manga, he revealed he could enhance his Super Saiyan 2 power to practically equal Goku's Super Saiyan 3 power.

Thanks to training in the past, Future Trunks' power is greatly increased.[18] Future Trunks as a Super Saiyan 2, proves strong enough to take on Future Zamasu, who was unable to land a single blow in return and would have won the fight had it not been for Future Zamasu's immortality. In the manga, Goku states that strength-wise Future Zamasu is weaker than Future Trunks. Future Trunks was also able to best Goku Black in a sword duel, send him flying back with an attack, and also just survive Super Saiyan Rosé Goku Black's fully charged Black Kamehameha.

In the anime, back in the present, in his base state he spars with Super Saiyan Trunks briefly. While Trunks appears to be marked from the battle and exhausted, Future Trunks showed no sign of exhaustion at all.

After achieving Super Saiyan Rage, the power this new form puts out startles both Black and Future Zamasu and allows Future Trunks to begin to gain the upper hand against Super Saiyan Rosé Black, prompting Future Zamasu to interfere. Future Trunks continues to battle both of them at exactly the same time. In the manga, the powered up Super Saiyan 2 Future Trunks manages to hold off Black long enough for Goku and Vegeta to return to the future, with Black powering up to his Super Saiyan Rosé form to take down Trunks - though Future Trunks is unable to fight back.

In his third match against the two (after isolating the pair), Super Saiyan Rage Future Trunks held his own against Black's Super Saiyan Rosé form and eventually pushed him back with a charged up Galick Gun. Considering his remaining energy after dealing with Black, Future Trunks fought evenly and managed to get the upper hand against Future Zamasu using just his Super Saiyan 2 form, and was confident that his next technique can obliterate the immortal being, however he was easily defeated by a flank attack from Black - who revealed that Future Trunks' previous all out attack on him would at most leave a bruise.

During the fight with the Fused Zamasu, upon seeing his father injured, he powers up further with Shin commenting on his huge increase in power but still wasn't able to take him on. He engaged in a beam struggle with Fused Zamasu, and with Vegeta's assistance, they were able to overcome him.

During the final battle after Vegito's fusion broke, Future Trunks creates a newly minted ki blade. With his new blade, Future Trunks lashes out at Fused Zamasu with new filled hope while slowly and unknowingly gathering the ki from all the remaining people left on Earth. After Goku and Vegeta give all their remaining power to Future Trunks, he absorbs this power into himself, transforming his blade into a Sword of Hope. With this new blade and power, Future Trunks manages to shatter Fused Zamasu's ki blade and slices him in half. Before Future Trunks departs to the future, Vegeta says he's proud that his son is now at such a great level of power and Goku states that Trunks is strong enough now to defeat any enemy.

Super Dragon Ball Heroes

During the Prison Planet Saga, in the anime opening, base Future Trunks is shown to be on par with base Goku and Vegeta in their three way sparring match. In the game, while in his base form and wearing ki-sealing handcuffs Future Trunks is able to defeat final form Cooler.

In the anime, even while wearing ki-sealing handcuffs, Super Saiyan Future Trunks is able to hold an advantage over Super Saiyan: Berserk Goku in battle. Later Super Saiyan Future Trunks is easily defeated by Cunber. Later, alongside his father, Super Saiyan Future Trunks was able to pressure Oren and Kamin, who previously began overwhelming Hit, Cabba, Caulifla, and Kale.

Super Saiyan Trunks v Buu

Super Saiyan Future Trunks takes down Ghost Kid Buu

In the manga, Super Saiyan Future Trunks appears to have an advantage over Bojack, however he is almost defeated due to dropping his guard after assuming he killed him. Base Future Trunks is able to briefly hold off restrained Cunber's shadows hands and afterwards Super Saiyan Future Trunks is able to easily take down the Ghost Warrior Kid Buu while also fighting Ghost Warriors Turles and Lord Slug. However, he is unable to put them down for good as the three Ghost Warriors regenerate via Destron Gas.

Films

In Super Android 13, Future Trunks battles against Android 14 and Android 15 at the same and struggles while being outnumbered. When he ends up fighting just Android 14 alone, he continues to be on the losing end of the battle until he transforms into Super Saiyan. Super Saiyan Future Trunks is able to prevail in his fight against the Android by destroying him with his sword. He is soon defeated by Super Android 13 who was far too powerful for the Saiyan.

In Broly - The Legendary Super Saiyan, Future Trunks (along with Goku, Gohan, Piccolo, and Vegeta) was no match at all against Broly's power. However, the energy that he, Gohan, Piccolo, and Vegeta contributed helped Goku gain more than enough power to defeat the maniacal Saiyan.

In Bojack Unbound, Future Trunks in his base form was able to handle Tien Shinhan while holding back (as Tien wanted to give the fans a good show), before he overpowers him by turning Super Saiyan; during the fight with Kogu, Trunks held his own while on the defensive until he was forced to transform and killed the rogue swordsman. He was easily ambushed and fell unconscious by Bojack himself. Later in the movie after regaining consciousness, he fights Zangya on equal footing, until he was ensnared by Bujin's Psychic Needles, and was later defeated by Bojack's Dirty Criminal technique, in which he does survive (an attack that was supposed to kill him after Bojack says "die now").

OVAs

In Dragon Ball: Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans, Future Trunks easily kills a few demons with a powerful icicle shaped as a blade. Later, he assisted the others in their fight against the Ghost Warrior's (which consisted of Frieza, Turles, Slug, and Cooler); his opponent was Frieza. During the final battle against Hatchiyak, he proved far too powerful for them, until they combined their strongest attacks in a beam struggle against the Tuffle (with Future Trunks performing the Burning Attack).

Video games

In Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai - Another Road, Future Trunks is able to defeat Future Dabura, and later states that he could destroy Future Good Buu, showing that he had become far more powerful than during the Cell Games. During the game, Trunks was capable of defeating not only Future Dabura, but perfect puppets of Final form Frieza and Perfect Cell in his base form.

In Dragon Ball Xenoverse, Trunks: Xeno's power is shown to have drastically improved over his last appearance. Upon meeting the Future Warrior for the first time Trunks takes all of his attacks and shows no signs of damage or fatigue. Later with the Future Warrior assisting him, Super Saiyan Trunks was able to fight on par with Mira (suppressed), a being whom was confident enough to believe he could beat Super Saiyan 3 Goku and Majin Buu at the same time easily even while suppressing his power. Later while working with the Future Warrior they were able hold off Beerus and Whis - who were testing their power. Shortly after, while he was possessed by Demigra not only was he able to briefly fight the Future Warrior on his own, but he was also able to resist Demigra's control.

Trunks: Xeno has greatly improved in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2. In The Ginyu Force Strikes Saga, Captain Ginyu (in Trunks: Xeno's body) noted a very high level of power and decided that his body was worth keeping. In The Galactic Emperor Saga, Trunks: Xeno (in his base form) and the new Future Warrior were able to defeat Lord Slug and Turles (who were powered up from the Demon Realm enhanced-Fruit of the Tree of Might). During the Android Warfare Saga,, Trunks: Xeno was able to help the Future Warrior fight off the Meta Coolers. In the A Desperate Future Saga, he, Future Gohan, and the 2nd Future Warrior were able to simultaneously stand against Mira and overpowered him with their combined might enhanced by their fighting spirit. In the Masked Saiyan Saga Trunks: Xeno and the 2nd Future Warrior were able to fight and beat both the Masked Saiyan and Mira, then afterwards the previous 1st Future Warrior (under Towa's control), and Towa simultaneously. However during the Warrior from the Demon World Saga, he is easily subdued by Mira who had developed a fighting spirit of his own and was enhanced by the Supervillain power up. In the Unknown History Saga, Trunks: Xeno was able to help Future Gohan to finally defeat both Android 17 and 18. In the Epilogue, Trunks: Xeno believes he is stronger than the two Future Warriors as he is more experienced and has been a Time Patroller longer than either of them but Old Kai refutes his boosting noting that being more experienced wouldn't necessarily make him the better fighter.

The Dragon Ball Z: The Anime Adventure Game states that Future Trunks has a power level of 7,000,000 in base form and 17,500,000 as a Super Saiyan during the Trunks Saga.

Future Trunks as a Super Saiyan

In the manga, Future Trunks is already able to achieve Super Saiyan when shown training his mentor Future Gohan, making it somewhat likely he simply is able to transform naturally, as his present timeline self did; he however struggles with even Future Gohan's base state in the form, which may suggest that it was rather recently reached due to its meager power, despite his harsh training. In the TV special The History of Trunks, Future Trunks transforms for the first time after seeing his mentor Future Gohan killed at the hands of the androids in his timeline. The energy involved in the transformation causes Future Trunks' hair to stand on end and turn a golden color. His facial expression is sharpened, and the color of his eyes turns a bright emerald green. When in this state Trunks' power level increases dramatically. Even so, he always maintains his sincere, serious demeanour. He is weaker than his present counterpart as a Super Saiyan, prior to becoming Xeno/Super Trunks, due to inexperience.

In Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, this form is called Future Super Saiyan which is depicted as a variant of the Super Saiyan Awoken Skill which is used by Future Trunks and Future Gohan (and can be obtained by the 2nd Future Warrior after completing the Unknown History Saga). In Xenoverse 2, the Future Super Saiyan form recovers ki faster than any other Super Saiyan form, though the user lacks the ability to access higher forms.

Future Trunks as a Super Saiyan Second Grade

After their defeat at the hands of Android 17 and Android 18, he and Vegeta underwent severe training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, during which Trunks gained the ability to take this form. When taking this form, Future Trunks' muscles swell, making his body several sizes larger than normal, and his power and speed are elevated beyond his previous Super Saiyan limits. He first used this form to fight against Semi-Perfect Cell, in an attempt to keep him from absorbing Android 18 and reaching completion. This fight scene only happened in a filler part of the anime, while in the manga, he was about to fight Semi-Perfect Cell but was knocked away by Vegeta, and when he struck Vegeta with his energy blast to repel him away in surprise, but was blinded by Cell's Solar Flare and was forced to see Cell complete himself inside a barrier when his vision returned. After witnessing Vegeta's defeat at Perfect Cell's hands, he transformed to Super Saiyan Third Grade, but lost due to his severe speed decrease. As a result, Trunks entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber a second time to focus on increasing his strength as a regular Super Saiyan to its highest possible point.

Future Trunks as a Super Saiyan Third Grade

Future Trunks is usually referred to as Super Trunks while in this state. It is another form he gained while training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, and he utilizes this state while fighting the recently completed Perfect Cell. In this form, Future Trunks' muscles swell even larger than in his Super Saiyan Second Grade, his hair gets spikier and larger, and his power grows immensely. In this stage, however, the heavily increased muscle-mass comes at a cost of reduced speed and mobility, and because of the massive energy required to maintain this form, it is not sustainable for long periods of time, which ultimately puts him in a life-threatening disadvantage. Future Trunks also temporarily uses this form in order to trick Vegeta in Dragon Ball Super.

Future Trunks as Super Saiyan 2

In Dragon Ball Super, Future Trunks first uses this transformation during his spar with Goku after arriving in the present timeline. He returns to use this transformation during his training with Vegeta, and later several times against Goku Black and Future Zamasu. In the anime this form is identical to his Super Saiyan form, other than having Super Saiyan 2's sparks. This is probably an animation error as Goku's Super Saiyan 2 is also seen with the same hair style as his regular Super Saiyan hair style.

Future trunks super saiyan 2 manga

Super Saiyan 2 Future Trunks in the manga

In the manga, Future Trunks' hair spikes up completely as a Super Saiyan 2, and is also distinguished by lacking the two thin strands of hair that are present in the lower form. Goku notes that Future Trunks is far stronger than Gohan was previously. It is revealed that Future Trunks first achieved the form upon witnessing the death of Future Kibito at the hands of Future Dabura. This plus the dedication to rid his future world of all evil, as it has been through enough, caused Future Trunks to attain the form, which gave him enough power to overwhelm Future Dabura and destroy him along with Future Babidi with a single Burning Attack. He is never seen to use regular Super Saiyan again after achieving Super Saiyan 2.

Future Trunks originally only displayed this form in various video-games including Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3, Dragon Ball Z: Infinite World, Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle, Dragon Ball Heroes, and later in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2. In Xenoverse 2, Future Trunks' Dragon Ball Super incarnation is unique in that he has a Super Saiyan 2 Awoken Skill that is not stacked with the Super Saiyan Awoken Skill.

Future Trunks powers up his Super Saiyan 2 form to Super Saiyan 3 level power

Not wanting to settle to his limits as a Super Saiyan 2, Future Trunks displays mastery of the form, with him in the manga being able to power up so much that his strength matches Super Saiyan 3 Goku's, as noted by Vegeta. With this huge power increase, Goku was forced to momentarily become a Super Saiyan God to defeat Future Trunks with one blow. After further empowering his Super Saiyan 2 form, first through training with Vegeta, and then through rage, he became capable of holding off Super Saiyan Rosé Goku Black on multiple occasions, albeit for an extremely brief period of time.

Super Saiyan Rage

Main article: Super Saiyan Rage

"If you call it a sin, then I don't care."
— Future Trunks to Zamasu

Rage Trunks

Super Saiyan Rage Future Trunks

In the Dragon Ball Super anime, Future Trunks achieves an extremely powerful enhancement to the Super Saiyan 2 form. This powered up state is far superior to Future Trunks' standard Super Saiyan 2 form. This state - Super Saiyan Rage - possess upward pointed hair (similar to the Trunks' Super Saiyan 2 form in the manga), electric sparks like a standard Super Saiyan 2 and a golden aura - with a blue part inside the aura. In this state Future Trunks is referred to as "Super Trunks".

Future Trunks attained this powerful transformation during his final confrontation with Goku Black and Future Zamasu, causing Trunks to awaken a new energy inside of him. When Black and Future Zamasu cruelly put the blame on him for altering history, he couldn't accept it because all he wanted to do is save everyone. This pushes Future Trunks's rage over the limit and causes him to transform into Super Saiyan Rage.[19] He gains a much more bulky appearance during his transformation, but at the completion of this state his muscles shrink back to normal size (his footsteps crack the ground below him), his hair grows longer and much more spikier (similar to the Super Saiyan Second Grade form), he has a double gold and blue aura with lightning, and his eyes glow as his irises and pupils are no longer visible. Once fully adjusting to this power, Future Trunks' eyes return to normal and resemble the eyes of the standard Super Saiyan forms' green. His voice is also temporarily deepened in this form, further representing his changed demeanor.

While powered up in this state, he became powerful enough to hold off both Black and Future Zamasu by himself, a feat that only Goku himself was able to manage when enraged. Goku and Vegeta are confident enough in his new power to travel back to the past temporarily, leaving him to fend for himself against the two opponents while they searched for a way to defeat them. Also, he became a lot more resilient, taking powerful blows from Black and Zamasu and able to put the duo on the defensive on many occasions. By charging up a Galick Gun, Future Trunks was able to knock Goku Black uncounsious (though it was for a short period of time).

Future Trunks also became able to sense the ki of Goku and Vegeta despite them being in their Super Saiyan Blue forms (previously while training with Vegeta, Future Trunks noted he could not sense his ki as a Super Saiyan Blue). Additionally, he displayed the ability to channel his ki through other objects, mainly using this to generate a blade of pure energy from the remains of his broken sword.

In the manga, Future Trunks does not utilize this form, and instead further empowered his strengthened Super Saiyan 2 form, first through training with Vegeta, and then through rage, allowing him to hold off Super Saiyan Rosé Goku Black on multiple occasions.

When Super Saiyan Rage Future Trunks drew upon the power of everything still alive on the planet, he became immensely more powerful, gaining an aura of light blue energy similar to the Spirit Bomb. His sword also turned into the Sword of Hope - a white sword with light blue edges, larger in size and in the shape of a greatsword. This power was enough to slay Fused Zamasu.

Future Trunks can use this state in Xenoverse 2 by transforming into Super Saiyan 2, and then Sword of Hope.

In this form is called Trunks (Ball) and ironically is identical to his younger counterpart's ball that Demigra's Mirage used to anger Beerus in Xenoverse complete with a Capsule Corp. C.C. logo. Like Candy Vegito, Trunks (Ball) retains his ability to speak through telepathy and has some control over his ball form though in his case he bounces around constantly. Additionally he is vulnerable to being kicked as shown by the Future Warrior who can chose to kick Trunks (Ball) as their reaction to Trunks: Xeno being turned into a ball. Since only Buu can restore him to normal Trunks (Ball) convinces Buu to have a figure battle with the Future Warrior and if he doesn't like it Trunks (Ball) will play whatever he wants. The Future Warrior defeats Buu who enjoys the game and wants to play more as it is more fun than playing ball. Buu returns Trunks (Ball) back into Trunks: Xeno.

  • Turles & Lord Slug - In the altered timeline of Age 762, Trunks: Xeno and the 2nd Future Warrior overpower Dark Turles & Dark Lord Slug's combined energy wave with a combined Burning Attack/Energy Wave killing them.[5]
  • Future Android 17 & Future Android 18 - In the altered history of Age 780, Trunks: Xeno teams up with Future Gohan who's hidden power awakens due to Trunks: Xeno's presence causing Future Gohan to fear for his pupil's safety, strengthening Future Gohan's Super Saiyan form enough that he is able to destroy the Androids with Super Saiyan Trunks: Xeno assistance, preventing Future Gohan's death in Age 780 (the fate of this altered timeline is unrevealed).[5]


Trivia

  • Like the rest of his family (apart from Vegeta), Trunks' name is a pun on an undergarment.
  • Composer for the Funimation dub of the Dragon Ball Z, Bruce Faulconer, stated on his website that Future Trunks was his favorite Dragon Ball character.[22] American voice actor Christopher Sabat has agreed, saying that apart from Vegeta, Trunks is his favorite character from the series. He has liked how his character is "lone survivor of the apocalypse, son of the most angry and the most headstrong characters." He additionally liked Future Trunks' fights, such as the one in which he easily killed Frieza and his father.[23]
  • Despite having been officially stated that Goku was the one who defeated Frieza and King Cold in Cell's and Future Trunks' timeline, Cell implies that Future Trunks was as responsible for Frieza and King Cold's defeat in his/Trunks' timeline as he was in the main timeline while telling Piccolo about his origins as well as the cells that were infused to him.
  • Trunks and his father, Vegeta, were both killed by a Death Beam through the chest by a major supervillain. While Frieza used a normal death beam on Vegeta, Cell used a Full Power Death Beam on Trunks.
  • In the Character Illustrations section of the Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi series, it is stated that Future Trunks obtained his sword from Tapion, although this is contradicted in every other official source which has discussed its origin. Not to mention, in Budokai Tenkaichi 2 and 3, if Trunks and Tapion fight, they clearly recognize each other, Trunks even says "Long time, no see."
  • Future Trunks is referred to as Time Patrol Trunks in Dragon Ball Online and Trunks: Xeno in Dragon Ball Heroes, while retaining his name Future Trunks in the Xenoverse series.
  • Super Saiyan 2 Trunks: Xeno is currently a non-playable character in Dragon Ball Heroes.
  • Due to time travel, Future Trunks has multiple incarnations/counterparts in addition to his main timeline counterpart. It was the Future Trunks from Cell's Timeline who caused other timelines to be distorted.
    • The Future Trunks from Cell's Timeline who was killed by Cell.
    • Future Trunks from Dragon Ball Super who's timeline was devastated by Fused Zamasu and Erased by Future Zeno, forcing him and Future Mai to live in the future timeline created when Whis warned Future Beerus.
    • Future Trunks who lives in the Future Timeline created by Whis' warning Future Beerus. Lives with his timeline's Future Mai. Sharing this timeline with their counterparts from the erased Future Timeline.
      • It is implied in the Xenoverse series that this counterpart may have eventually been recruited by Chronoa to be her attendant and works to defend history as a member of the Time Patrol (otherwise known as Trunks: Xeno) as his timeline still exists, however this was disproven in Xenoverse 2's 4th DLC Pack as Trunks: Xeno has zero memory of encountering a 2nd version of himself. It's possible he never met the Future Trunks from Super.
    • Future Trunks has a younger counterpart mentioned in Xenoverse 2 who exists in the altered future timeline created by Trunks: Xeno which saves Future Gohan in Age 780.
      • It is also implied in Xenoverse 2 that Trunks: Xeno has two alternate counterparts of his own, one being the Trunks: Xeno who obeyed Chronoa and did not prevent Future Gohan from dying and the Trunks: Xeno who prevented Future Gohan's death which may have created a new future timeline provided that Chronoa chose not to erase or fix said change.
  • When Future Trunks is tagged out in Budokai Tenkaichi 2, he says "back to the future"; a reference to the time traveling film Back to the Future.
  • Trunks is the second to last person to have his power level stated with the use of a scouter, being only 5 because he suppressed his true power to avoid detection and mislead Frieza and King Cold.
  • Angelo's hair from Dragon Quest VIII strongly resembles Future Trunks' base form with shorter hair.
    • Akira Toriyama was the art director for the Dragon Quest games, so it is highly possible he based his designs on Trunks.
  • The Yu-Gi-Oh! card character Tyler the Great Warrior seems based on Future Trunks.[24]
  • Future Trunks has killed both villains that killed his father. He killed Frieza in the present timeline and the Androids in his own future timeline, who both killed Vegeta. Also, in killing Frieza he avenged the deaths of his paternal grandfather and the Saiyans killed by Frieza during the Genocide of the Saiyans, which is somewhat fitting considering his royal Saiyan heritage.
  • According to the Databooks:
    • Trunks' favorite food is convenience store bento.[4]
    • Trunks' favorite vehicle is the time machine.
  • Trunks has altered the flow of time twice in his life, radically changing events and saving Goku on both occasions. The first is when he went back in time to save Goku from the heart virus and killing Frieza and King Cold as well, drastically altering the course of the future. The second time Trunks saved Goku, he wasn't aware he saved him when he retreated to the past to get help from Goku, Vegeta, and Gohan to fight Goku Black. Trunks unknowingly traveled back to a point to where Goku hasn't met Zamasu yet. Due to Trunks' interference, Beerus and Whis caught wind of Zamasu's evil heart and were able to stop him from carrying out his plans and saving Goku from what was supposed to be his death and the creation of Goku Black.
    • Three times if one counts Trunks: Xeno saving his mentor Future Gohan from dying in Age 780 in the Unknown History Saga of Xenoverse 2, though this timeline may have been fixed/erased depending on whether or not Chronoa chose to do so (as her final decision is left ambiguous).
  • Trunks has fought with and defeated a version of every major villain from Dragon Ball Z. Upon arrival to the present timeline, he kills Mecha Frieza, along with his father. While in the present, he kills an unborn Present Cell with Krillin, and upon returning to his timeline after the Cell Games, he kills Future Cell. Roughly 7–9 years after this, Trunks fights and kills both Future Dabura and Future Babidi, effectively disabling Future Innocent Buu.
  • As of the events of Xenoverse 2, Future Trunks is effectively responsible for killing King Cold and both of his sons, as he kills Cooler in Xenoverse 2 when he reprograms the Big Gete Star to self-destruct, which ends up killing Cooler in his Meta-Cooler Core form.
  • In Dragon Ball Fusions in Ziku-kan Quest: "Darkness Cometh", it is shown that Pan thinks more highly of Future Trunks than his main timeline counterpart (which includes Kid Trunks and his adult self from the GT Timeline) and she even passingly refers to him as the "Cool" Trunks.
  • In Dragon Ball Fusions, Future Trunks is the first Saiyan/Human hybrid to attain a god form (Super Saiyan Blue).
  • Interestingly, in Xenoverse 2 DLC Pack 4, the Future Trunks in Dragon Ball Super is referred to by Chronoa as a different version of Trunks. Trunks: Xeno is stated to be the very same Future Trunks who was present during the Android and Cell saga. The Future Trunks of Dragon Ball Super is stated to have gone through the same events as Trunks: Xeno but was never recruited to the Time Patrol. That would make Trunks, in addition to already possessing numerous incarnations of himself throughout all the timelines, having four very different versions of himself. The original Future Trunks who lost his life from Cell, Future Trunks who exists during the Cell Saga who became Trunks: Xeno, his present timeline counterpart, and the Super version, also from the Cell Saga, who was never recruited by the Time Patrol. Trunks: Xeno also didn't know that Android 18 was married to Krillin and had a child, thus thinking that she is still evil, until being informed by Chronoa.
  • Future Trunks from Super is a lot more powerful compared to his other counterparts who only possessed the basic Super Saiyan. Unlike his other counterparts, he unfortunately lost the lives of his family and the people he knew due to Goku Black and Future Zamasu. In order to end the Project Zero Mortals, Future Zeno erased the entire timeline. This would mean he lost the existence of his family and the people, except Future Mai, in his own biological timeline.
  • Future Trunks holds the rank of "Commander" by Earth's Resistance in his timeline, and Trunks: Xeno is referred to as both Captain and Commander of the Time Patrol in the Xenoverse series.
  • Despite his close attachment to Future Gohan, Future Trunks does not seem particularly concerned with his his present timeline counterpart. For example, when Gohan was beaten senseless by Perfect Cell, Future Trunks does not frantically rush to his aid, only watching the younger version of his mentor suffer at Cell's hands.
  • When Future Trunks foretells of the Androids in the manga, he mentions them as Nos. 19 and 20. Because of Akira Toriyama's editor expressing dissatisfaction when they appeared, Toriyama created Androids 17 and 18 to be the androids Future Trunks foretold of, thus creating a plot hole. The plot hole is fixed in the anime, where Future Trunks doesn't mention them by name.
  • Future Trunks is the only character that met and fought against all 3 of Cell's forms.
  • The red bandanna Future Trunks wears around his neck in Dragon Ball Super resembles the one Bulma wore in Resurrection ‘F’ and Dragon Ball Super.
