Appearance[]

One-armed warrior in black anime

The Future Warrior in Black's cloaked appearance.

The Future Warrior appears as a tall, stern and muscular man missing his left arm and sporting a scar that runs down the left side of his face. Like his fellow Warriors in Black, he hides his identity with a hooded black cloak, as well as a brown masked undershirt to hide his mouth. He also wears dark-blue boots with yellowish stripes on the bottom edges.

After discarding his disguise, the Future Warrior appears to have his gi that he had worn similar to his father's, only in a different color palette, consisting of a closed black gi secured by a blue knot-tied obi over his waist, grey undershirt, brown pants, black wristbands, and black boots with grey stripes on the bottom edges.

Personality[]

This version of Future Gohan likely initially matched the main Future Gohan in terms of personality. However, he soon fell into despair over his weakness and inability to save his Future Bulma and Future Trunks from the Androids' attack. This extreme survivor's guilt caused him to pursue strength more than anything else and believe himself to be nothing without it, perhaps in an effort to become a better protector. Unfortunately, this also caused him to easily be swayed by Aeos' offer of power, though he retained his determination to never lose again when he became the Future Warrior in Black.

As the Future Warrior, he is mostly silent and acts on Aeos' behalf but displayed his real personality upon being confronted by Xeno Trunks, recognizing the face of his pupil and commending him for his strength but remarking that he retained his impatient tendencies when Trunks attempted to attack him for answers. During their proper bout, he revealed the extent of his corruption by showing his Dark Dragon Ball-enhanced form, displaying the lengths he was prepared to go to in his single-minded pursuit of power. Additionally, he seemed ready to fight Xeno Trunks to a potentially bitter end, fully willing to take down versions of his loved ones in order to achieve victory. In the manga, he attempted to downplay the body count of Aeos' goals by telling Xeno Trunks he sought to protect a singular, true timeline. When Xeno Trunks confronts him about the countless lives that would be lost, Future Gohan replies that he recognizes the limits what they can protect, though Xeno Trunks retorts that sacrifice is not an option, and upon eventually beating him, declares that he will protect every history in his stead. Future Gohan in turn commends him for his newfound strength.

Future Warrior in Black's One-Handed Kamehameha vs. Xeno Trunks' Masenko.

Xeno Trunks gets up and tells him that though he understands the Future Warrior's feelings and pain, he shouldn't continue since his reliance on one arm can't guarantee him victory. The Future Warrior in Black replies that he can't afford to lose to anyone anymore and prepares a One-Handed Kamehameha, to which Xeno Trunks responds with a Masenko. Unable to truly stand up to Xeno Trunks' power, the dark Future Gohan's Kamehameha is overwhelmed, and he sheds tears at yet another loss to his record before being struck by the Masenko, dropping to his knees and reverting to his base form. Equally saddened by the battle and the extent to which Future Gohan went to gain power, Xeno Trunks tells him his strength never used to come from such a dark place.

"This is a battle to protect the true history. I could not protect the future of my history, I lost everything to the Androids... the People of West City, Bulma and.. even you, Trunks. All of it because I was weak. So I was granted this power to protect those I can. So that when the true history is decided, I CAN PROTECT IT WITH MY OWN HAND THIS TIME!!'"
