Template:Character Time Patrol Trunks (タイム・パトロール・トランクス, Taimu Patorōru Torankusu) is the Saiyan and Human hybrid son of Vegeta and Bulma from the past. This incarnation of Dragon Ball's Trunks characters appears in the computer game Dragon Ball Online, with the role of mediating Time Machine Missions.

Time Patrol Trunks

Physically, Time Patrol Trunks looks just like the depictions of the two Trunks incanations in the manga; inheriting balanced features from his mother and father. However, what differs is that this depiction of Akira Toriyama's Trunks character dons informal martial arts clothes (primarily a trench coat with a green torso beneath), and a new sword. Furthermore, Time Patrol Trunks' hairstyle is reminiscent to Future Trunks' during his training with his mentor Future Gohan, rather than the less kept style it was worn in after he began wielding a sword.

Personality

Time Patrol Trunks is clearly as skilled and powerful as the other hybrid Saiyans affiliated to the Z Fighters. Being the primary face of his Time Patrol operation and desperate to seek warriors in the future, Time Patrol Trunks is dedicated to put an end to Miira's threat.

Biography

Time Patrol Trunks, as seen in-game

In press event, it is revealed that Trunks had already used the Time Machine for the purpose of defeating the Red Ribbon Androids and Cell in the past. 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 Trunks a stern warning for his actions. In order to redeem his wrong actions, Trunks took up the job of Time Patrol and he was warned by Future Dende and Future Piccolo that Miira was causing chaos throughout time and space. Trunks travels to Age 1000 in order to prevent Miira's reign in Age 2000. He makes his in-game debut during the player's tutorial of the game, where he appears in a cinematic cutscene: he lands at Kame House to dispatch of a group of Battle Armor-cladded cyborgs after a brief talk, even using a Burning Attack. He traveled from his timeline to seek the aid of warriors in the future (the players themselves) through having them complete Time Machine Quests. He is accompanied by a robot named Hope!

Techniques and special abilities

• Flight – The ability to fly with the use of ki. Time Patrol Trunks uses this skill to get to Kame House during every player's tutorial in Dragon Ball Online and during his use of the Burning Attack.
• Swordsmanship – Time Patrol Trunks excels in swordsmanship and carries a new, though somewhat similar to Future Trunks' sword in the Androids Saga.
• Burning Attack – Future Trunks' trademark technique. The version used by Time Patrol Trunks' differs in color and power to that if Future Trunks' in the manga/anime due to its use in base form. In preparation, he performs a series of rapid hand movements before connecting his thumbs and index fingers, and then fires a blue sphere of ki energy. This technique is performed by Time Patrol Trunks during his confrontation with the aforementioned group of cyborgs.

Trivia

• Like his other incarnations from the original manga, Time Patrol Trunks' name is pun on boxers.
• One of the first press releases tells point blank that it is the Future Trunks from the manga after he was last shown.
• His knowledge of time travel, use of a sword, and ability to use the Burning Attack technique suggests he is based on the character Future Trunks.
• If reviewing the timeline and taking the events of the original manga into consideration, it is clear that Time Patrol Trunks is neither of the two Trunks characters. It is known that Trunks alongside Goten created the Kikoukenjutsu Sword School around Age 805. This would put the two half-Saiyans in their mid-30s during the development of their school, and in their 50s by the time the Kikoukenjutsu school fended off remnants of the Frieza's Planet Trade Organization (an event that occurred in Age 820, before Miira's threat was known). If Future Trunks was still alive in his timeline, this would make him even older than the present timeline's Trunks. However, Time Patrol Trunks appears to be at the same age Future Trunks was during his manga debut.
  • However, his knowledge of time travel, use of a sword, and ability to use the Burning Attack suggests he is based on the character Future Trunks. Future Trunks and Time Patrol Trunks both enlist warriors from other timelines (the Z Fighters in the series and players in Dragon Ball Online, respectively) and are initially weaker than the enemies that require them to time travel (Future Android 17 and Future Android 18 in Future Trunks' case, and Miira for Time Patrol Trunks).
