"Trunks Steps In" (トランクスどう Torankusu Shidō, lit. "Trunks Starts Up") is the one hundred ninety first chapter of Dragon Ball Z and the three hundred eighty-fifth overall chapter of the Dragon Ball manga.

Cover[]

The cover of this chapter shows Vegeta landing in front of Perfect Cell, who is still in pain from Vegeta earlier attack blowing off a large part of him and his arm, while Future Trunks and Krillin float watching in the background, and Android 16 still lying on the ground.

Summary[]

Cell continues to scream in pain, having just had his arm and a chunk of his body blown off by Vegeta's Final Flash yelling that it hurts. Vegeta laughs at his success, and Krillin and Future Trunks are relieved that he managed to pull it off. Cell is in disbelief at his someone like him, who has achieved perfection, has been reduced to his current state, as he curses Vegeta, making him laugh more. However, Cell soon stops screaming and smirks, saying that he really had him fooled, causing Vegeta to cease laughing. Cell then reminded Vegeta that he has Piccolo's cells and proceeds to regenerate his body and arm, stunning Vegeta, Future Trunks, and Krillin. Cell then walks towards Vegeta, ready to shut him up for good.

In desperation, Vegeta fires a large ki blast at Cell, then a barrage of them, which spread across the entire island, pushing Future Trunks, but Cell unflinchingly walks through them and emerged from the smoke in front of Vegeta, sending him flying with a left punch to the face and to the ground. Cell walks over to Vegeta, who struggles to his feet and wincing from the pain, as Cell looks down at him. Cell then kicks him into the air, then flies up behind him, to hit him with an elbow smash to his back, driving him into the ground and knocking him out of the Super Saiyan Second Grade state and unconscious.

Krillin notices this, and sees that Vegeta is still alive. Cell calls Vegeta a fool and decides to put Vegeta out of his misery, but Krillin yells at Trunks that now's the time to step in. Trunks begins powering up, transforming into his Super Saiyan Third Grade form, breaking his hair tie, and his muscles and hair growing larger before Krillin's eyes.
