Trunks is a
fictional character in the
Animes
Dragon Ball Z and
Dragon Ball GT. He is the
Halfbreed Saiyan son of
Vegeta and
Bulma.
Future Trunks
This is the first Trunks we ever see in Dragon Ball Z, and he is from a
future alternate
dimension, where the
evil
Android 17 and
Android 18 are using the
Earth as a playground, doing what they wish, due to being the
strongest beings at the time. In this alternate future,
Vegeta died in the fight against the Androids, along with all of the
Z Fighters apart from
Gohan, who is his first mentor and martial arts teacher. As a result
Trunks did not know his father at all, as he was only an infant at the
time, and so when he finally meets his father in the past, he is seen to
be constantly trying to impress him.
Future Trunks travels back in time in order to warn
Goku about the Android threat in the future, but upon arrival he is
greeted by the
Mecha-Frieza with his father
King Cold. They had come to Earth in order to seek revenge upon Goku's
loved ones. Trunks, then a young teenager, did not look like much of a
threat to Frieza, and he freely told him so. Frieza was then given three
oppurtunities to kill Trunks, but Trunks was able to block and dodge the
attacks with ease. Trunks then performs what he calls his
Burning Attack, which is followed up by his sword. Frieza was once
again in more than one place at the same time. Had Trunks not shown up at
that time the people of Earth would have surely been killed, because Goku
was still on the way to Earth at this time.
When they train in the
Hyperbolic Time Chamber together Trunks surpasses Vegeta in power, due
to being a
Halfbreed Saiyan. Throughout the year that was spent in the Time
Chamber, Trunks realised Vegeta's real sense of
Saiyan pride. With this knowledge in mind, Trunks hid his true
power level to spare what pride Vegeta had left. Trunks had managed to
reach what is called a Ultimate Super Saiyan, where the Saiyan is still
Super Saiyan 1, but have trained a lot and are on their way to Super
Saiyan 2. In this form, if they power up enough, their muscles will expand
a lot and because of this their speed decreases.
Trunks is the first Saiyan to take on
Perfect Cell with the intention of destroying him, although Trunks'
power was enough to deal significant damage to Cell, Trunks was too bulky
and slow, and this gave Cell the upper hand. Trunks quickly realised that
he was too slow and gave up hope right before Cell's eyes. The battle
hungry
Bio Android, however, was entrigued at how strong Trunks had become in
such a short period of time and posed a challege to the strongest fighters
on Earth (Z
Fighters, Vegeta and
Android 16) to train as much as they could over a period of nine days.
Then at the end of these nine days all the fighters of Earth must compete
in the
Cell Games. Trunks then left the battlefield and spread the word about
the Cell Games, then when he reaches
Kami Tower he declares a position in the "Hyperbolic Time Chamber" and
trains for a whole year in one day.
When Trunks emerges from his training he is powerful enough to compete
in the games and although he wouldn't be able to take on Cell alone, he is
definitely strong enough to return to his time and destroy
Android 17 and
Android 18. With nothing to lose Trunks left with all the fighters of
Earth to where Cell awaits. Trunks never gets the opportunity to kill
Perfect Cell and during the fight between Gohan and the Bio Android,
Trunks is impaled through the chest with a powerful energy blast and left
for dead.
Trunks remains dead until he is revived by
Dende's new
Shen Long at Kami's Tower well after Perfect Cell is dead. After the
celebrations Trunks says his goodbyes and returns to his time and
dimension. After reuniting with his mother,
Bulma, Trunks sees a News update on Android 17 and Android 18 and
quickly powers up. Meanwhile the Androids are about to kill another
innocent man, when all of a sudden Trunks hurtles a very accurate energy
attack, narrowly missing Android 17. The cocky Androids foolishly
underestimate Trunks and try to rush him. Trunks easily dodges all their
attacks and punishes them duely, when he obliterates Android 18 in a point
blank energy blast. Android 17 looks on in disbelief and his feelings soon
turn to hatred when the outpowered Android charges Trunks again, but he
too is terminated with ease.
The completely unscathed Trunks returns to his home and everything
seems at peace with the Earth except for one thing, Cell. The determined
Bio Android in his weakest form, still roaming around for the now
non-existent Androids, comes across Trunks and Bulma saying their goodbyes
before the
Time Machine. Trunks is about to leave when he senses Cell and sends
Bulma away, Trunks then turns toward Cell and begins to taunt him with his
knowledge from the alternate past. Trunks informs Cell that he has killed
the Androids from the current time, and that the Androids of the alternate
past have been destroyed as well, so all of his hopes for Perfection are
crushed.
The weak and cocky Cell approaches the Halfbreed Saiyan under the false
impression that he is as weak as Trunks was when he initially went back in
time and warned Goku. The fight then begins and Cell is clearly outclassed
as Trunks avoids Cell's every attack. Trunks then takes action by grabbing
Cell's tail and swinging him around in a circle, building up momentum, and
then hurtling him high into the air. Cell then realises that he has no
hope against the new Trunks, and begins to prepare a
Kamehameha Wave large enough to destroy the planet, knowing all too
well that he could survive in space. Cell begins the formalities of the
attack but is interrupted when Trunks unleashes all of his strength into a
massive destructive wave of energy which incinerates Cell.
