DragonBall Z US Version: Trunks Appears

Here's the scene where Trunks appears for the first time. The scene was mirrored.
Music from Bruce Faulconer.

[@briantaylor8306]

What I always loved about this debut was how they strung it out. First you see his boots descend, then you see them land, then you see his torso from the ground up, then we see him sheath the sword, then you see the Capsule Corp insignia on his sleeve, THAT'S how you keep up the anticipation and deliver an iconic entrance. Whoever thought to do that, really sold the idea that Trunks was cool and mysterious even before his character was developed.

[@geethamadhuri4.033]

Dbz is life nd goku (kakarot ) is really a true hero nd my true hero forever...!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@geethamadhuri4.033]

Future trunks is best 🔥

[@AndrewAce.]

Probably one of the most hype and enigmatic moments in all of DB...

[@amazin7006]

The problem is they did this with everything back then, I remember the freiza fight had 8 minutes straight of Goku and Frieza staring at each other with no dialogue for an entire episode.

[@Mosdope2006]

I feel sort of bad for people who didn't see this in order. Frieza was the most ruthless character on the show up until that point and it took forever to beat him so when Trunks descended from the heavens like that my brothers and I were H.Y.P.E!

[@souljaboyisbad]

Agreed. I feel bad for myself ;) wish I could reset my memory and start from raditz to cell

[@doctorstorm9808]

Vegeta solo at first I thought it's Goky

[@brucewayne5737]

I agree one of many most epic moments in DBZ. Best damn entrance for sure. Yep I was on board with the rest of you. Had no idea who he was that he was coming. The music is so badass. Once he show up slice all those men to pieces. Their bodies raining from the sky. You knew that shit just got real. Things ever going to be the same again. One of my absolute favorite characters next to Goku.

[@sidneydiesen5030]

I know right dude

They fucked it up by showing the capsule Corp. little girl, I thought it was some Frankenstein monster bulbs dad made lmaoo

[@eskimo1000]

Definitely Vageta's son, because he Vegeta almost alway has an Dramatic-It's about to go down-All eye on Me style entrance. The only thing missing is the piano.

When I very first saw this my reaction was like: O_O. I had no clue who this person was. And the fact that he knew who frieza was I was also like: Oh.. Snap..

[@Yazu13Z]

Bruce Faulconer's score made this scene. Without it, you just see some nobody cut down a bunch of low-level grunts Frieza sends out to cause havoc, but with this music, you're wondering who the f*** this new guy is and you know some serious sh** is about to go down.

[@Way_Of_The_Light]

Yazu13Z so true man DBS ost sucks in comparison to this!

[@franciscoochoa5576]

Why did they not include his score on the crunchy roll/Funimation episodes

[@sleepingaurora1286]

​@@franciscoochoa5576because snowflake idiots who live in the west that think they represent Japan have to ruin everything. We have to culturally appropriate anime otherwise you're not a true fan! Bruce Falconer did DBZ justice and this scene sent chills down me spine.

[@BUDOKAIultimate3]

They set this up GREAT! Normally I like Dale Kelly as the narrator coming in at the end of the episodes, but having no narraration here was genius!! Music was well placed, the pause when trunks starts speaking then music starts right back up after with the sound effects and wind while camera slowly pans in on this mysterious warrior... Say what you want about funimations earlier days starting out, but this scene was a prime example of them ON POINT!

[@swordofll9599]

ULTIMATEbudokai3 Absolutely. I don’t know why the remastered version felt the need to add extra dialog(I guess they wanted to remain faithful to the Japanese version because it had narrating as well).Not to mention, you can actually hear the blowing winds in this version whereas in the remastered version, it’s too low to hear.

[@TalesFromTheBooth]

The suspense! This is one of the most hyped moments ever in DB

[@Defrath]

It was insane. Toonami had a break from DBZ when the Frieza saga ended. They previewed this though. It was fucking insane.

[@HyperSole]

You know someone's a badass when they could pull off having pinkish-purple hair and still be the shit

[@originaldraco2446]

i don't see it his hair is grey and white why do people keep saying that I seen all of DBZ a thousand times and never once seen him with purple hair i guess some people are just colorblind I am not trying to start shit I just don't see it that's all.

[@sasook]

You sure you're not the one who is colorblind? lol

[@41xv73]

[@aprildanielleperez]

ORIGINAL DRACO Yes, everyone else is colorblind. You, only sane person here. Lol

[@WasefShah]

ORIGINAL DRACO I know, same here. I only saw his hair as Gray in DBZ.

[@Karmalu]

This version>Remastered version. The narrator for the Remastered version killed it.

[@Aussieroth7]

As did the lack of sfx during the music.

[@ginonovak7881]

[@opusepynomus9995]

probably the most defining moment on Dbz, if trunks hadnt shown up and warn them about the androids,and gave goku the medicine ,they'll be dead

[@Aaron.Monroe]

My nigga, this was without a doubt one of the top 5 toughest moments in DBZ. Vegeta crying before Frieza killed him is number 1 and this or perhaps Goku going Super Saiyan for the first time is number 2.

That anticipation for that next episode was real! Me and my bro were hype af when we saw this because we knew who trunks was but never knew he fought and killed frieza

Trunks definetly has vegeta's blood he just cuts everyone up without a 2nd thought.

[@jesusmalena3741]

GotherL the difference though is that Vegeta always let his stubborn pride get the best of him. Trunks in the other hand had seen so much pain in his timeline that he does not hesitate to destroy his enemies. I love it when he returns back to his timeline and destroys Android 17, 18 and imperfect cell.

[@geethamadhuri4.033]

Future trunks is best 🔥

[@TekkenOnlineFights]

Out Of nowhere 0:04 🗡 Trunks didn't waste a single moment like goku playing games around. Straight to the point! You can tell he had a really hard life cuz of his mentally never playing games. You must imagine he was only 17 years old when that happened! This is the most badass entrance I have ever seen and then this calm down moment while the cold wind blows which you can tell on the atmosphere and moment going on. This is totally goosebumps until that day for me!!!

[@timothybailey404]

This scene gives me goose bumps eveytime. Everything trunks went through in his timeline, he's completely comfortable against frieza and king cold. I can imagine he got a huge zenkai boost after his battle with the androids.

this scene gave me goosebumps as a kid when it FINALLY hit toonami

[@jordanrivera9317]

Remember when I was 9 years old seeing trunks for the first time, I was thinking to my self “who is this guy? Coming out of no where smoking the whole frieza army!” That’s when trunks became my favorite saiyan 🔥🐐

You can be badass. But you won’t be next level badass until you can turn bad guys into sashimi the second they even start to move. And have a techno theme song. And a bowl cut haircut lolol

Sometimes I forget how brutal DBZ was, he literally chopped those dudes up on TV. Literal Insta kills. He didn’t try to knock them unconscious or nothing, they are dead.
