Gohan was put in that scenario time and time again since he was 4. Gohan grew up in times where goku and vegeta would lose battles causing him to step in.

I think what allows Gohan to have a different potential is more than just being a hybrid too. Man was trained by both Piccolo AND Goku for numerous years, on top of already having the hybrid potential. He had to adapt to the greatest threats in the universe as well which gives him a lot of exp that Trunks just doesn’t have. Even in Super, Gohan stopped training for a total of almost 10 years, yet surpassed Trunks by far, even though Trunks constantly trains.

One of the most minor things that just bugged me SO MUCH was the change in his appearance, ESPECIALLY his hair but not exclusively that. It made no sense for his hair to change. Not only was it not necessary but now kid trunks is just… there. With purple hair. I get that’s he not important so it doesn’t “really” matter but the fact still remains that only future trunks had his hair changed. Yes it makes more sense than purple, but his purple hair was iconic, it was so recognizable because it was distinct. And oh gosh what were they thinking with the scrawny body. Not even during his first appearance was trunks that small. And this is a character that you absolutely cannot say “oh maybe he didn’t have the will to train”, the man knows how valuable strength is, especially in his timeline where he’s a lone warrior. I thought it’s would be really cool to see trunks again, but I think I would’ve rather had just the memory of him in Z than have his character be ruined in super 😭.

Sometimes they were corrected, sometime it wasnt corrected. I find it weird that the color of the hair bothers you, too. Fun fact, Bulma in the manga is supposed to have purple colored hair, and then the anime made it blue. I guess toriyama must have said "okay... i guess blue hair it is.

[@leafonhead777]

Gohan's training was more like Gohan constantly being pushed out of his comfort zone, being encouraged, and then being rewarded with the respect and admiration of his mentors before doing it all over again. Where Trunks was just beat down and demoralized over and over and over. Plus seemingly being hated by his father (from his view) when meeting his father was the first thing he looked forward to in a long time. That COULD be motivating for some, but much more likely messed with his potential till long after the events of the Cell saga.

[@Yelkwood9]

The "normal" timeline has a litany of strong warriors who push each other to excel and be better, Trunks was pretty much alone in his. It would be ridiculous to me if he was on their level in that kind of environment. In combat sports too, your strength depends a lot on the strength of the people around you. Practice with weak people and you'll at most become stronger than the second strongest guy there, but the least strongest at a much higher level gym might still easily sweep you. Motivation alone is not enough.

Trunks was a baby when everyone died. Goku gets his heart disease about the same time, then 6 months later, androids kill the rest of the fighters. Now, what you can argue is King Kai not getting involved, either with contacting with namek dragon balls, or to have goku tell Trunks about the Time chamber, or have Goku use his one day out of other world to fight or something.

I understand your sight of things, but let me explain, what I think, is the case: You see, in Episode 61, Goku Black & Zamasu condemn Trunks for time travelling, for changing the history, because (from their perspective) only gods would be allowed to do that. Trunks clearly wanted to change things to be better, than what he had experienced in the past. Trunks was indeed strong, but I think, he had that feelings of anger and guilt for a long time and to make it worse, those feelings were brought to him by an "evil version" of Goku, a person, who was originally supposed to be his friend and the final strike, that broke him completely, was, that he couldn't do anything against this foe, even, when using all his strength. Trunks's problem was not his physical strength, but his (again) broken mentality due to his experiences with Goku Black in his timeline. Don't underestimate, what psychological torture can do to a physical strong being. I also didn't get, why the writers chose to make his hair blue, but that honestly was no issue for me.

[@Unpopular_Duality.]

Future Trunks and everyone else should have been permanently killed off like the writers originally planned to do in his timeline during the goku black arc but the writers got cold feet on following through with doing that because there would have been a massive storm of backlash on the ending since future trunks is a fan favorite character. I personally would have been mad too but loved the choice overall. Modern Dragonball needs to have permanent consequences to their deathmatch fights sometimes at the expense of modern fan appeal. It makes the anime more complete and worth watching when popular anime fan favorites actually and permanently die off. Plus seeing the aftermath of those decisions about fighting stronger opponents in the remaining characters left alive just for the love of battle. If future trunks and everyone outside of goku, vegeta, and those necessary to the overall DB Super storyline would have died permanently at the end of the goku black arc, that would have been a chef's kiss of perfection for modern Dragonball.

[@Crow_Rising]

13:19 This isn't a criticism or correction, it's just something I wanted to elaborate on. I agree that 16's speech and death was Gohan's trigger, but there's also something to be said about WHY it was his trigger, and was so effective. The reason is this: It was all a matter of psychology and philosophy. Gohan was mentally holding himself back through his sense of moral duty. He saw Cell, and every other villain he had faced up to that point, as living beings. Living beings with a right to life. He was pacifistic, and couldn't bring himself to kill. Even if it meant protecting others, his mentality was to find another solution. Plead with them if necessary, beg them to stop. 16 told him something very specific. Something that broke down these mental barriers and caused him to stop holding himself back. He told Gohan basically that he's right about life being truly precious, but it's for that very reason that it's not wrong to kill those who seek to kill others and can't be reasoned with. He doesn't need to hesitate against a monster like Cell with no respect or regard for others lives. This message alone wasn't enough, what drove the point home was Cell providing the additional push by killing the helpless 16 on the spot for absolutely no good reason, crushing him underfoot simply because he was tired of listening to him. It was in that moment that it finally got through to him what those words meant. Gohan's unwillingness to kill Cell was replaced with a sense of justice for those Cell had killed, and who he continued to threaten. Cell was a bully, and Gohan finally resolved himself to make him pay with his life. With his mental barriers holding him back demolished, the power was finally able to flow freely, surging out as though through a broken dam. This is what Trunks was lacking in the Cell saga. He probably did have the same potential, or maybe even a far greater one. However, what he lacked was the trigger to break down his mental barriers and let that power flow freely. Trunks is a different person than Gohan, with a different world view and general philosophy. What worked for Gohan wasn't going to work for Trunks, and because his condition hadn't been met to change his world view to one that would allow his power to flow, the Super Saiyan 2 form remained locked to him. The general theme around Super Saiyan at the time was that it was the power of the pure hearted. Individuals like Vegeta may be able to unlock the transformation and use it to bully others, but the form itself wasn't what granted it's true power. What made Goku so strong on Namek against Freeza, and then later what made Gohan so strong against Cell wasn't the Super Saiyan form or Super Saiyan 2 form by itself. It was the sense of justice in their hearts that strengthened their resolve and motivated them to fight at their absolute best, without holding anything back. To let the power flow freely for the sake of those they cared about, and everyone who had been wronged by the tyrants standing before them.

I loved, and I mean loved, how Trunks was always a "no nonsense" kinda character. He got s*** done, son. In Super when Goku and Vegeta let Frieza destroy earth because they were giving him a final speech, Trunks from DBZ, wouldn't do that. No games. No small talk. No jokes. No showing off. No testing his limits. No pride. No letting the enemy get stronger just to have a better fight. He just cut right to the chase. And went for the kill. He didn't play with his food, if he was stronger, he immediately seized the means of production When he faced the Androids and Cell back in his Timeline, he did it with boldness, bravery, toughness and confidence. A a hardened war veteran who also grew up in the most dangerous ghetto in the city, and also went to prison for fifty years and saw some s***.... That's how Trunks personality came across. Just a "you don't wanna mess with this guy, if you're a bad guy" type of man. And that's the thing... In DragonBall Z, Trunks was a Man. In Super... They regressed him into a boy.

I think that trunks and mei should have been married instead of just heavily implying that they like each other and leave it at that. I agree that he should have had a beard and should have acted more mature instead of running back to mommy and daddy to solve his problem for him. I think it should have been Trunks training to take down Goku black and not Vegeta. maybe trunks could have been the first super Saiyan 4 in dragon ball super. he could have had the kai's tell him about super Saiyan 4 and then use the dragon balls to get his tail back then maybe he can go to Vegeta to teach him how to control the oozaru transformation to complete his ascension to Super Saiyan 4. that would have been way better than what we got.

the fact that they turned no nonsense badass warrior into a whimp is a clear statement that they brought him back only for cheap cashgrab trunks comes back to his time and knows that any future threat will be on him to defeat babidi fails to resurrect majin buu and trunks... stops training apparently... instead of arms capable of bending titanium he has wet noodles instead of keeping his attitude he goes knees weak and what does he do? goes to past again but instead of going there to help or to prepare himself for the battle he goes to cry for help and then in his own goddamn arc the moment of glory it was all for nothing zamasu is everything and dragon ball super fanbase gets sumoned to erase entire arc from hapening after it happened

[@sidecharacter3193]

Trunks was turned into a wimp the moment he gave up and just asked cell to kill him Trunks never stopped training considering his ssj2 is as strong as ssj3 goku Unless you’re saying that ssj3 goku isn’t even cell saga level Kinda weird how no one give Him shit for getting knees weak against vegeta when cells trying to absorb 18, while trashing him for asking for help when he’s clearly outmatched after fighting him for months

Like you said, he went being independent that traveled back in time to hang out and help out and being to stand for himself when his timeline needed him, to being a baby that needs to be bottle fed like all that training went out the window. I'm seriously hoping the new Trunks is from a different timeline

[@Lkcuupa]

[@Omniseed]

I think it's important to remember that Trunks, being a war orphan from an apocalyptic time, would have never been able to match the nutritional intake that Chi-Chi and Goku would have supplied Gohan with, and Gohan growing up as the son and student of Goku and his ex Piccolo would likewise present an insurmountable benefit for someone like Trunks, who is probably Gohan's near exact equal in potential had he ever been graced with the diet and lifestyle of a universe-level fighter from birth like Gohan got.

To me, he was the coolest mf ever at the time. Definitely became my favorite character in the show. Then, I didn’t care much for Kid Trunks since he just wasn’t the same. GT Trunks was lame af.

Honestly I just consider it a noncanon form since it’s not a toriyama idea and it’s not used in the manga Either that or you can consider it a branch of the rage/ikari forms Like brolys ikari or kales berserk

@@sidecharacter3193 At least in the manga it made more sense. Despite not having the rage form, the amount of training Trunks did made his SSJ2 form at a SSJ3 level which Is impressive. Now imagine if he did that amount of training with the God forms or his so called "Rage Form"

[@mikegregory4386]

The "rough" theory I have, the trunks ikari/rage form is him using "hope" from humanity, the rage from zamasu and black going to kill all of humanity. The sword of hope is powered by well, hope... Which life energy (genki) is like say a base energy, where hope energy is way more, because without Hope the life energy would give up in dispair. Life energy, genki, needs hope to feed it forward. Without Hope it is shown that energy, ki, and the very will to live, to grow, to survive... Fades and withers without Hope. So trunks pulled together and pulled in the genki infused and bolstered by hope. So "the energy of hope" is genki (life energy) gone super Saiyan. This can also be used to explain why the spirit bomb that beat kid Buu was so powerful, because yes, it had way more people, but also Hercule also gave people hope! Everyone poured their life and hope into that.
