There's a bit of a scripting error where, right as Zamasu fuses with Trunks Black, you say "Goku Black". Also, before Zamasu is Hakaied, you say that Beerus & Whis go to U8.

When you realize this What If Story of Future Trunks actually feels like an Origin Story of Xeno Trunks from both the "Xenoverse" and "Heroes" series, That is so freaking Awesome!

Nah, only in Xenoverse series as Heroes confirmed Xeno Trunks as an alternate Future Trunks after the Android arc.

@@modelomegatyler Xenoverse Xeno Trunks is implied to be after Goku Black arc according to its DLC, while Heroes there are 2 version of Future Trunks, one is Time Patroller Xeno Trunks that Supreme Kai summoned after the Android defeat, the other is the same DBS Future Trunks post-Goku Black arc. The latter so far only appear in Prison Planet and Hearts arcs.

[@firechargeogname]

Yep

[@InGodshands7]

@@firechargeognamefans don’t know what they want really, what they want is to stay in the past and try nothing new. Most fans aren’t artists or know how to run a business, which is why when any fanbase complains, they want things to not change whilst being 30+ and pander to THEIR childhoods not realizing companies need to change with the times to be profitable and relevant. I’m a DB fan from the 90s, and even I know that 95% of fans and what want would SINK the company in a year if left solely up to them. Look at the Call Of Duty fanbase…. TLDR, I know

That’s really got me thinking dude. Good comment

[@anonymoususer5753]

Bro having future Gohan meet pan an videl had me nearly crying. That was so cute!

[@mAcChaosCh]

I don't think Trunks would step aside and give Gotenks a chance to fight Buu a second time. Unlike Gohan, he doesn't get cocky and mess around when he's on top. He'd just go all in to kill Buu.

[@jkirk6444]

True original trunks is an all or nothing type of guy but you gotta think that spending all of that time around Vegeta would definitely have an impact on his personality

[@azimuddin1890]

@@jkirk6444 I don’t know, I think a decade being on the planet with beings who are destroying everything, and he didn’t have the power to stop them would have more of tall on him that being around Vegeta.

[@human3213]

Gohan doesn't get cocky either. It was simply Gotenks being cocky

[@corganwampler2532]

I 100% agree with you trunks is cold blooded with it. Unlike Gohan he doesn't play with his opponents he just goes for there throat it why iv always loved Future trunks

[@Chonkyexp]

​@@human3213wrong remember cell games and literally buu saga right b4 buu absorbs him

[@daddydreet245]

NO WAY that Vegeta trained with Trunks and Gohan for 7 years and didn’t unlock ssj 3. Also, I need a story where kid Buu wins and then finds Broly and absorbs him. Great story btw.

[@helton3425]

Yes, power levels felt all over the place in this what if, but overall surprisingly concrete. If Gohan training with Vegeta and Piccolo would be almost enough for Gohan to reach near SSj3 during the 7 year timeskip. Then I think that if Future Trunks was there, atleast Gohan or him would have achieved SSj3 due to their hybrid potential. Also with the no nonsense personality like Trunks, it feels like the Buu arc, the Zamasu Arc, and even possibly the Moro Arc wouldn't really have happened, for the latter i think Trunks would have done some training under the Kais like his canon counterpart. Thus negating Moro entirely...

[@SmugStick]

@@helton3425Yeah this one was a lot more difficult to do than usual just because we kept rewriting stuff, and just a bunch of problems. I think it’s pretty good overall but I wish we could’ve tighten the power levels a bit more. Thanks for watching though, and I hope you enjoyed!

[@SmugStick]

That would be really cool, I wonder what I could call it… maybe what if Buu won? And he ventilating finds Broly?

[@JoelsCollection]

Vegeta never had access to the unlimited stamina that death brings like Goku had during the 7 Year Timeskip after Cell. That's why Goku was able to go SSJ3.

[@Gam525]

Bro, you trying to make Buu more busted than he is?

[@reckszkingzactivitiesrkat.4134]

Wait, did you say Beerus and Whis went to Universe 8 to take care of Zamasu? Isn't Zamasu from Universe 10?

Realistically the fusion dance between Trunks and Gohan during the TOP would be more of a nerf than a buff due to how the dance works.

[@mr.ginger183]

Hey Smug, were you planning to have Trunks face off against Frieza? I know you wanted to end the scenario, but it felt like a missed opportunity not having a final battle between Trunks and Frieza.

[@SmugStick]

Hmmmmm not really in this scenario, I think him getting to beat him prior to the androids was enough, but it’s a good idea. I may do something with that in the future

[@VelgrimNestorus]

​@SmugStick perhaps when he acts like vegita lmao.

[@MADIE-sy]

I don't think adding Frieza to roster for the tournament of power in this scenario would not fit to "what if" knowing that a lot of them will disagree to that idea and would rather choose a earthling fighter like master roshi or tien instead.

First real diversion from the original story happens after 13 minutes, when trunks trained with the Z sword rather than Gohan… I would expect Vegeta not to turn into majin after training with Trunks and Gohan for seven years, I think the change would start there.

[@kenzie2191]

So basically Trunks would make everyone better

[@b_is_alive]

that ending of Beast Future Gohan finishing off Cell Max in between time and space is awesome!

[@ripper6164]

My only critiques is that Trunks being in the preasent impacted the ToP alot more than I think it would have, I really doubt it would have changed from being goku and frieza needing to team up, also fusion has been used imo due to trunks not being as strong as goku and vegeta showing that it might as well have ended the same as the original

[@JoeBoeLoe]

What if Universe 6’s earth was a variant of Future Trunks timeline

[@almightygobhoblin]

Everything wholesome wity Future Gohan pretty much made me cry, it is so beautiful and exactly what he deserves!

[@ajjones8453]

Another satisfying story! Man this great! And shoutout to your girlfriend for the help

[@TalkTopicscity29]

This is awesome, but it seems very uncharacteristic that Trunks would allow Buu to absorb Goten and Trunks. By stepping aside out of curiosity Just to see Super Saiyan 3 Gotenks, we all know Trunks would not allow that or give him the opportunity to have the upper hand. He knows better than that he's lived through horror.

[@badkarma5192]

great what if story overall, definitely a cinematic masterpiece. The only problem i have with it though is even if trunks stayed in the past he wouldn't just become the main character like the video. If he stayed im pretty sure only some things turn out different but the story wouldnt just focus on him as a whole.

[@changjal416]

18:42 can goku die naturally anymore like does he have the life span of the old Kai or does he just age normally?

[@PrinceYamiUchihaCosplay]

He'll die naturally, getting revived by Old Kai doesn't stop a mortal from dying, spoiler warning: remember in the Canon timeline of Online, Goku and Vegeta dies after their last fight far far far away from Earth because they were rapidly getting close to the age that Saiyans start getting weaker and older

2:53:35 I like this...Where is it from? And who made it

[@meraki435]

This is deff my favorite db what if. everything from future trunks being the main character to having him be the one to discover beast works so well. tbh tho it does kiiinda fall off slightly with future gohan staying in the present too as well as attaining beast. i think it would have made more sense narratively for him to stay in his original timeline as it's protector in trunks' absence.

[@kuropiko]

Pan wouldn’t exist if he stayed ;)

[@firechargeogname]

1:57:04 - 1:57:06 "I don't even know who you are" is what trunks would have said if he doesn't come back to the past the first time

[@cloudtg462]

Future Trunks is my favorite character and Super did him so dirty. What stings even more in the manga him and Mai were already staying in the past. But he talks to Gohan and leaves out of shame

[@lostintheark5728]

Why didnt Gohan and Trunks fuse again when Frieza came back? All in all good story, the ending seems like it would be a dope story for Xenoverse3. The reason he took the time patroller gig is to bring back his timeline's Gohan. And the fact that a version of Gohan is outside of time and space facing off against a version of Cell for all eternity or unless Trunks finds away to save him, is kinda poetic and how I'd think rivals in the Dragonball universe would go out, swinging them ones until they can't.

[@SimbaCrown67]

Ss3 future Gohan niiiice. Since him and our goku were both dead, goku dead training him is niiice

[@ueIl]

Why isn't Buu brought back to life with the dragon balls if he was good?
