Trunks

**Trunks** is one of the playable characters of Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot.

## Summary

### **Cell Saga**

An alternate universe version of Vegeta and Bulma's son from the future. Forced to contend with the android threat on his own, he used a time machine to travel to the past with the hopes of saving the world in his timeline. Trunks is polite and respectful, particularly to young Gohan, whom he greatly respects as his master in the future. Trunks became a Super Saiyan to fight Frieza and his men when they arrived on Earth. With only a few slices of his sword, he was able to make quick work of Frieza, while King Cold, Frieza's father, went down with a single Ki Blast.

In order to defeat the androids, Trunks entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber with Vegeta and trained for one year (one day on the outside). The harsh conditions under which he trained robbed him of what child-like innocence he had left and toughened him up considerably. Being half Earthling, his hair also grew longer, which is uncharateristic for Saiyans. Trunks and Vegeta engaged Cell-now more powerful after absorbing Android 17-in battle after a year of training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Vegeta was able to easily overpower Cell, but he found himself wanting of a challenge, He then allowed the bio-android to escape and power up. Trunks felt this was grave mistake and stood ready to fight his father to prevent a catastrophe. Though confident he could defeat Perfect Cell, Trunks increase in power came at the cost of his speed, a fact on which Cell capitalized quickly. Trunks later re-entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to train again, hoping he could make the necessary mental and physical improvements to fight better. Trunks was but one of many forced to contend with the Cell Juniors, which Cell produced in the hopes of angering Gohan. Though his training afforded him enough power to fight par with the miniature bio-androids, Trunks was ultimately not able to defeat them.
