Future Trunks (Dragon Ball Series)

## Power

### Manga and Anime

Having lived in an age of apocalyptic terror, Future Trunks had to go through intense training under Future Gohan. During his early days of training, even as a Super Saiyan, Future Trunks was unable to defeat base Future Gohan. Right before Future Trunks heads back to warn the Z Fighters of the Android threat, it is said by Future Bulma that he has become as strong as Future Gohan was.

When Future Trunks first appears on-screen, using his Super Saiyan form, he is able to easily overpower both Mecha Frieza and King Cold. Gohan describes Super Saiyan Future Trunks as having as large a *ki* as Super Saiyan Goku had on Namek.

While training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber with Vegeta, Future Trunks achieves the level of 2nd Grade Super Saiyan. His strength increases drastically to the point Vegeta says that Future Trunks is only a little bit weaker than him. At this point (in the anime only), Future Trunks is able to defeat Semi-Perfect Cell just by using his regular Super Saiyan form, though in the manga he requires his 2nd Grade Super Saiyan state like Vegeta does. It is later revealed that Future Trunks was holding back a lot of power and is in fact stronger than Vegeta, with Krillin believing that Future Trunks could defeat Perfect Cell. In Super Saiyan Third Grade, Cell says that Future Trunks is stronger than him in his Perfect Form, but can not win because he sacrificed his speed.

Future Trunks trains again with Vegeta in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and they increase in power enough to become the only two Z Fighters capable of holding their own in a fight with a Cell Jr, using their Super Saiyan forms instead of the advanced states they previously used. By the time Future Trunks goes back to the future, he is strong enough in Super Saiyan form to easily destroy Future 18, Future 17 and Imperfect Future Cell.

Future Trunks became much stronger thanks to continuous training and extra guidance under Shin, able to defeat Dabura as a Super Saiyan in the anime. In the manga, Future Trunks became able to effortlessly wield the Z Sword in battle against the demon king. While only able to hold his own against Future Dabura as a Super Saiyan, he completely overwhelmed Dabura upon achieving Super Saiyan 2. Later on Future Trunks was shown to be able to fight on par with Super Saiyan 2 Goku in the same form. While he was no match for Super Saiyan 3 Goku, the older Saiyan along with Beerus and Whis are highly impressed with the power Future Trunks has - which is quite impressive considering the latter two's high standards. In the manga Whis notes Future Trunks is slightly stronger than Goku with both of them being Super Saiyan 2 and Goku notes that Future Trunks' power is far greater than Gohan's was back then, even before he revealed he could enhance his Super Saiyan 2 form's power to become equal to that of Goku's Super Saiyan 3. Future Trunks states that his increase in power is because he trained himself extremely intensely.

Thanks to training in the past Future Trunks' power is greatly increased. Once returning to the future, Future Trunks shows off his new power, and as a Super Saiyan 2 he proves strong enough to take on Future Zamasu, who was unable to land a single blow on Future Trunks despite the god being an even match for Super Saiyan Blue Goku. Ultimately, had it not been for Future Zamasu's new-found immortality, Future Trunks would have won the fight upon stabbing Future Zamasu in the chest. In the manga, Goku states that strength-wise Future Zamasu is weaker than even Trunks. Future Trunks was also able to best Goku Black in a sword duel, send him flying back with an attack, and also survive Super Saiyan Rosé Goku Black's fully charged Black Kamehameha (though he could not move afterwards).

In the anime, back in the present, in his base state he spars with Super Saiyan Trunks briefly. While Trunks appears to be marked from the battle and exhausted, Future Trunks showed no sign of exhaustion at all.

During his second confrontation against the duo, he is pushed into a new Super Saiyan form - Super Saiyan Anger. The power this new form puts out was enough to actually startle both Black and Future Zamasu and allows Trunks to battle both of them at the exact same time while Vegeta and Goku retreated to the present. In the manga, the powered up Super Saiyan 2 Future Trunks manages to hold off Black long enough for Goku and Vegeta to return to the future, with Black powering up to his Super Saiyan Rosé form to take down Trunks - though Future Trunks is unable to fight back.

In his third match against the two (after isolating the pair), Trunks held his own against Black's Super Saiyan Rosé form and eventually knocked him out cold with a charged up Galick Gun. Considering his remaining energy after dealing with Black, Trunks fought evenly and managed to get the upper hand against Zamasu, and was confident that his next technique can obliterate the immortal being, however he was easily defeated by a flank attack from Black, with Black seemingly unfazed by Trunk's Galick Gun, only stating he might get a bruise.

During the fight with the Fused Zamasu, Trunks was able to deflect his *ki* blast with his sword, but he (like Goku and Vegeta) wasn't able to take him on. He fought against the dark god in a beam struggle, but with Vegeta's assistance, they were able to overcome Zamasu.

During the final battle after Vegito's fusion broke, Future Trunks saves Goku and Vegeta from death with his newly minted *ki* blade he made for himself with the hilt of his old sword. With his new blade and inspired by Gowasu and the remaining people cheering for him, Trunks lashes out at Zamasu with new filled hope while slowly and unknowingly gathering the all the *ki* from all the remaining people left on Earth. Trunks while initially taken aback, absorbs this power into himself and after Goku and Vegeta give all their remaining power to Trunks, transforms his blade once again, but this time into a Sword of Light made purely of the *ki* of mortals that he gathered from all the mortals on Earth. With this new blade and power from the entire world absorbed into his body, Future Trunks manages to shatter Fused Zamasu's *ki*blade and stabs him, bringing his blade straight up, slicing the malevolent Supreme Kai clean in two and killing the formerly immortal god once and for all. Before Trunks departs to return to the future, Vegeta was proud that his son is now at such a great level of power, and Goku states that Trunks was strong enough now to defeat any enemy.

In the *Dark Demon Realm Mission* manga, during the Dark Demon Realm Saga Super Saiyan Future Trunks is shown to be around as strong as he was when he destroyed Imperfect Future Cell, and by working alongside the Masked Saiyan is able to overwhelm Super Mira, though it is said that he would stand no chance against Demon God Demigra. He soon after trains for half a year with Goku, and upon encountering Mira again in the Dark Empire Saga, base Future Trunks is able to wipe out base Mira with a Kamehameha. As a Super Saiyan he is able to hold his own against Demon God Buu.

### Movies

In *Super Android 13*, he was able to shortly hold his own against both Android 14 and 15. During his solo fight against Android 14, he was able to successfully kill him moments after transforming into a Super Saiyan. He was no match at all against the powered-up Android 13 (whose extremely sturdy body caused Trunks sword to snap in two).

In *Broly - The Legendary Super Saiyan*, Future Trunks (along with Goku, Gohan, Piccolo, and Vegeta) was no match at all against Broly's power. However the energy that he, Gohan, Piccolo, and Vegeta contributed helped Goku gain more than enough power to defeat the maniacal Saiyan.

In *A Plan to Eradicate all Saiyans*, Future Trunks easily kills a few demons with a powerful icicle shaped as a blade. Later he assisted the others in their fight against the Ghost Warrior's (which consisted of Frieza, Turles, Slug, and Cooler); his opponent was Frieza. During the final battle against Hatchiyak, he proved far too powerful for them until they combined their strongest attacks in a beam struggle against the Tuffle (with Future Trunks performing the Burning Attack).

In *Bojack Unbound*, Future Trunks (in his base form) was able to handle Tien Shinhan, before he overpowers him by turning Super Saiyan; during the fight with Kogu, Trunks held his own while on the defensive until he was forced to transform and killed the rogue swordsman. He was easily ambushed and fell unconscious by Bojack himself. Later in the movie after regaining consciousness, he fights Zangya on equal footing, until he was ensnared by Bujin's Psychic Needles, and was later defeated by Bojack's Dirty Criminal technique, in which he does survive (an attack that was implied to kill him after Bojack says "die now").

### Video games

In the story of *Shin Budokai - Another Road*, Future Trunks is able to defeat Future Dabura, and later states that he could destroy Good Buu, showing that he had become far more powerful than during the Cell Games. During the game Trunks was capable of defeating not only Future Dabura but perfect puppets of Final form Frieza and Perfect Cell in his Base form.

In the story of *Dragon Ball Xenoverse*, Future Trunk's power is shown to have drastically improved over his last appearance. Upon meeting the Future Warrior for the first time Trunks takes all of his attacks and shows no signs of damage or fatigue. Later with the Future Warrior assisting him, Super Saiyan Trunks was able to fight on par with Mira (suppressed), a being whom was confident enough to believe he could beat Super Saiyan 3 Goku and Majin Buu at the same time easily even while suppressing his power. Later while working with the Future Warrior they were able hold off Beerus and Whis - who were testing their power. Shortly after, while he was possessed by Demigra not only was he able to briefly fight the Future Warrior on his own, but he was also able to resist Demigra's control.

Trunks has greatly improved in *Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 -* In the *Frieza Saga,* Future Trunks (in his base form) and the new Future Warrior were able to defeat Slug and Turles (who were powered up from the dark magic fruit from the Tree of Might). During the *Cell Saga,* after entering New Namek, not only was Future Trunks able to help the Future Warrior fight off the Meta Cooler's, but he has used his wits to launch the self-destruct sequence to destroy the Big Gete Star prior to the battle. In the *Trunks Saga,* he, Future Gohan, and the 2nd Future Warrior were able to simultaneously stand against Mira. In the *Masked Saiyan Saga* Trunks and the 2nd Future Warrior were able to fight and beat both the Masked Saiyan and Mira, then afterwards the previous 1st Future Warrior (under Towa's control), and Towa simultaneously. In the *Unknown History* - Future Trunks was able to help Future Gohan to finally defeat both Android 17 and 18.

The *Dragon Ball Z: The Anime Adventure Game* states that Future Trunks has a power level of 7,000,000 in base form and 17,500,000 as a Super Saiyan during the Trunks Saga.

### Forms and Transformations

#### Super Saiyan

In the manga, Future Trunks is already able to achieve Super Saiyan when shown training his mentor Future Gohan, making it somewhat likely he simply is able to transform naturally, as his present timeline self did; he however struggles with even Future Gohan's base state in the form, which may suggest that it was rather recently reached due to its meager power, despite his harsh training. In the TV special *The History of Trunks*, Future Trunks transforms for the first time after seeing his mentor Future Gohan killed at the hands of the androids in his timeline. The energy involved in the transformation causes Future Trunks' hair to stand on end and turn a golden color. His facial expression is sharpened, and the color of his eyes turns a bright emerald green. When in this state Trunks' power level increases dramatically. Even so, he always maintains his sincere, serious demeanour. He is weaker than his present counterpart as a Super Saiyan, prior to becoming Xeno/*Super* Trunks, due to inexperience.

In *Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2*, this form is called **Future Super Saiyan** which is depicted as a variant of the Super Saiyan Awoken Skill which is used by Future Trunks and Future Gohan (and can be obtained by the 2nd Future Warrior after completing the Unknown History Saga). In *Xenoverse 2*, the Future Super Saiyan form recovers *ki* faster than any other Super Saiyan form, though the user lacks the ability to access higher forms.

#### Super Saiyan Second Grade

After their defeat at the hands of Android 17 and Android 18, he and Vegeta underwent severe training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, during which Trunks gained the ability to take this form. When taking this form, Future Trunks' muscles swell, making his body several sizes larger than normal, and his power and speed are elevated beyond his previous Super Saiyan limits. He first used this form to fight against Semi-Perfect Cell, in an attempt to keep him from absorbing Android 18 and reaching completion. This fight scene only happened in a filler part of the anime, while in the manga, he was about to fight Semi-Perfect Cell but was knocked away by Vegeta, and when he struck Vegeta with his energy blast to repel him away in surprise, but was blinded by Cell's Solar Flare and was forced to see Cell complete himself inside a barrier when his vision returned. After witnessing Vegeta's defeat at Perfect Cell's hands, he transformed to Super Saiyan Third Grade, but lost due to his severe speed decrease. As a result, Trunks entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber a second time to focus on increasing his strength as a regular Super Saiyan to its highest possible point.

#### Super Saiyan Third Grade

Future Trunks is usually referred to as **Super Trunks** while in this state. It is another form he gained while training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, and he utilizes this state while fighting the recently completed Perfect Cell. In this form, Future Trunks' muscles swell even larger than in his Super Saiyan Second Grade, his hair gets spikier and larger, and his power grows immensely. In this stage, however, the heavily increased muscle-mass comes at a cost of reduced speed and mobility, and because of the massive energy required to maintain this form, it is not sustainable for long periods of time, which ultimately puts him in a life-threatening disadvantage. Future Trunks also temporarily uses this form in order to trick Vegeta in *Dragon Ball Super*.

#### Super Saiyan 2

In *Dragon Ball Super* anime, Future Trunks first uses this transformation during his spar with Goku after arriving in the present timeline. He returns to use this transformation during his training with Vegeta, and later several times against Goku Black and Future Zamasu. In the anime this form is identical to his Super Saiyan form, other than having Super Saiyan 2's sparks. In the manga, Future Trunks' hair spikes up completley as a Super Saiyan 2, and is also distinguished by lacking the two thin strands of hair that are present in the lower form. Goku notes that Future Trunks is far stronger than Gohan was previously.

In the *Super* manga, it is revealed that Future Trunks first achieved the form upon witnessing the death of Future Kibito at the hands of Future Dabura. This plus the dedication to rid his future world of all evil, as it has been through enough, caused Future Trunks to attain the form, which gave him enough power to overwhelm Future Dabura and destroy him along with Future Babidi with a single Burning Attack.

Future Trunks originally only displayed this form in various video-games including *Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2*, *Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3*, Dragon Ball Z: Infinite World, *Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle*, *Dragon Ball Heroes*, and later in *Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2*. In *Xenoverse 2*, Future Trunks' Dragon Ball Super incarnation is unique in that he has a Super Saiyan 2 Awoken Skill that is not stacked with the Super Saiyan Awoken Skill.

#### Strengthened Super Saiyan 2

Not wanting to settle to his limits as a Super Saiyan 2, Future Trunks displays mastery of the form, with him in the manga being able to power up so much that his strength matches Super Saiyan 3 Goku's, as noted by Vegeta. With this huge power increase, Goku was forced to momentarily become a Super Saiyan God to defeat Future Trunks with one blow. After further empowering his Super Saiyan 2 form, first through training with Vegeta, and then through rage, he became capable of holding off Super Saiyan Rosé Goku Black on multiple occasions.

This state only appears as a powered up enhancement in the *Dragon Ball Super* manga. In the anime it is instead simply referred to as Future Trunks using his max power in his Super Saiyan 2 form, and is easily taken down by Super Saiyan 3 Goku in one blow, and instead of utilizing the further powered up version of this form against Super Saiyan Rosé Goku Black he gains a new transformation.

#### Super Saiyan 3

Future Trunks achieves this transformation in the arcade game *Dragon Ball Heroes*, introduced since the third mission of the original series (M3). In this form, his teen and adolescent versions retain his two long and thin bangs, while the "Xeno" version attains a bang similar to Goku and Bardock's. As seen in the fourth trailer for Super Dragon Ball Heroes (SDBH4), when Xeno Trunks goes Super Saiyan 3, he has the two thin bangs from his teen and adolescent versions, but the bangs are a little bit longer.

#### Super Saiyan Rage

In the *Dragon Ball Super* series, Future Trunks achieves this powered up state far superior to his Super Saiyan 2. This state - Super Saiyan Anger - possess upward pointed hair (similar to the Trunks' Super Saiyan 2 form in the manga), electric sparks like Super Saiyan 2's, and a golden aura - with a blue part inside the aura. In this state Future Trunks is referred to as "**Super Trunks**".

In the anime, Future Trunks attained this powerful transformation during his final confrontation with Goku Black and Future Zamasu, causing Trunks to awaken a new energy inside of him. When Black and Future Zamasu cruelly put the blame on him for altering history, he couldn't accept it because all he wanted to do is save everyone. This pushes Future Trunks's rage over the limit and causes him to transform into Super Saiyan Anger.[21] He gains a much more bulky appearance during his transformation, but at the completion of this state his muscles shrink back to normal size (his footsteps crack the ground below him), his hair grows longer and much more spikier (similar to the Super Saiyan Second Grade form), he has a double gold and blue aura with lightning, and his eyes glow as his irises and pupils are no longer visible. Once fully adjusting to this power, Future Trunks' eyes return to normal and resemble the eyes of Super Saiyan Blue instead of the standard Super Saiyan forms' green. His voice is also temporarily deepened in this form, further representing his changed demeanor.

While powered up in this state, he became powerful enough to hold off both Black and Future Zamasu by himself, a feat that only Goku himself was able to manage when enraged. Goku and Vegeta are confident enough in his new power to travel back to the past temporarily, leaving him to fend for himself against the two opponents while they searched for a way to defeat them. Also, he became a lot more resilient, taking powerful blows from Black and Zamasu and able to put the duo on the defensive on many occassions. By charging up a Galick Gun was able to knock Goku Black uncounsious (though it was for a short period of time).

In the manga, Future Trunks does not utilize this form, and instead further empowered his strengthened Super Saiyan 2 form, first through training with Vegeta, and then through rage, allowing him to hold off Super Saiyan Rosé Goku Black on multiple occasions.

Future Trunks also became able to sense the *ki* of Goku and Vegeta despite them being in their Super Saiyan Blue forms (previously while training with Vegeta, Future Trunks noted he could not sense his ki as a Super Saiyan Blue). Additionally, he displayed the ability to channel his *ki* through other objects, mainly using this to generate a blade of pure energy from the remains of his broken sword.

#### Spirit Bomb Super Saiyan

When Super Saiyan Anger Future Trunks drew upon the power of everything still alive on the planet, he became immensely more powerful, gaining an aura of light blue energy similar to the Spirit Bomb. His sword also turned into the Spirit Bomb Sword - a white sword with light blue edges, larger in size and in the shape of a greatsword. This power was enough to slay Fused Zamasu.

Future Trunks can use this state in *Xenoverse 2* by transforming into Super Saiyan 2, and then Sword of Hope.

#### Super Saiyan Blue

In the Goku Black and Zamasu bonus story of *Dragon Ball Fusions*, Goku and Vegeta decide to train Future Trunks and Tekka's team so they can obtain Super Saiyan Blue. While not shown in the form, Future Trunks notes after the training that he has obtained the form and with it will be able to defeat Goku Black.

#### Villainous Mode

In the finale of *Dragon Ball Xenoverse*, Demigra possess Future Trunks in order to have him fight against the Future Warrior. When fought in game Future Trunks also has Villainous Mode active, however when playable he lacks this additional form. Additionally, when fought during the story he lacks the purple shade he possess otherwise. While Xeno Trunks has no control over his body in this form as he is being controlled by Demigra, he is capable of resisting it mentally as he encourages the Future Warrior to keep on attacking him to dispel Demigra's hold over him.

#### Ginyu's Body

In *Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2*, Future Trunks has his body stolen by Captain Ginyu while he was trailing him to find Towa and Mira in Age 762. Due to his blunder, history is altered so that when Goku first encounters Ginyu, he is in Trunks body. Eventually Future Trunks in Ginyu's body joins the fight against Ginyu and Jeice. With the help of Goku and the Future Warrior, Ginyu is forced to attempt to switch bodies with Goku, only for Trunks to jump in the way allowing him to return to his body. Ginyu's Body also appears as an alternate skin/skillset for Future Trunks.
