What if Bulma had hit Trunks with the Blutz Wave Generator?

Post by Steven Bloodriver » Mon Jan 15, 2018 8:55 pm

In the Shadow Dragon Saga of Dragon Ball GT, Super Saiyan 4 Goku and Super Saiyan 4 Vegeta were trying to use the Fusion Dance to become Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta, with Gohan, Trunks, and Goten helping the last two Saiyans alive in distracting Omega Shenron, but what if the Blutz Waves fired by Bulma had hit Trunks instead of being avoided by the Lord of Evil Dragons?

Scenario A) With Trunks permanently growing back his tail from the excessive amount of Blutz Waves his body had absorbed and becoming a Golden Great Ape before Omega Shenron could even react at all from having seen Trunks transform right before his eyes?

Scenario B) Or with Super Saiyan 4 Goku having used his Instant Transmission technique to get between the transforming Trunks and Omega Shenron, before using his Solar Flare only an inch from the Shadow Dragon of Absolute Destruction's face for maximum effect, and applying his Instant Transmission again towards moving Omega Shenron to Emperor Pilaf, in order to Instant Transmit back and have enough in terms of time to help Super Saiyan 4 Vegeta in calming Great Ape Trunks or Golden Great Ape Trunks to coach him into achieving Super Saiyan 4, just when Omega Shenron would return back to the battlefield?

Hitting Trunks would probably just make him turn into great ape although if she only fired it for a short time he wouldn't complete his transformation i guess.

Better question is what would happen to Omega if he was hit by it. He actually evaded it. But i guess he just didn't see it coming so he didn't know what is it. It would probably do nothing to him.

Wasn't it said somewhere that Goten and Trunks were born without tails? Apparently that had something to do with them growing in power so fast in their early years just from play-fighting, vs. Gohan who only got much stronger when he got really angry and otherwise had to train a lot harder for his power increases.

If so, maybe nothing would happen at all. Trunks might not be physically capable of transforming as a result of Blutz Waves if he never had a tail in the first place.

He couldn't grow it 'back' because he never had one. Maybe there'd be some weird plot device power boost.

He'd have to be strong enough to become a golden ape and even stronger to control it which as far as we know he was unable to do either.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

The first thing we know is that the capability for ape transformation is produced from glands within the tail itself. Trunks has never had a tail so at a biological level his body may be unable to produce the hormones which would reside in the gland and thus be completely unable to transform at all. It would also explain why the only known SSJ4 transformations are of characters who were born with tails. DB Heroes has SSJ4 Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Broly, and I believe Bardock. Thus far there have been no variants of Oozaru forms of Trunks or Goten in any official media which I can think of.
