Episode Information

Episode Summary

Bulma is working hard on repairing the time machine, with the Pilaf Gang helping to bring her parts. Shuu thinks that they are being worked like slaves, but Mai tells him not to complain: after all, this is all for Trunks’ sake! Bulma needs a square wave amplifier out of Laboratory No. 2, so kid Trunks escorts Mai there. Once there, he tries to help her locate the amplifier, but annoys her by constantly finding the wrong thing. Next, kid Trunks tries to look like his future self by posing with a hacksaw, but Mai is not impressed.

Meanwhile, Vegeta trains in the gravity room, motivated by thoughts of what Black did to his family in the future (killing Bulma and hurting Trunks). Outside, Goku hears Vegeta training intensely, and can tell he must be mad. Beside him, Beerus wants to know when it will be dinner time, while Whis is using his staff to re-watch Goku and Black’s fight.

Elsewhere in Capsule Corporation, Future Trunks is lying in bed, but his memories of Black attacking Mai prevent him from sleeping. He takes his sword and goes to the laboratory, where he asks Bulma how the repair work is going. Fixing the machine itself will still take some time, but at least she has managed to figure out the machine’s energy source… It is the same blue liquid she had developed on her own just a little while ago when Monaka had stopped by!

Bulma says it will take a full day to get the tank filled up. Trunks is amazed, since in his future it took a year to collect enough energy for a one-way trip, but Bulma says they must have lacked equipment there; her future self certainly must have had it rough! Trunks offers to help, but Bulma says she already has plenty (indicating Mai). She tells Trunks to change out of his beat-up clothes though; she already left a new outfit by his bed.

Outside, Piccolo and Kuririn are filling in the big holes left around Capsule Corporation from the battle. Trunks (still in his beat-up clothes) greats them, and asks how Gohan is doing. Piccolo warns Trunks that if he is planning on taking Gohan to the future, he had better forget about it. Gohan is not the same as Trunks remembers; he has become a scholar and his warrior days are long gone. Trunks is happy to hear that Gohan is now a scholar: his dream has come true!

Trunks explains that in his future, Gohan was his martial arts master, who died fighting the artificial humans. He never got a chance to properly thank Gohan, so Kuririn suggests Trunks go do so now. Piccolo says Gohan is currently at an academic conference, so Trunks flies off (map in hand) and soon spots the university… which he recalls seeing in his own future, destroyed.

Trunks waits outside the university entrance, and when Gohan walks out, he does a double take when he spots Trunks. For his part, Trunks has trouble recognizing Gohan; he cannot sense the same intense power from him as before. They sit together at a park bench and Gohan buys them both ice cream cones. Gohan raves about this local ice cream stand; he always stops there when he is nearby! Trunks still has trouble believing this is the same Gohan who fought Cell. Gohan invites Trunks back to his house, since he would love to introduce him to his family.

At Gohan’s house, everyone is suitably amazed to hear that this is Trunks, but from the future. Gohan introduces Trunks to Videl, then Mister Satan… but Trunks says he already knows Satan (from the Cell Games). However, before Trunks can explain in full, Satan cuts him off, assuming he is a famous hero in Trunks’ future as well. But when Gohan introduces Pan, she squirts Trunks in the face with her milk bottle.

Next Pan starts flying and will not come back down, so Gohan transforms into Great Saiyaman and chases after her. Trunks is dumbfounded, but Videl explains that they always play like this. Having caught Pan, Gohan asks Trunks to stay for dinner. While Videl cooks and Gohan works on academic stuff, Trunks sits with Satan, who shows him a video of when he “fought off” alien invaders. Satan goes to help Videl, leaving Trunks to take care of Pan. When Gohan finishes his work and walks in, he finds Trunks struggling with Pan, and the room is a complete mess.

Outside on the swings, Gohan explains that he tries to be stricter with Pan, but just cannot bring himself to do it. She is too cute! Seeing Gohan play with Pan, Trunks realizes he has never seen an expression of happiness like that on Gohan’s face before. Videl announces that dinner is ready, and while Gohan takes Pan inside, Trunks reflects about how his future could be peaceful like this too if it were not for Black. He could be happily eating dinner with Bulma and Mai right now!

After dinner, Trunks bids farewell to Gohan’s family, telling Gohan to work hard at his studies, while Satan offers to train Trunks next time. Trunks flies back to Capsule Corporation, thinking to himself that Gohan has clearly shown him just what he is fighting for and vows to defeat Black and create a peaceful future where people can smile once more. Meanwhile, Videl wonders why Trunks came from the future in the first place. Gohan forgot to ask…

Back at Capsule Corporation, Bulma and co. are finishing their meal out on the veranda, with kid Trunks still trying to impress Mai. Future Trunks walks out, now changed into the outfit Bulma left for him. He notices Goku is gone, and Kuririn explains that Goku went with Beerus and Whis to Universe 10, where supposedly there is a guy with the same ki as Black. Out in space, Goku is excited to meet this guy, but starts to get on Beerus’ nerves. This is why Beerus did not want to bring him along!

Meanwhile, somewhere far away, a green Kaiōshin pushes a tea tray…
