Yep , I completely ship those two as well they’re practically a canon couple by the end of Z for sure
I mean just look at Vegeta he’s like:
I knew it all along…my son is officially gay.
In fact I was thinking about starting a new topic soon about their relationship
Really ?? In the 2nd ending?
I don’t remember since it’s been ages that I’ve last seen GT
Were they shown sharing a sundae or something? I gotta rewatch that now lol

Re: Future Trunks’ Sexual Orientation
Yeah it can be assumed that Toriyama obviously wrote all the main characters to be straight as he’s not the type to deal with complex sexual relationships or anything like thatMasenkoHA wrote: ↑Mon Jun 27, 2022 5:52 pmThe relationship with Mai confirms he's at least attracted to women, yeah.PurestEvil wrote: ↑Mon Jun 27, 2022 5:48 pm Has he ever actually been shown having affection for another man? The only person we see him show any sort of "love" for is Mai (a woman), so at the very least he is not homo or aro-ace. We can think of different theories, but all that's speculation.
And Dragon Ball isn't exactly the kind of show that deals with nuance and grey areas in sexuality so its a probably a safe indicator that he's written to be straight.

Re: Future Trunks’ Sexual Orientation
How Trunks and Mai got together and whether its narrative execution was handled well is irrelevant, the fact remains that they are most definitely a couple.
Also, I am not sure why present Trunks is being brought up when this thread is about Future Trunks.

Re: Future Trunks’ Sexual Orientation
The Mai thing always creeps me out, especially with kid Trunks.
Imagine having a storyline in which a 30-40 year old man gets a younger body and starts to flirt with a girl that's about 8 years old.
Oof!

Re: Future Trunks’ Sexual Orientation
Don't give the writers any ideas. I don't think they're above it.
While I like the idea and it will probably be my headcanon from now on, I really don't believe the creators were intending on hinting at Future Trunks as gay. Also, for those that believe Trunks and Goten are gay in GT, the GT 2nd ending does not indicate anything as Goten is seen walking with the red hair girl (don't remember name) later on.
It's a neat idea. We just don't live in that timeline though.

I had a feeling Present Trunks would be brought up anyway even though I specifically said this thread was about Future Trunks as each version of Trunks is different personality wise but that tends to happen a lot in discussions when people compare and get off subject
I mean technically they ARE the same person but Future Trunks’ shyness makes him much more bashful around women than present Trunks for instance so that’s why I mentioned only Future Trunks as his orientation could possibly be different than present Trunks due to his lack of interaction with other people besides his mom
I mean when you talk about Future Trunks its kinda hard NOT to bring up present Trunks when you compare their differences

Yeah I was thinking that Goten would be with her instead of Trunks bc that would make more sense as Goten was dating her in GT
And I think her name was Valice but yeah I forget her name too as she was pretty ditsy and forgettable

Tbh I'd rather Goten be gay for Trunks than be with that girl. The son of Goku deserves better than some dumb blonde.

I know right?
I honestly ship those two a lot as they have extremely good chemistry ever since they were best friends as kids
They did absolutely everything together !
I mean EVERYTHING!
Played, ate, slept, trained, sparred, and even peed together side by side
(I don’t need to be a male to know that peeing right next to another male is kinda gay and they were pretty darn close to each other too SO close you think their streams would cross)
Anyway, their compatibility together is infinitely more believable than Goten and that ditsy idiot of a girl
Who knows maybe Goten is trying extra hard to look straight but he IS actually gay for Trunks but is desperately attempting to hide it by constantly going out with girls as he might be afraid of being rejected by his life long best bromance friend
I mean he won’t know until he actually asks Trunks and he might even feel the same way about Goten for all he knows
Sometimes some guys don’t know they are gay until they realize that they have a man crush on their best friend making it officially a high tier bromance and potentially even a lover romance if both of them feel the same way

In fact, this whole post reeks of the "Guys can't be close friends unless they're secretly gay for each other" fangirl logic.

Not gonna lie I DO have fangirl logic when I ship very close best friends together in anime or a pairing that I just wanna see together as a couple or have a one night stand or something (bc I’m kinda a pervert fujoshi like that sometimes)
but of course I know that guys in anime or otherwise don’t have to be secretly gay for each other to be best friends I’m just shipping the two of them specifically extra hard bc I think they would legit make a good couple as they are very compatible but that doesn’t mean that they ever will be a couple I just fantasize how they would be together
But that’s what fanfics are for that and fan art/doujinshi and if you wanna go even further down the rabbit hole : rule 34
Anyway that’s why “fan couples” exist bc fangirls and fanboys want to see shippings if characters that will otherwise never be an official canon couple or simply bc they just wanna see porn of their favorite characters or ones they are attracted to hence the internet phenomenon that is “waifus and husbandos”
I mean it’s not just with guys , people myself included ship together some female anime best friends with each other too
(I completely ship Soifon with Yoruichi from Bleach for example but that’s much more of a one sided crush) and of course shipping of heterosexual best friends is the most common

Thirteen, to be precise.SorikaiWolf89 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 27, 2022 9:21 pmI never was a fan of Pan x Trunks bc the age gap is about 20 years apart
Trunks is just 23 years old in Dragon Ball GT (24 years old, by the second half of it).
But your point stands. It's bizarre to even imagine Trunks and Pan in a relationship. At least until she's eighteen (though Trunks would be thirty-one, by that pont).

I’d forgotten the exact number of years that passed between the series
Also I confused his age with DB Super Trunks age who is in his early 30s if I remember correctly
But yeah the age gap is still WAY too big between them if you ask me
Trunks would be a legit pedo if he ever developed a crush on Pan but hopefully that’s never going to happen as I’m not a fan of them as a couple anyway regardless of the age gap even if they were the same age

Re: Future Trunks’ Sexual Orientation
You can ship Trunks and Goten if you really want to, but the thread was not about shipping but Trunks' sexual orientation and officially there is nothing that says that Trunks is homosexual.SorikaiWolf89 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 28, 2022 8:38 pm Haha yeah I guess that part wasn’t necessary after all

Re: Future Trunks’ Sexual Orientation
This is pretty straightforward. Sure, we are now thinking differently, as anyone can be basically anything, in whatever way you can imagine and we respect that.
But back then, also the same time I grew up, Dragon Ball was and basically Dragon Ball is coming from Toriyama, a series for elementary school and pre teen boys with everything that comes with it.
So they are basically treating Trunks as a kid that probably is not interested in girls yet, but well he actually IS!
Hahaha, adolescent humor
It's kinda fun how people are trying to find hints and pieces on stuff like that, but same as 60s Batman was stupid and campy and it is what it is, this is the same. Testament of it's time and it's creators of a certain generation. And I think it will stay that way, coming from the same people.

He's straight. He is meant to be with Mai no matter the timeline, as we all saw in Dragon Ball Super, both manga and anime.
