Future Trunks in GT?

Post by dragonpearls » Wed Apr 06, 2005 10:18 pm

I seen most of Dragonball GT. And from what I've seen, they have shown or mention part of the past (Dragonball /Z).

But one thing that I have noticed is that they never mention Future Trunks, or his roll in the dragonworld.

...Like I said before, I haven't seen the whole show.
I want to know if they did said anything about him. If not, why do you think they didn't?

The same reason they never mentioned him in the Buu saga. He's so far removed and has nothing to do with their current lives or events, he's just irrelevant.

What would they say?

"OMG EVIL DRAGONS!!!11 Hey, remember when Trunks came from the future? That was awesome."

But like VegettoEX said, it remains irrelevant.

Sure, they might bring it up over tea in their non-existant lives every once in a while, but if it doesn't pertain to the plot, then it's unnecessary dialogue.

What is there about Future Trunks? He came, he helped out and he's back to his normal life. There isn't much to talk about.

They could call it Dragon Ball AF (Alternate Future). Heh heh, that would be funny. :)

You know what... no. We don't need that right about now.

Future Trunks is probably dead.

Well there certainly could have been places to mention it, but I doubt Pan and Goku want to tell current timeline Trunks how he measures up to the one from the future. I'm sure he got enough grief from that from Vegeta growing up...

1.) It's Japanese, one e.
2.) I don't remember hearing them mention Trunks in the dub, after he goes back in time, at all... but if he was, it doesn't mean anything by continuity.

I don't speak Japanese, either. I'm perfectly capable of watching the show in Japanese, though. That's what that Japanese audio track with subtitles is for.

And it does matter a whole lot. What you hear in the English dub isn't necessarily the same thing that's actually being said in the Japanese version. I don't know jack about Star Wars, so this is a really weird analogy for me to use, but if Darth Vader happened to say "Luke, I am your uncle!" in a Japanese dub of the movie... that doesn't mean he's the uncle. It means the line is incorrect, and shouldn't be taken seriously.

I do.

All he was doing was answering the question that this thread is based around.
