Movie 8 Vegeta/Trunks compared to Movie 9 Vegeta /Trunks

Post by DBZ Expert » Wed Nov 23, 2022 3:54 pm

Even though it's well acepted that Movie 9 Vegeta and Trunks are 1st Post RoSaT SSjinG 2, I will still show the differences between Movie 8 Vegeta and Trunks to Movie 9 Vegeta and Trunks to show how in Movie 8, they are SSjinG 2 while in Movie 9 they are SSjins.

Vegeta transforms:

Seems to get buff.

Look how Vegeta's body and muscles are all huge.

His head looks smaller than his body.


Look how huge Vegeta's arms are:
Look how buff Trunks is as his jacket even got torn apart.

Vegeta kicks Broli like he did against Cell because it's the same SSjinG 2 Vegeta.
Vegeta looks buff as hell

Look how SSjinG 2 Vegeta goes back to base. You can see the muscle's size difference.
Look how huge Future Trunks is:

Look how huge Future Trunks's neck is
Vegeta transforms. Notice the muscles difference

Vegeta seems grade 2 here:

Really buff here:

OMG! He is so buff his leg even crushes the ground

Here too:

Look how huge Future Trunks's arms and legs are

Vegeta and Trunks are definitely grade 2 in Movie 8.

Now for Movie 9

Future Trunks transforms

No muscles difference. His Jacket doesn't get torn apart.

No huge muscles


Future Trunks's leg is not large
Future Trunks goes back to base. No muscles change

Future Trunks transforms. No muscles change. The Jacket doesn't get torn apart.

Looks SSjin.

No grade 2 features.

Looks too skinny.

Goes back to base. No muscles change.

Vegeta appears

Definitely SSjin.

Looks SSjin. No huge muscles.

Future Trunks looks SSjin.

Looks like a regular SSjin.

Just SSjin.

Both Future Trunks and Vegeta are not buff.

Future Trunks is not buff.

Future Trunks goes back to base. No muscles change.

Movie 8 they are SSjinG 2s
Movie 9 they are SSjins

Everyone knows they're SS in m9 and Grade 2 in M8 from my understanding.

They should've gone all the way and had Trunks use Grade 3 against Broly; after all, that was what inspired Broly! I suppose semi-buff Grade 2 Trunks is good enough.

Good and interesting post! I believe that by movie 9 both Future Trunks and Vegeta were using Full Power Super Saiyan. Just like how Goku and Gohan did before the Cell Games. The Z movies were just recaps of the last seen sagas/canon materials in a somewhat different plot.
