Would you like Future Trunks to return in DBS?

[emperior]

As the title says, would you like him to return?

It would be good in my opinion to see him again for some episodes. Also to know what happened in his future and to see his progresses. He should have achieved SSJ2 by now, maybe even SSJ3, who knows.

[Hellspawn28]

No because his story is done and finished. I feel like the last two manga chapters of the Cell saga and the final episode of the Cell saga was a good ending to Future Trunks character. Cell and #17-18 are gone and he can restore the world back to normal after decades of chaos and darkness. He has no reason to go back in time again.

[fadeddreams5]

Yes. Inconspicuously to resolve a Time Patrol problem, leading to an interaction with Goten. Super is mostly comedy, right? Well, that's a concept to play with.

Of course, Time Patrol is only a video game thing, so if he's not part of that, then no. There is no point in him returning, unless it's in a special episode that revolves around him in his own timeline.

I WOULD have liked to see him return one last time during the lost era (post-Cell Games), but eh.

Bojack's a thing though.

One of my favorite DBZ movies. Too bad the villains suck.

[Sandubadear]

Yes, but no. The fanboy in me would surely like seeing him again, but I'm sure that they wouldn't be able to make it good, and Trunks' story is one of the few things in Dragon Ball that ended "right", so it's for the best if he never appears again.

For a short appearance I'd be done for. Otherwise his character is kinda done. What else can be done? We already have a Trunks and don't need a second one.

Hasn't stopped the other character who were done ages ago from getting brought back well past the point of their relevancy.

Well they are part of this time period. I'm not sure what the point of bringing back Future Trunks would be since he'd just sit by the sides along with the others. Plus his story wrapped up real nice so there's no need for him to come back.

[precita]

I feel like the Bojack movie was a good final appearance for him. He came back to the present telling everyone he killed the Androids in his time, then helps them fight Bojack, and that's it.

[Hellspawn28]

The biggest issue with AF fan fictions that I had in the past is that people will bring back characters like Future Trunks when they had no reason to return. Just to show up just to fight seems like bad fan service to me.

That's F's mook scene in a nutshell for plenty of characters .

[Friezacooler]

Would take a reality Warper to bring trunks into supers story, but when that time comes he better see it coming such type of a foe and trained to combat them. Unless the Kai's did that for Trunks ritual similar
To Gohan but on a higher scale.

[Lord Beerus]

Hell no. Future Trunks has played his part in the story and his character development has come full circle. Leave the character alone for good. I don't want him being needlessly pimped out into the other stories just for shits and giggles. I really don't want him to turn into Bardock.

[Truhan]

There should have been two future Cells. One is killed by Trunks as he arrives from the past where Gohan killed the other. This other would kill Trunks afterwards and travel back in time to face Gohan (and be killed), completing the cycle. No Trunks in the future, which would be a pretty grim ending for him that could be left as nuance.

[Gyt Kaliba]

Depends on how they used him, I guess. There's some good material to be had with him dealing with his younger self and Goten maybe, but beyond that...eh. *shrug* He was never my favorite character anyway though.

Actually, seeing him interact with this newer style Vegeta could be pretty great too.

[Khin]

Unless there will be a villain that will be a threat to all the timelines(like Demigra) i see no reason why Trunks would return,if anything i just want them to show his current life.

[OkamiTakahashi]

Well, to be honest, it wouldn't surprise me. You know why? Because Trunks in Xenoverse suggests he created the GT timeline through his time travelling. He's only gone back twice and that created two branches- one where he's present in the Cell games and apparently one where he isn't. Neither of those trips, at least how I see it, justify the creation of GT's events, and if GT really is a split/alteration in Goku's timeline, well then that would create a split where GT's events, and therefore everything after GT (Heroes, UT, Xenoverse, Online, all which have been stated to take place afterwards), never happen- it would just end at End of Z. Guh, this whole canon/timeline thing has gotten so far out of control with too many unofficial claims by fans on what counts and what doesn't, and the presence of actual timelines put out by Toei for Battle of Gods and Dragon Ball Heroes just contrives things even more for me. I just want a simple explanation or two and a properly sorted timeline- an official one preferably. If not- one figured out by a fan who's done their research. I'd do it myself but GT haters just wanna shut me down with their own opinions they claim to be fact.

[Kamiccolo9]

I don't get the whole "he won't come back because his story is over and he doesn't have a reason to come back" mindset. This is fiction. The writers can give him whatever motivation he wants. As long as they can come up with something halfway reasonable, I wouldn't mind him coming back for an arc or so. If anything, the character's popularity would encourage Toriyama/Toei to focus on a character that isn't Goku or Vegeta for once.

[irreality]

I would love to see a scene that had Future Trunks interacting with Present Trunks, maybe being mutually jealous of the ways Vegeta treats each of them. But, I can't see them writing a scene with serious emotional depth unless the fate of the world is at stake somehow, and I just want something more understated. So maybe I'll just write some fanfiction instead.

As for him actually coming back for a plot related reason: dunno, I feel it would create more time-related problems than it could ever solve. I mean, he could come back for a visit and something suddenly turns up, but, ug, it would have to be done quite well to justify it. They could just have Goten and Trunks grow up with a smidgen of training zeal and stop using Gotenks, and that would be preferable.
