No fictional character's story is "over" unless the author wants it to be over. If Toriyama or Toei decide to come up with new ideas for Future Trunks, then his story won't be over.

Like I said before, if they want to use the character, and they've got some idea of what to do with him, go for it. As it stands, Trunks after the Cell Arc is essentially a blank slate, so they can do whatever they want with the guy.

Well, yeah, but that doesn't mean that it would be a good idea.

It depends entirely on the execution. Goku's story after the 23rd Budokai was as "over" as Trunks', but Toriyama ended up writing more.

I hope not. Future Trunks was great but his history is finished.

None of those characters make any sense in that timeline since Gohan and Vegeta are dead in the future timeline, and Buu was never revived and killed.
If Bra is anything like she is in EoZ or GT, that character shouldn't exist.
What is wrong with Bra in EoZ? I don't recall her doing anything objectionable, or much of anything other than cheer people on.
Create new timeline of course from the original future timeline.

My point stands -- these characters cannot exist in the original future timeline no matter where you create a new timeline at that point -- Pan, Bra and Uub won't exist in that timeline.

They could come from the future of the *present* timeline, sure. But it seems like a repeat plot, to me.

Make it the future warrior if not stronger at least very relevant. Make the opponent has anti saiyan weapon so the other people can take time to shine much more. Alter reality dimension that make saiyan cannot transform or mind controlling saiyan people. The more blood they have the easier to get controlled too .

The people in charge of DBS are incompetent. They'd butcher Future Trunks so, no, I'd rather not have him return.

This is true.... at least for the anime.

Also, Future Trunks has no reason to return so him coming back for DBS would be bad fanservice.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

No. He'd just be a gag character like Vegeta and ruin his image. Super and GT need to switch fan hatred soon,as it's becoming a chore at this point. If he's done right that'd be good, but I personally don't have faith in Toei myself in them doing Trunks,even if Toiryama himself did it....not sure he knows trunks at this point or cares.
Any post before 8/7/2016 isn't mine. This account was a gift from someone who thought the account was already banned. Saved me the trouble of making a new one haha XD

I love DB/DBZ/DBGT/DBZK/DBS (If I didn't why would I be here? XD)

Evening lads, second post haha.


I wouldn't agree with future Trunks returning in Super, however I think it would be cool if one of Champa Sama's warriors from Uni 6 is an adult Saiyan Trunks that ends up fighting our Uni 7 Vegeta :P.


-Cheers!

By that logic, Bulma shouldn't return to the story after the first story arc. Bulma's goal was to find the Dragon Balls and wish for a boyfriend, and she eventually did find a boyfriend without the need of the DBs.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Not really a fair comparison. Blooma didn't come from a different timeline with one clear purpose. She was still around after she left with Yamcha, and she really hadn't been gone that long when she reappeared. Trunks was brought into the series for one purpose and wasn't meant to be brought back, and bringing him back would only take away from his character, in my opinion.

+1 for no more Future Trunks. He's a great character but as many have stated, his story is completed.
I'd like for the young Trunks to keep growing instead and get to the "History of Trunks" Trunks age.

No. I loved him and he was one of the best characters in the franchise, but they should focus on developing the existing Trunks and grow him and Goten already. It'sgetting beyond silly how they're still potato size

I love Future Trunks but they really need to work on the current version of Trunks who still looks so small even though we're well past the end of the Buu saga by now. Why does he still look the same as he did then?

same as how a 12 year old Goku still looks like a 6 year old.

I really enjoy the concept of Future Trunks. I would like his return but maybe not in the conventional way of the universe 6 vs 7 arc. maybe he can return as a a omen for some kind of new villian that has decimated his universe and needs the help of the Z fighters once again or something. I would love for him to be introduced again as a homage to the android saga. Even though it may seem as a repeat but i love nostalgia(for example in the last episode of Super with piccolo saving Gohan. it brought damn tears to my eyes that piccolo truly sees him as like a son after all these years) or maybe he just comes back to visit and just trains current Trunks and/or Goten to reach new levels. I think Future Trunks could play a good role in the series if done right. However i doubt if he will return as some U6 comabinate as i believe just because it is a parallel reality not a timeline difference because it would mean that universe would father into the timeline as U7 is since Trunks comes a future timeline. I welcome Future Trunks return if it could mean something to the plot, for example a being who consumes universes(which would make it multi-universal threat) took over his and recruits the help of the Z fighters. But i doubt something like this would happen

I agree with that, but at the same time I'm still morbidly curious as to how it would turn out.

Yet tween/teen Future Trunks doesn't look like 6 year old Goku, neither does tween/teen Gohan at any point after Saiyan Saga, neither do tween/teen Pan & Bra (designed by Toriyama himself). Goku excuse doesn't work when entire DBZ showed growth of human and saiyan-human hybrid children to be completly different to Goku
