If it's not trunks, I actually think Piccolo. In my heart I want it to be Gohan, but him connecting to another universe doesn't make sense atm. But I think the Namekians in another universe could help Piccolo!

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

Please don't do this. :cry:

God why do I get hyped for so fucking little? That image of Piccolo and Gohan training on the new ending got me hard.

Haha we're in the same boat man. I was happy to see that too!

Well they have to do something with that Gohan build-up, right? Right...?

Probably, but I don't think it's this. How would he be connected to another universe? I expect a power up in the future though. It's almost a guarantee he'll fight in the future. If there is a threat, there is gohan. So no powerup would look weird as hell when he's been training. No guarantee on being relevant or god like powers though (although I personally hope he will). I don't think

So that's all we got from the other interview? Disappointing. The bonus interview was more exciting.

For a second, I thought this meant the V-Jump interview had been almost retconned. But, no. They're talking about the same thing.

I was getting my hopes up for a second.
I could have gotten into anything...and yet I chose the story aimed at young Japanese boys about martial arts, and later about super-powerful aliens punching each other really hard.

Yeah, I can see how the answer in this interview is essentially the same. I still have no idea what's in store though. Once again, I just hope that if Trunks is still the person Toriyama is hinting at, that he actually has a good reason for returning! It would be interesting to see someone from the current cast getting their own plot, but I don't know who that would be.

Oh so he said future of certain somebody not somebody from the future. That changes things.

Not really. He said both. It's two different interview questions that result in the same answer, with slightly different wording. The way Herms translated this one, the end result is the same as well. There's no reason to put the word future in quotations unless it has a deeper meaning in context to the answer.
Direct translations of the Korean DB Online timeline and guidebook.

Maybe there'll be a Future Trunks in U6 who's connected to whatever happened to their Earth.

Unless Toriyama is talking about an actual new universe that is not 6, which i guess is a possibility, with the recent revelation that the "cube" can cross between universes.

So, it's just the future of somebody....
We know Gohan isn't here and he must be beloved by the kids, add the fact than Toyotaro is basically a Gohan's fanboy...
But it can be also the future of Kyabe.
So i'm pretty sure it's Gohan or Kyabe.

Sadly, there's nothing related to Future Trunks....

They're such different Heights. I wonder how that would turn out lol. I'd rather see gohan and future trunks though. They've had past history, have similar potentials, and are around the same height (and age?).

Because it's tied to "a certain character" that already exists and is very popular.

It's easy to misinterpret all this "future" stuff but the fact those words are in quotes and the V-Jump interview all point to the same conclusion. Think of "future" as a location we all refer to as "the future" in this series, not just unknown stuff a character will do years from now.

As a location? I don't understand what you're trying to say with your last sentence. Could you reword, please?

Sure. What I mean is that, whenever we think about Trunks' timeline, we picture a separate, different world than the one the manga follows, right? So, in this case, "future" probably means that different world where he's the only Z Warrior alive.

My assumption is that something happens there that connects it to another Universe or something like that.

Oh, well, that could be quite interesting and mystic if that's the case.

-Volume cover-
I already had thought the cover looked beautiful, because Toyotaro really nailed Toriyama's style. If anyone told me that wasn't made by Toriyama himself, I wouldn't believe it.

But have Vegeta riding Porunga on the back cover?! I didn't thought about that. Freaking genius!

11/10 Best volume cover I ever saw in my life.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.
