So how does the Future Trunks arc stand in comparison to every other arc?

[Doctor.]

Now that the arc is pretty much finished, with only one or two episodes to tie up loose ends like Zamasu's fate, Trunks' world, and so on, which will likely not have that much of an impact on the plot as a whole, what do you think of the Future Trunks arc? How does it compare to the other arcs of DB, Z and GT? Feel free to rank them in order of best to worst.

I should rewatch the entire arc to give my final thoughts but, so far, i think that this arc surpasses or is on par with the Cell arc,surpasses the majin buu arc and the baby arc, but it doesn't come close to be like the Namek saga, the saiyan saga or the Piccolo Daimao saga (i'm counting the tournamen with Piccolo jr as well)

[TheMikado]

Its not the worse arc but the rehash and fanservice killed it for me. I will say it far and away has the least satisfying ending so far. I'll reserve judgment until the very end, but I feel its setting itself up to have the most unsatisfactory resolution in the entire franchise.

[Neo-Makaiōshin]

Above all of GT and above the Android and Cell Arc and Majin Bu Arc and above the first arc in the franchise ,above all 3 arcs prior in Super. Overall it would be in my number 6 spot.

[Alee9977]

I will wait until the arc is really really over to rate it, but so far, above all GT and Cell arc.

[ekrolo2]

At absolute most, I rank it somewhere close to the Boo arc, it's all a crock of nonsensical horseshit but there were a few things executed well enough for me to keep it above the worst of the worst like the BoG, F and Cell arcs.

Wait, why is the Cell arc worse than the Buu arc? out of curiosity of course, this is actually the first time i see this rank.

Pretty much nothing works in the Cell arc for me. The setup is completely contrived as Future Trunks' timeline can't stay a desolate wasteland unless you make every dead fighter lazy and/or a prick. The much hyped Android's aren't threatening in the least save for Cell who's whole character becomes a shittier Younger Toguro once he attains Perfection. Gohan taking over for Goku literally comes out of nowhere with no proper build up, as does Gohan's sudden genre savviness and lack of fighting spirit. Most of the fights are boring as piss, save for Goku vs Cell and if it wasn't for the start of Vegeta's development right at the end, there'd be nothing of value in that arc whatsoever.

The Boo arc is a whole load of nonsense and bullshit too, but the developments of Vegeta, Mister Satan, and Majin Boo are too good to ignore and certainly make the Boo arc a couple notches above the Cell one.

I don't know how to compare it to Z, but it definitely beats out everything in GT. I feel like it could have been better. A great idea with better execution than anything in GT, but not as good as the arcs in the manga.

[MagmonKai]

It still doesn't compare to anything in Z. I hate the pacing of Super, everything happens so darn fast you can't tell what's going on. They need to slow it down a notch. I really didn't know how I would feel about making a "Evil" Goku or having a rogue Supreme Kai. I thought it was great fan service. I think despite the idiotic things Goku did, and the extreme ass-pull power ups from Trunks and the silly retcons for the Potaras, I still think this was the best DBS arc out of all 4. I enjoyed it, and that really is the purpose of the show, to make you feel like watching for entertainment purposes. I hope they correct the issues of the past and make an even better arc than this one.

[Bansho64]

Out of anything in this franchise, The only arcs I'd put it over would be the Boo arc, the BOG arc, the ROF arc. I like pretty much everything else we've gotten over it.

You are to much on nostalgia when you think every arc of Z is better than the trunks arc

No, I just don't think it would be fair to try. Things are so much different. I can only compare it to the arcs in within the series.

Or, he has a genuine opinion just like you do. Don't go making random assumptions like that.

[Nekis13]

Hmm, I haven't rewatched DB in a while so I'm gonna leave that out. I guess for me it'd go like this:

1. Buu (Something about it, it's just something about it that I love.)
2. Battle of Gods (counting the Movie here as well)
3. Future Trunks
4. Cell / Universe 6
5. Saiyan Saga / Namek Saga (I count them as one.)
6. RoF
7. Shadow Dragons
8. The rest of GT

[nite_jay]

In my opinion...

1.Piccolo Daimao
2.23rd Budokai
3.RR Army
4.Saiyan
5.Freeza
6.22nd Budokai
7.Future Trunks DBS

[FTW395]

Definitely the best arc in Dragonball Super, beats most of GT and the android saga of Z.
On a side note: Why are people here not a big fan of the Buu arc? In my opinion it's best arc in all of Dragonball. It brought so many new things to the table.

Huh, it really makes sense.

This thread is a bit premature.

The last episode(s) might pump it down or up, for all we know this arc was nothing more than a set up; a Raditz arc of sorts. How Zeno-chan will react to the whole time-travel shenanigans is important, it's one of the main themes of the arc.
They might also give us Trunks rebuilding his World and having a family with Mai, which again will certainly influence the opinion about the arc.

I agree the arc isn't over yet. A lot can change with an extra 20 minutes.

Currently I'd say I've enjoyed it more then any Z arc for sure. But yeah I will need the last episode then rewatch it from start to finish to see how I really feel about it. (Saving the whole binge rewatch for the dub).
