Does anyone want a Trunks series?

Post by keyz05 » Mon Nov 14, 2016 2:02 am

Doesn't anyone want a Trunks spin-off or game that stars as him? I kind of feel like that's the best idea, so far.

You mean Xenoverse?
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.

I believe we've seen enough of Trunks and his illogical asspulls for now, i'm glad this arc will soon be over with, so we can never have to think of him again.

I wouldn't want it to star him. Maybe Jaco, though!

What happened?! I thought most people before this arc happen wanted FT Trunks return so bad?! Butthurt is strong eh. :lol:

Anyway, for games we already have Xenoverse and DB Heroes.
For the anime, I keep wanting History of Trunks 2 - Buu arc. Can't believe they are letting this chance passing by. With all the hype it's the perfect time to do it.

And that's it.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

I feel like wither you like trunks or hate him now, he could use some downtime before he is in the spot light again. Give it time to settle.

Hopefully those angry will be much less so when/ If he ever returns. (Though hopefully it won't be in Super since they're making such a big thing about him not coming back)

The best idea probably wouldn't have been aggrandizing Trunks after his appearance in the Android / Cell Arc, both in Xenoverse (where it at least is a grand spinoff video game premise and not something intended to be taken seriously) and in Super.

The problem with the type of Future Trunks pandering going on in Super is that it's sort of extremely transparent.
Super Saiyan Blue is not a creative color.
DBZ Movie 3 told a stronger and more believable "Evil Goku" story in 60 minutes than Dragon Ball Super has in 20 episodes. And it did it with better visuals and score.

Wow fans are overly angry about absolutely nothing as always :roll:. Anyways no but I would like a couple of OVAs maybe one about his version of the Majin Buu arc and one on the aftermath of the Zamasu conflict.

No, thanks... With the kind of writing he has received in the on-going arc I think it's best to put him on the shelf. Anyways he got a dedicated tv special already, not many characters from the franchise can say that ;)

No, this was a Trunk's centered arc and i'm fine with that, after this, his story is officially over for me.
I really miss ma boy, Black :( :cry:

I know right, people jump on bandwagons incredibly quickly these days. Just last week it was a fantastic arc and people were loving it, one of the best arcs ever with one of the best villains ever people were saying.

Now because one of extra ass pull on top of all the others which people didn't really have too much of a problem before it's turned the arc to complete shit! Trunks sucks! He's a Gary Stu! Ass pull! Retcon! I never even liked Zamasu anyway, this arc was overated!

Come on mate you're overreacting, I still think this arc is great despite Super's flaws and Zamasu along Black are still awesome, it's just infuriating when things were so promising and the episodes ending the arc disappoint, after such an intrigue and refreshing villain character buildup taking such shortcuts and dropping the very little they could have saved story-wise in regard of power levels was a pretty legit letdown, I mean it's like a musician making an awesome solo and botch the last measures on purpose because what the hell, then sadly people will always remember the last wrong notes no matter what was before lol

I have little expectations for the aftermath

Nah. The let the character rest of the shelf from now on. Yes, they managed to pull something great out of bringing him back again, but I really want Future Trunks' character to be retired now for good. There's nothing left for them for do with the character or his story that wouldn't feel like a carbon copy of the Android/Cell arc or the Future Trunks arc.

He should've stayed retired in the first place and after all the shit they've done with him now? If I never see him again it'll be 10,000 life times too soon.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

He shouldn't have been introduced in the first place.

Android arc was a mistake.

I flip flop on this but yeah, I feel like if you just dropped the whole time travel premise, the Android arc would work significantly better.

Come on mate you're overreacting
It's just frustrating because people don't seem to know what they want. From what I saw on here and YouTube a lot of people didnt want Zamasu to be beaten with the mafuba nor did people want him to be beaten by Zeno because that'd be anticlimactic.

Well he wasn't beaten that way...but it still wasn't good enough.

People did not want Goku to save the day and beat the main villain again. A lot of people wanted Trunks to do that (until very recently and I suppose a lot probably wanted Vegito to aswell).

Well Goku didn't beat the main villain yet again. People had wanted another character to get the spotlight and do that for a change and Trunks did....but that's not good either.

In the last couple months people have been fixated on Vegito being in the series even though it was never guaranteed he would be and not long ago people here thought he might not be in it.

Well Vegito did appear like people really wanted....but he wasn't in it as much as people wanted so that also wasn't good enough.

A lot of people don't like knowing what's going to happen in advance they like a surprise.

Well nobody knew or predicted that Trunks was going to absorb the power of a Spirit Bomb and turn it into a Spirit Blade where he'd then split Zamasu in the middle...but that's not good enough either.
