This is the thing, to make trunks useful in the anime, they turned him into a 2 thirds gary stu, its one of the biggest complaints about that arc.Draconic wrote:Trunks might learn the Genki Dama from the Kaioshin, or something like that. There must be a reason they meet, so I guess that might be it? Maybe they are also going to stay in the present (if they even are in the present) so that's where the energy would come from.
Of course this is all twisting stuff. Trunks isn't shown having a connection to anyone outside of Mai so the moment would hold zero weight, regardless if it's explained well.
Gowasu's death has no impact, since we know Rumoosh has to be alive in the next arc (though I don't put it against Toyotaro, it's not his fault we know this).
The Time Travel stuff Bulma explains is really unnecessary. I don't think it's making the situation any more tense than it already is, so it just feels out of place. I'm fine with retcons, but if they have a purpose at least. Guess we'll have to wait and see what this is all about in future chapters.
Art is pretty conservative. Guess after two action packed chapters it's understadable.
The worst thing of it all is I really can't see how Trunks could help with anything in this whole ordeal, unless he uses the Mafuba like in the anime and that's again, not leading to much, since at the end his timeline still has to be wiped in order for the second Zeno to come to ours. I mean, alright, the villain of the arc is half assed, but does the protagonist have to be too?
We have to ask ourselves, do we want the anime, where trunks was important but only through plot or the manga where he is reduced to a decoy and won't fight.
gowasu's death isn't suppose to hold weight, but change the narrative.
