Did Krilin do nothing in the Namek arc just because he was weaker than Freeza? No, Toriyama decided not to give him nonsensical power ups, same with Trunks in this arc, both did a lot in their arcs. Toyotaro followed Toriyama's plot, good for him. Trunks sacrifized so Goku and Vegeta could escape to get a solution. He cured Goku so he could fight and use the mastered SSB and the Hakai. He would have killed Black, if the defusion would have been normal.
If you mean he didn't had a huge power up to fight, ok, he didn't. Better that than nonsensical transformations or a spontaneous Genki ball added to his sword, which was nonsensical too.
I mean, THE FUTURE TRUNKS ARC gives Trunks a role as important as Krilin's, you might start questioning it.
Plus he didn't need a power up, he could have easily cut off the arm that had the ring. Anything at all. Not passively watching and letting Goku do everything. As if Goku's asspull was any better than making Trunks useful.
At least try, especially if Zeno is the end goal.
This was a very disappointing arc.
( I know Vegetto did but I don't care, nothin forced him to make the time ring useless in the first place )
