Do you think Future Trunks had to fight any other threats since we last saw him?
A lot of stuff has happened since he went back to the future… the Tournament of Power, Broly & Paragus, Moro & the Galactic prisoners, Granolah & The Heeters, Cell Max, the resurrection of Frieza, and I suppose the events of Dragon Ball Daima as well. Champa, Abo and Kado, and the superhuman water might still be out there too.

It's been, what, 2 years since then? I doubt it. Between the 10 (?) years since he left and arrived again, he only faced Babidi and Goku Black, and they were both within the last year. So I suppose he'll have another peaceful decade until he has to deal with something else
His timeline's events are already out of order. Boo should have happened sooner. Moro and the ToP should have already happened. Maybe Moro already freed himself from the Galactic Patrol and is somewhere in the universe consuming planets, unaware of Earth's existence.

Re: Do you think Future Trunks had to fight any other threats since we last saw him?
I think he's probably fine and hasn't had any more big problematic enemies show up. If we start after Buu, then...
Yo Son Goku - Son Goku and His Friends Do Not Return. Future Tarble could just show up at any point after Future Cell's defeat, meet his nephew Future Trunks, and have him deal with Future Abo and Cado and then be on his merry way. I'm including this because why not.
Beerus - Who knows what happened to Future Beerus' dream and the prophecy, honestly, he should already have been to Earth even before Future Gohan's death. It's possible he went to see Future Broly instead. That could be interesting.
Golden Frieza - There aren't any Dragon Balls on Earth to resurrect Frieza with. Attacking New Namek for those Dragon Balls would probably not go so well either. The Moro arc shows that the Namekians are willing to fuse together to become stronger to fend off a big threat, and that should be enough for a Frieza Force remnant invasion.
U7 vs U6 - Future Champa might have just been able to collect the Super Dragon Balls in peace, really. Either way, no tournament for Future Trunks to fight in, and no trading the Earth to Universe 6 because it'd be a worthless prize.
Zamasu - Zamasu
ToP - Future Goku isn't around to suggest this. As for deleting universes, "soon" means nothing when you've lived as long as Zeno, so it could be thousands of years until Future Zeno actually goes through with it.
Broly - With Future Frieza still dead, there's not really anyone around to bring Future Broly to Earth in particular. If Future Beerus actually did visit Future Broly, then who knows if he's even alive or on Vampa to be picked up. Maybe Future Broly trains with Future Whis, or maybe he's dead.
Moro - I believe that since Future Buu wasn't defeated but was left sealed instead, Future Moro doesn't get his powers back, so he stays sealed away in prison.
Granolah - Future Frieza is still dead. The whole setup to the conflict wouldn't work.
Super Hero - There's no room for a Red Ribbon in the future when 17 and 18 always wore their emblem while destroying the world for like 20 years, everyone knows them and knows they're the enemy. If Future Dr. Hedo is even alive, I feel like there's no way he could be tricked into making the Gammas and Cell Max.
Daima - I dunno lol

Re: Do you think Future Trunks had to fight any other threats since we last saw him?
I just realized. Toei and Toriyama could have made Trunks just stay with our Goku forever. But if he did that, he WOULD BE way more proactive than anyone in actually ending threats and that could be a bother for the storytelling so sending him off elsewhere was for "The better."Peach wrote: Sat Aug 24, 2024 9:11 pm A lot of stuff has happened since he went back to the future… the Tournament of Power, Broly & Paragus, Moro & the Galactic prisoners, Granolah & The Heeters, Cell Max, the resurrection of Frieza, and I suppose the events of Dragon Ball Daima as well.

Time travel is a crime that is taboo even for the Gods. There's actually a 0% chance that Beerus would allow Futuer Trunks to remain. His very existence, his mere presence, is a threat to Beerus. Especially since Zeno joked about laying off Beerus in the previous arc.Cure Dragon 255 wrote: Mon Aug 26, 2024 1:30 amI just realized.

Akira Toriyama, DBS vol.4 joint interview with ToyotaroAt his core Zamasu is good like Shin, though I guess you could say he was so fastidious that it backfired. But you know, for this "Future Trunks Arc" you had to depict Zamasu and Trunks' inner conflict, right? If this was back when I was drawing the manga myself then I doubt if I could have done it. I mean, I'm not very good at depicting the characters' psychology on the page. So this all came together because now I only have to think up the story. [...] On my own, I doubt I would have been able to express Zamasu's fall to the dark side.

I stand my opinion they should have sent Trunks to Chronoa to become Trunks Xeno
Re: Do you think Future Trunks had to fight any other threats since we last saw him?
In my headcanon the new second weaker trunks becomes the Xeno one. Hence why he's only ss1 at the start of heroes.ankokudaishogun wrote: Mon Aug 26, 2024 5:43 pm I stand my opinion they should have sent Trunks to Chronoa to become Trunks Xeno
Maybe he's even snatched up before meeting the other trunks. Think about it. Chronoa is looking for towa assumes it's trunks and works backwards from the mostly newly created timeline and just pulls him to the time nest.
It'd be funny if the two Trunks never met.

Wouldn't the Dragon Ball being discovered on Planet Cereal still happen regardless of whether Granolah uses it to become the strongest warrior?
Also, couldn't the Frieza Force remnants find Broly without Frieza being alive and recruit him to strengthen their fractured empire? It's possible they go for the Cereal or Namekian Dragon Balls with Broly's help.

Re: Do you think Future Trunks had to fight any other threats since we last saw him?
I honestly hope not. Future Trunks deserves a happy ending or even the somewhat-happy ending that he received. Having to encounter another great threat again and needing to save another timeline would just be sadistic, and it would only establish that the purpose of Future Trunks' existence is to suffer.
I would prefer any potential story that involves Future Trunks again be a slice-of-life, rather than being another arc where he has to train to overcome a villain and/or get the aid of U7's present timeline again.

Moro got some magic back when Kid Boo died, which he didn't in Trunks time, he's just sealed.
Heeters are probably running crime in space but there will always be crime.
7-3 and co are safely in jail.
Meerus never gets zapped outta existence.
21 never gets finished without Boo parts.
Granolah never learns about Trunks and wouldn't beef with him if he did probably.

This. It might not be directly stated that Kid Buu's death is the cause for Moro's magic returning, but it's at least heavily implied.TobyS wrote: Sat Aug 31, 2024 4:51 pm Moro got some magic back when Kid Boo died, which he didn't in Trunks time, he's just sealed.
...sure? Honestly, like my Future Beerus vs. Future Broly idea, this enters fan fiction territory, things are so open when we start to apply "if this, then maybe that, and if that, then maybe this". With enough of that you can do anything. But in general, I feel like the things that happen in space shouldn't be affected by how Earth is different in the future timeline, so if these things happened, then they should've already happened a long time ago. It would be kinda funny if Future Frieza was actually alive because Future Broly got recruited by his army and successfully attacked New Namek for wishes from Porunga, but I don't see it being the case any more than Future Gohan finding Future Videl off-panel before his death and Future Pan secretly existing somewhere on the future Earth. Both are technically possible, but only via a lot of "if this, then maybe that", and it just seems farfetched to me.Peach wrote: Fri Aug 30, 2024 11:19 am Wouldn't the Dragon Ball being discovered on Planet Cereal still happen regardless of whether Granolah uses it to become the strongest warrior?

Re: Do you think Future Trunks had to fight any other threats since we last saw him?
Probably depression since he was unable to save his timeline, making not only his but Gohan's struggles pointless. That, and feeling out of place for obvious reasons.
Seriously tho, unless someone revives Frieza, everything should be fine...unless Moro gets his powers back.
Maybe by the time Toei makes him go back to past again he will have unlocked Beast or something.

Re: Do you think Future Trunks had to fight any other threats since we last saw him?
They didn't know where new namek was though that's why they stole the DB's on earth despite more powerful warriors, they also only got sent to the boonies for a recruitment drive by Freeza recouping, so they don't find Broly till after Freezas revival.Alruneia wrote: Sat Aug 31, 2024 6:59 pmBasically...Peach wrote: Fri Aug 30, 2024 11:19 am How would Buu not being released affect Moro?

It's also in the future plus however long they'd take to find Namek so Paragus is already dead most likely.
And most of all Freezas army seemed to be collapsing to infighting and revolution, resurecting Freeza was a last ditch effort they wouldn't have time to pull off imo. But yeah you do you with the fics I guess.

Re: Do you think Future Trunks had to fight any other threats since we last saw him?
most likely. i mean earth is there for the taking and hes the only who can defend it. so in a huge universe of course there would be more threats all the time. the question is if they are strong enough to beat him. i would bet it would come from the demon realm to avenge dabura
Re: Do you think Future Trunks had to fight any other threats since we last saw him?
I didn't even think about Dabura. Maybe the fuckers from Dragon Ball Daima come after him.SelfTrainedNamekian wrote: Fri Sep 27, 2024 4:04 pm most likely. i mean earth is there for the taking and hes the only who can defend it. so in a huge universe of course there would be more threats all the time. the question is if they are strong enough to beat him. i would bet it would come from the demon realm to avenge dabura

In another timeline, I would imagine Trunks could have defeated Baby. Seeing that he is the only GT villain can exist in Trunks world.
