Future Trunks theme songs in JP media
I'm trying to get a list of all Future Trunks related theme songs from Japanese Dragon Ball media. As I've recently been listening to my favorite melodies from the series, I noticed that a good chunk of them are related to Future Trunks. So, I'm trying to find all theme songs associated with him, particularly from non-anime media that I do not know of. These are the ones that I know of.

What other theme songs associated to Future Trunks am I missing? Especially from other video games, image songs and other Japanese media that's not anime directly.

Re: Future Trunks theme songs in JP media
Dokkan has many Trunks units with unique OST. You can search for the others pretty easily.

DBFZ and Shin Budokai are two other games where I know he has a unique OST.

Re: Future Trunks theme songs in JP media
He got his own theme in FighterZ as well.
Re: Future Trunks theme songs in JP media
Thanks to both, Makaioshin and Jord. I didn't find any specific Trunks theme in Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai, only in the sequel. Am I missing something else?
Re: Future Trunks theme songs in JP media
Are you sure about Shin Budokai? I was unable to find a unique Future Trunks theme song in the 2006 game and, although I did find a video that claims to be Trunks theme from Another Road, footage of the 2007 sequel makes me believe that Trunks does not have a unique theme song there either.Makaioshin wrote: Thu May 30, 2024 9:41 pm DBFZ and Shin Budokai are two other games where I know he has a unique OST.

Re: Future Trunks theme songs in JP media
Oh yeah, I meant specifically the sequel which is centered on Trunks and his future. Each character has a theme that plays during their arcade mode fight.jfgslo wrote: Tue Dec 31, 2024 3:33 pmAre you sure about Shin Budokai?

Re: Future Trunks theme songs in JP media
After thoroughly checking arcade mode gameplay videos, neither normal Trunks nor Future Trunks appear to have a specific theme when facing them in arcade mode. For example, Android 18 faces Future Trunks in the second bout with a different theme than the one used when Fat Majin Buu fights Future Trunks in arcade mode in the fifth bout. Both Trunks also don't seem to have a specific theme song when using them during arcade mode.Makaioshin wrote: Thu Jan 02, 2025 9:04 pm Oh yeah, I meant specifically the sequel which is centered on Trunks and his future.

As far as I can tell, the theme associated to Future Trunks in Shin Budokai - Another Road, called "Future Trunks Theme" in a single YouTube video, seems to be the one used for the alternative path that results from failing to defeat Dabura in chapter 1, which leads to the player controlling Fat Majin Buu against Future Trunks and opening one of the alternative bad endings. The issue is that that particular theme, seems to be used for other fights in Another Road mode only: Gogeta vs Janemba in chapter 6, Future Trunks vs Super Buu in chapter 6, Vegito vs Super Buu Gohan absorbed in chapter 6 and Gogeta vs Super Buu in various forms during chapter 7.
So, while I guess it should be considered as a Future Trunks theme song since it's associated to a Future Trunks specific bout, I'm not quite sure if it should be called "Future Trunks Theme", but I don't know if it would be better to call it "Track 24" either. Too bad there is no official OST.
