Well, it could potentially affect multiple timelines.
Relight wrote:^Don't speak about Future Trunks that way, he risked everything to make a better future not only for the past, but for his timeline as well. Of course when he came back he was seeking vengeance and happy as hell to finally kill these demented psychotic cyborg bastards, and of course he took pleasure in it. Could you blame him? They ruined his life, took his father from him, robbed him of his one and only friend, made him and his mom exist in a living hell. Future Trunks is an inherently good character, he proves this through and through - yes, he may be a little prejudice against androids, but after going through what he did, you would be too.
FindKenshi is obviously joking.

He's probably the only pure and super-strong candidate for the God of Earth left, so maybe. But I don't think he ever did, since if he became God, then he may not be allowed to fend off any future threats, and there are practically no super warriors left. Even if Kame-sennin took on a new school of students, none of them would have Saiyan blood, therefore they'd never be strong enough to even defeat enemies stronger than Freeza.

It looks as if here speaks the Trunks' fanboy side of yours. Human-Saiyan hybrids don't tend to train that much unless forced/for playfighting, and it's really hard to imagine future Trunks achieving SSJ2. Really.
I'm not so sure about that. While Trunks isn't a full-blooded Saiyan who doesn't have the same drive as Gokuu and Vegeta, he think he'd feel it was his duty, as the last super-warrior on Earth, to keep up his strength in case another threat appeared. So I don't think it's that hard to imagine future Trunks reaching SS2. He doesn't seem like the type of person to slack off (Gohan, Goten and Trunks were Earthlings at heart who didn't grow up in an apocalypse and wanted normal Earthling lives, and Gokuu and Vegeta were still alive to train anyway).
Yeah, it would probably take him longer than Gokuu and Vegeta, but I don't think it's a stretch to say he eventually reached it. Unless he needs a rage catalyst like Gohan.
