We have 4 Timelines in the manga. Timeline 1 has the present Trunks we know (who doesn't become a swordsman until his 30s), Timeline 2 has the Future Trunks we know, Timeline 3 has the Future Trunks that gets killed from Cell, and Timeline 4 should have another present Trunks.

So, the only Future Trunks that remains is the one we all know.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

But isn't Piccolo alive in TP Trunks' timeline?

And while this is from the DB wiki, I don't know much about DBO, so maybe you could tell me if it's wrong.
If reviewing the timeline and taking the events of the original manga into consideration, it is clear that Time Patrol Trunks is neither of the two Trunks characters. It is known that Trunks alongside Goten created the Kikoukenjutsu Sword School around Age 805. This would put the two half-Saiyans in their mid-30s during the development of their school, and in their 50s by the time the Kikoukenjutsu school fended off remnants of the Frieza's Planet Trade Organization (an event that occurred in Age 820, before Miira's threat was known). If Future Trunks was still alive in his timeline, this would make him even older than the present timeline's Trunks. However, Time Patrol Trunks appears to be at the same age Future Trunks was during his manga debut.

No, I think that Trunks went back (or should I say forth?) to Timeline 1 and warned Dende & Piccolo. There is some confusing shit going on with the translations that have me confused in the last months...TheDevilsCorpse should know better. :P

Also, fuck the DBWikia. :twisted:

There's always Master Roshi. Him and Trunks could be the best show ever.. Them trying to find babes.

Ah, ok. Hopefully he'll see this.

As for the wiki, it was a moment of weakness. It won't happen again :oops:

The half breeds are special. They training goku and vegeta been through is indeed hell, but the halfbreeds dont even have to try as hard as goku and vegeta. Even goku stated that gohan hasnt did as much as training and fighting as he did in his life time, and gohan surpassed him without knowing. Cell stated that trunks was more powerful than him but lacked speed, imagine if trunks trasformed properly.

Dragon Ball Online is a perfect example of Future Trunks Having His Own Series. And doesnt have to be the only character he could meet new friends in his time travel..

prologue:

After Majin Buu's defeat, the supreme kai and elder kai could introduce future trunks to a even higher kai, a special kai in which governs and watches over all timelines. His observation of future trunks's time travel potential allows him to recruit future trunks as a warrior time. In collect the jikan star dragon balls, in order to save existence. Thats a example summary, I have a few more.

You see, if guys think about it, Future Trunks Timeline is leaves room for a lot of new ideas, heroes, villians and sagas, because his timeline has become so distinct from the present timeline. The series can focus around trunks collecting the jikan dragon balls seperated through out different timelines, he must collect them before they get into the wrong hands, or to restore order with time itself.

You sure he didn't say. "He's been fighting along side us this whole time and still being able to keep up.". Cause Gohan fought in every arc.
Cell stated that trunks was more powerful than him but lacked speed, imagine if trunks trasformed properly.
Cell as holding back. If Trunks went ssj2 then Cell would have went full power and kill Trunks. Gohan > Trunks by a big deal till Trunks went into the ROSAT for the second time. Then the gap got smaller.

That's not Future Trunks through. There's no logical Trunks for that. Besides Majin Boo here's no logical way someone to be as strong as Cell. Trunks has no reason to time travel no more. His troubles are done. Let's pretend if Namek blows up.Trunks would't care and neither would Bulma. They would only care or realize something bad happen if they go to Earth.

That is honestly bad. We don't even need a Kai of time. That's just over kill and very well not needed. Why would there be a time Dragonball anyways? That's honestly a worst idea than the Black Star Dragonball. Only Nameks can create dragonballs. The idea of that is honestly bad. Unless Trunks matches Goku(Boo Arc), Vegeta(Majin and Post Majin), or SSJ2 Gohan(Rage and Cell games) or at least become 90% of them he won't be impressive.

Future timeline doesn't lead to new ideas. A kid named Trunks grew up in hell and as an adult he become a warrior and killed the androids so he could live in peace. Yes he might do some type of basic training so it won't get rusty but I'm sure he retired from fighting and only train so his power won't go away JUST in-case. Let's say Trunks created other timelines because he time travel since the manga hints that. Would't time travel create NEW timelines. Also would't the time Dragonballs be complete stupid? If they restore order in time would't that kill the other timelines? Think about. All but the original Timeline(Trunks's as hinted in manga) would be destroyed.

Just because Trunks is badass or a fan favorite doesn't mean he needs his own series. His timeline is in peace now. He deserves peace.

Actually there is no prove that he's not future trunks. Even though I didnt state that.

The whole universe needs peace, but that only psychological,. Peace doesn't mean to be away from noise, or chaos, it means to be in the midst of all that and still be calm in your heart.

And of thats not an idea, its and "example" as I stated. I was trying to prove my point in a story being built in Trunks's timeline. And actually there is actually nothing about this idea of "series", that can pose any plot hole. Pretty much you can only say its no "need". :) why not, it will interesting to see how things would go in Trunks's timeline. Sure you can say he need peace, but that in ones mind,. And besides, its no different than a series after buu saga or GT, "for the ones caught up in whats "canon". This topic is not only about future trunks, but about your ideas "if you have them" about how would start a new series as I stated creating this thread. I just see future trunks timeline as a opening :). There are some plots that people would to see as movies. This all about dbz

Then title the topic possible new DBz series Idea not Trunks's Battle of timelines.That'll get people confused. Okay in the series why are the Z fighters fighting the main bad guy. Cause they will destroy EARTH. THey went to Namek FOR EARTH. Seriously the Timeline Dragonballs will create plot holes. Just because you like a character doesn't mean he needs a series. Trunks's story is DONE. The ending of his story proves that.
