Future Trunks and the Buu problem.
Future Trunks and the Buu problem.
Before anyone brings it up I know that there was a game that was about this idea but I'm talking about what would have actually have happened for real in that timeline.
Clearly if Babidi had shown up on Earth it wasn't the same year he did in the main timeline. However for simplicity's sake and saying he eventually did show up on Earth then what would have happened in that timeline?
Would they have even have been able to gather enough energy to revive Buu in the first place? Trunks never went back in time to warn Goku and co about Buu afterall. Do you think he was killed by Dabura and then Babidi went around causing havoc with him or do you think that Trunks got strong enough to kill Dabura and then Babidi wrapping up the problem?
Or maybe something else entirely. I'd say he was probably killed (along with Supreme Kai) surely he would have warned them even if he had solved the problem in his timeline.

Re: Future Trunks and the Buu problem.
Well, Daizenshu #7 (and maybe the Chozenshu #4?) mention that Trunks never had to deal with Buu because he wasn't revived, due to a lack anyone on Earth with enough energy to release him.
You also have DBO, if you want to include that, having Trunks from "not long after the Cell Games" being reprimanded by the Kaiojikan for breaking the rules of the universe to time travel. He's then immediately drafted as a member of the Time Patrol to make up for his "crimes" and address a much bigger threat: Miira and the Time Breakers.
If you want to ignore the Daizenshu statement though, just like anyone else officially involved with the franchise could if they really wanted a Buu Arc Trunks story, then there isn't just one set of events that would have "really happened". There could be a countless number of well written scenarios that are possible.

Re: Future Trunks and the Buu problem.
Where was that said? I looked through the Kanzentai archives which have Daizenshuu 7, and nothing you said was mentioned. Maybe it's only in Chozenshu 4?TheDevilsCorpse wrote:Well, Daizenshu #7 (and maybe the Chozenshu #4?) mention that Trunks never had to deal with Buu because he wasn't revived, due to a lack anyone on Earth with enough energy to release him.

The Daizenshu #7's timeline section. I don't know if it is repeated in the Chozenshu anywhere since they don't use the same timeline though...

I think due to no one on Earth being strong enough, there wasn't enough Energy to revive Boo, But who knows if Bulma made a spaceship for Trunks to go to New Namek or whatever to get the dragonballs and revive Piccolo/Kami.
Re: Future Trunks and the Buu problem.
Even without a Buu around Babidi and Dabura would have still showed up and that would be a problem in itself. Surely they wouldn't just pack up and leave.
Re: Future Trunks and the Buu problem.
When I was still in high school I heard someone say that the only way Babidi even found Earth was because of Gohan-His SSJ2 energy left a signature that reverberated through the universe. Trunks never achieved that strength, So in the Mirai Timeline Babidi would never find Earth and Buu.
Of course it's an unfounded rumor of some kid, but whatever.

Surprised. That's a pretty good fan theory.

Re: Future Trunks and the Buu problem.
I've always thought one way to handle it was this: the androids, while destroying large swaths of cities and land, destroyed Buu's egg without knowing, so Babidi either never came or arrived on Earth, never found the egg and left. By then, the Earth would be pretty wrecked by the androids so I don't know if Babidi and/or Dabura would have a reason to stay on Earth or try to take control.

Re: Future Trunks and the Buu problem.
By the time Gohan tried to destroy the egg, Buu had enough power to hatch, right? If Buu's egg has been on Earth for a long time and Babidi only arrives to retrieve him when the Buu Saga happens (when Trunks is 8 years old), the androids had about 8 years to have accidentally destroyed the egg. Assuming it was much weaker because it hadn't absorbed any energy, I don't see how it would be impossible for the egg to be destroyed.

Re: Future Trunks and the Buu problem.
Another factor, Kaioshin also said that Buu's Egg/Cocoon/Thing was hidden somewhere where man could not reach. What exactly that means though? I have no idea.

Re: Future Trunks and the Buu problem.
I doubt the Androids could destroy the egg. Or, rather, they could, but Boo would just hatch without his full power. Such a Boo would be as weak as you want him to be.

I assumed it was deep underground, as Babidi had his spaceship underground.TheDevilsCorpse wrote:Another factor, Kaioshin also said that Buu's Egg/Cocoon/Thing was hidden somewhere where man could not reach. What exactly that means though? I have no idea.

Re: Future Trunks and the Buu problem.
With no one around Earth, they could have just went to a new Planet to bring back Buu. If Buu ever hatch in Trunks timeline then maybe Beerus took care of him.Bullza wrote:Even without a Buu around Babidi and Dabura would have still showed up and that would be a problem in itself.
