What if Mirai Trunks had stayed in the regular timeline?

Thanos6 · Post by **Thanos6** » Wed Sep 20, 2006 2:18 pm

Pick your own reason. His time machine breaks and Bulma can't invent a new one. His own version of Bulma dies. His version of Bulma tells him "you've done your share for this God-forsaken world, now go back to that happy one and have your well-earned happy ending."

Whatever the reason, let's say that after defeating the androids and Cell in his timeline, Mirai comes back and stays at Capsule Corp.

How would Vegeta change with two sons, especially after his emotional berserk attack on Cell?

How would (normal) Trunks be with a "big brother" of his own, and how would it affect his friendship with Goten?

Would Gohan grow up any different?

What kind of difference would he make in the Buu saga?

10 years later, would he be like Gohan, married and settled down, or would he pick a different path? (Would his protective urges, God forbid, drive him to become the "Great Saiyaprince?")

Thought, please...

I say mix in a little Movie 8, and a little Movie 13. Rest of the series as usual - 'cause the fans wouldn't let Goku not win.

He'd've been a big friggin' help with Buu, that much is for sure.

When Vegeta blew himself up, and Gohan was thought dead, if Trunks was around, Goku might've opted to teach him the Fusion Dance rather than Goten and Chibi Trunks. What would we have gotten, then... Gokunks? Trunku?

Either way, living with a younger version of himself might've been disturbing, not to mention weird. Perhaps he might've dyed his hair or done something to change his appearance in order to distinguish himself as Chibi Trunks grew up.

Hmm...

Hmm...

Vegeta I can't see acting much different. The only reason he was as warm as he was (at all really) was because of Mirai trunks coming in the first place.

How would (normal) Trunks be with a "big brother" of his own, and how would it affect his friendship with Goten?

This would be the most outstanding difference. I think Chibi-Trunks would be more extreme (either calmer like Mirai Trunks or roudier because of "comptetition") and the relationship with Goten would probably have a much bigger impact. I could see Mirai Trunks being very protective of Goten.

Would Gohan grow up any different?

Maybe. He ended up being just as goofy as Goku is so I don't see Trunks doing much more for him. I doubt they would have seen each other much anyway.

What kind of difference would he make in the Buu saga?

Hard to say, for me at least. I think he and Gohan may have ended up fusing. Trunks may have played a role with the Majin Vegeta deal to?

10 years later, would he be like Gohan, married and settled down, or would he pick a different path? (Would his protective urges, God forbid, drive him to become the "Great Saiyaprince?")

I think Trunks was to damaged to ever have a stable sexual relationship with anyone (not purely sexual, but think he would be a bit controling) I could see him working with Bulma or even training with Vegeta.

What would really be interesting is what would happen to Chibi-Trunks once he grew. If Mirai did one thing would Chibi do the other?

Future trunks would probably die from the happiness, future trunks is better off in his future timeline.

It's too disturbing actually, having two Trunks's...but the two are so different in personalities it's almost like being two different people.

In my fangirl-y mind Mirai Trunks ends up in Orange Star High School and becomes the school heartthrob! XD

Bulma and Vegeta will never tell Chibi Trunks that Mirai Trunks is his older, alternate version. Chibi Trunks will be rowdier because of the rivalry for their (aloof) father's attention, but he'll also have a secret rivalry with Goten when it comes to who has the better "big brother."

Fight-wise, desirecampbell said it all. But he forgot Movie 9...

Well... if Trunks had stayed, then his world would basically be defenceles. Which is about the opposite of what Trunks would want.

If he did, he probably wouldn't have a huge friendship with Goten. I think he would have stayed close to Gohan, because of the impact Gohan had in Trunks's timeline. If you think about it, it would sort of be like having the old Gohan back but without the violence, fear, and constant training.

If Future Trunks stayed in this timezone..
*typical tv flashback/look into the future sequence*

...

I think he would surpass Gohan in the Buu saga at the very least. He would probably wouldn't be as concerned with Majin Buu as he was with the Red Ribbon because that was his only real opposition( I have no clue what his 'beef' was with Freeza but whatever). For the chibi Trunks, he would probably treat him like he did Taipion: a big brother. It would lead to a lot of confusion on everyones part trying to refer to one of the Trunks'.

Another cool possibility would be a fusion attempt between the Future Trunks like him with Goku, Vegeta, or even Gohan..!

We would have My Two Trunks's, Reboot style.

I think if he stayed on he could've made a huge impact in the Buu saga if had stayed on, I liked the idea of him fusing with Gohan, Trunkan or Gohanks? LOL, the last one sounded like a english dish or something.

But yeah, I think he also could change Chibi Trunks' personality a bit, hopefully it could even change the course of GT, with Chibi Trunks as a warrior or something, you can always dream.

I like the whole theory of Trunks fusing with Goku.....I mean Trunks is pretty smart, he could catch on quick & kick Buu's butt. But in the end I'm sure things would wind up with Goku killing Buu with the Spirit Bomb.

As for training or not.....he's spent 2 decades of his life in hell & training, I doubt he stop. He's probably ascend to SSJ2 & kick Dabura's butt while Goku & Vegeta are fighting.

WORD.

I agree totally.

I can imagine what Trunks reaction to the Majin Vegeta thing would be like. Trunks and Vegeta might have a ruckus with each other like they did in the Cell saga when Vegeta was allowing Cell to achieve his perfect form.

Oh, plus there is the whole fact that when kicking Cell's butt in the future, he's wearing Saiyan Armor....perhaps for training purposes? I doubt he'd dress for the ocasion since he knew he would win without geting a scratch on him. Plus Toriyama sort of foreshadows that Future Trunks is a true fighter, remember at the end "But peace would reign, as long as Trunks was there to defend it"....or something like that.

I shall spin a yarn about what may have happened in the Buu Saga is Future Trunks hung around. Early on, he'd have learned Fusion, and united with Gohan to take on Super Buu, along with Gotenks. I guess Trunks and Gohan could be called...uh...Truhan. Truhan and Gotenks kick major ass, but are unable to finish Buu off. Eventually, time runs out, the fusion seperates, and Buu manages to absorb both Goten and Gohan. both Trunkses put up a valiant fight, but are unable to do any damage, and are quickly killed. Super Buu+(non-mystic)Gohan then goes on to finish his rampage of the planet.

Meanwhile, in the afterlife, Trunks and Trunks train with Supreme Kai, Goku, and the Z Sword, eventually breaking it. The Supreme Kai gives them the Potara earings, and Trunks and Trunks fuse into...well...Trunks I guess. Combined Trunks is given Elder Kai's life, and returns to earth to fight Buu. Buu is utterly annihilated, but nothing they do will finish him off. Eventually, Trunks gets absorbed as well, and Super Buu Plus Trunks is the most bad ass of all time. Vegita comes back to Earth from the dead to fight him, but is completely useless. Kibitoshin teleports to earth to save him from erasure, bringing him to the Planet of the Kais.

Buu, however, follows. Goku and Vegita use the potaras to fuse into Vegito, and instead of dominating like they did in the real timeline, he is only barely able to keep up. Eventually, Buu tries to absorb Vegito, and from there, everything kinda happens like in the real timeline. Only Trunks stays Potared, so we don't have 2 running around looking identacle in GT.

Alternatively, in GT, they could do the Fusion Dance instead. That would be cool as well.

No. Vegetto was so far beyond Super Buu, no amount of absorpion would help him.
