Trunks's Timeline Characters
TBD
Dragon Ball Manga Characters
The following characters appear in Trunks's Timeline in Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball manga series. These appearances are generally in either Dragon Ball Chapter 419, 420, or the extra chapter.
| Trunks
The son of Bulma and Vegeta, Trunks grew up in a world where Son Goku died of a heart virus in Age 766. With Son Goku dead, the Artificial Humans that emerged the following year were able to defeat nearly all of the world's fighters and begin a reign of destruction that would last more than a decade. Trunks trained with Son Gohan, eventually becoming a Super Saiyan[note 1] After Son Gohan's death, Trunks fails to defeat the Artificial Humans on his own and returns to the past to warn Goku and the others, as well as learn from them. Trunks eventually returned from the past to defeat the Artificial Humans and return peace to the world, for a time.[1][2] |
| Son Gohan
After the death of his father and their friends, Gohan was the last surviving warrior to face the Artificial Humans. After the death of Piccolo and Kururin, Son Gohan discovered the rage required to become a Super Saiyan.[3] Fighting a decade-long losing battle against the Artificial Humans, Gohan eventually began to train Trunks. While protecting his protégée, the Artificial Humans severed his arm, an injury that he was unable to heal without sensu. The Artificial Humans finally defeat Son Gohan in Age 780.[4] |
| Bulma
Bulma survived the initial attacks by the Artificial Humans to raise her son. Remembering that Son Goku always managed to save the day, Bulma spent years developing the plan, and then creating the fuel for, a time machine.[5] |
| Artificial Human No. 17
An Artificial Human created by Doctor Gero, No. 17 rebelled and killed his creator[6] before starting a 16-year reign of terror with his sister.[7] No. 17 is directly responsible for Yamcha's death, while he collaborated with his sister on Kuririn and Son Gohan.[8] No. 17 was eventually defeated by Trunks.[9] |
| Artificial Human No. 18
An Artificial Human created by Doctor Gero, No. 18 rebelled and killed her creator[10] before starting a 16-year reign of terror with her brother.[11] No. 18 is directly responsible for Piccolo's and Tenshinhan's deaths, while she collaborated with her brother on Kuririn and Son Gohan.[12] No. 18 was eventually defeated by Trunks.[13] |
| Cell
Another Artificial Human created by Doctor Gero, based on the genetic material of Son Goku, Freeza, Piccolo, and Vegeta. This Cell emerged into a world where Artificial Humans No. 17 and 18 were already defeated. He attempted to kill Trunks to take his time machine (as Cell's Timeline Cell did), but Trunks was prepared and killed him while he was still in his Imperfect Form.[14] |
Notes
- ↑ In the manga, Trunks becomes a Super Saiyan prior to the death of Son Gohan. In the anime, Son Gohan's death gives him the rage needed to unlock that power.
