"Hope Again!! Trunks Wakes Up in the Present" is the forty-eighth episode of the Japanese animated television series Dragon Ball Super. The episode first aired in Japan on Fuji TV on 19 June 2016. It was written by Atsuhiro Tomioka and directed by Ryōta Nakamura.

Synopsis

Summary

With Trunks still bent over the dead Mai, Goku Black asks him if he is done saying goodbye, and assures him that it will be his turn to die next. Trunks thinks to himself that since Black has left the Capsule Corporation building intact, he presumably knows nothing of the time machine. He just has to get to it and start it up! Black promises Trunks that he and Mai will soon be reunited. Enraged, Trunks becomes a Super Saiyan and battles Black, but is quickly beaten. However, by throwing his sword like a boomerang, and with a timely Masenkō, he manages to create a large explosion and escape in the confusion. Black manages to locate Trunks inside the time machine (which he mistakes for an airplane), but fortunately he is too late: Trunks travels off into the past, leaving Black baffled at how the Saiyan could completely vanish like that.

In the present, kid Trunks is attending school with Pilaf, Shuu, and Mai. The teacher calls on him to solve a complex math problem, but it is beyond him. Pilaf however quickly steps in to give an incredibly convoluted explanation of the solution, which the teacher describes as being like something an old man would give. Lunch time rolls around, and Trunks has invited the Pilaf Gang over to his place since they did not seem to have anywhere else to go. Mai is particularly grateful, and even holds Trunks by the hand, scandalizing Pilaf and Shuu.

At Capsule Corporation, Trunks and co. are shocked to see the time machine suddenly materialize outside. Pilaf thinks it might be aliens, and Mai says they should go get Vegeta, but Trunks is confident that he can handle any aliens. However, his teacher points out that the vessel is clearly marked "Capsule Corporation". In that case, Trunks thinks they should go get his mother, so Pilaf sends Shuu after her.

Bulma arrives, and when she sees the words "Hope!!" written on the vessel's side, she asks Trunks if there is a blue-haired young man inside. Trunks confirms that there is, so Bulma goes off to call Vegeta. Pilaf and co. speculate that this man might be Bulma's illegitimate child. After all, he looks just like Trunks! Kid Trunks finds this idea disturbing. Inside Capsule Corporation, Bulma locates a small communicator which she uses to call Whis.

Over on Beerus's planet, everyone has just finished eating a load of instant ramen. When Whis gets Bulma's call, he assumes she is calling to give them more food and politely declines, but Bulma insists it is more important than that. She is happy to learn that Goku is there with Vegeta, and shows them Future Trunks, who is still lying unconscious. When Bulma explains to Goku and Vegeta that Trunks has come back in such bad shape, Pilaf and co. are shocked to hear that (kid) Trunks's "brother" has the same name as him. This whole affair smells of a scandal!

Learning that Bulma does not have any senzu handy, Goku says he will teleport over to Karin Tower and pick some up. However, it is too far for him to sense Karin's ki, so he will have to return to Earth first. They have kid Trunks power up as much as he can so that Goku can sense him all the way from Beerus's planet. Meanwhile, Beerus and Whis decide that this affair sounds interesting, so they decide to come to Earth too. Arriving back on Earth, Goku quickly teleports off again to get some senzu, leaving Vegeta to wonder why Future Trunks has returned. In the future, Black is still puzzling over how Trunks's ki has completely vanished. Regardless, he vows to track Trunks down no matter what.

At Karin Tower, Karin and Yajirobe are enjoying a game of limbo. Goku teleports in, and Karin lets him help himself to all the senzu. With that, Goku returns to Capsule Corporation. Everyone is curious why Future Trunks is so injured. When they give him a senzu, he wakes up... and sees Goku's face. This triggers a flood of memories about Black, and Trunks suddenly attacks Goku in an unthinking range. Goku and the others do not know what to think!
