'''Bridge Town''' is a fictional location in the world of ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' by [[Akira Toriyama]]. In the [[Dragon Ball Z TV Special 2|Trunks special]], Bridge Town is a suburb just outside south of [[West City]] and the location of [[Future Trunks|Trunks]]'s final battle against the [[Artificial Humans]] before giving up and returning to the past in the [[time machine]].

==General Overview==
Bridge Town is a suburb or satellite of [[West City]], located only 900 meters south of the city itself. The town is located on a river canyon with houses and buildings spanning several layers, as well as several bridges crossing the river at various points. It was close to where Trunks and [[Future Bulma|Bulma]] were working on the time machine. Already by [[Age 783]], the city was in ruins. When the [[Artificial Humans]] attacked, Trunks threw caution to the wind and raced to fight his nearby adversary. He barely escaped that battle with his life. Presumably, the city was demolished by the Artificial Humans after Trunks was defeated.<ref>{{Cite features|Number=ztvsptrunks}}</ref> The main timeline version of Bridge Town is never depicted; it is possible that this city exists only in Trunks's alternate future.

==Name==
Bridge Town is located on a river and may have been named for the bridges crossing that river, although a specific origin has not been provided by the authors. It does not fall in line with the name pun pattern used by other towns during the [[Cell]] arc such as [[Ginger Town]] and [[Basil Town]]. Bridge Town is not named in the [[Dragon Ball Chapter EX|corresponding manga chapter]] or in the [[Funimation]] dub of the special.

==Production==
Due to the production schedule challenges inherent in producing a weekly anime series based on a weekly comic, the writers of ''[[Dragon Ball Z]]'' interjected anime-only material both as a means of extending the runtime and to flesh out the ''Dragon Ball'' universe. The Trunks TV special was created to elaborate on Future Trunks's difficult life and to depict his struggles to become [[Super Saiyan]] and defeat the Artificial Humans. Bridge Town is the second of two named towns in the special, the other being [[Pepper Town]].

Bridge Town is based on an elaboration of a single panel in [[Dragon Ball Chapter EX|Trunks's special chapter]] in the manga. In the original, Trunks learns of an attack by the Artificial Humans 300km to the south. The location is never named or depicted, with the final panel showing Trunks rushing to face his foes, followed immediately by a panel in the hospital. This event was both strengthened and elaborated on in the TV special by moving the danger closer to home and depicting, rather than implying, Trunk's battle.
