			==Continuity==

			As a product written by animation staff, ''The Lonely Future Warrior!! Trunks'' naturally follows the continuity and overall series of events from the television series and specifically the [[Dragon Ball Z TV Special 2\|Trunks television special]], which itself first aired about a month ('''24 February 1993''') following this release ('''12 January 1993'''). Most notably, [[Trunks]] first transforms into a [[Super Saiyan]] following the death of [[Son Gohan]], events altered from the "[[Dragon Ball Extra Chapter\|Trunks the Story –A Lone Warrior–]]" bonus chapter of [[Akira Toriyama]]'s original ''Dragon Ball'' manga, originally published a few months prior ('''11 August 1992''') in the 1992 #36/37 double-issue of ''[[Weekly Shōnen Jump]]''.

Three products under the "Original Illustrated Story" (オリジナルイラストストーリー ''Originaru Irasuto Sutōrī'') line were written and illustrated by various members of the anime production staff and printed in miscellaneous publications during the time of ''Dragon Ball'''s original manga serialization and television series production.

The first, ''[[In the Name of Demon King Piccolo]]'', was written by [[Takao Koyama]] with illustrations by [[Minoru Maeda]] in 1989. The short, six-page story was published in a special "mook" (combination magazine/book) for the ''Dragon Ball'' series that covered various aspects of the franchise. It focused on the second Piccolo, beginning with his birth and covering events up through the arrival of the Saiyans.

The second, ''[[High Pride!! Saiya Prince Vegeta]]'', was produced by the same team of Koyama and Maeda in 1991, and published in the second of the special "mook" releases for the franchise. It focused on Vegeta, beginning with his childhood back on his Saiyan home world and covering events up through the battle on Planet Namek.

The third, ''The Lonely Future Warrior! Trunks'', was produced by a slightly new team in 1993, with the story written by [[Aya Matsui]] and illustrations again by Maeda. As opposed to the first two original illustrated stories which focused both on illustrations and text, the third is primarily text with the occasional picture; in this regard, it is somewhat like a "light novel" (only much shorter). Also unlike the previous two stories, the Trunks chapter was published as a bonus inclusion in the [[Anime Comic]] adaptation of [[Dragon_Ball_Z_TV_Special_1|the first ''Dragon Ball Z'' television special]].
