It was revealed in the anime that the half-Saiyan hailed from a time where the Z-Warriors had all been killed; a future in which Goku died of a heart virus, and most of the main characters were killed by the evil creations of classic Dragon Ball villain Doctor Gero, Android 17, and Android Once Trunks succeeded in helping them, he went back to the future, which had become an alternate timeline.
Future Trunks never returned in Dragon Ball Z , but the events of Dragon Ball Super revisited the character and revealed what happened to him through flashbacks. Few characters have as memorable an introduction in Dragon Ball as Future Trunks. His mother, Bulma, dedicates most of her life to the science of time travel, placing their sole hope in the idea that going back in time and having Trunks meet Goku will course correct all that has gone wrong.
Trunks travels through time for a good cause, but it all comes catching up to him in modern Dragon Ball. The first time Trunks travels back in time is at the very start of the Cell arc.
His mysterious confrontation with Frieza immediately brings up questions— most notably how he can turn into a Super Saiyan. In Dragon Ball Super , Trunks and Vegeta combined a Galick Gun and a Super Galick Gun, to create a father-son attack that was both awesome and was powerful enough to push back a literal god's attack.
When Akira Toriyama was writing Dragon Ball Z , he had a ton of different influences, two of which stand out immediately. Aspects like Goku being a Saiyan and one of the last of his kind drew inspiration from American comics like Superman.
The Android saga, on the other hand, drew heavy inspiration from the first Terminator film. Toriyama took elements of the film's story and characters when creating Future Trunks, his backstory, and the Android saga as a whole. Some might call it a ripoff; we call it an awesome tribute. Trunks takes after his father quite a bit, with everything from his stubbornness to that infamous scowl, there's no doubting that Trunks is Vegeta's son.
In fact, their similarities go beyond biology and personalities, as they both lost their lives in almost the exact same way, wearing almost the exact same clothing and with the exact same expression. Back in the Frieza Saga, Vegeta was destroyed by a beam fired by Frieza.
The beam struck Vegeta straight through the chest, piercing his armor and firing out of his back. Then, in the Cell saga, Trunks was also struck by a similar beam, but this time it was a supercharged version of the attack fired by Cell, the blast also puncturing a hole straight through him. In Future Trunks' timeline, he and Gohan were the only Saiyans left on Earth, and after his mentor's passing, the Saiyan race was dwindled down to just Trunks.
Even if Vegeta's brother Tarble is canon, he knows nothing of the Saiyans on Earth and vice versa. Trunks believes that he is the last being in the universe with Saiyan blood.
Because of this, Trunks has a great fear of perishing at the hands of the androids. It's not like he wouldn't have feared losing his life at their hands anyway, but the fact that he is the last Saiyan weighs heavy on his shoulders. If Future Trunks is gone, then so is the Saiyan race; an even greater motivation for the character to change the past and save the future. As we mentioned in the intro of this list, Future Trunks is easily one of the most beloved characters of the franchise.
Many cite the time-traveling half-Saiyan as their favorite character, as do some of the people who actually worked on the English version of the series. The composer of Funimation's American soundtrack of the series, Bruce Faulconer, stated the Future Trunks was his favorite character, showing that the character was so cool, even the crew saw it. Even more surprising is that Chris Sabat, Voice of Vegeta, Piccolo and Yamcha, also stated Future Trunks as his favorite character, stating his cool origin and awesome fights as the main reasons why.
The reason this is so surprising is that Sabat voices a character that everyone loves, yet Vegeta isn't his favorite character. Last but not least, we have the fact that Future Trunks achieved a new form that we had never seen before. Think "Back to the Future". Three Being Parallel Universes. IE, If I were to go back in time, it would create a fork in the space time continuum. The time line that I came from would still exist, but a parallel time line would be created, where my actions would completely effect what happen there, but not in my original time line.
This is what happens in the Trunks Arc. This is what Toriyama chose. Another thing about the Trunks arc that will blow your mind is that Trunks actually forks the time line multiple times by his actions.
Trunks forks the time line once by his original return, creating two simultaneous time lines. Then when he returns the second time this creates yet another time line. So at this point we have three time lines running at the same time. The original where Trunks came from. One where Trunks returned and told Goku about the Androids, and then returned again later to help with the fight.
One where he did not return a second time to help. Alright confused yet? Cause here comes more. In the time line where he did not return, Trunks somehow became powerful enough to defeat the androids himself, and then when going to return to tell Goku about his victory, is Killed by Cell, who then goes back in time, forking the time line yet again.
Which creates: 4. A time line where Trunks told Goku about the Androids, but did not return a second time, somehow killed the androids, but is killed by Cell who returned in his place.
A time line where Trunks saves Goku, returns a second time, the androids are defeated, Trunks returns to his time line, kills the androids in his time, but is killed by Cell, who then travels back. This is the main time line of the story, the one we see. That means that there are at least 6 simultaneous time lines.
