The History of Trunks

[Hideki Motosuwa.]

So, did you enjoy this movie?? Please discuss anything about this movie!

I thought that it was a good movie. I really felt bad for Trunks' world, and I was wondering, if the Androids destroyed Piccolo, does that mean that the Room of Spirit and Time(Hyperbolic Time Chamber) was destroyed too?? If not, then Trunks couldv'e trained in there to beat the Androids. And Trunks could've also traveled to New Namek and wish everyone back there, including Piccolo, inorder to bring the Earth's Dragonballs back. And, he could also wish for immortality, or more power, so he couldn't be beaten easily by the Androids(If not, then sorry).

i absolutely love that movie i was on the verge of tears

I can't remember for the life of me, but I think if Kami/Piccolo is dead, the Room of Spirit and Time cannot be opened. I would think Mr. Popo would be able to open it, but like I said, I can't remember.

Anyhow, the way it went down anyhow was that it was one major battle involving all the Z Fighters, where they were all killed from underestimating the Artificial Humans. I doubt training in the Room even occurred to them, they had no time anyhow.

Anyhow, loved the movie. I enjoyed the fight scene at the park, city and especially with Trunks vs 17/18. Aside from that, I found the training to become a Super Saiyan pretty neat as well.

One scene I always liked was how a human was crawling out of the rubble in the city after 17/18 destroyed it, and 18 points her finger over her shoulder and casually fires a finger beam at the person and wastes them.

Oh, I see. Thanks for the info. I don't mean to be cruel, but that was kind of funny, when 18 points at that guy and wastes him.:laugh:

Favorite DBZ Movie, but poor gohan! That version of trunks is clearly more badass than the whiny present one. After that movie I then watched Trunks own the andriods. THAT NIGHTMORE IS OVER CELL DIE!! Happy ending all the bad guys are dead! Too bad trunk is the only one alive, cause if Buu comes he is screwed!

[Hideki Motosuwa.]

He could always travel into the future, and drag SSJ4 Goku and Vegeta to sick 'em!! right?? :)

[sesshomaruisgod]

Yeah I didn't think of that! But then he would meet the trunks from the Gt future and then......... Head explodes :<

[DARKMizuSasuke]

Good movie, not their best though :p. I don't think Trunks would have been able to travel to Namek: does Bulma still have the coordinates for Namek and all that stuff? And even if he did get to Namek, you can't wish someone back to life if they've died of a natural cause, which means he couldn't wish Goku back anyways, and the rest would have died again. He could have wished for immortality though, but I don't think an immortal life is very pleasent.

[Migoto]

Yeah it was a good DBZ movie. The Android Saga is one of my favorites!

I have it on Video lol

[SupaWeena]

I loved his remark about ""royal treatment.... the movie gave me a whole new respect for gohan.....he was a much better gohan than in the main series...except for his hair...I love the fact that trunks looks just his dad...And they both have the inability to raise their eyebrows

[Hideki Motosuwa.]

Um, I'm guessing training in the Room of Spirit and Time(Hyperbolic Time Chamber) didn't occur to them, did it?? I mean, after Trunks trained in the room in the Cell saga, he was actually able to beat Cell form 2. But why didn't anyone in future Trunks' time train in there to get stronger inorder to beat the Artificial Humans(Androids)?? 0.0 Trunks in his time had all that time, along with Gohan, to train in the room, but didn't(maybe because Piccolo along with Kami was destroyed?? But what about Mr. Popo?? 0.0, do they need him for the room?? 0_o;). And after Trunks gives Goku the warning: "On May 12th, @ 10:00 AM on a city 9 kilos from the Metro South," or "On May 12th, @ around 9:30 AM on an island 9 miles southwest of South City," it was said they had three years to prepare for the Androids. So, in those three years, they could've used the room, and Goku, Gohan, Vegeta and Trunks could've become stronger inorder to beat the Androids. Or if Bulma knew the coordinates(not the exact coordinates) to Dr. Gero's lab, then they could go to the mountains and just blast the Androids away, before they're activated and along with Baby Cell. Or search for the lab anyways and destroy the lab before the three years are up. But Goku mentions that Dr. Gero hasn't done anything wrong(before the three years), but I say, "Who cares??!!" If Trunks is correct, then what'll happen will happen right?? 0.0 So why not just search and destroy, it's quite obvious!! But I guess that's the only thing that would make the story, so Toriyama wanted it that way, I guess. If it wasn't, then there would be no Androids saga, or it'd end pretty quickly. >.>

[Sagat]

Keep in mind they had no idea where his lab was, or even that No. 20 was in fact Dr. Gero

I bought the DVD set that contained the Trunks Special and Bardock movie. Loved it! Japanese original sound is a bit muffled but turn it up and its good to go. Excellent quality too :D

[sesshomaruisgod]

Don't try to make sense out of DBZ Miss Chii Motosuwa, theres a talking pig and a cat in the show, nothing makes f@#$ing sense!!!!!!!!

[Captain Warheart]

The History of Trunks was one of my favorite movies since he is one of my top five favorite characters. I to have wondered why Gohan and Trunks never considered the Hyper Bolic Time Chamber as a means of training to become stronger than the Androids. I think Mr. Popo is able to open the door to the room because if I rememebr correctly, he's the one who led Goten and Trunks to the room in the Majin Buu saga. It's possible that the Lookout was destroyed when Piccolo/Kami were killed. As far as going to Namek, I don't think the two remaining Z-Fighters wanted to risk having the few remaining Earthlings killed because they left the Earth.

Anyway, I liked this version of Gohan just as much as the one who becomes the Great Saiyaman. He made a great mentor for Trunks. It's just too bad he had to die in the movie. But it was a great way for Trunks to awaken his Super Saiyan abilities.

If I were to rate this movie on a scale of 10, I'd give it an 9.

[SupaWeena]

the trunks time continuity was screwd up long before any of this....Still i loved it though

Wait...what do ya mean by that?? 0.0 Anyways, yeah, loved the movie too!! xD If only Goku had lived, but I guess, even if he had lived, he would provide little resistance against the Artificial Humans(Androids). But Trunks did say that the Androids in his time weren't as strong as their present counterparts, so maybe if Goku had lived, Gohan joined in the fight as a Super Saiya-jin and Vegeta too, maybe they wouldv'e stood just a little chance perhaps?? 0_o;

[SupaWeena]

well.....he was a kid, then future trunks came....And he said it himself in the cell saga there were two different timelines floating out there....It was just a big pot of confusion for me at the start...though i hardly care still love trunks and the series

[Sagat]

Yes, the third time line where Trunks had defeated 17 and 18, but Cell snuck up and ambushed and killed him and then proceeded to take the time machine to the time line that normal DBZ takes place in.

It does make sense however, as Trunks only learns of this in the normal time line. Hence when he returns to his own, he prevents the Cell there from repeating what happened in the third.

[Wio]

What puzzled me is how when Trunks went back in time, he jumped dimensions of time. When he went back to the future, he jumped into his original dimension of time. Wouldn't it make more sense for him to be in the future of the time dimension he was already in?


What's really crazy is how in the normal time dimension, kid trunks becomes SS like nothing, trumping all the effort that the future Trunks went though in The History of Trunks.

[Oracle]

I'd say the history of trunks kind of confuses me, there's so many episodes you have to pay attention to. I can't keep in track of them all. Trunks is still awesome though.

[SupaWeena]

Yeah. The whole trnukns thing is confusing. But i guess DBZ doesn't have to make sense to amke millions.... trunks all the way through!

[Kelly-Anne]

This movie is my favorite DBZ movie, when Trunks goes SSJ after finding Gohan dead is just a special moment and it always send shivers down my back seeing the expression on his face.

[Blue Stone]

This movie was very decent in my opinion :D

[SSDynamite]

future trunks is way cooler than the present time trunks. he looks a lot more like vegeta too.

[Hideki Motosuwa.]

Yah!! :D No offense to the GT Trunks, but Future Trunks was less of a wimp xD

[-Raiken-]

Yah!! :D No offense to the GT Trunks, but Future Trunks was less of a wimp xD

lolz yea I agree, future trunks was cool and the one on dragon ball gt was much more of a wimp than the future trunks on dragon ball z.

[Hideki Motosuwa.]

lolz yea I agree, future trunks was cool and the one on dragon ball gt was much more of a wimp than the future trunks on dragon ball z.
Yeah :D Anyways, in the english version, he has two different voice actors, but the Japanese seiyuu seems to be the same.

Btw, it would suck if 17 and 18 activated 16 in future Trunks' time, then he and Gohan would've been really screwed!! :ninja: The reason for this is, that when Trunks somehow screwed up the timeline, things changed, like 16 being activated, 19 and 20 showing up, and behaviors change, which leads me to believe that maybe 16 in Trunks' time would fight Gohan and Trunks :eek:

[Mysti Queen]

I loved that movie a lot. It's one of my favorites. I think part of that is because Trunks (Mirai Trunks, to be specific) is my favorite character in the series.

I felt so bad after watching that. He suffered so much at a young age. It was a really touching movie. In fact, it made me and even bigger fan of his than I was before. Trunks is such a cool character, and in my opinion, the coolest out of everyone else. ^___^

Eh...It was decent for a DBZ special, but not exceptional. I wouldn't spend any money on it.
If the androids destroyed Piccolo (and, thus, Kami), the Room of Spirit and Time would not be destroyed, but the only people who knew about it were Kami, Mr. Popo and Goku. Since Popo seems intent on never leaving Kami's palace unattended, no one on Earth would have known about the room.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there a time limit on how long one can be dead and still be resurrected with the dragon balls? Then again, they were modified to bring back many people at once in the main timeline after Frieza caused a mess, so they could have been changed more... Either way, Goku is stuck dead, having died from a mere virus.
I've always reasoned that while you can't die if imortal, others stronger than you can still beat the heck out of you if they want, so little would be accomplished. Trunks would eventually get stronger from the beatings thanks to his Saiyan ancestry, but it would take a while and be rather boring for DBZ. There's also the possibility that Trunks could lose all his limbs (immortality can't prevent that!) by the time he was powerful enough to defeat the androids, making for an absolutely bizarre battle.
Bulma, by the way, has the coordinates for the original (now non-existent) Planet Namek thanks to the North Kai. The Namekians did not bother to tell anyone where New Namek is before leaving Earth as far as I know. Goku only managed to get there by finding their collective energies and teleporting from the North Kai's lil' planet.

As for Majin Buu (someone else mentioned it), I can think of a few reaons why Babidi won't meddle with that timeline.
Trunks is much older in the future timeline when the androids are defeated (with no mention of Buu) than in the main timeline when Buu shows up. This would show that Babidi's/Buu's arrival has not occured as early as should have happened.
I don't think it ever will.
The supreme kai expressed worries that unecessarily disturbing the shell/case that Buu was in could awaken him, but Babidi worried that the same activity would kill him.
Seeing how the androids of the future caused so much destruction, it's not unreasonable to think that they may have inadvertantly destroyed Buu while still dormant.
Another possibility is that the androids could have killed Babidi himself.
The last scenario is the simplest, though the least interesting. There are enormous differences between the future timeline and the main timeline; this could just be one of those. There may be no Buu at all in the other time. Boring, eh?
