THE SERIES

Trunks


If there is ever Saiyan who has captured the attention and imagination of Dragon Ball Z fans of the female gender from almost all walks of life, that person would be Trunks. Mirai Trunks to be exact. Nani? This purple-haired, sword-carrying and soft-spoken son of Vegeta and Bulma has a dark and interesting past. Born in the timeline where all the Z warriors had died,he was trained by Gohan in a world scarred by the numerous attacks of Androids #17 and #18. His ultimate goal was to defeat these monsters to restore peace in his world. This was the reason why he trained very hard so that he may become powerful enough to defeat the Androids. He went back in time through Bulma's time machine to save Son Gokou from his heart ailment and end this threat for good.

Mirai Trunks is a fascinating character. He was initially silent man when he arrives in the Z timeline just before the death of Gokou. He then meets his father Vegeta, who at first refused to recognize him as his son (perhaps because Trunks had Bulma's hair and bore little resemblance to him). As events went to unfold, leading to the appearance of the monster Cell, he became much more powerful and an integral part of the Z team. Generally, he is a handsome, brooding, and really nice type of guy.

The "other" Trunks is the son of Vegeta and Bulma who grows up in a timeline where all the warriors are alive, Cell and the Androids having been defeated. He is Gokou's second son Goten's best friend. He still is purple-haired, but somewhat different from his brooding Mirai version, having a more outgoing personality (since he is being raised with Vegeta around). He later fuses with Goten to form Gotenks in the Majin Buu saga.
