How old is dbz trunks

Android 18, Android 16 and Krillin all panic, and Cell flies toward them. Trunks says he will not let him reach his perfect form, then transforms into the Super Saiyan Second Grade form like Vegeta and follows Cell.

Vegeta thinks it is lucky the androids were here, and then tells Trunks he will not let him interfere. Trunks almost reaches Cell, but Vegeta kicks Trunks away into a nearby mountain. Trunks gets up from the rubble and tells his father that he is making a mistake and they can not let Cell reach his perfect form because he might surpass them. Vegeta asks Trunks if he wants to see how strong Cell will get, and he says not at all and he doesn't want another hellish future.

Trunks says even if he has to defeat his father, he will stop Cell from reaching his perfect form. Vegeta doubts Trunks can bring himself to attack his own father and says that he is bluffing.

With everyone distracted, Cell opens his tail up and absorbs Android 18, finally transforming into his perfect form. Vegeta watches Cell's transformation in anticipation, while the other three look on in fear and consternation. Trunks, angry at his father, decides to beat down Cell while he still has a chance and charges at Cell. However, Cell creates an Energy Field around himself, which prevents his transformation from being interrupted. Suddenly, Cell's barrier flashes blindingly bright and explodes.

Smoke flies around the cringing fighters and Cell emerges from the dust in his new form. Krillin glares at Cell and calls him a monster for absorbing Android In his rage, and ignoring Trunks' warning, Krillin attacks Cell, who isn't harmed in the slightest. Cell punches the air a few times to test his strength, and with a smile, he turns around effortlessly kicks Krillin in the face, sending him flying and nearly killing him.

Trunks immediately rushes to save his comrade's life with a Senzu Bean. After eating the Senzu Bean, Krillin warns Trunks that Vegeta stands no chance against Cell, and that he will easily be killed.

Trunks questions how he knows this, and Krillin explains that while he may not be nearly as strong as a Saiyan, he can sense exactly how strong someone is, and states Cell's kick was nothing more than a light tap. Krillin also exclaims that Cell is hiding much of his power, and he will not need to use it all in his fight. As Trunks looks in concern, Krillin also states that he knows Trunks is hiding massive power himself, perhaps by breaking a barrier of Super Saiyan that Vegeta could not reach.

Trunks explains that while both he and Vegeta surpassed the regular Super Saiyan form in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, he went a step further which Vegeta did not notice. Trunks also states he could never tell his father of this, as the information would shatter his pride, knowing he has been surpassed once again. Trunks then gets angry and knows Vegeta should have finished off Cell when he had the chance.

After watching Cell effortlessly dominate Vegeta, Krillin tells Trunks to help his father with his latent power, otherwise he will be killed, but Trunks states Vegeta would rather be brutally broken and killed than be saved in battle. Reluctantly, Trunks decides to stay put until Cell knocks Vegeta unconscious. Desperate to kill Cell, Vegeta resorts to using his ultimate attack: Final Flash.

While charging it, Vegeta challenges Cell to take the attack head-on, and Cell arrogantly accepts. Trunks immediately tries to convince his father otherwise, as the super-charged blast could destroy the Earth, but Vegeta still proceeds.

Krillin, realizing the power of the blast, yells at Trunks to get back. As Vegeta fires the blast, Cell realizes at the last moment that it might be too powerful for even him to withstand before taking the full brunt of the attack. At the last second, Vegeta weakened his attack to avoid destroying the Earth, much to Krillin and Trunks' relief. Cell managed to survive the blast, however, it vaporized everything to the right side above his torso.

Though Vegeta believes himself to be victorious, Cell proves otherwise; his cells from Frieza allow him to survive and function with virtually any wound and those of Piccolo allow him to regenerate from the damage instantly. After regrowing his arm, Cell prepares to end his battle with Vegeta.

In desperation, Vegeta fires a barrage of Ki Blasts, but Cell unflinchingly walks through them and sends Vegeta flying with a punch. Vegeta struggles to his feet, only for Cell to kick him into the air, then follow up with an elbow smash to his back, driving him into the ground and knocking him unconscious.

As Cell prepares to kill Vegeta, Krillin yells at Trunks that now's the time to step in. Trunks begins powering up, transforming into his Super Saiyan Third Grade form, which distracts Cell's attention from finishing off Vegeta. Both Cell and Krillin are amazed at how powerful Trunks has become now.

Krillin asks Trunks why doesn't he keep the bean for himself and Trunks boldly states that he won't need them. Trunks then descends to face Cell, who's impressed by how much power he had buried in him. What you androids did to my world was all too real. And I promise that will not be repeated here! Trunks' Power Unleashed! Trunks is the second Saiyan to take on Perfect Cell with the intention of destroying him. At first, Cell has the advantage and sends Trunks flying.

Suddenly, Trunks looks at Krillin and points towards Vegeta, revealing that he's stalling to lure Cell away from his father. Cell continues the attack on Trunks, but Krillin takes advantage of the opportunity to grab Vegeta and fly him to safety. With Vegeta out of harm's way, Cell asks Trunks if he can now fight freely.

Trunks is surprised that Cell knew about his plan and just let Vegeta go. Cell states that he is now more interested in Trunks' power and desires a true challenge. Trunks powers up again, ready to fight seriously. Cell is certainly impressed by Trunks' magnificent power, even greater than his own, but assures him that he will not win the battle.

Trunks calls Cell's statement a bluff and charges. Although his power was enough to deal significant damage to Perfect Cell, Trunks simply kept increasing his power, unaware that his speed was greatly decreasing and his energy consumption greatly augmented to a point where sustaining the state would prove to be a problem. His body became too bulky and slow from the large quantity of muscle, and this gave Cell the upper hand, despite not even having powered up and slightly below Trunks in brute strength In the anime, the fight between Future Trunks and Cell is expanded on greatly.

A key difference is that in the manga, Future Trunks with his Super Saiyan Third Grade form never once hit Cell whereas in the anime, he hits him many times before slowing down.

Unaware of his form's weakness, Trunks is baffled, wondering why he can't hit Cell despite all his power. Cell taunts him for relying only on brute force, then transforms into a bulky Powerhouse form of his own the result of Cell taking on the Super Saiyan Third Grade form as well to mockingly demonstrate that anyone can take on such a form and explains that without speed, the transformation is useless.

Trunks realizes Vegeta had obtained the Super Saiyan Third Grade form, though discovered its weakness and that Cell's right. Distraught Trunks reverts to his base form and tells Cell to kill him, since he has no chance now and has lost the will to fight.

However, Cell is impressed that Vegeta and Trunks had improved so significantly in a short amount of time, and asks how it was possible. Naturally, Trunks refuses to answer Cell's question to prevent him from discovering the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

Realizing he won't answer that particular question, Cell instead asks Trunks that if he had more time, could he get even stronger. Trunks replies that he won't know until he tries. Cell then asks what Goku is doing, and Trunks answers that he's training to defeat him and by tomorrow, Goku will be the one to finally kill the Bio-Android. Cell is pleased by this answer, and proposes to hold a martial arts tournament in ten days.

He challenges Trunks to gather his allies and get stronger so they can compete against him in one-on-one fights. Cell says that once he has decided the location for the tournament, he will broadcast it on television and turns to leave before mockingly telling Trunks to bring plenty of Senzu Beans.

Trunks is confused, wondering what Cell's goal is now. Cell states that it was to kill Goku, but now he wants to test the limits of his perfect form and simply enjoy himself, mostly by causing utter terror for people of Earth.

After Trunks expresses horror at this, Cell comments on that's the look he wants. He then flies away just as Krillin and Vegeta arrive. Trunks tells Krillin and Vegeta about Cell's plan, which annoys Vegeta, thinking Cell is toying with them.

Trunks says that after Goku and Gohan leave the Hyperbolic Time Chamber he will go back in and train. Stubborn and arrogant as ever, Vegeta says he won't need Trunks or Goku and after he goes back in the Time Chamber, he will defeat Perfect Cell on his own. At that moment, the damaged Android 16 arrives, wanting to compete in the tournament as well, but first asks to be taken to Capsule Corporation so he can get repaired.

Trunks adamantly refuses to help or trust 16 because he is an android who wanted kill Goku and he doesn't want to endanger his mother's life, but Krillin agrees to take the android, knowing they'll need all the help they can get against Cell, and that these androids aren't as bad as the ones from Trunks' future. The next day, Trunks and his family keep a close eye on the TV, looking out for Cell's announcement.

Suddenly, Cell interrupts a live broadcast and proceeds to tell the world about the upcoming Cell Games tournament, and challenges all the greatest fighters in the world to compete against him in one-on-one fights.

Vegeta announces that he's going to train in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber again and Trunks decides to go with him. However, Bulma wants to give Trunks a haircut first, so his long hair doesn't get in his eyes, much to Vegeta's irritation.

Trunks asks Mr. Popo how much time they have left, who replies that only three hours remain. Vegeta, however, is anxious and ready to go back in the chamber, but Piccolo tells him that he should rest because its his turn next. Vegeta believes that only a Saiyan has any hope of killing Cell, buts relent and says that he will spend the remaining 8 days in the chamber. Piccolo and Mr. Popo warn him that a person can only use the chamber for two days or two years at a time; if anybody attempts to stay longer, they will not be able to exit, leaving them trapped in nothingness and not allowing anyone else to use the door.

Vegeta is disappointed, but Trunks optimistically says that at least they will have plenty of time to train. Suddenly, everyone senses Goku and Gohan's energy, which means that they finished their training early. With their Battle Armor all tattered and damaged, Goku and Gohan emerge out as Super Saiyans , to everyone's surprise.

Trunks tells them everything that happened while they were training, from Cell's completion to the announcement of the Cell Games. Instead of being worried, Goku is excited that he can compete in another tournament and asks Mr. Popo to bring him his Turtle School uniform. Trunks offers to give Goku new armor, but he declines, stating that he wants to fights as an Earthling. Gohan asks Piccolo to give him clothes like the one he wears, so the Namekian uses his Magic Materialization to give the boy Demon Clothes.

Vegeta asks Goku whether he can beat Cell or not, but Goku says that he won't know until he sees the Bio-Android's perfect form. When he returns, Trunks asks Goku if he can beat Cell. Goku admits that he wouldn't stand a chance. Piccolo implores him and Gohan to use the Hyperbolic Time Chamber again, but Goku says that he and Gohan will train in the outside world, to Piccolo's surprise. The two then depart the Lookout. Afterwards, Trunks is lectured on how Goku and Gohan mastered Super Saiyan to decrease strain of transforming, as Trunks is amazed that he didn't think to master it.

The next day, Vegeta anxiously and impatiently awaits for Piccolo to finish up his training inside of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. When he finally does, Trunks recognizes how significantly Piccolo's strength has increased, yet, Vegeta mocks the Namekian for even entering the chamber in the first place saying that he has stayed the same.

While Dende talks to Gohan and Krillin, Trunks asks Goku that if he is so calm now, its because he has found Cell's weakness. However, Goku doesn't think Cell has a weakness, much to Trunks' confusion. Also, Goku tells Gohan to stay with Dende, and that he doesn't have to train anymore until the Cell Games. Gohan is surprised, but Goku reassures him before teleporting away.

Trunks asks Gohan what Goku is planning, and why he's so confident knowing that Cell is stronger than him. Gohan doesn't know what's going on either. Krillin thinks Goku has a plan, but Piccolo suggests he's already accepted defeat. After ten days, the day of the Cell Games finally arrived. All seven warriors arrive at the Cell Games arena, and are joined by the already present Vegeta and Android Goku volunteers to go first, much to Trunks' confusion, but Krillin suggests they let the clueless, arrogant Mr.

Satan go first, not caring if he gets killed and there's no point in explaining the superhuman abilities most Earthlings don't know about. Before he faces Cell, Mr. Satan does a stunt where he stacks fifteen roof tiles and chops through fourteen of them with his bare hand, which leaves Trunks and the others confused. When Mr. Satan finally attacks Cell, he is easily, and unsurprisingly, sent flying into a nearby mountain, but miraculously survives.

With Mr. Satan having been quickly knocked out of the ring, Goku steps into the Cell Games Arena to face Cell, as the rest of the Dragon Team watch anxiously from the sidelines.

Cell says that he had hoped to save the best for last, but there is nothing he can do. The two assume their fighting poses, and Trunks thinks that they will all finally see why Goku has been so calm in the days before the tournament. Goku and Cell partake in an intense bout that leaves both combatants exhausted in the process. Cell tells Goku that his strength is decreasing, and says he can have a Senzu Bean if he wants, that way, they can continue their great fight. Trunks yells at Krillin to do like he says and give Goku a Senzu Bean, and if they all attack Cell together, then he will definitely win.

Vegeta yells at Trunks to shut up, saying he has no Saiyan pride as Goku neither asked for help nor does he want it. Vegeta believes that Goku would rather die than win like that, and right now, he isn't even fighting for the Earth's sake. Trunks says that Goku won't last much longer and Vegeta agrees that he will probably be killed by Cell. Trunks asks what are they supposed to do, be quiet and watch.

Vegeta says all they can do now is hope Goku has a secret plan, like Trunks suggested. However, Goku admits that Cell still has strength to spare and he cannot defeat him, so in a surprising turn of events, Goku says that he gives up, which leaves everyone shocked, including Cell and calls forth his son Gohan to take over.

In an attempt to bring out Gohan's true power, Trunks is forced to contend with Cell's offspring along with the other heroes, slowly and gradually losing the fight.

Meanwhile, Android 16 encourages Gohan to set his rage free and to not hold back in order to protect the wild animals and the forests he loved. Cell, however, finally has enough, and smashes Android 16's head, killing him off for good. Witnessing the peaceful android's death finally pushes Gohan over the edge and his hidden power erupts, transforming him into a Super Saiyan 2 , shocking everyone present. First, Gohan takes back the stolen bag of Senzu Beans from Cell and then effortlessly defeats the Cell Juniors with simple, yet powerful blows.

Afterwards, Gohan gives an awestruck Trunks the bag of Senzu Beans to treat to the fallen Z Fighters and heal their wounds while he faces Cell. After giving Krillin a Senzu Bean, Trunks says that they need to get farther away from the battle.

Despite his best efforts, Cell is no match for Gohan's new power, and ultimately, the boy forces him to regurgitate Android Weakened and desperate, Cell pumps himself up like a balloon to self destruct, threatening to take the Earth along with him in a final attempt to kill Gohan. Goku sacrifices himself by teleporting both himself and Cell to King Kai's Planet where he promptly explodes.

However, Cell survives and upon his reappearance, Cell impales Future Trunks through the chest with a Full Power Death Beam , mortally wounding him while the Funimation dub states that this was intentional, the original version implies that he was just firing randomly, as evidenced by the line "Who was it that I hit?

As Cell boasts that he is better than ever, Vegeta is still stunned by Future Trunks' injuries. While Gohan prepares to fight Cell again, Trunks uses up the last of his life energy to vomit up blood. Yamcha and Tien Shinhan rush over to aid him, only to realize he had died that moment. This act causes a drastic change in Vegeta, who becomes enraged that someone who cared about him has been killed and reveals his affection for his son.

Vegeta then gives everything he can give to try and take down Super Perfect Cell although he fails and is overwhelmed by Cell's power, who takes all his attacks without a scratch and severely cripples him with a halfhearted blow, preparing to kill him like he did Trunks only to have Gohan shield him, but at the cost of the use of his left arm.

Future Trunks flashing a sign of respect to his father Vegeta, before going back to the future. After Cell's defeat, the deceased Future Trunks is taken to The Lookout where he is revived by Shenron , along with everyone else killed by Cell. However, Goku isn't resurrected, because he had already been brought back to life by the Dragon Balls before. Goku, speaking through King Kai, tells them that the world will be better off if he remains in the afterlife, because his presence seems to attract bad guys.

He leaves the protection of the Earth to the much stronger Gohan, and says a final goodbye to everyone. For their second wish, Krillin asks Shenron to turn Androids 17 and 18 into humans. Shenron denies the wish, saying it is beyond his power. Krillin then wishes for the bombs in the Androids to be removed. Shenron grants the wish and disappears. Trunks asks why Krillin would wish for that, and Krillin answers that he felt bad for them, having to go through life with a bomb in their bodies.

Tien decides to leave, since Chiaotzu is likely worried about him. He tells the others they may never meet again, and wishes Trunks luck against the androids in the future before leaving. The rest of the group go their separate ways as well, with Trunks declaring that he plans to return to the future tomorrow.

As they fly to Capsule Corporation, Yamcha mentions how Vegeta reacted to his death, which makes Trunks become shockingly proud of his father. After the celebrations for Cell's long-waited defeat, Trunks give Bulma the Time Machine which Cell use to came to that era [17] and Vegeta acknowledges Trunks while he says his goodbyes.

What about the others? The ones that you two killed? The Spirit of Goku is Forever! After saying his goodbyes, Trunks returns to his own time to exact revenge on the androids for murdering the Z Fighters. After reuniting with his mother, Bulma, Trunks hears a news update on the location of the androids and he quickly powers up into his Super Saiyan form, now greatly augmented by his two years of training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

At Parsley City , the Androids are about to kill another innocent man in the manga he is killed before Trunks' arrival by being shot in the face by 17 , when suddenly Trunks hurtles a very accurate energy attack which narrowly misses The cocky androids foolishly underestimate Trunks and try to rush him.

Trunks easily dodges their attacks and punishes them duly, obliterating 18 in a point-blank energy blast. The completely unscathed Trunks returns home since everything now seems at peace with the Earth, except he knows one thing remains: Cell who is likely around in his world.

Three years pass before the determined Bio-Android roams around in his Imperfect form, looking for the now nonexistent androids and comes across Trunks and Bulma saying their goodbyes near the time machine.

Trunks is age 23 at the time. As Trunks is about to leave for the past one final time to inform them of his success, he senses Cell and sends his mother away. He turns towards Cell and begins to taunt him with his knowledge from the alternate past. He informs him that he has killed the androids from the current time. The cocky Cell approaches the half-Saiyan under the false impression that Trunks is still at the level of power when he initially went back in time and warned Goku, even weaker than the future Androids who are in turn inferior to Cell's strength by a long shot.

However, Trunks reveals he destroyed the androids while Cell was angry, he realized that he could use the time machine to go back and absorb them but Trunks attacks him. The fight begins and Cell is clearly outclassed as Trunks hurls him outside of the city with a simple energy wave in his base state. Once outside West City , Trunks then transforms into a Super Saiyan and then proceeds to clobber Cell with great ease. When declaring that Cell must die, Cell gets enraged and launches his tail at Trunks.

Trunks takes action by grabbing Cell's tail and swinging him around in a circle, building up momentum, and then hurling him high into the air.

Cell realizes that he has no hope against the new powers of Trunks, and prepares a Kamehameha large enough to destroy the planet, knowing all too well that he could survive in space. Cell begins the attack but is interrupted when Trunks powers up and unleashes a massive destructive wave of energy which incinerates Cell completely.

With the future finally at peace, Trunks is seen looking towards the sky while thanking Goku and his friends in the past one last time. Several years later, Trunks was invited to the Sacred World of the Kai by Shin to train in preparation for Babidi 's arrival.

He successfully pulled out the Z Sword and trained with it to increase his strength. Shin and Kibito were both impressed that he was able to master the Z Sword and so Shin decided to finalize his training by testing its sharpness by cutting a block of Katchin , the hardest metal in the universe.

Before Shin could throw the block to Trunks, Kibito sensed Babidi's movements and so they then went to Earth and Trunks requested for his clothes to return to normal. After they reach Earth they managed to take out Pui Pui and Yakon. As he was fighting him, Dabura spits on the Z Sword, and as it was being turned into stone, Shin demanded Trunks to release the sword.

As Trunks released the sword, it was completely turned to stone and broke when it fell to the ground, where Dabura burned it with his fire breath. Afterwards, Dabura delivered a strike to Trunks but Trunks held his blade until he was pushed back. Shin stated that he miscalculated Babidi having the ability to have Dabura as his servant and declared that he will prevent Majin Buu's revival as he charged at Babidi.

However, Shin was attacked by Dabura and seeing this, Kibito attempted to assist Shin but Dabura blasted him. Shin was being tortured by Babidi and seeing this, Trunks out of anger transformed into Super Saiyan 2 and fiercely attacked Dabura.

While Dabura was defending Babidi, Trunks delivered a powerful kick to Dabura and the impact managed to kill Babidi. Dabura was about to use his spear and throw it at Trunks, but Shin paralyzed Dabura and Trunks was able to kill him with a Burning Attack. Shin was glad that the world was at peace, then he perished.

In the anime, Future Trunks had become much stronger and was able to take on Dabura thanks to instructions he received from Shin. Main article: Golden Frieza Saga In the anime, while not seen in the present timeline Future Trunks appeared in a flashback killing Frieza when Shenron mention Frieza's death to Sorbet.

He would later be mentioned by Bulma as one of the two Saiyans that defeated Frieza. Later when Gotenks showed up and attacked Tagoma and defused.

When Frieza first looked at Trunks it reminded him of Future Trunks. Main article: "Future" Trunks Saga. Several years after killing Future Dabura and Future Babidi, and nine years after the fall of the Future Cell, Now Age an enigmatic man named Black goes berserk and causes humanity to be on the brink of extinction.

Trunks attempts to stop Black, but fails. Bulma suggests that they should receive help from Goku and Vegeta in the past. Six months later, Bulma gathers enough fuel for a one-way trip to the past for the Time Machine , when all of a sudden, Black gets in their way. Future Trunks shields his mother when Black destroys the lab. Future Trunks is shocked to see that Black has Future Bulma. Future Bulma then tells him to go on without her, and that getting back to the past is the highest priority.

Black then fires another ki blast, destroying the lab and Future Bulma, much to his horror. He then shakes it off and runs to find Future Mai, knowing that getting back to the past is their highest priority. Trunks goes to search for Mai , and he is concerned at first when he knocks at her door and gets no answer, yet is relieved when he sees her.

Mai asks where Bulma is, then is saddened when she realizes her death by the hands of Black, with Trunks crying over his loss. Trunks reignites the hope of going back to the past as he shows Mai the energy that Bulma sacrificed her life to get, further stating they can go back to the past. Trunks and Mai are seen in the room. Mai asks him if he wants to rest, yet he declines. Mai offers him a can of meat yet declines, as they saw a kitten walk by and they feed him.

Trunks then offers half of the can of meat to Mai. Though reluctant, Mai eats up her fill. After she finishes eating, Trunks tells her that they only have enough energy to make a one way trip.

They then prepare to leave to Capsule Corporation, and they both see the kitten leave, and that puts a smile on their face, and they run to Capsule Corporation.

However, as they approached the building, Black suddenly descends into the scene. He tells Mai to go ahead of him, giving her the energy and drawing his sword as he rushes in to engage Black. In a short skirmish, Trunks was outstripped by Black's unknown powers, and Mai rushed to his head. She volunteered herself as the decoy, telling him he was the one who needed to survive, and winded up critically injured by Black.

Holding her unconscious body, Trunks was furious as Black descended and told him the day for him to die has arrived. Clutching Mai's hand, Trunks started to think quick. However, infuriated by Black's goading of Mai's presumed death, he rushed Black head-on, and the two engaged in a fierce battle. Pushed to the edge, he uses his sword to stop a ki blast from Black, and blinds him with a Masenko. Trunks managed to flee to his time machine, and escaped from the future just in time, narrowly avoiding Black's Kamehameha.

Future Trunks manages to escape from Black and get the time machine 16 years into the past traveling from Age to Age , where his time machine is found by a woman and he is located unconscious inside by his present counterpart. He is then rushed onto a gurney, where Trunks gets to see him, and is shocked by Future Trunks' arrival. He is then with Bulma , Vegeta , Goku , and Trunks, where they see him in his current state, much to their corresponding concern.

Trunks eventually wakes up. Future Trunks suddenly rushes out of his bed and attempts to attack Goku in anger, much to Goku's confusion.

However, Goku halts Future Trunks' attack by grabbing his arm before the attack could land. Future Trunks is snapped out of his trance and learns that Goku was revived long after he returned to future. Future Trunks then meets his Present counterpart who is surprised to meet him before he goes to retrieve his sword, catching sight of present-day Mai in the process.

Bulma later explains the Time Machine to everyone as Future Trunks tells his counterpart they really first met when the latter was a baby. Future Trunks then meets Beerus and Whis learning they come from the world of the gods and that time travel is forbidden enough to permit death as Bulma argues with them. Knowing his mother's attitude means trouble, Trunks begs Whis who he mistakes as the God until the latter points out Beerus with Trunks learning he is the God of Destruction.

Trunks begs Beerus for forgiveness and he lets it slide after Bulma gives him delicious food. Future Trunks is later asked why he time travelled as he talks about a new enemy, when asked if it was Majin Buu , he tells them he prevented the villain's hatching.

He soon explains the reason why he attacked Goku as the enemy he is facing looks exactly like him and explains what happened to the Future because of him even revealing that Future Bulma was killed by the man they have named Goku Black.

Goku, curious to how strong Future Trunks is, asks to have a sparring match with him. Future Trunks accepts and powers up to Super Saiyan 2. Bulma, fearing for the city, erects a barrier around them so they can fight in peace. Fully powered up, Future Trunks, as a Super Saiyan 2 attacks with his sword. The force from the blow shatters the barrier but Goku as a Super Saiyan 3 caught the blade without much effort then proceeded to overpower the young Saiyan.

Goku helps Future Trunks to his feet and tells him that he is impressed with his power and is amazed that he was able to get so far on his own. Future Trunks is then greeted by Krillin and Piccolo , who ask if something happened in the future.

In the anime only, a sudden thunderstorm appears, and Black appears through a portal, which shocks Future Trunks. He had a date the next day but Goku forced him to enter the World Tournament. Vegeta then also forces Trunks to take part in it. Even though, Goten was younger than Trunks, coming into this world on August 26, Age He reached 2cms more than him- to a total of 5'7 or cm.

Although Trunks can wear shoes with high soles and cover the difference. At the beginning of Dragon Ball Super, Gohan has retired from fighting and become a scholar married to Videl. His retribution came in the Tournament of Power but he was still a long way from what he was in Dragon Ball Z.

He was born on May 18, Age , making him exactly 27 years old. He was not exceptionally short or tall, just average at 5'9 or cm. In Dragon Ball , Yamcha was an important personality. At the time, Goku was just a child and not so strong. So Yamcha was able to give him a hard time. But once Goku crossed the barrier of Super Saiyan, Yamcha had no way of catching up to him.

He was born in the same year as Bulma on March 23, Age being 51 years old. The one true love and wife of Goku, Chi-Chi has been living a happy life with her husband. He may not be present for her all the time, but he still cares for her and goes back to her when he's not saving the Earth. Her height was the same at 5'4 or cm. Half of the Dragon Ball cast is aliens, same is the case with Piccolo.

He was a bitter enemy of Goku but later reformed and became his lifelong ally. He may look like a mature person but he's quite young, considering his birthday- May 9, Age , being 31 years old in DBZ. His height as an adult was 7'5 or cm, which is a lot more than the average.

He's Gohan's teacher but he's only two years older than him, they should be buddies instead. Now the whole info about Goku's actual birthday is contradicting, as Toriyama forgot to clarify that important aspect of the Earth's savior. His birthday in the manga is April 16, Age but in the anime, he was born a year later at age We do get the kids and their fusion Gotenks in action, but nothing about their physique implies their ageing.

This is also the same time where the events of The History of Trunks take place. Trunks in the Moro arc still seems like a child. Whereas the same aged future trunks had an early teenager look to him. This takes place in Age , where Goten is 17 while Trunks is This event gave us new designs for the duo which seemed more suited to their age. It seems that present Goten and Trunks have taken inspiration from Ash Ketchum and maintained their same physique. Nonetheless, there are a few things that could explain why Toei Animation and Shueisha have chosen to keep them as children.

Dragon Ball Super is more corporate-driven than Dragon Ball Z , so every decision that the company makes is from a business standpoint. The manga brand largely pertains to young teenage boys. As a result of this, a young male protagonist is usually part of the ensemble cast. This can be seen in the Dragon Ball franchise itself.
