Tragically, Gohan is later murdered by Androids 17 and 18, which however sparks Trunks' first transformation into a Super Saiyan. Gohan begins training Trunks and he struggles to obtain the Super Saiyan transformation because he does not have the motivation yet. Trunks asks Gohan train him so he can save whatever life is left on the Earth. Trunks is seen as a 14 year old boy being taught by a 23 year old Future Gohan. Thirteen years have passed since the deaths of Goku and the other Z Fighters. All the Z Fighters, including Future Trunks's father, Future Vegeta, fought the Red Ribbon Androids but were all killed, leaving Trunks alone with his mother, Future Bulma. Six months after Future Goku's death, two androids appeared and started causing chaos to the Earth. Main article: Future TrunksThe events of Dragon Ball Z: The History of Trunks tell the origins of Future Trunks' story. But after the Cell Games Saga, his parents' relationship improved and likely married, and they began raising Trunks together as a family.ĭuring Trunks' childhood, he and Vegeta developed a normal father-son relationship and Trunks idolized his father, who was strict when it came to his training but was fair to him and did spend time with him. The circumstances in the Androids Saga and Cell Games Sagastrongly imply that Trunks' conception was the result of a brief affair between his parents, as Future Trunks told Goku that Vegeta and Bulma's attraction towards each other was based on passion and loneliness. In his infancy, he was well-loved and doted on by his mother, but it appeared as if his father had little to no parental emotions towards the boy, such as Vegeta admitting to never hugging his son until he was eight years old during the Majin Buu Saga and telling him how proud he is to be Trunks' father.
Trunks as a babyAdded by BeadtmdcTrunks was born in Age 766 to Vegeta and Bulma, thus making him a Saiyan and Human hybrid.
Because of his maternal side of the family being scientists, he also possesses a significantly huge amount of knowledge about biological and scientific-related knowledge from a young age, as demonstrated in the movie Dragon Ball Z: Bio-Broly, when he correctly identifies what the Culture Tank equipment is used for at age eight, as well as correctly defining two-thirds of what biotechnology is (the only thing he was not able to answer is what genetic-engineering is). He does not act like this however during his battle with Goten, because Goten is his best friend or it could be because it is a battle he could possibly lose. During and in between his battles at the World Martial Arts Tournament, he acts just like his father does, calm when he fights and insults his opponents. In his later years, Trunks adopts a personality similar to his future counterpart's. Trunks tends to usually take control over the younger Goten, stating to him numerous times how he is both older and stronger (during childhood). He is shown to be loving towards his parents and grandparents, and will not think twice about defending his family. Later on, Trunks does gain more respect for Goku after seeing Goku's Super Saiyan 3 power in action when holding off Majin Buu. This is shown when he disrespects Goku when they first meet, and for a long time after, as Trunks believes he is not as strong as his father, and nowhere near as reliable. He refuses to respect someone he does not like, another trait he shares with his father. Trunks has a combination of both of his parents' personalities: cocky and proud like his father, and spoiled and selfish like his mother. Present Trunks as a child during the Majin Buu arc is shown to be quite cocky and stingy, as well as mischievous, most likely due to the fact that this Trunks grew up with his father Vegeta and enjoyed the luxuries of peace, while Future Trunks grew up without Future Vegeta and in an apocalyptic world, causing him to be much more serious and cautious. Present Trunks wears a dark green gi, an orange belt, orange wristbands, and the same golden boots that Future Trunks wears. He has his father's eye shape, facial features and tanned skin, and his hair turns blond and eyes turn (pupil-less) green when he becomes a Super Saiyan. Trunks has his grandfather's lavender hair color, and his mother's blue eyes. 3.3.3 Super 17, The Ultimate AndroidEdit.3.3.1 Quest for the Black Star Dragon BallsEdit.
