Trunks’ best transformation scenes in Dragon Ball

Key takeaways

• Kid Trunks surprises Vegeta by becoming Super Saiyan at age 8, closing the power gap between him and Goten.

• Future Trunks absorbs a spirit bomb, gains a blue aura, and defeats Fused Zamasu in Dragon Ball Super.

If fans saw Goku’s son grow into a strong Sayian, it’s only fair that Vegeta’s son Trunks gets attention as well. Born in the Android saga, he did not have time to become a man, not even until the end of Dragon Ball Super. Then, in a stroke of mastery, Akira Toriyama brought in an adult Trunks from the future, fusing time travel with the concept of multiple timelines, while introducing fans to Future Trunks, who quickly became one of the fan favorites after he did brief work with Mecha-Frieza.

This list includes transformations of Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Super and ignores any transformations in non-canonical programs like Dragon Ball Heroes or any of the dragon ball Video games.

Being the son of a Saiyan is no easy task, and this applies doubly if the father in question is none other than the Prince of the Saiyans, Vegeta. In the Majin Buu arc, while training with Vegeta in 150x Earth Gravity, Kid Trunks goes Super Saiyan for the first time. Not only does he surprise Vegeta by achieving this transformation at the young age of eight, but he also manages to punch him.

The spectacle of this transformation comes mostly from Vegeta’s surprised expressions, but many fans think that Kid Trunks didn’t deserve this transformation, and the creators only added this to cover the huge power gaps between Trunks, Goten, and their parents, so that they could be more. relevant to the story.

Future Trunks returned to the series in Dragon Ball Superwith a much darker and more somber backstory than in Dragon Ball Z. Trunks brings Goku and Vegeta back to his future to ask them for help in fighting Zamasu and Goku Black, but when even Vegito’s Super Saiyan Blue form couldn’t take down the Fused Zamasu, Trunks had to intervene.

In a moment of anger and determination, Trunks was able to create a Spirit Bomb, collecting energy from everyone on the planet, including the downed Goku and Vegeta. But instead of throwing it towards Fused Zamasu, he absorbed it. This resulted in him gaining a blue aura and his sword becoming larger and glowing blue. With this, he was able to cut Fused Zamasu in two.

Future Trunks ascended as a Super Saiyan

• First appearance episode.: 162

With Perfect Cell threatening the very existence of planet Earth and even the universe, the Saiyans took turns training in the hyperbolic time chamber, where one year equals one day on the outside world. While Goku and Gohan attempted to master the base Super Saiyan form, Vegeta and Trunks attempted to increase their power beyond it, achieving the Ascended Super Saiyan form.

The form gave Trunks a lot more power and he had cool looking muscles. But in a real fight, it wasn’t very useful. The extra volume slowed him down and also depleted his stamina, making him tire more quickly.

Future Trunks Super Saiyan Rage

A touch of Super Saiyan blue

• First appearance episode.: 61

Gohan isn’t the only half-Saiyan who has untapped potential. Being the son of the Prince of all Sayians and an elite warrior has advantages that allow him to harness the power of the Gods and achieve a form that is a mix of standard Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan Blue.

With golden hair and a blue aura, Trunks was able to increase his power level to match that of SSJGSS Goku and Vegeta and take on Goku Black Super Saiyan Rose. Being one of the coolest moments of the entire Goku Black arc in Dragon Ball SuperIt’s a testament to what Saiyans can achieve when pushed to their limits.

Future Trunks Super Saiyan

The most emotional transformation

• lively: Dragon Ball Z: Trunks’ Story (special television episode)

Arguably the best transformation scene for Trunks was when Gohan died. In Future Trunks’ timeline, all the Z fighters are dead and only Gohan and Trunks remain. Gohan had grown up and trained Trunks himself, but lost one of his arms while fighting the androids.

When the androids start wreaking havoc on the cities, Gohan goes to stop them. When Trunks tries to follow him, he puts him down, worrying for his safety. When Trunks comes to, Gohan, the only other Saiyan left in his timeline, has been killed by the androids. The anger and sadness Trunks felt upon seeing his mentor dead on the ground finally pushed him to become a Super Saiyan.
