Biographies-Trunks

Trunks was the lone survivor of the entire Saiya-jin race during his timeline. After the twin androids killed all the remaining Z Warriors, Trunks was left to fight them on his own.

While Trunks was still young, he had his master and best friend Gohan train him. Gohan taught him to fight, but his main goal was turning him Super Saiya-jin. Although Trunks got quite close quite a few times during training, he never could reach the Super Saiya-jin state. One day, as Trunks and Gohan are sitting on a rock, the Androids attack a nearby town. Trunks asked Gohan if he could go help him fight, but Gohan knocked him out and flew off to fight the Androids alone.

When Trunks woke up, he flew off in search of Gohan. Flying through the ruins of the attacked city, Trunks eventually finds Gohan's dead body and realizes that the Androids killed his best friend. Through a surge of extreme rage and emotion, Trunks finally reaches the legendary Super Saiya-jin state.

Three years later, Trunks is a teenager and apparently has been training. While helping his mom carry in the groceries, he hears a news report of the Androids. He decides that it's time he finished them off for good, so he flew off to fight them. Once he finds the Androids, he appears to get the upper-hand at first, but he soon finds out that his stamina could not compete with the Androids and they leave him after severely beating him up, thinking he's dead.

Waking up in the hospital, Trunks decided that the only way he could defeat the Androids was to go back in time using his mother's Time Machine to get advice from Goku. After he becomes well, he blasts off in the Time Machine to visit the Legendary Goku.

After Goku defeated Furiza on Planet Namek, Furiza's father finds him and with the help of his top scientists, rebuilds his torn apart son. They quickly plot a course to Earth to finish off Goku and the rest of the Z warriors. Upon arrival, the first warrior they meet up with is a mysterious youth that claims he's going to defeat Furiza for good. Furiza shrugs off this mysterious character and tells his henchmen to take care of him. The first one shoots some ki blasts that are easily deflected by the Youth. In a few flashes of his sword, the Mysterious character makes short work of Furiza's goons. Furiza watches on.

The Youth claims again that it's Furiza's turn to die, and Furiza only laughs. Then he claims that he's going to show Furiza and his Father what a real Super Saiya-jin is. To Furiza's horror, the youth transforms into the legendary form. Furiza wastes no time and fires a ki blast at the Warrior which is easily blocked. The Youth tells Furiza that he has 2 more chances, then it's 3 strikes you're out. Furiza gives it all he's got, all of which the Warrior easily blocks and deflects. To Furiza's surprise, the Warrior appears behind him with his sword drawn, chopping Furiza to pieces. He then makes quick work of Furiza's father.

Trunks calls to the other Z warriors who had been watching on in amazement, and tells them that he is waiting for Goku and they all fly off to the spot where the stranger claims Goku will return. They wait for 2 hours and Goku finally arrives, crashing down in a space pod. When Goku comes out, he asks who defeated Furiza and the Z warriors introduce him to the Mystery character. Goku claims that he's never met him, and the Youth asks Goku to talk to him in private. They fly to a different part of the desert, and the Warrior asks Goku to go Super Saiya-jin. After Goku does so, the Youth also goes Super Saiya-jin. After a quick test, the Youth introduces himself as Trunks, the warrior from the future. Trunks tells Goku of the evil androids and gives Goku the antidote to the disease he'll get. After some quick goodbye's, Trunks flies off in his time capsule.

Three years later, when Trunks returns, the Androids had already started their assault on a small island. Trunks thinks that they had beaten Goku but he picks up some ki and flies off hoping that it's the battle still going on. When he arrives to the location, he finds the head of Android 19 that Vegeta had defeated, and he becomes worried because the Androids now are different than the one's in his timeline. He flies off to find the current battle. When he arrives, he accidently causes a distraction and allows Android 20 to use an explosion to escape. Bulma and chibi Trunks were in danger, and Trunks saved them instead of Vegeta.

Trunks notes that his father didn't even try to save his son or Bulma. Instead, Vegeta flies off to search for Dr. Gero (Android 20) and Trunks decides to follow him. They search for a while with the help of the other Z warriors, and Kuririn finally spots the entrance to Dr. Gero's Lab. They all stand and watch as Dr. Gero releases 2 new Androids, Androids 17 and 18. Trunks recognises these as the ones in his timeline, and blasts inside the lab to try to destroy them, but to no avail. Vegeta starts to battle #18 and Trunks and the other Warriors stand back and watch. Once Vegeta starts getting hurt, Trunks jumps in and is easily batted away. After the battle is over, Kuririn revives them all with Senzu beans.

Later, when flying in a capsule plane, Bulma faxes over a picture of what appears to be Trunks' Time Machine. Disturbed by this, Trunks and Gohan fly off to search for it.

When they arrive and find the Time Machine, Trunks realizes that it is his, but he still has the one he used in a capsule. This puzzles them greatly, until Gohan finds an egg in the time machine. Close by, they find the shell of a monster that had evidently outgrown his skin. They leave and fly back to Kame House.

After Goku wakes up from his illness, he tells everyone about the Room of Spirit and Time. Vegeta and Trunks are the first to use the room, and they train for 1 whole year in the room, but only 1 day passes on earth. When they emmerge, they both announce that they have surpassed Super Saiya-jin. They fly off to fight Cell. Trunks watches as Vegeta fights and appears to defeat Cell. But because of Vegeta's stupid mistake, Cell absorbs #18 and becomes perfect. Vegeta is soon beaten to unconsciousness and Trunks decides to step in.

He tells Cell that he is stronger than his father was, and proceeds to transform to a form even higher than Vegeta had. Cell notes that Trunks is more powerful than he is, and they commence to fighting. Trunks soon realizes that even though he is more powerful than Cell, he is slower and cannot defeat him so he gives up. Cell was about to kill Trunks, but then asks him if he allowed them more time, could they get stronger. Trunks answers yes, so Cell let's him go. Trunks and Vegeta re-enter the time chamber after Goku and Gohan are finished with it.

Trunks watches during the cell games, but never fights cell again. When cell releases his Cell Jr.s, Trunks fights one and holds his own against it. After Gohan defeats cell and Goku transports himself and Cell to King Kaio's planet where cell blows up, when cell returns Trunks is killed. After the whole battle, Trunks is revived by the Dragonball's and goes back to his timeline the next day.

Arriving back at his timeline, Trunks first defeats and kills the two evil twin androids. He remembers that he still has to defeat Cell, so he trains for 3 years until Cell finally arrives. Trunks uses his ki to throw Cell up in the air and they fly to a different location to fight. Cell is amazed at how powerful Trunks is, and Trunks easily defeates and kills Cell. He then lives happily ever after.

Chibi Trunks was born right before Android's 19 and 20 first attacked. He grows up in a different world than Mirai Trunks so his attitude is slightly different. He has more of his father's personality. He trained with Vegeta and sparred with Goten during the seven years Goku was gone. One day, while training, Trunks turns Super Saiya-jin and Vegeta marvels at this. During the Tenkachi Budoukai, Trunks battles his way to the top of the Children's Division and faces off against Goten in the finals. They were almost equal in power but Trunks was just a little stronger and wins by turning Super Saiya-jin.

Since Trunks was around his father more, he had a sort of mischevious personality that often rubbed off on Goten. Because they both wanted to fight in the Adult division, they beat up Mighty Mask and stole his costume so noone would know it was them. They battled against #18 in the finals and once she realized who they were, she fires a blast that they both dodge in different directions, tearing up the costume and revealing them for who they were. After that, they fly off to watch the Majin Buu fight. When Trunks sees the Piccolo statue, he taps it, knocking it over and breaking it. When he sees that his dad is in danger, he flies in and kicks Majin Buu. Vegeta hugs Trunks and tells him he loves him, then knocks him and Goten out and tells Piccolo to take them away. When Trunks wakes up, he's in Kami Palace and hears that his father is dead.

Goku teaches Trunks and Goten the Fusion dance, and after he leaves, Piccol continues to train them and puts them in the Room of Spirit and Time. When Super Buu arrives, Piccolo stalls as long as he can, but eventually leads Super Buu into the Room of Spirit and Time to fight Trunks and Goten. Once fused, they become one of the most powerful beings in all DragonBall.

Quite a few years later, Trunks becomes the CEO of Capsule Corporation, but doesn't like the pressures of an office job. When Goku is turned into a child, they decide to search the galaxy for the black star Dragonball's, and Vegeta makes Trunks go.

Trunks, Goku, and Pan have many adventures together in space, and Trunks turns out to be a responsible young man in the end.

Techniques

Bukujutsu: The ability to fly with one's ki.

Burning Attack: Very flashy and sometimes powerful attack Trunks uses. There's a wierd hand motion before he fires the blast out of a cup he makes with his hands.

Fusion: This technique is used to fuse two people into a single person, and give the fused person a huge power boost. Anyone can do the Fusion, but you have the same power as whoever you fuse with, and you must learn the correct pose and form. It's easy to make a mistake and fuse into something far weaker though. The Fusion lasts for 30 minutes before the fused person becomes two again.

Kamehameha: It is a Ki blast, which to start is charged up held behind the firer in cupped hands, then brought forward to release a large blast of energy.

Masenko: This is Gohan's trademark technique. He powers up energy over his head with both of his hands, one palm behind the other, then brings his hands down in front of him to fire the blast at the opponent.

Zanzoken: The user can move so fast he leaves an after-image, while attacking from another standpoint.
