Trunks had one of the GREATEST character debuts ever!

Trunks is the only character who can have a Bowl cut, Popped collar, belt all the way to his belly button and a tucked in shirt while STILL looking like the coolest person in the room

Trunks has stayed a favorite. Wasn't any "I'll let him power up to the fullest for a great fight." Dude broke the number one anime rule when he tried to stop Cell from transforming.

Trunks over here spreadin' generational PTSD for the whole Frieza race 😂🤣😂💀

>shows up >instantly kills the strongest enemy so far in the story >reveals that there are enemies so strong he even struggles to escape from >reveals that everyone dies and there is no do-over because the dragon balls are gone >leaves future trunks best trunks

His intro is what you’d expect from some self-insert character in a fan fiction. -has a sword -destroys the previous villain without trying -somehow has an incredibly rare ability (super saiyan) -Is secretory related to the characters people like

Trunks was always a cold character in the series. But it always baffled me seeing Kid Trunks and sayin "This what that kid turns into?"

Goku gave him that hard PTSD with those blue eyes

Bro Imagine being Vegeta, havin being a servant to Frieza’s goofy ass his entire life up to this point and being clapped by him to death only to find out some random ass kid not only killed him in minute but Frieza’s daddy too Xd

Frieza took his first ever L in his life by Goku, pulled up to his turf with his whole squad and his DAD and still got packed by a dude with a bowl cut. On top of that not a single punch was thrown by Frieza or King Cold which should show that they fr got no hands

The appearance of Trunks is my personal favorite DBZ moment. When me and my friend were kids, we were so hyped to finally see Goku as a supersaiyan, but then we see this mystery fighter who is a supersaiyan and easily beats Freezia!!! We were freaking out and had no idea who he could be and were in suspense for the next episode.

"king cold is clearly signed to Aint Shit records" caught me off guard. Lmao

From Trunks' perspective this was his only W up to this point in life and he was going to enjoy it.

Trunks, I think, was always my favorite Dragon Ball Z character. He was one of the few Saiyans with common sense, and tried his best to stop the current threat before the situation got worse. A shame that Kid Trunks is so unremarkable in comparison. Hell, you'd think Kid Trunks meeting Future Trunks in Dragon Ball Super would inspire the kid to be as cool as his adult self. I know that Trunks and Goten finally were allowed to age into actual teenagers, but I feel like it's not going to make them more "serious" in the long run.

What i like about trunks is dat he doesnt have all that "saiyan pride" so he doesnt hesitate to end the fight quickly and efficiently.

Bro came back to the future didn’t waste ANY time. No “I let you go for a better fight down the line.” No letting them power up. Fuck that. Bro came home for BLOOD.

Trunks was 100% him

1:01 Some people realize they're a side character too late and now you're gone...had me crying.

Trunks walking out that crater with the death ball like Simba walking on that cliff with the rising sun has always stuck with me, trunks really looked godly there, lots of "the dawn has finally come" vibes

when trunks went SSJ that was no longer trunks, that was himks

When Trunks first appeared I didn't even know what to say. It took everything Goku had to put Frieza down and even then he didn't die. When Trunks showed up and quickly finished off him and his father. I was left shooketh.
