With that, he tossed a Capsule Corp Capsule onto the open ground, and the Time-Space Shuttle appeared once more.
Under everyone's gaze, Trunks climbed into the Time-Space Shuttle. His back looked a little thin, his figure forlorn.
Bulma felt a sting in her nose. Was this child going to have to endure those tragedies all over again?
Just then!

Hovering overhead, Gran swept his gaze over those below. Just as he had guessed, the Trunks from the original story
