Background / History

Trunks is the son of Vegeta and Bulma. From age six, he trained under Gohan for three years, learning basic ki blasts, flight, and simple combat techniques. Gohan, who had only one arm, often taught by having Trunks observe his battles and practice independently. Gohan was killed by Androids 17 and 18 one month before Trunks entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber with Chen Mo. 25 26

Before meeting Chen Mo, Trunks fought Android 18 alone and was severely injured. She broke his sword with a kick and left him unable to walk or fly without reopening his abdominal wound. Chen Mo healed him with a Senzu Bean, then proposed that they train together in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. 25

Inside the chamber, Trunks and Chen Mo trained for a full year while only one day passed outside. They sparred for sixteen hours daily, becoming partners as Trunks refined his Super Saiyan ki control and Chen Mo developed his combat fundamentals. 27

Afterward, Trunks returned to the Seventh District Concentration Camp and reunited with Bulma. He later accompanied Chen Mo and Android 18 on the mission to New Planet Namek, despite Android 18 having killed Gohan and other defenders of Earth. 27 30

Appearance

Trunks has short purple hair and blue eyes resembling Bulma's. When Chen Mo first finds him, he is bloodied, heavily bandaged, and missing the sword from his empty sheath. 25

• After a year in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, his Saiyan growth and training make him appear like a seventeen- or eighteen-year-old teenager. 27
• His shoulders broaden, his facial features sharpen, and his purple hair grows long enough to fall over his forehead. 27
• His normally restrained expression carries the weight of extensive loss and combat experience. 27
• As a Super Saiyan, his hair turns gold and he manifests a golden ki aura. 30 60

Personality

Trunks is vigilant and guarded around unfamiliar people, initially treating Chen Mo as a potential threat even while badly wounded. Learning that Master Roshi still lives lessens—but does not erase—his suspicion. 25

The deaths of Gohan and the other Z Fighters leave him deeply hostile toward Android 18. Nevertheless, he demonstrates restraint when Chen Mo negotiates a temporary alliance with her, suppressing his Super Saiyan transformation rather than endangering Bulma and the concentration camp. 30

He is practical about his own limits. Trunks openly admits that ordinary training cannot substantially raise a Saiyan's power without extreme stimulation or near-death experiences, while focusing instead on improving his transformation's efficiency. 27

Abilities & Skills

Super Saiyan Transformation

Trunks can transform into a Super Saiyan, multiplying his base power by fifty. His initial form was powerful but emotionally unstable; prolonged training with Chen Mo greatly improved its duration and ki efficiency. 26 27 60

• Initially reached approximately 150,000,000 battle power for only 30 seconds to one minute. 26
• Later maintained the transformation for more than six hours. 27
• Reduced transformed-state ki waste to under 10%. 27
• Reached 200,000,000 battle power after his base power increased to 4,000,000. 60
• Absolute Darkness can severely hinder him by denying vision and ki detection while favoring the dark-adapted Shigula. 62

Ki Control and Flight

Trunks can fly, sense ki, suppress his own energy, and transform at will. 25 30 45 60

• Recognized traces of Chen Mo's King Kai Fist aura from a distance. 25
• Detected Android 16's stable energy signature upon returning to Earth. 45
• Suppressed his ki to approximately 5,000 while infiltrating a Frieza Force supply ship. 60
• Can rapidly transform in response to danger, including when confronting Shigula. 60

Combat Training

Trunks received foundational instruction from Gohan, then developed his fighting ability through prolonged sparring with Chen Mo. 26 27

• Taught Chen Mo principles of controlling the Super Saiyan state. 26
• Sparred with Chen Mo daily in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, helping him develop reactions and defensive skill. 27
• Can fight far stronger opponents directly; he kicked Shigula away with a single strike after transforming. 60
• Uses a longsword in battle, though Android 18 previously destroyed his original sword. 25 59

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Sword / longsword — His original sword was broken in half by Android 18; he later carries another longsword. 25 59
• Communicator — Used to contact Bulma upon returning from the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. 27
• Frieza Force battle suit — Worn temporarily while infiltrating a supply ship near New Planet Namek. 60

Relationships

• Bulma — His mother. Trunks returns to the Seventh District Concentration Camp to reunite with her after his year of training; she is visibly concerned by his physical growth and hardship. 27 47
• Vegeta — His father. Vegeta was already dead by the time of Trunks's introduction. 16 25
• Gohan — His teacher and protector. Gohan trained Trunks for three years before being killed by Androids 17 and 18. 26 28
• Chen Mo — Ally, rescuer, and Hyperbolic Time Chamber training partner. Their year of shared sparring turns them from strangers into partners. 25 27
• Android 18 — Enemy responsible for Gohan's death and Trunks's earlier injuries. Trunks restrains his anger during the temporary Dragon Ball mission, but remains wary of her. 25 30 31
• Grand Elder Moori — Trunks is assigned to guard Moori and the final Dragon Ball against Shigula's forces. 35 39
• Master Roshi — A respected elder whose survival surprises Trunks; Trunks later observes Roshi's transformation into Earth's Guardian. 25 46 47
