We got Sword Trunks, Armor Trunks, Time Patrol Trunks (a wholly owned subsidiary of Armor Trunks), GT Trunks, Infant Trunks, Kid Trunks, too many Trunkseses to shake a stick at. And most of them can transform and or fuse too! Trunks-a-plenty!

Future Trunks is probably the only character to surrender from his own big fight, he just flat out acknowledged that he sucked and couldn't touch Cell. I guess whether that's a good or bad thing is up to the viewer

facebook jihad posted:See, this is what confuses me. People always bring up Nappa as an example of someone who can't manipulate his power level, but that is clearly not the case. He has a stated power level of 4000 but after powering up he can handle Goku when he's calm, who is double that. I guess he can't shrink his power level, but he and others can definitely increase it. Back up, maybe my memory is faulty, but as far as I can recall Nappa couldn't handle a raspberry schnapps let alone Goku. I remember Goku picking Nappa apart like he was loving nothing. The "powering up" on most guys is just an anime thing, I think. In the same way that in the anime powering up involves standing around yelling for five minutes instead of just an instant burst, you have characters "powering up" when they shouldn't be capable of it. It's same thing as how, on the wiki and in the games every ki attack a character does has a name, when in actuality, like someone else said, only the top dudes in Freeza's army have special attacks. I think it's just Vegeta, the Ginyus and Freeza himself, and even then I don't think Freeza named any of his moves. I'm not saying the anime is terrible swine for doing this poo poo or anything, it's not like they knew powering up was gonna be a limited skill. Just like how the people making the One Piece anime couldn't have known that Zoro not being able to cut steel would be a big deal before Alabasta, and just have him slicing up metal chains and poo poo in a filler episode. Saying Future Trunks sucks because he jobs out to everyone isn't really fair, since he just inherited that trait from his father, who is a rad dude. And Trunk's intro was some of the coolest poo poo in the entirety of DBZ and forever makes him an awesome badass in my eyes, at least. projecthalaxy posted:Why did they make Sword Trunks a redditor?

Best Trunks is DB Heroes Trunks because he became a competent protector of humanity and figured out how to go SSJ3 assumably on his own, he became what people aanted Gohan to become

Trunks, in his first appearance, was basically the epitome of what kids would consider cool. He was a teenager that had a sword and a leather jacket, not to mention he was a super saiyan with boundless confidence. He radiated cool. Buttlord's version is the kind of guy who thinks he's that level of cool, just because he has all the right accoutrements: the sword, the coat, even the hat. So it's lampooning the whole badass entrance of Trunks with his fancy swordplay by making him the kind of guy who would, in real life, own a sword and practice with it.

Lot of really wrong Trunks opinions in this thread. Who could possibly be cooler than the guy who killed Freiza for good without breaking a sweat, then went back to his own time and beat everyone there and became earth's only hope against Buu, where he turns Super Saiyan 3 without being dead or fused? Future Trunks for biggest badass.

This is my favorite hairstyle in the series. It's the pointiest possible hair. Plus it's on Armor Trunks who would easily defeat Beerus after 13 or whatever between cell and BoG years of training.

He thinks hes cool but hes not. Also now that I'm older I know that Frieza getting owned was just a way to set up the new badguy but man is it still cool. King Cold's death is pretty brutal too. Then a few pages later He's always been kinda dorky.

https://youtu.be/fCcLxOznBqw?t=34 Look at that moment when you see it from Freeza's perspective. It's just Trunks, floating there and then the screen slowly slides apart. God drat. I mean, bad opinions about Trunks are only to be expected. Some people in this thread persist under the delusion that SSJ4 isn't a complete loving garbage design!

Vegeta gets tired of waiting and decides to step on, out of frustration Nappa goes after the others, which leads to Goku using the kaioken and Nappa's demise. A bit of that may be filler, but I don't think so. I read this part of the series in the manga and Goku definitely uses the kaioken on Nappa, and the even fighting would lead to the positioning that lead to that scene.

Vegeta gets tired of waiting and decides to step on, out of frustration Nappa goes after the others, which leads to Goku using the kaioken and Nappa's demise. I just checked my copy of the manga to be sure, and yeah Goku outclasses Nappa to a ludicrous degree, then remarks that Nappa can take a beating so he might take longer than Goku was thinking. Goku's pretty clearly so above Nappa it's not even a real fight. Nappa's best moves are enough that Goku has to actually defend himself, really. So you're right, I just don't read them as being anywhere near equals, and "after powering up he can handle Goku when he's calm, who is double that," I don't think is accurate at all, but I think I'm splitting hairs by this point. I also legit can't remember how the anime handled it, so it might have exaggerated things a little? The positioning on Nappa going after Gohan and Krillin has always felt kinda odd to me, since it's weird he gets so far away from Goku before he reacts. I guess Goku IS a big dumbass. But it's just to tease the fact that Goku can still turn it up a few notches if he needs to, at risk to himself, so whatever. And, at least in the anime, it's a really memorable scene, which is probably why every game has made "Goku flys at someone and punches them in the spine" a special move.

Oh yeah Goku would win without a doubt. But it wasn't going to be the drubbing you'd expect a fight between a guy and someone twice his power would be, suggesting Nappa's strength can rise above 4000. I may have worded that post poorly.

The problem is that fedora jokes have been driven into the ground and for Buttlord to bring it now just seems hackneyed and boring. Not saying that the original Buttlord was topical but we weren't over-exposed to the type of humor that was there.
