YOU CAN NOT BUST THE KRUST

Also, we've got all of the loving characters from Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z, and we're just focusing on Pan (stereotypical idiot kiddo), Trunks (weirdly competent, but still completely useless), and new kid Goku (boring punch kid). What were they thinking?

You nailed it! The depiction of GT Trunks was proof that the show was silly. GT Trunks looked like a Super Saiyan brought to you by Old Navy, with his hideous khaki shorts and fashionable equestrian riding jacket. He flew around taking orders from Pan and acting like a bumbling doofus, when he was the son of a super scientist and a proud alien prince. Gimme a break.

Thankfully, Dragon Ball Super gave dignity back to Trunks, where the Future version of him is a total badass, and arguably even a savior of humanity, since he killed the Androids and prevented Majin Buu from hatching. Even Papa Vegeta is proud of his Future son.

Super's Future Trunks would hulk out and slice up Baby in approximately 2 seconds and give him the Freeza treatment. The guy knows how to get poo poo done.

The characters in Dragonball have seen enough celestial bodies blown up they have PTSD. Goofing off about it is the only way they can cope with the dread of knowing Yamcha or Goten is capable of ending all life on Earth. The Dark Dragonballs are no different.

I assumed they were trying to recreate the original Dragonball, with Pan as Goku's stand in, Trunks as Bulma, and Goku because it's against the law to not have him fix everything apparently.

Also even through she just a baby, the version of Pan is so far a lot more fun then her GT version.

It's definitely relevant, though it remains to be seen whether he's actually using God Ki or if it's just visual shorthand for "Hey, Trunks is >= SSB now."

I keep thinking it means Trunks is about to tap into SSB, but he's so full of rage and fury that he's not finishing the transformation. Like the anger will give him a boost of power but a massive reduction in stamina and he'll run out fast compared to Goku and Vegeta turning it off and on at will. Enough time to buy the Bafuda from the skill shop and eat another big brunch.

I've been thinking about the Broly/Trunks situation. Originally they were very different types of cool. Pure hulking power fantasy vs a more stainable denim jacket next generation cool.

I guess they blurred it a little with Trunks going USSJ with cell, but now if they were to do something with Broly it would probably cause confusion about how Trunks and him are connected.

Part of me thinks Trunks can't go the traditional god form, and has essentially created something new. Gotta use that human blood for something.

I had this funny theory that the emotions locked-up from mind control being released are what fuel Broly's power, sort of like Tetsuo from Akira. Also the thought of the God choir playing to Broly was amusing.

If he starts wrecking poo poo like they're suggesting he will I assume Vegeta could not be happier. #1 the strongest would not be Goku #2 the strongest would be his son not Goku's. What more could he want for the future?

He might be an rear end in a top hat, but Vegeta's got a nurturing side to him when it comes to helping others get strong, so I think he'd be fine with Trunks surpassing him. It just means he has to train even more to be the stronger one again. It's really just Goku being stronger that gets him mad, these days.

Not if they just use this as a means of explaining away the "legendary" part.

Maybe something along the lines of Broly not actually being legendary, just completely loving nuts. Like, we've seen that getting angry makes them stronger (Goku even showed that off in this episode), so maybe just completely and utterly snapping just puts them into some kind of unlimited power hyper mode.

Trunks just found out he was the reason for his entire world dying and started babbling on about accepting sin. He seems pretty nuts to me just now.

edit: Super really feels like it's making effort here and there to tie previous plotlines into the main continuity, i don't think it would be too much of a stretch for the Movies to be retconned in in some capacity.

Aura stacking is a thing in Dragon Ball now, so I wouldn't be surprised if Trunks tapped into God power but the rage is just pushing the SSJ2 aura out

Super should last long enough for us to see Pan vs. Cabba at another big tournament. Piccolo could be Pan's teacher, and Gohan would approve of this. They could have this great shot where you see the cast of Super sitting in the stands, and cheering for Pan. Mr. Satan would be waving a giant flag back and forth and getting the crowd excited. Piccolo would be pacing around the stage like a worried coach, shouting instructions at Pan.

Something like that would be a nice throwback to DBZ.

"That must weigh heavily on your soul. Let me purge it for you."
Small note, Trunks in Super now wears a turtle neck, as he does under his coat as leader of Time Patrol, possibly a deliberate choice? DBS did change his hair to Blue, which hasn't applied to TP Trunks though.

Would be interesting if they worked SSJ4 into DBS, since it's not just a progression of regular SSJ. Could rename it though.
