Very good special. Shows what really happened to Goku's father and shows what began the Freeza saga. Great story! A great addition to any DBZ library.




TV Special #2

Our Rating:

6.5 of 7 - Gives us a look into Trunks' past (or is it future?).
DBZ TV Special #2 - Trunks


Synopsis:

The android saga begins with Future Trunks, Gohan and Buruma living in a horrible desolate world. There are two androids, both about as powerful as a Super Saiya-jin. Future Trunks is about 10 or 11 and Gohan is about 17 or so. Trunks decides to have Gohan train him since androids 17 and 18 have killed all of the Z-teamers and Goku died of a heart disease. Gohan wants Trunks to become a Super Saiya-jin at a very early age, and Trunks is very good at powering up, but he can never quite reach the SSJ stage. Eventually Gohan goes to fight the androids and he is beaten but he gets away. He tries again later and Trunks wants to join in, but Gohan knocks him out for his own safety. In the fight with the androids, Gohan seems to be doing fairly well, but then both androids fight him together and Gohan gets killed. Eventually it begins to rain and trunks wakes up, he then looks for Gohan and finds him dead. He begins to cry and goes through so much anguish he goes Super Saiya-jin. The time jumps to later in Trunks' life and he is now about 16 - 17. He has become much stronger and wishes to fight the androids once more before he takes the time machine which Bulma has built for him. Bulma could not test the time machine because it takes 6 months to charge. Trunks fights the androids and is surprised to learn that they have a never-ending KI power. He is beaten badly. Trunks wakes up in a bed with Bulma supervising him. They say their good-byes and he takes the time machine back to the time in which the legendary Son Goku was still alive.

Our Thoughts:

A must have! Very reviting! I love this special more than any of the movies. Shows Trunks' past/Future however you wish to take it. Explains so many things and gives you a great insight of what Trunks went through before he came back to save Goku. Great action. Too bad Trunks' will be the last fightre remaining at the end. You must have this one. It's DBZ at it's best!
