Dragon Ball: How Trunks And Goten Can Be Made Important Again

by

Summary

  • Trunks and Goten can be given Super Saiyan God forms with God Ki.
  • Gotenks could be their answer to a power-up with an even stronger fusion.
  • Fusion with Super Saiyan God forms could lead to incredible new abilities.

With the debut of Dragon Ball Super Manga Volume 24, artist Toyotarou unveiled the principal cast for the series’ future. Once they reached their ultimate transformations, characters like Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Broly, and Piccolo have never been stronger – a fact that Toyotarou seems to emphasize as a sign that these warriors are the primary defenders of Universe 7.

In contrast to the rest, it’s Trunks and Goten who stand out prominently. Despite not being the primary figures throughout the story, they hold significant importance for what lies ahead. Fans have longed for their power-up for quite some time now. Therefore, this article will delve into effective strategies to reintegrate Trunks and Goten as key members once more in the Dragon Ball universe.

Trunks And Goten Can Be Given Super Saiyan God Forms

A Taste Of God Ki

First Appearance Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods
Notable Users Goku, Vegeta

In the Dragon Ball universe, the Super series was initiated because the protagonists needed to reach a level of power capable of matching Beerus, with Super Saiyan 3 falling short. Unlike previous transformations, Super Saiyan God isn’t attainable solely through rigorous training. Instead, one must be granted access to divine energy, or God Ki, which allows their body to perform at an extraordinary level, setting a new standard for strength.

In the “Battle of Gods” film, Goku acquired this form by receiving adequate energy from several other Saiyans, a method likely used by Vegeta to obtain this power off-screen as well. This provides an ideal means for Trunks and Goten to rejoin the action, as this ritual offers them a massive power boost in a minimal timeframe with minimal effort required.

I’ve been a Super Saiyan for years, and now, I too have the power of a God!

Absolutely, while Super Saiyan God is currently beyond the strength of other main characters in their ultimate forms, half-Saiyans like Trunks and Goten have immense latent power. This means they have the potential to become significantly stronger than they are now, possibly even surpassing their fathers in terms of power quickly. In the Buu Saga, Goku and Vegeta were taken aback by how effortlessly Trunks and Goten managed to transform into their Super Saiyan forms.

Observing the current trajectory of the series’ transformation arc, it seems plausible that Super Saiyan Blue should follow a consistent pattern for Trunks and Goten as well. Given their unique position among the half-Saiyans, witnessing how they adapt to this shift would be quite intriguing. As for Gohan, since he’s yet to tap into God Ki and instead chose Beast form, it offers an exciting opportunity for fans to explore how the blend of half-Saiyan potential with God Ki could lead to fresh and captivating new transformations for him.

Gotenks Could Be Their Answer To A Power-Up

The Strongest Version of the Fusion

  • Trunks and Goten have used fusion more than anyone else.
  • A version of Gotenks in the modern era would be very powerful.

Instead, numerous fans speculate that the source of Trunks and Goten’s imminent power-up might reside with Gotenks. Across the series, they are the most eager to merge, leading many to regard Gotenks as a crucial component in either character’s inventory. This is why so many fans hope for his reappearance. Just like the desire to witness these two Saiyans mature, both in terms of age and strength, the same anticipation exists for their fusion.

In Dragon Ball Super, power levels have significantly increased. Therefore, it’s probable that just another fusion wouldn’t be enough for Gotenks, and they’d need God Ki as a minimum. This means that if Trunks and Goten fuse again, they might not even come close to competing with Ultra Instinct Goku or those on his level. Hence, an additional immense power seems almost necessary.

The main issue at hand revolves around the characteristics of the fusion process, as every fusion technique demonstrated by Saiyans in previous instances either has a limited duration or is unpredictable. However, if Potara Fusion were applied, it would produce a unique fusion different from Gotenks. Therefore, Fusion Dance seems to be the only viable option, despite being a contentious topic. It’s worth noting that Dragon Ball often incorporates unexpected plot twists at the last minute.

As a keen observer of the Dragon Ball Z universe, it’s clear that Gotenks holds just as much affection from fans as his individual components, Trunks and Goten. The anticipation for his return has been palpable, not only because we’d like to see him again at an advanced age compared to previous appearances, but also due to the excitement surrounding his Super Saiyan 3 form. However, if Trunks and Goten were to fuse while in their Super Saiyan God forms, the potential power of that fusion would be truly awe-inspiring.

Dragon Ball can be streamed on Crunchyroll.
