What have they done with Trunks? wonder fans outraged by the difference in the designs of Dragon Ball Z and Super

There is outrage in the fan service of dragonball. Many users on social networks complain about Trunks’ design, now that they have made him grow in the Super manga.

What did they do with Trunks? It is the most frequent question on Twitter regarding this specific situation of Vegeta’s son.

First of all, they highlight the character that appeared in the fourth arc of Dragon Ball Z, that time traveler who ended up becoming one of the most powerful Saiyans in existence.

They even go so far as to put the one with long hair, the one who trained in the time room of the Sacred Temple, where he surpassed his own father, Vegeta. They compare it to the recent illustrations Toyotaro has shown in which even the hair color has changed.

The complaint is not only against the manga. There are also claims for the character design that appears in the Dragon Ball Super anime, in the Goku Black arc.

Are they different characters?

The reality is that yes. Toyotaro has made it clear that he wants to differentiate Future Trunks from the one he just grew up with in Dragon Ball Super. It makes sense, since both were developed in completely different environments.

And while Dragon Ball Z’s little Trunks did face brutal threats, Goku, Vegeta and the rest were always there to save the day. Something different from the one in the future, who was even killed by his teacher, Gohan.

However, that still does not justify what came out in the anime, since Future Trunks was in Super and the differences were quite noticeable.

This discussion regarding character designs seems eternal. There are the fans of the old 2D, which is practically the majority, and then there are those who don’t pay attention to these details as long as the story has good arguments.
