You know that a DragonBall movie is special when you watch it and you immediately make associations with the anime series itself, and such a thing happens only twice, the first time is Bardock, and the second, is this one. Here we know what happened on the future of the most amazing and deep DB character, the son of Bulma and Vegeta, Trunks. He is trained by Gohan who already has turned in a Super Saiyan. The story begins with Goku dying because of a terrible heart virus. A few months later the androids brothers #17 and #18 kill all Z fighters, except for Gohan and Trunks (i won't say Master Roshi is a Z fighter, he survived, even though they didn't show if he fought the androids, probably has not). The history shows why Trunks has such a different personality compared to the other saiyans. The future has molded his personality, all the suffering, friends dying made him a furious and efficient fighter, and he rarely shows pride on the DragonBall series. Great movie, and a must see for any DBZ fan.

This TV special tells the story of an alternate time line of what Trunk's future looks like before he had gone back into the time machine to warn Goku of his disease. All the characters are killed off trying to fight Android 17 and 18 leaving only two remaining Z Warriors left: Gohan and Trunks. The Androids show no mercy and kill everyone leaving no one spared. Trunks desperately wants to turn into a Super Saiyan but ultimately cannot do so until Gohan gets killed by Android 17 and Android 18 which pushes Trunks past his limit to go Super Saiyan. Trunks then tries his best to destroy Android 17 and Android 18 but fails. It has a lot of action in it. I give it a 8/10.

Future Trunks, my favorite character in the history of the DBZ series is definitely one of the coolest guys i know. So to me, I highly lingered for 'History of Trunks' to come out. When I watched it, to me it seemed a little to fast, they didn't give enough time to soak in emotional and sudden events, don't get me wrong this movie had it's memorable moments, the fights, the emotions, and the history of a man in a crushed world of solitude. It just seemed a bit rushed. I really liked the fact how Gohan and Trunks are the only heroes left to save what's left of the world, I'm not sure, but it makes them look really cool. And Gohan shows a lot of strength in his leadership, his fights, and his choice of words, he even looks cooler than what he looks like in the DBZ series at his age. Overall, this movie was great, but not awesome. Any Trunks fans out there? watch this movie!

This made for TV movie is a classic. The animation is top notch. Better than the series even. It tells what happens to the Z warriors in the future, and why Trunks had to go back in time to save Gokou.
A short summary would be: In the 'alternate' future the androids have killed everyone but Gohan and Trunks(and Master Roshi and Bulma, though they don't play a big role in the movie). Gohan trains Trunks, but Trunks cannot turn Super Saiyan. Gohan doesn't let Trunks fight the androids because he's not a Super Saiyan. Not until Gohans death does Trunks finally turn Super Saiyan.There are some very emotional scenes, and some great fighting scenes as well. I recommend that if you see a fansub copy to pick it up. It's well worth it. KamehameHAA!
