Title: Why Trunks?


flamingo6584 - January 10, 2006 10:44 PM (GMT)
Did anyone else feel Freeza eventual demise was a little....shall we say...anti climactic? If all that had to be done was get a sword and slice him up into little peices, couldn't they have done it about 52 episodes ago?

But seriously, do you think Trunks should have been the one to get rid of the tyrant?

This is a good guestion love. I don't know if the future Trunks knew the history of his father and frieza, cause i think if he had then maybe he would have let Vegeta take him on instead of doing it himself. :thumbsup:

I'd rather have had Goku (because he was still at that point the "legendary" ssj) or Veggie (because of all the terrible things Freeza had done to him) finish Freeza off rather than Trunks...but I guess it was a way to introduce him.

chidogs - January 11, 2006 05:12 AM (GMT)
That was the impression I got. It was the "Wow" factor. Who is this powerful guy??

But I would rather have seen Vegeta get to finish the job.

LisaB - January 11, 2006 03:51 PM (GMT)
Well, Vegeta *couldn't* have finished the job, could he? In his pink shirt and yellow pants? :lol: I think that's the real reason he insisted everyone hide---so Frieza and Pops couldn't see him in that get-up! :laugh:

Mirai Trunks is a great character, and I love that he did it. It's the perfect entrance and intro to the best saga in DBZ.

And one instant spandexed Vegeta there is, ready to fight. (In his little booties too.)



I think having Trunks defeat Frieza would be a victory for Vegeta, had he known Trunks was his son at the time of course. Not knowing probably gave him some horrible psycological scarring or something. :unsure:

However, when he found out, I bet it gave his opinion on his son a big turn about.

What doesn't? :lol: He takes himself waaay to seriously.

Could we have a big "V" on his spandex a la Superman? :P

Why do I have mental images of Vegeta in an 80% off sale?

The big V could go on the lower abdomen.....

Yuss! :worship: We need that baby added over here!

Back to the question at hand, I don't think it's fair that Trunks got to do it, but it served it's purpose for the new saga. And really, there was a sense of justice in that it was Vegeta's son even if Vegeta didn't know it at the time.

SSJ_daisy - January 11, 2006 10:05 PM (GMT)
Well, it certainly used the whole dramatic entrance effect to the fullest.

I think that it was the whole fact that for once, Trunks wanted to impress his father, eventhough Vegeta had no idea, and that Trunks was sort of seeing it as justice for the way Freeza had treated Vegeta.

Cyberbat - January 12, 2006 04:52 AM (GMT)
I was very excited about Trunks. I mean common! It’s Vegeta's son!

But the way they killed of Frieza.......terrible. That was just a big "HYPE-HYPE-HYPE IT UP!" with a big fat :rip:

Id rather spend 2 minutes in a room with :satan: than watch that again. That was a lame way too go. It should have had more explosions... AND WHERE was the screaming for half an episode...it was only their for like a quarter of it. NOT up to DBZ standards says I.


Amcm74 - January 12, 2006 05:55 AM (GMT)
After all Freiza did to the Royal bloodline. Killing King Vegeta and enslaving Vegeta I thought it was poetic justice that Trunks did the annoying b*****d in. I understand why people would feel the need to see Vegeta take Freiza out, but Goku? Freiza did some mean things to Goku, but nowhere near as emotionally damaging as what happened to Vegeta. After all Krilling got wished back above and beyond that what would Goku killing him achieve?

Sure Trunks didn’t know all the nasty little details but that revenge belonged to his family and blood alone.


On a side note, when I saw that Frieza had returned and had not been killed by Goku, I almost turned off the TV and let the series die. I couldnt stand one more minute of him.

Go Trunks! If you hadn't killed him, I would have.

shybulma - January 12, 2006 02:08 PM (GMT)
Well, imo, I think M. Trunks was stronger than most of the characters by this time. We all know that Goku would have finished off Frieza had Trunks not done so (based on the future timeline events as told by Trunks - Trunks even admitted that he interfered unnecessarily after learning about teleportation).

While it seemed anti-climatic (which I didn't notice cause I was too busy drooling over the him), I think it was appropriate considering that we learned he's Vegeta's son.

I don't know . . . Frieza has all those cybernectic implants now, who knows who strong he really it? And with his dad in tow. Maybe Goku couldn't have killed them both.

I like to think so anyway. Goku always being the strongest/best/whatever gets boring---for Goku too, I'm sure.

shybulma - January 12, 2006 04:38 PM (GMT)
My interpretation of how the present and future timeline were supposed to go, I would think it was the same until Trunks got involved and screwed up the present line. :P The way I interpreted the situation, Frieza should have been cyber-Frieza in Mirai's timeline as he was in the canon timeline so Goku probably (with this hypothesis at least) should have been able to stop Frieza still. Trunks only got involved because he didn't think Goku was going to make it (and thus Goku revealing he knows teleportation and Trunks spazzing out a bit for getting involved)

Off topic, but Rose, your avatar, "I feel pretty..." OMG, I really hurt myself laughing, honest.

shybulma - January 12, 2006 07:10 PM (GMT)
Aw, thanks. I thought it was the perfect avatar for this month. ^_^ The idea struck me when I was watching Anger Management last week at the part where Adam Sandler starting singing "I feel pretty. Oh so pretty. I feel pretty, witty, and GAY!" After that I knew I had no choice. :freeza:

Didn't Goku show off his ability to trump Trunks? I remember the bit when Trunks came at him with the sword in an example/spar practice and Goku stopped him with a finger. If Goku could've beat Trunks, he'd probably beaten Frieza/ King Cold.

He was just fashionably late.

shybulma - January 13, 2006 02:51 PM (GMT)
Goku even told Trunks that even though he wasn't on Earth yet, he would have fought Frieza by teleporting to Earth. So I do think that without Trunks, Goku hypothetically would have beaten Frieza. Trunks just jumped the gun and went into battle.

Gozar - December 24, 2006 09:37 AM (GMT)
Well of course it should have been Trunks. We needed someone who isn't a softie when it comes to taking out villians. Trunks may be a sweet guy, but he doesn't take crap from villians like Goku.

Julesie - November 30, 2007 10:27 PM (GMT)
I think Vegeta should of been the one to destroy Frieza in the end considering all the tyrant put him through in his life aboard the spaceship but atleast it was his own son that done it so it was still someone in his bloodline to kill Frieza off.

I agree 150%. Vegita should have been the one to do it, but alas, I guess there is some justice in his son being the one ot finish him off.

But don't you think it'd be too...IDK...Random? It's like, k this guy failed now let someone who got his butt handed to him by Freeza do it.

Well, Vegita had gotten a lot stronger at this point, after almost dying and his training so he could have killed Freeza. Trunks wasn't supposed to do it in the first place but he thought that Goku was going to be late so he stepped in to do it. He ended up changing a lot of things in the timeline becuase of his travels and he later even admited that he should have not killed him.

I know the reasoning behind letting Trunks do it (showing how powerful he was) but in realility, it should have been Vegita. He had something personal with Freeza, while Trunks had never even seen the dude before.

LolalovesVegeta - February 5, 2008 04:35 PM (GMT)
I agree that Vegeta should've been given the honor of offing Frieza and King Cold. However, it is (some) justice that his son did it. I really wish Frieza would've realized whose son Trunks was. I know Frieza realized that Trunks was another Saiyan, but he really would've been shocked to realize Vegeta had a son!
Kind of poetic justice. . .

Gozar - February 5, 2008 09:42 PM (GMT)
But that may have been overly expected if Goku was late.

I agree with you but i hated it when him and his fther got spanked all over the mountain by the androids i mean come on they were both many times more powerful than frieza and they get beaten by two walking washers?! were's the justice in that.

Remember Vegeta's filler dream? Running towards an SSJ Goku & Trunks and they just disappear.

walking washers :rotflmao:

Akira loves to have Vegeta gettin his a** handed to him, by Freeza, and even evil Buu choked him like a punk.

I was was very dissappointed that Vegeta didn't get his vengeance, I mean does he ever get a break? I admit it was a good entrance for Trunks (and boy what an entrance :wub: ) but it just seemed also like what was the point, Trunks regreted interfering afterwards, it was kinda like a wasted battle. It might seem like poetic justice with Trunks being Vegeta's son, but Freeza and King Cold didn't know that neither did Vegeta.

I already think that Vegeta should have had his moment on Namek, the battle meant more to Vegeta, it was his by right. Instead he's always getting usurped by someone else, no wonder he's so neurotic.
