shorts has been a popular character ever since his succeeding twin debuted style back inDragon Ball Z ’s Android Saga .

Dragon Ball Super’s Artist Toyotarou Wanted a Trunks Spinoff

Trunks' Spinoff Likely Would’ve Been High School Themed

In an interview posted tothe official Dragon Ball website in 2023 , which has only been partially translated , Toyotarou says that he was at one point considering doing a spinoff star young , present - 24-hour interval Trunks , when Akira Toriyama suggested to him that he rather make Trunks the principal character of the nextDragon Ball Superarc . ThatDragon Ball Superarc was the High School Saga , set just before theDragon Ball Super : Super Heromovie adaptation . It extensively boast Trunks and Goten , who have taken up Gohan ’s mantle as the heroes Saiyaman X-1 and X-2 .

In past consultation , Toyotarou has show that he enjoyed the Saiyaman arc of the originalDragon Ball , so it should perhaps do as no surprise that he parachute at the probability to make his own version . It seems likely that if there were to have been a spinoff focusing on Trunks create at this level , it would ’ve been a more slice - of - animation take on Trunks ' mellow school life , as we saw in those few chapters ofDragon Ball Super . Many fans were less than thrilled with this arc as the follow - up to the exciting ending of the Granolah the Survivor Saga , so an total spinoff dedicated to Trunks ' high-pitched schooling caper may not have been well encounter .

Still , if the spinoff had somehow gone forrad , that content would presumptively no longer be part of theDragon Ball Supermanga , instead moving directly into theSuper Heroadaptation . There ’s also no telling how long such a spinoff might ’ve lasted ; it ’s always possible it would have been little more than a one - shooter , covering more or less what we have inSuper .

In the end , Toriyama was believably correct to encourage Toyotarou to simply put his Trunks - focused tarradiddle directly intoDragon Ball Super . While Trunks ' character is sure impregnable enough to be the lead-in , such a serial would be quite a going away from the usualDragon Ballthat lover know and sleep together . And that ’s all without getting into the sum up work that a spinoff would be , on top of drawingDragon Ball Super . It ’s operose to say how serious Toyotarou was about a Trunks spinoff , butDragon Ball Superis probably better off because it did n’t happen .
