Everyone’s favorite half saiyan time-traveler is back. The new arc in Dragonball Super has been made public by series creator Akira Toriyama. The new arc will feature the return of iconic character; Trunks, which is a mystery because the last we saw Trunks, he had brought peace to his timeline. While we don’t know what has brought on this appearance by a character with seemingly resolved story Akira Toriyama has given us this: “I put together this story based on a suggestion from the editorial office. Like last time, I write an outline of the entire plot, then the script writers break it up into episodes, expanding on things, changing things around, or adding in new bits as need be. Despite being so strong, Trunks barely escapes from the future with his life. The future was supposed to be at peace, so what in the world could have happened!? And what about this foe too strong even for Trunks to handle, Black Goku!? (Well, you can probably imagine what he’s like just based off the name) It’s the start of a battle that surpasses time and space, and drags in the God of Destruction, Kaiōshin, even the Omni-King! Many mysteries will be revealed! There’s some confusing bits with time changing here and there, but just bear with me. It should definitely turn out to be a fun story! Even I haven’t checked the final script yet.”
Akira Toriyama has left us with more questions than answers (a good thing to do as a writer), but probably the biggest one being “what the hell is black Goku”. The Dragonball Super series has added a plethora of new characters and dimensions and has also marked the return of some characters that I as a fan never thought that I would see again (Frieza, the Pilaf Gang and now Trunks apparently). Whatever this new series beholds we can all pray that Trunks is still the same cool warrior full of conviction that we remember.
