Trunks Saved the Dragon Ball Universe… by Accidentally Breaking It
Throughout his many appearances in the Dragon Ball mythos, Trunks has proven himself to be a true hero as he is always willing to put his own well being on the line and travel into the unknown if it means protecting his world and the people he loves. However, during his first mission involving a time machine and a fractured timeline, Trunks accidentally broke the Dragon Ball universe, but by doing so, he actually saved it.
Trunks is the son of Vegeta and Bulma who made his debut in Dragon Ball Chapter 330 by Akira Toriyama. The first time readers see Trunks, it is a version of the Saiyan hero from the future who traveled back in time to destroy the Androids before they became too powerful and decimated the world just as they did in his future. However, as Trunks later discovered, traveling back in time and changing events from the past doesn’t change the future. Instead, all of the timeline meddling Future Trunks did, while for the right reasons, skewed his timeline and effectively broke the Dragon Ball universe. Thankfully, as revealed in Dragon Ball Super, the universe has a way of correcting itself and instead of being ripped apart by the fracture in time and space, a new timeline is simply created and is monitored by the Kai of that universe in the form of a Time Ring. However, while there are no cataclysmic ramifications for fracturing time, it is a very serious offense and Trunks’ time travel mission did not go unnoticed.
