@@fmrc93 Fr. Future Trunks rarely got nice things in his timeline. Everyone is dead including his parents, no dragon balls, not even beerus and whis are around, and eventually his whole universe got wiped out by the god of everything. Now he lives in an alternate, alternate timeline of his future timeline where he cant really interact with any of his loved ones without interfering with their timeline. The few things he has going for him is he prevented the buu saga from happening in his time and he got a hot girlfriend. honestly, i think they should have let him stay in the main timeline. Its not like the one he is in now is any better and it would be more interesting if he did.
Bro Imagine being Vegeta, havin being a servant to Frieza’s goofy ass his entire life up to this point and being clapped by him to death only to find out some random ass kid not only killed him in minute but Frieza’s daddy too Xd
And Trunks truly looked like his father there in the Freezer and King Cold fight, by all means. Different than even what Future Trunks is supposed to be and with how he usually handled things in the Future. Classic DBZ episodes were something else.
Bro came back to the future didn’t waste ANY time. No “I let you go for a better fight down the line.” No letting them power up. Fuck that. Bro came home for BLOOD.
The appearance of Trunks is my personal favorite DBZ moment. When me and my friend were kids, we were so hyped to finally see Goku as a supersaiyan, but then we see this mystery fighter who is a supersaiyan and easily beats Freezia!!! We were freaking out and had no idea who he could be and were in suspense for the next episode.
Real, this is exactly why Future Trunks will always be my favorite character in Z. Dude's appearance literally changed up the game, possibly more than even Raditz.
Trunks has major PTSD. Man's witnessed everybody get killed by the androids, then got faded for years. He finishing folks off before any power ups or anything like that. Creased up his capsule corp jacket the night before, grabbed his Tims, and tried to make his future better
utterly disgusting how lord freeza was disrespect here to hype up trunks debut. lol. not even one hit from freeza or a clash. just one shot. come on he was mecha and stronger. but of course not as strong as ss. but we never knew since he never got a chance to power up... also humans creating beings stronger then ss and an alien being who was the strongest until goku ascended. how gero did this is still P.I.S. to this day!! but cell makes sense tho.
Trunks fighting is straight business, no nonsense denies transformations(at least tries to) denies beam struggles when fighting people stronger than him, starts at near max power so he can put up a fight etc...
Frieza took his first ever L in his life by Goku, pulled up to his turf with his whole squad and his DAD and still got packed by a dude with a bowl cut. On top of that not a single punch was thrown by Frieza or King Cold which should show that they fr got no hands
Trunks, I think, was always my favorite Dragon Ball Z character. He was one of the few Saiyans with common sense, and tried his best to stop the current threat before the situation got worse. A shame that Kid Trunks is so unremarkable in comparison. Hell, you'd think Kid Trunks meeting Future Trunks in Dragon Ball Super would inspire the kid to be as cool as his adult self. I know that Trunks and Goten finally were allowed to age into actual teenagers, but I feel like it's not going to make them more "serious" in the long run.
i know GT is not cannon but GT Goku was done giving out sensu beans, dude spent a whole arc on a mass killing spreed of evil dragons lol. that was literally right after obliterating super 17, he hit super 17 so hard he wiped that android from reality .

@@sheflashedus246 Done giving out Senzu, but that doesn't mean much when most of his battles are against people he could fodderize in Z and doesn't do that in GT for no reason.

The other 3 were weak but Goku toyed with them or let his guard down and they put him in a bad situation. Oceanus was stronger than the others, but had a disappointing ending much like the other 3, and Nuova, Eis, and Syn are all okay.
He's probably the only character who just gets the job done, no faffing around. Same with future Androids and Cell, future Dabura, Gokua in Bojack movie etc

What was crazy is Dr. Gero making androids stronger than Frieza or a Super Saiyan when the last data he recorded was Vegeta's battle with Goku on Earth with power levels under 25k. Dr. Gero had no clue what crazy power was on Namek yet he made androids that could beat that? What a load of BS!
@@cassidyferdinand6435....Ngl, that used to bother the hell outta me as a jit as well. Also, I could never accept that from what we've seen in the Saiyan saga, nothing manmade on Earth could rival the power of the Saiyans, yet somehow humans with a few metal enhancements here and there were somehow far more powerful and durable than planet busting intergalactic aliens. Like Saiyans can crush metal like it's nothing, yet...well you've seen what happened.
Yeah I’ve seen ppl say trunks’ smugness in this fight doesn’t fit his character but if I’d been helpless all my life and then went into a fight I 100% knew I could win, I’d be a little smug too (also it helps that despite being cocky he still kills them pretty quickly)
@@tiablue9106 i agree with both. It makes sense now. Dude had a chip on his shoulder since the androids killed gohan who was like his brother. Couple that with everyone dying except his mom. This future trunks didnt even know his real dad. So many layers to this character
@@MauricioBarraganNah unfortunately he hasn’t been the same since 18 broke his sword, he had one last good moment when he took out the androids but that’s it
To be fair, it's really his own fault. For decades he stood on his natural strength alone expecting noone would ever be able to touch him. Then when an actual challenge showed up, he folded like a card table because he didn't know how to effectively use his own power.
This scene right here, this shit gave me actual goosebumps. My man Trunks said like 10 words during that whole thing but his presence alone gave an entire damn lecture to everyone who was watching. He's the living, breathing definition of "less talk, more Ws."
“This is why Future Trunks is my all time fav db character” Because it all comes down to the fact that when he first shows up and his backstory, his character building during the android & cell saga, and then also as much as some db fans don’t like the goku black arc I’ma be honest it was that arc that I started watching Dragon ball super more and actually being more interested in the story as well, of the series going forward. And watchu mean trunks is HIM!!!
I miss the villains that couldn’t regenerate. When they got a hole put through them, you knew they took real damage. The cell, boo, etc, type enemies got kind of old IMO.
King Cold in his final form was stronger than Kaioshin, but seeing as how Cold is extremely old (old enough to have been around during Majin Buu's original rampage), his body is no longer capable of containing his full power without killing him. Thus he remains in his 'second form'.
That was King Cold's final form. He doesn't have transformations like Frieza. Frieza is built different. He's a mutant. His "final" form is actually his base, but he had to create his other forms to restrict his power. His second form looking like King Cold is presumably an homage to his dad. Frieza's transformations are actually him untransforming back into his base. Golden was his first real powerup transformation.
King Cold was weaker than Captain Ginyu, which is why Frieza called the Ginyu Force to help him on Namek and not his dad. Frieza also told Goku that Ginyu was the 2nd strongest in the universe, which means King Cold is much weaker than Ginyu. Even Cui and Appule are vastly stronger than King Cold, which is why Frieza would rather employ them in his army than his weak father who has no attacks. King Cold had to step down and give Frieza the position because he was afraid he was going to get overthrown by King Vegeta, who's power level was less than 10,000, which means King Cold's power level is only probably comparable to Mr. Satan (but probably much weaker, because at least Mr Satan survived an attack from Cell and he actually punches and kicks, unlike Cold who has neither ki attacks nor is able to punch or kick. If he could punch and kick, he would have done so against Trunks). It's true, Toriyama literally confirmed it in issues 579, verse 11:19 of the Holy Daizenshuu.
@@N.i.E.M.O i know yo ass a troll, but just because i know other people in this community are dumb enough to believe you, i feel the need to point out that king cold was stated multiple times to be as strong as frieza. he was actually called a "Second frieza" he's that strong in just his second (or by some implications first) form. And all of frieza's family are mutants, this includes king cold. frieza was a mutant among mutants because he also has high potential which is something not implied for king cold, and if anything the opposite is implied. HOWEVER based on some statements in french guidebooks you could say cold was stronger than frieza even was (this would be the implication that cold would of been stronger than frieza if he transformed) a suppressed mecha frieza is also stated as somewhat weaker than cold in the anime, though gohan mentions frieza's power can go much higher than his current level of suppression, it's unclear if cold was also suppressing himself in his form. Point is, be it weaker or stronger than frieza, cold is DEFINIATELY around frieza's level. cold NEVER feared vegeta and thought nothing of him or the saiyans. it was frieza who feared the saiyans and feared king vegeta overthrowing him. even in this video you can see it's frieza who's afraid of super saiyans, not king cold. Cold may be able to transform as well, as in the dragon book it is stated that he appears to be the sort who could transform. and toriyama makes 0 statements on king cold other than only he and frieza have that level of abnormal power. In summary stop trolling on the internet and get a life, this community has enough brain dead people in it as is without trolls spreading misinformation because they think it's funny.
@@prodecks6654 Relax buddy. I agree with you all the way. I was trying to mock all the people who go around proclaiming King Cold to be some chump jobber who could have been taken out by Raditz just because he let Frieza be in charge. I already know full-well that King Cold is stated in the manga to be at Frieza's level, with the anime specifically declaring him to be **much** stronger than Frieza (not to mention supplementary material such as T3 stating him to be more powerful than both Frieza *and* Cooler). I feel that King Cold in his 'second form' was already stronger than 'final form Frieza', which is evidenced by his confidence that he could take on someone who defeated his son. That would also mean that a 'final form King Cold' would logically be (if we are to take Frieza's transformation multipliers at heart) between Perfect Cell and 'Super' Perfect Cell level. This would essentially make him more powerful than even Supreme Kai - which checks out, as King Cold only ever warned Frieza about messing with Majin Buu and Beerus, which would be the only two beings that Cold would have known about which would exceeded a power beyond his maximum. As for why Cold never bothered to transform against Trunks, it would make sense that Cold is simply too old to be able to utilize his full power anymore. Just like DBZ-era Frieza, Cold stays in a suppressed state to reserve his power. But unlike Frieza, who reserved his power due to inexperience and youth, King Cold suppresses himself because his body is too old to contain that level of power anymore. After all, he may be old enough to have witnessed the original rampage of Majin Buu. That makes him pretty damn old.
@@N.i.E.M.O He didn't transform because after the sword part trunks ended it too fast. He was probably starting to say wait and let me transform first before boom.
@@TheIrishRushin It's a cool and popular fan theory, but if we judge the scene by the rest of the series, and Toriyama's writing tropes, there has been almost zero instances of a character being unable to show off their full power (if they had the capability of doing so) at some point. I mean, when Frieza first told us he had four different forms, we *knew* we were going to see all of them. When Frieza said he wasn't using his full power, we *knew* Goku wasn't going defeat him until we saw Frieza's full power. Then there's Cell. We *knew* he was going to achieve his Perfect Form long before he ever actually did, because it's been set up. In DB, if something about a particular character or ability is set up, it *will* have a payoff. Granted, that payoff may be really lame - such as in the very case with King Cold, who is set up to be an even more powerful foe than Frieza (according to the anime at least), but is taken out just as easily as Frieza was.
We're gon need Cooler stepping up in here to bring some redemption to his fam like damn, he even disrespected Goku so hard he didn't even throw hands, he threw Kakarots like there aint no tomorrow
They'll need to give Cooler way more power than he originally had, Goku wiped him out without an issue when he turned into a Super Saiyan yet Frieza was able to last longer and even trade blows with Goku before he "finished" him... pause
@@lcjetton in the movie timeline I think it’s implied he’s slightly stronger than frieza saga assuming it takes place during the timeskip of the android Saga
@@godspeedredeicieli4384 Cooler was actually WEAKER than Frieza because he was simply born with less power, and in order to compensate, he constantly stays in his fourth form, and it is believed that spending essentially his whole life in that fourth form gave him access to the 'fifth form' (which was slightly stronger than 100% fourth form Frieza), in essence, he was straining but he wasn't training. King Cold however rivalled Frieza's final form with just his second form but lacked the potential or motivation to go beyond. He was basically sitting on his ass more than his son was at this point and likely lost any capacity to further transform. And all this was likely why he never really cared about his sons. King Cold had been a mutant in his own species, and Cold had been the one to actually expand his organisation with his sheer power, but after stepping down he realised neither of his sons were going to ever really be as powerful as he once was, simply resorting to coddling 'the stronger one'. It could be argued that King Cold's power might be a result of the massive expansion of his empire actually requiring effort on his part (thus, 'training') and the only reason Frieza was not as strong was because he was basically handed everything he could have ever wanted, he never actually pushed himself until Namek (I believe it was implied that Frieza only ever had to transform into his second form before Namek). If we're going into non-canon, Lord Chilled was deleted by a 50~ million SSJ Bardock, and that was in his 'first form', which implies that first form Chilled was anywhere between 4-40 million if we assume that Bardock had gone from 220k to 1 million after his 'death'. The Cold Family is actually getting weaker (only considering power level from birth) with every generation, simply compensating for that fact with new and further transformations.
@@willvan7685 you know all of that is bullshit lol friezas forms are actually limiters that make him weaker rather than actual forms. His natural state is his final form
Cooler was actually not as powerful as either Mecha-Frieza nor King Cold. The Cooler movie actually takes place in an alternate timeline in which Goku defeated Frieza quickly enough that he was able to escape Namek on the ship with Gohan and Piccolo. This is why in the movie, Goku does not know Instant Transmission, nor can he transform into a SSJ at will. The movie actually takes place *before* Mecha-Frieza and King Cold show up, which also explains why Cooler does not mention trying to avenge Cold. To further back this up, the movie literally released whilst the original anime was still in the middle of the Frieza vs SSJ Goku fight on Namek. People placing the movie after the arrival of Trunks (which are most people) are mistaken.
4:14 how kind of codenamesuper to show the christian version of frieza's dismemberment and incineration. im so glad i can now show this wholesome content to my 8 children in kindergarten 🥰🥰🥰
Dude, my jaw literally dropped frist time watching when Trunks decided he was done playing around and just sliced Frieza in half, then to little pieces. So quick and efficient! Shit was so fantastic!
Trunks would be my favorite DBZ character if he didn't get consistently washed up until he went back to the future. Bro has two(2) cool moments and they're at his introduction and exit from the series (until super where, you guessed it, more washing. You'd think this man was laundry the way he be getting washed all the time, he truly is his father's son)
I always wish that theGoku black arc was just purely about trunks, non of that time traveling to get help, just trunks trying to figure out how to defeat black on his own without relying on Goku or vegeta
What if he found the ultrasupermegax9001 hyperbolic timechamber. He can train with anyone that has ever existed and learn lssj5 with 9001 times kiaoken and supermegaultraextremeinstinct X 5. And then he just one shots black and powers up so much he also vaporises immortal zamasu? Or he could possibly have found the dragon balls else with the help of bulma and fixed a lot that happened in his time line, but you know I'm just crazy for saying that and I'd really see the first thing happening over the 2nd, either way everyone in the future gets done dirty. Gohan should've decimated the androids already anyways, keeping the series logic. And it's only downhill from there. They just got done dirty.
Future Trunks, before DRAGON BALL SUPER, is my favorite character in the DRAGON BALL franchise. He is by far the most developed character in DRAGON BALL Z. He had a bona fide hero's journey.

You know trunks had to show out it was the first time he got to beat anybody💀
Yeah I’ve seen ppl say trunks’ smugness in this fight doesn’t fit his character but if I’d been helpless all my life and then went into a fight I 100% knew I could win, I’d be a little smug too (also it helps that despite being cocky he still kills them pretty quickly)
@@tiablue9106 i agree with both. It makes sense now. Dude had a chip on his shoulder since the androids killed gohan who was like his brother. Couple that with everyone dying except his mom. This future trunks didnt even know his real dad. So many layers to this character
"Another saiyen besides kakarot?"- Straight Vegeta voice 🤣 I'm ded.

@@MauricioBarraganNah unfortunately he hasn’t been the same since 18 broke his sword, he had one last good moment when he took out the androids but that’s it
People of african American descent call him a beverage of sorts
At this point I feel bad for frieza he takes the most L's 💀
To be fair, it's really his own fault. For decades he stood on his natural strength alone expecting noone would ever be able to touch him. Then when an actual challenge showed up, he folded like a card table because he didn't know how to effectively use his own power.
Nah that title def belongs to vegeta 😆
what happened to Freeza against Toppo was asinine
@mega stryke Gameplay in the manga he went straight black ghetto hood🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 he did soo dirty to goku and vegeta he was amused himself
@@megastrykegameplay8866
Mmm, now I'm hungry
This scene right here, this shit gave me actual goosebumps. My man Trunks said like 10 words during that whole thing but his presence alone gave an entire damn lecture to everyone who was watching. He's the living, breathing definition of "less talk, more Ws."
You know what they call him?
🥷s call him The Drink

“This is why Future Trunks is my all time fav db character”
Because it all comes down to the fact that when he first shows up and his backstory, his character building during the android & cell saga, and then also as much as some db fans don’t like the goku black arc I’ma be honest it was that arc that I started watching Dragon ball super more and actually being more interested in the story as well, of the series going forward.
And watchu mean trunks is HIM!!!
Goku black arc was the only super arc I watched lmao just for trunks
THEY CALL HIM THE WHAT!!! ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
Of course Vegeta wasn't training he was going great ape inside of Bulma
😅, he was training in 300x gravity he just couldn't achieve super saiyan to take in frieza and he knew that
He is the Drink.
4:40 nah I forgot he did that 🤣
King cold built different, living up to his name
I don't want to know about his other relationships 💀
That attack that trunks did was never had a name in the manga nor anime but the games gave it the name "burning attack"
6:04 You know Trunks don't play that, Cold would've never had time
THEY CALL HIM THE DRINK!!!🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥
@user-fs9pm4cu3o A BEVERAGE OF SORTS!!!🗣🔥🔥🔥
@Perfect_cell9000MY SON IS THE DRINK
He truly is The Drink
0:11 Nappa?!Your ass was DEAD don't try and play it
So we not going to talk about how the size of the sword change when cold is holding it
It's proportions, I think.
King cold is huge though
This whole episode is exactly how I got into dbz. I was hooked after. Even watched all the old episodes as a kid to catch up
I miss the villains that couldn’t regenerate. When they got a hole put through them, you knew they took real damage. The cell, boo, etc, type enemies got kind of old IMO.
I’ve thought that too. I never thought that anybody else thought that too.
And the world will never know what final form King Cold would look like, Trunks ended his whole career 😂
King Cold in his final form was stronger than Kaioshin, but seeing as how Cold is extremely old (old enough to have been around during Majin Buu's original rampage), his body is no longer capable of containing his full power without killing him. Thus he remains in his 'second form'.
6:07 “I think king Cole is in his final form already haha”
Thats why 🥷's call him the drink
Well, Trunks is Vegetas son and you can tell by how cold he can be when hes fading someone.
When the drink appeared
YOOO, it's the Drink!
That was King Cold's final form. He doesn't have transformations like Frieza. Frieza is built different. He's a mutant. His "final" form is actually his base, but he had to create his other forms to restrict his power. His second form looking like King Cold is presumably an homage to his dad. Frieza's transformations are actually him untransforming back into his base. Golden was his first real powerup transformation.
King Cold was weaker than Captain Ginyu, which is why Frieza called the Ginyu Force to help him on Namek and not his dad. Frieza also told Goku that Ginyu was the 2nd strongest in the universe, which means King Cold is much weaker than Ginyu. Even Cui and Appule are vastly stronger than King Cold, which is why Frieza would rather employ them in his army than his weak father who has no attacks. King Cold had to step down and give Frieza the position because he was afraid he was going to get overthrown by King Vegeta, who's power level was less than 10,000, which means King Cold's power level is only probably comparable to Mr. Satan (but probably much weaker, because at least Mr Satan survived an attack from Cell and he actually punches and kicks, unlike Cold who has neither ki attacks nor is able to punch or kick. If he could punch and kick, he would have done so against Trunks).
It's true, Toriyama literally confirmed it in issues 579, verse 11:19 of the Holy Daizenshuu.
@@N.i.E.M.O i know yo ass a troll, but just because i know other people in this community are dumb enough to believe you, i feel the need to point out that king cold was stated multiple times to be as strong as frieza. he was actually called a "Second frieza" he's that strong in just his second (or by some implications first) form.
And all of frieza's family are mutants, this includes king cold. frieza was a mutant among mutants because he also has high potential which is something not implied for king cold, and if anything the opposite is implied.
HOWEVER based on some statements in french guidebooks you could say cold was stronger than frieza even was (this would be the implication that cold would of been stronger than frieza if he transformed) a suppressed mecha frieza is also stated as somewhat weaker than cold in the anime, though gohan mentions frieza's power can go much higher than his current level of suppression, it's unclear if cold was also suppressing himself in his form.
Point is, be it weaker or stronger than frieza, cold is DEFINIATELY around frieza's level. cold NEVER feared vegeta and thought nothing of him or the saiyans. it was frieza who feared the saiyans and feared king vegeta overthrowing him. even in this video you can see it's frieza who's afraid of super saiyans, not king cold.
Cold may be able to transform as well, as in the dragon book it is stated that he appears to be the sort who could transform. and toriyama makes 0 statements on king cold other than only he and frieza have that level of abnormal power.
In summary stop trolling on the internet and get a life, this community has enough brain dead people in it as is without trolls spreading misinformation because they think it's funny.
@@prodecks6654
Relax buddy. I agree with you all the way. I was trying to mock all the people who go around proclaiming King Cold to be some chump jobber who could have been taken out by Raditz just because he let Frieza be in charge.
I already know full-well that King Cold is stated in the manga to be at Frieza's level, with the anime specifically declaring him to be **much** stronger than Frieza (not to mention supplementary material such as T3 stating him to be more powerful than both Frieza *and* Cooler).
I feel that King Cold in his 'second form' was already stronger than 'final form Frieza', which is evidenced by his confidence that he could take on someone who defeated his son. That would also mean that a 'final form King Cold' would logically be (if we are to take Frieza's transformation multipliers at heart) between Perfect Cell and 'Super' Perfect Cell level. This would essentially make him more powerful than even Supreme Kai - which checks out, as King Cold only ever warned Frieza about messing with Majin Buu and Beerus, which would be the only two beings that Cold would have known about which would exceeded a power beyond his maximum.
As for why Cold never bothered to transform against Trunks, it would make sense that Cold is simply too old to be able to utilize his full power anymore. Just like DBZ-era Frieza, Cold stays in a suppressed state to reserve his power. But unlike Frieza, who reserved his power due to inexperience and youth, King Cold suppresses himself because his body is too old to contain that level of power anymore. After all, he may be old enough to have witnessed the original rampage of Majin Buu. That makes him pretty damn old.
@@N.i.E.M.O He didn't transform because after the sword part trunks ended it too fast.
He was probably starting to say wait and let me transform first before boom.
@@TheIrishRushin
It's a cool and popular fan theory, but if we judge the scene by the rest of the series, and Toriyama's writing tropes, there has been almost zero instances of a character being unable to show off their full power (if they had the capability of doing so) at some point. I mean, when Frieza first told us he had four different forms, we *knew* we were going to see all of them. When Frieza said he wasn't using his full power, we *knew* Goku wasn't going defeat him until we saw Frieza's full power. Then there's Cell. We *knew* he was going to achieve his Perfect Form long before he ever actually did, because it's been set up.
In DB, if something about a particular character or ability is set up, it *will* have a payoff. Granted, that payoff may be really lame - such as in the very case with King Cold, who is set up to be an even more powerful foe than Frieza (according to the anime at least), but is taken out just as easily as Frieza was.
Mann! I kept rewatching this episode it was so fire!! Man! Now I gotta go watch it again! Thanks my man!
Trunks sliced up Frieza and turned the remains into pringle dust.
Trunks always made sure the job was finished.
1:53 Bro Trunks had Freeza suffering from the *Prowler meme* before the prowler theme even existed!
Vegeta was not training because he was making trunks😂
def my fav character of dbz he gets right 2 business and handles business
This is by far the funniest commentary video about Dragonball z ever on UA-cam.
This is why we call him The Drink.
That burning flash attack is goated idc how long it took to get off
3:30 Bro really put flight there and think we wouldn't notice 😂😂
2:25 completely the canon truth too, its how when he Actually started training he was able to get to gold and eventually black
0:48 ain’t putting in no pain 😂😂😂😂
I’m in fucking tears😭😭😭😭
We're gon need Cooler stepping up in here to bring some redemption to his fam like damn, he even disrespected Goku so hard he didn't even throw hands, he threw Kakarots like there aint no tomorrow
They'll need to give Cooler way more power than he originally had, Goku wiped him out without an issue when he turned into a Super Saiyan yet Frieza was able to last longer and even trade blows with Goku before he "finished" him... pause
@@lcjetton in the movie timeline I think it’s implied he’s slightly stronger than frieza saga assuming it takes place during the timeskip of the android Saga
@@godspeedredeicieli4384 Cooler was actually WEAKER than Frieza because he was simply born with less power, and in order to compensate, he constantly stays in his fourth form, and it is believed that spending essentially his whole life in that fourth form gave him access to the 'fifth form' (which was slightly stronger than 100% fourth form Frieza), in essence, he was straining but he wasn't training. King Cold however rivalled Frieza's final form with just his second form but lacked the potential or motivation to go beyond. He was basically sitting on his ass more than his son was at this point and likely lost any capacity to further transform. And all this was likely why he never really cared about his sons. King Cold had been a mutant in his own species, and Cold had been the one to actually expand his organisation with his sheer power, but after stepping down he realised neither of his sons were going to ever really be as powerful as he once was, simply resorting to coddling 'the stronger one'.
It could be argued that King Cold's power might be a result of the massive expansion of his empire actually requiring effort on his part (thus, 'training') and the only reason Frieza was not as strong was because he was basically handed everything he could have ever wanted, he never actually pushed himself until Namek (I believe it was implied that Frieza only ever had to transform into his second form before Namek).
If we're going into non-canon, Lord Chilled was deleted by a 50~ million SSJ Bardock, and that was in his 'first form', which implies that first form Chilled was anywhere between 4-40 million if we assume that Bardock had gone from 220k to 1 million after his 'death'. The Cold Family is actually getting weaker (only considering power level from birth) with every generation, simply compensating for that fact with new and further transformations.
@@willvan7685 you know all of that is bullshit lol friezas forms are actually limiters that make him weaker rather than actual forms. His natural state is his final form
Cooler was actually not as powerful as either Mecha-Frieza nor King Cold.
The Cooler movie actually takes place in an alternate timeline in which Goku defeated Frieza quickly enough that he was able to escape Namek on the ship with Gohan and Piccolo. This is why in the movie, Goku does not know Instant Transmission, nor can he transform into a SSJ at will. The movie actually takes place *before* Mecha-Frieza and King Cold show up, which also explains why Cooler does not mention trying to avenge Cold.
To further back this up, the movie literally released whilst the original anime was still in the middle of the Frieza vs SSJ Goku fight on Namek.
People placing the movie after the arrival of Trunks (which are most people) are mistaken.

how kind of codenamesuper to show the christian version of frieza's dismemberment and incineration. im so glad i can now show this wholesome content to my 8 children in kindergarten 🥰🥰🥰
I was born at the right time, seeing this without exposure to the internet truly made moments like this magical.
Dude, my jaw literally dropped frist time watching when Trunks decided he was done playing around and just sliced Frieza in half, then to little pieces. So quick and efficient! Shit was so fantastic!

THANK YOU.
I always talked about how Trunks is the best, he’s an S tier character
Trunks would be my favorite DBZ character if he didn't get consistently washed up until he went back to the future. Bro has two(2) cool moments and they're at his introduction and exit from the series (until super where, you guessed it, more washing. You'd think this man was laundry the way he be getting washed all the time, he truly is his father's son)
That’s facts, not enough people talk about how after his intro he consistently gets hoed
bro got hoed more than a farm during the dust bowl fr
God, finally someone says it.
Trunks is a swell guy, but the series just does not let him be cool!
Must be the Vegeta L genes
I always wish that theGoku black arc was just purely about trunks, non of that time traveling to get help, just trunks trying to figure out how to defeat black on his own without relying on Goku or vegeta
What if he found the ultrasupermegax9001 hyperbolic timechamber. He can train with anyone that has ever existed and learn lssj5 with 9001 times kiaoken and supermegaultraextremeinstinct X 5.
And then he just one shots black and powers up so much he also vaporises immortal zamasu?
Or he could possibly have found the dragon balls else with the help of bulma and fixed a lot that happened in his time line, but you know I'm just crazy for saying that and I'd really see the first thing happening over the 2nd, either way everyone in the future gets done dirty. Gohan should've decimated the androids already anyways, keeping the series logic.
And it's only downhill from there. They just got done dirty.
A BEVERAGE OF SORTS???? 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
Future Trunks, before DRAGON BALL SUPER, is my favorite character in the DRAGON BALL franchise. He is by far the most developed character in DRAGON BALL Z. He had a bona fide hero's journey.
Bro was 5 feet in his debut and 6 feet by the end of the arc
3:26 bruh I was a huge trunks fan after that too but I switched to vegeta after realizing he only had one master
The drink himself
1:43 that Vegeta voice though🤣👌
is that....The drink!?
4:00 Either Trunks a crip, or thats his way of generating ki, since gohan never taught him to
When Trunks was transforming and Frieza saw Goku that shit looked like Goku in the prowler meme 😂😂
Trunks comes from the Real Original timeline. His coming back to the past creates Our timeline. Always remember this. 😅
The drink will forever be my favorite dragon ball character
I love how this was the high point of Trunks fighting career before he began to get the Vegeta treatment
funny enough there has been no encounter between the two since this.
I would pay to see them cross paths again lool
The Drink is him liquidity personified
Vegeta:You are lucky you got my blessing for testosterone.
Trunks only got 2 business days to be my Fav.
And succeeded
Trunks intro was amazing! After meeting Goku and going Super Saiyan it was all down hill from there.
How can Toriyama dislike Vegeta so much while seemingly, and simultaneously, liking Trunks so much? 😔
1:46 had me dying!
Lmao, hell yeah! 🤣
He did NOT have to do vegeta like that. 😂
They call him The Drink.
