Not many weapons are used in the universe of Dragon ballHowever, we can certainly remember Trunks’ sword that accompanied the boy of the future from his first appearance.
Starting from the Majin Buu saga, we were able to observe the young man’s growth suitcase, Son of Vegeta and Bulma, until he discovers that after the events told in the manga he will open it with the help of Goths Kikoukenjutsu sword school. Even so, the origin of the sword that the young man possesses from the future is not clear in the androids’ narrative arc.
A film called The hero of the planet Conutstried to fill this gap by explaining how the boy received the so-called brave sword as a gift from the hero Tapion sealed in an ocarina. In the feature film, we also learn about the little Trunks’ interest in swords by watching him handle toy versions, a passion he will keep even as an adult if he decides to open his own school with Goten. The film, however it is not considered canonical Within the fandom of Akira Toriyama’s manga, for which this alleged origin remains a simple speculation, also because the Z-warriors in the future, from which the Saiyajins of the manga originate, were all defeated by the cyborgs, which makes the events told in the film impossible power.
The Dragon Ball Super Manga tells how the boy of the future came into possession of the Sword Z. which, however, was destroyed during the battle against Dabra that resulted in the death of Kaiohshin the Most High.
The Sword of Trunks doesn’t actually have any special abilities, but the warrior can use it to improve their fighting skills Let energy flow in in the same to increase power and speed. In Super, we see how this channeling of forces makes the weapon bigger.
The hardness of the blade it is another element of ambiguity. In Dragon Ball Z we see Freeza cut with extreme ease, but at the same time with the simplicity with which Goku manages to stop the weapon with just one finger. This could easily be explained by this The properties of the sword depend on the energy introduced by the userHowever, that doesn’t justify Android 18’s ability to stop the sword with a single arm.
The Weapon design it seems to change in every incarnation of the brand, which features a metal guard and black leather around the handle in the original series, and a silver guard and green handle in Super. It therefore seems that the young man always uses a different sword and emphasizes that it is not the blade that is special, but rather the way the warrior uses it.
What do you think of this sword What do you think its origins are? And where is its strength? Let us know in the comments.
