Even after the death of legendary Akira Toriyama, theDragon Ballfranchise still breathes fresh air. While it is certainly heart-wrenching, at the same time, people are also excited about the future of this beloved series. Quite surprisingly, Toriyama’s chosen successor and illustrator, Toyotarou, had recently hinted at an unexplored avenue in theDragon Balluniverse.

A revealing interview with the officialDragon Ballwebsite from 2023 came out, saying one of the ideas that had crossed Toyotarou’s mind was a spinoff show featuring the current young Trunks. This has gotten fans excited and placed questions in their minds about whether this is the new course for the future, or a long-hidden secret within the series.

Fans Might Get to See Trunks as a Teenage High-Schooler!

With Toyotarou handling the series now,Dragon Ballreaders could soon witness the character of Trunks in a rather unknown, unusual version, dressed as a high school teenager! This is becauseToyotarou appears to appreciatethe light-hearted, comedic Saiyaman arc from the original series. By showing how Trunks navigates life day to day, Toyotarou could then inject that slice-of-life flavor into the series.

A Trunks-centric spin-off would probably delve into the adventures of this young warrior between his student days, multiplied with all the problems that come with it. But his incredible abilities will also be there. This could indeed be quite an interesting combination of action, comedy, and coming-of-age situations.

However, reactions toDragon Ball Super’sSaiyaman arc have been mixed; where some fans just want more epic battles and significant storytelling. A spin-off strictly on Trunks’ high school shenanigans could bring much skepticism for this very reason. On the other hand, there is also a pretty good chance that Toyotarou’s passion project could catch critics off guard and bring in some new viewers wanting something more laid-back and character-focused.

This Might Be The Best Chance For The Trunks Spinoff Adaptation

The long-held spin-off concept of Trunks has gotten a second chance, and this could be an opportune moment for its revival. If Toyotarou converts this content from the manga to the Super Hero adaptation, this shall easily revive the franchise and offer fans a new perspective on Trunks’ story. In doing this, the spin-off will be independent and able to stand alone without being tied to theDragon Ball Superstoryline.

ForDragon Ballfans, now is the ideal time to bring this spin-off to life. The momentum from Toyotarou’s initial concept, combined with the flexibility of the Super Hero series, creates a prime opportunity for further exploration into the series.

By embracing this direction, one can gather immense nostalgia and curiosity around Trunks’ character, wanting him to do something unique and really engaging. As a result, it would also expand theDragon Balluniverse as a whole. The possibly is certainly there, will Toyotarou take the chance to make the Trunks spin-off a reality?
