Editing Future Trunks (section)

===Background===
In Age 766, Trunks was born into an alternate timeline plagued by devastation. This future was marred by the relentless tyranny of Androids 17 and 18, who had decimated over three-fourths of Earth's population before Trunks' introduction. This grim reality unfolded due to Goku's death from a heart virus six months prior to the Androids' arrival, leaving the Z Fighters without their strongest warrior. The Androids easily surpassed the remaining Z Fighters, including Vegeta, who were unable to be revived using the Dragon Balls after Piccolo's death eliminated Kami.

Raised in this bleak era, Trunks found guidance and mentorship from the last remaining Z Fighter, Future Gohan. Gohan trained Trunks extensively, imparting both combat skills and swordsmanship, essential for facing the Androids' superior power. Despite Gohan's efforts to teach Trunks to achieve Super Saiyan status, Trunks initially struggled to transform due to his inability to connect with the profound sadness and loss required to trigger the transformation (though in the manga, he had already achieved this form).

At the age of 14, during a battle at Super World amusement park, Trunks and Gohan confronted the Androids in a desperate struggle. Inexperienced and overwhelmed, Trunks was nearly defeated by Android 18, prompting Gohan to sacrifice himself to save Trunks, losing an arm in the process. This sacrifice deeply affected Trunks, shattering his confidence and further complicating his journey to harness his latent potential as a Super Saiyan.

In Age 780, Trunks and Gohan found themselves once again thrust into battle against the Androids. Recognizing the dire threat they faced, Gohan made a heartbreaking decision to knock Trunks unconscious to prevent him from facing certain death. Despite Gohan's valiant effort at Pepper Town, where he initially held his own against the Androids individually (in the anime), he was ultimately overwhelmed by their combined strength and limitless energy reserves. Tragically, Gohan was defeated and killed before Trunks regained consciousness and found his mentor's lifeless body in the rain.

Filled with a potent mix of anger and grief over Gohan's death, Trunks finally tapped into his latent potential and achieved the Super Saiyan transformation. However, despite his newfound power, Trunks continued to struggle in his ongoing battles against the Androids over the next few years, driven by a relentless desire to avenge his fallen comrades.

By Age 783, after narrowly escaping another deadly encounter at Bridgetown, Future Bulma revealed her Time Machine to Trunks. She implored him to use it to travel back to the past, aiming to alter history by preventing Goku's death from the heart virus. In this bleak future, Trunks had never known his father, Vegeta, who had been killed by the Androids when Trunks was still an infant. This revelation underscored Trunks' determination to change the course of history and save his world from its nightmarish fate.
