History Recap / DragonBallZAbridgedM8

* OurMottoSucks: "Hello and welcome to Super World. Slogan pending."

* BadFuture: Most of the Z-Fighters are dead, leaving next-to-no opposition to the destructive Cyborgs. [[WeHaveBecomeComplacent Not that anyone cares]].

Just as 17 is about to have a HeelRealization regarding all his atrocities and considers becoming a park ranger, Gohan kicks him through a building which makes the cyborg decides to kill everyone on the planet. Gohan eventually decides to make his LastStand against the androids only for him to fail and [[TheHeroDies dies]]. Moments later, Trunks attempt to scour the city for his master only to find him dead...Enraged, Trunks makes a SkywardScream and turns into Super Saiyan for the first time.

3 years later, Trunks and Bulma are just about to make a time machine that allows Trunks to travel into the past and prevent the BadFuture from happening. Upon hearing the news that the cyborgs are attacking another city, Trunks recklessly decides to fight them, against Bulma's warnings. Predictably, he gets [[CurbStompBattle stomped to the ground by them]], only surviving because 18 unintentionally took the blast from 17 in order to finish him off.

Returning home with Gohan in company, Trunks desperately wishes to be Gohan's pupil. Gohan accepts on the condition that Trunks addresses him as [[CallBack Mr.Gohan]]. Happy to be Gohan's student, Trunks invite Gohan to dinner where Bulma makes them food. When Bulma pointed out at how Gohan looks a lot like his father, [[ParentalNeglect he is visibly upset at it, with the Gi being the only remainder of him]].

!!Tropes:

[[TheStinger After the credit ends]], we see Oolong, Puar, and Roshi survive thanks to the turtle hermit's submarine, USS M'dick. Unfortunately, it isn't a comfortable one no thanks to Roshi's innuendo such as how he is holding on to "it" for 17 years. Puar remarks that they're going to die in the sub.

* ActionFilmQuietDramaScene: Trunks finding Gohan's corpse and [[TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening turning into a Super Sayian]], which is played depressingly straight and entirely devoid of humor.

Thankfully, Bulma somehow managed to find Trunks and heals him back to full health for a few months before he is ready to return back to the past and meet the histories greatest heroes (In which the heroes are either an IdiotHero and a [[ParentalNeglect terrible father]] or {{Jerkass}} and a AbusiveParent). With the cholesterol medication in hand, Trunks leaves the current timeline to head to the past and turn the world into a cyborg free world...

Over the next few weeks, Gohan would begin training Trunks in the art of dodging his attacks, only for Trunks to stumble into the whir'pool, with a frustrated Gohan [[ForgotAboutHisPowers reminding Trunks that he can fly]]. After getting out of the ocean, they converse about their own parents including how Gohan looks up to Piccolo as his true father and what Trunk's father looks like (When recounting it, it is a scene of [[WouldHurtAChild Vegeta]] beating up a young Gohan, who tries to defend his father's honor). However, when it comes to Gohan's real parents, he virtually abandoned both of them to the point that we see that [[TearJerker Chi-Chi is depressed]] and suffers from a MadnessMantra on how she wished that her own son either talks to her or become a grandmother.

With Trunks as the narrator of this special, the scene begins with Gohan finding out that [[KilledOffForReal Goku is dead for good]] as a result of a heart disease with every single Z-fighter including Vegeta himself mourning for him...for 6 months before the [[InsistentTerminology cyborgs]] kills off all of the Z-fighters from Piccolo, Vegeta, Tien, and even Krillin; leaving the fate of the earth with only Gohan and Trunks as the survivors.

After obtaining the antidote for the heart attack, Trunks leaves the timeline to head to the past and turn the world into a cyborg free world...

* DisposableFiance: Parodied. Not only is Wombat's fiancé killed off less than 30 second after being mentioned, he jokes about it.

Fast forward 13 years into the story, and humanity ([[AndYourLittleDogToo and country music]]) continues to become slowly wiped out by the androids with every single of the [[ApatheticCitizens citizens being apathetic about it]] (with the radio even making a joke about his own wife being killed there). Trunks arrive against Bulma's instructions only for him to stumble upon a deserted city, however fortunately, he managed to meet up with the hero of his timeline; Future Gohan.

* NoodleIncident: Trunks once offhandedly mentioned obtaining his sword from Tapion. He merely stated that it's a long story.

* ApatheticCitizens: Even after thirteen long years of the Androis/Cyborgs killing cities and towns across the world, no one is trying to develop technology to stop them in any form. People continue with their everyday lives like nothing is wrong and only panic when they attack the city they are currently in. One guy who runs a roller coaster at an amusement park ''doesn't even recognize them when they jump in line to the front car''. In fact, the radio personalities even casually joke about how a city is not only destroyed but also states that Wombat is now single, ''with no mourning whatsoever''.

Trunk's attempt to turn Super Saiyan out of anger fails to the point that at "Piccolo's" suggestion, Trunks accompanies Gohan to the battlefield the next day, with what the cyborgs having destroyed an amusement park (And once again, the citizens being apathetic about them). At first, Gohan managed to overwhelm 17 only for 18 to join the battle and
