Short answer: no. Not even remotely close.

That's also a possibility but the art doesn't make it look that bad in most panels.
But that idea is still one I liked, even if the idea didn't reflect it. Before we got my U6 roster my idea was for the female Saiyans to be different from our Saiyans because they stuck to the graded forms, and instead found a way to better distribute the muscle mass in Grade III so that they became taller and more balanced.
I knew that had 0% chance of becoming real, I just had fun thinking of how I would have done it. Still prefer my idea honestly
Although I'm not surprised the whole "no Freeza / Saiyan homeworld still around" backstory I had turned out the same.

Well do make note, whenever we've had really muscular characters, they were also huge in stature compared to everyone else; the muscles didn't look so out of place on them because of that. With Trunks, and with Perfect Cell when he showed off the same thing, their bodies didn't really grow that much compared to the massive growth in muscles/the muscles looked out of proportion compared to the character. Like, compare the muscles of say, Recoome or Nappa, with the muscles of Power-Weighted Cell; by that point it was just ridiculous.
Let's see if you can get past my Beelzemon. Mephiles, WARP SHINKA!I dunno, Trunks' muscles just aren't that big in Grade III. It's probably just for aesthetics so he still looks good, but he could have afforded to be a lot less proportionate.
Oh yeah, and Cell actually did increase in size when he used his power weighted form against Gohan. He immediately got his ass handed to him, though, so we don't know if he still had the speed problem or what (however Trunks says he's making that mistake).
Basically life energy. The quantity and quality of your ki only depends on itself, essentially. You can be born with large amounts of it, have great potential for it, refine it, control it, increase it, but it's not dependent on your size.

x4 Not that big? His muscles were obscenely large. [1]
He'd be a bodybuilder with a build like that in real life.
It's not to the point where it looks ridiculous in a bad way, he's sayin'.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.So you're saying that would be an obtainable build in real life.
Which makes it fall well short of something that would be extreme in Dragon Ball.
Being ridiculous in real life doesn't make it any less ridiculous in fiction-land.
I see big biceps and legceps body-build guy...possibly on steroids, Trunks' muscles do not compare.

Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Oh absolutely. There are people out there with 1% body fat. Trunks doesn't even compare.
His USSJ muscles are still insane though.
And speaking of Trunks, do you think he'll be back with a new form? SSJ 2 perhaps?
I think I'm going to be disappointed either way. If he shows up and he's not powerful, it makes you wonder what the point of him being there is going to be. If he shows up and he IS powerful, it's going to look even more like a bad fanfic.
He shouldn't be significantly more powerful...unless the events of Shin Budokai happens, it wouldn't make sense.
If the Majin Buu stuffs happens, he should be dead.
There's no win.
That's possible, he's almost can reach that form anyway.

Luckily for Trunks, since all of the Z-Fighters (except for Roshi) were killed, Babidi would probably not come to Earth seeking energy for Majin Buu. And even if he did, he wouldn't be able to gather enough energy for Buu, and Trunks would probably end up killing Babidi anyway.
However, Beerus and Whis coming is up in the air really.
I think SSJ 2 is the perfect sweet spot for Trunks.

It'd take longer since there are less humans in general.
But Trunks is basically a free energy boost. Dabura being there wouldn't be effected by events...he's Cell strong.

Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.True. Hopefully Trunks ascended to SSJ 2 then (and hopefully his form is as strong as the one Gohan used against Cell).
The boost to Ssj 2 would put him way above Perfect Cell...by extension Dabura.

But wouldn't being bigger mean having more ki?
what do you mean I didn't win, I ate more wet t-shirts than anyone else
