It literally has to bee in that order for it to make sense.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.The funny thing is Trunks was so proud about reaching SS 2 up until Goku showed him how much stronger he has gotten.
Wow.
I'm still surprised Babidi bothered with Earth since Trunks was literally the only person on the planet strong enough to give him what he needed.
Trunks reaching SSJ 2 makes sense because he knew it existed, and the Supreme Kai gave him the kind of training he needed to make it happen....
Wait until he finds out about the Old Kai, the Mystic Power up and Beerus. He's still got a few ways to get stronger.
How long did it take for Trunks to realize he was dealing with the real Goku instead of Black?
One Strip! One Strip!If you consider Grade II the middle ground between Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan 2, then he was already pretty close.
More to the point, now we know for a fact that Gohan could have beaten Dabura if he'd both kept up his power and training, since Trunks flat out prevented Buu from being a thing.
One Strip! One Strip!
I suppose not. It just goes to show that the Buu saga never really needed to happen if someone had been a bit more serious (Goku and Vegeta taking the threat seriously, or Gohan maintaining his training at some point.
One Strip! One Strip!...
That depends on whether he has the same vast hidden potential as Gohan. He should as a half Saiyan, but I don't recall it ever being emphasized with him.
Wait until he finds out about SSJ 3...in fact, Future Trunks has quite a few options for getting more powerful at this point: Mystic, Super Saiyan God (if he just trains with Future Whis), Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan...thinking he could find King Kai and learn the Kaioken?
I wonder if you can combine all of those power ups together?
One Strip! One Strip!Carrot should immediately tell him that the form is useless when he's done screaming for 5 minutes.

Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.I mean, him getting the Mystic powerup would have just been a case of whether 1) Kaioshin decided to use the Z Sword, 2) Someone actually breaks it and 3) Whether the Elder Kaioshin actually decided to help them. There's no Goku to casually sell off Bulma to the old pervert.
The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!If Buu was never a thing, then there was no need for the Z Sword, without need for the Z Sword, they'll never be in a position in which it might possibly be broken.
So the only way Elder Kaioshin will be released in Trunks' future is if the 'present' folks tell Trunks about it and when he goes back to his time he deliberately breaks the Z sword (which should prove difficult at the very least, given that he should be barely able to lift it).
himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariYeah, but Gohan was able to lift it eventually, and if trunks is in that same ballpark or more (he might be as strong as Gohan was when he beat Cell as opposed to his later level in the Buu saga), he'd be able to pull it out as well.
One Strip! One Strip!

Trunks apparently both beat Dabura and trained with the Supreme Kai (not necessarily in that order tho')
