He understands that he lives in a world of shit that might eventually reveal something else that Gero left as a backup plan in case Cell failed.

He's also lucky, seeing how late Babidi and Dabra showed up in bad future.

To think, if only they had shown up on time Dabra would've wrecked both Androids and saved the Earth...before they ended up destroying it anyway.

At that point, it would've basically been a rock with no merit or value to them. They might have just left, because Babidi would probably prioritize ressing Buu before leaving a trail of destroyed planets that the Supreme Kai can use to track him and his progress.

I could see him continuing to train even if he wasn't wary enough a guardian to do so just in case something worse came along - which given his personality I could believe he was.

The most powerful form he had access too had glaring flaws that made it incredibly ineffective. If he even so much as wanted to be able to adequately utilize his full potential, no matter whether he thought it would be necessary, he would have needed to train or improve to remove those flaws - hence, SS 2.

Also, his wording in the epsidoe gave me the impression that for some reason Supreme Kai contacted him about Babidi before the threat actually surfaced, where he didn't in our heroes' timeline.

Less people around, so he saw less of a reason to hide and jumped straight to tell Trunks what was going down I suppose.

There also wouldn't have been a tournament to scope out fighters. Trunks was the last notable fighter left on the planet.

Notable, I wouldn't say that. The Androids probably didn't even leave Blooma's home city.

Umm, the Androids are confirmed to have annihilated many cities across Future Trunk's Earth. You think they didn't even get around to destroying one in nearly 20 years?

(^~^): Yeah, because they're so incompetent. They couldn't even kill the 6th weakest Z-fighter with combined efforts.

(`-`): It's obvious that they destroyed more than that, because they were released from some random mountain side...they could've started anywhere.

I know they Androids destroyed more than Blooma's home city because they could've started their genocide anywhere.

No, the nonsense before that. They literally killed all of the "Z-Fighters" except Goku (who would have also died to them anyway).

You mean the guy they were purposefully toying with because they had no reason to kill him? When he went back to the future for the then last time, Lapis states that he hadn't been using even half of his power against him. Also, how was Trunks the sixth weakest of the group? He was a Super Saiyan which put him leagues above everyone except Goku and Gohan and he seemed to be about as strong as Goku was.

Okay, 8th weakest...and I get the purposely toying thing, but he didn't even die from a point blank range blast. As a weakened non-Super, thas pretty weak.

We never see that fight (or any fights between Trunks and/or Future Gohan vs the Androids, for that matter, aside from the last one) in the manga.

One of 3 full pages of DBF info from V-Jump appeared.

Info we didn't know before:

  • You can battle with your friends and trade warriors.
  • Each character has a rank, which is important for EX Fusions.
  • The opening theme will be performed by Tadayoshi Tanimoto (Yeah Break Care Break) and Yuka Uchiyae (a bunch of Pre-Cure songs).

Also, the main DBF website posted a battle system page.

Here's what's said, translations by Alakazam:

Battle System

The battle stage is the area inside the white line

In case of a ringout, your added damage and time of action will be canceled, so you need to be careful!

A team battle of up to 5 vs 5

Be certain of your enemies' positions and choose your commands. There are several commands such as special attacks that support your allies, powerful special attacks that can hit all your enemies at once and others.

In a Zenkai (Full-throttle) Rush, you input button combinations to make the rush start.

It's the new "sensations battle", where action and commands are fused!

Command Battle

Take notice at the different commands such as "Hand-to-hand", "Ki blasts", etc! Battle start!

Freely use each characters' various special attacks and skills in order to win!

By using the special attacks "Roundup Range Attack" or "Knock Down", deal great damage to your enemy and aim for a ringout!

Scout your enemy!

Weakening your enemy is the chance for scouting them! Set up a Zenkai (Full-throttle) Attack and show your strength. If you succeed, the enemy will become your ally!

Collect allies and fuse even further!

Didn't Gohan barely keep up with Dabura by going Super Saiyan? How would he wreck both all three Androids? They work considerably well together, and 17 at least has an energy barrier - Dabura might nab one of them with his spit, but still.

The Androids specifically didn't kill Trunks because, as they point out, killing him would mean that they don't have anyone to beat up for fun anymore. Trunks is the last person with power anywhere near approaching theirs.

Dabra is roughly equal to Cell, as said by Goku, so here's that I guess. As usual, fans will fight over the translation but his mystical abilities would certainly help.
