Personality
Trunks (トランクス Torankusu) is the Earthling and Saiyan hybrid son of Bulma and Vegeta, and the older brother of Bulla.
Ten years pass after Kid Buu’s defeat, 18-year-old Trunks has a new younger sister named Bulla. He is forced by Vegeta to compete in the 28th World Martial Arts Tournament. Although in the original Japanese dialogue, there is no mention of a girlfriend by Trunks, in the Funimation dub, Trunks promises Goten that he would introduce him to his girlfriend after the tournament (of which his girlfriend is also watching).
He ends up being paired up with Otokosuki, who manages to startle Trunks by visually flirting with him. Trunks is not seen competing in this tournament, due to Goku and Uub’s leaving the competition at the end of the series. He is seen, however, holding Pan’s arm in victory over defeating Goten.

Five years later, Trunks is now 23 years old. Trunks has become the President of Capsule Corporation. Although it pays quite well (so well that he can afford his own chauffeur and servants), he does not like the job and its overwhelming responsibilities, and will often slip out the window and fly away. Forced by Vegeta, who thinks that Trunks has grown soft during the time of peace after Kid Buu’s defeat, Trunks goes on a journey with Goku and Pan (who replaced Goten after sneaking aboard) in a spaceship designed by Bulma in order to find the Black Star Dragon Balls.
Later, a piece of the ship falls off and Goku, Trunks, and Pan are forced to crash land on the planet Imecka to get the parts needed to repair the ship. Groups of merchants then swarm Trunks and the others to the point that they take refuge from them in the Gold Star Hotel. They then realize they are being charged every second for everything in the hotel. They escape without paying and stumble upon the house of an old couple and their children.
They talk about Don Kee the ruler of the planet and how he mistreats his rule; just then his men came and repossessed the old couple’s house saying they were behind payment. Goku suggests that they go and fight Don Kee but the couple says that is impossible because of his grand army.
On their way back to the ship Trunks drops the Dragon Radar and it is swallowed by the small T-2006 series robot nicknamed Giru who says that he can not give the radar back to them because it is already integrated into his system. Trunks becomes furious and starts chasing after Giru.
Meanwhile, Goku notices the ship being dragged away by Don Kee’s men. He tries to use Instant Transmission to teleport them to the ship but after two failed attempts realizes that he can not use it in his small body.
They are forced to travel to Don Kee’s palace on foot to recover their ship. Pan decides that they will use a stealth operation to recover the ship and would only result to fighting as a last resort
. After briefly sneaking around, a large rock falls on Trunks’ head and Giru starts making noises that alarm the guards. The guards open fire on the group. Pan jumps in the carrying car while Goku moves the ship onto the car, and Pan drives the ship out of the palace with Goku and Trunks.
But while escaping, Don Kee’s henchmen Gale and Sheela fire a combined Energy Wave at Goku, who deflects it back with ease towards Ledgic, Don Kee’s right-hand man, who recognizes them as Saiyans.
