Trunks, the half-Saiyan, half-human son of Vegeta and Bulma, serves as the older brother to Bulla in the present timeline. He possesses lavender or blue hair (depending on the media), blue eyes, facial features reminiscent of Vegeta, and tanned skin. His personality blends Vegeta's competitiveness and pride with Bulma's intelligence and occasional crassness, tempered by a peaceful upbringing that makes him more laid-back and less serious than his future self. He demonstrates tactical thinking but exhibits cockiness and arrogance, particularly in combat. Two years after Kid Buu's defeat, Trunks attends a banquet at Mr. Satan's new hotel with family and allies. When Vegeta's exiled brother Tarble arrives seeking help against alien invaders Abo and Kado, a selection process determines the combatants. Pressured by Vegeta, Trunks pulls an exceptionally long radish from Goku's garden, securing his role alongside Goten. This act highlights his desire to impress his father and embrace challenges. During the battle, Trunks and Goten initially overpower Abo and Kado but falter when the aliens create duplicates. Unable to sense ki effectively, they rely on Gohan's guidance to identify the real enemies, showcasing Trunks' reliance on allies despite his confidence. After Abo and Kado fuse into the stronger Aka, Trunks and Goten attempt the Fusion Dance, failing once before successfully becoming Gotenks. As Gotenks, they defeat Aka using combined techniques like the Wolf Fang Fist and Dynamite Rolling Thunder Punch. However, their reckless showmanship allows Aka to retaliate, destroying the hotel and forcing Goku and Vegeta to intervene. Trunks wields standard Saiyan abilities: flight, superhuman strength, and energy projection. He can transform into a Super Saiyan and fuse with Goten via the Fusion Dance, though their coordination appears rusty in this OVA due to infrequent use. His fighting style often incorporates techniques observed from other Z Fighters. Beyond this OVA, Trunks trains under Vegeta and maintains a close rivalry with Goten. His relationship with Vegeta involves admiration mixed with fear of disappointment. Though spoiled by Capsule Corporation wealth, he prefers combat over inheriting the family business. His tactical acumen surfaces in other sagas, such as deceiving Dr. Myuu's forces during the Baby Saga in *Dragon Ball GT*. This OVA reinforces Trunks' role as a spirited, still-developing warrior driven by familial loyalty and a desire to prove himself, traits consistent across his appearances in films, *Dragon Ball Super*, and spin-offs.
