Name 5 personality traits of Future Trunks outside of his daddy issues. Go on, I'll wait.

Does that really matter? Db has always been more fight and to a lesser degree plot driven then it has been a character driven story

Polite, tend not to fuck around during the fight, plays with the opponent only when he sure that he has an upper hand.
I think that's all. We haven't seen him in a peaceful environment much.

Who cares? He's a Super Saiyan with a fucking sword.

don't forget hatred of andriods and love of Gohan

Doesn't excuse Future Trunks from being even more shallow than most DB characters.

You can literally just lump all of those traits into "he's a normal guy".

Pretty much. Which is unusual, considering the cast.

Which means he pretty much has little to no character.

This case can be made for the majority of a cast.

Those are normal traits but traits nontheless.

Normal traits don't give people any notable characteristics.

Not really. Most of the characters in DB have traits that distinguish them as their own individual. Trunks doesn't because nothing is distinguishable about his personality other than being normal.

They do in DB.

Being "normal" distinguishes him in cast of abnormal individuals. He's popular, get over it.

The thing is that Trunks is far more of a plot device than he is a character.

I think Trunks is interesting because he seems to have even less of a taste for fighting than Gohan does. Gohan can fuck around, but we have never actually seen Trunks enjoying fighting, he doesn't fuck around, he's literally only protagonist fighter in entirety of Dragon Ball who just wants to get the job done at any point of fight. And ironically, he's the one who gets the most impossible shit thrown at him. First it was editors, then Zamasu winning power creep race.

Normal is subjective user

Arguably but who cares? Not every character needs deep and intricate personality. People like Trunks because he's a Super Saiyan from the future. He's Bulma and Vegeta's son. Trained by Gohan. Wields a sword. Tragic backstory. On a mission. Strong sense of duty. Looks cool, mild personality, and is unsurprisingly considered attractive by women. And now he has qt rebel girlfriend. In sum, he works.

Thinking about it, what makes him likable is he is probably the most traditionally heroic character in the series. Which is funny given how many people still believe Goku is Japanese Superman.

Serious, tortured, cares about others (strong sense of duty) but still smart enough to see his own's world interest, doesn't fuck around, a bit stubborn, kinda timid, a nice guy overall who cares about everyone's feelings, probably felt weird but also genuinely happy to fight along the Z team and even befriending them for the little time he had with them.

Future Trunks is really fine as a character. The problem is that he didn't get to fight after beating Freeza.

Well hell, then you could say Trunks is not normal at all.

Or you could just say he's a plot device and leave it at that.

Name 5 personality traits of ANY DBZ/S character.

He's very polite for one. He's awkward and a bit of a fuckup. He's very emotional, probably the most out of the immediate cast and this leads to him making a lot of mistakes. He's also pretty damn pragmatic, will never take a chance for a better fight or something. Pretty much the opposite of Goku in every way. Still great character and would be a good MC for a spinoff.

Or you can just stop being a little bitch.

Loves to fight
Is dumb
Always hungry
Gets angry and yells a lot
Wants to become stronger

There we go.

Goku

>Kinda selfish
>Worldly
>Passionate
>Competitive
>Heroic

He's like the ultimate mary sue fanfic character.
>time-travelling son of Bulma and Vegeta
>can go super saiyan in his debut
>effortlessly rekt the big bad of the previous arc
>dark tragic past

Only thing missing is the forced amnesia.

He was introduced 26 years ago. The things people shit on now were in vogue then.

> Trunks
> Mary Sue

could the underage leave pls or at least stop using buzzwords?

If you put it that way, sure, but he's not executed like a Mary Sue. If anything he's more useless than anyone else in the story.

> polite
> didn't turn out like an edgelord, even though any other character in fiction would've done so with a background story like that
> takes fights seriously, and as such, he's a breath of fresh air from 90% of the main cast
> despite his past, he didn't turn out like a raging psycho, thirsting for Cyborg blood as evidenced when he let 18 run, after he's seen Kuririn caring for her and seeing that she's nowhere near as bad as her future counterpart
> was desperate for his father's attention, but when it became clear as day that Vegeta's inferiority complex and fighting boner will get all of them killed, he blasted him the fuck aside
> all around a cutie, who deserved better than to be continously shat on by raging autists

Pretty much. Trunks, despite wearing saiyan armor into battle and obsessing over muh dad and muh heritage, is actually the least saiyan of the saiyans. Even Gohan chimped out against Perfect Cell. There's no indication that Trunks even enjoys fighting.

he has a sword

So... what do these moves do?

Confuse your enemy.
