    • Trivia
      In the manga adaptation, Trunks is able to turn Super Saiyan before Gohan dies. However in this version, Gohan's death is what causes Trunks to transform into a Super Saiyan.
    • Goofs
      The Z-Fighter death scenes shown here contradict those shown in the Cell Saga in the series.
    • Quotes

      Gohan: You know you can't win! You can't destroy what I really am! Even if you manage to kill this body, someone even stronger would surface and take my place! Not one death will go unaccounted for, not one!

    • Crazy credits
      After the end credits, there is an image of Trunks and Goten and it reads "Dragon Ball Z - Supesharu - Owari" which translates into "Dragon Ball Z Special - End".
    • Alternate versions
      The edited VHS releases by FUNimation cuts out the nudity and blood.

    U.S. release: Dragonball Z: The History of Trunks

    Well, I have to say that I was impressed by FUNimation's translation of the Trunks Special. The VAs performed quite well, and the script was fairly decent.

    The dubbed special features a variety of musical acts, although the most disappointing music, by far, was the title sequence by Andy Baylor. The obnoxious techno track did not match the opening animation at all, and actually had me longing for "Rock the Dragon".

    I would recommend waiting for the bilingual DVD to come out, so that you may enjoy the special in its "true" form, but if you can't wait, then the VHS version of "The History of Trunks" should keep you happy for now.
