Today’s episode is: Mystery Revealed.
Goku is surprised to see everyone there to meet him, and he is even more surprised that the new kid knew the exact time and location of his arrival. The new kid asks to speak with Goku privately. They both turn into Super Saiyans and the new kid tests Goku a bit. Satisfied, the new kid introduces himself as Trunks. He is Vagita’s son, which is how he is a Saiyan. He is also from the future, being born in about two years and coming from about twenty years in the future. But that isn’t what he came to say. In three years (he even gives the exact date, time, and location again) a pair of androids show up and start going on a destructive rampage that has lasted until Trunk’s current time. They were created by Dr. Gero, an old enemy who once created the Red Ribbon Army, but Gero himself was killed by his creation. And shortly after, Earth’s special forces were killed by the androids, all except for Gohan who managed to escape and later taught Trunks, but then thirteen years later Gohan was killed by the androids leaving Trunks to face them alone. In this recital, Goku notices he is not mentioned. It seems shortly before the androids arrive Goku contracts a deadly virus and therefore isn’t around to try and fight the androids. Goku is disappointed, and Trunks says in his time they do have a cure for the virus and gives it to Goku. He then promises to return in three years time to help fight the androids. He also says his mother is Bulma and he makes Goku promise not to say anything because otherwise Vagita and Bulma might not get together and Trunks then would not be born. As Trunks doesn’t remember his father he is happy to have finally seen him. When Goku returns to the others, they naturally want to know what Trunks said, but Goku is reluctant but Piccolo heard every word. He doesn’t say anything about Trunks, but he tells everything about the androids. Some are skeptical, but in the end they all decide to train hard for three years in the future.
