While Dragon Ball Super Focused primarily on Goku and Vegeta, their children also played significant roles in the story, adding unique and intriguing elements to the plot. Among them, Goku’s eldest son, GohanStands out, often challenging his father and Vegeta as one of the top Saiyans in the series. Now, thanks to an incredible piece of new fan art, fans can get a glimpse of what it would be like if Vegeta’s son, TrunksFinally powered up to Gohan’s Beast Mode.
The fan art, created by the talented Dragon Ball Fan artist Kakeru and posted to the artist @dbskakeru On Instagram, a caped Gohan in beast mode is depicted standing at the edge of a crumbling cliff, staring menacingly out across the precipice. Below him, a sitting Future clan in beast mode exudes an equally intimidating aura, while clutching the iconic sword gifted by Gohan’s future self.
Considering the known strengths and untapped potential of Gohan’s Beast Mode, combined with the innate abilities and experience of Gohan and Future Trunks, The Beast “Modid” duo might just be the most formidable pair in the Dragon Ball Universe. At the very least, they would certainly challenge their fathers for dominance as the heads of their families. In fact, they could be powerful enough to even push the older Saiyans into early retirement.
Dragon Ball fanart teases an awesome potential plot point
The fanart is so good, Dragon Ball would do well to follow suit
What sets Kakeru’s piece apart from others Dragon Ball Fan art, beyond its epic artistry, is its potential to become a reality. Unlike most fan art, which is often aspirational and depicts ideas and images that fans hope to see in their favorite series, Trunks achieving beast mode is a real possibility. In fact, there is no compelling reason to believe that only Gohan can unlock Beast Mode. On the contrary, there are more reasons to suggest that Trunks could achieve beast mode than not. This possibility makes Kakeru’s artistry even more exciting and believable.
First, like Gohan, Trunks is the child of a human mother and a Saiyan father. If some aspects of achieving beast mode result from The combination of human and saiyan bloodThen Trunks is well positioned for success. Furthermore, since Trunks is descended from Saiyan royalty, any beast mode he could achieve could be more impressive than Gohan’s version. Finally, some Saiyan transformations are unique to specific characters. There are no other character-specific Super Saiyan transformations outside of Goku Black’s Super Saiyan Rosé, Broly’s Legendary Super Saiyan, Trunks’ Super Saiyan Rage, and Vegeta’s Super Saiyan Blue.
Gohan’s influence on future Trunks is significant
Perhaps most notable is that in Future Trunks’ alternate timeline, It was Gohan who trained him For over a decade and, in essence, made him the warrior he is today and in the future. More importantly, Gohan helped him achieve Super Saiyan Mode. Indeed, as a result of Gohan’s death to the androids, Future Trunks’ outburst of emotion led him to achieve the Super Saiyan form for the first time. Accordingly, if there is anyone who can coax Trunks into reaching beast mode, it is surely his mentor – Gohan.
Kakeru’s piece serves as an ode to both the potential and the possibilities in the Dragon Ball Universe. While we know that Gohan’s Beast Mode is real — and spectacular — there’s also the very real possibility that one day his pupil, Trunks, could reach the same ultimate level. If and when the time comes, the Dragon Ball Universe should be on notice: despite their fathers’ aspirations, it can only be Gohan And Trunks Which finally fulfills the promise of the Saiyan legacy.
