Top 20 Dragon Ball Abridged Moments #6

Growing up with the show, one of my favorite characters in the entire Dragon Ball Franchise was Future Trunks. I mean, this character has all the ingredients of the things we 90's kids loved. He's got a tragic backstory, a super cool sword and to top it all off, he manages to one shot the main villain of the previous arc in his first appearance. He is so freaking cool, until you realize that under all that, there's a dork with some serious daddy issues. Now I don't mean to sound harsh, Trunks' relationship with his father, Vegeta is actually one of the more interesting aspects of that saga, and besides, it can't be any worse than his relationship with his mother-to-be.

6. I'll be your Mommy

So let's just dissect this scene. After having turned Freeza into a shish kebob, Trunks invites the Z Fighters to have a few drinks while they wait for Goku to return. Unbeknownst to the group, Trunks here is actually the future son of Vegeta and Bulma, but in order to avoid messing up the timeline, he can't tell anyone. By this point, Bulma has had more than a few beers, and starts drunkenly hitting on Trunks. That in and of itself is hilarious, but what makes it perfect is Trunks' internal screaming at the fact that his own mother just solicited him for sex. Just look at that look on his face. I don't know if KaiserNeko, who in addition to providing the voice for Trunks also works his ass off editing each and every episode, edited this scene at all or if that look is just a case of beautiful serendipity, but either ay, he looks fucking terrified. Later on, Bulma finds out leading to some more hilariously awkward moments. Just remember kids, incest is bad, but sometimes, it can be really, really, funny.
