Man, whoever masterminded this commercial is damn good at their job. Made Trunks look like a complete and utter Badass without ruining any of the source footage or spoiling the story. Still my favorite commerical of all time.
Same here. I was 16 and now 36. I couldn’t believe DBZ had finally got to the Android Saga in the US. We were forever stuck in the edited Saiyan and Freeza Saga episodes
The moment in this when trunks screams in time with the music as his powering up makes all the dead enemies on the ground fly up always hits me with the goosebumps
I remember when my homeboy let me borrow the VHS tape that had Trunks' preview. I watched this so much that I manage to find this music on NAPSTER. I'm 41 now and still love this
I remember seeing this shortly after finally getting to see Goku go SSJ. It was a real treat back in 2000 debut in the states. Before even 9/11. That was a good moment to be a kid.
Mike Smith composed and performed this music track for the promo and he also composed and performed most of the music throughout the Ginyu, Frieza, Garlic Jr, and Android Sagas. He worked at Faulconer Productions 1998-2003. In the VHS and single DVD ending credits you see his name under “synthesist”… but, he did everything.
when I saw Trunks make his first entrance I was like kid must been crazy to stand against Freiza, I was like why is he stepping up against freiza. Then once he turned super saiyan I was just like the zfighters not knowing who he is or where he came from.
My first time seeing this was on “the history of trunks” dvd and mannnnnn 8 year old me replayed the shit outta this commercial they did such a good job and it’s the reason why he’s my favorite character
This brought me to tears foreel, this is when DBZ was good. I mean super is still great and I appreciate it because I grew up with DBZ but this man....masterpiece.
I remember this ad. At the time this came out only Otaku Steve down the way had access to bootleg sub copies of anything past Frieza so, to us, this commercial was saying, "Welcome to the next level." And boy what a ride it was!
It's funny, I showed this to my brother after not having seen it in 15+ years. I must preface by saying we were HYPED on this video back in the day. So we watch it, and he looks at me and says, "Never has something that advertised so little gotten me so excited."
Trunks would have made the perfect villain in the long run if Akira had gone that route. A super sayain to help the past, but then turns on them all in the end. Add being Vegetas son it would have been awesome
I remember having this on video with the trunks set. I would watch it over and over...until I got the soundtrack...and then I listened to that over and over!
Man, I remember seeing this commercial before they showed this season on Cartoon Network. I was so freaking stoked. I can't remember if they changed the voice over actors leading into this season.

Had to watch the trunks saga in Spanish. Then this commercial came out. Would go to the library and read about the cell saga and buu saga. Print out pictures and draw them. The days before cell phones.
“IT’S OVER!” sounds more badass than “hey Frieza” imo
Agreed they should of kept that line in
"Hey Frieza!
You should split!"
Man, whoever masterminded this commercial is damn good at their job. Made Trunks look like a complete and utter Badass without ruining any of the source footage or spoiling the story. Still my favorite commerical of all time.
Trunks's Actual Titantron Should Be This
Future Gohan be a damn good one too!
Westside Strong I agree
Facts
Now I want to find out who was behind this commercial
When I was a kid, I used to watch this over and over. lol
You and me both.
Shit I still do.
ON VHS!!!!
SAME.
Same. Trunks was just the baddest mother fucker I'd ever seen
I remember having this on VHS and I would replay this part constantly.
That's what I'm doing now
Was this only for tape/ DVD not a TV commercial ? Did any other characters have a commercial like this ?
This was the VHS commercial for the Garlic Jr. tapes & it was such a long wait 😅😅😅
Aye bro... ON GOD!!!!
Garlic Jr tape
this is what made trunks fans. this commercial, started the trunks craze. funimation marketed this perfectly
Saw this for the first time on VHS when I was like 17... I'm 37 now. This is how you introduce a character. Pure bad ass.
More Like American Bad Ass (If You Get The Undertaker Reference)
Saw this when I was 9 or 10 and now 28. This is indeed an epic way to intro a new character
Remember this when I was in third grade now in 26 still into the og dbz.
Same here. I was 16 and now 36. I couldn’t believe DBZ had finally got to the Android Saga in the US. We were forever stuck in the edited Saiyan and Freeza Saga episodes
haha I'm 17 right now watching this
The moment in this when trunks screams in time with the music as his powering up makes all the dead enemies on the ground fly up always hits me with the goosebumps
it really hits home how serious and Awesome Trunks is
This commercial was so badass it made the mildy epileptic kids start break dancing on the floor
this is horrible 😂
Dame 😂
Love when he smiles and his Aurora speeds up
It’s spelled aura
@@lowbudvtuberpete3580 ok mate
@@lowbudvtuberpete3580 obviously a typo or auto correct dude.
@@gojira4life I know I just figured i'd at least try to correct the spelling
My favorite part
bring back so many memories coming home after school didnt even do my homework first it was always dbz
This commercial seriously made me idolize Trunks as an incredible superhero as a kid.
I remember when my homeboy let me borrow the VHS tape that had Trunks' preview. I watched this so much that I manage to find this music on NAPSTER. I'm 41 now and still love this
They didn't need to say DBZ or anything. Just "Trunks"
I used to collect DBZ VHS Tapes when I was like 8 years old and I remember this commercial. I really love this commercial. This brings me back.
I remember seeing this shortly after finally getting to see Goku go SSJ. It was a real treat back in 2000 debut in the states. Before even 9/11. That was a good moment to be a kid.
The greatest promo OF ALL TIME! If you had those DBZ VHS tapes, YOU'D KNOW!
i wish i did have them
Facts
this moment, on july 2, 2002... i saw this trailer and was inspired to pursue martial arts and weightlifting to find my strength, thank you dbz
It's 2017 and this is still bad ass!
2018 and still awesome
2019 and still hard asf
2020 and still tight
Almost the end of 2020 and still goes crazy 🔥 they just don’t make them like this no more
2021 and this is still bad ass
Mike Smith composed and performed this music track for the promo and he also composed and performed most of the music throughout the Ginyu, Frieza, Garlic Jr, and Android Sagas.

I really wish theu used this theme in the actual show
Had to download this. This video needs to survive for all eternity.
period
Copy Vegeta Saga was garbage Including Golden Frieza
I remember my friends and I screaming when we saw this like he was some heart-throb celebrity. 😆 still my favorite character to this day.
Perhaps one of the most epic character intro promos ever made!
My brother and I first saw this on the Garlic Jr Saga VHS set. The first time we saw this commercial... we were like...
(O.O) (O.O)
... awesome.
Are we related? Because the same thing happen to me and my brother.
AlesandrosX wow that exact thing happened to me and my brother! Forgot what year though
when I saw Trunks make his first entrance I was like kid must been crazy to stand against Freiza, I was like why is he stepping up against freiza. Then once he turned super saiyan I was just like the zfighters not knowing who he is or where he came from.
Same with me and my brother, brings back memories!
Same with me as a kid. It was at this moment that Trunks became my new fave Saiyan
My first time seeing this was on “the history of trunks” dvd and mannnnnn 8 year old me replayed the shit outta this commercial they did such a good job and it’s the reason why he’s my favorite character
Crying from the nostalgia, this commercial is more than 15 years old.
Ahh nostalgia I'm so glad I found this I haven't seen this heart stopping trailer in over a decade
This Trunks is underrated, I'm glad Jump Force has him playable.
Sweet victory. :)
He’s been playable in literally every Dragon Ball video game since his debut.
He is NOT underrated 🤡🤡
rip eyes
It's been well over 25 years since I first saw this and it's still incredible. This is how you introduce a character.
This brought me to tears foreel, this is when DBZ was good. I mean super is still great and I appreciate it because I grew up with DBZ but this man....masterpiece.
Liar! You did not cry!!
They need to have Dragon Ball TV 14 and Disney has to sell The Rights back
When I was little for some reason I thought him and his Super Sayian form were two different people in this commercial
Just how I remembered it. Absolutely epic asf. 😩👌🏾
I remember this ad. At the time this came out only Otaku Steve down the way had access to bootleg sub copies of anything past Frieza so, to us, this commercial was saying, "Welcome to the next level." And boy what a ride it was!
That smile and the power up @0:25 gives me goosebumps. This commercial was so epic wen i was 8 and even now
I remember watching this on a DBZ VHS tape when I was a kid. This made Trunks looks so damn cool.
this trailer when i rented some pokemon episodes god this is awesome back in that time
Best Promo Ever When I started buying the freza saga and the combination of seeimg clips of trunks on Napster....different times the internet was new
I am in love with this commercial but my eyes hurt after i get done with it
Such nostalgia, many tears
YmmijTortuga Me too 😢.... we were blessed growing up in the 90s. This video pretty much sums up a whole decade.
Jump Force Games can be on PS3 & 360 with Chararacters Introduced our way English Voices for them Different Voice Clips as well
Incredible how barebones and basic the editing was while still being able to make Trunks look like the badass he was at this point in time.
Its so awesome to see this in HD, and this trailer is one of the reasons Future Trunks is my favorite character. Thanks
this brings back so many childhood memories trunks still my favorite character!!!
This was my favorite commercial as a kid
AND HERE IT IS! Been looking for this for YEARS.
I miss this DBZ...sigh
Then watch it!! 🤡🤡🤡🤡
Super & Super Super Hero must be destroyed
Dbz future trunks was the MAN he was RIPPED BACK THEN
0:07 favorite part for some reason
I think I rewound this commercial so many times that my Dad yelled at me that I was going to mess up his VCR.
this trailer and music gave me cold chills
Houndoom Heroic Trunks is my alarm in the morning, that’s how badass the theme is.
@@geezymoney3729 episodic trunks is also great. Really all the trunks themes
This trailer still hits!
It's funny, I showed this to my brother after not having seen it in 15+ years. I must preface by saying we were HYPED on this video back in the day. So we watch it, and he looks at me and says, "Never has something that advertised so little gotten me so excited."
i miss these old commercials they got me so hyped for dbz hopefully super will try rekindle the feel of these commercials
2019... this makes me more excited to watch some trunks than to watch avengers end game...
damn this took me to VHS days ! Used to love watching this commercial . The music made ME feel like a Super Saiyan !
damn dude.. i used to love this.. actually i still do. but it never got me thinking about how much little boys need to believe they're powerful..
Man when I was a kid and I saw this for the first time and heard “IT’S OVER!”. I was like FUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKKK!!!!!!
@johmedis It was also on the Frieza Saga Uncut tapes. Specifically the 2 episodes of Goku & Frieza's final battle on Namek.
Back when SSJ actually meant something
Someday having Lord Slug & Broly in Old School Anime with Episodes
The goat since day 1
Omg this brought me joy I remember this as if it was yesterday
I'll never forget having this on vhs it would play after every episode leading up to android arc
I FUCKING LOVE THIS OLD TRAILER I USED TO REWIND IT ON TGE VHS ALOT AND PLAY OVER AND OVER ON THE DVD
i first saw this on dvd like 10 years ago
A Super Saiyan With A Sword
I don't need any further description sir
You did good with this Trunks commercial !
This and Ocarina of Time commercial still holds up today imo.
Trunks would have made the perfect villain in the long run if Akira had gone that route. A super sayain to help the past, but then turns on them all in the end. Add being Vegetas son it would have been awesome
Watching this always hits me with nostalgia. I ran this trailer to the ground on DVD as a teen! Still awesome as ever!
Oh man, this commercial is still as good if you watch it while listening to the Buu's Fury version of the music. Gotta love Bruce Faulconer. ^^
I don't know about you but I get Chills seen this every time brings back memories
Hero from the Future
First time I saw this was on the first 2 vhs copies of the trunks saga. As a kid I always thought trunks was the most bad ass character in dbz.
0:37 u know shit is about to get real when u power up n the bodies lift off the floor
I remember having this on video with the trunks set. I would watch it over and over...until I got the soundtrack...and then I listened to that over and over!
Meanwhile so many girls have crushes on him. Future trunks in dbz was awesome
Trunks: the ultimate sword handler..
thank you for this!! so many good memories!!
Back when trunks was awesome
That song needs to be used in anime
If there's ever a DB game where you have to unlock characters individually. This should be Trunks' unlock screen.
Watched this so many times as a kid. Perfection. Also never noticed his eyes actually turn gold at :25
I was 9 years old when I first saw this promo. Can ya blame me for instantly latching onto his character? 🤤🤤
Always loved this commercial as a kid. My siblings and I would be like o.o o.o sitting in silence just watching
Man, I remember seeing this commercial before they showed this season on Cartoon Network. I was so freaking stoked. I can't remember if they changed the voice over actors leading into this season.
When Trunks first appeared in Z... he was a God.
For a video made in 2012 the quality is surprisingly very good!
More like made in 2000
*The mysterious youth*
When the super sayain transformation was about something. Back then and a more feeling know when they were in this state all hell was gyro break loose
Future Trunks is such a badass... So much better than Kid Trunks.
And trillion times better than Future Trunks in Super. I refuse to believe that this blue hair toothpick is our Trunks.
@@missxmarvel at least he got his badass back.
same every kid watched this over n over
@0:57 CLEAN
Funimation tryna give us kids a fucking seizure from how cool Future Trunks is
Ahhhhhh the golden age of VHS
I always loved Trunks

Back in the day when just seeing a regular Super Saiyan was badass... Dbs, I hate you.
SEIZURE PROCEDURE!
@TheKrecken Yeah it would have been on History of Trunks. I remember it was on my VHS version of it right after the end.
God I remember replaying this on a VCR tape lol I was like this trunks dude is too cool!
Had to watch the trunks saga in Spanish. Then this commercial came out. Would go to the library and read about the cell saga and buu saga. Print out pictures and draw them. The days before cell phones.
