Dragon Ball Kai: Mirai ni Heiwa wo! Goku no Tamashii yo Eien ni

Trunks returns to the future and is reunited with Bulma. As tranquility seems to return, the androids are attacking again. Trunks saves an elderly man from being killed by Androids #17 and #18. Thanks to his training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Trunks easily destroys the two androids. Three years later, Trunks prepares to head back into the past to tell everyone of his victory. However, there is still one more android to stop: Cell, in his Imperfect Form. After a brief fight, Trunks launches Cell into the air and destroys him with ease as well. Peace is finally restored to the future timeline. Back in the present, Goku begins his new "life" in the Other World.

A great conclusion to Trunks' arc!

This episode focuses on showing the events in Future Trunks' world and how he dealt with the threats that arose after the battle against Cell. The episode convincingly explores how he found the strength to move forward, even after so many losses and tragedies. Seeing the character mature and make crucial decisions to ensure the future of his world is one of the most rewarding parts.

The sense of completeness that the episode brings is remarkable. It closes Trunks' arc very satisfactorily, addressing not only the external conflicts he faced, but also the internal ones, which were inevitable after everything that ... happened in his timeline. The character's ending is completely closed, which is a rare feeling in many sagas, which sometimes leave loose ends or rushed resolutions. Here, Trunks has a conclusion worthy of his journey, and this makes the experience even more rewarding for fans of the series.

I won't go into too much detail about the story to avoid spoilers for those who haven't watched it yet, but I can guarantee that this special is well worth watching. The plot fits organically into the original story, adding value to the saga's ending and providing a sense of closure for everyone involved. The episode adds an extra layer to the narrative, bringing more depth to Trunks' story and, at the same time, making the fan feel more connected to the character's destiny.

Regarding my rating, I give it a 7. The episode was genuinely engaging and left me with a feeling of satisfaction at the end. It was a remarkable moment that served to tie up Trunks' story well and provide a well-crafted conclusion. The ending was, without a doubt, a gift for fans of the series, especially those who followed the character's development from the beginning.

Um otimo fechamento de arco para Trunks!

Este episódio se concentra em mostrar os acontecimentos no mundo do Trunks do futuro e como ele lidou com as ameaças que surgiram após a batalha contra Cell. O episódio explora de forma convincente como ele encontrou forças para seguir em frente, mesmo depois de tantas perdas e tragédias, ver o personagem amadurecer e tomar decisões cruciais para garantir o futuro de seu mundo é uma das partes mais gratificantes.

A sensação de completude que o episódio traz é notável. Ele fecha o arco de Trunks de forma muito satisfatória, abordando não apenas os conflitos externos que ele enfrentou, mas também os internos, que eram inevitáveis após tudo o que aconteceu em sua linha do tempo. O desfecho do personagem é completamente fechado, o que é uma sensação rara em muitas sagas, que às vezes deixam pontas soltas ou resoluções apressadas. Aqui, Trunks tem um encerramento digno de sua jornada, e isso torna a experiência ainda mais recompensadora para os fãs da série.

Não vou entrar muito nos detalhes da história para evitar spoilers para aqueles que ainda não assistiram, mas posso garantir que vale muito a pena assistir a esse especial. A trama se encaixa de maneira orgânica na história original, agregando valor ao final da saga e proporcionando uma sensação de fechamento para todos os envolvidos. O episódio acrescenta uma camada extra à narrativa, trazendo mais profundidade para a história de Trunks e, ao mesmo tempo, fazendo o fã se sentir mais conectado ao destino do personagem.

Em relação à minha avaliação, dou uma nota 7. O episódio foi genuinamente envolvente e me deixou com uma sensação de satisfação ao final. Foi um momento marcante, que serviu para amarrar bem a história de Trunks e dar um desfecho bem trabalhado. A conclusão foi, sem dúvida, um presente para os fãs da série, especialmente para aqueles que acompanharam o desenvolvimento do personagem desde o início.

Spoiler

Dragon Ball Z Kai: Bring Peace to the Future! Goku's Spirit is Eternal, also known as episode 98 of Dragon Ball Kai! It was a really bittersweet end to the Dragon Ball Z Kai series and wrapped it up nicely making way for the Final Chapters :D definitely a must-watch for those who want to bring clarification for what happens when Future Trunks goes back to his timeline..

but *spoiler alert for the episode*






it goes exactly the way you think it went xD
...
I scored this a 9 simply because I wasn't expecting the series to give us a whole episode dedicated to Future Trunks saving his world in his time and I'm really glad we got to see the series wrap up so nicely! Not going to lie it made my kokoro race to see Future Trunks finally bring an end to the Androids and all the pain and suffering he, Bulma and the people of Earth went through. Of course it's still so saddening to think that he really has lost everyone and there's no one left for him but his mom, but as the main theme for this episode is to highlight the way everyone rebuilds themselves and their lives after all the destruction, both in Future Trunks timeline and in our main timeline, it gives hope for the future and at the very least now we know that all of our heroes are truly happy

Mixed Feelings

This episode could have been an e-mail.

Now don’t get me wrong, I like conclusions to stories, but it really feels like not much has happened in this special. Like sure, it’s cool to see Trunks getting his revenge on these troublemakers. Sure, it’s cool to see how he became so powerful he doesn’t even struggle beating them. But defeating the two androids in one move each and Cell with two moves just feels a bit *too* rushed. No eyecandy moves, no interesting choreography, just blink and you’ll miss it defeat. Which is fascinating because the issue with Dragon Bal lis usually that the fights ... take way too long, but now we’re dealing with the other extreme. And honestly, making the defeat way too easy, like with literally zero struggle against what is the big bad of just the very recent arc really showcases the issues with powerscaling and how quickly previous threats just look almost meaningles when the new shiny thing is on its way. However I do like that the script doesn’t just handwave what happened to the world of Future Trunks and does go back to show it instead of simply moving on.

Well, if you’re a Dragon Ball fan there’s no question, you’ll enjoy this. And even you wouldn’t call yourself that you’ll still be able to watch this with no issue without getting too irritated.
