the tapion movie is cool, but the bit where he gives trunks the sword and then it's highly suggested in the credits that it's the same sword future trunks uses makes like no sense at all
i guess he could have given it to a trunks who grew up to be GT trunks but he only uses his sword in the opening credits and never brings it to space with him, iirc
in fact toriyama never drew him with his sword in his gt sketches. he drew him using a gun though. lmao
pretty much the only animated sequences of GT trunks using his sword are in the GT OP and in the FMVs for the GT ps1 game
i hope present trunks gets a sword in super, if we're talking our pie-in-the-sky dreams for the show. if they indeed include the tapion thing then that would be fairly rad
