Fans of Dragon Ball Super may be surprised to learn how close the series got to having a spinoff, as evidenced by an interview with artist Toyotarou. While little is known about the proposed spinoff in general, it is known who the story would've supposedly starred: Trunks.
In past interviews, Toyotarou has expressed that he enjoyed the Saiyaman arc of the original Dragon Ball, so it should perhaps come as no surprise that he jumped at the chance to make his own version. It seems likely that if there were to have been a spinoff focusing on Trunks created at this point, it would've been a more slice-of-life take on Trunks' high school life, as we saw in those few chapters of Dragon Ball Super.
In the end, Toriyama was probably right to encourage Toyotarou to simply put his Trunks-focused story directly into Dragon Ball Super. While Trunks' character is certainly strong enough to be the lead, such a series would be quite a departure from the usual Dragon Ball that fans know and love. And that's all without getting into the added work that a spinoff would be, on top of drawing Dragon Ball Super.
