How Dragon Ball's pathetic villains doomed the Earth.

Fans of Dragon Ball have long been fascinated by Future Trunks' dystopian timeline, where every hero except the blue-haired Saiyan was killed, including Goku and Vegeta. One bonus comic released for Dragon Ball Super showed exactly how the unfortunate chain of events came to be and, while most of the destruction happened at the hands of the androids, that terrible future hinges entirely on the actions of one minor villain: Pilaf.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT In a brief bonus chapter, Dragon Ball Super pays a visit to Future Trunks' timeline, at a point when he was still a baby and the battle with Androids 17 and 18 raged on. Goku has already died of the heart virus, and Gohan and Bulma are desperately searching for the dragon balls to get some kind of help in the fight. They stumble across the first villains of the franchise, Pilaf, Mai, and Shu, who are summoning Shenron.

Pilaf Doomed Future Trunks' World By robbing Bulma and Gohan of a wish that was desperately needed, the stage was set for the eventual demise of the rest of the Z-Fighters, leaving only Bulma and Trunks to grow old into the future. Wishing Goku back wasn't an option, since he died a "natural" death, but there were a number of other possible options, from unlocking a warrior's latent potential to disabling the androids in some way.

This short chapter was mostly created to explain a few things, though. The Mai of Future Trunks' timeline is roughly the same age as the Saiyan, and now we know how: she was de-aged to a baby when Trunks was still a baby. This indeed fixes a weird pothole, as the two end up falling in love.

Despite the purpose and style of this bonus chapter being quite lighthearted, Pilaf's wasted wish dramatically lowered the odds of the Androids being defeated, thus giving rise to the darkest timeline in the entire series. Pilaf has mostly gotten by through being a relatively minor nuisance, but on this occasion, his presence was a far bigger problem.
