Son of Trunks
With the tone of Dragon Ball and the charm of Power Rangers, the long-awaited passion project of Colin Bass premieres its series finale, a conclusion to the Dragon Ball: Son of Trunks live-action fan series. “Episode 3 – Vehan Rises” delivers an explosive and emotional finale to the story of Vehan.
We witness Vehan’s growth reach its pinnacle. The half-Saiyan/half-Angel son of Trunks faces his destiny to save the fractured future Earth from the hands of Super 17 and all other androids. As the Android Army continues to threaten humanity’s last stand, Vehan and the New Z Fighters must rise against the destruction of Earth and the demise of humanity. Vehan must reach beyond his limits to honor not only his father’s legacy, but also to embrace his hidden celestial power within.
Vehan Rises
While the battle rages between androids and humanity. We see Super 17 and Vehan clash in an emotional battle with fast-paced, high-energy attacks. The fight between two rivals engages a repeated series of punches, strikes of spirit slashes, bursts of energy, and Celestial Kamehamehas. You can feel the rage of opposition. The energy of the entire series is full of explosive combat between ki blasts, strikes, and true tests of heart. The storm of dynamic exchanges of action concludes the final fight with hope.
Vehan’s final transformation taps into his unleashed power as he is forced to rise above. Vehan, like Goku, balances between life, death, and something more. The confrontation in Vehan’s celestial blood and Saiyan lineage evolves when Vehan is transported to another dimension, as he sees his father again. Poetic justice prevails as Trunks once again guides Vehan to be his true self. Vehan must understand what defines him. Vehan must ascend.
A Homage
This epic finale delivers a homage to the Dragon Ball saga. Due to Dragon Ball: Son of Trunks live-action being an original passion project, not derived from Toei Animation or Akira Toriyama’s protege Toyotarou, it may cause immediate fan dismissal. However, if one views Bass’s project from the perspective of a fan who wishes to see the continuation of Dragon Ball’s Story, one can appreciate it as a heartfelt dedication of sentimental work.
This finale, executive produced by Elvin Zuleta, celebrates the dedication, creativity, and community support of Dragon Ball fans. AnimeFire and Colin Bass encourage all to watch, like, and share the series as a testament to Dragon Ball.
