Dads. There are four years that make all the difference for Gohan. The year he spent in the ROSAT with Goku is what sent him over the edge, yes. But also the 3 years he spent training with Goku and Piccolo are what got him to the point he was ready to do that. And those only happened because of the warning.
It might have angered Vegeta even more once young Trunks was born knowing that he could not save his son in the future.
While I love Future Trunks, I think there is a really interesting arc here for Vegeta if Gohan came back and told him his son is going to die and how Vegeta failed to save him.
I feel like regarding the last part he feared that his arrival messed up with Gokus arrival and he'd be late, not risking Friza to kill any of the z fighter and mess with the timeline more he decided to take action, unlike Gohan he wasn't there when this happened so he had only heard about the events and maybe wasn't sure on Goku's arrival
They could have wished his arm back. The handicap would make it interesting, though. Lots of ways to write fights to make it seem like Gohan would have otherwise stomped an opponent if not for his missing arm. I love that trope.
Isn't that because Kami was killed and nobody knew about it in that timeline?
Eh, I'd contest this. It wasn't a close fight when it was two on one and he only had one arm, but he was definitely well capable of beating either one of them individually. Where Trunk wasn't close to that level in terms of strength and fighting prowess until he went back in time and worked and trained with the Z Fighters.
Huh. I've always assumed Future Gohan was fairly weak given his circumstances, but this is a cool take.
