The only thing i can think of is.
Is the hole tapion thing happened after Trunks killed Cell,wait that dosent make sense cause the Evil guy (i forgot his name) wouldnt be able to free Tapion becaue Piccolo was dead therefore the dragonballs were gone.
@Words of Wisdom
The hole Tapion thing happened after the Buu saga,cause Goku went Super Saiyan 3,and Goten and Trunks Fused,Therefore if trunks did keep it,the time line would continue to DBGT, It wouldnt repeat back to the frieza saga,cause Goku would be able to go SS3 and own him.
It did show Tapion in a time Machine,but where could he be going? He wants to go back to his own time when his people were Alive,ok sure but hes still gonna get owned and the SAME things are gonna happen,Could he be going back in time to give future trunks the sword? Possibly,BUT! Why didnt he just kill and the Androids? Oh and he gave his ONLY sword to PRESENT Trunks not Future.
I want the creators of this movie to explain this shit to me.
