[QUOTE="scoutterSSJ, post: 4234, member: 256"] What you're overlooking is that Cell travels to 1 year prior Trunk's first arrival on the past. In other words, Cell can kill the 1st Time Line Trunks because when he travels to the past, he goes 1 year before Trunks' arrival. So when Trunks arrives in the TL we see, in reality we already have 2 different TLs where Trunks has traveled to the past: one where Trunks arrives at a past without Cell and one where he arrives at a past with Cell (the one we know). The Trunks that arrived at a past without Cell is the one that came back to the future, killed the androids and was killed by Cell when he was preparing the time machine to visit Goku & friends (presumably to help them kill the androids in the present). On the other hand, the Trunks that arrived at a past with Cell in it went to the future but recharged the time-machine as soon as he arrived, didn't fight the androids and came back to help. Then he goes back to the future after the Cell games and kills the androids and Cell in a new timeline he unawarely created because of Cell's presence in the past. In other words, Trunks thinks he returns to his timeline, but in reality Trunks returns to a future TL that's created because of Cell's time-travel and the different decisions that he takes as a consequence of them. Toriyama did a masterful job with the Cell saga (this is Terminator in steroids, basically), he managed to tie up a fairly complex scenario very well! Regards! [/QUOTE]
