Toughening Up

Follow our guide to complete the Toughening Up substory in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot. Learn how to find Trunks and defeat him to earn valuable rewards.

Hey there! So, you're looking to tackle the 'Toughening Up' substory in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot? Awesome! This one pops up during the 'Getting Ready for Goku' part of the main story, right after you find out Goku's joining the World Tournament. Keep an eye out as soon as you leave Capsule Corp – you should spot Trunks chilling nearby, looking for someone to spar with.

Gohan, being the good guy he is, offers to play. Trunks is itching for a place to really let loose with his fighting, so Gohan suggests heading to the spot where Piccolo used to train him. Naturally, Trunks being Trunks, he zips off ahead! You'll need to chase after him, so make your way to the Central Plains Area.

Once you arrive, get ready for a friendly battle with Trunks. Don't worry, he's not too different from the Future Trunks you might have faced earlier. He's still got his signature Burning Attack and Dive-Bomb Slash Kick, and it looks like he picked up Consecutive Energy Blast from his dad. Honestly, he's not a difficult opponent at all, so you should be able to wrap this up pretty quickly. Winning this fight against Trunks will complete the substory for you!
