Truten

Truten is the slash ship between Trunks and Goten from the Dragon Ball fandom.

Canon
In the Dragon Ball canon, Trunks and Goten are only close friends who have a lot of fun and they rely a bit too much on each other, however, as pointed out to them by Vegeta. Trunks tends to usually take control over the younger Goten, stating to him numerous times how he is both older and stronger, during their childhood. Between Trunks and Goten, Goten is surprisingly the voice of reason, though he usually goes along with the former's ideas.

Both Goten and Trunks are fight lovers, they fought each other in the 25th World Martial Arts Tournament's finals. They fought Android 18 and Mr. Satan in a battle royale. The first time that both fused was with each other into Gotenks to fight Buu, but not strong enough to defeat him.

Goten and Trunks have a lot of ship moments in both DBZ and DBS (more in fanon section). Mainly in Dragon Ball Super they play a lot with each other. Unfortunately, a love interest for a rejuvenated 30 year old woman by Trunks was introduced in DBS, hindering the development of this ship.

Trunks and Goten is seen participating in the battle against Cell Max. The fans also first time see them grown up to their teenage heights (since GT). During the movie they fuse to create one of the failed versions of Gotenks (Fat Gotenks), which implies that they have not fused in some time. However, they do end up being somewhat useful in the battle.

The beginning of the Super Hero Saga takes place shortly before the events of the Super Hero movie. Goten and Trunks appear to be living fairly normal teenage years, except that they have developed a strong interest in superheroes, particularly certain Cleangod. As they fight crime, Trunks points out that it would be easier to get a device similar to Gohan's to help them get into their superhero clothes faster. To keep the superhero activity a secret from their families, Trunks asks Pilaf to create them transformation watches that will put them into their superhero costumes in no time.

Both Trunks and Goten attend the same school; Blue Hal High School. Although they are in different classes. They have somewhat managed to fit their high school and superhero lives into their schedules, but Trunks is having trouble as he seems to often be late for school. Goten and Trunks also seem to have their own circles of friends at school, although their friends don't seem to be aware of their powers or the fact that they aren't fully human.

Meanwhile, Trunks also has a huge crush on Mai. He only got two tickets to the first screening of the new Cleangod movie and a meet and greet with the star of the movie. At first, Goten thinks he can go to the movies with Trunks to see the new movie and meet their idol, but Trunks wants to take someone else. Goten is a little disappointed that he can't go, but guesses that Trunks is interested in taking Mai with him, which he confirms. Trunks apologizes, but tells Goten that he owes him. However, Capsule Corp's Helper-Bots seem to be having problems as Mai fixes them together with Pilaf and Shu, so she can't go to the movies if the reason for their sudden breakdown isn't found.

This leads to Goten and Trunks learning about Dr. Hedo's secret business and the so-called Alpha series of androids. When they destroy it, Trunks takes with him a mysterious disk with a lot of secret information. This leads to Dr. Hedo chasing them, sending his androids after them (even to their school), and eventually being arrested after Trunks and Goten in their superhero personas deal with him.

Fanon
It is one of the most popular ships in Dragon Ball, due to their intimacy in Dragon Ball Z. Some fans felt they could have feelings for each other during their time together. With the release of Dragon Ball Super, it now rivals TruMai.
