Trunks' Timeline

InfantPilafGang

The Pilaf Gang had wished back to be infants.

Pilaf shared the same past events with his present counterpart before Trunks used Time Machine to travel to the past. At some point in the future, the Pilaf Gang gathered the Dragon Balls and summoned Shenron to wish for youth. Their timing was during the Android's attack on Earth, however, and the death of Piccolo rendered them inert from that point on; their wish turned them into infants.[9] Due to Zen'ō erasing the 7th Universe, Pilaf and Shū suffered the same fate.
