Unknown History Saga

The Unknown History Saga unlocks after the Future Warrior collects five Distorted Time Eggs scattered across Conton City's time rift anomalies. Chronoa, the Supreme Kai of Time, reveals that Towa created these eggs in a failed attempt to replicate Tokitoki's Egg. The failed experiments produced the anomalies themselves, harmless distortions that Chronoa allows to remain.

Bardock's Ascension

Through a Time Scroll, the Future Warrior and Xeno Trunks witness what happened after Bardock dragged Mira into the time rift during the Masked Saiyan Saga. Isolated in a dimension without interference, Bardock confronts his captor with accumulated fury over being manipulated and experimented on. Mira, initially confident, grows increasingly alarmed as Bardock's power escalates during combat. The Saiyan father transforms through Super Saiyan, then Super Saiyan 2, and finally erupts into Super Saiyan 3, a form that stuns Mira completely. Bardock defeats Mira decisively, and when Mira regains consciousness, Bardock has vanished. Whether he was consumed by the rift's collapse or transported to another dimension entirely remains unknown.

Trunks Saves His Master

The second scroll reveals a change in Age 780 of the future timeline. Xeno Trunks, witnessing Future Gohan's doomed final battle against Android 17 and Android 18, defies Chronoa's direct orders and intervenes. He refuses to watch his master die a second time. Fighting alongside Gohan as an adult Super Saiyan, Trunks' presence triggers a surge in Gohan's latent power. Together, they destroy both Androids completely. In the aftermath, Gohan welcomes Trunks to stay in this altered timeline, and Trunks accepts, knowing he can never return to the Time Patrol. He resolves to use his knowledge of future threats, Cell and Majin Buu among them, to protect this world from what lies ahead.

Bardock's fight against Mira is remarkable for what it reveals about Saiyan potential. A warrior from an era before Super Saiyan was considered possible reaches Super Saiyan 3, a form that only Goku and Gotenks had previously achieved. Mira's realization that raw fighting spirit can overcome calculated superiority echoes throughout the Xenoverse narrative; his defeat at Bardock's hands is what drives him to later defy Towa's orders in the Warrior from the Demon World Saga.

Xeno Trunks' choice to save Gohan carries heavier consequences. He knows that altering history is the very crime the Time Patrol exists to prevent. He knows Chronoa will not forgive him. He saves Gohan anyway, because some bonds matter more than timelines. The scene where Trunks tells Gohan he cannot return to his own world, and that he does not regret it, distills the entire Xenoverse series' emotional thesis into a single exchange.

The Unknown History Saga asks a question that the Time Patrol normally forbids: what if the heroes who protect the timeline refused to let tragedy stand? Both Bardock and Xeno Trunks choose personal conviction over institutional obedience. Bardock fights Mira not to preserve history but to settle a personal score. Trunks saves Gohan not because the timeline requires it but because his heart demands it.

Chronoa's ambiguous final decision on whether to correct Trunks' alteration or allow the new timeline to exist gives the saga its lasting impact. The player is asked their opinion, and neither answer resolves the dilemma. Within the broader Xenoverse 2 story, this saga serves as both an emotional coda and a philosophical counterweight to the game's central premise that history must be protected at all costs. Sometimes the cost is too high, and the Unknown History Saga has the courage to say so.
