I dunno if the manga is different, but the first time you ever see Trunks as a Super Saiyan in the anime series is when he makes Frieza look like a joke. Sure his first real transformation is that iconic moment when Future Gohan dies, but its not what you see first in the anime series at least. Its like Vegeta where his first happened off screen so the one you really see for the first time is after the fact instead of in the moment. Only Goku got that for the standard Super Saiyan transformation and even then he literally let the dude who murdered his friend live even knowing he would never change and was a heartless monster that thought nothing of life aside from his own.

Gokus character bugs me the most in the series. As a kid he killed villains who were way less evil than the villains Z had and yet in Z he constantly lets people who murdered his friends live and even gets angry when somebody kills one of the villains. It makes no sense at all and his character only gets even worse as the series advances. By Super he is probably worse than most of the villains even and yet nearly everyone in universe treats him like some great guy even though he lets genocidal monsters live because theyre fun to fight. By all rights despite having saved the world countless times Goku is also a monster who cares more about the thrill of the fight than actually being a good person as an adult
