i'd say yes
- his buffs are strike focused, which go hand in hand with ssj gohan's toolkit
- he benefits far more from being teamed up with a gohan variant than ssj2 trunks
- his stats after transformation are slightly better than ssj2 trunks
ssj2 trunks would only be better at this point if your future team were blast focused with black goku or in a hybrid saiyan team after he reaches 5 stars.
