Which he DID, if you go by the actual Daizenshuu. Which states he appearaed there and events went off without Trunks. And, again, it's not a "random new Trunks." It's simply him appearing earlier in the same Timeline Trunks went to. (Meaning it is THAT Trunks, whose personal history is then altered because he meets Cell). You can see this pretty clearly.Why is that the only possible option. What are the odds of a completely different Trunks jumping to the exact same timeline as Cell? Surely they have to be infinitesimal... actually, they would be 0% because if Trunks is a copy of OG Trunks then he would've set the coordinates for the Unseen Timeline, just like OG Trunks did.
The fat bracket is a timeline break, and the arrows are Time Travel. The BREAK happens when Trunks first appears (purple) in the past from his Original Timeline. He then returns to his Timeline (History 3), and returns to his previous Time. There he is killed, and has his Time Machine Stolen. Then Cell travels earlier in the Timeline Trunks travels to (in this case, History 4). Meanwhile, Trunks appears and kills Frieza when he wasn't supposed to, like he does in History 4. This causes a Timeline split (History 2), which allows Trunks to return there and back (creating the new Timeline in which Cell follows Trunks back to) instead of History 4, which then allows Cell and Trunks to meet (in History 1, Our History), changing Trunks' fate, allowing him to return home and kill Cell before Cell can kill and steal his Time Machine, like what happened originally.
EDIT: Actually, I'm pretty sure the History 2 Timeline Split occurred because of Trunks finding Cell's Time Machine. Regardless, an additional one is made which allows them to co-exist.
