What's the gap between Future Trunks and Future Androids in the anime?

Future Trunks said Future Androids are weaker than Present Androids. However, during his fight against them in the TV Special, they took a huge blast from him without a scratch. That implies a huge gap, so obviously the Androids had been toying with him until then. On the other hand, since Trunks's reasoning was that he was almost equal to them, can we deduce that he still hadn't realized they'd toyed with him, so at least anime wise, Future Androids=Present Androids? Or did Trunks fight them again off screen after that time, though no such thing is implied in the anime?

The future androids toying with Trunks doesn’t mean they’re as strong as their future selves.

Yeah I hadn’t seen that option before and now that leaves me without any real evidence to go against the strong narrative presented by Trunks

It’s kind of obvious, but it also feels like a cop out for the reasons withheld brought up.

Then why did Trunks use the fact that they were equal as part of his reasoning?

They weren’t equals, Trunks just said he could put up some resistance. Here the androids crush him without any effort at all. I imagine the future androids are stronger but can’t one shot Trunks.

Future 18 should be strong enough to have this kind of confidence against Trunks if she’s on par with Vegeta.

Vegeta is not threatened by Trunks at all.

But Vegeta can’t one shot Trunks, agreed?

Of course not. But he can Vegeta vs Kaioken Goku him. Remember that blast what Vegeta did? Perhaps that’s what 18 intends.

If they can tank his blast without a scratch, obviously they can one-shot him too, unless gaps required for defensive feats are smaller in the anime.

Cooler flies through Goku’s Kaioken Kamehameha x20 unscathed but SSJ Goku tanks his gut punch, so I’m going with this.

And if this was towards the end if the fight, then Trunks was way too tired. Not to mention Trunks having another fight with them seems to be the common sense even in the manga.

I don't think another fight is implied anywhere in the manga or anime.
