Dragon Ball Super
Summary
Pan may not be one of the first characters one thinks of when hearing mention ofDragon Ball , butSuperhas made her a very relevant character in late chapter , which , of course , draws inevitable comparison to the quality as seen inGT . compare to the potential she was said to possess , Pan inGTis rather disappointing , butSuperhas the opportunity to exchange all of that .
Pan is the daughter of Gohan and Videl , only just expect during the course ofDragon Ball Super ’s story . She ’s a major role inDragon Ball GT , often accompanying the de - aged Goku on his adventures . However , the translation of Pan ascertain inGTisn’t quite what one might expect from Goku ’s granddaughter . While she does enjoy martial arts to some extent , she puts very little of her effort into training , and , as a result , is quite weak . Pan also has a bit of a bad attitude at times , sassy and negative in a way that brings down the grouping . That ’s not to say Pan is entirely useless , but compare to the potency she ’s said to have possessed , it ’s extremely dissatisfactory .
Pan’s Characterization in GT Doesn’t Match with Her Dragon Ball Z Introduction
Pan is first seen in the epilogue ofDragon Ball Z , where she ’s around 5 years former and already shown to be a decently knock-down martial artist , defeat Goten in a friendly round despite the pregnant eld gap between them . Despite being only a one-fourth - Saiyan , Pan is thefirst distaff Saiyanwith a major use in the serial , and as such has some great expectation upon her . Pan is said to have inherit Gohan ’s unbelievable potential , suggesting that she should be among the most brawny of the Saiyan characters in the series .
Her characterization inDragon Ball GTseems to have disregard this aspect entirely , in favor of order Goku back in the spotlight by First State - aging him back into a child . While Pan often accompanies him on adventures , she ’s not the most helpful person to have around most of the time , and is often displeased with Goku over what ’s happening , even when it is n’t really his fault . It even take to the stage where Goku and Trunks discuss sending Pan habitation and finishing their mission by themselves , which only serve to overturn Pan and make her to run away off and get into problem .
No matter how one looks at it , the Pan seen inGTis a wild departure from how she was shown to be inZ , almost pretend her a dissimilar character entirely . The series just did n’t observe Pan ’s initial characterization , opting to create a newfangled personality for her , putting her in more of a Bulma - type character rather than allowing her to be one of the Saiyans . cave in thatSuperis typeset beforeGT , the interrogation forSuperwas , which word picture should she be given ?
Dragon Ball Super Does Pan Justice
Dragon Ball Super , showing Pan grow from a child to a astonishingly up to toddler , position her much more in telephone circuit with how she appear to be at the end ofZ. In one episode of theSuperanime , Pan is shown to be able to fly already , even as an babe , and even carries the Pilaf pack to safe . ByDragon Ball Super : Super Hero(and the accompanying manga arc ) , Pan is a three - year - old nipper who ’s already begun her warriorlike arts preparation with Piccolo and has a real knack for it . Despite struggling with ki blasts , Pan is already making more progress than even Gohan did as a child .
Once Cell Max appears , Pan compute out how to hold her power to fell , and is able-bodied to retrieve a lose Senzu bean for her father , despite all the chilling things happen around her . Pan is also bear witness to be capable of knocking out adult humans during battle , show that her strength is already leagues forward of where an ordinary human child would be . Pan ’s electric potential can already be take care here , even though she ’s done very small in the way of fighting .
InDragon Ball Z , Vegeta does make note that a intercrossed Saiyan / Earthling would have tremendous electric potential , and it seems even two generations in that that ’s still true . Though still young , Pan is in a position by this point inSuperto take on a role similar to the one once oblige by her father when he was a child . Some supplementaryGTmaterial suggest that Pan is not equal to of going Super Saiyan , but there ’s really no reason to believe that ’s the guinea pig . GT ’s Pan has n’t prepare enough to be eligible to expend Super Saiyan , so of course she ca n’t do it ; she ’s never in good order strain .
Dragon Ball Super Can Make Pan the Greatest Saiyan
Gohan ’s fantastic latent potentiality has finally been actualize inSuper Hero , ensue in his unparalleled Beast transformation . There ’s no reason that Pan , who purportedly has the same kind of potential , could n’t do the same thing with enough skill and training . TheSupermanga has made it clear that Gohan ’s Beast formis on par with Goku ’s Ultra Instinct , giving Gohan a good title to being the strong Saiyan at the present moment .
As it continues into its next arc , whatever that may be , Dragon Ball Superhas the opportunity to do Pan ’s character more justice thanGTever did . It ’s not hard to reckon a panorama where immature Pan is able to go Super Saiyan just like her father did as a tyke , impressing Gohan and Goku with her rapid growing . Of course , something like that happen would meanfinally writingGTout of persistence entirely , which the powers that be seem loath to do .
Still , Dragon Ball Supershould usurp upon this chance to give Pan the characterization and development that she deserves , and make the first major distaff Saiyan theatrical role inDragon Ballinto a warrior who can proudly stand alongside her father and granddaddy as a defender of Earth .
