I loved Pan in DBZ a lot, but tbh I never really watched GT properly because the few episodes of it I did watch were terrible. I don't think she was too bad in it though, I just wish she was actually stronger (or you know, that anyone not named Goku or Vegeta would've gotten something to do other than being roflstomped by every villain)

Z Videl and 23rd Budokai Chi Chi are my favorite DB girls. I like Pan too. Mainly Z, but the Japanese GT incarnation isn't as bad as the Funi dub version.

One of my unpopular opinions is that I love Adult Gohan and that Teen Gohan isn't one of my favorites.

About Pan, she reminds me of a relative of mine. I used to dislike her, but now I don't care for her, but she's not my least favorite DBZ female.

Pan in Z is awesome and shows awesome potential. In GT she is just whatever... I don't hate her but I don't love her either.

I used to hate GT Pan (can't stand little shits who act bratty) but now I simply dislike her because she at least grows some (though it's something you'd see coming a mile away), unlike Kaioshin and Babidi; who are the only characters in all of Dragon Ball that I genuinely hate.

For me, the best to least (out of the main Z-dames) is like this:

1. #18 (Made Vegeta (and eventually Kuririn) her bitch. Is a fashionista. Conned Mr. Satan outta his money. Not to mention she's the only one that's not a headstrong idiot)
2. Videl (Got hella spunk. Plays the "tsundere" role perfectly. Her relationship with Gohan is the best portrayed pairing in the series)
3. Chi-Chi (I know she's overbearing when it comes to Gohan's schooling, her engagement with Goku is stupid but fuck that she's my waifu)
4. Bulma (got smarts, nice body, all that shit but she's also a complete and utter cunt on numerous occasions that you just wanna smack)
5. Lunch (one-note side comedy; never found her shtick particularly funny and probably never will)

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

Agreed. I love some of his adorkable moments, but some of his saiyaman moments are too embarrassing to watch :oops:.

I fully agree with your list, especially your pinpoints on #18, Videl, and Chi-Chi. I love Lunch, but I respect your opinion. For me, I love #18 the best because of her sarcasm (I know it's only in the Funi Dub, but still) and her attitude.

Saiyaman is glorious. I kind of want a spin off series of him fighting crime :lol:

My favorite female character is Chichi, but I love all of them, really.

I really enjoyed the whole slice of life thing and Saiyaman because of the silliness. That and I loved how everyone reacted to the costume.

I like all the DB females but my favorite moments with Launch are her introduction and the sleep scene, Videl is my personal favorite hands down.

I like FLOW's version of Cha-La more than the original.

Dragon ball z movie 4 sūpā saiya-jin da Son Gokū, is one of my favourite movies.
It is clear that sometime in Mark Satan's life, he acquired the dragon balls and called upon shenlong to grant him immortality.

The original has a special meaning for me and brings me back to my childhood, but I like FLOW's version a lot because I get to sing along to it. Kageyama's voice is way too low for me :lol:

That's debatable tbh. But I see some people saying Kid Buu is stronger than Gohan Buu, which is BS in my opinion

Probably because they're all right, and saying Pure Buu is stronger is flat-out wrong going by the manga/source material (and even the anime, really).

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke
Herms wrote:The fact that the ridiculous power inflation is presented so earnestly makes me just roll my eyes and snicker. Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

It's not debatable at all. It's blatantly clear in the manga. Super Buu eats Kid Buu.

Pure(/Kid) Boo is stronger than Evil(/Super) Boo. Goku said that even with Vegeta's help, he didn't stand a chance against Evil Boo, unless they used Fusion or the Potara. Then, after Pure Boo appeared, Goku believed that he could manage something now, and after fighting him in an even fight, he said that if he could charge a full power blast, he could kill him. But being alive + SS3 drained his stamina faster than it did when he was dead, so he didn't have time to gather energy. When Vegeta said to bring back the Earth & everyone there, Goku thought that Vegeta's plan was to bring Gohan & Gotenks so that they can fight (SS3 Gotenks would have killed Evil Boo if he had a little more time, and Ultimate Gohan was far stronger than Evil Boo, so they should be both more than enough to kill Pure Boo). However, Vegeta said that this wasn't the case, he wanted Goku to create a Super Genki Dama, so that the Earthlings would save themselves with their power for once, instead of relying on others to do it for them (Goku & co.).

And as for Vegeta's speech about Goku being #1, he was talking about their rivalry, he wasn't saying that Goku was the #1 in the universe, he was saying that between him & Goku, Goku was #1, not him.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Yeah true. I just wanted to sound like a middle man because I'm tired of the Super Buu vs Kid Buu arguments on YouTube, and didn't really want another by swinging 1 way.
