Re: Pan as main character
As a main character she isn't going to work..
Plenty examples are given here so I won't be going over them again..
If she ends up as the MC, which I am sure she won't, I will just stop watching the show, it's not a threat. It's simply what will happen, goku is the reason I stick around, he goes I go..
Boruto is implementing the next gen idea, and that's when I stopped watching naruto, I only ever watch the parts the Naruto is in at and skip the rest..
I assume it will be the same for Dragonball in a case like this

Re: Pan as main character
I'm not sure where the idea that Pans personality isn't Toriyamas idea. If anything Pan is written by exactly like every other powerful women he's ever written. Short of 18 who barely speaks at all... my point being is that Pans personality seems to be essentially what Toriyama writes for a character like her, that's assuming he didn't give input to the character himself. It's also likely because we know he writes notes with his designs and he did all the designs for the main character and other stuff with notes too.

Re: Pan as main character
Everything in Z isn't as bad as what he's done in Super. I wouldn't use the word hate though. It's a strong word. I dislike him a bit more after watching Super due to his antics but not even that deserves him being hated or replaced permanently.ABED wrote:Nothing I've heard makes me think he's deserving of being hated or replaced.

Watching Dragonball without Goku just won't be the same.

Re: Pan as main character
This kind of sums up what I'd expect Pan's arc to be. Still, I can imagine some twists here and there. Just to spice things up.floofychan333 wrote:If Goku ever ages or dies, then Pan is our guy (or girl, IDK what to say). I think she has tremendous potential from the EoZ and from what I've heard from Super she's been interesting. Now that female SSJ's are a thing there's no reason she couldn't do that or go beyond that even.
The way I think this could be executed is showing Pan grow up balancing school with training, somewhat in the mold of the Great Saiyaman saga but more realistic than cheesy. I can also imagine if Pan fought with the Z Fighters against villains, Mr Satan would want her to have the credit because she is his granddaughter, which would create an interesting conflict. As an adult, Pan would balance college and a job with fighting, and we'd see scenes where she'd be working in an office or wherever then suddenly sense a huge power level and fly away, then face comedic consequences. Of course, my idea would be very comedic, but I think it could have a different mood if anybody wanted to make it different. Thoughts?

Re: Pan as main character
I'd like to see Pan take over for her grandpa Satan after he retires, kind of like she does in DBO. His techniques are treated as jokes for the most part, but someone strong like Pan could really do something with them.

I have edited first post with the new recount of people who like the idea and people who don't. You can check it and correct me if I commited any mistake. Anyway, thanks for posting

Re: Pan as main character
Eh would much rather see Trunks/Goten or a distant descendant like Goku Jr lead a series

Re: Pan as main character
I would prefer to see Goten and Trunks taking the roles of Goku and Vegeta after the two kill eachothers in their final battle.
When Vegeta trained FT in Super he said he won't accept a weak son. I would like to see him training Goten and Trunks after Goku goes off to train Uub. It would be awesome to see Vegeta training Goten. I would also like it if Goku trained Pan together with Uub. Though I would save her for later once she and Bra grow up.

Vegeta training Goten would definitely be interesting. But call me biased, Id rather Goku train him.emperior wrote:I would prefer to see Goten and Trunks taking the roles of Goku and Vegeta after the two kill eachothers in their final battle.

Re: Pan as main character
I like to think that Pan follows Goku to Uub's village on her own some time after he and Uub leave the stadium. She flies around the world on her own already, so locking onto gramps' ki and zipping over there should be a piece of cake. Pan, Chi Chi, Ox and Goten all seem to live in Uub's village in Neko Majin Z.emperior wrote:I would prefer to see Goten and Trunks taking the roles of Goku and Vegeta after the two kill eachothers in their final battle.
