Will We Ever See Super Saiyan Pan?

Post by Nikkolas » Thu Jan 07, 2016 12:56 am

And I don't mean in comics, I mean like in a video game. Something like Xenoverse or whatever.That be perfect!

If Xenoverse and Heroes can make Broly and Gohan going SSJ4, and I think even Future Gohan of all people got new transformations, why can't poor Pan just ascend to regular old Super Saiyan 1?

It's not even a power level thing. I used to believe PL was a factor but Bardock throws that conceptout the window. There's really no excuse or explanation I can see except they want to compound the mistake GT made.

It's especially confusing that they haven't given it to her. We have three female super saiyans via the Heroes avatar characters so why not give it to Pan too?

My only guess is that Pan's just not popular enough. It took them this long to finally do something with adult Goten, and he's in GT even less than Pan is.

Heroes never did "Super Saiyan God Broly", and considering it works with possibilities (hence what-if), we won't see it until the game has done everything else.

As for Super Saiyan Pan, it all comes down to patience.

My bad. I thought SSJG Broly was in Xenoverse. I guess that was a fan thing.

As for being patient for SSJ Pan..GT will be celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. Two decades of no SSJ Pan.

The Perfect Files mention Pan and Bra possibly going SSj. It was likely that Toei did plan out the idea, but end up dropping it.

Heroes logic baffles me. You can give Broly SSJ4, but SSJ Pan is too improbable? Why? Because she never transformed in GT?

Pan never going Super Saiyan was one of my issues with GT. It doesn't matter if SSJ wouldn't help much at that point. It's the thought that counts. And it could have been actual pay-off to the character development she had in the start of that series.

Basically, I hope it happens eventually. Goodness knows it's not the most ridiculous thing they've done so far.
I could have gotten into anything...and yet I chose the story aimed at young Japanese boys about martial arts, and later about super-powerful aliens punching each other really hard.

Well Broli is way more popular then Pan. Pan is not very popular.

Yeah but is Future Gohan that popular? I could swear I saw he got a SSJ2 powerup in a game, too. I mean, good for him and all I guess, I got nothing against the character since History of Trunks was fine, but it's still ridiculous.

Future Gohan has a good fanbase since I see a good amount of fans that like him for being badass. I remember fans was let down that Gohan in the Buu saga was not as cool as Future Gohan before he got his mystic power up. With Pan, most fans seem to dislike her for being annoying in GT.

This, taken from the toyble's DBAF doujinshi, is the nearest-to-official-but-no-official-stuff to watch SSJ Pan:

Huh, I was looking at SSJ Pan pics earlier and found this
I didn't know it was based on anything.

Between Heroes and Shin Budokai 2, Future Gohan has SS2, SS3, and Ultimate in his arsenal.

As for Pan, yeah, It's the single most annoying thing about Heroes right now. Right behind that are Goten not getting anything when like 4 different versions of Trunks have SS3 (but this could be changing with the new Xeno version) and that Gogeta now has SS, SS2, SS3, SS4 and Super Ozaru...but no base form in-game.

I sure hope so. I'm still sad that we didn't get to see a shot of Super Saiyan fetus Pan in Super. At least the video games could do baby and child Pan some justice.

I really wanna see a female Super Saiyan, in capacity. Whether it be Pan, Bra, Seripa etc. It's gotta happen in Dragon Ball Heroes some time down the line. It just has to.

Hasn't it? :(

I can definitely see it happening in Heroes or some other video game in the future, but I don't think we'll ever see it in the main timeline. It honestly still surprises me that it never happened in GT, especially since achieving it didn't even seem to be a big deal at that point.

I dunno. A new SSJ "anything" at this point seems kinda...pointless, at least in the anime/manga portion of the series. What with SSG's flying around, what point is there to dedicating time to someone being a SSJ? Congratulations, you're not just a sideliner but a SUPER sideliner! In Heroes? Yeah, why not.

The Perfect Files did hint at SSj Bra and Pan.
Will new Super Saiyans emerge?
Pan has inherited Saiyan blood and posses high battle power!! If the conditions introduced on the right-hand page [see above] are met, Pan and even Vegeta’s daughter Bra should be able to transform into Super Saiyans!! When the evilest of dangers arrives, perhaps the first female Super Saiyans in history will appear!?
It was possible that the two was going to transform during the Shadow Dragon saga or beyond. I guess Toei and Bandai probably thought that the two characters was not popular for it to happen.

I doubt that had anything to do with it, though, considering that Goten achieved it right after he was introduced. The more likely explanation is that they simply didn't have time to dedicate to it before the series ended. I'm sure if GT had been more successful they would have eventually done it.

Dragonball Heroes has been going crazy with transformations and still nothing of a Super Saiyan Pan. If Broly can be awarded SSJ4 before Pan can even get basic Super Saiyan, she's never going to get it
