Pan potential

Post by super michael » Sun May 03, 2026 8:59 am

Pan as a character should have high potential, seeing both her parents are both strong and intelligent. Pan father also has SSJ2/Ultimate form, which is something no other Saiyan has.
It also helps that Saiyan babies has a chance to be born with a high power level, as shown with the elite Saiyans that stays on Planet Vegeta. Plus it helps that hybrids has even more potential than a pure blooded Saiyan.


If Dragon Ball goes beyond EOZ, then I can see Pan gaining forms beyond her parents and even surpassing Goku, Vegeta and Gohan. She might even learn many characters techniques and make them her moves. In DBS Super Hero she wants to learn many things

If you want to talk about potential, Bra should clear everyone (do I hear French in the background?)
Considering Saiyan children seem to be at least as strong as their fathers, Pan has always had Gohan's unlocked potential at least... yet current age Bra literally was conceived by a god. A Super Saiyan god, no less. Super Saiyan God Super Sa— why the hell was that ever the name???
GOD help us if Toei ever realizes that "girls love shopping and have icky cooties" is a boring uber-kodomomuke-flavored joke and actually gives us a fighter Bra for once. Hell, they don't even have to drop that joke, literally just give us a competently chaotically-too-strong Bra for once

Bra potential should be higher than Pan, seeing that her parents are stronger than Pan when they were born. Bra at just 2 or 3 years old she is a genius, who can break Dr Hedo computer virus. In intelligence she might surpass everyone be it Dr Gero, Hedo, Bulma, etc.

Yes, wasted potential. Same as Bura.

And also, Gohan and Videl should have gotten another kid.

In my head canon, Pan from GT was heartbroken when Goku left her to train Uub. Considering the fact that he knew how to teleport he could have taken Pan to train along with Uub, at least at times, but he never did. He neglected her. The feminist might even point out that he was training her until he got a boy to train. And what about Piccolo? he could have trained GT Pan, but never did.

At least with the super super hero saga they are trying to correct the Piccolo part. I am ok with it. I am ok with the Pan reboot. I prefer for her to be a 2.0 version now than the most hated family member from the Son legacy.

I don't care about forms, really. What I like about Pan in Super Hero (and to a lesser extent GT) is that she seems to like fighting on a level comparable to Goku, where Gohan and Goten mostly do it because they have to. This is obviously me dumping a lot of assumptions on a small child, but if they were to follow that, Pan would obviously be the best character to take up the protagonist role and reset the stakes a bit while Goku and Vegeta do galactic conflict stuff or whatever in the background.

I would also want Uub, Marron and Bra included to kind of round out a rookie friend group, which obviously sounds very Boruto, and I would want it to be less depressingly-formulaic than that, but I think a cleaner break and a fresh start where the protagonists are a friend group that are all on a roughly comparable level would do wonders for reintroducing the franchise to a new audience, and also to me, who has gotten pretty fatigued with the current cast spinning their wheels so much.
