in the DB-Z-GT trilogy, who are strongest women?

Discussion, generally of an in-universe nature, regarding any aspect of the franchise (including movies, spin-offs, etc.) such as: techniques, character relationships, internal back-history, its universe, and more.

in the DB-Z-GT trilogy, who are strongest women?

Due to her showing up late in GT, I feel Oceanus may be the strongest female in the original trilogy. Great interesting character with peak design as well.
Android 18 is probably second. I feel she's a bit stronger than Pan. Having that unlimited energy gimmick probably helps as well.
Pan seems like the logical choice for 3rd place.

But after that it gets interesting. Would it be Videl? We don't see her fight in GT, but she appeared fairly strong in Z.

*I specifically excluded Super from this, as the added women from from that show would make it far too easy. It also wouldn't be "compatible" with the original trilogy, timeline wie.

If we're counting dead characters, I think West Kaioshin would actually be the #2 after Liu Xinglong (or #3 depending on how high Pan actually ranks. GT's scale is wonky like that). After them and #18, it'd probably go East Kaio (mid-level god, probably in the same ballpark as Kaio), Princess Snake or Annin (both give a post-23rd Budokai Goku some trouble iirc), then Chi-Chi (has Turtle Hermit-School training and her feats against Goku at the Budokai firmly put her in the superhuman tier), then Videl (aside from being able to fly, seems a lot more "normal" then Chi-Chi).

Of course, the actual #1 is Arale.

Apparently GT Pan was said to be stronger than Trunks, although I don't recall that scene myself.

I think you are referring to the fight vs Rildo, when she slaps the shit outta Rildo and a trembling Trunks says she is stronger than himself.

I remember Rildo is stronger than Buu, so is Pan stronger than Buu?

I don't remember the full episode, but a summary indicated it was more of a case of Pan being stronger than Rildo was expecting, but not actually stronger than him.

Do you guys think Pan would be able to defeat Zangya?

I don't remember how strong she was. Think she solo'd Yamcha and then lost to SS2 Gohan?

I consider Bojack's whole squad to be broadly Cell Jr level. For me, it's more of a question of how strong is Pan supposed to be compared to past enemies (iirc the only person she definitively scales to was Android #20)

Well in GT, Freeza didn't keep his mechanical upgrades when he died, so maybe Dr. Gero didn't either? He could just be a regular human when Pan attacked him.
