Pedophilia! Trunks is 13 years older than Pan! Although he LOOKS young when not in a suit+glasses, he's 27 in GT!

Actually, she deduces it from what the woman is wearing, rather than the fact that she looks exactly like Bulma.

And I tend to doubt Pan's mind at this point anyway. According to the Blue Water dub, when someone asks who she is, she responds:

"Some call me Pan."

At which point, I'm really tempted to say, "Oh, and what do other people call you? Alan?"

I never said she looked like Buruma, I said her appearance. Fine, so I should have chosen my words better! Geez you're picky! And yes Pan is very old and she could have some senility, but she could've meant that most people refer to her as Mrs. Son and she's suggesting people should be less formal with her. You know like, "Please, you don't have to call me Mrs. Son, just call me Pan." But some people are stupid and don't listen to her and then some aren't stupid and do just call her Pan. Therefore, then the statement would make perfect sense. Don't you think Psy?

It would, but how on earth would she be called "Mrs Son"? I didn't think that Japanese women kept their original family name upon marriage?

Plus, the woman in Goku's family don't seem to be allowed surnames. It's a conspiracy, I tell you.

You just always have to throw a wrench in all of my theories don't you? :(
