^Was that necessary? Please enlighten me, what is wrong with such an assumption.

You'd think people would notice Videl's abdomen glowing.

Why? Is a SSJ fetus giving energy anymore ridiculous than a fetus giving energy in general.

Perhaps the light from the other Super Saiyans passed through Pan, and Pan's energy passed to Goku through their light. If you have seen the scene, you will see that Videl/Pan was covered with the golden aura of the Super Saiyans, and after a while, the aura turned blue, and the Saiyans, along with Pan inside Videl (but not Videl) started glowing. Which IMO means that if Super Saiyan is really a requirement, then the majority of the 6 Saiyans should be Super Saiyans (the targeted Saiyan MUST be a Super Saiyan though, I suppose).

Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

What is so damn hard to believe about that? It's no more ridiculous than a fetus giving energy in general like I already stated.

You think as a fetus Image was a SSJ. No disrespect to your opinion and all but that's over the top even for dbz. Goten and Trunks got ssj at a young age but I don't think they was born ssj. I also think Pan was not ssj because at the manga chapter she appeared in it gave no hints of her power except it's higher then Dragonball Humans but weaker then Mid Saiyan Saga(Nappa Fight) humans.

I think Trunks and Goten were born SSJs. They had no trauma to cause a transformation, they just sorta had it so it leads me to believe they were born with it.

No need to get angry. It is more ridiculous then giving energy when you're a fetus. That's a new low for Dbz's SSJ form. That would be like Pan being BORN SSJ. Which is just plain up stupid IMO,.

It's really not that ridiculous. The Super Saiyan ki required isn't about having a lot of it, merely the ki from six different sources. Each person's ki is its own unique wave-length. Pan has a still-developing physical form and a soul from which ki can be created. Through Videl a piece of her ki was infused in Gokuu, just like with the others. Voila, Super Saiyan God.

A big deal, this is not.

Trunks we know for show they wasn't born SSJ. Chi Chi learned about Goten SSj through training(Anime filler but stated in the manga without the flashback). So we know Goten wasn't born with it. Maybe Goten got it from fighting Trunks during their play fighting. Vegeta wasn't even SSJ when Trunks was born. Trunks being ssj was for plot's sake tbh. Back to the point. Trunks might of gotten it from watching his father or once again fighting with Goten. So after he was 5 but before he was 8. I highly doubt they was born with it.

So you agree with Pan being born SSJ or you're making a point about everyone having differ energy?

But it's officially confirmed that they were NOT born Super Saiyans, they were born with the ability to master it at young age. Which means that they could easily trigger the transformation, not that they were born with it.

Pan is barely a thing. I can't accept her as a Super Saiyan at that point, not to mention that if she was a Super Saiyan in the 28th TB, Toriyama would probably show he as one.

The latter, although I don't think it matters whether or not the former is true. Shenlong never says they need ki from Super Saiyans.

Why the heck you advocate SSJs being required for the ritual then? 5 SSJ's and one base Saiyan fetus shouldn't get the job done.

Why though? This kinda logic tells me that SSJ God Goku was incomplete since a base Saiyan fetus was used to fuel that form.

Shenron said you need 6 saiyans. He never said SUPER SAIYANS. If I recall correctly they was going to ask Tarble. Last time I check Tarble isn't SSJ. [img]http://img_1.mangapicgallery.com/r/newpiclink/dragonball_heya_son_goku_and_his_friends_ret/1/5bd5b4ad7bc59e6abad338c4127e0c3c.jpeg?1[/img] So Pan is not needed to be SSJ. IF Tarble would have worked I'm pretty sure Pan would. Tarble isn't exactly strong. Most likely we can use the logic her energy combined with the Supa Saiyajin's ki which made her appear ssj since her ki is overwhelmed by it.
