I watched the episode of GT today with the deer and Pan.

As weird as Toriyama could get, he never did anything that bad.

Low point of the canon? Quite possibly!

Caught episode 4 of GT tonight while watching the primaries:

Annoying robot friend continues to be annoying.
So here we learn that Goku's Instant Transmission ability no longer works because he's a kid now. Which, as has been discussed before, makes no sense because he's still retained both his adult faculties and the ability to sense and manipulate ki.
Now that I think about it Goku being rendered largely useless in a fight would have been a pretty interesting turn of events. In addition to forcing him to have to think of non-violent solutions to problems it would have pushed him into more of a mentor/teacher role for Pan and Trunks which I would have loved to have seen.
This is probably a good time to mention that the character design work in this show is really bad. Here's what our current villain's henchmen look like:
Goku and co seem to have forgotten that they can fly.
Pan to the man who curb-stomped the entire Red Ribon Army by himself at the age of 13: �If you start a fight more guards will come! THEN WHAT WILL WE DO!?�.
Wait. Wasn't Freeza the most terrifying thing in the known universe just a couple decades ago? I'm pretty sure any of our heroes could could kick his rear end at this point so why are they bothering to sneak around so much?
No really, Goku can quite literally blow up this entire planet with a misplaced fart. Why the hell are they so afraid of getting caught!?
Pan nearly starts crying because she got hit with an empty soda can. *groan*
Why are bulletproof characters bothering to dodge gunfire?
Soda can thing aside Pan is back to being kind of badass so there's that at least.
In my head-cannon the comically high bounties placed on the character's heads has less to do with them stealing their ship back and more to do with the fact that the villains are familiar with Sayan's reputation as a race of genocidal monsters.

Oh man, if you don't find his antics charming, things are just going to get worse. I also found him annoying and they just keep going back to him.

As for dodging bullets, that kinda makes sense, rifles and guns still sting, even if they can't damage them. It's kind of like asking "why are you so afraid of wasps, you aren't even allergic".

Former canon. Deuterocanon. A Dragon Ball anime. Whatever term you like, it's a real bad scene is the takeaway here.

Blaze Dragon posted:

Bra was always a year younger than Pan. At least, until the current movies and Super, where Bra apparently just stopped existing entirely, since by Resurrection "F" she should either be born or Bulma should be very visibly pregnant, and neither is true.

That's disappointing, since Vegeta being a dad is one of the cooler parts of the series, so kicking out one of his kids entirely is kinda lame. And wasn't she in the final chapter of DragonBall?

Implying that Toriyama remembers the final chapter of Dragonball.

Toriyama forgot 18 had blond hair. He'll remember bra's existence when someone from toei calls him around episode 53 like "so hey is bra gonna be in this or...?"

SirKibbles: Feb 27, 2011; I didn't like your old red text so here's some dancing cash.

I'm pretty sure Bra was older and then they changed it. She definitely looks older in the prologue at least.

Supplementary material puts Pan as being born in 779 (which is the same year Resurrection "F" happens, thus making Pan less than a year old by the movie), and Bra in 780 (hence why I said earlier that Bulma should be pregnant in R"F", but isn't. As well, she should be pregnant or Bra should be born by the current saga. Again, nothing).

Fun fact, 780 had a lot of poo poo happening. In the original timeline, Gohan dies to the Androids, and in the anime Trunks becomes a Super Saiyan. In Online, Pilaf tries to take over the world but fails again. And in the Super timeline, we have the Champa Saga happening.

Bulma can get pregnant in 780 and still have her in 780 you know

The weird power stuff with GT never stops being a thing.

Though I don't think Pan ever really gets that powerful, even in comparison to people like Tien and Krillin. So I doubt she'd was ever strong enough to fight Freeza on her own.

But seriously, if you go by how the characters act, Omega Sheron is barely any stronger than Demon King Piccolo, maybe. Demon King Piccolo at least destroyed a city.

Justin_Brett: Oct 23, 2012; GAMERDOME put down LOSER

Pan beats Android 19, so in theory she is stronger than Frieza.

Is the idea with Pan supposed to be that she doesn't even need to go Super Saiyan because Gohan was so absurdly powerful that he didn't even need to transform?

The idea is that Toriyama didn't know how to draw a girl super sayian.

Nope.

Though she is suppose to be very strong and loves battle if we follow the final chapter. Basically Goku's mini-me. Which makes sense it was his own Grandpa(s) that gave him his love of battle (Gohan/Roshi)

I really want to see where Super takes Pan ultimately. I hope its far, far away from the bullshit of GT Pan.

Rewatching DBZ in spanish. On the majin buu arc and I'm enjoying the poo poo out of it. Watching super gave me a new appreciation for the filler, honestly don't even mind it anymore.

I also randomly watched 2 GT episodes and hated it. GT loving sucked man
