At least Pan didn't become a Super Saiyan, unlike how Goten and Trunks becoming one. She didn't become one during the end of DBZ during the Martial Arts Tournament and sure as hell didn't become one during the entirety of GT.

However, as a kid I always justified Goten getting SS early was due to how I always thought that Goku had sex with Chi-Chi while he was still in Super Saiyan Mode. I always assumed that Goten was conceived somewhere during the 10 day waiting period Cell had for his Cell Games. Yeah I just assumed he was able to do it easily due to Goku having the genes in him at the time to go SS.

Eh, but still... Trunks and Goten should never have been able to achieve Super Saiyan level at their age.

It's at that point when what was supposed to be a legendary transformation was simply reduced to nothing more than a power-up. And that's... kinda sad.

Well, in the manga Pan was only introduced at the very end in the epilogue, and she was extremely young and clearly had very little training at that point (even far less than Goten and Trunks had), so of course she wouldn't be a Super Saiyan by that point in time. She didn't become one in GT, either, but GT is non-canon, anyways. I remember reading somewhere that Toriyama had said in an interview that he didn't even know what a female Super Saiyan would look like, hence why he could never picture Pan becoming Super Saiyan had the series continued past that point in time.

It would be sorta like in YYH if everyone started throwing around the Ensatsu-ken. It would kind of weaken the move.

MY ONLY DISAPPOINTMENT IS THAT RADITZ NEVER BECAME A SUPER SAIYAN  :light:

BTW, With all of this DBZ talk, I just remembered that there's a theatrical anime movie that's supposed to be coming out which apparently covers a point in time from the 10-year gap between the Buu arc of DBZ and the epilogue ending.

Its not just another special and its apparently being advertised and billed as a big deal to DBZ fans in Japan. I'm honestly not expecting much from this, but I'm still just curious enough to keep updated onto what the plot of this movie will be.

And we never saw Nappa turn into a Super Saiyan 3.

I love that the Jao Ensatsu-ken was only ever used one time in the entire series. Its a bad-ass move. I find it hilarious that the only reason that Hiei never used it before or again was because he despised how it somewhat resembled Kuwabara's Spirit Sword, as though he were insulted to use an attack that resembled anything that Kuwabara used. :sly:

I'm sure one of the latest video games does it. Along with the 300 other what-is characters.  :blush:

They don't. They only show SSJ3 Vegeta, Trunks, and Broly.

Awwwww yeeeeeaaaaah

Come to think of it, I still can't believe this isn't an option in the games yet. I mean, IT WOULD ACTUALLY BE A REASON FOR ME TO BUY ONE AND THEY STILL HAVEN'T DONE IT.

Well, they kinda sorta acknowledged the idea in one of BT3's menu's.
