The Evolution Of Pan: From Boy To Super Hero

In the Dragon Ball franchise, Pan is the daughter of Gohan and Videl, making her a quarter-blood Saiyan hybrid. In the Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero movie, Pan is three years old. She is kidnapped by the Red Ribbon Army, marking a traumatic experience that influences her disdain for Androids in Dragon Ball GT.

Pan is three years old in Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero

Pan is Gohan's daughter and Videl's only child in the Dragon Ball franchise. She is a quarter-blood Saiyan hybrid, inheriting her passion for martial arts from her grandfather, Son Goku. Pan is known for her incredible potential, surpassing even that of her father's.

In the Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero movie, Pan is revealed to be three years old. This is significant as it places the movie's timeline one to two years before the 28th World Martial Arts Tournament in the original story. The movie takes place after the events of Dragon Ball Super: Broly, with a time skip in between, during which Pan ages from one or near one year old to three years old. This time skip has left fans curious about the manga's timeline, as it is unclear if the events are taking place within the three-year gap or afterwards.

Pan's age in Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero is notable as it showcases her early development of powers and abilities. Despite her young age, she is shown to be walking, talking, and flying, reflecting the accelerated growth and abilities typical of Saiyans. Pan's training with Piccolo at such a young age further highlights her potential and dedication to martial arts.

The revelation of Pan's age in Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero adds an intriguing layer to the franchise's timeline and character development. It also raises questions about the placement of other events and the growth of other characters during this time skip. Pan's abduction by the Red Ribbon Army at three years old is a pivotal moment in the movie, shaping her deep-seated disdain for androids in Dragon Ball GT.

She is the daughter of Gohan and Videl

Pan is the daughter of Gohan and Videl, and the granddaughter of Goku and Chi-Chi, as well as Mr. Satan and Videl's mother. She is also the great-granddaughter of Ox-King and Bardock. She is three-quarters human and a quarter Saiyan, inheriting her Saiyan blood from her father, Gohan.

Pan was born in Age 779, in the months following the fight with Beerus. She is an energetic girl who loves competition and a good fight. She is also innocent and has to be warned by her parents to go easy on her targets, not knowing her true strength. She has a strong connection with her family, including her father Gohan and grandfather Goku.

Pan's name comes from the Japanese and Spanish word for bread, continuing her father's food-based name. It is also the name of a Greek deity and a type of instrument, so she also appears to be named after her mother and honouring Piccolo, Gohan's first mentor.

In terms of appearance, Pan resembles her mother with her hairstyle and eye shape, and her black eyes are inherited from her father. As a baby, her hair was tied in a tiny ponytail, and she wore a light pink onesie and a pink bib. As a child, she wore an orange gi that resembled her grandfather's, with a dark red sash, red armbands, and flat black shoes with white socks.

Even as an infant, Pan was able to unlock her reserves of ki and fly. At the age of four, she was flying around the world on her own, breaking her best records, and was capable of toppling a human male fighter. She is a talented fighter, having been trained by her grandfather, and later by Piccolo.

Pan plays a major role in Dragon Ball GT, which focuses on the bond between her and her grandfather. She is shown to have gotten stronger since she was very young, as she beat up a group of men at a hostage scene in the beginning of GT. It is unknown who trained her, but it is possible that it was Gohan.

She is a quarter-blood Saiyan hybrid

Pan is a quarter-blood Saiyan hybrid, born to a Saiyan-Earthling hybrid father, Gohan, and an Earthling mother, Videl. This makes her three-quarters human and one-quarter Saiyan.

Pan is the granddaughter of Earth's hero, Goku, and the world champion, Mr. Satan. She is the first female Saiyan-Earthling hybrid and has inherited Gohan's great potential. She has black eyes like her father and her facial features and short hairstyle resemble her mother's.

Pan has a strong connection with her family, especially her father Gohan and grandfather Goku. She is extremely independent for her young age, flying around the world without any family or friends, and displays a fearless attitude in the face of danger. She is also a playful child, easily amused, and takes delight in fighting.

Pan is a major character in the Dragon Ball franchise and has appeared in Dragon Ball Super, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT, and Dragon Ball Heroes. She is a powerful martial artist with incredible potential, surpassing even that of her father's. Despite her young age, she has shown advanced flying skills, able to fly around the world at high speeds as a baby. She also possesses superhuman speed, strength, and energy projection abilities.

In Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, Pan is three years old and is training with Piccolo. She has not yet learned how to fly but shows signs of having great potential for her age.

Pan is voiced by Yūko Minaguchi in the Japanese version of Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT, and Dragon Ball Super, and by Shino Kakinuma in Dragon Ball Z Kai. In the various Funimation English dubs, she is voiced by Susan Huber, Elise Baughman, Kate Bristol, and Jeannie Tirado.

She is kidnapped by the Red Ribbon Army

In the movie Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, Pan is three years old when she is kidnapped by the Red Ribbon Army. The paramilitary criminal organization makes a resurgence following their initial defeat by Goku, who was just a child at the time. Led by Commander Red, the Red Ribbon Army seeks to obtain the Dragon Balls and wish for world domination.

In the movie, the Red Ribbon Army kidnaps Pan, Gohan's three-year-old daughter, to lure out Gohan and the Z-Fighters, and ultimately wipe them out with their advanced Androids. This plot point is revealed in the official synopsis of the movie:

> "In the past, Goku destroyed the evil Red Ribbon Army organization. But their will lived on!! Now they're revived, the RR create the new androids Gamma 1 and Gamma 2, and begin their revenge. Piccolo soon notices this disturbing activity, and sneaks into the Red Ribbon base, but there he discovers an unimaginable 'ultimate evil weapon'...!! Pan is kidnapped in order to lure Gohan to [the] base. There, he too joins the fight, and an unprecedented super battle begins!!!! Where shall this death match lead?! And what fate lies in store for the Earth??!"

The kidnapping of Pan by the Red Ribbon Army is a significant event in the Dragon Ball Super franchise, leaving a lasting impact on her character. It is revealed that Pan develops a deep-seated disdain for Androids, as she witnesses her father and trainer, Piccolo, unleash their power to destroy the Androids who kidnapped her. This trauma is evident in Dragon Ball GT, where Pan treats the robot Gill poorly and displays aggression towards Machine Mutants.
