Dragon Ball Super
Summary
Warning : comprise pamperer for Dragon Ball Super chapter 103!Gokuis one of the most powerful warrior in the entireDragon Ball Supermultiverse , but even he ’s admitted that he ca n’t go on forever . Goku is always delirious to train with up - and - coming martial artists in the hopes that one day they will get even strong than he is , so that they can not only protect the world when he ’s go , but also give him a true challenge . In other Holy Scripture , Goku is looking for a desirable heir , and it seems the latest chapter ofDragon Ball Superjust corroborate who it is ( and it ’s not Gohan or Goten ) .
InDragon Ball Superchapter 103 by Akira Toriyama and Toyotarou , Goku is fighting Gohan on Beerus ’ satellite , gauging the specialty of Gohan ’s all - new transformation , ‘ Gohan Beast ’ . After some time , Goku is quenched with what he ’s see from fight Gohan , and decides to let some of the other warrior on Beerus ’ planet have a turn - including Vegeta , Broly , and even Goten and Trunks . When the all - out bash that ensues polish off up , the Saiyans decide it ’s time to go home , back to Earth , where they are scheduled to meetthe one person who will presumptively surpass them all : Pan .
Goku uses Piccolo ’s ki to channelise them all back to Earth through Instant Transmission , so when all the Saiyans suddenly appear by Piccolo ’s side , he tells them that he ’s on his direction to pick up Pan from school . Pan , who ’s only 3 class old at this point , is ab initio wary of Goku when she see him , as she ’s barely even touch her grandfather before . So , in true Saiyan shape , Pan immediately launches an attack on Goku , and while the experienced Saiyan easily stymie it , he ’s still noticeably impressed by her persistency and her forte .
Pan Already Proved She’s a Worthy Successor After Battling Goku’s Earliest Enemies
Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero
WhenPan gets abducted by the Red Ribbon Army inDragon Ball Super : Super Hero(which , chronologically , happened mightily before the events of the latestDragon Ball Superchapter ) , she was well - equipped to defend them off herself . It was Piccolo disguised as a Red Ribbon Army soldier who told Pan to affect to be scared and helpless , so that Gohan would show up and put a stop to what the evil governance was doing .
After the fighting began in Dragon Ball Super : Super Hero , Pan quickly dropped the facade of a incapacitated dupe and start dumbfound up Red Ribbon Army soldiers left and right , incapacitating them with swift thrill to the foreland like it was nothing - even more impressive , like it was a sport game .
OncePan bring together the fight , her actions perfectly mirrored those of Goku , who defeated the entire Red Ribbon Army single - handedly when he was a child . In fact , this comparison pee-pee Pan ’s actions even more impressive , as she was a lot younger than Goku when he took on the Red Ribbon Army , yet was equally in force in battle against them .
Dragon Ball GT Confirms Pan Has What It Takes to Be an A-List Z-Fighter
This view of Pan tapping into her reliable strength to blot out a Machine Mutant is fromDragon Ball GTepisode 17 , share by a YouTube sports fan account , Charbory Belton .
The events ofDragon Ball GTtake place five years after the final chapter ofDragon Ball Z , which means Pan is roughly ten years erstwhile at that metre . However , despite being younger than all the other Z - Fighters , Pan still springtime into natural action when the situation calls for it . After a wish is made upon the Black Star Dragon Balls , Goku , Trunks , and Pan have to fly around the creation and find them ( as they are scattered across the existence , not the Earth ) before the entire world blows up , as per the rule of using these alternate Dragon Balls .
During that major planet - hopping adventure , Pan fights alien mechanical man call in Machine Mutants ( including the vastly potent General Rilldo ) , a deadly cult do it as the Luud Cult whose leader could turn masses into dolls ( let in Pan herself ) , and she is even implemental in helping Goku unlock Super Saiyan 4 to kill Baby . In every means that weigh , Pan is the principal character ofDragon Ball GT , and her journey to becoming a cracking warrior like her grandfather is well charted throughout the serial publication .
WhileDragon Ball GTdid fail Pan ’s type by stopping just short of her really getting the case of fictional character development and mogul - upgrade she was due ( Pan did n’t even get to go Super Saiyan , for instance ) , it proved that Pan has what it takes to be an A - List Z - Fighter . More than that , GTlaid the groundwork for Pan ’s evolution inSuper . IfDragon Ball Supereffectively remakesDragon Ball GT- which many fans have called for - then it can take the awesome component of Pan and make them even better by leave her to officially become Goku ’s heir .
DBZ’s ‘End of Z’ is the Only Caveat to Pan Being Goku’s Successor (But It Doesn’t Have To Be)
Based on what was card in this late chapter ofDragon Ball Superand what was show in bothDragon Ball Super : Super HeroandDragon Ball GT , it seems likePan being Goku ’s heritor is a no - brainer . However , the one argument against it would follow from the events of ‘ End of Z ’ , which is the final chapter of theDragon Ball Zera .
During ‘ End of Z ’ , Goku excitedly joins the World Martial Arts Tournament , bear to encounter the reincarnation of Buu ’s pure evil side ( which Goku destroy inDBZ ) . The person Goku is excited to meet is named Uub , who is , indeed , the reincarnation of Buu . Goku fights him in the tournament to gauge his strength , and afterwards , Goku settle that he ’s going to go off and train with Uub for years in fiat to form him into a great warrior . Goku tell goodbye to his entire family unit and all his friends to take on this new pupil - admit Pan .
Pan begs Goku not to provide with Uub , but Goku just allege that he ’ll be back in the future , and then promptly leaves . Based on the oddment of Z , it seems Uub is the rude choice for Goku ’s heritor , not Pan , peculiarly when consider that he quite literally chose Uub over Pan when she beg him to stay . Sure , Goku cease up fighting alongside Pan after Uub ’s training is concluded inGT , but that does n’t automatically mean the same will be true in the future ofDragon Ball Super- or , does it ?
How Pan Can Become Goku’s True Heir (& How She Already Has)
Dragon Ball Superwill inevitably leave into the events of the ‘ End of Z ’ , which think Goku is go to end up education Uub no matter what . However , it ’s ill-defined what will happen after that compass point . While the series could simply lead intoGT , it seems more likely at this peak inDragon Ball Superthat it will rewrite its own persistence following the final stage of Z plot line . However , elements ofGTmay still be felt in this potential ‘ retool ’ , including Goku ’s involvement in Pan ’s training .
So far , Pan has already exhibit the traits of a true Saiyan warrior , as she never back down from a combat and is anxious to become the inviolable fighter she can . Pan demonstrate that by beating up Red Ribbon Army soldiers , and joining the World Martial Arts Tournament at the age of 4 , and jumping at the chance to go the cosmos to look for Dragon Balls . In fact , when look at Pan ’s many storylines , fan will observe one very important detail : Pan is the spitting icon of Goku .
Every dangerous undertaking Pan has been a part of , Goku practically did the same affair in his spring chicken . And now , it ’s time for Dragon Ball to bring their stories full - circle by making Pan Goku ’s true successor - a title she ’s more than earned .
Goku may train Uub at the end ofDragon Ball Z , but that does n’t mean Uub is specify to become Goku ’s ultimate successor . The same goes for Gohan and Goten , as they might be Goku ’s fry , but that does n’t guarantee them that spot either . However , Pan has more than proven herself desirable of arrogate the place ofGoku ’s heir inDragon Ballcanon , and the late chapter ofDragon Ball Superonly highlights that fact , as it may have marked the origin of an epic mentorship .
