No, Pan cannot go Super Saiyan.
Despite having Saiyan blood, Pan never achieves the Super Saiyan transformation in the Dragon Ball series. This is a consistent point throughout Dragon Ball GT, where her role tends to be the catalyst for events, with Goku ultimately resolving them. According to the reference:
Though Pan has Saiyan blood, she never becomes a Super Saiyan. Dragon Ball GT has an episode where Pan is turned into a doll, but that episode established the pattern of: “Pan sets the incident in motion while Goku resolves it.” So it would break that pattern to make Pan a Super Saiyan and strong.
Here's a breakdown of why Pan doesn't achieve Super Saiyan status:
Pan's Role in the Story
- Pan is often depicted as a character who gets into trouble, which then requires the help of Goku or other more powerful characters to resolve.
- This pattern allows the writers to showcase the strength of other characters, particularly Goku, as opposed to making Pan a main powerhouse.
- Giving her Super Saiyan transformations would break this established narrative structure.
Table summarizing Pan's Super Saiyan Status
| Characteristic | Details |
|---|---|
| Saiyan Heritage | Yes |
| Super Saiyan Transformation | No |
| Typical Role in Story | Initiator of conflict, requiring rescue |
| Series | Dragon Ball GT |
Key Insights
- The reference highlights a specific example where Pan's role is to set in motion the incident rather than resolve it.
- The storytelling pattern prioritizes other characters' strengths and resolves conflicts, which would change if Pan was a Super Saiyan.
In conclusion, while she possesses Saiyan genetics, the narrative of Dragon Ball GT does not include Pan going Super Saiyan. Her character is designed to contribute in other ways, which often lead to the display of strength and resolution by others.
