* ActionGirl: Pan. Her power level has to be higher than Mecha Freeza's, as she was able to beat Android 20 easily, and was shown to be physically stronger than him. The only reason she seems weak is because Rilldo was stronger than Buu and the first BigBad was in Vegeta's body, and had several power-ups, making him stronger than Rilldo. All the big bads after that were even stronger than them, making her seem alot weaker than she would be against most everything in the galaxy.

* BadassFamily: While most of them are now retired from fighting, Goku's family still applies. Chi-Chi is still likely the second strongest pure human on Earth, Videl is the strongest pure human woman on Earth, Gohan could be the strongest anything on Earth if he applied himself, Goten could likely be just as strong as Gohan, Goku is the strongest non-fused character in the universe and is stronger than every single god in the universe, and even Pan has to be stronger than Freeza. Vegeta's family is pretty badass as well, seeing as Bulma was actually a badass at one point, Trunks has always been a badass, as has Vegeta.

** The series was originally intended to be a throwback to the light-hearted comedy of ''DragonBall'' and was supposed to stay that way for its entire run. However, the early episodes got bad ratings, so the studio retooled it to make it more like ''[=DBZ=]''. Obviously, whether this was a good thing or a bad thing is [[YourMileageMayVary a matter of opinion]].

Isn\'t the trope about chronological age?


* [[AbsurdlyYouthfulMother Absurdly Youthful Grandfather]]: Goku. Also, Vegeta still looks maybe 30. He's about a decade older than Goku, who is in his mid to late 50s. That would mean Vegeta is in his 60s, as is Bulma (or late 50s). So she's also an AbsurdlyYouthfulMother, as Bra is the same age as Pan, who is canonically 10 (while the way Bra dresses and acts (and her height) makes it less noticeable, it's clear she hasn't gone through puberty yet, due to that outfit).

* ArtisticAge: An in-universe version is done with Goku's biological age. Goku's biological age is never stated, but Pan thinks he's gone to being 3 or 4. Others think he's about 10. Pan's age is officially 10, but due to this trope, nobody's completely sure, due to other sources giving different ages (but she's supposed to be 10).

It is important to note that Goku is identical to how he looked age-wise in DragonBall, so it is likely he is the same age as he was when he fought Pilaf.

* ShootTheHostage: in an attempt to stop Super 17's rampage, Pan and Giru manage to block Dr. Gero and threaten him with death. Sadly, because Dr. Myuu secretly modified Hell Fighter 17 in order to make him respond to his and his only orders, Super 17 doesn't recognize Gero as his boss no more. Which leads to Gero's nth death at the hand of one of his creations.
