I'm almost positive "knocked up by super-powered alien, gains super-powers from blood exchange between mother and fetus" has been done before. There's probably precedent.

In any example I could think of remotely similar to that she looses the powers after the baby is actually born. And it's not like Pan specifically was the cause of Videl "going Super Saiyan" she was just a conduit the ritual.

[up][up] I can actually think of an example and she lost the power as soon as the child was born.

I'm SURE Marvel or DC's done it before.

I have no opinion on Videl's hair turning blonde during the ritual.

I also don't care much for Videl.

I didn't see the scene but it sounds like a nice touch for what it was. I just don't get trying to make it more than that.

A GIF of the scene was posted here the week that episode of Super aired. That's the only reason I know about it.

I haven't been watching Super at all. I've been thinking about start up soon though.

Videl will finally give birth and it turns out to be a son instead of Pan. He then goes super saiyan before beginning to walk.

If Videl went Super Saiyan...

She's got a powerlevel of, what, 300, tops? That's 15000 with the x50 Super Saiyan bonus? That's just about enough to maybe succesfully get dust on Krillin in a fight.

Well, she'd probably be stronger than Yamcha. She might even be on Tenshinhan's level.

Tenshinhan level isn't really that much better than Yamcha in the grand scheme of things.

Edit: Also, if that wasn't a joke (which I assume it wasn't because of the other part) why would she probably be stronger than Yamcha? That honestly seems far-fetched to me.

Because Yamcha's done exactly fuck all after getting fisted by Dr. Gero while Tenshinhan has constantly been training (presumably). Also, the last time we saw a PL for either of them, they were just barely over 1,000 if memory serves, and neither of them got a Guru boost. At most, I'd put Tenshinhan at 20,000.

Because Yamucha doesn't train anymore and nobody knows how strong anyone else is.

I feel like it's kind of a pointless argument since there's no true measuring stick anymore anyway for any of the humans. Even Krillin's strength is kind of questionable because even when you consider his Guru-boost, he's also slacked off on training for 8+ years just like Gohan.

#33770: Feb 4th 2016 at 2:43:14 PM

[up][up][up]That's a nice number to pull out of nowhere. Tobias Drake has been over how Tien's training doesn't actually seem to get him anywhere so I won't go over that again. Regardless, my point was based more on Videl and we have no reason to think that's she's strong enough that even 50X multiplier would put her on either of their levels.

[up] True, it has no official source, but we know that Tenshinhan was at 1,830 VS Nappa and you'd think that eleven or so years worth of training (nearly a year of which was spent on Kaiou-sama's planet) would do something and that's way lower than Krillin's last known number of 75,000.

I figure he's about as strong as Krillin because that's how power levels work in this series. See: Piccolo suddenly and inexplicably becoming dozens of times stronger than Goku as soon as he hit Super Saiyan.

Oh, by the by, why do I get called out when I apply a pseudo random number to Tenshinhan but Tobias doesn't get called out when he applies a pseudo random number to Videl?

When did he do that? Pushover does that fairly often and people have more than once called him out on it.

Even if it is that exchange allowing her to become a Super Saiyan would be the kind of nonsensical bullshit I'd expect out of a bad fanfiction.

See, this is why we argue about things.
