...what am I even DOING here?
#38626: May 7th 2016 at 8:08:41 PM

Well, it looks like it's a 'babysitting Pan' episode. Pilaf gang is involved, a lot of shenanigans are probably going to happen. But there's one point where baby Pan has a Battle Aura. A white/clear one, but still. It's clearly implying the baby is pretty strong.

And if Baby Pan is strong, it'll be even more likely that grown-up Pan will be strong. Unless this is all just a Call-Forward to GT Pan. Which would be terrible.

Pan first came onto the scene in the original series when she's revealed to have flown across the entire world. She was four years old at the time. I'm not shocked that she's a juggernaut even as a baby.

Ya know, Pan could potentially be very strong, maybe even stronger than Gohan was at his peak...

GT ruined that idea, tho. tongue

I don't know...Pan was able to restrain Dr. Gero to the point that he was shocked that she was that strong for her age, so taking the new movies and Super into account, that would mean she was already stronger than Goku was in his base during Battle of Gods, since he never surpassed Frieza in power. That also means that Pan at the age of 9 would have been stronger than Frieza, without needing Super Saiyan at all; seriously, give her more training, a view more years of experience, and either Super Saiyan 2 or 3, and she would possibly rival if not surpass Ultimate Gohan in power.

Hell, give her Super Saiyan God, and there's a good chance she'll be as strong as Beerus.

What's the deal with those weird sounds Freiza and Cell's feet make when they walk around?

Just the walking sound effect for evil monster characters, I assume. I've always wondered what they use for that.

Well this didn't take long to find, though it wasn't what I was looking for.

This sound effect doesn't make much sense for Freezerator, also I don't ever recall him walking apart from that one time.

They didn't even use this for any form of Boo.

Ah yeah, Yamcha almost ruined everything and caused the destruction of Earth. That might be the most significant thing he ever done.

In the manga, King Kai says he's giving Yamcha, Tien, Piccolo and Chaozu tougher training than Goku got.

Also. Is Bulma touching her boobs when she says she's glad she's not a Namekian?

That's.

I mean, it isn't exactly out of character.

"Together we'll have no trouble defrosting this Freeza" holy shit Piccolo made a pun.

[up][up][up][up]Yamcha being a huge fuck up who almost screws everything seems to be one of the things from the manga that's sort of their but not really ever played up that the anime people like to make like it's their entire deal. Like with Chichi being a terrible shrew.

In the manga, King Kai says he's giving Yamcha, Tien, Piccolo and Chaozu tougher training than Goku got.

Really? But as far as we know, they never learned the Kaiouken right? How could they have gotten tougher training than that.

Sounds like another moment where Toriyama had something else planned, then changed his mind.

No time wasted teaching them a technique that would've probably liquified their bodies in the real world anyway, meaning, they focused entirely on increasing their base powerlevel instead of learning super complicated techniques.

I mean. King Kai says that they have to make him laugh.

And the narration caption says it will be Tien and Piccolo's greatest challenge yet.

Maybe they never did, or it took them too long to learn anything.

It only took Goku six days to get to Namek. So Piccolo wasn't there for much more than a week.

[up] The Kaioken couldn't do much to Piccolo he wouldn't be able to regenerate.

Also, Tien says that he can't surpass Goku at the same training regimen, so what he plans to do is learn the technique and put his own twist on it.

Besides. Do we actually know Tien doesn't know the Kaioken? We don't see him fight much after Nappa.

Well, what if it exploded his head?

He can't regenerate that.

On a completely different note, Cell could probably use the Kaiouken.

Cell could probably stretch his arms and we don't see him do that either.

We only see Piccolo do it like. Once. Maybe twice.

Heck, Cell could probably stretch his tail. That would have been useful when absorbing people. Have more reach.

Regeneration is meaningless if he can't use the technique because it cripples his body when he uses it and he has to regenerate.

I don't think that's an issue for Piccolo. He regenerated his entire body from his head after Trunks accidentally shattered him and he turned back to normal.

"Kaioken - oh shit my body is crippled, I have to regenerate - Kaioken - oh shit my body is crippled, I have to regenerate - Kaioken - oh shit my body is crippled, and I can't regenerate anymore because the Kaioken exhausts me and regenerating is exhausting and I haven't been able to do anything because the Kaioken turns my body to mush before I can actually use it to do anything"

Or, in other words, if he didn't learn it, it probably didn't work for him.
