Pan

Pan first appeared as an infant during the final chapters of the original Dragon Ball manga, already demonstrating the ability to fly. By the time of the 28th World Martial Arts Tournament, she was a spirited toddler who showed flashes of incredible strength and energy control that far exceeded what most human fighters achieve in a lifetime.

In Dragon Ball GT, Pan took on a significantly larger role as one of the three main characters alongside Goku and Trunks during their quest to recover the Black Star Dragon Balls. Despite being the youngest and least experienced member of the group, Pan proved herself repeatedly through her courage, resourcefulness, and surprising combat ability. She fought against numerous threats across alien worlds, though the series often used her as comic relief alongside the pilaf-form Goku.

During the Shadow Dragon Saga, Pan played an important emotional role, serving as one of the last people to see Goku before his departure with Shenron. The epilogue of GT showed an elderly Pan as a grandmother, proving that the Son family legacy continued long into the future.

In Dragon Ball Super, Pan appeared as an infant but still displayed remarkable power. During the Resurrection F arc, she was shown flying through the sky while being cared for by Piccolo, and her latent energy was strong enough to be sensed by experienced fighters.

Despite never achieving a Super Saiyan transformation in any canonical material, Pan is an exceptionally powerful fighter relative to her age and experience. She can fly, fire ki blasts, and engage in hand-to-hand combat with opponents far larger and more experienced than herself. Her fighting style is aggressive and direct, reflecting both her grandfather's fearlessness and her father's hidden fury.

Pan's quarter-Saiyan heritage gives her access to a deep well of latent power. She demonstrated the ability to channel ki before she could walk, and by age four in GT, she could hold her own against alien warriors and robots that would challenge most seasoned fighters. Her potential remains one of the great "what if" questions of the franchise, as the series never fully explored how powerful she could become with proper training.
