How Old Is Pan In Dragon Ball Gt

Let's talk Dragon Ball GT. Specifically, let's talk about Pan. And even more specifically, let's talk about how old she actually is. It's a question that seems simple, but quickly becomes a headache.

The "Official" Answer

Most sources say Pan is around 10 years old in GT. Makes sense on paper, right? We know how much time passed since the end of DBZ.

But hold on. Does she *really* act like a 10-year-old? I'm not so sure. I've got a theory, and it might be a little controversial.

My Unpopular Opinion: She's Older Than You Think

Okay, hear me out. What if Pan is actually mentally and emotionally older than her chronological age?

Think about it. She's constantly traveling through space. She's battling super-powered villains. She's basically living a life no normal kid would.

Trauma can age you, folks! Pan has seen things. Things no 10-year-old *should* see.

Also, Saiyan blood might play a role. Maybe it speeds up maturity in some weird way? I'm just spitballing here.

Exhibit A: Her Independence

Ten-year-olds need constant supervision, right? Not Pan. She's practically running the show sometimes.

She's making decisions, piloting spaceships (sort of), and arguing with Goku like a seasoned pro.

That level of independence seems more like a 13 or 14 year old, maybe even a bit older in some respects. Tell me I'm wrong.

Exhibit B: Her... Attitude

Look, Pan has a lot of sass. A *lot* of sass. It's endearing, sure, but it also feels... mature.

It's the kind of attitude you see in teenagers who think they know everything. And honestly, maybe she *does* know more than we give her credit for.

Maybe that Saiyan blood makes her wiser beyond her years. Or at least, gives her the confidence to act like it.

What About Dragon Ball Super?

Okay, I know, I know. Dragon Ball Super throws a wrench into everything. Especially with Pan now.

But let's just focus on GT for now, okay? We're allowed to have our own headcanons, right?

Besides, Super doesn't change the fact that Pan in GT feels older than 10. End of discussion! (Just kidding... kind of.)

Final Thoughts

So, how old is Pan in Dragon Ball GT? Officially, she's around 10. But in my heart (and maybe yours too?), she's older. Wiser. Sassier.

She's a battle-hardened space traveler who's seen too much. And that deserves a few extra years, even if they're just imaginary.

Maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part. Maybe I just want to give her more credit. Whatever the reason, I'm sticking to my guns. Pan is older than you think!

What do you think? Am I crazy? Let me know your (hopefully polite) thoughts!
