I'm pretty sure that fixed it.

First of all, 18 would like to have a word with you.

Secondly, Toriyama intended for Pan to be ridiculously powerful (likely because he thought the idea of a tiny little girl wrecking everyone's shit was hilarious), but the jackasses that made GT decided to scrap that idea and make her beyond useless, which isn't exactly surprising since they did the same thing to everyone who wasn't Goku and Vegeta.

That's probably one of the main reasons Toriyama came back to work on the Super 17 arc, because it really seemed like a last ditch attempt to make the rest of the cast actually do something that had relevance to the story, 18 in particular.

Who? The killer robot who became soccer mom because the Baldy monk had a crush on her? 18 is my favourite Female character on DBZ, by far... i was just pissed on how she got underused.

It was to the point were she was used as an device to Fade out Krillin! It would be awesome to see they fighting side by side. At least that...! because god knows we aint gonna get an episode about their feelings on DBZ... that's not DBZ at all! We will have and Funny cartoony episode were Goku and Vegeta learn to drive though...

He's saying that she was awesome but the reason she got underused is because they wanted to cash in on the "Goku and Vegeta are the best just because they are" thing.
