As a seasoned Dragon Ball fan who’s grown up with Goku, Piccolo, and the rest of the Z-Warriors, this recent revelation about the orange bandana connection between Gohan, Pan, and even Goku has left me truly amazed! It’s like Akira Toriyama himself reached out from beyond the grave to drop a hidden easter egg for us hardcore fans. I’ve spent countless hours dissecting each panel of every manga chapter, and this detail completely slipped past me.


As a dedicated Dragon Ball fan, I’m absolutely blown away by the current buzz surrounding the series. A promotional artwork has got everyone talking and revisiting Dragon Ball GT with fresh eyes. This captivating piece is divided into eight panels, each showcasing characters from Dragon Ball Z – Goku, Piccolo, Vegeta, Krillin, Gohan, Android 18, Videl, and Mr. Satan. However, it’s the depiction of Gohan that has fans abuzz! He’s dressed in his iconic “Mr. Saiyaman” superhero costume, and a striking detail catches our attention – the orange bandana on his head that perfectly matches Goku’s gi color and, remarkably, the same orange bandana that Gohan’s daughter Pan would later wear during her adventures in Dragon Ball GT!

The significance given to this minor detail is remarkable because it challenges the general belief that Dragon Ball GT and its off-canon occurrences diverged significantly from the rich mythology Akira Toriyama initially crafted for Dragon Ball. Moreover, it’s a significant find since the white bandana worn by The Great Saiyaman in the Dragon Ball Z anime series became an iconic symbol, especially when he wasn’t wearing his helmet with its visor and antenna. Discovering manga designs from Toriyama that suggest a deeper narrative through a single item is intriguing. Now that Toriyama has passed away, this revelation adds a layer of poignancy to the theme of “legacy” within Dragon Ball, giving it a new dimension.

What Is Dragon Ball GT?

In the animated series Dragon Ball GT, “Emperor Pilaf has long sought the Black Star Dragon Balls, rumored to be twice as powerful as regular ones on Earth. Finally obtaining them, he was about to wish for world domination, but was interrupted by Goku. This interruption caused Pilaf to stumble over his wish, leading him to inadvertently transform Goku back into a child.

Following the fulfillment of the wish, the Black Star Dragon Balls disperse throughout the cosmos. But Goku learns that Earth will be destroyed if they aren’t returned within a year. Alongside his granddaughter Pan and an adult Trunks, Goku embarks on a journey across the universe to locate the scattered Black Star Dragon Balls and prevent Earth’s annihilation.

Dragon Ball GT, serving as a continuation after Dragon Ball Z, unfolds following its conclusion. On the other hand, Dragon Ball Super happens before the time-skip finale of DBZ. Despite ongoing discussions about its non-canonical nature, scenes such as Gohan’s daughter Pan adorning his bandana and embodying his heroism make this classification seem peculiar. This becomes even more questionable now that Dragon Ball has premiered a new anime series, Dragon Ball Daima, which shares some similarities with GT, as Goku and his companions are turned into children while they search for a fresh set of Dragon Balls.

You can watch Dragon Ball Daima on Crunchyroll and other streaming services, weekly.
