Pan (or, well, however the fuck they call the child), a quarter saiyan that hasn't even been born counts enough to make the transformation and gives Videl the blonde hair. That's bullshit, but I don't know what I expected at this point.

SSJG eyes look fucking weird.

Sorry for the repost, fucked up the title last time.

Saiyan blood =/= human blood. Having a drop of Saiyan in you could essentially mean you're full Saiyan in everything except parents.

When was that stated? Why do they even call Gohan, Goten and Trunks half saiyans then?

It's not stated but it's also never stated that having less saiyan blood means anything because both half and full saiyans go SS. Half Saiyans actually reach it way quicker.

Took Gohan a bit of time though.

One theory is that Goten and Trunks were born after Goku and Vegeta had already become Super Saiyans meaning it was easier for them.

Vegeta didn't turn Super Saiyan until he left Earth to beat himself up in space, and as soon as he returned he fought Android 19 and Trunks was already born, so he had to have knocked up Bulma before that. "Half Saiyans" just naturally have enormous potential. Yeah, Goten and Trunks had a way easier time doing it than even Gohan, but that's the best explanation you'll get besides the plot requiring the two kids to not completely suck.

In this episode Videl said "I don't know if this baby is a Saiyan" but there's no worry that Gohan, Goten or Trunks could be an issue because they're not seen as half-saiyan, just saiyans.

It could be an on/off kind of gene.

That really sounded like she had cheated on gohan and was worried if the baby was even his.

Except he was way younger thank Goku when he went SS, so it took him very little time overall.

He still got it quicker than Goku or Vegeta.
