Krillin stole Pan's chance to shine.
The best moment by far in Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero was the pivotal moment when Pan, dodging a rogue laser from Cell Max, takes flight for the first time. It was an emotional scene and point of pride for the heroes, but in Dragon Ball Super's retelling of the battle, this moment never comes. Pan was a major focus of the most recent Dragon Ball movie, which is why it's such a shame that her biggest moment was cut from the manga.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT When the lasers threaten Pan in chapter 97 of the Dragon Ball Super manga, she turns and tries to run away. In the distance, Krillin encourages her to fly, but she responds that she can't fly yet. At the last moment, Krillin swoops in and carries her to safety. While this is a great moment for the usually useless hero, it ruins what was originally a beautiful moment for Pan.
Krillin Saving Pan Undermines Her Super Hero Character Development Krillin has a reputation for not being the handiest of heroes. His uselessness is even joked about as he hangs back from the battle to protect Pan and Bulma. He makes a point to try and help further when he starts towards the main battle, thinking the heroes will need backup. But once Cell Max's weak spot is hit and his lasers fire, Krillin flies back to save Pan before she can get hit.
Unfortunately, getting some use out of Krillin is not nearly as satisfying as how the original scene played out. Pan flying for the first time was an emotional punch for Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero audiences that helped balance out the chaos of the battle playing out. This symbol of Pan growing up offered a spark of hope in otherwise dire circumstances and upped the stakes for the heroes. If they didn't win, Pan's first flight would have also been her last.
