Isn't efery character in all of Dragon Ball basically a cheerleader for Goku? Or cannon fodder to buy goku time to come beat up a guy?

at least Gohan, Vegeta, Piccolo, 18, 17, Krillin, even fucking Yamcha, all get character arcs. Trunks and Pan do literally nothing but get beaten or just cheer Goku.

spoilerTrunks gets humilated multiple times and even gets possessed by Baby, the only good scene with him is when he kills General Blue with Goten. Meanwhile, Pan was literally designed to be a damsel in distress character in this, and she gets some unfunny sexual harassment jokes with a literal creepy otaku turning her into a doll.
