It is good his posts with the red tag were deleted.

All my topics must be a cool place to stay and share ones thoughts.

Vegeta however looks pretty much the same...he kinda always had that disadvantage with Super Saiyan forms. Adult Gohan also has Vegeta's issue he pretty much looks the same in all his states. Adult Gohan used to have two bangs to distinguish, but for some reason that concept was dropped.

I woulda liked SSJ2 to differentiate more between everyone who's not Kid Gohan, but overall it brought the cool lightning aura which was a really nice touch.
Agreed, it also doesn't help that Toei frequently messed up animating the lightning which only caused further confusion. To this day many think that Vegeta was a regular Super Saiyan when he fought against Kid Buu going simply by the anime.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

I think I would've liked if SSJ2 was Kid Gohan exclusive. I like it better as just ''Gohan's rage'' instead of just a standard Saiyan transformation. I also feel SSJ2's relevance was too short lived. SSJ2 was really only useful when Gohan used it to stomp Cell, but as soon as the next arc rolls around, not only does Goku and Vegeta have SSJ2 now, but it's a worthless transformation since Buu could take on a whole army of Super Saiyan 2s, and the transformation is quickly out done by SSJ3. Goku always has to steal the spot light :problem:

Was a SSJ2 Goku action figure ever released?
"Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime. It seems Dragon Ball has grown on me so much that I can't leave it alone." - Akira Toriyama on Dragon Ball Super

Maybe. Because I talked many other that said that he was only SSJ against him because the lack of lighting.

Other question... Was Gohan a Super Saiyan 2 against Dabura too?

In the manga there was no sparks for Gohan meaning he's not a SSJ2 against Dabura. It's very inconsistent in the anime.

Here's the picture showing SSJ 2 Gohan in Broly.

Son Gokou Perfect Version.

I've seen a picture of powerup-posed figures of Goku in various states, including Super Saiyan 2 (released in recent years). If someone can provide an image, that'd be great.

Shame that this version there are only two Super Saiyan and one Super Saiyan 3. Man, I hate how they treat the best transformation. :(

Nice thread, pal

Super Saiyan 2 is my favorite SSJ form too

Too bad that we won't see it in action more times in those upcoming movies

Agreed SSJ2 is the most aesthetic transformation, I only think SSJ3 looks good on Gotenks not on Goku.
