Whatever the case, I couldn't be surprised if Bra could do it as easily as Goten and Trunks did, assuming she actually fought/sparred/whatever like they did.
The Daizenshuu state that they can transform without training. Can't check right now though to make sure, but it was either in D2 or D7, or both, and it was either said for Trunks, or for Goten, or for both.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter.

Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Really? I don't remember that, but I'd be interested to see what it said. I couldn't find it in the places I'd expect it to be, but I'm sure someone will know where it's from and post it.

For Bra I always say that if the need rises she can go SSJ or even SSJ2 at is at least Buu sags Vegeta level.

For Pan I say either she can go SSJ and SSJ2 or she will have ultimate later.

And there it is:

Daizenshuu #7 wrote:Son Goten
Characteristics
A boy filled with energy, just like his father. He loves Gohan, calling him "big bro, big bro", and the two often play together. He prefers play to study. Even without training, he is able to transform into a Super Saiyan.


Trunks
Characteristics
The Trunks from the tragic future is serious and dutiful. Meanwhile, the one in the present is extremely different, being obstinate and full of bravado. He has surprising power for a child, including being able to transform into a Super Saiyan without even training, and managing to hit his father Vegeta once.

Come on. Even if Bulla/Bra can go SSJ2, let alone SSJ1, she'd be nowhere near Buu Saga Vegeta's level. She never fights, or trains. She has the potential to be at that level, but as of now not even close.

I'd say yes. Going off my "Stronger the Saiyan at time of sex = stronger the child" theory, Bra has more potential than Pan seeing as she's still half Saiyan like Trunks is. She may even have more potential than Goten and Trunks if she had Pan's End of Z attitude.
