SSJ and SSJ2 differences.

Post by Amir » Fri Oct 27, 2017 6:16 pm

I have actually come across some real dumbasses on YouTube claiming that Cabbe did not go SSJ in the latest episode just because his hair looked the same as SSJ2. Is that really the main factor here? Vegeta's hair doesn't really change from SSJ to SSJ2' it's only the aura with the lightning. Not to mention there was an obvious build up to Cabbe's transformation with the lightning and the transformation from base was rather intense and seemed way more powerful than his regular SSJ transformation, implying this is a new form, and then Vados said he had evolved. Am I missing something here? Because the people in YouTube kinda made me scratch my head a bit.

He was SSJ2. They even re-used the same scene as Gohan's SSJ2 transformation in the Cell arc with the close up of his eyes/face.

Actually there's a slight difference in Vegeta's Super Saiyan 2 from his Super Saiyan, but you'll only notice it in the manga... Probably.

As for Cabba, no difference in fact, but he was Super Saiyan 2 moments before he got ring out indeed. If he gets Super Saiyan 2 in the manga as well, luckily Toyotaro will make the difference between both forms clearer.

Probably the biggest difference is that fans don't lose their shit when a character goes Super Saiyan, but they do when someone goes Super Saiyan 2.

It's a sure-fire way to tell, and is actually more consistent than checking either the hair or the aura.

He clearly did go SSj2, you could tell by the lightning. His hair was also a bit longer than it was in his initial SSj appearance, but ironically - not any longer than his SSj hair from the same episode :lol:

But there was everything you needed. The buildup, the aura with the sparks, the reactions by the spectators - Vados even said that he advanced further in his evolution, that alone should make it abundantly clear.

most of those dragon ball super youtubers are just casuals who like to pretend they are the shit, and that they have all the good information and videos about the show. i'll bet most of em don't even watch the show. they think just because they can research spoilers on google and rip off information from other youtubers it means they are actually good at youtubing. they are just trying to make the youtube cash and the average idiot thinks they are pro and religiously subscribes and likes their videos for no real reason.

unfortunately in their relentless quest for youtube cash, every one of the FUCKING people who actually enjoy the show get spoiled by their stupid click bait thumbnail and clickbait title. or they take a confirmed spoiler, and treat it as a fucking theory in their title and thumbnail, only for the viewer to later find out that it's actually one huge spoiler and ruin the damn arc for them. shit, i feel like beating someone up now.....

youtuber: "omg guys, goku totally went ss red in this episode!!!!"

smart viewer: "no duh? we fucking saw it *close tab*"

My advice to you is, don't waste your time. If they are in denial about a CARTOON, what else are they pretending about in real life?
