A very perplexing question...

G-Villain · Post by **G-Villain** » Tue Apr 29, 2008 10:16 pm

I've considered many times the possibility of Gohan being SSJ2 in Movie 10 upon first transforming against LSSJ Broly. I've collected a surplus of my own observations and data supporting my theory, but of course it cannot really be proven because of the lack of lightning bolts in his aura after transforming. I'll just get to the question. Do any of you know of a reliable source confirming that Gohan is SSJ2 in that particular skirmish between him and LSSJ Broly?

No lightning= No SSJ2.

Gohan wouldn't be able to hold Super Saiyan 2 either for that long by Movie 10 time. The only time he ever became Super Saiyan 2 as a 16 year old was when he showed Kibito at the Budokai.

And Raki's right btw.

Read the lower half of the first post of this topic. Fellow forum member Duo went into quite a bit of detail on this.

In the manga, yes.

In the anime, that argument is terribly flawed.

Like I said, I hold my own view on this, and I have a good deal of it worked out in actuality. I'm well aware of what Duo has said and has brought up in numerous conversions, but even his points are flawed. I'm not here to start a debate on this. I'm just asking if anyone has heard of or knows a reliable source which may state that Gohan was SSJ2 in Movie 10. And it's funny because it says that he was right on the main site of Daizenshuu EX in the Broly biography I think. I know it's a crazy question for a lot of you canon lovers here, because I understand you're heavily showered with it in such an environment as this, that being the Daizenshuu Forum, but bear with me. So please, if someone has something to share with me regarding my question, it would be just wonderful.

Agreed.

No, there are no facts anywhere stating your theory is true.

The anime puts lightning on every Super Saiyan Transformation...

There's always lightning at each transformation, at some point.

I always thought the best way would be to look at the hair. SSJ1 Gohan has 2 bangs coming down on his forehead, SSJ2 Gohan has 1 very long and pointed one, like what appeared in the Babidi saga.

I don't have anything with me to clarify, but surely that's the best way to find out.

He's not a Super Saiyan 2 because Broly smacks him around.

Broly was previously at a level in movie 8 that owned post-RoSaT SSJ Goku, Gohan, etc. Hell, he took a full powered Kamehame-Ha from Goku at pointblank range to the face, it did nothing. Arguably, like SSJ Mark-III Trunks (sans speed), he was on par to SSJ2. Now he's recovered from as near-fatal a wound as any and as a Saiyan, obviously gets a natural zenkai boost. He can't outclass a SSJ2 Gohan whom isn't as powerful as he was as a preteen?
