It does, but that's not really relevant. What the GT perfect files say is wrong because it's... well... wrong! They say nobody turned Super Saiyan 2 in the show. But Goku turned Super Saiyan 2 in the show. I can't find any other way to explain this. :crazy:

It's not like they can both be right.

Actually, they can. One doesn't change what the other says, however.

Now, what is there with-in the cartoon to suggest Gokuu is actually using Super Saiyan 2, when near as any of us can tell, no character model even exists for such a form.

But... how can both be right?

Both are official products. Of course, we're still faced with the question as to whether or not the cartoon is being properly interpreted. The Perfect Files are most clear that nobody uses Super Saiyan 2 in the cartoon. The cartoon is not so distinct in its testimony.

I meant both being right on the same topic, which they disagree on.

I said 'character model', meaning I'm referring to the cartoon as produced in 1996-1997.

We cannot define that they are actually disagreeing. Nobody refers to the Super Saiyan 2 form in the cartoon. As Gokuu powers up their is a slight change in his hair for a brief moment. That's no indication that Super Saiyan 2 is being used.

It's not just any hair change, it's his Super Saiyan 2 hairstyle and it was identified as such in the original manga. Though we can't be sure that the sparks are a sign of SS2, the hair definitely is.

I have to agree with Saiga for once. Goku did turn SSJ2 in the show. It was so obvious. Goku's hair had a fewer bangs which was exactly the same in DBZ. What Perfect File said was wrong. Didn't the Daizenshuu also have some contradictions too? If so, then Perfect File can't be trusted too.

For the record, Goku also used SSJ2 to further transform into SSj3 against Baby on his third encounter.

The reason I think that Gokū actually went SSJ2 there is because it was exactly SSJ hairstyle → SSJ2 hairstyle. I've analized that moment and can say that it wasn't simply a hair push-up because of powering up (or just didn't look so), because while all the hair seemed to have been pushed up at least a bit, exactly those few from which we identify Gokū's SSJ2 form were left hanging.

Was right, the SEC is fairly boring; Oozaru transformation card for SS Bardock. :/

Wow, why would you want to go from Super Saiyan to regular Oozaru? Lame.

That's precisely why ordinary men pursue the concept of perfection, it's infatuation. But ultimately I have to ask myself "What is the true meaning of being perfect?" and the answer I came up with was nothing. Not one thing. The truth of the matter is I despise perfection! If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

I have my work cut out for me, catching up on this thread from the beginning.

I have to say, thus far... even though I don't like card games (except rummy and poker :) ), Heroes looks interesting and fun to me.

Damned if I know how it's played, though.

I don't guess this is too important since we know he's coming, but here's his face. Slight design difference between most of the movie art for him:

It's a scan from this month's VJump! *_* Meaning the pages about the movie can't be too far behind.

Thank you for the link!
