Re: I've always wondered is this was ssj 2
One side of his head (the bangs I mean) looks like SSJ and the other SSJ2. Not really sure.
Re: I've always wondered is this was ssj 2
Yeah its really confusing i would say ssj 2 because the hair looks spikier, but the bangs look questionable
Re: I've always wondered is this was ssj 2
SSJ2 has spikier/sharper hair than SSJ1, so I'd say 2. Another way to spot the SSJ2 form is if there's lightning surrounding the character's aura. But then again, in the new Bardock special they added lightning around SSJ1 Bardock so I don't know if that's a reliable way to tell anymore.
Re: I've always wondered is this was ssj 2
The problem with the anime is that they draw both ssj/2 the same way so there's really no way to know
In my opinion the only time Goku and Vegeta used ssj1 in the Buu arc was inside of Buu

Re: I've always wondered is this was ssj 2
I want to say ssj2 but I don't know. Last time I checked which was a few hours ago when I went to go see BOG ssj2 does not have that middle bang. Also for some reason both ssj2 goku and vegeta did not have a lighting Aura only when goku went ssj3 he had the lighting aura.

I'd say it's not even Goku, it's the potara fusion of Gohan and Goku: Gokhan, or something. MAybe the potara isn't accidental.

He has too many bangs for him to be a Super Saiyan 2.
He is a normal Super Saiyan.

If it was from the manga then yes but the anime is a different storyDBZGTKOSDH wrote:He has too many bangs for him to be a Super Saiyan 2.

Take the Goku/Majin Vegeta fight for example,In the first part they were drawn as ssj2's but in the second part as ssj1's then in the 3rd part back to ssj2's

An animation error that goes on for 13 minutes ? Not likelyDBZGTKOSDH wrote:That was an animation error.

It's ssj2, but in the anime it's confusing after the Majin Bejita vs SonGoku fight.sintzu wrote:An animation error that goes on for 13 minutes ? Not likelyDBZGTKOSDH wrote:That was an animation error.

Then what do you want to say, that Goku's SS2 hairstyle is shapeshifting? Even less likely.sintzu wrote:An animation error that goes on for 13 minutes ? Not likelyDBZGTKOSDH wrote:That was an animation error.

Re: I've always wondered is this was ssj 2
Considering it was Studio Live (THE WORST)... I think it's safe to say, they just dropped the ball with the SSJ2 hairstyle, because every other studio got it right the first time. Last house messed up a few times too. I wouldn't go solely on the animation.
Re: I've always wondered is this was ssj 2
It is a bit difficult but it looks more like a Super-Saiyajin 2. And hair can move as well.

Re: I've always wondered if this was SSJ2
Super Saiyan 2 for sure. Noticed how Toriyama's art (in the manga) gives a sharp, edged facial look compared to the more calm, relaxed SSJ.
The picture shows Goku's face quite similar to Goku demonstrating SSJ2 stage to Fat Buu.
