I thought they still trained a fair amount in between Z and GT

GT just doesn't care about SSJ2 enough to mention it, though.

I mean it was a huge deal when Gohan did it, then when Oku came back from other world he already had SSJ 3, and SSJ 2 was nothing.

But I don't think those two achieves it in GT because they were already slacking during the 10 year gap between Buu's defeat and EoZ. They possibly had a little training but not enough to transform imo. Gt they definitely didn't train since Goten was more focused on dating and Trunks took over Presidentship of Capsule Corp. Space fighting and Bebi was the best thing that happened to them getting stronger wise but no SSJ2. Edited by Professor Gohan, Oct 4 2012, 03:44 AM.

But instead of expanding on that and revealing SSJ3 towards the end of Buu, AT just said "to hell with the Super Saiyan look-alike!" and brought in SSJ3 right off the bat. SSJ2 totally got the shaft in the series. It's not even present in some videogames.

Might not be present, but Goku kicks * in that form compared to his base, ssj, and ssj3 in games as it has the perfect balance. It irks me that Vegetas ASSJ form plays better than him as a ssj2 though and the same for 17 year old Gohans I just wish AT would have given each Saiyan their own second and final level that was unique. Vgeta ASSJ, Gohan ssj2, Goku the ssj3 appearance, Trunsk ussj and the like so they would each have their own recognizable second and final form Edited by Kblo247**, Oct 4 2012, 10:02 AM.

FireFox Favourite Manga Sailor Moon	I forgot what site it was on but there was something that stated AT originally wanted Gohan to beat Cell as normal(Ultimate Kid Gohan with no old Kai) but his editor made him give Gohan SSJ because it was cooler and then SSJ2 so he could have a new form to show off when his anger was released instead of Gohan just getting angry as a Super Saiyan. SSJ3 came about to one show off Buu's power and to give Goku something cool to fight Buu with.

I reckon they could but w/e.

I kind of wish we'd seen them fuse in GT. They were going to but Goku decided to change his whole attitude of having them fight the villain that he'd had in Z and said he'd beat Baby himself. It would be hard to imagine what Gotenks' personality would be like as an adult now that Trunks had completely lost his cocky attitude and become a bit of a pansy and Goten had become much less Goku-like. If in Z fusing amplified their cockiness then maybe fusing in GT would amplify their laziness and reluctance to fight. Edited by 90sDBZ, Oct 7 2012, 04:25 PM.

He powered up after that and managed to at least move Baby's head, even if Baby still called him a flea. I can't find the pictures, but his aura gets bigger, at least. When Goten was possessed by Baby, he at first couldn't get Gohan to take him seriously. Then he powered up, forcing Gohan to transform.
