Why Gohan can use Super Saiyajin

This is probably a topic for the movies, but all the evidence comes from the manga and guidebooks covering the manga, so I figured I'd just put this here. Anyway. It's been a mystery why for a while now as to why Gohan is suddenly able to use SSJ in these newer movies and GT. However, I think I've discovered the reason Gohan can use Super Saiyajin. Let's first look at how Gohan become's the mightiest warrior:
Strength Checker
 
Chapter: 496 (DBZ 302), P4.1-2
Gohan: “Ho-how can I turn into this mightiest of warriors!?”
Elder Kaioshin: “You transform into that Super whatever-it-is a lot, right? You’ll be fine if you just get the gist of that, and throw in a kiai.”
Gohan: “The gist of Super Saiyan…I-I got it…!”

The underlined statement at first glance seems totally pointless, but when you consider what a Kiai is supposed to be, I think you'll understand where I'm going with this:
Daizenshuu 7: Special Attack Dictionary
 
This attacks one's opponent by firing an invisible, gigantic bundle of ki. It is a technique where a super-fast bundle of ki attacks the opponent and sends them flying. Goku used it during his death-match with Freeza on Planet Namek.

A Kiai is a surge of incredible power, and Super Saiyajin is an amplification technique. How I believe this works is that Gohan begins to use Super Saiyajin to amplify his power, and uses a Kiai to unleash all of his energy at once. This process amounts to Gohan's ascension to the mightiest warrior, and is why not using a Kiai in the process will merely yield the usual transformation into a Super Saiyajin.

I'm getting really grammatical here but it does say "AND" throw in a a Kiai.

I don't even know what the Kiai is for anyways to be honest.

So its basically saying, get into the gist of going Super Saiyan...and then throw in a Kiai for good measure.

I know it says and. Becoming the mightiest warrior is going SSJ and unleashing all your energy in the form of a Kiai. If you don't throw in a Kiai, you just turn into a Super Saiyajin.

I always felt that Kiai in that context isn't referring to it as a ki technique, but rather as a yell.

Let's be real though, Elder Kaioshin doesn't know f*** all about Saiyan transformations.

Let's be extra real, at the rate Toriyama's going, the entire Boo Arc is going to get retconned.

Boo's no longer Bibidi's creation

Babidi is Bibidi's double

Gohan's going Super Saiyan

Vegeta's getting random rage boosts he was never implied to get before

You wait people, give a couple of months and I'll guarantee you Yamcha won't exist anymore.

He didn't need to power up to his Ultimate state.

It was never stated Gohan couldn't turn Super Saiyan after receiving his power up. There's no stated reason for why it gives him a power boost again, but I go with the fact that Super Saiyan merely gives him back the power he lost by not training.

-I never really believed Boo was Bibidi's creation in the first place. It just seemed too powerful to be manifested by a lowly wizard.
-Meh, it's really no different than Piccolo's situation. Piccolo refers to his former self as his father, last I checked anyway.
-Nothing really confirmed he couldn't.
-Yeah, I don't get this one either, but then, Vegeta was never given an opportunity to rage over a loved one.

I'm also inclined to believe he just meant a yell. I fail to find significance in Kiai's aspect as a technique.

Hey, remember that time Gohan yelled to transform into a SSJ2? I remember.

Again, sometimes I wonder if we all watched or read the same series here.

I would appreciate it if you could avoid being passive-aggressive, although given the way you've done so in practically every one of your posts in the past, it doesn't seem likely. (hey look, I'm doing it too)

Perhaps the Elder Kaioshin is saying that a yell will help him transform, perhaps like it has in the past, as you so aptly pointed out.

Given that Gohan's transformation to Ultimate is practically identical to every other transformation in the series, until someone can point out the effects of this Kiai (if it is indeed a blast of ki), I'm inclined to believe that the Elder Kaioshin simply pointed out that a yell might help to focus his ki. Excepting the part about "ki" that's what a real life Kiai is supposed to do.

Until someone can point out the difference between, say, these three transformations, that's what I'm sticking with.
