Nothing about Goku and Vegeta teaming up on Dabura was ever mentioned.

Just like that ‘Dabra’ jerk…[ ] I’m saying that this ‘Dabra’ guy doesn’t seem as bad as you two feared. Looking at his attacks and movement outside earlier, it seems that if we just watch out for his spit, then we should manage something. I can’t call Kibito anything but a bumbler for getting done-in like that…”

Vegeta: “Hmph…Even so, he’s not an opponent [he? we?] can’t win against. [Gohan]’s so pathetic…So much so that he was stronger as a brat…”
Goku: “He really did slack off!”


No matter what, he was far beyond Cell at this point, as Goku stated 7 years ago he would be "a frightening opponent"

I've presented the Kiri measuring device's estimate of SSJ Goku (with aura) and Dabura's lack of intimidation several times now. If he was only on-par with SSJ Gohan who is weaker than Goku then that should have been cause for alarm, both for Dabura and Babidi whom I would assume knows the Kiri readings of his subordinates. From there, giving a low estimate of SSJ2 Gohan's deterioration to the Buu arc should put him close to Super Perfect Cell, at least in my opinion, and then put Dabura slightly ahead of Gohan.

Having said that, they later confidently let Gohan vs him one on one, despite knowing how weak he's become. Vegeta is addressing them and himself as collective individuals.

If Vegeta is insinuating that all of them can handle Dabura as SSJ2's, and you think he's even greater than SPC, Gohan should have had his a*** handed to him. They were deluded in thinking Gohan on his own could take Dabura. There's no reason for Dabura to hold back when his sole mission is to get energy for Majin Boo. 7 years ago Goku couldn't beat a suppressed Perfect Cell. That's probably the level of power he's referring too.

Akira always drew Super Saiyan 2's with a surging bio-electric aura, pre and post the Gohan vs Dabura fight. He's clearly depicted as a MSSJ. Ever since his scene at the budokai, where he transformed out of anger for Videl, Akira lacked barely any distinction in hair design.

I can't see any way for Dabura being SS2 tier since all evidence points that he's not.

Literally everything says he is, including the Daizenshuus and the anime. The story even STRONGLY suggest he is.

Gohan emasculated Dabra by Freudian standards and by in story standards, snapped his sword in half.

That doesn't happen with huge power differences.

滅Are you frightened?

Dabura can be just under full powered Cell if he felt he could take him the next round. Gohan never used Super Saiyan 2 on Dabura but did on Cell. Yet Goku points out to Gohan to get angry like he did against Cell (hinting his son needs Super Saiyan 2). Be aware that Dabura hasn't seen this form so he's confident in beating Super Saiyan Gohan, not 2.

Gohan was an SSJ2.
He is stated to be putting out MORE power when he was fighting Dabura than he did at the TB with SSJ2.

I believe that was anime filler.

If Dabura was trying to gather energy, I don't see why he'd hold back.

"I am the bone of my sword."

Let's take a look at Dabura's glorious intelligence.

1.) Though Piccolo was a piece of trash while Base Saiyans were worthy enough. (For you Piccolo>Base Saiyans people)

2.) Thought Super Saiyan Goku was just..glowing.

3.) Thought Majin Boo was trash and was going to wreck him.

4.) Thought Gohan was trash despite the fact that he was put on the defensive the first part of the fight (that we see) had to resort to magic and tricks to get the advantage and gets his own sword broken. Honestly the only reason Dabura even had an advantage in that fight was because Goku suggested it.

5.) Despite barely being able to handle the weakest of the lot, Dabura thought he was going to take on all three Saiyans, plus Kaioshin I'm sure and win.

6.) Despite talking about how he was going to handle everything and get energy, he wastes so much time Babidi tells him to hurry, noting that if Boo was here, this wouldn't have even be an issue.

Honestly, Dabura is more full of s*** than Super Beerus.

At least Dabura's power didn't change episode to episode.

"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the war room!"

Gohan was stated to be weaker than his Cell Games self, and by a noticeable amount as well. Considering that Dabura got no substantial shots in with this weaker version of Gohan (who was in SSj, not SSj2), this is evidence enough to say that he wasn't even close to Super Cell.

Dabura definitely would've been focused on inflicting damage on Gohan and not simply screwing around because inflicting damage on the opponent is how Boo gets energy for revival.
To put it bluntly, Dabura most certainly was at his limit, or was at least close to it.

However, Gohan limiting his ki output by only being in SSj and not in SSj2 could be explained by him not wanting to feed Boo, if Gohan indeed felt that he was strong enough in SSj to beat Dabura.
