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.


Would it even work like that though? You'd think using Super Saiyan 2 would actually be more beneficial for Gohan in such a case. He'd be taking less damage from Dabura which means less energy going to Majin Boo. Of course it becomes strange when its implied that the combination of SSJ2 Goku and Majin Vegeta are both giving Boo energy. When in fact, the amount of damage Goku takes should be the only thing giving energy to Boo.

It was that implication that these majin warriors are special and the damage they give to their respective opponents ultimately leads to energy to Boo. Instead Goku vs Vegeta implies it's both of them giving energy. You might as well have Dabura just beat up on some minions or have a little tussle with Pui Pui and Yakon if Babidi wants some energy.

Going Super Saiyan 2 and instantly vaporizing Dabura would be a lot more effective than fighting to a standstill with him. Yeast Kaioshin's fear of a sudden energy jolt reviving Boo would ultimately be in vain, since he'd wake up with a power lower enough for Goku, Vegeta, and probably even Gohan to obliterate.

IIRC there is a statement made by Gohan/Kibito suggesting all of his power wasn't restored at the Budokai?

Chapter: 445 (DBZ 251), P8.1
Context: as Kibito revives Gohan
Kibito: “Um…! He still hasn’t reached full power…This is bottomless power…At any rate, to think that there would be a human who moved with such gigantic, pure energy…This is why they wanted it…"


However, that was during the healing process, which continued after that.

Then you get the fail logic Funimation Dub having Gohan state that he's now stronger from that...so bad.

It does make you wonder if all of Gohan's power was restored or not.

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.
Nothing, even part of the Daizenshuu said Gohan was SSJ which makes Dabura on that level since he struggled alot.

Well it seems it was more a statement attesting to how big his ki is. I couldn't imagine a weakened, weak Gohan standing up to the likes of Dabura.

Well I don't mean he's only running at 50%, but more like 85-90% so for the most part I believe Dabra got the best from Gohan, but I believe Gohan would've been winning his fight had he eaten a Senzu instead.

No it doesn't.
You're speaking about the page on Gohan's transformations, which states SSJ2 was seen at the TB.

But Daubra's actual bio say he fought SSJ2 Gohan, it says it again in the anime guides.

Even if Gohan was a SSJ2, he wasn't anywhere near as strong as SPC. Why would Goku specify Gohan needing to access his anger if Gohan was using his full power during his battle with Dabra?

Dabura was just so badly skilled and slow that despite his huge power it allowed SSj/2 Gohan to put up a fight against him :innocent:

If Gohan as a SSJ2 was stronger than Cell (and we know this)
And weaker Gohan is fighting an enemy that is about as strong as that same Cell (as stated by Goku)

Goku tells Gohan to get mad like he was back then (when he fought Cell) - power up and beat Dabura.

There was basically no difference in power between Cell and Gohan. Gohan had the advantage, but he admits himself that Cell was a lot stronger than he thought and his previous confidence disappears.


Piccolo claims that Majin Vegeta may be stronger than Gohan was during the fight against Cell, basically telling us that the gap between the two isn't that large. Given the fact that Vegeta was willing to give his mind to Babidi in order to get to that level of power, it makes sense that he'd be a decent amount weaker, right? Yet, Vegeta seems to be under the impression that he'd dismantle Dabra easily.

Chapter: 455 (DBZ 261), P10.5-6
Context: as Gohan fights Dabra
Vegeta: “Damn it…this is pissing me off! Alright, I’ll finish this!”
Goku: “Don’t, Vegeta! Let [Gohan] do it. It ain’t like he’s completely losing.”

Goku supports Vegeta's ability to win alone, and instead focuses on letting Gohan win himself.

So, in summation;

Majin Vegeta/Goku aren't that much stronger than CG Gohan
A glimpse at Goku's SSJ2 scared Vegeta into going to Babidi for more power
Vegeta was more than confident in his ability to take out Dabra quickly (something that Goku supported as well)
Gohan was losing against Dabra

Piccolo is stupid and unreliable in the Boo arc, didn't you know?
