Evolution of Super Saiyan 2 Gohan Transformation

[@jetstreamvik9570]

Kakarot was the first and only one to have the moment where 16's chip shuts off and I wonder why it took them almost 20 years to add that little detail and I always wondered why it was omitted from every game, it's the exact point where everything that was 16 effectively dies for good.

[@xRostro]

I would say the head squishing is more impactful though

[@Gentledegenerate]

@@xRostro agreed, that frame of 16 crushed head under cell foot was the last thing Gohan seen before transforming

[@Gentledegenerate]

I think it may have been too much to animate, given the old technology for the older games or maybe they felt it too brutal to include

[@adams3560]

Yes, the chip shutting down and Gohan’s tears are important details that only Kakarot got right.

[@rotion3]

Gohan’s SSJ2 transformation hits different in the best way possible when his tears are included in the scene. Its not just anger that triggers his transformation, but the sorrow and realization that his pacifistic nature won’t stop Cell (i see 16’s death as a metaphor for that). That and 16 comforting him that it’s okay to let a just cause fuel his anger and let it all out, right before dying I’m front of Gohan’s eyes mixing in the pain of loss.

[@adams3560]

Exactly. The Kakarot version captured that really well.

[@Kiara_Wrestler]

🙌

[@robjef622]

He didn't want to become a ruthless bastard, but Cell gave him no choice. The tears are from the realization that he's going to have to stop being nice and whoop some ass.

[@GrubKiller436]

Exactly which is why it makes no sense that the writers made Gohan less of a fighter after this moment. This was the perfect moment that was supposed to make Gohan mature and give him the realization to become the protector of earth.

[@adams3560]

@@GrubKiller436 I think the idea was that Gohan just isn’t a fighter, it’s not his thing at all. He had to be pushed to the absolute edge, literally having someone killed in front of him, to get him to go all out. It was brutal, and we haven’t seen anything like it again in the series.

@@adams3560 That seemed to be a theme with most of the early DBZ games. They'd just leave Perfect Cell with his Imperfect or Semi-Perfect voice. That and making the Kamehameha yellow instead of blue.

[@AshVsEvilFred]

This was due to the fact that in Japan, Cell only ever had 1 voice, his voice didnt change between transformations. When the games were made, there was only 1 voice file for Cell and there was nothing they could really do when it came time to dub.

[@Igneeka]

Nah Kakarot's music is better, you can't beat the classics, it probably doesn't mean much for Americans but for the rest of the world it's good to hear that music with that scene

[@ceecee6521]

The music in Kakarot gives it more of DragonBall-ish feel to it, but Android 16's glitchy voice is definitely a must-have. It really "Cells" the idea that he'll completely shutdown at any moment, but refuses to go until he's able to deliver one final message. It's even got more of an impact when he smiles right before Cell stomps on him.

Honestly that’s the best line… seems like it’s only used in the English dub of the anime though. Cell really twists the knife in Gohan’s heart with that line by taunting his inability to act up until that point, compared to the other generic “scrap of junk” lines he uses everywhere else. I’m gonna guess it was one of the creative liberties the localization writers took (like Goku’s I am speech) but it just highlights why I think the dub is the definitive way to watch Z

3:08 Why did cell sound like he was in his imperfect form

[@ZexalDSJAsh]

I always thought this. Kid Gohan's DBZK voice works perfectly for him as a kid, but when he becomes this Gohan during the Android Saga, the Kid Goku/DBZ Gohan voice works well for his age. Edit: Also, what is going on with Cell's DBFZ voice? That is so weird.

[@adams3560]

The one in Budokai 1 has good music and it’s a decent scene. But Android 16’s head gets crushed entirely off screen. It also lacks the chip landing next to Gohan and shutting down. Also, it just sounds like Gohan is powering up like normal rather than shouting in anger when transforming.

[@MAJ0ROCEL0T]

I expected to see it get progressively better each game and quickly became disappointed remembering how uniquely great Budokai was at the time and was brought back around by the stunning Kakarot scene

[@GarciaXVLegend_04]

In all honesty I find both Budokai One & DBZ: Kakarot Scenes of Gohan's SSJ2 Transformation to be pretty well done. The others, not so much, as much as I love FighterZ to look like the Anime it just falls short. I for 1 did have a tough time getting use to Colleen's Voice for Young Gohan, took me out of it as well but didn't think she sounded "terrible" since it was her 1st Time voicing Gohan but of course some people will say otherwise (I, myself, also do think Stephanie's Performance was better but I think they should've kept her for Young Goku so that the 2 Characters should be easy to distinguish). Judging by Colleen's Voice for Gohan here in DBZ: Kakarot is a huge improvement than in the DB KAI run, props to her, I think what also helps is that the Music didn't play until once Gohan explodes in anger plus I love the detail on C16's Death where you see 1 of his Parts (a Microchip I'm guessing) blinking until it stops so it can transition to Gohan's Anger being 'clicked' plus the Graphics Animation was spot on for the scene. Budokai One's Scene for Gohan will always be in a special place in my heart despite "Graphically Speaking" didn't age well but the Music & C16's Glitchy Voice fits perfectly for it.

[@patriotsfan122480]

I don’t think Colleen ever really sounds “terrible” just that she doesn’t have the right voice for Gohan in general. I also think because I grew up with Stephanie as the VA for Gohan that’s kind of just going to be the voice I always try to hear whenever Young/Teen Gohan is involved. I’ve heard Colleen in other things and overall she’s a very good voice actress. To me, personally, she’ll just never be the right fit for Gohan even after all these years.

Infinite World actually had a pretty good version of this, but why does Cell sound like his Semi-Perfect form. That really just takes me out of the moment. FighterZ is really good too, but clearly restricted by time constraints since it plays before a match so it can't go too long. Kakarot's version is done really well, but that title card kills the moment. It would've been better to save that for the end of the cutscene.
