[@RobbertRobbert12345]

To be fair, it's probably easier to tell when somebody is actually holding back compared to hiding an entire transformation. Nobody knew Frieza was hiding three different forms even though they could all sense ki, but Goku knew Cell was holding back against himself and that Gohan was stronger than all of them even before going SSJ2.

[@TheFineKey]

@@RobbertRobbert12345 yeah I feel like holding power back in a transformation is a little different than walling it off behind a different form .. I think Frieza was in capable of using a certain amount of power unless he changed his form because his actual power was limited or handicapped till he uses his true form .. However I think the character flaw of vegeta is that he believes at all times he’s the strongest and what ever depth of power he senses in a person He things that it’s less that his because he isn’t showing his true power or he thinks that he can catch up to them in battle because he’s a saiyan elite warrior prince yadda yadda … his ego is why he makes that over sight… he can’t conceive of a being being so much more monstrously power full… and only at the end of Z and In super do we occasionally see him humbling himself to understand the possibility of this.

I feel like trunks should’ve also gotten furious. Just at the thought that gohan was everything to him in his timeline, and seeing him die once was enough for him to go wild. Knowing that gohan died again, and he was powerless to do anything about it, again, should have made him transform as well. But instead, he kinda gets ignored. Edit: gohans transformation kinda felt unnecessary to me. He didn’t really have anything to make him go as crazy as he did in the canon, so it just felt off.

Your first point about Trunks is very valid however your second point about Gohan not really having much of a reason to transform in the actual series doesn’t make sense, he had the fear that all his friends were going to die and he had no way to save them unless he unleashes his power then he had Android 16 who told him to let go of his fear and act upon it before he got stepped on by Cell which made Gohan feel that Android 16 was merely just an Android and was willing to protect live by planning on self destructing himself along with cell this then made Gohan feel that he has the responsibility to protect live against cell as an human and all of these factors I mentioned above pushed him to the edge where he just exploded and thus history was made

[@iamranch]

@@thenotoriousone8404 I meant he didn’t have a good reason in this video not in the original series. I completely agree with your point.

[@bibbobella]

I still really loved the suggestion given by some other youtuber. Why not have Trunks be the one that got killed? We saw that it ofcourse did affect Vegeta but the idea was basically to have the story go full cirkle. It more or less just went like this. "Trunks was trained by Gohan in the future and turned super Sayian when Gohan was killed" "He goes back in time way before Gohan obviously ever becomes strong enough to train him but seeing his old master he wants to spend as much time with him as possible." "They end up training together in the timechamper since Trunks and Gohan are both half sayian it made sense to have them trains perhaps after both had trained with their fathers before then." (They would need to either give them another day or maybe have Goku realise Gohan needs a bit more experience from other fighters and not wanting Vegeta to be the one to train Gohan for obvious resons) "Have Trunks and Gohan become close in the past as well" "Do the whole scenario with Gohan but instead of 16 being destroyed instead it is an enraged Trunks that can't stand seeing his master get killed while not doing again...again...." "Have him sacrifice himself for Gohan and THAT is what makes Gohan go super sayian 2 making the whole story come full cirkle"

[@christiancinnabars1402]

The Weavile You say that as if everyone else wasn't being slaughtered by those Cell Jrs as well. Vegeta wasn't too far behind Goku in raw power during the Cell Games. Yeah, Goku was already worn out by the time he had to deal with the Cell Jrs, but if he were way stronger(or even twice as strong as Vegeta like some people seem to believe), he wouldn't have been taking so much damage from the Cell Jrs' _regular punches._ The only one who was significantly stronger than the rest base-to-base was Gohan. The main thing holding Vegeta(and by extension, Trunks) back during the Cell Games was him using a far less efficient form. If he unlocked SSJ2, that would immediately be a non-issue.

[@ormod9558]

That makes no sense. If the Cell Juniors were just as strong as Cell then none of the Z Fighters would have survived. Cell was stronger than everyone except SS2 Gohan. Goku was using his full power during his fight with Cell and realized he couldn't beat him. Trunks and Vegeta were the only ones who defended themselves against the Cell Juniors and they weren't on Goku or Gohan's level. If the Cell Juniors were as strong as Cell, Trunks and Vegeta would have been beat just as bad as everyone else.

Although it was a very interesting theory, Goku ssj2 in cell saga is just imposible, the ssj2 was suposed to be like Gohan mistic powers in buu saga, it was something only Gohan could achieve, i think toriyama original idea was to leave Gohan as the strongest being in the universe and i dont think the original name was ssj2 it was only gohan ssj with his rage surpassed the limits, but the show had to continue and in order to continue he put the name to that new form and made Goku reached wich contradicts the words from Goku who already said that he already reached the limit of his potential in pure power, thats why they left the time chamber before time. This same aplies for Vegeta.

[@forastero54321]

@@dardosalinas4426 true, but as we all know-that didn’t end up being the case, which means that this “what if” video could have been the canon if toriyama wasn’t originally planning on trying to pass the torch to gohan; therefore, this transformation would be totally possible for goku knowing what we know now.

[@dardosalinas4426]

@@forastero54321 well in that case we must change what if and develope this scenario to be possible, and we have to go more deeper in the series, and instead of making Goku a low class warrior he should have the same potential of Gohan with hidden powers, the thing is that Goku is a low class warrior and his potential was very low although he compensed it with a genious mind to achieve more power, so instead of making him weak and with very low potential he should have get the hidden powers that Gohan has, and that would change also db history too, and also the others saga, so thats why i conclude that its kinda hard to make goku ssj2 in cell saga, because at that time toriyama had focused in the argument more than the charachters with power so he is very limited, unlike dbs where he doesnt need too much to detailed the argument of the power ups, so basically in dbs he is kinda free in dbz was very very limited and a bit evil you know with trunks and killing charachters that the audience loved, so yeah if we want to make this what if we should change all db arcs, because we are changing the base power of the charachter instead of being a low class warrior to a prodigy and Goku isnt a prodigy And besides toriyama was very tired of Goku at that time i mean i would too, he already esquished goku juice for so many years and if he want it to squishe more juice he would need to change the base power of the charachter and at that time toriyama was very delicated with the argument

[@forastero54321]

@@dardosalinas4426 it doesn’t have to change because up to this point in the series goku was set-up to be the legendary ssj (since broly wasn’t canon at the time). It’s thanks to Roshi’s teachings and philosophys, as well as goku’s tenacity that he was able to achieve such heights as the legendary ssj status. It isn’t far fetched to believe that he’d be able to achieve ssj2 at this point in time with the right circumstances. The only thing was that toriyama was setting gohan up to be the next mc by teasing his power, but you can still go the same route as in this video and it’d still make perfect sense as a plot twist goku’s plan, while still getting an ending similar to the original.

[@dardosalinas4426]

@@forastero54321 well his teachings also influeced but i dont think too much, yeah Goku managed to get ssj but when he faced frieza at his full power the breach between wasnt very far it was 125 million to 150 million it wasnt very far away, so this shows that goku even with the legendary ssj wasnt able to humillated his oponent like Gohan did to Cell that was 2 times and more stronger than his enemy, so this proves again mi point Goku was a low class warrior and also in order to stand to frieza he had to use the kaioken a technique that wasnt even from his race a technique from a god and also sacrificed his stamina and body, and it wasnt enough, if he had Gohan hidden powers then he would never require those techniques my point with this is if you make Goku ssj2 in Cell saga then you kinda destroy the bases of the charachter and also what makes Goku so especial, he was born weak and in order to stand a posibility to his oponents he needs time and a lot and also inteligence, thats why he managed to do ssj3 in 7 years, incredibly powerfull but not balanced as ssj, he has to sacrifice a lot of stamina and energy and when loses it he is very fragile to the oponent like majin boo, but his son in only a week managed to surpass him not only in power but in stadistics in terms of power he doesnt need to sacrifice energy or stamina, he is 3 times more powerfull than him and even doesnt have time limit thats just crazy how they show Goku is not a prodigy and its one of the reasons that i love Goku, he is weak but his love for the fights made him surpass his limits, and if you change that by making him go to ssj2 in very early time well you are saying that he is prodigy and well in the universe we know he is not, thats why i said if we want to make this what if then Goku should have hidden powers from the beginning in order to get ssj2 very earlier, if we talk about z, in dbs yeah it shouldnt be a problem to goku to achieve that form. Toriyama respect the limits of the power of his mc a lot of times, with kaioken,ssj for the first time, ssj full power, and also the last transformation ssj3 if you see all of this he made Goku sacrificed something of energy and damage his body in order to even inhale the same air against his villain and sometimes the power up he got wanst enough. Goku always need time to get this forms and strategys to get high levels of powers, while Gohan not too much, with one training of a saiyan Goku is managed to get stronger than everyone but he is not able to surpass the limits unlike his son or maybe the hibrid saiyans. So then again if we want to make ssj2 Goku in Cell saga, again in Cell saga, we have to change the bases of the charachter in terms of power and man thats a lot to change.

@Luis Suazo well gohan was paralysed by supreme kai too even if he breaks the kai's magic yamu would steal a lot more energy from him since he is stronger more power would get absorbed in less time and goku being goku he would still fight majin vegeta like he deid in original starting from warmup to full power

I remembered this story years ago brooo

[@reyrex4938]

Dunno why but I get this sort of “Tingle” when I see scenes of immense emotion, the kind where someone looses something/one they cherished so dearly they are consumed with rage to the point all other feelings become abysmally unreachable, tears from their eyes with a blank stare glaring at their target showing no expression at all no matter what happens. Mercilessly beating the opponent till they can’t muster the will to stand and even then not stoping. Lost to anger beyond return, the kind of experience that changes their personality forever more, making them cold and semi-unfeeling. A brand new being who doesn’t allow room for such mistakes ever again, Goku looked almost there but I could tell by the way he smiled after Vegeta’s failed attempt he’d return to how he always was after the fight

[@fffinisher6298]

[@nineteenct]

Cell instantly knowing how to use Kaioken would be such an interesting twist in some canon reboot with him. I mean Cell could probably use a new form like Frieza did, but imagining him training and then using 100x Kaioken or something would be cool

[@chengfu7063]

This could have been even more unique If trunks had been the one instead of Goku or Gohan or Vegeta since he never gets his due then sort of reverts to his ruthless Saiyan prince days waiting to take out Goku once more or Hercule actually winning with the ultimate bribe attack

I like this version more as it seems the story from the original DB progresses becoming darker and maturing hand in hand with the viewer (which now is around 30 years old), leading to a grown ass Goku which is no longer just a child and has now to deal with adult problems like fatherhood and afterwards the trauma of losing a son. That would have been dope.

This is a FAR Better End of the Cell Saga Goku needs to Learn True Regret of his actions to truly grow not as a Mentor and Trainer who only saw his son as a pupil but as a True Father and Man instead There is a Strong difference this is somewhat like the what-if Gohan die to Frieza on Namek instead of Krillin but this is much more profound

Neat story, my only complaint is that by the end of the story it ends up exactly where the canon story would have been anyway. You can argue that "Gohan will be more focused on being a warrior now" but this isn't all that different from the original version enough to really think in seven years of peace Gohan wouldn't go back to being a scholar anyway.

Honestly goku is a better father than vegeta if you think of it after all every parent has their ups and downs

[@CourtesyofBeyonder]

@@oogway223 Imo Goku is the worst parent (or atleast, the dumbest) to ever have, cause he literally left his son to fight Cell like "Yeah this would spark something in em" and even gave Cell a senzu like he doesnt care that the Planet will be dust. Just when you thought it was over, HE WAS THE ONE WHO CAUSED A FUCKING TOURNAMENT THAT ERASES UNIVERSES WHEN THEY LOSE

[@oogway223]

@@CourtesyofBeyonder Let's see he sacrificed his own life for his son twice He paid the price for his son mistake twice He trained with Gohan over a year to get to know him better He broke the rules of the dead twice as well in order to help his son (Even though 1 is non-canon) He believed in Gohan when no one else did If that doesn't make Goku a good father then Piccolo isn't a good father either because Goku did just as much if not more for Gohan than Piccolo ever did.

[@CourtesyofBeyonder]

@@oogway223 Now that I just remembered, Gohan had enough of his dad's plan and Goku punched his son. And then Gohan said "Piccolo would never turn his back unlike you!". It probably proves Piccolo is a better dad than Goku even though Piccolo is somewhat 1 year younger or older than Gohan lmao

[@oogway223]

@@CourtesyofBeyonder Also Goku giving Cell a senzu saved the planet and plus it was also the only way to defeat Cell and future enemies The reason is because when goku used the *IT* Kamehameha he used all his energy while Cell's barely lost any energy Cell even told goku to take a senzu bean because he knew goku stood no chance against him But Gohan was way stronger than Goku it was even said in the Manga by Korin that no matter how much training goku does he won't be able to surpass Cell but then after seeing Gohan's power himself he knew that the only one that could defeat Cell was Gohan And how was Goku supposed to know that Gohan didn't like fighting? The only times Gohan ever hesitated to fight was against a weakened Vegeta and then once in the frieza saga but other than that Gohan fought with no hesitation Also let's say Goku didn't give Cell a senzu And then Gohan was about to beat Cell, Cell would have blown himself up and goku would sacrifice himself and then since Gohan didn't get SSJ2 everyone dies Or let's say Gohan manages to kill Cell for good he would have said it was thanks to Goku weakening Cell and Gohan self esteem in his capabilities would stay low So honestly Goku is a good father with his ups and downs Also how was Goku supposed to know that the universes were going to get erased he can't see the future Sure vegeta did get some father character development but his bad outweighs the good

This makes sense low key since 1. His son is dead 2. It proves Goku wrong in his approach to push Gohan. This battle just wasn’t the time but Goku in his hopes to see his son excel never saw that. Like even in canon after getting yelled at from piccolo Goku had a small reality check that ended with ssj2

[@kanekikingstorm2113]

I mean with Frieza, he kinda did. He wanted to give Frieza a feeling of despair so great, that he wouldn’t be able to cause harm to anyone else ever again, because he’d have to be worried that Goku would appear at any moment

I see only 1 loophole here, only one, and its the fact that they used the 2nd wish to revive everyone that was killed by cell, of it were the first one, wouldn't that bring Gohan back as well? Unlike instead of using it with Goku? Then they would've had that 2nd wish for full use
