Buu Saga Gohan Vs Super Perfect Cell: Who Would Win?

[@83jbbentley]

Cell was just a more polished fighter with no experience just bioengineered to be the best. The Gohan vs Dubura fight was a watermark to how sloppy his instincts had become. I think Super Perfect Cell would overcome him as Cell knows how powerful he is.

[@kuru-yami9416]

If they fight and no villain stuff happens like cell kills videl or something , cell wins, if cell decides to be foolish and do just that tho, gohan wins

Do you think that Super Perfect Cell would be able to match the power of SSJ2?

[@derekclawson5707]

Dr Gero is an amazing scientist and it's incredible he created several experimental fighters that can wipe out ssj but a sick mind and he passed that down to Cell as a creation especially. While Cell was induced with alot of useful copycat techniques he also had a lot of glaring mentality flaws thanks to all the personality traits infused in him including pride, ego, narcissistic personality disorder etc.

[@Vazio3]

You could argue he got those flaws from the androids he absorved. He started to become more confident if not cocky after absorbing 17. His fear when Vegeta was pounding him was similar to how much 17 was fearing cell after getting his ego shattered.

He actually looked at him like ‘bring it on you bitch’. It wasn’t until Gohan got injured that the fight took a turn.

[@R.E.factor]

@@reptilian_geneticistall that is implied with that statement is that he received a power up. A multiplier of 2x is not stated. And it’s a bad assumption. It’s a zenki, which is also stated by cell. We know zenki boosts allow a Saiyan to increase their power to match the enemy or threat that nearly killed them. If Gohan held back his power as a SS2 then Cell had an increase to that level of power Gohan was at. Cells boost could be 1.5, 1.7 or whatever. Hell it could be 2.5 if you believe Gohan got more than the 2x boost with SS2. Either way, SPC still wasn’t stronger than Gohan at full power.

[@AlldeLucas]

Great job! The way I see the only moment Gohan went all out was with the last Kamehameha, and considering he had only one arm to channeling his power, we probably didn’t see his max at that time.

[@philw3039]

I think the fight could go either way, but I do lean towards Gohan for a couple of reasons. 1) I'm in the camp that the story implies Kid Gohan was significantly stronger than Cell even after he became Super Perfect, so Buu Saga Teen Gohan should have still been at least even or a bit above SP Cell in terms of power. 2) I've seen it argued that Cell has better fighting sense and has more techniques, but he has couple glaring weaknesses. Like Vegeta and Frieza, Cell is both extremely arrogant and temperamental. He only shows good fighting sense when he has a substantial advantage. We've never really seen him fight someone on equal terms (not counting his final beam struggle with Gohan). The closest we got was Goku and Cell was still holding back. When he was losing against SSJ2 Gohan, who was way stronger, Cell quickly lost all fighting sense and immediately tried to power up as much as he could, abandoning all strategy and technique. Fighting someone more or less evenly I could see it going two ways: Either Cell starts to get the upper-hand, becomes cocky and makes a crucial mistake or he gets frustrated that he can't gain the upper-hand and becomes increasingly reckless also leading to a crucial mistake. Either way he's prone to giving away the fight. 3) For some reason, people sometimes state Cell would get a zenkai boost either from coming back from the dead to fight Gohan or recovering from injuries during the battle. You don't get a zenkai coming back from the dead. Cell got the zenkai boost because he never died, he was just reduced to his core. Cell's ability to get zenkai boosts from battles is basically negated by his regeneration. He never gets "seriously" injured enough to receive them. Likely recovering from an attack that reduces him to his core is the only way he can get one. 4) This part is mostly speculative and a bit headcanon-y but hear me out. While Teen Gohan is overall weaker than Kid Gohan I think he might have some advantages. He does seem to be more mature and has lost some of the timidness that was holding Kid Gohan back during the Cell Games. Kid Gohan was extremely daunted by his own power and seemed only to be able to use his full power while enraged. While that made him a very formidable fighter, it also made him much more prone to being clouded by his anger and losing his judgement. By the Buu Saga Gohan seems much more comfortable using his power consistently. His fighting skills are rusty, but he's able to fight with a clear and level head while still making full use of his power (mostly). In that regard, I think this version Gohan is well-suited to fighting Cell who tends to attempt to either take advantage of his enemy's pride (Vegeta) or their lack of confidence (Trunks) with mind games. Teen Gohan should be able to avoid both those traps and focus on the battle.

[@runin12]

first of all gohan is NOT stronger than spc that is just blatantly wrong, not only did spc literally one shot gohans arm and yes he was ON guard but its stated in several guide books that cell is the strongest once he appears post zenkai, not only that you may say well gohan killed him, gohan was getting amped by goku during the beam struggle, now that we know spc was stronger that instantly kills the fighting sense argument, and with gohan being outright weaker than his cell saga counterpart, cell is most likely stomping him with ease

[@SRT_DRE]

@@runin12 you really typed a whole paragraph only to be wrong 😂

[@Darien4life]

@@runin12 you can't be that stupid. Gohan was fighting at 50% of his power during that beam struggle and still obliterated SPC. SSJ2 completely outclassed him at every point after ascending.

[@Veed.l0]

If Gohan doesn't get the job done after hanging with h2h and weakening him before going in with a big blast to completely disintegrate him, Cell might recieve another zenkai. This could go either way. This isn't even to mention Cell's advantage of z fighter's techniques and instant transmission. This may be more difficult than Dabura.

[@Corvolet5]

It's funny cause in Dragonball FighterZ Cell mentions he can't feel anything of Gohan's past power when they meet again. I know the game is not canon but it's still intriguing.

[@marcuscrowell6964]

​@@reptilian_geneticist ​There's so many assumptions here that I don't know where to start Neither one is EVER pressed in the fight between SSJ Gohan and Cell. Gohan never tries hard and neither does Cell. The only thing to scale that off of would be Goku and Cell's fight, and Goku's belief than Gohan is stronger than he is. Super Perfect Cell was NOT stronger than SSJ2 Gohan, not by a longshot. For one, when he comes back, Gohan is completely ready to throw down with him. He can sense Ki, he knows (vaguely, at least) how much stronger Cell is compared to before. He literally destroys him with one arm broken. SSJ2 Gohan was still leagues above Super Perfect Cell.

We never see an all out fight between Perfect Cell and SSJ Gohan, and we never see an all out fight between SSJ2 Gohan and Super Perfect Cell. You can say "head canon" all you want but I'm not even making any claims here, I'm just saying yours are unsubstantiated

[@AlldeLucas]

As I see the “losing half of his power” moment of Gohan, is like he probably didn’t lose any significant amount of Chi but, at the physical level, he lost the capability of channeling that chi on the fight. And yes, most probably the biggest lost came from his neuro-semantic state.

[@Aquilenne]

That makes a lot of sense from a grammatical standpoint. Power =/ Energy.

[@StevenJones851]

This makes Sense Considering he still beat Cell with one arm

[@collinleivas9605]

I personally see it as he lost half of the power he was using, but as we know he has more power than what he thinks he does, so it technically isn't half of his true full power.

[@sirsir9665]

Gohan's ki was cut in half because his self doubt as Goku said. To harness ki to the fullest you need to be in the right mindset and have confidence

[@ksiisking]

Baseless assumption, that's not how ki works. Losing an arm doesn't arbitrarily cut your ki in half. If that were the case then why didn't future Gohan, Vegeta, Piccolo, Cell, or Tien never mentioned anything about their ki being cut in half when they lost/injured their arm? Gohan is known for having confidence issues, it's apart of his character. Gohan's arm injury caused him to have a mental nerf and made him think he was at 50%. Goku later shuts down that theory by convincing him that he wasn't really down to 50% and it was all in his head. After Goku tells him this Gohan.

[@xmgentertainment]

Is my favorite moment of debora is in other world when he's picking flowers with bulma and chi chi

[@OurKindofEntertainment]

I'm giving it to Cell. Yes, I'm willing to bet that even with the drop in power that Gohan had during the 7 years between Cell's defeat and when he began going to high school; SS2 Gohan would still be above Super Perfect Cell. However, not by a huge margin... Gohan's lack of fighting sense will prove to be a handicap. Remember that not only was Cell Saga Gohan at the peak of his fighting senses (3 years of training with Goku & Piccolo + 1 year of Time Chamber training with Goku), but Goku fought Cell FIRST for the purpose of seeing Cell's fighting style/how he moved so that Gohan had somewhat of a blueprint to go off of when it was his turn to battle. Cell with the huge power boost after blowing himself up, Instant Transmission and his other bag of tricks including regeneration; Gohan would get stomped. Yes, I know he did SOME training with Goten to get his fighting senses back and body used to combat again before the tournament. However, you must remember that a good chunk of time was spent teaching Videl and Goten to use their ki in order to fly. From there, he and Goten did do SOME training but it really wasn't enough to get Gohan back in top form. Even Goku pointed out how sloppy Gohan was fighting against Dabura. I'm sure if Gohan put enough power into a single attack; he'd win. However, I think Cell would take the fight. We still don't know if Goku was comparing Dabura to Perfect or Super Perfect Cell. If it WAS S.P. Cell then Gohan is done for because of the sloppy job he did trying to keep up with Dabura!

[@justinarzola4584]

I think Gohan would win because a ssj2 is just naturally stronger than cell, even when Gohan was one handed when having that beam struggle with him he still killed cell( albeit with a distraction from Vegeta and motivation from Goku in otherworld).

[@sethdiedalongtimeago]

@@justinarzola4584 no. it goes both ways.

[@Valientlink]

Did you not watch the whole video? Gohan really didn't lose much power, he wasn't full power until attacking Buus shell because he wasn't rage amped like as a kid. I don't think Vegeta really understands the situations well and how Gohan can't just go full power whenever he wants to like Vegeta or Goku, pure bloods could.

[@OurKindofEntertainment]

​@@justinarzola4584see that's the thing though Gohan was at his best the moment he cut loose once Cell was distracted. Was Buu Saga SS2 Gohan stronger than one armed-han in THAT moment of the beam struggle? Honestly, I don't know... I mean we could look at the Kamehameha SS2 Gohan fired at Buu's ball and compare that to the one fired at Cell. I think Cell Saga Gohan still has the superior power. As Vegeta AND Goku stated to 'Adult Gohan'; we don't know what happens if he snaps/once you let loose there ain't nobody that can beat you. IMO the only time in the Buu Saga we ALMOST saw Gohan cut loose was when Videl was getting her skull crushed in her tournament match...

@@Valientlink Yes, I did. However, that still doesn't take away from my OPINION that one armed-han's Kamehameha at MAX power before Cell died was stronger than the one fired at Buu's ball.

[@josephlino9]

Great video topics lately, Mike. Like the video length too since I primarily watch/listen to your videos while doing choirs and whatnot.

[@Valientlink]

Likely Gohan. He simply powered into ssj2 at the tournament and as mentioned likely suppressed some as to not blow half the place up. Either way he wasn't rage amped like as a kid. If Cell killed people he loved and cherished like Krillin, Goten or Videl though, he'd probably surpass the power when he was a kid. Gohan snapped at 16's death and the idea that his friends will die if he doesn't let his power run wild. So it really depends what Cell does or threatens to do. Given he's got the genes of 2 Saiyans, especially Vegeta, he doomed himself the entire time, trying to awaken Gohan's power and then waiting until Gohan was ready to fight back one armed to fire off his Kamehameha. Even Goku who knew Gohan hadn't kept up on his training reninded Gohan to fight with his emotions and he'd never lose to anyone. Buu is a different story because nobody was prepared for him and ssj3 was basically retconned and is a pretty bad form anyway as we could see just how horrible the strain was and that Buu's regeneration made it hard to keep up. Regardless, Goku still had that much faith in his son's ability to generate tremendous power when he fights with his emotions as you showed. And since we're basically just not even thinking about Buu here, I think Gohan is more likely to win.

[@1KQ_]

Early buu saga Gohan was weaker than he was when he was 11, vegeta makes note of that leading up to the dabura fight. His ease into ssj2 is noted but that doesn't indicate he's kept that form as strong as it once was.

[@Xainfinen]

If cell was so much weaker than Gohan then how did a blast cell intend for vegeta cripple gohan so much to begin with?

Tien would win since Roshi was shocked by Goku's power against Krillin, which wasn't even his full power. Tien wrecked that same Goku at the start of the final match. Buff form wouldn't work because it lacks speed and the Kamehameha doesn't work against Tien, stated by Roshi himself.

Vegeta still getting slapped effortlessly even if Cell was on " E " is similar to how Vegeta vs Z fighters still couldn't kill him after everything was thrown at him. Cell was always outclassed against Gohan. Gohan still outclassed Ginyu in Super and could get blasted full power no death not training.

Which is why Vegeta ki blasts can be way beyond his ki level but he still can't tank against a higher ki level offense

[@censoredterminalautism4073]

Again, really depends on how it's written. I think Gohan is still stronger, and if Cell decides to have limited energy again he will probably lose, and if Gohan got angry he would annihilate Cell. But who knows? Maybe he will be stupid again and this time not be strong enough to win anyway. Maybe Cell could regenerate from almost nothing again and become Super Super Perfect Cell, or Super Cell 2. Maybe he could use a Kaiouken x100 Shin Kikouhou and one-shot even Ultimate Gohan. Maybe he could run away to space and train off-screen and come back as Golden Cell. Maybe he could become Cell-X. Maybe he could absorb 17 and 18 again and become Perfecter Cell.

@@Valientlink Well, yeah, that's why I said the outcome depends on how it's written, it would really go either way because Toriyama does what he wants and just figures out a way to get there. Gohan isn't even the major factor here, Cell himCellf is written incredibly inconsistently. And if he actually used his moves, he would have won very easily. Hell, you could even just write him to blown himself up again. Worked the first time. Though really, Dragon Ball characters behave pretty irrationally in general. If Cell wanted to, he could have just teleported to the other side of the planet and blown it up.

[@collinleivas9605]

A longer answer, basically I think Gohan wins more often than not. The Daizenshuu says Gohan when he first appears in the Buu Saga had not lost any power from back the Cell Games, later it says World Tournament SS2 Gohan is weaker than Cell Games SS2 Gohan due to not having access to his anger and not training: basically base to base Gohan is the same but due not losing his fighting sense and not being able to tap into his anger, his current SS2 is below the SS2 that killed Cell. Gohan then goes on to fight Dabura who Goku says is as strong as Cell, even tougher/stronger after seeing his magic (whether it be raw power or magic Dabura is a bit above Cell), in what the Daizenshuu says is a fairly even battle and the DBZ Dragon Box: Dragon Book Z Vol 6 says to be a difficult battle despite Dabura clearly possessing inferior power, meaning Gohan is either equal-ish to if not stronger than Dabura but again, he doesn't have the same fighting sense he once did so is struggling. I think Gohan with superior power should be able to win but due to being rusty Cell might be able to pull out a win unless Gohan taps into his anger in which case Gohan stands 3-0 against Cell.

[@TheBloodyNights]

Much like the fight with Radditz showed a person's power level can drastically increase to well over double their initial output when firing a ki blast. So while Dabura didn't attempt to block it or Ki clash he probably didn't have a lot of time to do so. And of course Supreme Kai would feel that enormous Ki as potential that Gohan could get even stronger, possibly strong enough to defeat Buu. However I think Super Perfect Cell would edge out Dabura. Cell has a plethora of techniques at his disposal, and is frankly a more skilled fighter than Dabura is when it comes to combat. Also I think it would be much harder for Gohan to deliver a decisive blow to Cell that would vaporize him completely. Personally I think Buu Saga Gohan could potentially lose to Super Perfect Cell. Gohan would have a slight power advantage. But his fighting sense would be lacking, and only the strongest of energy attacks would be able to put an end to Cell. As anything less than a Game Ending Kamehameha would most likely be dispersed with 17's ki shield, and even then that kamehameha might potentially be dodged by an instant transmission.

[@FunNHonesty]

A video on how strong is Cell Saga SS2Gohan vs Buu Saga Majin Vegeta and SS2 Goku? Love your channel.

[@gohanson27]

Great video as always. Gohan would still stomp Super Perfect Cell. SSJ2 Gohan was far more powerful than people give him credit for. Well explained in the video. However I have to push back on Gohan being SSJ2 vs Dabura. Reason 1. Gohan most trained transformation is Master/Full Power SSJ, the same look and transformation when he was at the World Tournment watching Videl getting beat up, spiky hair, gold aura, one bang, no electricity. Now look at his transformation when he was facing Kibito. The transformation was more "radical", untrained, more aggressive. Reason 2. Babidi. Babidi decided to go with Vegeta due to no damage from Dabura to Gohan. Example, Gohan powers up to SSJ2 at the tournament. They steal his power to provide to Boo. Dabura and Gohan engage in battle, he was not fighting at a level beyond SSJ which is why Babidi decided to go with Vegeta. Vegeta and Goku fight and produces more power to revive Boo. Gohan was only SSJ2 at the World Tournment in front of Kibito. Gohan was SSJ2 when he pulled the Z Sword. That's about it.

[@LSMMIKE]

Thanks. I actually made a video about this subject if you haven't had the chance to see it. You can find it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3WvYpt6oNWUgNk

[@Xainfinen]

​@@LSMMIKE I second what Gohanson27 said. Just because a guy was said to be around X in Power Level doesn't mean that he's going to be automatically at that Power Level when he fight. From what we can see from the fight Dabura probably isn't SSJ2 level and even if he was, he never went full power to warrant Gohan going SSJ2 as well. Gohan was SSJ, the aura make no doubt of that. He wasn't angry enough to go SSJ2 and double tap Dabura, the later simply needed the fight to last to siphon as much energy as possible, and was obviously not fighting seriously. This doesn't necessitate any dialogue to be understood nor is it up to speculation because it can be observed. That can be understood contextually as an observer and it's the basis to understand most of DB, it happened many times before this moment and it shouldn't cause confusion to anyone without bias. The problem are people taking inconsistency as canon, things out of context, and making logical fallacies. This make the ones who use critical thinking and don't have any dog in this fight pull their hair at how jarring some of these rationalisations are. This as always been my problem with this fandom especially when most of us are grown ass adults now, we're supposed to know and think better but I'm always disappointed. People rather twist things to fit their narrative than just accept what is actually discernible, that's why we have weird theories that are doing everyone a disservice. Here you're just doing the same and actually enable such behavior. You took 2 comments that are not explicite but treat them as such to support your argument, you state Dabura being around Super Perfect Cell's level & Kaio Shin comment on Gohan's power as if he meant that he was more powerful than Dabura at the moment you specified. You're not wrong but the way you use it as an argument is disingenuous. We all know that sensing someone power isn't always based on their active state, there is a depth to their Ki, and that's before any narrative convenience. But you take a vague throwaway exposition to not only build your argument on, but modify it to your convenience to support it when it doesn't work contextually. This manga as proven many times that things are not as rigid and more subtle regarding that exact subject, but not subtle enough to be up to that level of interpretation. At least not to the people with a modicum of discernment that don't have a problem with the narrative.... The event on paper reflect that, and actually do not support your arguments whatsoever. They're unreasonable if we have to modify a bunch of things to make them work, and literally ignore what is plain for all to see. It's sad that people would rather gauge if a character is in SSJ2 based on their hair bangs than the obvious easier other cues, or are unable to figure it out from a narrative perspective. Because the fact that he isn't doesn't suit their vision of the event, and they cannot come up with a pragmatic and logical reasons to make sense of what they see or to compensate for the lack of writing consistency. There is a number of segments in this manga that warrant this kind of reaction but Dabura vs Gohan isn't one of them. Sometimes the simplest more pragmatic answer is the right one, even if it's out of universe. It doesn't require any extravagant arguments that need a number of other unrelated things to be modified and interpreted differently than what they are at face value to make sense of it all. That is nonsensical and more akin to mental gymnastic than reasoning. So please be a better voice in the fandom.

I think we need to take into account the fact that Cell was just a more masterful fighter. The fact that he learned the instant transmission technique be seeing Goku use it 3 times (1st time as semi perfect cell as Goku saves Tien and Piccolo, 2nd time at the tournament when Goku blasts his Kamehameha, and the last time when Cell self destruct and got teleported himself) showed if he is at a similar power level as his opponent, he can outsmart them with his skills.

Why is this a question? Gohan owns easily. Gohan went through 7 years of growth, even if he doesn't train, his body and the potential his grown body allows him, overshadows Cell. Gohan was a child, he wasn't mature in anything, especially his body even if it was a trained body. What Gohan can achieve with his adult body compared to what Super Perfect Cell couldn't do back then would blow Cell's mind. ( You people underestimate how strong SS2 Gohan was back then and you're overestimating SP Cell by quite a bit) Kid Goku with less power than Gohan was beating beings that by earth standards would be considered Gods, speaking about King Piccolo here, and Goku's growth after that allowed him to beat Piccolo Jr. Sure you're gonna say yeah but Goku trains everyday and i'll say so did Piccolo Jr, so Piccolo Jr has an advantage over King Piccolo fighting adult Goku same as Adult Gohan has over SP Cell purely based on normal growth. If Goku as an adult could fight King Piccolo from back then he'd beat him easily. Maybe Gohan won't 1 Punch SP Cell but the same logical line of thought still applies. Gohan's natural growth increases his normal power and his potential. A Time Frozen Oponent vs a Time Progressing Oponent is always a victory in favor of Progress. An interesting thought is: can Cell improve mid fight like Hit? Hit took everything Goku had and still surpassed that and was still improving his power. So can Cell do that? This is hard to answer because during his fight with Goku, Cell was always superior in Speed and Power. Same as SSG Goku vs Beerus, Beerus is superior end of story here. So from that alone we can't say if Cell was improving mid fight because he was already superior. SO did Cell improve vs Gohan? Not initially, he was above SS1 Gohan with ease, even if anyone wants to argue SS1 Gohan could output more than shown, yeah boviously he could but he never did because he never wanted to fight. So for that first part of their fight, Gohan didn't really expend much energy at all. This is important for later when Gohan finally goes SS2. Gohan was basicly a fresh SS2 as opposed to a very tired fighter when he finally snapped. The same is true for Cell, Cell didnt really have to spend any energy to fight Gohan, so again we can't say Cell improved at all mid fight. Gohan goes SS2, decisively beats Cell, Cell spits out #18, blows himself up and Ressurection Power Boost happens. Ok Cell improved and tremendously because he no longer needs to absorb the same android plus he's even stronger than he was before HOWEVER he lost a beam struggle to an 1 armed Gohan. Yes the 1 arm does a difference and i'll use Bleach to explain why. Kenpachi always fights with just 1 hand, he swings his sword with only 1 hand and with his predominant hand but when he was having trouble beating Ressurection Nnoitra he decided the fight with a single 2 handed swing so he could cut through NNoitra's hardened Hierro. A SINGLE SWING from 2 HANDS decided that battle. The increase in power was that overwhelming when Kenpachi was actually in a losing battle. Surely you can try counter argument by saying yeah but Kenpachi didn't even use shikai, he was just using his base, so if he used Shikai he'd 1 handed swing NNoitra dead and that's most likely true, i think so aswell. And my reply is EXACTLY he was in his base, that just demonstrates how frightningly powerful his 2 HANDED swing was. Now imagine him Swinging his Shikai with 2 Hands... That's exactly what happened with SP Cell vs SS2 Gohan, Gohan was restrained and still output more power than a Completly FRESH POWER BOOSTED CELL. Vegeta's Blast did absolutly nothing besides distracting Cell and Gohan went Full out and eclipsed Cell. Cell couldn't even attempt a struggle back given how overwhelming Gohan's output went in that moment.

Dig watching your videos when i get home from work and am making/eating dinner, something about it is cozy. Here are some topic questions that popped into my head over time. Other than the obvious answers of "plot" or "toriyama didnt think about it", was wondering about: Why didnt zamasu trade bodies with beerus or wish him/(not so) supreme kai dead. Super D can literally grant any wish right? (Unless im missing something.) Why didnt cell use instant transmission to dodge the last beam clash? Ive seen some of the characters get punched so hard it makes an indentation through their back, nearly penetrating through (sometimes it does too.) Do you think they ever shit themselves from injuries like that, I mean damn i would lol. Ive seen people in karate tournaments void themselves under less stress and damage. I know people use the word strength as kind of a catch all term for power and such, buf without ki how strong would most of the characters be natty? Think itd be wild to see a scale or tier list or w/e of whos the goat w/o ki. My own reasoning for why u6 saiyans are as broken as they are is cause maybe planet sadala has an insanely higher gravity (even more than planet vegeta)? Maybe their bean pole design helps mitigate weight, and the muscle is way lean/dense. Idk, its just stupid tbh, but keeps me from completely hating, unlike the winnie the poo insert and the other dumb super character designs. Guess that one was more of a comment then question, my b. What happens if ginyu trades with a fusion? Why do characters in hell get their bodies AND respawn if killed, seems kind of unfair. What happens if a male and female character fuse (har har, in before the inevitable joke lol.) But fr, is it like, the more powerful one dictates it orrr...? I get this hasnt been done before, to my knowledge at least so more like asking your opinion, or shoot anyone who responds 🤷🏽‍♀️ Oh and do they add the j in ssj for western audiences so their beloved golden haired blue eyed bois arent that reminiscent of another ss so to speak 😂 I think thats everything 😘

[@derekclawson5707]

Aside of Cell in order: Gohan, Goku, Piccolo, Vegeta and then Trunks. I put Vegeta over Trunks because grade 2 although not as raw power still has the edge in speed and why Vegeta can beat his son in a serious match still. His signature chi blasts also seem better than Trunks also and better multipliers. Piccolo definitely has great multiplier skill in his blasts. Tiens' Tri Beam in relative to his base overall power level maximum is also incredible. I don't really recall any time that I was impressed by chi blasts from Trunks. Trunks is inexperienced and basic compared to alot of the seasoned fighters with refined techniques and is too much of a physical fighter when he should have been into meditation practices and honing chi blast amplifying too. Starting with Mecha Freezer and Cold for the most part in that fight he relied heavily on physical contact more than energy contact. Only really using chi blasts to give them the spook. I don't mind Trunks as a character but in observation he REALLY is basic and lacks talent in ways no matter how impressive he is showcased at any time in the series. He uses chi blasts like a loose cannon instead of strategic maneuvers. Vegeta on the other hand has used chi blasts for strategy, Goku has done so too, Gohan mimicked the whole chi blast in the lake thing as Goku did against Freezer with his fight with Dabra too. I really find and see Trunks more unskilled than other characters. Despite his battles in the future he really looks green. Cell in Abridged even roasted him with it and told him Goku had more fighting experience even as a kid than he still has had in his entire life 🤣🤷

Cell is the equivalent of multiple personality disorder.

[@derekclawson5707]

Piccolo fared better in the hypersonic lion tamer because he could materialize clone copies of himself for physical training and his mind / ki training is incredible with it. He gained so much in such a short while on King Kai planet just by simply meditating the entire time even though King Kai openly shown him team effort is also just as important than solitude and meditating by showcasing how much the others improved by sparring. In preparation for the Androids his gains were even more incredible and he was just about on par with Goku and Vegeta. Piccolo is always a base fighter and really doesn't need transformation anyways. He explained to Gero while busting his can that he has the upper hand because he is very great at amplifying his base ki into multipliers like a ssj transformation.

[@keithcole8536]

[@Durakken]

I think you are mistaking Goku saying that Dabura is more difficult to fight that he is more powerful. Magic and ki are not the same thing and so you can have characters that are not powerful at all, but are difficult to fight... For example Guldo, who has a PL of 10,000, but poses a significant issue against Vegeta, before his buffs and we know that 2v1 1.5x Guldo is about equal with his power, but 2.5 to 3x easily handles Guldo. This means that Guldo is effective 20,000 BP, while real is 10,000 BP. Now apply that to Dabura. He might have SPCell BP but with his magic he is Effectively 2x SPCell BP. Though, the technique makes all the difference.

To be honest, if scaled properly, super perfect Cell would be a serious problem for all of them. If he was reintroduced in the Buu saga he would be more power than even super Buu(except Buuhan), and maybe even as powerful as kid Buu. For 2 reasons: 1. He has Goku & Vegeta's cells. So he'll definitely be training in the afterlife thanks to their drive to get stronger and surpass his limits. 2. He's in the afterlife. Toriyama has shown that training while alive and training while dead has drastic differences in gains. Training while in the afterlife has less strain on the body than while alive. Which is why Goku was able to reach super saiyan 3 and not Vegeta despite Vegeta training harder than Goku while he was alive the entire time. Not only that you get stronger at a faster rate in the afterlife. Which is why when all of the z fighters were on king Kai's planet for a short period of time, they reached levels of power, that would have taken years, and as for the humans, maybe even decades to reach. For these reasons, Cell would be too strong for them because Cell at the time of his death, was already at a super saiyan 2 level of strength. Which neither Goku or Vegeta reached yet when Cell was alive. So you if you gave him 7 years of training in the afterlife, he would have surely surpassed fat Buu, super Buu(except Buuhan), and be around the power of Kid Buu, their most dangerous threat in the z series. Goku would stand best chance at super saiyan 3, but ultimately Goku wouldn't be able to fight at that intensity for such a long time just like with kid Buu. Vegeta would be crushed since he hasn't reached that level of power, and Gohan would be even more crushed since slacked off and hasn't trained in 7 years. Cell would have definitely learned new tricks in the afterlife besides the ones he inherited from the z fighters. This is why I say, if scaled properly, they would have a serious problem facing super perfect Cell in the Buu saga.

While Cell is an awesome villain, no villain come close to as sadistic and violent as Frieza. Buu & Cell were literally just created and thust didn't truly have a free will of their own.

I forgot if Dabura was closer to SS or SS2 in power, but his spit technique was incredibly effective. If Gohan could keep up with that-even if that means performing poorly- I think he has Cell in the bag.

Dont forget kabito overflowed his energy after spopovich and yamu drained his energy.. gohan said he felt stronger than he did before that

[@fuckthisstupidasshandleshit]

Dabura was far above SSJ2 Gohan.

[@davidbowerman3089]

@@fuckthisstupidasshandleshit i agree, especially since he didnt train for 7 years.. and even goku said to him before gohan went to buu's egg to remember what he is fighting for, and even before that vegeta after the dubura fight even made comment on him

[@ralegade7710]

@@fuckthisstupidasshandleshit I’m referring to child Gohan. He would’ve bodied Dabura. Pre return to earth Gohan in the Buu saga was super weak.

Did Android 17 actually use his shield in DBZ? I only remember it from GT and Super.

[@ssj4ssbgogeta957]

He used it against Piccolo’s hell zone grenade.

[@charlessoto1792]

SS2 Gohan was obviously nerfed when he defeated Super Perfect Cell on account of the injury he got while protecting Vegeta. By Buu Saga he is nerfed by not having been training. It is not unrealistic to think he could STILL defeat Super Perfect Cell, which gives validity to Gokus statement upon seeing Dabura fight, that he may be stronger than "what I thought" (referring to when he compared Dabura to Cell).

The battle could go either way, we just don’t know how much more powerful SS2 Gohan was than SP Cell. Adult Gohan was weaker than his teen self and SP Cell could be more powerful than SS2 Adult Gohan. So based off of that you can’t really say. We’re trying to add in our own scaling and throw in rage boost and techniques so at the end of the day it’s silly to be honest, don’t want to be a party pooper but we’re not the creators to answer this hypothetical scenario, we would have to ask Toriyama how that would go down.
