Overview of Super Saiyan 2 Transformations
- Goku and Vegeta both attain the Super Saiyan 2 form, demonstrating remarkable combat abilities.
- Cabba, Caulifla, and Gotenks also unlock Super Saiyan 2, each facing unique challenges.
- Future Trunks and Kefla master and elevate the Super Saiyan 2 form, enhancing their power through rage and fusion.
The multitude of Super Saiyan transformations in Dragon Ball can be overwhelming, especially given the complexity that has evolved since the original Super Saiyan form. Initially, this form served as the core transformation that many Saiyans would develop from.
A pivotal moment occurred when Goku recognized Gohan’s immense potential during their training leading up to the Cell Games. This realization paved the way for the introduction of Super Saiyan 2 during the climactic battle against Cell, marking a significant evolution in Saiyan power.
8 Cabba
A Weaker Saiyan Who Still Holds His Own in Battles
- First Transformation: A Saiyan Oath! Vegeta’s Resolve! (Episode 112 of Dragon Ball Super)
Cabba, hailing from Universe 6, is characterized by his gentle demeanor. However, during his battle with Vegeta in the Universal Tournament, his anger surfaces, propelling him to unlock the Super Saiyan 2 form. Under Vegeta’s guidance, he learns to harness his rage while engaging in combat.
Despite his newfound power, Cabba struggles against formidable opponents, ultimately being eliminated shortly after unlocking Super Saiyan 2, highlighting the challenges even newly transformed Saiyans face.
7 Gotenks
Gotenks Achieves New Power Levels with Super Saiyan 2
- First Transformation: Feeding Frenzy (Episode 260 of Dragon Ball Z)
Gotenks, the fusion of Goten and Trunks, does not engage in battle while in Super Saiyan 2 but does exhibit this form momentarily before advancing to Super Saiyan 3 within the confines of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. This brief glimpse into Super Saiyan 2 raises questions about its potential strength when adequately harnessed by Gotenks, despite lacking proper battle experience at this stage.
6 Gohan
The Pioneer of Super Saiyan 2
- First Transformation: Cell Juniors Attack! (Episode 184 of Dragon Ball Super)
Gohan was the first Saiyan to attain the Super Saiyan 2 transformation, achieving this formidable power during the Cell Games, a critical moment that enabled him to defeat Cell. Unfortunately, following this peak, Gohan allowed his training to slip, which diminished his power in comparison to other fighters as the series progressed.
Although Gohan occasionally demonstrates great potential, as seen in the Tournament of Power and the film Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, his inconsistent training often prevents him from fully realizing his strength as Universe 7’s most potent warrior.
5 Caulifla
Fighting at the Highest Levels with Super Saiyan 2
- First Transformation: You’re Our Tenth Warrior! Goku Approaches Frieza!! (Episode 93 of Dragon Ball Super)
Caulifla, an ambitious warrior from Universe 6, learns from Cabba to activate the Super Saiyan transformation and quickly progresses to Super Saiyan 2. Her power is impressive, allowing her to challenge Goku, though it is clear that she required Kale’s support to keep up with the seasoned fighter.
4 Vegeta
Vegeta: Goku’s Rival with Unmatched Power
- First Transformation: Vegeta’s Pride (Episode 229 of Dragon Ball Z)
Vegeta’s first public transformation to Super Saiyan 2 occurs during a moment of conflict driven by Babidi’s influence, marking a significant point in his rivalry with Goku. This transformation showcases his formidable battle strength, although the enhancement from Babidi’s magic is notably what propels him further. While Vegeta’s power in this form is significant, it is often regarded as slightly inferior to Goku’s Super Saiyan 2.
3 Goku
The Might of Goku’s Super Saiyan 2 Form
- First Transformation: Vegeta’s Pride (Episode 229 of Dragon Ball Z)
During a rematch with Vegeta, Goku chooses to remain in his Super Saiyan 2 form, effectively matching the might of a Majin-augmented Vegeta. This moment highlights Goku’s fighting skill, even if he eventually transitions to higher forms in later arcs. Goku’s initial ascent to Super Saiyan established him as a legendary fighter, and his prowess in Super Saiyan 2 only enhances this legacy.
2 Future Trunks
Trunks: The Rage-Fueled Master of Super Saiyan 2
- First Transformation: A Message From the Future: The Incursion of Goku Black! (Episode 49 of Dragon Ball Super)
After enduring immense loss, Future Trunks travels from his doomed timeline to seek help from Goku and Vegeta. His confrontation showcases his ability to tap into Super Saiyan 2. However, as the intensity of battle escalates against Goku Black and Future Zamasu, Trunks’ rage propels his Super Saiyan 2 transformation beyond its typical bounds, enabling him to stand alongside Goku and Vegeta at peak power.
1 Kefla
The Fusion with Supreme Super Saiyan 2 Power
- First Transformation: Goku vs. Kefla! Super Saiyan Blue Beaten? (Episode 115 of Dragon Ball Super)
Kefla’s Super Saiyan 2 form, augmented by Kale’s Legendary Super Saiyan abilities, sets a benchmark for power in the Dragon Ball universe. Even when fatigued, Goku finds himself challenged, ultimately pushing him to tap into imperfect Ultra Instinct to combat her. The climactic battle ends with Goku delivering a precise Kamehameha, marking a defining moment in the series and showcasing the fusion’s extraordinary potential.
