Dragon Ball: 8 Strongest Super Saiyan 2 Users, Ranked

The real genius of the Cell Saga in Dragon Ball Zis rooted in just how much effort the Saiyans put into surpassing the original Super Saiyan transformation. Goku and Vegeta both come to the realization that SSJ1 will not be enough to stop the Androids, beginning a race to evolve Super Saiyan to its full power. Gohan finally unlocking Super Saiyan 2 when Android 16 dies is one of the greatest transformations in anime history, and the form still gets occasional use in Dragon Ball Super.
