Gohan was a SSJ2 against Dabura.
But that doesn't this logic mean that Gohan was a ssj2 vs Darbra but somehow a SSJ during the Z sword stuff?Dabura one shots. Gohan was a SSJ2 against Dabura. The tournament shows that Gohan can use SSJ2 casually, he only needs rage to get to the power he was at during the Cell Games. And Goku's statement doesn't work unless Dabura is at the least at FP Perfect Cell level.
And then throw in Super showing a future Dabura being solidly in between Post Z-Sword SSJ and SSJ2 Trunks (who is stronger than Boo arc Goku) level then Dabura should pretty solidly be in the low end SSJ2 tier, like SPC.
