These points were made by Voice_of_Reason from neoseeker, showing Gohan was a SSJ2 against Dabra. How would you counter them?
Dabura is established to be at Cell's level of power:
Dabura's blast lands clean on Gohan, knocking him into the sea. Yet aside from his clothing being tattered, he emerges without as much as a scratch to show for it. Babidi confirms that Dabura isn't able to inflict any significant damage on Gohan:
In the Cell Games, SSJ Gohan is hit by attacks from Cell that would appear much weaker, yet are enough to cause superficial damage:
Gohan in the Majin Buu arc is expressed to be much weaker than his Cell Games self yet he is able to tank an attack from someone stated to be of Cell's level. This cannot happen if they were close in strength, as the above clearly demonstrates. There has to be a significant gap, with Gohan holding a considerable power advantage. Whatever way you look at it, SSJ1 power is not enough for that, much less a SSJ1 that's portrayed to be weak. Gohan was only able to tank Cell's attacks after becoming SSJ2:
Objective evidence further confirms Gohan holding a significant power advantage against Dabura:
After the fight had ended, Goku gives Gohan a senzu bean, not for a reason that he had taken damage, but simply because he used up too much stamina:
The battle is relatively short, and Daizenshuu 2 establishes that what is shown in the manga is from the beginning. Gohan does not display the use of any Ki attacks or take any significant damage, nothing that would've depleted his energy so fast. This contradicts the very advantage using the SSJ1 form in battle was established to possess:
Regular Super Saiyan was conditioned to replace their base state. Gohan's earlier SSJ appearances in the arc demonstrate that he is just as natural within the form, and even uses it to train with Goten in the month leading up to the tournament. If Gohan had used that form against Dabura he wouldn't have gassed, that is for certain. When you compare this to his Super Saiyan 2 state, where the tournament was the first time he had used it after 7 years, the answer is clear as day to what form he was using.
