The Answer Finally Revealed

[Cell]

I had:
2 x 90,000,000,000 x 1100
4.1 ^ 1

As in... Goku being the 90 bill, and the "1" being Gohan suppressing.
We end up with: ~48,000,000,000,000
That x50: ~2,400,000,000,000,000
...which is what you have Buutenks at on that list.

But 90,000,000,000 is for Goku SSJ, therefore the number of distractions would be 2 (Gohan suppressing and Goku keeping SSJ).

Besides, why do you think Goku would be SSJ (and Gohan suppressing down to that level) instead of being SSJ2 or SSJ3? Since you think Gokhan would start as base, then Goku being a SSJ3 or even as SSJ2 would provide better results.

And why you think if Goku fused as SSJ and Gohan with his Ultimate state then the fusion would end up as just base instead of SSJ?

Oh, my mistake... I misread and thought that was his base.

I don't think they're necessarily referring to Goku's display.

They seem to be surprised that they found a level beyond Super Saiyan in Fusion:

Trunks: “Haah…haah…Hey…! We did it!”
Goten: “Y-yeah! Haah, haah…Amazing! To think that there’s something above Super Saiyan…!”
Trunks: “We can definitely win like this…! Hihihi…Everyone will flip their lids…!”

That's probably the most reasonable explanation for it. With that, I can't see them attaining Super Saiyan 2 separately.

If you were a sharpshooter... fixed in your ways... then someone showed you how to curve a bullet... and then after weeks of practice you curved a bullet... would it really seem so out of place to say "Wow, to think that bullets can actually curve!" after you achieved it?

I'm trying to look at it from the mindset of 7-8 yrs old. It doesn't necessarily have to be logical. With the way it's worded, I get the impression that they just somehow unlocked the form unexpectedly.

Hey, 2000 posts. Nice, EV!

Took long enough!

Thanks.

They shouldn't be surprised. They saw Goku's breakdown of Super Saiyan power.

And only because they saw Goku do it, it actually means they can't be surprised by the fact they could do it as well? dawg
