Anger issues.

This video needed to happen. It is absolutely ridiculous the amount of times I've had to explain this. The problem is that SS Gohan has at least two states, suppressed and angered.

You missed out another huge dropped hint. When Goku powered up in front of Korin, he stated that it was about half of his power. Gohan didn’t believe that either. He thought it was far less than half. People simply do not get how much of a monster Super Saiyan 2 Gohan was compared to everything else up until that point.

I am incredibly shocked people thought Goku was stronger than Gohan in ssj

This should be obvious considering Cell ACTUALLY used his full speed against SSJ1 Gohan, something he never needed against Goku. Gohan was dodging Cell's attacks - same attacks which were connecting against Goku. In fact Cell himself acknowledged that Gohan was a worthy replacement for Goku just after fighting him for a short while.

It’s a shame that Gohan in this form never fights cell without the mental nerf. It would’ve made for a more interesting battle to see two fighters close in power.

Because he was capable of going further beyond

What gets me is the people who think Gohan only gets 2x stronger after going ss2. Or just as bad is people saying he just got a rage boost for the fight. No, Gohans hidden power that he was only ever able to use through his rage boosts was finally controlled and added to his normal power and then he went ss2 ON TOP OF all that.

It also helps to know that Goku never had his potential unlocked by Guru, only Gohan did. So that's why SS1 Gohan would have been more than a great sparring partner for SS1 Goku in the time chamber. Goku went pretty far without ever getting his potential unlocked by others though, he would unlock his potential all on his own

It was a tough pill to swallow find out that Goku wasn’t holding back. Thing about Goku, he’s always had a mysticism about him. If he says Gohan is stronger than him, who are we to not believe him? Goku is seldom wrong about anything. Goku had it planned out since before they even went into the Hyberbolic time chamber.

The only guy that Vegeta said "Sorry" was ssj2 Gohan. You must analize that scene, like Gohan said, if Vegeta apologized that means they were in real trouble against Cell.

I don't think enough people give Chichi some credit when it comes to how powerful Gohan is. She may have only wanted Gohan to become a Scholar but what makes Gohan so powerful is the strong human emotions he inherits from her. I mean think about it, when Chichi gets mad literally all the Z fighters are absolutely terrified of her lmao. It's her very strong human emotions that superpowers Gohan's Saiyan cells and makes him crazy strong. Even from the very beginning vs Radditz, Gohan gets mad and one-shots him when Goku or Piccolo stood zero chance at the time.

I think the real question was how was Gohan still way stronger than Vegeta after Trunks was killed? Goku snapped after Krillin died, Gohan snapped after 16 died, but Vegeta witnessing his own son die barely got stronger and merely served a small role in Cell's defeat.

Honestly thought this was common knowledge

The children are meant to become better than their parents. That's how it goes. Toriyama did a good job.

What I like about your videos you only use the Manga as your source of information which is really good to see every now and then

This is why Beast Gohan is the strongest mortal in universe 7.

Not only does he have Saiyan blood but Ox king’s blood as well.

To me it’s always been Goku knew Gohan could win so he gave him the chance to fight. But if Goku sensed Gohan’s power lacking he wouldn’t have given up, I always compare this to Frieza’s fight where Goku’s body was pushed to the limits but he didn’t give up because nobody else could stand up to Frieza !!
