I understand that but Goku didn't, Piccolo had to tell him that despite Gohan's power he was still a child. Also Gohan seemed much more willing to fight against Broly, than against Cell it was like he was trying not to kill him. Also like I said before in Movie 9 he did much better where as the other Z Fighters where still just pushovers. That to me shows that he wasn't MSSJ in Movie 8 but he was in Movie 9.

Daizenshuu EX :: View topic - Editorial: The Placement of Movies 8 and 10. "When, exactly, would the characters have been "pulled" from then? Movie 8 was released in March of 1993. Three months before that would be December of 1992. The first episode that aired in that month was Episode 167, in which Cell announces the Cell Game. This is one episode before Goku and Gohan re-emerge from the Room of Spirit and Time. The Movie began production before Gohan and Goku had finished their training, and had certainly not yet shown what kind of power they had in this "full power" state. Would this not mean that the characters are based off of the period of time in which Trunks and Vegeta are fighting Cell? We actually see Goku and Gohan during this fight, training in the Room of Spirit and Time. In the Manga, the last time we see them training, Gohan has just had his hair cut and can turn Super Saiyan. His hair length is suspiciously similar to how it looks in Movie 8. His bangs are shorter than in the Cell Game and the back has little spiking. Without doubt, the length of Gohan's hair in Movie 8 is closer to when we see him in the Room of Spirit and Time then it is in the Cell Game. "Mid-RoSaT". The characters were extracted from the point in time in which Goku and Gohan were still training in the Room of Spirit and Time. This would be about the point in which Goku shows his ability to tap into the 2nd and 3rd type Super Saiyan transformations. They've been training enough to increase their power hugely, but not yet begun the regimen to relax themselves while transformed and hold the state all the time. The way the battles play out in the movie enforce this, because if the movie was "Post-RoSaT", there would be a huge gap between every protagonist fighter, but they all seem to be on relatively equal footing. Also, if Gohan had completed his training, he would be on the tip of being able to go past the Super Saiyan. However, despite the circumstances and how dire they become, there is no such hint at this. If he was capable, Goku would have been pushing for that instead of the odd way he goes about besting Broli. This means Gohan was not yet ready to fully tap his true Super Saiyan abilities. Movie 10, as well, enforces this. When Gohan is fighting Broli, he notes to himself that his opponent is every bit as strong as before, and then mentions that he himself has powered up considerably since then. If Gohan had finished his training in the Room of Spirit and Time, there would be something horribly wrong with this statement, because Gohan had lost a large amount of power during the 7 years after the Cell Game. On top of that, when Gohan goes Super Saiyan, he holds out against Broli better than anyone did during Movie 8, proving that he himself had not only become stronger since then, but was greater than where everyone else was at the point of movie 8." Pretty much sums up why they're not MSSJs in movie 8 if you ask me. |

You're forgetting that Vegeta was beaten much easier in Movie 8 than in Movie 9. Gohan was still the supreme member of the Zet Senshi in both movies. Quote:
Broly's vastly superior power is what made the Zet Senshi look identically weak. He was toying with all of them anyway. And there was really no time for Goku to try to make Gohan angry either. They were being hunted and chased down by Broly the entire time from the beginning of their battle. And really, Goku not telling Gohan to get angry is a silly argument in my opinion, because the movie creators will do as they will. Apparently, it wasn't part of their ambition to make Gohan the hero, but Goku. So telling Gohan to try to become angry would just be a waste of film, if they were aiming to make Goku the hero anyway. Also, it would take way too much for Gohan to grow to the breaking point of ascending to SSj2. Cell had almost ran out of ideas...[lol] But nah, really, Gohan had to be pushed to a very high degree of anger. He didn't ascend into SSj2 until he and all his friends were beaten to pulp, and 16 had given his speech and died. If it wasn't for 16's empathetic speech, it's very likely Gohan would not have broken the through the proverbial Super Saiyan wall. As for your last paragragh, I believe Gohan was SSj2 when fighting Broly, so... |

Just so you know, that wasn't mine, it was just something I found that seemed right.

In Movie 8... -Vegeta and Trunks are too close to Goku in power for Goku to be a MSSJ. At no point are they shown ascending to grade 2 SSJ in the movie (Not that it would bring them up to Goku's full power anyway) either. -In movie 10 Gohan states that he had gotten stronger... This is a false statement if Gohan was a MSSJ in movie 8. -Goku's lack of confidence in Gohan pretty much spoke volumes to me. If Gohan was atleast on Goku's level, I seriously doubt he's going to tell him to stay back. Afterall, he needs all the help he can get. "Caring about gohan" doesn't exactly come across as a reason for Goku to tell Gohan to stay back. Goku knew full well Cell was stronger than Gohan when he sent him to fight anyway. |

About Vegeta and Trunks aren't SSj 2nd Grades that is incorrect. I even can forgive you if you don't think Vegeta is SSj 2nd Grade but ignore Trunks be one is just ridiculous, and if Trunks is one, Vegeta is one too. Quote:

Regarding the bold part Son Goku knew Son Gohan was stronger than Cell that is why he insisted Gohan fight it. If Gohan was weaker than Cell Goku wouldn't throw Gohan into Cell hands. |

What are you talking about? :/ Neither of them power up to grade 2 in the movie. You would see their muscles increasing in size greatly, and it would have to be while in SSJ. We see nothing of the sort happening in Movie 8. Quote:

Broly fans seem to use any excuse to try to give Gohan his Cell Games power level in Movie 8.
Every single frame of the film contradicts that. Why hang on? I think some people just say, "if Gohan's a Super Saiyan, this must be during the Cell Games!", and that's it. |

Gohan was mid-RoSot when Gohan had turned Ssj in the RoSot, Movie 8 was taken from that moment.
Reasons for being post-Vegeta and Trunks' RoSot
Anyway Vegeta did go to the second grade but A) He is the only one to do so in the movie. B) It was when Vegeta tried to take on Broly himself after, the others failed, claiming he was the Prince of All Saiyans and he must stop Broly.
