>and you'll notice Gohan is constantly sweating while Dabra isn't. Dabra isn't trying that hard.
I was thinking more about Dabura failing at overpowering Gohan when striking with his sword, but fair enough.

>Majin Bejita and Goku (on babidi's ship) had a few panels while in SS2 with no lightning for example against Yakon.
Yeah, a few, but for most pages they have lightning. Meanwhile Gohan doesn't have a single panel where he has lightning while transformed (Post-Kibito that is). It could be a case of Toriyama forgetting (As the Dabura fight only happens in a single chapter), but later on, when Gohan used the Kamehameha on the Buu egg, there still wasn't any lightning, and a chapter before had Goku and Vegeta with it, and another right after also did.

I could buy that Toriyama legit did forget about it during the Dabura fight, but afterwards where Gohan should have lightning aura, he just doesn't, so it all seems to be a deliberate decision for him to not have it. Maybe he is using SS2, but for some reason it's weak enough to the point it doesn't have lightning, which makes no sense since it did have lightning when he used it against Kibito.

I would prefer if it was just a straightup SS2, but the lack of lightning around it makes me suspect it isn't, or, again, maybe it's arbitrarily weaker and he doesn't have lightning because of that (Vegetto did have lightning aura for one panel, even though he's using SS1, so there might be some basis for that).
