On the other hand, if Gohan had thrown a tantrum in the Cell Games and gone "bitch I could beat you with my hands tied behind my back, this tournament's stupid, let's just go home and eat cake", that would've probably fixed the entire problem.
himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariGohan Curbstomping Cell right off the bat would have saved a lot of lives truthfully.
One Strip! One Strip!No, the asspull was his zenkai not only making him even stronger than he was in his Perfect form but also his body "remembering" his perfect form.
Super Perfect Cell is Super Perfect Bullshit.
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!"My cells remembered my Perfect form, so yeah. I don't need 18 or 17 anymore."
If that's the case, why didn't his cells "remember" his Perfect form whenever he spit out 18?
Also, lol @ Cell gaining the Instant Transmission. What Cell, did your Cells absorb knowledge from the burnt pieces of Goku's corpse?

Again, Saiga has already explained the fact that Super Saiyan Gohan was still weaker than Perfect Cell like twice now; Cell never used his full power until Gohan was already a Super Saiyan 2, so he was still holding back that entire time.
Let's see if you can get past my Beelzemon. Mephiles, WARP SHINKA!I dunno. It depends on whether you trust Gohan saying that he's at half power or not. If you think the character himself knows how much power he has left, then it's pretty clear, if you don't, then it's ambiguous.
himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariHe does say Gohan is wrong, when Gohan is supposedly putting out his full power.
So Gohan was wrong about how much power he was using - as evidenced by the fact the he releases more power after that.
So it's whether you believe he was using 50% and believing it was his full power but that was wrong and he released more power after that, or whether he was correct about only having 50% left but then he used less than 50% and was wrong because he believed he was using all of his 50% because he knows how much power he has but he doesn't actually know how much power he has and then when he got the chance he used the full 50% of his power.
That's not necessarily the case...
Nevermind, yes it is...it was mentioned in a related post above.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.If we're discussing how the it's ambiguous about what Gohan was wrong about, him being right about only having 50% power but somehow being wrong about using it all at the time seems much weirder than the alternative of him just having more than 50% at his disposal and not realizing it.

Ultimately, I don't think it really matters.
If you believe Gohan was using 50% and was wrong about it being his full power, then he was holding back Cell's Super Kamehameha at 50% of his power. He was losing, but gradually. Cell wasn't strong enough to easily overpower him.
If you believe Gohan was wrong about using all of his remaining 50%, then he killed Super Perfect Cell by releasing his full 50%.
In either scenario, Cell either could barely handle Gohan at 50%, or he couldn't at all. While the question of which is accurate would determine which side of Gohan's 50% Cell is on, he's still somewhere around that level either way.

Either way, he's still basically Antagonistic Cell Games Gohan.
"This tournament is stupid and I don't want to compete, so instead of having a pacifist breakdown, I'm just going to cheat until it's over."
