Point of order:
That apparently are multiple ways to evolve SSJ2, and only one of them explicitly comes with the mental drawbacks you mentioned.
For that you probably need Saiyan Beyond God, I think.There are four ways to achieve this transformation, a requirement for all four is that the Saiyan must first gain a large quantity of energy (usually by training), far beyond that required for the first Super Saiyan form. The first method is that the Saiyan must experience a powerful emotional upheaval, much like the Super Saiyan transformation, but to a greater extent. Because of the intense emotion required to initiate the transformation, any mastery of the Super Saiyan state and mental stability attained therein is negated, and the naturally remorseless nature of the Saiyan race is magnified, requiring them to master the personality adaptations to an even higher degree. Even Gohan with a gentle and docile personality became a hotheaded, merciless fighter after transforming, opting to torture Cell rather than kill him, despite Goku's pleas. The second method to obtaining the transformation is simply through harsh training.[8] The third method is merely through instinct from a desperate need; if the Saiyan is in a situation that needs a quick and desperate action, like saving somebody from almost getting killed, the Saiyan will instinctively and in a rapid instant, transform, quickly making them more powerful.[9] The fourth method is for the Saiyan to feel out the tingly feeling in their back. The power output emitted by this form is greatly increased as well, as it doubles the strength of the regular Super Saiyan transformation.[10][11]
Super Saiyan 2
Not really.
Ki is bullshit magic that keeps surprising. And that doesn't go into what has been forgotten.
You have an invasion fleet inbound.
A fleet at a much higher level of technology than Garenhuld, and presumably with it's own industrial equipment.
Technology isn't static. Even the scout ship stuff we found had such previously unknown advancements as ki-shielding armor. You might be able to bootstrap to a somewhat more sophisticated level of technology once the invaders get here, as long as you can convince them not to wreck everything in spite; refugee fleets have to have their own facilities for setting up local production.
If nothing else, if you can get ahold of the manufacturing techniques for the armor that hides ki, you can slather it all over places where people practice, in order to help the sorcery wards hide shit better.
Point of order:
Universal Spirit Bomb is a thing, even if it did need the help of the Kais
Universal Spirit Bomb
Still gonna need to grind that diplomacy though.
There is an Ascended SSJ2, but I'm not sure it confers more control. More power certainly, to the point of rivalling SSJ3. And the whole anger/rage thematic that seems to go with it may well work better for Jaffur than for Kakara.
It's also possible to do an end run around much of the sequence and go straight to SSJ4; given that we have Golden Oozaru, we've met the prereqs for it.
And of course, Super Saiyan God and Saiyan Beyond God are both possible, and are also much more compatible with the diplomacy-heavy route and themes Kakara has pursued so far, while leading towards Super Saiyan Blue.
Of course, the funny thing would be that if you go SSJ4, you'd have to go back to Super Saiyan in order to
Which would lead to the hilarious picture of someone trying to evolve SSJ4 without realizing they have to go back a couple steps.
Though if you ask me, what Kakara actually needs is Ultra Instinct. Assuming that's a thing here.
GT isn't canon here. Bits and pieces are
