Majin Vegeta seemed like his excuse to act like his old self without the annoying voice called a conscience hindering his actions.

Random thought: could Babidi theoretically get the energy he needed to revive Buu from 17 or 18?

They do have infinite Energy that''s more or less on par with Ki, and they have...well an infinite amount of it and all that. True, he'd need to know they have it first, and I bet that machine he gave to Spopovitch and Yamu can't detect their energy anyway, but if there was a way, I'm wondering if it would work.

Does the mental image not amuse and entertain?

Imagine Babidi coming hat in hand asking for a jump

We know they can produce infinite energy, but we don't know at what rate. It might take a while to get enough energy from them to revive Buu.

Babidi's minions don't seem brainwashed in the traditional sense, as in overwriting their free will and making them his slaves. It just seems more like a More than Mind Control thing where he convinces them to follow him of their own accord...probably by yelling incessantly in their head.

Vegeta just used Babidi to get a free power up and simply psyched himself up that "HE WAS EVIL" to justify him fighting Goku, he was able to resist Babidi yelling in his head because he cared more about fighting Goku than literally anything else. It's why Goku calls him out for being half-hearted about the whole thing and that he was just trying to convince himself of something that wasn't true.

A lazy millennial who's good at what he does.

For most of them it seemed like mind-control; There were "free-willed" in that they were mostly themselves except they gladly served Babidi now. Vegeta's will was just too strong to freely control. So he unlocked the darkness in Vegeta's heart and the power that came with it, but besides that Vegeta said "fuck you".

This.

It also makes the aforementioned calling out of Vegeta by Goku more significant. Hell, if Vegeta really were as evil as he claimed he was, or as evil as he had once been, he wouldn't have needed to convince himself that he was the most evil man in evil town.

When you're that good, you don't need to talk to back it up.

More to the point, when Goku can see through your bullshit, you know your failing.

Hmm, since Frost is already out in the manga, do you think it'll have Roshi go out after battling Ganos instead?

Roshi will be the one fighting Jiren along with Goku and Frieza, instead of Android 17.

How about you continue dislike Blooma and nobody has to explain anything.

Because that would be unnecessary.

I mean, if you want reasons why I like her to understand better, she's smart, resourceful, Goku's oldest friend, and tough. She can be abrasive, rude, and selfish, but that's part of her charm. She's also the only non-fighter character who's been consistently important and relevant in almost every arc, and has been since the beginning.
