Not at first.

He was given back his body to go on a suicide mission against an Eldritch Abomination.

Oh wait, I get it. grin Assuming you meant Abridged!Vegeta. [down][down][down]

Goku's totally pure of heart. That doesn't change the fact that he totally loves his violence and therefore would do nothing to temper Buu's violent proclivities. Goku loves violence purely for its own sake rather than to harm, because he's an innocent soul, but violence is still his hobby. Stacking Goku's love of fighting on Buu's malice would result in something like Perfect Cell, threatening the world unless someone can provide him a challenge.

Goku's innocence also allowed him to resist Devilman's special attack that destroys someone from within using the evil in their soul.

Dai Kaioshin didn't temper Buu by being a Good person, but by his peaceful nature, which Goku is sorely lacking.

My question is: What would've happened if Buu managed to absorb Goku after the Vegito debacle?

Wouldn't Buu have technically maintained his present form at the time since Gohan was technically stronger than Goku?

Technically?

And he'd maintain his form, but his personality can still be influenced. Just like Dai Kaioshin, or Piccolo being absorbed to offset Gotenks' immaturity.

[up]I say technically because later on we get bullshit like Super Saiyan Goku and Vegeta being able to fight Beerus while Gohan is oneshotted.

Wait, didn't Goku get two-shotted earlier?

He did, and then after losing Super Saiyan God he got to keep the power anyway and fought better as a Super Saiyan.

IIRC he "absorbed" some of that form's power and was thus able to fight with the residual energy. That might've been bad subtitles though.

Here we are.

They said he somehow took the God power in and kept it, while they don't explain what the hell Goku did with Beerus' energy ball. He looks even more exhausted after "absorbing" it, so I assume it was more like absorbing all the damage into himself so nothing hit the Earth.

Clearly that run-off energy passed through Goku's bowels and traveled down to Hell, miraculously reviving Frieza and making him more powerful than ever.

It even works as a Call-Back to Goku lending him some of his energy to give Frieza a chance to flee Namek.

So it turned into the Broly movie, from the sound of it.

I have a message from another time...

Beerus curbstomped Super Saiyan 3 Goku and oneshotted Gotenks and Ultimate Gohan. Super Saiyan God Goku was able to fight against him, but the transformation ran out. When it did, Goku absorbed all the power of God and was able to keep fighting at the same level in his Base form for literally no reason other than Goku whining about having to rely on others to achieve the God strength. Then he got ANOTHER God boost to stop Beerus's destruction ball.

Next time speak with a Dragon Ball Z familiar fan calling them a Yamcha when they get owned badly. [lol]
