To be fair Abridged Dragons make it clear you have to be specific and Shenron loathed how they used the dragonballs for such a mudane and really petty reason like a Christmas tree instead of restoring the forest back to life in Tree of Might.
He lets his hatred of the gang and Krillin get the best of him.
Every accusation by the GOP is ALWAYS a confession.
One of the only reasons I'd actually look forward to a Dragon Ball GT Abridged is because I like to imagine the Shadow Dragon Arc starting by Shenron going "THAT'S IT, I'M TIRED OF THIS SHIT."

No. GT Abridged will never happen. Dragon Ball Abridged would be REALLY awesome, though. Done as a straight prequel.
Haven't they said they aren't abridging GT because they hate it? I'm sure that's come up before along with them probably doing Dragon Ball.

x6: Here's the one where they wish back everyone but the "really really bad ones"
. I can't find the Porunga wishes that isn't a full episode, but the wishes are:
- Restore the Earth
- "Please use your power to restore the lives of all those who died on Earth since the wizard Babadi arrived there, except for the most evil ones."
Of course this is the dub so it may differ in Japanese and manga.
"Most" "Ones"
- PORUNGA: You have phrased your wish in such a way as to exclude a plural of individuals that fulfill a criteria that, by nature, limits to a single person. Error 404. Please re-gather the Dragon Balls and try again.
The Dragons grant wishes immediately, how someone never wondered how they can tell which people are evil or not evil so quickly. This is necessary question.

Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Also, it's probably a good thing that Porunga is from an alien culture. It means he probably doesn't have any personal biases towards an Earth race or ethnicity. This is important, since "most evil" is entirely subjective.
- GOKU: Where are all the Muslims?
- AMERUNGA: F*ckers be terrorists, yo! Every single one of them!
- GOKU: We need a new dragon.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.Actually, in the anime, we saw that Dabura was still dead......which is odd, because he was clearly less evil by the time the series was done.
One Strip! One Strip!It's just another filler-induced plot hole. The anime writers weren't aware Vegeta was going to make a wish to revive everyone who isn't Evil in the manga - hell, at that point in the story, Toriyama might not even have been aware - so by redeeming Dabura in the anime, they created a minor disruption in the canon when Dabura doesn't get to be revived.

In the anime, it's a perfectly acceptable headcanon. I don't think we ever see Dabura in Heaven in the anime after the wish, so nothing disproves it.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.In the anime, that's explicitly the reason for it. King Yama knew that, being a demon, Dabura would enjoy Hell too much so he sent him to Heaven instead. Somehow, this completely redeemed Dabura and when we see him in Heaven, he's an upbeat and fluffy ball of happiness bordering on Genki Girl.
In the manga, we never see Dabura again after Buu devours him. The "Dabura is a demon so Hell is like Home to him" distinction is never made because Makai and Hell are two entirely different places, and because Hell serves a very different purpose; as Piccolo exposits to Vegeta, evil souls are purged of their corruption and then reintroduced to the reincarnation cycle, which makes Hell a temporary stay with an actual function.
...
You know, I bet that's what the fluffy angel things were doing to Coccoon Frieza in Hell: purifying his soul.

Given that he was an abomination of pure, almost mindless evil and destruction, they probably just rebooted him.

I'm starting to think our heroes are really lucky the dragons aren't the types to creatively interpret vague wishes.
