The Common Enemy

[Saiga]

If Buu won against Grey Buu then maybe he could have turn into a good version of Super Buu. It would make a pretty cool what if story though.

Presumambly, Mr. Buu would just be Fat Buu again if that happened.

Someone needs to write a fan fiction on this. I mean Freeza and Cell both have redemption fics, why not Super Buu?

As Evil Boo is my favourite, I consider it a good thing he's the one without redemption fics. Although it could be enjoyable if it was deliberately crack.

Although, I'm just talking about Evil Boo before he starts absorbing others. Once he starts absorbing the good guys it might be feasible for him to turn good the more good people he absorbs, at least more-so than Freeza and Cell.

I'm just really curious to see how he'd interact with people in any context besides trying to kill them- not turn good, just stop being actively hostile for some amount of time. Would Goku get along with him? Would Vegeta mind him? Would he just be a loner since the rest of the gang never forgave him for eating them? What would he even do all day? What would he say or do during BOG when Beers shows up? It has great comedy potential if nothing else, since his personality is just so unlike anyone in the main cast. Though him putting aside hostilities for any real amount of time is pretty out of character. I wonder what circumstances could possibly justify that?

Meh, to be honest Freeza or Cell turning good isn't that much more implausible than Vegeta or Piccolo doing so. The general idea, I mean. Freeza and Vegeta are basically the same character anyway.

That MAY make a good story if done right, but it would obviously be limiting (since Buu eats the main cast) and in way would actually contradict the series, since absorbing Gotenks only seemed to make Buu more evil.

The main difference that comes to mind, when comparing Mr. Buu to the Evil Buu that attacked the lookout, is that Evil Buu doesn't give a damn. He takes what he wants when he wants it, and basically disposed of the idea of right and wrong entirely.
He could conceivably be manipulated into a fragile good guy role, but it'd be tricky, since his power makes it awfully hard for anyone to carrot-and-stick him, as Piccolo saw when he tried manipulating and outsmarting him. Distraction? Buu kills it. Trapped in another dimention? Buu kills it. You'd need someone strong to keep him in check, a way to prevent him from absorbing everyone with their backs turned, and something else for him to fight, since he seems to like that idea enough to exert a little patience for it.

One ... dubious idea that came to mind while writing: let him absorb people on the brink of death, hope that his magic can keep them alive longer inside him. Assuming the power from regular dying people adds up, as with Cell, he would gain something (more strength), and he might develop something resembling either a moral compass or a manipulable weakness, which could gradually weaken his villain role.
It does, however, have "Feed your dying friends and family to this omnicidal monster" as a cost.

...What would he say or do during BOG when Beers shows up?...

Absorb him, and destroy Vegito

I can see Cell change to become like Vegeta, just a bit more evil, because i had the impression that Cell just wanted to fight strong enemies (remind you of someone?).. Actually, I can see a lot of similarities between Saiyan saga Vegeta and Cell
