What is your opinion on Babidi’s spaceship?

And the concept behind it, aswell the fact that the fights actually took place in there, with different stages to go through? What do you think about the design of the different rooms and stages of the ship and how it all works?

I really like it!

Never thought it actually looked like a city-sized alien rocket ship. Weird, but in a good way.

Pretty good spaceship, imo.

(The fact that the diagram gives us rooms we never even directly see is fun world-building too.)

Probably the number one spaceship we never see fully from the outside in DB. Also maybe the only one.

I like it. It feels like a better version of Muscle Tower from the RRA arc. Both feel kinda video game-y, what with how the heroes ascend/descend through the levels fighting gimmicky opponents on each floor, but the fact that Babidi's ship is this massive complex buried underground is a bit more visually interesting than a big tower in the middle of nowhere (I always question why Goku couldn't just climb the outside of it?) Plus, Babidi changing the environment with magic was a nice touch.

I always wanted to see it in action, the FT arc was a missed oportunity to see the ship in its full glory, out of the ground, maybe flying or something, it looks like it's huge.
Toriyama loves drawing tech stuff with a lot of details, so I wonder if he ever draw a sketch of the outside of the ship.

I also wonder if the ship was under ground on that particular spot because that's where the Buu egg was, so instead of moving it, they just landed "around" it.

My favourite thing about babidis spaceship is there is an entrance at the top, two at the bottom, and then just like... Well... Its only gonna land one of two ways up, deal with it.
