Fat Buu is still evil without the kaioshins?

[Saroku]

Since Buu himself is a completly evil existence with no exception I think even the good fat buu after the split is a pure evil existence, its just that since this 'good' fat buu is only like 5% of his former self (the other 95% escaped after mr. satan got shot, resulting in the other evil buu), the good influence from the absorbed kaioshins is waaaay more stronger than it was when fat buu was 100%.
So if someone would free all kaioshins from the good fat buu, he would become another pure evil kid buu with the difference that since 95% escaped and got killed by gokus genkidama, he is way weaker.

I imagine Fat Buu could still go on a rampage if provoked enough like by Beerus in the movie/Super.

But at this point Goku and Vegeta are so much stronger than Fat Buu that if ever did cause trouble they'd knock him out in an instant.

I think he is like a child...I bet he wasn't pure evil...If he were pure evil, he couldn't be splitted in 2 parts (pure and evil).

This in-manga conversation happens to be directly related to the quandary of what "Good" Buu's intrinsic nature is and the potential repercussions of his life being allowed to continue. Notice the phraseology of Mr Satan's efforts to dissuade Vegeta from killing Buu? It's not an outright admission of Buu's moral clarity -- by his own words, Buu isn't "so" bad. We know Buu is volatile, devoid of any complex judgmental process, with a personality dictated by his whims instead of a substantive philosophical framework. When he's hungry, he pursues innocent bystanders to sate his desire for sweets. When he's bored and wishes for some kind of amusement, he hunts down civilians to kill for his satisfaction. Bibbidi and Bobbidi may have been the ones to instill this outlet, but it's clear from Buu's sociopathic lack of regard for the torturous affliction he's bringing onto others that the notion of innately felt compassion for a fellow living creature escapes him. He only began to open up to Bee due to the puppy's unorthodox lack of trying to flee from him -- a disturbing association of gesture and reaction in its own right. Societal values and the general notion of self-restraint don't come naturally to him, instead he's needing others to enforce it in his place.

Mr Satan also failed to allay Vegeta's concerns about the creation of another Evil Buu, suggesting a part of him feels the possibility is real. The slightest adverse emotional stimuli to this creature may very well precipitate a cry of outrage, whether it be through the gestation of an alter-ego or he himself going off the deep end and committing a massacre. It's having to be proposed that he remain at the Satan manor because he apparently can't receive the consolatory support needed to keep himself under control anywhere else. This is more than just simple naivete and free-spiritedness, Buu is a loose cannon set to go off when his mindset finds an external challenge that his thought process can't reconcile with, like the attempted killing of people whom he grew to appreciate; not even Goku discounts the reemergence of an antagonistic Buu whom they'll need to confront somewhere down the line.



Problem is -- the one person who is able to maintain Buu's contented peace of mind won't always be around. He's a primordial entity with an indefinite life expectancy. This recent chance encounter with Mr Satan doesn't even register as a blip compared to the untold number of millennia worth of history he's paid witness to. What arrangements do they have planned in advance for Buu after Mr Satan is gone? Moreover, the people who are strong enough to oppose Buu also won't live forever. Short of the gods coming down to assist, the universe will be left at the mercy of Buu who can effectively do anything he wants. Adding to this point -- I understand this is an anime exclusive scene, but it seems to speak volumes about Buu's capacity for functioning in an organised society on his own.



Buu is very dysfunctional when it comes to civilised norms and etiquette. Were it not for his recollection of Mr Satan's instructions on how to act in public, that vendor's life may have been threatened. Once again -- it comes down to his crutch deterring him from acting upon this in-born propensity to react violently when he doesn't get his way. He isn't like Vegeta or Piccolo who were proven to be capable of tolerating, to some degree at least, societal norms. They've since formed their own appreciation for human life that's separate from the people who inspired them to turn the other cheek. I don't see the same happening with Buu who continues to be anchored only by Mr Satan's influence.

At best, "Good" Buu is a childlike entity with an inability to appreciate the deeper meaning of morality who also happens to act upon instinct. At worst, he's a neurotic troublemaker with a sociopathic disregard for human life who can be easily swayed back to his old nefarious lifestyle through some easy words of choice that appeal to his psyche. He may not be "evil", per se, but he's certainly not a benevolent entity.

After watching BoG and Dragon Ball Super's arc retelling of the movie and seeing "Good" Buu's spat with Beerus over the pudding, it's safe for me to say that I completely agree with you on this subject. Heck, you pretty much fully summed up what this topic's question was asking, and in a very well-thought out post, I might add. Not trying to discredit the other posters here, of course.
