There are roughly six months left till the movie debuts and we get one ~60 second commercial every three months or so. I don't think it will be that big of a deal for him to supervise two minutes of animation on the side during that period...

BTW, it's not great quality, but here is Bebi Janenba in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ay7NpLwqUUo

People tend to forget that Janenba was the Saike Oni, so technically after Gogeta deals with him, Janenba no longer exists; not even in hell.

Janemba was all the evil in the soul cleansing machine incarnated in and taking control of the Saike Oni's body. He's more like Baby possessing Vegeta and making him mute.

Maybe Janenba is like Sephiroth -- he still exists as this idea, with trace amounts floating around, and can regenerate himself (possibly just temporarily) if there's enough evil concentrated into one place.

Okay, that makes sense, so since he was created from all the evil souls of Hell itself, even though he was destroyed, his aura would still linger on the afterlife, or something like that. Every time too much evil concentrates in one place, he would pop into existence. I could easily accept that. I think Marvel's Onslaught kinda works the same way.

I could see that working as a method for Janenba ressurecting himself, but I'm not sure I'd agree that it would be the same Janenba we know that reforms. I mean, he already undergoes a transformation just in the short time we see him. So if he's going to reassemble himself using a different collection of evil ki/miasma/whatever as a base, he'd probably take on a an altered appearance.

I figure If Gogeta manages to dissipate Janemba while Baby is inside him, the Saike Oni's body will physically turn back to normal but still be infected by the Tuffle.

Also I'm not too fond of Baby Janembas design, they just ripped off Super Baby Vegeta's arms and stuck em on Janemba's chest same with the feet.

I feel like Baby's infection should have had a different physical effect on Janemba as far as colors and I think it would have been cool if his horns were bent to the left like Vegeta's hair.
It's not too late. One day, it will be.

That's not really true. Adult Bebi, Super Bebi Vegeta 2 and Bebi Janenba all share some of the same traits, obviously, but there are distinct differences too. And if you actually look at the three of them closely, you'll notice that Bebi Janenba shares most his Bebi traits with the adult version of the parasite himself and not the last pre-Oozaru form of Bebi Vegeta.

The most obvious one being that Bebi Vegeta's jumpsuit is black, while Bebi himself is blue; which Bebi Janenba uses too. There are also other little things like Bebi Janenba having his normal colored feet, so instead of wearing what appears to be boots like Super Bebi Vegeta 2, he's just wearing shin guards. The lines on Bebi Janenba's head also have the yellow from Bebi instead of being pure red like they are with Bebi Vegeta. Bebi Vegeta also uses Bebi's designs for the guards on his arms and legs, while Bebi Janenba retains his original swirl looking design for them with Bebi's traits added on.

Agree. Seeing him in-game, Baby Janemba looks too much like Super Janemba.

Maybe his infection will progress like that of Vegeta, and we'll get Baby Janemba 2.

I see some people saying that Bebi Freeza would have been an better idea seeing that they both hate Saiya-jins. I guess other Bebi versions of villains could be good ideas. They could have Cell and Freeza working under Bebi Janemba's control since how Gohan, Goten and Trunks where pretty much working for Bebi Vegeta.

Baby versions of Freeza and Cell would be good ideas, I can see it working with Piccolo too and like it's been pointed out, Hatchiyack.

I like his guy's design for a Bebi Freeza.

I think Bebi Cell could be interesting as well.

I demand Baby-Goku.

I'd like to point out that "Saike" is simply Japanese shorthand for "psychedelic", because (inexplicably?) this is how the anime staff characterized the music he listens to.

I wonder who would be in control of Bebi Janemba. Janemba basically possessed the teenager from hell and never truly had his own body. The Janemba form was a manifestation, similar how Bebi manifested a new forms when inside of Vegeta. Can Bebi control another soul inside of a body. They would be duking it out for control of the hosts body. also who's body did Janemba get or did Janemba possess Bebi's body?

Seeing that Cell and Freeza team up in the Super 17 saga then they could make a Celleza card. I guess the fusion could be similar to Super 17's fusion then it being a fusion dance.

This guy's design of Baby Goku is sick. He's made Stage 1 and 2 versions as well which can be seen in the gallery.

That, I would love to see.

I'm not that fond of 'em. I mean, there's nothing wrong with them, I just hope that if they expand the Bebi infections that they get a little more creative like they have with Janenba. Assume that each character that he takes over would get slightly unique traits.

That would be over killed if you ask me. At least an Super Buu absorption form of Super Yi Xing Long would be interesting since Buu is the final villain of the Z era of Dragon Ball and Super Yi Xing Long is the final villain of the GT era.
