The dopamine idea is interestin since most of babadi's henchmen do have this junkie quality to them. They so often are seen giggling and finding unreasonable pleasure in doing evil and are also so eager to please Babadi, as if they need another fix.

Manga Spoilers: Interesting how Babidi gives power boosts and Moro just gave an army a power boost

A good DBS idea is to explore the history of the Demon Realm, don't you think? P.S: I'm really glad things are looking up for you Geekdom. I wish you the best life possible man.

“Who in the world would make love to bibidi” “Who else but Quagmire!”

Geekdom, can you do a video on the Red Ribbon Army?

Imagine Babidi in the Moro Arc, the perfect duo

Babidi look like Jiminy cricket lol 😄

Not sure that hysterical strength is related to dopamine specifically. ESPN just did a great article on the science of hysterical strength, and the placebo effect through hypnotic suggestion had the greatest effect on strength increase. Would be interesting to see a study that introduces just dopamine tablets and monitors strength gains.

So what you're saying is, Babidi was a drug dealer?

You known the magic words! Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo!

i disagree with the dopamine/serotonin stuff. i think babidi is like an evil counterpart of what someone like Guru or Elder Kai are.. they unlock your potential. When u allow Babidi to take control of you with his magic, you also enable him to unlock some potential from your rage or dark desires or darkness with his magic. I think Guru was only able to unlock the potential of those with pure hearts, and so my theory is babidi unlocks the potential of those who sell their soul or have that evil in them... the trade-off. it's kind of like the devil's story where he's like give your soul to me and ill give you the riches, the fame, etc in return.. if i remember correctly he tried to seduce Jesus like that during his 40 day fast or travel or some shit my memory kinda vague on that

Majin magic and magic in general is one of the coolest secrets of the Dragon Ball franchise. I argue that Super Buu's human extinction attack and Piccolo's dialogue suggests that Buu's precision surprised him because he thought Buu had attempted to use ki sensing rather than some kind of magic sensing

I don't think it has anything to do with internal chemical reactions in the body. It's magic. Babidi isn't just "sort of" increasing their strength, but drastically increasing it. So much so that they're able to hold down Gohan, not just knock out some human girl.

Always love your explanation vids, Geekdom! Keep up the good work!

I like the theory, but I have a different one that has always been my own head-canon. I believe the power comes from finally not being at odds with one's self. When you are not conflicted in your mind, your energy can flow much more freely.

"Do you believe in Magic?" Bibidi will _make_ you believe

I love your content! Please keep it coming! Dragon ball is my fav show

I don't know if somebody already said it, but I also think that Babidis magic somehow eliminates doubt. When you habe doubt about a topic, everything you think, feel, decide and do in said topic is underlined by questions like "is this right? Why am I doing this? Could I do something else? What happens when I lose or win or surrender or whatever" and other stuff. And like I think all athletes know, you cannot perform well wenn you are insecure about what you do. No matter what - when you run but doubt your ability or motivation or the fate of you or the other runners, you won't be as fast / agile like let me say, a beast. An animal who doesn't think, but just feels the drive to RUN - and it runs. As fast as physically possible, it just does it. Same goes for every discipline or action - exams, sex, gaming, lifting, fighting. Doubt hinders you, and you fall back and don't even come close to your full potential. Because WITHOUT doubt, we can achieve awesome things.

In the Manga I recall Babidi pondering about unlocking Vegeta's latent powers, a bit like what Guru and Old Kai can do. So probably they are two separate things the enslavement and the power boost.

The magic I like of babidi in the video game he is able to use his magic to also use your memory and bring back other evil foes.

For some reason probably nostalgia, but one of my favourite characters ever in dbz is Yakon,for me he had the coolest design.

How serendipitous I am in the middle of this arc in the Kai sub version.

I kind of liked when Geekdom pronounced Babidi as Bobby D like he did in one of his earlier videos.

When talking about dopamine and adrenaline I personally like to think that's how the kaioken works, as you have to first have the mental control to actually activate it (release controlled amounts of adrenaline) and the physical capability to control the increased energy output as with higher levels the strain is too great for long term use but with mental and physical training you gain more endurance when using it and become more efficient at modulating the released adrenaline. Just a thought I wanted to share 🙂.

This video was mad informative.

Well if you think back to how gohan and krillin got their potential unlocked on namek by the elder, and how gohan got that even more unlocked in the kaioshin realm by Supreme Kai. I think Babidi’s magic works the same way as this, but obviously in the “Dark” way. Especially how you mentioned the fact that Bibidi & Babidi’s magic rivaled the Kai’s at on point in time. You’re able to see these two sides of magic flourish as parellels in the Buu saga with Gohan and Vegeta. Vegeta unlocks his underlying strength & potential through the use of Babidi’s Dark Magic, and Gohan unlocks his through the use of the Kai’s Light/Good magic.

The magic unlocking some biochemistry aspect is a pretty neat idea. I think it might also just be that by tapping into the sinful part of a person, babidi makes them of that singular purpose and now that the good and evil within a person is no longer conflicting that is portrayed as an increase in power. However since it is artificial (Babidis magic) that’s why they got this junkie veiny look. I also want to mention toppo’s god transformation as an example, when he renounced justice for destruction it unlocks his power. Same thing happens with ssbe, vegeta realigns himself with his pride as the saiyan prince and it pushes him past his limit. This is true to the old school dragonball mystic martial arts themes that toriyama was reconnecting to in the buu saga.

for some reason David Bowies 'dance magic dance' song from the labyrinth came to mind when I read the title haha

Expanding on your idea about how he can influence dopamine and seratonin. There's a hormone known as Cortisol which is a bit like adrenaline and is present when we experience stress. I.e, if you were relaxing and then all of a sudden a fire alarm went off, cortisol would pump around your body signaling for your body to stop relaxing, stop digesting food etc, and all your energy would be pumped to your muscles, and you'd gain hightened senses so to speak, to either fight or run.

the video i needed ♡♡

You could also say that Babidi gets rid of your inhibitions and you're allowed to put your all into your goal.

I think babidis ability is the evil equivalent of the old Kais ability.

Good video geekdom

Geekdom, I've followed you since the start and I hope you read this comment in joy. Geekdom, continue this journey to a million subs

This Magic has Being into play Since the Release of DBZ Legends

I've always had the thought of if a human can control when we emit Serotonin and Dopamine basically "a controlled adrenaline rush" If we could that means you would be able to give yourself short or temporary burst of strength. Being a former athlete I wanted to be able to make myself have an adrenaline rush then be calm then have another in order to boost athletic performance but I never thought of any if this while playing sports so who knows if it works

The concept of dark magic in Dragonball always got me thinking of the possiblity of a Dark Super Saiyan. Aside from old school Broly and of course Goku Black in Super (even though he was just Zamasu in Goku's body), we've never actually seen a pure evil Super Saiyan before, so the idea of a Super Saiyan fueled by dark magic or evil ki just always seemed cool to me. Picture like a Saiyan character who is the inverse of a regular Saiyan character in terms of power and appearance. This Saiyan could have blonde hair in their base form, and when they go Super Saiyan, their hair turns black, and maybe they have red eyes or some other unique physical characteristic, and their body emits this dark, nightmarish energy. That's just my idea though.

I think it's a combo of your Neurochemical idea and something akin to Guru's potential unlocking

it will be that Moro knew bibidi and babidi......best video my brother

I'm currently re watching Dragonball. Why haven't they made it into an adventure style video game yet? So many DBZ games that are just fighter with the story, but I think an open world Dragonball game would be a major success if done correctly. I'm glad that super is kinda going back Tu basics with Moro you got a nice mix of Dragonball and DBZ in this most recent arch

Bibidi Babidi Buu, Babidi has taken control over you!

I also remember it being said bibidi cloned himself but I still considered it was his son.

@Geekdom101 : hey, I just wanted to let you know that (as I understand the subject) while a panic induced release of chemicals on your brain (including adrenaline but also endocannabinoids-internally produced thc sort of- and opiods peptides like endorphins-basically opiods produced inside the body to help alleviate pain from exertion like strenuous exercise) which can and do allow a given person to go from using about 65% of total gross motor skills(running, jumping, hitting, etc...; as opposed to fine motor skills like writing or drawing) to something approaching full capacity. This kind of short term burst of near superhuman strength is often called "histerical strength". However, the stories of a 120 lbs mother pulling a 3000 lbs car off their child in feats of adrenaline fueled superhuman strength are pretty much just urban legends. The most such a mother would be able to do is nearly max out their gross motor skills and lift maybe 35-45% more than they could usually. Then, after the opioid peptides, the endocannabinoids and the adrenaline wear off, they might find themself fairly severely injured; suffering ailments from muscle pulls/tears to cracked teeth from clenching their jaw too hard durring the feat of strength to damaging their neck or spine. Personally, I find science of pretty much all kinds fascinating and enjoy getting the chance to discuss it :)

Man idk I just like trianglespace more it's waaaay better!!!

Bibidi's design is way cooler than Babidi

I’m happy that Dragon ball super is exploring it’s own universe with the galactic patrol and history Maybe in the future we can get some stuff with U7 going to U6 or 11

You're talking about dopamine but you're more describing the effects of norepinephrine and adrenaline

Woo interesting!

I just noticed something: remember this scene in Cinderella? (The scene where that fairy said „bibidi, babidi, boo“) this is the origin of their names!

The majin mark matches vegetas hairline tbh

Therefore Babidi's spell doesn't raise your power, but unleashes your mental restrains - it pushes your body into its limit sacrificing pain receptors (similarly as Berserk armour does to Guts). Sadly, Geekdom only described what magic does, but not how it works or what is it. Well, it's Toriyama's fault for leaving explanations aside. That's why I hate unexplainable forces called magic. On the other hand, Full Metall Alchemist Brotherhood's magic system is a kind of magic I accept.

I'm not sure it has anything to do with Dopamine since humans in Dragon Ball can pretty dumb strong. The Z-senshi after training with Kami were pretty much all stronger than Raditz. Krillin after some powerups and being revived was able to slice off Freeza's tail (granted he was distracted). I think it's literally just Babidi using his magic to bring out the potential of people he controls since most characters can become pretty damn strong.

Fairy Godmother: *Am I a joke to you?*

I'm just glad that he doesn't say "Bobby-D" anymore :>

Do a video on the time chamber.

Bobbity could just be awaking some of their sleeping power like Guru and Old Kai did to like Gohan and krillin. which makes you wonder why doesn't old Kai do that for all the z fighters or why don't they ask him. I mean Mystic Yamcha we've got to see that right!!!

I bet it's pretty hard for all other Dragon Ball Z channels out there that can't just talk about old things whenever and still get good views.. hope everybody praying on super gets their content soon or at least you can hold off till project Kakarot lol

What is the song for the outro?

I was watching this on the pooper and I couldn't get it out. Here I sit all broken hearted, I tried to shit but I only farted.

I wouldn’t say dopamine can boost stopavich that far let alone vegita. Keep in mind they exhibited amplified ki boost. Although in vegitas case perhaps a controlled rage boost subconsciously. Perhaps babadi saw this and cranked in rage emotion.

Awesome fucking video as usual bro, once you said dopamine I was like this is dope (no pun intended) lol

What if everyone in the Tournament Of Power had the ability to go Mystic and Kaioken X20? Also if Gohan had SSJB? Goku already has Kaioken X20 SSJB, but also would Vegeta and Gohan, Frieza would go into his Golden form but with his buff form added on with Kaioken X20, Master Roshi would have his Buff form with Mystic and Kaioken X20, this also applies to Piccolo, Krillin, the Androids, etc., they all would go Mystic with Kaioken X20. I wonder how different the Tournament would be 😕

does this count in the transformation guide?

You the best 💪🏾💯 keep doing what you doing bro

It would be cool if they did a babidi arch on where he breaks out of hell with an army of all the villains of series

Where are new viddeos about the Transformation Guides?

I want to see a video on these mums lifting cars!

Dopamine serotonin?? Cmom dude you literally just made that up

@geekdom101 hey im curious just because i seen somewhere online that genjutsu from natuto would be able to defeat goku and vegeta and I always thought it would have no effect on them due to what vegeta displayed in this arc which I thought was complete control over babidis magic since babidi didnt make him do anything at all. Killing the civilians at the arena was in just a way to show goku he means buisness and i think babidi had no control over that. So personally I think sayians as strong as they were in the cell arc nd above wouldnt be affected by genjutsu due to the amount of physical nd metal training they already indured. Whats your thoughts on this

Interesting.

Yay!!!

I feel the dopamine theory is wrong. It's more like Guru unleashing the protectal of people. Fights in dragonball have never been about mundane strength. Power comes from Ki control, exercise and training of the body strengthen this control and allows for greater feats. I do think other spells were added onto Spovavich later on to make him insanely durable. Hints why he didn't die to a broken neck.

a demi god determined perspective granted to end episode

I still disagree with the huge power boost. Smoopovich and Yamu, sure, but Dabura and Vegeta were already that strong

He made them do the one punch man workout

so, a similar power to the original dragonball's devil man that goku fought in Baba's challenge.

When will you have some longies??? (Long videos)

Buddy only a small suggestion, the audio is quite low plz increase the volume

Paparapa is very funny!!

problem with the way that toriyama just creates these characters as it leads to the question "why were these guys when the shit went down!"questions like "where was beerus when the supreme Kai's were getting slaughtered, where was broly when whis scanned the universe for saiyans,and are you saying that Goku black killed Jiren and the pride trooper's!"in dragon Ball z we didn't have this problem because the arcs weren't that connected in a way that they affected each other but in super creating galactic characters with no explanation as where they were how they got there is creating plot holes on plot holes more questions than answers. am I right!

If only Hoi from Wrath of the Dragon was canon, he could have teamed up with Babidi.

Expert Master

Palpatine had the profound power of Force foresight, plus he was a Sith Master, which is, without the foresight ability, about as powerful as Yoda as the Grand Master. Beyond his Force powers, his aptitude for seeing future events unfold as he felt he had laid them was very advanced, thus his confidence in real time, thinking he could convince anyone of anything. If you thought you could predict the future, and it worked to the point where all of your plans unfolded perfectly and you become an Emperor of a GALAXY, it'd be easy to see how that particular ability could seduce him, leaving him vulnerable, and stupid.

It says that he just unleashes their potential a bit....

"fantastical " 😂😂

Babidi is the Voldemort of DBZ

Geekdom, you know Baba was all over Bibidi.

Mystical. Si-fi. Mystic. Godly beings.

The thing about "Magic" is that it defies logic and scientific reason. That's why it's magic. Yeah, you can try to give a more scientific explanation to a character's magical abilities, but it's not really necessary. His magic gives them a power boost during possession because it's magic. We're already dealing with a world that doesn't makes sense on out real life scientific level, so when magic is involved, I just look at it as what it is, no explanations needed. On a side note, I would like an explanation on why Piccolo can't create Dragon Balls. I know he's meant to be part of the Warrior Clan and only Dragon Clan members can make dragon balls, by WHY is Piccolo part of the Warrior Clan? Piccolo Daimao was an evil Kami, created when Kami had to separate his evil from his body to become Kami. So Piccolo Daimao is literally just an evil clone of Kami, and thus a Dragon Clan Namekian. Piccolo Jr. is his son, and in a sense Kami's son, with Piccolo Daimao's life force infused in him. Wouldn't this mean Piccolo Jr. is also a member of the Dragon Clan? What determines whether a Namekian is Dragon or Warrior Clan?

Really itching for this youtube money lmaoooooo

Sorry but when did the fight with Mr. Satan happen? Which episode?

He just made that explanation up

Dopamine and adrenaline desn't realy explain how spopovich could turn his broken neck and continue fighting

That mother super strength is sudo science

Geekdom telling people things free of charge

6:44 WHEN!!!?

Dragon ball is life

In all honesty, I took Babadi's dark magic as another "selling your soul to the devil" cliche. It gives you power, but you lose yourself in the midst (amplifying one's inner darkness). Plus the Xenoverse series re-used this gimmick in both the story mode and parallel quests. Out of everyone that fell under the spell, Vegeta was a unique case: Sure he may have wanted to settle the score with Goku at all costs, but he retained his humanity when dealing with Majin Buu (meaning with a strong enough willpower, you won't be a mind slave).

So... is the only reason Beerus is alive because the grand supreme kai is inside fat Buu? He dies if the Grand supreme kai dies right? The current supreme kai isn’t a grand supreme kai right? Or does it take every supreme kai dying for Beerus to die? Or is he the de facto grand supreme kai? The plot point of destroyers dying if the supreme kai does doesn’t make sense to me when there’s four of them and a kai above those four

Wonder if Moro trained Bibidi
