Mental abilities, if Goku shown some form of mental power can this apply or mean that he has some form of defense against something like mindcrush? |

He can read minds and has telepathy, but so far he hasn't shown any kind of resistance towards mindcrushing or mindwiping abilities. He has been hypnotized before, hasn't he? As a kid, right? Even though that wasn't such impressive hypnosis and Goku might've developed that weakness through training. |
Piccolo: Just how many people have you sacrificed?! Cell: Sacrifice? Hmph, rubbish! On the contrary, it is an honor to become a fraction of my power. | |

Apparently they can casually do "telephatic" training. Check this out: ![]() Look at what it says:
Perhaps these two stuff might answer your question. |

I don't think he has the mental training for magic, like Mind Crush. |

Vegeta sort of resisted Babidi's control. He resisted outright control, but he was still influenced by the magic and made heartless...But Babidi's magic didn't really show any good control. Dabra disobeyed him with no problems when he tried killing Boo. I don't think Babidi ever actually controlled anyone. Vegeta's resistance to mind control seems rather lame when you realize Babidi didn't even control Spopovitch or Yamu |

Mental abilities and psychological warfare in general is rare in the DBZ universe and largely unexplored. If you ask me, it has a lot of potential since it pertains moreso to mental fortitude and strength of character than power level. I couldn't see Goku using offensive mental powers. Training his mind to better resist psychological attacks is one thing, but attacking people with his mind like Babidi does? It wouldn't fit his character. Come to think of it, have we ever seen things like psychological warfare/torture used besides with Babidi in DBZ? |

I personally subscribe to the idea that Goku's too damn stupid to be attacked effectively by mind attacks. jk. As far as defense goes... we haven't really seen anything too impressive as lazer has pointed out. DBZ seems to be stuck in a more physical combat rules, all ya'll else suck mindset. That being said, the only one I can see out of the Z-Crew that would likely use mental attacks would probably be Piccolo, him or Dende. |

There's no denying that the things the Z-Fighters are capable of with their minds are immense and there's no limit to what they can achieve through their minds alone (i.e Saiyans achieving ASSJ through meditation and Kami expelling his evil through meditation). But I highly doubt they'd be able to survive Mind Crush unless they witness the move (Without it being used on them) and come up with a counter/defence for it through meditative training, similar to the Mafuba.

I feel like all the Z fighters (except maybe Vegeta, Piccolo, and Gohan) would be extremely vulnerable to mental attacks (especially Goku). In fact, I could see such a saga having one of these outcomes (1) Gohan, Piccolo, and/or Vegeta have to work together to free the other Z fighters from their mental prisons (2) Goku would break out of the mental prison due to some bs SSJ power-up. The first scenario seems far more appealing. |

He did control Pui Pui and Yakon, though. |

Yakon isn't exactly the number one candidate for intelligence and mental resistance. The dude it literally a step away from being a mindless beast. |

I meant full control as in moving them like puppets. No, it was abundantly clear that each was in control of their bodies. Chapter: 449 (DBZ 255), P4.6 Context: talking about facing Vegeta alone. Pui-Pui: “Fuhihihihi…Lord Babidi told me to be careful since these guys have strong energy, but it looks like they’re just a bunch of morons…” If Babidi fully controlled them, he wouldn't have any need to tell Pui Pui anything |
