movies/tv Majin Seal vs Twilight Sparkle

[Hive King 2,001]

Babidi decides to enslave Twilight for his coven and tries out the Majin spell on her(this disregards debates about Twilight being purehearted) Can Twilight resist it?

 

THIS ISN'T A BATTLE THREAD, IT'S WHETHER TWILIGHT CAN DEAL WITH THE MAJIN SEAL!

 

I doubt Twilight can take the Majin Seal. It had Vegeta on his knees, screaming in pain from it. Kaioshin was scared shitless of Babidi's magic and its effects on powerful fighters. Even Dabra, who seems fairly strong willed, given his breaking free of Babidi's control, fell under its influence, at least initially

Twilight Sparkle hasn't shown any resistance to mind control. All the times she's been under mind control, her friends have gotten her out of it. Having said that, she won't be able to fight off the effects, let alone resist the pain that apparently comes with it.

Well, Discord didn't try to brainwash her, though this could be attributed to him wanting to break her the old fashioned way(though I don't know why she turned grey, Discord used no magic on her...or did he?). Sunset Shimmer or Chrysalis didn't try it either, but Chrysalis's plan had more holes than herself and Sunset Shimmer tried to barbecue Twilight

She didn't actually go under mind control, she just became the opposite of her element. I'm pretty sure the only ones that were brainwashed were Applejack and Fluttershy.

 

The only time she's been mind controlled is at Sombra's door, where Spike broke her out of it, and in the comics during the Nightmare Moon arc, where Luna went into her mind and broke her out of it

I'm completely lost on this, I haven't made it past the Cell Saga in DBZ. Care to "dumb it down" a little?

Define dumb down. And if you haven't looked at the Babidi Saga, there isn't much to see in this thread, though the video I posted can give you a good example of the power of the Majin Seal when it comes to possessing people

 

Yes, it only works on people with darkness in their hearts, but for the purpose of this thread, that has been taken out of the picture

Essentially, this:

Mind control that takes over those that are weak in heart.

But Twilight isn't weak in heart?

Well, not necessarily weak in heart, those that have evil in their heart, which Twilight doesn't. It was disabled for the purposes of this thread, though, so we're essentially debating on whether she can resist the mind control.

Oh okay then, I would say she could. ^^

[Hive King 2,001]

It's not a weak of heart issue, Dabra certainly isn't. The issue is that the spell is excruciatingly painful and to break free from it requires someone to go above and beyond in terms of will power. 

 

Twilight does not fit into that category. She is not confident in herself and in Rainbow Rocks, she didn't reveal her uncomfortability with everything. This doesn't feel like someone with tons of will power. Fluttershy could debatably have more, given her strongly she defends her ideals and that Discord had to take personal effort to corrupt her

Not really arguing; she hasn't shown anything that would allow her to resist that level of mind control.

Majin Seal doesn't work on Twilight cuz she's too pure. It only works on those who have evil in their heart.

Read the original post, it's not about that.

[Sazama Ichida 2,367]

A more interesting topic would be "would it work on Sunset Shimmer or not?" Hmmm I'm really not sure...Though it DID appear that the elements of Harmony completely purified her heart.

I've said several times we're disregarding the purity of heart factor and putting it down to will power(though Twilight being pure is debatable)

I know. Missed that part at first.
