<p>As jphager2's answer points out, they needed to know where Babidi was hiding. The Supreme Kais were willing to let Gohan's energy be drained because they never thought he, and the other Z fighters, were so strong. Maybe if they knew that Gohan's energy would fill half of Buu's energy need they would not have taken the risk.</p>

<p>I'm confused as to why Supreme Kai paralyzed Gohan for his energy to be drained. </p>

<p>Couldn't they have just eliminated Babidi so that Buu wouldn't be resurrected?</p>

Was it necessary for the Kais to let Gohan's energy be drained for Buu?
