@Henkyo Plot holes usually occur for 2 reasons: 1. different writers and the second writer didn't really study the work of the first one. and 2. Too much time passed and the writer simply forgets as part of getting old (what occurred for much of the plot of DBS).

This is likely a plot hole (or more likely than that, simply a gag to show of strength, not dissimilar to the Arale appearances). But one can rationalize this by not looking at how Vegito was able to do something extraordinary but more so how other victims were not able to do something ordinary.

The first usage of the transfiguration beam was the first on screen appearance of Majin Buu (the fat one) against Dabura, where he turned Dabura into a cookie. What we do know is that Dabura was not *literally* turned into a cookie, a cookie being an inanimate, lifeless object. This we can infer because when he was turned into a cookie, he didn't lose his life (as the characters explain, those turned to stone will only be restored when Dabura dies). He did die when he was eaten, not unlike how almost any live animal dies when they are eaten.
