redemption is a willing choice to be a better person - being forced into good is akin to a lobotomy, chemical rewiring or so on.. even Kid Buu being wished into Uub doesn't count as Kid Buu redeeming - you could argue once a character's mind is wiped they basically become a completely different person.. in order to redeem they'd have to be the same person they were when they committed crimes and be able to say that they were wrong and then do the necessary steps to make up for it (..a good example is Vader, who redeemed himself by finally realizing the Sith were evil all along and saving his son via direct action, even though he knew it would kill him.. this was Vader's choice, it was not forced upon him by magic, chemicals or brain-surgery).
