Yeah, Bun-bun's ineffectuality in this strip is really odd. Ah well.
I've been thinking... The contrast between the two conflicts is confusing, given that they both occurred in the near zero-g environment of Earth's orbit. So maybe Bun-Bun isn't so "stupid" - nor so easily rendered 'helpless'. It's a way of losing face without losing face, if you know what I mean. He'll go along with the rescue and ultimate saving the Earth - but not before making it clear that he has a score to settle with Oasis and will not be satisfied until it is settled. He is neither stupid, nor ineffectual, merely temporarily and reluctantly compliant...
