No it isn't.

1) We don't need a dragon to fight the invaders we know about. So far, it's turning out to look to be as much of a political challenge as it might be a combat one. Something that will be made harder if people begin to worry about our intentions because wer are coming off as ambitious, by the way.
Besides, as long as he is not a thread... well, whether he recovers or not is his choice.
^What he said.
He has no way of communicating beyond Garenhuld without psychic powers, and we really don't need more power to fight the invaders. The whole point of that little crisis is beating them without giving away how strong we are.
I think this is a case of miscommunication? It is not that it gives us access to his knowledge, is that he can only share it with us and if someone wants to ask him about something, they would have to come through us.
Let's us control the seal. When we asked if he could talk to the cat, the sorcerers said in the update that, if sealed in a cat, in theory the cat would have control on how much the seal lets slip through.
Will the quest be as fun to read if Kakara develops a Power-Hungry trait? That miiight happen if Kakara's Ambitious trait pushes her over the edge into imprisoning another sentient being inside herself for personal power, and power does seem to be a major motivation here.
Yes.
It is explicitly unknown if we would get any power from this, and even more unknown how it would function. There is no citation.
Now see, I respect that you have this feeling that Power-Hungry Kakara is going to be more fun to read than Regular Kakara.
That actually raises a question in my mind (and I'm re-pinging only because my last ping attempt was, I think, misspelled and may not have taken effect)...
We can control the seal itself, we don't know if we can do anything with his power in it, by WOG.
Neither of which is a good thing.
It doesn't say it gives you control of it's powers; it says you have control on whether those powers can slip through the seal.
Rereading the options for Year 5, and we had this option in the saiyan subsection The Pulse of Life, which could be good for a 'free' action for Kakara.
Uhhh... wait what?
!No. No we do not.
Also this.
Please, enough with the fearmongering and blatant strawmanning. We're not going to turn power-hungry because we imprisoned a xenocidal world-destroying dragon in our head in an atttempt to reform him and limit the possible damage he can cause to his surroundings, even as a chibi-dragon. That we might gain powers from him is a secondary concern to voters and I'm fairly sure Kakara would feel the same way.
Hmmm. Fair enough.Uhhh... wait what?
Firstly, we don't need more power to break the seal. We could have broken the seal at any point in the past several years, just by pouring in enough power to short it out. Any super-saiyan could do this, and I suspect the main reason Yammar hasn't already is that Dandeer has agents watching him.
The hard part isn't "how do we break the Seal from the outside with access to Jaron?" It's making sure the political consequences don't get out of control, and finding a way to do it without killing Jaron (or, rather, by replacing him with Jaffur, which amounts to the same thing).
As to the 'backup redoubt panic room' idea...
I'm really skeptical of the idea that we'll be able to withdraw our own mind or 'self' inside the seal. It's not designed for that. It may or may not be possible for us to control it from inside, too, so that after we lower the barrier to let ourselves in, we may not be able to raise it again to keep others out.
Plus, if we raised the barrier again, we'd be locked inside, with no contact with the outside world and no way to know when, if ever, it would be safe to come out. Trapped, in a panic room inside our own mind. With Dazarel the Emo Dragon. Indefinitely.
Honestly it might be kinder to just let Dandeer erase Kakara at that point.
That's explicitly not the reasoning anyone in this thread is giving - Poptart reads the thread and it influences updates. The arguments have been entirely about power, with a lackluster "it's totally better to rehabilitate someone by sealing them into our mind with no interaction with anyone else than letting him have conversations with people who aren't us".
