Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo belongs to Yoshio Sawai, Weekly and Viz's Shonen Jump and Toei Animation. Don't know the US company involved with the anime, but I'm using their dub names. Any non-dub names used are of characters not yet introduced. I have no ownership of this, but I sure want merchandise. Sell it to me please! And more manga, please! Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo rocks! All anime mentioned don't belong to me, either. Kyo Kara Maoh is this anime that's a mixture of Fushigi Yugi and He-Man, where slapping someone is a marriage proposal. Feed my c2 list and forum!

"This week's episode had so many things for slashers to grab a hold of, I took notes and hopefully I'll move the plot forward but I won't promise anything."

Softon put back on Beauty's clothes that day in Poo-Poo City, hoping Jelly Jiggler would've found him more attractive. Unfortunately only Gasser saw him. Yeah.

But nothing beat having Jelly at his side in battle. He was so brave, letting the enemy eat him. It accomplished nothing but Softon realized his attraction wasn't just for Jelly's smooth topaz form but for his warrior-ness, regardless of how useless it could be. Who knew love took the form of a run-on sentence.

Thoughts of Jelly gave Softon sparkly eyes and made him fly, but Jelly lagged behind. Did that mean he didn't feel the same way? And what about Jelly and Don Patch flying up together?

"Are you ok?" Gyorai asked.

He had wound up in another chapter.

Serviceman had taken his brooding indoors, sitting on a couch eating ice cream and watching TV. Because of what was most likely part of a scene cut from the Japanese version, Gasser had quickly punched Serviceman.

Serviceman rubbed his cheek, even though it had been months ago and didn't hurt anymore. It hurt in his heart or some such pathetic romantic fallacy. But before Serviceman could admit to it, Kyo Kara Maoh came on.

Did that mean Gasser had proposed since the UStv version of the scene didn't show a reason for his attack? Tsk, tsk. Cut scenes fuel speculative fiction of the worst kind.

Don Patch liked playing off of Jelly, from grieving widow to fellow ninja, because he did have the right booming voice. But did that mean it was love? Don did have Moments with Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo and Captain Battleship as well, and perhaps others. I mean, could his desire to be the female lead stem from secret Feelings for Gasser? But Gasser was taken, Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo seemed oblivious and Don Patch wasn't keen on being stuck with all those kids he's had with Captain Battleship. And no, just because he asked for a picture of Serviceman's goods was not sign of Feelings or Attraction. Or was it? Ah, the uncertainties of a slash-built world. Lalalala!

Anyway, the rescue party had stopped yet again, this time watching videos of themselves on you tube. In the first ending theme, Shiawase, Hatenkou passed by Captain Battleship and looked over at him for a second. Don Patch crossed Captain Battleship off his pairing list. It wasn't classy to muscle in on the guy your godson was eyeing even if you had already had octopus children together. So, yeah, the stop did contribute to the plot in a way. Jelly can't be rescued until everyone's feelings for him and each other are sorted out. You know, just like real life.

Oh, and Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo looked over at Don Patch. That means he likes him, ok?

"Jelly, you don't have to give me your consent right away. You have been through a lot. Tofu, watch him," Tsar Baldy Bald IV said.

So Tofu and Jelly stared at each other. For a long, long time.

Jelly's eyes were full of uncertainty. And I probably should have used the thesaurus but it's getting late, so deal.

"You like the tsar, don't you?" Jelly said quietly.

General Tofu's eyes widened. How could he have known? He'd just looked at his ruler with adoring eyes, stole glances at his behind as he left, and glared at Jelly for nearly an hour now.

Jelly smiled, "You've been by his side all this time… how can I even think of considering…"

Tofu's eyes watered and he grabbed Jelly's hands, "The most important thing is his happiness. If he thinks it's winning over you and you complying, that's good enough for me."

Jelly and Tofu burst into tears. Tofu's tears were a mix of newfound happiness and further despair. His beloved tsar had his intended in a malleable state, and what a good choice it looked to be. Jelly was willing to give him a chance with the tsar if it meant his highness' happiness. Now, Tofu felt he was in love with them both. He couldn't imagine a better couple, but was he getting ahead of himself?

The plot did advance! Kinda. Next week's installment will be after the weekend 'cuz I'm hitting the Olympics. As soon as I dig up the next ep on TiVo, you will get another installment. I just can't believe I've written more installments than reviews. Is it the title?
