Hatenko: Oyabin’s late…
Voice: Hey—there are plenty of sacrifices.
Crimson: NOW, SHALL WE DO IT?

TN: I think we've all learned a lesson from this chapter: if you are fighting a bag or sack and they ask you to open them...DON'T DO IT! If the world is destroyed due to your Pandora-like nature, I am not at fault for the results! Outside that, somehow this chapter just felt like an amazing trip down memory lane with many of the great Bo-bobo moments revisted in this bizarre manner: from giant robots to the Super Bo-bobo activation, and from the bears and nosehairs to...Don Patch as Beauty. If you're a Bo-bobo fan, you definately felt the nostalgia this time around. Meanwhile, you just have to wonder about those who made it all the way to the Maruhage Castle to be...um, sacrificed to Crimson and LOVE. You can imagine some of them rather easily (pretty much all of the Heavenly Kings and Giga...even with his former encounter with Crimson) and even a couple of the sneak ins (I swear Ruby was behind OVER all that time, and of course TOKIO was with Halekulani, Kinen with Purupuu & Suzu with Gunkan) but...how the heck did Haou get there!? Heck I can even get Jeda (he's the strongest of the Former Maruhage left with Hanpen & Lambada elsewhere) but isn't Haou a bit...weaker without his brothers? Yeah I know he is strong on his own but if he had Beep and Megafan helping he could have been unstoppable...but oh well, who knows how long he'll last.
