Sign: Meatball

TN: Well now that it's all over, I'm about to get a bit personal with my comment...(takes deep breath)...I think we've just witnessed a bunch of nothing. No, this wasn't the worst fight in Bo-bobo history...but it probably was one of the most chaotic. I guess the way to understand my thought line is this: the only real purpose of this fight was to reveal Softon as Beauty's big brother...which it did. But that's probably the only really good thing that the fight dealt with if you think about it. While Yuuko/Icen was a fun villainess, she really never explained anything further about the power of Babylon and just seemed to further the theory that the whole thing is just one giant poop joke. Hell Dolphin was there for the contest...and Shell was more controlling the fight more than the rest of them. (let alone this: what was the Club Stage for anyway, let alone the whole dance fight in the previous chapter?) And that Yabou...heck, if you find out a character's name from his defeat profile, you know how much he did. He merely just smirked, made a comment back when the arc started about promotional opportunities, then took every single attack thrown at him! What was Yabou's point!? And of course there's the whole Kesshii Keshi Keshi aspect on Bo-bobo's side...OK, it's a bit clearer now but...only a bit. This isn't like the Fine fight where no one could replace anyone (see Tennosuke taking over for Softon) but why was Dengaku Man part of it (doing as little as Yabou) and Torpedo Girl (who had that beginning match with Hell Dolphin and part of that super-attack) not? Heck, why wasn't Tennosuke melting in the water like he usually did!?!? I know, I'm making too much out of nothing and there were good moments...but this one was really flawed for a lot of the decisions made at certain points. Oh well...at least with this one down, there's one tower left before Bi-bibi...of course it's obvious that Shigeki X will be coming up considering he hasn't moved from said tower...but hopefully it isn't as chaotic.
