TN: There's little you really can say after reading this chapter. Somehow Sawai has just upped the drama and created even more tension, even with a tragedy here or there (poor Bu-bubu...and who knows where Bo-bobo stands without his Hair Ball) in this climactic final showdown! Sure there were funny moments...but there's so much drama you can't say much on what they did.

Oh, there is the whole Pickles matter too: yeah, he was annoying. At least Don Patch made it short.
