That's exactly why Big Man Upstairs sends Dokuro-chan, one of his angelic assassins, in the past to "treat" with the sicko who messed up nature!

But Dokuro-chan decides to settle with his target, Sakura Kusakabe, and keep him too busy to find eternal life. Funny enough, the path of non-violence leads to a fountain of blood, while Dokuro-chan accidentally kills Sakura almost every day to resurrect him moments later with a magical song.


The company will launch Bobobo-bo Bobo-bo as a standard-definition Blu-ray disc game featuring 76 episodes, in English and Japanese, with subtitles. The animated TV series 2003-2006 adapts Yoshio Sawai's great comedy manga. Cartoon Network broadcast the series on US television in 2005 and Viz Media has released some of the original manga.

In a world where hair is free, only one man is brave enough to defend the follicles of innocent militant troops of the Marble Hunt: BOBOBO-BO BO-BOBO!
