| 4 | !Main Characters |
| 5 | [[folder:In General]] |
| 6 | * ArtShift: The characters will go from their normal faces to extremely realistic faces at times, especially with Jelly Jiggler and Don Patch when they go OhCrap. |
| 7 | * CalvinBall: How the group usually fights like, completely without rhyme or logic |
| 8 | * CloudCuckooLander: The only sane ones are Beauty, Gasser, Softon and to a lesser extent, Hatenko, but even they have their moments. Bobobo and especially, Don Patch are the ones who are the most nonsensical with Tokoro Tennosuke/Jelly Jiggler, Dengakuman, and [[NotSoAboveItAll Torpedo Girl]] being not so far behind. |
| 9 | * ComicallyInvincibleHero: The heroes often win handily against their enemies in very one-sided bouts either through CalvinBall logic or direct combat, with no damage, let alone any real lasting damage against tougher enemies. Only a TerribleTrio, a particularly dangerous henchman, or the [[ArcVillain villain of the arc]] manages to be any tangible threat at first, but in the end, they suffer the same humiliation as soon as Bobobo and co's antics cause them to break down mentally, Bobobo pulls out an over-the-top technique, or [[FusionDance use fusion]] to pull out a victory. |
| 10 | * FusionDance: Bobobo can do this with Don Patch, Jelly Jiggler, and Dengakuman [[spoiler: as well as Torpedo Girl near the finale of part 1]] to become {{Bishonen}} characters that bear no resemblance to their fusees, (though Patchbobo resembles Don Patch in eyes and hair) |
| 11 | * HeelFaceTurn mixed with DefeatMeansFriendship, only three members [[spoiler: excluding Gasser who was initially associated with the group till the sequel]] had never been members of the Hair Hunters at any point of the series. |
| 12 | * IdiotHero: Only Softon, Beauty, Gasser, and to a lesser extent, Hatenko, come up as the most mature and sensible people of the group [[NotSoAboveItAll most of the time]]. Don Patch stands out as the most idiotic, in particular, weaponized his stupidity at several points. Bobobo [[ObfuscatingStupidity alternates between hiding his rare bouts of worldly experience]] behind his [[GeniusDitz often inane behavior]]. Tokoro Tennosuke/Jelly Jiggler, Dengakuman, and Torpedo Girl alternate between having some iota of common sense or indulging in the silly behavior of the others at any moment. |
| 13 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While they are united by friendship, so much is hidden by the fact, that they constantly humiliate, ridicule, and often abuse each other for little to no reason. Bobobo himself is the biggest offender. |
| 14 | * RagTagBunchOfMisfits: An blonde afro man with nose hair, a star-like thingy, his key-powered lackey, a poo-I mean ice cream-headed man, a living jelly, a cute "dog", [[spoiler: a torpedo]] and two kids; not the usual group to go against the forces of evil |
| 15 | * VitriolicBestBuds: An extremely messed up example, they are constantly being abused by each other both inside and outside of fighting, often for no reason. Bobobo himself is extremely guilty of being like this. |

| 21 | |
| 22 | The main protagonist of the series, Bobobo-Bo Bo-bobo (or "Bo-bobo", for short) is a man who's made it his mission to put an end to the Chrome Dome Empire. He wields the "Hanage Shinken", or "the Super Fist of the Nose Hair", which grants him the uncanny ability to control his nose hairs like whips. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | He's a CloudCuckooLander in every sense of the trope, being so incomprehensible and there even characters who're just as strange as him are perplexed by him. In fact, one Toonami promo said it best: |
| 25 | -->"He's a complicated man. No one understands him except his woman...actually, I don't think anyone understands him." |
| 26 | ---- |
| 27 | * AfroAsskicker: To the point that his afro will sometimes be part of his attack. |
| 28 | * AmbiguouslyBrown: Is he a light-skinned black guy with blond hair, or a white guy with a tan? Made more ambiguous with his siblings being obviously Caucasian, as well as {{Bishonen}} and Bishoujo respectively. |
| 29 | * AntiHero: [[GoodIsNotNice Type III]], while he does have a strong sense of moral code, he's very merciless to his teammates for little to no reason, [[MoralityPet except Beauty]]. |
| 30 | * AxCrazy: PlayedForLaughs. He is completely and utterly erratic and nonsensical and prone to randomly attacking anybody who isn't Beauty, Gasser, or Softon, not to mention getting surprisingly violent in a fight. |
| 31 | * ChaoticStupid: Practically nothing he does makes any amount of sense. His entire being is driven by RuleOfFunny. |
| 32 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: It's jarring to see how Bobobo was much less compelled to subject his allies that weren't Beauty to [[UnfriendlyFire attacks along with the enemy or use them as human shields]] than he would be later. |
| 33 | * ClothesMakeTheSuperman: In the beginning of the Former Chrome Dome Empire arc, he gains a new jacket, which endowed with new abilities turns him into Super Bobobo. |
| 34 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: A poster boy for this trope, almost everything coming from his mouth is InsaneTrollLogic by the truckload. |
| 35 | * ColdHam: In the Spanish dub. Even his most energetic lines come from a very deadpan voice. |
| 36 | * ComicallyInvincibleHero: Bo-bobo rarely gets hurt by his enemies. He'll either negate the effects of their attacks through the sheer power of ConfusionFu, or use Don Patch and Jelly Jiggler as meat shields and let them take the pain. There is a discussion that Bo-bobo is one of, if not the, most powerful character created in all Shonen anime. |
| 37 | * ConfusionFu: When he isn't using Fist of the Nosehair, he's confusing his opponents into submission with his unpredictable attacks. |
| 38 | * CraniumCompartment: He opens his head at least once. A duck lives inside it. |
| 39 | * CreepyCrossdresser: The usual result of a large, muscle-bound man playing dress up. |
| 40 | * CrossDresser: Has a female personality regularly called Bo-boko (or "Bo-bobette" depending on which version you're watching). |
| 41 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Being abused by two horribly abusive brothers, then surviving the onslaught of his entire home [[spoiler: caused by one of his brothers]]. |
| 42 | * DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:Gets stabbed in the chest by Bi-bibi during their final battle, but resurrects a la the power of ''Hajike''/"Wiggin' Out"]]. |
| 43 | * EveryoneHasStandards: Sometimes things get so strange, even Bobobo gets confused. |
| 44 | ** The first example being when Captain Battleship bashes his own stomach with his hair. |
| 45 | -->'''Bobobo:''' Whoa, that was weird. |
| 46 | ** It's [[OOCISSeriousBusiness Bobobo]] and not Beauty or Gasser that calls Don Patch out on his weirdly perverted behavior when he's about to lick an ice cream cone. |
| 47 | ** Even he was weirded out Rice began his risqué gimmick. |
| 48 | ** Even he found [[spoiler: OVER's true form being Torpedo Girl]] too out of left field to comprehend at first. |
| 49 | * {{Expy}}: He's pretty much a goofy parody of [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar Kenshiro]], both of them being musclebound rebels battling against evil rulers who threaten to take over the world. "Fist of the Nose Hair" (spelled with the kanji for "true") is even a direct parody of "Fist of the North Star" (spelled with the kanji for "God"). [[spoiler:The reveal that Bo-bobo is the youngest of five siblings, with one of them being the main villain, is also a direct parody of Kenshiro, who is the youngest of five siblings, and one of them is Raoh, the main antagonist]]. |
| 50 | * GreenEyedMonster: Temporarily becomes one after the results of a character popularity poll come in, and he's only number six, despite being the star. He then goes on a rampage against everyone ranked higher than him (Don Patch, Gasser, Jelly Jiggler, and Dengakuman). He stops once he gets to Beauty, who he just can't bring himself to harm. |
| 51 | * HammerSpace: His afro. And his nostrils. Heck, his entire body is home to a number of other beings. |
| 52 | * HeroicComedicSociopath: Every other second he isn't bringing the hurt on the bad guys, he's using his allies as shields or attacking them for no reason. All except [[MoralityPet Beauty]]. |
| 53 | * HypocriticalHumor: Bo-bobo does this a lot. Whenever Don Patch or Jelly Jiggler get hurt, he'll swear revenge on his opponent...even though Bobobo tends to use them as meat shields, thus causing their injuries. Sometimes he'll just beat up on them for no reason, and then blame his opponent for it. |
| 54 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite all the physical abuse he gives to the group [[MoralityPet except Beauty]], especially to Jelly Jiggler and Don Patch, he cares about them. |
| 55 | * LargeHam: Though most of the things he says make no sense.[[note]]Actually, nothing he says makes sense...[[/note]] |
| 56 | * ManChild: He acts pretty immature most of the time, except to protect his friends (when he's not being overly weird). |
| 57 | * TheMentor: Acts as this towards Heppokomaru/Gasser, initially, it becomes less apparent as the series goes on. |
| 58 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: So much in Shinsetsu could've been avoided if Bobobo had just killed the Third instead of just defeating him. |
| 59 | * OnlySaneMan: It's rare, but whenever Beauty isn't around to be this, Bo-bobo takes her place on calling out ridiculous stunts, particularly during Don Patch's fight with Rice. |
| 60 | * PerpetualFrowner: He's quite the stoned-faced fellow under normal circumstances. Well... as normal as circumstances can get in a world like his. |
| 61 | * PrehensileHair: Nose hair is supposed to be his main fighting style, but it gets lost as Bobobo uses weirder and weirder techniques. |
| 62 | * RealityWarper: Bo-bobo can conjure up anything for an attack, making him extremely unpredictable. |
| 63 | * RepetitiveName: Like his other siblings, his name has a repetition of a B and vowel, in his case, the letter O. |
| 64 | * TheStoic: 10% of the time, when a fight gets serious, in fact is usually a PerpetualFrowner when not goofing off |
| 65 | ** NotSoStoic: 90% of the time, when he's acting dumb or ridiculous[[note]]Much to Beauty's chagrin...[[/note]] |
| 66 | * SharingABody: Not in a spiritual sense, but rather he has numerous characters living inside him, including the booger brigade, a man and wife who take care of his nosehair, and a squirrel with relationship troubles. |
| 67 | * SunglassesAtNight: The only time we ever see his eyes is during flashbacks to when he was a kid. [[spoiler: The second time, he's dead at the hands of Bibibi. He got better.]] |
| 68 | * ThouShaltNotKill: Despite how increasingly heinous his enemies get, he will stop short of actually killing them after their humiliation, with [[CruelMercy being spared by an enemy they looked on being even worse than being simply killed]], [[DefeatEqualsFriendship coming to common ground]], or [[SecretTestOfCharacter trying to get them to change their ways through the nonsensical hints he gives them]]. |
| 69 | ** This trait gets deconstructed by Czar Baldy Bald the III, [[UngratefulBastatd who not only ignores the lessons of the benefits of humanity but goes onto start a deadlier iteration of the Empire]]- being the BigBad of Part II. Bobobo realizes that [[BeyondRedemption the III doesn't deserve mercy after being spared once and proceeds to kill him to end his tyranny]]. |
| 70 | * TriangleShades: He has these, but due to [[RuleOfFunny the comedic standards of the show]], they will often [[ExpressiveMask act as his eyes to visibly show what he's expressing at the moment]]. |
| 71 | * UnfriendlyFire: Starting with the Wiggin Block Arc, Bobobo would often target his allies often intentionally in attacks along with his enemies, using them as human shields or just beating them up for no reason. |
| 72 | * VoluntaryShapeshifting: As a RealityWarper and ConfusionFu master, he can change into whatever he wants. It seems he can also use this to negate any enemies that might try to make him go through InvoluntaryShapeshifting. When Maitel uses his [[TakenForGranite Medusa Eyes]] to turn Don Patch into stone, Bo-bobo ends up as a carrot, a cabbage, and an eggplant instead. |

| 79 | Beauty is an ordinary young girl who comes across Bo-bobo during his attack on the Maruhage Empire's G-Block Unit in a small village. Feeling the need for adventure, she becomes the first companion to join him. She is unable to fight back, but shows signs of boldness on occasion, and it's her who [[MoralityPet serves as a motivator]] for Bo-bobo. |
| 80 | ----- |
| 81 | * AllGirlsLikePonies: Beauty wanting a pony is something of a RunningGag throughout the series. |
| 82 | * AudienceSurrogate: She's the one who comments on how random everything that happens around her is and reacts in exasperation to such sights. |
| 83 | * CoolBigSis: [[spoiler:After Heppokomaru/Gasser's sister Pokomi has her HeelFaceTurn,]] she comes to view Beauty as this. She protects Beauty, and Beauty cheers her up when she gets upset. |
| 84 | * DamselInDistress: Beauty is regularly put in danger, and Bobobo has to save her due to her lacking the combat skills of everyone else. |
| 85 | * DeadpanSnarker: When she's not shouting at the absurdity of everything, she tends to lambast it mercilessly. Sometimes both. |
| 86 | * {{Expy}}: Much like Bo-bobo is one to Kenshiro, Beauty is one of [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar Rin]], both of them being young girls that befriend the main hero after they save their village. However, while Rin starts off as a CuteMute, Beauty has a tendency to start screaming whenever something crazy is happening, which is rather often. |
| 87 | * FeminineWomenCanCook: [[AllThereInTheManual Side materials note]] that she's good at cooking. |
| 88 | * MoralityPet: To Bo-bobo and Softon, the latter being justified as [[spoiler: it's revealed that he's her lost older brother who cares deeply for her]] and for the former, she's the only one that isn't a victim of his [[UnfriendlyFire targeting even his own allies]] tactics. |
| 89 | * NeutralFemale: As she's just a village girl with no Super Fist or fighting experience whatsoever, she does nothing in the series besides react to the bizarre goings-on around her, which makes one wonder why Bo-bobo bothered to bring her along in the first place. [[spoiler:The only time she subverts this is when Bo-bobo dies and she puts on his sunglasses, where she gains his powers for a short while and deals some damage to Bi-bibi.]] |
| 90 | * NotSoAboveItAll: At the end of ''Shinsetsu'', Heppokomaru/Gasser asks her ''why'' she ultimately decided to join Bo-bobo at the very beginning out of curiosity. Her answer? [[spoiler:She wanted to have a "Wiggin'" adventure of her own. She admits it ''did'' take all her might to act as the OnlySaneWoman, but she considered everything about it to be fun, including the antics the others got up to.]] Heppokomaru/Gasser can only look surprised before admitting he can't help but agree. |
| 91 | * OnlySaneWoman: She is without a doubt the sanest member of the group. Even then, she has been known to occasionally accept the insanity of the show, and on very rare occasions, get involved. |
| 92 | * {{Protectorate}}: To Bo-bobo and Heppokomaru/Gasser, the latter being romantic in nature and the former being somewhat of a [[PapaWolf fatherly type in nature]] in that he doesn't use her as a shield, attack for no reason or weapon against an enemy. |
| 93 | * ShipTease: With Gasser. |
| 94 | * SuddenlyShouting: She'll start shouting whenever something absurd happens, which is all the time. |
| 95 | * TheTeamNormal: Out of the main group, she's the only one with some of Super Fist technique and a [[OnlySaneMan tight grip on sanity]]. |
| 96 | * TookALevelInBadass: A non-power involved one, during the Empire Playoffs Arc, after she gets fed up of the group's antics, she decides to fight herself. She finds [[ArcVillain HALEKULANI]] and is actually willing to fight him, although he refuses. |
| 97 | * TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Her girly girl to Suzu's tomboy. |
| 98 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Hamburgers. |
| 99 | * UnfazedEveryman: Downplayed in that while she expects the weirdness after being with the group for a while, the sheer [[SurrealHumor unpredictable and bizarre imagery or logic she sees]] will still lead her to [[WildTake exasperate in an exaggerated manner]] to it. |
| 100 | * WildTake: It's the series' primary RunningGag, but she does this so much, it might as well be her default facial expression. |

| 107 | An orange shaped... sun... thing that leads a gang against the Hair Hunt Troops, he is [[DefeatEqualsFriendship "beaten"]] at his own game by Bo-bobo and since then became his [[TheLancer sidekick]], in destroying the empire. He's mostly a ButtMonkey in the fights, but does manage to defeat some of his enemies on his own. He's arguably more of a CloudCuckooLander than Bo-bobo. |
| 108 | ----- |
| 109 | * AchievementsInIgnorance: In his battle against the T-500, Don Patch just shrugs off his attacks. |
| 110 | -->'''Don Patch:''' It didn't work, because I'm a meathead! |
| 111 | * AmbiguouslyGay: With literally most of the people, flirting with almost every male he comes across, this is especially the case when he's in his Patches persona. [[spoiler: Which is why he doesn't notice Bububu's feelings towards him.]] |
| 112 | ** Adding to this, his apparent "worst nightmare" is being surrounded by a group of beautiful young girls in PlayboyBunny outfits. On the other hand, he doesn't look at all displeased with what's going on, and his reasoning for this being his "worst nightmare" is that one of them isn't cute. [[InformedFlaw Or so he says.]] |
| 113 | ** During their battle with OVER, Don Patch tries to kiss over while they've got him tied down, only for OVER to knock him away. |
| 114 | * ArtShift: His face, moreso than anyone else in the show, is subject to changing in a myriad of different ways. He could look normal one second, and then the next he could be [[http://i.imgur.com/PiFTCec.png handsome]], [[http://i.imgur.com/7Ya2uM1.jpg ugly]], or [[Anime/DragonBallZ Vegeta]]. |
| 115 | * AttentionWhore: Regularly attempts to steal the spotlight from other characters, because he believes that he is the actual star of the show. He even goes so far as to attack Beauty occasionally, if she gets too much attention. |
| 116 | %% Doesn't explain what the reaction is. * BerserkButton: Telling him that he isn't the star of the show. |
| 117 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: In spite of his rather odd behavior, he's actually very powerful, managing to defeat a Big 4 member from two respective versions of the Chrome Dome Empire by himself as well as being a master of [[ConfusionFu the Wiggin' style of combat]]. |
| 118 | * BoisterousWeakling: Initially, he would talk a big game, but he would immediately get beat up. As the series went on, this got reduced as he began to take enemies easily by himself. |
| 119 | * BreakoutCharacter: He manages to get two spin-off manga with himself as the star, proving to be the most popular character in the show. |
| 120 | * ButtMonkey: Like most of Bobobo's allies, Don Patch gets some really bad treatment during battles, from being used as a shield, to simply being attacked by Bobobo for no reason. |
| 121 | ** IronButtMonkey: And in spite of any injuries or humiliations he'll undergo, he'll still be able to recover from it almost instantaneously. |
| 122 | * CartoonCreature: Seriously, what is he? The only hint we have is that he's based on Konpeito, a type of Japanese rock candy, which is why the US manga changed his name to match the American equivalent, Pop Rocks. |
| 123 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: Earlier arcs in the series stressed that Don Patch was a [[BoisterousWeakling physically ineffectual fighter in spite of his vain boasting]], which comes across as jarring when [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass he's later portrayed as being able to easily defeat enemies with his fists]]. |
| 124 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: One of the biggest in the series, and that's saying something. |
| 125 | * ConfusionFu: He was once crowned the King of Wiggin Specialists. When he isn't being the ButtMonkey to Bo-bobo's antics, he's actually a very powerful Wiggin Specialist who can take down some of the toughest opponents in the show by himself. |
| 126 | * CrossDresser: Has a female persona named Patches. Patches is known to carry around with her a doll called Ya-ya that is treated like a child. |
| 127 | * DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: When he subjects Kitty-Poo to a [[CurbStompBattle instantaneous defeat, even by the show's standards]], [[InformedAbility due to being on the same scale of power of the last major enemy]]. Made even more impressive due to how [[BoisterousWeakling he had been characterized up till that point]]. |
| 128 | * DubNameChange: His name was changed to "Poppa Rocks" in the English manga. Odd, considering the English dub calls him by his original name. |
| 129 | ** "Poppa Rocks" is [[LipLock one more syllable]] than "Don Patch". |
| 130 | * {{Expy}}: He's obviously based on 90s [[MascotWithAttitude Mascots With Attitude]] such as [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic]] and VideoGame/{{Ristar}}, complete with the spikes, WhiteGloves, smirk, and even SuperMode. |
| 131 | * TheFightingNarcissist: In spite of being one of the main heroes, Don Patch is unapologetically vain, selfish and egotistical, viewing himself as the main character and often physically harming or threatening to harm others in order to mark sure it happens. |
| 132 | * IdiotBall: Has the ability to summon a literal one. However, whoever is hit with it [[SubvertedTrope becomes the best student in their class]]...''[[DoubleSubversion but it's a class where all the other students are stuffed bears.]]'' |
| 133 | ** He can also inject you with an Idiot Serum, which causes you to eventually think like him. Beauty finds this [[OhCrap terrifying due to its potential]]. |
| 134 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: He uses the "Don Patch Sword", which is really just a leek. [[StrongAsTheyNeedToBe It varies in competence depending on the situation.]] |
| 135 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: In spite of being a colossally selfish and at times, narcissistic person, he does care about his friends, enough to unlock a [[SuperMode transformation when one is hurt]]. |
| 136 | * TheLancer: To Bobobo, being the second most effective fighter of the whole group [[spoiler: in his Super Patch form.]] |
| 137 | * LargeHam: He's always making loud and boisterous boasts whenever he's being serious or in a state of weirding out. |
| 138 | * ObliviousToLove: Ironically in spite of his need to gain adoration and attention at every moment, [[spoiler: he's completely oblivious to Bububu's obvious romantic affections towards him]]. |
| 139 | * PieEyed: He's sometimes drawn this way. |
| 140 | * ThePowerOfHate [[spoiler:Professional Patch's source of power]] |
| 141 | * SmallNameBigEgo: Big time. He believes himself to be the show's real star, and constantly demands more speaking roles. In fact, sometimes his overinflated ego seems to give him more power. |
| 142 | ** This also extends to his female personality, who despises Beauty and wants to be the show's main heroine. Sometimes he'll even attack Beauty over this, earning him a beating from Bobobo. |
| 143 | * SuperMode: [[spoiler:Becomes Super Patch in the battle against Halon Oni.]] |
| 144 | * WhiteGloves: Has this for some reason. |
| 145 | * WholesomeCrossdresser: Don Patch interchanges between being boyish and girly in almost every scene he's in. |
| 146 | ** CreepyCrossdresser: At times. |

| 153 | A boy from a village destroyed by the Hair Hunt Troops, he joins Bo-bobo to both train and to avenge his hometown. While a competent fighter at first, he is soon [[TagalongKid demoted to the sidelines]] as the enemies grow out of his league. He and Beauty also develop a small mutual attraction to one another. He fights using the Fist of the Backwind. |
| 154 | |
| 155 | ---- |
| 156 | * AdaptationalDyeJob: In the manga, his eyes are red, in the anime, they are gold. |
| 157 | * AffectionateNickname: Is called "Hekkun" or "Gas Can" in the Dub by Beauty. |
| 158 | * AmuletOfDependency: Gasser's neck collar serves more than just making him look all punk. Attempting to master the fist of the back wind comes with a hefty price as it causes those practicing it to mentally regress to a baby like state. Gasser's neck collar helps him maintain his mature mentality and personality as without it, he pretty much acts like a baby and can become defenseless during battles. |
| 159 | * AnimeHair: He has spikey white hair. |
| 160 | * DoomedHometown: His hometown of Puu-puu City has been destroyed by the Hair Hunt troops [[spoiler: and Captain Battleship.]] |
| 161 | * {{Expy}}: Of [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar Bat]]. Both of them are runaways of their villages and end up tagging along with the main protagonist, though Bat leaves his village to spare food for the other children, while Gasser leaves his to find Bobobo and asks to help him become a better fighter. |
| 162 | * FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:In Shinsetsu.]] |
| 163 | * {{Fartillery}}: His power. |
| 164 | * FatalFlaw: His gas powers are completely negated by opponents who can either absorb them or blow them away. If his collar is removed, he can overcome this weakness. Sadly, when he fought Loincloth Lloyd, who could just blow away his attacks, his collar tried to undo itself, but ended up going the wrong way, choking Gasser and costing him the fight. |
| 165 | * FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler: In ''Shinsetsu'', he was forced to join the new Chrome Dome Empire due to them holding his younger sister, Pokomi, captive.]] |
| 166 | ** [[spoiler: Turns out she was there ''willingly.'' She joins up with the Rebels when she's defeated]] |
| 167 | * {{Gasshole}}: '''Weaponized''' ala his "Fist of the Back Wind." |
| 168 | * IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: [[spoiler:In Shinsetsu, in which in a desperate attempt to win against his former allies, he takes a demonic medicine, turning him into a demon.]] |
| 169 | * ManChild: Downplayed. While he's not exactly an adult, when [[PowerLimiter his collar]] is removed, he loses it and starts acting like an infant. |
| 170 | * MrExposition: Seems to be a parody of this trope. Sometimes, he acts as if he had heavy knowledge of fighting styles and famous weapons, with no explanation at all. |
| 171 | -->'''Gasser:''' Calamity Canyon. It's a form of ancient fighting that supposedly dates back to ancient Rome and the gladiators. |
| 172 | -->'''Beauty:''' DO YOU KNOW EVERYTHING!? |
| 173 | * OnlySaneMan: Like Beauty, he is often perplexed by Bobobo and the gangs antics. |
| 174 | ** NotSoAboveItAll: However, he is not to the degree of Beauty, as he is known to take a lot of the ridiculous antics as serious attacks/weapons. |
| 175 | * OfficialCouple: With Beauty. |
| 176 | * PowerLimiter: The collar around his neck, [[EverythingTalks which is actually a character itself]]. When the collar is removed, Gasser starts acting like a baby, making his behavior unpredictable and his gas powers explode out of control. |
| 177 | * PutOnABus: [[spoiler:After the fight with him in ''Shinsetsu'', he is bedridden to recover form his injuries (and from the demonic powerup) and asks Bo-bobo to find his sister. When they do find her, he runs off to train until the fight with Shiruyen Kamara.]] |
| 178 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: Subverted manga only, as his natural eye color is red. |
| 179 | * SuperpoweredEvilSide: [[spoiler: Ends up taking some sort of demonic essence to unleash this during his fight with the rebels.]] |
| 180 | * ShipTease: With Beauty, his side of the tease is heavily amplified in the anime in comparison to the manga. |
| 181 | * TagalongKid: While he does possess powers of his own, he does not do much fighting due to [[SkilledButNaive a lack of genuine combat experience like the others]] and being [[OvershadowedByAwesome woefully outclassed by the enemies they come across]]. |
| 182 | * TookALevelInBadass: Goes from a [[TagalongKid tagalong]] [[spoiler: to being strong enough to force Bobobo to fuse with Don Patch to become Bobopatch and later easily defeat Shiruyen Kamara, one of the three elites of Czar Baldy Bald the III after the time skip]]. |
| 183 | * UnfortunateName: He's embarrassed by his name. While his name in English, Gasser, is fitting of his fighting style, his Japanese name, Heppokomaru, literally means "Farting Kid." No wonder Beauty offers him the nickname of Gas-Can/Hekkun. |
| 184 | * ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Gender-flipped. In chapter 36/episode 17, he became deathly serious when Beauty got turned into a doll and threatened Dollman into changing her back. |

| 190 | |
| 191 | A mysterious man with a dollop of strawberry ice cream for a head (in the anime; in the manga, his head's ''a pile of feces''). He was originally a Hair Hunter stationed at C-Block, where he was the guardian of the Aitsuhage Tower's Jet Black Room. He has the honor of being the first enemy to force Bo-bobo to be dead serious in combat. |
| 192 | |
| 193 | After his defeat, he is convinced by Bo-bobo to help him defeat Captain Battleship, who's kidnapped Beauty. After that, he does nothing to aid the Rebels until they reach Hallelujah Land, where he helps in... one fight. After ''that'', he does nothing till the Rebels reach Cyber City, where he has to fight his EvilCounterpart, J. He plays a larger role near the end of Part 1. |
| 194 | |
| 195 | He returns in the sequel manga during the fight with Usui, but retains a minor role. |
| 196 | ----- |
| 197 | * AdaptationalDyeJob: His ice-cream head is chocolate brown in the manga, it was changed to strawberry pink in the anime because the production staff thought leaving it brown would make it resemble poo (which admittedly, in the manga, it ''is''). |
| 198 | * AlmightyJanitor: During his stay at C-Block, he was either an extremely strong, unranked member within the group or TheDragon of Geha the Gale. |
| 199 | * AloofBigBrother: [[spoiler:He's Beauty's missing older brother. There are some very subtle hints peppered throughout that say so, but one has to squint to see them.]] |
| 200 | * {{Bowdlerise}}: The color of his head was changed from brown to pink in the anime, to make it look like strawberry soft serve ice cream instead of, well, poop. This also doubles as a shout-out to Manga/DrSlump, which featured pink-colored TalkingPoo. |
| 201 | * BroughtDownToNormal: [[spoiler:When he gets captured in the Hair Kingdom arc, he encounters another warrior with the same powers as he does. By the power's law, since she is the stronger opponent, he loses all of his powers and is rendered helpless. Given the established nature of how the Fist of Babylon works (no two people with the Fist of Babylon may coexist at one time), Softon (and Icen) might have originally been a normal, non-powered human being.]] |
| 202 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: Despite the most professional of the group, even he gets bizarre at times. |
| 203 | * CloudCuckoolander: Not as obvious, but it's there. Even he's shown to have his wackier moments. |
| 204 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: In the anime, after being defeated by Bo-bobo, he is seen looking at a photo of a young Beauty with an older child. It's one of the hints about his real connection with Beauty. |
| 205 | ** When Beauty's in trouble at the Z-Block base, she screams for help from her big brother. After a gag from a random character literally called Big Brother, Softon shows up. |
| 206 | * HeelFaceTurn: Was once a member of C-Block (likely TheDragon), but only joins after being needed to defeat Battleship. |
| 207 | * JamesBondage: In the Hair Kingdom arc, [[spoiler:leading to TheReveal that he his Beauty's sibling.]] |
| 208 | * LongHairedPrettyBoy: [[spoiler:Under that mask.]] |
| 209 | * NonHumanHead: His primary feature. [[spoiler:Though it turns out it's just a mask and he looks like a regular person under it.]] |
| 210 | * NotSoAboveItAll: Starting from the Pomade Ring arc, the normally cool and sane Softon is also shown to have his own wackier moments, just not as often as the rest of Bobobo's group. |
| 211 | * OnlySaneMan: Other than one instance in the Pomade Ring arc, Softon is completely sane and focused virtually a hundred percent of the time. While his methods of fighting and dialogue can be bizarre, he usually saves face, unlike Beauty and Gasser. There are those moments though... |
| 212 | -->'''Softon:''' I want stars in my eyes!\ |
| 213 | '''Gasser:''' SOFTON, YOU'VE LOST IT! I thought he was the normal one... (cue Gasser along with ''Jelly Jiggler and Don Patch'' looking confused and shocked) |
| 214 | ** There implications that even then his sanity only applies to battes. He sometimes makes remarks that indicate he's stranger on personal matters than the average person. |
| 215 | * PerpetualFrowner: Usually, but 90% compared to Bobobo's 10% that he isn't goofy. |
| 216 | * TheSmartGuy: He's the group's informant prior to Hatenko's entry into the group. |
| 217 | * TheStoic: Rarely changes his expression to something odd. |
| 218 | * WorthyOpponent: To J. In fact, J bestows his powers connected to the Fist of the Black Sun to Softon after he manages to defeat J. |

| 225 | A being made entirely of blue, lychee-flavored jelly, the commander of the Chrome Dome Empire's A-Block, and the first series' second ArcVillain. Jiggler loses his position in the empire after becoming the first victim of Bo-bobo's FusionDance technique, and has since become the guinea pig of Bobobo's and Don Patch's impulsive behaviors. |
| 226 | |
| 227 | He wields the Purupuru Shinken ("Super Fist of the Wobble-Wobble" in the anime's English dub, "Super Fist of the Shakey-Shake" in the manga's English translation), which allows him to morph his gelatinous body into any shape he desires. |
| 228 | ----- |
| 229 | * AlliterativeName: In both English and Japanese. '''G'''eneral '''J'''elly '''J'''iggler and '''T'''okoro '''T'''ennosuke. |
| 230 | * AnthropomorphicFood: He's lychee-flavored jelly vaguely shaped like a man. |
| 231 | * AscendedExtra: His first appearance was just for a throwaway joke, but fans liked him so much that Sawai decided to make him one of the main characters. |
| 232 | * AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Back when he lorded over A-Block, his soldiers looked past his silliness because he was the strongest person there. Despite Katsu appearing to be more threatening, until Jiggler reaffirms this by beating him in a CurbStompBattle. He even lampshades that this is why he was the commander while Katsu was merely a subordinate. |
| 233 | %% Doesn't explain what the reaction is. * BerserkButton: He hates the Japanese letter "Ne", but also tofu as well [[FreudianExcuse because it was more edible than him]]. |
| 234 | * ButtMonkey: Bobobo's allies often get treated badly, but [[TheChewToy Jelly gets the worst of it]]. He often gets beaten badly during battles by Bobobo and is often the first to be attacked by the villains. |
| 235 | ** IronButtMonkey: Despite taking a huge amount of pain, he usually bounces back... being made of jely in all. |
| 236 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: It's jarring to see the "Nu" obsessed, [[MoodSwinger emotionally unstable]] [[TheChewToy target of many a brutal humiliation]] was once a [[TheComicallySerious serious minded]] and [[BunnyEarsLawyer genuine menacing threat that required a fusion to defeat in spite of his spouts of silliness]], especially in his first introduction in which he was completely nonchalant about Telu's MommasBoy issue. |
| 237 | * TheChewToy: While most of Bobobo's allies get beatings, Jelly Jiggler is often the one to get the most humiliating treatment from both Bobobo, Don Patch or the enemies, just for being there. |
| 238 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Not as much as Don or Bobobo, but he has his moments due to his MoodSwinger tendencies and his obsession with his "Nu" handkerchief. |
| 239 | * CompanionCube: His "Nu" Handkerchief. |
| 240 | * {{Crossdresser}}: Not at the same frequency as Don Patch or even Bobobo, but it does happen on several occasions. It usually only happens during battle when Don Patch is doing it. |
| 241 | * FreudianExcuse: Jelly Jiggler wasn't a profitable item at the store he was at and then fired, joining the Hair Hunt Troops in order to gather respect and his MoodSwinger tendencies are implied to be the result of the trauma from that experience. |
| 242 | * HeelFaceTurn: Joins Bobobo's group to beat Battleship [[RedemptionDemotion but from his usual treatment, you'd think he was better off as being a bad guy]]. |
| 243 | * LargeHam: He is voiced by Creator/JamiesonPrice after all. |
| 244 | * LoserProtagonist: He doesn't hold much power in the group, is constantly beaten up, often neglected, and to top it all off, he is often the first to be attacked by the villains. |
| 245 | * MoodSwinger: Jelly Jiggler will go from happy to sad to angry in a millisecond. |
| 246 | * MultipleChoicePast: Jelly Jiggler was either an EvilFormerFriend to Bobobo when they were kids, a narcissistic brat, or was [[BornAsAnAdult always in his appearance as he tormented a young Bobobo and Hatenko]], but his FreudianExcuse of the supermarket was always a genuine consistent. |
| 247 | * PunnyName: His Japanese name is. "Tokoroten" is a jelly based noodle product, which is combined with "osuke", a common ending to Japanese names, to create "Tokoro Tennosuke." |
| 248 | * RedemptionDemotion: Oh gosh yes! He commanded far more respect as a villain than he ever did as a protagonist. Bo-bobo and his allies treat him as a legitimate threat, and their fight against him wasn't exactly a CurbStompBattle, but a somewhat balanced fight, forcing the need of the first use of the FusionDance to defeat him. After he joins the heroes, he's subjected to constant humiliation, often being the first to be attacked by both the villains and Bo-bobo himself. |
| 249 | * TheStoic: Sometimes. On some occasions when he goes along with Bobobo and Don Patch's weird antics, he'll act completely stone faced. |
| 250 | -->'''Don Patch:''' ''(As a lemon themed MagicalGirl)'' A lemon as strong as a kiss, Lemon Princess! |
| 251 | -->'''Bobobo:''' ''(As an anthropomorphic strawberry)'' A strawberry with the sweetness of love, Strawberry Princess! |
| 252 | -->'''Jelly Jiggler:''' ...And then me, Melon Girl. |
| 253 | * ThrowTheDogABone: He's infamous for his humiliating treatment at the hands of Bobobo and others even when they're on the same side and being largely ineffectual in fights, but he manages to defeat two of the Cyber Knights and [[spoiler: Wandering Tofu]] by himself. |
| 254 | * TraumaCongaLine: Not only kicked out of the Empire after his defeat, returning to the shop he hated, but he gets arguably the worse treatment out of the entire group. |
| 255 | * TheWorfEffect: He often loses the most out of the fighters, especially against the ArcVillain. Though he makes up for it by managing to defeat two of the Cyber Knights and Katsu. |
| 256 | * YankTheDogsChain: He often gets terrible treatment, but especially in Shinsetsu, where tried to make amends with his fellow Hair Hunt colleagues; but everyone has bad blood with him, especially OVER and Giga. [[ThrowTheDogABone Suzu is nice enough to teleport away]]. |

| 263 | A blonde-haired man who's a member of the Wiggin Gang. |
| 264 | |
| 265 | To the Rebels, he comes across as an AloofAlly, providing them information about the Hair Hunters, but sometimes gets tricked by the Hair Hunters into luring the Rebels into traps. |

| 267 | He wields the Super Fist of the Key, allowing him to "lock" his opponents in place with a golden skeleton key. |
| 268 | ---- |
| 269 | * AloofAlly: He's not with the main group very often. He's usually off fighting his own battles, though still helping the heroes. |
| 270 | * TheBigGuy: With traits of TheSmartGuy whenever he's serious. |
| 271 | * ChildhoodFriends: While Bo-bobo initially claims he and Hatenko's only connection is that they're both survivors of the Chrome Dome's first Hair Hunt, he was actually this to [[spoiler:Bo-bobo, Be-bebe, and Battleship back in the Hair Kingdom, being one of the few survivors of Bi-bibi's attempt at genocide.]] |
| 272 | * CoolKey: Uses the Super Fist of the Key as a weapon to lock his opponents. [[spoiler:Or unlock his allies hidden potential as seen in the fight against LOVE!]] |
| 273 | * HeroWorshipper: To Don Patch. |
| 274 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: Uses keys literally to lock or unlock the powers of others. |
| 275 | * InformedAttribute: [[spoiler:As a human of the Hair Kingdom, he too should have a Hair Ball inside of him like Bo-bobo, but it never becomes relevant.]] |
| 276 | * MeaningfulName: His name's Japanese for "unprecedented". It's meant to reflect both how powerful he is and how no-one can predict which side he's really on. |
| 277 | * MrFanservice: He's quite the handsome guy and stylish. Heck, Bobobo's nickname for him is Mr. Cool. |
| 278 | * OnlySaneMan: Whenever he's not worshipping Don Patch. |
| 279 | * StoryBreakerPower: The primary reason why he's an AloofAlly to the Rebels: his Super Fist of the Key would make tearing through the empire pathetically easy. |
| 280 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: His family members all look exactly like him. Same clothes and all. And apparently he and his family are all birds. However, these were all revealed to be robots built by Hatenko with the help of an old scientist, in order to keep the secret of his encounter with OVER from Don Patch. |

| 290 | |
| 291 | ----- |
| 292 | * ArcVillain: Of the Z-Block, but [[HarmlessVillain he doesn't have any legitimate combat skills to back it up]], unlike every other ArcVillain that were either [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking strong as their position states]] [[KnightOfCerebus very dangerous threats]] or [[BunnyEarsLawyer extremely competent in spite of their silliness.]] |
| 293 | * ButtMonkey: Dengakuman is often subject to punishment during battle, and after the fight is won, he is often left behind. Bobobo in particular has a penchant for using him as a projectile. |
| 294 | * CatchPhrase: "We'll make 'em eat grilled tofu dipped in miso on a stick!" |
| 295 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: He initially was a single minded RidiculouslyCuteCritter character that exclusively uttered a single CatchPhrase as apart of his RunningGag before becoming a more vocal, aggressive and sillier character with [[IJustWantToHaveFriends severe friendship attachment issues]] and a [[ButtMonkey a much abused person]] at the conclusion of his arc. |
| 296 | * {{Expy}}: Dengakuman has a notable resemblance to a white Chao from the [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic Series]]. |
| 297 | * HarmlessVillain: In his time as an ArcVillain, jarring contrast to the BunnyEarsLawyer and NotSoHarmlessVillain commanders, Dengakuman is genuinely as helpless and incapable of direct combat as one would expect a small CartoonCreature would be in direct combat, being held at arms's length by Don Patch at one point. [[RiddleForTheAges Making one think why would Czar Baldy Bald the IV to make him the leader of a Hair Hunt Troop Block, let alone, the strongest one is beyond baffling.]] |
| 298 | * IJustWantToHaveFriends: His battle against Bo-bobo devolves into him searching for friends. |
| 299 | * InformedAbility: He's the leader of Z-Block base, the supposed most powerful of the Hair Hunt bases. One would assume him to be incredibly powerful, but he can simply be stopped by holding him back at arms length. |
| 300 | * InformedSpecies: He claims to be a puppy, but he looks nothing like one. |
| 301 | * RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Puppy or not, he's undeniably adorable. It's heavily implied he became a Hair Hunt Troop commanders based on utilizing his cuteness to get the position. |
| 302 | * TeamPet: A puppy lacking a nose, tail, ears, and with a weird growth on his head. |
| 303 | * TheWorfEffect: The poor guy gets it even worse than Jelly Jiggler. He's established to be a dangerous foe in his introduction, but never managed to win a single fight, unless fused with Bobobo. |

| 372 | * AdaptationalBadass: See that sharp look, BigOlEyebrows and goatee? He has none of that in the manga. |
| 373 | * BlindedByTheLight: In the anime, he's accompanied by little Dengakuman-looking creatures working spotlights, that prevent the audience from seeing what's underneath the sheet. |
| 374 | * {{Bowdlerize}}: A lot of scenes were cut for the broadcast on Cartoon Network/Toonami, but Serviceman was probably hit the hardest of any individual recurring character. A lot of Serviceman's antics didn't make it to air, although they couldn't cut him out entirely, so he still has a presence.

The fusions, aside from an intentional off model variant, are all very beautiful and conventional human like characters. |
| 396 | * ComicallyInvincibleHero: While Bobobo and the others can shrug off deadly attacks and defeat enemies with ease due to their silly behavior, the fusions take this trait to ridiculous lengths. Aside from three exceptions, the fusions will defeat an enemy without being suffering a blow while enacting weirder attacks than Bobobo and his components do on their own. |
| 397 | * TheComicallySerious: Compared to their components, who are goofballs who often act nonsensical, the fusions tend to take the fight more seriously. However, a large part of their humor comes from the fact they utilize the same weird techniques of their components while taking them much more seriously and treating their nonsense so matter of factly. Being comprised of weirdoes means the weirdness will seep out anyway. |
| 398 | * CurbStompBattle: While Bobobo and co can defeat enemies with relative ease, some stronger enemies require fusion in order to defeat them. Once the conditions are met, it's essentially an inevitability that the adversaries will be defeated in short order, with the only exceptions being Denbo who initially gets stomped until she gets used to combat, Patchbobo being defeated by Byakko and Bibibi oneshotting Torpedo Girbo. |
| 399 | * FusionDissonance: With the exception of Patchbobo's eye/facial features resembling Don Patch and Tenbobo/Bojiggler having the same color as Tokoro Tennosuke/Jiggler for his hair, none of the fusions look like the components they're derived from. |
| 400 | * NonstandardCharacterDesign: The fusions are often draw in a much more detailed and elaborate design than their components, the most notable being Adult Woman and Torpedo Girbo. |
| 401 | * StoryBreakerPower: While Bobobo and the others are [[ComicallyInvincibleHero always victorious because of their nonsensical behavior]], the fusions take the power Bobobo has on his own to even more ridiculous lengths, and with two notable exceptions, it is a foregone conclusion that the enemy will lose, often being hopelessly outclassed with only one exception being J. |

| 407 | -> Voiced by: Creator/HiroakiMiura (JP), Creator/RichardEpcar (EN), Creator/JaimeRoca (Spain) |
| 408 | A fusion between Bobobo and Don Patch. Unlike the people who make him up Bobopatch is cold, serious, and only desires to beat his foes as quickly and easily as possible! |
| 409 | ----- |
| 410 | |
| 411 | * BishonenLine: He appears in the sequel as a younger version of himself |
| 412 | * ButWaitTheresMore: Says something like this in the dub. |
| 413 | -->''Bobopatch: I can only remain in this form for a limited time offer. I'll throw in free steak knives.'' |
| 414 | * ColdHam: Despite being made of the two hammiest Rebels he's rather serious while still being ludicrous. |
| 415 | * TheComicallySerious: Much like Bobopatchiggler, he's rather cold in his hamminess, but unlike the former, he's generally portrayed as completely no-nonsense in personality, in spite of using the Don Patch sword (a green onion) as a credible sword. |
| 416 | * FusionDance: The first one in the series and the one attempted to redo again and again with rather strange results. |
| 417 | * LongHairedPrettyBoy |
| 418 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: Drawn in much more detailed manner than most of the characters, something that would not happen again till the Torpedo Girl/ Bobobo fusion, Torpedo Girbo. His "Incomplete" form is [[https://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/bobobo/images/3/3e/Incomplete_Bobopatch.PNG/revision/latest?cb=20090618192147 even worse]]. |
| 419 | * PerpetualFrowner: Except for one instance when Jelly welcomes his challenge. |

| 426 | ->Voiced By: Creator/HirofumiTanaka (JP), Creator/MichaelMcConnohie (EN) |
| 427 | A fusion between Bobobo, Don Patch and Jelly Jiggler. A super serious fusion, even more serious than Bobopatch, and far stronger as well. With a single step the earth shakes and his Majide Time is a force to reckon with! |
| 428 | ----- |
| 429 | * TheComicallySerious: He's super serious about beating bad guys, even when engaging in extremely bizarre attacks. |
| 430 | * CatchPhrase: Majide!?/Are you serious!? To the point that his main technique is based on it. |
| 431 | ** PhraseCatcher: The victims of the technique will always be compelled to say it, especially in the Majide Time dimension. |
| 432 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: The Tanaka Sword (aka Happy Man Merciless Sword), a normal sword... with a guy's head at the tip! He doesn't even cut people, he just hits them with it. When he returns the Happy Man sword becomes three heads on a trio of springs attached to a grip! |
| 433 | * MoodSwinger: He alternates between being composed to being high-strung in seconds. It's heavily implied that it's inherited from Tokoro Tennosuke/Jelly Jiggler as Bojiggler has this trait as well, but it's not as exaggerated as the latter case. |
| 434 | * RealityWarper: He can create an outer space like pocket dimension with no laws of time and space to define it called Majide Time. It causes strange things even by the show's standards to become common place, invoked by [[PhraseCatcher the victim saying Majide/Are you serious?]]. |
| 435 | * VoiceOfTheLegion: Played with, in the dub his voices switches in pitch tone between the three fusees, it's as surreal as it sounds. |

| 440 | -> Voiced by: Creator/MarikoKouda (JP), Creator/KateHiggins (EN, episode 48), Creator/CindyRobinson (EN, episode 76), Creator/BlancaRada (Spain) |
| 441 | A fusion between Bobobo and Dengakuman. A cheerful, if a bit ditzy, magical girl who only wants to make people happy. Just don't piss her off! |
| 442 | ----- |
| 443 | * ActionGirl: You're one if you manage to defeat J. |
| 444 | * BatmanGambit: Tricks a villain into giving her a power upgrade. |
| 445 | * FusionDance: Arguably the most bizarre one before Adult Woman since somehow two boys= girl in this format. |
| 446 | * GenderBender: It's not obvious at first, but you have to realize that she's a fusion of two boys (at least [[AmbiguousGender one that actually is one]]). |
| 447 | ** J was aware of this [[WouldntHitAGirl therefore his claim of not hitting women]] [[LoopHoleAbuse was still validated since he still considers "her" two boys]]. |
| 448 | * IdolSinger: And she uses her singing as a ''weapon''. |
| 449 | * MagicalGirl: She comes across a parody of this, given her appearance and use of love and music based attacks. |
| 450 | * MagicMusic: Her main power. |
| 451 | * MagicSkirt: A very short one |
| 452 | * MsFanservice: Her outfit, figure and ditzy nature bring out this |
| 453 | * TheNthDoctor: Kate Higgins in episode 48 (as Denbo) and Cindy Robinson in episode 76 (as Super Denbo). This came complete with a somewhat rude remark toward Higgins |
| 454 | -->'''Super Denbo:''' I'm new improved Denbo with a better voice. |
| 455 | * RealityWarper: Can control the world around her by singing into her microphone. |
| 456 | * TookALevelInBadass: When she has her nunchucku out or when she uses her "mean green glove". |
| 457 | ** Later as Super Denbo, she completely makes a fool out of Three Bags' [[OneWingedAngel stronger form]] with her storybook technique without taking a single blow this time around. |

| 463 | ->Voiced By: Creator/ReikoKiuchi (JP), Creator/BrycePapenbrook (EN), Juan Navarro (Spain) |
| 464 | An alternate fusion of Don Patch and Bobobo. When beginning the technique, Don Patch messed with some buttons to try and have his name be first. The result is a brand new fusion. |
| 465 | ----- |
| 466 | * AnimeHair: Mix of Yugi's highlights and Super Saiyan |
| 467 | ** Pa-pa-papatch is blatantly [[Anime/DragonBallZ a Super Saiyan 3]]. |
| 468 | * ConfusionFu: While there are several powerful Haijeklists/Wiggin Specialists, Pa-papatch goes above and beyond, to where the fusion of Bobobo's and Don Patch's "Wiggin Souls" allows them to create a true ''Super Fist of Wiggin.'' |
| 469 | * {{Expy}}: [[Anime/DragonBallZ Of Super Saiyans]], with Pa-pa-Papatch being the most blatant example. |
| 470 | * FusionDance: ''Weaponized.'' He can combine various objects or people for powerful effects. |
| 471 | * SerialEscalation: Patchbobo weaponizes FusionDance in unique ways. |
| 472 | ** In Shinsetsu, his SuperMode Papapa-pa Pa-papatch not only grows much longer hair, but his techniques are among the strongest of the series. |
| 473 | * SuperMode: Papapa-pa Pa-papatch. |
| 474 | * SwissArmySuperpower: Patchbobo only has one ability to fight with[[note]]even his Hanage Shinken/Super Fist of the Nose-hair is tied to this ability[[/note]], the ability to fuse two objects or beings together. As shown in ConfusionFu, he's able to create weapons ranging, from swords, cannons, stronger allies or even create weaker enemies with this ability. |

| 481 | -> Voiced by: Creator/KenTakeuchi (JP), Creator/JohnnyYongBosch (EN), Emilio GarcĂa (Spain) |
| 482 | A fusion between Bobobo and Jelly Jiggler. A peace-loving pretty boy all he wants is for everyone to get along... and he'll use more violence than necessary and then some to make it happen. Whether or not he's speaking the truth, he's one of the most violent fusions! |
| 483 | ----- |
| 484 | * ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: During his quiz on peace. |
| 485 | --> '''Bojiggler:''' If your answers lead to peace, you'll win this neat-o peace pin, and it's not available in stores, ya know! But if your answers don't lead to peace, I'LL TAKE YOU DOWN! And no pin. |
| 486 | --> '''Beauty:''' WOAH, THAT'S HARSH! |
| 487 | * DubNameChange: He is called "Tenbobo" in the Spanish dub and Bojiggler in the English dub. |
| 488 | * HypocriticalHumor: Harks on about peace while beating the living snot out of his opponents. |
| 489 | * JerkAss: He doesn't care if you answered a question on his peace quiz right. He's still going to punch you. |
| 490 | * MoodSwinger: He will change from friendly, sensitive, serious to angry in seconds. It's heavily implied that it's a result of Tokoro Tennosuke/Jelly Jiggler's influence on the fusion. |
| 491 | * ReluctantWarrior: Parodies this, [[spoiler: and then subverts it (in the English dub) when he reveals that his talk about peace was all an act.]] |
| 492 | * TechnicalPacifist: His second form is actually trying to block his foe's attacks but it doesn't stop him from hitting Don Patch! |

| 497 | As a fusion between Bobobo, Jelly Jiggler, and Halekulani's money, he's a reckless gambler who loves to put his money (and his foes) on the line. Being made of Halekulani's money, he never shows up again. |
| 498 | ----- |
| 499 | * AbsurdlyHighStakesGame: His powers revolve around making these. |
| 500 | * TheCasino: Holy Injust Casino Crisis creates his own personal casino for him to gamble his foes lives away. |
| 501 | * TheGambler: He loves gambling! |
| 502 | ** TheGamblingAddict: Even if it means other people are going to have to bet their lives in his game. |
| 503 | * FieryRedhead: His long red hair is as wild as his gambling addiction. |
| 504 | * RussianRoulette: With a 'cannon' and a 100 per cent chance of getting shot! |
| 505 | * VivaLasVegas: Las Vegas Night Dream is his ultimate attack, shot by Gambler Cannon. |

| 509 | [[quoteright:224:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Adult_Woman_478.PNG]] |
| 510 | The ''other'' fusion of Bobobo and Don Patch as a result of fusing inside the "O" dimension. A serious and mature woman who's not quite as serious as she seems. |
| 511 | ----- |
| 512 | * ActionGirl: She easily handles Shigeki X's true form, a threat that made the III nervous, and his accomplice with ease. |
| 513 | * ColdHam: She is stern and reserved while making dramatic speeches. |
| 514 | * TheComicallySerious: She is very mature and serious, even though she utilizes very unusual attacks. |
| 515 | * GenderBender: The very male Bobobo and Don Patch become this very obvious woman. |
| 516 | * FusionDance: The third attempt on the Bopatch fusion, but due to being in the X Dimension, it resulted in this |
| 517 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: Is drawn in a realistic way compared to most of the series, looking more like an average woman and not possessing the ornate garb of the other fusions. The unusual circumstances that led to her creation likely played a part in this. |

| 521 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/torpedo_girbo.png]] |
| 522 | A fusion between Torpedo Girl and Bobobo. He seems really tough and is very handsome could he be strong enough to handle Bibibi-bi Bi-bibi's power? Nope. |
| 523 | ----- |
| 524 | * FlatCharacter: Even more than the rest of the fusions! He doesn't even get a single attack in before getting his ass beat. |
| 525 | * GenderBender: Played straight with Torpedo Girl, who becomes a male when fusing with Bobobo, but subverted with Bobobo himself. |
| 526 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: The most detailed of all of the Bobobo fusions pre-timeskip, looking like something that came from an entirely different manga. |
| 527 | * ShoutOut: He's literally Sephiroth from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' with different clothes. |
| 528 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: Just as he's formed, Bibibi one shots him with his Fist of Hair Hunt, so how he fights is completely unknown. |
| 529 | * TheWorfEffect: He's only there to show off how powerful Bibibi is. |
