Originally serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from 2001 to 2007, Bo-bobo is a legendary absurdist gag battle manga by Yoshio Sawai. With 28 volumes and over 7 million copies sold, it also inspired an anime series in 2003 and video games, remaining a fan-favorite with its unique blend of humor and action. Now, 20 years since its anime debut, the hype continues with this energetic stage production. The show promises a mix of comedy, battles, and stage-exclusive elements like singing and dancing, all set in the unpredictable world of Bo-bobo.

"This story is about the epic battle between margarine and butter! Which side are you on? There are so many ‘teams’ in life, and I’ve overcome many to stand here today. I’m sure you all have your own teams—what do they even mean? Are teams even important? Anyway, I’m firmly Team Butter-Infused Margarine! That’s one stance I’ll never compromise on! Enjoy the Bo-bobo stage! TEAM!"
