Ruudo Kidou The Oracle of God is REALLY Troublesome!!
Soldier Ruudo Mushi and the heroes are in a stand-off, while the
worshippers run away.
Mushi’s first moves are to snap its whip-arms
at the ground near the heroes’ feet.
Gokuu, based on the last guy they fought, says
that he looks forward to fighting Mushi.
Mushi snarls that since the pair don’t know the
extent of its frightening powers, it will demonstrate
first—then it starts whipping the floor again.
Rock slabs rise from the ground, as Mushi
explains that it is a demon with control over earth.
The slabs attack. Gokuu and Trunks run away,
barely avoiding the slabs.
Trunks wants to know what to do, and the only
reaction possible is to smash up the slabs that get too
close. They
get hit by some slabs, and Trunks uses an energy ball to
blow more away. Then,
more slabs swoop in to attack, knocking Trunks through a
wall and down to a courtyard below.
Extra slabs drop down on him, burying him under a
pyramid of rock. Trunks
catches the slabs on his shoulders, but now he can’t
move because of the weight. Gokuu shows up through a doorway, and runs down some stairs
to see if Trunks is ok.
Mushi snaps the stairs, and they weave, throwing
Gokuu to the ground below.
Mushi snaps several pairs of swords, which fly at
Gokuu, caging him in.
Gokuu escapes the cage to attack Mushi, while the
demon snaps on a pillar.
Two fire pots attached to the pillar join, to
make a flying, fire-belching cannon. Gokuu’s pants
burn, as Mushi commands the cannon to keep attacking.
Gokuu grabs one of the swords and destroys the firepots
with it. Gokuu
challenges Mushi to a direct combat; the demon gets
angry and snaps the floor; it grows hands which grab
Gokuu’s legs. Trapped
against the floor, Gokuu gets whipped and kicked, while
yelling out “Stop this!” The boy escapes, but Mushi
snaps the wall, and a statue reaches out to grab Gokuu
again. Pissed
off, our hero goes SSJ; destroying the statue and
smashing Mushi to the ground.
Mushi can’t understand what just happened. Meanwhile, a monkey-man with long blond hair is in a room, watching the battle via a monitor screen. The monkey strokes the Pan doll in his arms. He comments on Gokuu’s energy, which would be good for giving to Ruudo, but Mushi is not strong enough to defeat the boy alone. Then, a messenger enters the room to tell the “Sect’s Founder” (the monkey) that some strangers have arrived and killed Moshimoshi. The Founder replies that he wants the worshippers to gather in front of Ruudo, and adds that everything is ok. The messenger leaves, and Pan silently wonders how this wimp could be the Founder of the Ruudo sect. He keeps stroking Pan, and chuckling. He then uses his ring to summon what looks like a silver flashlight. [Commercial Break.] In front of Ruudo’s statue, the worshippers are waiting.
Many have been injured, and are bandaged up.
They are curious about Doru-takki’s coming out
to see them (it’s been a long time since that last
happened.) They expect their Founder to make everything all right again.
(Note: Doru-Takki translates to “Doll”-Takki.
I don’t know what “Takki” is supposed to
mean. If it
was “Tacchi”, it would be “Doll Touch”.) Doru-Takki is announced, and the rabble murmurs as their
founder appears. He
talks very formally.
He praises them for their hard work in praying to
Ruudo, and says that their God is ready to appear.
All that remains is for them to join with Ruudo
(all of this is very cryptic.)
Doru-Takki then turns on the flashlight and aims
it at Ruudo’s head.
The crowd guesses that they are to be Ruudo’s
next victims, and are correct.
Doru-Takki bids them farewell, as the beams from
the statue’s eyes turns the panicking worshippers into
dolls. The
flashlight beam turns from red to green, causing a
massive wind to sweep the screaming dolls into Ruudo’s
giant urn. The liquid level in the collector flask rises, but it is
still not enough. Normally.
It is sufficient for a surprise attack on the two
intruders, allowing Doru-Takki and Pan to slip away and
play together. He
snuggles against Pan’s face, and she panics. Underneath the pyramid of rocks, Trunks goes SSJ, destroys
the rocks with a kick, and then flies off to rescue
Gokuu. Gokuu
is still SSJ, and is causing Mushi to wonder where this
increased power and speed came from.
Their battle is more or less equal, until a smash
against the rocks causes Gokuu to revert to normal.
Mushi chokes the boy, until an energy ball
blindsides Mushi and destroys the demon.
Trunks asks if Gokuu is ok, and the boy thanks
his friend. A
TV set is showing all of this from within a girl’s
playroom, but Doru-Takki ignores it. This is now “cute Pan’s” room, and Pan guesses that
this guy is a “Doll Otaku”.
He claims that Pan is now his #1 favorite doll,
and won’t be given to Ruudo.
The next problem is to decide what clothes to
dress her up in. Doru-Takki
has difficulty deciding, and finally chooses a light
aqua blouse. He
struggles to remove her shirt, and Pan silently screams
out against this “etchi” behavior. Ultimately, he lifts her shirt up (revealing a flat chest)
but is interrupted by an alarm.
Ruudo’s energy is not enough to make it
god-like, but is at least enough for it to move around
and fight. Doru-Takki
is upset that the boys are disrupting his fun, and wants
to use Ruudo to dispose of them—he apologizes to Pan
for the delay.
