Episode 72

**Sing Sing! The Fearsome Belgim E.O** (*歌え歌え! 恐怖のベルギム·E·O,Utae Utae! Kyōfu no Berugimu Ī Ō*) is the 72nd episode of the Konjiki no Gash Bell!! Anime. This episode first aired in Japan on September 5, 2004. While this episode features some moments originally adapted from the Konjiki no Gash!!, this episode is mostly filler.

## Overview

Folgore and Canchome put on their best performance for Belgim E.O to satisfy his demand to be entertained in order to let them and their group pass into the next area of the ruins. Though they manage to please him with this, they end up making themselves busy by fulfilling more of his requests to keep him happy and to prevent him from unleashing his destructive powers onto them.

## Plot

In order to pass into the next area of the ruins, Folgore must both perform for and successfully entertain Belgim E.O. When reminded of what will happen if he fails to do these things for him, Folgore becomes scared and hesitates to perform for Belgim E.O which causes Belgim E.O to start flaring up in rage. Canchome however, despite how nervous he is, stands before Belgim E.O, starts singing one of Folgore’s songs to encourage him to perform and speaks highly of him to Belgim E.O. Feeling reinvigorated from this, Folgore joins Canchome and officially starts his performance for Belgim E.O. As Folgore and Canchome sing and dance, Dr. Riddles and Kid decide to start quietly analyzing Belgim E.O for anything that can help them formulate a plan to defeat him.

As time passes, Dr. Riddles and Kid become worried that Belgim E.O might dislike Canchome and Folgore’s performance as his expression throughout it remained the same. Canchome and Folgore would soon notice this as well and begin to try even harder with their dance routine to please Belgim E.O. As their performance comes to an end, the air in the room becomes tense as the group awaits for a reaction from Belgim E.O. After some time, they finally get a reaction but it was one that was not expected. On his command,  Dalia begins casting a barrage of destructive spells that Belgim E.O uses at complete random. After some time, Belgim E.O settles down and finally tells the group that he was very happy with their performance. After Canchome and Folgore briefly celebrated, Belgim E.O would ask them if he could sing along with them. Given that they had no battle plan fully thought out yet, the group figures that keeping him happy would be in their best interest for the time being.

When Canchome and Folgore allow Belgim E.O to sing with them, Belgim E.O unexpectedly bites his tongue as he sings which leads to him using yet another powerful spell in reaction to this. Believing this was done to him on purpose by the group, Belgim E.O threatens to eliminate them for it. While Canchome and Folgore cower in fear of this, Dr. Riddles approaches Belgim E.O and performs a small magic trick for him which immediately calms him down. Captivated by this, Belgim E.O would then ask to see even more magic tricks from Dr. Riddles and so did the rest of his group. After some persistence from everyone, Dr. Riddles finally does something and decides he will present a riddle to Belgim E.O. While this initially catches everyone off guard, Dr. Riddles explains that the reasoning for this is because if he were to perform another magic trick, Belgim E.O may want to do the same and would become angry if he sees he cannot do it. From there, Dr. Riddles presents a rather simple riddle for Belgim E.O to figure out on his own. After what appeared to be a positive reaction from him, Belgim E.O once again begins using spells at random out of excitement before he finally calms down again.

After settling down, Belgim E.O reveals to the group that he isn’t satisfied with the riddle as he points out that the way Dr. Riddles had hid the answer within the riddle does not make it one. Belgim E.O then allows the group one more chance to properly entertain him. With everyone's attention on him, Dr. Riddles instructs the group to follow along with what he does as the point of this is to simply amuse Belgim E.O rather than just put on a good show. Everyone then begins spinning around at random while proclaiming loudly how much fun they’re having. Interested, Belgim E.O asks if he could join them in spinning around as well and the group encourages him to do so. Everything at first appears to be going according to plan as Belgim E.O has fun spinning around with them. Eventually however, Belgim E.O begins to propel himself into the air from his spinning and ends up hitting the ceiling. He falls down onto the ground from this and once again declares that he will eliminate the group and calls on Dalia to cast spells. Although Dalia reads off a spell, everyone sees that nothing had happened and  Belgim E.O realizes that this was because he had used too many spells when reacting to performances. As Dalia recovers her heart power with a fragment of the moon stone, Dr. Riddles and Kid take advantage of the situation by attacking Belgim E.O with *Rājia Zerusen*. When Belgim E.O gets back up from the attack, Dr. Riddles finishes an explanation of a battle plan with the rest of the group. The episode then ends with the group ready to put their plan into action just as Belgim E.O unleashes one of his strongest spells towards them.

## Manga & Anime Differences

* In the manga, the chapter that this episode was based on first shows the perspective of Wonrei’s group first before Folgore’s. In the anime, the perspective of Folgore’s group was shown first.
* The perspective of Kiyomaro’s group was never shown in the chapters that this episode was based on. The events that take place for them are shown earlier in the anime than in the manga.

## Censorship & Other Localization Differences

* Scenes that depict sexual graphics or language end up being edited over from the original Japanese airing to the English localization. This episode features various edits due to such.
	+ In this episode, the Japanese airing features one of Folgore's songs titled, "Chi Chi wo Moge!" which translated means "Groping Breasts". For obvious reasons, while the instrumentals for this song remained the same, the lyrics to the song were changed and the title of this song had been changed to "Hey Hey Lets Dance All Day!". In addition to creating a cleaner version of the song, the cover of the CD that originally features Folgore groping a woman's breasts was removed from the episode.
	+ A scene showing Canchome with two melons in a swimsuit and Folgore having a nosebleed from this was removed.
* Details such as blood from injuries are cleaned up from characters in the VIZ localization but other things such as scratches and clothing tears are usually left alone. All blood stains and bleeding seen on Wonrei would be cleaned up in the VIZ localization.

## Trivia

* The English dub’s title card is the only title card that contains the title in quotation marks.
