Tobe's Useless Skill is the 2nd segment of the 8th episode of the 3rd season of Pucca.
Synopsis[]
Since Tobe keeps failing his missions to stop Goh Rong, Fyah upgrades him with weapons to beat Garu. Too bad nothing goes as planned.
Plot[]
Garu is cliff out on the water to retrieve a rare fruit. But just as he finds it on the side of the rock, Tobe and his ninjas rappel down on him to take it for themselves. Garu fights them off, tricking them into cutting one another's support rope and sending them down into the water. Tobe bemoans their stupidity, only to find Garu has latched onto his rope and cuts it right over him so he falls, too.
Garu brings the fruit back to the chefs who create a new dish for their restaurant, to the delight of Pucca and friends. Fyah can see this through his binoculars and berates Tobe for not getting the fruit. The injured ninja refuses to hear this from someone who never fights himself and declares he will no longer be helping Dong King. Desperate not to lose him, Fyah offers Tobe some high-tech gear the Dong King team created, which intrigues the dark ninja.
The kids are walking home for the day when Tobe cuts off their path, wearing a silly outfit that both Abyo and his own ninjas laugh at. Despite the teasing, Tobe reveals that that suit gives him super stretching powers as he attacks Garu. His long arms make powerful swings and when Garu counters with his sword, Tobe's rubber body lets him dodge. Tobe winds up for a super punch but Garu dodges, which gets his hand stuck in the wall. Even though it's stuck, Tobe just stretches his arm as he chases Garu through town. They get a far distance when Tobe senses something messes with his trapped arm. Through town, cats are climbing on the arm, his own ninjas are using it for skip rope, Bruce slaps it with handcuffs for blocking the road, and Dada is using it as a clothesline. Pucca takes notice of all this and, seeing where Tobe's hand is stuck, she pulls it free to rubber band back to him. Garu dodges the incoming arm, but it wraps around Tobe, immobilizing him. He's lost to Garu again.
Displeased and humiliated, Tobe takes the outfit back to Fyah who is amazed he still failed to beat Garu. Tobe lays all blame on the suit and on Fyah, so the manager demonstrates another gadget: the Super Glove which creates a powerful blow from the slightest touch.
Accepting the glove, Tobe challenges Garu again and when he does manage to land a low, the pig-tailed boy is blasted away. Tobe gloats for this mighty attack, but is annoyed by a butterfly that lands on his head. When he tries to swat it, he hits himself and activated the glove which blasts him, too. He recovers, admitting it was silly to hit himself with the glove, then puts his hands on his hips. Again, this touch is enough to cause a blast the launches him through a wall. Garu is left victorious, though very confused.
Once more, Tobe throws the weapon at Fyah's feet, declaring it useless. With the dark ninja becoming angrier, Fyah offers him one more weapon, the most powerful of all.
This weapon turns out to be boots that draw laughter from Abyo when Tobe confronts the kids one again. Garu is tired from all these gadgets but still stands ready for a battle. Tobe activities the boots and they give him incredible speed that even Garu can't dodge easily. Tobe cranks up the shoes power and becomes a literal bolt of lightning, blasting Garu repeatedly until he's finally beaten. Abyo tries to help but Tobe defeats him too, standing victorious over them both. All this action as pulled in a storm and Pucca spies a lightning rod which gives her an idea. Just as lighting-Tobe readies to finish his enemies, Pucca appears and traps him in the rod which she then throws away. The rod hits the Dong King building and attracts a thunder bolt that fries the restaurant, Fyah included.
Garu recovers from the battle to find Puccca trying to kiss him. He spies Tobe's left-behind shoes and puts them on, getting super speed to run away. He is smug at first, thinking he has escaped Pucca, but she shows to be even faster than the super shoes. She stops right in his path and Garu, unable to stop, crashes into her lips.
