What’s the story?

“In the year 300X......the world is controlled by the bald empire. The bald empire’s ruler ‘Tsuru Tsurina the 4th’ uses his power to make everyone look like him. The king himself made a troop of bald soldiers and issued them a warrant to remove all hairs in the world...... and so the hair hunting begins.
The hair hunters job is to violently pull out all the hair that they see in their path. The bald empire is very strong. This is mainly is due to a lot of loyal followers. Everyone lives their everyday life in fear, afraid to encounter the ‘Hair hunter troops’.
But one man, that is brave enough, stood against them for the sake of freedom of hair and peace during that period.”
In a village named ‘Inafu’, a Hair hunter raid is under way. The troops are mercilessly pulling out hairs all while the villagers scream in pain.
Out of nowhere a talking pickle come out and calls them ‘Meanie! ‘, prompting the troop leader to send him flying with a kick.
“Dammit! How come bobobo didn’t show up at a time like this? “ says a villager as he lays on the ground with a bloodied nose and his hair pulled out.
Another villager claims, “It is said that he has mastered the terrifying ‘Nose Hair Fist! ‘ because of this dangerous technique, almost all hair hunter bases have been destroyed!”.
Just then, we see a ‘Wild Veggies’ motorcycle gang headed towards them with Bobobo hanging on a cross, all beat up. They dump his body near the troops and be on their way.
Seeing Bobobo down, the Hair hunter troops try to jump him, but even a weakened Bobobo is too much for them with his ‘Nose Hair Fist Technique: Merciless Nose Hair Fist’. Hair emerges from his nose and fight off all the troops at once, burying them in the ground.
As the battle ends, a young girl named ‘Beauty’ approaches him and asks, “Why do you fight them? “, to which Bobobo explains how his country was destroyed by the Hair hunters and that he has pledged to stop their tyranny.
He then heads to the next Hair hunter base, The G Block Base, to take it down. “That’s impossible! Even for someone like you”, concerns Beauty, but Bobobo reassures her by saying, “It’s alright, I have a battle plan......”
He gets up to the base, posing as an ‘Afro Seller’. The bald troops intrigued by the afro’s go in for a closer look, not realizing his identity. He manages to successfully enter the base, all while selling out on his afro’s.
The base commander ‘Hagen’ is eagerly awaiting him. The battle begins and Bobobo’s nose hair starts flying everywhere. Hagen grabs and pulls one of his hairs, only to see a ‘2nd price’ tag at the end of it.
“Congrats! You just won yourself the second price! A game called the ‘legendary quest of Bobobo’”
Irritated by his humorous attitude, Hagen charges at him. But before he can attack, Bobobo unleashes another attack, ‘Black Snake’. A nose hair flies and sticks to Hagen’s nose, and using it as a rope, one of Bobobo’s tiny underlings zips across it to Hagen’s nose. Hagen just flicks it away......
Hagen dashes close to him and pulls his afro, only to see two squirrels having tea on a miniature table.
“It’s a wig......that hair is nothing more than a friggin wig?
Having his secret found out, Bobobo breaks down. But as soon as Hagen gets close, Bobobo unleashes a final attack ‘Burning Hair Spirit Deadly Armpit Hair Fist’, ending the battle.
Beauty and Mr. Pickle, who witnessed the entire match, come out and beg Bobobo to let them join his quest. He thinks about and finally agrees.
“And so the fate of Bobobo had merged with the mysterious girl “Beauty” plus a plant “Pickle”. But what will the dangerous journey ahead of them bring? “
