Maho Mushi

Maho Mushi is an animated show and trading card series that is infamous in The Fairly OddParents universe for being overly violent. It appeared in "Channel Chasers".

Information
The exact concept of this show is not clear, it appears to be a fighting show involving monsters, robots, and other popular things from Japanese animation. There is also a trading card game featuring characters and monsters from this program including a toyline.

Background
This television program was an important plot piece in "Channel Chasers". It was first reviewed in Chet Ubetcha's Chet-I-Torial, as it being one of the shows on television that causes kids to do stupid and violent things (ex: Ninja sword fights in the trees, jumping from buildings to buildings, throwing someone at other people). Timmy also mimicked the violence in this show by actually wishing up things from it, such as space ships, and tearing through downtown Dimmsdale until his parents put a stop to it by grounding him from watching television.

The show also served as the final battleground between Timmy and Vicky when he was chasing her through television to put a stop to her aspirations for world domination by preventing her from reaching Dictator Week on the Biographical Channel. Maho Mushi was the final program airing before Dictator Week, and therefore Timmy's last stand. Both he and Vicky battled with the Magic TV Remotes that allowed them entry into the television world, using the remote's power to "charge up" their powers and attacks like in actual Japanese animation and fighting games. They were both evenly matched, but Timmy was able to defeat Vicky by aging himself past the point of having Fairy Godparents, and thus both remotes were drained of their power. After Vicky threw down her remote and Timmy was returned to normal by Cosmo and Wanda, he took both remotes and used them to blast Vicky out of Maho Mushi and back into the real world, defeating her and causing her to think the whole ordeal was a dream.
