Buuuuuttttt, at the beginning of episode 41, it was shown that he already had the dead body of his assassinated political rival whom he said to possess hypnosis power. If Nyelv was able to combine the poor Granute politician's body with Kenzou's body, then he should've been able to combine it with another Granute's body, and then used it to hypnotize the entire Granute population. Which means: Bocca already had all the ingredients to create his ultimate tool of mass hypnosis that he'd ultimately use as his political weapon, without even involving Stomach corporation (except Nyelv) Dark Snacks, kidnapping humans, and all that crap. Bocca's convoluted endgame (about transforming the entire human world into a planet-scale Hito Press farm) is just the same exact plan with 10 extra steps, which of course, will end in Bocca's (and Liselle's) death, haha.
What he should do is:
- Keep the dead body of his assassinated political rival who he said to possess hypnosis power.
- Combine it with another Granute's body.
- Use it to manipulate the entire Granute population.
- Win the election and be the dictator president for the next 100 years.
Instead, what he's actually been doing is:
- Keep the dead body of his assassinated political rival who he said to possess hypnosis power.
- Combine it with a human's body.
- Use it to manipulate the entire human population.
- Use the entire human population as ingredients of Dark Snacks.
- Feed the Dark Snacks to the entire Granute population and manipulate them.
- Win the election and be the dictator president for the next 100 years.
- Of course, his convoluted plan will be screwed up at the last minutes by the protagonists, and it will end in Bocca's (and Liselle's) death.
Instead of winning the election by using a simple, straightforward plan, he's decided to use an uber-convoluted plan that will result in his own death. If this is what'll actually happen in the story, then I can only say:
What a dumb politician Bocca is!"

But in episode 46 Nyelv said that this hypnotic ability only works for eight minutes on Granute. Bokka would have to put his butlers with hypnotic pistols at all the polling stations to simply win the elections, which would be immediately recognized as illegitimate anyway. While Dark Treats provide strong dependence and therefore are much preferable. So far from the first repetition of this statement is no longer appropriate.
