Well unless there is a board rule against it, the "fair use" doctrine would allow the posting of a single image without violating copyright rules. Happens all the time. ^_^

Does extreme stupidity not already show her to not be a perfect, flawless being?

You know, the episode didn't really work for me simply because Belldandy hasn't been properly set up to be jealous in the anime. Thus her suddenly becoming jealous makes no sense. In the manga, by the time this story appeared, Belldandy's romantic feelings for K1 were quite clear. The couple had even kissed a few times by that point and Belldandy had worried several times about K1 no longer needing her. So when Shiho comes around, Belldandy's jealousy stems from her old fears about K1 not needing her.

So to me, this just seemed out of left-field. That may have been what the writers wanted to achieve, but to me, it lost most of its impact.
