Shintetsu Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo 63

Through several coordinated moves, Hiiragi has suddenly increased his influenced in the Neo-Maruhage! But the greatest key to his plan may be the hardest for him to control...especially with how "close" he is to Bo-bobo (literally!)

Shinsetsu 63: Enter the Strongest Enemy of the 23 Wards!!

173.
Narrator: The Bo-bobo party, who had defeated Kamara, one of the Three Daiou, escaped the Black Gambling Area and were in front of the gate to the central sector of the Neo-Maruhage Empire ahead of them.

174.
3rd: That's fine. I appoint you the new Three Daiou.
3rd: But there are many who are aiming for that seat. Be careful as best as possible.
Hiiragi: Yes.
Hiiragi: ...

Hiiragi: JATI
Pantsumaru: GYAAA
Hiiragi: Have you killed Babuu?
Jati: YES!
Fish: Checkmate
Hiiragi: Then you've obtained Black Bo-bobo as I've planned.
Jati: ...HE HAD GONE SOMEWHERE WHILE I WAS FIGHTING... (flashback) Ge...he's not here--
Hiiragi: HE RAN AWAY?

176.
Hiiragi: BLACK BO-BOBO IS A DANGEROUS EXISTENCE WHO HIDES INFINITE POWER. WHATEVER IS DONE, WE MUST OBTAIN HIM INTO OUR HANDS...
Hiiragi: !
SFX: DOPUN
Hiiragi: I'VE CAUGHT IT!!
Hiiragi: HAA!!
"Sea God": MY SUBSTITUTE UNDERPANTS----
Fish: YOU CAN'T COME TO THIS, POSEIDON-SAMAA~~~~
Hiiragi: I'VE FISHED THE GOD OF THE SEA WITH UNDERPANTS...
Hiiragi: BLACK BO-BOBO, WHERE IS HE NOW?...

Sign: ORIGINAL LITTLE SISTER-STYLE HEROINE
Don Patch: THIS FELAMUNE...
Bag: Felamune
(TN: "Felamune" is a candy treat that has a novelty of being able to whistle through, though it more reminds me of the American candy "Life-Savers")
Don Patch: Fe...Fe...
Don Patch: SEEMS IT CAN BE EATEN THOUGH IT CAN'T MAKE A SOUND!!! (SFX) CHO--MP
Heppokomaru: That's fine...
Don Patch: FURTHER, I CAN PUT ALL THE CHOCOLATE ON THE VERY FIRST CRACKER OF TSUKECHOCOOOOO!!
(TN: "Tsukechoco" is a popular Japanese snack involving a cookie being dipped into a vat of chocolate on the side; the best known brand is the Meiji Seika brand "Yan Yan")
Heppokomaru: ............RIGHT.
Beauty: He-kun, thank you for saving us earlier.
Heppokomaru: Ah, Beauty.
Beauty: Yeah! It's good you've been healthy.

178.
Don Patch: WHY ARE THOSE TWO LOVESTRUCK~~~~WHILE THERE'S A HEROINE WHO IS ME, THAT LITTLE GIRL AND~~~
Don Patch: I CURSE YOU, I CURSE YOU, CURSE, CURSE!
Kanji: IWA (CELEBRATE)
Tennosuke: You've made a mistake with your kanji. X - Iwai (Congratulate); O - Noroi (Curse)
(TN: It's really hard to show this gag in English considering that the joke is all based on Japanese kanji. What Don Patch had written before was what he thought was "Noroi", which has a radical for "box" on the left side. But instead, Don Patch accidentally writes "iwai", with the correct second character, but the wrong radical; using instead of "box" the radical for "show")
Don Patch: Eh!?
Don Patch: .........
Don Patch: I CELEBRATE YOU!! I CELEBRATE YOU!! I CELEBRATE THE TWO OF YOU~~~~~~
Beauty: ..................
Heppokomaru: ...THANKS...
Narrator: SHE CRIED
Don Patch: UWAAAAAAAAAA
Narrator: THAT NIGHT, PATCHMI CRIED

Bo-bobo: Heppokomaru, you're beyond recognition.
Heppokomaru: BO-BOBO-SAN
Bo-bobo: This power I'm certain has piled up with training that you've harvested.
Heppokomaru: YE...YES.
Caption: ACTUAL TRAINING SITUATION
Fundoshitaro: AKAFUN DANCE
(TN: As I mentioned last time when Fundoshitaro appeared way back, "Akafun Dance" is "Akafun no Mai", with "Akafun" finally realized at this point as in "red fundoshi")
Serviceman: SERVICE FAN-WIND!!! SERVICE FAN-WIND!!!
(TN: "Fan-wind" is actually "Senpuu", which is the first two kanji of "Senpuuki" or "Electric Fan")
Kancho-kun: GO--TO HELL!!!
Heppokomaru: AREN'T ALL OF YOU IN THE WAY----!!!

180.
Narrator: That night
Ochazuke Alien: I like Ayumi in Class 3.
Serviceman: Seriously
Heppokomaru: GO HOME!!!
Bo-bobo: WERE THOSE ALLIES THAT I CALLED USEFUL?
Heppokomaru: THAT WAS YOUR DEED!!!
Hatenko: Ke
Hatenko: You're a brat who doesn't make merry but
B. Bo-bobo: ...
(TN: To differentiate from the real Bo-bobo...and so I don't have to write the whole thing the whole time, "Black Bo-bobo" will be referred to in the script sections as "B. Bo-bobo")
Heppokomaru: WHAT THE
Softon: OUR CHAT ENDS HERE. ACCORDING TO THE INTELLIGENCE I GATHERED, WHEN WE PASS THROUGH THIS GATE, WE'LL BE IN THE CENTRAL SECTOR FO THE NEO-23-WARDS. FROM HERE AHEAD IS ALL AN UNKNOWN, SUPER-DANGEROUS AREA!! WE CAN'T GO AHEAD WITH INCOMPLETE RESOLUTION!!
(TN: There's a weird visual joke here that we can't give off in the script: the bubbles infer that Softon is talking but does so in a weird way: the first bubble refers to him as "Unko", which should be obvious by now. But the other bubble refers to Softon also as "Unko", but uses the kanji for "Master" for the "Ko", thus "Master Un" or merely "Master Poop")

181.
Beauty: Over there?
Signs: (right to left): Otter Entrance | EMERGENCY ENTRANCE | Mouse Entrance
Softon: !
Softon: DON'T GET YOURSELVES PUZZLED! THIS IS TOKYO'S NEO-23 WARDS: WHAT'S WAITING AHEAD IS STILL MORE HELL!!

Beauty: THIS IS LIKE A SENSE OF IMPENDING CRISIS----!! (Some of them are flying)
Heppokomaru: A KINDERGARTEN!!?
Don Patch: POOP, HEY!! WEREN'T YOU LYING?
Heppokomaru: GUBA
Tennosuke: WHEREVER WE LOOK, IT'S A KINDERGARTEN OF THE GOOD KIDS OF GOOD KIDS!!
Bo-bobo: WHAT IS THIS MIGHTY OVERBEARING FEELING!? 7...8...9...IT'S OVER 10...IT'S SUDDENLY INCREASED FROM WHEN WE ENTERED THE GATE!
B. Bo-bobo: ? ?
Hatenko: I DON'T LIKE THESE EXTREME USERS THAT ARE AHEAD
B. Bo-bobo: Seriously!? Where? Where?
Don Patch: NOT CONNECTED--TO THIS; WE'RE GOING TO PLAY AT THE KINDERGARTEN!
Beauty: AH! WAIT
B. Bo-bobo: ME TOO, ME TOO--
Beauty: N?

"Old Man": Merely a kindergartner. (Fu---)
Heppokomaru: LIAR!!!
"Old Man": ALL OF YOU HAVE THE LUCK TO HAVE ENTERED INTO THIS NEO-SHINJUKU WARD. YOU'RE GOING TO BE KILLED BY THE DEVILS WHO PLANT BLOOD
Heppokomaru: WHAT?
Don Patch: UWAAAA, BEAUTY
Tennosuke: BO-BOBO IS, BO-BOBO IS...
Beauty: What?
Don Patch: HE HAS A DIFFERENT APPEARANCE THAN HE ALWAYS HAS SOMEHOW. WHAT'S GOING ON HERE...

184.
Don Patch: Are you saying that I am burdened with an unusual sadness...are you saying that this is like a transient bud that opens into a flower on the seashore...
Don Patch: HE'S MERELY RAGING GREATLY
B. Bo-bobo: DON'T WORRY, DON'T WORRY
Beauty & Heppokomaru: UWAAAAAAAA
Beauty: CAN'T YOU STOP, BO-BOBO?
Bo-bobo: RIGHT--RIGHT--
Heppokomaru: YOU'RE DOING TOO MUCH.

Don Patch: BO...BOBO...BOBOBO...BOBOBOBO...BOBOBO...BOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBO
Everyone: THERE ARE TWO BO-BOBO!!!!
Bo-bobo & B. Bo-bobo: EEEH, SERIOUSLY!!!?
B. Bo-bobo: UNAWARINGLY!?
Bo-bobo: WHAT IS THIS!!?

B. Bo-bobo: ...It's been a while.........

Heppokomaru: THAT ISN'T A HUMAN---!!!
Heppokomaru: !! WATCH OUT, BO-BOBO-SAN!!
B. Bo-bobo: Hmph

187.
B. Bo-bobo: BLACK HANAGE SHINKEN
(TN: It pretty much speaks for itself: "Black" was in katakana thus it's "Black True-Fist of Nosehair")
Bo-bobo: GUOOOOOOOO
Tennosuke: KU
Beauty: KYAAAA
Bo-bobo: THAT'S...HANAGE SHINKEN!?

Don Patch: GYAAAAA
Hatenko: THAT GUY, OYABIN'S BEEN
Softon: HOLD ON! DON'T LAY A HAND TO HIM CARELESSLY

189.
Beauty: What sort of person is he exactly?
Tennosuke: I don't know what sort of person he is. If I were to merely speak figuratively with a single word on that Black Bo-bobo.........
Tennosuke:A WILD BULGOGI
(TN: "Bulgogi" or "Purukogi" as it's called in Japanese, is a Korean dish of barbecue, usually of beef but chicken and pork also are used for the dish)
"Bulgogi": I give myself. I give myself.
Tennosuke: .........That's what I say.
Beauty: I don't understand the meaning at all.
Dengaku Man: Die. (Tennosuke)
B. Bo-bobo: I AM BLACK BO-BOBO. I'LL KILL BO-BOBO AND I'LL BE THE REAL BO-BOBO

TN: Well...at least I'm happy the evil Bo-bobo is just as wacky and insane as the original. They could have had some sort of thing where he was all serious and the "anti-Bo-bobo", but considering that last chapter he was reading a magazine in his tube...and now is playing around in a kindergarten playground...yeah, I think I'm happy that Black Bo-bobo went in this direction. Sure he's still evil and has Hanage Shinken, but there are certain things that make him unrecognizable with the original golden-afro version. Aside from that, this was an interesting and fun chapter that continued on from the last time with all sorts of weirdness, from Hiiragi's fishing trip to Heppokomaru's "Training" (though Fundoshitaro being on their side is new to me, we already knew Kancho, Ochazuke and Serviceman were for a while) and the bizarre old guy in the playground! It's weird to say this but after all the stupid stuff we've been through in the last few chapters with Gura-san and Kamara has suddenly been wiped away with Hiiragi taking center stage alongside Jati and Black Bo-bobo...I hope somehow they can keep this up considering...we only got ten chapters left and two major fights to go!
