Hiiragi: WELL, IT'S A SANGARIA WHERE I'LL BET THE POSITION OF KING OF HAJIKELISTS FOR THE NEW ERA; SHALL WE GO RECKLESSLY HAJIKE!
"Bo-bobo's Caption": LET'S NOT DIVIDE OURSELVES--
Beauty: THEY HAVE LOW TENSION!!
"Creatures": GO HAJIKE; GO HAJIKE; HAJIKE QUICKLY AND STRIKE----!!!
Top flag: Hiiragi
Lower Flag: HAJIKE'S THE GREATEST
Rice: This will be a battle we'll enjoy.

9.
Beauty: Hey, whatever this may be asking this at this late hour but...
Heppokomaru: !
Beauty: WHAT IS A HAJIKELIST?
Heppokomaru: HUH?
Beauty: GREAT! I THOUGHT THE ONE PUT INTO THIS WAS JUST I ALONE. (Because this manga's been going with this by just mood)
Hiiragi: IF THERE WAS A DIRECT TRANSLATION, "HAJIKELIST" IS IDIOT. IDIOTS WHO RECKLESSLY HAJIKE WHERE THEY BET THEIR LIVES ARE CALLED HAJIKELISTS BY PEOPLE.

10.
Beauty: SO THAT'S--WHAT IT IS. IT'S AN IDIOT...
Don Patch: We slightly differentiate on the answer.
Beauty: !

Tennosuke: A Hajikelist is...
Don Patch: WHAT THE MEAT HERE IS CALLED.
Cow Diagram: (top to bottom, left to right)
RUMEN | HEART
SHORT LOIN | HAJIKELIST | GALBI
SIRLOIN | TENDERLOIN
RUMP
(TN: Don Patch's "cow diagram" shows the usual usage of a cow in various cuisine. While most of them seem rather obvious, there are a couple notes I do have to give:
-While cow rumen is usually not seen as a meal in American cuisine, it is part of the meat that is used to cook in Japanese cuisine.
-"Short Loin" refers to the area used for roasts
-The "Galbi" is in reference to the Korean dish, but also can be used for brisket and spiced beef
-The "tenderloin" is in Japanese "filet" and usually served as such)
Beauty: IT'S A TYPE OF YAKINIKU!!?
(TN: Like "Galbi", the "Hajikelist" that Beauty refers to here seems more in connection to the cow's loins, chuck or short ribs, which are used for yakiniku)
Tennosuke: ACCORDING TO THE NEWEST RESEARCH DATA, THERE IS ALSO A THEORY THAT IT IS A VARIETY OF CUP YAKISOBA SEASONING...
Seasonings: HAJIKELIST | SEASONINGS | SAUCE
Beauty: ABSOLUTELY NOT!!
Tennosuke: DON'T TELL HER THAT NONSENSE---
Don Patch: THAT'S GOES FOR YOU--
Bo-bobo: THEY'RE ALL WRONG.
Hiiragi: !
Don Patch & Tennosuke: KYAAAAA

11.
Bo-bobo: A HAJIKELIST ISN'T AS INSIGNIFICANT TO THE EXTENT OF REPRESENTING IT WITH WORDS.
Hiiragi: YOU'VE TAKEN IT OUT. THE PROOF OF LAST YEAR'S KING.
Don Patch: YOU'RE STILL QUITE NAIVE.
Hiiragi: UWOOWOOWOOWOOWO

12.
Hiiragi: YOU'RE DON PATCH, THE LEGENDARY MAN OF THE HAJIKE WORLD WHO TOOK 50 CONSECUTIVE CHAMPIONSHIPS AT THE TOURNAMENTS FROM '57 TO '06. FINALLY, THE DAY HAS COME WHERE I CAN MATCH WITH YOU IN HAJIKE.

Jati: KOORI NO TSUKKOMI SHINKEN CHOUOUGI: TIME TO PACK YOU IN ICE!!!
Bo-bobo, Heppokomaru & Don Patch: GUWAAAAAAA

Jati: IT'S A FRAGILE FOOTHOLD. THIS IS A PAINFUL BATTLE.
Don Patch: YOU, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!
Beauty: HEY, THAT HURTS; THAT WASN'T ME.

14.
Hiiragi: AS IS, YOUR ALLIES WILL ALL DIE. SO SHOULDN'T WE GO TO THE LEGENDARY HAJIKE FIELD
Bo-bobo: DAMN YOU, IS THIS HAND THE ONLY THING?
Don Patch: OPEN
Bo-bobo, Don Patch & Hiiragi: HAJIKE FIELD!!!!
(TN: "Hajike Field" is a bit like "Bo-bobo World", with a literal translation of "Holy Hajike Area")
Tennosuke: !

15.
Beauty: WHAT IS HERE? IT'S CHANGED TO A SOUTHERN COUNTRY
Softon: IS THIS A WORLD BO-BOBO CONSTRUCTED?
Heppokomaru: I've heard of this.
Heppokomaru: WHEN THREE PENDANTS THAT ARE THE PROOF OF THE KING ARE HOISTED INTO THE HEAVEN, THEY OPEN THE HAJIKE GATE AND ENTER INTO "HAJIKE FIELD"...
Beauty: HE'S EMERGED: THE BATTLE OTAKU!!!
Bo-bobo: NO----WHAT IS THIS; WE WERE SAVED IN THE KNICK OF TIME!
Don Patch: SO YOU'RE HIIRAGI-KUN? YOU'RE GOOD AND EASY GOING.

Tennosuke: GYAAAAA

17.
Bo-bobo: WITH KANPYOU!?
Hiiragi: I HADN'T MENTIONED IT, BUT I'M STRONG BECAUSE I'M ONE OF THE MARUHAGE THREE DAIOU!
Hiiragi: AND THIS COOL FELLOW IS ONE OF THE THREE DAIOU.

Jati: WHAT!?

20.
Jati: HEY...YOU KNOW MY TRUE IDENTITY?
Don Patch: I KNOW IT.
Beauty: THE TRUE IDENTITY OF THE BLACK ME; WHAT IS IT?
Don Patch: It was one year ago...It was in a room at a hotel where everyone had fallen asleep. (flashback) Beauty
Don Patch: I SAW THE BIRTH OF A YOUKAI DOPPELGANGER
"Jati": HEEHEEHEEHEEEHEEHEEHEEHEE

Jati: ...
Jati: DON'T MAKE UP THAT SELFISH STORY!!!
Don Patch: THE SECOND TIME I MET YOU WAS AT THE NORTH POLE.
Jati: WHAT!?

23.
Don Patch: YOUR HAJIKE ISN'T ENOUGH.
Beauty: DON PATCH-KUN, YOU'RE AMAZING
Heppokomaru: AAH...THE BLACK BEAUTY-SAN IS PITIFUL...(It's a complex feeling)
Hiiragi: THIS IS THE TRUE POWER OF THE LEGENDARY HAJIKELIST, HUH?
Jati: KU, I HAD MY TSUKKOMI SENT BACK TO ME.
Bo-bobo: WHICH OF US IS THE SUMMIT? LET'S FIGURE THAT OUT.
Dengaku Man: Well--then, shall I do a solo-swim?

TN: Alright this has to be asked first: the series has lasted close to 300 chapters at this point (230 + 65 = 295, thus close to 300) and just now is Beauty asking about the definition of "Hajike" and "Hajikelist"? Shouldn't she have probably figured it out by now with how much Hajike she's put up with for six years already? Well...I guess with time running out and no clear definition made by anyone other "all the weird stuff certain characters end up doing", she just wanted cleared up once and for all since...speak now or forever hold your peace. Heck, with all the reactions she'd had for every weird moment this series has done, Beauty could probably have inferred in her mind the definition of "Hajikelist" without even thinking too hard. Then again Bo-bobo is probably the best in explaining it: Hajike is probably whatever you want it to be and just giving a definition limits it to it's true potential...well it's that or that flank of beef Don Patch claimed it was.

Aside from that silly thought, there isn't too much to really say about the chapter. I'm trying to figure out why the heck three "Kings of Hajikelists" would have to be in the same place at the same time to even activate the power of "Hajike Field", but I guess it's just a means to define Bo-bobo, Don Patch and Hiiragi meeting here as such a rare occasion. (there were sort of three back in Hajike Block...but only once Bo-bobo won Rice's pendant, then there were three Kings...and two pendants...or is it two kings, one former king and one pendant?...but hey, nice to see Rice and even the Dynamite Brothers cameo) I also like Tennosuke choosing to take a back seat with this fight even though Black Bo-bobo and Jati seem more active than usual. Tennosuke knows he's in over his head even with his own Hajike power and rather just be a supporter of Bo-bobo and Don Patch (the real masters) this time instead of trying to act weird on his own and get crushed. (well get crushed in a way other than usual) And the ending...well, the Jati concepts never get old but we're going to have to wait until later to figure out what she and Black Bo-bobo really are...though the Doppelganger concept is probably close.
