Sket Dance 77

Dear Lord, I don't think I've ever translated so much Sket Dance in such a short space of time. And just so you know, it nearly killed me, but at least I did it (which is more than I thought I was going to manage), so I guess you could say one good thing came out of a certain bunch of evil assholes coming out of nowhere and trying to steal my series in a surprise attack of unprecedented bastardliness. Don't bother thinking this takes them off my death list, because they're still on there until every trace of those goddamn scanlations is wiped clean off the internet, but if they would stop releasing the series RIGHT NOW, then that would at least be a nice start ^^

Now, without further ado, I present translation number six of my fifteen-Sket-Dance-translations-in-about-three-days marathon.

Last Time's Events
All right, boys and girls, now pay attention~!☆ It's time to go over what happened last time!
I asked the Sket-dan to help out on a childrens' TV show by standing in as actors for the costume characters.
But during their rest break, they were accidentally trapped inside a storehouse; it's terrible!
They're all stuck with long, floppy arms, so they can't really do much - even they're surprised by just how floppy these arms really are!
Now then, everyone, it's time for the Flippy-Floppy Exercise~~~!!
Himeko: The heck is that?!

[Insert text: Will this really all go according to plan...?]
[Text: Spectre, also known as Bossun's / AWESOME STOREHOUSE ESCAPE PLAN!!]
Bossun: We collect the rays of the Sun in one of Bogey's magnifying glasses... // ...to light a match. // We transfer the fire using a fan... // ...and use it to burn up the packaging of the magnets. // Picking up a magnet with the sword... // ...and picking up the scissors with that... // ...if we slot the scissors onto the door's lock... // ...and turn them, the door should open! // ......Hopefully!!

3
Bossun: Ready, you guys?! We're going to make this plan a success! So keep calm and do this carefully!!
Himeko: Gotcha!!
Bossun: Right, then - first of all, Switch! Get the magnifying glass into position! // We have to collect the rays of the Sun onto the head of a match!!
Himeko: All right!! Go Switch~~~~!!!
Bossun/Himeko: ............... // (So long and floppy...)

4
Bossun: You need to get into this, Switch!! Don't look like that!!
Himeko: Looks like he's tryin' to tell us he is gettin' into this. / Not bein' able to talk must kinda suck...
Bossun: Well, then, Himeko. / Try and position your arms to support the magnifying glass!
Himeko: Gotcha!
Bossun: All right! Looking good! / Just keep it held right there!
Himeko: ............... / The heck is this?! Seriously, what the heck are we even doin'...
Bossun: You can't start thinking like that right now, Himeko! // All right, it's alight!! / Now we have to transfer it to the Remi-oneesan fan!
Himeko: Bossun, go get the fan!
Bossun: All right!

5
Bossun: Huh? // Waaaghhh!! // Oh, crap...! They've all fallen on the floor...!!
Himeko: YOU MORON~~~~~~~~~~~~!!! // The heck do we do now?! We can't pick them up with these arms!!
Bossun: I... I can see that! // I can see that, okay?! It's because of these stupid arms that I dropped them in the first place! // W... We just have to find something else to use... // Something that'll burn, and that we can hold with these hands...
Himeko: Where are we meant to find somethin' like that...?

6
Bossun: That's it!
Himeko: Huh? / What's it?
Bossun: Right there!
Himeko: Whaaaaa?!!!
[Box: And so the role of carrying the fire from the match to the magnets was given to Phantom's pompoms instead of the Remi-oneesan fan. Are you following this, everyone~?
Bossun: Let's get that circle of light a bit smaller... / Then hold it still, and... // All right, got it! / Go for it, Himeko!
Himeko: Right!

7
Bossun: Right! It's on fire!
Himeko: That's scary!! // Aghh... Aghhh! / This is really freakin' scary!!
Bossun: Calm down! You just have to transfer it! // That's right - use it to light the package of magnets! // (............... // It...)

8
Bossun: (IT WON'T LIGHT~~~~~~~!!) // Th... This is no good... We can't burn the cardboard part from below, so... / ...this is gonna take a while...
Himeko: The heck is that?! / Who came up with this stupid plan?! // Phantom's hand is burnin' up here, dammit!! / My real hand's gonna end up burnin' up an' all at this rate!
Bossun: Just hang in there! You've just got to hold on, Phantom!! // Just a little longer, and the magnets will be free! // Don't move your hand until then!

9
Himeko: ............!! // HOOOOTTT!!! // CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP!!
Bossun: Okay, it's out!!
Himeko: I can't take this any more~~~~~! Why do I gotta go through this...?! / I wanna go home! I wanna taste fresh air again!
Bossun: Don't worry, Himeko. We've got the magnets out of their case.
Himeko: Really? Then all we've gotta to is attach 'em to the sword, right?!
Bossun: Yeah, just a little further and we're done! / ?! // Hm? // Is it just me... or does it smell like something's burning? // !!!

10
Bossun: AAAAAGHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Himeko: F - F - FIRE!!
Bossun: But how?! // ...Over there! The fire from the match that we lit before caught onto the fans on the floor......!!
Himeko: Huh...? This looks bad! What do we do now?
Bossun: ............!!! // W... We carry on with the plan!! We don't have any way of putting this out!! // We've gotta get out of here quick, before the fire spreads!!
Himeko: Gotcha!!

11
Bossun: The sword!! / Where's that metal sword?!
Himeko: Over there!!
Bossun: All right! We just use this to pick up the magnet... // Huh? // (IT'S NOT WORKING~~~~~~!!) // This sword's made of aluminium!!
Himeko: You've gotta be kiddin' me!!

12
Bossun: Metal!! / Find something else made of metal!! // At this rate, we're all going to be burned up, costumes and all!!
Himeko: Can't search over this side, not with the flames everywhere!
Bossun: Crap... // Hm? // What's this...? // (D......)
[Box: Variety Goods / Dynamite / DANGER]
Bossun: (DYNAMITE?)
Himeko: Bossun? Did ya find something?
Bossun: U... Uh-huh... I definitely found something... // At... At any rate, hurry up!! We're going to be blown to bits at this rate!!
Himeko: Huh?! What?!
Bossun: Just find something metal!

13
Bossun: Hm... // What are these poles......? // Oh... just fishing rods. // ! // The fish hook on the end is metal!
Himeko: Ahhh!
Bossun: We can pick up a magnet with this!! // Yes!! // And then...!!

14
Bossun: AGHH!! // Aaaaaghhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Himeko: Bossun!!
Bossun: The fire! It buuuuurns~~~~~!!
Himeko: What are you playin' at?!! You think you're a stuntman or somethin'?!!
Bossun: I can't take this any more! I'm scared~~~~~~~~!!
Himeko: You've gotta stay well back from the fire! / You just wanted to look all cool with the fire behind you, didn't ya!
Bossun: I did not!! This rod's just long, so I had to stand further back! // (Ugh... this is no time to be standing around talking... We're almost out of time...)

15
Bossun: I'm picking up those scissors if I burn up in the process!!
Himeko: Huh, that is kinda cool!
Bossun: Ngh...!
Himeko: (What is this, a fishin' game?! // ...is what I'd like to say, but...!)
Bossun: There!! // Got it!!
Himeko: All right! Go Bossun~~~~~~~!!

16
Producer: The audience are all ready and seated! / Where have those three got to?!
SomeGuy: That is weird... they weren't in the storehouse where you left them... // Hm?! / Over there... the old storehouse... is that smoke?!
Producer: H... Huh?!! // What the...? D... Don't tell me...
SomeGuy: They're in there......?
Himeko: Hurry it up already!!! Stop swingin' the damn thing around like that!!
Bossun: Be quiet, would you?! I need to concentrate here!! I'm really freaking nervous!!
Producer: Th... They must be inside that storehouse!! / Quick! We need to extinguish the fire!!

17
Producer: !!!
SomeGuy: Whaaa?!!
Producer: N - N - N - No way...........................!!! // What have we done.....................?!!! // I... I see... with those costumes on, they couldn't get out in time... Ahhh... I'm so, so sorry...! // ! // Wait...
