Shintetsu Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo 4

Bo-bobo is back on the case, taking care of Hair Hunters wherever they are! But for his next assignment, he, Don Patch & Gaou (and Beauty...regretfully) will need some extra training...though who knows what THAT will end up being!

Shinsetsu 4: Let's Go to School!

68.
Narrator: Shibuya: Center Gai
(TN: "Center Gai" is a narrow street in the center of Shibuya ward, filled with many youth-culture oriented activities such as clothing stores, music stores and video arcades)
Cup: LARGE CUP RAMEN
Gaou's Bandana: Asian Star
Bo-bobo: We've perfectly blended into the town of Shibuya...
Don Patch: This is Shibuya style!
Gaou: Successfully debuted in Shibuya, the town of youth.
Beauty: ALL OF YOU ARE HAVING FUN!! THIS IS SHIBUYA STYLE!? IT'S A COMPLETE FAILURE.
Don Patch: ...Well what, it's that koala? That made our lunch go bad.
Gaou: Master Bo, may I have a word: it's best that we deal with this starfish immediately...he's a bad influence.

69.
Don Patch: AAH?
Gaou: OOH?
Don Patch: Fine then: shall we go black and white on Shibuya's famous "cow milking"!?
Cow: Moo--
Gaou: That's how I do it as a B-boy.
(TN: A "B-boy", in general terms, is a practicioner of hip hop culture. In Japan, it mostly is connected to various hip-hop practices such as rap and mixing a turntable. Similarly, the Japanese "B" is different from the American one: in America, the "B" in B-Boy is "breakdancing", whereas in Japan it's "black", in reference to the stereotypical hip-hop followers)
Beauty: THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SHIBUYA AT ALL!!
Don Patch: ICHIMARUKYUU--!! ICHIMARUKYUU--!!
(TN: "Ichimarukyu" (also known by it's numeral name: 109, which is "Ichimarukyu" in Japanese), is a famous store in Shibuya notable for establishing fashion trends...also note the SFX of "gyuu" coming from Don Patch's milking, close to the "kyuu" of Ichimarukyuu)
Gaou: SPAIN-ZAKA STREET---!!
(TN: "Spain-zaka" or "Spanish Slope", is the nickname for another Shibuya street that goes down a descending slope, notable for it's boutiques and even a notable radio station. Likewise note the SFX of "Zaba" for Gaou splashing himself with milk)
Beauty: WHAT IS THIS!? WHICH OF THEM IS WINNING!!?
Beauty: BO-BOBO, STOP THOSE TWO!!
Bo-bobo: ...But I haven't eaten my chaashuu...
(TN: A "chaashuu" is a roasted pork filet usually used in ramen)
Beauty: WHAT'S THAT!?
Girls: KYA--LOOK, A KOALA
Gaou: !
Girls: AMAZING, THERE'S A KOALA HERE!
Girl 1: I'll take a sha-mail with it!
(TN: "Sha-Mail" is a notable service of the cell phone company J-Phone (now known as Softbank), where someone can take a picture with their cell phone then immediately e-mail it to friends)
Gaou: Mi--mi--
Girl 2: That thing is so cute! OUT OF THE WAY
Don Patch: GYAA
Beauty: ...AAH...
Gaou: Kukuku, do you see starfish guy? That's the difference between you and me. (out loud) Mi--mi--(internally) KA KA KA

70.
Don Patch: FINE THEN
Girl 1: Hey, koala-chan, come over here!
Girl 2: Here, here!
Gaou: Mi--mi--
Girl 3: Over here---!
Don Patch: HERE HERE...
Gaou: SHAAAAAAA
Don Patch: !!
Don Patch: GUO!! I'VE PRECISELY HIT HIS CARTORID ARTERY......DIE!!
(TN: "Cartorid artery" is the artery providing blood to the head and neck)
Beauty: KOALAS HAVE CARTORID ARTERIES!?
Voice: KYAAAAAA
Gaou: !
SFX: Unhappy

71.
Gaou: Na...if he serious? He'd scoop out my eyes. The radiant eyes of this cute koala...
Gaou: YOU...FUSHURURURU
Beauty: KYAAA!! HEY...HE BECAME A KOALA'S RELEASED FORM!!
Don Patch: COME ON...YOUNGSTER
Kanji: JYA (Wicked)
Beauty: NO...WHO HAVE YOU ALREADY BECOME!!?
Bo-bobo: YOU'RE DOING IT STRANGELY
Don Patch & Gaou: HOOOOOOOOOOT!!!
Bo-bobo: If you two want to do it black and white, then I've prepared the ultimate scene.
Creature: Here's a tissue.
Bo-bobo: COME AT ME!!
Beauty: Hold on.
"Boy": ...NOISY SCARECROWS.

72.
Bo-bobo: WE'RE HERE. RAMEN PRIVATE HIGH SCHOOL.
Beauty: Eh, what's here?
SFX: Boko Suka Boko Suka
SFX: WHAM BAM WHAM BAM
Bo-bobo: This high school seems normal to those who see it, but actually it's a Kegarimen training school training the vicious Kegarimen.
Beauty: EH!?
Bo-bobo: It's a famous story in Shibuya.
Bo-bobo: Well this time, we're starting an infiltration investigation where we must defeat the string-puller controlling this school.
SFX: Boko Suka Boko Suka
Beauty: AN INFILTRATION INVESTIGATION OF THIS HIGH SCHOOL!!?
Bo-bobo: Blending in to Shibuya town earlier...? That was preliminary practice.
Beauty: THAT WAS!?
Bo-bobo: With that, I am confident that this operation will be successful.
Beauty: THEY WERE BADLY FRAGILE!!
(TN: Don Patch & Gaou's "fusion" is a reference to the "Bokosuka Wars" strategy video game reference back in the original, thus the "Boko & Suka" fighting SFX)
Don Patch: We're sneaking into a high school?
Mask: President
Gaou: Then it's here?
Beauty: THIS ISN'T THE TIME TO BE RETRO YANKEES
(TN: "Yankee" is an expression for a delinquent in Japanese)
Bo-bobo: This infiltration investigation will end immediately when we're exposed as suspicious. I won't forgive one mistake. This is a super-protected operation.

73.
Bo-bobo: THIS TIME, THIS INFILTRATION INVESTIGATION WILL BE WON BY SUCCESSFULLY INFILTRATING; THOSE WHO LOSE WILL BE KICKED OUT AS A MEMBER!! IS THAT ALRIGHT!!
Gaou: Infiltrating is my hobby!
Don Patch: Because when you buy cardboard and quickly throw it away, you become a koala!!
Bo-bobo: NOW LET'S BREAK IN!!
Don Patch: YOISHO--
Beauty: WAA
"Boy": Everyone here's the same.
Namerou: Every single human, I see them all as scarecrows.
"Scarecrow Kanji": AN (PEACE)
Caption: YONONAKA NAMEROU
(TN: I know his real name is "Namerou Yononaka", but I'm trying to keep consistancy with my earlier Bo-bobo translations. BTW: "Yononaka" is "throughout the world" and the "name" of "Namerou" (which obviously uses the "rou" of a male name) is the verb "nameru", which is Japanese for "to put down", "to contempt" or "to lick". All of these will be keys towards Namerou's character throughout this series)

74.
Girls: NAMEROU-KUN
Girl: Um...uh...I made you a bento......
(TN: "Bento" is a Japanese box lunch)
"Girl": IT WOULD BE GREAT IF YOU ATE IT...
Namerou: Out of my way, stupid.
Girl: KYA
Namerou: Yawn~~
Namerou: Bored, bored. Can't something interesting happen?
Namerou: ......
SFX: ERRR

75.
Bo-bobo: HEY, CLASS HAS STARTED
Students: EEH~~!!!? NO, WHO ARE YOU!!?
Bo-bobo: I'm substituting because your public official was attacked by a mysterious afro!
Students: WE'RE REALLY SURE YOU KILLED HIM---!!
Bo-bobo: YOUR TWITCHING IS DEPRESSING!!!

76.
Soccer Players: EH? A TUNA!?
Namerou: ......
Bo-bobo: I'M YOUR TEMPORARY TEACHER, BOBOPATCHI
Board: NOUGAMI NEURO (BRAIN EATER NEURO)
(TN: Yet another shout out to former Sawai assistant Yusei Matsui and his current (at the moment, running from 2005-2009) series "Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro")
Namerou: YET ANOTHER SCARECROW...
Bo-bobo: Phew, somehow our infiltration was successful...we weren't exposed.
Beauty: No, you're super suspicious!! It will be difficult to continue with this infiltration operation!!
Bo-bobo: Look at the student's faces.
Bo-bobo: All of them have accepted me.
Beauty: THEY MISTRUST YOU, YOU'VE BEEN EXPOSED!
Bo-bobo: I'll introduce you to a transfer student. She's Beautyko, who dropped out for killing 50 delinquents by lynching at her old school. Everyone should get along with her.
Beauty: WHAT'S WITH THAT STORY!!?
Bo-bobo: Well, Beautyko's seat will be next to the half-fish man.
Beauty: YOU'RE A STUDENT!?

77.
SFX: MURMUR MURMUR WHISPER WHISPER MURMUR MURMUR WHISPER WHISPER
Beauty: No, we're super suspicious...and further we've been exposed. Don Patch-kun, Gaou-kun...please! Infiltrate successfully.
Bo-bobo: Um--I have to introduce one more transfer student. Please enter.
Don Patch: MIDDLEWEIGHT, WORLD RANK 15TH. WAPACHATTO PAGUWAIBO
Beauty: WHY IS HE A BOXER!!!

78.
Don Patch: I'VE...RETURNED TO TAKE THE TITLE BELT.
Beauty: YOU'RE NOT FLUENT IN INFILTRATION!!!
Don Patch: Perfect!! Perfect infiltration! How's that you koala! Can you blend in here!?
Namerou: ...Another scarecrow.
Don Patch: Did you see Don Patch's super-infiltration?
Beauty: It was terrible.
Don Patch: I've won! I've completely won this infiltration battle!! Now how will you emerge, you koala!!
SFX: ERR
Gaou: NO NO, I'M LATE
All Students: WHAT'S THAT----!!!?

79.
Gaou: Huh? It isn't class inspection today? Mrs. Koala had jumped to that conclusion, ohoho...
Beauty: WHO'S MRS. KOALA!!? WHAT IS HE--!!?
Beauty: EH!? ACCEPTABLE!!? (That)
Don Patch: TH...THAT DUMB KOALA'S AMAZING...HE BIT DOWN ON THE ULTIMATE INFILTRATION~~~~
Beauty: .........
Namerou: And another......
SFX: JIII
Voice: Bo-bobo, he's found out about this academy? His infiltration is a daring pretense...
"Shadow 1": Shall we move?
"Shadow 2": No, it's unnecessary...this class has an "excellent student" for that.

80.
Bo-bobo: OK, everyone's safely snuck in...(out loud) SO NOW WE'LL BEGIN CLASS!!!
Bo-bobo: All of you will open to pg. 362 of your textbooks.
Students: EEH~~~!!? OUR TEXTBOOKS ARE JUMP~~!!?
Bo-bobo: So first, you in the back!! Read!
Namerou: Huh?
Students: HII, THIS IS BAD...
Namerou: I DON'T TAKE ORDERS FROM SCARECROWS----!!!!
Students: !!
Don Patch: BOBOPATCHI-----!!!
Star: #1 STAR
Beauty: BO-BOBO
Bo-bobo: DON'T COME HERE, YOU!! UNDERSTOOD? IF I AS A PUBLIC OFFICIAL RAISES A HAND AGAINST A STUDENT, THAT WILL BE ILL-TREATMENT OF THEM...

81.
Bo-bobo: YOU ROTTEN ORANGE---!!!!
Namerou: !!
Namerou: YOU!! SCARECROWS LIKE YOU I'LL...!!
Bo-bobo: Scarecrow? What are you saying?
Namerou: He's not a scarecrow!!! What is he!? What's going on!?
Namerou: What's wrong with my eyes......? Wh-what is he?
Fishman: Using this?
Box: Tissue
Bo-bobo: BOBOPACHI-SENSEI WON'T GO SOFT ON FORGIVING SCHOOL VIOLENCE!!

TN: First of all, I want to apologize for not getting to this chapter soon enough. I actually did part of it a couple weeks ago but all the research (both on Shibuya and some other stuff) made me get rather slow on completing it. Anyway, this is the chapter where Namerou "officially" makes his Bo-bobo debut. Namerou is, at least to me, a controversial character I really don't want to get into. sure he's another Heppokomaru-esque young male character, but he sort of gets rather annoying rather quickly, even here in his first appearance. Sure he's being used by the "evil force" for this one (though it's weird suspicious silhouettes that will mostly come to nothing as usual in this weird series) but of course this is only the beginning of putting up with Namerou. As for the real chapter, it's obvious that Bo-bobo wasn't going to sneak in too successfully, but we should have expected it by now. Then again, it was funny seeing stuff like Don Patch the boxer and Bo-bobo's "excuse" for Beauty transferring in. (she's going to have to live with this one for a while...)
