Shintetsu Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo 5

Beginning an undercover operation to stop the next generation of Hair Hunters, Bo-bobo's team is undercover at a high school. But one of the students may be more than they can handle...particularly since everyone he sees are scarecrows!

Shinsetsu 5: In an Unlicked Life, Lick This!

84.
Namerou: THIS TEACH'S GOT A CONTEMPTING BEHAVIOR...I'LL KILL HIM, I'LL KILL HIM...I'LL KILL HIM.
Bo-bobo: BOBOPACHI-SENSEI'S SPECIAL STUDENT COACHING HAS BEGUN. THOSE WHO DEFY ME WILL FORCIBLY HAVE THEIR ARM TWISTED!! THAT'S MY EDUCATION POLICY.
Don Patch: WELL LET'S BEGIN!! LET'S SHOW HIM OUR CUSTOMARY YELL!! TOGETHER, EVERYONE...YEAR-3, CLASS-B...
(TN: It probably sounds really strange here but Don Patch does go "3-nen, B-gumi", which TL into...well what I said here. BTW: Since this is a high school, then "3-B" would be 12th grade)
Boy: This has become dangerous...
Girl: ......Yes...
Don Patch: BOBOPACHI-SENSEI--!! (Don't mind me--)

85.
Beauty: Hey...though we've finally snuck in, it was all for nothing...
Beauty: WHAA!!!
Gaou: Un un.
Beauty: YOU'RE LONG AND THIN!! THAT'S SCARCLY CUTE.
(TN: Beauty uses a term here of "kishoi", which is an abbreviation of "kishokawaii", which translates to the "scarcly cute" above")
Gaou: Since it's Tuesday
Gaou: I transform.
Beauty: ARE YOU REALLY A KOALA!?
Bo-bobo: EXPEL THE YOUKAI!!!
Caption:HELL TEACHER BOBOBE
(TN: Yeah...like Torpedo Girl before him, Bo-bobo has made the reference to the Shou/Okano '90s WSJ manga "Hell Teacher Nube" (nee: Jigoku Sensei Nube)...at least he uses the actual Oni no Te)
Gaou: GYAAAAA, I'VE BEEN SET ON FIRE----!!!
Namerou: Any and all of them will be killed instantly!! Those who contempt me.........
Bo-bobo: !!

86.
Namerou: WILL BE UTTERLY LICKED BY THIS LEROLERO SHINKEN!!
(TN: Several puns are coming into play at this point: first of all, Namerou begins by saying at the end of the last page "those who contempt me", which is in Japanese "Kono ore wo nameta yatsu wa.........", which includes the verb "nameru", which I mentioned before had a meaning of "to be contempted" or "put down". However, the verb also has the translation of "to lick", which leads to the pun of the next page where Namero states in Japanese the expression "namekorosu", combining "korosu", or "to kill" and "nameru" which, in this case, obviously is "to lick". I didn't think "killed by licking" really worked well as a pun so I made it "utterly licked". BTW: "Lerolero" is "the onomatopeic sound effect of a wobbling tongue", thus "Lerolero Shinken" = "Fist of Wobbling Tongue")
Beauty: UWACHA---!!! THIS GUY IS DOING THAT...--!!!
Bo-bobo: That's the face of a strong guy...he's strong.
Beauty: REALLY!!?
Don Patch: MY TYPE
Beauty: !!

87.
Gaou: Shakkuri-san, Shakkuri-san...wh-o is the person who will have the hiccups tomorrow?
(TN: Gaou is performing a typical version of "table-turning", a type of fortune-telling done by teenage girls communicating with the spirit world via the alphabet. BTW: the "person" that Gaou is trying to summon is "Shakkuri-san", which is Japanese for "hiccups"...and thus why he's asking)
Beauty: WHAT ARE YOU DOING AT THIS MOMENT!?
Namerou: YOU'RE IN THE WAY: OUT OF THE WAY SCARECROWS--!!
Class: GYAAAAAA
Namerou: LEROLERO SHINKEN OUGI: GRAPE-FLAVORED RAPIDS
Bo-bobo, Don Patch & Gaou: GUWAAAAAA!!!
Bo-bobo: IT HURTS THOUGH WE'VE JUST BEEN LICKED---!!
Don Patch: HAFUN
Bo-bobo: WHAT---!!! HE LICKED UP A LOLLIPOP WITH ONE LICK----!!!

88.
Bo-bobo: THE SUCTION POWER AND SPEED OF A TONGUE OF A PERSON OF THAT EXTENT IS POWERFUL...
Don Patch: DOKYUN
Bo-bobo: FURTHER HE'S LICKING LIGHTLY 5,000 TIMES IN A SECOND! LEROLERO SHINKEN...IT'S DANGEROUS!!!
Beauty: Bo-bobo...
Don Patch: Leave him to me.
Don Patch: NOW PLEASE LICK ME FROM ANYWHERE!!!
Beauty: KYAAAAA, WHAT ARE YOU DOING----!!!?
Don Patch: WELL, I'M A CAKE!! LICK ME---! LICK IT ALL OFF ME---! AAH! GOOD! MUCH MORE LIKE THAT! AH...AAH...
Don Patch: RETORT POUCH----!!!!
(TN: Retort pouch is a style of food preservation using pressure at least 70,000 square pounds per square inch as a means to preserve freshness and prevent spoilage.)

89.
Don Patch: HUH!!
Don Patch: HEY--YOU, WHY AREN'T YOU LICKING!! HUH!? I WAS A CAKE HERE!!
Beauty: SELF-DEFENSIVE ANGER---!!!
(TN: Beauty uses a term "Gyakugire" for Don Patch here, which is "getting angry in defense of yourself with what had been done by someone else in response, with "self-defensive anger" probably the best way to TL it for the moment)
Don Patch: I'm not angry. If I was angry, then it would be a big deal.
Shirt: KORIKI
(TN: Don Patch is mocking Koriki Choushu [born Kazuteru Kubota], a Japanese comedian whose main act is to mock Japanese wrestler Riki Choushu by wearing a "too-small" T-shirt and really short shorts)
Namerou: GO AWAY, SCARECROOW!!!
Don Patch: AH--
Gaou: Fu...you are a starfish after all! I, the intellectual-type, have discovered a means to defeat his Shinken.
Car: YUUKARI-GOU 68-R
(TN: The "Yuukari-gou" is in reference to a "people mover" train developed by Yamaman Co. called the "Yamaman Yuukarigaoka Line". The line runes through an entire area near and around the Yuukarigaoka section of the city of Sakura in Chiba Prefecture, an hour from Tokyo)
Beauty: Huh?
Gaou: THE MEANS IS THIS----!!!
Bucket: KARASHI
(TN: "Karashi" is a really hot mustard made by the crushed seeds of brassica Juncea, sold in paste or tubes and used in Japanese cuisine)
Beauty: THAT'S STUPID TOO---!!!

90.
Gaou: GUWAAAA, IT'S SOAKING~~~!! IT'S PENETRATING MY BODY~~~!! IT HURTS~~~!! WHAT IS THIS~~~!!!
Gaou: BUT WITH THIS, NO ONE WILL LICK ME!! THEY'LL DIE IF THEY LICK ME
SFX: Hyoi
Namerou: Be.
Gaou: TAO...PAI...PAI.
Bo-bobo: GENERAL BLUE---!!!
(TN: This is a DB reference to a scene where General Blue of the Red Ribbon Army is punished by martial arts master Taopaipai by being killed...with Tao's tongue killing him)
Namerou: YOU SCARECROWS CAN'T USE ANYTHING!! I'LL GIVE THAT AFRO A LICKING!!
Bo-bobo: Oh no!! For the moment, I can only hide in the cleaning box...
Caption: Cleaning items.

Namerou: S**t, what exactly is he? Why isn't he just a scarecrow to me?
Beauty: What's with the scarecrows since earlier?
Bo-bobo: He only sees every person as scarecrows.
Beauty: EH!?
SFX: SHUBA
(TN: Note Don Patch as "Kakashi Hatake" from Naruto in the BG...remember: "kakashi" = "scarecrow")
Bo-bobo: Except me.
Bo-bobo: ATTENDANCE #45: YONONAKA NAMEROU! You've lived while treating with contempt all people in the world until now...that all people are beneath you! Due to this, people aren't seen as people...even if they were humans, you don't recognize them. These thoughts gave to you "scarecrow eyes".
Namerou: WHAT'S WRONG IF I DO? SCARECROWS ARE SCARECROWS, ALL THE SAME!! THERE'S NOTHING TO QUESTION.

93.
Bo-bobo: YOU FOOL!! HUMANS ARE DIFFERENT PERSON TO PERSON!! NOT ONE PERSON IS THE SAME--!! I'LL MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND THAT NOW!!
Girl 1: THAT'S GOOD, BOBOPACHI-SENSEI--!!
Boy 1: BOBOPACHI IS COOL
Boy 2: That's right.
Girl: BOBOPACHI-SENSEI!!
Bo-bobo: Ooh...all of you.

Fish: ......
Students: Hiiii
Fish: Yossha, it's because of this box.
Box: Tissues
Namerou: I'LL SHOW YOU: THE ONE I'VE HELD OFF ON!! BOBOPACHII!!!

Bo-bobo: HUH...WHAT IS THIS!? THE POINTS WE WERE LICKED AT ARE BECOMING SPACE!!
Gaou: Where's the constellation Orion!?
Bo-bobo: WHAT IS THIS!!?

96.
Namerou: You were impacted by the movements of my tongue!! It's just given birth to a microcosm. The points you were licked are becoming space dust and dissappear from this world.
Bo-bobo: Aah...The day I myself become a universe has come...
Gaou: It's mysterious, pretty...and romantic.
Bo-bobo: Let's go, ahead to the universe...
Bo-bobo: And then we'll become one with the universe.
Bo-bobo: For eternity...
Bo-bobo: WE'RE HOME----
Beauty: WHAT ARE BOTH OF YOU!!?

97.
Bo-bobo: KU, THAT WAS DANGEROUS NOW... (to himself) Namerou! His strength already easily surpasses the Kegarimen commander class.
Bo-bobo: !!
Namerou: LEROLERO SHINKEN OUGI: SUKIYAKI-FLAVORED FLASH
Beauty: BO-BOBO, THIS CAN'T BE
Namerou: Bobopachi...do you use a Shinken too? Show me without hiding it.
Don Patch's sign: TO BE CONTINUED

TN: Yeah...it really has been forever hasn't it? I guess with nearly the nine or ten months since the last chapter, I've been really putting it off either through procrastination or other projects. But I think I want to try my best to get much more on the Bo-bobo front once again...think of it as a mini-revival. As for the chapter at hand...well, Namerou...licks people. It's bizarre to see that as a deadly, all stopping battle style but...this is a series with a guy who uses nose-hairs as it's hero. To tell the truth, it was a bit slow getting back into looking up every little detail regarding the cultural references and language puns and peculiarities such, but I do hope to get back into it. Though...I swear the scene with Bo-bobo and Gaou wandering into space was homaging something...I don't know what, it just feels like it was.
