Shinsetsu 15: Bo-bobo vs. Awakened Heppokomaru


79.
Bo-bobo: This is sudden, but this manga "Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo", which is reaching it's 5th anniversary and rushed into it's 2nd part, will change to a new title from this week.
Gaou: WHAT'S THE NEW TITLE!?
Serviceman: IT'S THIS!!!!
Under Serviceman's Cloak: SHINSETSU BOBOBO-BO BO-BOBO
Beauty: KYAAAAAAAA
Don Patch: WE'VE REACHED A TRUE-THEORY ABOUT PT. 2--!!!
Beauty: Since we'll be Hajike-ing even greater than we have until now, give our regards from here on as well.
*In truth, until this chapter was the old Bo-bobo title when this appeared in Jump magazine. They didn't say "Is this suitably past when I can change it part-way?"
(TN: This page, as the star suggests, is the first appearance of the actual "Shinsetsu" title associated with Bo-bobo pt. 2. Thus it had to be announced on Bo-bobo's 5th anniversary. Oh...and of course note how Don Patch states they've "reached a true-theory")

80.-81.
(Title page...well it's time to celebrate 5 years of Bo-bobo...if it weren't for the fact Bo-bobo is fighting an old ally and He-kun has just become even more evil than he usually is)

Heppokomaru: SUCH A BEAMING FEELING...KUKU
Bo-bobo: BLACK FARTS!!? HE CHANGED......BY TAKING A CAPSULE!!

Don Patch: PINKY!!!
Beauty: EH? DON PATCH-KUN TOO!?

84.
Don Patch: SUCH A BEAMING FEELING...KUKU
Beauty: HE'S CHA...NO, HE HASN'T CHANGED!!! HE'S ONLY JUST EATING PINKY THERE. (Misleading)
Heppokomaru: Let me tell you...the capsule that I've taken now is Neo-Maruhage's super-limited augmentation drug: "Zenmetsugan". It's a secret medicine that dissolves the good hearts that are within the soul and completely open up an evil heart...IT AWAKENS EVIL INSTINCT, INVOKING TRUE POWER.
(TN: "Zenmetsugan" = "Virtue-Destroying Pill")
Small Mass in Diagram: JUSTICE
Large Mass in Diagram: EVIL
Beauty: THIS MEDICINE IS ALREADY DETESTABLE...HE-KUN HAS BECOME NOT HE-KUN!!
Gaou: Hand over the Pinky~~
Don Patch: It's my 3 o'clock snack~~
Bo-bobo: CALM DOWN, BEAUTY...THE EFFECT OF THIS MEDICINE IS TEMPORARY. I'LL DEFEAT HIM AND HE'LL RETURN TO NORMAL!

Don Patch: CEASE THIS FOOLISH GREETING, HEPPA. IF THERE WAS A DRAGONBALL ON HIS HEAD, THERE GOES ETERNAL LIFE.
(TN: Obviously Don Patch has transformed into Vegeta...and is referring Heppokomaru as Nappa)
Bo-bobo: That dummy~~~I don't have power without my afro~~~Gra~~ndpa Patch....

Gaou: AAH! IT'S THAT TIME ALREADY...12 PM!! MASTER BO'S LUNCH-PROVIDING TIME!!
(TN: "Lunch-providing", or in Japanese "kyuushoku", is the typical school habit where a student goes down to pick up lunch for the entire class during lunchtime, usually getting a bucket from the lunchroom to take up to the homeroom)
Bo-bobo: I'M ON LUNCH-PROVIDING DUTY---!!!
Heppokomaru: UWA...WHAT!?
Bo-bobo: TARGET LOCK-ON!!
Bo-bobo: BIG SIDE-DISH DROP
(TN: "Side-dish" is in Japanese "okazu", which more is used for a meal which is placed on top of rice as an accompaniment of a meal, usually something like a stew or curry)
Heppokomaru: GUWAAAAAA
Don Patch: IT'S HOOOOT---
Gaou: 12 PM...EVERYONE ON LUNCH-PROVIDING DUTY BECOME SILVER-WING HAWKS WHO RUN THROUGH THE CREVICE OF THE LIGHT AND THE WIND.

Bo-bobo: IF IT'S COME TO THIS, THEN WE CAN ONLY GO WITH OUR GREATEST BATTLE POTENTIAL. WE'LL USE THAT "NEW TACTIC"!!
Don Patch: THAT'S ALREADY OUT.
Bo-bobo: LET'S GO: SHINSETSU HANAGE SHINKEN CHOUOUGI...

92.
Bo-bobo: A - D - H - B (Active Dimension Hanage Battle)---!!!!!
(TN: "Active Dimension Hanage Battle" is in reference to the "Active Dimension Battle" system used by Square-Enix in 2006's "Final Fantasy XII", which was released around the time of this Bo-bobo chapter in Japan in March, 2006. At the time it was considered an evolution to the classic "Active Time Battle" used in FFIV to X)

Bo-bobo: STOP THAT.
SFX: GULP
Heppokomaru: OUUUUUU, BOO--BOBO---

TN: Do I really need to repeat my lesson from last time? If you take drugs, even if they're enhancing, they're bound to make you all evil...and slowly fall apart and decay to death but that's a different matter altogether. I get why Heppokomaru really wants to prove he's better than Bo-bobo, but sometimes I think that the measures of doing so don't mesh up to his intention. We know that he's in there for a reason, yet he gleefully accept "evil-enhancing, good-destroying" drugs just because someone says "they can stop Bo-bobo and make you more powerful than him"...either he needs to accept his limits or find another way. I do have one slight complaint about this chapter...but it is slight: why did they gleefully decide to do a FFXII reference there with the battle system? I mean, don't they realize that by going with a video game that was new (instead of, say, a video game that had been out for a while...like older Final Fantasies), they'd be dating themselves ultimately? While I don't mind personally looking up dated references (it makes my manga reference hunt more interesting), gleefully doing that makes it seem like...other series that shall not be mentioned. (but hey, regardless of the FF reference that they could have had, as long as they kept Gaou as that summon it would have been good) But enough about that...we have to deal with worse things next time...like Heppokomaru becoming even more evil than he was this chapter!
