Shintetsu Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo 16

Heppokomaru has crossed the threshold of no return, ingesting the power of the Zenmetsugan to achieve victory but with the potential of irreversing harm to himself! Has this horrible decision finally given him the power to topple Bo-bobo?

Shinsetsu 16: Wicked King Heppokomaru

102.
Heppokomaru: UOOOOOO
Gaou: This has become dangerous. Is this animalistic instinct...a warning in the wild...
Gaou: ALL THE HAIRS ON MY BODY ARE DOING A HANDSTAND.
Beauty: THAT'S DOING A HANDSTAND!?
Don Patch: SAME WITH ME. ALL OF THE SPIKES ON MY BODY ARE DOING A HANDSTAND.
Spikes: ONE, TWO, ONE, TWO
Beauty: He-kun...
Bo-bobo: COME. WE'LL GET IT ON UNTIL THE END.

103.
Heppokomaru: UOOOOOOO
Heppokomaru: OOOOOOO
Heppokomaru: OOOOOOOOOOOO
(TN: It's sort of hard to TL them but they're all essentially scenes of Heppokomaru's greatest hits...probably easier to just look them up in the appropriate chapters in Bo-bobo pt. 1. And the little girl...no clue, never saw her before)

104.
Heppokomaru: FU
SFX: DON
Caption: WICKED KING HEPPOKOMARU
(TN: "Wicked King" is "Jaou" in Japanese, compared to "Gaou", this actually is better off being translated since it's a title and not a name)

105.
Beauty: .........
Bo-bobo: KE, THAT ISN'T THAT SIGNIFICANT AT ALL!! IF IT'S COME TO THIS, THEN WE'RE GOING TO USE A SUPER-AUGMENTING DRUG HANDED DOWN BY NOSEHAIR, THE SECRET DRUG "BOOGER BALL"!!
Beauty: WHAT IS THAT? HOW COULD IT HAVE THE WORST NAMING!!
Bo-bobo: PLEASE PARTAKE OF THIS!!!
Don Patch: ME!!?
Don Patch: FUGOOOOO, YUCK, WHAT IS THIS, IT'S EXCESSIVELY-YUCKY. GET ME WATER. SOME WATER OOOOH
Don Patch: OOOOOOOOOOO
(TN: Well compared to Heppokomaru's "memories", Don Patch's are one and only one: when he had that stupid "stern face" way back when Bo-bobo fought Katsu. See chp. 28 of the original for details)

106.
Dog: The flank to the right, diagonally under to the left.
SFX: FU
SFX: DON
Caption: KOROTAN
Don Patch: PI PI
Beauty: EEH, WHAT IS THAT!? HE'S OBVIOUSLY BECOME SHABBY BUT----!!!
Beauty: SO THEN IS THIS REALLY DON PATCH-KUN!? THIS IS ANOTHER THING.
Don Patch: Attack me like there's no tomorrow!
Beauty: HE'S EMBOLDENED WITH JUST HIS WORDS, RIGHT!!!
Voice: We have to evolve "Korotan".
Beauty: Eh?

107.
Bo-bobo: AND SO I'LL INVOKE FURTHER HAJIKE ACTION!!
(TN: Note Bo-bobo as Yugi)
Beauty: WHA!! WHAT IS THAT!?
Heppokomaru: !!
Bo-bobo: REVEALED MY COVERED HAJIKE! "THE REMAINING HOMEWORK OF SUMMER VACATION" AND "QUITE UNDRY DUST CLOTHS"!!
Right Card:
HARD-OF-HEARING
Morning-Glory Observation
Year (?) Class (?)
BO-BOBO
Middle-Right Card:
DIARY

Bo-bobo: INVOKE THE DREAM EFFECT!! THE DUO OF CRIME AND PUNISHMENT WILL SACRIFICE KOROTAN TO SUMMON THE YATSUHASHI HAJIKELIST!!
(TN: "Yatsuhashi" is a confectionary typically of Kyoto, made of rice flour, sugar and cinnamon and eaten either cooked or uncooked)
Gaou: THIS WAS ALL PREPARATION FOR CALLING THE GOD, BOY? THAT IS TRULY NO SUGAR.
(TN: Gaou is supposed to be a parody of YGO villain Pegasus Crawford (Maximillion Pegasus), who is notable not just for being a key villain (though he never was around during the God Card phase of the series) but for his random addition of English words here or there such as "boy" referring to Yugi Muto or Seto Kaiba)
Bo-bobo: DESCEND--SHINSETSU HANAGE SHINKEN CHOUOUGI:

108.
Bo-bobo: PATCHED-PATCH DEATH DIMENSION!!
(TN: "Patched Patch" is in Japanese "Pachipacchi", therefore the translation at this time)
Beauty: AN AMAZING THING BEYOND ANTICIPATION HAS EMERGED FROM RAW MATERIALS WHICH DIDN'T HAVE ANY EXPECTATION AT ALL----!!!
Bo-bobo: DON PATCH FO--RCE
(TN: Obviously in reference to "Thunder Force", an effect ability of Osiris the Sky Dragon, Yugi's primarily used God Card)

109.
Heppokomaru: ERASE IT,
Heppokomaru: BLACK LEAP YEAR!!
Don Patch: Ah, being this sort of thing...GUHE
Beauty: OUR BEAM WAS AN IDIOT----!!!
Bo-bobo: OUR CHOUOUGI LOST! HERE IT COMES---!!
Bo-bobo: THIS IS DANGEROUS, SO WHAT DO WE DO, HEY!?
Don Patch: I DON'T KNOW--YOU THINK OF IT!
Bo-bobo: IS THIS THE SITUATION TO THINK...
Gaou: UWAAA---IT'S COMING----

110.
Beauty: EVERYONE---!! (to herself) Why are you all Benkei?
(TN: Beauty is referring to warrior-monk Saitou Musashibou Benkei, a 12th century figure notable as a strong and loyal warrior who fought with a naganita. His death is notable in that he fought the entire time on a bridge protecting his retainer, Minamoto no Yoshitsune, to the point where his death made his enemies think he was still alive standing still and protecting the bridge just as he had done living)
Bo-bobo: WE WERE CORNERED AS HUMANS AFTER ALL, SO WE BECAME BENKEI...
Don Patch: It's true, it's true.
Gaou: Fufu.
Beauty: Don't be him.

111.
Bo-bobo: Gu...I can't be joking now. It will be dangerous if I take that once more.
Heppokomaru: GUA!!
Heppokomaru: MY BODY SEEMS TO BE TEARING APART...
Heppokomaru: I CAN'T HAVE THIS BODY FOR VERY LONG...I DON'T HAVE RESERVE STRENGTH LEFT...THE NEXT WILL DECIDE IT.

112.
Don Patch: You're soft; shouldn't the world aim for people who can't distribute their stamina?
Beauty: WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?
Bo-bobo: IF IT'S COME TO THIS, THEN I CAN ONLY BRING THIS OUT!!
Beauty: BO-BOBO
Bo-bobo: UOOOOOO, THIS IS MY--
Bo-bobo: SINCERITY----!!!!
Box: To Heppokomaru-kun

113.
Beauty: EEEH----!!!? HE'S PROSTRATING WITH A BOX OF CAKES---!!!!
Bo-bobo: Heppokomaru-san, have one!
Beauty: AND FURTHER IT'S HALF-EATEN INSIDE!! THIS ISN'T SINCERE AT ALL---
Heppokomaru: ANKOKU ONARA SHINKEN SAIDAI OUGI: THE TWELVE MONTHS OF THE CALENDAR!!!!
(TN: There are a few things going on here that need mention, so they'll be done in order:
1. "Ankoku Onara Shinken" = "Fist of Darkness Farts" or "Dark Farts" or "Dark Fist of Farts"
2. "Saidai" = "Greatest" or "Maximum"...and considering the attack, it probably could be...well for Heppokomaru
3. The Japanese name of the attack is "Koyomi Juuni Gekka": "Koyomi" is "Calendar", "Juuni" is "12" and "Gekka" is basically "months" but the kanji used makes it translate as "moonshine". Considering that all of Heppokomaru's attacks up to this point have been based on the Japanese lunar calendar [translated into the English calendar mostly to make it easier though I do wonder if it was the right thing or not now], it probably could work better to be "the 12 shining moons of the calendar" to culminate everything he's done up to now...but considering that it's still essentially "12 months" whether we go by the Japanese or English calendar, I just opted with the more conservative name of merely "12 months")
Beauty: !! A LARGE QUANTITY OF BLACK FARTS ARE BEING CONCENTRATED INTO ONE POINT...WHAT A DENSITY!
Bo-bobo: NO, I CAN'T DEFEND AGAINST THAT!

114.
Bo-bobo: DON PATCH, OUR FINAL MEASURE: WE'LL USE "BO-BOBO FUSION"!!!
Don Patch: EH? WHAT'S THAT?
Explanation:
BO-BOBO FUSION: Bo-bobo Fusion is Bo-bobo's strongest technique, being his ultimate secret! From the fusion of two major powers becoming one person, he can obtain maximum-grade power for just one minute! It's absurdly strong.
Tree: I live...
Bo-bobo: DO YOU REMEMBER---!!
Don Patch: YEEEEES
Don Patch: TRANSFORM: CANDY-CHAN
Bo-bobo: Hurry Don Patch.
Caption: INSIDE BO-BOBO'S BODY
Don Patch: What? Isn't--this pitched dark?
Don Patch: He?

115.
Mini Bobo1: A suspicious guy.
Don Patch: Eeh!? It's me, have you forgotten me? I'm Don Patch!! I came in for a fusion after a year!!
Mini Bobo 2: LIAR
Mini Bobo: If you're genuinely him, then you should solve this.
Don Patch: NO, I ABSOLUTELY---CAN'T SOLVE--THIS!! (Do they hate me?)
Heppokomaru: BOOBOOBOOO
Bo-bobo: CHI, THAT DUMMY HASN'T DONE IT YET!? DO IT QUICKLY.
Don Patch: HEY, IT'S SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS OUTSIDE NOW!! HERE, I'LL DO FUSION FROM LETTING YOU HAVE THIS "DONPATCHI"!!
(TN: I know it seems a bit like the Japanese way of Don Patch, "Don Pacchi" or "Don Patchi", but it's set up to be a parody of Bandai's "Tamagotchi" line, thus why it was set like this)
Mini Bobo: DON'T NEED IT, IT PROJECTS STUPIDITY.
Don Patch: AH, YOU
Mini Bobo: IF YOU'RE THE REAL THING, THEN SHOW US PROOF!! DUMMY
Don Patch: KU~~~THESE MINI-BOBO~~~I'LL INFORM THEM WHAT I'M SAYING EVEN IF BY FORCE...
Don Patch: SUNFLOWER!! N--- SUNFLOWER!!
Don Patch: NOW FOR FUSION!!
Sign: FUSION
Mini Bobo: RIGHT

116.
Heppokomaru: IT'S OVER!!!!
Beauty: THEY WEREN'T IN TIME
Announcer: The 4th batter, player Shinsetsu Bobopatch...

117.
S. Bobopatch: SHINSETSU HANAGE SHINKEN OUGI: THE WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC IS SERIOUSLY EXCITING!!!
(TN: The "World Baseball Classic" is an international baseball tournament first introduced in 2006 (the year of this chapter and around this time), held every three years with the best baseball teams of the world, mostly in the Americas and Asia. The first WBC champion [as well as the second in 2009] was Japan, thus probably showing this excitement)
Heppokomaru: WHAT, HE HIT IT!!
S. Bobopatch: Your opponent is Shinsetsu Bobopatch.

TN: For a crazy series like this, seeing Bo-bobo actually trying to be serious in the midst of Heppokomaru's greatest crisis is just weird. I mean yeah there were a lot of comedy moments, but for the most part they seemed to be tied with Don Patch with Bo-bobo more obsessed with Heppokomaru's safety once he gets all demonic. I still think somehow that the whole bit about "Korotan" is referring to something, even if it's YGO referring...but at this point I don't know outside Don Patch's weird English line. Meanwhile, Bo-bobo Fusion returns in a grand style...but something I don't quite get: I know they want to probably show an increase in power between regular and Shinsetsu...but why the heck did they make Shinsetsu Bobopatch so different from the original? Yeah it's cool but there does feel like a bit of a disconnect aside both using a Don Patch Sword as their trump card. (not to mention this: considering how the other fusions are in Shinsetsu in seeming in some ways more an "evolution" of former fusion forms, Shinsetsu Bobopatch just seems the odd man out) Oh and one more thing...who the heck was that little girl in Heppokomaru's freak-out memory sequence? (yeah...that would be a massive spoiler but...just wanted to get it out there)
