Don Patch & Gaou: GYAA!
Bo-bobo: BABUU...HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO HEPPOKOMARU
Babuu: KYAKYAKYA, HE WASH A FOOL.
Babuu: EVEN HEPPOKOMARU WASN'T MORE THAN A GUINEA PIG AFTER ALL...FOR THE "ZENMETSUGAN".
Bo-bobo: WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
Babuu: THISH SPAGHETTI ACADEMY IS MY "DRUG TESHTING SITE". THE STUDENTS HERE WERE ALL SLAVES AS EXPERIMENTAL BODIES...THEY DIDN'T SURPASS SAMPLES FOR COMPLETING THE "ZENMETSUGAN".
Bo-bobo: !!
Babuu: THANKS TO HEPPOKOMARU, I WAS ABLE TO GATHER THE FINAL DATA FOR THE 2ND FORM OF THE "ZENMETSUGAN'. THE EXPERIMENT WAS A SUCCESS...BEFAWLING MAGNIFICENT RESULTS. I'BE ALWEADY FINISHED USING THIS CHILD.

159.
Bo-bobo: .........What is your purpose?
Don Patch: A DRUG STORE!! HE'S GOING TO OPEN A DRUG STORE
Gaou: AND WITH THOSE CAPSULES, HE'LL CAPTURE DR. MARIO----!!
(TN: "Dr. Mario" is obviously referring to the popular Nintendo puzzle game originally released in 1990, which involves aligning colored pills to remove the threat of viruses)
Babuu: WE'RE NEAR THE COMPWETION OF THE "ZENMETSUGAN" SINCE I'LL BE RETURNING POSSESSING THIS DATA...
Babuu: USING THE "ZENMETSUGAN", THE NEO-MARUHAGE EMPIRE WILL BECOME THE SUPER-STRONGEST ARMY CORP......THIS IS THE NEO-MARUHAGE EMPIRE'S TWUE AMBITION: THE "Z PROJECT"----!!!!

160.
Bo-bobo: THIS ISN'T THE SITUATION FOR YOU TO GO BACK! I WILL ABSOLUTELY DEFEAT YOU HERE AND NOW, BABUU!!
Namerou: THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU.
Bo-bobo: WHAT!?
Namerou: GET AWAY! I'LL BREAK APART THIS SCARECROW. I WANT TO DO THIS; ATTACK HIM LATER.
Bo-bobo: YOU'RE CROWDING ME, CALLUS-BOY. THIS ISN'T YOUR TURN. IT'LL BE BETTER IF YOU DID LOGISTICAL SUPPORT.
Babuu: FELLOW SMALL-FRY, FACE ME AS A DUO.
Bo-bobo & Namerou: HUH?
Beauty: KYA! THAT AMAZING AURA: IT WOULD BE UNBELEIVABLE IF THOSE TWO TEAMED UP...

161.
Bo-bobo: VERY GOOD, THEN---WE'RE GOING TO KILL YOU!! LET'S GO, NAMEROU.
Namerou: WHY ARE WE SETTLING ACCOUNTS; I'LL KILL YOU WHEN YOU LET GO!!
Beauty: KYAAA: THOSE TWO ARE UNBELIEVABLY NO GOOD----!!!
Bo-bobo: HE--Y, I HEARD WHAT YOU SAID---! "GAL CIRCLE""!!
Namerou: GUWAA
Gaou: WAAA, I SHOULD BE CAREFUL OF 9PM SATURDAY DRAMAS!!
(TN: Bo-bobo's attack name and Gaou's comment refer to the 2006 TV Nippon drama "Gyarusaa" or "Gal Circle" which aired on Nippon TV at 9PM between April and June, 2006. The series is strangely about the misadventures of a misplaced cowboy and a circle of female friends in modern day Shibuya as the cowboy attempts to find a certain girl he's been looking for)
Bo-bobo: THIS SHOULD COMMEMORATE IT: SHINSETSU KYOURYOKU OUGI FIRST SHOT...
(TN: As you probably saw in the first Bo-bobo series, most collaboration attacks have the word "kyouryoku" in it, which is Japanese for "cooperation"/"collaboration")
Namerou: FUGAGA...
Bo-bobo: THE RUMORED SEXY BEIGOMA-HIME!!!!
(TN: At this point, I realized that "hime" is sort of a title or a part of an antiquated Japanese name, thus I decided to keep it "hime" instead of translating it into "princess". Second, a "beigoma" is a notable style of Japanese top with a disc on top to increase it's weight. It is the influence for the Beyblade line of toys)
Gaou: WELL---ODAIKAN-SAMA---
(TN: A "daikan" is a type of magistrate/governor during Japan's Edo period)

162.
Namerou: DIEDIEDIE!!!
Bo-bobo: GYAAA
Beauty: THE WORST TEAMWORK
Don Patch: I'LL BE ASSISTING NOW TOO!!! UOOOO

Beauty: GO HOME
Namerou: I'M ENOUGH ALONE!! DON'T GET IN MY WAY---
Babuu: KYAKYAKYA: ITS' GOOD DAT YOU'WRE ENERGETIC

163.
Namerou: Alright! Babuu's eyes are drawn to my tongue. Next! The next I rush in, I'll smash him at once with my strengthened fist!!
Namerou: ...Now! (!!)
Bo-bobo: Pardon me.
Namerou: WHAAAAT-----!!!!?
Namerou: WHAT ARE THEY!!? WHAT HAVE YOU ARBITRARILY DONE TO A PERSON'S TONGUE!!?
Bo-bobo: I decided to be cool, hyu---!
Bo-bobos: Now, let's go finish this!!

169.
Namerou: WICKED TONGUE
Babuu: GUHA!!
Namerou: HAA...HAA...HAA...HAA......!?
Bo-bobo: He...seems to not understand it even himself. What was that now?...What is he?

TN: I know it's important to the plot and what is coming up later, but somehow I'm just getting more and more sick of Namerou. He's just this arrogant brat who seems to be more powerful with each fight and even seems to be more destructive and powerful than even Bo-bobo! Considering how even a child-character like Heppokomaru has just been seen training his butt off and trying to use evil drugs in order reach Bo-bobo's current power, having someone like Namerou toss aside Babuu, who is easily fighting Bo-bobo at this point...I dunno, it just feels like they're trying too hard to make him such an important, crucial character. Compare that to someone like Gaou, who fits in perfectly due to not just his powers but because of his Hajike-nature and his weird, crazy side. But then again...I guess that probably could explain why I'm not really a Namerou fan: he has power but no comedic side. In a series where nearly every character has a comedic or strange side, all he has is...he fights with his tongue...and thinks nearly everyone is a scarecrow. That really isn't anything to make a character in my head I say sadly. I mean, even Heppokomaru, who seems normal himself, does have a lot of comedic moments...sure it took time for him to develop those quirks but it made him work so well in this universe. Namerou's been around just as long and still doesn't have anything like that...yeah it should be a warning but somehow he just doesn't even feel like he belongs in this manga at times. But hey, at least there were still funny moments...like Gaou's top attack and the sports cover.
