Shintetsu Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo 46

One by one, Bo-bobo has watched his allies be transformed by Chinchiro-Hime into new items for her dice collection. Is there any way to make the bet that will finally make this wild gambling woman go broke!?

Shinsetsu 46: Super-High Rate!! The Soul-Betting Great Gamble!!!!
(TN: This title actually has a silly pun in Japanese that can't be translated: "Super-High Rate" is read here as "Choukoureeto", which is close in pronounciation to the English word "Chocolate")

62.
Chinchiro-Hime: AHHAHHA: HOW DO YOU LIKE MY COLLECTION!
Chinchiro-Hime: NFU---
(TN: Yeah...she's really getting off on it)
Hanpen: THOSE ARE LAMBADA AND JEDA THE WIND GOD!!
Hanpen: YOU----HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO MY CUTE FORMER SUBORDINATES......I CAN'T FORGIVE YOU!! (past Hanpen) Um...
Caption: ALL IGNORING HIM
Beauty: YOUR CUTE SUBORDINATES!!? THAT HOW!? IN THAT IMAGE

63.
Chinchiro-Hime: ALL OF YOU WILL INSTANTLY BE MADE INTO DICE! LIKE YOUR ALLIES OVER THERE!
Tennosuke: TOU!! 30 YEARS OF REAL "MOMOTETSU"!!
(TN: As I mentioned in a previous script, "Momotetsu" is in reference to the board-game like video game series "Momotarou Dentetsu", also known as "Momotetsu", which actually started in 1988...)
Don Patch: LIMITED-EXPRESS CARD
Beauty: HEY---WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!
Chinchiro-Hime: LET'S STEADILY GO! START THE 3RD MATCH! NOW, PLEASE PUT DOWN ON IF IT'S ODD OR EVEN!!
Bo-bobo: KU
Hanpen: IN THAT CASE, WE'LL HAVE...
Hanpen: SON GO......HAN!!! (Piccolo-san)
(TN: Hanpen's newest bet obviously is in reference to Son Gohan from DB, but of course the way he does it is how it's funny, with the infamous "bowl haircut" Gohan has during the Namek arc...and his weird obsession as a kid for Piccolo)
Beauty: CAN'T YOU SAY IT NORMALLY!!?

64.
Tennosuke: THIS DEVELOPMENT IS BAD...
Beauty: EH? (Is there a reason that odd is bad?)
Tennosuke: ALL OF THESE THINGS HAVE BEEN BOUGHT UP.
Display:
MENTAIKO SHOP - PRESIDENT PATCH
MENTAIKO SHOP - PRESIDENT PATCH
HAKATA RAMEN SHOP - PRESIDENT PATCH
CANAL CITY - PRESIDENT PATCH
(TN: Apparantly the game area that Tennosuke and Don Patch were playing in regarding the previous MomoTetsu joke was the area around Fukuoka Prefecture and Hakata due to all of the weird references here:
-Mentaiko: a specialty of Fukuoka, made of marinaded pollock roe
-Hakata Ramen: a specific style of ramen made in Hakata known for using a broth made of pork bones, thinner noodles and simple toppings such as cha-su, scallions, red ginger and sesame seeds
-Canal City: Hakata's main entertainment complex)
SFX: Smirk
Beauty: ARE YOU TALKING OF MOMOTETSU!! (Whatever it is, it's fine)
Bo-bobo: CHINCHIRO-HIME! WE'VE REALIZED A DEATH DICE CAPTURE METHOD.
Chinchiro-Hime: WHAT?
Bo-bobo: THAT'S THE ESSENTIAL POINT OF GAMBLING---
Bo-bobo: IT'S "THE GODDESS OF GAMBLING SMILES ONLY ON THOSE WHO POSSESS A PURE HEART---!!!
Nametags: HANKO | BOBOMI | KOAYO
Caption: PURITY LEVEL INCREASED 80%
Beauty: KYAAAA, THAT'S A CAPTURE METHOD!? IT'S GROSS!!
Bo-bobo: LET'S GO: SHINSETSU HANAGE SHINKEN CHOUOUGI: THE ANGELS WHO CALL OUT FOR VICTORY PURE PRAYER!!! (out loud) MAKE IT ODD, KORAAA; SINK DOWN ON ME! DO IT
Pachidama & Angel 777: GYAAAAA
Beauty: THAT'S NOT PURE AT ALL; THEY'RE MERELY HEINOUS PEOPLE----!!!

65.
Hanpen: A WISH TO GODDESS-SAMA: LET US WIN...
Beauty: THE DEMPSEY ROLL!!?
(TN: The Dempsey Roll is the famous boxing move by fighter Jack Dempsey, notable as heavyweight champion between 1919 to 1926, involving bobbing around and throwing punches like a pendulum. The move was made famous in Japanese culture through various means including through Makunouchi Ippo from the manga "Hajime no Ippo" and variation by Street Fighter character Dudley known as the "Rolling Thunder")
Chinchiro-Hime: AN EVEN 12
Bo-bobo, Hanpen & Gaou: GA---N!!!!
Bo-bobo, Hanpen & Gaou: WE'VE LOST AGAIN...
Beauty: WELL IT SEEMS TO HAVE HAPPENED...
Chinchiro-Hime: WELL PAY WITH A CHIP!
Tennosuke: ME!!
Tennosuke: GYAAAAAA, I'M BECOMING A DIE~~~I'M BECOMING---I'M BECOMING---

66.
Tennosuke: I'M BECOMING PSYCHO-----!!!!
Pachidama & Angel 777: ESPA ROBAAAAAAAA
Beauty: WHERE DID THAT COME FROM!!! THAT'S PSYCHO-SHOCKER JINZO---!!!
(TN: The joke works way better in Japanese than it does in English. In the original Japanese, Tennosuke begins to complain "saikoro ni naru", where "saikoro" is "die". But in actuality, he becomes "Psycho-Shocker" (also known as "Jinzo" in the US release, thus I used both names here), a monster from the original Yu-Gi-Oh manga by Kazuki Takahashi used by psychic dueler Espa Roba. The key to the joke is the "saiko, which goes from "Saikoro" to the "saiko" as in "psycho"...though somehow I made the pun work in a weird way by having Tennosuke yelling that instead of becoming a die, he becomes "psycho"...which can be interpreted either as the "psychotic" type of "psycho" or just the "psycho" that has to do with ESP "psi" powers such as Jinzo's power)
Don Patch: OUT OF THE WAY. I DRAW TWO CARDS---!!!
(TN: I really don't get why Don Patch becomes Yugi here...especially since it wasn't Yugi who originally stopped Psycho-Shocker but Jounouichi/Joey...but considering Yugi is the main character of the franchise, I guess that's the only real explanation)
Don Patch: I SUMMON FUNDAMENTAL ASIAN BENTOU "GAIPATTO GABAO"!!
(TN: "Gaipatto Gabao" is actually food of Thai cuisine, made up of minced meat and vegetables seasoned with basil with a fried egg on top)
Tennosuke: GYAAAAA, HOT AND TASTY---!!
Beauty: ......
Caption: CHANGED INTO A DIE
Beauty: WHAT IS THAT!!? IS THAT A DIE!!?

67.
Bo-bobo: KU, EVEN TENNOSUKE.
Chinchiro-Hime: AHHAHHA: WITH THAT, I HAVE THREE-STRAIGHT VICTORIES. WELL, WHAT WILL YOU DO NEXT?
Bo-bobo: ..................The captives were filth.
Bo-bobo: THE NEXT DEATH DICE RATE WILL BE RAISED TO MAXIMUM! MY BET WILL BE ALL FIVE OF US THAT ARE REMAINING!!! IF WE WIN, THEN THE THREE THAT HAVE BECOME DICE WILL BE RETURNED TO NORMAL!!!
Beauty: BO-BOBO
Don Patch: HEY---!! WHY ARE YOU SELFISHLY BETTING OUR LIVES!!
Don Patch: THE BET WILL BE GIVEN BY BEING DONE WITH JUST RAW EGGS!!!

68.
Chinchiro-Hime: SAIKORO BAKUCHI SHINKEN CHOUOUGI: THE GREAT DEATH-PENALTY STAND OF THE SHINIGAMI KING!!! (out loud) AHHAHHA: DO YOU UNDERSTAND YOUR SITUATION? FINE: I'LL SMASH YOU ALL AT ONCE
Bo-bobo: HANPEN
Hanpen: NU
Caption: Slightly worried
SFX: PIKA--N
Chinchiro-Hime: LET'S BEGIN THIS FINAL DECISIVE GAME!! PLEASE PLACE ON YOUR ODD - EVEN OF DESTINY!
Bo-bobo: UOOOOO----OUR BET IS-----
Bo-bobo: CHOU!!
(TN: I was contemplating on making this "even", which is the final bet, but one of the many readings for "chou" includes the kanji for "bird", thus I kept it as "Chou" to keep with the pattern of all the other bets)
Bo-bobo: IT'S MATCH, CHINCHIRO-HIME
Chinchiro-Hime: What is this now?

69.
Bo-bobo: IT'S A MATCH IN THE APPROXIMATELY ONE-MINUTE TIME WHERE THOSE "DEATH DICE" DICE FALL!! UNTIL THEN, YOU'LL LOSE TO OUR STYLE OF GAMBLING!!
Chinchiro-Hime: YOUR STYLE OF GAMBLING!?
Bo-bobo: HERE WE GO: SHINSETSU HANAGE SHINKEN CHOUOUGI: SUPER-GAMBLE #1! LEGEND OF DISCOVERING THE TOKUGAWA BURIED TREASURE!!!!
(TN: Bo-bobo is making a joke involving the search for the missing or buried treasures of the Tokugawa, a legendary treasure that has been searched for but still remains mostly unaccounted for or even merely a legend without any real basis of existence)
Helmets: SAFETY FIRST
Chinchiro-Hime: THAT'S A HISTORIC GAMBLE THAT CAN BE INVESTED IN AN ENTIRE LIFETIME--!! CAN THAT BE CONCLUDED IN THIS SHORT TIME---!!!

70.
SFX: GAKIN
Bo-bobo: MU!
Box: NOBUNAGA'S BURIED TREASURE
(TN: Oda Nobunaga was the predecessor of Tokugawa Ieyasu and began the unification of Japan)
Bo-bobo: THIS IS STUPID---!! I CAN'T HAVE THAT---!!!
Chinchiro-Hime, Angel 777 *& Pachidama: GUWAAAAAAA--
Beauty: NO NO NO, IT'S A GREAT HISTORICAL DISCOVERY!! (It's Nobunaga's)
Chinchiro-Hime: KU, THAT MOCKING TECHNIQUE...
Bo-bobo: WE'LL GO WITH THE NEXT GAMBLE---!!
Bo-bobo: SHINSETSU HANAGE SHINKEN CHOUOUGI: SUPER GAMBLE: A MATCH OF HITTING GOOD MUSIC IN COVER-BUYING A CD OF WESTERN MUSIC!!!
Beauty: COVER-BUYING A CD!? THAT'S A GAMBLE!!?

71.
Caption: COVER-BUYING: That is buying by relying just on the cover art or picture. Those who open within and see hell are said to be too many to count.
Beauty: A good song is subjective...
Bo-bobo: ALRIGHT! I DECIDE ON THIS
Cover: TAMASHII (SOUL)
Beauty: THAT'S ABSOLUTELY WRONG!!!
Bo-bobob: LISTEN TO THE MUSIC OF THE SOUL----!!
Chinchiro-Hime: GYAAAAAA, IT'S ROTTING MY EARS---
Don Patch: Fu...even the author really cover-bought game cartridges and cried about them.
Games: VOLUNTARY RESTRAINTS
Beauty: .............Whatever it is is fine.
Voice: AH, THE DICE ARE ALREADY FALLING
Angel 777: I'VE GOT THEM! OUGI: SLOTTER WING!!
Angel 777: GUO!!
Gaou: YOU WON'T DO AS SUCH...TIENSHINHAN
Angel 777: TAO PAI-PAI!!?
(TN: A notable factor about Gaou's choice in words: even though he was the brother of his teacher, Tienshinhan did end up fighting and beating cyborg Tao in the 23rd Tenkaichi Budoukai)

72.
Bo-bobo: WE DON'T HAVE TIME: IF IT'S COME TO THIS, THEN WE'RE CONCLUDING WITH MY BEST GAMBLE THAT I THOUGHT UP.
Bo-bobo: LET'S GO: SHINSETSU HANAGE SHINKEN CHOUOUGI: SUPER GAMBLE! RUSSIAN MAYONAISSE!!!! THIS IS A LARGE AMOUNT OF MAYONAISSE! THE ONE WHO DRAWS THE KARASHI MAYONAISSE FIRST WINS---!!!
(TN: "Karashi" is a type of mustard made of the crushed seeds of brassica juncea, also known as Indian Mustard or Cabbage Mustard...and obviously "Russian Mayonaisse" is a variation of "Russian Roulette", the infamous game involving putting a gun to your head until someone finds the bullet...and blows their own brains out to their death)
Chinchiro-Hime: Are they idiots...
Beauty: CAN'T YOU THINK MUCH MORE SERIOUSLY!!!!
Bo-bobo: GROSS-BUBO!!!!
Beauty: KYAA
Don Patch: HEY...THE DICE FROM HERE!?
Chinchiro-Hime: They dug their graves.
Everyone: !!

73.
Chinchiro-Hime: AN ODD 13. WE'VE WON.
Beauty: THAT'S...WE'VE LOST.
Don Patch: ......AAH...
Pachidama: WASSHOI-TAMA
Angel 777: THAT'S THE CONCLUSIVE DICE--!!
Chinchiro-Hime: THAT WAS SILLY! NOW, I SHALL TAKE YOUR SOULS
Bo-bobo: BEFORE YOU DO, LOOK CLOSELY AT THE DIE PLACED ON THE GROUND
Chinchiro-Hime: WHAT!?

74.
Hanpen: OPERATION SUCCESSFUL...
Chinchiro-Hime: !!!
Caption: HANAGE SHINKEN CHOUKYOURYOKU OUGI: MISSION HANPOSSIBLE CAMOFLAGUED DICE OPERATION!
(TN: There is no real joke about this joke: the Japanese literally refers to "Mission Impossible", but with Hanpen meshed in into "Mission Hanpossible". It probably has something to do with the 2006 film sequel of the Tom Cruise franchise...which actually was out in Japan that summer)
Beauty: EEEH----!!? HANPEN WAS CLINGING TO THE DIE--!!!
Hanpen: I CLUNG TO IT IN THE MIDST OF FALLING.
Hanpen: IN OTHER WORDS, THE TRUE NUMBER IS AN EVEN 8.
Hanpen: WE'VE WON. (Because you had appear just a 6)
Bo-bobo: NOW, RETURN POKOMI AND THE OTHERS TO NORMAL.

75.
Chinchiro-Hime: THIS IS...UNBELIEVABLE. ME, LOSING IN GAMBLING, IS...UNBELIEVABLE!!!
Angel 777: THIS IS BAD: SHE'S BECOMING YASHA-HIME
(TN: For once, "Yasha" is used properly considering it is a "female demon"...thus she is going from a "princess/mistress" to "princess demon/mistress demon" or "princess yasha/mistress yasha")
Chinchiro-Hime: NOW FUSE-----!!
Pachidama: WA-TAMA---!!
Chinchiro-Hime: THE NEXT!! NOW WE'LL START THE NEXT. THE GAMBLING CALLED KILLING EACH OTHER---!!!
Caption: SAIKORO BAKUCHI SHINKEN CHOUOUGI: GAMBLING SUPER-FUSION: CHINCHIRO YASHA-HIME!!!

76.
Beauty: ...THAT'S...THEY'VE FUSED AND POWERED UP...
Bo-bobo: IF YOU HAVE THAT SORT OF GAMBLE, THEN HERE'S MY GREAT SPECIALTY
Bo-bobo: SHINSETSU HANAGE SHINKEN MARUHI OUGI---
(TN: "Maruhi" = "Secret" or "Classified")
Bo-bobo: BO-BOBO WORLD!!!!
Chinchiro-Hime: !!!
Creature 1: SHINRA BANCHO
(TN: Shinra Bancho is in reference to a franchise of cards that are tied to chocolate, sort of like the old Bikkuriman Line)
Creature 2's Flags: FUURIN
(TN: Fuurin is the first two words of the mantra from Sengoku Daimyo Takeda Shingen, meaning "Swift Like the Wind; Quiet Like the Forest")

TN: How long has it been...seems like forever since Bo-bobo World was last used...but then again that's for next chapter. Regardless, once again we got another incredible chapter probably highlighting one of the best fights in this series that actually uses all the emotion and humor that the series has...well OK, maybe I'm not a fan of Don Patch randomly having shocked faces instead of doing something strange so you can't say it's perfect but it's as good as we're probably going to get in Shinsetsu. Probably one of the best aspects of the chapter is the strategy which you see Bo-bobo's side setting up but don't quite know how it works...until it's done. The mere fact that we see Hanpen setting up for the big play and seeing him vanish while Bo-bobo forces Chinchiro-Hime into weird gambles before the big reveal shows that the tactic was weird and didn't just randomly come out of nowhere...sure you'd expect it with Bo-bobo but it was clever and it actually kept with the rules of the game: the dice remain in play until they hit the ground, thus Hanpen was allowed to dis-attach his head in order to make the right roll. Though probably the weirdest and toughest part of the chapter...was just how to make that Tennosuke becoming Jinzo joke work without it sounding ridiculous or stupid. I hope it works for all of you...but don't yell at me if it didn't.
