Shintetsu Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo 49

Having survived a nightmare of "Babylon" (or poop, depends on who you ask), Usui is now forced to face the wrath of Softon and the rest of Team Bo-bobo! Can the Hajike fighters take on the full power of a true ninja master?

Shinsetsu 49: The Awakened Super-Warrior!!

114.
Usui: You dummies! You carelessly entered into this Black Hattori Castle; all of you have been collected here and have decided to die!!
Usui: GO: NINJA-ARMS WEAPONLY WEAPONS GREAT SHINOBI ENGAGEMENT STAGE!!!!
(TN: This was a tough state to translate it's name for, mostly due to the usage of an onomotopeia here of "bukibuki" which really has no real meaning. I ended up using "weaponly weapons" mostly due to how many weapons that are just offered in Usui's arms)
Bo-bobo: A LARGE QUANTITY OF WEAPONS HAVE APPEARED!!
Usui: IT'S A FIELD WHERE WE MATCH TO KILL EACH OTHER BY USING THESE NINJA ARMS AS YOU PLEASE---
Usui: NOW SHOW YOURSELVES, MY STRONGEST NINJAS!!
Voices: YES
Beauty: NEW ENEMIES!?

115.
Usui: FROM HERE IS THE ACTUAL PERFORMANCE. LET'S GO WITH OUR GREAT NINJA WAR SANGARIA, ALRIGHT!!
Right Caption: Neo Kita-Ward Guard: DRAGON KNIGHT ARISTOAL
Left Caption: Special Guest: SHIROTA MASAKAGE
(TN: For those who know who he is, you know what he's up to. But for those who don't: Shirota Masakage is literally a guest star from another manga: former Bo-bobo assistant Yuusei Matsui's horror-mystery story "Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro", which ran from 2005 to 2009. He appeared in one of the early cases of the series as a master chef who was creating dishes combining food with various drugs to induce greater "flavor", ultimately mutating into a muscle-bound freak after injecting himself with his ultimate meal: Doping Consomme Soup. However, Neuro reduced him to a shriveled up man after solving the mystery, which likewise stole away all of the power of the drugs injected in him...though what he's doing in Bo-bobo is anyone's guess aside from a mere cameo)
Shirota: DOPING CONSOMME SOUP
Beauty: THEY'RE NOT NINJAS AT ALL----! THEY'VE BECOME AN UNBELIEVABLE THREE-MAN TEAM
Usui: FURTHER, THIS TIME WE PARTICULARLY HAVE NOUGAMI NEURO'S SHIROTA PARTICIPATING IN THE BATTLE AS A POWERFUL SUPPORTER.
Shirota: EAT IT~~EAT IT BECAUSE IT'S GOOD--
Usui: THIS IS THE END OF ALL OF YOU (Gulp)
Beauty: IS HE REALLY YOUR ALLY!!? HE'S IMMEDIATELY ACCOMPANYING YOU BUT
Caption Box: DOESN'T CONCERN ME
Tennosuke: THE DRAGON KNIGHT FLEW OFF!!
Don Patch: EXCELLENT! IF IT'S COME TO THIS, THEN WE'LL BE THE THREE GOING
Usui: !

116.
Bo-bobo: LET'S OPEN THE CURTAIN TO A TRANSCENDING NINJUTSU BATTLE THAT TAKES IN SHINKEN!!
Bo-bobo's Head Cover: BOTTORI
(TN: Another reference to "Hattori", this time with Bo-bobo's version)
Beauty: KYAAAAAA, WE'VE GOT OUR STRONGEST MEMBERS
Don Patch: CRUMPLE CRUMPLE
Don Patch's Outfit: NINDOU
Don Patch: CALL ME NINJA-SAMA! CALL ME NINJA-SAMA!
Usui: LET'S GO AT ONCE---

117.
Usui: DORORON NINJA SHINKEN CHOUOUGI: DISORDERLY KUNAI: KARAIDAN!!!!
(TN: I'm sort of torn on whether or not to translate the ninja techniques, but considering this one really has no meanings outside itself, I'll be keeping it in Japanese. BTW: "Karaidan" = "Flower-Thunder Bullets")
Don Patch: OH NO! I HAVE TO RETURN FIRE WITH NINJA-ARMS TOO...
Don Patch: BUT THERE'S ONLY COLD COMPRESS SHEETS!!!
Sign: Cold Compress Sheets
(TN: I had a hard time finding what Don Patch actually found: the closest I got was "Cold Compress Sheets" due to the whole feel of it, which in Japanese was "Hie Pittan Sheet")
Voice: CALM DOWN! WE HAVE A HANDY NINJA-ARM.
Don Patch: Eh? Where, where?
Bo-bobo: SHINSETSU HANAGE SHINKEN KIHON OUGI: DUMMY GUARD!!
(TN: "Kihon" = "Fundamental")
Softon: ...
Don Patch: GYOBEBEEAAA, ME-----!!! (You're--an accomplist too, poop?)
Don Patch: HEY YOU, TRYING TO KILL ME?
Jug: GASOLINE
Bo-bobo: LET'S GO, SOFTON---

118.
Softon: BABYLON (to himself) ...
Don Patch: POOP, YOUUUU
Bo-bobo: SHINSETSU HANAGE SHINKEN KYOURYOKU OUGI: CRACKLING GREAT-FLAME SHURIKEN!!!
Usui: GUWAAAAA---HE'S A SHURIKEN!!!
Shirota: ALRIGHT, NOW YOU'LL EAT MY DOPED COOKING AND RECOVER YOUR PHYSICAL STRENGTH.
Usui: CAN I EAT YOUR COOKING WITH IT BEING DANGEROUS!!
Bo-bobo: AN OPENING
Usui: A NINJA DOG!?
Bo-bobo: LEFT LEFT JAB HOOK HIGH 1 - 2!!
Usui: GUBA GABA
Beauty: THE LEGENDARY "HOLYFIELD BOXING"!!?
(TN: While obviously Beauty is referring to legendary heavyweight boxing champion Evander Holyfield, the line here seems like it's referring to the Sega video game"Evander Holyfield Real Deal Boxing", released in 1992 for the Sega Genesis and involving the creation of a character to take on 28 imaginary foes before taking on champ Holyfield himself...sort of akin to "Mike Tyson's Punch Out")

119.
Don Patch: YOSSHA--HOLD ON, I'LL CONTINUE THIS. SOME GOOD WEAPON, SOME GOOD WEAPON---
(TN: Note the PS2 and the Sega Saturn)
Don Patch: N? D - C - S?
Shirota: DOPING CONSOMME SOUP!!!
Don Patch: UOWAAA: SHIROTA'S APPEARED---!!!
Don Patch: EXCELLENT!! I KNOW WELL ABOUT YOU HAVING READ "NEURO". YOU CAN'T WIN AND AREN'T MY MATCH! I'LL FULLY TEACH YOU THE INTENSITY OF THE BO-BOBO WORLD!! COME AT ME!!!
Shirota: SHIROTA SHIROTA SHIROTA SHIROTA SHIROTA SHIROTA SHIROTA
Shirota: D - C - S SHINKEN CHOUOUGI: FOOD "PREY" THOUSAND-YEAR EMPIRE OF MEALS!!!!
(TN: D - C - S is obviously "Doping Consomme Soup")
Caption: D - C - S TANTEI NOUGAMI SHIROTA
(TN: The title caption here is a parody of the one for "Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro", here standing for "D - C - S DETECTIVE BRAIN-EATER SHIROTA")
Bo-bobo & Don Patch: GYAAAAAAA, IT'S EXCESSIVELY STROOONG----!!
Beauty: HE'S ARBITRARILY STARTED USING AN AMAZING SHINKEN----!! (Even Matsui-sensei woudn't think of doing it this far---!!)

120.
Bo-bobo & Don Patch: SOFTON, DO SOMETHING
Softon: ...So then shall I borrow this rope?
Softon: SECRET ART OF BABYLON HANDED DOWN FROM ANTIQUITY
Softon: BABYLON SHINKEN CHOUOUGI: A PRESENT FROM ETHIOPIA!!!!
Shirota: GYAAAAA, MY COOKING IS THE GREATEST AND THE ULTIMAAATE
Don Patch: HE'S WINDING AND SWIRLING THEM IN SWIRLED S**T--!! THE WORST!! THIS IS THE WORST OUGI----!!!

121.
Tennosuke: IT'S TRULY THE "DEVIL POOP TOMBOY"!!! IT'S AMAZING!!!
(TN: The "Devil Poop Tomboy" is a parody of the "Devil Tomboy" move from Kinnikuman by Seven Devils member Springman...which for some reason is just him wrapping his body around another body, strangling an opponent)
Hatenko: GUWAAA, LET GO YOU F**KING TOKOROTEN
Beauty: KYAAAAA, HATENKO-SAN
Usui: HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO USUI, S**T
Usui: TAKE A SWORD!! WE'LL CLEAR UP BLACK-AND-WHITE WHICH OF US IS HIGHER IN STATUS.
Bo-bobo: AS YOU WISH
Usui: LET'S GO: HIGHEST TREASURE: SECRET DRAGON-GOD KING SWORD: YOUTOU "MAKIZANBA"!!!!
(TN: Two things:
-"Youtou" = "Calamity Sword"
-"Makizanba" = "Coiling-Murder Blade")
Bo-bobo: IN THAT CASE I HAVE THIS MORNING'S BEST WHOLESALE OF TSUKIJI...REITOU "AKISANMA"!!!!
(TN: Two things:
-While its supposed to be a sword or give the impression of "Ghost Sword" with the reading, "Reitou" here is "Frozen" or "Refrigerated"
-"Akisanma" = "Autumn Saury")

122.
Usui: DORORON NINJA SHINKEN CHOUOUGI: LIGHTNING SLASH!!!!
(TN: Usui's attack is actually in Japanese "Raitouzan", but this was easy to translate so just kept it as is translated)
Bo-bobo: SHINSETSU HANAGE SHINKEN CHOUOUGI: DAIKON WHOLESALE IS HUMBLE!!!!
Don Patch: UHI
Usui: OFFSETTING!!
Bo-bobo: USUI, THIS IS THE END WITH THIS---
Usui: DAMN, IT'S NITOURYUU...
(TN: "Nitouryuu" = "Two-Sword Style")
Usui: A NINTE*DO DS LITE!!?
(TN: The "Nintendo DS Lite" was originally released in 2006 and was a really popular present around the holidays when this chapter was released)

123.
Bo-bobo: SHINSETSU HANAGE SHINKEN CHOUOUGI: JUMP ULTIMATE STARS BO-BOBO STRONGEST DREAM DECK DEMON COMBO S!!!
(TN: As I mentioned back in chp. 23, 2006 was the year that the sequel to "Jump Super Stars", known as "Jump Ultimate Stars", was released on the Nintendo DS. As you'll see here, this game had quite a bit of Bo-bobo representation, with Bo-bobo and Don Patch playable and various assists/transformations involving characters such as Heppokomaru, Bobopatchnosuke, and Denbo...though sadly, one of these characters in this page is getting their only "apperance" in Bo-bobo in this one panel...I won't spoil which for those wondering, you'll just have to wait and see, then regret that character being missing)
Usui: GUGYAAAAAAAA!!!
Beauty: THE SUPER-GLORIOUS MEMBERS ARE FULL OF ACTIVITY!!
Tennosuke: FU, I HAD A SUITABLY GOOD MATCH.
Beauty: WHAT IS THAT!? IT'S GLOOMY
(TN: In Jump Super/Ultimate Stars, the "deck" in the game usually involves notable panels for each playable character that can be touched to make the moves active...though none of them involve "weird-face Don Patch from the Heppokomaru/Katsu fight")
Usui: KU...DRAGON-KNIGHT ARISTOAL, I ASK FOR YOUR BACKING!
Aristoal: LEAVE THIS TO ME
Aristoal: HA
Caption: Fight
Usui: DO YOU REALLY HAVE THE WILL TO FIGHT?

124.
Usui: IT CAN'T BE: I'M COMING TO USE MY FINAL SUPER-SECRET ART ON THESE A**HOLES: KAININ!!
(TN: "Kainin" = "Release The Secret")
Usui: KING OF THE BEASTS - GIANT APPARITION JUTSU!!!
Bo-bobo: UWAAAA: IT'S EXTREMELY HUGE---!!!
Usui: DORORON NINJA SHINKEN CHOUOUGI: ENFUURAIGOU SUPER-NINJUTSU!!!!
(TN: "Enfuuraigou Super-Ninjutsu" or "Enfuuraigou no Chouninjutsu" = "Super-Ninjutsu of Flames, Wind and Lightning Karma")
Bo-bobo, Don Patch & Softon: GUWAAAAAAAA

125.
Usui: HEHEHE.........I'VE USED EVEN THIS FORBIDDEN ART. I'M FULLY TAKING THIS RESPONSIBILITY~~~
Don Patch: He did that?
Softon: What an art...it's destructive power isn't incomplete.
Bo-bobo: KU
Beauty: EVERYONE
Bo-bobo: IF IT'S COME TO THIS, THEN WE CAN ONLY USE BO-BOBO FUSION
Bo-bobo: COME, DON PATCH!!
Don Patch: OK
Caption: INSIDE BO-BOBO
Don Patch: Here we go.
"Mini-Bo-bobos": WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU, DON PATCH-SAN. THE FUSION PREPARATIONS ARE COMPLETE!!!
Don Patch: .........Huh? These kids are awfully obedient this time.
Don Patch: OH WELL! FUSION ON
Sign: FUSION
Bo-bobo: HERE IT COMES-----DYE IT UUUUUUP

126.
Patchbobo: FUSION COMPLETE: PATCHBOBO!!!
Beauty: THOSE TWO---THEY DID IT!!
Tennosuke: THE INVINCIBLE VIOLENTLY-STRONG WARRIOR PATCHBOBO!
Usui: THE BO-BOBO FUSION GUY...IT'S USELESS! THAT DATA I'VE RECEIVED FROM BABUU
Patchbobo: MATERIAL HAJIKE FUSION (out loud) HOW'S THIS? (attack) OKRA, RAW SOBA, RED TURNIP, SHIJIMI, LOTUS ROOT, AND ALL OTHER THINGS
(TN: "Shijimi", also known as the "shijimi clam", is a clam of the Corbiculidae Family, also known as the "Basket Clam". This family of clams also includes "Corbicula Fluminea", also known as the "Asiatic Clam", which is an infamous invasive species in North America and Europe)

127.
Patchbobo: EN MASSE
Usui: DUMMY, THIS EXTENT IS USELESS, USELESS, USELESS, USELESS, USELESS, USELESS
Beauty: KYAAAAA
"Mini-Bo-bobos": HE'S DEFENDING IT.
Don Patch: N, WHAT'S THIS BUTTON?
Don Patch: HOW ABOUT I PRESS IT?
Caption: JUMP INTO TURBO
Patchbobo: YOU CAN'T! CEASE THIS STUPIDITY...DON PATCH!! THIS ISN'T THE TIME TO USE THAT POWER YET
SFX: CLICK
Patchbobo: UOOOOO

128.-129.
"Super-Saiyan Patchbobo?": YOU F**KER DON PATCH----!!!!!

TN: I have a huge theory honestly about the end of this chapter and the appearance of...well, that weird SSJ3-influenced fighter, but I'll leave that for next time. For the most part, this chapter further shows the comedic brilliance that seems to exist with Usui, especially considering not just he's powerful, but just a perfect Tsukkomi...and works with a coward and a borrowed character from Nougami Neuro. (I've been meaning to read Neuro for the longest time...and may need to do more after looking over the Doping Consomme Soup case tied to Shirota's appearance this time...but I say that's mostly Sawai congratulating Matsui for a job well done in his own series having had his humble starts being an assistant on Bo-bobo) Whereas the Chinchiro-Hime fight was more hilarity based on a set of rules, this was all out insane ninja antics...so much of so that I started falling into my Otokojuku-translating ways of "leaving the attacks in Japanese due to how hard they are to make out in English". But then again...maybe it's just reading so much Naruto and seeing how the ninja attacks are left there, I really don't know. Oh and one last aside: I never got the name of "Devil Tomboy"...I mean, Springman isn't a female, so how can he call it a "tomboy" attack!? (yeah..never mind, wrong series...again...but then with a Neuro character this time, all the Babylon last time and...well, the next chapter, anything goes with this fight)
