(Translator’s Note: Both of the teams Bo-bobo have around him are both parodies of teams that are based in Nagoya. The “Nagoya Granpaso” are a reference to the “Nagoya Granpas”, a Japan League soccer team, while the “Chuunichi Dracons” are in reference to the “Chuunichi Dragons”, a Nippon Baseball League team also based in Nagoya)

(Translator’s Note: “bento” is a Japanese lunchbox)
Narrator: Kappa Bento is an illusionary bento that is made by the bank of a river by kappa once a year. Now, these kappa live off the income from these Kappa Bento.
Narrator: However, Kappa Bento is the only thing they have in their lives.
Narrator: Thus the kappa inevitably die.

SFX: Boing, boing, boing, boing
Don Patch: Lipomitan
Bo-bobo: L
(Translator’s Note: Like the Buanta reference prior, “Lipomitan L” is a parody of another drink name: Lipovitan D, an energy drink created by Taisho Pharmecuticals since the 1960s and said to be the drink adapted in Thailand to become the popular worldwide drink “Red Bull”)

Female Bo-bobo: BOBOBOBOBO BO-BO (Go hunt for meat.)
Bo-bobo: BOBOBO (Alright)
Bo-bobo: BO—(Meat) BO—(Meat)
Bo-bobo: BOBOBO-BOBOBBO (I’m home. I got it)
Female Bo-bobo: BOBOBOBOBBO (Ara, hurry with it.)
Voice: BUT THAT’S NOT MEAT, THAT’S NICK!!!!
Nick: I’m Nick.
(Translator’s Note: Another pun regarding language: “meat” in Japanese has the pronounciation of “niku”, where “Nick” is pronounced “nikku”.)
Song: Bobobo-human Boyatles~~! Bobobo-human Boyatles~~!
Nick: I’m Nick.

Beauty: WAAAAAAAA!!!!!
Bo-bobo: RIKI LARIAT!!!!
(Translator’s Note: “Choushuu” refers to “Riki Choushuu”, born “Mitsuo Yoshida”, who was a notable Korean/Japanese blood wrestler, making his name in the 80s and 90s. The “Riki Lariat” is one of his most well known attacks)
Beauty: BU!!!

MAX: HEE HEE HEE, THIS ISN’T TIME FOR YOUR HUMAN WORRIES!!
Beauty: !!
Beauty: KYAAAAAAAA

37.
Heppokomaru: What are you doing? You.
Beauty: HEKKUN!!
Voice: …boy……Do you want a shonen power…?
(Translator’s Note: The voice uses “shonen” both time, but I translated the second one as “shonen” akin to a “shonen manga series” and the first just referring to Don Patch as a “boy”)
Don Patch: Who’s that?
Voice: If you want power…if you want power…
Pig: I’ll GIVE THIS TO YOU.
Bo-bobo: !
Don Patch: …Pig…you’ll give me power…?

(Translator's Note: Somehow I'm just a tad confused about the selection for the title of this chapter. All I can imagine was that Sawai had such a good time with the weird Balloon Fight homage in the last chapter that he decided to throw in Mario & Gradius/R-Type this time around. Oh...and somehow I swear that caveman bit was a parody of some series but I really don't know what. My only other comment was this: I've realized that most of the footage from this chapter never made it to the anime compared to the previous and following chapters in the equivalent of the anime. Its probably so confusing [then again it's Bo-bobo] that they just left it out. Oh well...at least there's only one more Evil Blood Mansion chapter left)
