Bo-bobo and Don Patch are trapped inside a TV and aren't speaking to each other, Beauty and Heppokomaru are about to be annihilated by soldiers as powerful as Tennosuke, and Hatenko...well, who knows where he is. But the real question: can things get any worse?

Yeah, I still don’t get what the Kopatch or Pickles are doing there…but remember this is regarding the first year when tons of characters appeared. Usually those popular in the first year go away as more characters come along)

119.
Narrator: Heppokomaru and Beauty face certain death.

120.
Heppokomaru: How’s that!! That’s the flavor of farts!!!!
Chef: At a glance, it seems very rich as I place it. It has a faint scent. The harmony of the smells of jasmine and mint does resemble an elegant river in France…It’s two-stars.
Heppokomaru: TH…THAT’S DUMB…HE’S UNHARMED…
Beauty: What is that guy saying…it’s scary------
Chef: So shall we kill you immediately?
Chefs: DIE--!!!

Don Patch: !!!
Bo-bobo: DON PATCH…THERE’S SOMETHING I’VE KEPT FROM YOU ALL THIS TIME. I’M ACTUALLY A VAMPIRE.

122.
Shou Mei: HE—IS!!? (that’s a big scoop!!!)
Bo-bobo: We vampires are weak against light…
Don Patch: Bo-bobo
Bo-bobo: It’s too late for me…that guy’s light has completely inundated me.
Don Patch: Ha!! No wonder he’s always brought an umbrella on sunny days until now!!!!
Bo-bobo: I REALLY DIDN’T BUT!
Shou Mei: HA HA HA!! WELL, THAT’S FINE BY ME!! AT THIS RATE, YOU’LL DIE--!!!!

Shou Mei: HA HA HA—I’VE DEFEATED BO-BOBO--!!!
Don Patch: YOU CAN’T REALLY BE DEAD--!!! BO—BOBO--!!!!

124.
Shou Mei: A STRANGE MAN APPEARED--!!!!
Don Patch: ………I know who you are…are you Bo-bobo?
Bo-bobo: This is for you. This “Don Patch Keyholder” has helped me to revive.

125.
Bo-bobo: REVIVING MYSELF FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL, I AM THE INCARNATION OF A SHINIGAMI. BOBOBO-BO BO-BOBO DOUBLE TWIN MARK II SECOND.
(Translator’s Note: I’ve stuck with the term “shinigami” [even with the possible grumbles of fans of a bunch of other manga/anime] mostly due to how difficult it is to figure out this interpretation. The technical meaning of the term is “death god”, but of course we have stuff such as Bleach’s “soul reaper” as done by Viz and of course the whole “grim reaper” bit. So to avoid the trouble, I just kept it “shinigami”. Oh, and due to how long Bo-bobo’s “revived name” is, I’m just going to call him Bo-bobo WTMII2nd when he uses that term again)
Shou Mei: SO MANY TWO—S!!!!
Bo-bobo: Shou Mei, I will defeat you and get out of here.
Don Patch: Don Patch RX Version will also lend you a hand.
(Translator’s Note: “Taabo-Kai” is used to differentiate various versions of the same car, similar to a “version” of a certain model)
Shou Mei: Ku ku ku
Shou Mei: YOU TWO ARE STUPID. WHEN YOU DEFEAT ME, YOU WON’T GET OUT. You’re spending the rest of your lives in the TV.
Bo-bobo: Fu

126.
Bo-bobo: NONONONONONONONONONO~~!!!! WE CAN’T GET OUT~~!!!! I WANT TO GET OUT~~~~~!!!!
Don Patch: !!!
Don Patch: BO-BOBO WTMII2nd…HE…CAN’T DO ANYTHING AT ALL…
Don Patch: WHAT’S WITH YOU BO-BOBO. IN TIMES LIKE THESE, YOU USUALLY PULL SOMETHING OUT OF YOUR AFRO!!!!
Don Patch: WH…WHAT’S THIS…THERE’S ONLY FISHCAKE IN HERE……THIS CAN…THIS CAN…
Don Patch: ONLY BE AN ODEN SHOP.

127.
Don Patch: Customer, what do you want?
Man: I’ll have chikuwa and fishcake.
Shou Mei: HA HA HA, AN ODEN SHOP--!!? THAT FITS THE TWO OF YOU!!!!
Bo-bobo: ODE-----N!!!!
Kanji: Faith
Man: UWA, ITS FLOATING!!?
Man: WHAT!!? WHAT’S GOING ON!!?
Man: AH!! I’M COLLIDING WITH MY FISHCAKE--!!!!
Kanji: FAITH

128.
Caption: EQUIPPED: BATTLE ARMOR OF “FAITH”: CHAOS OF ODEN
Caption: KAOSU (CHAOS)
(Translator’s Note: The kanji, which read as “konton”, stands for chaos, while the caption implies that the man's name is "Kaosu". Thus making the pun work)
Don Patch: Fu…You’re wearing the legendary armor that no one has worn, “Chaos of Oden”. I’ve reconsidered you, Bo-boboWTMII2nd.
Bo-bobo: SHOU MEI, YOU’VE LOST.
Shou Mei: YOU’RE KIDDING!!!!

129.
Shou Mei: ORA----!!!!
Kaosu: Gohu
Narrator: Three Days Earlier
Wife: Dear, have you found a new job
Kaosu: Ah, this time I’m going to be “armor”.
Wife: Well, I’ve heard the “armor” industry has a lot of layoffs.
Kaosu: Ha ha ha, wha-t? With my patience, I can’t lose it to a youngster.
Girl: DADDY’S GOING TO BE “ARMOR”? AMAZ—ING!!
Kaosu: TAEKO, YOSHIE…THEY’RE ROOTING FOR ME…
Kaosu: THEY’RE ROOTING FOR ME--!!!!
Kanji: Belief
(Translator’s Note: Like the other kanji, this one can also stand for “faith”, but I differed it a bit by making it “belief”)

130.
Don Patch: That customer has found his “belief”.
Don Patch: Alright! Show me the motions--!!
Kanji: BELIEF
Caption: EQUIPPED: BATTLE ARMOR OF “BELIEF”: STARDUST MOS FIRE
Bo-bobo: So, its started.
Kaosu: The dance lesson of death.
Shou Mei: I…I CAN’T WIN…

131.
Narrator: At that moment, Beauty…
Beauty: …It…It hurts…as it is, I’m crushed…
Chefs: Ku ku ku, Bo-bobo can’t return to this world ever again. By now, the question is how long it will take to squish you to death.
Beauty: ………………S…
Beauty: SAVE ME BIG BRO—THER!!!!
Boy: Did you call me, Jirou?
Jirou: I didn’t call, big brother.

(Translator's Note: Wow. That's all I can say. To tell the truth, this chapter is probably one of my favorites in the entire series due to how packed it is in action and insanity. This is what I call a premiere, top of the game Bo-bobo chapter, with everything from parodies of action genres to shocking, bizarre revelations! Meanwhile, I also admit that Bo-bobo WTMII2nd is probably one of my favorite TF forms, both due to circumstances, powers...and to think it is a develish Bo-bobo in a black afro and white glasses. It probably isn't the greatest transformation ever (those are much further ahead) but it is easily high up there.)
