Bobobo-bo bo-bobo 67

The time has finally come: with Hair Hunt blocks falling, a new path will open which Bo-bobo and his team will face their greatest challenges yet! (if Bo-bobo and Don Patch can discover what it is first)

Ougi 67: Opening of the Fierce Battle

23.
4th: S**T!!! THAT BO-BOBO!! HE’S CRUSHED Z-BLOCK, THE STRONGEST BASE OF THE HAIR HUNTERS!!! WELL THEN, ISN’T HE RUNNING CIRCLES AROUND THE PRIDE OF THE MARUHAGE EMPIRE!!!
SFX: Suck, suck
4th: IF THAT’S HOW HE WANTS IT, THEN OPEN UP HAJIKE BLOCK IMMEDIATELY!!!
Narrator: The Maruhage Empire has a legendary base which gathers within only Hajikelists. The full story of it now comes into light…but before they arrive in front of the largest and most evil base of the Hair Hunters, how will Bo-bobo’s team reach this destiny!!

24.
Narrator: At that moment, Bo-bobo and Don Patch had gone to buy food.

Bears: YES!! YES!! YES!!
Sign: Gasolina Station
Don Patch: OK—The Gasoline Stand will give us an energy charge for Japan!!!
Bear: YES SIR!!!
Attendant: Welcome!
Don Patch: TWO TANKS. FILL THEM UP.
(Translator’s Note: The whole sequence has been a weird dialogue joke: Don Patch had seemed to be saying “Nippon” as if he was talking about Japan, but at the same time the way he said “Nippon” here meant that he wanted to fill up “two gas tanks”)
Narrator: This was the first time for this gas stand, since this encounter, that they had an encounter like them--!!!!

26.
Attendant: Where’s the car? Is that the car?
Bo-bobo: Vroom, vroom
Attendant: A CAR--!!!!

27.
Bear: COME OVER HERE--!!!!!
Attendant: HERE’S TWO TANKS (Namusan)
(Translator’s Note: The attendant has started a Buddhist prayer with that comment of “Namusan”, as if he doesn’t know if this is going to work)
Bear: BOHA!!!!!
Bear: Ku
SFX: Plunk
Attendant: He’s doing it again!!

28.
Bear: BAHAMA!!!!!

Don Patch: Wha!! You mean…
Hatenko: Of course. It’s mating season…
SFX: Flap flap flap flap

31.
Beauty & Heppokomaru: A BUNCH OF HATENKO’S HAVE COME--!!!!
Hatenko: The Hatenko’s head south all at the same time in the summer in order to lay our eggs in the warm earth. I too am a Hatenko, so I can only obey my nature…
Don Patch: It’s already that season…
Beauty: WHAT DOES THIS MEAN!? IT’S BIZARRE!! HATENKO-SAN, YOU’RE NOT A BIRD, SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO THIS!!!
Hatenko: Tweet, tweet
Beauty: HE SAID TWEET-TWEET--!!!!
(Translator’s Note: “piyopiyo” is the sound of a bird, but I decided to just make it the English version of “tweet-tweet”)
Hatenko: See ya, Bo-bobo! I’ll return in the winter.
Bo-bobo: Ah…be well.
Hatenko: Tweet, tweet
Don Patch: STAY WELL--!!!
Heppokomaru: N!

Heppokomaru: ONE’S WEARING HUGE SUNGLASSES--!!!!
Heppokomaru: What the heck is he? Is he another Hatenko? Is this a transformation? Is this a transformed Hatenko?
SFX: Pururun Pururun
Hiroshi: Hello, this is Hiroshi.
Heppokomaru: HE’S NO--T HATENKO!!!!
Hiroshi: GUBA!!!!
Don Patch: TONIGHT’S DINNER IS HATENKO.
Hiroshi: BULLETPROOF VEST!!!!

33.
Don Patch: Hey you---you’re not Hatenko—huh? What are you?
Hiroshi: I want to eat kis-ce cream…I want to eat kis-ce cream…
(Translator’s Note: The way Hiroshi is saying “ice cream” is not “Aisu kuriimu” like it is typically translated but “aichu kuriimu”, combining “ice cream” with the “chuu” for kiss. Thus I tried my best to keep the joke)
Hiroshi: Kis-ce cream. Kis-ce cream.
Hiroshi: Nee~~~~Kis-ce cre~~am~Kis-ce cre~~am~
Don Patch: DON’T TOUCH ME.
Bo-bobo: Here’s some ice cream.
Don Patch: KI…KI…KI…KIS-CE CRE----AM!!!!

Hiroshi: TEACHER!!! I’M NOT TARDY ANYMORE!!!

Bo-bobo: THAT’S A HAJIKE BLOCK BADGE!!!!
Bo-bobo: I have heard of the Legendary Hajike Block where only Hajikelists gather…It can’t be…does it truly exist…
Bo-bobo: Actually, Don Patch and I are the only Hajikelists, so can we win...
Don Patch: LET’S HAJIKE~~~~
Bo-bobo: IF HE IS THERE, I WILL WIN!!!
SFX: Slip

Translator's Note: Let me get this off my chest first: GOOD RIDDANCE, HATENKO! With his departure, Hatenko has finally removed his importance in the storyline...yeah he reveals something in a bit, rejoins the group later and is key to something much, much later but compared to the last set of chapters (well OK, mostly the stuff prior to Z-Block), we don't have to put up with his obsessive, "Oyabin" bit chapter after chapter! OK...with that out of the way, its sort of amazing how one chapter can begin to change everything. Prior to this chapter, Bo-bobo was pretty much taken from chapter to chapter with no real foreshadowing or mystery or connections. But starting from here, close to a year and a half since the series began, the series really begins to rack up both the tension, the mystery...and a lot more gags and insanity. While Bo-bobo seems to be preparing for an encounter with "him" (we'll know who in a couple more chapters), another thread will also be introduced that will start preparing us for the arc after this! You can sort of see now that while Sawai has already mastered both the action and the gags of earlier, he is about to reach the top of his game with what's coming next. (OK, a bit of this is hype and I doubt I can back some of it up but I like some of what's coming)
