Don Patch: But in this era…

50.
Bo-bobo: ARIE—L!!!!
Package: REALLY STRONG CLEANER ARIEL
(Translator’s Note: Alright, this is another weird word pun so pay attention: earlier, when Bo-bobo said “Impossible”, the term he used was “Arienai”, and this was followed up on this page “Ariel”. While initially seeming to be some normal pun, this was an ad campaign for the cleaning agent “Ariel” (owned by the Japanese subsidiary of “Proctor & Gamble”), with the tagline: “Arienai? I~e, Arie—l!”. (or “Impossible? N~o, Arie—l!”)
Don Patch: Hubby, the dirt falls off so well.

Fortuneteller: I CAN’T READ THIS MANY KANJI--!!!!
Beauty: KYAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Fortuneteller: I CAN’T READ THEM!!! I CAN’T READ THEM!!!
SFX: Munch munch
Beauty: SCARY----!!!
Goat: I’ll take what’s left.
Fortuneteller: Ah! Goat-san.

52.
Voices: HA HA HA!! WE’LL BE YOUR OPPONENTS!!!
Stringman: STRINGMAN AND
Paperman: PAPERMAN!!!!
Stringman: Uwaa!!! A strong wind suddenly!!!
Paperman: We’re floating away…
Heppokomaru: ………

Voice: YOU ALL, HURRY UP!!!
N&Ns: HURRY AND BOARD MY SPACESHIP!!!!

Translator's Note: You know Bo-bobo and Don Patch probably could have just entered Hajike Block on their own...being Hajikelists and all. But I think the whole dolphin incident was more about Heppokomaru and Beauty...I mean, neither of them have that much Hajike in them so they had to go through that whole "wear dolphin costumes and bark in hoping we get through the front door." Other than that, there are quite a few memorable weird minor/one-shot minor characters such as that weird fortune teller and...of course N&Ns. And of course next time, things get more interesting...
