Don Patch: From here, should we go inside the castle from the front?
Rabbit: Hey—hey—I’ve been hunted even though I’m a rabbit.
Bo-bobo: Aah.
Tennosuke: There may be traps.
Rabbit: Hey, don’t ignore me! Listen to my story!!
Heppokomaru: The enemies this time are at a much different level.
Beauty: But we can’t forgive them for this.
Rabbit: Hey, look look. My ears make me fly.
Bo-bobo: Aah, we will defeat this castle.
Bo-bobo: ALRIGHT, LET’S DO IT!!!
Everyone: OOH!!!!
SFX: PUFF BOOM PUFF BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM PUFF PUFF BOOM

25.
Ruby: YOU’VE COME, BO-BOBO!!
Ruby: I’M RUBY-CHAN--------! IN THE NAME OF THE HEAVENS, I’LL PUNISH YOU------!
(Translator’s Note: Now before you go off and say “this is a Sailor Moon reference”, it is…but it isn’t. The first part of Ruby’s saying is close, with her saying “Ten ni Kawatte”, which is “In the name of the Heavens”, but the second part of her comment is “Anata wo Tenchuu Shichau Desu”, which is “I’ll give you Heaven’s Judgement”. But for simplication, I just did it the “Sailor Moon” way, saying that Ruby’s punishment is in the name of the heavens is easier than saying “I’ll give you Heavens Punishment in the name of the Heavens”…so its close regardless)
Ruby: N------LET’S GO RUBY----LET’S GO----OH----
(Translator’s Note: Like many “cutesy” or “girly” characters, Ruby speaks in third-person)
SFX: Grab
SFX: Throw
Box: Trash
Ruby: WHY DID YOU DO THAT!!!
Bo-bobo: YOUR EXISTANCE DISTURBS ME.

26.
Ruby: MU----I’M REALLY ANGRY AT THAT----!!
Bo-bobo: It hurts~~~This girl hurts~~~~
SFX: Shake shake, wobble wobble
Bo-bobo: Oh well…I’m relieved this is stupid, so let’s move forward.
Ruby: LISTEN TO MY STO—RY.
Pig: Buhi—
Beauty: WHAT IS THIS DOOR!!!? (It’s extremely offensive)
Heppokomaru: Ku…It won’t open!!
Beauty: This is horrific…a horrific drawing…
Ruby: That door can only be opened by Ruby but its fine even if it does open.
Ruby: In truth, I’ve been told to kill all of you, but Ruby really hates fighting…its great that I have people to talk to after a long time.

27.
Ruby: So if you are able to make Ruby much happier, you can go through!!
SFX: Nikorin
Don Patch: How do we do that?
Tennosuke: We have no reason to beat up women or children.
Bo-bobo: We have no choice. Shall we make her happy?
Don Patch: AL—RIGHT! I’LL SHOW YOU THIS SLIDE SHOW!!
Ruby: YA—Y
Slide: RESTRUCTURING STORY

Bo-bobo: OOH, NICE IDEA!! DO IT!!
Don Patch: BABU BABU
Don Patch: NOW PRACTICE.
Bo-bobo: CRUSHER BALL!!
(Translator’s Note: The “Crusher Ball” is an attack from “Dragonball” used by Ginyu Force member Jeice)
Don Patch: GUBA!!!

30.
Ruby: AH--------ALREADY RUBY BORED BORED BORED BORED~~~~!!!!
Don Patch: We get it…we get it!! You’ll quiet down when you get your afternoon snack.
Ruby: SNACK!!
Ruby: WHAT IS IT? WHAT IS IT?
Don Patch: It is. So, I’ll give you a hint.
Don Patch: EAT IT UP, HAPPY HAPPY HI-CHEW~~EAT IT UP, HAPPY HAPPY HI-CHEW~~
(Translator’s Note: “Hi-Chew” is a candy brand known for its soft, white exterior and its interior usually with a fruit flavor. Don Patch is actually reciting a particular Hi-Chew candy campaign that goes “Kucchara Hapi Hapi Hi-Chew”, which essentially is what I translated above)
Ruby: I KNOW, HI-CHEW!! IT’S HI-CHEW!!
Don Patch: Chirimenjako
(Translator’s Note: Chirimenjako are tiny juvinille sardines that are salted and sun-dried)
SFX: WHAM
Don Patch: !!
Bo-bobo: Kuu…It’s all over…
Beauty: Hey—Bo-bobo.
Beauty: I don’t know if this will help you, but when I was a girl, I had fun playing with dolls with friends.

31.
Don Patch: WE DON’T NEED YOUR OPINION!!!!
Beauty: WA!!
Bo-bobo: …Play with dolls...that could win if we test it…
Ruby: A~~U~~
Bo-bobo: Ruby-chan, Ruby-chan.
Bo-bobo: IT’S DADDY.
Beauty: DON’T YOU HAVE A MUCH DIFFERENT DOLL!!!?
Ruby: RUBY ALSO HAS A DOLL. HERE I COME, HERE I COME!
Ruby: RUBY WILL BE THE MOMMY!!
Beauty: That’s fine.
Bo-bobo: I think we hit a good reaction.
Heppokomaru: That’s great.
Don Patch: I’m home, mommy.
Ruby: Welcome home, how did the test go?
Beauty: Don Patch has a doll as well…

32.
Don Patch: I DID BAD.
Package: Karashi
(Translator’s Note: Karashi is a type of mustard with a hot flavor, usually due to being combined with horseradish or wasabi)
Beauty: THAT IS BAD!!!! (He’s a karashi person!!!)
Tennosuke: He—y, I’m home too.
Heppokomaru: !
Tennosuke: No—while halfway home, I was hit by a car and got crushed.
Heppokomaru: THAT SETUP IS POINTLESS!!! (That handkerchief just appeared!!)
Beauty: …That was good…it appears that they are having some fun…
Everyone: Wa—I, Wa—i
Caption: KARASHI
Narrator: And so one hour later
Beauty: …………That’s strange…how long will they be in that playing mood?

33.
Ruby: FUFU…IT’S TOO LATE IF YOU TOO HAVE REALIZED IT NOW.
Beauty: Eh?
Ruby: ALL OF THEM ARE COMPLETELY UNDER MY JUTSU.
Beauty: THAT GIRL’S MOOD HAS CHANGED!!!
Ruby: I AM RUBY, ONE OF THE DEADLY FIVE-NINSHU UNDER OVER-SAMA. My special ability is “BRAINWASHING”. Those who play with me become brainwashed unconsciously.
Beauty: BO-BOBO!!!
Other: WA-I WA-I WA-I WA-I
Ruby: It’s useless. They can’t hear your voice.
Ruby: All of them have been brainwashed flawlessly. To “CONTINUE PLAYING FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES”.
Ruby: If you look at their expressions, you’ll see in a glance their brainwashing.
Beauty: EH!!?
Everyone: DON’T WORRY BEAUTY.

34.
Everyone: WE CAN’T GET BRAINWASHED AT ALL.
SFX: KIRA KIRARIN
Beauty: THEY’VE BEEN BRAINWASHED----!!!!
Beauty: THEN ITS ALL BEEN A PERFORMANCE UNTIL NOW!!
Ruby: YOU WEREN’T DECEIVED!!!
Ruby: Deception is a bad thing.
Bo-bobo: HEY—LET’S PLAY BOMBERMAN!
Beauty: KEEP QUIET FOR A BIT.
Ruby: When they’ve been brainwashed by me, then anyone becomes defenseless. I can kill them easily.
Beauty: You…you can’t

35.
Ruby: Fufu…from here and from there, they’re just plowed over…So it’s a relief to kill these defenseless people…
Ruby: FUFU…WHICH SHOULD I KILL FIRST…
SFX: Cling
Ruby: KYAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
Ruby: WHAT’S THIS!!? HE ISN’T CHANGED AT ALL!!! WHY!? MY JUTSU SHOULD HAVE WORKED ON HIM…
Beauty: OF COURSE!! BECAUSE DON PATCH’S USUAL THOUGHTS ARE “TO CONTINUE PLAYING FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE”, HE WON’T CHANGE WHETHER HE’S BRAINWASHED, NORMAL OR ANY OTHER WAY!!!
Don Patch: YOU F**KING BRAT----YOU’VE DECEIVED ALL OF US!!!
Ruby: KYAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

36.
SFX: Plop
Don Patch: I can’t do bad to you anymore.
Ruby: …………Old man…
Don Patch: STOP ACTING SWEET--------!!!!!
Ruby: HE WAS LY—ING
Beauty: DON PATCH-KUN, YOU’VE DID TOO MUCH!!
Don Patch: Idiot, look well. This is the punishing fist.
Don Patch: You will regret what you did.
Ruby: I WON’T FORGIVE…

37.
Ruby: I’LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!!!!
Beauty: THERE’S TOO MANY BUMPS!!!!
Don Patch: They’re not bumps!!! They’re takoyaki!!!
(Translator’s Note: Takoyaki are octopus dumplings, usually seen and known both as a delicacy of Osaka and their prominence in many manga and anime)
Ruby: I’LL KILL YOU!!!!
Ruby: I CAN’T MOVE…
SFX: Tear…tear…

Translator's Note: I love Ruby. I just had to say that before I said anything further. No I'm not a pedo...its just the whole concept of Bo-bobo's team fighting a little girl and being forced to act like little kids while the little girl prepares to kills them is just such a fun concept! And furthermore Don Patch being the only immune one due to his own way of life is just such a logical means to defeat her...well that and potential child abuse but we won't go there. Considering everything that is coming for the rest of the arc, this chapter could easily be overlooked but I personally love it for both who they fought and just all the insanity that happened because of it. Now that the good part of my notes are complete...its time for a slight gripe. But this gripe isn't against Sawai...its against Toei and the animators who did the episode this chapter is based on. Pay close attention to the very first page of this chapter when the Ninshu are introduced...you'll notice a weird, tentacled creature among them. Outside Dengaku Man, this is probably one of the most bizarre introductory pages in this series. Eventually, Sawai does adapt "his" character design when he fights later and makes him a lot more streamlined. Now when the chapter is animated, you'd expect Toei would use that streamlined design for the introduction as well as for the battle, just like they happily did with Dengaku Man. But guess what: he's the exact same in design during his introduction in the anime as he is in the manga! All the weird, large distortions are kept and Toei doesn't fix it to the obvious design! You really have to wonder what was going through the animator's minds, particularly since they didn't change it. Anyway...I just had to get it out there because I never liked that minor anime screwup.
