Shintetsu Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo 52

Getting past the last of the Black Gambling Cavalry won't be easy, considering Gura-san can turn Shinken power into ultimate evil judgement! But while Don Patch may be the first to face him, his partners are going to be...interesting.

Hanpen: I WANTED A PLAYSTATION III!
(TN: The Playstation III was a major draw for Christmas, 2006 around when this chapter was published...even if it was "$599 US Dollars")
Beauty: UNAWARINGLY YOU FORMED THAT CORP THAT CAN'T DO ANYTHING!!?
Bo-bobo: SHINSETSU HANAGE SHINKEN OUGI: HAVE A MERRY S**TMAS AND GO TO SLEEP.
(TN: I know it probably is a disgusting thought but Bo-bobo literally says "Merii Kuso Shite Nemasu"; I tried to make it work...and that's how it did, even though the "kuso" is probably meant to be "kuri", which a "shortened word" for "Christmas")
Bag: Unusable Items
Tennosuke: Eh?
Tennosuke: OGYAAAAAAAA
Beauty: TENNOSUKE-KUN!!

Gura-san: THAT CAGE IS THE MIRROR OF HADES THAT REFLECTS YOURSELF. YOUR OWN SHINKEN BECOMES AN EVIL ENERGY, BECOMES TIMES 10 AND IS RETURNED BACK TO ALL OF YOU.
Don Patch: HIIII, I'VE GOT AN OMINOUS CAGE FOLLOWING WITH THAT
Beauty: It's merely cardboard.
Gura-san: SO, PERISH IN PAIN BY YOUR OWN SHINKEN!!
Tennosuke, Don Patch & Pokomi: GYAAAAAAA
Beauty: EVERYONE----

172.
Gura-san: HELL PURUPURU SHINKEN!!!

Gura-san: HELL HAJIKELIST!!!
"Little Guys": Otemoya~~n Otemoya~~n Otemoya~~n Otemoya~~n
(TN: "Otemoyan" is a Japanese folk song of Kumamoto Prefecture usually done as a drinking song. The contents of the song involves a girl who is to marry a man who still shows scars from being affected by smallpoxs, but loves him to the point of not wanting to have the ceremony in public)
Don Patch: YOU'RE KIDDING? THAT'S ME TIMES 10!? AMAZIN--
Beauty: DON PATCH-KUN!! WHAT ARE THOSE!?
"Little Guy": Otemoya~~n
Don Patch: What? What?
"Little Guy": OTEMOYAN TRY!!! (Otemoyan)
(TN: A "try" is a score in rugby, usually done by grounding a ball in the opposition's goal. You could call it the equivalent of football's touchdown, but with the ball being required to be on the ground while the player is either across the line or in play)
Don Patch: BU!!!!
"Referee": PII----6-OTEMOYAN
Beauty: I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE MEANING AT ALL
Gura-san: HMPH, SHALL IT HOLD YOU FOR FIVE MINUTES?
Pokomi: THAT WON'T BE SO.
Pokomi: IF THIS ATTACK IS TIMES 10, THEN IT'S JUST BEST IF WE GO FURTHER HIGHER.
Gura-san: !

Pokomi: THAT'S AN OUGI WHERE YOU HAVE TO HAVE A THOROUGH KNOWLEDGE OF THE MEANS THAT CAUSES THE MOST HATRED AND SUFFERING OF AN OPPONENT. YOU'RE THE WORST MAN WITH BAD TASTE...THAT MAKES ME SPEW.

174.
Bo-bobo: POKOMI HAS CHANGED HER COSTUME.
Beauty: A new power.
Hatenko: Did she acquire it in her training with Master Torpedo?
Don Patch: IT'S NOT JUST THE LITTLE BRAT THAT HAS POWERED UP!
Hatenko: OYABIN HAS DESTROYED HIS CAGE TOO!
Tennosuke: IT'S APPEARING HERE~~~NEW DON PATCH!!!

Dengaku Man: I'M A SURVIVOR. BECAUSE I'M STRONG.
Sash: Small Fry Removal Declaration
Beauty: That's good.
Gura-san: YOU'RE ALL GOOD. YOU'LL SEEM TO SUFFER...THAT SMALL GIRL OVER THERE IN PARTICULAR: I'M GOING TO SEE YOUR FACE SCREAMING WITH PATHOS, KUKUKU. WE'LL HAVE A MATCH; SHALL WE GO WITH A SANGARIA?

176.-177.
Bo-bobo: POKOMI, HOLD ON: I'M GOING TO ASSIST ALL OF YOU NOW.
Pokomi: N--n, it's fine! I'll do it in a trio with Patchin and Pururun. This trio is fine.
Bo-bobo: What!!
Don Patch: ARE YOU GOING TO DO THAT?

Beauty: THAT'S...
Dengaku Man: Well, this has come to something. Right, Beauty?
Beauty: Well this kid's already gotten familiar.
Gura-san: WHO I AM TEAMING WITH IS THIS DUO WHO ARE THE EXECUTIONERS OF HADES.
Beauty: Executioners...so then...
SFX: Gokuri
Victori Fighter: VICTORI----
Caption: EXECUTIONER: VICTORI FIGHTER
(TN: This is a weird but funny pun: while it should be read as "Victory", it is supposed to be "victori" with the "tori" for "chicken" in it)
Caption: EXECUTIONER: KATSUODANI FUMIO
Beauty: THEY'RE RESOLVINGLY STRANGE GUYS----!!! (They do executions!? That's amazingly bad)

179.
Victori Figther: VICTORI SHINKEN CHOUOUGI: DAWN'S KICK BOXER MAMORU!!!
(TN: "Kick Boxer Mamoru" is a short-run 1990 series created by Yudetamago about kick-boxing and Muay Thai. It's also notable as Yudetamago's final attempt at Jump serialization)
Tennosuke: GYAAAAA, IS THIS A NEW METHOD OF EXECUTION---!!
Don Patch: DUMMY TENNOSUKE...!
Katsuodani Fumio: YOUR LIFE WILL BE TAKEN WITH A SMILE-GYON
(TN: I had a hard time figuring out "pokkun" which Fumio states but considering his expression, I went with "with a smile". Also, the "gyon" here is a cute version of "gyo", the Japanese word for "fish")
Pokomi: PATCHIN, STEP BACK! HERE WE GO---
Pokomi: LOVELY MAGICAL SHINKEN OUGI: ANGEL-SAN'S TEARS: GIANT TSUNAMI!!!
Katsuodani Fumio & Tennosuke: GYAAAAAAAAAA
Don Patch: THAT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE ALWAYS SOMEHOW GETTING ALL OF US ENTANGLED IN THIS--

Don Patch & Tennosuke: OWWWWWW
Beauty: EEH---THEY'RE BEING PULLED IN BY A FISH!! (He's quite an atrocious fish)
Gura-san: SO, SHALL WE GET STARTED?
Gura-san: WITH THIS MAGNIFICENT HELL JUDGEMENT
Gura-san: GO!
"Black Mist": GIGIGIGIGIGIGI

181.
Gura-san: JIGOKU SAIBAN SHINKEN CHOUOUGI: FLESH-AND-BLOOD HADES' FINAL GATE!!!
Don Patch & Tennosuke: WHAT IS THAT---IT'S EXCESSIVELY SCAAARY---!!!

TN: Well there is one lesson to be learned by this chapter: Purupuru Shinken can save your life as long as someone tries to use it against you...no it isn't worthless, it's just...wobbly. (though the impact...I guess the principle is simple: 0 X 10 = 0) Heck, Don Patch and Tennosuke were probably the highlights of the chapter (well that and the fact that Hanpen wanted a Playstation 3 for Christmas...must love his giant enemy crabs and Ridge Racer) considering the two of them went through the most abuse and insane moments. (then again, just like Purupuru Shinken, Hajike...is similarly impossible to define) On the other hand...while I do like Pokomi, the way she broke out of Gura-san's cage just didn't make sense to me. I don't get how getting more powerful makes her a water elemental...but it's probably just a magical girl thing like "more magic can allow for her to tap into different elements and costumes aside her black one". Her nature of obsession with fighting strength can be both a good and bad thing honestly.
