Translator's Note: Alright, I think I really should have done this back when I was doing the actual punishments but its time to sort of explain a bit of what was going on...sort of. In Japan (as well as China), the planets of the solar system are all connected to the various elements within their society. These elements are fire, water, wood, metal and earth. When Bo-bobo did the punishments by the planets, he mostly followed along with the astrological alignments of each element according to the planet and did what was appropriate. (Mercury/water/whirlpool, Venus/metal/10 yen piece, Mars/fire/lava, Jupiter/wood/wooden sleigh) I didn't mention earth because that was sort of strange: while Saturn is supposed to be the element of earth, Bo-bobo depicted the element for...well, Earth! (thus why they got that huge rock that fell on them). It's weird but in a way it sort of both created a nice pun plus allowed the last four to be one punishment each from each of the weird warriors (Saturn/Don Patch, Uranus/Tennosuke, Neptune/Serviceman, and Pluto combined all three of them). With the technicalities out of the way, I guess I can finally say that this is just one of those really innovative chapters and the first of the "really huge, chapter-long punishments" all of the "boss characters" are going to get for the rest of the series. And note the "final attack": I didn't count but I am assuming every single character Sawai had ever drawn for Bo-bobo up to that point was in that one image! (and of course many more are still to come...) The arc sort of just has one more to go...so I'll make the mentions there when we get there.

Oh, BTW: I finally figured out why the whole "Bo-bobo World" segment worked..but didn't. It's actually sort of simple: as much as Torpedo Girl hates Hajike...she can do Hajike too! Bo-bobo saw that and thus used Bo-bobo World as a ruse to get the seal on her knowing that she would be able to open her spirit there. And thus with the charm, he is able to take advantage of her weakness: though Torpedo Girl has an invincible body, she needs to fly to deliver her attacks..thus attack her at her mobility. And furthermore, I think by this point Bo-bobo probably realized Torpedo Girl isn't too bad...but of course since she still came from OVER, he has to punish him through her. Its weird but I think that's how it works.
