Bobobo-bo bo-bobo 96

Just because you've turned into a child doesn't mean you can't kick butt. Of course, for the Hajike Trio to defeat the "enemy" Nightmare, that's just what they've got to do...but I doubt they're that child-like even now.

Tennosuke: AH! (He’s over there)
Man: I’m Franco.
(Translator’s Note: Another language pun: the Japanese word for “swing” is “Buranko”, and the man’s name is “Franco”, which is one slight adjustment of “bu” to match.)

Nightmare: WHAT IS THIS!!!!?
Tofu Men: YOUR COMRADES KONJAC AND JELLY HAVE SUBMITTED! YOU TOO WILL BECOME TOFU IMMEDIATELY!
(Translator’s Note: As stated prior, “konjac” (or “Konnyaku”) is a jelly-like substance created using a yam of the same name, while “zeri” is the Japanese way of saying “jelly” as in “gelatin” like “Jell-o”)
Konjac & Zeri: WE…WE’RE SORRY…
Sashes: Tofu Faction

“Bobopatch”: I’LL SHOW YOU MY TRUE POWER.
Backside: BACK
Heppokomaru: HIS BACK IS MUCH WORSE!!!!
“Bobopatch”: LET’S GO!!!
Beauty & Heppokomaru: THERE HE GOES----!!!

148.
“Bobopatch”: SOUND OF GLORIOUS DESCENT
(Translator’s Note: This attack was another insane one to translate. For starters you have “Seirei”, which actually is made up of two kanji, “sei”, which is the kanji for “holy” or “saint”, which was combined with the kanji “rei”, which has the meaning of “beautiful” or “graceful”. Considering that “sei” and “rei” really didn’t seem to have any meaning together in Japanese, I came up with the translation of “glorious”, as in the “beautiful holy” appearance of a saint or god-like figure. “Shou”, on the other hand, was a means to say “hear” or “listen”…I made that “sound” to make it make sense. Luckily the middle world, “kourin”, actually means “descent”)
Nightmare: GYAAAAAAA!!!!
Beauty & Heppokomaru: HE WON------!!!!
“Bobopatch”: JUSTICE HAS WON…
SFX: Plunk
Narrator: At that time
Kanemaru: HALEKULANI-SAMA!!! Bo-bobo has broken into Hallelujah Land!! His power isn’t normal…

149.
SFX: Flick
SFX: Cling cling cling
Kanemaru: Eh?
Halekulani: GORGEOUS SHINKEN
(Translator’s Note: The dub translated this as “Fist of Gorgeousness”)
Kanemaru: GUGUGU…GYAAAAAAAAAAA
SFX: Scrunch scrunch schunch scrunch
SFX: Ching, Flap
Halekulani: YOU’RE ONLY WORTH ONE YEN.

Translator's Note: Why was I getting vibes of the Chuunosuke fight with this chapter? I mean, prior to the nightmare sequence (which was probably the best part), it was just a giant cat-and-mouse game...but I guess that's what happens with kids. Now while we could probably go into all the nightmares (and I'd love to have Don Patch's myself), note Tennosuke's nightmare: for the first time since his own fight, we have the return of his hatred of tofu! Somehow having this really gives the wobbly guy a bit more character...well than he already had. Also of note: the running gag of normal, ordinary Bobopatch never returning continues...but hey, at least the results this time is all from being kids and it was bound to probably be bizarre regardless. See you next time, but until then....OBEY THE TOFU OVERLORDS...er, never mind.
