Even when they have fun, Bo-bobo's team just keeps fighting against the forces of Hallelujah Land! But with even more dangerous opponents out there, can Bo-bobo prepare for what lies ahead...and can Don Patch really bare with that decision?

Box: Dynamite

154.
Bo-bobo: TENNOSUKE, WE’LL NEVER FORGET YOU!!
Stick: Dynamite
Tennosuke: FUGOFUGOFUGOFUGO (You’re kidding!? You’re kidding!?)
Bo-bobo: HANAGE PURUPURU DOUBLE OUGI: BAKURANTEN!!!!
(Translator’s Note: I didn’t translate this attack mostly since it probably could have multiple meanings. The Kanji “Baku” is used for “explosion”, “Ran” is used for “war” and “ten” is used for “heaven”. Thus the attack could essentially be called “Explosive Heaven’s War”…but since Bo-bobo is blowing up Tennosuke and the kanji used for “Ten” is part of his name, it also could be “Explosive Tokoroten War”)
Garubel: GUO!!!
Bo-bobo: HA! BEAUTY, ARE YOU HURT!!?
Beauty: I’m fine.
Bo-bobo: WAS IT FROM THE CLAWS EARLIER!!!
Garubel: I GOT A HORRIBLE FEELING FROM THAT TECHNIQUE. I’LL HAVE TO SLICE ALL OF THEM TO DEATH.
Bo-bobo: HOW DARE YOU FOOLISHLY ATTACK BEAUTY…YOU ALONE I CAN NEVER…NEVER…

155.
Bo-bobo: FORGIVE!!!!
SFX: SHAAAAA
Garubel: EEH----!!? (He became a beast-man!!!)
Bo-bobo: CHOUSHIN GOUGA JUUSAIDAN!!!!
(Translator’s Note: Another really cumbersome name, “Choushin” is “Super-Godly”, “Gougajuu” = “Strong-Fanged Beast”, “Saidan” = “Smash Shot”. Thus the full attack is probably “SUPER GODLY STRONG-FANGED BEAST SMASH SHOT”…or something)
SFX: BO—OM
Garubel: GUWAAAA!!
Suzu, Tennosuke & Dengaku Man: HE USED A STRANGE TECHNIQUE AGAIN----!!!
Bo-bobo: My favorite food is Pedigree Champions
Box: Pedigree Champions
(Translator’s Note: Yes, it’s the same dog food as we have here)
Beauty: That doesn’t matter.
Garubel: S**T!! DON’T UNDERESTIMATE ME!!!

156.
Tennosuke: PURUPURU SHINKEN OUGI: COATING!!!!
Tennosuke: Just a bit!
SFX: Drip drip
Bo-bobo: PURUPURU HANAGE DOUBLE OUGI: XEVIOUS’ WALL!!!!
(Translator’s Note: The game Bo-bobo is referring to now is “Xevious”, an early scrolling shooter created by Namco in 1982. The “wall” is a reference to a notable obstacle/enemy in the game)
Tennosuke: GYAAAAAAAAA
SFX: BAM
Garubel: GUBA!!!!
Suzu: Amazing!! He’s treating Garubel the Blood-Flower like a child…But I sense Bo-bobo-san’s efficiency is somehow different from how he always is…
Suzu: AM I IMAGINING THINGS…?
Bo-bobo: Bleh—

157.
Suzu: HA!!!
Don Patch: N—have you noticed it? Miss.
Suzu: It’s because Don Patch-san isn’t here!!! When he’s not here, Bo-bobo can’t demonstrate his real power!!! If I could do something here…
Suzu: S**T--!!!
SFX: STREEEETCH
SFX: SHUUUUU

Suzu: HE KNOWS!!!
Beauty: You shouldn’t have done that.
Suzu: ……
Suzu: HE DOESN’T NEED MY HELP…
Tennosuke: Ah! It’s Don Patch (What’s he doing here?)
Bo-bobo: GALUBEL, NEXT I WILL SEAL OFF YOUR CLAWS.
Galubel: YOU’RE CALM WITH THAT COMMENT. BUT I THINK YOU COME AFTER ME WITH THE SAME TECHNIQUES EVERY TIME…
Galubel: HOWL, DARKNESS SERPENT!!!!

Sign: DASAIGER HERO SHOW (Tickets)
(Translator’s Note: The next segment is a sentai-parody, even with the name. “Dasai” is Japanese for “unsophisticated” or “primitive” or “antiquated”, thus this would probably be “Antiquangers” in English or something)
Heppokomaru: Owow…I lost track of him…
Don Patch: I’m tired of playing—

Heppokomaru: WAAAAA!!!!

Villain: N!
Sash: CANDIDATE
Villain: WHAT IS THAT THING!!?
Villain: Don’t look at it. Don’t look at it.
Head: Evil
Don Patch: YOU GOT ME!
Villain: GE!! HE CAME ON HIS OWN!!
Villain: KU…NO OTHER CHOICE.
Announcer: DON’T GET CLOSE! THAT CHILD HAS PAIN IN ITS EYES!!
Dasaiger: STOP BEING VIOLENT TO THAT CHILD!!
Announcer: THE DAISAGER ARE IN A PINCH
Don Patch: DASAIGER—DASAIGER—

163.
Don Patch: DON’T WORRY ABOUT ME, DEFEAT EVIL!!!!
SFX: STAB
Daisager: WAAAAAAA!!!!
Villain: HE COMMITTED SEPPUKU!!
Dasaiger: ARE YOU ALRIGHT!!?
Don Patch: Eh. Because I drink my milk.
Dasaiger: UWA! COWS ARE APPEARING. OWOW, STOP IT!!
Don Patch: DRINK MILK-MOO—DRINK-MOO! DRINK-MOO! KINTETSU’S NO-MOO---!
(Translator’s Note: Alright, we’ve got quite a few cow puns and jokes we really need to get through with this bit. Basically, the verb that Don Patch is singing when he’s telling people to “drink milk” is “nomu”, which is basically “to drink”. Furthermore, the way he is saying it is “nomou”, which is sort of an issue to “drink milk” to the audience. And yet here’s where it gets silly: since “Mo--” or “Mou” is the Japanese way of saying “Moo”, Don Patch is basically saying “No-moo”. I really wish there was an easier way to get the pun across in English but the best I could come up with is “drink-moo”. And then it gets weirder: at the very end, Don Patch says “Kintetsu no Nomo”, a reference to notable baseball player Hideo Nomo, who originally played for the Kintetsu Buffalo prior to his US career. While the kanji and pronunciation for Nomo’s name is correct, the way it is presented alongside with the other “moo” puns and its approximation to “nomou” in the other bits leads to it sort of becoming “Nomoo” instead. That should pretty much explain this bit)

Heppokomaru: A WEIRD THING HAS STARTED!!

164.
Heppokomaru: !!
Don Patch: YOU’RE ALREADY AMOOSING IF YOU DRINK MILK! MOO--MOO—
(Translator’s Note: More cow jokes: Don Patch said “mou” in the cow-like “Mo—“ method. Whereas “Mou taihen” is “already terrible” or the positive “already amazing”, I decided to make a more obvious pun here)
Heppokomaru: WHAT IS HE!? IS HE PART OF THE “HELL KILLERS” SUZU MENTIONED!!?
Heppokomaru: WATCH OUT, DON PATCH!!
Don Patch: EVERYONE BUY YOUR MILK IF YOU WANT TO SING!
Don Patch: BUY IT--!!!!
SFX: CRASH
Heppokomaru: EH!!!?
T-500: YOU’RE ON BO-BOBO’S TEAM.
Don Patch: I’M THE LEAD CHARACTER WHETHER IT’S A TEAM OR S**----T!!!!

Translator's Note: Oh brother. Just when I thought most of the insane, ridiculous puns were going to be easy to translate now we're past the early part of the series...Don Patch decides to do his milk advertisement. Now while I like cows and the gag, trying to make all those puns make sense was brutal, let alone trying to explain them! Heck, I didn't even know whether to make that one bit "Nomo" or "Nomoo"...but of course went with the obvious choice. However, prior to that I actually had a fun time with this chapter: the Galubel fight really never caught my eye in the anime and just seeing Bo-bobo and Tennosuke really let loose after some of the more recent fights was just lots of fun. Of course, the saddest story of the chapter is Suzu: I do like her character but somehow Sawai realizes that its really hard to use her at all on the team...sure she admires Bo-bobo but she really can't do too much compared to being with Gunkan. That...and her Don Patch impression was hilariously pathetic. Maybe Suzu needs to drink more milk ;p
