Bobobo-bo bo-bobo 104

It's a powerful game created by the powers of Halekulani. And Bo-bobo's team has only two options: win or die! Is there even a way to accomplish the former at all?

Ougi 104: Terrifying Sugoroku Battle

91.
Narrator: Summary: Halekulani’s Yamiougi: “Death Money Sugoroku”. A wonderful 6 has appeared. Bo-bobo’s squad advances in search of their goal.
Bo-bobo: ALRIGHT—WE’VE MADE IT!!
Circle: Three-Hundred Thousand Yen
Halekulani: IT SEEMS YOU’VE STOPPED ON THREE-HUNDRED THOUSAND.
Halekulani: I SHALL MATERIALIZE YOUR SOULS FIRST
SFX: SWISH X 5
Tennosuke: EH!?

92.
SFX: WHOOOOSH
SFX: POP POP POP POP
Beauty: THOSE ARE SOULS!!!?
SFX: PLAIN BREAD
Bo-bobo: YES—PLAIN BREAD--!
Beauty: HIS SOUL IS PLAIN BREAD--!!!?
(Translator’s Note: This is a slight pun: the way the souls were popping into the sky was with the SFX “Pan”. And since “pan” is also the Japanese word for “bread”, just adding “shoku” to it making it “shokupan” allows for Bo-bobo’s soul to be…well, “plain bread”)
SFX: POP POP
Don Patch & Tennosuke: PRETTY FIREWORKS.
Beauty: THEY EXPLODED!!!
Halekulani: Then I’ll add three-hundred thousand yen to the girl’s soul.
Beauty: MONEY’S COMING OUT!!!

Bo-bobo: BEAUTY--!!
Bo-bobo: AH!! BEAUTY’S ARM IS BECOMING DIAMOND!!!
SFX: SPARKLE
Halekulani: Ku ku ku…this money as is goes into your souls…it shaves away part of your soul, turning you into diamond.
Halekulani: You die when your entire body turns into diamond. You have to reach the goal before then…that’s the rule of the game. So, roll the die to go into hell.
Bo-bobo: EXCELLENT!!!

(Translator’s Note: “Diamond” in Japanese can also be called by its abbreviated name: “daiya”. And furthermore, when you slightly adjust the first character changing “da” to “ta”, you get “taiya” or “tire”)
Beauty: Yeah yeah.
Bo-bobo: FURTHERMORE I’VE THE ONLY HYBRID TIRE!!! (How’s----that?)
(Translator’s Note: A hybrid tire has the tread actually cut into the tire)

Halekulani: How’s that, Bo-bobo? How has this game affected you?
Beauty: This is bad…as is, Bo-bobo will turn into diamond…if we could return the money that was taken, he should surely return to normal.

Yugi Mutou: I SUMMON “OSIRIS THE SKY DRAGON”!!!!
SFX: POP
(Translator’s Note: No, you are not hallucinating. That is Yugi Mutou (well OK…Atem) from fellow WSJ series “Yu-Gi-Oh!” as drawn by his original mangaka Kazuki Takahashi. And another note: “Osiris the Sky Dragon” is the original Japanese name for “Slither the Sky Dragon”, with his full name, as seen on the card, as “Saint Dragon – the God of Osiris”)
Beauty: AN AMAZING PERSON HAS APPEARED--!!!! (It’s really Yugi--)
Beauty: OSIRIS IS COMING!!!

Bo-bobo: SO THEN, THIS SUGOROKU YOU PRIDE WILL BEAT YOU DOWN WITH MY OWN “FUNNY SUGOROKU”.
Don Patch: Eh~~Sugoroku again?
Board: Game of “Life”

Translator's Note: Its really hard to find a way to say "epic" when it comes to Bo-bobo, but this chapter was probably one of the biggest. For many, this chapter probably had the ultimate Bo-bobo moment: a collaboration between Yoshio Sawai and Kazuki Takahashi to allow Bo-bobo to use Yugi Mutou to destroy Halekulani's game! It's not just a shocker to us though: somehow I believe that it was this scene and this scene alone that made Viz pick up Bo-bobo...let alone start it in Hallelujah Land instead of...well, the beginning! Reading over some information, particularly after the chapter, its interesting to note that Sawai was a huge YGO fan even before he started his own series and, as you can see by his version of Osiris, he's still quite a novice at drawing epic things. (though he is getting there) But somehow even as amazing as this chapter was, this was perhaps the icing on an already delicious cake. (not to mention a chapter of YGO around the same time had the Nu Handkerchief...two for one I say) But at the same time, it does make one wonder: why doesn't Sawai do these sorts of collaborations more often? Wouldn't he really work with other mangaka at Jump more easily? But I guess that's the world of Bo-bobo: expect the unexpected. If Sawai had more of these cameos, it probably would seem less like Bo-bobo and more like...I dunno, some other series. But of course that doesn't mean he doesn't do this again...while we're not that close to it yet (and its not quite in here), a couple more notable mangaka do assist in various parodies and crazy stuff with Sawai just like Kazuki Takahashi did with his "children's card game". Of course, next time, we're back to the actual Sugoroku battle, but until then, I'll see you......IN AMERICA! (yeah, it gets annoying if used too often but I couldn't resist)
