Bobobo-bo bo-bobo 115

Double the battles, double the climax: with no memory to destroy, can Don Patch find a way to finally close the book on Shibito? And how much more manhandling can Kuruman take before he finally spills the beans to Bo-bobo?

Ougi 115: Wrath X 2

85.
Narrator: Due to Shibito's "Memory Destruction Array", Torpedo Girl and Tennosuke's memories have been destroyed.
Beauty: THAT'S...TENNOSUKE-KUN!!
Tennosuke: FUNYU
Beauty: HE'S BECOME A SMALL ANIMAL!!!
Beauty: WHAT IS THIS? AREN'T YOU TOKOROTEN?
Tennosuke: FUNYU?
Voice: KU...I FEEL SICK
Beauty: WHA! AND TORPEDO-SAN!!?
SFX: SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH
Beauty: WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? (Alone)
Torpedo Girl & Tennosuke: !
SFX: WHOOOOSH
Beauty: A WEIRD BATTLE HAS STARTED----!!!!
(Translator's Note: While it's obvious that this is a parody of "The Matrix"'s bullet time, somehow this also may be connected with current events: this was around the period of the release of 2003's "The Matrix Reloaded", while "The Matrix Revolutions" also came out towards the end of the same year)

86.
SFX: WHOOOOOSH
Don Patch: Heh, your Ougi has no effect on me.
Shibito: Then I'll turn you into characters.
Words: MONJI (Character)
Don Patch: What?
Shibito: GOTHIC SHINKEN OUGI: CHARACTER CHANGE!! NOW, TURN INTO CHARACTERS
Don Patch: GYAAAA
Beauty: DON PATCH-KUN!!
Words: DON PATCH (Pig Eight)
Beauty: PIG EIGHT!!?
(Translator's Note: This joke is mostly about the "adjustments" in the kanji used for Don Patch's name. The "Don", also known as the onmyoji "Ton", is "Pig" in Japanese, while "Pacchi", connected to the onmyouji "Hacchi", became "Eight")

(Translator's Note: Shitamachi is an old Edo term regarding the "downtown" of Edo/Tokyo below the castle in the low parts of the city. These include modern districts of Asakusa, Ueno (formerly Shitaya), Honjo, Kanda, Nihonbashi, Kyobashi & Fukagawa)

Don Patch: AL--RIGHT, HERE I GO--
Pigs: JUMP-BUU--BUU--BUU--BUU--
(Transaltor's Note: "Buu" is the equivalent of "oink" in English)
Don Patch: I...I CAN'T...

Beauty: THEY'RE PREPARING THE OTHER WAY AROUND----!!!!
Don Patch: THOSE S**T----!!!

Beauty: WHO'S THAT!? ON THE OTHER HAND, WHERE'S TORPEDO-SAN?

SFX: BO--OM
Shibito: GUBA!!

Don Patch: Heh...calm down. You're not going to die from the Don Patch Extract being inside you. It only just makes your thoughts the same as mine.
Beauty: Wh...what is this dreadful technique...
Narrator: This moment Beauty remembered as the scariest in her entire life...
Shibito: Fu, the same thoughts as you? That's stupid: I'm normal.
Shibito: TAKE THIS: OUGI: SUPER-ANGRY DRAGON STORM SONG!!!!
Words: BAKA OUJI (Stupid Prince) / PANCHIRA (Panty Shot) / MENTAIKO (Mentaiko)
(Translator's Note: While the first one is obviously a "stupid prince", the other two actually have some reference in Japanese. The first, "Panchira", is an expression usually used by women of "visible panties", but is notable as well within many anime as a means of fanservice. "Mentaiko", on the other hand, is a specialty dish of pollock roe brought in from Korea after WWII and a specialty of the city of Hataka in Fukuoka prefecture)
Beauty: THEY'RE CLEARLY ABNORMAL-----!!!
SFX: BAM BAM BAM
Tennosuke: OBU!!
Beauty: AND IN THIS SITUATION, TENNOSUKE GETS THE ATTACK---!!!
Shibito: S**T, BUT I'LL DEFEAT YOU JUST THE SAME IN PHYSICAL COMBAT.
"Narrator": However, Shibito's attacks didn't affect him at all. This too should have. But it was because he
SFX: BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM

"Narrator": Was Ashikaga Takauji.
(Translator's Note: Ashikaga Takauji was the first shogun of the "Ashikaga Shogunate", also known as the Muromachi period which ruled Japan from 1338 until their defeat by Oda Nobunaga in 1573. Takauji is notable for his battles with the previous Kamakura leaders and for his conquering of Kyoto in order to re-establish the order and prestige of samurai and the court in the Heian era)
Beauty: I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE MEANING AT ALL!!! (This is continuing from last week)
Tennosuke: AH! MY HAND DID IT
Beauty: IT WAS YOU ALL ALONG!! YOUR MEMORY'S BACK!
Shibito: IN THAT CASE, GOTHIC SHINKEN SAIDAIOUGI: EXTREMELY MASSIVE CHARACTER DRAGON!!!
Beauty: EH? A MASSIVE CHARACTER IS EMERGING!!
Shibito: IT SHOULD BE UNNECESSARY FOR THAT GUY'S THOUGHTS IN MY SAIDAIOUGI. I'M RISKING IT ON THIS SINK-OR-SWIM OUGI!!!

Kuruman: YOU DUMMIES---!!! IT'S USELESS IF THE HAIKU DOESN'T HAVE 5/7/5 AND NO SEASONAL WORDS----!!!
(Translator's Note: In a traditional haiku, not only is "5/7/5" in effect but it usually has "seasonal words", or "kigo" connected to when its written.)

SFX: CRA--SH
Kuruman: FUGO!!!!
Bo-bobo: GIGA, I WILL DEFEAT YOU
Giga: EXCELLENT.

Translator's Note: It's sort of surprising to see what happens when a battle goes from Torpedo Girl at the lead to Don Patch. While the Shibito fight seemed drawn out with the former, the latter seemed to refresh it enough to make the ending enjoyable...well its that or the Don Patch Extract talking. And Kuruman...well he was probably just silly, what with prolonging his fight with haikus...he wasn't really that worth it at all. Meanwhile, I've got a bit of an announcement: after the completion of this chapter, we are now halfway through the "original" Bo-bobo! (we're not counting Shinsetsu for the moment so its not the entire Bo-bobo franchise) With 230 chapters, we've now made our way to 115...and thus we've got 115 of the classic saga left to go! Of course...the next fight in Cyber City...is probably one a lot of people have been waiting a long time for...and when we get to "that chapter", I'm planning something special for all you guys. Hope you like it when its released!
