Bo-bobo & Don Patch: SHINSENGUMI-STYLE OUGI: SHINDERERA!!!!
(Translator’s Note: For those of you who have followed manga and anime long enough, you probably know of the Shinsengumi: a special police created by imperial loyalists to protect the emperor, initially after the invasion of foreign invaders in the late Tokugawa shogunate prior to the Meiji restoration. Of course, this “styled attack” is obviously a pun creating kanji that spell out “Cinderella” (kept here in their Japanese readings), but technically translating as “Shining Spirit Silk”.)
Headband: SINCERITY

Beauty: NO, CINDERELLA DOESN’T USE THAT TECHNIQUE!!

Translator's Note: Alright, I should have expected it but even I was slightly thrown for a loop with the "Initial D" reference. Considering that it is in a Kodansha magazine (and a seinen, which usually are a bit mature for shonen audiences in some of its content), I really didn't expect them to make the reference...but of course, with Initial D being the premiere racing manga in Japan, it probably should have shouted out at me sooner. Personally, though, most of this chapter was fun but...I guess somehow it was Sawai's attempt to outdo the Sugoroku world he did with Halekulani...and while his last chapter was definately more interesting than the "initial Shinken battle" with the money master, this one was just a bit repetitive even if it was fun. But of course, we're approaching the climax of the arc soon enough...Giga wouldn't get so freaky if it wasn't that close to the finish anyway.
