Song: DONA DONA DO—NA DO—NA---- A YOUNG CALF IS RID—ING—OFF
Song: DONA DONA DO—NA DO—NA---- THE WAGON IS SHA—KING—IT—
(Translator’s Note: As explained in Cyber City, “Dona Dona” is a Yiddish song written during WWII that became popular in the US and around the world, particularly in Japan, in the 50s and 60s about a calf’s dreams of freedom from an inevitable fate of death. In the Japanese version of the song, this part which I translated would actually be part of the first chorus)

(Translator’s Note: The song Don Patch is singing is a kids song merely known as “Kore Kurai no Obentto Hako ni” or “It Is At This Time That I Have My Bento Box”. “Onigiri”, on the other hand, is a traditional bento snack of riceballs, usually in a triangular shape but sometimes rounded, with a nori/seaweed hold and occasionally a sour item such as salted salmon or a plum inside)

SFX: Twitch

Translator's Note: Alright, you can't quite say that Bo-bobo mostly sat this one out (see the Don Patch weather machine bit and creating a boat in the harbor), but this chapter mostly allows the other characters to have the spotlight in fighting compared to others. In particular, this is probably one of the few spotlights Heppokomaru gets for a while...sure he sat out of Cyber City and really didn't do that much in Hallelujah Land either but at least he gets something this time around. I did have a couple problems in translating this chapter: for one thing, I didn't realize his name was "Nihil" until his own attack...then again, I did promise to translate all the Katakana names (see Objet). On the other, Softon's little Babylon attack sort of went over my head and I doubt it was what it should be...but I tried my best I guess. Probably the only good thing about this chapter: no "Chona" jokes after another "Dona Dona" reference...I think I've had enough in one lifetime of "Chona".
