Bobobo-bo bo-bobo 141

So far, Bo-bobo's team hasn't come across any difficulties in their battle against the Former Maruhage! But as they approach the next stage, the enemy is about to take things to the next level...both in strength and numbers!

Sign: 2004 HAPPY NEW YEARS
YEAR OF THE DOG: NEW YEAR

Don Patch: SO FIRST, A NEW YEAR’S POEM:
MY WHITE UNDERWEAR

INTERNAL ORGANS
2004: Don Patch
(Translator’s Note: Usually haikus are written on New Years using words of the season, usually involving the “firsts” of the year…though as strange as it is, Don Patch’s poem fits the structure, if not the mood)
Beauty: WHAT IS THAT HAIKU!? THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH NEW YEARS!!
Bo-bobo: MAKING MOCHI! MAKING MOCHI!
(Translator’s Note: It is a common practice on the Japanese New Years to make mochi by smashing boiled sticky rice in a hammer, including Kagami Mochi, which I’ve mentioned a couple times before)

Rububa: I AM RUBUBA. IF YOU ENTER HERE, YOU’LL DIE…PLEASURE TO SEE YA.
(Translator’s Note: Rububa uses an expression “Shikuyoro”, which I really couldn’t find a meaning for but essentially is a greeting in slang)

Don Patch & Tennosuke: GYA
Beauty: WHAT ARE THOSE HOLES? THE FLOOR IS ALSO REVOLVING AROUND!
Rububa: THAT IS THE YEN HELL TRAY! IT’S DEATH EQUIPMENT THAT WILL PARTITION ALL OF YOU OUR BETWEEN HEAVEN, LIFE AND HELL.
(Translator’s Note: The name of the device, “Enmaban”, actually can have multiple meanings dependant on how you take them. For starters, the word “enma” has two separate meanings dependant on the context and kanji used: using the first kanji in “enmaban”, you can use it to create the word “harmony”. On the other hand, using the second kanji, you can use it in conjunction to create the “devil ruler of hell”. And furthermore, not only can the first kanji be used for the “harmony” construction, but on its own is also the kanji for “yen”, which is part of the usage of this coin machine. I tried my best to create the best translation as I could for it. Furthermore, while its understandable what “heaven” (“tengoku”) and “hell” (“jigoku”) are, the third option is “gense”, which is the Buddhist belief of the transient world between the two afterlife choices, which pretty much represents “the present circumstance” or just “life”.)

(Translator’s Note: Like Giga’s Objet Shinken, Rububa’s Sabao Shinken is reflective of another language: Sabao is the Portugese way of saying “soap”, which are the usual means of creating bubbles)

Narrator: LOS ANGELES
Men in Black: Here is the complete two-million dollars. Please do what we requested.
Serviceman: I reject. I don’t do service for money.
Men in Black: Mr. Serviceman!!
Men in Black: Our country needs your service!!
SFX: Beep beep beep
Men in Black: We’ll give you three…four million dollars.
Men in Black; YOUR SERVICE IS YOUR SERVICE IS
Cell: We request your service. Bo-bobo
SFX: BEEP
Men in Black: JUST WHAT YOU’RE WORTH!!
Serviceman: There’s urgent business. Pardon me.
Men in Black: Mr. SERVICEMAN, WHERE ARE YOU GOING!?
Serviceman: BACK TO MY BATTLE COMRADES.

Translator's Note: Once again, somehow we see the more contemplative side of Serviceman. He's creepy but he really isn't as bad as what he usually dishes out over and over...that and it was just a way to change the meaning of "service". Meanwhile with the main meat of the chapter, it is interesting to see Bo-bobo enter a situation which things really aren't under his control and the enemy is actually well prepared. I'm not really a Rububa fan but he (and his superior) did know of what was going on after all Bo-bobo has done so far. Well OK, the chapter was mostly that and seeing Dengaku Man get all macho (and lose) to bubble minions...oh and seeing Tennosuke read about "old man Nu", but his situation was just as dire (if not funnier) than Beauty's. (but of course, Tennosuke can handle himself...sort of, while Beauty is...well, Beauty)
