Shintetsu Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo 61

Shinsetsu 61: Heppokomaru the Strongest!!

133.
Don Patch: HEY----!! WITH THIS TIME, WE'RE FINALLY AT OUR 6TH ANNIVERSARY!! (SHINSETSU HAS BEEN ABOUT A YEAR) YOU'VE BEEN ALWAYS SUPPORTING US AND WE REALLY THANK YOU FOR THAT!!
Don Patch: WELL~~~VARIOUS THINGS HAVE HAPPENED IN THESE 6 YEARS~~~THIS HAS
Don Patch: THIS HAS
Don Patch: EVEN THIS HAS.
Beauty: NONE OF THOSE HAVE.
Don Patch: AND THIS TIME, WE'RE COMMEMORATING THIS 6TH YEAR AND OPENING THE BO-BOBO POPULARITY POLL AFTER 3 YE---ARS!! EVERYONE RAPIDLY SUPPORT US! *Applications have already been completed.
Forehead: Super King
Sash: ACHIEVE 3RD STRAIGHT POPULARITY POLL VICTORY

134.-135.
(Well, as Don Patch said, this is essentially the 6th anniversary cover for Bo-bobo...and really it couldn't have come at a worse time for the series. Even though a year of the Shinsetsu series had passed, the series was essentially bottoming out by this point. Sure the series would still get respect for being in the magazine for this long a period, but to hold a popularity poll at this point either was just to give the series a last hurrah...or just to get a last glimpse at how many people were still reading it and how close it was to cancellation. Sadly, this is the series' last color page at this point before the one where...well, we'll get to that when we get to it. As it stands, we have a fight to finish...and Heppokomaru has some unfinished business)

136.
Beauty: HE-KUN
Monsu: MY DEATH COASTER IS IN SMALL PIECES...!? WHAT IS THIS, MONSU!?
Bo-bobo: HAVE YOU COME, HEPPOKOMARU?

137.
Heppokomaru: !?
Don Patch: I'VE...I'VE WANTACO TO MEET YOU ALL ALONG. I WAS LONELY...IT WAS PAINFUL...YOU HADN'TACO KNOWN I HAVE BECOME TACOLUS
(TN: I have no idea why Don Patch would pull this, but for the most part I tried to make it work as it was in the Japanese: for the most part, Don Patch took certain words that had a "ta" or "tako" in it and spoke them as "takosu", which obviously is "taco" as you can see here. I had to stretch to make it work, in particular the last "taco" where I had to fuse it with "callous", which is just "tako" in Japanese)

138.
Don Patch: HE-KUN IS AT FAULT. EAT ME TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.
Heppokomaru: ME!?
Beauty: If you eat him
Heppokomaru: EEH!?
Don Patch: EAT---!!!! THIS HERE IS A PERSON ALONE WHO BECAME TACOLUS!!!
Don Patch: I PUT IN THE BEST INGREDIENTS WANTING THEM TO BE TASTILY EATEN BY HE-KUN! WELL...OPEN THE INSIDE OF THIS PATCH-TACO!
Packages: TOOTHPASTE

139.
Heppokomaru: ALRIGHT! Well, shall I participate in this battle too?
Don Patch: !!! HE'S FLOATING OFF!!!
Heppokomaru: !?
Don Patch: A PERSON WHO DOESN'T EAT A TACO WILL BE TAKEN TO MEXICO (The 3 Mucho Brothers)
(TN: "Taken" is actually "renkou", which is "taking a suspect to the police")
Heppokomaru: What are they!? Let me go----!!
Beauty: HE-KU-----N
Dengaku Man: THIS ISN'T THE SITUATION FOR ALL OF YOU TO PLAY. BO-BOBO'S BEING STRANGLED BY KAMARA AND IS IN A BIG CRISIS!!
Heppokomaru: EH?
Dengaku Man: LOOK, THAT BO-BOBO GUY IS HAVING THE BONES IN HIS BODY GETTING BROKEN WITH A CRACK-CRACK...

140.
Dengaku Man: AND IS BECOMING BUCKINGHAM PALACE!!!
(TN: Another weird language pun involving "bakkin" like last time, only this time Dengaku Man takes "Bakkin" and changes it to "bakkingamu", as in "Buckingham Palace" in England)
Beauty & Heppokomaru: WHAT----DOES THAT MEAN!!!? (That's a crisis?)
Caption: Inside the palace
Sign: MASTER BO-BOBO'S 39TH BIRTHDAY PARTY
Bo-bobo: HM~~~M HM~~~M, WHAT IS THIS PRESENT~~~
Cards: THE JINMENGYO | JINMENKEN
(TN: "Jinmengyo" and "Jinmenken" are particular strange "phenomenon" of animals who have human faces, literally translating into "Man-Faced Fish" and "Man-Faced Dog")
Bo-bobo: GUBABOBEBUBORABUBERAA!!!
Monsu: UO!!
Heppokomaru: BO-BOBO-SAN

141.
Bo-bobo: HEPPOKOMARU, DON'T MIND ME; PUNCH HARD WITH YOUR FARTS THIS F**KING DRAGON

Capsule: ENTRY PLUG
Don Patch: WHAT EXACTLY DID YOU WANT TO DO!?

143.
Beauty: Amazing...he's rapidly become stronger. This couldn't be what even I've imagined.
Tennosuke: HE--Y, YOU'VE DONE IT, HEPPOKOMARU.
Sash: Tokohe Gang
Pokomi: EHE! IT'S BIG BROTHER HEPPOKO
Pokomi: KYAAA, BUT WHAT WILL I DO? THE EMOTION OF A BIG BROTHER-LITTLE SISTER REUNION! WHAT WOULD BE THE MOST ROMANTIC WHEN I SOMEHOW GET OUT THERE?

144.
Kamara: ...YOU'VE DONE IT.
Bo-bobo: HE'S STILL ALIVE!?
Kamara: YOU'RE GOING TO REPENT IMMEDIATELY FOR MAKING A FOOL OF ME
Heppokomaru: YOU'RE GOING TO BE TAKEN DOWN BY ME. COME.
Kamara: DON'T GET CAUGHT IN THE MOMENT, YOUNGSTER!!
Don Patch: HE-KUN, I'M SCARED!!
Heppokomaru: WA! LET GO, DUMMIES

145.
Heppokomaru: DA...THE COLLAR
Kamara: WHAT?
Heppokomaru: BABUBABUBA----!!!!

146.
Beauty: A DISPOSABLE DIAPER----!!!
Bo-bobo: HE'S INVOKED HIS RUN-AMUCK MODE! WE CAN'T REACH HIM ANYMORE
(TN: "Run-amuck mode" is "Bousou Moodo)
Don Patch: He--re, He-kun, come this way. Mother is going to do magic.
Caption: Mama
Heppokomaru: DA--DA--
Don Patch: Kukuku...after all, a milk-sucking baby is simple.
(TN: Though it translates into "baby", the term Don Patch uses is "chinomiko" which is literally "a milk-sucking child". I decided to give respect to both meanings and made it "milk-sucking baby")
Heppkomaru: BABUBABUBABUBABUBABUBABUBABUBABUBABUBABUBABUBABUBABUBABUBABU
Don Patch: GYOIYAAAAAAAA!!!

147.
Bo-bobo: IF IT'S COME TO THIS, THEN SHOULDN'T WE PUT HIM TO SLEEP BY FORCE?
Tennosuke: YOU'RE A GOOD CHILD, BOY, CAN'T YOU GO BEDDY-BYE?
Beauty: THAT'S DOING TOO MUCH
Heppokomaru: BABU---
Bo-bobo & Tennosuke: GYAAAAAAA
Heppokomaru: BABU BABU
Beauty: What is he doing?
Heppokomaru: BABU BABU BABU
Beauty: HE'S MAKING THEM INTO TEMPURA---!!!!
(TN: A quick reminder: "Tempura" isn't merely one dish but any food covered in a wheat-based batter and deep-fried)

148.
Beauty: CAN'T YOU STOP THIS? THEIR BODIES ARE BREAKING DOWN
Heppokomaru: !
Heppokomaru: BABU--
Beauty: KYA
Heppokomaru: Babu babu...
Beauty: He's in my lap...and sleeping.
(TN: Beauty didn't quite split the words here: the first word she says is "Hizamakura", which is purely "to sleep in someone else's lap", but she split it with the "neru" verbal after this, thus I found it right to split the "in my lap" and "sleeping" terms)
Kamara: THAT IS FOOLISH RUNNING AMUCK
Beauty: !
Bo-bobo: GET UP, HEPPOKOMARU! PROTECT BEAUTY; SHOW US YOUR SUPER-FARTS!!
SFX: PACHI

149.
Heppokomaru: BABU---------------
Bo-bobo, Don Patch & Tennosuke: OOH
"Fart": Beauty Love
Don Patch: A**HOLE!! YOU WON'T EVEN AVOID THIS
SFX: Chon

150.
Heppokomaru: ONARA SHINKEN BOUSOU KAKUSEI OUGI: BEAUTY LOVE
(TN: "Bousou Kakusei" = "Run-Amuck Awakened"; fusing both of Heppokomaru's transformations into one)
Kamara: GYAAAAA

151.
Kamara: ......at...fool...
(TN: The "at" is just the conclusion of "konna" or "that")
Caption: NEO-MARUHAGE THREE DAIOU SHIRYUUEN KAMARA: SUNK
Tennosuke: WE DID IT...WE'VE FINALLY DONE IT...
Don Patch & Tennosuke: IT'S OUR COMPLETE VICTORY; ORYA~~~!!
Beauty: Yes.

152.
Heppokomaru: WA! WHAT IS THIS APPEARANCE!?
Pokomi: BIG BRO-----THER!
Caption: EMOTIONAL REUNION
Beauty: Cheer up. There are various things in life.
Heppokomaru: NO, IT'S A MISUNDERSTANDING!!
Bo-bobo: FROM HERE, WE'RE GETTING BUSY.

TN: Well...what can you say? When you have a chapter with Heppokomaru's Baby Mode, especially after all this time...and all this power...there really isn't much you can without sounding like a fool. I do wonder though how the heck Heppokomaru got his collar back anyway considering his former training supposedly eliminated his need of ever needing it ever again...but my only theory (which will probably be revealed as wrong knowing me) is simple: by the time Heppokomaru finished his latest training session, he became so powerful that the collar he thought he finally surpassed became needed again...because now he had a way more powerful Baby Mode that had to be suppressed. But then again, the fact that Heppokomaru himself didn't realize it shows that somehow he probably had no idea someone put another collar on him...or maybe he just put it back on for old times sake without realizing he was building up way more power again. Honestly it's just tough to figure out and it's time that I stop pondering it. (it's just as difficult as figuring out the whole Monsu/Kamara connection...) Regardless, the chapter was simple but sweet: Heppokomaru returns, crushes Kamara as a baby, and Don Patch...ran around in a taco. But hey, with the series approaching closer to the end, big things are bound to happen with Kamara down and out...and that will start next time!
