Shintetsu Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo 64

What's more insane than Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo? How about two Bo-bobo...at the same place and time!! But is Black Bo-bobo really serious about replacing the original...and what about those searching for him!?

Shinsetsu 64: Gathering! The Strongest Hajikelists

191.
B. Bo-bobo: BO-BOBO, I WILL DEFEAT YOU. THE BO-BOBOS THAT WILL REMAIN IN THIS WORLD WILL BE ONE...THERE CAN'T EXIST TWO.
Bo-bobo: HEY...WHAT IS THAT!? IT'S SUDDENLY APPEARED AND I HAVE TO HAND OVER THE SEAT OF BO-BOBO? UNBELIEVABLE.
Don Patch: WELL, ISN'T IT FINE WITH EITHER OF YOU? THAT'S PRACTICAL.

192.
Bo-bobo: OOH, BO-BOBO, WHY ARE YOU YOU BO-BOBO TOO? THE TWO OF US WHO LOVE EACH OTHER CAN'T GO AND LIVE TOGETHER...
Bo-bobo: If my udon is the put-on-after crunchy tempura-faction...
Bo-bobo: Yours is the juicy Oage-faction.
(TN: While probably I've gone into the factor of udon noodles before and the various usage in Japanese cuisine, these two are sort of reminders:
-"Crunchy tempura" is in reference to the usage of tempura as a bit of a garnish in various Japanese cuisine
-"Oage" is in reference to "Aburaage", a deep-fried strip of tofu usually used as a garnish in soups)
B. Bo-bobo: Just that is unforgivable.
Bo-bobo: BUT I DON'T CARE THAT THERE ARE TWO BO-BOBOS. LET'S LIVE STRONGLY TOGETHER AS A DUO.
B. Bo-bobo: I CAN'T: EVEN IF GOD PERMITS THIS...

193.
B. Bo-bobo: The apple-dogs won't be silent.
"Apple-Dogs": No way, no way, unforgivable.
Bo-bobo: Apple-dogs---they're unreasonable-----
Bo-bobo: LET'S DIE...BY DRINKING POISON...
B. Bo-bobo: RIGHT...I CAN'T LIVE.
Sign: POISON CAFE DOKUSHI (Death by Poison)
Bo-bobo: MASTER, IS THIS 80s POISON CARTEL EFFECTIVE?
Tennosuke: It came in unexpectedly.
Bo-bobo: THEN, TWO OF THIS.
Tennosuke: HERE, THANKS FOR WAITING.
Bo-bobo: NO WAY---! IT'S GOT LIZARDS IN IT. IT'S---OLD
B. Bo-bobo: GOT IT, GOT IT. IF THERE IS A POISON OF THE 80s, THEN THIS IS IT AFTER ALL: KYAHAHA!

194.
Don Patch: SINCE YOU'RE FINE, DIE.

Bo-bobo & B. Bo-bobo: HYDROCLORIC ACID SHOWER---GYAAAAA
Bo-bobo & B. Bo-bobo: AAAH...
Caption: TWO ASTRAY METAL NOSEHAIRS HAVE APPEARED.
(TN: This is a parody of the infamous "Metal Slimes" that have appeared in the Dragon Quest franchise; though it actually more resembles the "Liquid Metal Slime" that has existed since DQII)
Beauty: WHAAT!
Don Patch: THE EXPERIENCE VALUE OF A METAL-GRADE IS HIG----H, SURROUND IT, SURROUND IT!! THIS GUY
Tennosuke: SPRINKLE HOLY-WATER, HOLY-WATER!! THAT'S A BLOW
Heppokomaru: HEY---YOU TWO----EVEN BO-BOBO-SAN

Heppokomaru: AH! THAT'S DANGEROUS
Bo-bobo: !
B. Bo-bobo: HIIIII; I'M SCARED, I'M SCARED BEAUTY-SAN!! DON'T HIT ME SOMEHOW---!!!
Beauty: Eh? You know about me?
Don Patch: Aren't you amazing.
B. Bo-bobo: I KNOW ABOUT YOU. I KNOW VARIOUS THINGS.
B. Bo-bobo: JUST ABOUT THAT SECRET OF BEAUTY-SAN...SINCE I CAN'T ABSOLUTELY SAY JUST ABOUT THAT SHAMEFUL PERSONAL EXPERIENCE OF BEAUTY-SAN...
B. Bo-bobo: I'll commit suicide.
B. Bo-bobo: BECAUSE OF THAT, PLEASE FORGI--VE ME YOU POSSESS AN EMBARRASING PAST, BEAUTY-SAN
Narrator: "Should I.............kill it?" Beauty remembered her intent to murder for the first time since she was born.

196.
Heppokomaru: Calm down, Beauty.
Bo-bobo: This black Bo-bobo is a continuation of me and knows even about Beauty. What exactly is he?
Bo-bobo: HA
Don Patch: THAT'S...
Hiiragi: I'VE FOUND YOU AT LAST. BLACK BO-BOBO.
Don Patch: UO
Pokomi: KYAAAAA, WHAT?

197.
Bo-bobo: THAT OVERBEARING FEELING IS AN AURA PECULIAR TO HAJIKELISTS. AN EXTRA-LARGE HAJIKELIST IS COMING NEAR.
Bo-bobo: URGENT HAJIKE WARNING ANNOUNCEMENT; URGENT HAJIKE WARNING ANNOUCEMENT.
Bo-bobo: PLEASE COMMIT SUICIDE AT ONCE.
Beauty: WHAT!!? THE MEANING OF THE WARNING WAS!!?
Bo-bobo: I'm still fine...what about Don Patch...
Heppokomaru: EH?
Don Patch: BUKU BUKU BUKU BUKU
Heppokomaru: WHAT IS THAT!!?

Don Patch: GRAPEFRUIT! GRAPEFRUTI!
Don Patch: YOU DRANK TOO MUCH!!!!
Tennosuke: BUBO!!!

Softon: The pressure is increasing.
Hatenko: IT'S COMING FROM SOMEWHERE?
Old Man: FROM ABOVE---!!!
Beauty: Are you still here?
Beauty & Heppokomaru: WHAT IS THAT----!!? IS THAT A KIND OF VEHICLE---!?
Beauty: AND FURTHER THEY SEEM TO BE COMING TO RIDE IT AMAZINGLY...THEY'RE CLEARLY ENDURING IT AND THEY'RE EXTREMELY PAINFUL BECAUSE THERE'S NO FOOTHOLD WITH THAT VEHICLE.

201.
Jati: There we go.
Hiiragi: We've arrived.
Beauty: EH?
Beauty: A BLACK ME!?
Jati: GLAD TO MEET YOU!
Tennosuke: EVEN A BLACK BEAUTY HAS APPEARED
B. Bo-bobo: It's a cheap imitation; a cheap imitation.
Softon: WHAT IS THAT PERSON?
Don Patch: THAT BEAUTY IS THE EVIL THAT EMERGED BY HER LONG-AGO TRAINING. GREAT DEMON KING BEAUCCOLO.
(TN: Don Patch here is referring to the actual "Great Demon King Piccolo/Evil King Piccolo" from Akira Toriyama's "Dragon Ball", who was the personification of the evil of the "God" (called "Kami" in the English version) separated out by him but who ended up becoming the evil being that Goku was forced to contend with later on. Though this Piccolo died, his "son", Ma Jr., became the Piccolo who eventually became the noble warrior who would refuse with God by the Cell arc)
Jati: WRONG!!
Beauty: YOU CREATED THAT WEIRD CREATION ON YOUR OWN---!!
Narrator: At that moment, Heppokomaru thought
Heppokomaru: Even that black Beauty-san is wild and dreamy. (I've gone deep)
Narrator: ...By himself.

202.
Bo-bobo: NO, EVEN WITH THAT, THERE IS THIS GUY IN THE CARTOON-CHARACTER OUTFIT.
(TN: "Cartoon-character outfit" is in reference to the Japanese word "kigurumi")
Bo-bobo: HE'S...AIMING FOR OUR LIVES FROM THAT PLACE.
Bo-bobo: HE'S DANGEROUS...
Don Patch: YEAH, WE'LL DO THIS SUITABLY.
Beauty: What are you doing?
Hiiragi: NICE TO MEET YOU. I AM HIIRAGI, THE KING OF HAJIKELISTS; THIS YEAR'S HAJIKELIST CHAMPION.
Annotation: Hajikelist - Idiot
(TN: Yeah, this is the first time we get a full explanation for the "Hajikelist" concept in such a blunt manner...which has the definition of "Baka" or "Idiot"/"Dummy")

203.
Bo-bobo: THAT'S THE PROOF OF THE KING.
Tennosuke: IS IT THE REAL THING?
Hiiragi: I KNEW AND UNDERSTOOD WITH YOUR BATTLE WITH KAMARA: A HAJIKELIST CAN ONLY BE DEFEATED BY A HAJIKELIST AFTER ALL.
Hiiragi: Shall we match in Hajike in the Holy-Land of Hajike?
Beauty: Eh?
Heppokomaru: Is it here?
Hiiragi: NEO-SHINJUKU WARD BATTLE STAGE: DO-OR-DIE ROAR-OF-LAUGHTER HAJIKE TOWER!!!
SFX: PATA (clunk)
Beauty: EEEH----!!!? (It was papier mache!?)

204.
Heppokomaru: NO NO, THIS WASN'T THE LEVEL OF PAPIER MACHE.
Beauty: THERE WERE MOVING KINDERGARTNERS AND THEY WERE ON A LEVEL SURFACE! STRANGE.
SFX: WA--WA--WA--WA--WA--
Hiiragi: ALL OF YOU WERE SURVIVORS OF THREE YEARS AGO AS WELL.
Hiiragi: Three years ago: at that 77th King of Hajikelist Expert Tournament; said to have Hajike at the most highest of level...

207.
Hiiragi: THE HAJIKE OF ALL OF YOU IS ALREADY OLD!! I'M THE KING OF HAJIKELISTS OF THE NEW ERA-----!!!
Bo-bobo: IS THIS THE RAGING WAVES OF THE NEW ERA----!!!
Don Patch: REPENT; YOU'RE CHALLENGING MY HAJIKE!
Tennosuke: I'm doing this too?
(End of Vol. 6)

TN: Well...that could explain the hamburger outfit Bo-bobo went to the Hajike Festival in way back in vol. 1 of the original...yeah, maybe it's weird he may not have "known" of Don Patch...then again, with Hajike, anything is really possible so it's really hard to explain what the heck just happened outside what we know: Hiiragi, Jati and Black Bo-bobo are taking on Bo-bobo, Don Patch...and Tennosuke. (who really wants nothing to do with it but he's the third best Hajikelist on the team right now) Well there are a few things I can add in on what we know: the two Bo-bobos doing that "Romeo & Juliet" scenario was disturbing yet silly, especially with the poison bar and the mutation of both of them into Metal Slimes; Heppokomaru is a perv thinking he can have both Beauty and Jati, grapefruit juice is good for you (as long as you don't have too much), we finally see what a true "King of Hajikelist" competition is like (then again I'm still trying to figure out how Rice won that one last year if this is Don Patch's standard...all I can think of he probably forgot to do so with all going on in his life but I guess Hiiragi was refining his comedy if he didn't enter either...of course even Don Patch lost to Rice but that was mostly due to how powerful he is at "dinner time" with Hajike) and...well, if this chapter was insane, then the fight we're entering into is probably just going to blow our mind! But heck, with one volume to go, this is probably going to be the last true Hajike-based fight...so it better be epic!

Now all we need is a tune to that "King of Hajikelists" song...
