76.
Hiiragi, Jati & B. Bo-bobo: THAT APPEARS MAJIDE-BAD!!!!
(TN: Honestly, the Japanese for this line is "Majide Kakkowaru", which literally translates into "this seriously seems bad", but I had to keep the "majide" in due to the "Majide" feel)
S. Bobopatchnosuke: I can't...drive this scooter myself but...wish me luck.

Two-Page Manga: The True Identities of Black Bo-bobo & Jati

79.
Voice: It can't be that the King himself would come to..."The Shadow World", a world like this.
3rd: Have you found the 9 shadows, Ikakage?
Voice: That can't be.
Ikakage: Those were your words, but this Shadow World is as equally huge to the size of the front world. On top of that, this is a world where individuals just merely exist at random, without countries or even names...finding them is a next-to-impossible task.
Ikakage: I who have lost half of my numbers in the previous "Battle of Yobiko", which is engraved in history, amassed all of the secret squid corp and the number of shadows that we discovered at the end of a half-year investigation......

80.
Ikakage: WAS TWO?
Babuu: ONWY TWO?
Ikakage: No no, having discovered those two was a miraculous thing.
3rd: That music?
3rd: Third Y Blind
(TN: Strangely this is a parody of the American band "Third Eye Blind")
Ikakage: The front world and the Shadow World must never mingle...I can't recommend taking them out of here.
Voice: They're doing Billy's Bootcamp? (that's old)
(TN: "Billy's Bootcamp" is a special exercise routine created by Billy Blanks that became popular in Japan in 2007)
3rd: Babuu, you will take responsibility of these two and will raise them for a year. I'm certain they'll be a major war power for the Neo-Maruhage.
3rd: I NAME THEM BLACK BO-BOBO AND JATI
(End of short manga)

TN: Well the short manga...seems to hint some stuff that we'll probably never find out anything further about. From how it seems, the 3rd probably wanted evil versions of all 9 of Bo-bobo's team and use them, but merely lucked into the duo who became Black Bo-bobo and Jati. And...we really don't know anything about why their world and the Shadow World can't ever interact...but to tell the truth, we did at least find out a bit about them here considering we almost never did prior. (Sawai wrote this essentially for the volume since it was a mystery and he really didn't have any further time to really elaborate further)

As for the chapter itself...well, somehow I sort of expected a bit more but with the rapid condensing of things due to how things were pretty much collapsing in on themselves, it did what it was supposed to do. The final confrontation of Don Patch and Gemini Bo-bobo wasn't really about defeating the fused Bo-bobo than it was more or less to free the golden-afro from the black one and eliminate that weird "Composite Superman" being that they had become. Besides, anything with random Tennosuke abuse is always going to be funny. I even liked Tennosuke and Jati's short little gag preventing her from interfering from what was then mostly a Bo-bobo/Don Patch fight (probably their last one...heck it was even nice seeing the fake idiots from Evil Blood Mansion, the last really notable time those two fought) And of course in the end, with the two of them finaklly coming to accord...then it was time to kick butt as Shinsetsu Bobopatchnosuke...which wasn't as mind-blowingly epic as his first appearance back in the original, but still a nice thing to see again for old times sake. Besides...he really should have stuck with his bicycle if he sucks with scooters.

At least now with the evil Hajikelists handled and time running out, there's only one really major opponent left...well, there is a bit more to it than that, but let's say that we're headed into finale time and there is nothing that could stand in Bo-bobo's way...well, except the 3rd...and an old friend...
