(TN: A couple of notes regarding Don Patch's "manga":
-"Baumkuchen" is a popular layer cake in Japan where spongey round cakes are rounded and sliced on the inside akin to the rings of a tree.
-"Carbonara" is a style of Italian pasta served with egg, pecorino romano, guanciale [a kind of bacon] and black pepper, usually made with spaghetti)

Bo-bobo: NAMEROU...YOU...THAT FORM IS...
Namerou: I AM THE NEW KING OF THE NEO MARUHAGE. I'VE BECOME TSURULINA THE 5TH.
Don Patch: WELL, YOU, JUST WHAT IS WITH THAT BECKHAM HAIR~~~?
(TN: "Beckham Hair" is in reference to the hair of famous soccer player David Beckham, who is notable not just for his playing but also for being a fashion figure including in his hairstyles)
Namerou: .........
Dengaku Man: THAT HAIRSTYLE RECALLS THE JAPAN AND KOREA WORLD CUP.
(TN: The "Japan and Korea World Cup" refers to the 2002 World Cup shared between the two nations of Japan and South Korea)
Tennosuke: I'VE GOT IT!! THE CONNECTION BETWEEN BECKHAM AND SOCCER...IT'S THE HAIR THAT HAD THE COST THAT AIMED FOR THE 600 MILLION YEN IN THE TOTO BIG THIS TIME!
(TN: While I couldn't quite pick out the exact reference here, it is well known through media about the super-expensive haircuts David Beckham has that everyone goes wild about. Meanwhile, "Totobig" is in reference to the "BIG" lottery of the company TOTO, where participants have the ability to win up to 600 Million Yen by matching a 14-number combination correctly)
Don Patch & Dengaku Man: THAT'S IT!!
Heppokomaru: QUIET.
Pokomi: ARE WE ONLY GOING TO FIGHT ALREADY? NAMECCHI
Heppokomaru: NAMECCHI!!?
Namerou: Yes...Pokomi.
Heppokomaru: INFORMALLY!!?
(TN: The "informally" comment by Heppokomaru refers to the expression "yomisute", where someone is addressed without a suffix at the end, showing their closeness and an informalness between the two)
Beauty: Those two have been very close friends since long ago.
Heppokomaru: WHAT!? I HADN'T ASKED BUT
Beauty: Even if I didn't want to say it, she is a girl.
Heppokomaru: AND YOU COULDN'T TELL HER BIG BROTHER!?

91.
Heppokomaru: I DON'T APPROVE. YOUR BIG BROTHER ABSOLUTELY DOESN'T APPROVE OF THIS UNCERTAIN RELATIONSHIP!!
Headband: FEELINGS FOR LITTLE SISTER

Don Patch: KYAAAAAAA, I'VE FOUND AN UNDERWEAR THIEF. CATCH HIM, EVERYONE----
Everyone: OK----

Bo-bobo: TAKE THIS, NAMEROU: THIS IS OUR NEW BATTLE STYLE. NEWLY-PLANNED BATTLE FORMATION...
Bo-bobo: SHINSETSU HANAGE SHINKEN CHOUOUGI: ACTIVE ADVENTURE RPG: UNDERWEAR THIEF II
Namerou: GUWAAAAAA!!!

94.
Bo-bobo: HERE, KNEE SCREW, KNEE SCREW
(TN: I really don't know if this is what it really translates to, but Bo-bobo goes "hisabishi" here, with "Hisa" standing for "knee", but "bishi" really not finding with any sort of meaning that I could find. The best I could do is equate it to "bisu", which is Japanese for "screw")
Don Patch: THAT'S BADLY SMART!
Namerou: TEIOU SHINKEN CHOUOUGI: DRAGON-MIND-LIGHT OROCHI!!!
(TN: As mentioned before, "Orochi" is an 8-headed dragon of Japanese myth)
Everyone: GYAAAAAAAAA
Bo-bobo: TENNOSUKE, OPPOSE HIM WITH YOUR OUGI.
Tennosuke: Eh?
Bo-bobo: IF IT'S CALLED OROCHI, THEN YOU TOO HAVE AN OROCHI FIST.
Tennosuke: IMPOSSIBLE, IMPOSSIBLE, IMPOSSIBLE
Bo-bobo: GO WITH IT, I BELIEVE YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO GO WITH IT!!
Tennosuke: PURUPURU SHINKEN OUGI: OROCHI

Bo-bobo: KU, 3RD.
Bo-bobo: IT'S RECKLESS TO SIMULTANEOUSLY FACE THOSE TWO AFTER ALL. (to himself) Both of them are in a different figure until now.
Beauty: EVERYONE...
3rd: BO-BOBO, THERE IS A THING I WANT TO SHOW TO YOU.
Bo-bobo: !
3rd: TAKE THIS
3rd: RED MAGIC SHINKEN CHOUOUGI:

97.
3rd: TSURULINA WORLD!!!!
(TN: The kanji that read "Tsurulina World" here have a reading of "Holy Maruhage Domain/Area")

TN: Great, that's probably just what we really didn't need right now: a complete and utter beat-down by the bad-guys of Bo-bobo's forces. Yeah, we know of how powerful the 3rd is from the last time they faced off...and of course there is the whole matter of the Hair Ball now within him...and let's not forget Namerou is way more powerful than he was even when his Teiou Shinken powers awakened...but at least give Bo-bobo's side a tiny chance of success and getting something through instead of going through this "THEY'RE TOO POWERFUL" bit again. But...that aside, there were a lot of great moments in this chapter that have to be mentioned, including Black Bo-bobo revealing the location of the 3rd, Don Patch's "Manga submission" to Combat Blues and...probably the funniest bit of all: Heppokomaru discovering Pokomi's connection to Namerou. See...I told you that not knowing what his little sister was doing all this time was just going to get both of them in trouble! Yeah...Namerou is an insane evil power now and Pokomi has her memories, but look at Heppokomaru going crazy because of his sister hanging out with possibly one of the most evil characters in the series! Though...the cliffhanger with "Tsurulina World" scares me...considering that after what we've seen with all the Bo-bobo World and other "worlds", having the bad guy create a universe of his own just means trouble...big trouble.
