Bobobo-bo bo-bobo 180

Scene 180: Facing a Sangaria where the opponent chooses his fighters, Crimson chose the unlikely trio of Bo-bobo, Tennosuke and Halekulani to face his trio! But with hero trio making initial damage, the three-eyes decides to reveal the true power of the stage...and the true power of his Yamiken!

Bo-bobo: THURSDAY THE 14TH!! 14TH—14TH—
(TN: While it’s obvious that Bo-bobo is mocking Jason from the “Friday the 13th” franchise, his appearance is a bit more like Rick Taylor, the tragic hero connected to the Namco video game franchise “Splatterhouse”…who not coincidentally looks like Jason but more hulking and with the meat cleaver)
SFX: SLASH
Tennosuke & Halekulani: GUWAAAAA—
Beauty: THAT’S A HORROR MOVIE!!
Bo-bobo: SORROWFUL REPOSSESION ATTACK!!! Give back……MY GIRL—
(TN: Keeping it more like “Splatterhouse” than “Friday the 13th, Bo-bobo is referring to the protagonist fighting to save his girlfriend…who actually is killed by him in the first game after she is turned into one of the villain’s monstrosities)
SFX: ZUGASHA—N

Crimson: WHAT? THAT’S A LARGE NUMBER OF SQUID
Halekulani: WHAT THAT’S SUPPOSED TO BE, BO-BOBO?
Bo-bobo: I’ll explain later. They need a thousand yen each for expenses.
Halekulani: FINE, HERE!!
Bo-bobo: RIGHT, LET’S GO: HANAGE GORGEOUS KYOURYOKU OUGI: A LOT OF SQUIDS WITH THOUSANDS!!!
(TN: This is a weird pun but work with me: the full name of the attack is “Ikkaku Senkin”, with “Ikkaku” usually standing for here “a lot” or “a lump”. But just when you’d think the attack is “A lot of thousands”, Bo-bobo uses squids, which in Japanese is “ika”. Thus he fuses “ikkaku” with the “ika” for “squid”, making it “a lot of squids with thousands” in translation…the pun worked better in Japanese but I tried)
SFX: WHIRRRL
Crimson: GUOWARA
Beauty: AN INCREDIBLE OUGI APPEARED--!!!

Crimson: …INTERESTING…I’LL LOOK WITH MY OUGI.

Caption: BOEI
(TN: This panel is a parody of the opening title card used by Toei for the opening of all their movies: waves crashing on rocks as the logo for the company zooms in. Not coincidentally, Bo-bobo’s anime was created by Toei…but no movie sadly)
SFX: ZAPA—N
Bo-bobo: NOW PROJECT!!!
Narration: THEY WERE DEMONS FROM THE DAY THEY WERE BORN…

Crimson: WHAT? WERE THESE GUYS CREATED BY THE MOVIE WORLD?
Narration: THEY WEREN’T CREATED EITHER.
Narration: THEY MERELY SLAUGHTER OVER AND OVER.
Tennosuke: I STEPPED ON A CAT, I STEPPED ON A CAT
(TN: The song Tennosuke is “singing” is “Neko Funjatta”, which translates into “I Stepped on a Cat”. It is a simple piano piece also known as “Der Flohwalzer” (Flea Waltz) in German and has been retranslated not just in Japanese but all over the world.)

Everyone: !!
OVER: THIS IS BAD! HE’S ENTERED NO-MONEY MODE
Beauty: SOMETHING’S STARTING?
Don Patch: NOW—HERE’S WHERE I’LL APPEAR!!
SFX: ZAP ZAP ZAP SLUMP

TN: Sometimes I really need to figure out the difference between which is the song and which is the narration. When I saw that there was a JASRAC-licensed song, I figured it was all that narration regarding the Tennosuke robots...but it was simply that horrible piano playing! (well Don Patch did have that whole Beethoven bit way back in the Pana fight so I guess it was Tennosuke's turn) Outside that, I found Crimson's true ability interesting, creating virtual worlds to trap people in inescapable situations...of course Bo-bobo did defeat them with a similar world but...due to his weirdness he made a real movie with Halekulani's funding. And of course...you can obviously see Don Patch is desperate to appear to get zapped over and over with Crimson's gate. All in all, a fun chapter with...well, who knows what will happen next time...but place your bets now! (slight hint)
