Bobobo-bo bo-bobo 181

Crimson's movie career may have been cut short, but with Halekulani going crazy and Tennosuke...being Tennosuke, Bo-bobo has little time left to stop the Under-Maruhage warrior! Place your bets now because this next chapter may break the bank!

Ougi 181: Gambling Shaking Bull-Docking Headlock!!
(TN: The actual Japanese title is a pun using “buru” in unique and interesting ways. The full title in Japanese is “Gyanburu Buruburu Burudokkingu Heddorokku!!” The first “buru” is the ending of “gyanburu”, which is obviously the English word “gamble”. The second and third create the word “buruburu”, an onomatopoeia for “shaking or trembling”. While the final “buru” is the English word “bull” as in “bull-docking headlock”. (That technique, BTW, is one used by Terryman in “Kinnikuman”.) Due to all the “buru” in the title, it’s nearly imposslbe to replicate in English…but I tried to make do using the word “ing” at the end of all the setups)

Don Patch: OH NO! HALEKULANI HAS ENTERED “NO-MONEY MODE”-AGO!! HEAR WE GO—
(TN: Don Patch is emphasizing “Ago”, which is Japanese for “chin” (and obviously dressed as OVER due to his…well, chin). While I know I misspelled “here” in “Here we go”, it was the only way to make the “Ago” bit work in his intro)

Hatenko: I’LL KILL YOU…
Don Patch: LIZHI…
(TN: In Japanese Mahjong, the declaration of “Lizhi” (also spelled as “riichi” or just “reach”) is one where the player will continue to draw and discard tiles unless the tiles they draw constitute a win, particularly when they have a hand that is near victory except one tile. Winning after a lizhi declaration can lead to bonus points, but can lead to a penalty if one who declares it loses)

-Mebaru: Fish of the “Sebastidae” family, which include rockfish, rockcod and thornyheads
-Fugu: The pufferfish usually used for sushi with the infamous poison within them, which is caused by the tetrodotoxin bacteria
-Karei: Compared to “hirame”, which I translated as “flounder”, Karei is fish of the “pleuronectidae” family, another species of flounder known for having both their eyes on the right side of their body
-Sazae: a genus of sea-snails known for their rounded shells, also known as “turban snails”)

SFX: PAAAA
Beauty: Eh?
Beauty: HEY, WHAT WAS THAT NOW? DID HE DIE? DID HE REALLY DIE?
Heppokomaru: I DON’T UNDERSTAND! WAS THAT A TRIPLE-STRENGTH FUSION? BO-BOBO SA-----N

TN: And that's why Kintenbo is a legendary gambler...he's really a supernatural evil angel who somehow or another may or may not really be Bo-bobo! (well he probably is but that ending did seem to suggest other things) You can really tell how much fun Sawai had with this chapter with all the bizarre and creative gambling methods the new triple fusion used to his advantage. Heck, the Russian Roulette bit was probably the biggest highlight: while the others were sort of obvious on the odds being stacked for Kintenbo and against the others, just seeing him claim that a 6 out of 6 chance of death in Russian Roulette and then seeing both the fusion and Don Patch screw with Crimson even further with real (sort of) Russian Roulette was great stuff. Another more humbling highlight was Tennosuke's "oden memory"...yeah, he probably learned money was evil when he fought Halekulani last time but just to see those weird memories and getting forgiveness just as he's used as materials for a fusion showed...well, he's not that cold...a wobbily cold dessert, yes, but not heartless. Meanwhile, with Crimson and his lackeys gone...well, can anyone really explain what Two-Gun G was for anyway? I mean, even Chef Lin was weird enough to take part in some of the gags in this fight but that third guy did nothing! Is the Under-Maruhage that desperate for help? Well speaking of theUnder Maruhage...we've only got one more of their Heavenly Kings...but we'll deal with her next time! (and trust me: with how LOVE is saved for last of those four...not counting the other two of Hydrate's men, she has to have something the others don't)

Note: The following chapter was a fictionalized account on gambling and should not be taken seriously in any way, shape and form. Gambling can be fun but if you are addicted, then don't blame me for bringing it back up in your head. All of these games were really bizarre and weird and you really shouldn't try any of them at home, especially Zetsubou's bingo card. If you do have a gambling addiction, please seek treatment or you'll end up like either Don Patch or Crimson...though working in a casino with Tennosuke-like warriors may not be too bad I probably think they'll only pay you minimum wage.
