Succeeding Power! Emperor Namerou
-> RTS Page for Shintetsu Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo 71
What was supposed to be Tsurulina the 3rd's secret weapon was torn apart (literally) by Bo-bobo's own nosehairs! But with one emperor down, there is still another matter...the future emperor who used to be on their side!!!
Shinsetsu 71: Succeeding Power! Emperor Namerou
118.
Caption: TSURULINA WORLD COMPLETELY COLLAPSED
King Nosehair: N---HOW'S THAT BO-BOBO-SAN? MY GREAT ACTIVITY.
Bo-bobo: YOU'RE MASSIVE!!
Don Patch, Tennosuke & King Nosehiar: GYAA
Bo-bobo: ARE YOU SERIOUSLY A NOSEHAIR---
Beauty: DEMON...
Don Patch: PLEASE STOP, EVEN SO, TO THE MAIN CHARACTERS!?
King Nosehair: UUH...
Dengaku Man: APOLOGIZE
Heppokomaru: ...THEY'RE FUTILY COMPLAINING...
Namerou: BOBOPACHI...
119.
3rd: STUPID, YOU'VE BROKEN...TSURULINA WORLD?
3rd: YOU'RE CLEARLY DIFFERENT THAN BEFORE. WHAT EXACTLY IS THIS POWER...?
Bo-bobo: This is power we've been awarded from our teacher...
Bo-bobo: WE'RE THE TORPEDO SAINTS!!!
(TN: While obviously a parody of Masashi Kurumada's famous WSJ series "Saint Seiya", there is a bit more to the joke than you realize. The word used for the announcement of the "Torpedo Saints" in Japanese was "Gyourai Saints". And while "Gyourai" is "Torpedo" in Japanese, it is also close to the English word "Gold", which is in reference the "Gold Saints", the twelve Zodiac-incluenced saints who are the most powerful members of the army of the Goddess Athena)
Beauty: WHAT IS THAT! (The form of Master Torpedo is behind them)
"Torpedo Girl": NOW PLEASE GO, TORPEDO WARRIORS.
Bo-bobo: Shut up--
Don Patch: Die, hey---
"Torpedo Girl": HUH?
SFX: KAPO

Bo-bobo: SHINSETSU HANAGE SHINKEN CHOUOUGI: I CAN'T FORGIVE FOOLISHNESS!!!
3rd: GUOWAAAAAA!!!
3rd: YOUU YOUU-----
3rd: CHOUOUGI: GREAT BLACK MAGIC OF LARGE SPEARS
Bo-bobo: TORPEDO-SENSEI, WE'VE BEEN BROUGHT UP SPLENDIDLY.
Bo-bobo: GOKUAKU ZANKETSU SHINKEN CHOUOUGI: DISORDERLY KABOSU OF OVER!!!! KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL
(TN: A couple reminders:
1. "Kabosu" is a fruit similar to a yuzu or a lemon used in various Japanese dishes.
2. "Gokuaku Zanketsu Shinken", OVER's classic battle style, literally translates into "Fist of Horrible Bloody Murder")
3rd: GUAAAAA
Beauty: HE'S MASTERED THE CRUELEST SHINKEN IN THE WORLD----!!!!
121.
Don Patch: OUR SORT CALLS FRIENDS!! OUR SORT CALLS FRIENDS---!!!
3rd: GUAAA
Beauty: MARUHAGE FOUR HEAVENLY KING'S HALEKULANI...
Namerou: BOBOPACHI, I'M RETURNING THE LOAN FOR THE GASH!!
Tennosuke: TOKOHE-GANG CHOUOUGI: SUMMER'S RAGING PORTABLE-SHRINE FESTIVAL!!!!
(TN: "Portable Shrine" is "Mikoshi", a special shrine used and displayed during shrine festivals in Japan to present the god of said shrine)
Namerou: GOBAA!!
Heppokomaru: I ALSO HAVE A LOAN WITH YOU.
Tennosuke: Hey hey, is this assuming your character popularity?
Heppokomaru: TAKE THIS: KURO ONARA SHINKEN CHOUOUGI...
122.
Pokomi: YOU CAN'T, BIG BROTHER!!
Heppokomaru: GOHA!!
Beauty: HE-KUN
Pokomi: Namecchi...wipe your mouth with this.
Namerou: DON'T CARE ABOUT ME!!
Pokomi: KYA
Heppokomaru: THAT BRAT----WHAT IS HE DOING TO MY LITTLE SISTER?
Beauty: CALM...DOWN A BIT...
Namerou: 3rd, hand over your power.
Namerou: I'LL KILL ALL OF THEM WITHOUT LEAVING ONE.
3rd: CAN YOU COMMAND THE BLOOD OF AN EMPEROR, NAMEROU? FINE
123.
3rd: ACCEPT IT!!!
Namerou: KUOOO
Don Patch: I'll do it with Mekabu.
(TN: "Mekabu" is the wild sprouts of wakame seaweed, used dried up in soups, salad and garnish)
Tennosuke: SEW IT ON
Namerou: THOSE WHO DEFY THE EMPEROR DIES.
124.
Bo-bobo: NAMEROU, I'LL SEND YOU A YELL TO YOUR SORROWFUL DESTINY.
Bo-bobo: SHINSETSU HANAGE SHINKEN CHOUOUGI: HOT-BLOODED YELLING SOUL!! FIGHT, OUENDAN!!!
(TN: Bo-bobo's attack name is a weird parody and homage to the 2007 Nintendo DS video game "Moero!! Nekketsu Rhythm Damashii Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan 2!!!" by iNiS. The game series, of which this is the sequel to the original "Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan!!" game, involves a cheering brigade "cheering" along others to succeed with their duties through bizarre dance routines that you control with your stylist. The game was semi-transferred to the US through the similarly bizarre "Elite Beat Agents")
Don Patch: OSU OSU OSU OSU OSU OSU!!
Don Patch: A CHEERING RUSH WITH A ROLLING REVOLUTION. OSUSUSUSUSUSUSU!!!
Wheel: HAJIKE
Announcer: CHEER GREATLY SUCCESSFUL!!!
Caption: STAGE CLEAR
Beauty: YOU HAVEN'T SENT EVEN ONE YELL TO HIM.
125.
Tennosuke: HUH
Don Patch: BLOODTHIRST!!
Don Patch: ESCAPE
Bo-bobo: WHAT!!! UNESCAPABLE HANAGE SHINKEN CHOUOUGI: GAL CIRCLE 2007!!!
Bo-bobo: HE--RE! FEEDING TIME
Don Patch: STUPID! WE CAN'T HAVE THIS SITUATION...NAMEROU WILL---!!
Namerou: Die
Namerou: TEIOU SHINKEN CHOUOUGI: KAISER DRAGON!!!
(TN: Literal translation of "Kaiser Dragon" = "Emperor Dragon Blow")
Don Patch: VEGE,,,GUWAAAA---!!!
Heppokomaru: NAPPA!!!?
(TN: The "situation" Don Patch is parodying that Heppokomaru picked up on is the murder of Nappa by his partner Vegeta during the Saiyan arc of "Dragon Ball", done so with no remorse after his failure to defeat Goku after wiping the floor with all of his friends)
126.
Beauty: BO-BOBO
Bo-bobo: OUGI: DUMMY GUARD
Dengaku Man: ARE YOU FINE IN FORGIVING THAT OPPRESSION---
Namerou: TEIOU SHINKEN SAISHUU CHOUZETSU OUGI (out loud) IT'S OVER, BOBOPACHI
(TN: "Saishuu Chouzetsu" = "Final Transcendent", AKA: "Fist of Emperor Final Transcendent Secret")
Namerou: CRAWL IN HIS BODY, EARTH-DRAGON ENERGY!!!
(TN: "Earth-Dragon Energy" is a literal translation of "Chiryuuki", the attack Namerou just sent into Bo-bobo)
Bo-bobo: GUAA, ENERGY IS RUNNING AROUND IN MY BODY
127.
Namerou: BURST OUT----HEAVEN-DRAGON ENERGY
(TN: Likewise, "Heaven-Dragon Energy" is "Tenryuuki")
Namerou: THOUSAND-DRAGON DIVERGENCE!!!
Bo-bobo: BAABON!!!!
Bo-bobo: GAAAAAAAAA
Don Patch: PRETTY FIREWORKS
Tennosuke: IT'S SUMMER~~~
Beauty: THIS ISN'T THE SITUATION FOR THAT
Heppokomaru: BO-BOBO-SAN
128.
Bo-bobo: KEHO
Namerou: Scatter, Bobopachi
Beauty: BO-BOBO
Namerou: LIGHT-DRAGON ENERGY!!!
(TN: In this case, "Light-Dragon Energy" = "Kouryuuki")
Bo-bobo: ...I'VE CAUGHT YOU, NAMEROU...I'M PAYING IT BACK DOUBLE
Bo-bobo: DO IT, POKOMI!!
Pokomi: YEP
Namerou: !!
Namerou: HEY!
Bo-bobo: HAFU
Pokomi: HERE WE GO----
129.
Pokomi: MAGICAL LOVELY SHINKEN CHOUOUGI: POKOMI'S SCRIBBLE - CANNON WAVE!!!
(TN: No you're not mistaking this: Pokomi at this point says not her typical "Lovely Magical" but "Magical Lovely". It's tough to say if this was a mistake by Sawai or intentional, but I'll leave it as is at this point)
Namerou: UWAAAAA
Namerou: WHAT ARE THESE CREATURES?
"Drawing": LICKING LICKING
Namerou: IS THAT ME!?
Pokomi: NAMECCHI, PLEASE: RETURN TO LIKE YOU WERE BEFORE
Don Patch: DORYA----THE REST WILL BE LEFT TO US, POKOMI
Bo-bobo: AN EYE FOR AN EYE AND AN AURA FOR AN AURA
130.
Bo-bobo: SHINSETSU HANAGE SHINKEN CHOUOUGI: THE WAVE THAT BEGINS THE TONKATSU REVOLUTION----!!!
(TN: "Tonkatsu" is a popular pork dish in Japan involving deep-fried pork cutlets chopped into pieces and served with sauce, cabbage and miso soup)
Namerou: IS THIS GOING TO BE AN AURA BATTLE? THAT'S FUTILE! THAT DEGREE WON'T REMOVE THE EMPEROR'S ARMOR
(TN: "Remove" is actually "Hagareru" which is "unstick", but since "removing armor" made more sense, I made it as such for the translation here)
Namerou: WHAT?
Bo-bobo: CONTINUING, SHINSETSU HANAGE SHINKEN CHOUOUGI: THE WAVE THAT STARTS FORMULA 1 JAPAN!!!
(TN: As probably mentioned before, "Formula 1" is a type of car racing that is popular in most of the world involving single-seater cars stearing around intricate tracks. Japan is always active within the racing circuit and has a race nearly every race as part of the circuit)
Namerou: GYAAAAAAAAA!!
Beauty: THAT'S F-1----!!!
131.
Bo-bobo, Don Patch & Tennosuke: KA - ME - HA - ME
Bo-bobo, Don Patch & Tennosuke: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
(TN: Obviously this is based on the classic "Dragon Ball" attack...though involving bullets for some reason or another)
Beauty: THIS ISN'T A DREAM: THAT'S NOT THE KAMEHAMEHA!
Tennosuke: SEAFOOD TURBAN-SHELL ATTACK! TURBAN SHELL ATTACK!!
(TN: The seafood that comes from the turban-shell mollusc of Turbo marmoratus is actual seafood within Japanese culture)
Bo-bobo: WHAT IS THAT----!!
Beauty: NOT ONE OF THOSE WERE AURA!!!
Namerou: GAHAAHAA...HAA, WHY!?...I AM EMPEROR!! THE AURA OF AN EMPEROR SHOULD BE ABSOLUTE, WHY HAS IT BEEN SURPASSED!?
Bo-bobo: YOU IDIOT! VERY CHEAP AURA THAT JUST CLINGS TO THE TITLE OF "EMPEROR" HAS NO EFFECT ON US.
Bo-bobo: WAKE UP, NAMEROU
132.
Bo-bobo: SHINSETSU HANAGE SHINKEN SAISHUU OUGI: THE BEAUTY OF JAPAN
(TN: The kanji reading for "The Beauty of Japan" is "Hair Power")
Namerou: GUWAAAAAAAAAA
133
Namerou: GAHAA
3rd: STAND, NAMEROU: THE COMPLETE DEFEAT OF AN EMPEROR IS UNFORGIVABLE
3rd: STAND!!
Namerou: GUGU...
Bo-bobo: IS LIVING AS THE 3RD PUPPET YOUR WHOLE LIFE THE PATH YOU DESIRE?
Namerou: !!
Bo-bobo: ...YOU AREN'T SOME TSURULINA THE 5TH. YOU'RE OUR ALLY.
Bo-bobo: COME ON BACK, NAMEROU.
Don Patch: I can't have that.
Tennosuke: He should appear on "The Fuccons".
(TN: Tennosuke's comment about "The Fuccons" is in reference to the Japanese TV show "Oh! Mikey", also known in the US as "The Fuccons", a popular and infamous Japanese series starring mannequin dolls involving an American boy with a "plastic smile" who lives with his parents in Japan)
Beauty: ...
TN: Well...at least the story is approaching climax with this chapter. That's...really all I can really say about this for the moment due to all that's going on. There were quite a few fun moments in this chapter in this chapter that show that Bo-bobo is still Bo-bobo, including the "Saint Seiya" bit, the OVER/Halekulani reference, the Ouendan bit and Pokomi's weird scribble attack. But on the other hand...while the chapter in itself was alright, I guess it's really hard to take this climax seriously because...well, of how awesome it was the first time with the final battle with Bi-bibi. That climax, particularly when Bo-bobo came back to life with a giant truck possessing Landmine Dandy's power was just epic in it's approach and had a great balance regarding the awesome moments, the tragic moments and the hilariously insane moments. This climax...well, aside from the whole "Namerou" factor, just feels all over the place like Sawai was trying his best to smush as much as he wanted to do at the end of this arc in a couple chapters. I mean there are a lot of cool moments, but they just seem to be thrusted one after another with little real recovery to take it in and appreciate it. That...and the whole excuse as to why Namerou's powers finally failed really didn't work too well to me. Bo-bobo and the others did all the weird stuff last time (when Namerou's power was just awakening and they hadn't gone to Torpedo Girl yet) and nothing happened...and now they're able to smash through it one moment at a time and just say the "Emperor Aura" is cheap? If it was after a long struggle, I could sort of accept the excuse, but somehow with this chapter...it's just hard for me to do so. Heck, even the factor that Namerou literally got the remaining power of the 3rd just to do what he did...and fail at it...maybe if Sawai had more time, it would have been epic and awesome like the end of the first part but...here it's just passible. But of course, it's not quite over just yet...I mean, Namerou still has to make his final decision on his future...and yeah, there's still the 3rd.
