Bobobo-bo bo-bobo 167

Nenchaku: My tape is applied with “Super Nenchaku Sticky Glue”. It’s over when it’s in your body…you’ll become sticky and melt~~
(TN: There’s a slight pun regarding Nenchaku’s attack and the explanation. The attack uses the word “Never”, which in Japanese is pronounced “Nebaa”. However, “neba” also is connected to the “neba” which is Japanese for “sticky”, such as the verb “nebaru”, or “to stick” or “nebaneba”, which is “stickiness”. Though I didn’t name the technique “sticky end” cause using “never end” makes the pun work better in Japanese)

"Three Eyes": THAT'S GOOD...OUR DECIDED TARGET WILL BE THE NOSEHAIR. FOR THE UNDER MARUHAGE FOUR HEAVENLY KINGS
(TN: And here we finally get that term: "Ura Maruhage". There is many interpretations regarding the term "ura", including "reverse" [thus why many use the term "Reverse Maruhage", including myself], "wrong", "back", "opposite", "under", "final" and many others. While many translators will probably call them "Reverse Maruhage" or even "Shadow Maruhage" as they did in the dub [Well OK, the dub used "Shadow Chrome-Dome" but same thing], the term I will be using from here on is "Under Maruhage" since...well, that will be revealed when the time comes)

TN: Somehow, I don't know how or where this feeling comes from...but these last two chapter have just felt so natural, as if this is always what Bo-bobo has been about. Many of what is going on here is probably familiar: a surreal setting, a battle against an unspeakable enemy, weird abilities, a powerful show-stopping finale...I know Bo-bobo wasn't always this way but I just feel how natural it is at this point. This is what happens when an author like Sawai finally really knows what he's doing and just takes his battles and his comedy to new limits...I guess while I love the early bits from the fights with Tennosuke and Gunkan and maybe even earlier, seeing this sort of fight against Nenchaku (who BTW has a neat ability but not one of my favorite characters) just flows with what I expect..and I love every minute. Heck, the highlight of the first chapter in this set is when the Bo-bobo/Don Patch/Tennosuke trio turn into goo...and while we've seen fusions before, seeing their bodies mix and match into these crazy combinations was a ton of fun...especially at the point even the voices got all mixed up! (which probably works better in the anime BTW) As for the second chapter...yeah, I think a lot of Japanese TV is like that. I really haven't studied it enough and really should have left notes regarding all the varieties of programming out there but the chapter speaks for itself. You literally can go from a light morning program to educational kids shows, afternoon talk, romantic soap-opera, cooking show, anime to the golden hour (which I think is 7-10) of investigative reporting and dramas and to the late-night news...all on one channel in one day! I do have one apology though: regarding that "soap opera romance" sequence, I really know I screwed it up somehow or another. The name of the show and character is "Tokorote Fujin", but "fujin" is a "wife" or "Mrs." or even a female lover. With what appeared to be Tennosuke as a bishonenous male character, I had a hard time with it...my guess is it's a reference to some show that was on the air at that mid-afternoon time, but don't ask me what. Oh, and don't forget about that ending with those four new characters...at least we finally get the real quartet instead of...whatever was with that creepy faced guy prior. But of course, those four in the Under Maruhage will be taken care of as we get to them! (but for now let's just call them as they are: Demon Boy, Three-Eyes, Silhouette and...um, Three Sacks?)
