Bo-bobo: HANAGE SHINKEN BAKKYUN CHOUOUGI: BO-BOBO MONSTER HOUSE!!!!
(TN: The equivalent of “Bakkyun” in English is “Vavoom”. As for the Shinken name, the Kanji translate into “Holy Nosehair Kaijin-Gang Lamenting Fabric”)
SFX: BUON
Kanji: AKU (EVIL)
Deus: WHAT IS THIS WORLD!?
Invi: WHAT?
Bo-bobo: IF ALL OF YOU ACT LIKE SENTAI OF JUSTICE, WE’RE BECOMING KAIJIN!!
(TN: “Kaijin” typically stands for “phantom” or “mystery person”, but in the terms of Japanese culture, a “kaijin” is a “humanoid monster” such as many sentai monsters or even sometimes characters such as Frankenstein’s Monster, which are compared to the “kaiju”, who are the “non-humanoid monsters” such as Gojira/Godzilla and his ilk)
Bo-bobo: FIRST IS ENTRY#1: “FRIED PRAWN KAIJIN CRAB BATTER BEAM”!!
(TN: Though known as “ebifurai” in Japanese, we’re just going to refer to them as “fried prawns” or “Fried shrimp”. Secondly, Bo-bobo’s attack is a bit of a pun: the full attack “Kani Korobiimu”, includes the section “Korobi”, which is Japanese for “batter”, thus flowing into the “beam” part with the “korobi”)
SFX: KA / BOOOO
Invi, Pigmuck & Garuhei: KYAAA
Beauty: KYAAAA, BO-BOBO’S BECOME AN INCREDIBLE KAIJIN!!

(TN: “Ura-Harajuku”, also known as “Ura-Hara”, is a collection of small stores and boutiques in and around Harajuku Station, which is notable for it’s youth style & fashion such as gothloli, visual kei, hip-hop, punk and rockabily)
Bo-bobo: KAIJIN SENTAI FABULOUS!!!

Invi: HEY…WHAT ARE THEY? THOSE GUY’S FORMS CHANGED TWICE
Pigmuck: THIS IS THE POWER OF THE FIVE GREAT HAIR SHINKEN…

Tennosuke: MY TURN---!!......UM, WHAT? WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING!?
Sign: MA-NU-KE (IDIOT)
(TN: The “Nu” joke pretty much had to stay as is: Bo-bobo & Don Patch turned “Nu” to “Manuke”, which is “idiot” or “fool” or “blockhead”, and since it only works in Japanese due to “nu”, I had to keep it as is)

Beauty: !!
Caption: BOBOBO RANGERS—TO BE CONTINUED
SFX: BO—OM
Beauty: WHAT’S THAT ENDING!?

TN: I still think Sawai is trying to keep me on my toes: just like that one chapter against Lambada, I go from hardly any cultural connections for chapters on end...and then have a ton of them all at once! Kaiju and kaijin culture is a big thing both in Japan and in the US so a whole lot was going on that we needed to address...not to mention all those language jokes and things such as Rokugo! I still think there are plenty of things I need to get into, like maybe some shows that involved a lot of these weird creatures (or even that thing Bo-bobo became at the end)...but strangely enough I think this whole sequence was the latest reference in one of the GBA games. (it's weird: they never had any references to Under-Maruhage or Hair Kingdom outside the weird situation with Yami Yasha/Sambaman, but had some of the "kaijuu" as a pic on one of the games) At least with the sentai squad taken care of, we can finally move into the Hair Kingdom next time...where things get interesting.
