Bobobo-bo bo-bobo 201

With the guidance of Bo-bobo's big sister Bu-bubu (even if she looks like...her), Bo-bobo's squad heads forth to their first stop to reach towards facing their big brother Bi-bibi! But the 16 Hatsumou Shishi Divisions aren't going to let those towers fall without a fight!

Ougi 201: It—‘s the “Kesshii * Keshi Keshi Battle”

55.
Narrator: ~~Summary~~In order to them to turn all the switches off of the “4 Hair Towers”, Bo-bobo’s team has first infiltrated the South Rinse Tower!!
Bu-bubu: I’M BU-BUBU!
SFX: KYAPI
Beauty: HEY…THEY CAN’T SEE THE DRAWING BEHIND YOU!!
Narrator: And here’s what Dengaku Man said.
Dengaku Man: I’LL SEE YOU IN COURT.
Narrator: ……and
Beauty: I DON’T KNOW.
7th: WATCH THIS GREAT SHOW BY WAY OF MY BIRYUUSHI SHINKEN. ASSEMBLE, PARTICLES.
(TN: The 7th Division’s Commander’s Shinken is “Biryuushi Shinken”, with “Biryuushi” referring to “miniscule particles”, while the “Assemble, particles” part had him mention “Ryuushi”, which are just “particles”. Think of it like this: a particle is a small level object, with many smaller objects within the particle, thus the Shinken allows for him to control the smaller level to create the bigger particles and, likewise, objects even bigger than the particles themselves)
SFX: SHUUUUU
7th: BIRYUUSHI SHINKEN OUGI: STAGE CREATE!!! NOW, LET’S BEGIN THE KESSHII * KESHI KESHI BATTLE ON THIS SPECIAL “FIRE” RING!!
SFX: BAN
Tennosuke: Hot hot.
SFX: FLAP FLAP
Beauty: THIS BATTLEFIELD HAS THE NEW RULES………WHAT SORT OF BATTLE WILL THIS BE!? HUH, BO-BOBO
Bo-bobo: DO I KNOW!! THESE NEW RULES HAVE COME AND THIS WORLD HAS THE HOT RULES FROM PACHINKO!! (Uooo, Violent Hot Reach!!)
(TN: Bo-bobo’s comment, “Violent Hot Reach” or “Geki Atsu Reach”, is related to a rule or a style of play in pachinko)
SFX: JARA JARA JARA JARA JARA JARA JARA JARA JARA JARA
Don Match: BALLS BALLS BALLS~~~~
Beauty: DON’T BE RIDICULOUS, ANSWER SERIOUSLY!!!

Don Patch: CASH PAYOUT X 2
SFX: SHUDDER SHUDDER WOBBLE WOBBLE
Bo-bobo: WAAAAA

SFX: BAN

Lunac: I CAN’T SEE YOU WITH THESE EYEPATCHES, YES SIR!!
Caption: 13th Division Commander: COMMANDER LUNAC
(TN: The 13th Division Commander’s name includes the title “Taisa”, which can either be a “Commander” or a “Captain” in the Navy. I decided to go with Commander)
Beauty: ONE OF THEM IS ABSENT WITH A COLD!? IS IT JUST THE DOUBLE-EYEPATCHES OR ARE THEY ALL STRANGE---!!!
Bu-bubu: You shouldn’t make fun of us! The 16 Hatsumou Shishi Divisions are elite soldiers that have bought the trust of Bi-bibi. Even within them, 1st~6th division are at a different level. Thus they chose first to compose of just commanders from 7th and below for this tower. You’re going to have a lot of trouble here and we shouldn’t have much trouble getting to our brothers.
SFX: BABANG BABANG BABANG
Bo-bobo, Don Patch & Tennosuke: That thought is correct!

57.
Fine: YOU’RE UNDERESTIMATING US, BU-BUBU-CHAN. Hurry and send out the four we’re going to knock off…
SFX: PIKI
Lunac: I REGRET BEING UNDERESTIMATED, YES SIR!!!
Bu-bubu: That’s…Do I have to decide at my discretion who’s in this important first fight…Is this what I should do…
Bo-bobo: ME
Don Match: ME!
Tennosuke: ME!
Torpedo Girl: ME
Bu-bubu: YOU AND YOU AN YOU-----!!!! (No excuses!!)
SFX: WHAM WHAM WHAM / KYON!! KYON!!
Talismans: Decision
Beauty: SHE SWIFTLY CHOSE---!!! (And why in Jiang Shi-style!?)
(TN: “Jiang Shi”, known in Japanese as “Kyonshi” and with the nickname of “Chinese vampires” (though more like a combination of vampires and zombies), is a reanimated corpse who hops around in search of “qi” or “life essence”. Bu-bubu is using talisman to “stop” them, which is usually the main means to stop a Jiang Shi in many pop-culture references)
Bu-bubu: THE REST ALL GO TO THE GALLERY!
Torpedo Girl: CHI
Tennosuke: MILK’S COMING OUT OF MY NOSE!!
SFX: CHARARI—
Beauty: ONE’S MIXED IT UP WITH CHARARI!!
(TN: Of course this is a language joke: “Charari” is a SFX used for milk coming out of a person’s nose. Sort of had to keep it as is)
Bu-bubu: NOW, LET’S GO!
SFX: PAAAA
Bu-bubu: WE’RE MECHANIC-TYPE ANGELS WHO SWOOPED DOWN FROM THE HEAVENS: MEET TEAM “ANGEL”!!!
SFX: BAN

Red K & Blue D: OUT OF THE WAY, OUT OF THE WAY--!!
SFX: ZUGAGAGA

Bu-bubu: THIS “KESSHI KESHI KESHI BATTLE” IS A TURN-STYLE MUTUAL LEADER/COMRADE FIGHT. THOSE OUTSIDE THE LEADER ARE SUPPORTERS AND TAKE TURNS IN BACKING HIM! THE SUPPORTERS WON’T FORGIVE THEIR OWN PERSONAL OFFENSE AND DEFENSE! IT’S ALL FROM THE LEADER’S DIRECTIONS!!!

Don Patch: SOME RELATION!!
SFX: POP
Red K & Blue D: AAH………
Red K: BRUSH MY HAIR, NYAN!
Blue D: WE’RE MOE-NYAN!
(TN: “Moe” is a Japanese term regarding a passion held with certain things, but in this case involves a certain type of extremely cute in appearance and action female characters that people tend to be drawn to protect with little or no maturity.)

Red K: HERE’S THE COFFEE YOU’VE WAITED FOR, MASTER!
Don Patch: …
Blue D: PLEASE TELL US YOUR ORDER-NYAN!
SFX: CLUNK

Caption: TO BE CONTINUED

TN: I don't know what's more shocking in this insane battle, that Commander Lunac would be brutally drained by Bu-bubu's armpit hair...or that two of Fine's associates are moe-style maid-girls who "nya" a lot. (of course we didn't see much of them...this time) Regardless, it's sad to see that of the enemies this time around, the leader Fine is probably the only one of them that really has no impact anywhere: while the other three are weird, wacky or silly, he's just a typical villain who intimidates the enemy and gets shocked when things don't go his way. (on the other hand I still wonder why the heck Heppokomaru was chosen considering he's done little to nothing in this fight so far and will probably not get any better as the fight goes on) On the other hand...you have to feel really sorry for Lunac for everything he's put up with in this battle so far. Here we have one of the great weird characters of this world (with probably one of the most disturbed Shinken yet: who the heck would create fairy soldiers?) and he's being pulled on both side by both Bu-bubu and Fine when he just wants to do his job. Well sure, he is the weakest of the four there considering he's 13th Division but...even he deserves a bit of respect. On the other hand, the biggest lesson of the chapter is simple: never mess with Bu-bubu...EVER! (well at least when she's in a "good" mood)
