124.
Narrator: On the other hand, at that time, Bo-bobo & Don Patch assaulted West Shampoo Tower, dragging Be-bebe with…

Caption: THE FEELING OF BEING MIXED UP WITH DURIAN IS THE FRIEZA ARC: by HOUSEWIFE PATCH
Don Patch: THAT VEGETA
(TN: This is actually a silly double reference: “Durian” is a fruit of the Durio tree found in Southeast Asia notable for its spiky exterior and a fleshy inside with a pungent odor. At the same time, they are also somewhat referring to Frieza minion Dodoria from DBZ, who, not ironically, also has a spiky appearance and, as Don Patch implies, has problems due to his own mistrust of fellow Frieza minion (well at the time) Vegeta.)
Be-bebe: YOU’RE RIDICULOUS YOU STUPID LITTLE BRO--!!!

Pigs: BU—BU—BU—
Wasabeef: YOU, HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO MY PIGS……UNFORGIVABLE!!! BUHITTONE SHINKEN OUGI…
(TN: “Buhittone” is a weird expression that could either be the sound made by “short-faced” creatures, usually pigs (since “buhi” is sometimes used as a pig’s squeal) or an expression for those with the small faces like pigs as well as small-muzzled dogs such as bulldogs or pugs)
Wasabeef: HELL COUNTDOWN!!!
SFX: PIKON
Don Patch: THAT FACE WERE NUMBERS!!

(TN: “Sokubaku” = “restrictions”, “binding” or “shackles”)

Gokurakuchou: Fu…that was fun. It’s time for “that man” to come.
Bo-bobo & Be-bebe: !
Voice: KAMINOKE SHINKEN!!!!
(TN: “Kaminoke” is Japanese for “Head Hair” or “hair on the head”, thus…well, it should be obvious)
SFX: SHUGOOOOOOO
Gokurakuchou: Let me tell you…I am the container for that man…I’m neither above or below him.

Be-bebe: HIS AURA IS SWELLING UP!! HEY, THAT AURA CAN’T BE…
Bo-bobo: I’M CERTAIN OF THIS BRUTAL FEELING
Don Patch: WHO? WHO? DO I KNOW HIM?
Voice: ……Fu……The sensation of entry is great…
Bi-bibi: YO, IT’S BEEN TWENTY YEARS, MY CUTE LITTLE BROTHERS. YOU KNEW FROM A GLANCE……WITH THOSE STUPID FACES. I can’t believe even Be-bebe’s come back…
SFX: ZUZUZUZU

134.
Bo-bobo & Be-bebe: BIG BROTHER BIBIBI-BI BI-BIBI!!!!
Bo-bobo: EH?...BUT WHY HAS BIG BRO…? TAKEN THAT FORM?.........
Bi-bibi: Idiots, I’m merely borrowing his body. I wanted to pick out my daughters’ presents in person.
Bi-bibi: But then, shouldn’t I be greeting you for coming back? N?
Be-bebe: ……..I’M…I’M SORRY
SFX: RATTLE RATTLE RATTLE RATTLE
Don Patch: Wha…that strong Be-bebe has gotten shaky.
SFX: RATTLE RATTLE RATTLE RATTLE…
Don Patch: THAT’S…BO-BOBO TOO!?
SFX: RATTLE RATTLE…RATTLE RATTLE…RATTLE RATTLE…
Don Patch: WOW!!! IT’S JUST A PUZZLE?

135.
Bi-bibi: Bo-bobo, you’ve known about me from Bu-bubu……this is your farewell. Be-bebe…have you come here too to turn against me?
(TN: The “this is your farewell” has a side reading of “I’ll kill you”, which obviously shows Bi-bibi’s intention)
Be-bebe: NO!! YOU’VE MISUNDERSTOOD…BIG BRO! I WANT TO GIVE MY POWER TO BI-BIBI’S SIDE…
Don Patch: This is what Be-bebe said to me a few days ago…
Bi-bibi: !
Don Patch: WHA!?.........
Don Patch: “BIBIBI-BI BI-BIBI IS A FOOL LIKE NEZUMI OTOKO!!!”, THAT’S WHAT!!!!
(TN: “Nezumi Otoko” is referring to the character from Shigeru Mizuki’s classic manga/anime franchise “Gegege no Kitaro”. He is a filthy yokai/human halfbreed who usually works alongside Kitaro but usually cooks up schemes to make money due to his cowardly behavior)
SFX: SLAM SLAM SLAM
Be-bebe: WHAT IS HE CREATING ON HIS OWN, THAT SPIKED BRAT!!!! (Don’t joke with him--!!)
Don Patch: AND THIS IS BE-BEBE’S ANGER--!!!
SFX: SLA—P
Be-bebe: HE HIT HIM----!!!
Bo-bobo: IN TRUTH, UHUH…UHUH………BIG BRO BE-BEBE IS FORCINGLY LEADING US TO CREATE THE WAKAME KINGDOM…
Be-bebe: WHAT!!?
Bi-bibi: Be-bebe, I’ll kill you too.

TN: I think this is the kind of situation that makes you sympathetic for Be-bebe...but not completely over the top regarding him. All he wanted was to help Bi-bibi a bit and catch up on old times...and now suddenly, he and Bo-bobo have to work together with their lives on the line against perhaps their greatest enemy: their mutual big brother! It's not Be-bebe's fault that Bo-bobo & Don Patch just keep stretching his situation worse and worse forcing Bi-bibi's wrath on him but considering Bo-bobo sees him on his side and Bi-bibi could have had a good ally if it weren't for that...yeah, it's really a rock and a hard place. If only his hair wasn't like wakame...the actual battle with Gokurakuchou and his minions was alright prior to his Bi-bibi possession (yeah, he's evil, manipulative and cruel...but a good father regardless) but it's obvious these other two are there to fill out the ranks. And finally: it's hilarious to see Tennosuke's Tofu Dojo siege as easy so far...I mean, who would think tofu would be weaker than tokoroten!? (then again, Wandering Tofu is probably coming for him soon enough...and he's higher ranked than Bo-bobo's opponent...then again Bo-bobo's opponent is no longer him but Bi-bibi...)
