To save himself and Beauty from their worst-case scenario, Softon has finally revealed himself...and yes, it's appropriate to call him Beauty's brother now. But now that he's released his seal, what punishment awaits him?

Don Patch: IT’S ALRIGHT BOBOMI
SFX: BOING BOING
Beauty: THOSE ARE CHESTS!! THEY COULDN’T HAVE HAD A BETTER MISTAKE!!!
(TN: A weird language pun: a bureau of chests is “Tansu” in Japanese, which is close to the pronounciation (and markings) of “Dansu” or “Dance”)

Beauty: IT’S OK!!? TO BE A CHEST!!?

Beauty: THEY’RE DANCING WITH “YANSU” AND “GANSU” WITHIN THE DANCE----!!!

Hell Dolphin: KU…ARE THEY DANCING TOO? EXCELLENT, I’LL DANCE THEM TO DEATH!!
Hell Dolphin: PEROPERO SHINKEN OUGI: ECCO THE DOLPHIN!!!
(TN: First of all “Peropero” is “licking” in Japanese, thus “fist of licking”. On the other hand, the attack probably could be called “Echo the Dolphin”, but it is obviously a reference to the Sega video game franchise started in 1992)
SFX: KIIII—N

SFX: BAM BAM BAM
Caption: JISHOU BABYLON SHINKEN CHOUOUGI: DREAM OF RAISING TILES IN JANKI RYU DANCE!!!
(TN: Though I couldn’t find anything on it in English, “Janki Ryu” is a style of Mahjong pioneered by Mahjong master Akikazu Sakurai. BTW: “Jishou” = “Self-Styled”)
Heppokomaru: WHAT IS THAT OUGI!!!?
Machine: YAKUMAN AND HANEMAN, FULL SCORE DIRECTLY WITH TANKI, DORA 4 FEVER!!!
(TN: We’re getting quite a few Mahjong references here, but I’ll sort through them as best as I can:
-Yakuman: A high-scoring combination regarding the collection of certain extremely rare hands
-Haneman: A hand consisting of 6-7 tiles of a certain style
-Tanki: Also known as “Tanki-Machi”, it is a solo tile in a hand waiting for two pieces to meld with it.
-Dora 4: Dora tiles are certain types of tiles occasionally used in mahjong that can be lead to a bonus when collected. Dora 4 is a four-hand combination with one of the four tiles being a Dora tile)
SFX: DODODODODODODO
Don Patch & Hell Dolphin: GYAAAAA
Heppokomaru: REACH STICKS HAVE APPEARED---!!! WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
(TN: Reach sticks are counters that can be used as betting means in a mahjong tournament)
Icen: THAT FOOL! THAT WASN’T BABYLON SHINKEN! IT WASN’T BUT THERE’S NO MISTAKE IN HIS IMPRESSIVE DESTRUCTIVE POWER…THAT MAN IS EXTREMELY STRONG!!
Hell Dolphin: KU…MAID, SAVE ME NOW

49.
Tennosuke: NOW LET’S HAVE A DANCE BATTLE!
SFX: BAN
Hell Dolphin: THAT’S OLD!!! (AND OUT OF DATE!!)
Tennosuke: TAKE THIS: PENLIGHT EXPRESS!!!
(TN: Obviously from the bad pun and the attack name (and the roller skates), Tennosuke is referring to the roller-skating rock musical “Starlight Express” by Andrew Lloyd Webber & Richard Stilgoe)
SFX: SLIDE—
Hell Dolphing: GYAAAA, IT’S TOO PRETTY---!!!
8th: GEGEGE……A BIT MORE…SMASH THEM A BIT MORE…

Icen: Two Babylon cannot exist in this world! What’s left is having a strong heart. He is weak! He’s getting what he deserves and the result being destroyed by me. Understand the state he’s in.

50.
Beauty: Softon…My brother can never lose to someone like you.
Icen: WHAT!!?

SFX: BO—OM
Icen: GOFU!!!!
Beauty: WHAT’S THAT---!!!? THAT WASN’T ENTRUSTED TO YOU---!!!!

51.
SFX: SPLA—SH

Beauty: BROTHER……
SFX: TEAR TEAR
Softon: YOU’VE GOTTEN BIG, BEAUTY.
SFX: POKE / MUNCH MUNCH
Beauty: !!!
Beauty: …THIS ISN’T MOVING AT ALL----!!!! THIS IS MY LONG-AWAITED MOVING SCENE, BUT THIS IS THE WORST REUNION---!!! WHY DIDN’T WE DO THIS MUCH TWICE BEFORE!?
Bo-bobo: IT’S ALL THE ENEMY’S TRAP!! UNFORGIVABLE!!
Heppokomaru: !?
Dengaku Man: TO BE CONTINUED

TN: My first thought of the chapter: yes, Yuuko/Icen is a blonde. If she's banana flavored ice cream, then it's obvious what her hair color is. (but then again that means that since Softon was "chocolate" or "strawberry" dependant on your version then...well, OK, with the whole poop bit you sort of have to make your own decisions on what it's supposed to be.) The stuff regarding the reveal has been hilarious (primarily the intro...though it was funnier with them saying "Unko" over and over since "Poop" is just two letters repeated) and you can obviously see Beauty's been going through a lot, both emotionally or just her usual tsukkomi bit...heck, she's been courageous with all that she's put up beyond her usual freak-outs. But while that stuff has been important...the actual fight in itself has just gotten more and more confusing by the chapter. If this is supposed to be a "Kesshii Keshi Keshi Battle", then how come it feels like everyone is fighting? I mean, one moment Torpedo Girl fights Hell Dolphin, then Shell seems to get it to be Bo-bobo, Don Patch, Softon and Dengaku Man, then Tennosuke returns...compared to how well the first Kesshii Keshi Keshi went, I didn't expect this fight to get so chaotic! (well it was that or just all the dancing...and don't get me started on all the mahjong references this time considering that nearly broke me) At least we don't have much left of this fight...though I sort of hope Beauty doesn't lose it before we get there.
