71.
Softon: Sorry, Beauty…there’s still nothing to say now. When this battle is over, I’ll truly tell you everything…We should wait until then.
Beauty: ……………Yep.
Bo-bobo: OOP
(TN: This is a weird language joke: basically in the original, Beauty responds to Softon’s comment with “un”, which is an acknowledgement comment in Japanese. But Bo-bobo adds “ko” at the end, turning it into “Poop”. It really couldn’t work in Englsih so I made Beauty’s response into “yep”…thus allowing for Bo-bobo to add “oop” at the end giving…the obvious result)

Shigeki X: FOUR HAIR TOWERS FINAL STAGE! EAST KESSHII KESHI KESHI BATTLE: EST SURVIVAL!!!! IS THAT SHIGEKI-LIKE?
(TN: This here is an extremely strange situation: the Japanese acronym here is MCT, which transliterates to “Mecha Shigeki Tower”, with “Mecha” standing for “Absurd” or “Excessively” or “Extremely”. But since it does later get translated, I changed it to EST…which actually works a bit better with the “Eastern” aspect of the tower)

Caption: TO BE CONTINUED

TN: I have to admit this about this chapter: it was fun but somewhat all over the place, a bit like how the Icen fight was. It's obvious that Shigeki X...well, he isn't normal (then again Don Patch isn't either and he's...sort of like him) and will probably be the butt of a ton of jokes before this whole arc is over with! But of course their intentions and what he and the other two have done so far (not counting Tennosuke's war with Wandering Tofu so far) shows the threat that they possess...but of course, somehow Bu-bubu's really doesn't seem that threatening but Dengaku Man...well, hopefully Bo-bobo will have a change of heart by the time he gets up there. I guess you can feel happy that the introductions are over and the real action starts next time...but of course, this fight is going to be a long one, I'm warning you now...
