Goisu: WATCH!! SHIGEKI-SAMA IS A SUPER-TOP IDOL!! HIS FANS STIMULATING CHEERING WILL TURN INTO HIS POWER
(TN: For once, Goisu actually uses the real version of “Shigeki”, which in Japanese (at this time) for “stimulus”)

162.
Shigeki X: NOW, SHALL WE GO SHIGEKILY?
(TN: The “Shigeki” that this transformed Shigeki X has a new, different meaning: the first kanji “Shi” is “Death”, the second is “play” or “drama”, thus the new version of “Shigeki” is “Death drama” or “deadly dramatic”)

Shigeki X: SHIGEKILY—
Narrator: Top Floor
Dengaku Man: NOT YET---!! THEY HAVEN’T COME TO SAVE ME YET---!!!
Caption: TO BE CONTINUED

TN: So the question for the chapter is obvious: which is scarier, Shigeki X's true horrific humanoid form...or Bu-bubu drunk on Narazuke brine!? I've been anticipating this chapter for a while considering that this reveal of Shigeki X's true form means we're approaching the climax of the arc and some really mind-blowing moments are coming up! But...seeing Bu-bubu blowing Don Patch away and throwing around everyone with her drunk form (and not just mentioning how Be-bebe was probably crushed by her offscreen...but that could be a big-sister thing and not just her even further increased power) perhaps shows that she could be just as scary as him! All in all, this was a great chapter (even with that confusing Mentaiko bit Don Patch defeated the "spiky" Shigeki X with) and things are only going to get crazier...but if you want to bail, there's the ledge and I think Tennosuke, Don Patch and the other Shigeki X are probably plummeting at this moment so it's open to go.
