But for his 1000th script on Mangahelpers, he goes back to the two words that got him into translating manga in the first place (again)...and the two words that will possibly best define the one work he may be best known for...

HANAGE SHINKEN!!!!!

So sit back, relax, and enjoy the 1000th StrangerAtaru script, as we see how the saga of a certain nosehair warrior began...

Special: Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo (Akamaru Version)
(StrangerAtaru 1000th script special)
As published in
Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo? - Sawai Yoshio Short-Story Collection

25.
Narrator: 300X: the Earth was heading towards an era where it was ruled by the Maruhage Empire.
(TN: Considering this is the first Bo-bobo pilot and it's been a long time since we've had these terms understood, I think it's time to maybe get a few translations understood for my scripts regarding the early part of the series. First of all, "Maruhage" is the Japanese term for "utter, complete baldness")
Narrator: As symbol of his own authority, Tsuru Tsurulina the 4th, emperor of the Maruhage Empire, started a Hair Hunt on the entire world to make his whole nation bald.
(TN: A couple terms this time
1. "Tsuru Tsurulina" is a play on the onomotopeia for "tsuru tsuru", or "smooth and slippery"
2. "Hair Hunt" in Japanese "kegari", a combination of "ke" or "hair" and "karu", the verb for "cutting hair")
Narrator: As its name states, a Hair Hunt is the taking-out of fresh hair growing on the head; by the Hair Hunt, the Maruhage Empire grew in might.
Caption: Loguru Village
Man: It's the Hair Hunters. The Hair Hunters have come!!!!
Man 1: Uwaaaaa
Man 2: Run----!!!
Hair Hunter: Ha--hahahahaha: WE ARE THE D-BLOCK DISTRICT HAIR HUNTERS

26.
Hair Hunter: FROM NOW ON, THIS TOWN IS UNDER MARUHAGE EMPIRE JURISDICTION: BEGIN THE HAIR HUNT!!!! HA--HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

27.
Wakahage: Ha ha ha: before the arrival of the general leader, everyone will come to have bald heads.
Caption: D-Block Leader: Wakahage
(TN: A slight joke here: "wakahage" is Japanese for "Premature Baldness")
SFX: BAKI (BONK)!!!
Wakihage: N
"Girl": Haa haa: don't harm the hair of a friendly person.
Beauty: The Hair Hunters have finally come to this town as well. I absolutely hate baldness.
Caption: Fashion-Conscious Girl of the Town: Beauty
Wakahage: WHAT ARE YOU DOING~~~!!!
Beauty: UWA!!!
Hair Hunter: GYAN!!!!
Beauty: What? That seemed like a whip now? Who exactly was that?...
Voice: Are you alright?
Beauty: !

28.
"Nosehair-Man": THAT WAS CLOSE
Beauty: NOSEHAIRS!!!!!!
Bo-bobo: Do you understand the pain of hair a bit?
Wakahage: Gugu...
Wakahage: YOU DEFY THE HAIR HUNTERS...WHAT EXACTY ARE YOU...?

29.
Bo-bobo: I AM BO-BOBO!!!! BOBOBO-BO BO-BOBO!!!!!
Wakahage: SO MANY MYSTERIES...
Hair Hunter: AAAAH, LEADER!!!
Hair Hunter: HE DEFEATED THE LEADER!!! RETREAT!! RETREAT~~~!!!
SFX: SUPO
Bo-bobo: HMPH
Beauty: ..........

30.
Beauty: You're amazing!!! What were those nosehairs now!!? They've gone numb!!!
Beauty: I'M BEAUTY. You're not a person of this town. I haven't seen your face.
Bo-bobo: Hey hey, my name is Bo-bobo. Not you, call me Bo-bobo.
Beauty: Then, Bo-bobo.
Bo-bobo: Don't act familiar.
(TN: The "don't act familiar" line here is Bo-bobo going "kiyasuku yobu na"; since Beauty doesn't use a ending like "san", "sama" and "kun" and just calls him "Bo-bobo", she's acting familiar to someone she really doesn't know, thus Bo-bobo's warning)
Beauty: EH!!?
Bo-bobo: I'm a nice guy traveling around the world in search of a certain man.
Beauty: WHAT, YOU'RE SEARCHING FOR A PERSON? I MAY KNOW HIM BECAUSE I'M REALLY GOOD WITH FACES.
Bo-bobo: It's somehow this man but...

31.
Beauty: SORRY, I DON'T KNOW HIM...
Bo-bobo: Right...
Beauty: Going from there, thank you for earlier, you saved me. Bo-bobo is my benefactor.
Bo-bobo: If you're grateful, then make it to your own hairs on your head that wished to be saved by me.
Beauty: Eh?
Beauty: WHAT'S THAT ABOUT? WHAT--DO YOU--MEAN BY THAT!!?
Bo-bobo: I CAN HEAR THE VOICE OF HAIR.
Beauty: The voice of hair?
Bo-bobo: Yes...
Bo-bobo: Since I was a kid, I could hear the voice of hair.
"Voice 1": There's nice weather today.
"Voice 2": Are you alright?
"Voice 3": Ah--I'll eat curry.
Caption: Bo-bobo, Age 7

32.
Bo-bobo: It was a mystery as to why just I could hear the voice of hair.
Man: Huh? The voice of hair? What are you talking about?
Bo-bobo: One day, I asked that to my own hair. (flashback) Why can I hear the voices of hair?
"Hair": We don't know.
Bo-bobo: They were warriors.
Bo-bobo: It was a bit shocking...
Bo-bobo: As such on one day, I met that man.
"Voice": Wa~h wa~h
Bo-bobo: Oldie, your hair is crying.
Bo-bobo: His name was Iboji. Iboji was also a human who could hear the voice of hair, same as I.
(TN: Just a silly comment regarding all the "weird names": Iboji is Japanese for "hemorrhoid")
Iboji: You can hear them too!? The voices of hair!!!!
Bo-bobo: I asked Iboji why I could hear the voice of hair. (flashback) What is it?
Iboji: I DON'T KNOW.
Bo-bobo: He too was another warrior.

33.
Bo-bobo: Iboji was the president of a hair tonic company and I studied in depth many thing about hair from Iboji.
Iboji: It was Biore.
(TN: "Biore" is a Japanese cosmetics company; while they make a lot of face-cleaning products, I'm not really sure if they make any hair tonic products)
Bo-bobo: And I got to know the reality that hair has life and live with all their might one-by-one.
Hair 1: We're ali--ve
Hair 2: Ya--y
Hair 3: We do--with great--trouble.
Bo-bobo: It's a lie!! An absolute lie!!!
Iboji: I'm serious!!!
Bo-bobo: And thus, Iboji left having taught that thing to me.
Bo-bobo: ...And so I, who knew of the life of hair, searched for hair that requested to be saved and came to not ignore them from that day.
Beauty: So...so then, my head hair requested to be saved by Bo-bobo.
Bo-bobo: WRONG
Beauty: THAT WAS WRONG!!!!?

34.
Beauty: So, what was that story now!!!?
Wakahage: KU KU KU...
Bo-bobo: What's wrong, is something amusing?
Wakahage: IT'S ALREADY THE END OF THIS TOWN: BECAUSE YOU'RE OPPOSING US. OUR GENERAL LEADER HOMODESU-SAMA IS COMING TO THIS TOWN. HE'LL KILL ALL OF YOU...
(TN: Obvious pun here considering "Homodesu" is "I'm a homo(sexual)")
Beauty: WHAT IS THIS HOMODESU? ISN'T THIS DANGEROUS?...
Bo-bobo: Fu, don't worry: you're going to go take the townspeople to shelter.
Beauty: Bu...but...
Bo-bobo: IT'LL BE FINE BECAUSE YOU'RE LEAVING THIS TO ME
Beauty: THEY'VE MULTIPLIED!!!!

35.
Caption: 3 Hours Later
Voice: I'VE ARRIVED AT LAST. THIS IS LOGURU VILLAGE.
Homodesu: IT'S EXTREMELY QUIET. IS THE HAIR HUNT ALREADY OVER?
Caption: General Leader of D-Block: Homodesu
Homodesu: ARA? WHAT'S THAT? HAIR
Bo-bobo: GROW~~GROW~~
Homodesu: !!!!

36.
Bo-bobo: GROW---!!!! THEY'RE GOING TO GROW----!!!!!
Homodesu: WILL THEY GROW----!!!!!!
Homodesu: KU!!! WHAT SORT OF PERSON ARE YOU!!!?
Bo-bobo: MY NAME IS BOBOBO-BO BO-BOBO BOBOBO-BO BO-BOBO BOBOBO-BO BO-BOBO
Bo-bobo: BOBOBO-BO
Bo-bobo: BO-BOBO, AM I!!!?
Homodesu: No, even if I heard it...

37.
Bo-bobo: You're Homodesu. I've defeated your subordinates.
Homodesu: Hoo.
Homodesu: IN OTHER WORDS, YOU'RE A REBEL!! REBELS GET THE DEATH PENALTY; DIE----!!!!
Bo-bobo: SEXY BEAM
Homodesu: GUO!!!
Homodesu: WH...WHAT!!!? HE'S ATTACKING WITH NOSEHAIRS!!!?
Homodesu: ...KU, WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOU...
Bo-bobo: I'M A NOSEHAIR USER.

38.
"Star-Head": WHAAT!!!! A NOSEHAIR USER!!!!?
"Star-Head": Haa haa haa
"Star-Head": Haa haa
Homodesu: ...What is a "nosehair user"?
Bo-bobo: HANAGE SHINKEN, AN ASSASSINATION FIST THAT FREELY MANIPULATES NOSEHIARS AND DEFEATS ENEMIES. A PERSON WHO MASTERS HANAGE SHINKEN IS A NOSEHAIR USER.
(TN: A strange note here that has to be said: in the original Bo-bobo pilot, Bo-bobo refers to "Hanage Shinken" using the "Shin" that is Japanese for "God" as opposed to "True". This is the same "Shinken" reading as the "Shinken" in "Hokuto Shinken", the classic Buronson/Tetsuo Hara manga series that Bo-bobo parodies. By the time of the series, the "Shin" changes to the kanji for "True", leading to the "True Fist" style that Bo-bobo has for his "Hanage Shinken"...as well as all further Shinken later in the series)
Bo-bobo: Be prepared: I don't go easy on guys who don't think of hair as hair like all of you.
Homodesu: HMPH, I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT NOSEHAIR USERS, BUT DON'T GET CAUGHT IN THE MOMENT!!!!

39.
Homodesu: HMPH!!
SFX: BUCHI!!!
Homodesu: ORA----!!!!
Page: 3RD PLACE
Bo-bobo: Congratulations, it's a 3rd Place Bo-bobo Doll.
Homodesu: !!!
Bo-bobo: IT TALKS WHEN YOU PRESS THE BUTTON ON IT'S CHEST.
Doll: I'M ON FIRE~~~
(TN: "I'm on fire" is actually in Japanese "aiuchi", which is "set afire")
Homodesu: DON'T WANT IT!!!! (I'm on fire!!?)
Bo-bobo: Though it is rare...
Homodesu: I'LL KILL YOU FOR JOKING WITH ME!!!!
Bo-bobo: O--TTO, NOSEHAIR BARRIER!!!!

40.
Bo-bobo: YES
Bo-bobo: GUBAA!!!!!
Homodesu: You're an idiot.
Bo-bobo: GU
Homodesu: UFUFU: EVEN IF YOU SAY YOU'RE A NOSEHAIR USER, THAT'S NOT A BIG DEAL. BEFORE I KILL YOU, I'LL HUNT DOWN YOUR FLASHY HEAD.
Bo-bobo: Like this?
Homodesu: HE'S SMOOTH!!!!?
Bo-bobo: MY HEAD HAIR HAS RUN AWAY FROM HOME
Homodesu: RAN AWAY FROM HOME!!!!?

41.
Bo-bobo: OUR CHATTERING IS OVER!!!
SFX: KAPO
Bo-bobo: I WILL SHOW YOU THE ESSENSE OF HANAGE SHINKEN!!!
Bo-bobo: WATCH THIS!! HANAGE SHINKEN KYUUKYOKU OUGI: NOSEHAIR FESTIVAL-----!!!!!
Homodesu: WHAT!!! NOSEHAIR FESTIVAL!!!?
Bo-bobo: THEY'RE ENTANGLED
Homodesu: Ha---hahahaha: you're stupid.
SFX: Buchi
Homodesu: I already understand your true power.
Homodesu: DIIE----!!!!

42.
Homodesu: PITHAIR...

43.
Bo-bobo: I'M EVEN A PITHAIR USER.
Beauty: BO-BOBO!!! (Ya--y)
Bo-bobo: Oh, Beauty, it's over
Beauty: WA-----!!!!!
Beauty: THAT'S DISGUSTING----!!!!
(TN: Beauty's final line is "Kishoi", which is a shortened version of "Kishoku Warui" or "a bad appearance". With Beauty's obsession with "style" In this pilot, I had to keep the meaning as well as her slightly vain nature...of course, she'd think that seeing armpit hairs flying about would be disgusting, thus the line here)
(End of pilot chapter)

TN: Ladies and gentlemen reading this script...and those who come across this later: what I said above is true. This script that you are reading is actually my 1000th script on Mangahelpers. It's been a long, strange ride...with a lot of long strange series...but somehow I've made it this far without utterly going insane. I can still somehow remember only yesterday (well it was April, 2008), when my stupid self, sick of witnessing the neglect of "Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo" by all parties involved with it, decided to take my way-out-of practice Japanese skills to "fill in the massive blank" that existed between the already-translated part of the series (which pretty much was from the beginning to the end of vol. 2) to "the part Viz's volume began with"...which essentially was the end of OVER and the start of Halekulani. Boy how the time flies...somehow I've ended up going from "filling in the empty Bo-bobo story" to...well, filling and finishing the original Bo-bobo, doing Shinsetsu (a work in progress), doing a similar "Fill in the Blank" with Kinnikuman (again all the way to the end), starting up several other weird series...and oh yeah, only really doing one series so far from start to finish! (though I do wonder if anyone outside myself really loved "Cyborg Jii-chan G"...but I did that as a labor of love to improve the name of Obata somehow or another) There have been good times, bad times, sad times, glad times, strange times...really strange times...and everything associated with "Desire", which, hopefully, I may never speak of again. (that is unless someone wants me to get back to it...) Honestly, I mostly do this because I want to sort of keep my Japanese in practice as well as get out there interest in a bunch of series that would normally get lost. Yeah I know I do a ton of "older series" and not the "Big Three of Jump" (even though I did do a few Gintama scripts...which sucked miserably) but I guess to me, every manga deserves a shot. Honestly I have a few crazy ideas for my projects in the future, including some stuff I doubt anyone has even heard of! (outside the obsessive who exist) But...I need to give a massive, massive "thank you" to all of you out there who have read my scripts, the series associated with said scripts...and put up with an utter weirdo like me who makes overlong rants about stuff like "How Watchman may be one of the most dangerous Choujin wrestlers in existence" or "the awesomeness of monkeys in Chinese kenpou" or "how a ghost story about a "nun" and a guy with a tengu mask may be the most disturbing thing ever written" or "about the time I probably forgot about that one Cutie Honey bit that one detective guy in KochiKame used" (I can't really remember now) or "how cute Kyouko Inaba is with fluffier pigtails and a dress"...and of course all of my "Tennosuke rocks" bits. You all deserve medals (probably one of those "Scrap-Iron Poop" ones) to have put up with me all this time...and I thank each and every one of you who have, even if you're not reading this right here or now.

So then...enough about me and this milestone thing...I guess it would come to no surprise that my 1000th script would turn out to be a Bo-bobo related one. Honestly, when I saw I was approaching this milestone, I began to realize that the very first pilot, which is actually something really well known thanks to the Bo-bobo anime (due to the adapted elements like Bo-bobo's introduction to Beauty and the whole "hear hair" background instead of the Hair Kingdom stuff) had never really been done or exposed in the US! While people knew of elements from the pilot from the anime, it just wasn't that know considering that the first manga chapter does some introductory things slightly different (well aside from adding Pickles) and that was out there as well as the contradictory stuff in the first anime episode. So in order to clear up things, I decided to do the first pilot to introduce ourselves to the original "Bo-bobo concept" and how it ended up changing from the first pilot to the first manga chapter. (well, there is the second pilot, which is a series of four chapters...but that may be done at a later time)

Looking at the chapter...there are quite a few bits that did become "redone" in the first chapter (the armpit hair at the end, the whole "block leader is some weird gay guy" part, Bo-bobo's nosehairs getting tangled up in his "shield"), but there were also some things that seemed to be cleared up that Sawai never actually got to. The most obvious was how Beauty's character was used between the first pilot and the actual manga. In the manga, Beauty is just a generic tsukkomi, responding and reacting to all of the weirdness that Bo-bobo and everyone else pulls. But here, while we see her tsukkomi side in it's early phase, we also see her as the "fashion-conscious girl", thus why her name is "Beauty"...and why it's so weird for her to see something as weird or disgusting as Bo-bobo, who uses nosehairs as his weapon. Honestly, I actually like the idea of Beauty having a bit more personality outside being the "side screamer" and the straight-man/normal girl of the series, using her obsession with fashion and vanity as a means to contrast with the weird-looking characters and giving her something other than what we ended up getting.

The other thing that really seemed to stand out, especially due to me being on Shinsetsu now where a lot of it did seem to be gone by now, is just how bizarre but brilliant this entire world was. It was obvious from the pilot that there was a bit of a "Hokuto no Ken" concept of a warrior wandering the wastelands fighting against bald soldiers to protect hair. But somehow a lot of the stuff that either was in or ignored later on was in the first pilot, from "random things talking" (like young Bo-bobo "talking to his hair") and the "hair master" who used to work for a tonic company...to just the various weird names used for all of the fighters and even the evil Hair Hunters in the pilot. You definitely see a more freewheeling, bizarre idea similar to the early volumes, where it wasn't just about the Hair Hunter block fights but also about weirdo characters, strange puns and all-out comic randomness that actually made sense. This was a series where a villainous block could have two video stores on top of one another, where teachers could be an old shop lady (and one old man) and masters juice cans, and where the most powerful block leader...was a sentinent slab of tokoroten. (yeah, being quiet on him...) Heck, even the idea of all the villains (outside the weirder ones) being bald felt menacing and like a massive standard outside the highest levels such as the Heavenly Kings and their assistants. Compare that to current Shinsetsu: most of the randomness is gone, none of the villains are bald, we don't get too many weird moments (though we still get a lot of weird and creative fighters) and it just feels like one fight after another after another. (nothing wrong with it but it just feels so different between then and now...and it makes you wonder what could have been.

So...I guess that will be all for now. There will be more Bo-bobo coming (still got 30 Shinsetsu chapters left...and maybe some other stuff like...we'll see), not to mention all the other series that I have to get to work on or keep working on...heck, I still have 2 more scripts tonight and just paused them just to get to this 1000th one! I have to get back to work... https://mangahelpers.com/t/weeklyjumpman/releases/14255 [English] [Translation] Bobobo-bo bo-bobo 89 by weeklyjumpman 2009-07-20T16:10:42+00:00 weeklyjumpman admin@mangahelpers.com

Translator's Notes:
=========================================
In SA 89, on page 24, Beauty mentions "The Thinker". The Thinker is a bronze and marble sculpture by Auguste Rodin held in the Musée Rodin in Paris, France. It depicts a man in sober meditation battling with a powerful internal struggle. It is often used to represent philosophy. At the bottom of the page we see DP and TT as "The Birth of Venus", another piece of art. Thankfully neither of the three idiots are nude, except for DP and TT... but that doesn't count.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Steve" is the child-friendly man from Blue's Clues. His "thinking chair" is where he does his business... Rather than just repeating "Think" for the umpteenth time, this appropriate localization is made on page 25. And Steve will always be the original. Joe just never cut it for me...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Gigi looks very much like an M&M, so expect that insult to appear regularly regarding her whenever she is ridiculed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
On page 35, "The Torpedo Returns" is obviously a spoof of the Japanese Studio Ghibli film, "The Cat Returns". Funny, I rented that movie once, but I never found the time to watch it...

Translator's Notes:
=============================================
In the chapter before SA 88, Over had a gauge on his stomach that, when filled, transformed him into his "original form". Gigi is that form, a "Slapstickslayer" of ole. Transformation gauges and the like are very cliché in Japanese animation (Dragon Ball, etc), as are "original/true forms".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the third panel of page 10, Heppokomaru dons glasses and looks very much like the stereotypical "smart character" commonly found in Japanese cartoons. Hence, he is translated in this context. He has done this before, but I thought I might as well mention it here. It appears it's going to be one of his gag personalities.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The second and third panels of page 11 are parodying the anti-war movement of the 60's. These hippies are standing in front of what appears to be the White House. Apparently, Gigi was there to protest herself...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 12's "Experience Torpedo" is translated along the lines of a cheesy catchphrase on a TV commercial.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 15 has Bo-bobo in the sixth panel holding a gun and looking cool. Therefore, he is translated as referring to himself as equal to Schwarzenegger, the "Last Action Hero".
In the next panel, he flubs the notion.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gigi's laugh consists of her repetitive "Tortortor!", short for "torpedo". Somehow her sneeze is "antiairmissile"...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
A number of text bubbles on page 18 are humorously localized to somewhat vague lyrics of the comedy song "Goofy Goober Rock".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
And finally, the last panel on page 19 has Gigi referencing "The Little Engine That Could".

- Secret Attack 87 End - Volume 8: M·T (Complete) -

Translator's Notes:
===============================================
Over's attack "Kabosu" used on page 170 is a citrus fruit not very well known in America. All his attacks spurn from fruit names, just to let you know. It's funny... big tough guy uses the Bloodthirsty Fist, yet names his attacks after sweet and innocent fruits.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ringri-la" is named after "Shangri-la", a word which means "imaginary utopia".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 177's joke is a little hard to convey... you see, the Japanese expression for "enraged", "hara ga tatsu", dead literally means "my stomach is rising". Tennosuke then proceeds to make a joke about the expression, by having his stomach actually rise. And that's the bottom line.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Bo-bobo mentions Digimon cards on page 178, and then Don Patch counters him with Pokémon, that is meant to be funny, of course. You see, back in the fad era of Pokémon, people who liked Digimon would always tell Pokémon fans that "Digimon was first" to try and imply it was better. That's the joke here. In literal Japanese the opposition is used as Bikkuriman stickers to Gamura Twist cards, but that wouldn't pass over very well here in the states.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gyorai Girl, or Gigi for short, is a new character originating from this chapter. Her name means "torpedo", and that is just what she is. The name Gigi still stokes me as a brilliant translation for both purists and for those who would prefer a more yielding name. Wonder what she'll do next...? By the way, the handbag Gigi is carrying has "Chanel" written on it. Chanel is a Parisian fashion house that specializes in luxury goods like special clothing, handbags, and perfume.

Bo-bobo Panel Collection!!!
________________________________________________________________
- Secret Attack 86 End -

Translator notes:
===============================================
On page 155, Bo-bobo shouts "Come to me, Flying Fartus!!" This is what Goku used to always do in Dragon Ball when he would fall from the sky, before he learned to fly later on. Except, of course, Goku wasn't using a fart, he was using his "Flying Nimbus".
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mikie, which is mentioned on the last panel of page 158 by Bo-bobo, is a 1984 arcade game by Konami where the player must guide a student called "Mikie" around the school, classroom, and locker room to collect hearts which make up a letter from his girlfriend Mandy while being chased by various members of the school staff. To defend himself the game character can head-butt teachers and throw basketballs at them. The game is known as Shinnyuushain Tooru-Kun (Freshman Tooru-Kun) in Japan. I don't really see the connection, though.
Except maybe that "Tooru" can translate into "coming through"...

Translator's Notes:
===============================================
On the first panel of SA 85, Bobopatchnosuke is pretending to use Goku's famous Kamehameha. Goku's the lead character from DB and the Kamehameha is his trademark attack, mind you.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"My right hand burns with a passion that tells me to defeat you" is the catchphrase of Domon Kasshu from the Gundam series?
It's an accurate, yet hilariously stupid, translation.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The third through sixth panel on page 147 is a reenactment of Chaozu's sacrifice against Nappa from Dragon Ball. After blowing up as Chaozu, DP then becomes Nappa, who is unphased.
Tenbo = Tenshinhan, Chaozu's best friend. Paozu = Chaozu.

Translator's Notes:
===============================================
SA 84 is titled "M·T". These just so happen to be the two initials of Mayumi Tanaka's name. Whether this is intended or not, I can't say. It's neat, nonetheless.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
On page 125, Bikkuriman stickers are mentioned - three to be precise. They are a brand of collectible stickers from Japan. And it also has several anime series... creepy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Marseille Butties are manufactured biscuits filled with cream (made of butter and white chocolate) and rum raisins. Their brand has been running for ages in Japan.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Istanbul is a real place in Turkey, and Iscandar is a fake place from a Japanese sci-fi cartoon series called "Star Blazers", or in Japan, "Space Battleship Yamato". Bobopatchnosuke then proceeds to use the "Wave Motion Gun", also from the 77-episode, 5-movie, series.

Translator's Notes:
===============================================
On the first page, Don Patch and Tennosuke's lemon underwear is a parody of another Jump series (that at the time of printing was running simultaneously) about strawberry underwear. I purposely made the oh-so corny line "Oh! A sudden, unexpected gust of the wind!" sound cheap and wooden, because we all know that besides Marilyn Monroe in that one movie photo, that sort of thing never happens in real life. Thus it is VERY corny and cliche.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The "octodogs" mentioned on page 107 are simply octopus-shaped hot dogs. They're real, too.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 108's "Bo-bobo anthem" has been translated to sound like the "Flipper" theme.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The entire concept of "fusing" was created by Akira Toriyama, author of Dragon Ball.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bobopatchnosuke's "Tanaka Sword" is meant to look like famed voice talent, Mayumi Tanaka. She's most well-known for her roles as One Piece's Luffy, and Dragon Ball's Kuririn.

Translator's Notes:
===============================================
Mesopotamia, the Hwang Ho River (aka the "Yellow River" and "Huang He"), and the Indus Valley, are real places on our earth. In fact, they are three of the four great ancient civilizations. They're only missing Egypt. Sawai probably decided these names after the last chapter's "Egypt" joke.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
That man in the background of page 88 may look like a ninja, but that's just the way classical Japanese stagehands dress. It's meant to be an inside gag here, of course.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
On pages 89 and 90, Bo-bobo and Don Patch become Gohan and Piccolo from Dragon Ball. I tried my best to use direct lines from the scenes they are spoofing, rather than being trans-literal.
Btw, HFIL is the place the Dragon Ball dubs in America changed HELL to. It stands for "Home For Infinite Losers". It's not a bad edit to be honest; it's actually pretty funny.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sōmen, which is mentioned on page 91, are noodles. They're like ramen.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Although "Kyain", which is shouted on page 94, sounds like a screech, it is actually the name of a Japanese comedic duo. I don't know for sure, but perhaps Don Patch and Indus were spoofing them. Sure, I could've used "Laurel and Hardy" or "Abbot and Costello", but they don't work so well as painful screams.

Translator's Notes:
===============================================
In SA 81, Bo-bobo says that the Commode Colosseum won the "Best Jeanist Award". This is a real-life award that is annually awarded to the person who wears the best pair of jeans in Japan. How a toilet could win one, I'll never know.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
On page 74, Elvis mentions his famous fried peanut butter and banana sandwich ala his own lingo.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also on page 74, Hwang Ho becomes Char Aznable from the Gundam series and uses his catchphrase.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hwang Ho calls Dengakuman a "Chao" on page 75 as an insult. Chaos are those little creatures from Sonic the Hedgehog games that look very similar to Dengakuman. This will inevitably pop back up in the series as a regular insult to Dengakuman from now on, so be warned...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The two-sword style, as well as the three-sword style, were popularized by Roronoa Zoro of One Piece. He's never used them from his butt and nostrils, though.

Translator's Notes:
===============================================
On page 58 of SA 80, Tennosuke mimics the hopelessness of a certain short-lived 26-episode series, before saying the name of one of its theme songs, "The Cruel Angel's Thesis".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
On page 61 of SA 80, DP and TT imitate two popular old-time Japanese baseball stars. DP is Shigeo Nagashima, former player on the Yomiuri Giants (as his hat reads) and former manager of the aforementioned team. TT is Sadaharu Oh, aka Wang Chenchih, a teammate to Nagashima back in his heyday. Oh also acted as manager for his team after his retirement. He later went on to manage the "Fukuoka Daiei Hawks" which is now known as the "Fukuoka Softbank Hawks". The O-N Cannon, which is mentioned through clever translation, was the name used for the two players feared batting lineup, where Oh batted third and Nagashima batted fourth. O = Oh and N = Nagashima.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Baseball Stars is an uber-popular NES game released in 1989 by SNK. It is known in Japan as "Baseball Star Mezase Sankanou". It is often-considered the greatest b-ball game of all time.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
On page 63, Beauty mentions Elvis Presley. That's all I'm gonna say.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The squid guy, Mesopotamia, says he is going to hand the cast over to Java man. Java man is the name of one of those ridiculous monkey bones some man (who called himself a scientist) found and tried to pass off as human "links". Fyi, his claims have since been proven false. In fact, he himself stated that his findings were merely an orangutang, a word synonymous with evolutionist.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Don Patch becomes a "Visual Rockstar" on page 67 - a term used for J-rock musicians who care intensely about their image. These singers care so much about "appearance" that they'll wear bizarre make-up and adornments just to attract attention. Guess they're kinda like goths...

Translator's Notes:
===============================================
In SA 79, since Tennosuke is acting like a psychiatrist, he is compared to Dr. Phil.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
On page 42, when Striker is implying that he is a ninja 18 times, I used eight names of some of the most famous ninjas in popular culture. It makes an otherwise uncomical scene hilarious.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beckham Striker's name in Japan is Mugen Shuuto which means "nonstop shooter/kicker". I'll let you figure out for yourself why his name should be localized to Beckham Striker in America. And since he's been translated by a professional, he's constantly making witty cross-references and puns using "sports lingo" that is also amazingly accurate to the Japanese dialogue.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time for a history lesson. "The Gojou-Oohashi Bridge" is a real Japanese landmark, historic and famous for the battle of Musashibou-Benkei and Minamoto Yoshitsune.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Captain Tsubasa is the titular character of the Jump soccer series, Captain Tsubasa. It's an appropriate, yet humorous, insult.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The song on page 50 is a burlesque jingle about the environment, so it has been translated to sound like Michael Jackson's "Earth Song". Take from it what you may.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The amalgamation of "Wild" songs on page 51 are as follows: "Wild Horse" by Deb Talan, "Wild Thing" by Jimi Hendrix, and "The Wild Horse" by Rod Stewart.

Translator's Notes:
===============================================
In SA 78, the bunny has been translated to sound like THE Bugs Bunny. So think of it that way.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ruby's initial lines and actions are straight out of Sailor Moon; and that's why Bo-bobo, the hero of a male-oriented series, is instantly scared of her, and consequently, places her "in the garbage".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
On page 26, Ruby's "Look! Look! Listen!" line sounds a whole lot like Zelda: OOT's Navi to me. I was never bothered by Navi's nonstop chirping, to be honest.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
On page 30, the snack mentioned is Hi-Chew, a Japanese equivalent to Starburst. You see, when Don Patch is giving Ruby a hint of what food she'll get for a snack, he sings the Hi-Chew anthem of "Be happy! Eat Hi-Chew!". I switched it to Cocoa Crispies and their 1990's jingle, however; because Hi-Chew is not an American product, and it wouldn't hold any humor at all in it's original form. Remember the key to Bo-bobo is to be funny. Now, I would've kept Hi-Chew if it were shown on screen, but it's not. Oddly, Hi-Chews are sold practically everywhere but here in the states...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 31 starts off with DP quoting Vegeta - one of his strongest roots.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bomberman is the lead character of a video game series by Hudson who has funny-looking eyes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
On page 35, Don Patch looks a whole lot like Kenshiro - the main guy from Fist of the North Star.

- Secret Attack 77 End -

Translator's Notes:
====================================================
At the end of each chapter, I will try my best to provide a list of descriptions on and for the puns, localized or not, in Bo-bobo. Any fan should read this - you're bound to learn something you didn't know.
================================================
Firstly, I'd like to inform you that not all meanings in Bo-bobo can be deciphered and that even Japanese fans struggle to understand many of them, as was discussed in one of the many chapters of the Japanese football comic, Eyeshield 21. I will describe in detail hitherto, the ones that I believe I can make out. A chosen few are localized when the chance is allowed, but I will describe EVERY single localization on this page. That means EVERY SINGLE SENTENCE I have in my translations stems back to the original Japanese save a few of which I detail below. I will NEVER change the plot, story, or dialogue in the series like your average nudnik would. I will NEVER change the names of ANY of the many main characters in the series. Only when I believe an easier-to-understand equivalent is found in the English culture will I ever localize a joke; and if I DO happen to localize one, it WILL be mentioned below with a painstaking explanation.
================================================
Of course, most of the bald hair hunters names are localized for the initial intended humor, because most of them serve no purpose besides the pun in their name; and therefore necessity calls for such actions to be made.
================================================
Character descriptions of the leads thus far (excluding the ineffable Bo-bobo):
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beauty is the dazzling heroine of the series. She acts as the "straight-man" throughout thousands of jokes, making stupid gags even funnier! Her name was born from the movie "American Beauty", which Sawai saw in the mail while he was creating her character. The lucky dog!
================================================
Tennosuke's full name of "Tokoro Tennosuke" comes from the Japanese delicacy of "Tokoroten", of which he is made of. This is a Japanese snack that is very much like Jell-O. By the way, his name is pronounced Toe-koe-row Tehn-no-skay. Now say it ten times fast.
================================================
Don Patch's name stems from the spanish title for a man or leader, Don. However, when placed together in Japanese, his full name represents the Japanese onomatopoeia of an explosion. I would say his character is a cross between Dragon Ball's Vegeta and Looney Tunes' Daffy Duck. And if you can't tell that by now, don't worry; I'm sure you will in the near future.
================================================
Softon's name comes from a mixture of the English words "soft cream" and "Babylon". Many believe his head is poop, but he has neither confirmed nor denied this statement. Which puts Beauty in utter disappointment and disgust at his every appearance; though she continually reassures herself that his head is chocolate-flavored ice cream...
================================================
Heppokomaru's name is parodying the Japanese style of adding "maru" to the end of a given name. Heppoko means "untrained", which illuminates that lampoon and also highlights his seemingly perpetual need to be trained by Bo-bobo. Pronounced Heh-poe-koe-mahr-oo
================================================
Hatenkou's name means "unprecedented". The greatest reason I can figure Sawai chose to call him that, besides being humorously corny, is that he is the first character he created after his 49 chapters of initial materials had run out, as he mentions in Volume 5's inside cover. By the way, his name is pronounced "Hah-ten-koe".
================================================
Dengakuman's name is from a food called "dengaku" (pronounced "den-gah-koo.) It's fish or tofu impaled on a stick that is covered with miso sauce. The "man"'ning of his name, I believe, was popularized in Japan by the Kinnikuman comics and Mega Man series, where seemingly all characters are dubbed "something-man". Mega Man is known as Rockman in Japan, and that along with the fact that Kinnikuman is also singular, is why Dengakuman is officially one word, and not two. For an American example, think Superman or Batman.
================================================
Hajikeing, whether used as an adverb, pronoun, or whatnot in the series, is when somebody has the ability to change in a split-second. The best western examples I can give in comparison to a hajikelist, (which by the way, is parodying the word "duelist" from Yu-Gi-Oh!) are Bugs Bunny and Genie from Disney's Aladdin. The literal meaning of this seldom-used word is an expression of bowling over in laughter; but in Bo-bobo, it takes on a more powerful meaning, and is crucial to understand for the full enjoyment of the series. Btw, Hajike is pronounced "Hah-jee-kay". I will translate the word "occasionally".
===============================================
In SA 77, there is a boy by the name of Chombo Kopoli on a bike calling out for "Kiki". In Miyazaki's 1989 film, Kiki's Delivery Service, there is a character named Tombo Kopoli who looks very much like Chombo, who befriends Kiki. That is the joke here. Took me awhile to figure out, actually... However, in the Japanese text, he states that he doesn't break the rules anymore. You see, Chombo is homonymous with the word Chonbo in Japan, and Chonbo is also a term for a player who violates the rules in Mahjong; but since this is impossible to translate properly into the English language, the punch line has been switched to one regarding his Japanese and English voice actors and how he is not portrayed by them here. Also, chapter 77 is named after the Kiki's Delivery Service ending theme, "Yasashisa ni Tsutsumareta nara", or in English, "I'm Gonna Fly".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Squadala, we're off!" comes from the corny, noncanonical Zelda cd-i game "The Faces of Evil".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The attack "Mushy Magnum" is a joke on "Sunshine Magnum", an attack used by one of the main villains (Sunshine) from the Jump comic Kinnikuman. Sawai seems to really like the original series, but heck, a lot of people do... Interesting note: the character "Sunshine" looks very similar to Tennosuke in physique and shape, so that makes his using a parody of that attack even funnier. Also, the power-ups used in this chapter are DB-ish, and the attacks are primarily of the Kinnikuman persuasion, specifically "Muscle Docking" - a tag-team move used by Kinnikuman and Terryman multiple times throughout the series. That's why they call each other Bobo-nikuman and Terry-nosuke- they're spoofing Kinnikuman and his Texan friend, Terryman. Tennosuke's face looks just like Terryman's on that specific panel!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
On page 19, Bo-bobo states that Don Patch ate his curry bread back in chapter 8. Believe it or not, he actually did.

Beauty: What is it Don Patch...you're not konpeito?
(TN: Remember: "konpeito" is a particular hard candy that is Japanese in nature but originally from Portugal)
Bo-bobo: Tell us quickly.
Don Patch: Fine then, I'm only saying this once. In truth I am...
Don Patch: A WATER FAIRY WHO LIVES AROUND NATURAL WATER IN THE ALPS.

181.

Don Patch: Ah, if you drink this Alps water, you'll feel better. (Cause it's good for the body)
Beauty: TH...THANK YOU.
Don Patch: Well--then, I'll be quietly going too. N~~~
Beauty: EH? WHERE ARE YOU GOING!?
Don Patch: WEST GERMANY.
Beauty: THAT'S NOT THE ALPS!!!?
(TN: I really didn't know how to make Beauty's comment: I can't tell if she's saying "that's not the Alps" or "isn't that the Alps", particularly since the Alps do actually go through the former West Germany barely around the southern-eastern area, though it isn't as prominant or notable as other Alpine countries)
Don Patch: WE'LL MEET AGAIN, PAL. I WON'T FORGET YOU.
Bo-bobo: Well, go now and come back! Pal.
Don Patch: BAYER--N
(TN: "Bayern" is the German name for "Bavaria", so I kept it in the Japanese reading which is the same as the German one)

Beauty: ...Even Don Patch-kun has gone too.
Bo-bobo: Beauty...it would be best for you too to enjoy this brief moment of peace.
Beauty: Bo-bobo......
Bo-bobo: Soon all of us will meet up again.
Beauty: !
Bo-bobo: Perhaps Tsurulina the 3rd is still alive. If I'm reading this correct, a fiercer fight is waiting for us soon from here on.
Bo-bobo: Beauty, will you loan me your power again at that time?
Beauty: OF COURSE!!! IT'S A PROMISE!!

Beauty: WE'LL...(out loud) Well I'll be going too.

Beauty: That one year later, we would meet again to face a new powerful enemy.
Narrator: At that moment, in the apartment of a certain mangaka
Don Patch: NOW DRAW, SAWAI!! HURRY AND DRAW MY ACTIONS. YOU'RE NOT GETTING A VACATION!!
Tennosuke: I WILL SHINE IN PART 2!!
Sawai: GYAAAA
(TN: Sawai occasionally draws a chick in his talks, that's his personification in this universe)
Forehead: Sawai
Don Patch: UOOOO, JUST WAIT---!!! BECAUSE WE'RE REALLY GOING TO STIR THINGS UP AS SOON AS WE RETURN--!!!
(End of Volume 21)
(Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo (classic/pt. 1) - END)

TN: Well, I can't believe I'm saying it but...we've reached the end. With this chapter, the first book of Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo is finally closed, after nearly five years in Weekly Shonen Jump, a Toei-animated series, several video games and a whole bunch of minds who've probably lost it in one way or another. They've been through blocks G, H, C, A, Z and even a Hajike one, faced down all of the Heavenly Kings, crashed through the futuristic Cyber City, ran amuck a massive amusement park filled with former Maruhage, defeated an underground force lead by the emperor's brother and even stopped the Hair Hunt once and for all with a confrontation of four of the Hair Siblings...and let's not get started on how many Hajike jokes, Nu jokes, "I'm a torpedo" and poop and Oyabin bits...and every single freakout from Beauty, Heppokomaru or someone else! (oh and officially...9 fusion forms not counting weird stuff like Forgiveness Mask or Gunkan's Jagged Heart thing) Somehow I sort of wish that we got to this point sooner or that it came about in another way but I was extremely happy to take the ride with you, even if I didn't do it from the beginning. (but I am tempted to do the first twenty chapters just to be a completist someday) It's really hard for me to say how I feel getting to this point that has eluded people for so long, showing the full English script of what has happened...for one thing, I'm surprised I was able to get it done within the year considering I started translating the series back in April! But hey, I know someone is reading this part here and I sort of want to thank you for following along with me as I made this journey all the way to Shinjuku station...but of course if you think this is the end of Bo-bobo, you've got to be joking! While it won't be as fast or furious as the original, I will be starting Shinsetsu Bo-bobo soon enough...I really don't know if I need to create a new section on Mangahelpers to do so but I'll be getting it done when I can from here on out. (while concentrating on some other projects instead...yeah the translating bug won't leave me that easily)

Getting past the nostalgia and the weird sigh of relief being faced from completing pt. 1, the chapter in itself was just sort of a weird breather continuing from last time but slightly building up to what's coming in Shinsetsu. The running gag of Bo-bobo's group wanting to run around playing video games in Shinjuku was funny but did seem to go a bit long...even if the last comment he made was great. It was weird to see a Japanese landmark actually in the story (and not some weird simulation akin to Goisu's Kyoto stage), unfortunately this is one of the really weird factors that will probably end up driving people nuts in Shinsetsu...but we'll get there when we do and I'll explain why then. On the other hand, the bits regarding everyone leaving sort of was appropriate for each and every character, ranging from the dramatic (Softon hinting at the problem while leaving back to Babylon) to the nostalgic (Heppokomaru going back to complete his training...nope, no spoilers about how he returns to the story) to the enigmatic (it's great to see Hatenko trying to track down Ba-baba but...never mind) to...well, Tennosuke. (his lie about running away from college and then getting run over and blown up again was just one last but hilarious bit in the part regarding...well, his typical status) And Don Patch's fairy story...no I doubt we'll ever really know what he is but I think that konpeito is as close as we're getting...but water fairy is a good enough excuse for the moment...well for Don Patch anyway who can be anything he wants. Probably the strongest factor of the chapter is Beauty: in a way outside her tsukkomi moments, she is the soul of Bo-bobo's team and the only really normal human of the group who goes along mostly to keep the others in line and to give Bo-bobo an inspiration to fight. Sure she doesn't like everything they do but she is just as crucial and the glue keeping these nuts from tearing each other apart. Beauty never gets the appreciation she deserves...it's a shame but for all her freakout moments she is cute, courageous and just a nice girl stuck in a world of weirdos. Without her, there really wouldn't be a Bo-bobo...well OK many would say it would be better without her but manzai needs a tsukkomi and I'm just too used to her now and don't think she's as annoying as most make her out to be.

I really wish I could do thanks now to everyone who brought this series like I did at the end of Chagecha...but consider this a little breather. The first, classic part of the story is over but Sawai has more to tell with it so it will continue on. I'll probably have to create a "Shinsetsu Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo" section when I start with chp. 1 (or should I just call chp. 1 "231", I dunno), but we'll figure that out when the time comes. So, until the story continues, this is StrangerAtaru saying..."By the time a year passes, be prepared for boys with tongues, magical girls, vampires, babies, the 23 wards of Tokyo and...a koala with a calendar." Mata ne. https://mangahelpers.com/t/strangerataru/releases/7895 [English] [Translation] Bobobo-bo bo-bobo 229 by StrangerAtaru 2008-12-16T21:13:15+00:00 StrangerAtaru admin@mangahelpers.com With the combined power of himself and his eight greatest allies, Bo-bobo has finally defeated Bibibi-bi Bi-bibi! The world and all it's hair is finally at peace! Which means it's time for one thing...

Bi-bibi: ………KU, I’VE LOST…

Be-bebe: About Ba-baba, Bo-bobo had knocked his escape pod into space twenty years ago.
Bo-bobo: DORYAAAA
Beauty: HE—DID!?

162.
Be-bebe: Since he was a kid, Bo-bobo was a fully-incredible power, forgiving and cool, filled with dreams in his empty-head-type of man.
(TN: Be-bebe’s explanation of Bo-bobo here includes the names of two songs prominent in the anime version of “Dragon Ball Z”: first opening theme “Cha-La Head-Cha-La”, which is the “forgiving and cool” part of the explanation, and first ending theme “Detekoi Tobikiri ZENKAI Power”, which fully translates into “Come out, fully-incredible power”)
Beauty: HE WAS…
Hatenko: This time…I treaded on Ba-baba was returning to the Hair Kingdom alongside Bi-bibi’s ambition…but I guessed wrong.
Be-bebe: Big bro Ba-baba perhaps can’t come back from space. The hair quarrels didn’t possess any meaning at all for him from the start.

SFX: SHAKE SHAKE
Caption: TO BE CONTINUED

TN: We're about to reach a strange crossroads now...and this chapter is living proof of it. On one hand, Bo-bobo's "farewell time" is a true comment on the status of this chapter: we only got one chapter left and the original "Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo" will be over. But on the other hand, with that dramatic and shocking move by Tsuru Tsurulina the 3rd (come on, Bi-bibi is just is getting over the battle...but then again some villains like to kick them when they're down), the countdown to pt. 2 is finally on! Somehow while Tsurulina the 3rd had his creepy moments in his arc, everything Bi-bibi's done has just drained me so much (he was just...that good as a boss) that to see him return once again as villain in the next series makes me wonder how he's going to top it! (the 3rd does try and there are a lot of elements to his master plan...but when Shinsetsu starts, we'll get into those) Meanwhile...I'm just trying to figure out the whole reason behind the "Ba-baba was in space" explanation Be-bebe pulled out here. On one hand, Hatenko did hype him up but...sure he probably may not have known everything either (he is Hatenko and probably is lost in thought on all things Oyabin if he was told before) but somehow I feel dissapointed that suddenly this is what was pulled out. How could Ba-baba not care about Bi-bibi's control after his talk with Bi-bibi at the start of the arc? Was he just giving his support from afar while thumbing his nose behind his back? Did Sawai have a plan for Ba-baba in the first place...or was this turnaround always planned? It just felt strange...sure we have an explanation but at the same time it doesn't seem sufficient enough. Maybe someone needs to talk and see if this was part of his gag or if he had more planned, whether in Hair Kingdom or Shinsetsu. But with those nitpicks out of the way, there were just too many memorable moments in this chapter, from Tennosuke's latest "sympathy speech" (which seems to mimic the one he did with Ruby...I think it was more directed to Vita and Min cause he's just that way with little girls) to Bo-bobo's "non-party...never mind" bit to, in perhaps the funniest gag in the chapter, Bu-bubu revealed she went to her own funeral the moment she came back to life! (all that work to save her and she goes to her own funeral? Yeah...Bu-bubu really is out there) After all the tension of the Bi-bibi fight (heck, the whole Hair Kingdom arc in general), it's great to have a wild, relaxing Hajike-enfused chapter as one last amazing hurrah! It's a bit of a shame that we really don't see any of the other Hair Siblings again after this (we get cameos near the end of Shinsetsu but that's it)...but the next chapter belongs to the leads. The finale of the first part is here and it's time to see all nine of our Hajike weirdoes off until the start of pt. 2...and that will be next time! https://mangahelpers.com/t/strangerataru/releases/7894 [English] [Translation] Bobobo-bo bo-bobo 228 by StrangerAtaru 2008-12-16T18:48:13+00:00 StrangerAtaru admin@mangahelpers.com The time has come: the fate of five siblings, nine allies and an entire world and all it's hair comes down to one final attack...but this time, Bo-bobo's going to need everyone to finish this!

Bi-bibi: BO-BOBO—
Bo-bobo: HAIRSTINCTION
(TN: It’s been a long time but we’ve got another bizarre pun regarding the kanji and the reading of the word in this final attack. The word here is read as “kejime”, which is “a distinction between right or wrong” understood by a person. However, the kanji used here are “ke” for “hair” and “jime”, which has several meanings including “binding”, “tie up” or, in this case “putting up hair”. Both versions worked rather well for the bit but I went with “Hairstinction” to combine the two)
Bi-bibi: GUGYAAAAAA!!!
Beauty: A BEAR APPEARED FROM BO-BOBO FROM WHICH ANOTHER BO-BOBO EMERGED-----!!!!

TN: So what would Dengaku Man's attack have been if he wasn't completely shut out in that final attack: a massive Dengaku hammer? A more powerful honey-butter tank!? More raisins!!? I sort of feel sorry Dengaku Man was ignored (again) for perhaps the culmination ultimate attack of the series but...Z-Block was sort of strange so the gag made sense. Outside that little nitpick, you can pretty much say from here to the day after tomorrow how amazing that final attack was...and it's still wouldn't be enough! Sure it was just a huge hodgepodge of the whole series (they destroyed Pomade Ring before meeting Tennosuke...well OK, Heppokomaru came first but that came after A-Block) in one massive thrust of how uber these gags have gotten but it really just culminates everything we've been through and then some! Probably the only real bit I never quite understood was the scene where Bi-bibi is fretting in the past about the leaving hairs...I mean I sort of get everyone leaving due to the Maruhage invasion but that part felt strange like he tried to have them stick around when he conquered the land but no one wanted to live in a hollow out shell of it's former glory. We never really have too much data sadly about why Bi-bibi did what he did outside his arrogance and obsession to humiliate everyone outside himself...but considering he was unsavable, I guess he was just mad and wanted to rule over everyone without sharing. Well...though the final battle is over and Bi-bibi is finally defeated, we still have a couple more chapters left but...they'll mostly be denouement...and setup for what's coming next...but hopefully you stick with me to the end on this since if Sawai isn't done, I'm not either! (unless Tennosuke does Hard Gay again...that's just many levels of wrong even with the cultural reference) https://mangahelpers.com/t/strangerataru/releases/7884 [English] [Translation] Bobobo-bo bo-bobo 227 by StrangerAtaru 2008-12-15T19:30:23+00:00 StrangerAtaru admin@mangahelpers.com Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo has returned, with the guidance of his allies and a great power from the greatest of Hajikelists!

Beauty: KYA!!
Torpedo Girl: WAN WAN WAN WAN!!
Beauty: WHAT? TORPEDO-SAN IS SUDDENLY BARKING AT BO-BOBO!! WHY!?
Torpedo Girl: ONE ONE ONE ONE
(TN: The first reason: “Wan” can also be a reading for “One” in Katakana)
Torpedo Girl: WAN WAN WAN
Torpedo Girl: WAN WAN WAN
(TN: The other reason why Torpedo Girl is barking, with “wan” as a reading for “King”)

Bi-bibi: Haa haa
Bo-bobo: This new power is born from an inconclusive massive power that’s become embodied…The name it’s called is “HAJIKE”! Unbelievably it’s descended to me……
(TN: Just like “Shigeki” had another reading later on when Shigeki X transformed, “Hajike” in this case has a special three kanji reading which here is made out as “Supreme Hearse Camlet”, with a “camlet” being a fabric usually sewn of camel or goat’s hair)

Bo-bobo: IT SEEMS WE’RE AT CONCLUSION TIME. THE FATE OF THE HAIR HUNT THAT WE’VE CROSSED AN ETERNITY FOR.

TN: Who knew that a bunch of explosions could be...so exciting! It's strange that the ultimtae power of Extra Dandy is tied to stepping on Landmine Dandy and therefore taking the consequence...but basically if anyone sets it off, Bi-bibi takes the damage so it's all good. I sort of wish Don Patch took part in this penultimate battle against the final enemy with how weird it got (landmines in flower beds?) but...since he's Don Patch, he's got an excuse...but somehow Tennosuke and Dengaku Man were just tossed around. Meanwhile, I'm still a bit confused about Torpedo Girl: one thing I never really like about her is that she's so unstoppable that she dissapears and reappears at random. Sure I get that her power would make the battle too easy but I sort of expected more from her this chapter than recognizing her dad now powering Bo-bobo...and tearing Tennosuke up again. But we've finally reached what essentially is the climax: with Bi-bibi at his limits, the final fate of everything (well for this part of the series) will be determined once and for all...next time! https://mangahelpers.com/t/strangerataru/releases/7824 [English] [Translation] Bobobo-bo bo-bobo 226 by StrangerAtaru 2008-12-12T20:29:48+00:00 StrangerAtaru admin@mangahelpers.com With their options dwindling and allies falling one by one, it seems no one can even get near Bi-bibi! But with Bo-bobo dead, the only option left is to bring him back...and Be-bebe and Hatenko are already on that!

Hatenko: Right.
Be-bebe: It’s a sink-or-swim bet, but first we have to cut our Hair Balls in a special manner, and once we become apparently dead, we’ll go to the after-death world. We’ll find Bo-bobo there and give him our own hair power directly from our souls, reviving him in this world.

SFX: DODODO
Don Patch: So shall we settle this? Which of us is the real main character?

TN: It's somewhat amazing that everything that Bo-bobo has done and what he is known for all has a meaning and a purpose in the end. By defeating Rice all those volumes ago, he was able to obtain the power needed both to revive and to defeat Bi-bibi...and that was while Hatenko & Be-bebe go after to save him! Of course everyone expected it to be Don Patch...but in a way, he's the most important Hajikelist in this universe so to make the mistake is a common and typical one. But heck, it's weird that they would know of him down there...but of course Don Patch has been around and done a lot so who knows how much he probably has done and how it has impacted his and other lives. Speaking of Don Patch, is it pitiful or hilarious to say that Don Patch returning just because he realized that he may not be the main character (even if the title was obvious) was just a stroke of genius! Obviously making a a realization like that would easily make one angry...so it did it's job. And then there's Landmine Dandy...it's weird he's dead after what Torpedo Girl said way back but at least he's important where he is...and thanks to him, Bo-bobo may finally have the means to stop his insane brother and save everyone while he's at it! (unless Don Patch finally takes the main character position he's been dreaming about) https://mangahelpers.com/t/strangerataru/releases/7820 [English] [Translation] Bobobo-bo bo-bobo 225 by StrangerAtaru 2008-12-12T17:50:29+00:00 StrangerAtaru admin@mangahelpers.com In the midst of the greatest tragedy...with the greatest enemy preparing to take them all...someone will stand up and face this ultimate evil...and it isn't who you think.

Sunglasses: If you look closely, you’ll accept me as a part of Bo-bobo.
Sunglasses: By the way, about that dot in “Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo”…That’s actually me. It would have been terrible if they cut me…BOBOBO-BO BO-BOBO!! You can’t say that all at once, you need to breathe! That there makes me important.
(TN: Basically this is a weird poke at the title of the manga: basically the “dot” is part of the Bo-bobo title, where we just use a space to cause the breather between “Bobobo-bo” and “Bo-bobo”)

TN: The only real thing I can say this time is that...the first two pages of this chapter really should have been the last two pages of the last chapter. As tragic as the cliffhanger with Bo-bobo's Hair Ball was, seeing his dead face (even with...those eyes...yeah, Be-bebe isn't the only one) would have just been more shocking. Other than that there's little to say: Beauty kicked so much butt in this chapter and Be-bebe and Hatenko are starting to prepare to bring Bo-bobo back...but that's for next time! https://mangahelpers.com/t/strangerataru/releases/7802 [English] [Translation] Bobobo-bo bo-bobo 224 by StrangerAtaru 2008-12-11T16:16:16+00:00 StrangerAtaru admin@mangahelpers.com Facing his strongest opponent yet, up against the mastermind behind the horrendous Hair Hunt, Bo-bobo must use all his power and abilities to stand up to big brother Bi-bibi so he can...WAIT, PICKLES IS ALIVE!?

TN: There's little you really can say after reading this chapter. Somehow Sawai has just upped the drama and created even more tension, even with a tragedy here or there (poor Bu-bubu...and who knows where Bo-bobo stands without his Hair Ball) in this climactic final showdown! Sure there were funny moments...but there's so much drama you can't say much on what they did.

Oh, there is the whole Pickles matter too: yeah, he was annoying. At least Don Patch made it short. https://mangahelpers.com/t/strangerataru/releases/7791 [English] [Translation] Bobobo-bo bo-bobo 223 by StrangerAtaru 2008-12-10T20:46:59+00:00 StrangerAtaru admin@mangahelpers.com In one swoop, Bi-bibi has verified himself as the mastermind behind the original destruction of the Hair Kingdom!

Beauty: YOU’RE PICKLES--!!!

TN: Wow...has there really been a chapter so impacting and serious like this before!? Sure there were still gags and really silly moments, but somehow that merely softened the impact of the revelations that are coming out, particularly Bi-bibi being the mastermind of the Hair Hunt and the horror of Kegari Shinken! I can't say if it was that obvious considering he already revealed prior that he destroyed the Hair Kingdom just to rebuild it in his image...but the way it was done, both with destroying potentially one of the most powerful Bo-bobo fusions yet (come on, he fused with Torpedo Girl, that has to be monumental and a tad insane in itself if it weren't so short!) and merely with him basking in his traitorous actions against all hair even with his lineage just made it all the more shocking! We've had evil characters in this series before from the emotionless (Tsurulina the 3rd, Halekulani) to the insane (OVER, Giga) to the downright nutty (Hydrate), but Bi-bibi just proves more and more why he's definately the definitive threat of the series. As for other moments in this chapter...yeah, Pickles is finally back. It's sort of bizarre he hid as one of Bi-bibi's daughters just to do so (even if we sort of see her again later so it's not like he was there since she was born) but it's one of the main reasons I think why he never returned sooner. And speaking of Bi-bibi's daughters...what took Sawai so long to come up the second name of them? Yeah, Tennosuke's bit with Vita and Min where he proved himself in some ways worse than Bi-bibi was hilarious but you have to feel strange that with all the other names Sawai throws out the first panel they're introduced for the most minute cameos, to know that their names were "Vita" and "Min" just from their interactions proved that...well, I don't know what it proved but it's about time he shared them! (and BTW: I just finally realized the pun in those girl's names...put them together and you'll see ;p) https://mangahelpers.com/t/strangerataru/releases/7786 [English] [Translation] Bobobo-bo bo-bobo 222 by StrangerAtaru 2008-12-10T18:01:45+00:00 StrangerAtaru admin@mangahelpers.com Twenty years ago, the Hair Kingdom was destroyed by the Maruhage Empire, leaving the five humanoid Hair Siblings adrift. Now, as Bo-bobo and all of his allies finally reach Bi-bibi's castle, the truth of this tragic day will be revealed...and the final battle of all hair will begin!

-Outside Don Patch, the trio are dressed as Kinnikuman characters. (Bo-bobo: Warsman; Dengaku Man: The Ninja; Tennosuke: Ashuraman)
-Don Patch is yelling Kusa kusa as his dialogue, which is Japanese for “grass”, which he was just eating

The numerical aspect of Don Patch’s TF form is a reference to 2004-2005’s “Kamen Rider 555”, where all forms and attacks are connected to numerical combinations that are read as various words/puns, while the belt-based transformation is a reference to 2003-2004’s “Kamen Rider Blade”, where the transformation mechanism is connected to the belt power)

Beauty: FOR NO REASON, OMEN PATCH 530 FROM THE PAST HAS APPEARED-----!!!

TN: There's only one thing you can say after reading a chapter like this: it all makes sense now. The reason Bo-bobo went to the Maruhage Empire, the reason he fought the Hair Hunters, why he and TUYOSI were so desperate to escape all those years ago...it's like everything that had happened from the first chapter on finally just comes in full view with the truth revealed, like a dim light bulb suddenly brightening in full glimmer! Somehow he probably forgot a bit (since it took Hatenko forever for him to get that info to him...proving that he and Bu-bubu at least got back there first), but you can at least see that this is the moment why Sawai had everything set up from the beginning and, barring any real cancellation early on, why the Hair Kingdom was being saved for the very end of the story! (well that and the whole "Fist of the North Star" comparison but that's mostly due to the whole idea of the evil, dominating, controlling brother being faced down by his youngest brother...even if I doubt too many would want to compare Bi-bibi with Raoh) Probably the only real weird paradox of the situation is that, once again, Don Patch knew Bo-bobo before he really "knew" Bo-bobo...I mean sure, the first time during the flashback in the Be-bebe fight he could have ignored him with the glimmer he had towards that "cat" that was his brother, but here you obviously see the truth of the spiky warrior in the armor being someone extremely familiar! (maybe it's just me reading too much into it though) But hey, even thinking of Bi-bibi's whole plan altogether is just creepy: destroy home, cast out your siblings...then rebuild it in your own image...somehow you have to wonder why Tsurulina didn't think of whom he was helping in doing this. (but the 4th was never that good of a leader, was he) Anyhow, with most of the past revealed, the real battle with Bi-bibi can get started next time...and who knows what will happen in this final battle! https://mangahelpers.com/t/strangerataru/releases/7776 [English] [Translation] Bobobo-bo bo-bobo 221 by StrangerAtaru 2008-12-09T19:51:47+00:00 StrangerAtaru admin@mangahelpers.com She's the most powerful...the most mature...the most "adult" fusion Bo-bobo and Don Patch have ever become!

However, while the “Ka” kanji seems prominent here and is usually used either for species of mosquitoes (the kanji’s meaning is “mosquito”) or with “tonbo” for “crane fly” (which is known to eat mosquitoes), “tonbo” by itself is a “damselfly” in Japanese. It probably would make more sense for Tennosuke to say “I’m a crane fly”, but the skirt seems to make him more making me think he’s trying to say he’s a damselfly. But then again, he has a sucker like a mosquito…)

The actual Jump issue which this chapter was released in was September 12, 2005, the election where the Post Office was privatized was the day before on September 11th, meaning that this joke, which probably was written a few weeks before, predicted this decision)

TN: So I guess there's one real question I have for this chapter: can someone explain what the true purpose of "adult" was in this chapter? I sort of get that was Junko's main purpose and her abilities and attacks were extremely clever but...I think that most of the image of "adult" really wasn't as executed as well as many of the other fusion concepts. Probably her best attack was the salaryman typhoon...since that at least sort of involved other adults...but I think you have to just go with the flow. But hey, seeing Tennosuke turn against his own "race" (if you call tokoroten blobs that) to act mature was probably one advantage...I think somehow "adult" should have been some measure of maturity but there really was no maturity whatsoever regarding this. And as for her punishment as "Shigeki X isn't adult enough"...well what then is adult!? OK, maybe I'm overanalyzing this but at least this is obvious: Shigeki X is no more, the Hatsumou Shishi are done, and only Bibibi-bi Bi-bibi remains! And that battle begins...next time. https://mangahelpers.com/t/strangerataru/releases/7751 [English] [Translation] Bobobo-bo bo-bobo 220 by StrangerAtaru 2008-12-08T20:10:19+00:00 StrangerAtaru admin@mangahelpers.com Bo-bobo and Don Patch: trapped.

“Goku”: COOLER—
(TN: The reference is really strange but bare with me: if you remember the original concept of Super Saiyans in “Dragon Ball”, it was supposed to be a unique transformation which occurs in one particular Saiyan in a very, very long time, particularly one who appears in times of great crisis. Of course in DB, that Saiyan happened to be Goku, who awakened the SSJ power against Frieza. But aside from the whole “well the other Saiyans and half-Saiyans awakened it later” bit that happens post-Frieza arc, note that the one Goku is yelling out for isn’t Frieza…but his big brother Cooler, who only appeared in two movies created by Toei. And of course, since the 5th DBZ movie occurs essentially after Goku defeats Frieza…and when he was still the only SSJ, then it makes some sense)

TN: I think it's time to tell you a little story now that we've finally reached this point. This story is simple: it's about why am I translating a series that is so out of the spotlight. Why is it that I'm doing the work for a series that hasn't been in Jump for over a year now, a series many people call bizarre and many others think of as stupid or ridiculous. (many of whom watch American shows which, while I refuse to name them, are much stupider and more obvious in their humor and extremely overrated IMHO) Well to tell the truth, part of the reason if you haven't followed up until now is seen directly in this chapter by way of one character...who should be obvious by now knowing me and reading what I've written before. I guess it all started because I am a big Bo-bobo fan in the first place: it's an extremely fun and underrated series, probably ignored to many shonen readers and blasted by those who don't get it. I somehow got it...and somehow when I saw Viz was only releasing Hallelujah Land a long time back, I decided to get the whole series in Japanese on my own. It was worth it, both to get ahead of the anime where it was in the English dub and to go further to see the insane twists and turns the story took much later on. I knew Japanese (somewhat even if I admit I'm not perfect) and used a bit of that and a bit of my own interpretation to get what happened through the story. However, after the anime's end in the US, the series started to seem to depart from the spotlight. Viz decided to bring more Bo-bobo over in their Shonen Jump magazine, but they still hadn't started from the beginning: they started from Cyber City. I was a bit dissapointed: what about all those brilliant earlier arcs that came before Halekulani and Giga: didn't Viz care at all? I went to check on a certain manga distribution page to see if there were translations to maybe at least fill in the gap...and that's when I saw it: the translations were only up to the end of volume 2! Sure they had the beginning and C-Block, but the series was dead and most likely was going to stay dead here. Heck, all they needed was two more chapters and they would have been starting A-Block, allowing for the real true exposure of Tokoro Tennosuke to appear in this country outside the anime! (which, BTW, really wasn't being rerun at all and who's DVD deal fell through without the backing of a huge company like Viz or Funimation) Being a Bo-bobo fan...heck, being a Tennosuke fan, I was outraged: wouldn't people want the original Japanese story...or even just the manga version to see how Sawai's art evolved? Wouldn't people who read the English manga want to see everything before Hallelujah Land...heck, wouldn't anyone even maybe eventually see the series after the anime!? That's why I went into action: though I haven't had any translating for years (I did some Nube in college but only did 9 volumes...and tried to join a couple groups but I always the last to know anything so I quit them), I wanted to at least see A-Block out there for anyone who wanted it, to see Tennosuke fully revealed and hopefully to see everything that happened.

And here we are now: my 200th Bo-bobo chapter...and it's mostly a Tennosuke chapter...yeah he was brought to the forefront in my 3rd chapter but still (almost said he was introed there but he was introed way back in chp. 2 with that cameo...). In fact, this chapter is probably the biggest Tennosuke moment in the series, going from joking about "not being tofu" to revealing his personal hatred of tofu...to finally releasing all his sorrow and anger on the most powerful tofu warrior in the series, taking him down! I didn't plan for this to be my 200th, but that's just ironically how it turned out...and in fact, just seeing Tennosuke throw that final attack that brought down Wandering Tofu down (though it was Shigeki X who actually sort of killed him after that...) was just such a monumental moment for his character, showing that after all his cowardice, sorrow and Nu jokes, he is one of the forgotten formidable forces in the series...maybe no Bo-bobo or Don Patch, but he does get a lot of the best gags. In a way, while I can't specifically said I translated all the way from A-Block to the depths of the final block of the original just for this moment, I'm sort of happy that this was the moment that was included in my 200th translation project for the series.

Oh, and as for the rest of the chapter...well OK, this chapter is just epic in other ways outside the final Tennosuke/Wandering Tofu showdown. The defeat of the X-Space and the rise of Yokohama Junko is just so epic yet so natural in the Bo-bobo way, turning an attack against itself and turning it into a gag that actually makes sense! (as is Tennosuke's expression and Shigeki X's arrogance as she makes her move) Probably the only problem I did have with the chapter is the continuing evolution of uselessness of Goisu: not only is he now no longer have no real reason for revenge but he's officially become a de-facto tsukkomi with Beauty down and Heppokomaru still not saved! You do have to wonder why Gunkan could have him as a brother...but that's a tiny blemish on an ultimate chapter! https://mangahelpers.com/t/strangerataru/releases/7624 [English] [Translation] Bobobo-bo bo-bobo 219 by StrangerAtaru 2008-12-05T20:34:02+00:00 StrangerAtaru admin@mangahelpers.com Finally reaching the 4th Floor of the Extremely Shigeki Tower, the strange Shigeki X has transformed into a horrific, humanoid being! But does this new form and personality really turn him from a goofball to the ultimate threat?

(End of Volume 20)

TN: It's really one of those things that I'm wondering, if Shigeki X was that horrible being all that time hidden in that weird spiky Don Patch-esque creature...then how or why was he that thing in the first place!? It's obvious that a massive threat like him would easily be the 1st Division Commander and Bi-bibi's right-hand man (heck, it's even scarier that Tsurulina the 3rd, who lived 100 years ago and was brutal in his own right, would know of his existance too, proving that some of his "kid" comments with Don Patch proves he really is a lot older than he looks), but why was he that other thing? I know the next chapter explains a bit more...but while I should just say "it's Bo-bobo, things like this happens all the time" (see Torpedo Girl), the fact that Don Patch never turned into some weird humanoid and is some spiky ball creature 24/7 makes the whole thing a lot nuttier. Well outside questioning who/what Shigeki X really is (and knowing that the threat and his position is for real), the only other weird factor going on...is that the last two, pathetic members of the Hatsumou Shishi are defeated on screen...which while showing how stupid they are (Seafood Shinken?) at least is better in showing off the whole squadron compared to...well, the Maruhage forces of both past and present where we never meet all 26 leaders. Oh, then there's the 3rd himself...yeah, he's still searching for a Hair Ball but this certain matter will end up screwing things up much further down the line. (not in Hair Kingdom...more like the story that starts when he gets what he needs...) But forgetting about the further future for the moment, we still have the near future: with 20 volumes of Bo-bobo down, only one volume of the original is left! And trust me, this final volume...well, I can't say what happens but hopefully you'll love it just like you like the rest of the series! See you then! https://mangahelpers.com/t/strangerataru/releases/7600 [English] [Translation] Bobobo-bo bo-bobo 218 by StrangerAtaru 2008-12-04T21:06:06+00:00 StrangerAtaru admin@mangahelpers.com As if the 3rd Floor of the Extremely Shigeki Tower wasn't already bad enough, the 4th member of Team Shigeki has been revealed...to have been defeated by hostage Bu-bubu! But that's merely a fraction of Bo-bobo's problems now...

Ougi 218: Shigeki vs. Hajike

150.
Narrator: The fourth warrior who was the Hatsumou Shishi’s greatest and strongest assassin was somehow Be-bebe but……he was already defeated by Bu-bubu!! Furthermore, Bu-bubu was also eating the “Legendary Narazuke”, the key for clearing the Kyoto stage.
Shigeki X: AAAH……

Bu-bubu: Of course…It will be a death match now between “Unitaro” and “Matsubokkurin”.
(TN: I really didn’t feel right translating the Japanese names but essentially “uni” is sea urchin and “matsubo” is pine cone…you can figure it out)
SFX: POINT POINT

Bo-bobo, Don Patch & Tennosuke: UWAAAAAA
Beauty: KYAA

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”)

163.
Beauty: THAT COMMON IDIOT SHIGEKI X HAS REVEALED HIMSELF INTO A SEEMINGLY DANGEROUS BEING!! THAT IS……

Beauty: BO-BOBO
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. https://mangahelpers.com/t/strangerataru/releases/7597 [English] [Translation] Bobobo-bo bo-bobo 217 by StrangerAtaru 2008-12-04T18:32:10+00:00 StrangerAtaru admin@mangahelpers.com Trapped together in an inescapable 3-Legged Race through a simulated version of Kyoto, Bo-bobo and Beauty must search for a jar of legendary pickles, avoid all the traps of this nightmarish city, avoid their merciless enemies...and maybe crash Don Patch & Tennosuke's date!

Goisu: WHAT!?
Bo-bobo: THAT’S BECAUSE I CAN USE THIS “DAIBUTSU SCOOP” THAT WAS SOLD AT THE KYOTO GION FESTIVAL!!!
(TN: The Gion Festival (or “Gion Matsuri”), is a famous Kyoto festival through the month of July, particularly known for a nightly festival similar to many temple festivals with various foods and games such as goldfish scooping)
Beauty: DAIBUTSU SCOOP!!? YOU CAN’T GET THOSE ACCURSED ROCKS DURING GION!!

SFX: VROOOM
Beauty: Wait, I’m looking at a Kyoto map now.
Beauty: There’s a place where Narazuke could be hidden…I’m suspicious they may be at Sanjuusangendo.
(TN: “Sanjuusangendo” is a notable Buddhist temple in Kyoto. Beauty is right to suspect there, considering that monks are notable for making pickles as part of their vegetarian diet)

Don Patch: ISN’T THIS THE GRAND LINE!!!?
Map: ALABASTA / SKY ISLAND
(TN: Obvious reference to WSJ series “One Piece” by Eiichiro Oda, with Alabasta and Sky Island/Skypiea both prominent destinations in the Grand Line visited by the Straw Hat Pirates)

Shigeki X: TAKE THIS: KYOTO TRAP: MAIKO GIRL’S RED UMBRELLA CUTTER!!!
(TN: A “maiko” is Japanese for “dancing girl” and notable as the term for an apprentice geisha in Kyoto. This is the traditional image of geisha: a girl under 21 years of age who wear elaborate kimonos with elaborate hair and makeup)
SFX: SLASH SLASH
Don Patch & Tennosuke: GYAAAAA----!!!
Shigeki X: YOUR CRIMSON BLOOD WILL FLOW LIKE MOMIJI: COTTON CUTTER!!!

(TN: A Dragonball attack, “Mafuuba” is a special energy attack used to trap an evil opponent in a Denshi Jar, but forces the one who does it to sacrifice their life to use it. This was the attack originally done to trap the evil Piccolo Daimiou prior to the start of the series and was used (and failed) to stop him during the actual series)

145.
Goisu: I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT……BO-BOBO.
Goisu: IT’S OVER!! DIE: BAZOOKA SHINKEN SAIDAI OUGI: KATAMARI DAMACY!!!!
(TN: Alright, this is a weird one but keep up: the attack Goisu released is called “Katamari Damacy”, just like the popular 2004 video game where an extraterrestrial prince comes to Earth to roll up everything in your path to create new stars to please your father the king. In fact, even the “Katamari” part is the exact same word which means “clump” or “mass”. However, the “Damacy” here is slightly different: the “Dama” is the kanji “Tama” for “Ball”, while the “cy” or “Shii” (as it’s read in Japanese) is actually another kanji which stands for “murdering one’s lord or father”. Thus the full translation of Goisu’s attack is “Clump-Ball Lord-Killer”. BTW: “Saidai” = “Ultimate”)

SFX: CRUNCH CRUNCH
Bo-bobo, Beauty & Don Patch: THAT GIRL HAS THE LEGENDARY NARAZUKE KEY AND IS EATING THEM ON HER OWN----!!!!

TN: Well Be-bebe finally got his wish of working for his brother...but unfortunately it's probably short lived. Yeah, Bu-bubu is his big sister and essentially should be within his own patronage mindset but to get tossed around offscreen by her really shows that maybe he isn't the best person to do this, Hair Sibling or not. Aside from him, the chapter sort of has two weird matters that I sort of want to get into. First of all is Goisu: I get that he wanted revenge on Bo-bobo considering he was willing to fire the entire Kyoto field in one massive katamari...but for what!? Why the heck did Goisu want revenge on Bo-bobo? Was it because of Gunkan? Was it just for betraying the Hair Kingdom (which obviously he isn't from if his big brother isn't from) And didn't he realize that Bo-bobo and Gunkan are (sort of) still friends even after all that happened in that previous arc? And what the heck made him obsessed with having an entire Kyoto field outside the katamari bit: is he and Gunkan from some sort of society like that and matched up with him like what we saw with Wandering Tofu and Shigeki X? He really never had too much development compared to Gunkan...but then again, not too many villains outside bosses (or crucial characters like Be-bebe) ever do. And the other weird matter: thanks to all the Kyoto references in the last two chapters, I've been really, really busy with the references! I know many of you probably know of Kyoto better than me but it just felt like I had to look up everything from deer to maple trees just to make it work! I sort of hope Sawai lets me be next time...but with how the references have returned in force since at least the Be-bebe fight (or maybe the start of Hair Kingdom), I doubt it. https://mangahelpers.com/t/strangerataru/releases/7566 [English] [Translation] Bobobo-bo bo-bobo 216 by StrangerAtaru 2008-12-03T19:09:05+00:00 StrangerAtaru admin@mangahelpers.com Wandering Tofu has transformed into a massive tofu cube preparing to squash everyone in his path...and the only one standing in his way is Tennosuke!

Bo-bobo, Don Patch & Beauty: WHAA!!?
Tennosuke: THIS STEMS FROM THAT~~~!!?

120.
Wandering Tofu: Long ago, we had gone to petition the tennis association to make tofu the official ball in tennis…That was because we thought the king of soybeans, “Tofu”, was appropriate for a white ball…this was our great candidate.
Wandering Tofu: ……However, for the reasons of “They crumbe!”, “They don’t bounce!” and “They go bad under the hot sun!”, they were rejected.
SFX: SQUASH SQUASH MELT
SFX: Of course.
Wandering Tofu: …But we didn’t give up!! We appealed with our great selling point: “You can eat them if you’re hungry during the match” and petitioned the tennis association once again.
SFX: LICK
Wandering Tofu: IT WAS REJECTED
SFX: BAM
Beauty: Oh, of course.
Wandering Tofu: With that unfair conclusion, we who didn’t understand went to the holy land of Wimbeldon (out loud) PLEASE. THOSE WHO SIGN THIS WILL BE GIVEN SOYBEANS. (narration) And began a petition campaign to “Use Tofu Balls”! We wanted to convince our enthusiasm to everyone.

121.
Don Patch: WELL—PTEW
Wandering Tofu: Eventually, we only gathered two signatures and didn’t accomplish it…

Goisu: I’ll go and explain this! Hidden somewhere in this Kyoto labyrinth is the “Legendary Narazuke”, which will become the only key to go to the 4th Floor. Can you discover where while avoiding our attacks?
(TN: “Narazuke”, also known as “Kasuzuke”, is a particular pickle based out of Kyoto from the Nara period. The pickle is made by soaking a white melon (other fruits or vegetables such as cucumbers, eggplants or other melons) in a mixture with a sake alcohol base as well as other attributes such as mirin, sugar or salt.)

Dengaku Man: BOILED IN AN IRON POT~~YOU’RE KILLING ME BY BOILING ME~~~!!

TN: Tofu tennis balls...everything Wandering Tofu is angry over is thanks...to tofu tennis balls...sorry, but thinking of the whole concept that possibly one of the most powerful characters in the series is angry because people won't use tofu tennis balls just has to be one of the funniest tragedy stories yet! Of course he sort of maybe denied it later but you do have to wonder what it takes to be torn towards the other side in this series...heck, with everything Tennosuke's done, at least him being a former Hair Hunter makes sense compared to many of the other weird stories out there. But then again the whole fight was about the strength, tenacity and hardness...of two soft, wobbily beings who both use Purupuru Shinken! I think that having hard shields out of soft food items is bizarre but that's the fight we just came out of...but then again, now we're entering into war with deer with bazooka between their antlers and rolling, squashing Buddhas! But hey...it's not their fault that this is what Bo-bobo's team has to put up with day after day. https://mangahelpers.com/t/strangerataru/releases/7549 [English] [Translation] Bobobo-bo bo-bobo 215 by StrangerAtaru 2008-12-03T02:33:57+00:00 StrangerAtaru admin@mangahelpers.com Bo-bobo's team may have conquered the first level of the Extremely Shigeki Tower, but the second is a nightmare that can only be dreamed up...by tofu. (or a very militant vegetarian) Can the quartet handle this hell of soy products!?

Bu-bubu: I CAN SEE ALCOR ABOVE YOU.
(TN: The expression Bu-bubu is speaking of is in regards to the star “Alcor”, a faint star within the constellation of Ursa Major, also known as the Big Dipper. The star is also known as “Shichousei” in Japanese. In the WSJ series “Hokuto no Ken” (“Fist of the North Star”) by Buronson & Tetsuo Hara, this faint star is seen as an omen of death (such as the Japanese name of the star being read with “shichou” standing for “Deadly Omen”) and is noted to be seen above certain characters who are about to die in a fight)

Narrator: At that moment on the top floor
Dengaku Man: FIVE ARREMERS ARE COMING TOO---!!! WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO ME!?
(TN: The "Arremers" are referring to the "Red Arremer", a notable creature from the video game series "Ghosts n' Goblins" (Japanese Name: "Makaimura") by Capcom. The first major enemy faced in the original game, the creatures have become notable as the mascot of the franchise with one of them, Firebrand, even getting his own video game series parallel to "Ghosts 'n Goblins")
Caption: TO BE CONTINUED

TN: Aside from the growing nightmare of Dengaku Man's video game horrors, this is just one of those chapters where it just feels like anyone can handle the problems...unless you're Tennosuke. As if it were bad enough to get crushed by Wandering Tofu on his home turf, having to go through an entire puzzle where tofu cubes are running rampant, all your hard work is streaming right by your eyes and your ultimate weapon...is a slightly upgraded Nu handkerchief (seriously...polka dots!? If it weren't so hilarious you'd think it's just Tennosuke reaching the bottom of the barrel) really shows how nightmarish it has gotten. Meanwhile, Shigeki X isn't getting any smarter...which means his gags remain as crazy as ever (you do have to wonder how he could be the most powerful of Bi-bibi's men if he gets squashed by tofu cubes and goes for a drive with Bo-bobo...but that's the answer for another time). And Torpedo Girl...yeah, she'd never get captured in anything. Considering she's probably one of the most powerful characters in the series, you can understand how the heck she got out of whatever hell she was put in...well that and why she doesn't fight that often. And speaking of fighting...you do have to wonder who that fourth person of Shigeki X's team is and why they're taunting Bu-bubu... https://mangahelpers.com/t/strangerataru/releases/7538 [English] [Translation] Bobobo-bo bo-bobo 214 by StrangerAtaru 2008-12-01T21:21:49+00:00 StrangerAtaru admin@mangahelpers.com Get your flipper fingers ready: in order to get past the first stage of the EST Tower, Bo-bobo's team must go through an Extremely Shigeki pinball game!

TN: Well I think from the moment we saw the word "Shigeki" in the tower's name, we should have figured that Shigeki X was going to manipulate it to his own advantage. Heck, putting Koshigeki as the "men behind the curtain" is a cruel but useful trick...but heck, Don Patch doesn't use his own Kopatch for anything like that. (sure there is his stuff as Don Patch but that's just a means for special techniques and not literally manipulative cheating). But outside that goofball, this chapter does seem to show off the other two members of the squad: yeah, we know of Wandering Tofu (though the whole "spider-like tofu...with a guitar" bit was probably one of the funniest visual gags in a while), but at least Goisu finally has background as...Gunkan's little brother!? Yeah, it was sort of surprising and finally did clear up things but the sad thing is that...well, as amazing as the Gunkan arc was, he really hasn't been that relevant to the story after his defeat outside being slashed up by OVER and not being one of Hydrate's sacrifices. (and using his ducktail to help everyone get up to the Yamiking) I guess it's a typical shonen thing (what with the relative of someone important or crucial reappearing out of nowhere to fight the main characters) and it is surprising that he's supposedly was the leader of a country (as opposed to Gunkan who at least shows off leadership abilities while he has done little compared to Shigeki X and Wandering Tofu) but...well, unfortunately, you'll see one of my big problems with Goisu later but for the moment at least he has a little bit of noteriety. The tower fight continues next time...until then, hone up on your shougi cause you won't know when it will be needed! https://mangahelpers.com/t/strangerataru/releases/7536 [English] [Translation] Bobobo-bo bo-bobo 213 by StrangerAtaru 2008-12-01T19:15:40+00:00 StrangerAtaru admin@mangahelpers.com Three towers down, one to go!

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... https://mangahelpers.com/t/strangerataru/releases/7456 [English] [Translation] Bobobo-bo bo-bobo 212 by StrangerAtaru 2008-11-26T20:31:21+00:00 StrangerAtaru admin@mangahelpers.com Beauty may have finally confirmed that Softon is her big brother, but she and the others have little time left before Icen sends him to Babylon Hell!

TN: Well now that it's all over, I'm about to get a bit personal with my comment...(takes deep breath)...I think we've just witnessed a bunch of nothing. No, this wasn't the worst fight in Bo-bobo history...but it probably was one of the most chaotic. I guess the way to understand my thought line is this: the only real purpose of this fight was to reveal Softon as Beauty's big brother...which it did. But that's probably the only really good thing that the fight dealt with if you think about it. While Yuuko/Icen was a fun villainess, she really never explained anything further about the power of Babylon and just seemed to further the theory that the whole thing is just one giant poop joke. Hell Dolphin was there for the contest...and Shell was more controlling the fight more than the rest of them. (let alone this: what was the Club Stage for anyway, let alone the whole dance fight in the previous chapter?) And that Yabou...heck, if you find out a character's name from his defeat profile, you know how much he did. He merely just smirked, made a comment back when the arc started about promotional opportunities, then took every single attack thrown at him! What was Yabou's point!? And of course there's the whole Kesshii Keshi Keshi aspect on Bo-bobo's side...OK, it's a bit clearer now but...only a bit. This isn't like the Fine fight where no one could replace anyone (see Tennosuke taking over for Softon) but why was Dengaku Man part of it (doing as little as Yabou) and Torpedo Girl (who had that beginning match with Hell Dolphin and part of that super-attack) not? Heck, why wasn't Tennosuke melting in the water like he usually did!?!? I know, I'm making too much out of nothing and there were good moments...but this one was really flawed for a lot of the decisions made at certain points. Oh well...at least with this one down, there's one tower left before Bi-bibi...of course it's obvious that Shigeki X will be coming up considering he hasn't moved from said tower...but hopefully it isn't as chaotic. https://mangahelpers.com/t/strangerataru/releases/7453 [English] [Translation] Bobobo-bo bo-bobo 211 by StrangerAtaru 2008-11-26T15:54:36+00:00 StrangerAtaru admin@mangahelpers.com 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?

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)

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. https://mangahelpers.com/t/strangerataru/releases/7442 [English] [Translation] Bobobo-bo bo-bobo 210 by StrangerAtaru 2008-11-25T19:34:51+00:00 StrangerAtaru admin@mangahelpers.com So Softon is Beauty's brother...hold on, Softon is Beauty's brother and we're talking about fan-created characters!?!?!? How the heck did we get from one storyline to another!?!?

Japan’s rejection of this declaration ultimately lead to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki)

(TN: I know I really should have translated that but since it was an Ougi I didn’t. But basically it translates to “BO-BOBO 4TH ANNIVERSARY ANNOUNCEMENT COMMEMORATION CHOUOUGI”. Meanwhile, “Big Orange Tower” is actually a weird homage to the classic 1966 Japanese drama “Shiroi Kyotou”, or “Big White Tower”, which is about the affairs of a hospital. It was remade as a drama both in 1979 & 2003)

SFX: DA
Don Patch: UWA, SHE’S COMING HERE!
SFX; GOOOO
Bo-bobo: WE HAVE TO PROTECT SOFTON!
SFX: GA
Yuuko: THAT’S BECAUSE I’M THE SAME AS HIM: A FEMALE WARRIOR OF BABYLON

35.
Bo-bobo: HER FACE CHANGED!!!!
Icen: MY NAME IS ICEN. Your seal is being removed because it’s resonating with my Babylon.
Heppokomaru: WHAT--!! THERE’S ONE MORE BABYLON WARRIOR HERE?
Beauty: WHAT ON EARTH DOES IT MEAN FOR A REMOVED SEAL!?
Don Patch: THAT’S NOT THE QUESTION HERE---!!! HER NAME IS “ICEN”. “SOFTON” ISN’T POOP, IT’S THAT HE IS SOFT-SEEEEEERVE-----!!!
(TN: “Soft-Serve” is known in Japanese as “Soft Cream”, which is the name for “Soft-Serve Ice Cream” in Japanese)
Bo-bobo, Don Patch & Dengaku Man: WE REALLY HAD BELIEVED HE WAS POOP ALL THIS TIME UNTIL NOW. THIS IS, THIS IS REALLY---UWAAAAAA!!!
Beauty: IT’S REALLY GREAT HE’S SOFT-SERVE!!!
Softon: ………You’re concerned. I’m not sure myself whether I’m soft-serve or poop…
SFX: SU
Don Patch: ……GREAT……IT’S REALLY GREAT……YES YES
Beauty: ……………………For what?

36.
Icen: When Babylon meets, it is there that a test is born. Watch…this is “Babylon Foresight”, where the worst future will happen.
Softon: ……Aah……I’ve heard that you have a foresight that should never happen in this world when two Babylon meet…
Softon: I REALLY AM SEEING THE WORST FUTURE THAT SHOULDN’T HAPPEN.
“Beauty”: I AM TOILET WARRIOR BEAUTY!! I WILL FIGHT WITH ALL MY MIGHT FOR THE BATHROOMS OF THE WORLD!!! KAPPON!!!
“Beauty”: IN OTHER WORDS, URINALS GO KAPPON--!!!
SFX: DADADADADA
Voice: STOP, BEAUTY--!!
SFX: ZUGA
“Beauty”: KYAAAAA!!
Softon: ………IT IS THE WORST.
SFX: WHAM
Beauty: SOFTON-SAN
Don Patch: SOFTON’S GOT A FUTURE THAT MAKES HIM KNEEL!!
Bo-bobo: WE REALLY DON’T GET IT, BUT WHAT REALLY IS THAT GRAND FUTURE!!?

37.
Softon: My important one’s death…that’s what’s predicted. Perhaps this future is my crime and punishment for my carelessness in using the Babylon power…
SFX: SHUUUU
Icen: If you can climb over this future, then you can gain a new power again.
Softon: I’ve decided the road to travel having seen this future…
SFX: SHUUUUU
Softon: I CAN’T LET MY LITTLE SISTER BEAUTY DIE WITHOUT HELPING HER!!! I’LL THROW AWAY ALL OF MY BABYLON POWER!!!
Bo-bobo, Don Patch, Tennosuke & Dengaku Man: GYAAAAAAAAAA, SOFTON’S BECOME A HUMAN----!!!!
Hell Dolphin & Shell: GYAAAAAAAA, POOP HAS BECOME A HANDSOME GUY-----!!!!

TN: And so the mask is finally removed...and there he is, Softon's true form...officially. (not counting the insane start to the previous chapter which ignored everything that really happened to reveal it first) You need to wonder why Sawai really didn't go into this matter much sooner in the story: sure he has hinted at it a few times (once in Softon's very first appearance, another way back in Z-Block) but the Softon/Beauty connection has mostly been ignored outside a few subtle moments here or there! Maybe this was part of the big plan...but at the same time this probably could be due to Softon really not being that popular. (heck, you saw Don Patch trying to trade his position in the ranks during the 3rd fight, people just don't like poop-faced weirdoes) But hey, he had no choice: Icen was there and he saw his sister in bathroom equipment being killed...if it weren't for the tragedy it would just be considered ridiculous. Surprisingly outside the Softon situation (and Tennosuke being ignored after crashing through on a massive tofu cube...but that's par for the course), the chapter mostly seemed to get on my nerves, whether it's just Hell Dolphin going on and on about his contest origins or the fact that it didn't really feel like a real battle. Maybe it will be fixed up next time...but with Softon's situation only going to go from bad to worse, who knows what next time will be like! https://mangahelpers.com/t/strangerataru/releases/7432 [English] [Translation] Bobobo-bo bo-bobo 209 by StrangerAtaru 2008-11-24T20:46:58+00:00 StrangerAtaru admin@mangahelpers.com Two Hair Kingdom towers have been taken care of and Bu-bubu's squad has entered the third! But without Bo-bobo, Don Patch & Tennosuke around, it's going to be another long, dull, unshocking chapter with no major revelations...

Since “Souseki” really doesn’t have a reading on its own, I decided to use “stubborn” as the translation)

(TN: “Mysterious Thing X” is a common name for an “unknown object” in Japanese culture. One prominently known means of this is through the Japanese title “Yuusei Yori Buttai X” or “Thing X from a Wandering Star”, which is the Japanese title for the 1951 American sci-fi film “The Thing From Another World”. [strangely enough, the John Carpenter 1982 remake “The Thing” was given the Japanese title “Yuusei Kara Buttai X”, which translates to the exact same title])

TN: Well I think you all need an explanation...no, not about the Softon matter, that will be handled another time. What we need to explain is more pressing to this chapter: the fan-created characters! Basically it's like this: around the 4th anniversary chapter of Bo-bobo (around the start of Hair Kingdom), Sawai & WSJ held a special contest where the readers of Bo-bobo had the chance to create their own characters for the series. While previous character submissions were used for the Bo-bobo video games, this was the first time Bo-bobo proper got the same treatment. Three winning submissions would be chosen, with the grand prize winner...having their character being one of the 6 most powerful of the Hair Kingdom commanders! (which considering the previous comments is a definate honor) Well for some reason...Hell Dolphin won. I don't get why a dolphin with legs and a taste for humans would win this but Sawai must have seen something original in it. Even the cover art of this chapter was Sawai-chosen...well he chose it and then replicated it with his own touches. (trust me: the winning artwork had Tennosuke alive) Since this chapter was mostly just an extended prize announcement (outside...that beginning), we'll get to the real fight next time...where that beginning will get a bit more cleared up! https://mangahelpers.com/t/strangerataru/releases/7430 [English] [Translation] Bobobo-bo bo-bobo 208 by StrangerAtaru 2008-11-24T18:09:50+00:00 StrangerAtaru admin@mangahelpers.com The battle against the possessed Gokurakuchou is complete, but there are still some unresolved matters: what will happen to the container? What about those other two he was fighting with? What about Be-bebe's alliance? And...why did this fight happen again?

(End of Volume 19)

TN: You have to feel sorry for Tennosuke: having to come all this way only to lose to Wandering Tofu...well OK, Tennosuke has been thrown around, beaten up and had his body torn, ripped, shredded and blown up millions of times by now...but this one really hits in the soul. His hatred of tofu really feels justified...and while I think he may have been homaging Roronoa Zoro with his huge declaration at the end, I can't say it really is that moment or not, but you can really feel that he feels just as badly as Zoro losing to Mihawk the first time. I guess there's a bit of sorrow as well for Gokurakuchou: the kid just wanted to be useful to Bi-bibi but is just now thrown away like a shedded hair that falls after living it's life. (only to grow back when the follicles are ready) I guess when failure isn't an option, particularly when you loan your own body to be used by your leader, you see the horrors of war in a weirder setting. Be-bebe's departure is another weird problem...of course he's coming back but he has his own conflicting feelings both regarding Bo-bobo and Bi-bibi and which side to be on. And as for those other two...yeah, they're losers, they deserved nothing. (even if it was weird seeing a cameo character from vol. 2 return now) Well, two towers down, two to go and two volumes left...and considering Bo-bobo, Don Patch and Tennosuke aren't with the other team, I really, really doubt anything's going to happen next time... https://mangahelpers.com/t/strangerataru/releases/7295 [English] [Translation] Bobobo-bo bo-bobo 207 by StrangerAtaru 2008-11-21T21:14:12+00:00 StrangerAtaru admin@mangahelpers.com Bo-bobo's lost his nosehair, Be-bebe's had half his leghair removed, Bi-bibi head hair controls all, and Don Patch...is just there.

Bo-bobo: OF COURSE, OF COURSE, WE’RE KETSUKETSU’S!
(TN: This is a weird language joke: Don Patch refers to the two hairs together as “Ketsu” with “ke” as “hair” and “tsu” as “two”. But then he furthers the joke by using “ketsu” in “ketsuketsu”, which is slang for “butt” (probably a slang version of “Kiss My Ass”), thus the comment about “mainly the butt”)

Bo-bobo: I win.

TN: Wow, this was just such a rush of a chapter with everything going on in this massive battle (it's not climactic considering that it's still not the real Bi-bibi but just Gokurakuchou possessed by him)...so where do I start!? Probably the easiest place to start is that it does appear Sawai is showing more and more of being a fan of Obata's work...or maybe just Death Note. While it probably was evident that Sawai liked Death Note from the collab he and Obata did, the mere fact that Be-bebe uses L's thinking pose (and even bare feet) as an Ougi easily shows that he was greatfully influenced and interested in the series just as much as series such as Kinnikuman, DB and Yu-Gi-Oh! (though Don Patch as Ryuk...that was unexpected with all of Sawai's previous depictions with Bo-bobo as Ryuk and Don Patch as Light) Moving on, just the way that Bo-bobo and Be-bebe was able to combine their hairs together creating...well, a laser firing out of Bo-bobo's nose was classic, as was the "Hair Peace" gambit that worked out for all of them. (and forced Don Patch to turn into that silly mask that broke the connection between Bi-bibi & Gokurakuchou) Heck, even the idea of "Hair Peace" is hilarious: considering it's just a type of wig, them turning it around into such a crucial and powerful attack was clever. And it's always cool to see King Nosehair attack even if Bo-bobo's power is sealed off: he really needs to do it more often when not involved in Bo-bobo World. (sort of like how he used him way back in vol. 1) And of course, I can't forget the beginning of the chapter: you can already tell from the few pages it had that Tennosuke vs. Wandering Tofu...is epic! I think it's obvious now that tofu and tokoroten mutually hate each other equally and the meeting of the two only means death and destruction...but we could have gotten that for a while now. https://mangahelpers.com/t/strangerataru/releases/7261 [English] [Translation] Bobobo-bo bo-bobo 206 by StrangerAtaru 2008-11-21T18:46:00+00:00 StrangerAtaru admin@mangahelpers.com It's a battle not of brotherly love: Bi-bibi has made a long-distance possession of one of his own warriors and is determined to use it to take out Bo-bobo! (and Be-bebe while he's at it if he can't fix things) Can either of them do anything against this stand-in?

The “Teru” is a reference to the vocalist of the Japanese band GLAY. For once, I tried and actually did well keeping the Japanese intention of the pun but making it in English)

(TN: “I don’t have a child’s appetite” is an expression “Tabezakari”, which stands for “the hearthy appetite of a growing child”)

TN: Bibibi-bi Bi-bibi...is scary. To think he's this unstoppable even when not even in person and probably not using his full power...and with both Bo-bobo and Be-bebe knocked down in front of him...yeah, that is just scary! And I used to think the hair on people's head is more respectable...well OK, I'm not shaving it off, but somehow it really is dominant and more respectable in society...well compared to nosehair and leghair. Speaking of which (though I mentioned it in the chapter notes): what is that fifth hair style that Ba-baba has? I mean, I'm all set on it being chesthair and yet here it is stated as possible armhair...which is it, Sawai!? Well, outside the brotherly war, I'm sort of happy King Nosehair has reappeared in a non-Bo-bobo World situation. (heck, it's his first time he's done that since probably C-Block...and even then it was when Bo-bobo World was introduced so it could go even back to his first apperance!) And as for the war at Tofu Dojo...well you can't get more epic than the last two pages: tofu and tokoroten are finally getting it on! https://mangahelpers.com/t/strangerataru/releases/7236 [English] [Translation] Bobobo-bo bo-bobo 205 by StrangerAtaru 2008-11-20T20:21:17+00:00 StrangerAtaru admin@mangahelpers.com Against previous warnings, Bo-bobo and Don Patch have invaded West Shampoo Tower where Dengaku Man was taken...and have brought 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.)

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!!!

Don Patch: THAT FACE WERE NUMBERS!!

Gokurakuchou: Fu…that was fun. It’s time for “that man” to come.

Voice: KAMINOKE SHINKEN!!!!

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: 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...)
