Background
Hallelujah Land is one of the Maruhage Empire's most powerful bases, but similar to A-Block, it is also a massive theme park. However, Hallelujah Land is most popular and profitable them park in the empire, as well as the entire world. Connected through the empire's transportation network, Halekulani, the owner and boss of the park, allows for easy access and availability for all who wish to entertain themselves. But there's a cost for all who go there: every single attraction comes with a fee, forcing everyone to add to Halekulani's already tremendous wealth. And at the very moment the attraction no longer makes profits, the mad leader cuts his losses by blowing it up (even if people are still inside)! On another note, Hallelujah Land also uses harsh slave labor in order to construct new rides.
Later after Halekulani's defeat, Bo-bobo, Don Patch, and Tokoro Tennosuke decide to rebuild Hallelujah Land. Tennosuke proposes that they rename the park, "Tokoroten Land", while Don decides they should plant rubber gloves, both ideas of which are put into action. However, after 30 minutes, their park idea obviously flopped since no one showed up.
However, we do see later that Halekulani returns to his park and retains control even after his own defeat.[1]

Hell Killers
(ヘルキラーズ, Heru Kirāzu): Just like Gunkan and OVER before him, the Hell Killers are Halekulani's five strongest warriors, working within the confines of Hallelujah Land sent down to take out any intruders to the park, such as Bo-bobo.
Galubel the Fresh-Blooded
(鮮血のガルベル Senketsu no Garuberu)/Garbel of Manicura: A man wearing completely black clothing, Galubel is the first of the Hell Killers and the guardian of the "Candy House". He has the power to lengthen his nails and control their motion and their movements with ease. He meets Bo-bobo and Tokoro Tennosuke after they sense his "presence" in the Gingerbread House (In reality they just wanted to some sweets). He does major damage to Tennosuke right from the start of the fight, but his mistake comes from the fact that one his nails cut Beauty in the arm. An enraged Bo-bobo puts a stop to his vicious nails with the help of "Dog-Face", a manicurist named Yasuko, and finally defeating him using a team-up move with Tennosuke that finally knocks out Galubel.

T-500
A cyborg who has a scouter built into his eye that reads power and ability, and wields two large guns. He is a member of the Halekulani's Hell Killers.
T-500 first attacks Don Patch after he takes over the Dasaiger stage show at Hallelujah Land. His only mistake when confronting the demented creature is saying that he is "part of" the Bo-bobo group, a fact that enrages Don Patch to the point where he claims to be the main character of the series instead of Bo-bobo.
He then proceeds to assault the cyborg mercilessly with a string of hajike attacks, confusing the cyborg and making his scouter useless. Don Patch then knocks him out with "Cheapskate Blues". Before passing out, T-500 believes that Don Patch is the main character and states then next time he will attack a lesser known hero.

Three Prison-Murderer Brothers
Main Article: Three Prison-Murderer Brothers
Other Members/Residents
Kanemaru
(カネマール): Kanemaru is a spear-wielding assassin who Bo-bobo and Tokoro Tennosuke encounter, during their train ride to Halellujah Land. He is able to stand on top of his moving battlefield without falling off, earning him the title of "The Greatest Man on Trains" (電車一の男, Densha Ichi no Otoko), also known as "Boxer on the Boxcar" in the English dub and "Number One Train Fighter" in the English manga. The same can not be said for the duo, as they continually slip off. After many attacks, Kanemaru accidentally impales Don Patch (who was sleeping in the car), allowing them to once again fight as a trio.
The fight with the trio seems to be in Kanemaru's favor, as the trio plow right through two tunnels, doing major damage to their scalps (Kanemaru was smart enough to avoid it by ducking), and are pelted by many tree branches. Kanemaru returns to the train right as it approaching Hallelujah Land, but Bo-bobo causes the train cars to separate. Kanemaru lands on one train car and steers it after the trio's car. After both cars completely decimate, the nearby "Space World" attraction, Bo-bobo decides that he has had enough, and defeats Kanemaru with his "Lightning Nose Hairball" attack (he electrifies Don Patch and uses him as a bomb). Kanemaru is not sore about losing, and gives Bo-bobo his title and the sash that goes along with it (at first, Bo-bobo is proud of it, but then throws it away after Beauty tells them that she's never heard of such a title).
After Nightmare's defeat, Kanemaru reports back to Halekulani that the rebels have broken into the theme park. Displeased, Halekulani turns him into a yen coin for his failure.
- Attacks:
- Free-Will Elastic Spear (如意自在槍, Nyoizai Yari)/Javelin Pole Vault Attack: Also known as Elast-A-Spear Stretch in the English manga. Kanemaru extends his spear to pierce the opponent.
- Spear Beam (槍ビーム, Yari Bīmu)/Power Orb Megatronic Ultra Beam Strike: Used only in the anime, due to censorship from characters being impaled.
- Triple Kill (三連殺, Sanrensatsu): A technique in which he uses his spear to stab the opponent three times in a row. In the anime, it was changed to three consecutive beam attacks, due to censorship.

- Trivia:
- It can be assumed that Kanemaru turns back to normal, after Halekulani's defeat.
- Kanemaru's staff is heavily edited in the anime. The scene where he impales Don Patch is replaced with him making numerous holes above Don Patch causing the ceiling to fall on him. The scene where he impales Don Patch and Tennosuke is replaced with him shooting them with his Power Ray attack.
- It is unknown how Kanemaru managed to avoid the tree branches in the manga. In the anime he literally disappeared, and then reappeared once the onslaught of branches was over.
Nightmare
(ナイトメア, Naitomea): A man with orange armor, two spaced buck teeth, and two horns on the sides of his head. On his helmet is the kanji 敵 (Teki, Lit. enemey) and on his back is the katakana ガキ (Gaki, brat). As the guardian of the "Small Child Area" of Hallelujah Land, he fights by taking advantage of being the only adult within his area. This comes in handy, as Bo-bobo and his group have been turned into small children thanks to the arenas power; this also cancels out their Shinken abilities.
Despite this, Bo-bobo fights back anyways, and ambushes the villain with a shark in a sandbox and a bottomless pit. Afterwards, Nightmare is lured into a pipe maze, where Bo-bobo attacks him with a flame thrower, Don Patch attacks him with two pistols, and is blown up by a grenade. Despite all of this, Nightmare survives, and unleashes his most powerful ability, "Death Nightmare", which make his victims' worst nightmares come to life. However, Tennosuke's nightmare is being tortured by tofu, Don Patch's nightmare is being surrounded by seven beautiful women wearing bunny suits, and Bo-Bobo's nightmare is playing basketball with kangaroos.
Finally, Bo-bobo decides that a fusion is needed to defeat the boss, and he and Don Patch try to become BoboPatch. However, due to the fact that they are small children, BoboPatch comes out poorly drawn. Nightmare makes the fatal mistake of underestimating his new foe, and BoboPatch winds up defeating him with only one attack.
- Attacks:
- Death Nightmare/Nauseating Nightmare: Nightmare fires a beam from his helmet and at the opponent, making their worst nightmare come to life.

Space World Aliens
(宇宙人, Uchūbito): A group of small aliens, who reside in the Space World attraction. The aliens are first seen minding their own business, until Bo-bobo, Don Patch, and Tennosuke decide to plow through the attraction, while latched on top of one of the train cars they were riding in.
As they drive through the attraction, the aliens desperately try to avoid being run over. Two aliens are seen pressed against the train window begging for help, as Beauty wakes up, which freaks her out, thinking they're on another planet. To add to the confusion, Kanemaru plows into the attraction, riding on top of another train car, and starts chasing them.
With both train cars chasing them, the aliens try to get to their UFO for safety, but both cars crash into it, blowing up the entire attraction. After the explosion, the aliens take their anger out on Bo-bobo for leaving them stranded on Earth. Bo-bobo yells at them and slaps them with his nosehairs.
In the climax of his battle with Kanemaru, Bo-bobo charges Don Patch with static electricity and uses "Lightning Nosehair Ball" against him, hitting the aliens as well.
