Translator Notes:

In the re-cap footage, the Gung-Ho crew reminiscent on their journey by taking shots at each other for their flaws.


Break makes a comment to Longrack talking about how conceited he is by using the expression - Tengu ni naru (天狗になる) or “to get conceited / to become vain”. He follows it up by saying rather than his nose being long (like a Tengu (天狗) or "heavenly dog", it’s his neck in this case. This is another play on words which only really works in Japanese, thus we’ve simply combined both Tengu and conceited to try and get the idea across.


Break uses a common proverb Inumoarukebabōniataru (犬も歩けば棒に当たる) which means “Even a walking dog will run into a pole.”


Break says “Muchasu! Muchasu! Muchakuchabba!” (無茶す！無茶す！無茶苦茶っば！) which sounds like “Muchas” which the Jointrons from Beast Wars II used to say quite frequently. This is probably why Colada says, “That sounds nostalgic”, after Break says that. We’ve decided to include the muchas to tie it back to that original word that was used quite frequently.


Mach Kick mentions a hot spring in Kusatsu. A Kusatsu Onsen is a hot spring resort located in Gunma Prefecture, Japan. There are 13 public baths at Kusatsu Onsen. The springs were a well known resort for centuries but they became one of the best known of such locations after the water there was recommended for its health benefits by Erwin von Baelz a German doctor who taught medicine at Tokyo University.


Colada uses a modified expression by saying, Hebininiramareta pengin tte iudarou (蛇に睨まれたペンギンって言うだろう) Where a penguin is mentioned, the original expression uses a frog, and should be Hebininiramareta kaeru tte iudarou (蛇に睨まれた蛙て言うだろう) or literally “A frog stands paralyzed on the spot when being stared at by a snake"


At the end of the episode Break manages to pull out a fake cherry blossom tree to be part of the backdrop of their graduation ceremony. In Japan, school graduations are during the month of March when school ends; and which is generally around the same time cherry blossoms are in full bloom. This is a common theme in Japanese culture.
