[Perevodildo] Magical★Taruruuto-kun TV (1990) - 01-10

As stupid and awkward as it is, you damn weebs were incessant enough to enforce upon me a switch to Iyona spelling. This and the fact the episode I'm working on right now uses this variant of romanization in too distinctive a way to ignore it and make things even more awkward. Yes, I had to .v2 all 5 episodes because of that one stupid letter and because I am myself quite the stupid. #1 is v3 at this point. Cringe as it is, it'll be even more of an ass to rerelease something like that deeper into the series. For that same reason, this second batch is arriving earlier than planned, instead of behind the schedule like I promised in the previous one.
Speaking of which, previous releases are https://nyaa.si/view/1619556 and https://nyaa.si/view/1631315 - you don't have to download them, but might wanna take a look at descriptions just to be all caught up on the lore and puns.
As for new episodes in this batch...
• Ep6 mentions the Yamatai kingdom as a way to refer to the time of its prosper. Was at some point tempted to replace it with "2-3 century AD" which is when the fabulous princess Himiko ascended to the throne, because I just refuse to believe even the hardboiled weebs can name the years of Yamatai's rule off the top of their heads.
• Also ep6 - Honmaru's dad made up a Jamatai kingdom that serves to parody the name of Yamatai on more levels than one: Yamatai is comprised by kanji "wicked horse country" and Jamatai by "evil serpent country," also yama means to stop and jama - to hinder. Naturally, this all is too much for a \an8 note, yet it felt unfair to just leave this info out and a dick move to replace them with "Stables Country and Den Country" since Yamatai was an actual state. Take this paragraph with a grain of salt though, as I am one overthinking bastard.
• Ijigawa Rui's name together means malicious/bullying - keep that in mind when there's an episode titled "I am Ijigawarui"
• (Spoilers) Episode 8 is baseball-centered, so be prepared that it's most likely the middest one in the series. For that same reason, I have perchance misused a bunch of baseball terms, because it was my first ever exposition to baseball & this episode alone was enough to wither away the remnants of my soul. It took 4 times the usual episode to translate. Gosh, I'm so glad I didn't listen to any of the dorks instigating me to pick up a baseball anime instead of Taruruuto. Unironically, whereas Honmaru was having a diarrhea in this episode, I was having a kind of fansubber's constipation.
• Also ep8: ichirui stands for "first base," but ichirui, in a way, is also, "one Rui" - keep that in mind somehow when the only runner left in the field is Rui and she in on the first base, so Honmaru says "runner is ichirui"
• (Spoilers as well) Ep9 sees the appearance of「 A vagabond panty-stealing rider, Venerealable Self-Pleasurer! 」 aka
I have to admit, I have no fucking clue what is zugopyu. I've spent 3 days rummaging japanese internet for hints, I've seen more CP than I would have realistically ever wanted to see, I deadass DM'd Tatsuya Egawa on facebook (Get WoH'd!), I had Kintariyo check the french version of manga for me, and I'm still lost as to what to make of it with only kinda sorta specious surmises about what it can be in sight. Everyone on pixiv uses this tag for their sensei mari's pubic hair arts, and everyone seems to understand the gist/reference perfectly and be cool with it. All I can say, zugopyu has something to do with perversions and masturbation (oh my fucking god I'm so glad I have this common theme, running like a continuous red line through all of my torrent descriptions, and boy you've not even seen the Okama Hakusho one since Collectr would likely sever ties with me if I post it), because while this character barely appears in the manga or in the series, I've found at least 32 doujins expanding the single one scene of sensei coming out of bath at him (no I'm not giving you the links, stop asking me in dms niko), and a bunch of other parodies only countable in numbers beyond my educational outlook. One of the devoted fans of such content also happened to share pfp with me, so I guess, whether I like it or not, we're cut from the same cloth after all. For now, I can just assume it's an Austin Powers tier joke which lies clearly beyond my competence. I've been here for so long, I deadass have 9 spare translations for his name in {curly brackets}.
