Urusei Yatsura Chapter 199 Discussion

The translation is weirdly inconsistent. It translates some Japanese words that don't need translations while leaving out other ones.



Space Vector Aho = Aho means idiot.



Soruto #1 = Soruto is the Japanese pronunciation of the English word salt.



Not sure how the translators missed these obvious jokes. Did no one proofread this?



Also, the thing that the Spice Girls want to be is a sukeban. Sukeban is basically a female delinquent. Kinda like yankis. They were extremely popular in the 80's with many films and TV shows based around them. They were seen as cool, at least in fiction.



The Spice Girls aka Sugar, Ginger, and Pepper think Lum and her friends were sukebans and they want to surpass them.
