Cyborg Grampa-G 11

Ten years ago, a near-and-dear member of the Kaizous passed on: Tokijirou's beloved wife (and Kaizou grandmother) Kiyu. But with advancements in cybernetic technology, G-chan may finally bring her back...but that may not be a good thing!

Chapter 11: Welcome Back, Grandma!!

47.
Eiichi: Grandma’s been dead ten years? That was fast.
Kei: What sort of person was grandma?
Eiichi: Right, grandma was already dead by the time Kei can remember…
Eiichi: She was far more treacherous and malicious than even G-chan…(she…was a scary person…)
Kei: Huh? While we’re at it, I haven’t seen grandpa.
Yuu: He’s been shut away in his room since yesterday.
Kaizous: He…can’t…I foretell trouble.

48.
Kaizous: G…G-CHAN!!
G: WHAT’S WITH THE NOISE?

49.
Eiichi: G-chan, what on earth are you making again---!?
G: I THOUGHT THAT I WOULD REVIVE GRANDMA ON THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF HER DEATH! SHE’S NEARLY COMPLETE!
Eiichi: Wh…what? You’re reviving terrible grandma!?
G: You’re needlessly worrying. Though its grandma, she’ll be a younger grandma around 20 years old! A pure-maiden version with prominent proportions!
G: And she’ll support me with my agriculture. I’ll have fun farming again. Mu~~remembering my youth.

50.
G: And look! Her cyber body is entirely covered by plating, giving her a beautiful metallic finish! Grandma today throws away her name of Kiyu Kaizou; as a new cyborg, which she wasn’t until now, she becomes Cyber Metal Grandma Q!
Z: But Master! A dead person doesn’t have a brain! How then can you make her a cyborg!?
G: I didn’t miss that. Just before she died, I secretly removed her brain. I’ve stored it for 10 years together with the misozuke.
(TN: “Misozuke” is meat or vegetables pickled in miso)
Kaizous: BLE—CH
Eiichi: Huh? Doesn’t she resemble an idol who has appeared on TV? Even so…our grandma sure was beautiful.
G: Giku!?

51.
Yuu: Dear!
Z: Are we going to put this brain in the cyborg…
G: Hyo--!? What are you doing—
Z: If there isn’t a brain, then I’ll become a cyborg!
G: OK, Gantetsu, we’re a breath from perfection!
G: When I press this button, YOUNG Grandma will be revived!!
G: Hyo—Gantetsu, don’t push that weird button!

52.
G: Hyo---!?
G: Hyo!? Grandma is!?
G: Muoo!?
Q: I’M BACK~~~
(TN: I probably should have said “I’m revived” here with “fukkatsu”, but this makes it creepier…and yes, you can throw up now)

53.
G: HYO---!? GRA…GRANDMA!?
Q: Living in miso for 10 years has stunk~~
Q: I’ve revived as cyber metal that surpasses a cyborg. I’M CYBER METAL IRON GRANDMA Q~~~~!!
Kei: Wa—G-chan, what’s going on~~~!?
G: The button Gantetsu pushed arbitrarily made the computer confuse “Cyber Metal” and “Heavy Metal”. Further, grandma remodeled my appropriate model!

54.
Q: I’M HUNGRY~~~
Q: Food is delicious after ten years~~~but, everyone’s greatly changed in ten years.
Q: What’s that brat over there?
Kei: Br…brat!?
Eiichi: Hey…that’s Kei; you changed his diapers well.
Q: Oh—I remember diapers!

55.
Q: I really borrowed them when I had problems going to the bathroom.
Q: So—then, I’ll have tea after my meal.
Z: ?
SFX: PI---!?
Q: It’s already boiling.
Kei, Ai & Z: You’re…irresponsible, f**king grandma!!
Q: Wh—at, am I a f**king grandma?


56.
G: Stop being irresponsible!
Eiichi: G-chan, save them! She’s become far more malicious than when alive…
Q: You Grandpa! You’re really showing a face of unconcern in front of me---!!
G: Hyoo!?
Q: Do you remember? The night that I died…
G: Muu…you got a mochi stuck in your throat and when you confusingly ran outside, you jumped into a dump. At that moment, I knew that you already had contracted an incurable disease and you died from the shock. Everything about the death source was a heroic way you died.
Q: That day! When I was wandering between life and death! Where were you, grandpa---!

57.
Q: When I asked you to hold my hand, why didn’t you hold it?
G: You’re…wrong! My reason was…
Q: Do you want to hear my range resounding in ten-thousand octave!
G: Mu!?
Q: LAAAAAAAAAAAA
G: Hyo--!?
Narrator: This is a destructive technique where a ten-thousand octave super-high pitch wave, a characteristic of heavy metal, destroys everything that it hits!!

58.
Q: I was bitterly kept for the ten years together with the misozuke~~~
Q: Finally I can clear away this bitterness--!!
G: Hyo—
Z: Wa—my house---!!
G: She’s too lively in revival after ten years.
Eiichi: This is the greatest couple fight in history!!
G: OK, Gantetsu, please switch with me now!

59.
Q: I found something to eat for you—stupid dog!

60.
Q: This will end it~~~!!
Q: Kyu~~sour—
Q: DEADLY
Q: BEWILDERED EYE BOMBER—
G: Hyo--!? Th…this technique……
Narrator: BEWILDERED EYE BOMBER!!! From eating dried plums, Grandma Q’s face grimaces from the sourness. Her face sinks in deeply! And then her technique allows for the recoil to pop out her eyes!!

61.
Eiichi: Wa—grandpa, grandma, stop—the house…the house---!?
G: I’m already pissed. I can’t take this easy!!
G: STRONGER G!!!
G: Stronger G allows for my heated boiling blood in my body when my anger reaches its peak…

Q: Grandpa really is strong when he fights…
G: Grandma too…here…
G: My prided cyber body is crumbling.
Q: TH…THAT HARAMAKI…

64.
G: Forgive me, grandma…My sorrow brought me to tears, but I wasn’t looking and I was actually holding your foot when I thought it was your hand!
Flashback Kiyu: Uh…
Flashback Tokijirou: Hold on, grandma!
G: I’m sorry……
G: Finally…you can go to that world with grandpa’s hand…
Everyone: ……

65.
Q: Th…this is…a pendant with my picture. You still have it……
Q: Grandpa!
Q: WHO’S THIS?
Q: I’LL KILL YOU~~~!!
G: You…you’re wrong…she looked just like you…
Kei: Does this idol really resemble grandma?
Ai: Even idols become grannies when they get old…

TERRIBLE Q-CHAN’S PUBLICITY PHOTO
Q: Kekekeke~~~I made a publicity photo~~I put it in a picture frame on the wall and increased the grade in the room~~
Bottom: I signed it.
G & Gantetsu: HYO~~~!?

TN: Yes...you can throw up now. I don't mind the concept of bringing back the grandma of the Kaizous as a cyborg...but why the heck do we have to have the old-woman boobs that she has? I mean, Ill even take her preventing the "model-like" appearance G-chan planned for her, but at least cover up that part instead of letting sagging old-woman boobs hang bare! Yeah, I know it's a gag manga but it's just disturbing. (and no I don't mean Q's guitar) Aside from that fiasco (and Stronger Q...not on an old-woman, please), the chapter was just great set-up for the latest member of the cast, regardless of her...appearance. And it does seem that from how he acted in this chapter, Tokijirou and Kiyu are Eiichi's parents...how else would he know of their terror so easily.
