Cyborg Grampa-G 28

With all the many problems occurring involving the Kaizous, father Eiichi and mother Yuu have actually been rather unscathed (aside from whatever Eiichi's dad...yeah, the cyborg, pulls). But the two of them may have other problems...

Chapter 28: Wedding Anniversary Panic!

49.
Eiichi: Fufufu, when my wife sees this, she’ll be surprised. It does come around once a year.
Eiichi: Ah?
Woman: Uuh…
Eiichi: Hey…what’s wrong with you!
Woman: My stomach suddenly…uuh…
Woman: Can’t you take me home?
Eiichi: We…well I can’t leave you!
Woman: You’re so kind, mister! My stomach pain seems to be better…

50.
Yuu: Kei, look at this for a moment.
Yuu: So how is this sweater that your mom’s knitted…
Kei: ……
Ai: Th…that’s a sweater!?
Kei: Ew—I’m not wearing that--! If I wore that, then I wouldn’t go to school anymore---!!
Yuu: No—way—it’s for your fa—ther!
Kei: Phew.
Yuu: Tomorrow’s our wedding anniversary. It’s quickly getting cold and I knitted this as a present. I feel that it is rather good for the first thing I’ve knitted but…
Kei: Time to stop, since you’ve got clumsy fingers, mom.
Yuu: ?
Ai: Only an alien would have the physique for the sweater you knitted.

51.
Eiichi: I’m home—
G: Hyo!?
Eiichi: Buwa!?
Kei: What was that!!
G: What’s going on---!?
Yuu: WHA~~A, WHAT ON EARTH IS THIS KISS MARK, DEAR~~~!! AND~~THIS LONG STRAND OF HAIR ON HERE---!!
Kei: Ah—dad, you’ve finally done it--!
Ai: I thought this would happen someday.
Q: Eiichi has been a pervert since he was a brat—even now he peeps whenever I take a bath—
Kei: Let me ask, grandma, were you in your Young Version when you’re in the bath--!!
Ai: What are you—asking?

52.
Eiichi: Wa…wait, I’m not guilty about that! Listen to what I say first……
Kei: Da—d, it’s best you admit you’ve mistaken quickly!
Yuu: I’ll kill you----!!
Eiichi: Well I’ll explain…Buwa!?
Eiichi: You’ve—already decided! You should quiet and listen when your husband pseaks, you idiot---!!
Yuu: Wha—a, I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you—
Z: Ah~~that’s my protectors!!
Q: Kekeke, do some more, mom! I’ll loan you my bazooka---!!
Yuu: Ugii~~~
G: Mu, so then, here’s a flame-thrower----!!

53.
Kei: G-chan and grandma are feeding the fire---!
Man: That hosue over there is noisy over something again…
Woman: That’s really bad—
Eiichi & Yuu: ……
Kei: It’s ri—ght to apologize, mo—m.
Ai: Pops was wrong too.
Eiichi & Yuu: ……
Yuu: There’s no question that he was wrong. Thus, I can’t forgive him…
Eiichi: You must have mistakened me. I’ve done nothing bad.
Voice: Pardon me
Sign: Toki-G-Rou Kaizou
(TN: Note that “G” is the “Ji” in “Tokijirou”, G-chan’s real name)

54.
G: Who is it, we’re busy now……
Woman: Fufu
Woman: I’ve come for your da~~d…
G: Hyo!?
Woman: Ah—you’re really here. You saved me taking me to my house last night.
Eiichi & Yuu: !?
Woman: We—ll, aren’t I ple—ased for meeting you last night?
Yuu: …
Eiichi: Wh..what are you doing here!!
Q: So she’s Eiichi’s bimbo partner~~
G: She’s…so pretty~~~
Kei & Ai: This isn’t the time--to admire the affairs of othe--rs!!
Kei: This…is bad.
Yuu: …………
Yuu: I’M GOING HOME TO MY PARENTS!!!!

55.
Ai: Going home…
Kei: Is she possibly speaking of divorce…!!
Yuu: I’ll get my things immediately!!
Eiichi: Yo…you’re going home…
Woman: I’ll take you part-way to work.
Kei: We’re in a pinch, si—s.
Ai: Dad and mom are breaking up.
Kei: Further, if dad goes off with that woman……
Gantetsu: ?
Ai: Then how are we going to live----!!
G: Don’t worry. I’ll do something!
Kei: Really, G-chan! Can you reconcile dad and mom~~~!?
Q: Kekeke, we’re becoming your replacement parents—
G: We’ll have modification surgery immediately and you’ll work hard farming!
G: However, what exactly is that woman? It’s as if she’s tempting us…

56.
Ai: Mom, are you seriously leaving?
Yuu: Uh~~
Ai: So then, what will happen to us---!
Kei: I don’t want dad and mom to break up—
Yuu: Ai, Kei…please forgive your mother.
Ai: ?
Ai: An album……? It’s a picture of dad before he married…
Ai: Mo…mom is yo—ung! Who is that man!?
Kei: Du—mmy, that’s pops……
Ai: How did it feel when he proposed?
Kei: Mom, you have my tastes~~
Yuu: I was rea—lly, rea---lly rea----lly embarrassed……
Yuu: However, he said he couldn’t propose looking in my eyes.
Eiichi: Yu…Yuu-chan…will…you marry me-ribbit.
SFX: FART
Yuu: We proposed while farting together within a public toilet in the park.
Kei & Ai: That’s embarrassing—

57.
Yuu: Ehehe, I remember every time your father goes to the bathroom…that day.
Ai: Um—you were angry earlier……
Kei: So you’re happy remembering dad now—
Yuu: Ah, of—course……
Yuu: WHAA-H, I CAN’T FORGIVE HI—M!
Kei & Ai: Wha—she’s violent again—run—
Yuu: This wedding anniversary…This sweater--!!
Yuu: ……
G: Somehow it’s not finished, Gantetsu!
Gantetsu: Shi!

58.
Eiichi: Damn~~somehow I have to go back to the country, ba~~ro---!
Woman: We’ll go back soon~~~!!
Eiichi: That kiss mark was from someone who touched it on a train~~~(out loud) I’m the husband. She didn’t hear my story at all----!!
Woman: Of—course—you have to forget your woman—
Eiichi: I fi—rmly have to—
Woman: We—ll, let’s do it today. I ran off yesterday, but today I won’t.
Eiichi: O—K, I am the master of this house---! A man can say that he can’t womanize one or two---!!
Woman: Here here! I want to play “Combat Pro Baseball”
(TN: “Combat Pro Baseball”, or “Jissen Pro Yakyuu”, is actually a computer simulation baseball game from 1983, but since I don’t know if it’s a series or not, I can’t tell if there was an arcade version)
Eiichi: Hehe—I won’t lose—

59.
Kei: Wow—amazing—thanks—for—this.
Ai: Why—is this like this----!?
Yuu: This is really for your father. I was bad for not listening to his side. And today is our 15th wedding anniversary.
Ai: Nice—I thought it would be like this…

EVOLUTION OF GANTETSU
(GANTETSU EVOLVED!?)
He is the Old Dog Heisei Gantetsu, who has actually evolved while possessing a machine body that doesn’t have long to live!! Here, for the first time, we’ll go over this mystery!!

Era/Features
First Appearance: His face was old. He seemed like a dog at the time.
Chp. 13~: He doesn’t have his moustache. He’s gradually starting to stand.
Presently: Perfectly walks on two legs. Rarely when he becomes Gantetsuman, he becomes a person.
10 Years from Now: If he continues to evolve at this rate, he will certainly become Gantetsuman. Gantetsu’s evolution is immesurable……

60.
Kei, Ai & Q: ……
Sweater: Greatest Dad in Japan
Kei: I’m hungry—
Ai: S**t—that pops—and mom doesn’t know eith—er.
Q: In every era, a woman who waits for her man goes through pain~~~
Kei: Huh? While—we’re at it, I don’t see gramps?
Woman: Fufu…That dad was dumb.
Woman: If you use a bit of sex appeal, he’ll roll around and fall on his tail. He was so sickingly drunk that he didn’t know that I took off his coat.

61.
Woman: What, there’s nothing in he—re? ?
Woman: Huh, ama—zing! He had this ring—
G: Hold on…
Woman: !
G: Don’t touch that ring!
Woman: Well, what a nice man.
G: Why have you ensnared the Kaizous?
Woman: It’s dangerous to go near me.

62.
Ogin: Hohoho! I’m the whip-using Ogin the purse-snatcher! There isn’t anyone superior at hitting than me in Kabuki-chou!!
(TN: Kabuki-chou is a notable entertainment/red-light district in the Shinjuku section of Tokyo. The name comes from a plan in the 1940s to build a kabuki theater in this district after WWII, which never occurred)
Ogin: !?
G: What’s your purpose!?
Ogin: !
Ogin: Uh…well…it’s…eh.
Ogin: Cause of a gramps named Sharekoube…he asked me to do this for money and orange juice…Whatever it is, I was going to defeat G-chan by destroying his family first…

63.
G: So it was Sharekoube?
Ogin: Bu…but it’s already late…that father has been broken by me…And further, well…
Ogin: I’m fine if you beat me up.
G: ……
G: Th…that’s fine by me.
G: !
G: The Kaizous won’t fall softly into your trap!
Eiichi Wee~~Ogin-chan is cute~~~It’s great to have a squishy young girl after all~~
Eiichi: Ogin-cha~~n.
G: Oh no, he’s been completely broken down by that woman. If Mama-san sees him like this…

64.
Kei: Where are you going, mom?
Yuu: I’m going to search for dad for a bit……
Eiichi: Ogin-cha…
G: Hyo--!?
G: No! If mama sees Eiichi with his mind only on that woman, then the collapse of the family will be over in a volume!
G: If that’s how it is, this is my last resort!
G: MAMA-SAN! AFTER LONG YEARS OF RESEARCH, I’VE FINALLY COMPLETED MY SECRET MEDICINE; A GREAT ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME DISCOVERY! DRINK THIS YOUTH-RESTORING MEDICINE----!!!
(Medicine: POWERFUL YOUNGSTER G)
G: Drink this medicine and with your youth restored, Eiichi will come back to you!
Ai: A…mazing—a youth-restoring medicine~~~
Eiichi: G-chan, how could you unexpectedly create this amazing thing!?
Eiichi: N!?
Ai: Mom, go and drink it!
Kei: You were cute when you were young! You can’t lose to that wo—man!

65.
Yuu: ………
Eiichi: Hic…a youth-restoring medicine—that’s great—mom being squishy is fine too!
Kei & Ai: AH---!?
Eiichi: Wha~~~!?
G: What, Mama-san! How could you throw away my secret medicine that I created with my painful research~~~!?
Yuu: I’m sorry.
Yuu: But I want the love my 15 years of marriage…over turning him around with a youthful form.

66.
G: Listen, Eiichi!
Eiichi: Jerk
G: You now hold a bottle of alcohol.
G: That whiskey ferments over long years within a cask. And then after 15 years, it will end up as that tasty whiskey.
G: A woman is the same. As the years pass, she becomes a fine woman.
G: Eiichi: the mama you chose has become a fine wife in 15 years.

67.
Eiichi: I’M SORRY…MOTHER!
Yuu: Dear!
Eiichi: He…here! Huh?
G: Phew—just in time.
G: Tomorrow will have good weather, huh, grandma?
Q: It—will—grandpa—
Narrator: The next day, mother wore that ring and father for some reason proudly wore that horribly made sweater…
Sharekoube: Oyo? What is this, here?
Caption: TO BE CONTINUED…

TN: DUN DUN DUUUUUUUN!!! Yeah, you probably don't get why I just made those sound effects, but let's say...that "youth restoration formula" is going to end up screwing up a lot of people in the final three chapters of this series! (not saying how but let's say Sharekoube having his hands on it is not a good thing) Aside from that, for the most part we have another winner of a chapter this time around for a couple of characters who really needed a bit more development or story tied to them. In particular, this was moreso a bit of character development for Yuu than for Eiichi, since she really does nothing except being a normal, typical Japanese mother...and cry with whatever G-chan or anyone else pulls. Although she puts up with a lot, she really does care, enough that her rejection of G-chan's youth restoration formula proves that she rather be the woman she is now than someone that she used to be before, regardless of faults or problems that it brings up. As for Eiichi...well aside from confirming officially that Tokijirou and Kiyu are his parents (though some of how he speaks to them probably spoke that long ago), it's interesting to see his actual actions in this chapter, particularly when he gets drunk. Not every drunk man spends his time playing video games instead of doing lewd deeds. While it was a bit much to have Ogin appear at the Kaizous house for him, he was just going through a mid-life crisis which ended up resolved...with a badly knit sweater of all things. (though I did like G-chan's metaphor he gave to him about his relationship with his wife) So with that all out of the way...the final three-part finale of Jiichan G begins...next time!
