Jungle no Ouja Taa-chan 19

Though an ape-man raised by a nutty chimpanzee, Ta-chan has also learned lessons in life from another simian companion...

No. 19: Encounter with Gori-san

21.
Narrator: Ta-chan’s making acquaintance with Gori-san
(TN: Just a reminder, “Gori-san” is the gorilla character who we’ve seen for a while now alongside Ta-chan and the other main household members, such as Jane and Etekichi)
SFX: Zara zara
SFX: Pikka
Narrator: Was at a time when Ta-chan’s testicles were still shiny.

22.
Ta-chan: Ki—kikiki (Etekichi, is the strongest in Africa the lion?)
Caption: Still talking in the words of animals.
Etekichi: Ki~~~kikiki (Ye—p, you’ve noticed it in a good place. That’s why they call the lion the King of the Beasts)
(TN: Just want to clear this up because it’s a cool concept: “King of the Beasts” in Japanese is “Hyakujuu no Ou”, with “Hyakujuu” literally being “100 animals” but literally translating into “all animals/creatures”)
Narrator: At the time, Etekichi was a teacher who taught necessary knowledge to Ta-chan so he could mature splendidly.
Ta-chan: Ki—kikiki (Hey, I’ve come to be able to dangle with my penis.)
SFX: Baki baki

23.
Ta-chan: Kiki—ki (But I want to become strong like a lion.)
Ta-chan: Ki—kiki (Like a lion, I’ll be surrounded filled with females around me, and these females will do the work and I’ll eat the game taken by the females.)
Ta-chan: KIKI—KI (I’LL BE LIVING LIKE A PIMP!!)
Caption: Sharp Identification
Narrator: In truth, a male lion rarely hunts, but it’s terrible in protecting the females from other male lions and protecting its turf.

24.
SFX: Zun
Etekichi: Ki—kikikkiki (A strong mountain gorilla has entered into a lion’s turf! Driving out the gorilla is the job of the male!!)
SFX: Sa
SFX: Baki
SFX: Jiro
SFX: Sa sa sa

25.
Caption: Style of a female
Etekichi: Kikiki—(It’s hunters!!)
Etekichi: Kiki—kikiki—(Run, you’ll be killed. The strongest in Africa are them!!)
SFX: Sa
Ta-chan: Kikikiki (That gorilla is going to face the hunters!!)
Narrator: This gorilla is the mountain gorilla Gori-san, whose family was all killed by hunters a year ago.

26.
SFX: Go—
Ta-chan: Ki—kiki (A…amazing!!)
Ta-chan: Kiki—ki (The strongest in Africa is that gorilla)
Ta-chan: KIKI—KI (I WANT TO BECOME STRONG) KIKI—KI (I WILL BE YOUR PUPIL!!)

27.
Narrator: As such, Gori-san…
Narrator: Taught all of its techniques to Ta-chan
Narrator: And Ta-chan rapidly became strong.
Narrator: GORI-SAN BECAME TA-CHAN’S FIGHTING TEACHER.
SFX: Choi choi
Narrator: General education was, as usual, Etekichi-sensei.

TN: I think the chapter has something going with the whole "lion = pimp" concept, even if the bit regarding what happened when Gori-san showed up was a tad much. Usually I sort of just imagine a lot of these animals leaving well enough alone but that's how my imagination depicts it. Otherwise, this was a fin chapter considering that we've seen a lot of Gori-chan and it does make sense on him teaching Ta-chan in combat while Etekichi...well, he just teaches everything else, mostly the dirty stuff.
