Vagabond Ch. 208 Translated
Damn Kojiro for not talking or thinking. He makes translating chapters go easier and seem like they don't take as long. Feel free to use these translations in your scanlations, just give me some credit for translating, perhaps a link to Bakafish at bakakage.net in the credits page if you have one, and let me know when you use them.
Other than that, enjoy.

What do you mean by "dependable stick" btw?
About the effects, I think you should translate only those that are different, that actually mean something (I remember a "gleam" SFX in a previous chapter that mattered). I believe up to this point everyone knows Kojiro says only Ahh and Auhh. Ocasionally he says his adoptive father's name and I believe that's it.
He's addicted, just like we are. :whoo Crack-manga :tem
I guess I should have said trusty. It's a sort of phrase, you've got your trusty stick with you, and the like. I had that word in my head, and then it just went away for some reason. Changing that.
