The trending words are 「ノーパン」"nopan" (no underwear), 「露出」"roshutsu" (exhibitionist), and 「スパイダーマン子ちゃん」"supaidaman-ko-chan" (spiderman-girl-chan). The last one is a pun because ko is a common ending for girl names in Japan; for example female Ranma is called Ranko. But but having "ko" follow "man" creates "manko," which is slang for female genitals. So "bush" isn't really what it's going for. They're calling her spider-vag-chan
Aww, that's kinda disappointing...

I think the translator was trying to make a different pun that would work in English. Bush spiders are a thing.
Thanks for explaining this so I don't have to. :cool:

To be honest I thought of adding a tl/note or something for this, but I didn't want break the readers flow since the punchline was in following speech bubble.

Honestly, this is one case that I understand the court's position on no-tolerance. You can't set a precedence of negotiating with terrorists that hold hostages because it'll lead to all villains taking hostages with the expectation it'll work. Not only will it become more common, it may become standard for villains to investigate nearby magical girls and take their relatives hostage, leading to more magical girls quitting overall. The whole house of cards could come falling down. Obviously, this is all neglecting the fact that the tribunal itself will probably cause the same thing to happen.
