Translator here, hi guys

It's weird how Japanese got a lot of niche nicknames for foreign artists, probably because they have a big culture on rock/metal and wanna localize it (like how Chinese usually do with video game)

I translated Yngwie Malmsteen name to Ynggy aka my itteration of his Japanese nickname before in like chapter 1 or 2 but haven't talk about it, this chapter is a good time to if you noticed the bubble.

It took me a lot of freaking research to realize "Mantis of Terror" was just the Japanese name for "Time Tell No Lies" lol. It should only take you like 5 seconds when you know you have to cross-reference two different wikipedias but like when I was translating it, man it hurts like hell for 30 minutes

Also, I'm 90% certain the artist is female judging by this chapter alone cus just how good they are at drawing masculine men, I should've noticed earlier ngl smh
Metal has a strange relationship with masculinity, anyways. You can revere a bunch of muscular dudes for their rugged manliness, and also revere some make-up-wearing glam boys. I maintain that under the veneer of strength and evil, most metal dudes are a buncha nerds.

There are a lot of extended visual references to Manowar in this comic. The muscular dudes are right on target with that.
