thanks for all the notes at the end

 

[umuhhh]

3 things.

1. thanks for the translating this.
2. momotaro's drip is on point. looks cool as heck as aside from shaving the top of his head.
3. it's interesting to see yamaguchi's art style change over time. reading this manga, you can see how the art style for gekiko kamen came to be.

The mochi is possibly a reference to Kibi dango, which is made out of a type of mochi called gyūhi, the treat that Momotaro used to befriend his animal companions. Maybe in this context he threatens to chop up Motohide and then feed the pieces to his servants.
The inclusion of Momotaro is also probably a reference to a Yamaguchi's earlier work, Cyber Momotaro.
