i don't remember nao saying it, but i'm thinking you mean haruko waving and yelling "samaji!" which is short for samejima mamimi

No, it was About Haruko who took just her guitar to that battle field.

Code: Select all: 132 00:05:52,835 --> 00:05:55,099 What are you doing? Why don't you help me? 133 00:05:55,905 --> 00:05:57,372 But mine is... 134 00:05:57,473 --> 00:06:00,499 Why'd you bring that? This is saba-ge! 135 00:06:00,610 --> 00:06:02,737 Asage, hiruge, yoruge... 136 00:06:03,012 --> 00:06:05,139 Oh, we're in trouble-ge!

OKAY, NO NEED TO FEAR, I SPEAK JAPANESE!!!

Sabage literally means "survival game". But I'll translate everything to make it more clear, since you translated a bit wrong...*pops in 3rd FLCL dvd*

Japanese-

Naota:NANI YO TEN DAYO??? *blahblah* sabage!!!

Haruko: Asage, hiruge, yoruge...oh...hinto yobou-ge

________________

Translation-

Naota: WHAT ARE YOU DOING???*blahblah* this is a survival game!!!

Haruko: breakfast, lunch, dinner...oh...here's a hint, take cover...

(note, the 'hinto youbou-ge' is a tricky one to translate, since 'hinto' is meaning 'hint', and 'youbou' means 'precaution', or 'to take protection against'. So I'm going to go right ahead and assume my translation is correct in some way. But of course, I didn't add the '-ge' but meh.)

I was close.

Very well, "saba-ge" means survival game (or war game?). But what goes next?

Code: Select all: Kitsurubami: Blue! Blue! ... If you write "fish" and "blue" it looks like... Saba for mackerel! Haruko: Mackerel, my butt! Mamimi: Writing "fish" with "blue" is a common mistake. Subtitle: "Correct way to write mackerel"

I have a feeling that translators, while trying to keep some spirit of pun being used (if not the pun itself) made a certain mess of it. What exactly was said there and why?
