All of the puzzles in this chapter rely on things like word play and anagrams, so it's going to be impossible to translate. I'm too lazy to put in the effort to localize everything to English, so I'm just going to do it literally with notes.

Also, unrelated to that, the IM girls=confirmed for silly. They're silly willies, because when you have the first 3 numbers of a combination of 4 digits, you're basically done. It's not a digital lock that will block you from attempting random combinations after you've failed 3 times, like ATM machines do. You have the first 3 digits, so you just give that last digit 10 tries from 0 to 9 and bingo, treasures and wealth. They didn't need the Harambe month.
bcdb275d No.981
>>980
You know what? Reading it again I realise you're right.
Apparently Ana thinks like I do. But not really because I'm more about breaking locks instead of figuring out the mystery.
Or just trying every combination from 0000 to 9999. I've open locks with that trick. Takes a long time though.
Why is Chi so pissed about having performed the shoryuken? It was cute. Nothing happened though.
What was she expecting to happen?
a341519e No.982
>>981I deleted my comment in >>980 because I thought maybe I misunderstood you…
The joke is that the last digit being represented by the gorilla was just a gratuitous jab at Nobue (since her picture had no clues at all, just a drawing of her face).
I don't know if Chika was expecting anything in particular to happen, Nobue just pressured her into doing something embarrassing, because "consequences" if she didn't.

>>977Given previous references to video game tropes in this series, it is reasonable to assume that the average reader of this title would be familiar with such classical titles as Street Fighter. With the broadcast of EVO 2016 on ESPN2 earlier this year featuring Street Fighter V, that likelihood is increased.
>>972I misinterpreted the arrows in the penultimate panel as fighting game motions and was reminded of Fatal Fury.

>>983>Fatal FuryMan, what garbage game. Cool characters totally wasted on a game with inferior mechanics. Inferior I tells ya,
INFEEERIOOOOR!Now that I think about it, the lovely Ichigo Mashimaro ladies have been amusing us with their charming and joyful shenanigans for so long that the first reference to games was Mario Kart for the Super Famicom.
They've had the PS2, more than one version of the Nintendo DS, a Nintendo 3DS, and they don't seem to age. They're stuck in some sort of anomaly.
2191ee37 No.991
>>984Even at the time, the multiple planes did seem gratuitous to me, though today I understand contemporary competitors to Street Fighter often experimented with mechanics. However, at no point did I approve of the complex motions for special moves that SNK often imposed, seemingly for their own sake. It was such that for the international Neo-Geo releases of Fatal Fury, several special move motions were simplified. In particular, moves that used ↓↙←↖ were changed to ↙↗, which looks similar to the arrows in the panel.

Of all the mean things Miu and Nobue have done (specially to Chika), I think this is the meanest.
You don't humiliate people by reading their diaries in public. Not for a joke anyway. You don't make private things public unless you have a fucking good reason or you're plotting revenge, and Ichigo Mashimaro is not Les Liaisons Dangereuses.
I guess Chi-chan has a big heart because she can forgive them. Love the part where she breaks the ropes.
At least now we know what Chi-chan is truly determined she can't be tied up, so she's basically unrapeable.

I've seen this theme in Chinese cartoons more than once. In Maria†Holic the blonde trap reads the dreams the protagonist wrote in middle school and not even she knew what the hell her younger self was talking about.
In Hidamari Sketch Miyako began quoting a secret letter Yuno wrote to herself. "Dear Future Yuno, how are you?" and then a red-faced Yuno hit Miyako to make her stop. 'Cause cringe.
In Fireball Charming a tiny robot quoted a cringy poem written by Drossel so she killed it, and immediately denied having done so.
