Note that Tom seems to be riding a rat at the beginning of the Japanese segment. I suspect this is Rat Rock/Umpire Rock.

I don't see a rat anywhere in episode two. Can you please post a screenshot that shows the rat?

For serious, me neither. He's riding maybe a sperm or horseshoe crab...maybe. But always happy to have an excuse to listen to the "In Japanese" song again. Has a tendency to get lodged in one's noggin.

I don't see Tom riding anything at all. Are you referring to the yellow glow/aura that surrounds him as he burst out of the lower decks of the vessel? I assumed that was just a reference to the glow that a Super Saiyan achieves when reaching full power in the popular manga series Dragon Ball (and its many variants and offshoots).

Dang, we're all talking about the same thing... and all equally clueless about where this rat is. Ahem, are people attempting to see a rat to jive with Rat Rock? It's a big, yellow, pointy, glowing sperm to me. The manga idea seems about right: just an aesthetic choice employed in mimicry of a popular art form.

octopus

I was just going back through some old posts and there were a few references to the pirates' "octopus with six legs" logo. I'd just like to point out that squids have six legs, so... it's a squid -- with a skull for a head.

When Black Tom says "Ichi. Ni. Son. Chi. Doooooo!" does any one know what something that sounds like Doo means in japanese?

I believe 'do' is just used as a counter. he's countering the sun's blow. It's like saying "Hi-Yah!"

At least that's what I'm going with...

Not really following this but clicked by accident so decided to look around some and saw this post. I did search and didnt see anyone mention this so if trout please forgive.

I checked out the video and I think it's someone saying 5 in japanese, but not doing so very well. "go" is 5. Hope this helps some how.

Here's a fun vid to learn to count in japanese.

Re: octopus

Nevermind about the squid thing. A quick google search shows that squids have 10 arms, not 6. Don't know why I posted something like that without looking it up first. Sorry!

*snort* Love it! No harm done. Besides, how many squid or octopus make it to old age with all their junk intact? (How many humans for that matter...)

Doing a quick search I only found that insects have 6 legs. I did find a riddle though, I still don't know the answer to Smile

What has six legs but never moves, gets older but never changes, and can reach the clouds but cannot fly?
