English translation Chichichi chichinpui Chichichi chichinpui Papa-papaya-papa Chichinpui no pui! Was Star Saber a glutton, too? Did he ever sneak food? Did he wet the bed and get scolded?

Chichichi chichinpui Chichichi chichinpui Papa-papaya-papa Chichinpui no pui! Does Star Saber cry as well? Does he feel sad just as expected? Does he do horizontal bar gymnastics well?

Banzai, banzai, Transformers Baddies, baddies, buzz off, buzz off The baddies all go chichichi chichi chichinpui!

Notes

• Kakuryū sings this song to himself when performing menial tasks at a few points during the series.

• Whilst he freely admits to having been a kid just like you, Star Saber refutes the claims that he is a bed-wetting compulsive eater by shaking his head. He may not be the most trustworthy source, however, for if it were true, it might not be the kind of information he'd want leaking out, so to speak.

• "Chichinpui" is a magic word for when you want something to disappear, such as a mother might say to her child when kissing better a scraped knee.

• Despite what certain anthropomorphic amphibians might have you believe, "banzai" (万歳) is less of a war cry and more a cheer of celebration. It literally translates to "10,000 years" (as in "May the Emperor reign for..."). Now you know...
