I have 'translated' that panel in which horse-this & horse-that was used in reference to Tenma's relatives, or professions. Cannot remember anything other than that; though.

Also, in a certain volume of MA Club, it is written that When Tezuka Heard Mr. 'Pompous' he thought it was'Pampas'. Even uses the kanji for pampas. :lol:

Thanks for your input, guys!

"More input" what was that robot's name?

"I That's cool! I knew there were a bunch of horse puns related to Tenma but I couldn't remember the details. There's a panel in Fortress of the Centaurs (Dark Horse #14 p186) where Astro discovers Nuu comes from the Pegasus constellation, and mentions that Tenma is a "horse heaven". I feel like there was some other manga story where Tenma's name gets mentioned, I think he actually shows up as some secret leader of a gang or tribe? I'm fine with Tenma as a name, but if we're losing horse puns in the translation maybe they should have gone with Pegasus."


I once thought of writing a fan fiction story where Cobalt was working on a model railroad. The idea of him calling the train "Tetsu-Uma" crossed my mind (or would Uma-Tetsu be more correct?). You know, 'Iron Horse'.
