Somebody, Please Translate (だれか翻訳してくれ Dareka Honyaku Shitekure?) is the seventy-second chapter of the Dandadan manga series.
Summary[]
After witnessing the alien girl suddenly kissing Okarun, Momo jumps in to attack her while Kinta becomes upset that he didn't choose to open the zipper. Looking at the kaiju suit opened, Momo figures out that the alien girl is the true culprit and angrily questions her why she did what she did earlier but is unable to understand her alien language. She then becomes upset with Kinta trying to reason with her since she knows that he wants her to like him. Okarun tries asking Momo to calm down since they need to ask her about the gold ball but hears her refusing, believing that the only reason he is being nice to her is because she kissed him. Okarun tries to deny this but causes Momo to storm out even more angry after pointing out that the alien girl is pretty.
Though upset that he did not do so well reasoning with Momo, Okarun changes his focus on figuring out how to communicate with the alien girl, as recommended by Kinta, and travels with her, Jiji and Kinta to pay Mantisian a visit in hopes that another alien can help. Using Mantisian's translator, Okarun introduces himself and learns from the alien girl that her name is Bamora. Okarun then asks Bamora her reason for coming to Earth. With the translator only managing to make out bits of her words, Okarun learns from Bamora that she came to Earth to find a husband through a fight, and if she loses, she will decide to marry that person. Hearing this, Kinta steps in to take credit since he was the one piloting of the mecha, which Okarun gives his support on. Despite clearing this misunderstanding, Bamora still believes that Okarun is responsible and comes into hug him, causing the latter to become flustered and asks Mr. Manits Shrimp for a translator for them. Mantisian tells him that he unfortunately does not but assures him that he will tinker with the translator the next time they visit.
Meanwhile, at an unknown building, three Serpo receive a visit from an alien and tells them that they are not allowed to enter their territory. However, the alien visitor attacks two Serpo while grabbing the last by the face to state that whatever they possessed is also theirs.
