Artist's commentary
Sketch: Autumn 2017, E1 Hard (Note: Chinese/Taiwanese text)
Bunch of punks before battle, if y'all lose you're gonna do the Electric Flower Car dance.
(8+9 = phonetic approximation of 八家将. Used as slang here for "punk", "hooligan".
電子花車 = (Taiwanese) Electric Flower Car. Literal strippers pole-dancing and stripping to honor the dead and "lower gods" and wandering spirits during some Taiwanese funerals. Actual Taiwanese cultural practice. This TL ain't making this up. [Though, prudes as usual are trying to stamp out this practice])
Mandarin translation for those who can't read Taigi (Taiwanese Minnan): ref.
BB Hime 1: I'm just out to buy some Salty Fried Chicks* Why are you making a fuss about this? (*pun, see post #4585875)
BB Hime 1: What's going on?
BB Hime 2: The retard admiral is there again! (白癡 = "retard", with similar connotations.)
BB Hime 2: What are you looking at? Never seen an Abyssal ship before?

Sorry, I was laughing too much for the second page, so I couldn't finish drawing it lolololololol
(See second image for pixiv #65945121. The BB Himes lost, so they have to do the funeral stripping dance.)
