Noragami Chapter 66

Noragami chapter 66 is now available in English. As a bonus, I’ve also included the Volume 16 gag comics at the end as well. As always, feel free to redistribute or use as the base for non-English scanlations. Chapter 67 comes out on June 6th. Translation notes below the cut.

Also, you know how there’s that fan fetish of Sekki bandage bondage? Um… yeah, this chapter has been listening to you.

Once, there was a hafuri who stung his master. This… is not his story.

Ebisu’s thought bubble says “Oheso nainai”, which is a children’s peek-a-boo game where one hides their bellybutton, like “Where’s my bellybutton? There it is!” I… have no idea why he says this. I searched around everywhere for some kind of secret meaning, and the only thing I could find was this song about frogs. Best I can guess is that it’s a reference to his hand position in that image?

Sorry Team No Arm, that’s a mental image of Yato striking down Past!Kiun, not a replay of what he just did. Note the lack of scar.

The stinger text is formed from the words that literally make up Takemikazuchi’s name: “Takeki Mi-ikazuchi no Kami”. The word “August” here doesn’t mean the month, but like “glorious” or “beautiful” and is typically how transliterations of Japanese god names translate the term “御“ (mi/go/on/o) when it appears in their name.

Yato’s box says “Sumaho Saburee” (スマホサブレー), or “Smart Phone Sablé". Sablé is a type of French shortbread cookie. In Japan, there is a popular cookie of this type called “Hato Sablé” (”Pigeon Shortbread”) that is a cookie in the shape of a pigeon. What’s also a pigeon? Yato’s smart phone, Coo Phone! Thankfully the way “Sumaho” has been translated led to easily modifying the joke on the box to “Coo-kies”.

Takemikazuchi’s speech jumps between multiple memes involving celebrity Matsuoka Shuzo. Originally a tennis player, Shuzo was then the mascot for C.C. Lemon where he gave pep talks in song. Takemikazuchi then quotes him directly from his “Never Give Up” speech. Afterwards, Shuzo went on to be the mascot for Febreze in Japan, the comment below the comic specifically referencing an ad where he becomes the sun and blows the clouds away.

The Emishi god is depicted as speaking with an excessive Hokkaido twang to the point that his dialogue needed a translation even in Japanese.
