tsuritama q&a!!!
credit to yoshi-x2 for translation!!
- JFX stands for “Japan. Fujisawa. Mysterious Object”.
- Tapioca’s boyfriend is called Savaran.
- The boys sometimes have fishing trips.
- Whether Yamada is actually Akira’s real name is confidential.
- Ayumi wears a lot of pink because Misaki once complimented him.
- In ep6, Yuki didn’t do any cooking aside from boiling the noodles.
- Natsuki’s “I’ll only say this once” catchphrase was something he picked up from Tamotsu.
- Haru’s grip is apparently strong enough to break a handgrip dynamometer. The incident was never brought up in the class ever again.
- Natsuki makes sweets (e.g. donuts) for Sakura. He’s really into making them fish shaped.
- Yuki keeps forgetting the names of flowers Kate tells hm but it’s not like he dislikes them.
- Erika is an only child.
- Natsuki and Erika get along well. They also give little gifts to each other during family gatherings, etc.
- Haru’s birthday being on April Fool’s is a reference to the the custom in Italy, France and Belgium where they tack paper fishes on each other’s back as a trick and shout “April Fish!”.
- Coco’s skirt can actually store items. That aspect ended up unused in the anime.
- Ayumi calls Misaki with “-san” despite being older because he was once drunk and called her name without any honorifics and she told off badly for it.
- Yuki has other shirts with fish names besides “Hamachi” (young Japanese amberjack), such as “Sea bass”
- Natsuki keeps up with his running even in America, so he does not gain any weight.
- “Q: What scenes brought the animators to tears? A: Most likely whenever they had to animate the fishing reel.”
- If Sakura ever gets a boyfriend, Natsuki would immediately return from America.
- Natsuki likes listening to grunge rock and is the type that prefers Pearl Jam over Nirvana.
- Ayumi likes the colour blue.
- None of the main four are popular in school. Akira believes he’s the most popular amongst the four of them but their popularity is about the same.
- Nomura (one of the mob characters) is the most popular guy in the class.
- The girl sitting in front of Erika and the guy sitting to Erika’s right (藤田 - Fujita? Nakatani? IDK what’s the correct reading) are dating. There’s a hilarious moment where Yuichi Takahashi, the one who mentioned this info, made a mistake and accidentally implied that 藤田 was dating the guy sitting in front of him instead.
- This was brought up before in the last Q&A, but Natsuki is the most popular amongst the female staff.
- Natsuki once let Yuki listen to grunge music but Yuki returned it saying that his ears hurt.
- Akira takes his turban off when he’s pissed.
- Akira doesn’t approve of Tapioca and Savaran’s relationship but does not interfere with them.
- Heihachi has been cracking puns his whole life.
- Haru and Coco never fight because whenever Coco gets angry, Haru still smiles.
- Urara’s profile: Height: 181cm, Weight: 58kg, Blood-type: B, Birthday: 27th February Favourite food: wheat based sweets & red broth miso soup.
- Re: The legend of the goddess, there were originally three roles: Lure, guardian & angler but the locals were so good there was no need for the angler who just watched over them.
- Haru and Urara’s names were taken from Haru Urara. Not sure if it’s the Japanese racehorse or the song by Kagrra. Probably the song since the kanji is the same?
