Notes

↑ A popular phrase used by Saodake-sellers (竿竹屋), who drive trucks to sell bamboo poles for drying clothes. In Japan, ordinary people wonder how sellers earn money even though the commodities are not witnessed sold by anyone — in fact, a book was written about it in 2005 and it was the bestseller that year. Some people say this is a camouflage method of thieves to check homes and infiltrate easily into there. Anyway, the public image of them is enigmatic, and fishy.
↑ Probably a wordplay between Tripiṭaka (三蔵, sanzou) and afterimage (残像, zanzou).
1. "That was an afterimage." is a net slang said to be derived from either JoJo's Bizarre Adventure or Yu Yu Hakusho.
2. 三蔵法師 appears in Journey to the West. In the Japanese version, Sha Wujing (Sagojou), one of the three servants of him, is a kappa, while in the original Chinese version he is not one.
↑ Probably a parody of "copy robot", one of the secret tools of Doraemon.
↑ Parodying a common journalist troupe that's used to describe something a criminal used to pry something open or beat someone unconscious when the real object is unknown.
