Spotted Pigeon
Mission One’s Commentary:
Kanji puns are definitely hard to translate. Basically, madarabato is another way to read the kanji of ikaruga, and they both mean spotted pigeon.
By the way, rye-den is the proper pronunciation, just like gaiden is guy-den, and not gay-den.
RKasa adds:
Mission One’s phonetic romanization of “raiden” is kind of odd. If they could, would they translate “gaiden” as “guy-den”, as implied?
Anyway, regarding the topic of this comic: the 2001 arcade hit Ikaruga is one of the most beloved shmups of all time. X-Locks’ port of this title was released worldwide in April 2008.
Original comic: P.S.すりーさん No.80
