I'M TRIPPIN' BALLS, MAN. (Man-Frog)

How are you coming up with all this so quickly? Nevermind. It would ruin the magic.

Surprisingly, it looks exactly like the US manual. Only in Japanese.

Anyway...

アチアチスター - ??? Star (Now I see where the European translators got "Ouch Star", but "Achi" most certainly does not mean "Ouch" in Japanese... Dunno what it is)
火の星 - Star of Fire

にゃんじろう - Nyanjirou (one character different from the original Virtual Bomberman name)

So yeah. Pretty much accurate, at least the US translation (to my recollection). I don't know who was smoking what on the European one, what with leaving things untranslated and all.

I'm not sure why they give two names for the stars. Either the second one is for a straight-forward version of the name, or the first name is the actual name and the second one is literally "Star of [Element]", as a description of the star rather than a name. Don't know.

Never made the connection before now, but... "God Header"... "God Bomber"... Hmm....
