Okay, I've been trying to translate this Super Bomberman 2 game guide story manga tonight, and of course I'm having difficulty because I suck at translating Japanese dialouge. But there is some weird stuff going on... Plasma Bomber and Pretty Bomber seem to call Bomberman "older brother", and then Pretty Bomber seems to call Plasma Bomber "older brother", but then almost immediately we see Pretty Bomber flirting with Bomberman and releasing him from his cage, and then after Magnet Bomber "dies" Pretty Bomber seems to refer to him as "older brother". "Older brother", or 兄さん, keeps showing up in the text alot, and I'm almost positive that everyone is everyone else's older brother, yes even Pretty Bomber. [/sarcasm]

Also there's mention of brainwashing and "mind control", Bomber cyborgs and prototypes and whatnot. I've only gotten to the third page, then I skimmed through the rest of the pages a little.

You guys might find these interesting, though - descriptive dialouge boxes from the second page, third panel:

ゴ-レムボンバ-
怪力無双の大男

Golem Bomber - Giant of unrivaled physical strength

ブレインボンバ-
リモコン爆弾を
開発した
天才科学者
Brain Bomber - The genius scientist who developed the remote control bomb

プリテイ-ボンバ-
5人衆の紅一点
ハ-ト型爆弾
をつかう
Pretty Bomber - The lone woman of the Fiendish Bomber 5, she uses heart type bombs

プラズマボンバ-
5人衆のリ-ダ-
ボム投げの名手
Plasma Bomber - The leader of the Fiendish Bomber 5, master of bomb throwing

マグネツトボンバ-
マグネツト
ボムをつかう
Magnet Bomber - Uses magnet bombs

Poor Magnet Bomber doesn't get much of a description... Brain Bomber's description is interesting, though, as it clearly labels him as a scientist and also the inventor of remote bombs, apparantly.

I'll come back tomorrow or later and have a full transcription of the manga. Not necessarily a full translation, but a transcription.
