    Because it's Mother's Day, I want to promote the mothers of Kessoku Band, who occupy the top ranks of the Bocchi the Rock! madwomen tier, to the world!

    @hq25 May I ask where does that "even if you're on your deathbed" come from in the original text?

    Hey! The original phrase is 兎にも角にも, which just means "anyway" or "regardless."
    The “even if you're on your deathbed” part was just my fun exaggeration to match the passionate tone — not a literal translation, more like a localization for effect.

    I understand that sometimes it's better to sacrifice accuracy for the sake of making it sound natural in English. But please don't go overboard with it and try not to introduce elements that are not present in the original text. This is not to mention that the phrase "even if you're on your deathbed" is a bit inappropriate considering Nijika's mom died years ago in the story.
