Translation:

“Girls' Secret Party”

Everyone: CHEERS!!

Atsuko: Hah, after all, an ice-cold beer is the best.

Botan: I prepared some sweets and snacks, so please eat until you're full.

Shizuru: Botan-chan, you're so thoughtful.

Botan: I heard we were staying the night, so I was right to go shopping!

Keiko: Atsuko-san, I am sorry for asking you to lend your apartment. I wish we could have stayed in my house...

Atsuko: No problem, never mind! Anyway, he's not coming back!

Keiko: What? ... Yusuke, he hasn't come home again?

Atsuko: Eh, oh, no! It's not that.

Atsuko: On the contrary, I'm the one who should be thanking you, Keiko-chan. Thanks for inviting me.

Shizuru: Come on, we are drinking today!

[Meanwhile, on the streets…]

Yusuke: Ah ... Damnnnn!!! That old hag...

Yusuke: She can't just kick me out and say, "Get out, we're having a girls' only party". Good grief, that annoying arsehole.

Yusuke: …Are you gonna talk about unpleasant things? Jeez…

*BUMP*

Yusuke: Ah, my bad.

Delinquent: Hey, you! Where the hell are you looking while walking!?

Delinquent: Hey … You! That's Urameshi!

Yusuke: Ah? Who the hell are you…?

Delinquent: Don't tell me you forgot! Take this!

*The delinquent tries to hit Yusuke*

Yusuke: Wait … I'm asking who you are!

Yusuke: Shit! Oh well, I can't help it!

[After a fight…]

Yusuke: Phew, that guy was such a pain.

Yusuke: I'm pretty sure I walloped this guy long time ago ... But, I don't even remember his name.

Yusuke: Damn, I've been having a bad day! I should go to the arcade to relax…

Kuwabara: Hey, Urameshiiii! What the hell are you doing here!

Yusuke: Oh, it's you. I'm in a bad mood right now.

Kuwabara: What is it, are you mad for being kicked out of your house?

Yusuke: Idiot, what the hell are you talking about!? Or perhaps, you knew the gals were gathering?

Kuwabara: In the morning, my sister was making a fuss over the girls' night out.

Kuwabara: I wonder what the heck they're talking about.

Yusuke: Dunno.

Kuwabara: Hey, Urameshi, where are you going?

Yusuke: The arcade! Today, I'm going all out and blow off some steam.

Kuwabara: That's great! Alright, I'm also comi…

Delinquent: Hey, you did really well earlier.

Yusuke: Ah?

*people gathering*

Kuwabara: What!? That's a lot of people…

Yusuke: Is it you again? What a persistent dude.

Yusuke: Even if you bring your buddies along, it's useless.

Delinquent: I ain't letting you through here, until you beat me!

Kuwabara: Urameshi, this is getting interesting!

Yusuke: Yeah, it's been a while since I've gone on a rampage!

[Meanwhile, at the girls' gathering...]

Shizuru: This is delicious. Did Botan-chan buy them?

Botan: Yes! I thought this would be awesome with sake!

Keiko: Shizuru-san, that squid ... Didn't you have some at the hotel?

Shizuru: Ahh! At the time of the Dark Tournament! Keiko-chan, you have a good memory.

T/N: They are talking about the Hotel Kubikukuri, the luxurious hotel at the Hanging Neck Island where the Dark Tournament was held.

Botan: *Sighs* ... Come to think of it, the Dark Tournament has ended…

T/N: After Sakyo exploded the stadium, there were no more editions of the Dark Tournament.

Atsuko: Hey, what is that Dark Tournament? What was it like?

T/N: Atsuko attends the Tournament in the manga, but not in the anime.

Botan:

Oh, yeah! Hot battles were unfolding!

*Flashback of the Dark Tournament*

Botan: Hiei's Black Dragon Wave was absolutely amazing. It was a crushing victory, a crushing victory!

Shizuru: And yet, Kazu lost from the very beginning … Damn! If you're a man, you should have won all the fights!

Botan: Shizuru-san said to him, "If you lose next time, I'll lynch you!"!

*End of Flashback*

Atsuko: Heh, looks like it was very exciting.

Botan: Well, Yusuke was really cool too. He played a big, big, big part!

Botan: Right, Keiko-chan?

Keiko: Um, yeah...

Atsuko: Reaaaally? What was so cool about him?

Atsuko: If it's true, I wish I could've seen how cool he looked.

Keiko: .......

Shizuru: ...Keiko-chan?

Botan: Oh? What's the matter? You've suddenly got a sad look on your face.

Atsuko: No way, Keiko-chan. Could it be, that our idiot was really so much uncool?

Botan: No, no, that can't be true! Oh, but maybe that's how it looked like to Keiko-chan...

Keiko: No, it's not! … That's not it.

Shizuru: Keiko-chan, is there anything bothering you? You can talk to us if you like.

Atsuko: That's right! It's a girls-only gathering!

Keiko: ...Really?

Keiko: Well then, let me try to explain you a little bit about it…

[Back to Yusuke and Kuwabara]

*THUMP*

Yusuke: That's all of 'em?

Kuwabara: What a bunch of hot-blooded bastards. Good grief, go home and take a nap at once.

Kuwabara/Yusuke: Ah-choo!

T/N: Onomatopoeia sound of sneezing.

Kuwabara: Ugh, my nose itches … We got a cold or something?

Yusuke: I don't remember catching anything.

Kuwabara: Me too, and the sneeze came all of a sudden. Don't tell me someone's been gossiping about us!

Kuwabara: Well, it was one sneeze, so maybe they're saying bad things…

T/N: The Japanese believe that sneezing once means someone is gossiping something nice about you. Twice means something not as nice. Kuwabara got it all wrong lol. But, the girls are really gossiping about them!

Yusuke: Gossip? There's no one who would gossip about me like that.

Kuwabara: There's a lot who would! Not to mention you've already died once.

Kuwabara: There're lots of folks out there who will gossip about you, y'know. Even more if it's a bad gossip!

Yusuke: Really!? Kuwabara, you're bullshitting me, right!?

Kuwabara: I'm not! You Foolsuke!

T/N: Kuwabara calls Yusuke as "Takosuke". Tako means octopus, but in slang is an insult, similar to dumb, stupid, fool, idiot etc.

*TUG*

Yusuke: What?

Kuwabara: Ack!

Delinquent: I WON'T FORGIVE YOU...

Yusuke: You again! Gimme a break!

Yusuke/Kuwabara: !!

Kuwabara: Yo, youkai...!

Yusuke: Son of a bitch, you're so insistent!

Yusuke: Come on, I'm gonna send you flying!

[After fighting...]

Yusuke: *Puff, puff* … It took a little while.

Kuwabara: *Puff* … I guess we've already beaten the whole gang…

Kuwabara: Aw, my clothes are torn.

Yusuke: Mine too...

Yusuke: But, I can't believe they pop up in town like this. What a bunch of brash assholes.

Kuwabara: Hey, you sure this is all of 'em?

Yusuke: Well, I really don't think I failed to finish 'em off, but…

Yusuke: I'm worried if there's any other damage. Hey, I'm also checking my place.

Yusuke: If they went over there, it'd be an uproar.

Kuwabara: Oh, I'm coming too! Oh, hey!

Kuwabara: Don't leave me behind, Urameshiii!

[At the Urameshi's Residence, Keiko talks about her worries...]

Keiko: Really, the Yusuke at the Dark Tournament looked so radiant.

Keiko: A while ago, I would have never imagined he could look so good…

Keiko: But when I see Yusuke like that, somewhere in my heart, I feel uneasy.

Keiko: When I remembered Yusuke fighting, I ended up getting so worried that I was about to say, "STOP", and interrupt our conversation.

Keiko: I hate myself, I'm sorry to remember about it while we were talking.

Keiko: Oh my, how useless I am.

Botan: You're not useless! What are you talking about!

Botan: Didn't you say at the hotel that you would watch over Yusuke? Isn't it admirable just to be able to make that decision?

Shizuru: Keiko-chan is really brave. But, I think you don't have to think about it too much.

Shizuru: You are worried, we're all the same.

Botan: Uh-huh.

Atsuko: Keiko-chan thinks of him like this. He's a lucky guy!

Atsuko: Good grief, I wonder if he knows that!

Atsuko: *Gasp*, it's alright, Keiko-chan! Don't worry about that guy!

Shizuru: Hehe, they're tough guys. Kazu too, even if I worry about him, he's off somewhere in a minute.

Keiko: Shizuru-san…

Botan: Oh dear, it's the springtime of life ... Just listening to it, makes my heart beat faster.

Atsuko: Cheers to the brave Keiko-chan!

Botan: CHEERS! Kyahahaha!

Shizuru: Aah, you both (Atsuko and Botan) are really becoming joyful ... I am sorry, we're in the middle of a serious talk, and yet…

Keiko: Um, I'm fine. Somehow, I feel a little better.

Shizuru: Really? Then let's enjoy today to the fullest.

Keiko: Yeah!

[Yusuke and Kuwabara arrive at Yusuke's place]

Yusuke: *Puff puff*, we've arrived ... Is everyone okay?

Botan: Yuu, Yusuke!?

Keiko: You two, your clothes are tattered! What happened?

Yusuke: I mean ... youkai popped up on our way. We ended up struggling a bit.

Kuwabara: We took 'em all down, but we thought of coming down here to check on you just in case.

Atsuko: Oh, I thought you were getting into a fight with someone again.

Yusuke: Well, that too, but...

Botan: You were!?

Keiko: ...Don't fight, Yusuke!

Yusuke: But ... it was the youkai who picked up a fight all of sudden.

Keiko: Who wouldn't be worried if you suddenly came back home dressed like that…!

Yusuke: ......

Shizuru: Keiko-chan...

Yusuke: Sorry, Keiko.

Yusuke: ... I'm sorry. I promise you I will not worry you anymore.

Yusuke: But this time, seriously, I wasn't picking a fight. I just want you to know that.

Keiko: Yusuke...

Atsuko: Oh! You two are passionately in love!

Botan: You're a handsome man! Kyaaaaaa!

T/N: (lol) is Botan drunk already?

Kuwabara: I, I'm getting embarrassed to be next to you listening to this … What the heck was that "I promise you"?

Kuwabara: Don't say things like in dorama!

T/N: Japanese dramas (dorama) are characterized by melodramatic characters and plots.

Yusuke: You, you bastards!! That's enough!

Botan: We were just kidding~

Kuwabara: Ouch! You don't have to hit me!

Atsuko: Hey, that's how you treat your mother?

Shizuru: Yusuke-kun, you're strong. Isn't Keiko-chan a little relieved too?

Keiko: Jeez … I wonder if it's true what he said?

Keiko: Haha, Yusuke is always like that…

-The End-

The girls remembered about Hiei, Yusuke and Kuwabara at the Dark Tournament, but no one mentioned Kurama T_T. He was really cool too. Botan even praised Hiei. If you take a closer look at the beverage cans, Keiko is the only one who is not drinking alcohol. I wonder how old Botan is?

Linda Flynn-Fletcher

I think Linda Flynn-Fletcher is potentially one of the most misunderstood characters in the show.

It think comes from a natural enough place. Her role in the show is of course, to act as the potential threat to their summers of fun. While they boys never see her as a threat, narratively she's the big bad. If she sees it, its game over.

Here's the thing though. She's a not a bad mom. Her children LOVE her. Similarly to how Phineas and Ferb absolutely adore Candace and would do nearly anything she asked, Phineas, Ferb and Candace all love and respect their mother and don't disobey her. Now a bit of this is clearly Linda being a more permissive parent, but any rules that Linda has Phineas and Ferb never do anything to disobey their mother. While I wouldn't be surprised if there were one or two instances where Candace disobeyed her mother willfully, the closest I can think off off hand is Candace not doing a bunch of chores that she was supposed to do. Really, the fact that all her kids love her, shows how much all her kids feel loved in their household. And I think that's super important. Candace wrote a song about how much she feels loved by her mom, even if her mom is dismissive of Candace. But she still goes with Candace to see what the boys are up to even if she doesn't believe it. She sets boundaries on how often Candace can bust the boys sure. But she hasn't forbidden Candace from doing it altogether. Nor does she punish Candace for presumably lying?

At MOST Linda will say something like: "let's get you out of the sun" after a failed bust. The worst of it I think is probably the time Linda made her promise not to try or suffer the Pharaohs curse. Which, was just some guy in a Pharaoh costume telling Candace curse you. Linda goes out of her way to read books to try and deal with her daughter. She and Candace still clearly hold a lot of affection for each other and do spend a decent amount of mother daughter time together. Linda gives books to her daughter, tries to direct her to other activities, and finds her sleep busting cute, and sometimes goes out of her way to do activities her daughter wants to do with her. All things considered Linda is REALLY patient about Candace's busting. Could she be doing more to get to the bottom of why Candace is presumably acting out? Sure. But Doofensmirtz could also be doing a better job of listening to his daughter and not insulting her (or do we not remember why Vanessa wears earbuds around the house) but we all call him a really good dad.

A LOT of shows have kids hiding a secret from a parent for one reason of another. But while the crux of the show rests on Linda not knowing what her sons are doing, its not because its a secret. The boys aren't hiding it from her. The boys genuinely believe she knows. Lawrence genuinely believes she knows. Candace is the only one in the family who really grasps the situation.

Linda's ignorance, her disbelief of the wild shenanigans that her children get into is easily mistakable for normality. For representing the oppressive day to day. The same thematic antagonist as school. A mom who wants whats best for her kids, and thinks that whats best for them is them being normal, without realizing what's really best for them. After all why else we saw what would happen if she found out in Quantum Boogaloo. But the fact of the matter is aside from that one future (which also featured an effectively evil leader in Doofensmirtz, and therefore implies more factors at play than just Doofensmirtz and Linda's characters), we don't really know how it would play out in the long term. Future Linda even just kinda moves on after discovering the truth.

Linda is exactly like her kids. She just does the same things on a less physics breaking scale. The woman has like 37 different hobbies. She takes a cooking class, donated an art sculpture, is part of a jazz group. She has a background in astrophysics. She was a pop star. She won a meatloaf contest. She takes french lessons. The fact that Linda has several hobbies is part of the reason the formula works at all. Linda is constantly trying new things which gets her out of the house, while her sons are trying their own new things. Her absence is what prompts Candace to have to go looking for her. Also, What Do It Do when the moment Linda gets put in Candace's position she acts the exact same way.

Also it's why she and Lawrence are so compatible. They have a lot of weird hobbies they spend together. She likes Lawrence's history references. They watch car racing together. They went spelunking together. They go bowling regularly enough to have equipment. She has played the bagpipes while Lawrence danced (which sidenote: do you think she taught Candace how to play the bagpipes?).

Not to mention her extended family. Think about it. Her mom was a competitive roller derby skater who once bit a skate and shook it like a dog with a chew toy and pulls elaborate pranks with her identical twin. Really she's a lot like Candace with her aggressive passion. Her dad apparently won a balloon race, but tells the story in the most straightforward way possible, sometimes very oblivious, but is overall a lot like Phineas. Her sister is an adrenaline junky. And back to Quantum Boogaloo for a minute: Her granddaughter is just like Candace, Grown up Candace is a lot like Linda. Do you not see the implications!!?!?!? LIKE???? DO YOU NOT REALIZE THAT LINDA WAS PROBABLY A LOT LIKE CANDACE AND PHINEAS WHEN SHE WAS YOUNGER?!!?! YOU THINK IT SKIPPED A GENERATION OR SOMETHING???

Do you think Linda used to complain about Tiana??? Do you think Linda thought her family was weird and was embarrassed by them??? Do you think Linda ever called herself the only mature/normal member of her family?? LIKE CANDACE DOES????

Anyway, Linda is just like her family. Sure, she is RELATIVELY more normal, but that's relative, and probably simply because the universe bends itself around to keep her from knowing. Linda literally cannot find out about the real nature of her universe. Linda is just a grown up version of her children, seeking to make the most of each day, but within the bounds the universe has set upon her, both as an adult woman and mother, but also in the laws of physics expected of her. But she still makes the most of her life. You don't have to build a roller coaster to make the most of each day and all that.

I think if Linda is representing anything its that even parents can have rich fulfilling lives. Where they make the most out of each day. Having fun with your life doesn't stop with adulthood. Even if you have more responsibilities doesn't mean you can't have fun? Sure childhood is something you can't get back but growing up isn't inherently bad either?
