You know what, gonna put this chapter on the TL backburner for later.
God bless you for doing so much work digging into an incredibly expansive and confusing franchise, with a fandom rabid for detail accuracy and specificity, just to provide us translations for funny pictures.
It is greatly appreciated, and I totally understand wanting a break before a probably super dense part (as if what we had so far wasn't dense enough).

Thanks. And you're welcome.
I'm sort of skipping ahead for now, mostly because they're meatier parts with greater plot significance later on. Them being easier to translate (and less tolling on the mind) is also a factor. If you want to skip ahead, you can (to 60. Cap. LX), though I do understand wanting to read everything in order.
As for this chapter, well... let's just say it involves G-Spring Goddess latching onto the Jurick and then using it to... justify the existence of a giant Zaku. Conspiracy-theorist style. With wide leaps of logic in between. The kind that makes you (and G. Boy) go "bwuh". So while I understand the individual words and sentences the Goddess is sprouting, trying to follow her logic and come up with a TL starts giving me migraine.
Part of it, I suppose, is that I tend to get into the mindset of the characters while writing dialogue. Most of the time this isn't an issue, but G-Spring on some of her 'flightier' episodes can probably be charitably described as "batshit insane". So, getting into the mind of one such character is also... shall we say, "headache-inducing". And maybe sanity-draining at times. Most of the time it isn't that bad, but this arc takes the cake.
(Sometimes you will also see me screaming on some of the earlier comments about why G-Spring acts or says such and such. Those are the cracks showing. Same goes with some of the earlier parts with some of G-Forest sections that go really in-depth into SD Gundam lore.)
Though, this does make translating the reactionary dialogue from G-Forest/Chuchumy (and sometimes G. Boy) all the more satisfying, because them screaming and venting at G-Spring? That's exactly what I want to do doing those moments too.
Hey, Boy!
Hey, listen!
Hey, listen!
It's titled "The Existence of a Giant Zaku in the Shadows of the One Year War"!
Giant Zaku!?
It all started when I stumbled across an MS that became a crucial lynch-pin of my thesis. Said MS, as you know, is none other than—
The "Jurick"!
I've just finished up my paper that I am going to publish at the academic conference! Have a look!
