I have 'translated' that panel in which horse-this & horse-that was used in reference to Tenma's relatives, or professions. Cannot remember anything other than that; though.

Also, in a certain volume of MA Club, it is written that When Tezuka Heard Mr. 'Pompous' he thought it was'Pampas'. Even uses the kanji for pampas.

Thanks for your input, guys!

"More input" what was that robot's name?

Johnny 5. Wow that brought back old memories.

"I That's cool! I knew there were a bunch of horse puns related to Tenma but I couldn't remember the details. There's a panel in Fortress of the Centaurs (Dark Horse #14 p186) where Astro discovers Nuu comes from the Pegasus constellation, and mentions that Tenma is a "horse heaven". I feel like there was some other manga story where Tenma's name gets mentioned, I think he actually shows up as some secret leader of a gang or tribe? I'm fine with Tenma as a name, but if we're losing horse puns in the translation maybe they should have gone with Pegasus."

I once thought of writing a fan fiction story where Cobalt was working on a model railroad. The idea of him calling the train "Tetsu-Uma" crossed my mind (or would Uma-Tetsu be more correct?). You know, 'Iron Horse'.
