I was playing a mobile game once, it had English translations for everything, but the title itself was still in Japanese, with English text over the top...

Although you play as a trash incinerator robot, there is an old (human) man who calls you a young lady, and an old (human) lady that calls you a young man; at the end of what they say, they say "Fufufufu!"
... I always thought they were farting, the "fufufufu" being the sound of, you know... I was like "How gross!"

I’ve noticed that a lot of manga English translations are not translated as fufufufu anymore, but just a general hahaha. Sometimes they leave it out all together. It’s kind of disappointing because I remember reading manga back in the late ‘90s/early ‘00s and ALL manga villains used fufufu at least once lol.
