04:25 - Kumadori uses the expression "ni ou dachi" (仁王立ち) which has the colloquial meaning of approximately "standing up tall." However, due to Kumadori's kabuki (and therefore very Buddhist) nature, as well as his next sentence, the origin of the phrase was probably intentional. The "ni ou" (仁王), literally "two kings," are fierce guardians/protectors of the Buddha. Large statues of them often look downards menacingly from either side of an entrance or gate.

11:53 - As the note states, "awa" (泡) means "bubble."

13:09 - Califa uses "Hitsuji Gumo" (羊雲), or "sheep cloud." It's somewhat of a pun because this is actually a kind of cloud - the floccus cloud. Unsurprisingly, "floccus" means "tuft of wool."
