Farewell, My Dear Cramer
| The Warabi Seinan High School girls' soccer team is called the "Warabis" in the official subtitles and the licensed manga, but I really thought they were named "The Wallabies": you know, after that tiny marsupial. Am I missing something? |

| @Kokujin-kun In Japanese warabi means bracken, so like fern. Guess it would fit with their green uniforms. Not sure what the symbolism associated with the plant is, but since it's a forest plant, maybe roughness or resilience? idk girls are often associated with plants in Japan, so maybe ferns match a certain idea of football, since it's played on grass. Would have to see the name of the highschool in kanji to make sure. |

| Warabi is a city name in Saitama Prefecture, just a few kilometers north of Tokyo. Their school is located in this city. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warabi,_Saitama Here is the actual location of their school > https://goo.gl/maps/TVWZxg4FCaY9aSaN9 Fun fact: Warabi has the smallest area of any municipality in Japan. |
