So the Japanese title mean "decisive battle in Shangrila (here with a pun, the kanji for origin replaced by phantasm): snatch back the bride".

As for the English: Nihao my concubine, nihao means hello in Chinese,
in all likeliness it's a pun on Farewell my Concubine.

Thanks :> it's funny when I was a kid I had to get my dad to tell me what a concubine was, and still never got nahuho thought maybe that was a characters name, like ranma my concubne heh.

I watched big trouble years ago like 25 it feels like on casette at my local video store :> and watched up to around season 4-5 but recently been wanting to watch the rest.

Thanks though it's a tough one with having too many anime I want to watch and easily distracted, also trying to watch .hack//roots in time for .hack//g.u. remake
