    no idea what the joke here is, but just wanted to say that the colloquial word for a nuclear bomb in japanese is ピカドン (pikadon), with quite an interesting etymology:

    ピカ (pika) is the sound of something sparkling or glittering

    ドン (don) is the sound of an explosion, just like “bang” in english

    so in conclusion, the japanese call nukes “sparkle-BANG”
