痛車
Significado: Cringe car — a vehicle decorated with large anime character decals and wraps, seen as cringeworthy by non-fans but celebrated in otaku culture.
A 痛車 is a car covered in vinyl wraps or decals featuring anime, manga, or video game characters. The term is a pun: 痛い (painful/cringeworthy) + 車 (car), but also sounds like イタリア車 (Italian car), adding an ironic twist of 'luxury.' While mainstream society views them as cringeworthy, the 痛車 community takes great pride in the quality and artistry of their wraps. There are dedicated 痛車 events and competitions, and high-quality wraps can cost hundreds of thousands of yen.

- 痛車にする勇気はすごいと思うけど、俺には無理。 把车改成痛车的勇气确实厉害,但我做不到。Admiro el valor de hacer un itasha, pero yo no podría.痛車로 꾸밀 용기는 대단하다고 생각하지만, 나는 무리야.
