The way this voice line and the translation don't match up always bothered me, because the original is:

タマと言い争いをしてしまった…。 だが聞いてくれ、イカ焼きといえば 姿焼きが普通だろう…？

"I had an argument with Tama... But hear me out, when it comes to grilled squid, isn't it normal to grill the whole thing...?"

This CM from Pakatube gives more context:

So Tama's definition of ikayaki involves cooking squid with batter, while Oguri thinks ikayaki is just squid grilled as is. And then Tama argues that what Oguri is thinking of isn't ikayaki, but sugatayaki.

uuuh both ikayaki and sugatayaki means 'grilled squid'... I guess it'll be hard to translate their differences. But they were able to keep yakisoba as is instead of translating it to 'fried noodles', so I wish they could've just kept ikayaki and sugatayaki too! 🦑

Also, turns out Tama's version of ikayaki is more local to Osaka, while Oguri's is the version that's more well known.
