To put in the notes/Grimoire:

Battler「後でツメの垢をもらってきてやるから一緒に飲もうぜ。」 "Ok, I'll steal some of his hair later, and we'll make a voodoo doll to steal his awesomeness!"

"Tsume no aka wo nomu", "to drink the dirt under someone's nails", is a japanese expression stemming from the belief that if you make a potion with someone's nail scrapings, you'll steal their talents by magic. I used "voodoo doll" to transpose this, but if anyone has objections with a replacement suggestion, I'm open.
