"The phrase's meaning is both defiant and
fatalistic, and it translates as "Who cares?",
"Why not?" or "What the hell?", along the
lines of "Who cares if we take our clothes
off?", "Who cares if we have sex?". "
Patriots and Redeemers in Japan: Motives in
the Meiji Restoration, George M. Wilson
p 98
"Translating ee ja nai ka poses a problem. The
most straightforward translation is simply
"Why not?""
He goes on to suggest several other
translations including "isn't it good?" and
"what the hell!" |

I suggest doing it as 1 sense with a lit. Not sure the ええ here is really "great" or just "fine/OK (to do this crazy
thing)" |
