OT: Japanese Translation

[Tenryu]

I speak and read some Japanese, 2 years a university level, 25 years ago, damn I'm getting old, and lived and worked in Japan for about 4 years. I still am hopeless at it. So much for my lame credentials. Anyway:

I think the best current translation of that would be "vanished" past tense. Or, perhaps, more lightly, "Poofed" as in suddenly disappeared, like magic.
