𝑽𝑨𝑳𝑬𝑵𝑻𝑰𝑵𝑬'𝑺 𝑫𝑨𝒀 𝑰𝑵… 𝑨𝑫𝑨𝑪𝑯𝑰

the girls have been wandering around tokyo since very early in the morning, rikka has not even been able to take a break, walking in the work suit is chaos, while tonae is almost dying because she has not slept well, since rinko has been bothering her since the night because she was so excited about valentine's day

What exactly are we looking for everywhere, and why did Rinko buy a bag of chocolates when She hasn't even opened them?

still don't get it? this is mostly rinko's persecution, she's been talking to nerds and getting rejected for obvious reasons, people don't like their personal space invaded.

ARE U KIDDING ME ??, I'M WASTING MY VALUABLE WORK TIME FOR THIS???!!!! has rinko turned into a dog looking for something to eat?

OOOH GOTCHA!!!!!

:*.°★* 。I'll give you a chocolate in exchange for a kiss*★,°*:.☆

tonae…. tell me that person has not accepted chocolate from rinko.

Him? I doubt very much that he will accept her deal, just look at him…. is he like an old man? or something? from here i can't see well. anyways i think she will be rejected again.

I can't stand my legs anymore, and having to put up with rinko is like having to put up with a baby, she has so much energy…. i don't know how you can stand this tonae... uugh I need to be in tokyo in one more hour, I can't waste my time anymore tell rinko that we are leaving.

don't worry rikka, I think it will be the same as the others… although for some strange reason rinko is very attached to that guy, what's going on?

after this annoying episode for the adachi girls (except rinko), they feel it won't be a special day, back to work and back to everyday life

Jack’s Thoughts on Suginami Division

Ryuko Umemoto

“Pfft, this is the man that Mr. Tetsumasu is worrying his head over? He never fails to amuse me… And no, I have no real connection or concern over him personally. I believe its his mother that is a different story. Ryuko Umemoto should be fine… Unless if his gangster mentality gets him into trouble he should not be involved in.”

Maki Umemoto

“It’s hard to imagine that he was the entire reason Kaho had abandoned her duty… Oh, excuse me. He is, like his brother? Unimportant. His duty to teach people about history is admirable at least. Goodness knows all the things that have happened in the past few decades… It’s men like him that help us remember, so that hopefully we won’t repeat our past mistakes. You could say I’m trying to do the same as well.”

Shuu Edogawa

“The detective… I only got close to Mr. Edogawa since Iseri spoke so highly of his new apprentice. Which I admit, I was quick to trust him too when he found my young master so easily and at the exact moment he was in danger. So when I hired him to follow up on some murmurs on my-how do I say…? The ‘target’ I was assigned to recover. I trusted him to help me find him while I juggled with my new task with the Kamiyama family. Problem is, it got recruited into the D.R.B. unexpectedly. That, and the detective is much too friendly. The imbecile got too close to the target and now they’re becoming fast friends. Because of that, I had to end our contract early for his own safety. I refuse to let anymore people get hurt because of hi… I-I mean it. Get hurt because of it.”

Sazanka Zombeez

“It’s an interesting mix to see the children of someone I’ve only heard about teaming with a detective I have done business with. I may have to worry about Mr. Edogawa, in case he knows too much about me and my work. Hopefully he isn’t so cowardly, as to bring in my secrets into a rap battle… Although I’m sure he might be desperate to help his team win over my own responsibilities and feelings.”

[roppongi-division]

Kai's Thoughts on Suginami Division

Ryuko Umemoto

"I've only had one encounter with this guy in the past, and that was one encounter too many. It was about a year after we had just opened Gypsy's Palace. This guy was part of a Yakuza gang, and they came here to Roppongi to file a "complaint" with our club. Apparently, because it was so popular, it was reaching people as far as the city of Suginami, which they didn't like, apparently. So, to "compensate" them, they either wanted us to close down for a few days, or have some of their men work as security. ...Really? Threatening me and mine in our own establishment? And here I thought things like this only happened in America!"

"I told them that we would do neither of those options, which they didn't like. But before things could get to hairy, my wife phoned the police. The leader of the group mentioned this wasn't over, and he and his boys ran off. Over the next few weeks, they apparently came around here to Roppongi to start some mess. And more often than not, I saw this guy in the group. They thought they were being smart intimidating us, but they failed to realize just how popular Gypsy's Palace is. A lot of folks around here weren't happy to see their favorite nightclub in so much trouble, so when they came around here the following week, they weren't expecting a bunch of us to actually fight back. After seeing us all in front of our club ready to throw down, I guess they figured this was more trouble than it was worth and left."

"I hadn't seen this guy for years after that, but wouldn't you know it? I happened to meet him one day when an agency asked me to make some songs for an animated TV series. Apparently, he had put his life as a thug behind him and was now working as an animator. If I had a sense of humor, I'd have certainly laughed at that. I told him while I still wasn't happy for the mess he and his "friends" gave my wife's club a few years ago, I said I was willing to bury the hatchet with him so long as he didn't do something like that again and kept that temper of his under control. He didn't like being told what to do, but eventually agreed."

"So for that reminder of time, we worked in the studio together, though in different parts of it. Despite his horrid disposition, he had his moments of politeness. He even came to me once after a recording session and stated the music for one of the battle scenes was quite good, which I thanked him for. The guy can be quite civil when he wants to be. If he does something with his attitude, he'd be an even better person."

Maki Umemoto

"If it weren't for the fact that he and his younger brother share the same last name, I'd have never thought that they were related. ...Though I guess them sharing the same facial features should have been a hint. After all, Japanese with pale white hair isn't exactly a common sight. I know there's him, his brother, Samatoki, that young Criss girl from Akihabara, and... unless I'm mistaken, I believe that that's all of the well-known ones."

"As for the man, himself, I know little about him. He serves as one of Zakari's teachers, but other than that, I know little else. He seems to be a stark contrast to his brother, though. Not really surprising since siblings rarely have anything in common save the same parent(s). If you don't believe me, look no further than me and my sister."

Shuu Edogawa

"Investigator Shuu?" *Sighs* "Yes, I know of him personally, as does my wife. How exactly? Our security caught him skulking and sneaking around the club on more than one occasion once. Apparently, he was on a case where a mother had hired him to find and bring home her wayward daughter after she had ran away from home to live with her boyfriend. When we asked what they had to do with him snooping around, apparently it was cause the girl and her boyfriend spent much of their time here. I didn't really care about the details, to be honest. I just wanted the guy out of my club so I could get back to work. Eventually, my wife settled it and that was that. I've not seen him inside the club since."

Sazanka Zombeez

"...Not to be rude, but words fail me with this team. A former Yakuza-turned-animator, a history professor who serves as one of my son's teachers, and a private investigator. A very mix-matched rap team, wouldn't you agree? ...Still, I suppose there are worse teams out there. I don't know how much of a threat they'll be, but... well, we'll wait and see, I guess."

Akihisa's Thoughts on Suginami Division

Ryuko Umemoto

“Ahh him. Over the years I've gathered connections to various yakuza families around Japan. More often than not they wanted me to fulfill a contract for them.  I meet Ryuko during one such meeting with his boss. He had quite the temper on him even back then. Even threatening to fight me.” Akihisa chuckles. “Very few people have the courage to even look at me let alone threaten me like he did. I’ll give him a shred of respect for that. Nowadays I hear he left the gang life and is an animator now. Touya even tells me that he works on one of his favorite shows and wants to meet him.” Akihisa snorts. “Ryuko best be prepared then. Touya is quite a lot for people to get used to.” 

Maki Umemoto

“I've spoken with Umemoto on several occasions mainly for Touya’s schooling. Occasionally our conversions have us going down a philosophical route. Debating the nature of humanity. Whether or not people are born evil or are they formed. Things of that nature. Umemoto is a fascinating person to converse with and It's always refreshing to speak with someone who doesn't at least visually fear me.” 

Shuu Edogawa

“I've never met Edogawa personally, but I do know of him. He has the unfortunate habit of sticking his nose where it doesn't belong. To the point where I've had several people whose ire he's gained, approach me to make him “disappear”. Personally, I find the prospect of hunting and killing simple nuisances like him to be boring. There's nothing thrilling about it. So I declined the contracts. He should keep an eye out though there are others out there more than willing to end his pathetic life.” 

Sazanka Zombeez

“Sazanka, a flower with the meaning of “Pershing with grace”, a poetic meaning. Perhaps a bit too poetic for this team. Only the professor interests me as a conversion partner and even then I have no issue with letting them all perish in the D.R.B although I truly doubt their fall will be graceful. They seem like they’ll do the complete opposite.”

Mina's Thoughts on Suginami Division

Ryuko Umemoto

"I've never met this individual before, but apparently he works as an animator, making animated shows or something. I wouldn't really know anything about that since I rarely watch television. I'd rather be curled up on a chair or a couch with a book. I think Yorii may have worked with him at some point. Unsurprisingly, Yorii managed to piss him off, with his immature behavior. *Sighs* When will he grow up already..."

Maki Umemoto

"Professor... Umemoto? He's participating in this tournament, as well? I must say, that's quite a surprise, but at the same time, I'm not really all that surprised. Umemoto-sensei is a good teacher, but... he tends to get a bit nervous when he's speaking in front of a large number of people. His behavior reminds me of another teacher of mine. I wonder if this is a trait with most Japanese teachers..."

"But anyway, Umemoto-sensei, as stated, is a good teacher. When he's truly passionate about something, he tends to ignore his fears and speak with a fervor you don't see in most teachers. ...I've noticed on occasion that he tends to act like this when it comes to people in power or the government. I only hope his words don't get him in trouble. I've not been on Earth long, but from what I've observed, most people don't appreciate when you badmouth them..."

Shuu Edogawa

"I met this young man recently, though our meeting was kind of brief. I was skulking throughout Suginami when I spotted this strangely dressed man running from a group of thugs. They had cornered him in an alleyway and from the looks of them, they were planning on doing something... awful to him. So, I decided to head down and help him. Truthfully, I was just hungry. I think all the excitement must have got to him cause after I was done "eating", I looked back and saw that he had fainted. I could have fed from him too, but I was already full, so I left him there. I'm glad he's okay, but he should bring some protection if his work involves thugs and such."

山茶花 Zombeez

"I have to wonder why exactly a team would name themselves after a brainless undead. I'm not sure if the 'Sazanka' part adds or diminishes to the effectiveness of the name. Regardless, I have to wonder why this team is entering, much like the Toyama team. I wonder if both of them are related somehow. It's something to keep an ear and an eye out for, at any rate."

Toyama VS Suginami Relationships

Toyama Side

Asato

Ryuko - Asato's feelings about Ryuko started out with not caring about him to then being unreasonably angry at him when Ryuko lost control of his temper. Over time, Asato is going to mellow out again, going back to not caring about Ryuko, even if Ryuko still wants to beat the shit out of Asato. Truly, Asato sees Ryuko as a waste of time...

Maki - Asato might not understand him, but Asato recognizes that listening to him nerd out over what he finds to be useless history makes him happy so... He tolerates it. It's better than putting up with Kuko or Gentaro's antics in his opinion, but it's still not that great.

Shuu - The feeling that Shuu has toward Asato is mutual: Little to no interest in each other at all.

Yano

Ryuko - As stated in Ryuko's side, it does really start with Yano being too scared to face off against the former gangster. But with time, Yano will gain the guts to actually argue against him, even if he's still crying throughout it. It frustrates Yano that Asato doesn't bother standing up for himself whenever Ryuko insults and threatens him, so he finds himself standing up for Asato, against the farmer's requests not to acknowledge the hothead leader.

Maki - Again, like it was said on the Suginami side, Yano and Maki start off indifferent with each other until they get into a ring together. Yano points out how irritating and arrogant the teacher is for someone who refuses to fight physically and is fearful of various situations. It also doesn't help that Maki is always poking at Yano, making him feel dumb and insignificant just to fuel Yano's anger and crying.

Shuu - Shuu is someone Yano finds to be uncomfortable to be around. Being told that a relationship was fake by some baby-faced detective has hurt Yano a little, but the fact that he keeps following him around in the most random of places? Shuu's looks and behavior remind him of a specific someone and it really bothers the artist.

Kensaku

Ryuko - While sure, Ken can understand that Ryuko has an incredibly short temper, that doesn't mean he does take a weird sense of joy out of annoying the hell out of the gangster. Sure, Ryuko claims that Kensaku's jokes are awful, but there are times that Kensaku can get a snort out of the young leader, and the immediate flair of anger that follows it just tickles the hell out of the scientist. Otherwise, Kensaku doesn't particularly like or dislike the gangster. At best, Ken sees him as a rival who is really, really fun to tease.

Maki - Poor Maki is a little airheaded about Kensaku's jokes and the same can be said with Kensaku who is an equal airhead when it comes to history. While Maki is resigned to not understanding Kensaku, Kensaku may find himself wanting to learn and understand more history-based jokes and puns to really get along with Maki. But, that might happen anytime soon...

Shuu - If they can sit together and talk with each other, yes, they find a mutual appreciation of dad jokes even if Shuu groans a bit at the cheesier jokes. Kensaku is happy to have someone who can tolerate his bad puns for an extended time. And Shuu's goals to make people happy are appreciated by the scientist, although Shuu's methods of doing so make him a little worried for the detective.

Masa's Thoughts on Suginami Division

Ryuko Umemoto

"Truthfully, I only know of this man because of his... acquaintanceship with Oki. It's not really surprising to see that the two of them know each other and get along so well considering their personalities are so similar. However, outside of his skill at fighting and his talent at animation, he doesn't really serve a purpose for my or the Church's agenda."

"...But then again, maybe he can assist me in another way. My Crossroads are always on the lookout for able members to join, and with his penchant for fighting, his short temper, and his friendship with Oki, maybe I can persuade him to join. He'd be serving a higher purpose than himself, after all. I shall have to speak to Oki to see if he can introduce the two of us What's more, he seems to be in good accord with the children from both Edogawa and Kyoto, which will make getting my hands on them much, much easier.

Maki Umemoto

"Ah, Ryuko's older brother, and a man of great intellect. I've actually had the pleasure of speaking and introducing myself to Maki-sensei. His debates and speeches when it comes to those in power are quite thought-provoking. I've often had to quote Romans 13:1 to him on many occasions, which states that 'One must obey the authorities in power, less one incurs the wrath of God.' However, he surprised me on one occasion by asking me, 'Should we obey a law that puts the people we love in danger, or that forces us to forsake our morals and ethics?' It reminded me much of Acts 5:29."

"A man such as Maki is a hard man to come across in these days and times. I should see if I can get him to join our church. A man like him would be one of great importance, not only in these days but also in the new world that we are going to create. I should ask him the next we meet."

Shuu Edogawa

"Shuu and I have a somewhat... conflicted working relationship. Though I am the leader, I try not to get involved in the private affairs concerning members of The Crossroads. I care for each member and try to do everything I can to see their wretched souls saved, but some of them are still struggling internally. So, it should come as no surprise that some of them still have problems with controlling their more... invasive needs, mainly those of the flesh." Masa sighs, rubbing his forehead.

"So when I received word that one of my members was being tailed by someone after he had made a mistake regarding his betrothed, I knew I had to deal with it quickly less it provided some unwanted attention. I had Juu follow my member to see who it was. Fortunately, she managed to uncover the man's identity, and that was how I discovered the man known as Shuu Edogawa."

"I invited the man for a talk and asked if he would consider dropping his investigation. I could tell he was skeptical, but I offered him some information on someone who had committed far worse than what my member had done. To "sweeten" the deal, I paid him twice what his client was offering. I can tell he didn't want to, but he reluctantly accepted and agreed to drop the case. I thanked him and we left on rather... amicable terms. Later, I made sure to punish the foolish member for his sins and for almost besmirching the Church's reputation. He repented and apologized to me, his fellow Crossroad members, and his wife."

"I haven't seen much of the young investigator here in Ginza, after that. If I do, we pass each other with a hello. Truthfully, I'm debating on whether I should enlist him or not. Our church could always use someone of his skills to find out more about our enemies. ...Yes, now that I think of it. That could be a good idea. And with his ties to the police, that could also be a good benefit. I shall have to get to work right away."

山茶花 Zombeez

"Quite a mismatched pair of individuals, I must say. Still, even the most unlikely of teams can be the most dangerous if utilized correctly. I can see much potential in all three of these men. Ryuko could assist The Crossroads with jobs I need taken care of. Maki could be a good speaker to help further the Church's cause. And Shuu, with his connections and gift for infiltration, could be a good spy for us. Yes, these three will be of great asset to me and the Church. And since Oki knows all three of them, that makes getting to know them much easier. We shall have to see what the future has in store for us."

[ota-division]

Chinami's Thoughts on Suginami Division

Ryuko Umemoto

Much like before, Chinami places her hands around her crystal ball as it begins shining with bright, cosmic energy. She begins her reviews of the Suginami Division rap battle team, speaking aloud the name of their hot-blooded leader.

"Umemoto Ryuko."

The crystal ball turns white before showing an image of a young boy of eight or nine, punching a large heavy bag used for sports. Sweat pours down his forehead and into his eyes, partially blinding him, but he ignores it, continuing his task of getting stronger. The memory of his older sibling, his brother, on the ground after being beaten up by bullies spurs him. He growls, imagining one of the bullies' faces, and punches the bag hard, just as the image disappears.

The scene changes showing the boy as a teenager. His features have changed; most notably his hair, which is now a platinum-white. He is carrying a baseball bat and is surrounded by a group of similar-looking men. They walk through a marketplace, scowling at anyone in their immediate vicinity; everyone gives them a wide berth, not wanting any trouble. They stop at one shopkeeper's stall. He shakily hands out an envelope, which is snatched from him by the teenager. The group then walks off as if nothing has happened.

The scene changes showing the teenager is much older and is seen working in a production studio. He has an angry expression on his face but appears much calmer than before. ...Or so he liked to think. Although he has done well to hide it, his rage is still inside him, boiling, bubbling, just waiting for the right moment, the right time, the right reason for it to explode on anyone or anything unfortunate enough to open it. Will the day come when the white-haired man can control his fury? Or will history repeat itself, and he becomes a victim of it once more?

Maki Umemoto

"Umemoto Maki."

The scene in the crystal ball shows a young white-haired boy of four in a hospital with his a man who doesn't resemble him, yet is holding onto him closely, signifying a close family relationship. The two are sitting outside a hospital room until a nurse appears and allows them both to come in. A woman is shown covered up in blankets and comforters and is holding onto a newborn baby, which the young four-year-old looks at in wonder and amazement. The older man tells the boy that he is now a 'big brother', which makes the four-year-old smile for some reason.

The scene changes showing the boy is much older, a teenager. He is sitting in a dark room, hugging his arms as he rocks back and forth. Memories of torment inflicted upon him by the hands of his oppressors weigh heavily on him. It's even worse as he recalls that his younger brother was forced to step in to defend him. His sibling... getting hurt on his behalf. The thought is too much to bear and the young teen's breathing gets faster and heavier as he hyperventilates. He suddenly screams out loud and faints from shock.

The scene changes once more, showing the young man is a little bit older now. He is standing in front of a young man who resembles him in appearance, but the two are drastically different in attitude and personality. The older man screams violently at the younger one, blaming him for everything that is going wrong in not only his but their family's lives. The younger one refuses to retort and pushes his older brother out of the way as he leaves the house. The older one watches him leave. He balls his fists up as hot, angry tears pour from his eyes.

The scene changes once more showing the young man in his current form. He is standing in front of a classroom blackboard as a group of young kids listen to him as he speaks. A bell rings and he bids the students farewell as they depart. He is happy with this life... but he can't help but wonder and worry for his brother. Though he is on the straight and narrow, who knows how long that will last? And if he should venture off and return back to his old ways, who knows if the seasoned teacher will be able to bring his last remaining family back from the brinks of despair...

Shuu Edogawa

"Edogawa Shuu."

The scene shows a young boy of 12 sitting in a chair, tied up in ropes. He is struggling to get loose, but the ropes are, surprisingly, tight. Surrounding him are three girls who are obviously quite familiar with him. Each one is carrying a piece of make-up. The boy continues to struggle to get free, but it is in vain. Within a minute, make-up and other feminine products are being placed on his face as he screams and begs for mercy. The girls refuse to listen. A minute later, his face is completely covered in lipstick, eyeshadow, etc., making him look like a clown. He sighs as the girls laugh at him.

The scene changes to show the young boy is much older, somewhere in his teens. He has a serious look on his face as he is in a crowded street. He is following a woman wearing a lavish dress as she disappears into a raggedy motel. He follows her discreetly and sees her disappear into a room with another man. The teen feels his heart stop as he realizes that the woman, his mother, has betrayed not only him, but her entire family.

The scene changes again showing the teenager in his current form. He is on an empty street at night, going through pictures on his camera. He looks at one in particular of a target he was following and nods as it contains all the evidence he needs to prove to the target's significant other that they are committing adultery. He sighs as he tells himself he is doing this for the greater cause. So no one else has to go through what he and his family went through when his mother cheated on his father. ...But is that really true, or is it something he tells himself to make him feel better?

Several images play out on the crystal ball, containing important events in each member of the Suginami Division rap battle team's lives. The Umemoto brothers' reconciliation, Ryuko saving Shuu from a group of gangsters, and Shuu inheriting his father's friend's agency. These three men, though different, are banded together in bonds of friendship. But will that be enough to hold out when an even greater foe attacks them? Will their friendship prevail, or will they truly become the 'walking dead'? Only time will tell...

Keiko's Thoughts on Suginami Division

Ryuko Umemoto

"Argh, is it bad to say that I, unfortunately, know this man? He was the one in charge of making the animations for my manga, Red of the Ambitious, when we decided to make it into an anime. I was already apprehensive about meeting him after seeing his appearance and finding out he was a former Yakuza. But I decided to give him the benefit of a doubt, regardless." Keiko sighs and hits her head.

"Worst mistake of my life. The guy had an awful attitude, and got upset at the smallest thing! He made working together unbearable! If it weren't for the fact that I had already signed a contract with his studio, I would have left the first chance I got! I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that he and Samatoki know each other. Both of them have anger management issues!"

Maki Umemoto

"Professor Umemoto is in the D.R.B.?! ...Wow. First Rosho-sensei, then Ryu-sensei, Takumi-sensei, and Ohara-sensei. Now Umemoto-sensei? Why are all of my teachers suddenly joining the D.R.B.? Is Otome-sama desperate to have more professors rapping? It sure is strange... even stranger knowing that he's the older brother of a former Yakuza!"

"But besides that, I really enjoy Umemoto-sensei's class! He's always eager to answer questions, and doesn't get irritated either. I like having him as a teacher. ...Although, I really wish he would lay off a bit with the speeches about the government. As an official, it makes me a bit... worried and nervous to hear one of my professors talking so violently against Chuohku..."

Shuu Edogawa

"I personally have never met this man, but Criss says she often sees him in different parts of Japan. Apparently, he works as a private investigator, which isn't really surprising considering his style of dress. He should think about dressing more casually. He stands out too much with his trench coat and hat."

山茶花 Zombeez

"I'd say I'm a bit surprised to see another of my teachers in the D.R.B., but after three of them formed a team together, I'd be lying. I am surprised though that he's teaming up with a former Yakuza and a private investigator, though. I have to wonder why Otome-sama allowed them to join. I only hope that Umemoto-sensei won't get himself hurt, especially with how much he rants about the government."

Daiki’s Thoughts on Suginami Division

Ryuko Umemoto

“Yakuza! Or wait… Is he on the path of redemption? So there is hope out there for the wicked! That’s really good then! I mean, I’ve seen him being really angry at Hisoka’s savior, the farmer man. But at least I know that he’s doing his best to do better! I mean who knows, maybe he has unfinished business with the farmer… What sort of thing happened between them? It’s hard to imagine Hisoka's savior being the evil one when this guy is… That. I’m sure there’s some good explanation…”

Maki Umemoto

“Another teacher? He looks like a stuck up nerd. Don’t tell me there’s gonna be more than just Mr. Tsu… Tsuzu… Whatever that Osaka teacher’s name is! Don’t tell me there’s gonna be more teachers like him! I don’t wanna go against them! They aren’t good or evil, they’re just annoying people who should go back to having fun in school!”

Shuu Edogawa

“Master Shuu! He saved my life when I fumbled my hero debut! I mean, I know my family hired him to find me after I ran away from home, but I don’t blame him for it at all. He was just doing his job and because of how good he is at finding people, I lived to retry my debut as Paladin! And! And! He trains me sometimes whenever he’s in the Hokkaido region! Sometimes he can’t come to Obihiro city though, so sometimes I skip out on work to see him wherever he’s at! I’ve gotten good at finding him too, but don’t tell him it’s mostly his sister’s help. I haven’t met her, but they are always happy to help me find him as long as I tell her what sort of stuff Master Shuu is tangled in. She is kinda weird though… Sometimes she’s super nice and other times she’s really loud. I wonder why?”

Sazanka Zombeez

“A formidable team to go up against! If we had a choice, I’d like to go up against them first! I mean, it’s easier to say mean things to a guy who is trying to redeem himself after being so… Possibly maybe evil. I mean, if he can take some hits and still be nice about it, then it means he’s on the right track to becoming a beacon of hope. For justice! For the truth!”
