I thought I recognised the name Ulala, she's from the old Sega published game Space Channel 5.

It's going to pay off eventually--I'm sure of it.

Any day now.

When I saw that Ulala wanted a dance battle, I knew she'd either be incredibly easy or absolute SSS-tier. I'm a little sad they didn't go with the latter, honestly.

e: what the gently caress, Haruka actually stood there while she left to go get takoyaki, and then came back to berate Haruka further.

...I guess it's nice that Haruka finally watched a person die and got something positive from it?

Also, have a capture of Haruka's death stare. Grace doesn't really post, but if he wants a new avatar:

So Park got married when she was eighteen to a guy who gave her a super expensive pen. Something tell me this guy was very far removed from eighteen.

I get the feeling it's kind of implied Park's ex-husband is yakuza, with the "went where I couldn't go" thing?

I still don't know quite what the writers were trying to do with her, but RIP, she met the fate of all supporting female characters in Yakuza games: dying to move the plot a bit forward.

With Yuki ran out of town, he can't go back for a warranty claim. So sad.

The yaki in various dishes usually means roasted or grilled ye. Yakitori is grilled chicken. Yakiniku grilled meat, Kanrai basically. Okonomiyaki being a savory pancake made from batter, filled with or topped by various ingredients (wildly varying by location), and then cooked on a griddle.

I expected a lot worse from the Yoko storyline, so that was a nice surprise. Could have done with a bit less of the player character going "Hey audience, this is weird, right audience?"

Nothing you two can come up with can top my disappointment that: 1. they didn't give Haruka her own version of Baka mitai, and most importantly, 2. despite being the sister game to 0, Kyonbo isn't in 5.

I wonder if the name thing was basically a kanji quiz in the original Japanese. That could be hard even for natives; names can use kanji that aren't in the standard group, as well as unusual pronunciations.

Nah, none of the answers are that complicated.

My favorite part of this substory was that there was no timing bar in the Eng PS3 release, so unless you understood Japanese you had to memorize when the line was going to end for you to respond.
