XCOM was the one where it was a penalty which inevitably summoned misfortune.

Behind on this one, but starting in on it, and I feel like this mission needs to be a banner for some purpose in your threads:

And I'm caught up! Unemployment lets you really focus on the important stuff, like people I've never met playing a video game.

In the last episode, I like
a) that Grace completely misses your Rudolph the Red-Nosed Thief jokes and totally no-sells them (I appreciated them),
and b) you double checked the spelling of Brittany, but have misspelled Judgment in every episode title so far. Priorities!

It is absolutely the wrongest-looking spelling in (American) English. I didn't notice either until the subject of episode title spelling was specifically raised.

I'm impressed that you read that sign at that size, upside down!

The Japanese for the arcade is in fact Sha-ru-ru. (So I guess it's going off the Frenchy pronunciation of "Charles"?) I was really expecting Grace to finally have a solid straightforward answer for explain yourself

Japanese people have such a weird idea what "blonde" means. Seriously, how is that host blonde, Yagami?

Anyway, I guess, I would be quite pissed to get a bill for 100.000 yen for a drink. For reference, that's 614,01€ or 904,86 Canadian Dollars. Not an amount I would carry in cash.

That's an Asian thing generally, I think. Effect of having a pretty limited spectrum of naturally occurring hair colors: there's black, and less black, so the latter gets called blonde without any particular regard for how it's used in the west. My hair color more or less matches the host's, and I've been described blonde by Japanese to each other.

Also, even ¥2,000 is way too loving much for a drink! A side story just straight up predicated on being a sucker. At least Yagami lampshades it a little by saying "ugh, fine, I'll buy a pity drink for this pathetic bar" but that is still high on the list of things to never do as a tourist, let alone a streetsmart local.

the spread legs sign is on Pink Street, so that might not be an accident

e: that first "gotcha" picture in the divorce thing, the guy was standing weird and his hair looked stupid, so my initial impulse was "is she hanging out with donald trump?!"

Speaking of Goofy, Date's VA in the original 2005 Yakuza English dub, as well as the English version of 7 & 8, is the same guy who has been doing Goofy's voice since the 80s.

Without ever switching the VA to English I'm just going to assume that means Date sounds the same as Goofy, including occasionally saying "ahyuck!"

Why would you? That's essentially Yagami's day-to-day job function.

Ok, it's pretty goddamn weird that there's just a wizard hobo in this one. Like, they're barely dressing it up as herbs or anything, it's just straight-up potion brewing.

I regret to inform you that asking your lawyer to discuss how you are definitely going to do a crime now and if he could just help you work on ways to effectively do crime is in fact illegal, and attorney-client privilege does not cover those discussions. This is why Donald Trump is always raving about how THE DEMOCRATS ARE DESTROYING ATTORNEY CLIENT PRIVILEGE SO UNFAIR, because that is 99% of what he talks to lawyers about and at least one was forced to turn over records of their contact after the privilege was successfully challenged.

e: I really thought "at least fourteen" was gonna be a joke about Backpack Boy
