A lot of names weren't included as options (White was one of them) and needed to be written in. I know because I wrote in Taichi a lot. ZSJ definitely wasn't an option either so I guess this isn't really a defence of Switchblade

The best thing about Yoshi is the bit in his entrance video where he's just stood there, looking blankly into the distance. For that alone he deserves his place in the top 100.

look man our hospitals charge $300 for a band-aid and the "progressive" health care legislation just required everyone to pay money to blood-sucking health insurance companies, we're a bit insecure about health stuff

the best part of this scene and the whole episode was definitely Ren Narita walking into shot and noticing they were filiming, walking backwards to hide behind a wall and spending the next 20 seconds peeking out.

I think Jerusalem put it best when he said Okada has gone mad after being torn down from godhood.

And because he’s a dork, this is his madness
