No, I know, but it's possible that it's a reference to the idea that Maria is somehow descended from him or that family.

 ---------- [Ogami]  ... oh... right. Kohran's also one of the girls I have yet to comfort. [Ogami]  Well, I'm sure it'll be just fine. I mean, the subject matter doesn't involve robots or mechanics or horrible perversions of scientific principles, so she might just laugh it off. Right? Right. ----------  ----  [Kohran]  Ah wonder what's happened to Ayame-han...? [Ogami] Kohran... ---------- [Ogami] ... this is really going to be a very, very long night, isn't it. [Kohran]  Ah'm entitled to have my own little weepy number, ain't Ah? [Ogami]  ONE little weepy number, Kohran, ONE! I live in terror of my own machine because of your LAST little weepy number! [Kohran]  What? Oh, y'all ain't scared of no ghost in the shell, are you? [Ogami] ... Kohran, if I've learned one thing in this theater, it's that deep within my heart lies the courage to admit that I am scared of near goddamn EVERYTHING. ----------  [Kohran]  I ain't no gunslinger like Maria-han, an' Ah don't have Kanna's strength. ... puttin' it another way, all Ah got is a dash of dexterity an' bein' handy. ---------- [Ogami] And speaking of fear, your "dash of dexterity and handyman skills" scares me almost as much as Maria's physics-warping gunkata skills and Kanna's physics-warping superhuman strength. [Kohran]  Ya left out Iris. [Ogami] ... I'm trying not to fear fear itself. ----------  [Ogami] .......... ---------- [Ogami] So- wait, you didn't go to school at ALL until you grew up? [Kohran] Naw. It worked out, tho', since Ah picked up a lotta poo poo livin' out on the streets. [Ogami] Hmm. Street smarts and all that stuff? [Kohran]  What? Naw, Ah meant literally! D'you have ANY idea how much poo poo there was in th' slums or outskirts, jes' layin' around for anyone to use? Or all th' things you can do with all th' poo poo in the streets? [Kohran]  Fuel, fertilizer, stink bombs, buildin' materials... it's like paintin' with all the colors of someone else's wind! [Ogami] ... and the smell? [Kohran] My sense of smell's completely shot! Ya don't get much bathin' in when you're livin' in a hobo's paradise. [Ogami] How about rivers near the cities where you lived, or- [Kohran] Ah'd have gotten more poo poo on me if Ah'd done THAT, Ogami-han. Anyway, Ah managed without schoolin' for a while, though I missed some poo poo. [Ogami] ... [Kohran] Ah'm speakin' figuratively, Ogami-han. [Ogami]  Oooh. Still, given what you know and can do now, I don't think you really missed anything important. ---- TEN YEARS AGO: [Chinese Child in School]  The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. [Chinese Teacher]  <No! NO! You MUST not forget the brackets or the information tag! One more time.> (In Chinese). [Chinese Child in School] <The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. In Chinese.> [Chinese Teacher] <... close enough for now. Children, you must keep both the brackets AND the tag. If you don't, you will be given a silly accent and be forced to become the wacky sub-character who sings vaguely Chinese-ish songs for the amusement of others!!> (IN CHINESE!!) ---- [Kohran] ... y... yeah, Ah'm sure Ah didn't miss anythin' crucial, Ogami-han. ---------- [Kohran] An' Ayame-han picked me up. She even let me come an' learn in Japan.  ----  [Ogami] Kohran...  [Ogami]  It's too early to give up, right? All we have to do is go and save Ayame-san. If we do that... you can properly thank her, right?  [Kohran] When Ah'm all by myself, Ah can't do a thing, but...  ---------- [Ogami] Well, you're sure going to beat Sumire-kun to it, because she doesn't want to save Ayame-san at all! Ha ha ha! [Kohran] ... really now. [Ogami] Yeah, she's going on about how she's going to avenge Ayame-san by dealing the last blow when we go and confront demon!Ayame. Isn't that a hoot? [Kohran] ... REAAAAALLY now. [Ogami] ... I shouldn't be telling you all this, should I. [Kohran] 'Course not! Whatever makes ya say THAT, Ogami-han? [Ogami] The terrifyingly sharp tools that popped into your hands via hidden compartments hidden all over the library that I had NO idea ever existed? -----------  [Ogami] Yeah, of course. We'll all go and save her together- okay?  ---------- [Ogami] Yup! No problem at all! Now PLEASE remember that the keyword is "together," meaning that you really should put that hacksaw down and not go to give Sumire-kun a lobotomy OR ask me to hide the evidence. Again. [Kohran] ... [Ogami] ... c-come on, Kohran, don't give me that face, that's really not fair. [Kohran] ... ---------- [Ogami] C'mon... smile, Kohran. If you make that face, Ayame-san'll laugh at you.  ----  ----  [Ogami] Right, right! Your smiling face's really the best, Kohran. [Kohran] Thanks a bunch, Ogami-han. Ah'll be goin' back to my room t' sleep, 'kay? You should get some rest too, Ogami-han. G'night, now! [Ogami] Yeah... good night. ---------- [Ogami] ... [Kohran] ... [Ogami] You ARE going to go straight to your room and not to, say, Sumire-kun's room, equipped with an array of VERY uncomfortable gadgets? [Kohran] Ha ha ha, of course not! Ah'm jes' waitin' for you to look away, that's all. No reason. [Ogami] ... I... right. I'll- I'll just take your word for it. ----------  And next up is the second-to-last girl in the theater: Iris! Finally, Ogami built up the courage to face fear itself. He is truly a man among men, a hero of all time, a-  Hahahaha, yeah, no, he just got dragged into another "walk into this corridor and get buggered" forced event. Not that that's an uncommon thing in this theater or game, but there you have it. [Ogami] Iris? What are you doing out here!? ---------- [Iris]  Oniichan, I- [Ogami]  Why are you loose? Who left your door unlocked!? O-Oh my god, I've got to- [Iris] Onii- [Ogami]  DEFCON 1, DEFCON 1, ALL IRIS CONTAINMENT PERSONNEL, GET YOUR ASSES UP TO THE SECOND FLOOR IMMEDIATELY, WE'VE GOT A BREACH, LOCK DOWN THE THEATER AND- ---------- [Iris] I can't sleep... I saw a scary dream, and... I can't sleep. ---------- [Ogami] ... o-oh. [Ogami] Sorry, false alarm, guys, you can go back now. [Kanna]  Awwww, but I REALLY wanted to try out this set of Anti-Iris knuckles! Kohran made 'em for me, you know. [Ogami] ... Kanna, do you really want us all to be consumed by our own scorched earth strategy when there's really no need for it? [Kanna]  gently caress yeah! [Ogami] Dumb question. Let me amend that: Kanna, do you like being in the middle of a crater where everything within a 100 km radius is blasted down to uninhabitable, radioactive bedrock? [Kanna]  ... well, it gives me one helluva a bad rash, but I could live with it. [Ogami] ... it'll burn all the food within a 100 km radius. [Kanna]  OH GOD WHAT KIND OF HORRIBLE DYSTOPIAN FUTURE DID THESE FISTS OF MINE ALMOST CREATE!? [Ogami] R... right. So please don't punch the floor with that thing, okay? [Kanna] What, like thi- [Ogami] NO NO NO NO NO PLEASE KANNA JUST GO BACK TO MURDERING CIVILIANS WITH SAKURA-KUN. [Kanna]  Yay! ---------- [Ogami] ... anyway, let's go back inside your room, okay? You'll catch a cold out here. Insofar that it's actually possible for Iris to fall ill to such mundane mortal maladies.  ----  [Ogami] Huh...? [Iris] Sakura, and Grandpa Yoneda, and- they all end up going to a pitch black place. Everyone disappears, just like big sis Ayame. Everyone- everyone- [Ogami] Iris... [Iris] Oniichan, you won't go anywhere, right? You won't leave me alone and go off and disappear, right!? I don't want to be alone... please, please don't make me be all alone... [Ogami] Iris... ---------- [Iris] And whatever you do, please don't start bleeding from your suddenly-empty eye sockets and shrieking about how the glorious demise of all mankind is nigh while praising some false demon, just like they did. Okay? [Ogami] ... um. I think I can avoid tha- [Iris]  Oh, do you want me to describe the dream even MORE, Oniichan? [Ogami] Wait, wha- [Iris] Okay! Well, you see, after THAT, the ground began shaking and turning into goopy, melty flesh, and the very foundations of the world itself split apart, letting forth eerie wails sung in a unspeakably tortured voices, and the sky boiled into- (TEN AGONIZINGLY LONG MINUTES LATER...) [Iris]  -- and then the quivering, fleshy mass of what was once the Imperial Assault Force quickly began withering away into dried, leathery husks, and then into naught but dust, leaving behind nothing but horrifically twisted bones that had flowed together along with the broken dreams of the abomination's individual components! Teeth were gnashed! Tears were shed! Bread was buttered on the wrong side!! [Ogami] ... [Ogami] O-O-Okay, t-that was- a-anyway, Iris, y-you don't have to worry, n-nothing like that will ever- [Iris] Okay, time for part two! [Ogami]  N-N-N-N-N-Nuh- (TWENTY EVEN MORE AGONIZINGLY LONG MINUTES LATER...) [Iris] - and lo, the unspeakable horrors that live beyond the stars were consumed by the thousand blood-tendrils of what was once all the oceans of our once-puny world, now a twisted paradise for the grotesque parodies of life that slither, crawl, and skitter across the surface! [Iris] ... the end. [Ogami] ... [Ogami] why ----------  As usual, there's the two relatively normal options and one HURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR option. [Ogami] I'll always stay by your side. So don't worry, okay?  [Ogami] Really. I promise, Iris, I'll stay by your side. ---------- [Ogami] ... because, quite frankly, I don't think I will ever be able to go anywhere alone anymore, and I am no longer picky about the company I keep. [Iris]  EXCELLENT. ----------  [Iris] Hey, Oniichan. We'll... we'll all be together forever, right? All of us? I hope big sis Ayame comes back soon. [Ogami] Yes... she will.  [Iris] I'm sure that she's... she's lonely because she can't see everyone. [Ogami] Yeah... we'll hurry and pick her up.  [Iris]  Hey, Oniichan... can you stay with me until I fall asleep? [Ogami] Of course. Rest well, Iris. [Iris] And, um... don't turn off the lights until I fall asleep, okay? [Ogami] ... got it. I'll leave them on. ---------- [Ogami] Because seriously, do you think I'd agree to being all alone with you in a darkened room? ---------- [Iris] Then... good night...  [Ogami] ... oh... looks like she's already asleep. Now to head out without waking her. Sweet dreams, Iris...  Well then, that's five of the six girls talked to/counseled/HOT-BLOODED at. 'Course, there's only one more obstacle preventing Ogami from saying that he's done all that's required of him (and loving straight up to his room to hide from the upcoming end of the world):  Maria. NEXT TIME: The depression train makes two last stops!

WHOAAAA okay, Asia was more draining than I'd expected.

While many still regard the first the best I find ST2 was more well rounded game and had a better story. It just lack the joy of discovery that came with playing the first game for the first time is all. One gripe I had with ST2 is that my relationships were set back to zero. It's almost like my character was never terrorized... I mean built up a meaningful relationship all that time from the first game.

It wasn't really much better when he actually ran a thread for it, or his Castlevania 64 thread either for that matter.
