First of all, fun fact. A little while back some of you may remember that I had a cameo appearance in a comic called Barry Reviews Webcomics (GO READ IT!) where I got to be portrayed as a sarcastic asshole with my own laugh track. It was awesome.

So to return the favor, the drunk you see here is actually a cameo of the character of Barry. (My original plan was going to be to use Mutatsu or Tanaka, but I went with the cameo instead)

Also the whole thing with angry noodles actually is based on a small mom 'n pop ramen place I used to eat at back in Japan. They really did serve you ramen where the toppings in it were placed to represent faces. You didn't get to choose, they gave you whichever one they felt best represented you when you walked in.

For those of you who are getting bored with just seeing Junpei and Rio, I've got a surprise for you on Sunday. Enjoy.
