In spite of being clearly aware of the issues, Maru-maru decides to give the third of his drunken mentor’s suggestions a try. Mostly because it was the only technically legal one of the three, and it did work for Vince McMahon. Plus, Maru-maru doesn’t have any better ideas right now.
So he scrapes together the best offer he can muster. And by ‘scraping’, I mean ‘scraping the bottom of the barrel’. Oda’s suggestion foresaw an offer involving a beautiful young bride and a whole bag full of money. Maru-maru can’t quite get there. Not having any living relatives, female or otherwise, the best he can do are a few ancient erotic woodprints of his mother – backed up with all of the money he has. Hard to tell which half of this deal is the more pathetic one. The deal gets a bit better for a gay version of Snuka, since Oda Nobunari, Oda Nobunaga’s ice-skating descendant, is at least a living human being, and quite handsome at that. And he might be susceptible to influence by his drunken ancestor’s spirit, although that’s a pretty limited base for a relationship…
And, yeah…Snuka is making exactly the same unintelligent expression he made in Oda’s vision. But is it really for the same reasons?
More on Thursday.
Honestly, I suspect that for the right price, Snuka might consider playing along with an Arranged Marriage.
Of course, that isn’t to say this is the Right Price…
This one made me laugh a lot! Thank you for drawing it!
