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!
I’m sure that the list of things Snuka would not do for the right price is shockingly short. XD And marriage is definitely not on it…although it might end up on there later, depending on how his experiences with marriage go. XD
But, yeah, the joke is pretty much that Snuka would do it for the right price…and the right price isn’t even actually high, in his case…but Maru-maru still can’t afford it.
“I could get you the ghost of Freddie Mercury, but he’s permanently assigned to choir duty in the Great Beyond…”
XD With SnukaXFreddie, I wouldn’t even be able to decide who would be a bad influence on whom…
