Some kinds of bread are actually hard enough to make a shield out of… – Chapter 9, Act 2, Strip 56

Yeah, I felt the teams deserved some kind of dedicated intro before the match, and quite obviously I based it on the intro of Eyeshield 21. Just because I kinda always liked that one.

Snuka acts as a representative for the Yuri Shinkai Gakuen team, and does so with style…and without incidents, which is not something he’s really used to. An auspicious start to the whole endeavor, at least on his personal level.

Bernd, on the other hand, is representative only of himself…and of the poor aerodynamic shape of a tin loaf. And of the fact that it’s hard to break one’s fall if one’s arms are way too short. And that that can lead to making an undignified spectacle out of oneself. On the pro side, all of this feels a lot more familiar to Bernd than the complete absence of any humiliating accident feels to Snuka…

More on Monday.
