petronia1) I have just discovered by reading the singles charts on Wikipedia that "Otoko no Sekai (Mandom: The Lovers of the World)" is a song, by country singer Jerry Wallace (but released in Japan only). It was the theme of a TV ad starring Charles Bronson and went to Oricon #1 in 1970. P2P searches are left as an exercise for the reader.
I'm backlogged by 3-4 chapters though I've kept up with spoilers. My problem is I just want it to be the endgame, now. XD; I mean, the way I see it, options for the last boss of this series come down to:
A) The President of the United States
B) The Second Coming of Christ
C) The President of the United States absorbs the parts of the Corpus Christi, grows six wings and the Spear of Longinus, and we have to defeat him standing on the torch of the Statue of Liberty while he buzzes around annoyingly in circles. Luckily, both Johnny and Gyro have long-range projectile weapons.
I would be lying if I said C) were not my favorite option. And no, I don't think it's going to be Diego - structurally speaking Diego is basically, yanno, Seifer.
2) I see people going back and forth with this, and I just want to say: why not streamline and go for the FFXII/Phoenix Wright crossover? No jury trials in Archades either amirite.
3) It fell out sororial unit is reading Vlad Taltos, and I'm reading Amber. Halfway through the second book, I'll have more constructive comments to make but first of all, DOES THIS REMIND ANYONE ELSE OF KATAMARI DAMACY? With the King, and all the little princes, and the running and running and shifting Stuff around until you get a whole new world to play with okay please tell me I'm not the first person in the universe to think this.

Currently imagining Johnny going "...whatever" with a rather weary expression to Gyro's crazy nonsense, and I have to say, it is an image that I find palatable. XD (Well, at the beginning Johnny was all :OOOO because Gyro was so cool, but lately he's like >_>; whenever Gyro gets all crazy. XD In the latest chapter, his expression when Gyro was all yelling out to the old guy was SO "sigh, why do I like him? oh well, I'll just pretend I'm not here." Of course Gyro's reaction to Johnny's retarded crap is similar. XD; But Johnny is retarded less often!)
Maybe I should do a series of fanarts of SBR charas in FF8 outfits? XD But lessee... Steven Steel clearly has to be Cid, but that makes Lucy into Edea and that seems not quite right? XD I respect her too much to make her Rinoa and she's just not Selphie-like... maybe Ellone? Hmm. Although she'd look hot in Edea's dress. XD
...Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec just came on my itunes random shuffle as I typed that last paragraph. CLEARLY THIS IS A SIGN
