It's cool, I don't really expect a lotta people to estimate anything out of me to begin with
Speakin' as someone who's dealt with barriers before, is it spherical or just front loaded, because leaving the back exposed is great for a sneak attack.
Not that I would, I'm just sayin
Well actually what I'm tryin' to say is that if you're defending yourself, do it right, yeah?
'Cause I was actually pretty worried that you didn't make it or something
[Gundam probably should have expected another barrage of text from Ryuji after he choked him for trying to make a theatrical and timely exit once before-- but he finds himself glaring at the screen of his communicator once again.
He's annoying. He's obscenely crass. He has no appreciation of personal space. The very basis of his characterization has been to be an irritant since his inception!]
Spherical-- of course I took into consideration such an act of cowardice from an assailant.
My overwhelming power could drive even the bravest beings into a fit of pitiful desperation to dispense of me!
[It's odd to be pursued so diligently. There was of course Hajime-- but he was 'the singularity' and that was when he was on the island. Their sacred bond has not truly been re-affirmed here. That would take time.
...and then there was perhaps the Dark Queen, allured by a desire within to awaken her hidden power! ...But she isn't here.
Despite some attempts with varying levels of failure and limited success with others trapped on this craft--!!
[There's a bit of smirk on Ryuji's end when he received these replies, and he finds himself shaking his head a little bit at what's going on. If anything, Gundam truly sticks to the whole persona he's built for himself, and it's... amusing? Endearing? It's hard to really pin it as anything, honestly, but Ryuji doesn't buy into it entirely; he figures there's gotta be a normal dude behind all the gusto and edginess he uses to keep people at arm's length.]
Yeah... I kinda feel the same way. Too much shit left to do, you know?
Anyway, it must be tough bein' a single parent with 4 kids. I can only kinda guess, 'cause my mom's one too, and I know I was always puttin' her through hell just bein' myself.
I am not a parent to the Four Dark Devas of Destruction, I am their friend and their master.
I would never be capable of devouring them.
[Horrifying hamster facts aside-- Gundam and Ryuji have more in common than he'd thought. He's not as open about bearing his soul, but he can sympathize with a non-existent father and an over burdened mother.]
Of course. For a mere human you seem to have rather low deception when it comes to your skill set.
Dude, I literally didn't say a damn thing about eating them, why the hell did that just come up like it was just the most natural thing to say in the world
[He's calling the hamster police on you, what the heckie.]
But yeah. I guess lying just doesn't really suit me, y'know? There's a point to it, and I get it, but like. Usually people find out anyway, so it's just easier to tell them the brutal truth, no matter what the consequences are
Your little dudes don't look like monsters. They're more like... little assistants? Yeah, sure. That's it. Also, why'd you name them after shounen manga serials?
[PLEASE... give him someone he can talk to about Two Piece, Breach, Maruto. He's dying for intelligent anime discussion.
...]
Is bein' an anomaly a bad thing? I mean, like, if the rest of society sucks major donkey butt, it doesn't mean you gotta be like them, too.
[Hey!!! Dude is a term of endearment to Ryuji. He says it about pretty much everyone.]
So........ the sacred texts are manga.
[Hey, he's not going to complain about that. He loves comics, unapologetically.]
Y'know, you talk like a dark lord and all that shit, but like. You're just a punk like me, huh? The rest of the world's always looked at me and got the wrong kinda impression, but when you just. Like. Accept that about yourself, it's almost like it becomes your own sorta power.
Glad you admitted to bein' a giant otaku it's okay, no big deal man, we can talk about your thoughts on Ruffy later since like, I never got to find out if he escaped Frand Isle and I'm hopin' you're from the future or something
[This is so, so, so, so lame.]
Lightning
And maybe ramen, but I haven't figured out how to actually use that power yet
It's only natural to idolize the fictional beings humans see in manga and anime. These things are common place to an Overlord such as myself, I'd forgotten how remarkable they must seem.
[So neither has the obvious advantage between them then. It would be a most engaging battle between equals!]
That's not a power. Ramen is that which sates you, driving you to train to your fullest potential and obtain true strength in this world!
[You know like Maruto.]

[HE'S VERY MUCH AN EMBARRASSING HUMAN FROM EVERY ANGLE.
But that's a digression.]
Yeah man you're definitely something special I ain't ever gonna deny that
[God, he's smiling like the world's biggest dork right now.]
Listen
What about a superhero who could shoot ramen out of his fingers like Arachnidman? But the noodles were super strong and they could totally like grapple the shit out of bad guys

It appears I’ve overestimated you as a human.
I must create a barrier to repel you for a while.
[No hearts for you for that dialogue option, Ryuji.]

Thank god?
He was really scared there, for a moment.]

You insult me!

Huh? How the hell did I insult you?
I thought we were blood brothers now
Like, that runs deep, man
no subject
...feh!
I am perhaps... vaguely impressed, however. You did not succumb either.
["Blood Brother" -- it is more impressive sounding than the term "soul friend" at least. It's always important to one up Souda when he can...]
Maybe there is a kernel of truth to what you say.

You are an anomaly. In all my time with earthly life, I have known any being capable of speech to enviably betray.
Such is the nature of man.

They are my Four Dark Devas of Destruction and my magical beasts have a thirst to kill!

These are names that were prophesized in the sacred texts. The names of four heavenly kings that would come to serve me!

Uh... this again, huh. The singularity.

[He'll read an encyclopedia from front cover to back. So long as it is relevant to animals.]
However, I suppose if one chooses to ignore the weight of time bearing down on one's soul... manga is an acceptable form of entertainment.

[Does he not say it enough? Maybe he needs to work it into conversation more.]
Pray tell, what sort of power has your shunned existence afforded you?
[Fire? Grass? Ghost? -- hopefully not Water he's weak to Water types.]

KNEW IT.
HE FREAKING KNEW IT.
Ryuji is so stupidly elated over this.]
