Meet my new favorite Unidentified Exposition Background Character.
Nine Red Scabbards Fanboy
Who is Nine Red Scabbards Fanboy, you ask? He's just a guy. Who loves the Nine Red Scabbards.
And no, I don't mean he LIKES them likes them. I mean, as a child, this man had all nine of the action figures. Still does actually. Still in the box, mint condition. He even had some of the side characters like Boss Hyogoro.
Folks legitimately thought these people were dead for the last twenty years and yet with little to no prompting my man can name off all these people, plus their defining characteristics. If you asked, he probably still remember most of their stats. Cause yeah, he DEFINITELY roleplayed as at least two of them.
But wait, what's this? A character he's unfamiliar with?
I mean look at that man's face and tell me he's not trying to remember what chapter of the manga Luffytaro appeared in. This is why prison labour camps are the worst. No access to wikipedia.
You know what, it doesn't even matter. The point is he is standing on the same ground as some of the Nine Red Scabbards: the single most awesome people in the world.
Reminder: he is still trapped inside a labour camp with guards that are actively encouraged to beat, starve, and maim the prisons and his face just lit up like an 8 year old meeting the Power Rangers. I feel this guy's spirit. And I love it.
[Hmm. Giant talking reindeer ninja? Nope, I got nothing.]
Oh man, just wait until he meets Zoro. Oden needed nine Red Scabbards, Luffy only needs the one. This man's mind is going to be blown.
