Author's Commentary #82:
Time to talk about Chapter 82: Halloween insanity.
This chapter was in the original and was where Muramasa Jouzu made his first appearance in the story. The biggest difference between this and the original is the addition of Captain Eagle, who is an obvious parody of Captain Falcon from F-Zero. As for Jester, he and his buddies are all dressed like Mario character, while the pizza ghost and chef are parodies of Pizza face and Peppino Spaghetti from Pizza Tower. Now lets give some bios for some of these characters starting with Vincenzo.
ヴィンチェンツォ・ディルイージ (Vincenzo DiLuigi) is how Vincenzo's name would be spelled in katakana. Like Jester, he originates from Escape Witch. The two are brothers from different mothers and actually have a third brother who's one of I.L.U.'s 12 governing members.
His birthday is September 4th, which is the day the first episode of the Super Mario bros Super show aired. He also says all his lines in English and sounds exactly like Vinny Vinesauce when he does his Luigi voice. Funnily enough, Vinny's Luigi voice was the primary inspiration for Vincenzo. He does also draw inspiration from Luigi from not just the super show, but also the Super Mario bros 3 and Super Mario world cartoons. In fact, his "Hyelp" line is a reference to what Luigi screams in the "Mama Luigi" episode of the Super Mario world cartoon.
ピー・ラフルール (P. LaFleur) is how LaFleur's name is spelled in katakana.
His birthday is February 6th. The reason for this is because the Chester Cheetah Undercover campaign, which features Chef Pierre, whom Lafleur is based off of, aired in 2006. Thus, I decided the closest date to that would be 2/6, February 6th.
His favorite food is Spaghetti Os. He also likes dunking croissants in the tomato sauce too.
ストロンボリ (Stromboli) is how Stromboli's name is spelled in katakana. Stromboli is actually one of I.L.U.'s 12 governing members, making him the first one that's fully seen in the story. He's actually P. LaFleur's older brother, but they have different mothers much like Jester and Vincenzo.
His birthday is October 21st, which is the day Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, Wario's debut game, released. Since Stromboli is heavily based off of Wario, this is a fitting date to be his birthday.
His favorite food is garlic and strawberries, two foods Wario is known to like eating.
As for the Jackal, he's actually the very same Jackal that appears in Wind Sniper 0. ジャッカル (Jackal) is how his name is spelled in katakana. He is essentially a mix of Shishio Makoto from Rurouni Kenshin and Crocodile from One Piece.
His birthday is September 5th, which he shares with Crocodile from One Piece.
His favorite food is raw meat.
キャプテンイーグル (Captain Eagle) is how Captain Eagle's name is spelled in katakana. What, you thought that was just Akito in disguise? Maybe, maybe not.
His birthday is November 21st, which is the day F-Zero first released.
His favorite food is ramen, mainly since Captain Falcon ate ramen in Min Min's Smash bros reveal trailer.
高橋 晄士 (Takahashi Akito) is how Akito's name is spelled. 晄士 means "brightness" and "warrior", while 高橋 means "arrogant" and "bridge".
(If I made any mistakes with the translations, feel free to correct me).
His birthday is June 5th, which he shares with Sylvain Jose Gautier from Fire Emblem Three Houses. The reason for this is because both are womanizers with red hair, and Akito kind of reminds me of him a bit.
His favorite food is angel cake.
Most of these characters aren't likely to have many major appearances in the story going forward, so I decided now was a good time to do their bios. As for the story itself, it will mostly be episodic and more slice of life focused for the next few chapters, then the remake original arcs will begin. I hope you look forward to it.
That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.
