"Ruler: WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS HYPER-CONDEMNED SHITCURB OF A MOVIE?!"
 * Artistic License Religion: He stated that Christianity was founded in Europe, while it was technically founded in the Middle East. This is understandable since it spread throughout Europe early on. He also stated earlier that he knew very little about Christianity outside of popular culture references.
 * Badass Beard
 * Berserk Button: It was pushed hard when he learned of Dragon Ball Evolution calling ki attacks airbending, and it took a punch from LordKat to knock him out of it.

"YRoT: *Facepalm* "This series is sustained by the fangirls...""
 * He also loves to bash Prince of Tennis and Naruto at every opportunity.
 * His reaction to Rollo T calling Gantz a Shonen Series during Weekly Manga Recap is something to behold.
 * And, of course, don't call Avatar: The Last Airbender an anime. Just don't.

 * When wondering how Prince of Tennis got almost 400 chapters in Jump, he suddenly realized it's because fo the Fanservice and the girl readers.
