Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Fridge Brilliance

  • Some regard Koume's rendition of "Tokyo Bushi" as rather ironic, since many Tokyo landmarks described in it will be flattened by B29s during World War II and the tune is based on an American marching song. Whether it's deliberate is to be seen though – it's simply a well-known song in Japan and the makers might merely have wanted to set the nostalgic mood which permeates the series.
    • The lyrics, written in the Teens, also reference several landmarks already flattened by the Great Kanto Earthquake of '23. Take that as you will.
