God I love this series, we have come so far from him just starting out and meeting his Mermaid wife. Curious to see what comes of the Orc since they are already so OP compared to many of the regulars people we see (Remember when they captured the demons when they first attacked) Cannot wait for more chapters.

Who's the prince on Page 17 being referenced who uses the staff/like sumo/eats pickles supposed to be a reference to?

The reference is about Sha Wujing/Sa Gojou from the Journey to the West, but "prince" is referring to Arowana. That sentence is just a bit awkwardly phrased.

In Japanese adaptation, Sha Wujing is portrayed as a "kappa", a Japanese folklore creature who eats cucumber and has a tortoise shell on its back. What our guy was saying was basically: "Because the things Prince Arowana likes gives me kappa vibes, it made me think of Sa Gojou, so I made him Gojou's iconic crescent blade".

Plus "Hakkai" is the name of the pig in Journey to the West (Zhu Bajie/Cho Hakkai).

Got it, thanks. Yeah, I know the connection between kappa + cucumbers, but since he mentioned the shell as "equipment" and he looks nothing like one, I didn't really draw any connection there (and because of the phrasing making it sound like the character was also a prince). Don't really see anyone from Journey to the West referenced very often except Sun Wukong.

Yeah, and also it didn't help that the image of Sa Gojou didn't seem to be drawn to have a shell on his back either (but maybe we just can't see it because of the angle). It's a rather roundabout logic, but that crescent blade is really iconic so I guess the author didn't feel the need to elaborate.

The sumo thing might throw people off too. It might be a lesser-known kappa folklore, but there is a lore that kappa likes to have sumo bouts.

And this is the true meaning of the cheesy line, "Love conquers all."

When properly motivated, a person in love will break the boundaries of common sense to reach beyond the ends of the earth.
I mean, I know a certain O-word dude from a certain H-word game that cheated the universe just to give his beloved saintess a chance at least to live in her way :p
