| Don't know if this was mentioned in the discussion threads, but I do find it pretty interesting how some of the characters' names are references to black celebrities. Isuzu Sento - 50 Cent (Isuzu means "50 bells") Aisu Kyuubu - Ice Cube Latifa - Queen Latifa Kurisu Takaya - Chris Tucker Kanie Seiya - Kanye West (Seiya has a kanji for "west" in it)  Rap I found in Reddit |

Sure I may not enjoy his style of music and yes I am aware that he does have an very big ego problem, however how does that take away from the overall quality of the anime? Just like everyone else in this world, he is imperfect and has some flaws however despite these flaws, he still manages to become create music that sells, live a successful life, and I have yet to here of him doing anything worth the type of treatment that one would give to a mass murderer or a child molester. |
| "Moffle" is the Japanese word for "waffle", a breakfast food similar to pancakes. Waffles are associated with the American "Soul food" tradition, which is a variety of cuisine popular in African-American culture. Soul food can be traced back to West Africa. In Soul food, waffles are eaten together with chicken. Here is a picture of the Atlanta-based rapper, J. R. Bricks, standing in front of a restaurant which sells waffles:  Macaron's name is a kind of sweet French confection. |

I find this strange that Waffles are associated with African-American soul food despite being a Begian/Dutch creation. |
| @Ameko01: The story of waffles and how they eventually came to be associated with African-American Soul food is a long and interesting one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waffle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_and_waffles |

| This is some good shit. I did think his name was too close to Kanye but didn't think much of the way Seiya was written. |

NebulaC3I said: PriestSlayer said: Dropped Is it really that serious? They're joking.....I hope I think it's awesome and hilarious! I just wonder why the writer(s) chose the theme of black celebrities specifically. Either way I'm loving it and having fun with all the names. Totally missed the Ice Cube one btw |
 |
| It was a joke obviously '-' |

| AlexTheRiot said: I think digging that one out makes you a little racist lol Good point! . For the record, I Googled to look for a connection between waffles and Rap artists, and this was what I came up with. Rap transcends both race and country of origin and unites the world. However, I completely understand your comment, as illustrated in this short clip from "Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ep4rh2aj4VY |
| How the fuck did I not notice this. I even watched that douchbagchocolat video and it slipped right by me |
| Where is Fresh Prince? |
