So, on the surface this is maybe not the most daring dare, and might seem like it’s just pairing two random strong characters. However, an important part of the lore here lies in a background gag in Project A-ko. We only see Eiko’s parents in passing, but it’s a running joke that her parents are Superman and Wonder Woman, though they never state it outright. Now, obviously her dad isn’t the Superman from My Adventures with Superman she’s paired with here, but I think she might be able to recognize even an alternate-universe version of her dad, glasses or not. It just took her a bit for it to really click, which we see here.
It’s honestly an insane bit of coincidence that our April One-Shot winner ended up being this April O’Neil-focused script, but I’m here for it. April has a unique presence in the Studio, showing up in a lot of roles (such as the Spotlight Interviews or hosting Chi-Chi’s Fan Appreciation Tour) while only getting the spotlight shone on her occasionally. For the script here it was said April should be showing up in locations from the game, but I ended up not going that route as I had some other ideas I thought would be fun. So I put her with A-ko and Goku in the room where she MC’d A-ko’s ToL match with Krillin, had her crash an Ask that didn’t happen last month, and also made use of the couch seen in the aforementioned Spotlight Interviews. I did use a game location for the last panel, though. Also they asked for some dialogue, so I provided a bit.
There’s been some interest in having Mei test out her “babies” on other Studio members, but it hasn’t worked out for one reason or another until now. I think it could be a fun idea, and probably one better suited to Dares than Asks (depending on the test subject). For Biko here, though, I thought it’d be fun to visit the idea and see if people want to see more stuff like this.
