Ribbot the robot frog is pretty cool!
Is there any story on merry?
Aww, whoops! Here I go again, not readin' the whole context. My bad!The poster you quoted was saying that Marcel's JP name (Monja) is a reference to the dish monjayaki (which I didn't know), and that explains his JP-themed house interior. You're right that it's similar to how Zucker references the Japanese dish takoyaki.
If you go on Nookipedia and look up villagers there, it'll tell you if their names/designs reference anything. Pietro's name may come from the clown archetype called Pierrot, who is sad and tends to be the butt of the joke. It may also come from the word pied, meaning multicolor (like the Pied Piper).
Clay. Im a little biased here since he's is my ABSOLUTE fav but he's based off a wrestler. he wears a mask so it kinda give me that vibe.
Wow I really like it how much of the characters have a story behind their looks, names or furniture.It's really fun to read!
...I assumed that, y'know, Julian's hat covered his horn? I mean... I don't know why you'd assume it was fake over thatHope this is a joke
Wait, does Clay resemble a wrestler? I thought right away he was based off those figures, I never once thought wrestler, but now I'm questioning myself...Clay’s Japanese name is actually Dogurou, and he’s named after ancient Japanese figures called dogu. Kind of like coco/yayoi is based on haniwa. You can actually get a dogu figure in game, it’s the Ancient Statue.
Not that I want to blow up your head cannon!
No one has mentioned him yet so I will mention my man Rasher right now. He's unique since he's, y'know, the only villager in the entire series to be scarred, and it's also kind of twisted for a childrens game to have a character like that when he has scaring, is deep red, and his name is quite literally in reference to a rasher of bacon...Additionally, I love how his eyes look when he's smiling, and on top of that he's one of the few villagers to show their teeth during certain reactions / animations.
While I agree Rasher is super neat, I do have to point out...
