Better than [[Series/TheAvengers1960s EmmaPeel]], Creator/{{Marilyn|Monroe}}, [[Franchise/TombRaider Lara Croft]] and [[LasciviousBeautyMark Cindy Crawford's beauty mark]]! Better than the B-side to Music/AbbeyRoad, Music/JimiHendrix and the first man on the moon! Space Mountain, Santa Claus, Bill Gates' fortune, the Dalai Lama, Lazarus raised from the dead! [[Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger Schwarzenegger]]'s testosterone shots, [[Creator/PamelaAnderson Pam Anderson]]'s lips! Woodstock, raves... Better than Sade, Rimbaud, Morrison and Castaneda!

** After being beside himself with joy trying ImpossiblyDeliciousFood with Shiori at a restaurant, Akira comes up with the CatchPhrase that he's still of the age where he's "more interested in food than girls". Carol later pokes holes in that idea. This is in part obfuscating that Akira has a TraumaButton relating to sex from his horrible experience in the slums before the story began.
