23	* TheBigGuy: Black Fang is this among Ridder's crew of course, and it looks like he was this in the Fang Mercenary Company [[https://questden.org/kusaba/questarch/src/126428627494.png too.]]

56	* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Ridder is of the "doesn't automatically associate nudity with sex" variety. When he [[ItMakesSenseInContext gets naked on stage at a club]], he seems to treat it like a bodybuilding show, and doesn't realize until several minutes later that he may have done something inappropriate.

86	* ShoutOut:
87	** [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 "People say they can outsmart me. Maybe. But noone outsmart cleaver."]]
