32 | * Gackt was an ArcVillain in ''Webcomic/ManlyGuysDoingManlyThings'', where he released a [[TheVirus virus]] that turned rugged manly men into bishounen. It's also implied that many ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' characters are just alternate forms of him (a joke on how he inspired some character models from that series). [[spoiler:Gackt appears to be dead after a [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Hyper Beam]] to the face, but Rain notes that in a month or so he'll find a way to put himself back to life-slash-in the spotlight]]. [[spoiler:And as it turns out, he had been hired by CommanderBadass's superiors to release the virus. Why? [[FelonyMisdemeanor So they could market new Commander Badass merchandise]].]] |
