Ryu Number: Fu Hao

So says Wikipedia: the oldest Chinese dynasty folks are archaeologically sure about is the Shang Dynasty, and most of the written records recovered from the Shang Dynasty come from the reign of Wu Ding, c. 1250 to 1200 BCE. People actually weren't sure whether Wu Ding was a real person or not till the turn of the 20th century, which just goes to show how easy it is for Big Important Past Events to go all Ozymandias on us. Don't like thinking about that.

Historically, marriage as been a way for rulers to solidify their alliances. Wu Ding was apparently all for alliances, because he took on over 60 wives, which is more than even your modern harem anime. Only three of those wives ascended to queendom, though, one of which was Fu Hao. Fu Hao also served as a military commander, leading successful campaigns against surrounding tribes and ethnic groups.

She has a Ryu Number of at most 3.

I know approximately zilch about real-time strategy, but I swear if I hear one more over-obsequious NPC in a thick East Asian accent it'll be way too soon.

HOW SKIBIDI TOILET IS CONNECTED TO OMORI (serious post)

As of today, December 18th, 2024, Skibidi Toilet has been added to the Fortnite item shop. Why should you care about that? I don't know but IM GONNA TALK ABOUT HOW I BELIEVE SKIBIDI TOILET IS CANON TO OMORI INSTEAD OF STUDYING FOR MY FINALS

Fortnite, the main connection link between Skibidi Toilet and Omori. Fortnite has done lots of collaborations, but sadly, no direct omori collabs yet. (OMOCAT AND EPIC PLEASE WE NEED SUNNY CRANKING 90s WITH HATSUNE MIKU, GOKU, AND GODZILLA WHILE WEARING THE SKIBIDI TOILET BACK BLING AND JAYS) Ahem, anyways, how does skibidi toilet connect if omori isn't even REMOTELY close to being in Fortnite? Well...

First, we have skibidi toilet, first added to the Fortnite item shop on December 18th, 2024 in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 1. It is one of the MANY collaborations Fortnite has done. The Fortnite lore extends far beyond my brain can comprehend, but what I do know, is that any and all collaborations are canon to the Fortnite lore. This secures the validity of being canon in at least the Fortnite universe.

Another franchise that has collaborated with Fortnite is Capcom's Streetfighter.

First released on February 21st, 2021, in Chapter 2 Season 5, the collaboration canonized the characters Ryu and Chun-Li from Streetfighter in the Fortnite lore. For our purposes, only Ryu is crucial.

Ryu is a character that has been in many other collaborations before. However, only one of those is important here: Streetfighter's addition to the Super Smash Bros franchise.

Super Smash Bros is another franchise that has done many collaborations in the past, though not nearly as much as Fortnite has.

Ryu was first added to Super Smash Bros 4, also known as the 3DS and Wii U versions, as a DLC fighter, and is also in the base Super Smash Bros Ultimate for the Nintendo Switch. Ryu being in both Fortnite and Super Smash Bros ties the two's canons together, and any characters in both games.

In Super Smash Bros 4 and Ultimate, and in all previous Smash Bros games, Pokemon has been available as fighters and are key characters in the Smash Bros lore.

In Smash 4, the Pokemon Mewtwo, Lucario, Pikachu, Charizard and Jigglypuff are available as fighters, with even more in Smash Ultimate.

Omocat the company has not only worked directly with Pokemon to make exclusive Pokemon Center merchandise on multiple occasions, but Omocat herself has been a fan of Pokemon, and it has reflected in Omori.

In the first Pokemon games, Red, Green, and Blue, the player starts in a small house with a TV on the first floor. If you interact with the TV, it describes a movie. "There is a movie on TV. Four boys are walking on railroad tracks."

In Headspace in Omori, if you interact with the TV in Neighbor's Room, it says the exact same description.

Not only is this a cute reference by Omocat, but it also has canon validity to be there in the game. Dreams, or more specifically for our case, Headspace, often take aspects from Sunny's life. For example, some characters in Headspace are parallels to their real world people, like Berly and Kim, or Van and Vance.

In the Faraway photo album, on Basils birthday, one of the pictures is Sunny playing on a Gameboy.

Originally I had thought this was a Gameboy Color, but it could be either one due to the simplicity of the drawing. Either one works, since the Gameboy Color is compatible with the original Pokemon games anyway. While it's not confirmed which game he's playing, signs do point to a gen one Pokemon game because of the movie in Neighbor's Room and Omocat's connections to Pokemon.

Omori has connection to Pokemon, which has a connection to Super Smash Bros, which has a connection to Streetfighter, which has a connection to Fortnite, and finally, Fortnite has a connection to Skibidi Toilet, therefore making Skibidi Toilet canon to Omori.

Despite Kid Icarus being a common feature of my comics, this is the first appearance of Dark Pit, and I believe the first in-person appearance of Palutena.

Ryu Number: Don Adams

Don Adams was an American actor, best known for his role as the incredibly skilled yet incredibly clumsy secret agent Maxwell Smart in the secret agent spoof sitcom Get Smart. If you don't recognize the title—which, fair enough, it aired literally sixty years ago—he also notably voiced the dimwitted cyborg police officer protagonist of the Inspector Gadget cartoons.

He has a Ryu Number of at most 4.

The last portion of Space Quest V: Roger Wilco – The Next Mutation features our titular protagonist infiltrating the SCS Goliath, making use of its cramped, labyrinthine maintenance tunnels.

Apparently someone in development thought the passageways a bit reminiscent, video-game-wise: Take the right wrong path, and Roger will speedily crawl in the other direction with an unexpected cameo on his tail.

Space Quest 6: Roger Wilco in the Spinal Frontier is fully voiced, including—as you may know already because @ryunumber—noted disc jockey, announcer, and voice actor Gary Owens. Normally this wouldn't be enough to count the actor themselves, even if they are credited in the game—but persist past the end credits and fade-out and you'll hear the narrator thank you for playing Space Quest 6 before extroducing himself specifically as "Gary Owens, signing off." Totally counts!

Finally, guess who got himself a copy of TV Land Presents Blast From the Past?

Mind, it's such a jalopy of a game I couldn't get it to run on my computer without serious graphical issues...

... but I was able to get it to run just runnily enough to confirm its nature! If you ever wanted to play a game where TV stars of a bygone era ask you trivia questions about the shows they were on... then you're not exactly choked with options, are you?

Gary Owens pulls double-duty here, playing both quiz host and TV star questionmonger, his questions focusing on the sketch comedy show Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In (where he was the on-screen announcer).

Don Adams' questions, of course, have to do with Get Smart. Unfortunately, I couldn't get any clean, non-glitched-out footage of him from my recordings, so have this video I extracted from the game files instead.

You know what? There's a charm to it.

How surprised was Ryu by Wii Fit Trainer having exactly none of Dhalsim’s yoga powers?

I don't think he'd be super surprised by it since he's been in plenty of crossover games before. Maybe a little by the total lack of similarity but not enough that he'd be floundering about it.

The smash sandbag (if you even count that as a character) has a ryu number of one, right?

Sandbag has a Ryu Number of 1.

(explanation below)

Sandbag's status as a character is actually rather unambiguous; it's stated as much from its first appearance in Melee.

What's more, it can even emote slightly in Ultimate.

In fact, the only thing that complicates Sandbag's eligibility is its status as an item in post-Melee entries. Some of you may remember CD factories back in the Brawl days, which only worked as well as they did because a lot of Sandbags could spawn.

So you could reasonably argue that this might disqualify Sandbag on account of there being multiple indistinguishable Sandbags.

But hey, turns out they changed it in Ultimate so that only one Sandbag can spawn during a match.

(Note the grayed out icon.)

So that's a neat little detail for this blog's purposes.
