It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Hilarious, yet deeply committed. And tragic, too!
I wonder if they fight crime?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Izzy vows not to allow this to happen and willfully sets about forcing circumstances his way.
