“How the hell would you relate “hike” to Street Fighter?” asked my brain. “I guess just draw someone from SF going on a hike,” it answered.
So I started doodling someone going on a hike, and it eventually turned into Dee Jay. So… cool, I guess?
“Sun… sun… rising sun? The Japanese flag? Do I want to draw a Japanese character? NO! SODOM WOULD BE PERFECT!”
Sodom (sometimes “Katana”) is an American who is obsessed with Japanese culture. He dresses like a samurai, but he wears football pads under his shirt to do so. He has the character for the word “DEATH” written on his chest… incorrectly. Basically, what Sodom has on his shirt is the equivalent of spelling it something like “DAEHT.”
You thought making fun of anime nerds and calling them “weebs” was something new, but Capcom’s been doing it since the ’90s.
