All right, all right... so this isn't official news or anything, but it's just silly enough to merit spreading around this series of tubes known as the interweb. Way back when, there was this whole big joke with Genji and attacking crabs for massive damage. Half of the humor came from a big "WTF?" reaction to there being a gigantic crab in feudal Japan. The other half was about the massive damage. Funny, right? Well, turns out there's a reason to it all.The creator of Genji, Yoshiki Okamoto, had something to admit in the latest issue of PSM3. He said: "Obviously no-one among us believes there were giant crabs in feudal Japan. But [I am] allergic to crabs and that's the reason why, if you find its weak point, you can kill it with one blow. It's [my] way of defeating the crab [I] hate." This was via his translator, so we made it less third-person sounding, but the meaning is the same. Allergic to crabs? Well, we suppose hitting them for massive damage is one way to conquer your fears, allergies, etc.
