Description Christmas Gift 2

Because DeviantArt lacks pretty much any Dokapon Kingdom fanart, which is an absolute travesty, I deigned that this needed to change!

Also marks my first true 4koma piece. Yay!

But since it IS an obscure Atlus game that probably no one has even played, I guess I have to explain. The game is an RPG/boardgame hybrid with some of the zaniest characters and situations I’ve ever seen in a game. Occasionally, when you land on a space, a random character might show up and initiate some mini-game, offer an item, or take your gold for something.

When I was playing the game, I bumped into this “ pink bear-suit clad” character named Roche like four turns in a row. And every time, you’re forced to “roshambo” with Roche. It got old after a while.

But the funny thing is, apparently “roshambo” is the actual name for the famed “Rock-Paper-Scissors” game. I did not know that until now. In fact, when Roche first showed up, I immediately thought about the rules that Cartman described in that old episode of South Park: “First, I kick you in the nuts as hard as I can, then you kick me in the nuts as hard as you can. And we keep going until the one still standing is the winner.”

Ironically, I don’t know if Roche is supposed to be a boy or a girl though (the name, voice and appearance are oddly androgynous to me), so I can’t guarantee that this comic, by technicality, even applies.

And I’d like to end this comment-segment by HIGHLY recommending people to get Dokapon Kingdom if they don’t already have it. It’s available for both Wii and PS2 (which are pretty much the two most owned home consoles as far as I know), so there’s no excuse for not having it.

It hurts to get kicked in the vag, too. Not as much as getting kicked in the nuts, but just as painful. So this fits either gender.

i never actually say rock paper scissors nowadays.... its now ROSHAMBO! and then when i see my friend, i say: Well, well, well! Hello there!

i've actually cosplayed as kira once... oh and, roche is a JERK.

Togamau [2010-09-16 19:14:34 +0000 UTC]

if roche is a girl.... then.... eh?

either way, I dunno why all crime is solved by roshambo in that game. "I run a weapon store! You wanna rob me? Instead of beating you down with all these weapons i'll play roshambo against you!"
*loses*
"I lost... even though I can rip you in half like a phone book, I have to give you my precious stuff."

JocelynSamara In reply to Togamau [2010-09-16 23:56:01 +0000 UTC]

I always assumed Roche was a boy, but if he IS a she then... well, that might kill the joke. I mean, it'd still hurt for sure, but the connotation is different somehow.

Apparently, Roshambo isn't just a game, but a way of life in Dokapon. Almost makes me wonder if I could have just ousted the king from his throne simply by challenging him in Roshambo...

Togamau In reply to JocelynSamara [2010-09-17 10:57:28 +0000 UTC]

probably not, since you only get -some- items when you rob a store and go on your merry way. You may be able to score a castle off him though.

actually Roche is really helpful when your in debt bcuz if u lose to him/her .....it will clear ur debt back to zero (-327834 -> 0) espicially after meeting with dr exile -.-

JocelynSamara In reply to Zeoro [2009-06-23 10:19:58 +0000 UTC]

I've heard that, but for whatever reason I never run into him or her when I'm in debt. It's usually at those times that I come across Gutz or that robot or someone only beneficial to me WITH money.

And then I want to "roshambo" them too, because I'd rather have just made money by killing a monster.

The first time I met Roche, freaked out thinking my character was going to get nailed in the netherzone.

Now, every time I see he/she/it, I passionately wish to be able to do this.
