I have many questions:

  • WHO TF IS "OLD NOBODY"?!?
  • why does he have E-Tru's umbrella?
  • why does he look like that?
  • does this have something to do with Halloween?
  • this isn't some kind of racist thing, is it?
  • why does E.T. call Ol Nobody a "loafer", after he went through the trouble of bringing his umbrella?
  • why can't I find any info about "Old Nobody" on the web? Is this a figment of my imagination? It seems like he should have some Powers, like Punch Dodge or something like that.
  • That's a really nice Oi-Zuki Jodan, btw, though True-san's leaning a bit too far forward. Or maybe Everett "The Outburst" True was originally a boxer?
  • Does anybody have more info about "Old Nobody", btw?
