Funny Bits in Star Ocean 2 (290)

I think this guy may have mixed up his introduction with a taunt. By the way, the 'all-caps' talk Shigeo does shouldn't mean he's shouting, rather he's making a 'robotic' voice; I can't help but imagine him shouting though...

After handing our friends her precious weapons, Dr. Mirage 'zooms' away, saying she has an essay to write (now even she's getting mysterious). Since they haven't heard anything from Narl yet, Claude thinks they should keep training with the virtual TWM simulator, which they do for about a week more. After that, the player is given the option to try some simulated battles him/herself (to get some experience, since it's impossible to leave before the next event...), rest, or go see Narl to see what they should do next. Choosing the last option will make Claude propose they fight the last training battle, but before they start, to everyone's surprise, three of the Ten Wise Men show up.

It seems the Ten Wise Men could see through Narl's secrecy, but they're too late, because now they have to face the blade of the Sacred Tear... er... I mean, the resonating power of the Void Matter, as well as a highly-trained team of fighters! Before taking action, the fiends take some time to smack-talk: Berle and Marsilio, who our heroes have already fought (and lost to), brag about their being tired of waiting for them and show their eagerness to kill them for good this time; the newly-introduced Shigeo (or should I say SHIGEO) isn't a 'man' of many words, yet condensed in his short sentences is all the scorn he feels for any living thing beside the Ten Wise Men.
