In case you're wondering why I think Nuada wouldn't impress anyone. Everyone inside that restaurant, save for maybe Wu Xie and Pangzi, is nastier than the prince'll ever be. While the outcome still is uncertain they'd be

"Oh yeah. We eat pretty elf boys for lunch, and you're not even worth pearwood chopsticks."

The crossover of the millenia would be if prince Nuada showed up at this auction, and tried to rain hellfire on the filthy rich people bidding on antiquities. He wouldn't exactly impress anyone, and the outcome is uncertain, but it _would_ be interesting. Right?

Guys... you're going to a restaurant, not joining the mo...

...

...Well, this _is_ concerning the Mystic Nine, so definitions are fluid. Still, maybe not be so obvious about it.

(Also: note how production manage to get individual profiles and ~colours, despite all three being in suits. The devil really is in the details.)

This guy, who guards the Archaeological Institute of Changsha University, somehow reminds me of prf Neil Price at the Archaeological institution of Uppsala university. I don't know what to do with this information.

So I'm sharing.

(And if any archaeologists wonder what the heck I'm talking about; the still is from a C-drama that makes Indiana Jones pale in comparison. And yes - there's snakes.)

When he's not singing opera this is Xie Hua's entire character.

On so many layers... It's not just that it's an actor saying the line, the character works (or is at least a serious hobbyist) as an actor in Chinese opera. In addition I suspect he's into shenanigans with mr Black. But Xie Hua's main hobby is standing around looking like he despices everything, so the role is probably as heavy as mr d'Arcy.

Yes, I know; his camping setup is made to reflect that he's some kind of evil-ish super villain. But I really, _really_ want his tent/collapsible house thingy! There's an alcove for the bed, and potted plants! We're roughing it with style!

My knowledge of the source material for Ultimate Note is dim - it's either a novel or a manga. That means I don't know who first created this character, but I want to thank everyone involved in making this digital age hippie! He refuses to do anything unless he gets ~upvoted on QQ.

Considering the massive amount of trigger stuff in ep 10 to ~15 I thought it was strange these were left out. But it looks like production is glad to be of "service"; here they come!
