Notes
- Bizarrely, he never drops any firearms despite the fact that he is shown here to be carrying one and that firearms do drop in the game. This foe doesn't seem to use his displayed gun to attack in the hit messages, either. Maybe he was carrying a toy pistol or something.
References
- The first hit message is a reference to St Patrick's Day, a holiday associated with Irish communities worldwide and its traditions.
- The first miss message mentions "greenbacks" which are a reference to American dollar-denominated banknotes. Bizarrely enough, they don't seem to be legal tender in Twilight (notwithstanding the numerous references that indicate that Twilight City is in real-life America).
- The "green card" in the second hit message refers to the United States Permanent Resident Card, an identification document issued by the United States of America affording non-citizens of that country some of the rights its citizens enjoy, sometimes with the prospect of naturalization.
- The third hit message's mention of a "green gable" could refer to two possible real-life geographical locations, but is most likely to be a reference to the novel Anne of Green Gables.
