I feel like this really goes to show how performative all of Blobbo's pretenses at being a pop culture expert are. To give a better example, the basic premise behind G Gundam is that in the future, nations resolve conflicts through Gundam fights. Not only does that series fit better with this idea (replacing war and other means of international disputes with a martial arts tournament; every single country is represented, leading to memorable Gundams like the
Nether Gundam (a giant windmill) and the
Tequila Gundam (self-explanatory); satisfies Bobby's giant robot fetish), he
literally just talked about this same exact series just a couple weeks ago, except all he did was go "durr big robot horse." So the truth is that he doesn't know shit about G Gundam besides memes and jumped to some other "world martial arts tournament" thing instead, one that makes even less sense for this drunken ramble of an idea.
In fairness, more people presumably know about Street Fighter than G Gundam, so going with something that more people can understand might work better. But still, you'd think that someone with such a hard-on for giant robot fights would gravitate towards the latter. Guess not.
