Unique Comments[]
- Shulk: "He didn't learn his lesson the first time, you know? Isn't there some other way you can both be friends again?"
- Deki: "Ababa is still young, so he is bound to hate the bitter taste. Deki thinks this is the best way of teaching him a lesson."
- Shulk: "Yuck! Just thinking about eating bugs gives me goosebumps!"
