Without hesitation, John Ward answered Bleach. “There are two things I keep trying to do,” John Ward said. “Turn Super Saiyan in the shower and join the Soul Society.”
On the subject of waifus in anime, Romero said he is “the Sailor Moon guy.” Rudd, based on her current favorite anime, responded to Frieren and Maomao (if they want her).
