Oh! I've seen that one in the database, too! It's called “Kan'u Kappizu”, or “Operating on Guan Yu's Arm,” and it's one of the few known paintings by Katsushika Oui that still exist today!
[k]
[charaFace E 5]
＠Mash
It's a bold, gruesome painting that depicts the famous general Guan Yu ignoring the pain of his wound while playing Go!

Aww, you guys remember that painting, Master, Mash?[sr]Glad ta hear it made an impression on ya.

[charaFace B 6]
＠Katsushika Hokusai
I'll be honest, I remembered that painting I showed ya when I saw how this here monitor looked like a game board.
[k]
＠Katsushika Hokusai
I thought “That's it. If I just swap the shogi board out for a Go one, I can't lose.”
[k]
？1：So it's just you then, Oei?

？！
[charaFace B 16]
＠Katsushika Hokusai
Yeah, you could say that!
[k]
＠Katsushika Hokusai
I mixed water an' ink into the void to make these seas dangerous! I've been paintin' rocks and monsters left an' right ta slow you down, Master!
[k]
＠Katsushika Hokusai
I added that sonar thingy I heard about at the workshop to the monsters! I got the idea ta hide 'em in the space between Go board spaces by sneakin' a peek at the bridge!
[k]
[charaFace B 11]
＠Katsushika Hokusai
...And I did it all to stop you and this ship, Master.
[k]
？1：But...why?
？2：I don't understand. Why would you do that?
？！
[charaFace B 14]
＠Katsushika Hokusai
Ain't it obvious? For a painter, this Void Sea place's a dream come true!
[k]
＠Katsushika Hokusai
It's like one giant, blank canvas stretchin' out far as the eye can see! And all ya gotta do to get all the paint ya want is stare into the void awhile. What kinda painter would I be if I didn't try ta paint somethin' here?
[k]
[charaFace B 2]
＠Katsushika Hokusai
But for some reason, ol' Toto-sama wasn't convinced! He kept hemmin' an' hawwin' about whether it was okay for us ta paint here or not!
[k]
[charaFace B 11]
＠Katsushika Hokusai
So just this once, I gave 'im a bop on the noggin and disobeyed him. I decided I was gonna get on the Nautilus myself, come hell or high water.

That was how he ended up like this...[sr]an' I've been doin' my own thing ever since.
