Now HERE’S a gag that’s been woven surprisingly deep into the Far Out there mythos. Princess Rheiko was introduced waaaaaaay back as an example of how much media sucks, man, and has been popping up in various forms ever since. Not the least of which being one very controversial theory.

Could this be leading up to an actual appearance by the Lost Princess herself? I remain coy and noncommittal.

(Historical Notes: I think at this point it’s silly to pretend there isn’t SOME kind of payoff planned for Rheiko, but I remain coy on WHAT.)
