2 Girls, 1 Cup (And A Witty Japanese Pun) [PSP]

<p><img src="http://kotaku.com/assets/images/kotaku/2008/06/ikkitousenpsp.jpg" class="postimg left"/>Not only is pantsu flashing fighter <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://kotaku.com/tag/ikkitousen/"><i>Ikkitousen</i></a> hitting the PSP, but it's also rolling out the limited edition goods! Ikkitousen is inspired on Chinese epic Romance of Three Kingdoms and is set against a backdrop of warring high school students. The PSP version, called <i>Ikkitousen Eloquent Fist</i>, is getting a figure set that features Hakufu and Hakufu's flirty, booze drinkin' mom Goei. While Westerners will be quick to see the (unintentional?) 2-girls-1-cup joke, the actual Japanese joke is a pun and has quite a different meaning! This is an "oyako donburi figure" set: "<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oyakodon">Oyakodon</a>" literally means "parent-and-child donburi" and refers to a dish that consists of egg, chicken and rice. And "<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donburi">Donburi</a>" is a "rice bowl dish." Geddit? HILARIOUS.</p> <p>Hit the jump for another pic of this limited edition oyako don figure set.</p> <p><img src="http://kotaku.com/assets/images/kotaku/2008/06/oyakodon_set.jpg" class="postimg center"/></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.mmv.co.jp/special/game/psp/ikkitosen/limited/limited.html#tokuten">Ikkitousen LE Goods</a> [MMV via <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.insertcredit.com/archives/002409.html">Insert Credit</a>]</p> <br style="clear:both;"/> <a rel="nofollow" style='font-size:10px;color:maroon;' target="_blank" href='http://www.pheedo.com/hostedMorselClick.php?hfmm=v2:c18ce65f0f0383016d441ad332a87b81:4ifwa%2Fn5zvZYZxykusIxTWOlsEiIbHFza1FxCxxccwn61hXbkbfgioWECD5IemuBEcAt2nkMEoZLGLJzRjY%2F7warw1obnbx53uwzRcQI1Mg%3D'><img border='0' title='Poll' alt='Poll' src='http://www.pheedo.com/images/mm/poll_computer.png'/></a>
