"Tremble Before the Awesome Power of Super Necro Dragon Abzo Dolba"

That was the one line from my episode of Duel Masters #219 (which finally aired last Saturday night) that made me laugh out loud. It's not the greatest line of dialogue by any stretch. It's not the worst line of dialogue I've ever written. But I needed a line of dialogue that identified the creature as spoken by an evil character - and it needed to be a LONG line of dialogue to make the lip sync work.

Enter "Tremble before the awesome power of Super Necro Dragon Abzo Dolba."

I feel like that line of dialogue needs to be the epitaph on my grave.

Here lies Eugene Son. Kinda-beloved Father, Husband, All Around Snarky Guy. Killed in Zamboni accident. Tremble before the awesome power of Super Necro Dragon Abzo Dolba.

There's a story attributed to Ray Parker Jr, when he was asked about how he wrote the theme song to Ghostbusters. He said the hardest part of writing that song was finding a word that rhymed with "busters". Now I know how Ray Parker Jr feels. There's no way I can escape it. This line of dialogue is my magnum opus.

Oh yes - one more thing about Duel Masters episode. The online fans seemed to like the episode. One Duel Masters fan wrote glowing things about how much he enjoyed the episode, then added-

I'm sure [Eugene Son]'s writing will improve...

AWESOME! If this is what the people who LIKED the episode are saying about me - imagine what the ones who hate me think?

As long as they're trembling before the awesome power of Super Necro Dragon Abzo Dolba, I've done my job...
