There is an Haruhi with a mock religion based on her too beside the fact that her novels sold worldwide 16.5 millions of copies but we'll go with *that* Haruhi. Beside from characters named on the title (like Ranma), I'd also say Onizuka from GTO is hard not to recognize it. ________________ What I like in Trivial Pursuit style. Pick your category:
