[ Okay, so about half of that goes over his head, but Souji sounds confident enough that Yosuke's both interested and terrified now. He does catch that Souji has completely tossed the idea of matching out the window. Crap.

The mention of Kanji cues up a look of sheer disbelief. ] No, no! You know, it's cool. Colored tights and all, I mean. Batman and Robin were cool enough in them and they didn't have help, right?

[ He's too busy having a costume meltdown to even notice Souji's struggle with hiding his grin. He'll just keep rambling instead. ] They took down a lot of bad guys in colored tights. If they can do it, we totally can too. How hard can it be? [ ... ] Not that it didn't take effort. I'm sure it did. No one just wakes up and decides, "Hey, I'm gonna be a badass with a metal boomerang and take out a guy in a penguin costume."

[ Now might be a good place to stop him. ]

( And that's Souji's breaking point. A metal boomerang and a penguin costume.

What.

It starts as a soft murmur of laughter, but soon Souji has to cover his mouth in the attempt to swallow his amusement. Then, once he thinks he's regained his composure, he darts a glance in Yosuke's direction, catches sight of that caught-between-a-rock-and-a-hard-place expression, and he's lost. )
