Their reactions were somewhat different. Gaku bowed slightly and murmured something like, "pleased to meet you", while Blaster was less formal.
"Are you insane?" He yelled, "This is a Zibong!"
"Yes, it is a Zibong," I agreed, calmly, "However, it is also my wife. Her spirit is in there, somehow, and she seems to be in control. For now. Don't threaten her, though, the Zibong part of her is still very strong."
