Somehow this is one of the more comedic chapters in the entire series. Feels like the author isn't skilled at telling jokes without infringing on the mood.
@cmal was thinking more of Lu Bu from Dynasty Warriors. the beask king sounds like Huang Gai. coincidentally all of them were voiced by the same guy: Inada Tetsu.
in terms of anime, he voiced Gamagoori Ira from kill la kill, for example. so yeah, preety high up on the manly list
@tigerstar186 well he did skip them (the fox girls) over which means he didn't consider them as cats. Also in the first panel he was asking about whether the beastman would like the toys before asking which of the beastman is belonging to cats.
