Hmm, the soap I use looks more like this.

In fact, I don't see a lot of square-shaped soap anymore. Where I live, they seem to make em' all curved or oval-shaped.

I'm pretty sure most of everyone on the forums is aware of your soapy status, andwhy.

Speaking of soap, Pixel's made at least 2 games with soap themes in them (Cave Story with the puus and Soaprun with "Soap" in the title). Does pixel have an obsession with this cleansing substance?
i make soap so i may be clean

The arms look more like the toaster handle and lever, if anything. Hmm, does Pixel put soap in his toaster?

Wow. What the heck was that?

Jk but still I find that funny.

Anyways if he does, it would be all hot and stuff and therefore be called "molten lava soap."

I keep thinking he's a gigantic living toaster with mutated arms and legs.

I always saw Balrog as a walking luggage bad that can fly when I first started playing CaveStory, and now I perceive him as a flying toaster. What more could you ask for in the imagination department.

Sad is the toaster that shoots toast sideways.

Balrog is Balrog. He may be inspired by some designs, but in game, he is a robot made by some person. I don't know if toasters are even shaped the same way in Japan.

I found a picture of one:

It kinda resembles Balrog, if you imagine the sliders as his arms. Then just slap some legs and a little face on there, and WHAM.

Does it the toaster shoot rockets? Can it fly and talk?

The toast does seem to rocket upward whenever it's ready to be eaten.

It would be most correct to assume so sir
Much like the Japanese innovation that is the toilet they come with their own personal seat warmers and built in MP3 players

Balrog may be related to dr gero and the nurse in some way, they have similar shapes, the dr and nurse are frogs, like balfrog, also puu black, meaning he may be that species and was cursed to be a robot, he would most likely be a nurse

The lunchbox/briefcase thing is only because the top of the door behind Balrog during his first appearance looked like a handle. I think we can safely discount that.

I think that Pixel wanted to make a villain but didn't know what to make him look like. So he made a square with eyes, a mouth and wings.
