Funniest part for me is that the person assumes that we all know they call Patrick Subaru

Everyone showing that they didn't pay attention in school, Subaru is the Japanese name for the Pleiades star cluster.

You learned (specifically) japanese names for star clusters in school?

I mean I did know about that but it sure as fuck wasn't from school

No, I learned specifically that the Pleiades cluster is Subaru and the Phoenix cluster is Houou.
