九 being there without other numbers makes me think about 老九门, mostly! xD (Watching that show was a fun way to solidify more basic numbers in my head.)

For me it's both 烛九 and 老九门. *g*

Oh, looking up 九 in the script I had to filter out SO MANY 烛九s. (Do you think he has eight older siblings?)

[trobadora]

He doesn't give off the vibe of someone with a large family, does he? But if so, maybe the reason he's so Extra is because his entire family is full of people so unimaginative, they just number their kids without even a second character for flavour. :p

LOL oh dear, I can see it! Or the spoilt youngest child.

Yes! (Today's Chinese study is sponsored by the 老九门, can you IMAGINE.) I think you could make up a whole cast of numbered characters--Wu Xie's dad and his two uncles, Xiao Bai as 四妹, 薛五 and his henchman 六子, ...I'm getting stuck on 7 and 8 but they must be in there somewhere?

Ba-ye (八爷) (his actual name is Qi Tiezui 齐铁嘴, but nobody uses it) is a main character in the show 老九门 | The Mystic Nine! I can't recall anyone with seven off the top of my head, though. (And The Mystic Nine has Xie Jiuye (九爷) for nine, if you'd like a character with that number! And Er-ye, and Huo Sanniang who absolutely has another name but is called Sanniang all the time... that show is even more full of numbered names than usual for DMBJ. xD)

But yes the idea of 老九门 sponsoring an educational program like this is hilarious. xD

八爷, 九爷, and 三娘! Excellent, thank you! (I think 老九门 would absolutely sponsor a Chinese study program if they felt that the learners could subsequently be useful to them in some way...)
