Nicely packaged in a box, they make a good gift, as Takeyasu suggests. In the comments, fans were enthusiastic about the idea- with both fans and Takeyasu making jokey references to well-known lines from the game. For example, one <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DaTa_jp\/status\/1830937661043024317\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">user<\/a> joked that \u201cIt seems there will be 72 different <em>dorayaki <\/em>designs (for Enoch).\u201d- referencing the game\u2019s opening: \u201cIt\u2019s the story of a man known by 72 different names.\u201d\u00a0Many commented on how funny the faces looked on the <em>dorayaki<\/em> without any outline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/video.akamai.steamstatic.com\/store_trailers\/256852416\/movie480_vp9.webm?t=1633015449\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Since being posted on the afternoon of September 3, the El Shaddai <em>dorayaki<\/em> post has racked up over 2.5 million views and 1600 retweets.
