The dialog is good, they actually are quirky characters because both of them are from super fucked up heirarchies and being themselves on Monster Hunter Planet.

One of the Yautja looks like Heihachi Mishima.

"Big Boss" sounds like a military rank, "five star general" sounds like a truckstop diner, although Big Boss could also be the name of a diner.

Something I really really want to know is "what was on the Chinese porcelain exported to Renaissance Italy"

We have extensive knowledge of how Hokusai and other 1800's Ukiyo-e manga used as stuffing paper lead to modernity defining Art Noveau and so on, so 15c porcelain...

Satan / Iblis إِبْلِيس in the style of a Buddhist Bodhisattva or Hindu Deva, 1923 edition of the mega-hit 1782 "Gothic Orientalist" novel Vathek.

Writer William Beckford collected Indian, Chinese art, owned Yuan dynasty porcelain that 14c Mongol/Chinese gave to the king of Hungary on their way to Rome

Pokemon Black White 2 completes Satoshi Tajiri and Ken Sugimori's homage to Kazuma Kaneko's Shin Megami Tensei computer demon summoning RPG,
Team Plasma lost LAW Authority, immediately becoming CHAOS insurrection.
