Mnemonic

You keep trading in weapons to get increasingly stronger gear, when you realize that at the top of the list is... a Yankee's (や) baseball bat? Huh. I would have gone for a tank or a bazooka. But I guess if this will increase your power level, you have to go for it.

Imagine walking down a line of weapons, each one increasing in power from the one before it. Bow, small gun, bigger gun, tank, Yankee's bat. Yup, that sounds right.
