: To the booming tune of "Awaken" from the anime JoJo's Bizarre Adventure , three hyper-masculine, oiled-up Custodes strut into the throne room.
: The trio consists of Karstodes , Custodisi , and Wamuudes (parodies of the "Pillar Men" from JoJo ).
: Instead of heavy, golden power armor, they are wearing next to nothing but helmets and loincloths.
Kitten sheepishly explains that following the Horus Heresy, the Custodes felt so much shame for failing to protect the Emperor that they "redefined" the use of their armor.
In the broader lore of the series, Captain-General "Kitten" has installed a text-to-speech device on the Golden Throne. This allows the skeletal, psychic God-Emperor of Mankind to finally communicate after 10,000 years of silence.
