Monster World game show specials (Johnsonverse)

The cast of Monster World has appeared on several game shows. All have been broadcast on WBC.
==The Weakest Link==
In 2008, the cast of Monster World appeared on the British game show The Weakest Link.
The contestants, comprised of Shinji, Asuka, Rei, Gendo, Misato, Hikari, Kaji, Maya, and Fuyutsuki, were presented as animated characters (the studio audience saw the voice actors). Throughout the show, there was a running gag in which, no matter who the Weakest Link was, Rei and Hikari would always vote for each other; both were removed from the studio when they got into a physical altercation. Eventually, only Shinji and Asuka were left and, not wanting to vote the other off (neither ever having watched the show and not understanding that the final two don't vote for the Weakest Link), made the decision to both vote for Anne Robinson, who was quite shocked, before proceeding to declare them both the Weakest Link, to which the pair pulled out blasters and indiscriminately opened fire, hitting the camera. In lieu of the normal sign-off, a technical difficulties slide showing Rei and Hikari hitting each other with tools was shown, accompanied by the intermission music from Monty Python and the Holy Grail and Fuyutsuki giving a blow-by-blow of what was going on in the studio, before John Cleese broke character after noticing the music that was playing and began telling a story about how the ending of Monty Python and the Holy Grail was rewritten due to budget issues. Ultimately, the episode had no winner, and there have been fan movements calling for a rematch.
==Who Wants to Be a Millionaire==
After the success of the Weakest Link special, WBC decided to create a one-off Who Wants to Be a Millionaire special where Shinji, Rei, Asuka, Gendo, Misato, Hikara, Fuyutsuki, Kaji, Maya and Makoto each play the game for charity. Like in the Weakest Link special, they were presented as animated characters, though the studio audience saw the voice actors. Shinji took home $32,000, Rei took home $32,000, Asuka took home $500,000, Gendo took home $250,000, Misato took home $32,000 after losing the $125,000 question, Hikari won the $1,000,000 prize (but didn't keep it since Rei stole it, and successfully offshored it), Fuyutski took home $250,000, Kaji took home $32,000, Maya took home $64,000, and Makato took home $500,000. In between milestones, they bantered with host Meredith Vieira. The special ended with Rei and Hikari fighting (again) and trashing the set, destroying three light columns, a screen, and the Hot Seat.
