One of his lines were mistranslated, while answering Van's "Give up?" question, as "いや、レイ!" (No, Rei!). This caused him to be caring to Rei, possibly also paired up with, too. Rei has been referred to as being a reference to Hino Rei from Sailor Moon, Rei from Hokuto no Ken, Rei Ayanami from Neon Genesis Evangelion, or Rei Shinohara from iDOLM@STER: Cinderella Girls. Because of this, Mark is sometimes portrayed as an otaku/Wapanese in Gachimuchi videos, either listing his favourite Characterss or dating them. To add to this, his shout "I give up!" was misheard as "Akiba!", the nickname given to Japan's otaku cultural center Akihabara. Based off misheard dialogue, he's a big fan of anime with Lucky☆Star and Strike Witches being his favourites.
