Not quite -- it's likely from the last name of Udo Dirkschneider, the singer from ACCEPT. He's not exactly well-known, though, and most fans will refer to him as 'Udo', so it's not surprising that the connection hasn't been made. Accept are/were huge in Japan, though, so on that end the reference is likely.Sousaphonist wrote:Dark Schneider is the name of an old 80s band.

Mega-Death!
Honestly, how many writers for anime mags have even heard of Accept, much less know who's in the band??
