What a weird way to affirm the truthiness of your latter statement, Snake. (Unless there's an in-joke that I don't get.)

Cut out panels 3, 4, and 5, and this'll be perfect.

Are you kidding, I think this is perfect now.

Only Pikachu is good enough for Samus.

this could be a reference to the fact that one of the first sentences that is taught in English classes in Japan is "this is a pen"

Related?

samus's hand is a little disproportionate in the last panel...

This is a pun.

fix'd for great justice.

I think "this is a pen" is the traditional first english sentence they teach in japan, but he said it in japanese, so maybe it was just random

No it's not random. The text is actually written in katakana with English words. So, he really speak in english.

Dont this count as rejection?

Don't worry Snake there are plenty more fish in the sea

Oh Snake. You really, really need to work on your pick-up lines. Seriously.
