In Toronto Canada 2010, there was a lack of a symbol that united those who liked different aspects of the world of Scott Pilgrim of power pop alternative style rock, or the gamers through the references, or the shut in lifestyle of being outgoing while staying indoors, and many other hobbies that was called arcas. Many Otaku were interested in overlapping hobbies that those labeled Arcas enjoyed and so did Akibakei, but many people who identified as Arcas in both the Pacific North West and Toronto Canada were not satisfied as being claimed under either banner of urban culture. Thus, a flag that was to incorporate the overlapping unified urban cultures and different people who might have interests similar to arcas culture could benefit from a symbol of a common ground to avoid future conflict.
This issue was set aside for concentration on other aspects of Arcas, since it is unknown how much discussion was taken place before shelving the idea of a unified symbol. It reemerged in 2011, when Otaku had tried to absorb the ideas of Arcas as their own into American Anime Conventions, but controversy arose after the idea was presented by those in the Scott Pilgrim fandom. In response to the absorption idea a flag was actually designed with a blue background, dark grey computer chip lines, and two white lines crossing the center of the flag. This would be the symbol of crossing cultures of similar ideas with a unique identity through arcas to make the “Arcas Flag”. The idea of moving so quickly caught people who were inside certain hobbies to be shot off gaurd from the development of Arcas culture, but those who were interested in Arcas needed to communicate others to not absorb them. The arcas flag slowly grew as a need to develop social interactions of different fandoms, and the flag sometimes sprang up at Esports events. Those who wanted to make Arcas events had to use the flag to advertise what sort of content would be the events they were hosting to continue to grow the usage of the flag. About Flag of Arcas Culture The urban cultural flag of the Arcas, often simply referred to as the Arcas flag, consists of a single blue line (referred to specifically the video gamers from the arcades who came together to form arcas). Four outlying white lines (referring to the cultures at the time that crossed through overlapping with arcas including: otaku culture, akihabara type, computer geeks, and sci-fi geeks) Four computer chip lines that surround the white lines (referred to audio amplifier, computer monitor, selection controller,and peripheral device) and a Planet in the corner (referring to science fiction). Symbolism The flag represents Arcas with a focus on technology of computer chips that are found in many home appliances in the electrical market.

The use of the flag and the urban cultural anthem Re:Re [lyricless live ver.] from the group (Asian Kung Fu Generation) and has been used at the beginning of major arcas events while finishing opening ceremonies.

Arcas Pamen (aka. Oil Ramen) has its origins from Japanese Instant Noodles and evolved into a thicker sauce that made the broth the star in a gravy like appearance and savory taste with the familiar Japanese Instant Curled Noodles. The name comes from Pa in (pasta) that comes from a Pasta Oil Sauce and Men (mein) from Ramen Noodles that in turn gets the word from the chinese word for noodles.
In the past instant ramen was popular with gamers and college students, due to a cup of ramen was easy to stick in the microwave and be ready to eat in minutes. Not only was it popular in Japan, but later on in North America it also left an impact with the old flavor selection of Chicken, Shrimp, and Beef from the 1980s for its affordable price, quick accessibility, and simple preparation. The creation of Arcas Pamen was developed in Akihabara from those who liked Cup a Noodles from convenience stores in its Japanese varieties of different flavors from the American variety with Instant flavors like: Chicken Ramen, Seafood Ramen, Spicy Ramen, and Curry Ramen that all influenced the end flavors of Arcas Pamen: Bukkake Cream Pamen, Kainui Seafood Pamen, Tomatto Spicy Pamen, and Hanakeipa Shoyu Pamen. In Akihabara, those who followed the cup a noodle had also happened to enjoy a unique type of ramen from a restaurant named Kasugatei Ramen which featured Abura Soba (oil ramen), so many had posted their food pictures online and left their journeys in cyberspace. The pictures had featured Shoyu Abura Soba, Tori-ton Abura Soba, Roasted Tori-ton Abura Soba, Kado-kiri Niku Abura Soba, Spicy Ebi Jyan Abura Soba, and Ton-koku Abura Soba. One click and all the photos uploaded to a social site. Through the mysteries of the internet there were Otaku from the Pacific Northwest who had gotten a hold of the pictures from a search engine that featured the Akibakei Kasugatei Ramen gallery. These Otaku had a great interest in Japan from an interest of Ramen that they had eaten in college and seen in animanga, so it was exciting to see such a strange variation that was never seen before from the soupy ramen that is the typical sight or the tsukemen, so they were quite excited to go and find out where they could get some in the states. But when they tried to see if there was any sort of Ramen like the photos they couldn't find any stores nearby to replicate what they saw, so they went on to make their own variation. It was said that in a game club that enjoyed both Japanese Animanga and Role Playing Games there was a female of unknown identity that was said to have made the first Oil Ramen that was based on a mix of Italian and Japanese cooking, there was a pasta like sauce that was made with the umami of dashi with noodles that were from instant ramen. This dish would be later referred to as Gravy Oil Ramen and eventually renamed as Arcas Pamen. Bukkake Pamen: Cream, Bukkake Oil: Pechorino Romano Cheese, Milk, Cream Cheese, Olive Oil.

A Chili Dog comes from the United States staple the Hot Dog and the mixture of another U.S staple Chili Con Carne. It consists of a bun, hot dog, and a stew like meat sauce on top, but Arcas Chili Dogs are distinctly different. Arcas-style Chili Dog, is a frankfurter that is about 8 inches, its also on a toasted ciabatta hot dog bun which is different from the American Hot Dog Bun, and its topped with mayonnaise sauce, arcade barbeque chili stew, diced raw onion, fresh savory, and a dash of pecorino romano.
The idea for having an interest in Chili Dogs was from its origin from the Sonic the Hedgehog Television series from 1993, DiC Entertainment & Sega Games co, the popularity of the Chili Dog in the franchise was so popular that the Japanese company implemented it in the cannon game series. The game series for Sonic the Hedgehog featured Chili Dogs as Sonic the Hedgehogs food of choice with each of his friends having their own preferences of Chili Dogs. In Arcas culture it is said in the 90’s the roots of chili dog fandom came from to fruitation from the archie comics recipe found in Archie Sonic the Hedgehog Comic issue 1 that gave an idea of what a chili dog was suppose to taste like. The taste for barbeque chili on top of a hot dog was made amongst hardcore fans and counted as video game food, people were intrigued that a game could have even had a recipe attached to it, as fans kept on searching out video game recipes they kept barbeque chili dogs in the back of their minds. From that point, the Chili dog was associated with gamers of western origin to gamers from Japan through a affordable stew that goes with the portable hot dog. As gamers experimented with their own variations of Barbeque Chili that was eaten with the Arcas Hot Dogs. it slowly began to change by the ingredients that were left in the fridge and were tossed in the chili that stewed for a long time. It wasn’t uncommon to freeze bags full of chili for a quick microwave dinner to avoid making it again from scratch, so large portions are usually made when making arcas chili. Easily poured on noodles, easily poured on rice, or as tradition has it to pour the chili on hot dogs that are in a nice bread bun. When the chili is poured on bread or eaten as chili dogs its easy to eat hot dogs while sitting near a computer or television and enjoy a game while having a delicious meal. A few in game variations were: Miles Tails the Twintailed Fox likes Chili Dogs that feature cheese (Prower Chili Cheese Dog), Breezie the Robot Hedgehog likes Chili Dogs prepared by Chef Charlemagne that were a referance to another Sonic Character Overlord Charlesmagne, Eggmanland features a green chili dog called the chili dog (Egg Chili Dog), First Sonic issue by Archie featured a Chili Dog a la (Arcade Barbeque Chili Dog). In Sonic Unleashed there are all kinds of Chili Dogs: like Gyro with Relish, Pig in a Blanket, Exotic Toppings, Sausage Fried Rice, Iced Hotdog, Kebab on a Bun, Ketchup and Mustard, Hard Boiled, Fried Clam Roll. Even if many of them sound out there they were used as inspirations to further Hot Dog sausages that were made by gamers who loved to cook. Variations of Chili eaten in Chili Dogs that are known for their contrast of taste are: Arcade Barbeque Chili Stew, Loveless Shadow Chili, Kupu Cream Chili, and Vector Green Chili. Everyone has their own type of arcas chili that they prefer, so even though its the same meal, people can enjoy many versions of something wonderful. The idea of having multiple versions of chili and marking from western stew with a video game spin makes many people have a distinct idea of when they here Arcas Chili Stew or Arcas Chili Dogs.
