The pachinko game is a takeoff on the multiple Fist Of The Northstar-licensed pachinko games.

The character shown in this screenshot is a parody of Toki, who’s a powerful martial artist, but a committed pacifist and healer in the FotNS story: https://comicvine.gamespot.com/forums/feats-and-analysis-2311599/toki-the-compassionate-north-star-fist-of-the-nort-2332656/

Here’s a vintage pachinko machine, in Tokage’s junk pile
