Kevin Neece's defense of spoofing Kosuke Fujishima's marital situation is as follows. Keiichi Morisato is accepted by the OMG internet community as having been based on Fujishima during his college days. As Bad Goddess chronologically takes place twenty years after the end of the manga, Kevin strongly feels that Keiichi and Belldandy's relationship arc should also mimic Fujishima during his later years, including Keiichi settling down from the automotive industry to become a manga illustrator. The main issue with the original Ah My Goddess series is Belldandy and Keiichi are an unrealistic fantasy relationship who don't suffer the problems of real life. In this little way, Bad Goddess is an improvement on the original series as their relationship problems feel jaw-droppingly real because Kevin based them on real people.
