Frieren's BEST Ever Episode?! - Otakus Anonymous Episode #151

So Daniel, you wanted a boystrip this weekend. A boystrip I was not invited to, mind you. Danny, you know, being Daniel Dimana as he is, has the capacity to invite me to truly whatever he wants, I will scream as much. This is the loudest you've ever been. Yeah, because how often do I post thirst traps while I'm out of your reach, Daniel? Every time I post one. That's in, wait, what? You so frequently follow up my thirst traps with thirst traps of your own. This isn't behavior that I was fully aware of. Please. Dorothy's aware of it too. To hold this information. This is a trend I was unaware of. Dorothy, Sarah and I have all talked about it. How when I post a thirst trap, you will vary within quick succession than post a thirst trap. What is quick succession? Day or two. Day or two? That feels too close. Maybe it's because I spend so much time looking at it and I'm like, I should be shirtless. You know, because I'm like hour six looking at it and I'm like, well, I also have the ability to be shirtless. Yeah. Like they think this is what a man looks like. Yeah. I've dried my balls out and I'm like, it's time to show the world what a real man looks like. Yeah. Covered in anime tattoos. Wait till they get a load of me. Oh, listen, I've been getting plenty of loads of you. So I decided to give him one of mine. Oh, there you go. What is happening? I, there's furniture being delivered to my crack house. But yes, I was on a boys' trip and Nick got so offended that he wasn't invited on this trip. As if I- I just want to be closer to Josh, honestly. It has nothing to do with Danny. I love Josh. I don't see him enough. Yes. If I orchestrated it, I was invited to a ski trip. And also on first off, awful at snowboarding. I've seen it first hand. You weren't that bad. You're not good by any means. I was worse this time. This is a much harder mountain. You haven't been in like three years. That also super doesn't help. Yeah. I was way worse this time. Went to Mammoth Mountain. Yeah. Wicked hard. Yeah. Huge, huge mountain. Gynormo mountain. You also went after a huge snowstorm. Yes. Yeah, we did. But I was invited and the whole time leading up to it, I was like, guys, I will only come on the ski trip if you promise me you- Like no one will hang back and like ski slowly while I tumble down the mountain. Oh, cool. So you got to hang out with the boys, i.e. be terrified on top of a 6,000 foot vertical gain mountain thing. Like, yeah, it says blue square, but I'm not making it down this. Yeah. Well, what sucks about this mountain too is that it's like a choose your own adventure mountain. As most mountains are. That's why they have paths. I don't know. On Big Bear, the lanes I went down are just like, if you started a blue square or at a green circle, it ends as a green circle. There's no like fork in the road kind of situation. There's no fucking quick time events intermittently. First off, you're never snowboarding fast enough for it to be a quick time event, all right? I disagree. I'm going down- You're six falls from every fork you see in the road. I'm going down perfectly horizontal, screaming as I'm in like a full, my full- Adoi pizza! As I'm going down in my iconic question mark spined position. You're just shrimping it. And I'm just shrimping it down and I see like a fork in the road and it's like green circle to the left, black diamond to the right. And I'm like, ah! Yeah, it's like a lollipop and you probably won't make it. Yeah, you're like a lollipop, I guess. I'm like Tina from Bob's Burgers, trying to learn how to drive. Tina the pole, Tina the pole. You got a lot of time. But anyway, and my wrist, I just have an old man wrist now. Where anytime- Years of reverse gripping it. Just, you know- Just take that reverse claw? Yeah, exactly. Dude, sometimes you gotta switch up. Yeah, I have an old man wrist now from boxing. And so just anytime I fall, it just comes crashing down on my wrist. And then falling while you're skiing, if no one's ever been, is like two folds of terrifying. Cause one, there's the fall. There is the fall, yes. Which is scary. And then two, once you finally get out of that like call of duty cut scene, and you're like up and you're looking around, you're like, someone's about to saw me in half at 80 miles an hour. There's a somehow worse skier behind you, just like with no speed control whatsoever. I'm just waiting to turn around and see a ski detached from a man coming javelin' me in the throat. And just like final destination but somehow more expensive. And you're like, god damn it. I've had people who have like been like very injured on the mountain before, sued the people who hit them tons of money. You get, dude ski injuries, it's a whole like platform for lawyers. Dude, there's like literally lawyers dedicated to just ski injuries because occasionally someone would be going 45 miles down a mountain and like with a fucking razor blade, like taped to both of their feet and they just dust somebody and like break both their legs. God. Yeah, I have a friend of mine who got a slipped disc, like permanent back pain from getting absolutely bent over by a snowboarder, like a million dollar settlement. Wow. Yeah. Oh, you can ruin somebody's life on a mountain. Yeah. I bet. And you feel that every second you're going down, I'm like someone's life is gonna get ruined as a result of my activity. You're never going fast enough unless somebody like really hits like, you know what an action movie when like somebody pushes a head through a window and then like rubs their neck on the broken glass, you would have to do that with your snowboard. Well, the fact that I'm going slow also scares me because I'm waiting for like, if I'm going slow around a corner, I'm like someone's gonna zip through and just like bisect me right now. Yeah, that would have been me if I was there. Yeah. But so anyway, yeah, leading up to it, I told all of my friends like, look, the second we get on the mountain, like we'll all do the chair lift together, we'll drive up together, abandoned me. Yeah. I will feel so much worse knowing someone has to stop and turn around every couple of feet. And this is why I was getting a live update text from Danny is he was like, he was telling me like how things were going. He was like alone on the mountain, cold, not having fun, this mountain's too hard. And I know, I know just somewhere Danny's like pulled off his mittens with his clubs as he's sitting next like a school of children who also can't make him down. I was texting you in like a carved out snow bank that I made like by the little lodge because all the seats were taken. I like, I made a little den. I was in a little. You were at the lodge by yourself. I was in a little den. It was like, they have like checkpoint lodges. It wasn't like the base camp one. I went down the scariest run I've ever experienced in my life. And then like carved out a little igloo and was like crushing through audio book chapters. Like Tex Nick being like, come get me their drinkings. They have beers, they wanna go again. Yeah. And then intermittently, my friends would just like skid by and be like, hey, another fireball. And I'm like, uh-huh. You're throwing them at seven year olds that go by. Like it'll warm you up. Oh dude, I, you know my preferred method of drinking these days. As many as many vodka shots as you can possibly get. So you have to spend at least the amount of time actually drinking a thing. Exactly. And I've never thrown up doing a fucking, not Red Bull. Fireball? Oh yeah. Closest I've ever gotten a throwing up. Every time I do a fireball. Fireball on a mountain hits dude. It's like the first hit of meth on it. Like a long weekend. Oh my God. Fireball on the mountain. You're lucky they didn't have Jaeger. I guess. Cause also I mean, we'll just bring bottles of Jaeger like glass bottles with us and just pull, like we're fucking German hunters. It's great. But anyway. God skiing drunk is fun. So I told them, yeah, that is fun. I told them, abandoned me. And then also I was like, I'll probably only ski or snowboard on Friday. And then Saturday I'll get some work done and hang out at the Airbnb. And they were all like, all right, well you better have something nice for us to look at. You little snow bunny when we get back on Saturday. Like they were all like, oh. I understand, yeah. Yeah, you should get a little made outfit, clean up, tidy up for us. Have a little dinner ready. Yeah. So leading into my Instagram post, which everyone's being far too dramatic about. I feel as though I was the equal, I was the standard amount of dramatic. I was the standard amount. I was like, I just know people are gonna ask. No, I'm not there. Right. Yeah, everyone who was like commented about it in video form thinks you caused me to put on the outfit and post the picture. I have been seeing that a lot. And I'm like, this is very clearly a mirror selfie. And also have you guys ever seen me convince Danny to do anything? Like, both of you to assume I could push Danny in any which way direction. But yeah, so I. We have a podcast to put on. And it's this guy right here, stubborn as an ass. I put on a saucy little number. It's a bow tie. And then. And that's it. And a smaller bow tie. It's a bow tie. And then a strap that goes from the bow tie to a little like banana hammock that covers half of my ball sack. Oh, once you get one ball, you get a whole ball in there. That's that's better coverage than I do most of the time. And then to answer the first question everybody on Boyz Trip had. Yes, it's completely assless. It's. Yeah. So you're like, oops, I dropped this. And you're like, that's your fucking asshole. The worst part is they all came back from the trip like one at a time. So it'd be like one dude comes up and I'm like, Oh, hey there, big boy. And then I'm like, you know, he laughs. We do a couple of bits. And then I'm like, it's where's the rest of them? And it's like, oh, they're on their way. And I'm just standing there at the kitchen counter like, snow is good today. As my cheeks are being flossed. By the fucking outfit. He's like, he's like, starts taking off here. He starts taking off like a snow gear. And you're like, it's a little tight actually. I'm gonna, I'll go to the bathroom for a while. Wait for other people to get here. I really wish like there was one like me equivalent on the trip where it was like, oh, hey, this is my friend. This is my roommate. I want to bring him to mammoth. And he's just the first guy in your like, sup bud. Good turns today, my guy. Oh my God. I was like behind that kitchen counter for like a full hour. 98% naked waiting for each of them to come. And then one of them comes in my friend Joe and he's like, oh my God, wait, I got to drive this guy home. Don't change. Leaves for an hour. Leaves for an extra hour. Everyone's watching the phantom menace in the living room. I can't, cause no one wants me to sit down on anything. Incredibly fair. He's just rubbing raw ass cheek on a $3,000 leather couch. I'm just like in the kitchen, like a smoking bartender like popping Oreos and catching up on Freeran. Yeah, there's like, you're too fucking old for this job. Intent to start in a sag. I was like watching Freeran with an air pod in, just being like, one's good this week. That's fucking so funny, dude. That's awesome. He comes back to like, you can get changed. He's like, you fucking listen to me, you're still in it. That's awesome. So yes, everybody loves it. Everybody loved it. I thought it was fantastic. My weekend wasn't nearly as profound. I went out drinking on Friday, because Dorothy wanted to go out drinking on Friday. And then we got home and I went, babe, I want Taco Bell. And then she was like, okay. I was like, I'm gonna go shower. She came up 20 minutes later and I was naked asleep in bed by myself. And she was like, you just put yourself to bed. I was like, I do not remember doing that. Dude, that happened to me after the boxing match, where I got home and I was like, like, kink kust and fucking starting to feel all of the damage that had been wrought upon me. And I was like, I need bir- Ooh. Kitty. A great story like Monsters Inc. stays with you forever. And Disney Class is where you'll find your next great story from the return of the award-winning hit series, Rivals. Welcome to the naughtiest show on television. To the unmissable crime drama, High Potential. Gotta dead body, gotta go. A lifetime of great stories awaits. This spring on Disney Plus, 18 Plus subscription required, T's and C's apply.

Dropping hits every week. Find the new slots. On that vacation tonight. 18 Plus, be gamblerware at all. That's right. Burger King. I need Burger King. There's like, I'll get you Burger King, and then I was laying face down on the bed, and she's like, do you wanna drink? And I was like, yeah. And she was like, what do you want for a drink? And I was like, I failed. I was like, I failed. I was like, I failed. I was like, I failed. I was like, I failed. I was like, I failed. She was like, you're like, so how do you do her? Oh, fuck. Oh, it's great. I was like, I embarrassed myself. Oh, fuck. It's so funny. I like the thing, you're like, Luffy with milk. If you had gotten that Burger King, your injuries just would have gone away. Oh, God. All my muscles would have popped back. Yeah, literally just snap back into place. And she's like, so you don't want Burger King? And I'm like, why are you talking about Burger King? You're sort of fucking throwing a tantrum. I just woke up with like a half eaten whopper in like the pillow next to me. In one hand here, like TikTok at night. Oh, that's so funny.

My cold opening was supposed to before you posted that Thursday's trap was supposed to be our favorite TV shows ended. Our favorite or the greatest anime ever created is coming to an end after three full seasons. What is it? Guess in the chat in three, two, one. Yeah, you guessed right, it's smiling friends. You know what's crazy? Do you remember last week on the pod when you went, man, they gotta make like six more seasons of that? Yes. Literally last week you said that about smiling. And then Zach Hato like, watch the podcast. He was like, can't do it. Can't, you're not getting nine seasons of Pim and fucking Charlie anime. Do you think it's a bit? Cause I don't know. I don't trust, dude, I'm starting to get into like conspiracy theory brain. Because Jim Carrey's not fucking real. Smiling, like BB no money is coming back or is already back. And I'm like, I'm fucking to get, I'm starting to get like internet savvy. But I don't know. Cause like, I feel like all we're burnt out. And it's like, it seems fun. I know. It seems like so much fun. It's the most successful thing you've ever done. It seems like a great time. They got renewed for two seasons. Yeah. For two more seasons. They're making so much goddamn money. Making so much goddamn money. Friends working on a thing together. That seems great. The fact that I'm so close with baby no money's management team also has my conspiracy theory hat on. Because like anytime he pulled that stunt, Xander and I did the like, oh, like come see Danny Mada. Hate Xander Smalls. Like that management team loves lying. Yeah. I was gonna say just lying. I saw you trying to like, how to like creatively rebrand it. No, just lie. Yeah. They love just lying and being like, oh, like I'm leaving music forever. Like when baby no money was leaving music forever. And I was seeing videos of people being like, this is what's wrong with the internet. You bullied him off of it. I was like, oh my God, people think this isn't a marketing. 100%. Yeah. And so now I'm like, I don't know. I think maybe this is marketing, but I can't tell. I hope it is at the end of the day. Cause three seasons isn't enough. And like, yeah, they did already get renewed. It's like, well, fuck it. We just finished your contract or something. You gotta watch ha ha you clowns. That's a good replacement. What is ha ha you clowns? You're gonna hate what it looks like. I'll tell you right now. It's the opposite of men's warehouse. You're gonna hate the way it looks. Oh, is this one with those are well raised boys? That one, yeah. I've seen this and then there's also the the Australian Sasquatch one. Yeah. Which I, I'm like, I hate how all these things look, but at the same time I'm like, fuck I would probably love the humor. And I feel like I'm the most sober person watching them. Danny, let's talk about episode nine of season two of Boku no Hero Academia. Heroes, Ilegalis, I believe is the Japanese name. And if you're wondering why me and Danny aren't talking about anime yet, it's because we're conflicted by anime this week. It's cause we had a real, a real big conflict in terms of, in terms of what we should talk about, what approaches we should take and all that. Are we gonna talk about it? Do we wanna talk about it? We'll talk about it. We have to. We have to talk about it. We literally have to. It's literally our job to talk about it. But all right. I'm not looking forward to it. In our standard anime, like we're doing from worst to best kind of situation here. Our worst is what? Vigilantes? I think you know. I think it's vigilantes because man, oh man. I am not happy to be back with Koichi and Popstaff, dude. I, oh my, my first, my literal first note on this was like, I can't believe the first episode we get back from Izawa's backstory is a Christmas party at the fucking, we have spent more time at the, you would think it was a real department store. Like it was like a pizza hut, funding fucking code chaos. Like I was like, is this a real department store trying to get me to go to try and like visit Popstaff or something because we spent, it's like Macy's Day Parade every fucking day in the show that is in some of the most compelling backstory about beloved characters at MHA and I do not get it. I know it's turned into like an event organization anime. I literally said, I said, every episode, they're organizing some kind of event. Why is the girl fucking click-clacking on her computer? One of the main characters. I don't know. I don't even, I don't remember her name. I don't remember her name because her job is to manage a hero from America, who's barely in the story. Oh, the journalist one. The journalist lady. Yeah, I don't know her name. The stuff with like Captain America or whatever. Captain Celebrity. Captain Celebrity was fine because he's pretty fun, just as a concept and that he's like, gets into actual real world like me too ass scandals, which is crazy. They also take the weirdest approach to it like there's this disgraced American hero who's basically had to leave America because he's like been caught in so many court cases, like objectively fondling women. And then they're like, you wouldn't be like, we got all these cases rebuked. And you're like, is this the point we're trying to make? Yeah, right. Like, they're like, yeah, either bad litigation or honeypots and he's an easy target. And I was like, are we saying he's the victim here? I know it's weird that like, it's so bold of them to have approached that. It is hot in here. It was so bold of them to approach that topic and vigilantes has been like approaching topics that my hero, not like wouldn't, but like where it's like, yeah, they're talking about like Viagra and shit. Like vigilantes will every now and then talk about something so real it almost feels like a fourth wall break. Yes. But they have nothing to say about it. It's like, yeah, it's not like commentary. Or like in when they do do commentary on it, you're like, oh, miss Mark by like 30%. Yeah, it's really vigilantes is such a weird show except when it was last week's episode against a giant frog. Yeah, exactly. Like last week's episode, anytime we're just not with Koichi and Pop Step, I literally feel like an actual like the wind leaves my sails. When I see Koichi, the crawler pop onto the screen, like anybody, but literally anybody else. I know it sucks. Cause that was the actual opposite where I was like, hey, get away from like Izawa and all of these other established heroes. It's vigilantes show me the vigilantes. And now I'm like, now that we're back with the main characters, I'm like, you got nothing for them to do. Now they're still just fighting like the Scar Man just appears occasionally. And he's just like using no moves to try and blow up captain celebrity. It's like, dude, he's going back to America or you do not need to, he's not your number one hero. Like he's not your number one issue. He's literally trying to get back to his kids, kill the vigilantes who, but who minds you, everyone knows about. They're actively working with heroes and everyone's just like, yeah. There's no consequences to being a vigilante. None whatsoever. And he's like, oh, I can't go fast cause I'm not wearing my outfit. Still using his quirk, unregulated, flying through the streets, Pops up, hopping around just like bare face, all illegal. You can't use your quirk if you're not a hero. That's the way it works in MHA. It's so bad. It's not bad, but like also I was baffled, absolutely baffled when like there's the three kids, you know, when they're done doing captain celebrities like Christmas party or whatever. And then they just load three children into the back of a taxi and like miss midnight's or somebody's like, oh, you know, it's your job to get him home now. Yeah, right. Only in fucking Japan could you pull that off. You load three unattended children to the back seat of a taxi and you're like, all right, see you later. Fucking dead, all of them gone. It's like that show, I think it was either China or Japan where it was just like little kids, like actual three year olds getting sent to the grocery store with like a list stapled to their forehead. Literally there was a social media, like there was a social media phenomenon basically in China where they would take, there's like these like kind of like POV cameras where it's like you wear like a, like a magnetic necklace and you just slap the camera on there or they put it like on their hat. And then yeah, they just send them on tasks. They send them go do tasks. And then there's like, oh, do people help them? Are they able to figure it out? Cause they're so young kind of situation and they made a TV show out of it. That's how safe children are in Asia. I think it's called old enough. That's what it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which is also ironically how MHA feels about pop step. I'm getting a call from my fiance one second. Sorry gang dealing with a crack house here. But yeah, so the vigilantes more like hold vigil and I'll plan it for three and a half episodes here. Not bad. Not bad. Not bad. On the spot like that I'm well, listen, I gotta get back into the pocket here. The call interrupted my flow. Yeah, that was episode nine of season two of vigilantes. The episode, is that really what it is? I looked it up. Okay, why? We should start these segments by saying what episode. Okay, that was. This will be very confusing to people watching like a year from now. Hey Danny, let's talk about episode nine of season two of my hero academia, vigilantes. Why are you gonna make fun of me? I was, oh that's for that's for thank you for beginning. All right, fine, all right, fine, good. I'm trying, do you want me to do more authentic? Yeah. Danny, let's talk about episode nine of season two of Boku no Hero Academia. Heroes illegal, I believe is the Japanese name. And then you went with Spanish. Genuinely think there's like the word illegal thrown in there in Japanese somehow. But yes, so that's vigilantes. I don't know, I don't know what you guys want for us to turn to. No, I got like nothing to talk about with it. It was fun, the end was fun. I like that's guard man's going after Captain Celebrity. That was like a fun sequence. I like seeing him save him. The explanation of how his ability works. He's got like an aerodynamic bubble. Yeah. He can share with the people around him, which is basically just like Dojo's infinity. He can just protect himself from the elements of the explosions with a bubble. It's got like a weird like Star Wars-y and shield. I guess she's just flying around with midichlorians, which I guess Jedi do all the time, especially if you're Padman. No, Leia, that's what it is. Oh yeah, she does do that. Everyone loved it when she did it too, dude. Everyone when I saw it in theaters, standing applause. Universally beloved. Oh my God, dude. And then like she flew and then they were like, there was like Cal Castis or whatever his name was. It was like she flies now. It was really good stuff. I mean, I don't know what to quote from. Yeah, they saw Leia scooting across space. I'm like, they fly now. She flies now. Next up after Vigilante's in terms of second worst episode of the week, man, it's definitely not Hell's Paradise. I'll tell you that right now. Stop doing this. What do you mean? Stop spoiling what the best one will be. I just liked Hell's Paradise. I'm going from the bottom to the top of my nose and I'm talking because if you don't talk, I'm gonna keep talking, man. Can you imagine though, if you're watching a WatchMojo Top 10 and it's like top 10 best horror games, number 10, let's see. It's not Silent Hill 2, not yet at least. Not Resident Evil 4. That's probably gonna be number two or one. I think that would limit your list. That is number one. Number 10 is, my little sister can't be this cute. The anime, what the fuck? All right, come back in a week. No, I can't imagine watching one. My little sister can't be that cute. Real anime. Not even a real manga, God and anime. A ton of manga. Dammit, Japan. Yeah, Kaguro Bachi still doesn't have an anime to cook it up. My little sister can't be this cute. I think it got a second season. To be fair, how hard could that be to animate? Just a bunch of people standing around talking. Well, fair, but also you have to find enough people like morally corrupted off to animate it. You know, I'd be like fucking sure. I just got done working on Hentai. I might as well pop into the legal space. I know what they pay animators out there. It has nothing to do with morals, that desperation. I was gonna say, do you think the morally misaligned from society, the anime is the better the pay? Well, that can't be right. Cause they gotta be easier to animate, right? I would assume it's still how hard the physical work is. There is that, but all like, maybe, you know, maybe. No, listen, unfortunately, neither of us know the level of animation of my little sister can't be this cute cause we haven't watched it. Do you want to do motherfucking? I also don't really know. Do we just do Fire Force? I think it's probably sentenced to be a hero. Let's do sentenced to be a hero then. Yeah, that's probably. Okay, let's do sentenced to be a hero. Boy, oh boy, do I not remember what the fuck this episode was about. Oh, that's because it was another harem episode. That's what it was. Not true. No. What are you talking about? Dragging. Why are you trying to make this show weird? Is every hero just doomed? Oh, oh, oh, we got backstories. It was a backstory episode. We got the backstory of Jace and Dota. That's what it was. We got a lot of Jace. Wait, did he see Jace's backstory? I don't think so. It was kind of about Jace though. Because the reason that Dota got turned into a hero, he was sentenced to be a hero if you shall, is because he learned something about how the royal family was treating Jace, which led to his rebellion. No, I thought it was. He was talking about the Crown Prince, which is what Jace was, the Crown Prince. Jace was the prince. Dota and Jace, I think know each other. I don't like what. Yeah, they do. Yeah, haven't read the manga. But like Dota like found something. Dota was like a thief that was in the royal state. And then Jace tried to get him to help. And apparently the royal family was abusing Jace, which is probably why Jace did Jace's rebellion. And Dota found out about it. Well, Jace did Jace's rebellion also because of the dragon. Well, also because everyone was like, You also fucked the dragon. You can't fuck that dragon. He was like, I'm gonna light you on fire, actually. I'm gonna use my dragon girlfriend to kill you. So I think Dota found something out about Jace's backstory and why he was being abused by the royal family. And they did, the higher ups, did the best possible thing. They're like, this guy, he's got incriminating evidence about the royal family. You know what we should do? We could kill him. We could kill, no one would disagree with us killing him. Let's make him immortal. Yeah, let's make him immortal. Let's make him immortal and hold up, hold up. More ideas coming. Superpowers. Yeah. Let's give him superpowers. You know what? Let's give him a job in the military. So he's constantly around all of the secret intel. And then guys, you guys are gonna, you guys are gonna love this one. Let's add Jason there. Let's put him right next to each other so they can talk about what they saw in the royal family. It's flowing to me. Well, at the end of Dota's, maybe I got mixed up. Every time I say Dota, I just think about fucking Dota. Dota too? Yeah. I guess I got mixed up with what was going down because at the end of Dota's little backstory, he's like, I will kill the prince. Doesn't he say that? I don't remember that. I thought he shouts that. Does he say that? This is episode what? I don't know why. Eight probably? No, I said I have a note of two straight episodes of romancing Zylo. This is very much a romance-centric episode. They're building out the love connection between Zylo and the Holy Knight whose name starts with a P. I think I remember. Papusia. I swear I'll kill the prince no matter what. Jack, can you help us? I don't think we know what the fuck, well listen, they may not know what they're talking about either. That's the thing. I thought, I thought the prince set him up and was like, this would be very berserk. Could have been another prince. I thought it was another prince. I thought a prince set him up and again this would be very berserk. Where the prince was like, hey, help me escape. And then they're going through and then they catch Dota because then Dota's like, no, the prince wanted this and they're like, we just talked to the prince. He said, like he's never met you before. Oh. And then so we're like, for whatever reason, the prince set him up. I thought. What's going on? Subtitles say save. Subtitles say I don't save the prince. Which is very different from Kill. What the fuck? Very, very, about as, about as. English, so why did the English say Kill? Well, because, well, so Crunchyroll does AI, like captioning for all of their subtitles. 100% the prince is a prisoner and not Jace. Oh. Subtitles say save. How dare you, Nick? How dare I what? You're being wrong. Oh yeah, I mean, fucking, you guys should be used to that by now. And he's not the driving guy. That's so weird. Let me see. So weird, because he so says Kill. I, so like, this is a actual huge point of contention because to me it seemed like Dota was trying to save the prince. I guess he is, if the subtitles say that. Yeah, I think Dota's trying to save the prince. I'm trying to kill the prince who wouldn't make a whole lot of sense for like him. Dude, they love every, okay, monsters. I swear I'll steal the prince. Okay, so steal the prince means like from the royal family. That's like a save. Yeah, so safe. Okay, okay. Every episode of Sentence to be a Hero loves having a bit where they're like, normally you'd be sentenced to death, but we have something far worse in store. As they slap their two feet together with a belt from behind, they're like, what's that? And they're always like, they're like, fucking, what, what do you mean? It's like, you'll be sentenced to be a hero. You broke. They do it every episode as if it's gonna be a new type of sentence. Every single time I'm surprised they're not like, oh, oh, fucking awesome. Are you kidding me? Like if it was death or hey, you get to be a soldier for the rest of your life, I'll do, I'll outlive this kingdom. You're making me immortal. I will outlive you every judicial system that has set up people being sentenced to be a hero. You're giving me superpowers. Yeah, I'll take that over death every day of the week. I don't know if you don't age though. I think they bring you back when you die is the bit. Yes. So if they just stop doing that, you know. So you think they're getting older? Maybe. Maybe. I think they could. They probably maybe could, I guess. But then, okay, cool. So you just live out the rest of your life as a soldier. They can't die. Also not bad. No, it was substantially better than death. Well, every time you die, you become more insane. Well, I got dude with that. But also have you considered that? Don't die. Fucking. Oh, back up. Oh, back up. Back up, back up. That's me, baby. I'm Zylo Four Bart's, whose last name I remembered for some reason. I hate his last name. Four Bart's is not a four, four farts. Dude, I'm Zylo Four Bart in it. Did you like the big Gatlin gun? Oh, dude. A little, oh, a magical Lewis gun. Just use bullets. At this point, if we're just pumping out electricity, crank powered electricity bullets, just how have we not figured out black powder yet? We have to have it. I was saying no gun powder. There's no gun powder, but we're cranking out. Like, why is the yellow electricity bullets fucking crank powered? Like, once you lock that in, you should just be able to, like, once human contact fires. I guess it's to spin the barrel? No, it's not barrel based. I found that so funny. I was like, I was like, the Gettah Lewis gun, great idea. Fantastic idea. But then it's like, hey, there's a Holy Night captain in there and the guy who just killed a demon plight by himself. Let's send three kids with butter knives. Like, what? Do they think that was gonna fucking work? It's like in every, like, Assassin's Creed game where you have just carved your way through half of Florence. And then they're like, Bill and Christopher, stop him. Go, Bill, you're a little bit bigger than all of the people who just cut in half. Sure, there was 17 of them, but. You have a heavier sword. And it's like, oh, fuck, there's still the letter Y appears above your head when you try to swing a blade at me, Bill. Yeah. No, it was absolutely ridiculous. But they are, they're definitely doing a romance-ing thing here. They're building up a connection between, you know, I really am not remembering a name. Holy Night. The General Woman. The General Woman who's like a sundre and she's like, no, I'm not cute. Yeah. Unless, and then there's the fiance. Oh, I cannot believe you do not find attractive. It's just a very regular looking. Dual blading. Like we're talking like wood elf type beat. Oh my God, that is my vibe. She's cool. If we're talking, if anime is the medium we're talking within, this is the most like, I don't even remember what she looks like now. And this is two episodes in. I think I got on World of Warcraft too early. Like substantially. Like I should have been, I should have been on RuneScape longer. And then I immediately went Alliance because the horror is for yucky weirdos. And then I was like, what's the coolest thing on the side of the Alliance? And it's just right when Night Elves come out and I was like Night Elves. And then I realized if you play a girl character, you can just put her in her underwear. And I was like, hey, and you had like little dance emotes. And I just went to like dance parties at Night Elf houses, dude. You're an RP server. I was literally an RP server. Just use him a high pitch voice, dude. I got into Night Elves real early. So like Elfie girls, big, big for me, bigly. Okay. Yeah, dude. But yeah, so fun episode. I guess we're building out. What are they trying to do right now? What they're trying to, there's a guy in a hotel. The guilds fucking. The adventurers guild are probably the people who pay the adventurers to attack. Yeah, they got ambushed and they're trying to figure out. Teorita. Yeah. And so they're trying to figure out who did it. There's a guy who's got an army of children that'll have knives and no ability to use them whatsoever. And that's what they're trying to do. That was cool that Dota scouted that they have a bunch of child soldiers or a child assassins. And so then, because I was like, oh man, weird that Dota scouting was kind of useless. But then they're like in the hotel and then they hear like a kid knock at the door and they're like, this kid's gonna try and kill us. Yeah. And then they're all like immediately, they're like, you can leave, you can leave. And everyone just pulls out their swords. That was badass. That was rad. I love this show. It's fun. This is like my to be hero acts of the season. I was talking to Wilniff at Pickleball the other day and he was talking to me about Sense to Be Hero. We both came to the conclusion that it's just kind of fantasy slop, but it looks pretty. It's a little more. It's not like I'm invested and excited to see each episode, even if there isn't fighting now. I don't know if that's happened yet, but like it's not like a lucive samurai where when there wasn't- Which is just Edo's slop. Yeah, where they're like, wasn't an episode with great animation. I was like, oh, this is boring as hell. Yeah. This is like, I'm fully invested in like every single character. I'm invested in the world. I'm like intrigued by the lore. The villains just got introduced and they're sick. Like- I'm very happy that we're getting into like true, like lasting villains in Sense to Be Hero. Cause I'm like, I can finally assign a face to evil of this world. That's not a gigantic amorphous blob. Yeah. Yeah. I think it goes a bit beyond slop, but I could see how, I think this is Demon Slayer, where like a lot of people are like, Oh, basic, but does the easy things correctly. Yeah. Cause I've like played JRPGs. I've watched like fantasy. This is not the Suicide Squad anime. Oh no. Fantasy world. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like that fantasy world is the most paint by numbers, like slop ass slop. And this is a world that like anytime I see a backstory, I'm genuinely engaged. And that's actually a really good callback because that was also a show that looked fucking great. Yeah. It looked really good. So goddamn good. It was insane. Like I was like the best looking anime I've ever, like I've maybe ever seen the fight sequences are nuts. Yeah. Yeah. There you go. What's crazy? Well, I always feel bad when I cut you off first off. I've never feel bad when I cut you off. I know. I'm always nervous that I'm talking too much. On this, the podcast of two people. Good. Well, because I got to talk 50%. And if I, sometimes we'll get to it. Sometimes we'll end the podcast. I'm like, I talked 70. That was the fuck you made. You think so? I think you've ever had a podcast where you talk 70. Sometimes we'll get TikToks made and it's like just me talking. And I'm like, I was a dick that day. It's probably just because you're more compelling. You're just, you're better looking. You're smarter. But you put me in a trap here. I can't accept your denial. Bingo, bingo, bingo. That's my trap card, baby. You walked into it. So anyway, I was trying not to interrupt you to say, we have like an outrageous turnout right now. I'm not outrageous. Probably because we don't sound like shit. Probably because we don't sound like shit. But I think it's funny that the title is the boys are black hole sunning it. Instead of something interesting. What is it? Like what, 80 people in there? Yeah, 80 people. It's usually like it's 69. Nice. It's usually six or nine. There you go. I got you. Dude, I miss when six was afraid of seven. Well, but it's been a while since seven, eight, nine. You know, like you were, I still remember. I think probably seven is probably done as life term. You know, it's probably been 25. And like there's only one nine to eat. You know, so like he probably got paroled after like 22, 23 years. And what did you hear that six was afraid of seven? When did I hear that? Yeah. I was probably like, my God, I was eight. Yeah, okay. All right. So yeah, it's about, we're heading towards seven being paroled. Yeah. You know, so that's, you know, and listen, I think seven, he's done a, he's reformed. He found the Muslim faith in prison. You know, he started like, he started leading after prison activities. And you know, like he reached out to nine's family. And at first they wanted nothing to do with him, but he started reinvesting in the community that, you know, nine raised in. And I think that's, I think it's a gorgeous story about seven. This is very progressive of you. Yeah, I know. Well, I just, I just, I guess you're, I guess you're right. The real villain this whole time is five. Cause what the fuck was he doing? Or eight, because like eight kind of just like, he was like a passive, like he was a bystander. He didn't do anything. I think in the lore of this bit, eight can't exist. No, no, no. Or eight jumps nine with seven. Because seven eights nine. Well, that's thing. It's like, I think, I think eight is a number historically used for Nazis. I think that's like 88, 100%. You can look this up. It's a lucky number in the Chinese culture. Eight, eight, yeah, brings faith and luck and all of that. Eight is like eight and sixes are two lucky numbers in China, four bad. But eight is a bad number in Western culture, probably because of what it allowed to be done tonight. You know, I know what they say. All it takes for a bad man to succeed is for good men to do nothing. And that's what I think eight was doing that day. I'm going to go back to talking 70%. Okay. And that was seven eight nine. Spiraled out of my control. Yeah, and that's that's sad to be here, ladies and gentlemen. So that brings us, all right. That I think at this point. I don't want to talk about fire force. I think this is where we have to talk about fire force. This is episode. Let me see. Engage with chat. Get a pulse on how everyone felt about this and how it's fire for the next 30 minutes. Saying this is the best episode of fire force ever made. How are you a few about that? Don't lump me into you. How are we? How are we? How are we feeling about chat? When you see me just drowning in a puddle of my own sweat as we navigate this episode, this episode 20 of season three, where hope is. Where hope is. I disagree. There's a lot of other things in this episode that don't fucking actually that is kind of an appropriate episode title for this. Okay. This is episode 20 of season three of fire force. Also known as the Maki is the symbol of sex episode in season three. Let's take it beat for beat because it opens really cool. Yes, it 100% does. So it doesn't open with Maki at all. We get a IRL like video shot of, I'm assuming the voice actress for the nun, who's one of the pillars, just like just hitting some tight sheet poses. And like talking about like how social media is like the corruption of the universe kind of thing. I was like, I think the creator of fire force has gotten some mean tweets over the last couple of weeks. And he was like, I'm putting two minutes in to tell everybody to go fuck themselves. This whole episode was the fuck you mean tweets episode. 100% Because that's all the Maki shit was. They literally led the episode being with like, you're going to be upset about this episode. I do not care about your opinion. I loved the opening sequence. Having live action in an anime is like. Unsettling. It's unsettling. Yeah. And it like. And it was even unsettling because it started the episode. And I was like, this isn't what it should look like. Yeah. It almost tricked me into being like, this is really good animation. Like I didn't think it was animated. Obviously it's a clearly live action, but like it's so different and so weird. I was like, oh, this is like, this is groundbreaking art. You know, I had a real rotoscope moment where I was like, why is this fucking 80 yard? And then it took me 35 seconds to come to the realization. Oh, it's dubbed. Cause I just never watched dubbed live action content. I always get a do, I do subtitles. And I was like, why are her lips thought now? I was like, what is it? Is it trying to make me uncomfortable? I was like, oh, that's a Japanese woman. It's not unwatchable dub either though. Because the close it won't know. It's close is for dub. No. Okay, fine. The thing is that it's like meant to be unsettling and ominous. And so the lips not matching the words adds to that. That's why I thought it was intentional. Yeah. I was like, oh, this is unsettling to watch. Yeah, exactly. Not close, but that's like a good thing. I think. Yes. And boy, oh boy is that kind of like the entire precipice of this episode where it's like, yikes, but also is that what they were trying to do? Yeah. Interesting use of the word precipice. Why? What's wrong with precipice? I just don't think that's how. The entire point of this episode? Yeah. Precipice kind of works there. What's precipice mean? Like the precipice, it's like a plan. It's like a cinnamon for plan. For what? For plan. No. Precipice, when you're at the precipice of something, it's like the, like. Oh, the beginning? Yeah, like the beginning or something. So the cinnamon, cinnamon, it's a, it's a synonym for inception. Is that what we're saying here? I don't know anymore. You guys want to do six, seven, eight, nine again, guys? I got, I got 20 more minutes on who's, on who's responsible for nine's death. Like, I'll do this all fucking day. Don't make me talk about monkey, please. Oh, fucking. Yeah, that's the cinnamon of the episode, I guess. But. Oh, speaking of inception, fucking dreams within dreams here, baby. Fucking, yeah. So I thought all of that live action stuff was cool. And then we, we get to Maki and we get to assault comes back. Assault comes back kind of. Assault's an awesome name. Unless your rival is like a 16 year old girl who's constantly losing her clothes. Unless your, yeah, your weakness is literally 17 year old ass intense. Then it's not that sick of an name. Unfortunately. And then like, he's like, cause like his clear, like his clear opponent should obviously be juggernaut. Cause like they both make like giant fire missiles. And then juggernaut just refuses to be relevant in any battle against assault. And that's the issue. And then juggernaut still refuses to be relevant in this fight, even though he's like one of the beloved characters of the franchise. And the only person who can fight against assault is throbbing missile assault. To catch that, to catch all of his attacks were throbbing. To catch all the veins that the missile had. Listen, and that's the thing is like missiles are inherently phallic. And it's like, that's like, you can have a conversation about like, oh men run like all these governments and they want the bigger missiles because missiles are like an analogy for their, their penises. And that's why they want the biggest hardest, longest metal missiles and why they put them on parades and shit like that. But to get into the meat of this episode, people are upset and boil boy, not for bad reason. Are they? Have you, who, what people? I've seen people online being like, this is why I don't watch Fire Force. Got you. I was wondering if you were just extrapolating the one text we got from our editor, Stank, being like, skip this episode. Stank says, you go ahead and skip this episode. And then you said something about being a recap episode or something. Well, I was like, why is it a recap episode? And then Stank was like, no, it's just Mocky being lettered for 30 minutes, which it's one, it's not. No. It doesn't really happen until like the end, like the latter half. But yeah, I was just wondering if you were like, a lot of people, including myself, will sometimes fall into a trap of like, I'll see one mean comment somewhere about something. I'll be like, everyone hates this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The anime and the universe is falling apart here. But now like one person, basically was like, this is why I don't, like, I think they saw a lot of the clips and like, this is why I don't watch Fire Force. And then everyone was like, yeah, this is why I don't watch Fire Force. And like, when any of these situations come up, I cannot blame anyone who saw this episode of Fire Force. And I was like, yeah, good. I'm good on that. Cause like, boy, oh boy, can I understand that being said. Like, was this the right way to go about it? There is an interesting conversational point to be brought from this episode. And I'm not saying they packed it the right way because there is like, you can see that they're like, so close to trying to get something where it's like, we're trying to be like, oh, sexual liberty. There's like sexual repression. And this is the entire point of Sonda, right? It was like, oh, like these like, these sexual urges are like being repressed kind of thing. Like we're not allowing children to express themselves. And like, this is conversation happening between assault and assault stopper ganger and Tmaki where they're like, desire is hope. And I was like, oh, that's profound. Like if I can, like, you're like, oh, desire, like a desire for something, whether it be sexual or like a better life is hope that you can make it to the next day. And it's like, okay, so like by like suppressing all of your sexuality and tucking it away, you're saying, listen, I can never achieve the things I want to because I've already consigned myself to not doing it. That is a good message. Did it need to be packaged with fucking a fan service of a 17 year old? No, no, it didn't. It's also like, I can't, I told you before the podcast started, I was like, this is my new attack on Titan. Yes. Where I was in so many like loop-de-loop logic roundabouts where I kept being like, oh, that's a little progressive. Oh no, don't say that. Oh, that's a little progressive. Oh, what are you doing? Now by the end of it, I'm like, I don't know what the fuck you're even saying anymore. It's like that with attack on Titan. We're like, it's so fucking convoluted in its messaging that I'm like, I can't tell if you hate Jewish people. I can't tell if this is pro-fascism or like a fucking like a real story trying to talk about the horrors of war and how genocide is never the option. I was like, dude, I was like, hey, do you want Aaron to squish people? Was that the only, is that truly the only choice he had? But a fucking, yeah, with this, it just comes off as like, such a Reddit argument is my issue. Like, I hate the medium they use, or like the straw man they use, which is like the mother. Because it's making this weird argument of like, oh, women hate, like, you know, it's making this weird argument that like, women are just jealous, like more modest women who don't have like supermodel bodies are jealous over these younger girls who are dressing like half naked and stuff on social media. Interesting, okay, yeah. And that's like a weird, misogynistic route to go in, where it's like, yeah, obviously there's like, every single emotion has been felt by somebody, right? 100%. Like, it's unrealistic to be like, that just doesn't happen. Everything happens. But using it as the way to build your argument is a little weird. Using it as like the main thing to attack is like, why is this the message we're going with? Instead of like the fact that men are constantly like objectifying women who are like half naked, or like, you know, telling women that like, giving women death threats for having like only fans and stuff like that, like, that's the real issue, is that like most of the shame towards women with like only fans or women who like dress like promiscuously, comes from men. 100%. And so it's weird. Comes from men who, mind you, wanna fuck them. Like, yeah, they were given the opportunity, they 100% won. Yeah, and so it's weird to be like, our whole stance is gonna come from like, this angry mom scientist, you know? Interesting. I thought, and that's like another thing where they're like, oh, we're trying to be profound here. Like, and this was like, once again, one of those weird things where I'm like, we're doing something cool at the same time as like doing something egregiously wrong. Where I was like, oh, they're doing like a fourth wall breaker, is like, I introduced myself to that fire soldier. I have a name and everyone's forgetting this woman's name. Like, you're like falling into this mob mentality kind of thing. And then they have this conversation, and he's like, oh, but you're like a head researcher at Hygiumma. Like, is it so bad for her to be like half naked because like she worked harder on her body kind of thing? Like, oh, like, would you want somebody to take your job because they're stupider than you? Like, and it's like this weird talk of like, and he's like, yeah, like sure, you can be born pretty, but you can also be born like smarter than somebody. And like, look at her body. Like, clearly she worked on that, she's allowed to show it off. She's proud of it kind of thing. And I'm like, once again, oh, we're getting there, but like, you're right, we're using this like, we're using this like older woman as like your jealous and also like, you know, who's, you know, who's hot and in right now, 17 year olds. Yeah, well, it's also like, because I agree with the messaging of like, yeah, there shouldn't be shame in people like showing off their bodies or being proud. Or being proud of like the hard work they put into their body or whatever. Just anyone being proud of any like body type. But the show hasn't done any of that leading up to this. Like that's the other issue is that all of this messaging is coming out of nowhere from a character. That's not Maki's character. Like Maki isn't dressing like, what? Because it's not- Permiscuously. Permiscuously, I guess. Like she's not dressing permiscuously to make this statement. No, it's against her will every single time. It'd be like, it'd make more sense for like Nami or someone to make that argument where it's like, she's usually just in like pants and like a bikini top. And if someone was like, or if Sanji was constantly like harassing her and then someone was like, hey, why don't you dress more conservatively? So Sanji fucking stops. And it's like, then Nami being like, first off, it's not my issue to like- To fucking deal with Sanji. Yeah, like being mad at Sanji, his behavior is what's wack. Also, I like my body and I wanna show it off. But yeah, Maki seemingly hates that her clothes are always flying off. 100%. Something she's not in control of that only ever happens when she's like around men and she's just like casually falling onto their faces in her bikini. Yeah, so it really feels like this messaging comes out of nowhere and is like- Like the Mongaka got really angry if you'll be upset about Maki's character one episode. It's like, you guys don't get it. Yeah, it's like wholly reactionary. It makes more sense for like Blair from Soul Eater, right? Like who is also a pedophile though. Yeah, 100%. Not a character. That's the thing is it's like, I also just don't believe this Mongaka to have like good views on this. The moral compass to figure out like these complicated like societal issues. No, and I think like a really good example of like a character who is like sexualized, but also like their sexualization makes sense in modern anime is Yuzuriha in Hell's Paradise, right? Because Yuzuriha as like a Konohichi from like that era, like her number one weapon was sex. Yeah. Right, and like that was like, it's like, oh cool, like I have the ability to like make myself invisible, but at the same time, like a big job, like part of my job is making people fall in love with me and then taking them at their worst. And so it's like, oh, Yuzuriha and her sexual nature is never called out as fan service because it's like, oh, this like is in line with who this character should and would be. Yeah, well, yeah, it's got like historical basis and she's a good character. And it doesn't come out of nowhere. And it's also like Yuzuriha's of age. I think this is the number one complaint everyone has with Miss Midnight. Cause like, oh, Miss Midnight's kind of like the same thing where it's like, oh, but like she's just a woman taking charge of her sexuality. And you're like, of course, love that. Love that. In a school. In a school full of children that she fucking teaches. As if there is a time and a place to take control of your sexuality and be homeroom at 9 a.m. is not fucking it. I know, well, it's also, and if I can segue into my news real quick. Oh, good. Yes. Because, and I'll bring in the article, because that's my thing about like, this is a weird package to package this messaging in and being like, oh, it's jealous women, you know, like being jealous towards younger, more promiscuously dressed women. Let me bring it up. The big fucking manga news going around. Big manga news. Big manga news. Fuck, I got. Outside of people don't really like Majulo all that much anymore. No, I just, it's Gege being Gege. Oh man. Okay. The headline, this from Polygon, but like everyone's talking about, I'm only doing the Polygon article because it's easier to translate over podcast. Gotcha. Big manga artists pull their works from major publisher after sexual abuse scandal. A mangaka arrested for sexual, oh, that's the sub headline. Okay. Over the past weekend, details emerged of a serious scandal that is rocking the manga world. Leading to major authors removing their works from manga one, the digital reading app of publisher. Shueisha. Shogakukan. Wait, but manga one. Manga one. Interesting. I thought that, well, the manga plus is Shueisha's. Yes. Manga one. I think manga one sucks. One of them sucks just to use. Manga plus isn't great if we're being entirely real. It's like the high dive of reading manga. Yeah. It has been revealed that the publishing house, one of the biggest in Japan, rehired an author who had been arrested in 2020 for sexual assault of an underage girl under a false name to work on a new manga. So basically what happened was manga one, and there's a lot of conspiracy going on. No one knows fully how much manga one was involved in stuff. But in 2020, this mangaka who did Shoeichi Yamamoto, the author of Dakuten Sakusen, he was arrested in 2020. I also never heard of it. Okay, good. He was arrested in 2020. He was sexually abusing a 15 year old for like a long time. And then he had to like pay a fine and do all this. Pay up. He paid a fine. You say pay a fine? Submitting to repeated sexual abuse over the course of years, while Mamamoto was teaching art part time at the girl's school. February 26th, 2026, he was convicted in order to pay 11 million yen, $70,000 in damages to the victim. So he paid a fine for repeated abuse of one of his students. $70,000. $70,000. Not a ton of money. I listen, $70,000, I understand, is a lot of money to a lot of people. Years of sexual abuse. And she got your average dual income household of pay from a famous mangaka. Yeah. So that happened. And listen, two seconds. Two seconds. For all of you people out there, listen, I understand that we run a podcast, talking about anime and manga. We love a lot of Japanese productions and a lot of things about Japanese culture. For all of those of you who fetishize Japan as a country, it's reasons like this that I'm not like, oh, Japan, Japan's the best place to ever happen. This kind of shit happens a lot. Like a lot, like a lot. Like there is so much leniency for those. And listen, we're having a time with it right now in our country as well. Really hard to throw stones from America. Yeah, we're not doing great at it. We're not doing great at it if we're being entirely real. There was so much leniency for people convicted of not only abuse of minor, but also like possession of like CP and things like that. Like the mangaka of Rony Kenshin, it was found with two terabytes of CP and also just had to pay a fine and also whose anime got picked back up after this news came out. So just be objective about the places that you like fetishize, because there's an underbelly to a lot of them. And in Japan, it's actually quite bad. Yeah, just hate most countries. Hate most countries. Yeah, most governments are bad. But so anyway. Not Ireland. Ireland's good. Ireland is the one country that's cool. Everywhere else has fucking cell tents and closet. Ireland is the objectively most based country on earth. I can't weigh in. I know nothing about any country. On that hill, I think Ireland's the greatest country on earth. Fuckin... Well, even Ireland didn't think Ireland was accurate. They've had like a bunch of civil wars, haven't they? I fucking... He knows nothing about the troubles. Do not... All right, not civil wars, wars against Britain. But yes. Okay. Good. Continue. What's it called? So anyway, kind of similarly to the Rony Kenshin guy. Yes. Yeah, this guy had to pay a fine. He was kicked off of... His manga was canceled, kicked out of Manga One. And then Manga One allowed him to come back under a pseudonym. Like a different name. Because they know they were doing the wrong thing. To start a different manga. And people just found out about that. And now a bunch of manga publishers. I think one is one of them. Yes. Who fucking... Or manga... Yeah, authors. Manga-kas. Yes. One who makes One Punch Man. And Mob Psycho. And Mob Psycho. He's like, spoken out against this. And this article specifically is... When I looked it up, I looked up Manga One. I saw that the author of Ronma One Half and Freerun had pulled out. Both of whom? Women. That's where I was going with this. Is that the... I believe Manga-ka of Freerun has pulled their works. After news emerged, several manga authors spoke out publicly to criticize Shogakukan. Including one. Many authors who have their works available in Manga One Half. One is a man, by the way. Decided to have them removed. Including Inuyasha's. That's already said that. Okay. Inuyasha is also a woman. Rumi-ko Takahashi, who did Ronma One Half in Inuyasha. Kahito Yamada. So yeah, Freerun. Yep. So that's three women. And Ryuhei Tamura. Cosmos. I don't know that one, but that sounds like a female name. So anyway, that's the big news right now. And that's also why it just feels like awful timing to be doing an episode. Obviously, like it's scheduled. But I just couldn't stop thinking about that news break while watching this Fire Force episode. That is like, hey, get over minors being sexualized in anime. But also, it's so funny because we're so close. Right? We're like, oh, good message. Wrong pack. There is of age women in this show you could have used to make this point and you chose a 17 year old. Yeah, it is very similar to Sanda, like you were saying. In terms of messaging where it's like, I do agree that like sexual repression, any repression just doesn't really make sense because it'll just like cause pressure and then it'll come out in some like dangerous way. Yes. But yeah, this is no Sanda. No. So the thing is like Sanda doesn't send that message through the sexualization of their character. There's like, they're talking about like relationships and hormones and like growing in, like going through things like puberty. Like how terrifying puberty can be. And the fact that like in Japan, they don't talk about the changes brought about their puberty because of the repression and fear towards sexuality. And that's the message they're trying to land here, just like, but like also being like, oh, tits and outs are great, especially when they're young and perky. And it's like that's fucking not what we're looking for at all actually. Flight was cool. Flight was very, flight was very cool. Love a throbbing missile. Why not? Big throbbing missile. Oh, the other thing I brought this up earlier. Leached. Leaked. Leaked. Yeah, why? Victor leaked. It's just cracking my ass up. Oh yeah. Cause he was like, so the mom mentality thing was cool. Where because no one remembered who she was, she got fucking erased from the story. And he goes, if you're watching in dub. Yeah, he's like, it's like, yeah, that's right. I guess I don't really know anything about you. And then she disappears and then he goes, she vanished. What? Is it my name's leaked? My name's leaked. My name's leaked. Like, was really horrified about it. It was really funny. Anyway, it was a very good dub. Yeah, it's just one of those episodes where it's like, I don't know, you can see the attempt being made, but you're like, fuck, did you miss the point? So it's like, cause it's like, man, do you have like, like it's so crazy. Cause you know, they think they're doing something profound, but they're just like not seeing the own, the own faults. No, it does. It comes off angstier than it is. Like I've had this intention since the beginning. But the worst part is the outrage may have been of exactly what they were looking for, right? Because they open up the, they open up the episode being like, oh, the fucking like those who, those who send mean tweets to this handle specifically on Twitter are all getting eradicated in the great cataclysm. And then they're like, and then they obviously do this episode where it's like basically talking about the outrage towards the sexualization of this character in this show. Right? Thinly veiled talking about how people dislike that Maki is sexualized. And then they do it in the most outrageous sense. Like Maki basically retakes control over sexuality, drops a close, and that is the thing. Like it's like the episode that she takes her own clothes off, it's no longer an accident. She's retaking control over sexuality. That is going to farm. It already has farmed a ton of outrage. And at the same time, you know, the Monkaka is like, is like smiling, kicking his boots up on the desk. I'm like, ha ha. He doesn't give a shit. He's tipping his like his fedora forward. He's like, take that little libtards. You know, it's like, that's exactly what's going on here. He's also done. Like he's not going to make another Maki. He's made so much money. He's made so much goddamn money. He's already like so retired it hurts. Yeah, I've heard he's not doing another. Um, I liked it. What like, yeah, again, I was in a constant state of like, cautiously enjoying the episode because I was so confused by like the messaging. Yeah. Um, but yeah, everyone taking their clothes off in support of Maki, I guess like, if you're going to arc out this character, this is a good way to do it. I also thought I was like, fuck that. I was like, God damn it. That kind of works. Yeah. It's like, if you, if I have to endure this character. Yes. And this is the conclusion of the show. This is the best way to do it. Because then that brings us back to that hope, like desire is hope thing. And they're trying to make everybody in Japan hopeful. And so like, oh, by like capitalizing on like one of the things that like keeps us going in life is like the desire for love and the desire for sexual intercourse is like, fuck. That makes sense for what they're trying to do right now. Like it is objectively okay writing. It's just the packaging is bad. Yeah. That's a thing. So yeah, I don't know. Fucking yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Like I said, if you fucking, if you drop Fire Force because that episode neither me nor Danny could ever hold that against you. I think it's ridiculous. In the same way it's ridiculous to be like, oh, you're an idiot for finding freer and boring. I think it's ridiculous to be like, you're an idiot for dropping Fire Force because of its fan. Yeah. Like I've never so reasonable. 100%. Like anytime like I we are objective viewers of media, we can like look at a thing and be like, oh, yeah, no, this is this could make people not want. I wouldn't show my friends Fire Force. Yeah, it sucks because if Tomiki wasn't in it, I'd it'd be the first anime. Oh, we've been saying Maki all this time. It is Tomiki. I haven't. I've been saying Maki. Maki is a very different character. Maki is the fucking buff one generation to which they know. They know. But they don't know is you're not dumb. Yeah, that's fair. Um, what's next? Hey, I can't even begin to imagine what your number one will be. I don't know, though, actually, we the top three are pretty. They're all very close. The top three are three very fucking good episodes of anime. Next one's JJK. You squandered just so hard. Here's the thing. Compare it. We're having a week while. Compare it. I don't know. Danny Mada got a job acting as Higuruma. Compare it. It's because it's like. Maybe the second worst JJK episode of the season. Oh, do you tell season three? Oh, do you? Oh, do you tell? Good, sir. What episode are we talking about, Daniel? Oh, the one with Higuruma. The one with Higuruma. Yes. I'm correct. I'm aware. I'm that's why I said you were. Let's see. Jujutsu Kaisen. I liked it a lot. Great episode. Every episode of JJK has been great. This has been a great season. I even like the Ted talk. There's not enough people. There's not enough people glazing JJK and everyone is glazing JJK. Like there needs to be more. Every episode feels like a movie. Dude, I saw an event. I saw how they were storyboarding all the shots. Like they had like it was like notes on why they were doing certain things. I was like, oh, they're they're fucking directing this. Yeah, like this is not an adaptation. Well, yeah, I'm aware. I'm aware that it's always being directed, but like they're doing like storyboarding shots and how they're going to set up things. And like a lot of anime are just like, oh, we need to get like some animation between these two panels. Right. Yeah. That kind of thing. They're like objectively telling the story in a different way than the manga, but like also telling the story in the manga. Yeah. Have you seen some controversy with Higuruma? That turned out to be idiocy. I were they changed the angle of him doing this, but it turns out no, they didn't. No, they didn't. It's a different scene. 100 percent. Yes. It's just people who like there is a the ongoing joke in the fucking JJK fandom that the JJK fans can't read and it's only getting worse with Majulo. It's getting all it's getting so bad with Majulo right now. And so, yeah, everyone was like, oh, they changed it. No, they didn't. This is episode 55 Tokyo Colony number one, part two. Yes. I don't know what episode because I loved episode one. Yes. Maybe episode two because they released one and two together. So it feels like it's one episode. Is too many fights, Utah, though. I think two is Utah versus Eugene Chozo versus now, yeah, because that's pretty good. Yeah, that's pretty great. And then three is the Zennin assassination. The Ted talk. Yes. Oh, three is the Ted talk, which is like the worst episode by proxy of being the Ted talk. Exactly. Which I enjoyed. Yes. Four is the Zennin massacre, which is the best episode of the season. No, maybe I disliked this is the third worst episode because the first episode of the Tokyo Colony when Yuji is fighting against umbrella like pan the propeller head. Oh, you're talking about when they go to find a car. I think when he goes to fight a car, he's probably the second worst episode because that's the episode where Panda, but is that the episode where he fights a car or does that happen in the next episode after that? Next one when he's getting the shit beat out of him in the megamese fighting against Kira. Yes, that's a fun episode. That's episode five. So episode four of this. No, episode five of the season. Yuji fights Panda, which is like Megamy pops up in a guy's shadow episode. But that was sick. That was sick. I liked this week's episode. Yes. We're just trying to rank it. Where are you trying to figure out what's the like in a sea of incredible episodes? Where does this episode lie? Megamy going fucking splinter cell on a dude was really hard. Then Yuji fights Panda and I thought it was just OK. It's fine. Um, people really stand Panda. I'm not there on Panda necessarily. Panda's fun. Um, and then at the end he meets Higurumi and he gets fucking trained, Dord into oblivion. Hikari. Hikari. And then after that is maybe my favorite episode of the season where Megamy fights Kira. Yes. And that's awesome. And just all of the memes that came out of that were also incredible because everyone was like, this is like, that's not even her ability. Trans people can just do that. There was a bunch of great. And they also added so much to that fight. Like it's very different from the manga. Like Megamy gets crushed by her. It's awesome. Yeah, by her ability, but he actually jumps into a car or the anime. Kira doesn't do her fucking mistborn ass coin clip in the manga. So much fun. And then the next episode, which is last week's episode, was a propeller head one. That's the second worst episode of the season. I like dates. He fights a guy with a propeller. He fights a guy for 100%. 100%. And once again, sea of good episodes. Yeah. I would say it goes Ted talk, propeller head, Panda versus UG episode. This episode, Kira versus Megamy episode. Fucking. Oh, but the first episode is also not that great. It's really great. You're wrong. Are you right? That is the Chozo versus that. Folded like a fucking. You're right. That's the way there's like the whole red room. And he's sitting on the staircase. Look, we'll do it all at the end of the season. We should do it all. But I agree with your like low tier ranking, where it's like, you know, Ted talk and then whatever you said, this is technically the fourth worst. Yes. The Higuruma introduction episode. What the fuck is this? A good episode. Good. It's cool. So much fun. It opens with the craziest statistic I've seen in my life, which was 99.9% of trials and in a guilty verdict in Japan. Is that real? Yeah. Holy fuck. I ask. I mean, according to Stank, it's real. I asked the group chat and then Stank was like, yeah, that's real. They're murder convict. They're murder. Like, yes, like if it goes to trial, it's usually a guilty. But they're like in terms of like how effective their police are, their murder solverate is dumb low. Really? Their murder solverate is insanely low. I can't believe every anime isn't about this statistic. About like, yeah, about like it being impossible to work through a trial. Yeah, I can't believe every anime isn't about detectives being or detectives and public defenders being like, this is an actual impossible job. Yes. Let me see. Yeah, why is the conviction rate so high? Conviction rate in Japan exceed 99%. That's crazy. That's crazy. But yeah, it opens with that. But it's real quick. It like flashes it at you. I don't even remember that. I was like, that's the craziest fucking statistic I've ever seen in my life. If you're on trial in Japan, fucking get used to sitting in some bars. Yeah. This was good. Higurumi is just fucking cool. And the tone of this episode. Dark. Fucked. Yeah. I love. You literally just see a guy being like, and he has like optimism. He's like, we have to take these tough trials because like somebody needs to defend these people. And then they're like, yeah, but it's a lost cause. Like giving in, he's talking about like how justice is blind and how he's able to get off this like one kid who is like trying to do the right thing. But he's like being taken advantage of by the system, which is like a real thing in Japan where it's like you're given a place to live. But like you would give the pay the company that you work for to live there. And it's like the lower class of Japan is like in like almost like indentured servitude. And he's like trying to like drag this kid who's exploited to hang in front of out of the depths of poverty in this problem here in society wants him to like go down for this murder of a mother kind of situation. And you just see it fucking weighing on Higurumi and snaps. And the domain expansion deadly send to. Oh, it's been a minute since we got a domain expansion. Oh, I love his domain expansion. Oh, I'm so excited for you to learn about it next episode. It's going to be great. This is the first technical episode without the season two and season three director. Yeah, not bad. Still great. I also heard if you could if we could take a second for me to research something I should have already researched. The amount of evidence needed to go to trial is so high that the prosecution is already able to nearly 100% certain that you are guilty. Also the police torture confessions for people. Crazy. I read a TikTok comment that said, even if somebody is found innocent, you can appeal. And they're like, never mind. Throw you a job is literally what happens with Higurumi. So, all right, never mind. I'm ready. OK, y'all should watch Phoenix, right? Ace attorney. Ace attorney. Phoenix, right. Well, we're playing the games. Yeah, they should make games off that. They should make games off the ace attorney. Yeah, anime. I wake up in a cold sweat every night ever since you told me fate is based off of video games. Based off of a fucking hentai video game. It was my fucking rotoscope moment. Yeah, it was a dating. It was a dating game. Let's go. Yeah, three like fate, stay a night, unlimited blade works and Heaven's Feel are the three ways you can end the dating game. It's all dependent on what woman you romance. Crazy. Yeah, yeah, it is fun. Fucking. Yeah, dude, the build up for Higurumi was so. Huh? Higuruma. Higuruma. The build up for Higuruma was impeccable. Like by the time Yuji gets to him, he's in a fucking boss arena. Actually for he activates his actual canonical boss arena. Literally just like first off in a tub that is in explicitly. How did he feel it? There is no hose to be found. How did he get it there? I got a maybe deadly sendencing. You got to assume it had something to do with the hammer. Got a full claw foot porcelain tub in the middle of like a movie. You got all the stage lights on. He knows how does he know to turn those on? Oh, yeah. What is a fucking lighting technician? Electricity. He's just a lounging soak in himself. Oh, yeah. Soaking himself so hard. He almost convinced me that it might be nice to just get all the days. Stink off you. People do it. I fully clothed. I couldn't. That's what I'm talking about. I make me deeply uncomfortable. He's like, have you ever bathed fully clothed? It's pretty nice. And I'm like, that suits fucked. Yeah. Oh, you're not. That's going straight to the dry cleaner. Once you're done, mop in the floor with 30 more sorcerers. But yeah, it's just lounging in this tub and maybe it's a lighting. Maybe the tub's full of blood. Who knows? Mm hmm. And then, yeah, and you just like, hey, help me end this calling game. And he's like, hey, you ever killed a guy because it's sick. And like you see him being like, if it goes to the system, they might get away with it. If I kill him, don't have to deal with it, which is like basically the Punisher's entire gambit. It's just it was really cool. I'm just so excited. That's why though, it's like this is a setup episode for this guy. And it's a good room is a very important character. Yeah. Yeah. I'm just letting you know. OK. Very, very important character. I love it. I know. I got the well, anyway. But yeah, this was like a setup episode for this guy. And it was a good setup episode. And I really enjoyed it. This season is just like it's like when we talked about what season eight of my hero and I was like blank episode is the worst of this season. Unfortunately, every other episode is a 10 out of 10. You know, it's like if this happens to be a 9.2 episode, that means it's by decree somehow worse than the other masterpiece episodes. I'm so excited for this guy. I adore Higuruma. I also said, did you catch how much rotoscoping there was in this episode? Like all of the background characters, whenever they took the faces off background characters and you saw them moving at like low frame rates, it looks like rotoscoping to me. I didn't notice. There was actually like a lot of like like all the background characters in this episode are rotoscoped. I also love that Higuruma's backstory felt like an NYC sitcom. Like he's like like like like schlepping work on do like his assistant's desk. And she's like, we can't take this case boss. And I was like, oh, yeah, I was like, I know where it's going, but yeah, I was happy for like three seconds. It was great. Deadly Sends reveal. Oh, and then I said, what do you think the goal? Because this is what they talk about. Big point of this episode here is like, oh, why did Ken Jaku start the Culling Games? What do you think the goal of the Culling Games is? Well, we're not supposed to know it. At one point, Megumi is like, no, the guy Megumi talks to. We also covered in paper. Reggie star. It's like I just wrote, hold on, Megumi. This guy looks like he knows how to party. Yeah. Boy, oh boy, does Reggie star know how to party. That dude rules. He's awesome. His ability. So fucking funny. I cannot wait for you to see it. That guy's sick. But he either here, Megumi posed the idea that Ken Jaku is just like siphoning energy like 10. Yeah. Essentially. Oh, wow. From Hell's Paradise. Topical. Topical callback. Siphoning energy. So it's basically like a big battery, you know, and he's just sucking it out of all the sorcerers. Yeah. But either Megumi or Reggie then reasons that that doesn't make sense because it wouldn't make sense for it to be a death game. Like he would want all of the sorcerers alive. Yeah. Alive so they could keep sapping them. I don't know. Don't ask me what I think is happening in JJK. I'm better now. I'm better at it. You are, but much better at it. I'm not good. The fact that you would answer the question at all is actually very impressive. I'm not going to predicting anything that isn't like immediate. It's widowy. My job. Yeah. I'm not going to like people are always like, what's your theory for fucking like people will be like, what are your theories for season three of Hasman Hotel? And I'm like, genuinely, I couldn't even begin to have one. You're not going to believe this. Still going to be in hell. Yeah. Probably have something to do with accommodations, lodging even. I've just never been good at like that end game level. Like grand scale prediction. Yeah. I'm good at like accidentally stumbling into something because I'll be like, wouldn't it be funny and dumb if this happened? And then it'll happen. And I'm like, oh, maybe they're not that good at writing. I was going to say, I can't believe it's probably because there's a bunch of people like you in the writer's room. We were like, wouldn't it be funny if X happened? But yeah, great episode. Just so much fun. So much fun. And then that brings us to. Six or seven. I'm going to say hell's paradise. Because I know how you feel about free. I'll give it to you. I'll give you hell's paradise. You'll give me hell's paradise. Yeah. These are like this is neck and neck, though. They these are two great episodes. I'll just say because we're on the topic of it. I think what propels the freerun episode for me is the fact that it's like the best episode of freerun ever. Yes. OK. 100 percent. I understand. I know where you're specifically coming from because I know how when passions you feel about this episode of freerun, I thought this was also a fantastic episode of freerun. And to me, a fantastic episode of freerun will always be better than a fantastic episode of hell's paradise. That's so fair. And I feel that so much. I don't know what it is about hell's paradise, but no matter how hard it works, no matter how good it is. The little brother. Yeah, I like can't. Yeah, there's something either it's like the aesthetics or like the fact that it just all takes place on this little island and like you see the end in sight like from episode one. You know, it's like. It'll always be this little underrated pocket anime. Yes. And I'm like, because this episode is great. And I'm like, why is this not huge? But at the same time, I'm like, I can understand why it's not huge. Yeah. At the same time, like if this was just on adult swim, I think I'd find it visually boring if something awesome wasn't happening instantly. I have had this theory for a long time. And I think it's because the colors are too past. I think the colors. Yeah. Colors are too past alley. And I like if it was like it's very like everything's very flowy. Everything's very like the art style is gorgeous. We're not saying that it isn't, but like the colors are in such a way that they're very light and vibrant. You're out of water. No, I just absolutely just blast. Yeah, it was a glass. Astro. Yeah. Yes, my met straw, baby. And so I do think it's because the colors are too like like past alley and vibrant and floral. And that's why people can't really take it seriously. It sucks. So because the colors really work for it. Oh, it's great. Like, yeah, it's no. Again, it's no matter how hard it works. Yeah. The world is just going to be against it. Like it's just an injustice of cosmic proportions. There's because here's the thing. There's a like a literal like anti-demon slayer movement, not like intentionally. But it feels as though like the most popular anime on earth right now are actually going for darker color palettes. So like JJ K is dark, Hell's Parrot or Chainsaw Man is dark. Like even like Send It to be a Hero, which we're like, oh, this is visually stunning. Or like in terms of like the color palettes they use is very dark as opposed to like, oh, demons layer like vibrant, floral, neon colors. Yeah. You know, it's funny though about demons layer. It's all at night. All at night. Yes. But like there's just like the like whenever you see a breathing style, it's just fucking like color. Yeah, it all looks like a 4k wallpaper. Exactly. It's like, oh, this should be on. Yeah, whatever that wallpaper app is wallpaper engine wallpaper. That's what it is. Yes. Um, yeah, I wonder if it's less in response to demon slayer and more in response to the My Hero backlash. Do you remember when people were pissed that the sky was blue in season seven? Nope. People were so mad. They were like, why is the sky so fucking blue and bright? And like they're like, oh, bones is trying to make it a kids thing. Like, but they were just waiting to make it dark for season eight. Yeah, it's just how it works. It's called like, you know, visual storytelling. Yeah. You heard of it. But yeah, so we're talking about Hell's Paradise. We're talking about episode. Give me a dupe. Oh, fuck. I forgot that was my job. Scooby-dee-dee. Give me your notes. Um, my notes are, I said, it sure is convenient that there's a hinderer at every single one of the Lord Tenzin. It's all stupid. Every single time, every single time they're like, oh, no, his wood towel. Oh, wait, I have metal towel. I'll be able to hinder him. And I was like, man, this was random, but it's not starting to feel like it. This is episode 21. Well, they broke off intentionally. Yes. But it is a coincidence that all of the living main cast members. Yes. Can hinder the towel. Like that. They didn't get like 12 fire towel people. Yeah. Fuck, they're all water. The first gym's a water gym. Yeah. It's super convenient, especially since they all entered this island having no fucking idea what towel was. Yeah. And then again, I don't know if they ever answered it. How do we know who everyone's towel is? They, I think because the girl. Oh, the baby Isamon. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. That makes sense. Baby what? No. Isamon. Isamon? A simon. No, not baby Isamon. The baby Tenzin. Tenzin. May, May, May. That's your name. So much fucking vocabulary. There's so many. There's so many goddamn names and all these fuck ass shows. And so this is the episode where we get there's like heavy on Jufa and Tau Faw's battle against Asa Chobe, Tomah, Dragonblade and the little Isamon. And you see in this episode, the Dragonblade, whose name is like Gentetsu Sai or something like that. That's exactly what it is actually. He closes, he pops out one of his eye last episode. And then like he's like struggling to get to the little Isamon to save his life. And he's like, I need to see less. He's remembering like his, his Ancet, or like his old master who was like weaker than him. It's smaller than him, slower than him, but always beat him. And he was like, the more you try to be, the less you can see kind of thing. And so we just see the Dragonblade, Gentetsu Sai close his other eye. I was like, OK, cool. So we could have just closed his eyes this whole time. This whole time, you didn't have to hook out one of them, like a fucking fish. It'd be funny if he's running towards her and then his eyes start to close. And then he like sees him clearly and like fucking tan vision or whatever it's called. Or what's the shit called Tao? He sees him in like Tao vision. And then he's like running. The just stops his run. And he's like, oh, God, God. Yeah, I forgot about eyelids. It's like, I didn't have to cut my eye. It's really fucking hurt. But he's like trying to like, it's like the I've been watching Pirates of the Caribbean in the house. He's like that guy like, oh, it's on his eye pops it back in. God. Yeah, this episode was animated crazy. So good. They kept cutting like marvelous misadventures of flapjack stales. They kept cutting like really intense SpongeBob stales. Where they're like like punched it on their face and like oozing out of all their pores. I don't remember that at all. It's like they kept cutting and like all their outlines were hyper thick and they had a ton of detail and shit. Are we talking about the 10s in or we're talking about like. Everyone really. They kept doing it. They did it to the dragon. They did it to the 10s in. They didn't want the guy was like, number one, that girl kind of snaps because the pink haired one kept being like, I feel so bad for the humans. I don't want to keep making Tao. And then she makes this little boat to like bait humans on the island. And then he's like, are you cool with this? And then she's all detailed and weird. And she turns around. She's like, of course. Yeah. And he's like, yeah, humanity is lower than like the dosher. Like the like, like livestock. We should use them. What a what a cool backstory for Ju Fa and Tao Fa. Also there, Kikushi, Kiku, whatever, transformation, like where it's like they're two of them, they slap together and they're different slabs. And the little assignment is like, this hot for anybody else. This is anything. He was like, it's like a luring and sexy but dangerous at the same time. And it's just like three huge bodies slapped together in an eldritch monster. He's like, I know he was like, the epitome of sexual appeal. They're like fucking aware. It was like, that's a crazy self report. I love if go tattoo just turns and he's like, what did you just say? Do you want to leave this? Are you happy here specifically? It's like, it looks like a heart. Somebody like ripped open and splayed out. Yeah. I also love that we get the backstory of Rian. Like, like, finally, he's the first person to change. He was like the first Lord Tenzin. And he's like coaching up all of these Lord Tenzin. And he's like, well, you're going to do, you're going to stretch in the corner. You're going to like do breathing techniques. And then he's like, you two, the reason you were raised together or so you could fuck for eternity. And then I was like, I was like looking at them. They were kids and they like immediately aged up. And I was like, well, whoo. And then I was like, nope, never mind. That doesn't change anything. Yeah. I loved. Well, like they are the bad guys. Like we're not going to sit here and be like, it was weird of Rian to do that. Like he's the antagonist. No, I loved it. I thought it was so fucked. And it was like, I liked that they explored that it was fucked. Like that they don't want to do it. And that they like him, him becoming an adult was like painful. Yes. It's like Sonda. He's like, please stop changing my bones. Yeah. I think it's really cool that season one, you're taught that all of the Tenzin are basically one guy. Yeah. And they're split up. And now I think it's interesting that they're like, oh, there's dissent within that one guy. Yeah. And that some of them. And it was cool that like the anime felt like it knew the weight of pairing two of these children for Bochujutsu. Yes. It knows it's fucked up, which felt really cool. Like it saved it for the last. And they were kids, like you said. And then he painfully adultifies a dude. And then he's like, get fucking forever. And then I also like that. Yeah, they develop more of a bond with each other. Yeah. Anyone else. I'm happy that I would like this was with you kind of situation. But they're still like, while they're fucking, they're talking about how they don't want to turn humans into towel and shit. And then she like snaps like. Yeah. It was all great. It's a great episode. It's a really good background, very good character writing, really good action. And next episode seems like it's going to be hype, too, because they're like one last Tenzin, you know, they're literally just getting like we are we are Tenzin. We're Tenzin it. What are we, some kind of Tenzin? Yeah, you son of a bitch. I'm in and then they dap each other up from across their own body. Yeah, which brings us to our last episode of the week here, which is our best episode this week. And Danny Mott has finally come around on Freeran, not because the story has changed or because we finally got into the arc that we've been building towards for the entirety of season two. No, because he's finally seen the light. No, things have changed. Oh, is that what happened? Yeah, everything's different. Yeah, you're right. This was awesome. Yes, but it's because it felt like a JJK episode. Yes, 100 percent. The tone was so fucked. Can I give you some plot here? OK, the first step, all of those episodes are like we're just doing episodic like lesson of the weeks. That is like the it's the journey. Yeah, they're on their way to the Northern Plateau. The continued journey to the Northern Plateau arc. We have now just entered into the longest arc of Freeran. So everything from this moment on is going to be like, oh, we're actually building towards something. So for all those who are like, man, when is Freeran going to get interesting in season two here now? Now is the answer. This this dude's awesome. This fucking Colonel Mustang ass, dude. Yeah, he's great. His partner is great. I don't know their names. It was like Groot's. It's a geek. I think the baby Groot. Now, yeah, now and remote, remote. No method. That's your name. Awesome. Yeah. Great name. Two good names. Yeah. Um, yeah, he's just got this fucking like weight to him that no other freeran character does. And that's what like it freeran is just not. It's optimism. Slop. It's your ad campaigns lighting up the dashboard, but not the pipeline. That's bull spend. And marketers are calling it out in dashboard confessions. My boss asked for results. So we opened my dashboard for the only positive sounding metric I had. Impressions. Cut the bull spend. See revenue, not just reach. LinkedIn delivers the highest return on ad spend of major ad networks. Advertise on LinkedIn. Spend 200 pounds on your first campaign and get a 200 pound credit. Go to LinkedIn.com slash lead terms and conditions apply. Freeran is a bit of a fuck ass optimism. Slop. Um, it's freeran like isn't really like to my taste because everyone they meet, they'll be like, no, bats eat my daughter. But you know what? We had a great time together before that. You know what? Those bats also eat mosquitoes. I'm just happy they're full. Yeah, it's like like fuck. Himmel got eaten by bats. I remember it all. That is how it would go. And then the fern is getting eaten by bats and she's like, get up off. And she's like, oh, my secret belt, my bat killing spell. For instance, like actually, Hamel didn't mind it in the end. When it was just his feet left, he was happy. Yeah. He didn't have to take that long walk up the mountain anymore. But like, yeah, so like my ideal fantasy is when like everything is fucked and everyone's being fucked over by somebody else. Yes. So it's cool to have someone who feels like they've got like the weight of like a life's worth of depression currently affecting them. Yeah. Like to meet a guy who hasn't arced into like, oh, well, as long as I get two marshmallows a night, I'm happy. Yeah. And yeah, it was just fucking sick. Oh, and he goes through. Yes, he goes through this attacked village and it's his hometown. Yes. And he's like so fucking synapsed, burnt that he's like, I guess I care. Yeah. And he like finds a dude who's still alive and he wasn't going to help him, but he won't let go of his cloth. So then he carries him and he feels him die and continues the conversation. And he lies to him. That's the thing. Like he's like, he like picks up his like, it was like the son of a baker who made really bad bread and he was like, I'll never get to eat his bread again. But he's not like sad about it. He's like, oh, but all like there's this level of weight where he's like, he made bad bread, but I'll never get to eat it again. And you're like, oh, that's heavy. And then while he's carrying him his last words is like, what about everybody else? Are they all still alive? And he's like, he sees that he's dying. He sees that he's not going to make it. And he's like, yeah, they're all OK. And then he keeps talking to him. And you're like, is that for him or is that for the dead guy? And I'm like, like he's such this like complex character. You're like, oh, he's not feeling. But at the same time, like, obviously, this is a weighty moment. Like, what does this mean to get out? Yeah, it's so interesting because it feels like he wants to be like, I don't care. Like I've I've been through too much to give a shit. And now I'm just like this husk. But clearly he cares. Yeah. And he like, yeah, it's so. Were you on like the edge of your seat this entire episode? Because I was. I really. Yeah. I don't think Freerun does. I think Freerun does slow burn better than any maybe piece of media I've ever watched ever because I'm like there like that entire episode. There's no fight. There's no fight. There he just dusts one low level demon in the beginning. And then they're just like the rest of it like this. Yeah, literally. I just like my staying at him. Yeah, literally. Just like points him away. The guys I have kids and he's like, I've heard that before. I just love that we keep enforcing the fact that like demons just fucking lie. And then like like, but the entire episode is like he's like placing a barrier seal on the church. There's no action. But I'm just like, I need to know what to do. I need to know what they're getting into because it's so fucking the storytelling is so goddamn good. Yeah. Oh, it's awesome. And they talk slow. They talk so slow that I don't care. Yeah. This is the best episode of Freerun, I think in terms of like my specific tastes that the end they're like the demon had four swords. That shit's sick. Eat your heart out, Zorro. Get fucked. Oh my god. I love them. I like how they deduced that too. That's kind of cool. It's like a stark in method like trying to be like, no, this doesn't make sense from like a swing perspective. Yeah. And they go back to back. Yeah. Yeah, I'd love if like the show just leans in the memes of Freerun being like unbelievably racist and like just you'll just see her like mowing through demons, just like splitting them in half, like down the collar. So this is the only way that it's her to go. It's like, Jesus Christ, there's children watching. Yeah. God, it's so good. Yeah. It's like there's not a lot to talk about. I know. I'm realizing that. It's like from an action, like there's not a whole lot to talk about outside. In fact, like fuck Freerun's really good at telling stories. And that's the reason you watch it. I just hope I love this tone and I want it to stay here. And I know I'm the only person on earth who feels that way. Everyone loves the optimism slop. But like, I love just a fucking Aki from chainsaw man asked dude who's like, this life sucks, but I'm going to keep living it. God, I love the rest of Aki story. I'm so excited. I'm so excited for you to do engage with the right. You're going to be. Yeah, I think you might if you get a tattoo, if I could see you getting tattoo of one anime character, I could see it being Aki because I want an Aki tattoo. Cool. Maybe I'll get the easy revenge or something. Oh, easy revenge cigarette on like a finger. Like that, that that would be. Oh, my God. Doing suckies. Yeah, you're right here. Yeah. Easy revenge. Yeah, you're like, you've lost the plot of him and oh, entirely. That'd be tough. All right. Well, that is all the anime that we have to talk about, which means that we do have some games that we could play or to our and 36 minutes or we could get into my best boy. Let's get your best boy. You want to get to my best boy? You want you want to do a game this week? We can, if you want. But we also have to do Patreon. We also have to do Patreon. We're watching the second live action Scooby-Doo movie. Yeah, so. So if you guys want to see that Scooby-Doo goodness, that's Scooby-Doo-Bee-Doo-Bee. That's what we're doing this next episode here. This is one also directed by Jonah Hill. I don't remember his name. Yeah, this one's written and directed by Frank Sinatra. Good. Godforster. All right, so we have three games that we could hypothetically play. You do want to play one. I'm just going to tell you what the games are. And you tell me if any of them excite you to the point where we're like, damn, we should get that. We have, hey, boys, three games for today. Guess the character from Tinder profile. Kind of like the one that we played at Colossalcom. Second is guess the anime from the Google translated plot again. Third is Chomp Chuck fuck Pokemon fusions again. Maybe more by the sounds of it. This was sent on the July or no, February 23rd. Do any of those excite you to the point where you want to do them today? I mean, they're all incredibly exciting. I just can be so sleepy for the Patreon. Well, then let's do let's do. We'll do it next week. We'll do it next week. My news or not my news, my best boy. I don't have news this week is the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise because I put on, we were on Prime Video the other day and there's like this really popular movie right now called Bluff and it's, Oh yeah. It's Billy Butcher from the boys whose name I refuse to know. And then the Rard Butler, not even remotely close. Excuse you, not Gerard Butler. The boys from the boys, Billy Butcher, the guy who plays him. He's also in Lord of the Rings. He's like one of those Knights of Rohan. Yeah, great hairpiece back then. And then the lady who got married to one of the Jonas Brothers. Very, like very, very talented. Carl Urban. Carl Urban and the lady who married, I think Nick Jonas. I have not. Maybe, but anyways. So don't know either of their names, but it's a pirate movie. And I was like, oh, pirate movies are back. And I put it on Claire and Dorothy are at the house. And there was like, we've never seen a pirate movie. I was like, you guys never seen Pirates of the Caribbean? And they've never seen any of the Pirates of the Caribbean. And I was like, Holy shit, that's huge. We need to watch all the movies. And those movies are so goddamn good. They are. They are so, and listen, they get worse. Every movie gets worse. Substantially. One is peak media. Two, very good. Three. Everyone's a crab. Not everyone. Everyone's a crab. Everyone's the wettest you've ever seen. Filming that must have been a goddamn, the amount of makeup. And a lot of it is like CGI, like the CGI level for 2006. And nine, crazy. But man, everyone's wet. Everyone's covered in starfish and barnacles. And then like fucking Bill Turner. William Turner becomes the captain of the Flying Dustman at the end. We're on, we've just finished three. It's a three hour movie. You're done with the good ones. Four and five I've never seen before. I've heard are bad, bad. They're bad. They're like, bad, bad? Or like still kind of fun to watch? Five's like God awful. I haven't seen four in a minute. But I think it's just bad. And when they do just keep getting worse. When you look up the rankings from like one rotten tomatoes and two everyone talking about them, it is literally just every single one gets worse. I think the second one's the best one. I think the second one's the best one. No. You fucking didn't say that. I said the second one's the best one because it's got the huge wheel sequence. It's got a big wheel. Which I think is to this. I think Pirates of the Caribbean has some of the most iconic cinema sequences in history. Yeah. There is there is a fucking did Jack Sparrow running down the beach with all the eyes on his face and this entire crowd of people following him. The wheel sequence. Fuck. And the third one, there's a guy walking down the stairs as his ship's destroyed by the flying Dutchman. Oh, yeah. And the fucking Black Pearl, which is awesome. There's so many iconic. Like there's so many like it's almost like Jackie Chan ask. Like it's like very physical. Really creative. Like very creative action sequences. And then like the boating sequences. Those movies must have cost. I'll lose quintillion dollars. Yeah, they seem like the worst movies to make ever. You got to be on a fucking boat the whole time. They're taking these boats to like the middle of the desert for these set pieces. I like holy fucking how are they building it? Crazy. I love the second one. It's like scary for some reason. Oh, yeah. And like they're like, oh, you know what? Your father's bootstrap bill because we strapped a cannonball to his ankle and threw him down into David Jones looker. Why is David Jones Scottish, by the way? He's so fun. I like that he's like a weird like. Love a boy. He's like a weird flamboyant like theater arts teacher. He's just playing the organ until he falls asleep. Well, yeah, until he falls asleep every single day and then he kills dudes by shoving his tentacles up their mouth. I love the East India Trading Company. Are the bad guys. Yeah, awesome. So good. Do you like the bit in the very beginning of the second one? The whoever the captain of the East Indian Trading Company is there to arrest Will Turner on his wedding day with Elizabeth Swan. And he's like, I have a warrant right here for his arrest. And Elizabeth's dad's like, this is an arrest warrant for Elizabeth Swan. He's like, oh, is it? That's annoying. Arrest her too. Like. I eat so good. It's so goddamn good. And then they introduced like Singaporean like pirates in the third one and all that. Yeah, the world buildings nuts. They build out like, oh, there's pirates from fucking after there's Japanese pirates. There's French pirates. It's so much fun. And like a lot of the action sequences. I just like, I just feel like you don't see wide sweeping action sequences like that anymore. Okay. I just like, like the set pieces are so impressive. And like, you get it a little bit in like the one piece live action, but I feel like we'll never get that sequence where like a huge wooden wheel is rolling down a hill. And you know, for a fact, there's actual stunt doubles in there, like holding on like it's a fucking like, like Cirque du Soleil like piece. It's crazy. Yeah, I agree. It like really feels like a blockbuster. Like you see where every dollar went. Are those the best Disney made movies ever? Oh, I don't know if I am allowed to say that, but yeah. Babe, well, then what would be? I don't know some Pixar shit. You think so? Yeah, like an up or something. I don't know. Are they the most impressive Disney made? Like, yeah, probably. That feels like it comes from an era when Disney actually gave a shit about the movies it made. I can't imagine it being like not the hardest movie ever to make. Like the costume design is insane. And then the costumes look dirty and they're like ripped up. And like it's not like we're like new movies now, like the Witcher and all that. Why is everyone so fucking clean? I'm so clean. I know like when Jack's on that island where he's got like the eyes painted over his eyelids. Yes. The costume designs insane on like every single person. And you know that I didn't make like four of them because like it's like every time there's a costume in a movie, they have to make like six of them. Yeah, right. So they like the the costuming cost of that movie must have been ass and I know it's insane. That's sick. I guess speaking of pirates, I've been watching season one of the live action One Piece with my mom. Have you not? You've seen it. But we're like she watches a podcast. Gotcha. Um, so we're watching that right now and we watched episode one yesterday. The dude who plays fucking hell, Leplo. Yeah. Horribly miscast. Oh, it's very bad. But what do you think I mean? In terms of like he needs to be what like the most naughty or like. No, he's so snotty. I think he's like. Performance he's doing well. That guy is the only guy on earth who like has Oda head. I'm not talking about Oda's blowing him because he's not. What do you mean? Like he has like Oda's head to body ratio. He looks like every dude with like shanks his head proportions because Oda has like three different heads. He knows how to draw. Okay. And it's like. For women, it's one. But yes, one that dude who plays Helm Leppo or Helm, Leppo in the live action one piece has that head where it's really big on the top and then a really short jaw, but the biggest mouth on earth. Oh, he does have a huge mouth. Doesn't he? Dude, he looks like you should have made him shanks. You make that hair red. He looks like Shang. Especially when he had the long hair. That's not a bad shanks cast. That really isn't. He looks nothing like Helm, Leppo Helm, Leppo. I mean, but nobody looks anything. Have you seen Helm, Leppo? How should be like he looks like he's supposed to be kept in a cage because he bites. Like how am I supposed to have whatever they put on fucking? I am forgetting his name. Sounds to the lambs like that's Hannibal Hector. Have a look. It's kind of hot later. Not hot. Not a different man. It's better. Yeah. I mean, but so is Kobe after the time skip. Yeah, this dude, he just has the head like he looks like Zoro when he's doing a big like her should have made him Zoro. I fucked I get that. I'm sure people would have loved that. The white blonde guy ends up as the one canonically Japanese character. Oda would literally have died so we could roll over in his grave. You already did your news.

Dude, I looked up the highest grossing. Do you know the highest grossing actors of all time is I assume Matt Mercer? It's not Matt Mercer. John Johnny Depp. It is not Johnny because I thought it would be Orlando Bloom, right? Because I was like, oh, all right, but think about it. Think about it. Think about it. Fucking six movies. He's in all three of the Lord of the Ring movies, which made a billion dollars each. And then that didn't go to Orlando Bloom. OK, but like I'm not saying like who's been paid the most. I'm saying who's been in the movies that have made the most money. That's what I mean by high scrosing. It's fucking the rock. It's not the rock. It's not the rock. It's not a man either. Well, it is technically a man if you count cameos. But like in terms of like has a major role, identifiable role in the movies, it is not a man. Is it a woman? It is that would that would be the logical second choice. Yes. Well, you said technically a man. I know Elliot Page. No, no, no, that would be crazy. Yeah, right. Juno's a great kid. Juno's huge, dude. No, the highest grossing actor right now is Zoe Zoe. Salantz, a Saldana, a Saldana, Zoe Saldana, who's grossed to something like I think it's like 18 billion dollars. Right. Because she's been in Avatar Avatar fire and ash. And then she's been in like all the Avengers movies because she is Gamora. And so because she's Gamora, who's in all of those movies and then also she's in Avatar, it's like 18 million dollars. Unfortunately, the rest of the list is all just people who have been in adventure. Shit, it's like it's fucking it used to be Robert. No, no, no, no, no. Speak English, motherfucker. English, do you speak it? Samuel O Jackson used to be Samuel O Jackson because he was in because he was in Star Wars, Avengers, and then he was also in he was a voice actor in The Incredibles. So he was at like 15 billion. So it's mostly it's like it's like, you know, Chris Pratt, Zoe, then Chris's the but if you count cameos and or voice acting roles. Number one is Stanley at 30 billion. Number two, do you have a guess for who would be the highest paid voice actor of all time? Tom Kenny. Tom Tom Kenny. Yeah. OK, so I don't know who that is. Steve Lum. It is. Alan Tuduk. Oh, yeah. So if you count cameos and voice acting roles, it goes Stanley at 30 billion dollars, Samuel Jackson at 28 billion dollars. And then 10 billion dollars short of that is Alan Tuduk. Wow. Who, for those of you who don't know, is Dr. Phosphorus in what is it? Mayhem Boys. May not Mayhem Boys at all. Creature Commandos. Yeah. And then he's also in he was also the invisible guy. Or no, he was like the main bad guy in the DC one, which was also about bad heroes that had the guy who was the whale. Fuck. Why would this is the worst segment? This is the worst segment we've ever done. I don't know. Oh, Jesus. Anyway, so yeah, it's Alan Tuduk. And then there's a bunch of other ones there. But yeah, so the highest grossing like real actor who's not including voice actor roles, Zoe Saldana, Scarlett Johansson. I knew that. And then Samuel Jackson, Robert Downey, Jr. Chris Pratt, Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise feels like the only one who's earned it. Kybe Fully for real. Tom Cruise should be number one. He earned it because it's like movies he's directing, you know. Yeah, I guess so. And he's also constantly almost dying. And then it's Vin Diesel. Like Chris Hensworth. Then Vin Diesel doesn't deserve it. Also Vin Diesel. How dare you Vin Diesel on a pet? You should have to like need to know how to act to be on this list. We have the podcast is breaking up after this episode 100 percent. But yeah, it's all just fucking it's all Marvel heroes. Colonsus asks, who would Jack Sparrow be if you put him in the one piece universe? You know more one piece than I do. I know. And I just watched Pirates of the Caribbean, the first three movies back. People will be like, oh, it's Luffy. It's Luffy because Jack Sparrow is the main character. Luffy is the main character. But it's not. Jack Sparrow is constantly trying to backstab literally everyone in his life. Yeah. Like there's like Jack Sparrow and Will Turner are both like bad people. And like you just have to decide which of those two bad people is more charismatic. And it's Johnny Depp. It's Jack Sparrow every single time. I don't like Will Turner. I think personally. Why is he a bad person? I just because he's trying to backstab Jack Sparrow and I'm a Jack Sparrow. He's a bad guy. I use a bad guy, but I like him because he runs funny and he's always talking about I just I'm a big Jack Sparrow truth or anyways. So he would be like somebody who's like kind of like bad adjacent. If to me, if Jack Sparrow is going to be anybody in the one piece universe, it would be like use this kid. You say this character. You do not. Big arm, big, big old metal arm. And then like his crew loves him. Everybody in like Jack Sparrow's crew adores him, which I love. I love a well knit together crew. And like use this kid has like a morally gray like he's got like kid. He's got killer on his team. Was just a guy with hooks for arms, who's literally just known for killing people. And so to me, if he was going to be anybody, you'd have to be a morally gray character like use this kid. All right. Who would you think with your limited one piece knowledge? Sanji, I don't know. Jack Sparrow is pretty horny. He is pretty horny. He does kiss Elizabeth, but then she literally handcuffs him to the mass and he gets eaten by the Kraken. Yeah, he's always getting slapped by women. He is always get you and Sanji is always getting slapped. Yeah, exactly. That's a pretty good poll. Yeah, he never cooks. Well, since he's going to be based on the guys, I know, fucking Usopp crocodile. Buggy. Boom. Buggy is pretty cool. That's buggy. Buggy is pretty good. Jack Sparrow would need a fruit that makes him semi immortal. You know, like that dude's not really like the slap, slap fruit. Like every time you get slapped to get stronger or something, he's got to slap himself up a bunch. Well, I like he'd have a rum, rum fruit. He would have that. Like his body is wrong and he's just pouring himself in people's mouths and getting him hammered and killing him. Sick. Yeah. That's not what I thought it would be. But I thought it was going to be like a drunken fist type deal where the more he drinks, the stronger he gets. That could also be really sick. All right. That's all we have this week. Ladies and gentlemen, we appreciate chickening for another episode of Talking to Nonos. We love you guys so much and we'll see you on the next one. We'll be playing some games in the next one when me and Danny aren't trying to rapidly catch up with all of our Scooby-Doo related needs. But until the next one, guys, we love you. Goodbye.
