This episode of Otaku's Anonymous covers a packed week of anime releases including Invincible season 4, JJK Culling Games arc, Fire Force finale, Frieren, Hell's Paradise, and One Piece live action. The hosts discuss pacing issues, character deaths, animation quality, and debate whether certain story elements work better in anime adaptation versus source material.
Insights
- Anime adaptations can improve upon source material through animation and pacing choices, but risk losing character development and thematic depth when condensing arcs
- Fandom toxicity around anime theories and discourse has shifted from casual speculation to aggressive gatekeeping, making casual enjoyment harder for creators
- Repetitive villain encounters in superhero anime like Invincible create narrative fatigue despite strong animation, suggesting need for higher stakes and permanent consequences
- Live action anime adaptations benefit from confident cinematography and set design rather than extreme close-ups, improving viewer immersion and production perception
- Character redemption arcs in anime are accepted more readily when characters are physically attractive, suggesting appearance influences audience moral judgment
Trends
Anime pacing compression: Studios condensing multiple manga/light novel arcs into single seasons, sacrificing character moments for plot progressionLive action anime production confidence: Shift from defensive close-up cinematography to wider, more confident camera work and set designFandom discourse toxicity: Escalation from casual theory discussion to numerology-based analysis and creator harassment over interpretationAnimation quality variance: High-budget fight sequences contrasting with static dialogue scenes, creating uneven viewing experienceRedemption arc acceptance bias: Audience willingness to forgive genocidal characters based on attractiveness and emotional backstorySource material adaptation divergence: Live action adaptations making significant plot changes (singing vs fighting, internal ecosystems removed) for pacingVillain fatigue in serialized superhero anime: Repeated encounters with same antagonists without permanent resolution creating narrative stagnationStreaming release unpredictability: Platforms like Netflix releasing episodes with unclear schedules (Steel Ball Run), disrupting viewing habitsAnime character design consistency issues: Multiple characters sharing similar appearance traits due to art style limitationsGLP-1 medication discourse in anime communities: Health and fitness topics bleeding into anime discussion spaces

Full Transcript
I was also like somehow way skinnier than I currently am now. Fistfully impossible. I was at like 110 freshman year of college. Insane. That's a level of weight where it's like somebody would hand you a Hershey's bar and a doctor would slap it out of their hands and say, stop, it'll shock his system, he'll die. I was ameseated and very flexible. And so he'd like put me in a hold and he's like, all right, so like. Why were you more flexed just because there was nothing in your body holding? There was nothing to rub against anything. Yeah, there was that like your body holding your bones together. You just popping out. All right, right now this about as like much as my arm can bend. Imagine this like touching this. That's fair. Yeah, there was no meat stopping the bending. Yeah, exactly. So it'd be like, all right. And tell me when you start feeling pressure and they just get like dangerously close to snapping my arm. Yes. You feel any of this? Yeah, you're like, no, I keep going. I need to feel something. I'm like, I'm not tapping for shit. Meanwhile, the other two guys in Brigillion Jiu Jitsu Club were just using you as a sandbag to throw you across the room. Yeah, so man, you were amping their egos. That's why they wanted to start a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Club. They're like, listen, do you think we can get Danny to join? They're like, only one way to find out. And then they got your ass. And they were just 180 pound regular weighted men throwing your straw doll ass around. Yeah, they were very regular sized men. Hundred and ten pounds. Were you eating? No, no, I don't I don't eat unless I force myself to. That's you were just like a walking out for the you're the original GLP one. Is that a car? Yeah, you know what? The fucking that acronym for Gleapmere. Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. Yeah, it's Gleapmere's first chapter, the first volume of Gleapmere. No, fucking, um, what's the thing that all the the celebrities take to become a little Ozempic is the like Ozempic's like the name brand of a GLP one. Gleapmere's a receptor in your body that tells you you're no longer hungry. So people just jam that into their bodies and they're like, I'm no longer hungry. And they have to set fucking alarms to remind themselves to eat. By the way, don't take it was MPEG. I hear you told me this bad. Oh, yeah, it's deboning your bone. Yeah, it's like literally promoting osteoporosis. Like it's like it's like the they're doing like blind studies to see like, oh, people who took was MPEG and people who didn't take Ozempic. And it's like, oh, where their bones go. They literally are like experiencing something like 50% accelerated bone loss. The majority, it's not the majority, but like, I think like close to half of the amount of weight you lose while doing those epic is muscle. Dude, it is it is not good for you. Yeah. So you guys aren't going to believe it. There's no miracle drug to lose weight. Literally just a calorie deficit cardio. Eat clean. That's it. No, just fucking be like Danny. Just don't be hungry ever. Yeah, or be like me and have a milkshake probably every other night. Yeah. And you put as long as you put creatine in the milkshake, you're good to go, baby. Oh, I love you. You're looking you're looking bigger. Creatine's put some water in those muscles. I've been working out for like two weeks and I'm already looking. I'm listening. Now you got a Cyclops Cyclops Gizbot on. Yeah. So I mean, like that's the thing is like, you know, two pecs, one eye. Yeah, you're I feel like you're about to have some opinions about sheep. Anyways. Anyways, we're going to talk about this weekend, ladies and gentlemen. A lot of stuff came out and by a lot of stuff we mean. Too much. Not only do we have our standard, which is already an overpacked schedule of anime that is a free run fire force vigilantes. We got JJ K said to be a hero. Hell's paradise. We have one piece of live action of which Danny's only seen the second episode. And then we also got three whole last episodes of Invincible. And also I realized of which Nick only saw the first two first two. And then I realized right before this, that three days ago, the new episode, the final episode of amazing. No second to final. Oh, I thought this was an ultimate. I thought this was the last one. No, one more. I thought that in June, they're doing nine. Yeah. Finish on a like a regular, like a regular HBO TV show. I don't know. It's a diet. Fucking assholes. Anyways, three episodes ago or three days ago, an episode of amazing digital circus came out. Danny already has his reaction done, recorded and out, because if he, I don't know, he's afraid that somebody else with a bigger platform is going to react to it before him or something. Send anthrax to my door. That is honestly, once they find your address, it'll just be a fucking palm, the element like an envelope dust you out. But I didn't see it because I don't have a million like frantic people trying to get me to watch it the second it comes out. So we will do that next week. Honestly, we have too much talk about this week. Anyways, to like give it the time and attention it probably deserves. And I'm sure the episode was good. Good. Yeah. Very good. How in the spectrum of like, this is better than some worse than others. One of the better ones. OK. This has been like a hot streak. Like these last three ever since the gun ever since the gun episode. It's been a hot because it was gun episode. And then we did. I forget what the last one was like some disappearing ass, it was, you know, it was the NPC, the NPC, like a pub. Oh, able. Yeah. Trying to break them out. And then it was revealed that it was just chatterboxes. This is like the aftermath of that. And then and then some. OK, actually, this has some great cane. Thirty two minute long episode, just fucking huge episode. I guess they're all not all that long. The more recent ones are like typically. Because we're just trying to fucking pack as much story into nine episodes. Just make more. Just make fucking I don't think anybody would complain if a amazing digital circus is 11 episodes. I definitely want to complain, but I think the creator of amazing digital circus would throw themselves off of the cliff. What is with everyone and a fucking getting burnt out in a year? The fandoms suck. I there's everyone's up their ass. For sure that everyone's up the creator's ass being like, I thought Ragged, though, was going to be the protagonist. And this is the beauty of being just tangential to like a million fandoms is that I never interface with the worst of like, what a thing, even like I am central to the lore of JJK. I would say in English speaking content creation, I do not interact. I'm not on Twitter. I'm not in like the deepest, darkest like sections of Instagram and tick tock and all that. Like, I just like I see like a JJK meme and I go, ha ha. And then like people will be like, hey, did you hear about like this theory? Or people like literally like like doxing Gage's address? And like fucking no, I did it. I know it's so nice to just like a thing, a regular amount. Yeah, like I posted of tick tock about like one of my quote unquote theories of what I think it's not even a theory in the traditional sense of like what people have been weaponizing that word to mean these days, where it's like an amazing digital circus episode will come out and people will be like, here are the top five biggest and most accurate theories. And it's like, OK, one, the Palmies Hitler is like is some nonsense bullshit where they like do the biggest reach ever to support their claims and it's all nonsense. Yeah. When they start getting into like numerology and those there's nine episodes and three it's fucking the worst. I posted a video that wasn't like a theory more just like what I think the symbolism of a shot, I can't tell you means. OK, gotcha. And I got like a bunch of comments of people being like, this is one of the dumbest theories I've heard. And I'm like, no one knows how to just like think something about a show anymore. Yeah. Like no one knows how to just be like, I don't know. There used to the Internet used to be an environment in my opinion, where it was like the equivalent of being on a couch with a bunch of friends and being like, oh, I wonder if they're going to do this next episode. Yeah. And imagine if your friend just snapped at you and was like, that's the dumbest thing I ever heard. Why would they ever do that? It's like it's like seeing Chekhov's gun in the first act and you're like, oh, Chekhov's gun. And people were like, yeah, but how does that relate? How does it relate to the subliminal plot of what's going on with Pomin and Jax right now? And it's like, fucking, I just think they're going to use a gun in the third act. Can you chill the fuck out? I know. It's so nice to just casually like a thing and then not engage with the discourse. I mean, that's why I like I post my stuff on the Internet and I'm like, and it's gone forever. Yeah. I'm like, and whoever watches that, thank you very much. And it's and it no longer exists to me. Can I get into my kind of news because it's related? Yeah, sure. So I'm going to play you a TikTok and I'll credit them, but they explain it better than I could because I literally just be regurgitating. The TikToker is Corrin X V. That's 15, I believe. X V would be 15. Yes, I learned that from Final Fantasy. Me too. Corrin 15. He follows me. I'll phone back. I've been liking his stuff. OK, good. Here is the news. Wait, the JJK community has hit new levels of boredom because there is no way that we got people on Twitter right now competing in their own versions of the Culling Games called the JJK LARP games. Right now, there is a Twitter account operating as Kogane, where they have not only listed out the 11 rules of the LARP games, but they are actively giving players our points for their tweets. Some of the rules include players score points by making hit tweets, LARPing a character of JJK. The point value of tweets will be decided by the Game Master. Can you get somebody? 100 points to negotiate a new rule with the Game Master, but rules cannot be deleted. And you can't. Yes, that this is this is just that's good. That's discord. That is monetizing being a discord module. Like if I get like, and you get a roll upgrade for a funny tweet, good. Dude, that's the only thing I disagree with the video. And some of the comments is like, he's like, yeah, the JJK fandoms hit a new level of boredom. And the comments are like, JJK fans, try not to be cringe challenge impossible. I'm like, this sounds like a lot of fun. Oh, it's fucking just D&D, but like everyone has to be comedic in the like in the confines of a JJK fucking person. That's fun. Yeah, it sounds like a blast. This is better than JJK fandoms usual shtick, which is hating JJK. Which is hating JJK and the man who wrote it. And then hating JJK sequel and also the man who wrote it. Yeah. So like, I thought that was kind of neat. It's just a wow roleplay server. 100 percent. You bring up an interesting role. There's actively people on GTA five right now pretending to be police, pretending to be police in their spare time. They're driving around in the at the speed limit and GTA five pulling over the people having actual fun. That is like that is so much worse. People love doing a job for free in a virtual sense. There's people playing here. There's a hundred thousand people playing Euro Truck Simulator right now, just learning how to shift the 12 fucking a 12 year shift box. I remember the last time I ever played a racing game was in 2019. I drove to college. It's like a five or six hour drive from home drove to college. Super exhausted. I was like bitching about the drive on the phone with some friends the whole time. And then I like unpacked my stuff for the semester, turned on my Xbox and then played Forza Horizon and like got 30 minutes into driving in a video game. And I was like, my life is hell. He's wanted to feel what it could feel like to like drive a fast car for a second. Yeah, I was like, I drove six hours to drive for pretend. Yeah, I need to change my life. People are like, oh, and then you're on Forza Horizon. So unrealistic. Get on F one simulator so you can so you can feel tire slip. But I'm like fucking no, thank you. I'm OK. Insane. I'll kind of get into my news. I have you heard about the biggest video game that hit the market? Crimson Desert. Yeah, no, actually, Seven Deadly Sins Origin. You guys got some. How dare you? It's got some mixed reviews here recently. Oh, I can't believe. Wait, so what was the one you're talking about? Crimson Desert. Crimson. OK, is that like a is that like people playing that? Is that a big game right now? What could this bit possibly be? I'm just trying to figure out. What is this trap? You see like, is it open world? Crimson, my deserts across your nuts. Is that an open world game? Is that a big open world? OK, because it's like a breath of the wild type. OK, I must have got lost up in the hype of Seven Deadly Sins Origins, because that's also that's the big open world game everyone's talking about right now. I just got a blistering three stars on Steam, 55 percent on Metacritic, not a big deal. So yeah, if you guys are looking for a new action packed open world video game to really just like sink your teeth in, like the people who are playing it, like the, you know, a lot of the reporters are saying like, oh, there's too much. There's too much video game to say in the main stories. Boring. Once you get eight hours in, like the grind is really worth it. You can scroll up, you can see into Elizabeth's skirt. Like we're doing like, we're doing like a high level gameplay here in the Seven Deadly Sins Origins, for sure, which happened to drop in the same weekend as Crimson Desert. And it's like, my God, this was not going to be the barb and hymer you wanted it to be. Fuck, whoever owns that IP to this day. This is indistinguishable from Genshin Impact. Boy, oh boy, has every video game that has even the slightest amount of anime twinge and the last eight years been indistinguishable from Genshin Impact. My God, they ought to be Genshin Impact so bad. So that's your news. That's my news is that you listen, if you're not playing the Seven Deadly Sins origin, what are you doing with your genuinely? What are you doing with your life, dog? What did IGN give this? Let me see. Probably. Actually, let's let's play the game. Let's play the game. Did IGN give a higher rating to Crimson Desert or Seven Deadly Sins origin? What do you think? I'm going to say Seven Deadly Sins origin. OK, do you know what they gave Crimson Desert? I'm assuming it's low on account of the fact that the game seems as though it requires some semblance of skill. I mean, fucking, do they not have? What is this? This is a review. Where is your score, idiots? Blah, blah, blah. It was rewarding to see what kind of chaos I could sew in Britannia. Blah, blah, blah. The issue isn't helped by the ebb and flow. Oh, my God, I thought they what happened to just putting the big fat number at the top? There's no number. What do you mean? There's no number. They get me. Maybe it's zero. There's there's just no way. It's still too early to tell how I feel about Seven Deadly Sins. I'm sorry, that's your closing argument. This is not a review. This is absurd. Sarah's favorite fantasy, John's, the Witcher, Oblivion, Bouldersgate, Diablo. So like the biggest. So yeah, the most successful RPGs of the last decade. Good, good, good, good, good, good. OK, then I guess we can do. Fucking I don't know. Not N.R. I.G. Ray, I don't I don't I don't know what this is. Game not out yet. Is that what's happening here? No. Yeah, it's a six out of ten on steam. OK, I didn't give Crimson Desert a six out of ten. So it's the same. So it's the same. Yeah, it's the same game. So they're the exact same game here. So save the money. Don't spend $70 in Crimson Desert. Get on Seven Deadly Sins origin. How much is that? That's all. Honestly, it might be more. Probably. It's like a hundred and twelve. Yeah, new record drop for most expensive video game ever manufactured. Anyway, what should we talk about first? Should it be vigilantes? Because I didn't watch that one. Instead, I watched a bunch of invincible, hoping that vigilantes would be bad enough you'd be willing to skip talking about it. Let's see. So fucked this week, dude. Vigilantes was awesome. First off, the episode was called Deus Ex Machina because it was all about all my showing up and saving the Skytree. And therefore he is a Deus Ex Machina because he literally can do whatever he wants. And then he proceeds to do whatever he wants because in this episode, they fly now. And all might does not. They fly now. He jumps really far. But in this one, he literally carries the Sky egg back down to the ground. Does not have the ability to do that. Just has super strength. He flattens an entire park, saves all the animals, flattens it out with a roller that he gets from like a big concrete roller. He gets from somewhere, saves the Sky egg. And everyone's like, yo, that was dope. But wait, there's a giant Godzilla monster that's all of the suicide bombers and then it blows up into cluster bombs. And then it's like, oh, well, then Scarman's like, well, listen, nobody's going to be able to get all these cluster bombs. There's 200 of them. Nope. All might fucking makes a vortex of wind with a punch. That's all of the exploding fucking cluster bombs destroys them all. Day is saved. Or is it because guess what? Scarman looking over the entire apocalyptic scene that he's created. He's in somebody's. He's in somebody's scope. He's in somebody's crosshair is here. Gets Charlie Kirk fucking shot straight through the shoulder because a bird flashes in front of the guy who's going to shoot him. Who's got the gun? You got it right. It's knuckle duster. Knuckle duster is fucking 250 yards away trying to blow the brains out of a guy who stole his abilities. We get Scarman's backstory. He's an experiment number six. So took the quirk of fucking overdrive. Now he wants to be known as O clock. But no, guess who's not? Guess who's not going to let that happen? Oh, the old O clock is not going to let it happen because the old O clock. Guess what? That's knuckle duster. And then we get the most well animated fucking classic end of the season nonsense and vigilantes because remember last season we got knuckle duster versus his daughter. Yeah, exact same level of quality. Yeah, this motherfucker is blows up a ceiling. He's fallen through the air with a fucking number six. The Scarman, he pulls out a sawn off shotgun. He's blowing his knees off as they fall down the air. And he's like, listen, I'm going to trap you in this building. And then I'm going to take you in for questioning. He's kneecapping this motherfucker to try and like drag him away to keep him alive kind of thing. But guess what? His arms explode because he had the cluster bomb people on him. And then, boom, episode done. Whoa. Yeah. Does he die? I don't know. Whoa. Yeah. What the fuck? Yeah, dude. Vigilantes every now and then is like jump scaring me with the fact that it has some of the best animation. Oh, fuck me. I don't think I watched Hell's Paradise either. Oh, no. Wait, what? No, I did. Oh, thank God. OK, Vigilantes is constantly shocking me with it's just outrageously good animation. Yeah, because yeah, Vigilantes also had a big episode, bigly episode, but Vigilantes was a great classic end of the vigilante season where it's like, hey, by the way, here's your favorite character that we haven't used all season in a sick fight. Crazy. He's just shooting people. He's just Batman with guns, which is just Batman's dad. Yeah. He literally opens up, shoots him like is like about to like blow the brains out of the fucking. I mean, that's think they have fucking. What's his face? The shooting? Yeah, the guy who kneecaps sugar. Yeah, the scope shoot. I forget what his name is. I'm a teacher, but I shoot people. I'm a teacher, but I shoot people. Yes, 100 percent. I watched an episode of Naruto today and it's like all about. It's Chikamaru and Tamaris fighting the tuning exams and like doing like Chikamaru's backstory and like, oh, he fell asleep in class, but it's awesome teaching the class and you're supposed to believe like Chikamaru is the bad guy for falling asleep in class. Well, awesome was actively smoking in an enclosed room of children. Well, it was a different time. It was it was a different, you know what? Listen, yeah, that's, you know, Kotoa's different place. Smoking holds a different level of culture for them. They don't have trains yet. You think they have smoking regulation? Yeah, sure. They sure they have fucking like highly capable televisions, but trains. No, never heard of. They have Bluetooth communication, but trains. We draw the line. The priorities are weird. Yeah, the priorities are very fucking weird. But yes, I love the idea that like the kakashi steps in just like drenched in blood. And he's like, he's like, there's fucking sand ninjas invading. You're smoking in here. Are you fucking teaching children? There's no windows in here. What are you doing? Fucking like smoke outside? We're on the third basement level. Yeah, like these are the bad kids. You still can't smoke in front of them here. That would be awesome. But yeah, so we don't talk about vigilantes. It's just a great dude. Oh, there's also a sequence where like he's, oh, Danny, this episode was dope. Oh, I'll watch it by next week when we rank all the seasons. There's there's a there's a sequence where he's like, he understands that the guy can like slow time. And so because he used to have the quirk, he knows had a battle against him. So he's like, hey, like, like you can like manipulate how slow time goes for you. But the more like it slows down, it's like holding your breath while exercising. And so he's like, sometimes when you activate it on like by like by your own will, it'll be two to ten times slower. But like in emergency situations, you can slow it down even further than that. But you can do it for shorter bursts like when somebody shoots at you. And so like he pulls the trigger and he like shoots a bullet at him. But he has a speaker playing this message at 300 times speed. So like he slows the world down and then he hears it, the speaker for the first time. And he stops to listen to the entire sequence. And at the end, he's like, and then like if you're trying to slow the world down to a 300 times sped up message, you're going to like exhaust your brain, basically. So like he like it's like when Batman like when I'm fucking what's the caveman from? Have you ever seen the DC movie where the caveman was like 10,000 years old uses all of Batman's contingencies to. Owl man. No, I'm not talking about owl man. I'm talking about. Fuck, what's his name? He gets irradiated by a comet, basically. But like he uses all of Batman's contingencies to kill the Justice League. And it's like one of those moments where he's like, I know how to kill the flash, basically. And so like he like runs out of overdrive. And then a fucking nuked up, the blouse of the building and just starts kneecapping him. But then he's like, I know also the best way to stop you from like getting your speed back is concussion and just starts pistol whipping him. And then curb stopping him, just stopping his head with the fucking like the like the heel of his boot. Awesome sequence. Such a good episode. I'm so sad you didn't see it. I'll see you next week. Yes. Next week, we're going to rank every anime every anime we watch this season. So I guess that being said, our number two is definitely not Hell's Paradise. It's probably Sentence the Be a Hero, which also had a very fun episode, but also kind of a nonsense episode. Nonsense. I did. All right. I actually I would love to get into Sentence the Be a Hero because I have some big opinions about this episode. I have some big opinion. All right. Remember last week when you were like, I feel as though they're rushing fire force. OK. Did this episode not feel massively rushed to you? Not every one dies. Everyone dies over the course of a twenty two minute episode. And I'm like, fucking, are we not saving any of like nobody gets in a unique fight? For some reason, Bujum is just like a fucking he turns into Borough from One Punch Man. Yeah, it turns into like a Yu-Gi-Oh card version of Borough. For no reason, either. Like we don't see him transform. We don't understand. It's never stated that this form gives him more power. And like we also just have to understand that that's Bujum. It's never established that it is. I know I briefly was like, oh, did I like space out or something? And then we started talking about poetry. I'm like, oh, that is Bujum. That is him. It's just like he like lets the fucking fairies into the interior part of the city. And then he's like, I have to go battle against Silo. And by the way, I'm spikes now. All right. I'll give you that. It feels a little rushed. Yeah. And also this fight. Am I wrong in saying that like this fight feels like the book ends of the last episode. Don't bookend into this one or the episode previous. Was the last episode like a prequel episode? Because remember two episodes ago, this fight was starting like the sky was red. And tank showed up and he was being awesome. They're like, we're going to take this city. And then the episode after that, everything's nice and sweet. And we meet Rhino. And now we're back to that. And they're like, by the way, the port city is being seized. And you're like, what the fuck does any of this have to do with what we watched the last episode? That's the structure. They were like, oh, we're going to take you away and introduce Rhino because we forgot to do that chronologically. I honestly, that's like kind of like because we need Rhino to fight against Tank. And by the way, Tank is now a part of this city being seized on the. I genuinely think they're just cutting shit out of the manga to try and get as much. I think it's honestly like God of High School, like everyone's biggest complaint with God of High School was like, oh, the animation and like the pacing is like the animation and the fights are really cool. But like we are shoving too much shit inside of this one season. That's fair. I don't know what the pacing of the light novels like. Yeah. Oh, that's what I forgot. It's a light novel, not even a manga. Yeah, and I'm in a manga. Yes, I'm definitely I definitely never find out. I literally have. I will never touch that source material. Um, I mean, I loved this episode, but just because like Sarah was literally sitting next to me on the couch playing Pocopia, obviously. And I just like turned to her when Zylo like ticks the woman into the sky and a Jace Fireball Sir. And I was like, I just love this show so much. That was a sick sequence. But like also like this woman was like, I thought there was so much more for her. I know. I was like, oh, I guess I'll I guess I'll join up with the demon. But like, ah, whoever pays the most and she's got fucking whip arms. And then like, oh, cool. She's here and 30 seconds later, she is ashen. I agree. It does suck that Boojim and that girl get pieced so quickly and tank and tank that sucks. We introduced the one other person who can use artillery and then immediately like tank looks like the end all be all the fucking rifle attached to arm guys. And then for some reason, right? Oh, shoot six bullets and tanks is like, I can't do six. I know, I think he shoots to and then he's like, that was good enough. And four more keep falling. And I guess to exemplify how fast paced this episode feels, Boojim goes, you know, you can't defeat me. And then actually one second later, he goes, it can't be. How are you defeating me? Yes. And then like, by the way, his ability is they never really like talk about what his ability is or what he's the demon blade of. But then he's like tornado hands like he's like purple. And then and then, oh, my God, Danny, oh, I forgot how much the episode pissed me off. They blow up the tower. Why they blow up the tower? Because tanks in it. Tank it. All right. They blow up the tower and then Ryan knows like, don't worry, the tower is going to fall soon. Do they drop it on Boojim? No, he stabs them. Yep. They stab. So by the way, with another with another Holy Sword. Yeah, I know the fact that the Holy Sword disintegrated the first time led me to believe you only get one of them. That's and they say always use it. I think there's multiple Holy I think there's multiple Holy Swords, but there there's clearly not a fucking like small amount of them. Yeah. So we can like it's it's sure it's a finite resource, but we have them really whenever we want my beef, too. Because I went, hold up. And then they blow up the tower and the fucking ocean rushes in, right? And then Zylos like, give it up, Boojim, you're done. Why? Why is he? Why is the ocean? And then Boojim's just standing in knee high water and he's like, I'm OK. Why is he OK? And then it really felt like the episode ended like out of nowhere. Like it just stopped like this was supposed to be an hour long episode or something. It bothered me, too, that like Boojim and that other girl felt like they had so much more to give and then they're like defeated so quick. But it also bothers me that I don't feel like Zylos had to like learn a thing to do it. Nope. He just like was always better. Yes. 100% like he just always he had the Holy Sword, of course, but it wasn't like. But he did that last time. I guess he worked together with Chase. But like also, if he was able to get that close to her, just cut her head off, right? You know, hundreds of could just stabbed her right in the eye. Yep. Oh, but like why not kick her up and fucking watch her get cindered? I mean, it was objectively sick. It was sick for sure. But yeah, I guess it's like. I wish he discovered something like mid fight about himself or like about the opposition. But I guess the idea is that he starts the season, you know, oh, it's just got to be me. I'm not even going to work with a goddess. And then now we're ending the siege with like a full team. You know, it's like he learned to work with people. I guess. I mean, it's just but it is it is. It was nuts. The pacing was nuts. It was fast. I like the bit where I know is like, is I like I talked to you for a second. And he's like, for sure. What's up, man? And he's like, which civilians should die first? Yeah, I was like, but also like, why is he even asking that? Like, is he asking that like if we're going to get attacked? I guess they're still sieging. I guess. I was thinking like, he's like, which one of these guys are cannon fodder? And we're like, I don't fucking and then and then he's not even and then he's not even with them. Yeah, it's not even with the fucking he leaves them. He's like, hey, teach these guys how to use the lightning spears. And then like, hey, by the way, I taught Totsia how to use a lightning spear. Don't ask where anybody else is. It was crazy speaking of Reina. And what's going on with the uncle? The uncle, TV is uncle, like that had a real fucking and glorious bastard's moment where I think he said, like, I all hail the wrong saint or something. TV is fucking hunting her like her uncle down. Yeah. And she started bugging about it. And then also she's recruiting the Zylos fiance for something. Yeah. I'm fucking I'm up. It's great without a paddle. I have no idea what's happening in this fucking show. Lots happening. What do you want from me? I don't know. You're it's. I don't have the answer. It's the biggest writer. I figured you would have done some research. I don't have the answer. I didn't read it. I read fucking five volumes of kingdom. I watched a fucking an episode of Invincible and what? I was ugly covers. I was going to say a lot. I was like, does every kingdom, does every kingdom manga covers have the baddest woman you've ever seen? And then the and then volume four is what appears to be a pineapple ham. It's a rum ham. Of course, it's a it's fucking Danny DeVito finally having the balls to wear a rum ham. Also only one is this egg being. What is their ugly covers? I said that egg burn on the back. You're on the back of all of them. No, OK, for a fucking rum hams made another appearance. Only one of them is a woman. It's the one you think it's this one naturally because her armor points arrows towards a core. Yeah. I've been reading. We made that armor. You asked for oh, you didn't want to have nipples to that bitch. I read five volumes of Kingdom. I watched an episode of One Piece. I watched three hours of Invincible content. And then you know, I didn't read a light novel. You turned your brain off and you're like, yeah, Zylot, you see what he kicked that girl into the fireball. He said, stay back and eat through daggers. I don't know. I'm constantly confused what's happening and sentence be a hero. But I like it a lot. And I see Slop. Yeah, no, it's better than that. But he's Slop. Fucking yeah, maybe I'll get in the light novels. Let's see if they're good, but this is sick. And you won't. I won't. I'm baffled. You're reading Kingdom. Do you think? Well, people say Kingdom gets really good at chapter 50. And I'm about to get there. Is this fucking? Oh, who's this? Is that Lou Boo? Oh, that guy's awesome. I send you pictures of him. I know he. I don't know their names. I like can't retain Chinese names for some reason. They're hard. I know the lead characters name is a Jin, like XIN. Yep. Um, that's genuinely it. Good. It's a lot of like it's like, um, it's kind of crazy that this is a Japanese story of a Chinese story. I mean, you didn't say that about Vinland Saga. You damned racist. Now, that's a good point. Now, that's good. That's a good point. That's good. That's good. This is just Vinland Saga. This is just Vinland Saga, but Chinese. It's more like one piece than Vinland Saga in the sense that like in that, it's the longest fuck. Well, it's longest fuck and Vinland Saga will have like like Thorkel will punch a horse into the sky. Yes. But everyone acknowledges is that's crazy. Yeah. Good. It's because he's tall. He's big. Yeah. Um, this like Vinland Saga, every like seven volumes, you'll get like a crazy feat like that. Yeah. Like a dude gets like vivisected. Yeah. This is like every other chapter. Somebody's doing like a fantastical nonsense. Good. It's not as historical as you think. What's the what's the games, the Chinese games where everyone's got like sick hair? Dynasty Warriors. Yeah, I was going to say, you're just like fucking like you like kill like 400 people every time you swing your blade. It's like that. Like the lead character of this is a big kind of loofy guy. He's not as silly as loofy, but he's like, you know, a 12 year old who's the best warrior ever because he's scrappy. Okay. Yeah. And nobody else had ever thought to be scrappy. Yeah, exactly. That's the difference between him. Everyone was like, we have to be we have to be realistic with how we fight. He was like, I'm going to bounce. No one in the history of anything has ever tried before. No, yeah. And that's the thing he was like, I'm just going to I'm just going to work out some times. That's like Austin Black Clover. You know, you also could have anti magic and be the strongest being if you did pushups. I'm just the first guy who thought of it. Just get on. Austin's fucking what's it called? Gear. Fuck yeah. Dick fucking Mamosa and Noel are both trying. Get on. Austin's what was that thing? Everyone was into it's work. It's like working out competitively. Hirox. No, but CrossFit CrossFit. Yes. It's just the new version of CrossFit and it's worse. Great. Yeah. Get on his CrossFit regimen. Every guy has to be shirtless doing it. Like they literally cannot wear a shirt doing it. I love when CrossFit happened and people were like, yeah, it's better because there's no weights. And it's like, we'll just do weights. Yeah. I don't fucking I don't I'm just going to go run and lift weights occasionally. Thank you very much. But yeah, Kingdom School, it's gets really good, in my opinion, around like, I'd say like volume three is like the Baratier arc. OK, in terms of like, where fish? No, there's no fish. But where it's like, oh, this is getting really good. But other Kingdom fans will be like, no, like get to alabasta. OK, chapter 50 is like the alabasta. I'm not there yet. How many volumes is there? There's like, not there's like 800 chapters, right? So at least like 80. Many volumes of King. There's only five translated right now. There's only five translated. You're caught up. Yeah. Well, I'm on five, five just shipped to me. How were people reading that? I don't know. That's translation 78 volumes. Yeah, there's some like 790 chapters. Kingdom's so weird because it's from 2006 and it's just now getting like every month they release a new English volume. And they've been doing it for five months. That's so I just I why like, why is it just now catching? Because the anime is also like on its fifth season. Yeah, the anime has been going on for like a minute. Oh, well, I guess the anime. Why aren't you reading the anime? Watching the anime. Yeah, it's like CGI. Oh, gotcha. Looks not great. All right, should we talk about fucking? I don't even know, dog. What vigilantes? Should we talk about man, fire force? Yeah, fire force. Because nothing really happens. Just a big nothing happens. The world ends. The world does objectively end, but there's not like a fight. Obi dies. Obi I forgot. Nothing happens. There's not a fight. Or the issue with anime fandom. The biggest sentence to be a hero fan. Maybe I'm also armed. Mine has the long range extension. That was the biggest twist I've ever experienced. My life. You also picking up a sigh really shivered me to this. This is fucking mutually assured destruction here, baby. There's a reason we split the sigh up. How dare you? I'm sorry. I forgot. I forgot sister Lily gets impaled. Yeah, this episode of Freerun didn't have a fight. So basically nothing happened. She's smooth. This episode of Freerun did have a fight. I don't remember what happened. There were slicing and dicing dragons like nobody's tomorrow. Oh, yeah, they did fight a flight of dragons. I forgot that. I didn't actually not even forgot. That was never knowledge I knew. I didn't know a pack of dragons was called a flight. I also, yeah, I made a note of that news to me. But yeah, well, I guess we'll talk. I thought it was called a schmugel, a schmugel of dragons. Naturally, that's what fucking Scarman was before. Let's talk about. Isn't a schmugel the small thing from Google? For Final Fantasy. Let's talk about what we were just saying. Oh, Fire Force. Oh, yeah, because a lot happened, but it's fast. Yeah, Fire Force is hurtling towards the end of 13 episodes. And then it's done. And we are, I think this was episode 11. I get it. Core show of Fire Force. Show it. Let me see. Show it. I'm showing it. You know what I'm talking about? No. From back at the barnyard. Back, of course. Back at the barnyard. He's like, do you get the drinks? And he like pulls up a six pack of beer or whatever. Uh-huh. And he and these are cows. Do you know what back of the barnyard is? I know what back of the barnyard is. He's like, he's like, you got the drinks. He's like, I got them right here. And he's like, show it there. I didn't show it there. I'll show you. OK, good. I am talking about, yes, we're talking about episode 11 of Core 2 of season three. That being said, so it's like episode 25. Or episode 23 out of 25. There's going to be 25 episodes. We have two more left. And so this is a big episode that focused. OK, let's do it. Show it. Show it. Wow, that is an unreal representation of just hanging out with the boys. Also, it's not beer. It's milk. It's milk. Which is just as weird for cows as it is for. That would be like, hey, you bring this stuff and your buddy pulled out a six pack of breast milk. And we're like, show it. Show. Titty milk. Yeah. That is just water to them. What are you going to do? Suck your own. Show it. Well, because at first I was like, just drink your own milk. And then I was like. Every pregnant woman, show them. Show them. First I was like, drink your own milk. And then can you imagine if you can think of a worse insult to just like pull out a pocket out of nowhere than like some someone's pissing you off. And I go, drink your own milk. Thank you. Do you fucking? Yes. Suck your own titty asshole. That's good. I like that. Yeah. Anyway, that's getting baked into my vernacular. Show. Show it. It's right. Ish. Oh, yeah. So this is episode 23 of season three of Fire Force. Yeah. A lot happens. Obi gets fucking turned into a pes dispenser. Dude, just the most slit throat of all slit throats just I know they show a side profile and it goes like to his spine. And that's probably the only way you would actually be able to kill Obi is like you got to cut to the fucking spinal cord. That was crazy. Then the world ends. Uh, everyone dies. Everyone dies. Ossakuza dies last because it's Japan and everyone gets it. Everyone gets a second to celebrate in Ossakuza because they're Japanese. Yeah. But then everybody else dies a horrific death. Shinra and his brother Joe Joe Joe. The meat. How may I how may I and she's like dog. Your girl's dead. Yeah. Amitras is dead. Yeah. Sister Lily's just getting the fucking like she's getting like the original Dracula punishment here. She's getting the Vlad Dracula fucking like hang weights off your ankles while I split you down the middle of the log here treatment. Super dead. There's a nails in the toes will get you. Yeah, it's nails and toes that will get you. But that's why you just pull your feet off naturally. But yeah, it's fucking crazy. We get to see like how may I basically just get God like powers here. Yeah. The love motif about like oh how humans made gods. Like it's like oh humans like the collective unconscious made the concept of God. And now because she's the embodiment of that unconscious she actually becomes a God. I thought that was kind of sick. Yeah. Um, and then I just I loved like I love this show has a big the most central point is about like religion and how like religion like it's like oh like we like gods can always be a good thing naturally. But like God's lead to death. That was like basically the whole story is like hey like like religion can lead you to in some incredible places to lead you to like do incredible things. But usually it leads to death. Yeah. Like it leads to separation says my God's better than your God and then war tears the world asunder. And that is basically with the ending of Fire Force is trying to hammer home. And I thought that was really cool. But yes. So we get Captain Obie's dead. We get did you like Shinra's rage moment. Yeah. When he sees Sister Lily and then he sees Obie's fucking. He did not kind of wild that he got way more upset about Obie than he did about like his possible future girlfriend. Just getting spit roasted. I know especially with just how like graphic her death was. Yes. But yeah I loved his rage moment. I'm seeing if I have notes on it. But it was hype. Oh them trying to hit her is so funny. Yeah. Do you like that? I would just like her hair just like breezing. They can't hit her and they're like fucking like freaking out on her like a like Piccolo and Trunks trying to hit Broly. Yeah. In that clip where he's like. Yeah. He's just fucking weaving them. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well what do you want from me. I'm the one who said nothing happened. Well wait and here we are. We don't have all that much to talk about because the episode's just people that you thought were going to survive to the end of the story dying. Yeah. It's a lot of like that God stuff. It's not that God bullshit. And fucking religion or shit. And then a bunch of crazy shit happens at the very end. Yes. So now that you've seen that Arthur is still alive. What does that make you feel about like the ending of this story? Like you're like I don't love that he's still alive. OK. Because like boy oh boy is there not a lot of it. It's not much of them. But I guess if we're doing all the imagination shit and also how may I is like I am how may I and Benny Mario are both like I'm as strong as I am because you say I am. Yes. If I may quote our wise prophet I am whatever you say I am if I wasn't then why would I say I am. Yes. Yeah. In the paper the news every day I am. Don't just say I am obviously that's coming up. I know the song. It's not impressive that you know the I am. The lyrics just aren't coming to me until you get to that part. It's like fuck it. I am whoever you say I am if I wasn't why would I say I am in the paper the news every day I am fuck. What's the next part drama M&M. I am Sam I am great exit ham radio won't even play my jam. Stop it. I know it's not a credit. You know I'm not taking credit. I'm co-opting. I know I'm fucking I'm not taking your credit. I'm just fucking you're leading me you're leading the horse of the water and I'm drinking and then he goes I don't know it's just the way I am. I didn't say no. Are you happy. Yeah. Wow. You've suppressed my voice. No. You've literally I'm being silenced. The right a white man says into a microphone. Yeah. So that's that's not bad. But again, as always, I hate death baiting and like I was so blown away by the fact that Arthur dies. Yes, you know, I did and do expect all of these characters to die because the world is ending and I know it turns into like a goofy coloring book world. Yes. The world has literally been engulfed in black flames and we've watched every character light up like a fucking like a tinder box. I know there's really no way to do this. And maybe I said this before. I can't believe all the main characters of this show don't turn into weapons in soul. You know what do you mean? Like it should be sick if they were like the twisters. Yeah, like if the twist is that Shinro was like the awful sword Krona uses. I guess. I mean, like we do get the connection right because Arthur is the first wielder of Excalibur. Yeah, right. Like because we see the little toy. Yes, and the little toy. But like we see that like the hilt of the blade, like whatever Excalibur is actually shown in Soul Eater. That's what it literally looks like. Like whenever he actually turns into a weapon, that's what it looks like. And so like Arthur is the first wielder of Excalibur, but you want him to turn into Excalibur. No, that'd be kind of sick. They were like, he just like believed so hard that like he was the wielder of Excalibur that he just turned into sentient Excalibur. That'd be awesome. Yeah, I mean, no, that would be really cool. Do you think everyone's going to stay dead? That's the real question. Now that Arthur is still alive. I wanted them to. Uh huh. I don't know. I really don't know how this series ends and becomes Soul Eater. And people are alive. It's wacky. I'll tell you right now. It's a real wacky ending to a story. It's insane. Oh, let's say like become the Soul Wavelengths or something. They have to become the power system somehow. I think you don't want any of the characters from Fire Force to exist. By the time it becomes Soul Eater. Yeah. Unless they become death or something. That would be any more. It was death. Yeah, that would be really cool. Yeah, I would be sick. I would like that a lot. Cool. All right. So I guess we'll just have to wait. I mean, Fire Force is going to be a thing that probably extends the furthest out of any of the shows we watch because everything else this season is ending. Freerun's ending next week. JJK is ending next week. Vigilantes, I think is actually already done. Might be done. JJK, like I said, one more episode. Sentence, one more episode. Hell's Paradise, one more episode. So we get two more out of Fire Force. We'll be carrying that into the next season a little bit. But yeah, fun episode, but definitely a lot going on. Maybe too much. Maybe too much pacing. I don't know. I haven't noticed it like being that drastic of Fire Force. As somebody who's read the manga, it's just a hectic as fuck ending. Like it's like it's happening kind of quick, but not like I'm like, oh, my God, I'm overwhelmed compared to the manga. I've only noticed this week and last week just because it's a lot of like, oh, and then Joker fights his guy and then Obi's dead. And this, you know, by the way, fucking like Leonard Burns is back for like twelve, twelve minutes. There we see him again this episode. He gets swallowed by the does. All he does is yeah, just get swallowed by fucking Adola. And it's like, you might as well have just stayed in Adola. Yeah. Fuck it. You're already back there. Cool. Should we talk about best episode of the week was probably. Don't do this. Notch Mojo wouldn't do it. Watch if watch Mojo wouldn't do it, then fucking. How could we? How could I? Do you want to talk about? You want to talk about JJK? That's crazy. You want to? You say you don't want to talk about it. You know what's about JJK? Oh, look, you take the lead on this week. I would say that Hell's Paradise in free. You're better than JJK. Better than JJK this week. I get my free run notes here. We could do. I could also do free run because it's another. It's another. Hey, you remember him. Oh, great guy episode. I mean, where are my free run notes? Did I not? Oh, I took one. I took one. It I always take the most useless fucking notes OK for a man with no memory. Yes. What was your note? Uh, do you have any grimoires? One, a very useless one that I'll take it. Yeah, every time, baby. Every why is why is the grimoire that I guess because they're probably valuable if they're like, it's like, hey, this teaches you fireball. Yeah. But like, who's who's writing the grimoire for fucking like, hey, tongue twisters no longer affect you? By the way, I love that fucking grimoire. My thing about that is like, I get that it'd be a spell. Who's writing like a 600 page novel about it? I don't know. I don't know. It's a whole ass book. I don't get why it takes so much information to like learn this one like tongue twisters are difficult. And here's how you beat them kind of trick. I wonder if it's like a JJK style contract where it's like. The reward for completing a book is the spell. So not maybe the spell doesn't even have to be related to the book. It's like, if I gave you crime and punishment and it was like, read that and you can shoot fire out of your eyeballs. I'd fucking absolutely do it, but like, I wouldn't enjoy it. Our brains have been warped by RPGs because it's like, oh, you go to like a you go to a bookshelf and either like Baldur's Gate through your skyrim. Right. As long as you eat it, you get this. Oh, yeah. As long as you flip through the three pages that is this book, you get like plus one to your charisma. Yeah. And it's like, it's like, oh, hey, I guess like spell tomes probably take. But it's like, probably like, you know, when you like look up a recipe and it's like, here's why Cheddar Bay biscuits mean the world to me. When I was 12 years old, my mother taught me this recipe and you have to scroll past 400 ads in a fucking life story. Did like be like, OK, it is one tablespoon of fucking baking powder. You bitch. Can I steal that for a tick top? So right. And I really need to know if there's anyone out there who's like, I just love the autobiographies in recipes. So I hate that with book reviews, too, where people are like a little context about me and I'm like, I don't give a shit. How was it? Yeah, I fucking you were the first thing that came up on like, I mean, this book reviewed, shut up and review it. Yeah, like I I get the idea that it's like some context for this review. But like also, if I just read a bunch of your reviews, I'll get the context. You know, I'll be like, oh, he likes, you know, books a through J and hated books and an M. Our opinions don't align because I liked N and M. Yes. Anyway. I guess we're talking about Freren right now. Yes, we are. I think this was worse than JJK. I'm willing to I'm willing to see that point because this was they fought some dragons and the animations great. I mean, they just diced up some drag. Who are I have a question for you? Yeah. Do you think Stark hates dragons more than Freren hates demons? No, no. You think Stark just like exterminates directly as a cockroach is almost like I was somebody's got to take care of because I think dragons are akin to like. I think I think it's worse because demons have like a human level of intelligence and sentience. And Freren sees them as like bugs and pests, whereas dragons have like, I'd say, probably like a wolf pack. Yeah. Level of intelligence and sentience and Stark sees them as wolves. Yeah. And he's like, fucking like they're dangerous. We got to get rid of them. But like respect them a little bit here. But Freren's like, I fucking thought she's like the punisher. She's like, I'll do it again. Yeah. I love killing demons. Freren loves it. Demons are to Freeren what the back of twice's neck is to Hawks. Oh, I just fucking inviting and war. But you just like, oh, hit me with a sharpest feather blade you've ever seen in your life. Yeah. So there was a great fight, some just really cool. Stark shit. I have a question. Oh, yeah. It's Stark's name. Stark or Stark? Stark, there's an Asian there. Not in the subtitles. Not in the way that it's spelt, but it's they just hammer that. I don't know. There's a sharpie in eight, but it is like they say Stark. They're real hard in the dub. Yeah. Yeah. We get some great animation from him. And then, yeah, the second half is like. Pretty cool. There is some cool shit here where she finds a like a journal that him or wrote. Yeah. And so she replays some of these memories that obviously she only had her own perspective of. And you get him or his POV. And you get his POV and that is really cool that she gets to like see these memories through him. And then there's a great moment where she's like flimmed through the pages and they stop and she like flips her a couple more. Here is where. The the freer in isms are butting heads with like what I want again. OK. I wish either she cried. Finally, like that'd be a great moment to get her to like actually cry. End game. That's like the one piece, you know, like when she like sees him or again in the northern plateau, that's like breakdown. I'm so sorry. That's the one piece. That's fair. I'll agree with that. Then I wish you like flip through a couple and like gauged just like a. Yeah. You know, like something other than she just gives her like classic freer and smile where she's like, yeah, the world is perfect except for the demons. Yeah. You know, like. And I felt like deflated by that because it was a really setting up. Like, I guess that's my only thing is it's like it was a great moment. That literally gives freer in a different angle on her memories. But it doesn't really give the audience a different angle on any of these themes. Like we didn't learn anything new about him or from getting his POV. Yeah. It's just like, well, we kind of do. Well, it's not from his POV. We learned that like, oh, he always took like he always took something from the people he saved so that they were always like he saved them not to be paid. So he saved them to be like, hey, I don't want them like we're the hero. We're the hero party. I want them to never feel as though they owe us like it's even like we saved your daughter, but you gave us some useless grimoire or a notebook. Right. But he told Freeran that with his lips and mouth. Yes. And then Freeran gets access and it is cool that he like uses the shit they're paid with. Like he's like, pay us in something useless. I don't care. I'll find use of it. And then he writes the journal. But in her getting access to like his inner thoughts. Yeah, I wish we learned something that we couldn't get from her memory because that's what's so valuable about the journal is that like all we know about him. Is what people are telling us. Yeah, this is the only time we get like first perspective, raw, actual. What do you call primary source him? Yeah. And so it should be something new. You want it. You want like a like a lore dump or something. I guess you kind of get it because like you see like a lot of like his POV falls on paying attention to Freeran. So like you get like the oh, like the end of like the things like you like she's reading, right? And it's usually the mundane things that like she's reliving. So it's like fucking like Hyder being knocked out unconscious, like drunk kind of thing or just like Freeran sitting under a tree, that kind of thing. So it would be cool to like see a recollection of like a Freeran and like him old date or something like, oh, new lore just dropped. It's not even that. It's not that unlike, oh, I want a new scene. It doesn't have to. I don't want it to be this dark. You want it. You want a sequence of like him or like just like fucking a prostitute. It's like he's like a whole these like stretching her ears out to make her look like an elf. You're like, I want to learn. I'll learn the dark gritty secrets about him. Yeah, it's not that I want it to be something dark, but like something equivalent of like, oh, I didn't know this about him. And I couldn't know this without reading the journal. I guess. And I get like what you're saying makes sense. That like, sorry, we don't have any grim wass. It's like, I'll take your ear then. This is like a child's ear off. Yeah, these dumb assholes gave me a book. You know how many goblins I slaughtered? There are many fucking books for your has read. She's halfway through one to turn white eggs into brown eggs. I can't fucking with the books anymore. That's like chapter one. I'm so sick of this girl. Yeah. I don't fucking like you live forever. That's the worst part. But yeah, it was just like a missed opportunity, I feel like that like fizzled into like a eye roll of like, oh, Dada dump, you know, rather than like an actual hard hitting kind of moment. I guess you want fucking trauma. No, you don't listen sometimes when I talk about you're in. I don't listen when I talk about freedom specifically. Yeah, I refuse to. I know. You can't say bad things about I'll give a I'll give like a take. And they're like, oh, you want this opposite. You want I'm being cognitively dissonant. Yeah, you're not listening. Yeah, I'm fucking I'm la la la maxing. Yeah, I know it's not. I understand. I can't understand what you're saying. I it's like he was it doesn't even get us, man. It doesn't even get us. Yeah, dude, it's just you. It is sometimes I'm doing the fucking always sunny when Charlie when they're bitching about Charlie to Charlie. And he's like, it doesn't even get us. Yeah. Oh, but yeah, no, I mean, like I do. I do understand because it would be cool. It is the first time they like everything about him always introspective, like through the medium of freeing, because she's the only person to know. Look, you don't have to agree. I'm just saying, don't be like, oh, you want him or banging a prostitute. I'm trying to make funny fucking jokes over here. Dog, I'm yorking on right now. You liked it. You thought it was all good. I thought it was great. I literally, my last note was, I got I needed a slow episode because it was just a free run. Like free runs great, but it's kind of like it's I don't want to compare it to spy families. It's obvious it's much better than spy family. But spy family will occasion. I don't know about obviously. I very much obviously better than spy family. How dare you? My family is good. I don't know. Freeruns a masterpiece. I think spy family is pretty fucking great. My family. First off, where are you in the spy family story? Season one. Does it get worse? I get little. That's the point I was trying to make, Danny, is that they get into like in like, I think it might have been season two, like late season two. They get into like a we're on a boat now, Ark. That's like seven episodes long. And like, oh, it's cool to see them do a story occasionally. But then you're like, I want to get back to on you, trying to figure out how to not get caught cheating on a test here. Right. I got to I got to get back to the fucking good old stuff. And the freerun has the tournament, Ark. Yeah, I'm like that arc was great. But then after that, I was like, I want to hear about him all in bad grimoires for a little bit here. I need the palette cleanser. I need that and that pickled ginger, you know. Well, I agree that like once freerun starts doing like high budget animation, like big intense fights, episode episode, part of me was like, oh, don't start like caving to the to the solo leveling crowd. Exactly. Don't start being like the fight anime now just because people bullied you. There's still a fucking journey. I want to be on the journey, please. And thank you. They're also like, they're so bad at journeying. Every every town they stop and like, I will spend a couple of months here. They're slow. I'm like, these guys are these fucking children have finite lives here. They're being the 30s by the time. I mean, I guess like the original heroes expedition took 10 years. I guess in the grand scheme, things are moving pretty fast. I don't I don't know how big the I don't know. They're not aging. I mean, like, yeah, like they really aren't. It's been like a year at least. But then I guess like, OK, Fern is now 16, as opposed to 15. How different is she going to look? I guess you can track it every episode's like X amount of years since him will died. Yeah. Oh, well, but it's been 30 for a fucking note. Has it been? I think it hasn't. I don't remember. I think it's been like 27 of originally. It's definitely 30 now. Yeah. Like, like, Freerin's been with Fern for years because she spends years with Heider. Yeah. So but like then start when the journey start. Yeah. Stark doesn't come around until like they've been like until Fern's aged up a fair amount. Yeah. Cool. All right. Fine. Now we can talk about JJK then or should we talk about Hell's Paradise? I love you. Let's talk about listen. Only one of these episodes has boobs. That's my take. Only one of these episodes has boobs and Hell's Paradise has multiple sets of boobs. So I'm going to have to give Hell's Paradise episode of the week, which means we're talking about JJK. OK. JJK. Great. Another another great episode. But boy, oh, boy. Am I starting to understand what you're saying about Tengen? Shutting the fuck up. This was the worst one. This was the worst. God, Tengen, shut the fuck up. Dude, it is incessant. It is talking for the sake of fucking talking. This is my first note is shut the fuck up. And then I wrote, this is the most egregious JJK in the whole series so far. Oh, my God, dude, it doesn't fucking in. It's just it's so many words to say fucking nothing. It is literally what Tengen is trying to say in the beginning of this episode is fucking by the way, Megamy's domain expansion doesn't have a sure hit effect. Yeah, that's it. Megamy's domain is incomplete and therefore doesn't have a sure hit effect. And because it doesn't have a sure effect, you know what Megamy can do? He can just beat the piss out of Reggie, who's trying to stop the sure hit effect. He's like, listen, Megamy is punching Reggie. I'm watching it. Just say we don't have a sure effect and that hollow wicker basket. But he's like, Reggie is using hollow wicker basket because hollow wicker basket happened before the simple domain was created by the new shadow style school. But Reggie doesn't know is that even though we've seen other domains that there's a sure hit effect and that's why Meg, Gojo tried to use it and other people tried to do it. Like, dude, oh my God, I don't care. I don't care. I'm fucking trying to watch a 400 year old source to get a shit pushed in by a 17 year old emo. To be fair, though, you're the reason that Gege does this kind of shit. I did not use specifically. I didn't make a JTK content when this part of the manga came out. I'm not saying you specifically arrogant prick. I mean, people like you. You. So. Um, I'm saying people like you were like, why did wicker basket? Actually, why is that able to counter blah, blah, blah? I explain it. I know you're saying, you're like, no, you're wrong. First off, you're wrong. Wrong. I exist specifically because JJK over complicates everything. So everybody reads JJK and goes, oh, pretty colors. Because like, if you try to read it, you get more confused. Right. And so I have to sit down and be like, listen, it's not as hard as you think it is. Gege just makes it way too complicated. Yeah. At one point it's like the average West African elephant weighs about 3,000 pounds if it eats this much macadamia nuts, like as it's crushing him. And I'm like, I know it's heavy. I know it's like causing his femur to crack slightly. It's so it's fucking what's it called? Blood laser, it's convergence. Yeah, but what's like when they're like, oh, hey, these. All over again. I'm like, just say he's losing a lot of blood. Just say the elephants. Don't say the elephants heavy. I know it implicitly that I cannot lift a fucking elephant and neither can this man who's wearing receipts for clothes. Reggie going like this. This sucks. That's enough. It's not even just an elephant. It's called a maximum elephant. It's the most elephant one can get. The most elephant you could possibly throw on a man covered in receipts. Yeah. And they're like, hey, by the way, this 17 year old boy, I know he's got a fucking abs that he could wash clothes on. But like, I believe it or not, he can't hold three commuter vehicles. No surprise for me, dog. It was so funny. Um, I wrote. Reggie being able to issue commands seems kind of bullshit. Yeah, it's bullshit. So stupid. That's so stupid. It's the dumbest aspect of his entire Kersh technique. He's like, not only can I fucking summon all these things and like there. The way that it's explained is that Kersh energy can be used to control inanimate objects and like that has always been kind of true. But it's like, oh, by the way, Reggie can tell a car to go up and you're like a fucking what? I know. That he and it's so it could be so much simpler. Reggie could just say, hey, there's no buoyancy in here. But like one of the cars that I like, I bumped into one of the cars in the shadow and I use that car to push myself up. Like there's no boy and there's no buoyancy in space. But like if you push against something, you can push your own weight somewhere. Yeah. If you just kicked off it, yeah, I'd buy that. I'd be like, I have strong legs. But it was like, hey, the cars that I called that fell into your shadow. I didn't give a command to because I have to give the command for them to disappear. And so I was able to give it the command to float. It helps explain why he was so good at surfing. See, makes the surf boring. Go surf. Is the command be fucking the tele slater? Like that's ridiculous. I thought that was silly. It's like in the live action death note movie. Spoilers for that, because I know you haven't seen it. They add a rule to the death note kind of. Light. So, you know how in death note lore, you can kind of manipulate your target after you write the name. Yeah, you can be like, he walks into the back. Like he walks into the bathroom and slices his throat with, you know, a razor blade. In the live action movie, light writes in the death note like. So like Misa will throw will write a name in the death note and then throw the page. That page will fall into a burning trash can or fall into a trash can, which is lit on fire by a nearby homeless man. Like he manipulates all of reality and that's just cosmic control. That it's crazy how the death note movie ends and shatters the rules. But yeah, Misa throws the page, which is immediately atomized from a local nuclear explode like what? That's that's how fucking this felt where it's like I got that he was like throwing items at him. I thought it was just like when you burn it, you can just like send to the direction. Yeah, I didn't know he could like after the car gets summoned, you can be like, oh, you know what? Up that absurd. So that's funny. Absolutely absurd. And then there is a lot of like debate online right now because somebody asked the question. If like Reggie got his hands on the receipt for like the Hiroshima bomb or the Louisiana purchase, could he just throw like Louisiana, not even just Louisiana. That's like a third of the United States at like Megami. And the answer is like, people are like yes and no. Right. So like I'm of the opinion that Reggie or his host, the person that he was like put into has to buy the thing that he like brings out because like Jiu Jitsu needs rules. But people were like, oh, we probably just like because like there's no stores open inside of the Culling Gate. So people are probably fished through the trash for a bunch of these receipts. And it's like that's also kind of a caveat, but it's just like not a good enough one for I summon car and also control car. Well, yeah, so people have mentioned that like he's only been around for like two weeks. So yeah, to steal all of these. Yeah. But also he also is in somebody else's body. And so like there's a theory that Kenjaku specifically put him in the body of a rich man who bought a bunch of things. Oh, that's interesting and has really good taxes. Yeah, yeah, well, you have to. I guess when you're fucking when you're super rich, you got to make sure the IRS, well, they're in Japan. They don't even have the IRS. I don't have to die. That's just the States, baby. Do you keep all your receipts? Fuck no. Yeah, no, it's all digital now. Well, exactly. Yeah. But Reggie needs some physical. Yeah. Well, when you were like, when you have a lot of money, you better keep your receipts. And I started to sweat. Yeah, please. I threw out every receipt for all of my spider people. Oh, I did. Um, but as long as you made videos about them, that's tax right off right there. Maybe. Exactly. That's why that's why I keep getting fucking unboxing videos of your bendable spider people. That's exactly why. Um, but here's the thing about the Louisiana purchase, right? You're like, could he throw all Louisiana? He didn't throw a spa. What? What do you mean he didn't throw? Well, he, because he bought. I think it. Because he bought a stay at the spa. If he had bought the spa. He throws. Cause he throws that. He throws a fucking house. But I think the Louisiana purchase. Here's the thing. So the other argument is that because. Like, you know how Megami is like, Oh, summoning max elephant is more cursed energy than all the other shikigami because it's bigger and it's more powerful. He probably doesn't have the cursed energy to throw fucking a quarter of the and even if he did, it would kill him as well. A medium. It would flatten Japan. It would just destroy all of Japan. Can I gush about Megami a bit? I don't know. Dude, like going from a guy whose character design I hated in season one. I don't like his hair. I think he has dumb hair. They just turned him in and told you this episode. Second, his hair got wet. Stellar. Yeah. Game misses. Toji so much. We all do, brother. Yeah. Um, hated his hair. I don't like the JJK like school uniform, just in general. Yeah, it's a lot. It's very basic. Um, but like this dude is climbed through the weeds. He's came up the ranks. He's like right with Aki and Anosuke for like my favorite of the like black haired edgy trio member because he's so fucking cool. This episode and the whole arc. I love where he's like, he's like, my shadows all around us and Max elephant drops. Yeah, that's hard. I love that the dog fucking does something you led me on. I was I supposed to tell you what happened? No, I know. But last week we're you're like the dog does nothing. He sucks. He's useless. I love that Megami lies and kills. Oh, yeah. Um, like Hawks, the coward bastard. Hawks that coward loser who killed our precious hero twice. Of that we're like a weird Alex Jones podcast for two. You're like twice Patriot Hawks coward. Um, that was sick. This has maybe one of the best hand to hand beat downs I've ever seen. That shower sequence is awesome. I know I'm obnoxious and I've asked you this before. Where does this like rank in all time? Just like gritty backyard brawl beat down. I was like this. So leading up to this, like it's very much like the fight is a moves encounter moves fight where it's like, oh, like if I drop into a shadow, like, will I be able to breathe? What would the buoyancy be like? And then he's like, I'm going to drop a house on Megami. And then Megami's like, I know there's a pool under here. So I'm going to drop us both in there and then all your receipts are going to be soaked. That like, and if that's the entire fight, it would be exhausting. But then they just climb out. They both just climb out of the pool and they're like, fucking, we both got them. You know, like we both have these. Lots of use of and then my God, do they? It is a gritty fight. What do you mean in terms of like what rephrase the question? Because we've had a few just beat down brawls. Yes, like the the fucking thrombosis fight. Yes, where they're just in the bathroom. UG versus my toe and the train station. Yeah, like out of all the gritty, like it's Saint Patrick's Day. Back of an Irish pub style brawls that this has given us. Where does this rank? This remember this season also had one. I forget where it probably UG versus Hikari when Hikari is just trying to chop them. When Hikari is like just like fucking like literally like train door chopping him. This is shorter than a lot of the beatdowns we had in JJK, but it's just got like raw appeal. Because like the reason that it's got the same appeal as like UG versus Jozo is that it's the same lighting. It's like dark blue lighting and the camera's swapping all that. It's fish eyed. It's fish eyed. And you're just like, holy fucking shit. Like they're just throwing like flying knees at each other. That part was awesome. Yeah. I would say it's top. I'd say it goes UG Jozo, Miguel Gojo. Man, Miguel. Gojo. Miguel Gojo. Zero. Dude, that is just it's just it's just Gojo slapping the fuck out of Miguel. After that, I would say maybe Maki now, now, yeah. Because that's another one where she's just fucking she just dice. Was now, yeah, well, one he's the fast guy and he's like giving her the skivvy paps. He's like hitting her with like all season this season. Now, he is the last person she kills. Oh, God, you get stabbed by Maki's mother to death. That whole Maki's episode. Yeah. Feels like it was from a different show. Yes. Like now that we've been so in the calling games. When I look back on that, we just sprinkle it in right before the calling games. Oh, yeah. By the way, the Zenin clan is gone. When I look back on that, especially after the big blood hand shows up, I'm like, am I thinking of JJK or am I thinking of a Naruto ship? Who didn't like a blockade battle front or something like that? It's like straight up super powers. That and then this because it is that is that is like it's how the fight ends in the manga. But like it's not as like throw the like the gloves and take the helmet off. Having a hockey bra styled. I wish Reggie took off his receipts might as well. I thought that'd be cool if he's like either naked or semi naked just to be leaner. And then I love that like you don't even fully register what happens. Like they're fighting and then all of a sudden the wolf jumps towards you and he's got a big chunk of big like he's like fucking like mostly gone. Like his hair has been cut on the side and he's got like the fucking he looks like Benny Maru from fucking Hell's Paradise. Yeah, that shit's great. I also want to mention I wish at some point in Reggie's life, somebody kicked him or really hard in the stomach and they pulls out a receipt and he can't use it because he accidentally pissed all over it. Just like, oh, no, the all the receipts between my legs. That's where I kept my house, please. Either that or more realistically, someone cuts him and he can't use it because it's blood. That'd be cool. You know, that'd be very cool. Yeah, that is the thing is like it's like it's very silly. That's another one of those things where it's a caveat, right? Like there needs to be rules and it's like, oh, if the ink runs, I can't summon it. And so like that's also like a huge, huge weakness. And so like that's that also might be like, oh, he can steal receipts. But if they get what he can't use them kind of thing, like that's kind of enough to be like, OK, that's a rule that would allow him to summon shit and control it. Yeah. Oh, this is a great episode. I'm going to be after the next episode. I'm doing an episode ranking like a video ranking all the episodes from the season. This one's pretty high up and I didn't think it was going to be because I don't love this fight in the manga, but this is a fucking like another and a long like a long section of like, hey, this episode is better on the anime than it is in the manga because like fuck, this was awesome. I love Reggie. I loved him from day one. Yeah, he was. I mean, he's a he's a great, unfortunately, like short lived character. Like like he introduces like Yori, who's in the story longer than him. I like is Yori the one who pulls his teeth out? What the fuck? You have metal metal ass character. Oh, there's there's talk of a shit in this episode. We're so focused on Reggie and all that. We fucking completely forgot the talk of us battling against. Oh, my God. Yeah. He fights Yori a little and then he or he's like, this sucks. I'm leaving. Yeah. And then like there's a sequence. We also have to reveal of how comedian works. What do you think about it? We still haven't really seen it in person. A hundred percent. We have. What's he done? He literally so like Yori is like he like explodes a building and then talk about peers next to him like a train conductor's outfit in like a building he creates and then he climbs through it. Yeah. And then he's just back into his outfit and all of the damage he's done is gone. Yeah. And then he's got like the little representation of damage. That's like his like on fire. Tiny little thing. Yeah. Yeah. So his power is that whatever he finds funny will happen. But he doesn't know that he doesn't know that. So if he ever thought it would be funny, if the entirety of Japan's population was dead, they would just die. Yeah. Someone's got to keep his fucking humor in check. That's like literally keeps a boy, oh boy, do I have a rest of the manga for you, buddy? He is awesome. And then at the end, they say, oh, and like this power is the only power known that would be able to deal with Gojo. Yeah. Because like he could be like, I don't find Gojo funny. And then Gojo would just be gone. Well. But is that how it works? It's not what he doesn't find funny. He'd have to find it funny. Funny that Gojo wouldn't be around and then Gojo would disappear, but he doesn't kill. That's his thing. Yeah. Right. So like he doesn't know how his ability works and he doesn't kill. But anything he finds, he has reality warping abilities. He can be like, I think it would be funny if the ocean was made out of orange soda. And then the ocean would be orange soda until he found it unfunny. He's like the fire force power. He is the end game of fire force just thrown in as a fucking as an absolute bombshell. Yeah, I love him so much. We also got introduced to like a ton. God, I love him. I'm sorry. A ton of really cool looking sorcerers. Yes. One of which dies instantly to you, which was upsetting. Yes, I want to see what that guy can do. That guy was sick as hell. Shikigami. He makes right in valuable, invoitable barriers. They explained what he can do, but I want to see a fight, you know, he got murdered. All right. Well, but yeah, Utah's carbon path. All the sorcerers. The Senai colony. Have you seen the trailer? No, look up the Senai colony trailer right. God damn now. So we have one more episode of JJK, which I'm assuming is going to be like a lead up to the Senai colony, which is the next. Like it's the next. So we just did Tokyo colony number one. And then we do the Senai colony, which is Utah's kind of arc. And he's going to be battling against Rio and Taka Ko, who are the two people that you saw that weren't drove and Kuro Roshi. God, this looks stellar. Oh, it's going to be all time. This is a lot more colorful. It is what we're currently dealing with. Yes, because it's evolve. It's around Utah, who gets to be happy occasionally. That is not what I know about Utah. Well, like he's got that is contrary to what I know. You just got his child bride. Maki's got a crush on him. He's got way better things going for him than Yuji. Utah has is never smiling. He's never smiling, but he's engaged. I guess. And he's got a very pretty scarred lady who's into him. He's got good things going for. There's more to life than being. Than children, child brides and strong wives. Brother, you're probably right. Yeah, but yeah, great episode. Oh, so good. But yeah, Drubb is one of those things where it's that he's been. He's so powerful. This is his second time being re-incarnated. And you just one shots him, which is crazy. And his ability is very cool. Also, we met Hannah Angel. Oh, yeah, she just ends down and saves. What did she say? She saves Megami. That's who it is. Yeah, she saves Megami. Oh, Megami, let's that girl live. Oh, yeah, Scorpion hair girl. Yeah, there's yeah. She happy ending for her. She gets a yeah, she super gets a happy ending. She gets to yeah. Stop spoiling. I'm not spoiling anything. You're actually spoiling shit. She gets. I'm not going to say what her ending is. Sarkastically saying she has a happy ending is a huge spoiler. Depends on how you feel about America as a country. I and that's and that's where I end. And that's where we're ending. That's where you end spoiling. And that's where we end JJ K's episode 11. Season three, which brings us to our best episode. How's paradise? Of anime, at least, because we also still have to talk about episode two of One Piece Love Action and the first two episodes of a visible, but hell's paradise. Big boobs episode. Well, the whole show is a bunch of boobs. Yeah, but they're usually on like flower people. And now we got like usalria boobs. And then we got like saggy boobs. This episode as well. Big boobs episode. Like, yeah, yeah. A different iteration of you would have gone. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. We haven't always had that. You brought it with the Santa costume. I just remember it. We had it since Santa. Yeah. Was it this rendition of Santa the last one? I think this one. Yeah. So it's not. It's still still pretty new, the bell. But big episode from hell's paradise here. You were always like, man, we need more death and hell's paradise. They need to feel the consequences. And boy, oh boy, did you get him this episode. She dies. I thought it was ambiguous. I mean, it's OK. OK. But like, what is your takeaway? Do you think Yuzari is still alive? Yeah, I do. Really? She's not dead. She takes off her top shoes. Like, she literally does like the thing where like dog. Until someone's head comes off. She did the thing that dogs do when they know they're going to die and they like walk off into the forest. It's the most obvious character death of all time. She's like, you keep going, Benny Maru. I'll hang back for a little bit. And he's like, yeah, sure. And she's like, yeah. And then she takes off her bandage and bleeds out. It's tough with this show, though, considering that fucking Gabi Maru. Not Benny Maru. It is Gabi Maru. Wow. Considering Gabi Maru had all of his organs sliced to the last flower Maru before. Yeah. So until someone's head leaves their body in this show. Yes. And even then sometimes you never know if someone's dead. That's fair. That's very fair. Like she like also like, I don't understand why she undid that bandage. Keep that bandage on. She was like, oh, yeah, I thought that was deeper than I thought. You have to be careful. I'm not going to be careful. I thought that was deeper than I thought. You had it blocked. Your blood was staying in your body until you peeled that. You picked up that scab. Yeah. But yeah. So we have flower Maru now. Yep. That's pretty neat. Yeah. I mean, he's just he's giving up his humanity to get back to his wife, which like fucking if he still doesn't know if she's real or not. Yeah. But I love that his rationale was like fucking if I can do it, I can do it because my God is that relatable. Yeah. If I saw somebody else pull off like conquering flowers. First thing I would have done. I would have stabbed myself with a flower. Are you kidding? That idiot can do it. I can't. I think I could become a Navy SEAL. Yeah. I see. I watched the movie with Alan Richardson recently. War Machine on Netflix. Bad. Love Alan Richardson. It's just the worst version of the predator. It is predator to the T except replace the predator with a fucking lifeless machine. But I watched it like man, becoming an army ranger is the hardest thing anybody could do. I could do it. Oh, you have to run and you barely get to sleep. I'll figure it out. Yeah. I that's why people do do it. If anyone in the comments is like, no, you couldn't. People do it. People do it. Yeah. I could do it. Yeah. The fact that Marines exist is proof that there is at least a chance you could be one. I really did. Listen, I think there is like, I think there was a TV show where like regular people went through what it took to become an ABCO, which like that sucks because it's like, okay, cool. When you do the Navy SEAL one, at least you get like a cool hat and you get to write an autobiography that's mostly lies in 20 years. But like fucking you complete it for nothing just to say that you could have. Well, it's also, don't you usually not start directly training as a Navy SEAL? Oh, yeah. You have to be like in the military. Yeah. You're a soldier first. Well, that's the thing. I'd have to fucking, I'd have to. No, I know. I don't want to do that part. I'm defending you. Oh, I think you'd have to do that part. I don't want to do that part. I just want to do the test. I want to do that. I want to fucking spray me with a hose and I'll be like, yay. And then I'll get two hours of sleep at night. And then in three months, like I said, I get to write an autobiography that's mostly lies. That's what I want. Right. That's what I need. I think I could do it. I don't think you could do it. I didn't say I could do it. I know. But your rational, like I like that you think that you can kill wolves. My rational thing is I think I could pass the test to become a Navy SEAL or an Army Ranger. But I don't think I could kill two wolves. Yeah. That's the thing. We need to be deluded about our own shit. I guess logically I don't think your average Navy SEAL can kill two wolves. Wait, no, I guess I do. I guess I can kill two wolves, but I can't kill a Navy SEAL because I don't think I can kill two wolves. Was there guns involved? I've been asking you this question for fucking ever. Well, with a Navy SEAL, is there guns involved? That's the question. Even then, I don't think I can kill a SEAL. I think you have a way better chance at winning a fight against a Navy SEAL without guns. Second guns get involved. Oh, the fucking tables have turned. I don't know. I think I can do it. You get lucky with like a rock to the head. I get luckier with a gun. That's fair because people do get lucky. There's an entire war built around occasionally people getting lucky in the Middle East. If he just doesn't shoot me in the face, if somehow he just goes for more mass and then I take that one bullet, I can get a bullet into him. Yeah, you just go, I'm dead. And then, that's what you gotta do. Exactly. Yeah. Man. I go, ooh, I ate a berry and it was toxic. You don't need the gun. I thought it was a blueberry. Eric comes to check on me and I shoot him in the scrotum and then I suck it in that order. That's what the berry feels like in my tummy right now. And that was us killing America's heroes for 10 minutes chat. Heroes. Yeah, that's fair. That's not nowadays. Not like us. Us. The real American heroes, baby. Good stuff. Good stuff. But anyway. Also, did you understand what they were doing? They were like, hey, we need to outlast you for an hour. And so we've, we flashed you a bunch to make you think an hour had passed or something. We're talking about Navy SEALs and you're like, I didn't understand what they were doing with the ran. And I thought you meant Iran. Iran. And I'm like, hey, me neither. What are they doing over there? Let's figure it out here on this podcast. I also don't get what's going on. Yeah. Yeah, fucking bad ideas all around. Who's ran? The fucking Lord Tensen they were fighting. Oh, I see. They were like, hey, we use it in Stronobian interrogations all the time. We flash them. Oh. We flash them with candles to make them think more time has passed or something. Yeah, they did to him what they do to jet in Avatar, the last airbender where they, do you remember they brainwash, they bling bloshed jet. They bling blot you. It's fucking tiny chef in there. They blort your jet. They radicalized B boy. They brainwashed jet by having like a little lantern revolve around his head. Uh-huh. And I guess it's a similar logic where apparently. By lighting him on fire constantly, they made him think that he wasn't like a fucking evolved for an hour. It could sparkle in Adam. Like, so I guess it like speeds up your brain chemistry and like puts your adrenaline on high and makes time move really fast. Gotcha. Because it's essentially the concept of time flies when you're having fun. Dog. Next fucking, no more movie reactions. Next month, let's try torture techniques on each other. I want to be waterboarded. So another, another irrational confidence thing of Nick. I think I could be waterboarded and be fine. I saw a video. Hold your breath. What are you doing? Could be the pussy like what are we doing? They angle you. Oh, yeah. So it gets in. Idiot. What? Oh, look, dad, I'm still holding my breath. If I put, if I pour water on you, it'll get in. Into what? I don't know. Into what? Yeah, I also. My closed lips. I also don't understand because I get, yeah. I also don't understand because you can swim upside down. Safe in this mouth. You could swim upside. I love if you just split your head open trying to get up. I saw a video of a guy who had the same mentality and then he, they, they put them in a waterboarding scenario with like a button that would stop the waterboarding. And he got like almost a second through it. That's crazy. There's literally an entire. There's an entire episode in Archer about this. And then after for like months, like they interviewed him again months after and he's like, I wake up screaming. What? That was an Eroctom. You can't tell me, you can't tell me that wouldn't sell Patreon views. Fuck it. Danny gets the waterboard me and then I get to, I get to spin a lamp around his head for a little bit. Yeah. Or Chinese water. Water torture. That one also. They did that at a Mythbusters. Carrie Hayden. Carrie Hayden. I was like, Hey, Carrie, I know you were excited about like Rockin' Car Parts 6, but actually we're torturing you. I'm sorry. What if we use like confirmed torture? That'd be great. Meanwhile, the Tories just getting bamboo shot. Yeah. He's like a sleep on like growing bamboo. Yeah. That'd be great. Oh, fucking yeah. So they do that speed them up. I thought it was a bold choice to fucking try and outlast the guy who's been doing physical exercise for a thousand years. They're like, Oh yeah, this is the guy who works out every day and like cool. Outlast him. Yeah. Terrible idea. I love the idea that Gabby Maru has sacrificed his humanity. Like I hope this ends in a tragedy of some kind. Either his wife doesn't exist or he comes home and he's a monster. I mean, has he sacrificed his humanity? No, he's a flower guy. He's just a flower guy. And that's pretty cool. Yeah. Who just gets to regenerate fucking at will and they're like, Oh, but you're going to turn into a tree one day. A lot of the Hocos lived for a thousand years. Also, I guess the bit is like if you give yourself to the flower, you'll become a monster. Yes. Like what's his face constantly asked to like fight it. Yeah. That's not so bad. After this, I don't think he's going to keep on fighting. I think he just wants to spend time with his wife. So I don't think he has to worry about turning into the flower guy. Yeah. I think he'll be okay. It's a, you know, the real tragedy is use a Rhea. Yeah. The fucking like the person who actually stab her with a flower as well. Let her live. Yeah. No, she gets rocked and then fucking towels herself to death. Kind of because they're like, if she generates towel into her weapons, you won't have enough to live. Yeah, exactly. And so, I mean, but like still, like still absolutely covers her wound. Yeah. That's for sure. Like she has enough towel to cover her wound. So like, what are we talking about here? All right. So you've seen one piece live action episode two. What episode are you on? I've seen episode three and then a little bit in episode four, but I don't want to watch it because I don't want to like get too far ahead of where we're at and forget everything. Oh, probably I can watch more. It's just invincible. Dumped three hours on me this week. Yes. And they are full hour episodes. Um, one piece I wrote, is that Jacksepticeye? Dude, the fucking list. What Mr. Nine looks just like Jacksepticeye. Mr. Mr. Oh, Mr. Nine along with the iron bats. Iron. The one with the crown on. Yeah. Like Jacksepticeye. I don't. The wild. He's got a little like who will look in ass face. He's got a who will look in ass face. I wouldn't say Jacksepticeye is a who will look in ass face. Um, I wrote, I assume Zorro murders this man and steals his clothes. Murder is Mr. Nine and steals his clothes. No, Calico Yorkie. He's dressed like time skip Zorro. He truly is. He's got the open shirt and everything. He's got the sash. Yep. And green jacket. He does not. Zorro does not kill Calico Yorkie Yorkie. I'll tell you that. Okay. But maybe he, maybe he steals his drip. Maybe. Uh, why does Luffy have a beautiful voice that feels out of character for Luffy? Does he? Yeah. He's not when he was singing. You when he was singing to Laboum, that was beautiful. Beautiful little voice. I love, I love that for you. I mean, Luffy actually doesn't really ever sing in the anime. Um, that's usually like Brooks job. Also, uh, this episode is wild because it is nothing like the manga or the anime. Um, that Laboum and Luffy's arc does not end with Luffy singing to Laboum. It ends with Luffy beating the fuck out of Laboum. And then he's like, you don't fight the wall. You fight me, motherfucker. Oh, true. Luffy stabs the broken mast of a ship into Laboum's head. Yeah. And then he's like, Hey, get strong enough to fight me and I'll be back bitch. Right. Literally. It's like, it's like, and then it's like this entire, for some reason they change it to singing also. Um, well, cause otherwise he's beating the piss out of a whale. That doesn't deserve it. The one thing is like, he beats the piss out of the whale because he cares about the whale. And that's more, that's how you would think that's how you show love to someone you care for Luffy's character. Luffy's like, I'm, I want to be strong. I want you to be strong. I'm going to stop you from hitting the wall by hitting you myself. And then also, um, the fucking, the, the guy, the doctor usually lives inside of Laboum. Yeah. He doesn't like, he treats Laboum from inside of Laboum and they skipped the whole like inside of Laboum ecosystem thing. Or like the guy paints the ceiling on the, like inside of Laboum and like, they think they're outdoors, but actually they're indoors. And instead they change them to having like a fucking like needle gun that he shoots from like the Cardiff Cliffs into Laboum's side here. Yeah. That was crazy. They changed a lot. Change a lot. Brooke shows up. Brooke shows up. He's a delight. He's a great casting. This is my introduction to Brooke. Love him. He's not going to look like that. I'll tell you that right now. The next time you see him, he will not look like that. No. I, unless they, and listen, here's the thing. Consider the fact that they're doing a fully CGI chopper. Brooke will not look like that. They could, I mean, I don't know anything about it. Do you know what Brooke looks like? Uh, yeah. Okay. You know, he's a skeleton, right? He's a skeleton. Okay. Yeah. So like I could see them being like, Brooke's the only survivor. We don't want to make this guy a CGI skeleton for the rest of time here, but like, he's not going to look like that. Did you hear that Oda is like, or the cast of one piece are like, yeah, we're not adapting the whole manga. And Oda has an arc in mind for where the live action will end. Oh, yeah. He has an arc in mind for where the, this, this is brand new news to me. Wait. So they're not, so official. They're not adapting the whole manga. Yeah. Oda knows in his heart where the story will end. Yeah. For the live action, assumedly before where it ends in the manga. Of course. And what's interesting is like, there's no way this will happen, but also who knows when the manga will end because Oda was like, this will end 1993. And then it went on for fucking 30 years. It was supposed to be like, yeah, his, it was supposed to be 500 chapters and he was like, I'm having a time dog. He's having a blast. Yeah. And then everyone's like, wow, Oda, what incredible foresight. Look, I can't believe he, I can't believe he's, he's sold all the seeds. Like, dude, Oda didn't think this shit was going to like everything Oda's doing, he's making up. He's tying things back into the original parts of his story. But like the shit he's writing right now, he wasn't thinking of 20 years ago. He's just remembering it by reading the wiki. Mind you, Oda does not remember his own story. He remembers his story by reading the wiki. You can't blame him for that. Oh God, no, I read the wiki to remember what's going on in fucking one piece. Yeah. I wish Toriyama did that more often. I doubt it would be. Toriyama's constantly forgetting shit about saying. The same thing happens at fucking JJPA. Everyone's like, I wish. Really? Yeah, dude. Oh, JoJo's is rot with plot inconsistencies because what's his fucking name? I've never. Shout out to Steel Ball Run, by the way. Steel Ball Run just started. I was going to watch. I'm going to watch that next week. You haven't seen any of it. Whatever. Does not really matter at the end of the day. I'm just going to watch episode one of Steel Ball Run and who knows if I'll watch the rest. Who knows if it'll come out. Really happy about it. Yeah. A lot of JoJo fans just love JoJo, but like fucking people are very happy. I'll steal all right. I'm fucking speaking of Steel Ball Run. Did you hear that no one knows when episode two is going to come out? What? Yeah. Netflix is like, maybe in a week, maybe in 10 years. Who knows? It's like fucking it's like ZOM 101 where it was like ZOM 100 where it was like, that was a fun four episodes Christmas, maybe for the next one. We're like, okay, sure. Truly no one knows when episode two is coming out and Netflix is like, we cannot be certain that it will or when it will. Why release episode one then just be like, hey, until we can get a wrangle on episode two. It's so weird, but that's why I'm like, maybe I'll check out episode one and see if that convinces you. You got time. Yeah. If you really like Steel Ball Run, you can go watch all of JoJo's and before episode two comes out. Yeah, but um, fuck what were we talking about with one? A little boon and fucking all of. Oda doesn't remember shit. Oh, but uh, yeah. Yeah. So theoretically, and this probably won't happen. Uh-huh. There is a world in which live action fans find out what the one piece is before manga fans. No, there's no way. It's there's a world. There's a world for sure. So basically. For the sake of the. Spoiling shit in the live action. Well, they're spoiling shit, but not for manga readers. No, but for it will. Yes. For manga readers. If you were keeping up with the live action, I guess, if you just got to the grand line in the manga, you're already spoiled on shit. Yes. From the live action because now you know, like, oh, that's broke. Well, you don't even really know. You're like only you only know if you know, you're like, oh, that's Brooke. Well, you know about Garp. You know that Garp is. Yes. Luffy's grandfather. Um, I feel like we get no more about Roder's death than we did previously. We're going to a lot of people talking about him. Yes. Like that's like, look, is it conversational piece in Loge Town? Obviously. That's where Roger dies. But so basically, I'm going to do a TikTok here. So it just came out that one piece is live action is going to end in a certain arc that happens before the ending of one piece. But you believe that one piece is live action could get an ending for the story before the manga does. I don't believe that. You think there's a world where it could happen though. Yeah, there's a world. Theoretically, don't weaponize. I'm weaponizing it right now. Maybe I'm doing it right now. How dare you. I'm going to edit out his saying that he is a say, I think that right now. All of that was a TikTok already. And you're like, oh, and I'm going to make it sound like you said something you didn't say. 100%. Um, no, I'm not saying that's a likelihood. I just possibility. Yeah, it's a funny possibility because again, so deserved because manga readers of one piece spoil so much for everybody else. And then they're like, they're like purists. Like, I'm not watching that live action slop. The live action watchers were able to spoil the ending of the manga for one piece manga readers. That'd be the funniest thing anybody could ever like that'd be the best joke ever delivered. Yeah, that'd be awesome. It'd be crazy. But yeah, I, where do you think the live action would end? Keeping in mind that they have been just like crashing arcs into each other like in season one. Our long park crashes into Baratier. Yes, literally. Yeah. Um, so like, do you think they would fuse any arcs together? Where in the anime or manga are you like, you know what, if it ended here, that's a complete story. That's the thing is they never like that's you can't end one piece. There's arcs. You can skip. There's a hundred percent arcs. You can skip and like no one piece fan, like a lot of one piece fans would know every arcs important kind of thing. Oh, there's like, you could, you can fuse a bunch of arcs together. Like thriller bark isn't all that important. Fucking punk hazard isn't all that important. But you can blend these arcs together as long as they're like getting to, there's like a bunch of like stones they have to collect basically and they have to like read the inscriptions on these stones to find where, um, to find where laugh tail is. And once they get the laugh tail, that's where the one piece is. Like they can, they can absolutely mismatch a bunch of these arcs together, but there's no stopping point. There's no identifiable stopping point because all of it would be before the ending. Like you could do it. You could go to the time skip. You could be like, Oh, hey, we go and tell Marine Ford. Like that's like what I was thinking. Marine Ford is still far as fuck away for them. Like so it's Marine Ford is and chapter 400 ish. I wonder if what he means is he's like, we will be skipping arcs and just like get to the one piece. So there's no way, there's no way the live action ends without them getting to the one piece. Well, that's I think then the arc that ends one piece would just be the last arc. Yeah. Like the way that they are, the way that you phrased it, we're like, Oh, that has an arc in mind that the live action will end on. I'm like, Oh, okay. Like that would be like Saba Odi Archipelago or Marine Ford. That's what they said. They said he has an arc in mind that it would end on. Yeah. So I'm like, they're like, to me, they don't make it to the one piece in live action. But then I'm trying to think of it. Oh, what would be a satisfying secondary conclusion to the one piece live action that wasn't them finding the one piece. Luffy becoming king of the pirates, but that hat like you need the one piece. That's the thing. And so like it's either like that thing, it would have to either be the end or it would have to be like, like change Marine Ford so a survives. And then it's like Luffy is like, Oh, never mind. Like I was able to save my family. That's more important. But like, then like, then you still have the world's government and you still have like emu and you have the fucking, you have the elders and you have the admirals. And like there's like still like an entire fashion system built out to suppress the entire world. And it's like, that's the, there's no good arc for one piece to end that isn't post Elbeth. Yeah. You know? Like I don't know. Maybe, maybe. Yeah. I could see them skipping arcs or fusing arcs because there's a lot that could be skipped. Yeah. Well, anyway, episode two, do you like it? It's great. Um, it's, I, they just changed a lot. Like they just changed a lot. I said that, uh, how Mepha looks like looks maxing, Nick Kroll. Um, both getting better looking him and Kobe. Dude, they are just glowing. You're right. He's got a fucking chin on it. He's got a goddamn chin on him, dude. It is crazy. Uh, I said smokers actor would be a good live action Dante or Leon Kennedy. Yeah. Right? Don't you see it? I don't think he's a good smoker. He sounds like a guy doing a deep voice. Maybe. Rather than a man with a deep voice. Yeah. That wigs also bad. The wig is bad. There's a lot of bad wigs. I think he had Dante would be better because I think he has like a higher voice and I think he would be more suited to like a more laid back and like fun guy. Exactly. He feels like he's like forcing being gruff, rough and tough. Yeah. Uh, and then I said, there was obviously like, if you're going to talk about episode two of live action, people are upset about like Brooks being like dark skinned. And well, because like Brooks isn't like last thing is like Brooks is jazz playing skeleton with an Afro. Oh dude, that's, that is the thing. Like he is very clearly like he's been established by Oda to like come from. I think the Oda said that he would be, I don't even remember where Oda said he would be from, but like he has an Afro. He's not that dark in the anime and the manga. But like Oda has the inability to draw dark skinned characters. Yeah. He, he's not a great actor, the one that they got for the live action, but fuck can he sing. I think he did great. I thought he was okay. But like, I was like, I feel like they definitely compromised the like his line reading ability to like get a fucking like, like a golden voice saxophone playing because he, that motherfucker can, can hoot some tunes. Oh, I don't know. I liked his acting. I think a lot of Usopp's been impressing me a lot to this season, not because I ranked Usopp as like one of my favorite actors. The best actor. Yes. But I was like, oh, but when he, but when he's being cowardly, he kind of falters. Like it feels like the actor like is doing more of like a cartoony cowardly than like authentic. It feels more authentic this season. Yes. This season also just looks better. Yeah. Overall. This whole episode looked really good. Yeah. And they're in a whale for a lot of their in a whale. There's like a bunch. There's a broken down ship. There's a good sale down the fucking upside down thing. Yep. Uh, I also liked. Oh, this season feels more confident in that, like every camera angle isn't like two feet or two inches from the actor in a fish eye lens. Yeah. Season one is so fucking obnoxiously close. Yes. Every actor. Because they were like nervous about their sets. That's what I think this feels more confident and like probably more expensive. Yeah. The angles are a lot more comfortable now and I really like it. Yeah. Cool. You want to talk about invincible? Sure. Last thing. Yep. We never talked about how Zoro's fucking ginormous this season. He's massive. He's so big. Dude. Episode three is a big Zoro episode. I cannot wait for you to see it. It is one of the most impressive action sequences I've ever seen. We are talking like the raid level choreography and it's like a half hour long action sequence. It's nuts. Is it him against all the numbers? Kind of. Whoa. Oh. Oh. Is it on Cactus Island? Yes. Yeah. I remember that shit. Dude. It's like he has to cut down 100 people and he fucking cuts down 100 people. I saw the actor was like, I made sure it was 100. Like I told them people will count. Yeah. Fucking. And boy, oh boy. Did I goddamn count and he's right. There was a couple of ones where I was like, was that five or six? But like they 100% pay attention to it. Awesome. Yeah. Invincible. Yes. Invincible. How do you feel? Man. Season four episodes one and two. Yes. Season four episodes one and two. These were two very good episodes. But at the same time, it's just more invincible. I listen. You know what? This is coming from a place. I'm at a point where invincible where I'm like, can we start doing the scale? Can we start doing the fucking Viltrum War? Can we start doing like the, and I see, I see the fucking the screen breaking and something happening behind it. I don't know what's happening there, but they're like, hey, there's a dinosaur man. He can transform. And I'm like, I don't give a shit. And they're like, hey, the sequins are back. I don't give a shit. Why are we still doing Martians? This is like being like, Hey, can we see the one piece already? This is bullshit. I was last season. There was like an invasion of marks and conquest and fucking. Eve was a superpower to Mac lady. Yeah, that was all like the last half of the season. We just started. I know, but that's things every season of invincible starts with like, Hey, you remember, you remember earthquake guy? Yeah, he's back for four and a half minutes. You just don't like the point of invincible is the problem. I was a. See Mark sad. And I want to, I get that you know, I want to, I know that in order to see Mark sad, we got to see him fight some fucking people where he's like, I should have killed you kind of thing. But you know what it is? It's a sequence. I mean, it's not the sequence. Come on the screen. I'm like, I don't care. I know that they're not going to break out. I know that one's going to be left behind and the two seasons down the line. We're going to have to deal with another hive mind attack. Well, the bit is that they have to keep dealing with these things. My friend Josh was also bitching about this, where he's like, Oh, they never finished things off and like, I don't want to see all of these like reoccurring villains. This whole episode, the first two episodes whole point is that it's a deconstruction of the superhero stick where it's like, man, yeah, we're fighting the sequence. A lot, huh? And they keep killing people and we keep chasing them off and this keeps happening. Maybe we should just kill them. And that's the whole dilemma and Mark just kills them. I will say the repetition to do that. I will say that moment was sick. Yeah, because that was the most juiced. Anybody's ever been juice. Like a lot of people have been juiced in the invincible universe. And I like the idea. But once again, once again, and like you can call it a deconstruction of the superhero genre, but it's like, oh, Mark got killed. Mark doesn't want to kill, but boy, boy, can he, you know, just every episode of every season where like Mark sure hates killing. And then I'm like, well, then put, stop putting the suit on. This is because you're going to go out there and somebody's going to be just a little bit too slow. Everyone's going to be like, ah, you killed again, Mark. This is technically his first kill. And the bit is because he never heads, but he never head butts people enough. Well, the bit also is that this is an innocent guy. I hate the conquest is still alive. I hate the conquest still. And I hate that he I hate that he's getting his brain fucking most opened and do anything, but give him a cooler scar. Invincible does have a big issue with death baiting and that will not go away. Like they're constantly and I have this issue with like invincible, both the show and comic is like they're constantly being like, oh, this guy just got ripped into eight little chunks. Yep. And then he comes back like immediately after fucking like Eve gets starked. Yeah. And she's like, by the way, my powers, I like that her powers aren't working anymore. I like that her powers have turned into rainbow mush. I enjoy that. Why do you think that's happening? Because she fucking died and then she had to come back to life and she had to tap into her powers that she doesn't use at the fullest of their ability and also because her dad's a dick probably. It's probably got something to do with her dick father and her inability to make a good coffee. I don't know. I'm not fucking. I'm assuming he's got something to do with her dying. Maybe. Or being a corporate shill. I also fucking invincible ink. And they're like, hey, we have to defend these stockholders interests. That's the number one. The number one thing we need to worry about is companies interest. I like that they're donating all the profits. That's good. But they're like, yeah, what's what's the most important thing we can doing? Saving fucking that insurance company who's paying us $8 trillion a month. Oh, I'm sorry. You don't like complex moral dilemmas. You just want something to bitch about because all you're bitching about is the point. I'm invincible. I'm invincible. I'm excited to watch the third episode. I'm going to watch every episode invincible. But I just I want to fucking I was enjoying my time with Omni-Man more than I was with Mark because I was like, I get crazy. That the Omni-Man episode is so like, not that it was bad, but I was like, let's get back to Mark. I hate that we didn't get fucking the reptiles. That was a waste of time. The rep. Oh, they just got the money. Oh, they didn't pick up the Ragnars or whatever. Ragnars, they were like, ah, they melted immediately. How hot was that plan? How close was that sun? You know what I liked about it? Fucking just like like Omni-Man reflecting on all of the atrocities. He was like, oh, we put a we put a shield in front of the sun. We didn't care about the other two burgeoning planets that were next to this one. It was like, fuck man, Jesus Christ. And yet everyone's like, this is a good guy now. Yeah, he was like, a good, a good well-placed sorry is all we need. I think it's so funny how viewers are so cool to accept a redemption arc of like a genocidal mass murderer. In this, they're okay to accept it from like Endeavor, who isn't a murderer, but like abuse the shit out of his family. Can I tell you why? Well, okay, go on. Oh, because he's hot. Because he's hot. Because he's hot. I think it's interesting what like that murder is all. Yeah, no, it's because he's hot. Because he's hot. Because also I was gonna say Jamie Lannister, but it's because he's hot. Yeah, exactly. There's an entire book about this. One of the oldest books you've probably ever read. What's the fucking Beowulf spin off? Gilgamesh? Beowulf spin off. Yeah, Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh is the original epic. That is the epic of Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh is in Beowulf. Gilgamesh is in Beowulf. That's what we kill us. I'm talking about the ugly little monster thing that everyone hates because he's ugly from Beowulf. Gilgamesh. Not Gilgamesh. Not Gilgamesh. She's got another real grundle. Grundle. It's a grundle ass name. And then everyone hates him because he's ugly. And nobody's ever willing to fucking, it's like it's the story of Frankenstein. Yeah. Nobody loves Frankenstein. Frankenstein can kill one lady and then everyone's like, we gotta kill him. Yeah, I am. And Frankenstein was fuckable, which is also my beef. He is this time. That's my beef with this because he's so fuckable. Jacob Elordy. No, it would be that upset. He did the work. He 100% did the work. He did a fantastic job. That movie was awesome. Too hot to be Frankenstein. But yeah, so I think that's funny that people are like, Nolan, he's getting his redemption arc and it's like, okay, I guess. They want to do mustache rides on it. I think Nolan isn't evil long enough. In the comic, it feels so long. Fair. And the issue with adapting shit and condensing it is that like, it's like, see the season one, you're like, oh, he's like, ambiguously evil. And then it ends with he does these atrocities. Yeah. And then season two, he's like already on the up and up. Yeah. But yeah, I thought I said one of season four was spectacular. I love that. I like that he was about to kill the dinosaur guy. Yeah. I was a real moral quandary was like, I, I could eliminate this from because he's like, I can't control it. And he was like, you were almost because here's the thing. That's another thing with invincible. He's the strongest guy on earth. Every episode there's somebody as strong as him and they're coming out of the goddamn woodwork. That's the issue with the show specifically. I said this before, but like the comic, he's like authentically invincible. It's so rare that like, he'll like things will push him back. But it's like the equivalent of like, like, you know, when a dad wrestles with his two kids and they can like pin them down, but they're not like hurting him. They're not giving him like a black eye. Yeah. That's how it is in the comic where like the sec wids can like keep Mark pushed, but they're not like breaking his skin. Yeah. In this. Yeah. Like your fucking niece could kick the shit out of invincible. As long as, as long as she like, yeah, got an episode dedicated like dedicated to her, she can at least cut his suit open. Yeah. He loves taking three cuts across the chest. Everyone in this universe does, but whole eyes in three diagonal crosses across your pecs. Not copy and paste damage, but yeah, it's an issue with the shows and invincible is like taking away too much damage. He's losing too often. Um, but yeah, I love he's going to kill that dinosaur guy. I also love the dilemma that the dinosaur guy is like, it's good. You killed that many people. There's too many people and he's dealing with that now where he's like, is it good to be killing? I also love Stephen Young's delivery. So funny because after the Guardian show up and stop him from killing that guy, he's like, this fucking guy turns into a dinosaur. Can you believe that? Yeah. He's like, fucking fuck this dude. He says, he says he can't control it. I don't know. Take him somewhere. Take him to whatever fucking black site you put these motherfuckers. Also this episode one is just filled with character intros at it's dinosaur guy. It's fucking the electro babe. We're doing Martians again. Who's electro babe? Just trying to fucking make American trinobyl. It's funny. She's Thor. Is she though? Kind of. Because she gets fucking clocked by Eve. Well, she's like Thor. She has lightning powers and a big item only the worthy can wield. I guess that's fair. So this whole thing's a fucking comic parody. In episode three, Star Trek shows up. Star Trek shows up in episode two. Well, Star Trek shows up is my point. Yeah. And then like they're like bad at Star Trekking. They're like fucking Nolan's dead. Nolan sits through listening to Alan fuck his girlfriend like 17 times before he thinks, oh, maybe there's another room. I hate that Star Trek shows up. I hate anytime I'm reminded this is a parody series. Yes. And it's like so clearly Star Trek too. Because like the fucking guy with like the scale. Picard. Oh yeah. Well Picard is like an alien this time. But yeah. No, Picard is the fucking captain. I know, but he's an alien. Picard's a human in Star Trek. I wrote, I have a two part note. Also, Electro-Babe is like, you guys have so much energy. Fucking just teach her nuclear fission. Teach her people nuclear fission. She's like, I'm trying to steal this nuclear power. Cool. Here's how you, here's how you get uranium to bump into each other. Go. See you later. It was always so funny when Mark was like, she's like, my people will die without this energy. And he's like, yeah, but you're killing people to get it. How does that make sense? Yeah. And she's like, fucking I don't fuck. I don't know how far I came. Yeah. She's like a literal light years to get here. I also like that the old British dude who's in charge of the Guardians of the globe doesn't call Rex fucking robot Rex. Just call some robot. Oh yeah. He's like, robot fucking go do that. Like he should. Like he should. Yeah. You're gonna get to steal a man's identity. Also, why does Mark's little brother just look like Rex? Why is everybody, you know, like when Charlie Kirk died every, like every AI, like if you ever made an AI version, you can like see Charlie Kirk in them fucking everybody's Rexifying in anime. I don't know about any of that. Yeah. I don't know if he's Rex it like fucking slowly, but surely morphing into Rex. I don't think he looks like Rex. I do think did you do was it episode two that opened with like the background of like Nolan growing up? Yes. And he looks just like I was like, I was like, why is there? I was so confused for a second because they not until his parents beat the ever living fuck out of him. Are they like, hey, good job Nolan? Because I was like, oh, that's Mark. Why is he dressed up like a Viltramite? I wrote this Viltramite looks just like Mark in breathing. And then I wrote Debbie's boyfriend looks just like Mark. Yes. In breathing. Everybody, everybody who has to be like Asian adjacent is just either Mark or Debbie and that's it. Mark, Debbie's boyfriend just has like, I don't know, some about his like face shape and haircut has him looking so much like Mark to me. They're not the same race. No, I don't at least I don't think I have no idea. Also his voice actor is not the most talented out of the crew. I will say his delivery has been throwing me off a little bit. I didn't notice really fucking bitter this week. I'm not bitter. I'm not. I'm not bitter. Listen, I also I'm not bitter. I'll put my fucking dog. No, also what a nightmare to be having sex in a room and a house filled with the super hearing like what? This was such these first two episodes were just focused on people just listening to other people fuck. Yeah. And it's like, I love it when an author like shows their like thinly veiled kink. What's the kink? Fucking listening to other people fuck apparently having said the first two episodes are just Hey, by the way, we can all hear each other fuck. Yeah. I'm so too the backstory. The Viltramites was sick. The whole body of Bill, a body of Viltramites or a ring of Viltramites around the planet. Hard. Yeah, that's really cool. So hard. I love the animation. The season is like the best it's been in terms of really good in terms of like general overall animation rather than like typically this show is like very stiff and then there's a fight and it gets knocked up a bit. Art style still ugly. The animation like in terms of frames per second, what we're seeing animated is the best I've seen it look. Yeah. Like in general, there will be like a minor fight and characters are moving a lot more than they typically 100% like there's some bits where like Mark will get punched away and instead of just like stopping like a JPEG, he'll do a little flip to like break his momentum. I saw what the dinosaur guy looked like in the comic versus what he looks like in the anime. Don't do that. You can't do that. Oh, it's so bad. He's like feathers and like you can see his scales and then you see him and he's like a fucking Chuck E. Cheese stuffy in the anime. Dinosaur looks really good in the I almost said manga in the comic. Yeah. Also, the second scene is so different in the comic. Oh, when Mark dusts that guy. Oh, you know, is he more is he more juiced in the comic? Oh, punches is through the neck so his head flies off. That's crazy. But in this, they're like times running out and Mark has like a second to make this to sit or he has a little time, but like the barrier is going to fall in a second and then Mark turns to the guy and goes, I'm sorry. And then kills him. Yeah. Mark has a very different kind of character in the comic. Mark has him by the throat and the dude's monologuing and he goes, the world as you knew it is on the brink of collapse. You have no hope of defeating us now. And Mark goes, I know, I've been holding back waiting for them to get into position to use their little disruptor things. I know the threat you pose. You could actually succeed in enslaving the entire planet and you could be with no choice. And then he knocks his head off and then see that makes him feel like he was thinking about it a lot more other than just like, hey, bulletproof is flying. That is the thing to him right now. It's so different. It's like a different character. He's like, I've been thinking about this the whole fight. Yeah. And then robot gives him the business. He goes, invincible. What have you done? Rust Livingston was a host, not the threat. He was innocent. We could have found a way another way. We could have made this work. You didn't have to kill an innocent man. And it's like backup. Well, first off, absolutely backup. But that also adds more character to like, oh, there's a growing like rift between the Guardians of the globe and Mark. There isn't the episode. I believe robot just goes, Mark. Well, yeah, yeah. That's it. Like that's very like, hey, I knew his name. We could have done something else. Everyone's like, whoa. And then that's it. But like that's very much like, oh, there's there's a clear fucking difference here. Yeah. But yeah, I do like the tension of like when invincible's fly. Oh, wait, that's episode three. Never mind. Never mind. There's tension. Never mind. Oh, you like it despite your bitching. Oh, it's awesome. Yeah. I don't, I don't, I have my only, my closing remarks is why Thrag looked like that. Why he looked like what? Well, Thrag looks like, Thrag looks like the fucking, the photos of Piccolo where they give Piccolo a fade. You know, like you ever seen that like big, give like Piccolo a cigarette and a fade. Like that's what Thrag looks like. Thrag looks like an 80s porn star. Yeah. It's like, I'm not used to the idea of like them having like shaved heads. Like fucking that was wild. How's the twist that, um, Optimus Prime? Optimus Prime is the person that killed all of, I mean like. And he's like, I'd have done it again. I fucking absolutely. No, like Nolan's like, you killed billions. I'm like dog killing billions is a Tuesday for like, what are we talking about? Yeah. By killing every single one of the billions he killed had probably killed millions. Yeah. Like fucking remember that like season one where like, uh, aliens invade, uh, like Earth and then Nolan like, destroys the planet through the portal with the alien and just destroys the entire fucking planet. It's like, this is a, this is a fucking minor inconvenience for you. The entire episode lead up to this is him talking about the multiple planets he eradicated to, to just possibly get rid of the idea that these planets could fight back. Yeah. The, uh, the backstory of like Nolan being young and fighting his parents and like witnessing the war. Mom, we've seen her before. We've seen no, no, no, we see Nolan's dad die, uh, in the, in the plague, but Nolan's mom lost an eye and like she's got like long hair. Was she the fucking lady with the long brain? I don't think so. Okay. No, you'd think he'd be like, mom, you know, maybe. Yeah. I think the art style is limited. We've explained like there are characters that just look like other characters. Yeah. But, uh, yeah, that whole backstory is like, like the backstories in the comic, but we don't get this like D day order 66 POV. Oh, where he's getting the shit kicked out of him or no, where we don't get that. And we also, I don't believe, and we also don't get like a day in the life of like when it happens, like where people just start bleeding out of their face. And it's like, like Alan even says, he's like, do you just make me feel bad for your genocidal race? Like, cause you do at the end, you're like, wow, this is like, this is fucking heavy. There's like 50 of you left out of the billions and you're dumping them in a ring around your planet. Yeah. But then it also gives context. The idea of like, oh, we need to find like interplanetary species that we can breed with. Yeah. Uh, they don't want to do that though. They're like, we're, we're stubborn. Yeah, we stub them. But yeah, no, these first two episodes are probably two of the better episodes I've seen from invincible from like an animation perspective and like the story beats that they hit. I just like bitching about invincible. I like bitching about. I like invincible. I just like a bitching about it. Well, speaking of bitching, people hate the ring of Viltramites because they're like, you would need trillions upon trillions of Viltramites. How could they fit on that? You don't know how big that planet is. First off, fuck off the planet. It could be the size of Pluto. Well, the bigger the planet. Oh, you're saying a bunch of people on a tiny planet. Yeah, it could be a fucking like, you know, like absolutely, he said billions of people died. We have no idea how big that fucking planet is. The people who are bitching about that are the same people who bitch about Zeph eating his own leg in one piece. Yeah, they're like, you die faster. I mean, you die faster. Yeah, it's like fucking he like he operates a floating ship run by ex pirates. Um, I think my next notes you haven't seen, but yeah, it's cool. Good shit. All right. We're going to skip love letters because I am in a rush. I have dinner and I'm already running late to it. Um, but we love you guys so much. We got a lot to talk about next week will be your ranking all the things that we were watching. Um, so very excited to do that. But until next week, guys, we love you so much and we'll see you there. Goodbye. Bye. Sorry. And now for my next number. I'd like to return to the class.
