Summary

This episode of Otaku's Anonymous features extensive discussion of anime episodes from Fire Force, Vigilantes, Hell's Paradise, and Sentenced to Be a Hero, with a focus on animation quality, character development, and narrative structure. The hosts also play a Pokemon fusion game where they rate combinations as 'chomp' (eat), 'chuck' (kill), or 'fuck', and discuss their best boy picks including Hypnosis Mic and Canadian Olympic hockey.

Insights
  • Human antagonists significantly improve shonen anime quality compared to monster-of-the-week formats, as evidenced by Sentenced to Be a Hero's shift to character-driven storytelling
  • Animation studios benefit from dedicated teams for high-quality sequences, though branding these separately (like 'Bones Film') creates confusion about production quality consistency
  • Fan communities will sexualize non-sexualized character designs through their own interpretation, making design criticism sometimes self-reporting of viewer bias rather than creator intent
  • Tournament-based narrative structures with audience voting (like Hypnosis Mic) create engagement but lack dramatic stakes needed for compelling storytelling
  • Anime revival projects risk franchise fatigue when multiple iterations exist without clear canonical hierarchy or narrative justification

You're right, he does. He does always do that. Even though we tell him, we tell him, stop doing the time, stank. You know what? I think they're stretchy. No! You think the legs themselves are physically stretchy? I think they bend. Oh, wait. There's an image of him doing this, but these are all... There is on the back, he's hitting like one of like an uppercut flex kind of situation, and it looks just deeply, deeply uncomfortable. Should we get into the cold? I think we're colding it right now. We're coldly opening? I think we're coldly opening right now. If this is our coldly open, I'm about to be way meaner to this. We're doing our toy section here. I got the Netflix's live action second season for One Piece coming out here pretty soon. You know, this is promo. This is exactly the promo they were looking for. Netflix's season two for One Piece coming out, me and Daniel are both very excited about it. Season one was very good, but they hit me up, and by they, I mean, I don't know, some intern somewhere was like, hey, you talk about anime, you want some like One Piece live action merch, and I was like, that could be potentially cool, I guess. Potentially. Well, yeah, there is always the potential. And so they sent me a bunch of toys, and as you can see, and I don't know how well you can see on the camera here, but I'll punch it in front of Danny's camera here. All of the toys are modeled after the live action designs here. So if you can see, Chopper doesn't look like the Chopper from the anime or the manga. He looks like Chopper from the live action. Who doesn't even like really technically exist yet? But man, is it, they put a human face on a reindeer, and it is terrifying. Chopper is technically the best one because he's still like a CGI, like a little bear. But when you see it, as someone who knows what it looks like in the cartoon, you do look at it and you're like, oh, that's not exactly Chopper. Nope. It's like when you go to a gas station, you see them with like all of like, especially like gas stations like Mexico or like the southeastern or western parts of America. They have Shrok toys from the movie Shrok. They have Shrok toys or they have like Goku, like Super Saiyan 1000 or some shit. They have like Superman. Or that was, well, they have Goku. But he'll be called Superman. He's Superman. Yeah. These, and then when you get into like the human toys, it gets rougher. I think Luffy's may be the worst one. Oh, Luffy's hair literally just looks like like black broccoli kind of coming out of his hat. Just doesn't look like them at all. And then Zoro with the sword in his mouth. I don't know if you can really see, but Zoro can put a sword in his mouth. Yeah. And it's just harrowing. It's just frightening. It looks like a like a nutcracker. He is inches away from a bad like all of his teeth being ripped out horrifically. These are such like, I buy such luxury toys. You do? From Laylo. And that's why I thought that you're going to be excited about this because you can move all of them. Well, kind of. They're augmentable. Zoro looks like it hurts him to be moved. 100%. If you look at him on the back, it's like biting down on that sword. Yeah, they really broke his legs. Is it because his eyes are too like because he's biting into a sword. So you would assume because he's like biting his face would be scrunched. His eyes are wide open. His eyes are dead like a fishes. But I buy such like high quality toys now that I'm not like in touch anymore with what your common $15 toy looks like. It looks like a Popeye toy. What do you think these what do you think these cost? I'd hope like 15 bucks, right? I mean, yeah, but inflation. No, but inflation, of course, it's also officially licensed from Shoeisa and Netflix. That can't mean multiple heads. Should we open them in quality? Check them. You want to open it? You told me you want to save it. I seriously doubt these live action one piece figures are going to increase in value. We'll keep chopper closed. Yeah, we'll keep chopper closed because that's probably the only one that actually stands a fairer decent chance of increasing in value. I just tear this open. I'm using my broken lava stone Mayan blades. Yes. Imagine imagine like 30 years from now. They're like, oh, the unsealed box live action fucking one because like, hey, this is what they look like back in season two or like season 12 with the real 60 one of one. Do you want my knife? No, I can throw it to you. Got him so close. Are you sure? Don't. All right. I just want to know if Luffy stretches. I just wanted if I if you're going to give me anybody, don't give me. Oh, oh, what? I mean, he's just he's just in there, dog. He's absolutely in there. Yeah. I don't know. I would have to guess like 20 bucks. I would listen. This looks like an old like Popeye toy. It looks like a G.I. Joe, but smaller. No, his arms don't stretch. His arms don't stretch. And so I don't understand they have him doing like a big like Rosie the Riveter on the back. You're going to have to tell me as to whether or not these are high quality toys or not because like I'm oh, look at that. Can't tell me that's not high quality. Look at that. What's he's supposed to be doing? Oh, look at this. Oh, it does. That's get bent, Luffy. I mean, I guess that makes sense. I mean, he's he's a bendable guy. You could see you could see the fucking horrors. I'm oh, dude, they're so they're so stuck in there. So he can hold two blades, but he can also have three blades on his hilt. So he's actually a five blade user. Uh-huh. Relax, relax. His arms is all right. That's his arms are supposed to do that. Don't worry. I'm I'm trying to figure out. All right. I'm trying to figure out how to get this sword in here. Cali, you know what? He's not that bad except it feels weird. I don't like toys that look like a real man. Oh, 100%. Like not even like like a G.I. Joe can like kind of look human, but like you're like, oh, I'm playing with McEnnewee right now. Yeah, like I feel like there's a fair decent chance at some moment in my life. I will meet McEnnewee like at a premiere or some shit. Probably like the one piece live action premiere. And you're like, Hey, I did this to your joints. Yeah. Like, Hey, remember when I remember when I twisted your arm all the way backwards here? Yeah, this is oh man. Oh God, I don't even I think I think I've accidentally I think okay. His arm looked like it was beyond repair for a second there. I was briefly like, you know what? This isn't that bad of a toy and he's just like all of his joints are like really bizarre. I mean, that's that's kind of honestly, it's kind of on brand for Luffy though. I want to count the fact that like his joints are inherently bizarre. You know what though? Get him stretching and he's not bad. Well, I mean, get him get him bending. He's not a stretcher. Well, that's true. He can't straight. He apparently that version Anoki could do it. The bend bend fruit, not the not the gum gum fruit. I can't eat. There we go. Oh, stretchy Luffy is kind of sick. This is not bad. That's not bad. Entertainment wise. I like this. This is pretty good. I don't I don't I think I think I've actually fucked up Zorro. I don't know. I think I've literally made his arm. I don't know if I can ever fix. Oh, never mind. We're good. Oh, yeah, dog. Look at this. Look at this. Him with just one arm is unsettling. That looks like I can't get it back. It looks like a cautionary tale about masturbating. It's like this boy jerked off so much his arm is his arm stretched out. Never returned. Let me do like he doesn't look like he looks like a guy waiting in the line at the DMV like it's to his face is chopper comes with. Three four faces chopper comes with four faces Zorro gets to. Yeah, it's the issue with playing with a toy that vaguely looks like a real man is that it feels like a bit of his soul is stuck in. Oh, 100% 100. Oh my God, his ankles can bend. Why is that a thing that you'd be able to do anyway? Wow, that's bad. Wow, that's bad. That looks like the first the first real case of elephantitis. Yeah. So anyway, which we move on. Yeah. So that toy. I didn't this just coming at you. What's fucked is that in the one piece universe? There's the long arms and long legs tribe. So he's just like he's just like a half breed of both. It's like here. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on to that for me. Okay. Oh, see him put Zorro's head on Lufthier genius. No, I don't think so. Is it okay if I maybe break this? I am literally trying my hardest to get one of these fuck ass heads out of here. Oh my God. I made Zufi. You gotta assume this is exactly what Soesha wanted when they sent me these toys. It's my O.C.'s. Wait, give me Lufthier's head. Give me Lufthier's head. Oh, fuck. I wonder if it works with chopper. I wonder if it works with chopper. Really tough. His head is clearly not going to. It's too big. Oh my God. Yeah. Wait, no. Oh, yeah, there's different. There's different shapes. Wow. What? Wow. That's that is just awful. This is tough. This is something, huh? It's Loro. He looks pretty good. It's everyone's favorite hero. Loro. Why is his head so small? I don't. I. I. I. I. Gum gum bell is the only answer I have for you. All right, everyone. Jesus. Here. Take it. Please. I don't want. I just put it directly in the trash. Put it. Please put it directly in the trash. Don't send us things. Don't ever send us things unless they're really cool. Or. Actually, never mind. Just don't send us things. We can't even take care of our own goddamn phones. I hate it here. My real cold open this week was going to be he has six swords. This iteration of Zoro has six swords, which actually is not inaccurate considering his Oshara form, which also has six plates. Uh, fucking. Uh, but before we go any further, let's talk about the sponsor of today's episode, Better Help. Me and Danny made a promise over Valentine's Day while we were out with each other staring each other's eyes that we would vow to be better podcasters for you, our incredible listeners. And while you might not have seen the most drastic of changes in us quite yet, the therapy that me and Danny have been getting recently, not couples therapy, we're doing fine and has told us that change happens incrementally and that once you're able to turn those incremental changes into habits, well, those are habits you'll have for the rest of your life. So while I would love to stop spoiling anime and Danny would love to, I don't know, be less of an E boy, these things take time, but we're making steady steps every single day with the help of our sponsor, Better Help. I mean, Danny don't have to be alone on this journey to betterment as you could join us. See, Better Help makes it incredibly easy to get started with their platform. All you have to do is fill out a quick questionnaire after which you'll be matched with a therapist specifically tailored to your needs and wants within just a couple of days. However, if that match isn't a match made in heaven, it is completely free and easy to switch therapists on Better Help, all to ensure that you get a therapist tailored to your needs. So what are you waiting for? Join me, Danny, and the 6 million other people on the platform who have started their journeys to better health.

My real cold open this week was going to be the fact that I apparently helped Danny Mota raise the dogs. I remember- Yeah, you did. What are you being a psycho about this? I helped you- I helped you- You helped me. I helped you and Sarah raise the dogs. You think dogs are done getting raised after two months? I think dogs are done getting raised by us when they got adopted by everybody else. You said I helped you- Yeah, and then they get raised more by the people who- Not by you, Daniel. I raised Penelope actively. You raised one of them. I'm actively raising Penelope. She is actively being raised 100%. You want to get into semantics about it? I'll get real sematical with you, dog. You want to give the listeners context? No. Okay, good. I made a video about- So one of the people who- Not one of the people. I guess someone who adopted one of the dogs that Nick raised, partially unhelpful by me- Yes. That Nick raised, they adopted Muffin Man, who was always the most handsome of the batch. Always the most handsome. Always a really pretty dog. Yeah, and now he's named rather appropriately Bradley Cooper. Yeah, he's got beautiful eyes. He is genuinely like a gorgeous dog. This woman has him and she's like on TikTok and she posts about him. Yes. And he's fucking ginormous. He's like, he'll like lay on her bed and he looks like a sea monster. Because he's so like, he's got a perfect point that his head ends in- He weighs 60 pounds now. He's huge. He's huge. He's sleek. Yeah. And I feel pretty ripped off because Penelope is this ugly bat dog of a monster. I got a photo from Daddy yesterday where it was just a close-in image. It was from Ava did a bark, but it was a zoomed in image of a fucking piece lip stuck on her teeth mouth full of dirt because Danny finally got his backyard closed in. Yeah, she won't stop eating dirt. Sarah's trying to make a garden and she runs in the batch. She takes a big mouth full of dirt, chomps it. I think probably swallows. What all that I care about is that Penelope will come running inside covered in mulch. Yeah. And just get it everywhere. And Sarah's like, she was eating dirt and I'm like, clean her before she gets in. Stop giving her free access to either dirt or the home. I'm like, get her to stop doing that. God, who cracks first Penelope or Sarah? Either she stops gardening or Penelope stops eating dirt. She, Sarah just like gets a kick out of it. And I'm like, our whole fucking house smells like dirt now. It's all dirt in here. Went from something like fish to dirt. This thing sucks. Why, why, why did it smell like fish? Because we had to get her anal sacs desacked or whatever. Fucking anal glands. Yeah, that specifically fills you. I've never had to deal with this. Dogs have anal glands that like hold all of their scent that they use like Mark's sense and shit. And occasionally you'll have to pay a vet tech $35 to finger your dog and squeeze it out. It's crazy. Awful. It's heinous. But so yeah, so that's been a nightmare. And I made a video about how much my dog sucks in comparison to this stunning but of a prized hippo, Bradley Cooper. The worst part is that they have the exact same colorway. They're both like black and white, but like Ava just got her to Penelope just got the weird spots. Yeah, but I do love Penelope with all of my heart. People were like, I thought you liked her. I do like her. You can be. Danny loves, Danny's obsessed with Penelope. I love Penelope. She's incredible. Um, way uglier than Bradley Cooper. So ugly, but also that make cause like imagine you had a really handsome dog and then you had Ava. It's like the real cheerleader effects, right? Like you don't want a really handsome dog around Ava cause Ava like is like closer, like closer identifiable as a critter than a dog. I would say I'll send you pictures of Penelope looking ugly and you're like, she wasn't like this when I had her. What? Why is being in proximity of Ava teaching her to be ugly? It's contagious. It's contagious. Ugliness. Yeah, she's catching her ugly. I think I last time I saw Ava, I said that she, if I like saw her in the dark in the woods while I was walking home, I would say like, oh, she's like a big, like a big foot. What is the fucking? I forgot the word last time. Cryptid. Yeah. I would say like Ava looks closer to a cryptid than a dog. Here's Penelope's head stuck in a bucket. Oh, that's good. That's good. That's good. It seems like she's like actively trying to destroy any and all attempts. Sarah has a gardening. Yeah. 100%. Wow. Okay. Well, that's our, that's our cold opening here because Danny said that I helped him raise the dogs when in actuality, I scrubbed poop out of eight dogs for for two months. You helped me raise Penelope and I'm now, I took the baton and now I'm raising the rest of her. Yeah. Yeah. You're raising what's left of her. Yeah. She's still yearning for the home. Uh, but anyways, not that much to talk about this week. That's probably why we're so deep into our cold open, um, on account of toys and Penelope and Ava. Um, some big news here from the Olympics. Uh, we'll talk about in the news. Uh, we'll talk about my best boy, which is the gays. Uh, but first we have four animated talk about this week, which is we got a new episode from fire force vigilantes sentenced to be a hero and hell's paradise. We did not get a new episode from either Freerun or JJK and if you're thinking, damn, that means. Anime must have been bad this week. You'd be wrong. Anime was great this week. Anime was so goddamn good this week. Uh, would have loved more for your loved more JJK, but anime was great this week and we have a bunch of games we're going to play to pat out the time. But before we go any further with today's episode, I want to talk to you about our sponsor rocket money. How much time would you say you spend every single month making sure that your finances are in order? I know that I personally spend way too much time at it. Controlling seven plus revenue streams is almost impossible without the right tools and for me, rocket money is that right tool. See rocket money is a personal finance app that helps find and cancel your unwanted subscriptions, manage your finances and lower your bills. Also, you can grow your savings and for me, it's not only ensure that I'm worrying less about my finances every single month, but also making sure that I'm spending less time working on them. So I have more time to be working for you, but outside of the fact that rocket money has been saving me time and also attracts my subscriptions and allows me to cancel my unused ones in the app with just a couple of taps. Once again, saving me time, but also this time saving me money, which it also does by consolidating my checking savings, loans and investments all in one easy to understand dashboard to give me the clearest possible picture of my financial situation, which I can then use to make better informed investments, growing my savings. So what are you waiting for? Let rocket money let you reach your financial goals faster. Join at rocket money dot com slash o a that's rocket money dot com slash o a rocket money dot com slash o a. So Daniel, what was the worst episode of this week? And why was it? Do you not want me to answer? Why was it? Oh, why was it sent us to be here? It sent us to be here. A hundred percent. Actually. Yes. And it wasn't a bad episode. There's a lot of cool shit in this episode. Relax. Relax. Relax. Shand you let the fact that we were like, oh, Zylos. Zylos actively betrothed the hottest woman ever penned to paper. Very regular looking anime woman. Okay. In an anime heaven forbid a man have taste. I don't know what you want from me here. I'm just saying when anime is the medium. Hmm. Where is it? Sends me here. I want to do like I want to say what episode number episode seven of it's seven to be a hero today. Hmm. Good stuff. I wrote first note because it's titled like. A misadventurous day off or whatever. I wrote a day off episode the same week. There's no free run or JJ K is the worst luck in anime history. Yeah. It's about as bad as it gets. Like what an opportunity for said to be here to pull ahead. Be like, Hey, I know. I know you want JJ K and free run, but here's a great episode from us and it's like they're going to a hot springs aren't they? Yeah. I've officially switched to sub. I can't do dub anymore. I got like two and a half minutes and I was like, I can't. I just simply can't sub is great. Wow. It's so good. I really don't mind the dub. I really I like look forward to not having to read. There's so many simul dubs this season because like fire forces simul dub sent it to simul dubbed and everything is simul dubbed vigilantes of simul dubbed the only thing that is that a is that a cinnamon flavored tic tac cinnamon you had your fucking mind. I okay. I saw the red tropical baby drop. I haven't seen tropical tic tacs hit off. Yeah. Yeah, dog. Good catch from a bad throw. Okay. Listen, it was it was all that matters is it got here. Oh, little little little rainbow action. Man, I should have opened that before I threw it that have been hilarious. No, it would which everywhere dogs just licking up tic tacs for who me the guy who loses money on tic tacs or you the guy who has to pick them up. All of that. Yeah. That's when he called. He called the Hoover hounds dog. I guess. But yes. So we get a real nothing burger episode from sentence to be a hero this week where I was like they're going to do a beach episode and then they don't do a beach episode and then they just kind of like I don't even remember. He sees his reflection in the blade through when you stopped watching dub two minutes in. Did you also stop watching the whole episode? There's okay. So there's the wife we could introduce to the wife fiance fiance and she's like I still want you and then there's a little technical fiance. They're separated though. Yes. And then they go on. They they're they like basically used herita as like a lord to try and get these assassins out. Oh and then they get a fucking I forgot about hunchback guy forgot about a boy Ryu dude a boy Ryu who's like a demon blight. Oh that was actually pretty cool. He's like a demon lord and he stretches. Yeah. He's fucking Zufi. He was dude. He was Zufi. That's just that's that's no headed Luffy. That's Oofy. This is something that's how you play it's certainly you know what we're starting to get it. You know it's the way she never mind. You made a good toy. I feel like this is a toy you could whip a sibling with and they would cry. I was thinking that like the ad should be like quack. Yeah. You know what they're like destroy your little brother with that. Yeah. But the guy stretches. He looks like Yotaro's like fucking iron maiden love and dad. Yep. Um that was cool. I loved the lore about the dragoons. I keep expecting that guy's fucking those dragoons right a hundred a hundred percent. They're like the Dragoon fucker. They're like he's literally like he's like building out. I forget his name. It's like what a Jase. Jase I just said it. Okay gotcha. Jase is like building out a pen for his favorite and like his favorite Dragoon Neely and he's like don't worry Neely. I was I was just like making sure those other dragoons are okay. I didn't even look under their wings and I was like I did have tits under their way like what's happening. Yeah. And this dragon's getting like jealous when like the like other people around him like he's he's fucking these flying birds. Well it's fine because they're giving his backstory and they're like he's at first they're like what crime do he commit? He committed like such a nothing crime. He was like a prince. He was like a well they were like they were basically like oh he he became a hero for like petty thievery. Yeah and she's like Christ. Yeah it was so loud and she's like Teorita is like that seems extreme considering this is allegedly the worst sentence the kingdom could possibly give. Yeah. He's like oh also he started a dragon insurrection. Yes. They literally teach it in history. It's called Jase's insurrection. Yes. Jase's insurrection which is sick and he's like yeah and they you know he's a very valuable hero because dragons love him and I'm like that probably because probably the only one holding up to fuck these dragons. Um I love first off all I know about Dragoons is from Final Fantasy 14 in which Dragoons are like a dragon hunters. Oh and so to have a Dragoon that is pro dragon is really cool to me. Gotcha. Is that just loosely the plot of how to tame a dragon how to train your dragon. Gotcha fair. Um how to fuck your dragon. I was trying to figure out I think I wrote something down for this actually. Um I said this guy's fucking this dragon. Of course this guy blows up 300 knives per fight wants another one. Okay. Now hold up. Um how to Dom your dragon. That's that what that's what I had. I guess that's as clever as how to fuck your dragon. Yeah I was trying to get closer to how to train and I how to tame how to tame your. How do you have I was like I don't tame your bad bad dragon. I literally got what's so funny is I got a fucking I got a Instagram like comic the other day about like a guy saving this like heavy breasted dragon princess and bringing it back to the king and then he's like that's not my daughter and then it pans over and his wife is also a heavy breasted gigantic dragon. It's funny good stuff big week for fucking dragons is all I was going to say good I easily relatable content. I haven't seen RFIP's are very similar. Um yeah I just love the dragon shape. Jason's rebellion is really cool. Anytime they add lore I'm waiting for I'm waiting for it to be the most basic generic like fantasy anime lore where it's like oh like a lot of fantasy anime I've seen and I haven't seen a lot but usually the world feels like the most generic like JRPG. I played a lot of JRPG's actually in the world's always feel very like bland generic European fantasy play a lot of final fantasies I played dragon quest. What never I played dragon quest Inquisition. I was like this game second age dragon. Oh god dragon quest is different. Dragon Quest is Japanese as hell. Okay. Dragon Age is that so it's not Dragon Quest has like slimes and the art by a curatorial. What's dragon quest dragon quest every other character looks like trunks. Every other people story it's like maple story actually maple story. Wait oh my god wait what the fuck this is literally just that is are you looking at trunks now that one's Goku that one is just Goku if you look look up that's she she behind them this is all that's can he draw three characters I don't these are all just Dragon Ball characters yet Akira had like a couple character designs under his belt when it came to humans. This is insane trunks is one of them all of the art is just this is literally just fucking Dragon Ball. Dima yeah this is just Dima this is where he got the idea for Dima yeah that's insane waiting for you to find trunks look up 11 dragon there's 11 of these fuckers I didn't say it was the newest dragon quest 11. He's talking about he's talking about short hair baddie here yeah kind of looks like Android 17 honestly yeah who doesn't look dissimilar from the trunks very fair very very fair look he's got a sword this is both androids and trunks fused into one it's just what's Akira Toriyama's end goal here that's the Dragon Ball we would have got without his editors yeah three way fucking fusion dance they ought to just be like hey we're cool now he's like you don't understand they're all trunks they're all everybody's been trunks the whole time but what's it called I fucking yeah I'm just so used to like JRPG's having what feels like a very generic setting and then it's like what transpires in that setting that is unique you know like they all have a very paint by numbers like backdrop and then there's the blacksmith there's the merchant you know there's the guy you can like sell your fish to they love sitting like nestling within tropes and then doing the tropes like as well as they can like they'll have the best versions of tropes whereas like Western fantasy loves like subverting tropes the princess is an evil monster you know like or she's already been like she's already broken herself out by the time the night gets there exactly but this sense be hero anytime they drop some lore it's like some sick unique subversive shit so you liked the fact that the Dragoon the dragon rider doesn't hunt dragons he fucks him yeah so we can get his hey it was meaty clackers I like that he fucks the dragons I like the rebellion shit I like that he just looks like a Sonic the Hedgehog human OC that's incredibly fair I didn't know there was Sonic the Hedgehog human OCs there's if you type in Sonic the Hedgehog and then literally whatever you want something will come I I'm going to test that immediately Sonic the Hedgehog I misspelled head I know I got it Sonic the Hedgehog Sonic the Horge I'm gonna type in Sonic the Hedgehog horse okay let's see it's just it's just an inflated Sonic that's just yeah it's just like yeah it's like stuffed full of chili dogs category equines Sonic with his own fandom you can ride horses in some of the Sonic games by the looks of it here this doesn't know that's VR I hate when a Sonic the Hedgehog has him interacting with regular ass animals yeah you're like what do you mean you're like so some animals are still like slaves of humanity while you're a blue talking sound of the speed of Sonic fucking hedgehog every Sonic game has you roaming around just like that goes for horse his name is just a horse Sonic the comic wiki I love it's like I'm a horse and they're like horse the what horse I mean Sonic is literally just Sonic the Hedgehog I guess he has a name so he has a name it's Sonic every Sonic game has Sonic traversing through like real world like Italy or real world San Francisco this would fuck to me about like the Mario Galaxy games where I was like going through like Hong Kong is Mario's like what the why why why is there cars in this Mario universe where I stop turtles to death I need people to know I know Nick is talking about Mario Odyssey not Galaxy yes Mario Galaxy is one refly from Planet to Planet yeah but yeah Mario Odyssey you're in like the Bronx you can go to a jazz club where real like human men are playing and also that we have the sexiest mare known to man and they don't look like Mario Mario's six foot tall regular scale everyone's regular and then there's a three and a half foot tall meatball rolling their town squished in turtles and nobody bats an eye I love the fight with like the weird nights who like every time you block a punch from them it turns out their knives he was they punch any block with his forearms for him got all cut up and fucked because the man made of knives yeah punches like straight through his rap and then it's like literally turns into knives I also thought it was really funny that he was like hey Terry to what do you want for a gift and then she was like choosing a bunch of bullshit and it's like kind of like when you're out like like shopping with your girlfriend she's like I need this scarf and look have you considered a gaming PC and he's like he's like hey here's here's a gift have you considered knives and I was like of course the guy who has to like restock his inventory with all of his exploding knives wants Terry to have an extra one on at any given moment. Yeah. So I also said that like every fantasy anime in the history of fantasy we're building a harem we're up to three now that doesn't I don't know three's a harem two is the girl doesn't count she doesn't count I hope I listen I hope as well but like she's getting upset when other girls are talking to him kind of situation right it's a dynamic a dynamics being built Danny that's all I'm saying I hope she doesn't count and people will count her 100% I'm fine with like a fandom being awful as long as I have like plausible deniability that like the show itself isn't yeah the show's not doing anything weird with Terry to show the fans can be there's a game coming out called Pragmata okay look at Pragmata it's a both of you to under the to assume I know how to spell that pretty like immediately got it with like PR it's this new game coming out by Capcom what do you what's his face no it's cool it's cool there's what appears to be a little girl riding on I don't know a Titanfall character it's like a last of us deal where it's like you're you know grown man with a little girl and people are being I thought you were thinking I thought you're talking about the one where you're you're Daryl and you're walking around with a baby on your chest Death Stranding that's the one I was like I would call her a little girl those an infant no this is weird because it's like with half the controller you use her to like hack robots and the other half the control you control him to shoot them once their shields are hacked down so it's like you use the face buttons to do a little like mini game combo kind of like hell divers yeah you do like a mini game combo it drops their shields and then you shoot with the guy that's cool but people are being a weird and like whole subreddits have to get taken down people keep being weird about the little girl they're just like fetishizing her immediately yeah it's so weird because now there's this like debate where people are like coming after the game for it but I don't think it's the game's fault so like oh why are you sexualizing this little girl and I'm like I think she's just in like her daddy's oversized jacket she's she's wearing what appears to be a gigantic down jacket now objectively like it goes down to like her knees and she's not wearing shoes we don't know if she has shorts on maybe she doesn't have shorts but like you can't see it just looks like a little girl with like an oversized jacket yeah and when I first saw the trailer I was just like oh that's a good way to like in dear the player to her it's like a little kid wearing her his dad's like work clothes yeah 100% and people are like why are you making her look like fucking what's her name from Wolf of Wall Street like Margot Robbie like why why she running around in this oversized thing in no pants and it's like I think we're too serious I think she's just a little girl and like little girls are just gonna like not think practically about what they're wearing also if you sexualize this character if you're like oh why they sexualize this character that's like an inherently non sexualized design that's that's you internalizing the sexualization of this character that's a self report that is it's 100% self report that is kind of crazy the game itself looks fucking sick it's for the switch it's for everything I was gonna say I take I immediately take it back now I did that never mind it does not look good it's for the switch to need a replacing I know I'm good thanks thanks dog I house these I mean they go they go by real quick I thought yeah it was a fun there's a very fun like it's very fun fight where they get like oh the Steven Black table take on the appearance of a man and that was probably him and he's like talking about like how is that able to take the fire of the dragon so we need to dip kind of situation so it's like our new antagonist yeah but yeah it's a fun episode I just I just hope that the Terry does you know she can be like the cute little she's got a crush on silo she gets upset when Silo's with somebody else I just want to end up with a fucking late lead guard that's all I want yeah end up with a lead guard that's that's that's literally all I'm asking for yeah that's fair how do you feel now that we have like a human antagonist I don't really think that I think that's usually when I animate pop you're under that's honestly a really good point because we've been doing for the last seven episodes and that's like why I was like when we got to like the poison like demon like that killed in the castles like kind of bored with the show and I was like oh this fight's not that interesting I didn't realize it's because we're doing fucking we're doing monster the week yeah until what's funny though is like there wasn't much of a there's not much of a universe to set up like the power system is not complicated the world's not that complicated like we haven't learned anything really additional since like episode three new character Jesus rebellion of course new characters have been introduced like those new characters like the thing is like yes the reason that we're like on episode eight now and we're just now getting to like what feels like the first arc is because the first seven episodes all introduce a new character I'm fine with it being a character driven show 100% because they're interesting but there's also like are they all going to be around all the time I don't know I was also wondering that like yes like all of eight you know I was wondering if it's like a party of like all of these heroes because it kind of feels it's sad nor go the fucking Venetian dola insane you know these names Zylo Terrida Jace seven I think it's literally up to seven people that there's like the miners we're going to introduce to like the top corporation people who are like putting their bodies back together as a guy with like the fucking like the clock and the long hair keeps pulling up I wonder if it's going to be like a Naruto situation where like here's the Kono 11 hope like them you'll never see them again not necessarily I think it'll be like they'll send a mix and match diversions out on missions and then they'll come back home and we'll like regroup with the whole cast you know it's like Zylo and Norga I'll go and do something yeah Tatsuya Tatsuya there's eight of them that's an arc they come back Zylo and the sniper will go and do something they come back can't believe you don't know any of these names I'm fucking my job he's all like it's all I'm sharp but yeah I really think these shonen or Saini anime get good once human antagonists are introduced 100% once you're no longer fighting the big blob every single week which actually ironically was what was fought in vigilantes but we're not talking my vigilantes yet because I that's that's going to be at the very end that's that's my best episode of the week by far way to spoil it what's the point of us doing this in order I'm you don't have no one has to know what yours is but eventually that obviously okay I fucking they were probably able to deduce that I'm very good episode but let's talk about the second worst episode of this week which I would say is probably a great story like monsters Inc stays with you forever and Disney class is where you'll find your next great story from the return of the award-winning hit series rivals welcome to the naughtiest show on television to the unmissable crime drama high potential got a dead body got to go a lifetime of great stories awaits this spring on Disney plus 18 plus subscription required T's and C's apply I think you're right. I think it's probably fire force. There's a lot going on in fire force right now unfortunately I watched all these last night when I got home from Disney and I was a little drunk and so the memories not all there but it all comes back eventually and that's the fun part of it so then how about you tell me how you felt about this episode of fire force don't do that I also barely paid attention. All right good. It was good we learned more about girl with the crown of her. How may I and Kyron's backstory about how she can hear the thoughts of everyone around her. Yeah, well we always knew that I thought yes. Yeah. We we got to see who I've found out they call it Chiron. Yeah. Bad. Yeah, but I mean like technically I guess like kind of phonetic like a CHI or a but shy Chiron. Yeah, but it should be Kyron. I call him Kyron. I don't give a fuck but we got to see like the origin of her like all the emotions and thoughts are flooding into her head and like if it makes you feel better you can take your aggression out on me. Yes. And then she like grabs a fucking lantern and it's going to town and love he's like she slaps him and I wish he was like you need to take it out on me and then she hit some of the lanterns like oh not with that. What the fuck was that? Listen I can absorb things just tell me do what to activate it before you start swinging lanterns. God give a mouse a cookie why don't you? Oh my god you never know you get a new protector. Yeah somebody else can deal with this bullshit. So that happened. I thought that was really well done like yeah. I thought all Kyron's backstory is awesome. That was very cool. I also liked at the end fucking Arthur seemingly finally kills the bug. Yes, yes by like stabbing you through the head and they're like how the fuck did you do that and he was like proto pilot like proto plastic blade and we're like what what you stabbed the child straight through his brain and just nuked the bug in there. Listen he could have said pie and I'd have to believe him. Unfortunately it just come down to like advanced physics and math at the end of the show and you'd have to be like you know what don't ask questions. Yeah big eye gets summoned big eye gets something and people are like how is there a big eye in the sky. They look at the moon. Moon's got teeth the eye the sun is bleeding the sun is actively bleeding as it smiles and the moon has teeth. The eye is not the craziest thing of all time. It was very funny watching Keita Habana. Keenata Habana. Habana Habana is like trying to like figure out like scientifically how all of this happening and it's like you watched Benny Maru turn the ocean into art a day ago. This is not surprising nor should it be. It's nonsense. It's nonsense. People just up and vanished into a black flame alternative version of this earth. Yeah people just blow up into fire because they're they're fucking doppelgangers get too close to them. That's it. At the end also we got to see one of like the none looking women not she's not a none but like well she is kind of her doppelganger shows up. It's pretty cool. Yeah it's all that you see all the doppelgangers and so all the doppelgangers did you see there's another one that was in the front. At the very very front I can just tell you who odds Benny Maru stop doppelganger. I must have missed it. Yeah it's he's got the X over his eye. Oh that's holding a pole and he's got the X over his eye that's Benny Maru doppelganger. I also watched this a couple days ago and just like absolutely spaced it out here. Yeah the apocalypse is happening. Yes I feel like unfortunately the animation and the sound design of the beginning of the episode kind of undersold the importance of the second cataclysm coming right like it was like oh hey by the way the thing we've been building towards this entire time is happening and I was like oh this is like I'm getting like still frames and the sound design like lacking unfortunately. I was thinking about this last night where I was like I keep forgetting this is the end of Fire Force. Oh yeah we have like seven episodes left. I don't know. Yeah like just about we're very close to the end here but I did like that like we got like all of the different like art styles and all that they're like popping into like real world imagery and it was like they're like combining animation with like real world videos and it was like very deeply unsettling and that's like kind of what it's supposed to be and then I just I to this day I think Iron is one of my favorite antagonists of all time. Wow. You so you're not like moved by him as a character. I think he's good. Yeah I like him. I think I think you're forgetting a lot of his like most iconic moments. He's pretty he's pretty sick. He's just I didn't expect that out of you. He's like so you remember the moment when they're at Hygium Industries and the new pillar comes out it's like the kid who the other guy who is like the smoke ability likes bullying ace or whatever. What what what what no so Joker is like the guy with the eye patch but there's the guy with like the two carbon knives and all the bandages like burns himself up. He like the Hygium Industries they had the kid and he like launches a nuclear blast and like how may I or like because the nuclear blast might kill him. Kyron has to eat an entire nuclear blast and it's so funny because like in this episode he's like holding the line in front of this door to make sure that like Company 8 can't get into Amatarsu and they're like there's a limit as they shoot him a bunch like he's got a limit and I'm like guys he ate a nuclear blast and then redirected it at the moon and blew up half of it. There is no limit to what he can accomplish. He also is like you're right. There is a limit lie. Yeah. I feel like I can do this forever but keep going. Yeah. Just keep firing and then just blows himself up and it's just like a perfect amount of explosion that doesn't destroy Amatarsu the thing needed for the second category. Yeah. So I fucking do not love Kyron so much. Is he knowing that they're gonna win like there's no way the bad guys know the bad guys there's no way the bad guys don't win. What do you mean? Like there's gonna win like the Cataclysm happens or it's into soul leader. Yes it's like literally already happening. Yeah. Yeah. So like they win using the bad guys turned into soul eater. Oh so it's well I guess you're right because they want to turn into a son so they're gonna mitigate it and turn it into the best possible goofy ass cartoon ass goofy ass cartoon ass where the God of the universe is literally death. I know well at least I always thought I never finished soul leader. I was always like you knew this you know I guess I forgot you never fit you like you know I understand you never finished your reaction. Yeah. You never finished the show. Period. I like don't watch it if I'm not reacting. You were like 40 out of 60 episodes into it. I was like 17 into it. I got to like when the first like a big arc was starting to happen. Yeah. Yeah. The one with the zombies. Sure. Yeah. Yeah. And a werewolf maybe. Yeah. Yeah. It's been a while since I rewatched it. I honestly don't remember much about soul eater at all for being entirely real. I was waiting for like the twist to be they're all dead. And I guess I still don't know if that's true but it's not but that would have been a lot of fun. Yeah because death is there and the moon sucks. The moon does suck. Yes. I mean like it kind of gets explained at the end of Fire Force which is fun. Well you understand more about soul eater as a universe at the end of Fire Force. It's really cool actually. But yeah I think were you satisfied with how Giovanni died. Getting stabbed through the head of a. Yeah but did you feel like he was anti-climactic or no. No because we got like his fight in the previous episode. Yeah. And also it's kind of a cool like harkening back to when Arthur in episode three like just presses his hill to the back of that one inferno and ignites it. Yeah. I thought it was pretty cool. They make him put away the axe and they're like hey like yeah we don't make like the family's not going to see us like bring all of these murder weapons in to put their family down season one season one and season two are great season three has been OK. I do love that it is in everyone's best interest defeated to Arthur's delusions though like we've gotten to the point now we're like imagine. All right. Let's say this is a hypothetical I have for you. I like let's say I became the world's best podcaster. I'm like I have this clip I have this clip we're going to blow up but in order to do it you have to like basically tell me that I'm God incarnate. How far do you go. I guess I probably suck your dick on camera. I that's like that's the thing I was like man if Danny was just like a clip machine but all I had to do was convince him that like he is a knight. I do it. Yeah. Hundred I'll let you ride a horse upstairs. I don't know how we get it downstairs. I'd like you try and figure it out. Just hear a bunch of banging and like like desperate whinny and you're like we have a surprise today guys. It's getting smashed. It's the bad but oh yeah. Oh dude that'd be bad. We're just here. How close was it. It's like one eye is hanging out like I bet news brother me and Danny were thinking about getting a donkey for the podcast because this house is infiltrated by coyotes. Yeah. All right. With that out of the way let's talk about our third best or worse. I can't believe I said that was better than sentenced to be a hero. I thought it was and then I realized how little I remembered about this hero was actually a very good episode. It was really cool. That's a great. I guess a great sound bite for me to finally get you to admit that sentence had the worst episode of the week. It didn't. It turns out. No it actually was very good. What health paradise. 100% this was pretty good. Yeah. Yeah. I mean there's a reason we're putting it this high. My first note is that these brothers kiss when no one's looking and that is a note about Toma and also. Yeah. This is the episode where the brothers kiss. Let me see which I second that Toma just started doing Aussa's like hair and he was like this is your sign that you like when you're lying you undo your braid. I'm like oh they kiss that that is some fucking or on high school house close to the most twins you've ever seen in your entire life. Um the twins would kill this is why I have I have no hesitation to me when I think that I said the twins the twins have killed people. Yeah. 100% the twins are the most competent coolest best characters in or on high school house club. Yes. The only issue is that they're fucking each other. Yes. And like in order to keep that a secret kind of like the Lannisters I think they've killed and people love being like no they're just playing up the trope at work to fucking like to get people into the host club. I just reacted to an episode episode coming out this month where they're at home. No one knows they're in their bedroom. Yeah. Both wake up in the same bed together. Yes. One shirtless the others actually naked. Yeah. And they're just draped over each other as they should be. No one's as they shouldn't be. You're the problem. I'm not the problem. I'm just saying I'm just saying this. They've listen if they knew you were watching they'd kill you. That's the government information. No exactly. You get kicked out like brand Targaryen. It's like the reverse. No. That's no stark brand stark. There it is. It's like reverse the target or reverse the Lannisters where if you found out they were straight and not actually hooking up behind closed doors they'd kill you. They were like they're like you get caught on a date like one of them doesn't have the other with them. They're like you you have to be killed. Yeah. This episode yeah House Paradise. Yeah this was pretty rad. It was awesome. So it's a cool interpretation of a two on one fight. Yes. So there's a couple of different like like uneven fights. So it's awesome and Toma versus Juva and then Dragon Blade and the other assignment versus Tau Fah the brother and sister kind of that are always fucking and like changing their gender. They do the Bochujutsu and man it just opens so cool with them just like slicing down Juva and too far or Jal Fah and too far whatever their names are and like you decapitate the girl and she gets all muscular and I was like literally I was like I think I just learned something about myself because Tau Fah just got hotter when she got muscular like she grows like huge muscles and I'm like yeah no I could die to that. I could 100% die to that. I love that they like swap genders for combat purposes sometimes like they did that in season one too or like they'll swap to like the feminine body because it's like less mass to like dodge a punch and they'll swap to like the masculine body because there's more muscles and then just fucking to rock someone in the ring. Yes, smaller hitbox. It's literally Toto. Oh because he's swapping positions with somebody I guess kind of this is bullshit. What do you mean? He's annoys me that they're like he's like oh my ability is strong because the opponent is expecting a light dainty punch from Yuji but instead they're getting a meaty fat punch from me. I also like Toto is like he can just swap himself or whatever he wants with like whatever he designates with his percentage with something else. Right exactly but when it's disgustingly broken but when they're fighting Hanami in season one. Yeah the gimmick is that Hanami's not ready for like the mass displacement of Yuji to Toto and it's like it'd be more disorienting if you're swapping places with Hanami. Yes like Yuji goes to punch Toto and then he swaps with Hanami and then Hanami's got a knuckle sandwich. 100% or like fucking swap positions with Hanami's liver. You know I'm just like can you do that? No I like if you could see it maybe because he can like swap positions with like crows and rocks. So it's like swaps with their eyeballs. Yeah literally in there. It's literally just the fucking twigs at Hanami's eyes like like what's actually what Yuji or Gojo literally does that. He just pulls them out but no like I anytime when they're explaining that where it's like oh he's not expecting such a forceful or light punch it's like just fucking clap and make make her turn around. If that's enough. If Toto's not attacking me with anybody else I'm just hitting I'm hitting metal pits. I'm hitting metal pit moves. I'm just literally in there. I'm like playing classic little brother defense. Just swinging around. I'm kicking up as high as I can. I'm like a fucking I'm like a 55 year old metalhead who just saw a 12 year old try to mosh bitch. Fucking straight meal of death. Um but uh yeah so it's sick in Hell's Paradise. Yeah the two brothers fight and there's a really cool effect where they're like their opacity is like overlapping each other because it's like when one finishes a punch the other is there like impossibly soon. Yeah I also love that all the Lord Tenzin just want to die. Yeah that was a crazy kind of twist. They're talking to Ju Fun. She's like you have no idea what it's like to be immortal like I would love love love love for you to be able to kill me but you can't. No I didn't I don't think that's what she was saying. She was saying because he was like aren't you or you're probably having fun. You love torturing humans and they were like this isn't fun for me at all and it wasn't that like being immortals dull. They're upset that they'll never achieve true immortality. Yeah they're upset they have to keep working this factory. Exactly of Tan. They have to keep Laura she was like I have to keep lowering humans in turning them into tan and then like this process just begins again when we run out of essentially our drugs. Yeah so they would prefer to stay immortal. It's just they want to stop having to like work for it. You think I think what she's saying I think it's also about because like when one of when Moudon dies that's like the one Lord Tenzin they've killed like these he's like smiling and he's like thank you. I like I finally get to rest kind of like I think all of the Lord Tenzin actually just want to die. Yeah I think Ju Fun is kind of getting into that. I also said that I think Gontetsu who is the Dragon Sword is going to be half a body by the time that the story is done. What a menace. Didn't love the didn't love just watching a guy pop an eye out with his already gone handed hook. What an absolute menace this dude belongs in the pantheon of like impeccable anime side characters with like a rock Lee with a fucking I saw a isawa. Yeah this is that is a standout move. That's as good as it gets if you can make me go. That's like that is a classic side character hitter. I also love that he doesn't want to learn Tao but he's just like I fucking figured it out. I just have to be blind for it. That's your kind of copying she owned swag there brother. I wrote just close your eyes. That'll do. He's like oh yeah this is blurry. He's like well I can't stop using this I super can super can she own literally wraps things over his eyes. Just do that. I look at cut over this I cut over the side. I don't that works. I wonder if it's like the Batman the dark night rises thing where he's like he can't make the jump in the pit with a safety net like you can't just close your eyes. You need to commit to like I need to just look at Tao. Yeah man that move made me think like broken back. That's easy to fix that's pretty much the easiest thing to fix. I could think of actually it's so easy to fix. You can then walk from like Saudi Arabia to Pittsburgh with a freshly a freshly healed crack back because somebody just got a fucking whoop because somebody like literally yanked on you a little bit. What a fucking chiropractic sigh off that Christopher Nolan was trying to beam into our heads. Does it take like maybe your entire lifetime to hopefully recover from a friend who had a displaced disk. It was like seven millimeters displaced. She had like full under all day surgery is like barely walking has like walk around with a girdle is like two weeks out of the surgery literally has to like like like like Natalie not Natalie Portman Kira Knightley our friend Natalie Portman or friend Natalie Portman Kira Knightley and Pirates of the Caribbean. You know that scene where she passes out because her girdles. Oh yeah. Yeah like basically that's what she has to do. Look she's wearing like a like literally a waist trader to keep her spine together. It's crazy. I know this person. I was who show I was at the other day and you said no I don't know. Oh so I don't know them. You I think you've met them. I don't know you have. No I don't know. I don't know who you I don't know who you do and do not know. You're coming you're coming to events nowadays. You're going you're going to tea days on Saturdays. I have no idea. Imagine being at an event. I was working. I don't know how you meet anybody. Honestly I stopped going to a that I'm not an IRL I have no reason to network. It's so good. It's so good. Oh yeah no reason to network at your girlfriends best friends home event. I was working all day. I was working all day. I literally. Yeah your boss is pretty rough on you. You can get out of that one. The only day everyone had freedom in their schedule. I needed to get Keith and Enzo on a car shoot all day work from nine to four awful twice this week. Nick has told me he'd be at an event and then bail. Oh mother fucker. We need to talk about that. We talk about hypnosis Mike before we get individual edge. We talk about hypnosis Mike. You want me to be my best boy. My best boy. Hell yeah dog. I told Joe's first up the reason I didn't go to hit you tell me you don't tell me dick until the day of you were like I'm going but you were like I'm hungover. I was like there's no way Danny wants to go and then I did. So we talk about it on the week. There's no JJ care free. That's very honestly very impressive. Yeah very very impressive. I've been sleepy. Oh I think I've been just a little. Your wife is a wall. There's a wall. You got to drive an hour and back every day to a podcast. We every day we do seven podcasts a week. We just scrap six of them. I mean the other six are just not worth it for you my book. I don't know why the ones we do on Mondays they always work out. That's what we're such perfectionists. We literally do the same podcast seven times. We're like fuck all right. We'll use the Monday one again. It's got to be good. Actually you don't know this could have been recorded weeks ago. Yeah Thursday's getting better. Thursday's what getting better. Our pods are our third Thursday pods. Yeah that's fair. I think we're good. Yes and I you're sometimes you do like improv and you do it in your regular voice and I'm just like I don't know. Sorry I don't do by the way those Thursdays are you got to hand it up for me. You literally have to like give me like a fucking like a skunk face. So I try and figure it out here. All right. We'll do it. No since Mike later. Let's talk about vigilantes. Sure. Wow. Oh are we done with hell's I guess so. I mean yeah I mean there's pretty great. I wrote I love the anime community needing a definition of the word phallus. At the end he's like the more you heat and beat it the stronger it becomes and then she goes a phallus. There's a little definition in the corner and the other guy goes a sword. What the fuck is a phallus. No way. What is a phallus. You know what phallic. I know what phallic is as in like in referred to like the shape of a penis. Then take a guess. Phallus most commonly refers to a popular romantic pairing of Alice Cooper and F.P. Jones from the C.W. series Riverdale. Hold on. So now now. How did you know I'm more confused. I spell it. Oh F.A. Wrong. Nick use context clues. Phallus. Phallus. Phallic is F.A. L.I.C. It's not. Phall. Oh and you should know this because I gave you a fucking definition this episode. Phallus refers primarily to an obsolete middle English term meaning deceit trickery or fraud. It's derived from the old French phallus and Latin felicia. Well sometimes. Oh Felicia. I know Felicio. Uh well sometimes it's how are you spelling this F.A. No. God. What's happening. Are you goofing me right now. I'm gonna throw my whole smoothie at you if you're goofing me. I would love more smoothie right now dog. I'd eat a hum num num num num. I'll take the 600 calories left in that fucking blue gorilla. You're proving this stupid cat stupid anime right. Ph. You know what phallic means. Take an educated guess you fucking whack. Washed up scientist phallus. Is a tight rectangular. I'm done. I'm pressing record and we're ending this podcast right now. Stay away from that. I have a knife. Uh phallus is um. I don't who gives a shit. Who cares anymore. We have shit to do especially when erect typically used with reference to male potency or dominance. Yeah I know what a phallus is. I'm so close. One of these days you're gonna push me too far. Oh oh I'm gonna push you too far. I was so close. I'm so close just taking this off and just pouring. How many apology texts have I had to send after the end of this podcast? He's such a whiny little bitch. Oh says the man threatening smoothie violence. You're such a little baby. Oh I am the baby. At the end of podcast where I go that was a good one and you go yeah I guess. I can't do I can't do some like. And then you cry into Dorothy Shinn's because she's too tall. I can't do some light fucking thoracis work here. I can't do a couple theoretical jokes. I just went on for 40 minutes. I'm trying to have a good time. Trying to have a great old time with all of our thousands of listeners Daniel. They're giggling at home. Dorothy tried to rage bait me today so I wanted to rage bait you. What'd she do? She came in and she said what sport would you have played if you were athletic? Fortunately I had seen somebody say on TikTok months ago things to say to a man to piss him off. You know the issue with that is it like so didn't work on me. Cause I was about to be like I don't have soccer. Honestly great question. Why do you think I don't play sports? Also if she asked me like I am an ex professional skier like I've done it already. Yeah. So yes. That is what a failings means. Cool. Cool. Let's get to vigilantes. Yeah. Best episode of vigilantes ever. In ever. I almost thought that. But I really like knuckle duster dusted the shit out of his daughter. Dusted. Oh when he's like when he's got like the tasers on his like the last episode of season one is that the tasers and I was thinking about on the drive here. He does that bit where he's like all right we'll play a game and he throws a chain out and he's like you I can't cross that chain. Yeah. And I'll still beat you. She's like all right. And then he absolutely crosses the chain. She's like what the hell and he's like I lied obviously. What the fuck would you listen to me. I have tasers taped to my fists. Like why would I do that? Yeah. I lie and then there's like the lead up to all of that reason like just like overdosing his body on pain meds. Yeah. Crazy. That just was hit harder because obviously I saw was like a my hero character. Yes. But knowing this isn't written by Horakoshi. It's hard for me to like fully attached to I saw a based on my hero's lore. Yeah. Like I need to attach based on what vigilantes gives me of I saw. If that makes sense. I guess that's fair. I'm like it's cheating for this fan fiction writer to be like oh you're going to cry when I saw was sad because you watched him in the other show. And like also we kind of dealt with the entire storyline in in MHA proper. Yeah. And now we're rehashing it now. Yeah. It's like if you're going to try and get me to cry for I saw a you need to like re-invent why I care about him which this arc has done to be fair. But the reason I'm like I think I like the knuckle duster thing more is because I had a whole season to like really get into the idea of knuckle duster and he was an original he's an original to this Mongaka. But anyway yeah what like what the fuck where did this episode come from. Wildly artistic fucking crazy level of animation. Why is there so many kaiju in the vigilantes universe. Why is every other villain of fucking six story tall kaiju and we've just never seen one in the MHA universe ever. Don't invest in property in this fucking. Like first off first off this is a good gone to Maki a level threat like yeah like remember like a god to Maki a ripping through all the guys worse. He's all for one to meet the God the God to Maki. He is all frog one duty literally all frog one which sounds like a fucking alternative swamp based version of Air Force one fucking he's absorbing everyone's course and he's using more powerful versions blowing away entire buildings with fucking like light beam attacks which is like and shiguraki level attacks here and I saw one V ones this fucking thing. What I know why couldn't I zawa just single-handedly stop Gigantamakia. Like the argument every power scalar will make is like oh because God's Maki is stronger. I beg your finest part in how you I hate anytime Star Wars gets into this a lot. I hate anytime you just right away someone's like incredible power by being like oh the other person is just stronger generally like Star Wars does it because of the force the force of very confused cuz midichlorian counts. Yeah midichlorian counts and it's like well why doesn't Darth Vader just like snap Obi-Wan's neck or and Darth Vader can't snap Anakin's neck. Come on Nick what do you say well he could with the rope maybe but yes he could if he could snap anyone's yeah it's Anakin yeah literally but like you know why aren't Jedi using the force on each other more often yeah or ever and it's like oh well because they can like enforce themselves or whatever yeah and it's like I need to I need something more tangible than that and I hate the idea of like oh I zawa's quirk doesn't work on someone because they're just better and stronger than him it works with shiguraki and all for one because it's like you can only turn off like one yeah I will turn off all of them like he that's like it was the entire idea is they had like a Minoma copy his quirk because he kind of lost it after his battle against shiguraki the first time where he loses his leg and is like I but like with Gagantamaki or people that are just like inherently huge it doesn't really work like Gagantamaki is huge right oh cuz he's a heteromorph it wouldn't unburn it would un make him massive it would just like get rid of his like like he has a quirk that makes him look really tough and stuff like that's like the physical quirks aren't really affected by Izaawa shit it doesn't like unburned to Tokoyama yeah Tokoyama gets to be a regular boy for prom because like Izaawa stares at him for three hours he's got his fucking binoculars on him he's got that guy who's like entire job was to keep his eyes moist with like literally just sticking with Izaawa yeah that would be awesome I love a Cinderella like in reverse but it's Tokoyami returning into a crow I'd love every time he looks at the dude with the tail he's like he raises his hand he's like yes he was like oh he went on my ass again it's coming out it hurts worse when it comes out he's like it never call on me they just see six arms getting all of his arms clacked back into his rib cage um but uh yeah I when when the frog does the first blast like when it's a little like orbe starts freaking out on its head and kills Prince it kills Prince Prince first off the disrespect to Prince's memory like the the artist formerly known as Prince one of the greatest live performers of all time just burst onto the scene like a JJBA character who with a rose in his mouth and just gets fucking like fucking an MW2 trick shot doesn't do a thing just 360 no scoped it was gorgeous though I was like oh this is the best looking thing of the year he was like he was he was like oh he's like I'll hold the line see you later it's like covered in rose petals and everything I was like this is JJBA is hell yes it's so far he's got a heart literally like like caught out of his chest plate yeah it was stunning the animation was unreal it's also funny how you were like they bones developed this animation studio specifically for movies yes they have not used it once for movies they did the last my hero movies uh yeah bones film just don't call it bones film if you're gonna cheat and also do shows that's everyone's doing that though studio parents doing the exact same thing they're the one doing bleach I know I think it's silly with them too call it fucking just like hey we're gonna get better at animation just like hey we have a team dedicated to the better parts of our animation they're over there now they're still bones yeah studio polished bones yeah yeah yeah studio fucking oh what's the what's the ivory that works I was gonna say who's the who's the one who carries his mom's skull it's a cubo cubo studio cubo that's what I was looking for here um but yeah this is one of the most ridiculous feats we've ever seen in mha um but the whole idea of like I forget what his actual name is but like he turns into coral geary like that speaker rolling out and then it being revealed that he's been dead the entire time and he wasn't encouraging him like I I've cried to mha a lot like mha I think I probably cried once a season I've never cried to vigilantes I cried to this episode like horror it was it was fucking gorgeous dude yeah that that bit was crazy um fucking I like I like I like I saw a like being like oh yeah like uh we need a cat tower for or like whatever and they're like oh you want a cat now and he's like well I don't have time to take care of it but like among the three of us we can be kitty daddy yeah we want yeah one kitty daddy you see like the buddy daddy poster fade away in the background here I like I literally wanted somebody to come up to him after we defeated the giant frog and be like hey so you're you're the number two hero now like nobody else on earth but all the all might could do that yeah here's a trillion dollars like literally they literally come up to him like hey nobody would have been able to do that heroes included and then he's like cool I'm gonna go patrol the street as a homeless man for the next 10 years before UA offers me a job he deserves to retire yeah there's an entire city gone before a guy who who's a really good at Shabari decided this frog need to be tied up yeah did he kill that guy um he's literally you see I wanted really badly for the talk the throat Jesus Christ the frog to just explode he like did right he kills that frog he literally kicks a ball of explosive quarks down it like down its neck and then it explodes but yeah but then it's like it's a classic like vigilantes where it's like laid down you see it's like purple tongue right and now it's dead and then next episode is gonna show up in the fucking cricket the cricket guys workshop and they're like oh he works here now yeah it's like well I'm sorry you that I almost killed the whole town we're building a cat cafe boys go you have some flies yeah the fucking octopus guy taco pee that guy gets to breathe fresh air after what he did that guy who literally just like he was like sorry I threw rocks at you through you are a hundred feet tall blitzing through buildings also his parents fucked him parents his parents named him talk to me of course he was going to be an octopus person um I do like that that cafe is like a weird rehab for like for like Sizer and his fucking all of his like insect related friends yeah that's a good I that they're my favorites I really like them I do when we came back I like I got the real like I got like JJ K is him because like we spent the last three episodes with Izawa and then we came back and I saw like whatever his fucking Koichi and I was like the crueler oh dude I don't I don't give a shit about whatever fucking mall convention you need to go to right now dude I don't care that that pop step is getting paid $35 to be in Kyoto tomorrow I know the next episode is going to be titled like crabtastic adventures yeah yeah another the crab dude like the mechs are bigger now and it's like get Izawa I don't fucking know he literally is like destroying kaiju's all my fighting gigantic pieces of tofu and fucking Okinawa nothing makes sense in vigilantes I know it's so tough when like they'll do an arc that has nothing to do with the protagonist and then you get back to the protagonist and you're like why wasn't that the show literally that was like that's like how I felt about like like how you felt about when we were in like hidden inventory you're like just make it more about gojo and then immediately they're like by the way gojo's gone you're like god damn it it's that and then it's like oh I care about ghetto now that's awesome and they're like oh a ghetto is actually just a puppet by this smiling brain it's like all right well toji's cool up toji's gone toji's dead yeah he's a zombie also so even when he comes back who gives a shit literally he's gonna stab himself in the head because he almost kills his son yeah it's yeah yeah you thought I spoiled I know I was remembering if that was a spoiler but um yeah everything that having to do with hidden inventory is like infuriating and like the wrong way to do it yes yeah just like oh this is the best content you've ever created and it's gone why'd you take it all the way yeah it's fucking six episodes that's all I get thank you very much not it's like three or four episodes it's just crazy to be like to get you invested in uh ghetto and then to be like by the way that that's just simply not the guy we're talking about yeah remember the guy we killed that movie right before this yeah okay here's three episodes of why he was actually really cool before he started calling people monkey yeah now he's a different man entirely yeah now by the way say goodbye to that personality five ever yeah I also said that uh izawa is the kakashi of mha what's going on over there nothing you're waping it around uh kakashi is the or izawa's kakashi of mha loses miss midnight core geary his eye and his leg he's just he just loses everything does kakashi well kakashi has one eye but he's got his eye he's got two eyes he gets he Naruto literally pulls a ninja jesus and fixes one of his eyes for him but he loses his sharring on at the end of the story is there a reason why kakashi has to keep a blindfold over that eye because he can't deactivate it so that it would be a constant chakra drain like it would it would always have a sharring on activated he's literally fucking I don't know sharring on requires chakra having it activated does he's fucking cyclops from X-men 100% literally 100% like it's just like a chakra drain to have it open all the time he's not the only person like donzo also does it that's also silly though that it doesn't train chakra if you're not looking at anything if your eye is closed it's fine you're still doing sharring on 100% it's it's one of the most there's also a crow that like um a character named shiswi puts his uh sharring on into and then the crow follows tachi around with the sharring on activated for 10 years like and the crow doesn't have it to Icon with the crow's chakra that's and then the crow fucking uses the sharring on ability so it's like oh the crow had the ability to use the sharring on ability has had it activated for 10 years that crow has the most chakra out of anybody in the Naruto yeah is there like a meme that that crow is like actually yeah the best ninja many many everyone's like every chakralist ends with itachi's crow that's like the most crow most crow chakra of all time goes damn uh but yeah vigilantes incredible episode 10 out of 10 really really good stuff yeah incredible cool you want to get to our games sure sure we're gonna do one game this week ladies and gentlemen because we have to get going here eventually so this week we are finally going to get to our chomp chuck or fuck pokemon fusions this is a game that was made a couple of weeks ago that we haven't gotten to around yet but we are going to be given three pokemon fusions and we're gonna say whether or not we would chomp them which is eat them chuck them which is the least fun way of explaining this okay how about you do it all right do your fucking all right today we're playing pokemon fusion chomp chuck or fuck we're gonna look at a bunch of different pokemon fusions decide if we would chomp them chuck them or fuck them chuck means nothing we do nothing it's past we we put them in the trash put them in the goddamn trash they're killed they're executed on site in front of a preschool which i mean honestly is probably not not worse than being eaten just alive just us we as we just saw for the preschoolers it's worse oh that's fair but like the chomp one is fed to them yeah literally we literally just prepare a vidoe or four of them slowly as we boil it this is a uh roaming like school district wide initiative we're putting on i mean we have to see a pokemon oh no i forgot what happens at the end of the list oh no no we feed you a bogie run we kill a bogie run we leave we leave we take the other one home to have consensual adult activities with now you're like uh oh we're getting some i love i love that executing a venus or in front of preschoolers is like you're like that's fine but like fucking a venus or in front of preschoolers the line's there as we peel back skull it's always some object that's really hard to kill something with yeah we're just like just a broken chair leg yeah literally we're just using like a fucking macho to try and change like fucking back that in cool so our first three are called christ are called hunky starters and i think that's because it's the three starters okay so it's uh venus or in machamp charizard in machamp and then blastoise and preningia i'm making tiktoks about this this is these are real all right first off you know a lot about these pokemon fusions oh thank god i thought you were better like first off you have to stop making tiktoks one time nick texted me and was like i hate going on tiktok and seeing danny talk about something we talked about on the pod oh each every single time we'll have a conversation on the podcast and i'll open like tiktok two days later and it's like here's this original thought that i had just now and it's got 18 million views that i'm like fuck i need to start doing that nakey you can do that you're adding jeff astro like maybe you're like anyway chomp chucker fuck i'm gonna get my i'm getting my penis usbc port you're adding too much fake lord to to my mentality i'm just like oh this will be a funny video and you're like in your head i'm like mm how can i undercut otaku's anatomy our conversations are trademarked they're not a lot of be conversed outside of the the platform of this you fucking made a long form video about the my hero characters doing a chunin exam what what it was chuninowy what no i did i did Naruto versus yeah bass 1a yes and that was a podcast original was it yes it talks about that on the podcast yes it was an hour and a half long video the video if it means yeah i was like this is a great idea you should do it that that video almost killed me i almost killed kody it took him three months to edit it was crazy i just got text and he'd be like i'm working on it again and i'm like i'm so sorry anyway venus or machamp charizard machamp plastoise graninja the the sleeper nightmare of the this it literally looks like a pimple being popped out of what i could only describe as like a manga horror story christ also wait you know a lot about these fusions how do these do somebody like individually draw every single one of these fusions yeah there's some fusions that are like the charizard now these are good these are really good there's some that are literally just like summer this is there's no reason for this to happen there's no reason there's no ninja what part of graninja is this graninja's tongue yeah that's graninja's tongue that's that's so bad um give him water stars i don't fucking know some fusions will literally just be like a machamp body with like a diglet head gotcha and that's like either a random generator or someone just like slapped it on uh the best fusions are the ones like these or it's like yeah graninja's tongue becomes a blastoise shell yeah and in a fucked up world you could see these being real pokemon oh 100 i think i'm gonna eat graninja graninjoice i think i'm also eating graninja just so like it no longer exists it's meteor it's 100 meteor uh and then also it's like kind of like uh like a crustacean you know it's like a crab meets an oyster meets um a sexual assaultist yeah meets a big old nipple yeah literally i think i oh it does look like a saggy nipple it looks like the worst iteration the riddy gone um i think i think i fuck venus or machamp you think you'd fuck v he looks confident that's the thing is like he's got this big old big mouthy and smile fuck he looks like nick from big mouth he looks like nick from big mouth he looks like sel's second form he does but also he's got this like sassy drag queen energy about him that leads me to believe he knows how to fuck whereas charizard i don't horrifying image in my head of that like anaconda head just snapping at me the whole time that that is incredibly fair than all four of those arms like the two of them are holding you up the other are just doing whatever they want like venus or looks like he can talk charizard looks like an animal blindly fused under the head of a like he looks mad about his own existence and that's going to get vented towards you venus or this version of venus or i could say legitimately could pick me up at a bar yeah this is not a bad looking venus or i thought it was at first and the more i look at it the more i'm into my only problem with this iteration of venus or is like you know how much champ has those three i guess we'll call him like cornrows they look like brain in this coloration like they look like like the yellow the yellow and red like fucking like brain like cells it looks like ram coming out of his just hate you being like yeah i guess we'll call them uh cornrows and i was like i don't sign off on i do it like it's like it's like three i just never thought about that yeah right his fins yeah it does look like ram it looks like they could be unslotted from his head literally and that i'm afraid like it would kill it like i feel like he'd like don't touch that i take one out it was just shut down immediately all right up next we have uh cruel and unusual good tend to cruel and lick a tongue oh god tend to cruel and side duck who looks like he wishes he was dead i would also like to argue that regular side duck also looks like he wishes he was dead but that's fair um yeah regular side duck is always like a sigh i kill me this is a this is a samus villain yeah i don't have tend to cruel and zubat who one of those things in samus that like like literally like latch onto your head and fucking like yeah try to eat your brain yeah this looks like a brain eating nightmare um what are my options i can't marry any of them they're all i i'm getting rid of tend to cruel and zubat because that thing's terrifying yeah i think i'm eating side duck uh because like dude squid squid and duck in the same meat that's like it's your ducking but like half that's like that's a squid ducking a squid ducking that's like an air sea combo that's unreal and then i'm absolutely anytime you you sprinkle a little lick of tongue in there take me to pound town baby i think i also have to fuck uh tend to cruel and lick a tongue because it's all tongue because all of the tentacles are tongue all of its tentacles are tongues um i think i gotta let go of side duck just out of mercy that's fair look at this poor thing like but the thing is like would it want to be let go or would it want to be killed you know because we were talking about how you're right it's like look you would be doing a service putting it down you know yeah i'll eat it just to put it out of its misery exactly and then yeah no and then i release tentacle and zubat i can't do that i have to eat tentacle and zubat i need this thing dead i mean but that thing you know thing tastes like bug brain and fucking slime no i know it tastes like a jellyfish like a real word world jelly people eat jellyfish actually is that bad there's no way what it tastes like boba uh like little alo jellies okay that's not boba but kind of actually yeah it's like they use like like jellyfish noodles are like really popular in chinese culture dorthy like actually adores them whoa yeah not my favorite thing of all time but jellyfish is like very widely consumed um yeah so i i all right i'll do the same as yours fuck uh tenta tongue yeah all tongue baby uh eat tenta duck and then release tenta bat i feel bad for whoever that's gonna end that because it's like it's like the eyeballs look like i don't know the school children the preschools that's who it's gonna that's gonna be bad it's gonna be bad because it has testicles fries yeah that is a bad look oh god milk oh no these are always bad anything with miltank is a bad day we got miltank and eckens which is about as nightmarish as you think it is but not as nightmarish as miltank dug trio where every nipple is sentient what is that like dug what's the thing for five dug sinko yeah dug sinko like it's all four nipples are dugs it looks so angry it looks and then also yeah it's got four faces in its tits and all of its tits are like meow and then we got miltank and polyrath that's i don't where it's just squeezing milk from one utter to the next and it also looks like it's in pain about it literally all because two of its nipples if they're not being held are just dragging on the ground yeah the only purpose for polyraths two hands are to fucking hold it's too to milk it to literally hold it's too fucking it's like the back of the um a greninja fucking what is it the first one we did the last noise yeah greninja blast noise what is with all the long nipples in this um i'm gonna this is an easy one for me actually i'm gonna go ahead and fuck miltank and eckons it's a penis with a mouth and nipples hundred percent i'm also fucking miltank and eckons it's basically just like a long it's just a long um flashlight don't mime at me especially with what the end of this thing is doing dude it's a long flesh light um and the milk comes out the end literally so that's for the best miltank dug trio i think i let miltank dug trio go because it looks like a hardworking mother of four it is unfortunately kind of just the fuck what is uh it's like a possum all of its babies are just held on to it uh and then i'll eat miltank polyrath because it they both look not that bad deliciousness i mean because like at the end of the day there it's at least it's another one of those like half like half sea half land meat it's like half milk which is like half cow and then half polyrath which is like basically an oyster well it's not half milk it's half a cow i mean it looks like it looks like it's half milk miltank's not milk is coming out of this thing it might as well be half it's gonna be like an is it cake situation cut into a just gonna pop full of milk dude dug trio looks the tastiest i'll be honest but again it does look tasty my my sympathies but like if you kill the main dug trio right let's say you just sink a knife into its head are the other four dug trios all still alive you know the other four delicacies so okay so it's kind of like it's like you like pop out the oysters yeah you pop out the oysters you can just like ring them ring them real quick before they grow too fast um all right i'm gonna yeah i'll eat polyrath what about you i'm eating polyrath as well 100 we have chomp chuckle or fuckle which apparently is all just oh dude oh god have you seen the last one have you seen this is horrifying this is so bad like so somebody had so you're telling me all of this people had to draw all of these chorosense iterations yeah these are hand done these are these are nightmarish there is a talented 3d artist out there who was like what would chuckle and onyx look like and apparently the answer is cosmic horror the shading is great on that it is it literally looks straight out of a horror manga okay so i have my answer so quickly also but we got whale lord and chuckle and it's a whale with like a nightmarish amount of chuckle-esque tendrils coming out of its mouth it looks like a whale choking on cup ramen that's the best way i can describe it it's like a whale infected by one of those parasites that like eats a fish's tongue and becomes it yes 100 then we have chuckle and arbok which is a haunted vase with worms living in it's mostly yeah you know what this is it's that fucking it's one of the the moons it's the from the swordsman village arc huntengu yeah it is it's no not huntengu it's it's the other one geoko yeah it's geoko it's literally it's geoko if he was more snake like and then we have chuckle onyx which actually looks like a dark souls enemy from the catacombs like it's like if chorosense was yeah like a fucking dark souls three boss you would get this um do you want to go first i'm eating whale lord that's a good call it's a fish that provides its own noodles that's great that's good yeah that's as good as it gets uh i'm killing chuckle and onyx that is a a blaspheme against the concept of god and i'm letting chuckle and arbok go mostly because i think it's hold on what you don't get to just let one go yeah you have to fuck one killing is letting it go you're on the right path though i think chuckle and arbok if i get drunk enough and squint it vaguely looks like a belly dancer yes because it's got these weird eyes that make it look like it's wearing like a bikini i don't know where my penis is going i'm assuming i'm assuming the face and you're just hoping yeah i'm assuming the bottom mouth between all the tendrils uh but also i'm not entirely sure what it's holding like a yeah i don't know right

lifetime otherwise i'm not i'm not being allowed to leave that apartment you know these look tasty weasling and hypno looks like the fucking giblius twitch weasling and hypno could be good though

gonna have a good time um but i'm just gonna hope that the gas that comes out of it is a hallucinogen based now let me ask we're at an hour 30 yeah we have got things moving should we make the second half of games the patreon thing oh that's a great idea do the next five that's a great idea we'll do the next five on the patreon you're genius as long as the podcast episode stays like two hours yeah it's not like we're losing you know what i mean you're 100 yep that's you're as smart as it gets here so if you want to hear the next five of these that me and dany do oh my god oh my god these are sick oh these are in oh wait stop it no i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry i was just trying i was trying to i only got to lie i only got to the next two i apologize but listen i've already i blanked him out but if you want to hear me and dany talk about how incredibly sick those are you can remember the patreon today for 4.99 a month and get some additional content going but before we do that should we do our best boy yeah and then we'll get into the last five for everybody here people are saying what about zootopia and we'll do that next time next week because we do have to get to the patreon thing and then we have a dinner so yes i don't know how long the zootopia will take zootopia is uh i i read the first couple of pages it's a you told me we were on the phone you told me to stop doing it you knew this i was like you said i'm going to i fucking i i did the first two pages gone that's it gone gone god so we're gonna do our best boys and our uh our newsletters my best boy is hypnosis mic my best boy is shrimp peanut uh anyway fuck dude i need them to come back with more smiling friends um my best boy is hypnosis mic which i affectionately listen affectionately called slop listen everybody the emnosis mic fandom i'm sure is massive considering it just got a movie in theaters fair i guess uh and it's about like j-wrap uh was it an existing ip before this the titular hypnosis mic movie yes it was an anime oh yeah uh and listen everyone everyone universally is going to love this segment if you're able to just for a minute kill the fuck out if just for a a schmeck end of your time you can laugh about a thing you love okay because i do understand why this is beloved and also i really wanted to love it i love all like everything about the concept genuinely for those give the people who don't know what you're talking about a little idea on what hypnosis mic hypnosis mic is uh an anime and i only loosely know what it's about because i watched the movie without watching the show but it's about a bunch of rap trios it's all oh it's all rap trios it's all rap trios there's like six of them there's like six so there's 18 rapists 18 rapists that's crazy um and in an hour in what half movie in an hour and a half movie 18 rapists and they live in a society that is completely controlled by rap yes exactly it's like kengu nashura but instead of combat it's fucking it's these sick bars it's like yugio it's like beyblade it's it's very like beyblade but not enough like beyblade i was just saying can you wrap your way out of like get in a rap sheet here's what i'm what my issue is it's like beyblade in that like everyone has a mic and then they'll like do like a little sailor moon thing and the mic will transform into like one of them turns into like a big coffin with like a skeleton that like opens the coffin there's speakers in it one of them is like uh he's a military guy so it turns into like a bunch of like bazooka missiles that are also speakers the mic turns into a bunch of speakers that's pretty sick but it's individual for all 18 individual so everybody needs their own fucking animation so it's like it's like a 30 second animation you watch 18 times you're like can we start cutting this cutscene i will get to that okay but like yeah like with beyblade the pitch to me was it'd be like they're rapping but they have these like metaphysical interpretations of what they're doing like fighting each other oh you wanted stance i wanted stance i wanted beyblade i wanted yugioh but instead it's here's the structure of the movie it opens with a big wrap yeah featuring 18 singers 18 single what is this one train it's it opens with like an here's our deal kind of rap and it goes through every single character my name's this that i'm here to say that rapping is the way gotcha okay yeah and everyone has a very like basic uh personality which i kind of expected it's very like it's hard to flesh out 18 character driven stories in an hour and a half it's very like danging rampa it's very like a fighting game gotcha where they're like you know the military guy shows up and he's like i you know i love the fucking military and you're like oh what do you mean so bad guys not a compelling character you asshole it's like there there'll be like there's a trio of brothers whose whole thing is that they're like bonds blood bonds never break and that's their whole thing and they're just like fucking okay cool the twins plus one thank you very much for your time um so the movie opens with a big 18 person song and it's fun it's sick it's j-rap which is fun uh and then they get into the tournament were you dubbed or sub i'm assuming it's sub because like this is not going to convert well to dub it's sub but boy is it fucking tough to keep up with a rap while you're reading that's it's i would not have a whole lot of opinions about the rap i read over a beat right yeah you're like fucking i guess i understand what you're saying here it's tough because you need the fastest reading comprehension to keep up with rap and then also it's not like real rap battles it's like there's hooks like there's choruses and everyone sings them so it'll be like one one team raps a little the other team raps a little and they're like and then 17 other fucking people come in for the hook no it's like whoever like six at most okay it's like three on three and then they'll rap a little team beal rap a little and then together in unison it's like three two one it's our city we're gonna make it fun one two three it's our city gonna make it loud it doesn't always rhyme it's translated all right that makes sense yeah it's fair but um but it's like a that kind of rap or it's a very just generic like we run the city it's ours we own the city the bars and then there's like one guy who's like push a t in the corner he's like i'm cutting cocaine as we speak there's i'd say 90 of the cast is like 19 through 21 one guy is 46 that's that's my god i'd be voting for him the all the way through he's he's sick he's in like a big fucking like like pimp jacket like fur coat then he runs the casino i think but um but anyway that makes me like him less i wanted like scrappy i wanted scrappy like he brings a boombox and like a cardboard sheet to dance on kind of that's what i wanted from him yeah um but so the structure is like they'll it's a tournament you ever wins the tournament gets to run the country i'm not joking it's run by like the country is holding the this is so this is just loosely our plot for like how to like our president elected oh yeah or like our president should have to fight literally or literally race but it's like no he has to rap for it yeah uh so they're fighting for like the hypnosis mic where they get to run the country oh daddy i just thought about like literally donald trump like actually rap battling joe biden oh fuck cuz like you know they'd be getting coached like joe biden would be getting coached by like kendra klimar and like a fucking drunk that's nicky minaj he would get nicky minaj in the kid rock and they're like in his corner and he's like trying to like memorize his lines and joe biden's just on some tangent about oh my god just a mess just a mess it would be so funny yeah oh dammit um but so the structure is they all show up and then it'll be like team a and team b and they fucking you gotta watch every member do their mic thing their mic turns into some metaphysical thing yeah you watch all of them do it and then each one of them also is like i'm kooji and this is my deal and so you watch about 10 minutes of that you get like hinge profiles of all 10 people here they're like interested in hiking and also rapping it's like yeah i could have figured you get you get 10 minutes of that then they do a rap yeah where it's so it's just a song six people are singing and they can't really like dig into each other it's very like i'm like this it's not like it's not like eight mile where it's like here's all the shit i hate about you it's like take another steroid stoop dog yeah it's like i should win because i got my bros and bonds thicker than blood will never break do you think they did that because because they got a mix and match because they have to mix and match who has to be generic um and also it's like what i assume is a non-canon movie because there's seven endings okay that's fair um so they can't it's like the fucking like the fate universe just keep all the alternative endings in mind and so so then they do a rap and then you get to vote you the audience yes get to pull out your phone and you vote on who wins and i love this concept oh it's a great idea but as i'm watching it i leaned over to daniel who i was there with nice and i was like how much better would this be if the loser gets his tongue cut out or something you know like they take the mic and jam it down his throat look at the hammer they just like beat them with the mics for like three minutes it'd be so good like the first time that it happens right because everyone what the fuck or or it's like three guys in a row and they're like hey man we'll go get them next year and then the 46 year old guy loses and they they draw in court around they're like what the fuck why him dude i love the voting gimmick i just wish the stakes were higher oh yeah because no one needs to die i was like this would be perfect if it had blue locks energy where when someone loses they're destroyed like they're like this was my dream i really needed this but when i called you to tell you about this i referred to it as optimism slop yes yes because anytime someone loses they're like oh man i thought we'd win that and then their leader is like yeah but we still had fun who cares if we don't run the government yeah let's go get some snacks yeah who cares who cares if i'm not the strongest man in a rap based community um so yeah it's like if this literally if this were blue lock it can't be blue lock because then be like a bunch of filler soccer and then you're like who do you think won yeah yeah yeah it's like it's like yeah you see them dribbling into shit like you see like them kind of score some goals and it's like who has more yeah it's like a counting game you're like fucking yeah you tell me ref but that'd be fun yeah you're the ref i could be the ref though is this a foul yes or no that'd be pretty good that's pretty good that's like that'd be like good phoenix right thing yes like you have to object yeah ace attorney yeah phoenix right ace attorney colon yeah i know his role but um fucking yeah it's just it i i recommend it obviously to fans of hypnosis mic yes but if you're into just like up be optimistic like if you want optimism slop yeah if you want optimism slop which is not like i say that comedically not derogatory yes like i get why there's a market for this yeah my perfect world is this exact concept but during the voting phase you're looking at them with the like fish eye lens and they're sweating bullets and they're like i have six kids yeah please i was just loading a revolver behind them one bullet at a time yeah as it's counting down from ten he's just like clicking like both the empty chambers yeah and you see like well the first one dies and the other two are like oh fuck yeah that'd be great you just want squid games you want squid games but you can vote which is literally what the billionaires in squid games got to do i want i want to be the billionaires in squid games i just think this format and also just the premise of his hypnosis mic would be so cool if they had stands that were fighting during the rap because also by the end of the rap when it's just a song that's like people are just kind of like taking turns during it's not like one guy gets a verse and the other does it's like you'll wrap a line and then two lines later maybe i'll wrap one got you so you're like hopping in kind of thing yeah that would be sick because it's like every time he's like he like finds out something about your childhood and he's like you're used to wear skirts in high school or something like that it's like right hook and it's like oh shit like he found out like he found out what his parents are like he's like the m&m things like your name's clearance uppercut yeah and then at the end he like becomes confident about wearing skirts in high school and stands wearing a skirt literally beats the shit it's like a just perfect character development that'd be awesome it'd be so sick but it's so hard to pick a winner other than just like i like his character design yeah especially because it's like oh you're trying to like literally read you're trying to read a fucking like script and be like i guess that was a good bar i don't speak japanese i don't even know if they're rhyming i'm too busy trying to fuck i'm too busy trying to compute what they're rapping about here even if it was wrapped in english i think i'd have a hard time if it wasn't like hey this is my two minutes to rap this is your two minutes my only perception of rap battles is eight mile and then that british guy who was really good from like youtube ten years ago arsenal was that it oh there's like four guys who are like holy i cannot believe that just came to me it was arsenal that was it man oh my god yeah that's that's all of it in there uh my news slash best boy is um that canada has been subjugated canada has been subjugated so if you're canadian sorry guys uh we own you now your ours we have your we have you forever um women's hockey and men's hockey both won the gold in the olympics bow bow bow bow bow and they both beat canada who got silver so that's tough they're not supposed to lose that they're not supposed to lose that's their that's their one they just did a whole show about it they which is why my best boys also the gays um because while they were canadian uh now he'd arrive a week that's ours that's ours we got it sorry you can also say it's russian what do you mean one of them don't talk about heated rivalry you don't know what you're talking about i'm starting it soon i'm out of it's been months i'm out of sync i know i'm starting it now that it's not cool now that now that it's way out of chic that's what i'm getting in wrong i went to the movies the other day uh to see nirvana the show nirvana the band the show the movie i've heard it's very good it's very good you'd like it a lot it's really funny um but uh i was on my way and i rounded a corner and there was a line like three blocks long for this sold out heated rivalry like bar event i know sold out because on the big marquee it said sold out over their faces oh wait so so it's a bar event as in like are they just watching heated rivalry at a bar i have no idea i that's it was a huge line it's like a whole bar in heat just like just like sliding off their seats here as they watch two dudes penetrate each other wild that's like if you can't get laid at the heated rivalry event you might have that's that is genuinely your fault that's on you you got to switch deodorant brands or something you gotta get a new cologni in there uh but yeah that's uh my best boy and my news yes oh we have actual human news i have human news okay um good news everybody maybe unless i'm a good news everybody they're like they hit the third tower new neon genesis even gellion series is coming out new animated neon genesis even gallion are they gonna do the chair they're gonna do the chair scene guess who's directing it uh because at first i wasn't excited i was like uh they're the original director nope okay better maybe maybe better than he deyaki ono oh sorry it's written by this other person um written by yoko taro who is the creator of the near automata franchise i'm sorry what yeah well all the nears wait yuko yoko taro makes all of the years i've never played any of the nears mind you i've only played automata and it's awesome really yeah it's great is that the one where she can turn into like a fucking fighter plane yeah that's unreal it's great and like honestly consider the fact that evangeline is all about girls basically turning into gigantic mechs yeah might be the right person this is the only reason i'm excited for this because like anytime they announce a revival remember there's a fucking code geos revival came out like last year and no one talked about i didn't even know that happened we did briefly know about it i we probably talked about it then i just immediately clocked it but neon genesis is neon genesis is so popular yeah but they're always coming out with a like final movie 3.7 part 8 of course yes i they are on like their seventh movie 100 the final program of evangeline 30 plus 30th anniversary of evangeline event held in yokohama today announced that a brand new anime series in the evangeline franchise in production at studio cara and cloverworks oh cool kaziya suramaki director of rebuild films and mobile suit Gundam i i'm not making this up it's gq u u u u capital x what the fuck are we doing helms the project alongside uh toko no toko yatabe who was an assistant director at evangeline 3.0 plus 1.0 thrice upon a time that's sick near creator yokotaro is penning the script in series composition and near composer kyuji okabe is providing the music you know what okay you immediately i proved your point 100 percent i proved your point where we're there's too much evangeline that's what i'm saying there's too much evangeline shit i i don't even i haven't seen it i've seen the first three movies i don't think i've seen anything else is he in the series yes okay i saw the series in the first three movies which are like apparently the canon what the fuck is 3.0 plus 1 thrice upon a time yokotaro is exciting because he's like a hideo kajima type where all of his games like redefine what gaming can be yeah and so he's clever enough that this could be incredibly sick 100 um so yeah cool all right um do we want to just replace letters with arthi because that's a page that's a page i think so that's all we got this week ladies and gentlemen we are going to do the other five chomp chuck or fucks uh which uh from what i'm seeing are deeply deeply unhinged so if you guys want to hear those you can find them
