No technical issues.

6
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:38,680
No like,

7
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,720
We didn't have time for questions this time though.

8
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:41,720
I know.

9
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:42,720
Thank God.

10
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:43,720
I do love how we just won that.

11
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:44,720
I do not want to write down an opening.

12
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:45,720
What?

13
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:46,720
Every time.

14
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:47,720
Okay.

15
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:48,720
I don't know.

16
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:49,720
Okay.

17
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:50,720
Well, yeah.

18
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:51,720
Well, yeah.

19
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:52,720
That's a good one.

20
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:58,720
Here it is.

21
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,720
This is the brand.

22
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:01,720
We're in it.

23
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,720
Welcome to another episode of Chia Furu.

24
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:05,720
Yeah.

25
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,720
This time they go to a tournament.

26
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:08,720
Yeah.

27
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,720
Suddenly very quickly.

28
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,720
We're just time skip at tournament.

29
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:14,720
Yeah.

30
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,720
We got to have the pressure cooker for character to be element.

31
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,720
I guess so.

32
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:21,720
Yeah.

33
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:28,720
So, but first, what have you been up to Joe since last week?

34
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,720
Since last week, I have been watching some anime.

35
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,720
I've been watching Blue Eyed Samurai.

36
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,720
That's just the Netflix show.

37
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,720
Is this a show or a movie?

38
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:40,720
It's a show.

39
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:41,720
That's right.

40
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,720
It's like, I don't know, like eight episodes or something.

41
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,720
It is a 3D art style.

42
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:46,720
It is a 3D art style.

43
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,720
I was not very hot on it at the beginning.

44
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,720
It has picked up around episode like four or five,

45
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,720
which, you know, is good.

46
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,720
It's also like four hours in just kind of a long time to pick up

47
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,720
your, your episode.

48
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:01,720
Yeah.

49
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,720
Part of the problem I have with this.

50
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,720
So like, okay, you know, action movies, right?

51
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,720
Or like martial arts movies and you could tell when they're good

52
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:14,720
because they have the loud sound effects that sound natural.

53
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,720
The whitchu.

54
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:17,720
All those.

55
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:18,720
Like a pal.

56
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:19,720
No.

57
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:20,720
No.

58
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:21,720
Okay.

59
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:22,720
Wait, what is this?

60
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,720
What kind of movies are you watching?

61
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,720
The sound effects of Batman, pal, bam.

62
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:28,720
Kind of thing.

63
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:29,720
I don't know.

64
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,720
Just like when they have like a sound to go with the punch.

65
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,720
It's like very stock sound.

66
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:41,720
Like unbelievable kind of slapstick comedy.

67
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:42,720
No, okay.

68
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,720
I don't watch a lot of martial arts movies.

69
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:45,720
Okay.

70
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,720
What I was saying is that like, you could tell when they're good

71
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,720
because they'll do like law like wide shots, right?

72
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,720
Where you could just kind of see everything happening.

73
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,720
Just like all in a row.

74
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,720
And like the more Hollywood way of doing it because a lot of the,

75
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,720
you know, actors can't do martial arts very well is to have

76
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,720
lots of cuts like the Jason Bourne style.

77
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:04,720
Like the camera shaking.

78
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,720
We're cutting every like half second to something else.

79
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,720
Like indicate action without actually showing you do it.

80
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,720
They do that style in this show, which baffles me.

81
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,720
The camera is constantly moving in all of the bad,

82
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,720
like the action sequences and it like makes me dizzy and is hard

83
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:21,720
to watch.

84
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,720
Cause they don't have a limitation.

85
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:24,720
Yeah.

86
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:25,720
Because it's anime.

87
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,720
So like, you don't have to worry about the actor not being able

88
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,720
to do it because they're not real.

89
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:30,720
You just make them do it, right?

90
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,720
But the fact that they can't do that is like astounding.

91
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:38,720
I am like baffled by how not engaged I am in any of the action

92
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,720
scenes in this show.

93
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,720
That's about samurai action scenes.

94
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:44,720
The other stuff's pretty good though.

95
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,720
That's the best action you've seen in the anime.

96
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,720
Action like what do you like martial arts?

97
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,720
Like choreography or something.

98
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:56,720
Like, hmm, I mean, there's like, you know, I'll watch a lot of

99
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,720
like shown us stuff with like fights in it, but they're like,

100
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,720
you know, people are using.

101
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,720
Magic attacks.

102
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:03,720
You know what I mean?

103
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,720
Like they're not combat base, right?

104
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:06,720
It's not like we're punching each other.

105
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:11,720
Well, like I feel like Naruto has this thing where when they do

106
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,720
like the, yeah, where they have like the more zoomed out

107
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,720
perspective when fighting in the art style, it becomes a bit

108
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,720
more simplified to like make it easier, I guess, to animate

109
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:29,720
all the physical combat looks really cool.

110
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,720
I think they do a good job with it.

111
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:36,720
Like like the fight under the waterfall between Sasuke and

112
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:37,720
Naruto.

113
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,720
I feel like they did a good job with that.

114
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:45,720
And I don't, um, yeah, the thing with Shona is that there's

115
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,720
action, but like it's always like interrupted by.

116
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,720
End of the episode and then half the next episode is recapping

117
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,720
that episode and like, I don't think that happens anymore.

118
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,720
I don't watch new Shonen really that much.

119
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:02,720
Yeah.

120
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,720
You're watching like original run dragon ball Z.

121
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,720
They clean that up and Kai like they, they have gotten away

122
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:09,720
from doing that.

123
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,720
Or you're watching one piece, which is week to week.

124
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,720
So it has to like recap because coming up with an entire

125
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,720
episode of animation every week is incredibly difficult.

126
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,720
Well, they should just.

127
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:23,720
Now let's do that.

128
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:24,720
Yeah.

129
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:25,720
Yeah.

130
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,720
They should just not do that.

131
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,720
I like, I know people that are like, I'm going to start

132
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,720
watching one piece and I'm like, dude, you just got to, you

133
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,720
got to find the cut list, you know, where people cut down

134
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,720
the episodes you got to do that.

135
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,720
You cannot be, you cannot be sitting there watching the

136
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,720
dress, Rosa arc, the longest, most boring arc of all time.

137
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,720
Is it cannon arc?

138
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:47,720
Yeah.

139
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,720
No, they're all cannon arcs for the most part.

140
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,720
Like all the newer stuff are, they don't really do filler

141
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:52,720
that much.

142
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:53,720
I don't see.

143
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,720
But they like really slow roll everything and what you're

144
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,720
talking about where like the first half is a recap and like

145
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,720
some scenes are drawn out.

146
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,720
It's, it's exhausting.

147
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,720
We're getting back to fights.

148
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,720
Yeah.

149
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,720
I'm trying to think of like good, good.

150
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:11,720
I've like seen good fights before.

151
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:12,720
I don't know.

152
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,720
I'd have to think about it because I don't want to say

153
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,720
something and then be like, oh yeah, wait, that actually is

154
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,720
super mid compared to this other thing I just remembered.

155
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:19,720
Yeah.

156
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,720
I'm trying to think of what battle is excited me.

157
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:26,720
I mean, I feel like bleach season two had a lot of cool moments.

158
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:27,720
What season two?

159
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,720
Which ones that when they first get to the.

160
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:32,720
Both sides.

161
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:33,720
Yeah.

162
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:34,720
Full side.

163
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:35,720
I can remember the name.

164
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:36,720
The best shown in arc ever.

165
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:37,720
Yeah.

166
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:38,720
Yeah.

167
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,720
So because it's lots of different fights that you can watch

168
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,720
and not just one game dragged out and like learning about your

169
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,720
opponent while fighting.

170
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,720
Cause like these are actually likable characters, not just throw

171
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,720
away villain ones and.

172
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:54,720
Yeah.

173
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,720
Remember when fights like accomplish something besides just

174
00:06:58,720 --> 00:06:59,720
being just looking cool.

175
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,720
I feel like I'm just going to be a downer about new stuff again

176
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,720
where I'm just like, I don't feel like any of the modern stuff

177
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,720
like really does anything interesting with the fights anymore.

178
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,720
I feel like it's just like, look at this spectacle.

179
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,720
Yeah.

180
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,720
I feel like the most recent thing I've watched.

181
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,720
That has fights is demon slayer or.

182
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,720
My hero academia.

183
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,720
And I.

184
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,720
Is just like, okay, I watched like the first season.

185
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,720
I don't, I need to probably rewatch that.

186
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,720
I do not remember that that well, but.

187
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:35,720
Okay.

188
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:36,720
Yeah.

189
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:37,720
But demon slayer.

190
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:38,720
Yeah.

191
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:39,720
Demon slayer.

192
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,720
It's like very, yeah, it's very much just a spectacle for the eye,

193
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:48,720
but then I had to think no one else is seeing this swooshy stuff.

194
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,720
Like it's just swords in reality.

195
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:51,720
Right.

196
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,720
Like they're not seeing cool flames coming off swords.

197
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,720
It like that isn't diegetic.

198
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,720
Like that's not actually happening.

199
00:07:58,720 --> 00:07:59,720
You mean.

200
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:00,720
Yeah.

201
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:01,720
It's weird.

202
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,720
I don't know.

203
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,720
The problem with demon slayer is that like the people they fight

204
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:07,720
are just so nothing.

205
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,720
They're just like one off villain of the week guys.

206
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,720
So it's just like, I don't care about the spider kid.

207
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:13,720
I like he's dead.

208
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,720
I don't need his backstory.

209
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:16,720
Whatever.

210
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:17,720
I don't know.

211
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,720
I complain about this all the time.

212
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,720
Have I complained about this with you where I'm like,

213
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,720
for some reason we have transitioned into a phase where.

214
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,720
A fight will happen.

215
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,720
The bad guy will die and then we'll get their entire backstory as.

216
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:31,720
Yeah.

217
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,720
Which I think is like the worst time ever to give me a back.

218
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:39,720
When they're about to be out of the story, why would I ever care

219
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:40,720
about anything?

220
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,720
Super does that.

221
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:43,720
Yeah.

222
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,720
Literally what it does.

223
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:46,720
Like all the time.

224
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,720
Yeah, that's true.

225
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:49,720
It's infuriating.

226
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,720
I'm just like, I don't care about this dumb guy who had like a

227
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:54,720
gimmick attack.

228
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:55,720
Who cares?

229
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,720
I feel like you know, Yasha had a lot of throwaway villains too.

230
00:08:58,720 --> 00:08:59,720
Oh yeah.

231
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,720
Dude, I tried to watch that with some friends recently and it's

232
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,720
like you just get into infinite spinning its wheels.

233
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:05,720
Yeah.

234
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,720
I never watched it in its entirety.

235
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,720
I just have the manga.

236
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,720
I feel like it's really hard to watch it in its entirety.

237
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,720
So many characters come and go.

238
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:16,720
It's wild.

239
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:17,720
Yeah.

240
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:18,720
And none of it really matters.

241
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,720
It feels like, I mean, because the core of any Yasha is like the

242
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,720
will they won't they thing or like, is it Yasha going to get with

243
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,720
Kikome or Kikyo's like alive again?

244
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:28,720
Freakin wild string.

245
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:29,720
Oh my God.

246
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:30,720
Kikyo.

247
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,720
And that makes almost no progress for the longest time because

248
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,720
like we just keep doing these like random villain of the week

249
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,720
things that I just don't matter.

250
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,720
Yeah, that's true.

251
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:46,720
Or we keep like it's the whole Kohaku song goes brother keeps

252
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,720
showing up and then like, Oh, is he good or is he bad?

253
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,720
That's the no progress.

254
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,720
It's just like we do an episode.

255
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:54,720
He leaves the end of episode.

256
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,720
We do it again in two weeks.

257
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,720
Like it's just so much repetitive stuff.

258
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:00,720
Yeah.

259
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,720
Especially if they don't, if the show never reflects on those

260
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:05,720
things.

261
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:10,720
I feel like at least bleach like references things learned in

262
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,720
previous fights for Ichigo.

263
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:19,720
Like he's just bleaches his experiences extremely good until

264
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,720
the end of the soul society arc and then it like totally just

265
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,720
does nothing and then it ends in a way that I think is

266
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:26,720
ridiculous.

267
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:32,720
But although like like wake a Mundo and a wrong car and a

268
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,720
spot like all that just sounds so cool.

269
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,720
Like I like that they wouldn't have.

270
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,720
It's just cool.

271
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:40,720
Yeah.

272
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:41,720
Oh man.

273
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:42,720
Yeah.

274
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,720
I mean like it's cool, but it's all like there's just no, it's

275
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,720
just got no juice left in it.

276
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,720
Get rid of this comedy characters.

277
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:53,720
The stupid, the stupid wrong car that like our goofballs.

278
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:54,720
I don't like them.

279
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:55,720
I like them.

280
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:56,720
They're goofy.

281
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:57,720
I hate them.

282
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,720
But one's like tall and the other one has a huge face to save

283
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,720
or he may get serious.

284
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:05,720
This is the problem.

285
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,720
Like the problem is that they just do the same arc again, but

286
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,720
like less interesting.

287
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:10,720
Yeah.

288
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:11,720
Oh yeah.

289
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:12,720
It's yeah.

290
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,720
It's always the chick that's got to be rescued.

291
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,720
Don't love that.

292
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:17,720
Yeah.

293
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,720
But like it's more, it's like, I don't know the soul society one

294
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,720
is way more complicated because it's like they're rescuing

295
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,720
Rukia who does not really want to be rescued, but kind of does

296
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,720
because she's kind of bought into like the weird cult ish

297
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,720
like outlook of the soul society and like you get to the soul

298
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,720
society and everything she's told you about it is just like

299
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,720
not true up to this point because she's been like your only

300
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,720
source of information about what's going on there.

301
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:42,720
And it's like totally wrong.

302
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,720
Every place that he's chudder is like throats.

303
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:45,720
There's all this stuff going on.

304
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,720
And then they just do the same arc again and wake up moon.

305
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:50,720
None of that stuff is happening.

306
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,720
It's just like a very straightforward like, well, we just

307
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:53,720
got to save the princess.

308
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:54,720
So let's go do it.

309
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:55,720
And then they do end of arc.

310
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,720
It's like so uninspired compared to how much is going on in the

311
00:11:58,720 --> 00:11:59,720
first one.

312
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,720
It's like the contrast is crazy.

313
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,720
I guess that's the only good one really.

314
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,720
I mean, season the end of season one was cool.

315
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,720
Like if I ever rewatch all like watch the last few episodes

316
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:18,720
where it's, um, you know, Biaquia and Renji coming in and I

317
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,720
don't know, you know, when they like sell you on the like, oh,

318
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:22,720
this person's so strong.

319
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,720
There's spiritual pressures off the charts.

320
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:27,720
Yeah.

321
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,720
I was so buying into that.

322
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:30,720
Yeah.

323
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:31,720
I was like, yeah.

324
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:32,720
It's cool.

325
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:33,720
Uh-huh.

326
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:34,720
Um,

327
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,720
it doesn't like a boss battle.

328
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:37,720
Yeah.

329
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,720
And then the whole reveal with his dad, I was like, this can't be

330
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:41,720
real.

331
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,720
This can't be reality.

332
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:45,720
That's to be said.

333
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:46,720
Yeah, that was weird.

334
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,720
And then the whole thing, you know, it was like, I don't, I

335
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,720
didn't know what was going to happen.

336
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,720
But I think there's a huge difference.

337
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:55,720
That's what I think.

338
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,720
It's like, I mean, I don't know, I can be like, this is just

339
00:12:58,720 --> 00:12:59,720
a real hook.

340
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,720
There's a lot of stuff going on later on, but I still like hold

341
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,720
up like everything up to the soul society, like the end of the

342
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:05,720
soul society arc.

343
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:06,720
Incredible.

344
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:07,720
Like top tier stuff.

345
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:08,720
Up there.

346
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:09,720
Anyway.

347
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,720
So yeah, blue and samurai and not reaching those heights, but

348
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:13,720
it's fine.

349
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:14,720
Okay.

350
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:15,720
What about you, Sarah?

351
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:21,360
And then finally, you know, like stepped up and didn't leave Joe

352
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,200
hanging out to dry with our campaign.

353
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,920
So you play a little bit of that a couple of days ago.

354
00:13:29,680 --> 00:13:32,960
And I feel like you hate the combat.

355
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,920
And if it was just the like talky talky stuff, it would be better.

356
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,800
I don't hate the combat and Baldur's Gate three.

357
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,520
I think like this is just the way D&D works, which is like.

358
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,480
Yeah, early game combat and D&D just sucks.

359
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:50,280
Yeah, that's true, because you're just constantly missing all the time.

360
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,240
Your attacks never really land or do anything interesting.

361
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,920
There's like very little I feel like you can actually innovate in it.

362
00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:00,040
Like most campaigns are like one shot that you play, start you off at like level

363
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,840
like five or something, because it's just literally not interesting at all.

364
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,400
Because like what we're level three in Baldur's Gate, you just can't do shit.

365
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,080
It's like you only have a 60 percent chance to hit.

366
00:14:10,680 --> 00:14:13,080
You know, you're just having to down potions all the time.

367
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:18,400
It's like so monotonous that I'm just like, why would we even have to bother doing this?

368
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,520
Yes. So I feel like that's the thing that I mean, I played Divinity, right?

369
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:25,440
It's the same thing with that.

370
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,440
It'll get solved by the time we're level like six or five or something.

371
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,000
But like early game it sucks.

372
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,960
It was a game where they acknowledged that where it's like you're all just a group

373
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:39,600
of folks who are like very like have small training, but then like you're like,

374
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:44,320
oh, shit, we got to get it together and like Shadowheart.

375
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:45,600
What the hell girl?

376
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:50,000
Get your eyes checked and, you know, just a more

377
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:56,720
aware storyline about that part of it.

378
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:58,960
Like, man, that was so hard.

379
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,200
Like barely scraped through.

380
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:05,160
I don't know. But it's I mean, it's also easier.

381
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:11,800
Like because when I play by myself, I'll like have a podcast playing during combat

382
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,760
because like it is very slow paced because of the turn based on the sometimes the AI

383
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:25,760
takes forever for the opposing characters to decision make.

384
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,320
Right. Yeah. Yeah.

385
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,160
There's just a lot like, I don't know.

386
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:34,160
I feel like playing a game that is like supposed to be like D&D just kind of shows

387
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,760
you the difference of like or like the limits of what a video game is.

388
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,600
Because I've also had problems in the past with like.

389
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:42,320
So I, you know, I do.

390
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:47,520
I usually do a lot of talking in these games and your ability to lie is extremely restricted.

391
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,360
Because sometimes you'll just say things with like, I'll just say things with no

392
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:54,200
intention of doing them, but it'll like railroad me to doing it because I said it.

393
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:59,600
Which is like not how I play like not how I role play a character where it's like,

394
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,560
yeah, I'll just say stuff and then I'm not going to do it because I mean, come on.

395
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,120
I mean, come on, I'm not going to tell them that.

396
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,920
That's like having to declare your intentions all the time.

397
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:14,120
I find also kind of grading just because like of like the type of character I like to play,

398
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,200
but it's yeah.

399
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:23,120
Well, it's also like if because the D&D like combat restrictions,

400
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:30,040
like if more games could take the good parts of it and apply it and a smoother

401
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:34,960
like experience, that would be nice.

402
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:40,920
I think because like co-tour is based on D&D rules, but it's not as like apparent

403
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:42,120
that that's the case.

404
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:48,480
It's more like immersive in a lot of ways, I guess, as far as like it's not showing you

405
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,360
distraction, you know, parentheses or whatever.

406
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,080
You don't want to see like literal dice rolls.

407
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:59,400
You mean? Yeah, I feel yeah, I feel like a more.

408
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,920
Yeah, like game-ified version of it, maybe.

409
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:08,680
More leaning into the video game elements more than the board game once.

410
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:15,560
Yeah, but like it's just that we don't see this depth of like story and characters

411
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:19,040
and other games like this very often at all.

412
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:24,160
So it's like, I'll play it for this for that because these are because I don't.

413
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:28,320
I've never played D&D, but like even since I was a teenager,

414
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:32,960
I was playing these games based off D&D because it had the elements I do, like,

415
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:39,760
you know, and also I feel like a lot of people are like, oh, I don't play D&D.

416
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:40,720
I won't understand it.

417
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,240
So they don't even try the game is another thing.

418
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,120
Yeah, a few people get like really scared off by mechanics of it, like,

419
00:17:47,120 --> 00:17:48,480
oh, there's so many stats.

420
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:49,240
You got to keep track of it.

421
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,040
And like that is true.

422
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,680
I mean, I think there's like definitely like variants and stuff like I've played

423
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,520
other tabletop role-playing games that are like much more streamlined

424
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:01,160
in terms of like what you do, which I think is generally better.

425
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:02,720
I don't really like the complexity.

426
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,520
Like when I play role-playing games, I do not give a shit about how much weight

427
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,240
I'm holding or like how long it takes to get to a place.

428
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:13,640
Like these are things that are annoying in real life and annoying in a video game

429
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,400
or like in a game as well.

430
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:16,920
But some people are really into that, right?

431
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:20,800
Like they're built around like inventory management, making sure that you like

432
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,680
have supplies for certain things, that kind of stuff.

433
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,080
So it's just kind of like who it's just finding the version of the game

434
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:28,120
that you want to play.

435
00:18:28,120 --> 00:18:30,760
Yeah. Yeah, for sure.

436
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,520
I actually just I have some more games I've actually played that you mentioned.

437
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:38,880
Yeah, let's hear it.

438
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,920
I beat two games since last time we spoke.

439
00:18:42,120 --> 00:18:45,880
One of them is Slay the Princess, which is like a psychological

440
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:47,480
horrory visual. Oh, yeah.

441
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,040
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I've seen that.

442
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,120
It's like black and white and all that.

443
00:18:51,120 --> 00:18:54,040
Yes. Very cool art, very fascinating game.

444
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:55,640
Lots of interesting things going on there.

445
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,680
It's like you are given the task to slay the princess.

446
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:00,720
Are you going to do it or not?

447
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,960
And there's like a narrator that talks with you and you go through

448
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,000
like scenarios of like, well, you could try this or you could do this.

449
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,080
And then different things happen.

450
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,320
And what you do the first time will influence how it goes forward

451
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,080
and future iterations of it.

452
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,120
And you're trying to like figure out, you know, kind of what's going on.

453
00:19:16,120 --> 00:19:17,480
You're like exploring the space a little bit.

454
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,160
There's like this kind of broader storyline that happens.

455
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:21,200
It's very interesting.

456
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,840
It's like very fun.

457
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,560
I'm not like a completionist, so I'm not going to like see all the different

458
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,560
endings, but they're like all the ways things can go.

459
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,640
But there are a lot of ways things can go.

460
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,240
So you can spend like a ton of time in this if you want.

461
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,680
So that one was really fun, pretty, pretty easy.

462
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:37,840
I mean, it's not hard to play.

463
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,880
It's like a narrative game for the most part.

464
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,040
The other one I played, the other one I finished

465
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:49,080
after playing for a very, very long time is AI, the Somnium files.

466
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,000
Oh, yeah.

467
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,800
It's for fuck's sake, man, with that. Yeah.

468
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:59,560
This is the sequel to AI Somnium files

469
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,840
that they just kind of made with like the same engine and stuff like that.

470
00:20:03,120 --> 00:20:07,360
It is, you know, in the same vein of like, this is basically just a story game.

471
00:20:07,360 --> 00:20:10,040
Like it's just a visual novel, but it's like, you know, everything's pretty.

472
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,320
You like do some interactive stuff.

473
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:13,520
It's kind of an adventure.

474
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,280
You can make some choices for some different things.

475
00:20:16,360 --> 00:20:17,680
It's just charming and fun.

476
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,000
I just like the writing in it.

477
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,360
I just think the world is like goofy and ridiculous.

478
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:26,040
You play as a special agent.

479
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,600
Some dude called Abyss.

480
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:33,160
No, in this one, you play as Mizuki of the girl.

481
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:34,640
Because it's like a time skip.

482
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,360
But the first one you do.

483
00:20:36,360 --> 00:20:38,000
OK. And the first one you play is a guy.

484
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:39,560
Yeah, you play as Dottay and the first guy.

485
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,360
And the first one in this one, you play as Mizuki.

486
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:46,600
You have an AI assistant that's like an eyeball that like sits in your eye

487
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,960
and like you talk to him.

488
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:53,280
You do a thing called Somniums where you go enter somebody's

489
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,240
dreamscape to try to figure out information that they're either

490
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,760
concealing or don't remember to help you solve the case.

491
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:00,600
It's goofy. It's ridiculous.

492
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,400
There's like a lot of stuff going on in it.

493
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,280
It was a good time.

494
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:05,400
I don't know. It's just fun.

495
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,360
The concept reminds me of.

496
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:13,200
There's this game that like the gameplay was kind of confusing,

497
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:18,080
but the concept was interesting where like everyone basically is at the point

498
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:25,920
where they have like some kind of tech and like ingrained in their heads

499
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,000
and that you can and you're like memories are stored there.

500
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,360
And this chick like goes through the memories to learn things.

501
00:21:34,360 --> 00:21:38,000
And it's called Remember Me.

502
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,840
Oh, OK. I played that. OK.

503
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,040
Yeah, I like it, right?

504
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,120
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

505
00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:47,560
I never fully got into it.

506
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,080
But yeah, it kind of reminds me of that.

507
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,680
Yeah, that's like an action game.

508
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:53,920
Oh, yeah.

509
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,160
You're like running around and jumping on stuff and shooting things. Yeah.

510
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,400
Yeah. When are you getting your VR headset?

511
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,600
I don't know. I still don't know if it's worth it.

512
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,520
We can play. I've been having doubts.

513
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,440
Well, I'd explore new games, maybe.

514
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:15,360
OK. Well, maybe we'll see. Maybe. OK.

515
00:22:15,360 --> 00:22:17,600
Damn. All right.

516
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,280
Joe's mom, he totally wants.

517
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,400
She's not going to class three as for is not going to.

518
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,680
No, you don't do that.

519
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,760
Anyway, let's go into the episode.

520
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:32,920
OK, yeah, let's do that.

521
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,760
Stop coercing me to buying technology and go into the episode.

522
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,280
OK, fine.

523
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,360
Well, start with a voice actor.

524
00:22:41,360 --> 00:22:45,840
The voice actress for Kana Oe is Ikayano.

525
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:47,360
Have I done this one already? I haven't. Right.

526
00:22:47,360 --> 00:22:49,840
No, no, I have not.

527
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:55,880
She is the voice of Ryoko Sakaki in Food Wars.

528
00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,720
I've never seen Food Wars, but like the number of episodes was enormous,

529
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,720
which makes me think that this is the blonde shape.

530
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,520
I just it's like pervy.

531
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:11,120
The number of people I know who like don't really watch anime

532
00:23:11,120 --> 00:23:15,400
but have watched Food Wars is like the only anime is very high.

533
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,760
That's interesting.

534
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:19,200
She's got it.

535
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:20,840
I like it, but OK.

536
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:22,640
Yeah, I've watched like the first episode.

537
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,600
This character is too much for me.

538
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:30,600
She's in like the splash art, like the cover art, but like way, way to the last.

539
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,080
So I don't think she's important, but she shows up a lot.

540
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,320
Rival ish character, maybe.

541
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:39,080
Yeah, she's not the blonde one that I have seen before.

542
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:40,720
Yeah, she's also.

543
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:42,280
What?

544
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,800
Sorry, it's just so strange that that's like the one anime they've watched.

545
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:46,800
I don't know.

546
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:47,800
People like food.

547
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:53,240
It's given them such a distinct image that anime is like perverted too.

548
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,560
Well, you know, they just go soon.

549
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:56,560
They're all like that.

550
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:57,600
I mean, not entirely.

551
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:58,600
I really are.

552
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,360
Not entirely inaccurate.

553
00:24:00,360 --> 00:24:03,200
I cannot get into Food Wars because I am not interested.

554
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,680
I like I do not love food and I do not like go crazy for food.

555
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,320
So like when you just have a montage of somebody making anime food,

556
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,680
I'm like, that's not first off a not real food second off B.

557
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:13,680
I don't care.

558
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:15,520
It's like the worst show for me.

559
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:18,040
Also the framing.

560
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:19,520
OK, I'm not going to complain about Food Wars.

561
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:24,920
Also the voice actress for Alice and Sword Art Online, who is the blonde one?

562
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:29,080
Who's like, I don't remember.

563
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:30,720
No, no, no.

564
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:31,720
The main chick.

565
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:32,720
Oh.

566
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:33,720
Oh, no.

567
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:35,760
She's like a knight or something.

568
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,240
The picture I saw.

569
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:38,800
Alice Zuber.

570
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,840
Golden armor, something I don't know.

571
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,520
It's probably from a later season or something.

572
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,000
I don't recognize her, but, you know, whatever.

573
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:54,520
Also, Mikan Tsu-Miki and Danganronpa for play that another series of visual novels.

574
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:55,560
I bought it.

575
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,280
I just haven't played it yet.

576
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,320
Ah, you play it.

577
00:24:59,360 --> 00:25:00,800
She's Danganronpa, too.

578
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,080
He's the nurse, I think.

579
00:25:04,360 --> 00:25:08,600
Also plays the character in Norian Guilty Crown, which is the main the main girl.

580
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:09,640
Have you seen Guilty Crown?

581
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:11,360
The show is ridiculous.

582
00:25:11,360 --> 00:25:14,200
I feel like I've seen the cover art.

583
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,040
It's a mech show, right?

584
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,200
No. No.

585
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,200
No, it's like a fantasy combat show.

586
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,080
He's like pulling guns out of people's chests or whatever.

587
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:25,080
Like, weird.

588
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:25,880
No, never mind.

589
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,240
I have no idea.

590
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,400
She's like an idol and she sings like little songs.

591
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:33,240
It's like the most ridiculous, like kind of stupid story.

592
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,000
I remember thinking it was really dumb when I watched it,

593
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,720
but I was also like, I don't know, 10 years ago or something.

594
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:45,200
And lastly, she's the voice of darkness from Konosuba, who is the blonde

595
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,640
that is like, I don't know, masochistic, I guess.

596
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,600
And it's like, it's wrecked.

597
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:52,920
Yeah. Yep.

598
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,440
What about Anna from the promise never?

599
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:57,360
Oh, I totally forgot.

600
00:25:57,360 --> 00:25:59,760
I skipped also, Anna from promise never land.

601
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:00,880
That's the orange.

602
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,480
That like the main one is OK.

603
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,960
Wait, no, that little girl, the little girl.

604
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,040
Is that her name? Oh, I don't know.

605
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,840
Anna, this article is about the girl with the two guys.

606
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:19,520
Is she like one of the mothers of the place they live in or something?

607
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,560
For mine, this is a nine year old.

608
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,000
OK. Wait, really?

609
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,760
I haven't watched that in a while, but I heard.

610
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,760
I like search Anna promise never land and I just got a picture of the orange.

611
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,080
OK, she's got blonde hair. She's nine.

612
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,480
I thought I knew this character once.

613
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,400
I don't know. I barely. OK.

614
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,640
I mean, I was just like, this is a.

615
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,440
Follow my. She's got a scarf.

616
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,520
I like the first season where it's like, can we do a breakout?

617
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:46,920
That's good.

618
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,240
And then the seasons keep going and I become and I have heard it's

619
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,000
I heard season two is bad and I. Yeah, so am I.

620
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:57,440
I'm really not interested in seeing what happens after you come out of that place.

621
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:58,960
Like where the season one ends.

622
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,240
So I could see it being like I'm imagining all this stuff

623
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,760
and then it doesn't live up to the expectation.

624
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,160
Like it just seems like it's going to be a bummer.

625
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,600
Why bother? Yes. Yeah. Yeah.

626
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,520
It's creepy.

627
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,840
Not everything needs a sample anyway.

628
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:18,160
So yeah, Anna, the blonde, the blonde nine year old from Promise.

629
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,600
No, I know. Nice. All right.

630
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:25,000
All right. Well, and then also kind of another supporting character.

631
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,320
This she does like a bunch of supporting characters.

632
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,680
This is like always a thing like there was so many shows that she was in,

633
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,400
but it's always just like, who's this?

634
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,960
And they're looking like, oh, OK, yeah, sure. I've seen them before.

635
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:39,400
So it might be better to be a supporting character because then like

636
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,920
because if you're a main character, you know, like you don't want.

637
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,080
They're not going to keep hiring you as a main character and everything

638
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,800
because it's going to be like, oh, well, it's always this person voice acting.

639
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:53,440
All the enemies and then it's like disruptive to the viewing

640
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,840
because then you just think of the other characters they've been.

641
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,440
But like a secondary character, that's like a solid, consistent

642
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:04,160
workspace to you can rely on.

643
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,800
Yeah, I feel like anyways.

644
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,240
Anyway, she has a reverse nine.

645
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,040
It's called I cannot hide.

646
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:17,240
A little easier to comprehend, I guess, the concept at least.

647
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,800
I don't know this one. So this one really got a camp.

648
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:22,920
Yeah, they do.

649
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,920
OK, but it's like literally they hide. All right. Yeah.

650
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:32,000
We open on the crew officially handing in their paperwork to become a club.

651
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,760
Their teacher, who's the same as the tennis coach and the one that got angry

652
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:39,800
at Chi Hai earlier, agrees to be their advisor on the condition that somebody

653
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,880
other than Chi Hai is club president.

654
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:43,840
Chi Hai is bum that she can't be club president.

655
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:48,040
Everybody elects Tai Chi to be president as Chi Hai declares herself captain.

656
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,040
Well, it's much better.

657
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,680
Everybody thinks to tell her.

658
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,600
I think that it's a good idea that she isn't club president.

659
00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:00,560
Like everybody is just like, no, it's probably the right call.

660
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,280
Yeah, their club budgets like $30.

661
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,800
They try to work out how the practices should go.

662
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,520
Everybody calls each other by their derogatory names, except for Tai Chi.

663
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:14,680
The vibes are bad. Chi Hai, a person,

664
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,880
it says that she's going to play against the newbies.

665
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,920
Tai Chi's like they're not going to learn anything if you just play against

666
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,640
like our best player over and over and over again.

667
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:26,560
But Chi Hai insists and says that she's captain, so she should outrank to Tai Chi.

668
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:30,360
President definitely outranks captain, I think.

669
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,160
I captain isn't real.

670
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:33,840
You can't have a captain and a president.

671
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:35,000
What are we doing?

672
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:37,160
They start practice.

673
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,400
Chi Hai is playing as Kana and Nishida is against Tsutomu.

674
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:44,440
They start Chi Hai starts crushing Kana and everybody disapproves.

675
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:46,920
Kana says that this isn't going to work,

676
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:48,800
but Chi Hai explains that she learned from Arata.

677
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:50,120
And if he hadn't destroyed her,

678
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,720
then she wouldn't have been motivated to learn to love Karada.

679
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,040
She says she's not going to go easy on anyone

680
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,840
because they need to be good enough to participate in the tournament this summer.

681
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,080
After practice, Nishida explains the tournament.

682
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:04,160
Chi Hai wants to participate in is called Omi Jingu,

683
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,200
named after the shrine where it's held.

684
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,960
It's in July and it's for the best high school players in the nation.

685
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:13,400
They also have to pass a regionals to qualify, so they need to do that first.

686
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,280
Tsutomu and Kana are like, well, we just started playing and Chi Hai is like,

687
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,880
it's OK because she'll play against all of them every day.

688
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,280
That doesn't sound fun.

689
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,680
It sounds like it's like.

690
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:27,520
Like.

691
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,680
Yeah, it sounds it sounds bad on the train ride home.

692
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,320
Tai Chi tells Chi Hai that she should just let him and Nishida worried

693
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,520
about the newbies and she could just focus on her own play.

694
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,880
Chi Hai reminds him of the team match back from elementary school and he relents.

695
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:45,680
We got to a montage of Tai Chi and Nishida teaching Kana and Tsutomu a bunch of tips.

696
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,680
Tsutomu comes up with a bunch of strategies about card placement.

697
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,920
They start practicing and Kana is able to take a card against Tai Chi.

698
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:56,000
Then they're like advisor teacher suddenly bursant and tells them that it's late

699
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,000
and they all need to go home because the schools close.

700
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,480
They walk home complaining that they only have time to play like two games

701
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,920
before the school closes, because I guess there's not that much time between

702
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,880
like classes ending and like the buildings closing down.

703
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:11,560
Chi Hai mentions a camp that she once went to that was like pretty helpful

704
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,320
because you can just play all day.

705
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,360
The other members all think that this is a great idea and they decide to stage a

706
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,240
camp over the upcoming three day weekend.

707
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,320
If they're going to have a Tai Chi's huge ass house.

708
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:24,560
Fancy town.

709
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,320
Chi Hai goes to Tai Chi's house early.

710
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,440
She tries to go into his room, but he stops there

711
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,160
because a girl shouldn't just rush into a guy's room like that.

712
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,360
We get a scene where she's like, that's weird.

713
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,000
The rest of the crew shows up and they're all surprised that Tai Chi is rich.

714
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:38,000
Okay.

715
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,720
Nishina makes a comment that's like, this is the first time I've thought

716
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:43,480
we live in a class society.

717
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:44,720
Yeah, dude.

718
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:46,320
Nishina is so funny.

719
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:48,440
Oh my God.

720
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:53,600
Chi Hai shows everybody's Tai Chi's Hall of Medals and Awards for things

721
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,840
like violin, horseback riding and skiing.

722
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,040
Tai Chi is not happy about this.

723
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,920
Chi Hai tells Kana that she doesn't like his mom because she gets mad

724
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:01,920
when he doesn't win.

725
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,920
So, and she calls her mis-pressure or something.

726
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:06,440
That's right.

727
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,320
Because there's a pressure cook in that kid.

728
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:09,280
They start practice.

729
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,520
Chi Hai announces that their goal is to play 15 total games over two days.

730
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,800
Everybody is overwhelmed, but they all go for it.

731
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,680
We get a montage of them practicing.

732
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:21,040
They only finish five games before Tai Chi tells Chi Hai that they have to call it.

733
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,120
Kana and Satomu are totally spent.

734
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,520
Chi Hai is like, but you'll play more than that in a tournament.

735
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,160
So we got to keep going.

736
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,960
But Tai Chi tells her that they're going to have to take a break

737
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,400
or like they're going to break themselves.

738
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,800
Yeah, that is so annoying.

739
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:40,440
Like, pretty so frustrating being.

740
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:47,280
I mean, like no one's calling her out on like explicitly how like absurd

741
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,600
and unrealistic she's being.

742
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,240
So the way this episode's end is fascinating.

743
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,040
So I feel like we should just get to the end of our talk.

744
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:54,840
Yeah, okay.

745
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:56,560
Yeah, it makes me mad.

746
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:57,560
Okay, continue.

747
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:01,760
Let's see.

748
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,560
They eat dinner and Ishida is having a grand old time.

749
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,280
Everybody else is suffering though.

750
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,200
Like everyone's having a bad time.

751
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,680
Kana tries to eat and Satomu passes out.

752
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:15,080
Suddenly Chi Hai hears something and tells Canada that they have to hide.

753
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:18,720
The front door unlocks because Tai Chi's mom and sister are suddenly home.

754
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,640
They were supposedly supposed to be gone for the night, but came home early.

755
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:27,080
Chi Hai carries a now passed out Kana home to her place to stay the night.

756
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:31,160
Chi Hai can't sleep thinking about how she might have pushed Kana and Satomu too hard.

757
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:35,040
She thinks about how people have told her that she only thinks about Karta and like

758
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:38,080
doesn't think about all this stuff and she feels bad.

759
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:39,840
Suddenly Kana's alarm goes off.

760
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,160
She gets up and drags Chi Hai off into the night.

761
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:46,480
She drags her to a park where Ishida, Tai Chi and Satomu are waiting for her.

762
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,880
Ishida tells her that they have something to tell her, but before he could say it,

763
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:54,840
Chi Hai apologizes for pushing everyone too hard and not paying attention to their fatigue.

764
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:56,520
The guys don't think that's a problem though.

765
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,600
Nobody cares. Neither does Kana.

766
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:00,120
She's also just like whatever, man.

767
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:01,640
Like we know what we signed up for.

768
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:06,280
Both Kana and Satomu tell Chi Hai that they're going to road to love Karta.

769
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:11,880
They're actually here because it's Chi Hai's 16th birthday and Tai Chi has like a pastry cake

770
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:12,520
looking thing.

771
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,920
Like it looks like a fruit tart or something.

772
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:16,280
Yes, but it's like huge.

773
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:17,160
Yeah.

774
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:22,520
Yeah. They start to eat it and Tai Chi chubs the chocolate face like name plate in her mouth.

775
00:34:23,720 --> 00:34:25,160
Chi Hai is stunned.

776
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,200
Tai Chi tells her that as long as she smiles, Karta will be fun.

777
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:29,560
Chi cries.

778
00:34:31,240 --> 00:34:34,040
They eat cake together while complaining about Tai Chi's mom.

779
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,600
Tai Chi suddenly gets an email from an unknown number.

780
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:38,920
He opens it and is shaken by its contents.

781
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,400
Chi Hai comes over to taunt him with some cake.

782
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:45,240
She's doing like, oh Tai Chi, I brought you just, I brought you some cake.

783
00:34:45,240 --> 00:34:46,920
Ha ha, this is for me.

784
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:49,000
And she goes to eat it.

785
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:53,400
But then he walks over and eats it off of her spoon in a moment that might have only been

786
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:54,440
romantic for him.

787
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:56,280
Yeah, 100%.

788
00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,000
Chi Hai again is stunned.

789
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,920
He tells her that he got an email and shoves the phone into her face.

790
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:05,400
It's a message from a rata that says Tai Chi.

791
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:06,360
Sorry about before.

792
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,200
Tell Chi Hai a happy birthday for me.

793
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:12,760
Chi Hai is touched by his message and thinks that this is the best birthday ever.

794
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:16,360
We pan up to a forlorn Tai Chi while the rest of the crew looks at shooting stars.

795
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:17,960
End of episode.

796
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,520
Okay, first off, okay, I don't know where to start.

797
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:27,240
There's like the Tai Chi thing and then there's the Chi Hai is like being un-

798
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,080
out of touch with humanity.

799
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,240
Yeah, do we want to start with Chi Hai?

800
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:34,600
Yeah.

801
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:35,880
Okay.

802
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:45,480
Okay, on one hand, I do like the idea that the Karate Club is a place where she can be herself,

803
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:45,720
right?

804
00:35:45,720 --> 00:35:47,400
Because she's like, oh, I'm like messing it up.

805
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:51,640
I'm like messing up all my human interactions again by being way too into Karate and everyone's

806
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,360
going to like push me away like they always do.

807
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:58,600
And the fact that it ends with everyone being like, no, you can like, like everybody's fine with it.

808
00:35:58,600 --> 00:35:59,560
It's cool.

809
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:00,600
We're all here for you.

810
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:05,320
You know, this is like a place where you fit in as you've lived your life in a place where

811
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:06,280
you haven't fit in.

812
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,280
Here's a big cake for your birthday.

813
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,520
I think that's like, that's very sweet and very good.

814
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:10,840
Yes.

815
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,680
I don't, I don't really understand how that happened.

816
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,360
Well, like you can't just let her get away with this.

817
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:23,320
Like she was finally feeling a little regretful about it.

818
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:29,160
And then you just totally blow that out of the water and now she's not going to worry about it

819
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:29,800
at all.

820
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:33,640
And I'm like, I feel like she should be a little considerate towards others, you know?

821
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:39,400
But they basically just gave her the green flag to keep on being too much.

822
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:40,040
Yeah.

823
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,440
I mean, she's not being like rude about it.

824
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,400
It's just like you're slotting too much stuff up, right?

825
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:50,280
And I feel like this is what is like the role that she hide in Tai Chi are playing in the

826
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:55,000
club is interesting because he is basically having to like reign her in, right?

827
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:55,880
Yes.

828
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:59,400
In a way that it's like, it's not bad that she's kind of going too, too hard.

829
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,680
Like everyone's like, oh, that like gives us motivation to do it, which I think is probably

830
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:03,880
true.

831
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:08,040
But like there is an awareness.

832
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:08,680
I don't.

833
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:14,840
It is shocking to me how like Tsutomu and Kana are like, oh no, this is great.

834
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,560
I love being pushed to the brink of exhaustion over this game.

835
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:21,240
I just heard about like, I don't, again, I don't understand what these people like about

836
00:37:21,240 --> 00:37:21,640
it.

837
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:25,400
I feel like that's just going to, that's not, I feel like they're just going to get so

838
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:30,200
down on losing that they're not going to, like you need the little wins to like build

839
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:35,080
your confidence doing this thing rather than just getting demolished every time.

840
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:42,120
And I just, I feel like she Haya like has this idea of how she wants the club to go

841
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:46,280
and all this, but none of the things she's doing are contributing to that vision.

842
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:51,160
Tai Chi then has to go and do that, be the one to do these things to make her stuff

843
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,560
happen for her, which is kind of frustrating.

844
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:54,040
Yeah.

845
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:59,400
Well, the other thing I think is interesting is that like the framing, like she Haya's

846
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:05,400
motivation for getting better at Karta was basically frustration at losing, right?

847
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,200
Like that's, I mean, cause she's just like, oh, I played against a Rada who was like,

848
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:12,040
amazing and that like made me frustrated enough to get really good at this game and

849
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:13,880
like figure out what I like about it, right?

850
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:17,240
Which is like a real motivation for doing things like you're wanting to get better

851
00:38:17,240 --> 00:38:18,680
because you don't like losing.

852
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:23,880
But that's also kind of presented as the only motivation somebody can have, right?

853
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:29,320
Because again, with last episodes where we recruited Satomah, we had a lot of people

854
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,120
who were in Nishita, they hate losing, Tai Chi hates losing.

855
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:36,280
Everybody hates losing and that seems to be like the only motivation that is presented

856
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:41,880
for playing this game, which I think is interesting, especially because like Kana is interested

857
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:42,280
in that.

858
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:47,720
And I don't think she, I get no competitive feeling from her particularly.

859
00:38:47,720 --> 00:38:48,200
Yeah.

860
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:56,520
I think like, well, she Haya is only like this, like where Karta is everything because that's

861
00:38:56,520 --> 00:39:00,680
just her default way to be because that's how she was before she even met Karta.

862
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:05,880
And so like she doesn't have, I feel like she can only have, she's like a one trick pony.

863
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:13,880
And like with that, all of her like unlimited energy goes into it, which is just fun.

864
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:19,240
Uh, like replet, replet.

865
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:24,840
The others can't replicate that because one, they don't have that same energy, but also

866
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:28,600
they like value having other things in their lives probably.

867
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:33,480
And so it's impossible to expect them to be on that same level.

868
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:34,040
I don't know.

869
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,600
I'm just like, this is too much to hire.

870
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:43,080
I understand we're simplifying things for the sake of camaraderie and teamwork and blah,

871
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:44,920
blah, blah, but I'd be annoyed.

872
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,800
Yeah, it is a lot, but again, like, you know, I feel like the other, well, this is the thing

873
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:50,280
that's interesting.

874
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:53,640
This is the thing that stuck out to me the most in these episodes, which is like,

875
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:57,960
she's really into it. It seems like Kana and Satomu are also into it.

876
00:39:57,960 --> 00:39:58,840
And she does into it.

877
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,960
And Tai Chi is like the most phoning it in these episodes.

878
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:08,520
Like he is not, everybody else is excited, but him who's just kind of going along with it.

879
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:11,960
He's just like, yeah, I'll be captain or like, I'll be like the club president.

880
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:12,680
That's fine.

881
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:13,880
Like everybody nominates him.

882
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:15,480
He's like, yeah, okay.

883
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,400
And then he's like, oh yeah, we can have a camp.

884
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,320
Oh yeah, we can have it at my house.

885
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:23,960
Like he is not excited about Karda at all. It feels like,

886
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:28,600
well, he's almost the opposite of Shihaya because like she has the one thing and then

887
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:33,480
he's had to do so many things that maybe has a hard time getting invested in anything.

888
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:40,040
Um, and yeah, obviously his intentions with competing are different or they're

889
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:42,760
not based off the game itself.

890
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:46,280
Just for the sake of staying close to Shihaya.

891
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:50,200
Um, still no mention of his goddamn girlfriend.

892
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:52,200
Poor girls.

893
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:53,960
She's just seen a sense.

894
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:55,800
I'm just a silly she's gone.

895
00:40:55,800 --> 00:41:00,760
But yeah, it's like, it's fascinating because like, yeah, I, I don't know what Karda means

896
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,400
to him because like he's obviously, he does all these things, right?

897
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:05,480
And it's just like, okay, do any of these things mean anything to him?

898
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:08,600
Like obviously he likes this one because this is what his friends are doing.

899
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,800
But like, does he like the game all that much?

900
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,120
Is he like excited to go to tournaments?

901
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,200
He's just kind of like, yeah, it's fine.

902
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:18,680
Like we need to stop because these guys are like burnt out.

903
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:19,240
You know what I mean?

904
00:41:19,240 --> 00:41:21,640
Like he is the most chill about everything.

905
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:22,040
Yeah.

906
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:25,000
And also like, nah, I don't know.

907
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,400
He has the least passion out of any of them.

908
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:27,800
Yeah.

909
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:28,200
It feels like.

910
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:32,440
Should we talk about him and these in this episode?

911
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:32,680
Yeah.

912
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:34,040
Should we talk about the rest of Tai Chi?

913
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:35,480
Yeah.

914
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:40,280
I think basically it's so clear that Shihaya doesn't see him that way.

915
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:46,520
And she only thinks about Arata that he's trying to use these like guerrilla tactics to try and like

916
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:54,520
shock her into acknowledging him as a dude by like clearly pointing it out in the instance

917
00:41:54,520 --> 00:42:01,480
of her trying to go into his room and then like, like it's not, it's like very intentional.

918
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,920
He's doing these things and it's not like an organic thing happening.

919
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:09,720
He's just trying to force her to look at him as a guy.

920
00:42:09,720 --> 00:42:10,040
Yeah.

921
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:13,240
I mean, it feels like, I mean, it's all reactionary, right?

922
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,600
It's all like, I mean, he's frustrated.

923
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:18,520
I like, I can tell his frustration, right?

924
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:24,120
Where it's like, oh, Shihaya finally came to my house and it's for this stupid camp that we're doing.

925
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:27,400
And she wants to go into my room like, no, you're not going into my room.

926
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:27,880
You know what I mean?

927
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,200
It's like standoffish a little bit.

928
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:36,440
Like he only like bites off of her like spoon or whatever when Arata emails him and he's like,

929
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:37,080
oh, great.

930
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:38,200
I like forgot about that.

931
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,280
Like he can be normal in normal situations.

932
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:45,400
It's only when something comes up that like should be a romantic moment that's not going to be

933
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:48,040
because he knows that she's not into him.

934
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:48,600
Like this is the thing.

935
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:49,240
Yeah.

936
00:42:49,240 --> 00:42:54,440
Like I feel pretty, I like, I kind of feel for Tai Chi in this episode in terms of like

937
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:56,120
he's been forced to do all this stuff.

938
00:42:56,120 --> 00:43:00,200
Like his mom forces him to do all these extracurricular activities that he does not care about

939
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:01,080
particularly.

940
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:05,080
He's in this car to club that I mean, he likes, but like, does he really care about it?

941
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:05,960
I don't know.

942
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:10,600
There's like the girl he has a big crush on and she like on paper, they do stuff that

943
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:12,520
seems like she would be into him, but she's not.

944
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:14,200
And so this is just his life.

945
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:18,200
Like, of course, like he's just being ground to dust every day of his life.

946
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:20,120
Of course, he's going to be checked out of everything.

947
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:22,040
So yeah.

948
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:23,960
Yeah.

949
00:43:25,720 --> 00:43:26,040
Yeah.

950
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:27,400
Also be checked out of my life.

951
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:28,840
If this is like, oh, okay.

952
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:32,600
Well, like at this point, just let go dude.

953
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:39,160
Like it'll be, you'll be happier if you just, I don't know if he just thinks that if he keeps

954
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:42,440
being around that she'll by default end up with him.

955
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:44,760
But like, I don't know.

956
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:45,400
Cause right.

957
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:49,560
Cause he's so chill about everything that he doesn't seem like one to be so stubborn, but

958
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:51,640
he is on this.

959
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:56,360
Well, I think it's like he's hanging on to something for himself, right?

960
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:59,320
Cause it seems like he pretty much doesn't live his life for himself at all.

961
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:02,200
He always is having to live on the expectations of everybody else.

962
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:07,240
And I think this is something he can at least do that is like for him, right?

963
00:44:07,240 --> 00:44:09,800
It is so clearly doomed.

964
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:12,360
And I think he knows that it's clearly doomed.

965
00:44:13,240 --> 00:44:15,320
But it's like, you just gotta get something to get through the day.

966
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:16,120
You know what I mean?

967
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:16,600
Yeah.

968
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:17,880
And so I get it.

969
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:21,160
But also, bro, you need to just like, I don't know.

970
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:27,960
Well, when he was talking about the whole like being in love is like being uneasy.

971
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:28,600
Always.

972
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:29,960
Or whatever.

973
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:30,200
Yeah.

974
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:32,920
I'm like, it's certainly that way for you, dude.

975
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:39,720
Like I just feel the, the like lack of energy from him or the resignation from him.

976
00:44:39,720 --> 00:44:44,360
And I'd like to see him more happy in general.

977
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:44,920
Yeah.

978
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,800
But hopefully we will get to see that.

979
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:48,600
Yeah.

980
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:53,160
But I do feel like the explaining his home life has like contributed to my understanding

981
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:56,520
of that and like a way that I am like, I'm interested in Tai Chi again.

982
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:57,000
Yeah.

983
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:57,400
After this.

984
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:01,000
It's my favorite after being like, damn, your life just kind of sucks, man.

985
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:06,840
Like I understand that you're good at everything and like Zutomu is clearly like jealous of you.

986
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:08,840
But also your life sucks still.

987
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:10,520
Yeah.

988
00:45:13,240 --> 00:45:14,040
Yeah.

989
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:15,320
So let's move on.

990
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:17,320
All right.

991
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:18,840
Verse 10 is called exchange.

992
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:20,200
Hello's and goodbyes.

993
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:24,360
We open on Chi Hai earning a what?

994
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:25,000
Oh, wearing.

995
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:25,400
Sorry.

996
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:29,720
We open on Chi Hai wearing a Hakama stretching while a bunch of other students look on.

997
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:33,720
We learned that it's the Tokyo regionals firm high schoolers.

998
00:45:33,720 --> 00:45:34,600
It's happening now.

999
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:39,000
We're doing the regional tournament to qualify for the other one.

1000
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:44,440
We cut to kind of fitting everybody in their Hakamas while they all complain because it's

1001
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:46,360
like, oh, it's uncomfortable, but she's like, this is.

1002
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:49,720
Well, everyone else is like looking at them.

1003
00:45:49,720 --> 00:45:52,600
And I could see that being very embarrassing being like that.

1004
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:53,080
Oh yeah.

1005
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:55,720
The what the weirdos wearing the Hakama.

1006
00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:56,840
Yeah.

1007
00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:58,600
Everybody else is just a high schooler.

1008
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:00,840
Well, because it's definitely not something they wear every day.

1009
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:01,960
So that's another thing.

1010
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:05,560
It's like doesn't feel normal at all.

1011
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:06,760
Yeah.

1012
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:11,640
Kana also has like broad brochures for her family shop because she's a genius.

1013
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:12,280
I love Kana.

1014
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:16,120
This is a marketing opportunity.

1015
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:20,200
Chi Hai is overwhelmed to be surrounded by so many cards of players.

1016
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:24,120
She tells Tai Chi that she needs to text her out about it and Tai Chi's like, huh,

1017
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:27,160
you sure do text her out a lot now since your birthday.

1018
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:29,080
Like what's he got to say?

1019
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:32,280
And she's like, oh yeah, he ignores ever all of my text messages.

1020
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:33,400
He's never responded to me.

1021
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:36,440
So embarrassed, which is so cringe.

1022
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:43,080
Can you I just like now I am like so engulfed in like any time Tai Chi hears about something.

1023
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:46,520
He's just like letting out like the biggest cigarette drag of all time.

1024
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:52,680
I'm just like, oh, the girl I have a crush on is like way too into this guy who does not care.

1025
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:52,920
Cool.

1026
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:54,840
Yeah.

1027
00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:58,440
Oh man, that's gotta be so annoying.

1028
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:01,000
Like she's putting so much energy into.

1029
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:05,800
Well, it's like she it's kind of like they're both putting energy into something that's

1030
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:07,160
not being reciprocated.

1031
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:12,840
And so it's probably frustrating for him to see like, oh, she could be putting that energy into

1032
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:18,440
me, but she's wasting it on someone who doesn't appreciate it or like pretty much anybody else.

1033
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:21,080
It's gotta be fucking Arata.

1034
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:27,320
Tai Chi says he understands because both him and Arata feel like she high up belongs to them,

1035
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:30,520
which is when he lost a bunch of points for me by saying that.

1036
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:31,720
Yeah, don't love that.

1037
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:33,080
Hi, my man.

1038
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:38,040
You cannot be you cannot be claiming like holds on other people.

1039
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:41,160
Then he stops some people from taking pictures of them and walks off.

1040
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:44,440
Well, Chi Haya thinks he's been acting differently lately because wow.

1041
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:48,520
I gotta pass the perception check sometime.

1042
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:52,840
Suddenly some guy starts taunting her.

1043
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:53,080
What?

1044
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:55,080
All the girls are swooning.

1045
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:57,480
Oh yeah, yeah, they think he's hot.

1046
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:00,200
Suddenly some guy starts taunting her.

1047
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:03,960
She turns to see his retro from the car to society for back in the flashback.

1048
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:05,800
He is that one guy they played that one time.

1049
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:09,320
His school is good and two of their members are class A.

1050
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:14,120
Chi Haya tells him that they're going to beat them and rushes off thinking about how only one team

1051
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:15,000
can win the tournament.

1052
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:18,760
So like it needs to be them, but that means they're going to have to beat retro's team.

1053
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:23,720
Chi Haya goes to get comfort from Kana, who scolds her for not wearing her Hakema elegantly.

1054
00:48:23,720 --> 00:48:25,240
She calms down.

1055
00:48:25,240 --> 00:48:26,120
The tournament starts.

1056
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:28,680
Each team needs to win three of five matches.

1057
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:33,080
So again, it's the you play like everybody plays one on one.

1058
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:33,400
Individually.

1059
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:35,400
Yeah, you just have to win them.

1060
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:37,960
They start game one.

1061
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:41,720
Chi Haya flings a card and then trips on her the Hama for Hakema retrieving it.

1062
00:48:41,720 --> 00:48:43,320
It's very funny.

1063
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:45,640
Oh my God, so embarrassing.

1064
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:53,320
That's not hurt the touch of me, Matt, like and all your weight going on to that.

1065
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:55,320
Yeah, she like hit her forehead.

1066
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:56,520
She is like done.

1067
00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:00,520
Tome is struggling in his first game.

1068
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:03,320
It ends in the sheet of Chi Haya and Tai Chi won their matches.

1069
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:05,160
Volcana and Tome lost theirs.

1070
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:10,200
Tachi tells Tome that he probably faced their like opponents best player since the matchups are like

1071
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:15,320
more or less random at the beginning because nobody can like scout out the first game because like you

1072
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:17,960
can kind of tell who's good and who's not based on like the scoring lines.

1073
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:20,760
But in the first game, you have no idea because it's the first game.

1074
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:23,080
Nishida and Tai Chi strategize their player order.

1075
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:27,560
Kana asks where Chi Haya is and Nishida tells her that she's texting Arata while eating

1076
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:31,080
different food items each scene because the fat kid likes to eat.

1077
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:31,880
Ha ha ha.

1078
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:36,120
He speculates that she started this club so that she can see him at Nationals.

1079
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:41,160
Volcana is like inspired by the love story, but Nishida is like she probably just wants to play against him.

1080
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:42,760
I don't think I don't think she's capable.

1081
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:44,120
Don't read into it.

1082
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:46,760
Nishida is incredibly perceptive.

1083
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:48,680
Real good rules.

1084
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:52,120
Yeah, I mean, he's a jerk, but at least he's right about things.

1085
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:57,560
Yeah, they leave for the next match while Tome who hangs behind

1086
00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:02,040
frustrated with his performance. The next match happens and Tome is still having a rough go of it.

1087
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:05,480
Kana unexpectedly wins her matches while Tome is still happening.

1088
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:06,280
What?

1089
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:08,440
Sorry, I had a little internet lag as I go.

1090
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:09,400
Joe's not talking.

1091
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:10,360
Let me feel the air.

1092
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:11,400
Oh, sorry.

1093
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:11,880
Sorry.

1094
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:18,040
Kana unexpectedly wins while Tome is still happening and he eventually loses.

1095
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:19,800
Their team wins four to one.

1096
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:25,160
I guess I should explain this so you can everybody, you can say that you're a jerk.

1097
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:30,440
So you can everybody plays the same match basically, but like, you know,

1098
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:32,440
you can organize your cards however you want.

1099
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:38,520
But that means that some people's matches will end early because if you clear your whole side,

1100
00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:39,560
then the game ends.

1101
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:44,200
So like one person can win and then there's like, you know, five or 10 more rounds just based off

1102
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:46,840
of how much they won by the closer games last longer.

1103
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:50,360
I'm just saying this because throughout this tournament, people are going to finish earlier

1104
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:51,800
and there's going to be down to like one person.

1105
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:52,840
Yeah.

1106
00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:57,720
See, they eat lunch and the team is in high spirits, except for Zutomu, who's not.

1107
00:50:57,720 --> 00:51:00,840
Nishita notes that their next opponent has one really strong player, so they should

1108
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:03,320
match him up against Zutomu so the rest can stand a chance.

1109
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:04,600
Fucked.

1110
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:05,800
That's fucked.

1111
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:08,760
I mean, he is kind of him.

1112
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:09,960
I know.

1113
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:11,640
He is again.

1114
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:13,720
Nishita is a jerk, but he is.

1115
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:18,680
Oh, so discouraging.

1116
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:19,320
Disheartening.

1117
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:22,120
Uh, Zutomu has been sat out this whole time.

1118
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:25,080
He asks if he could go home since they don't really need him.

1119
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:26,520
They're like, you can't leave.

1120
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:29,720
And he snaps at them saying that they can just replace him and Kana with whoever.

1121
00:51:29,720 --> 00:51:30,920
Like obviously it doesn't matter.

1122
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:33,560
You got like the three of you will just win everything.

1123
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:36,440
He's just like a fifth person here.

1124
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:40,520
She has says that's not true, but Zutomu accuses her of just wanting to get to nationals to meet

1125
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:42,840
somebody anyway, because that's all she cared about.

1126
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:45,720
He starts to walk off and Tai Chi tells him that he'll let him skip the next match,

1127
00:51:45,720 --> 00:51:47,160
but he needs to be there for the finals.

1128
00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:49,160
She has like, why you letting them go?

1129
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:52,760
But Tai Chi is like, okay, but like, he can't play if he's angry in that state anyway.

1130
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:54,600
So like, just let him cool off.

1131
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:56,440
Nishita is like fine, whatever.

1132
00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:58,200
But Tai Chi says it's not Zutomu's fault.

1133
00:51:58,200 --> 00:51:59,880
They actually aren't really a team.

1134
00:51:59,880 --> 00:52:02,760
They basically are just five people who are playing next to each other,

1135
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:05,640
which is the most true thing anyone has ever said.

1136
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:07,880
I love it.

1137
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:09,480
She just spit in facts.

1138
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:10,440
Yeah.

1139
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:12,760
Uh, or Tai Chi, that's Tai Chi who says this.

1140
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:16,760
Oh, Tai Chi is like, remember it.

1141
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:19,320
Remember an episode like whatever, like three when I'm just like,

1142
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:20,600
this doesn't really seem like a team day.

1143
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:23,800
It seems like there's just three random people playing and they just happen to be on a team.

1144
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:26,440
It turns out, yes, because they're doing it wrong.

1145
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:29,400
Yes.

1146
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:32,840
Tai Chi tells them they need to win this round so they can play with Zutomu again.

1147
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:36,040
Chi Hai is a bit rattled by what Zutomu said.

1148
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:37,960
Their opponents next game are an actual team though.

1149
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:41,880
And they do things like encourage each other, you know, the things you would do if you were

1150
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:44,520
actually on a team and they like high five and stuff.

1151
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:47,240
Chi Hai's game is so bad.

1152
00:52:47,240 --> 00:52:49,000
She misses the Chi Hai Fu Rukard.

1153
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:50,280
That's how bad it's going for her.

1154
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:53,080
The rest of the team is shocked.

1155
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:57,880
Watching on are the students from Haseyo or Haseohai?

1156
00:52:57,880 --> 00:52:59,400
I think it's Hoshu.

1157
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:01,160
Hoshu?

1158
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:01,960
Okay.

1159
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:04,520
I feel like Hoshu, something like that.

1160
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:04,920
Whatever.

1161
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:06,280
This is the team that retro's on.

1162
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:07,640
Yeah.

1163
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:11,080
Their captain, Sudo, explains that the other team isn't very good

1164
00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:15,240
that they're playing against, but they yell a lot, which rattles their opponents because,

1165
00:53:15,240 --> 00:53:16,920
you know, they're using the power of teamwork.

1166
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:20,760
He comments that there's basically no advantage to keeping silence.

1167
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:25,560
So like Chi Hai's team should also be yelling because they're just sitting there silently.

1168
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:26,600
Yeah.

1169
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:32,680
He leans over to see Retro doing some divination to determine the player order for their next game.

1170
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:34,600
Apparently he is very good at this somehow.

1171
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:37,320
Those are custom ass cars.

1172
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:38,120
Yeah.

1173
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:39,400
He's very goofy.

1174
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:40,920
They stop himself.

1175
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:41,800
Yes.

1176
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:46,600
Sudo comments that if Chi Hai's team is going to win, he'll have to play against her.

1177
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:50,120
Retro tells him not to be worried and Sudo says he likes to toy with pretty girls and

1178
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:51,400
Retro calls him a sadist.

1179
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:52,600
Ew.

1180
00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:53,720
Yeah.

1181
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:55,160
Elsewhere.

1182
00:53:55,160 --> 00:54:02,200
Also, I was going to say we didn't mention it, but in the last match, Kana did win her first

1183
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:02,520
match.

1184
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:04,120
So that's exciting.

1185
00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:04,840
Oh, I mentioned it.

1186
00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:06,200
Oh, you did.

1187
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:06,440
Okay.

1188
00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:07,400
I wasn't listening.

1189
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:07,880
My bad.

1190
00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:10,040
Yay, Kana.

1191
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:10,920
Delayed.

1192
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:11,720
Congrats.

1193
00:54:11,720 --> 00:54:12,520
Okay.

1194
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:13,560
Yeah, she did it.

1195
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:13,960
Elsewhere.

1196
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:18,760
Sutomu listens to some other student gossip about Chi Hai's game and how she's playing very poorly.

1197
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:20,040
He yells at them and runs off.

1198
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:23,880
Back in the game, Chi Hai is like, well, like failing.

1199
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:25,240
She's not doing any better.

1200
00:54:25,240 --> 00:54:25,960
Misrably.

1201
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:27,240
Yeah.

1202
00:54:27,240 --> 00:54:31,400
Taisi tries to get her together, but she's totally lost her ability to hear because this is

1203
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:32,440
Chi Hai's thing.

1204
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:36,120
She has superhuman hearing, but not right now because she feels bad.

1205
00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:37,160
It's like all silent.

1206
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:41,800
She's unsure what to do when suddenly Taisi smacks the hell out of a bunch of cards,

1207
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:43,080
snapping her out of it.

1208
00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:47,080
Like he plays the way that Chi Hai does by like flinging shit.

1209
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:49,720
Everyone turns to look as he goes, retrieves the cards.

1210
00:54:49,720 --> 00:54:54,280
On his way back, he passed them on the head and tells Nishida to win his game first.

1211
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:58,760
Then he encourages the rest of them and tells Chi Hai to take a breath because he is the

1212
00:54:58,760 --> 00:54:59,800
team president.

1213
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:01,240
He's the club president.

1214
00:55:01,240 --> 00:55:01,880
He's doing it.

1215
00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:03,080
He's using teamwork.

1216
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:04,360
Taisi has arrived.

1217
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:07,400
Taisi has arrived.

1218
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:09,880
She breathes and is able to calm down.

1219
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:14,200
She looks at her opponent for the first time who's looking pretty worn out and she's like,

1220
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:14,840
Oh, that's right.

1221
00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:16,680
This is one plan against this is the field.

1222
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:23,080
She sees Suzoumu watching from the corner and is aspired to win now that the whole team

1223
00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:23,560
is here.

1224
00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:28,440
She's down by six cards, but has regained her superhuman, her superhuman hearing.

1225
00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:30,280
So she starts to go on a tear.

1226
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:32,920
And she didn't Taisi win their game and Kana loses hers.

1227
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:34,120
So it's down to Chi Hai.

1228
00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:38,040
She wins seven cards in a row and it comes down to the final card.

1229
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:42,280
Tsutomu yells out to Chi Hai to win and she does.

1230
00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:45,080
The game ends and Chi Hai immediately passes out.

1231
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:48,760
Kana runs out to chase out Tsutomu and scolds him for not wearing his Hakama properly.

1232
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:51,960
She tells him that everyone here has been playing for a while.

1233
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:54,520
So it's not their fault if they can't win because they're new players.

1234
00:55:55,080 --> 00:55:59,320
Tsutomu finally congratulates her on her first win as the rest of the team comes out

1235
00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:00,920
carrying a pass out Chi Hai.

1236
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:05,480
Tsutomu apologizes and they all make up and they get pumped for the next match as we cut to credits.

1237
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:08,600
Finally, thinking like a team.

1238
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:08,920
Yeah.

1239
00:56:09,720 --> 00:56:15,240
Oh, it sure would suck if you like learned a game and like played a bunch of hours of it

1240
00:56:15,240 --> 00:56:18,200
where you just got destroyed for several hours and then you went to a tournament and then you

1241
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:19,080
lost every game.

1242
00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:20,680
That would suck.

1243
00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:22,840
That was a big time.

1244
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:27,400
And all your teammates are just like, we should just let you lose actually.

1245
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:29,240
We should strategically let you lose.

1246
00:56:29,240 --> 00:56:31,480
No, it's so awful.

1247
00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:35,640
Well, because they don't know what the they don't necessarily know what the player lineup

1248
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:41,640
is going to be from the other team because it's not it doesn't have to be the same every round.

1249
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:49,000
So like that's why Retro is trying to divinate or predict what their team.

1250
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:53,720
Well, because he thinks the other team is going to win and that Chi Hai's team is going to lose.

1251
00:56:53,720 --> 00:56:57,880
So he's like trying to guess who they'll place where so that they can then place

1252
00:56:57,880 --> 00:57:01,240
strategically.

1253
00:57:01,240 --> 00:57:07,400
So but like it seems like such a gamble to try and guess where their best player is going to be.

1254
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:07,880
Yeah.

1255
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:15,240
I mean, and also it seems like like Retro's team is big enough that not everybody plays every time.

1256
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:17,240
It's like people can take breaks.

1257
00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:17,320
Yeah.

1258
00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:20,680
The team captain is playing even though their team is playing this round.

1259
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:24,440
But Chi Hai's team is only five people.

1260
00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:26,200
So they all have to play every time.

1261
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:26,520
Yeah.

1262
00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:27,080
Yeah.

1263
00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:28,280
That's interesting.

1264
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:29,320
That's stamina.

1265
00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:29,640
Yeah.

1266
00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:31,240
Yeah.

1267
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:33,640
So the team was going through it.

1268
00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:35,080
That kind of kind of makes sense.

1269
00:57:35,080 --> 00:57:36,520
It would this would suck.

1270
00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:37,960
I feel like this would be a bad time.

1271
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:39,320
For sure.

1272
00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:48,440
So now well, I feel like right though, the top team goes to nationals or regionals or whatever it is

1273
00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:49,960
from the Tokyo division.

1274
00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:55,320
But surely the second place team comes in as an alternate in case there's a scandal and it turns

1275
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:58,040
out that the winning team was on like steroids or something.

1276
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:00,520
I guess.

1277
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:00,840
Yeah.

1278
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:01,240
I don't know.

1279
00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:03,320
Oh man.

1280
00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:09,400
But yeah, one team making it seems tough, especially because like Tokyo is a huge district.

1281
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:13,000
So they probably have so many more competitors than like a smaller one.

1282
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:14,040
Yeah.

1283
00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:16,280
Where the competition pulls small.

1284
00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:18,520
By true.

1285
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:19,480
But yeah.

1286
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:22,600
And then I because this is like team matches.

1287
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:29,640
But at one point, I don't know for this one or at some point there'll be like tournaments

1288
00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:33,960
where there's team and individual tournaments.

1289
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:37,640
I don't remember if they do both or if they alternate.

1290
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:38,200
Yeah.

1291
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:42,680
But I mean, we saw them play like in the flashback like where they're all of them are playing in the

1292
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:45,400
same game as opposed like each playing an individual game.

1293
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:45,720
Yeah.

1294
00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:47,080
I don't know if there's like different versions.

1295
00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:47,240
Yeah.

1296
00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:52,360
Well, I don't think I'm guessing the one where you all play off the same field

1297
00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:56,520
is not one that's used in like official matches.

1298
00:58:57,160 --> 00:58:59,000
Just more like fun.

1299
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:00,120
But is that like doubles?

1300
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:00,760
You know what I mean?

1301
00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:03,480
Like something like that.

1302
00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:12,280
I was at last night at my sister at Christmas party and one of the girls there was from Japan

1303
00:59:12,280 --> 00:59:15,320
and she's only been living in the U.S. for a little bit.

1304
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:19,880
But I asked her if she played card and she's like, yeah, it's more like a thing my family

1305
00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:24,120
does a tradition on New Year's but not like a regular thing we ever did.

1306
00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:30,280
So more of just like a novelty than like playing Monopoly.

1307
00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:31,560
Yeah.

1308
00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:31,880
Yeah.

1309
00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:33,000
Yeah.

1310
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:34,600
So I thought that was interesting.

1311
00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:36,840
Yeah.

1312
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:38,040
So tournament.

1313
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:39,160
Yeah.

1314
00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:40,040
They do the tournament.

1315
00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:42,600
It goes bad.

1316
00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:43,720
Zatomi has a bad time.

1317
00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:44,440
He gets over it.

1318
00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:46,440
You know, I feel like this is pretty good.

1319
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:50,440
Like this is a pretty good standard like new player stuff.

1320
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:54,680
I would also get frustrated but he needs a better outlet for getting frustrated than

1321
00:59:54,680 --> 00:59:56,040
just by yelling at everybody.

1322
00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:57,720
Then again, they are not a team.

1323
00:59:57,720 --> 01:00:02,920
Tai Chi again correctly diagnosis their problem, which is they really are just five people

1324
01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:03,720
playing this game.

1325
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:04,920
They are not acting like a team.

1326
01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:05,880
It'll do anything like a team.

1327
01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:08,840
Tai Chi pulling his weight.

1328
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:15,640
Especially like always not seeming that interested in like a he's not seeming like

1329
01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:19,560
motivated and I mean he's not unmotivated, but he's not excited about any of this stuff.

1330
01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:25,720
But at least like for someone who's not as interested and also didn't want to be

1331
01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:31,480
coordinating all this, he's like stepping up because it's like what's best for everyone,

1332
01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:33,160
which is nice.

1333
01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:41,080
Like he, you know, he has compassion for others, which is refreshing in comparison to Chi Haya.

1334
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:41,800
Yeah.

1335
01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:44,680
It turns out Tai Chi is the most reliable out of all of them.

1336
01:00:44,680 --> 01:00:45,560
Yes.

1337
01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:46,200
Yeah.

1338
01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:48,040
So who's your favorite character now?

1339
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:50,760
I mean, I guess it's Tai Chi at this point.

1340
01:00:51,720 --> 01:00:55,160
Yeah, I guess Tai Chi and then Chi Haya.

1341
01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:55,720
Kana.

1342
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:57,400
No, Kana released.

1343
01:00:58,440 --> 01:01:03,000
I like that Tai Chi acknowledged her business since he's like on it.

1344
01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:04,760
Yeah.

1345
01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:07,880
Yeah, I don't know.

1346
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:13,080
I don't remember disliking Chi Haya, but I guess now that we're in a place where analyzing it,

1347
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:14,760
I'm like, ugh.

1348
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:15,880
Yeah.

1349
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:18,760
Well, there just hasn't been like a payoff to any of her stuff.

1350
01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:19,320
Yeah.

1351
01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:19,960
No.

1352
01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:20,600
You know what I mean?

1353
01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:26,120
There also hasn't been a payoff to like why people like Karate.

1354
01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:32,120
I'm still like on that where it's just like, why does, why does Satomu like Karate?

1355
01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:37,320
It's like this tournament, which I get because it's like, imagine you play this complicated game

1356
01:01:37,320 --> 01:01:40,680
against a bunch of people that are good and you just did bad over and over and over again,

1357
01:01:40,680 --> 01:01:41,480
but you kept winning.

1358
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:43,160
So you kept having to play.

1359
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:44,360
Oh, yeah.

1360
01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:44,520
Yeah.

1361
01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:44,600
Yeah.

1362
01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:44,840
Yeah.

1363
01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:45,480
Yeah.

1364
01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:47,800
Like you don't even have the dignity of going home.

1365
01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:49,640
You have to keep doing bad.

1366
01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:53,400
Oh man.

1367
01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:53,720
Yeah.

1368
01:01:55,080 --> 01:02:00,040
I'm excited because moving forward, we'll be covering three episodes at a time, which means

1369
01:02:00,040 --> 01:02:04,280
I'll get, because like two episodes doesn't feel like enough to watch.

1370
01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:06,680
Like I need more Chi Haya Furu.

1371
01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:07,400
It's so good.

1372
01:02:09,080 --> 01:02:10,440
Oh man.

1373
01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:10,760
Yes.

1374
01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:11,320
Yes.

1375
01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:11,960
Now we're.

1376
01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:12,760
Yeah.

1377
01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:14,760
So we'll be doing lots of three.

1378
01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:16,600
I don't find these that hard to summarize.

1379
01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:19,320
We'll probably like go through them a little bit faster, especially because like we're in

1380
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:22,760
tournament mode, which I feel like there's a lot less character stuff to talk through.

1381
01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:23,640
Talky talk.

1382
01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:23,880
Yeah.

1383
01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:26,840
So next time we're going to watch 11 through 13.

1384
01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:30,920
How hard this is going to be for you to recap, but you're doing a good job.

1385
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:32,680
But like this last episode was pretty short.

1386
01:02:32,680 --> 01:02:35,240
I mean, like the word count on this is not enormous.

1387
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:38,680
So we're going to try three.

1388
01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:39,560
We'll see how that goes.

1389
01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:40,600
Yeah.

1390
01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:44,760
We'd have to do at least one of those because of how the, there's an odd number of episodes.

1391
01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:47,080
So if it goes good, we'll just keep doing three.

1392
01:02:47,080 --> 01:02:48,520
If it goes bad, we'll switch back to two.

1393
01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:49,160
Okay.

1394
01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:49,720
Yeah.

1395
01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:50,360
All right.

1396
01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:53,320
That's Chi Haya Furu this week.

1397
01:02:54,440 --> 01:03:00,520
Um, well, let's I guess continue our recommendation.

1398
01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:01,400
Yeah.

1399
01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:02,280
Talk to me about G-wish.

1400
01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:03,480
What do we call this?

1401
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:04,920
Yeah.

1402
01:03:04,920 --> 01:03:08,920
I only got a chance to watch like two more episodes, I think, but.

1403
01:03:08,920 --> 01:03:09,160
Okay.

1404
01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:11,160
Okay.

1405
01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:17,800
I need to know, is this going to be like, it's like Yuri coded, but there's the show's just

1406
01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:20,440
pretending they're friends and nothing actually happens.

1407
01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:21,720
Is that the case?

1408
01:03:21,720 --> 01:03:21,960
No.

1409
01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:23,800
Okay.

1410
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:29,400
Cause like there's like howl looking guy who like, I get the vibe of like, oh, he's going

1411
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:32,920
to be interested in Sue Letta and this and that.

1412
01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:37,640
And I wasn't sure if it was going to be like setting up these male characters as a fallback

1413
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:42,520
for the end of the show for them to pair off with.

1414
01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:44,760
No, it's not going to do that.

1415
01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:45,000
Okay.

1416
01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:46,440
Okay.

1417
01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:47,560
Her mom's haircut.

1418
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:51,000
Hey, a crime.

1419
01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:53,640
Keep the helmet on.

1420
01:03:53,640 --> 01:03:54,680
Oh my God.

1421
01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:55,400
Yeah.

1422
01:03:55,400 --> 01:03:56,760
Her mom's weird dude.

1423
01:03:59,080 --> 01:03:59,480
Yes.

1424
01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:01,480
Yeah.

1425
01:04:02,360 --> 01:04:03,480
Well, okay.

1426
01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:07,400
Cause it's just because up to this point, it's just like school really and like

1427
01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:08,920
doles against the same guy.

1428
01:04:08,920 --> 01:04:15,080
So I'm like hoping we get more like either learning to do new cool things or like wider

1429
01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:18,040
scale stuff rather than one on one.

1430
01:04:19,720 --> 01:04:22,280
Or what the curriculum looks like at this school.

1431
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:24,280
But we'll, we'll see.

1432
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:25,720
Probably not going to the characters.

1433
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:28,520
I like Sue Letta.

1434
01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:34,120
I do like she's very quirky and I'm watching in dub, but the dub voice actress is doing

1435
01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:42,200
a very good job of like voicing that like the good transitions from like talking normally

1436
01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:46,760
to like being hiding behind a corner or stuff like that is good.

1437
01:04:48,120 --> 01:04:50,200
So you watched for episode four?

1438
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:50,440
Yeah.

1439
01:04:50,440 --> 01:04:52,440
I think I'm on episode five.

1440
01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:55,160
Did you see the part where she punches that chick?

1441
01:04:56,120 --> 01:04:56,440
No.

1442
01:04:56,440 --> 01:04:57,160
Oh, I don't think so.

1443
01:04:57,160 --> 01:04:58,200
You're not on episode four.

1444
01:04:58,200 --> 01:04:58,600
Okay.

1445
01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:03,560
We have a guy proposed to her after being beat down a second time.

1446
01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:04,600
Oh yeah.

1447
01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:05,720
I didn't mean it.

1448
01:05:05,720 --> 01:05:06,600
I didn't mean it.

1449
01:05:07,240 --> 01:05:08,440
That guy's such a moron.

1450
01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:09,080
I love him.

1451
01:05:09,080 --> 01:05:09,640
He's so stupid.

1452
01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:11,480
His hair is insane.

1453
01:05:11,480 --> 01:05:12,360
He looks terrible.

1454
01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:14,200
So funny.

1455
01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:16,280
His brother looks normal.

1456
01:05:17,560 --> 01:05:18,680
He's such a little freak.

1457
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:20,280
Yes.

1458
01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:22,360
Okay.

1459
01:05:22,360 --> 01:05:30,760
Oh, it's interesting because like those two are the only gun or the only mobile suits I've

1460
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:37,640
really seen so far and hers is very classic looking and his is very flashy with like a

1461
01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:39,880
friggin feather cap and shit.

1462
01:05:39,880 --> 01:05:40,120
So.

1463
01:05:40,840 --> 01:05:44,680
Oh, I interest to just see what the other designs look like.

1464
01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:45,880
Yeah.

1465
01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:48,040
And her mom is just lying straight to her face.

1466
01:05:48,040 --> 01:05:50,360
So that's why her mom is so crazy.

1467
01:05:50,360 --> 01:05:51,960
So I fuck it all the time.

1468
01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:54,760
Every time she says something, I'm just like, what the fuck are you saying?

1469
01:05:55,960 --> 01:05:57,240
What is what is happening here?

1470
01:05:57,240 --> 01:06:02,360
Yeah, I know I have expected her mom to be like that or something, but no, she's in it.

1471
01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:06,840
But like it feels like she's like, what is the intention of sending her here?

1472
01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:13,000
Is she just using her kid's bait to get this big company to like buy into something and then

1473
01:06:13,800 --> 01:06:17,560
turn her back on them because she's like trying to get into the good graces currently.

1474
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:22,760
So it'll be interesting to see how that part of it plays out.

1475
01:06:22,760 --> 01:06:26,200
Yeah, I like the girl with the black and blue hair.

1476
01:06:26,200 --> 01:06:27,400
Oh, yeah.

1477
01:06:27,400 --> 01:06:29,160
The girl with the pink pigtails.

1478
01:06:29,160 --> 01:06:30,440
Her hair is insane.

1479
01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:32,760
Yeah, she's great.

1480
01:06:32,760 --> 01:06:34,040
She's so angry.

1481
01:06:34,040 --> 01:06:36,760
But yeah, well, we'll see.

1482
01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:38,760
So yeah, still good so far.

1483
01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:41,320
I just haven't had as much downtime this week.

1484
01:06:41,320 --> 01:06:43,480
Yeah, I'm playing so much Baldur's Gate.

1485
01:06:43,480 --> 01:06:45,000
Yeah, but you're gonna stick with it.

1486
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:45,720
How about you?

1487
01:06:45,720 --> 01:06:48,360
I was forgotten and going.

1488
01:06:48,360 --> 01:06:51,400
I play more forgotten and this is the most.

1489
01:06:51,400 --> 01:06:52,760
Clearly.

1490
01:06:52,760 --> 01:06:53,960
Okay, so the guy's name.

1491
01:06:55,240 --> 01:06:56,040
Bonkoo.

1492
01:06:56,040 --> 01:06:58,280
It's Bonkoo who's the guy who runs everything.

1493
01:06:58,280 --> 01:06:59,880
You're the enforcer there.

1494
01:06:59,880 --> 01:07:02,280
Learn some interesting things in the lore.

1495
01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:03,640
Should I spoil this for you?

1496
01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:06,280
If you haven't played this, should I not spoil it for you?

1497
01:07:06,280 --> 01:07:07,480
I guess I won't spoil it for you.

1498
01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:08,280
Back all hat.

1499
01:07:08,280 --> 01:07:09,480
No, you can't.

1500
01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:10,840
The gist of it.

1501
01:07:10,840 --> 01:07:16,200
It's very clearly that this Bonkoo guy showed up instead of like establish himself as like

1502
01:07:16,200 --> 01:07:19,720
a pseudo dictator and like basically you were like installing the

1503
01:07:19,720 --> 01:07:21,320
surveillance state.

1504
01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:23,960
It is the most you are clearly the bad guys.

1505
01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:30,200
He calls all the like animate objects things at a point and it's like, ah, I see.

1506
01:07:30,200 --> 01:07:31,400
I don't remember.

1507
01:07:31,400 --> 01:07:32,840
Is he human too?

1508
01:07:32,840 --> 01:07:33,960
Yes, he is human.

1509
01:07:33,960 --> 01:07:36,840
That's why he like, you know, because they're animated objects, right?

1510
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:37,640
Yeah.

1511
01:07:37,640 --> 01:07:42,520
So like they are literally things, but like they also means he's referring to the

1512
01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:44,840
mess things even though they clearly are just people.

1513
01:07:44,840 --> 01:07:46,040
Yeah.

1514
01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:48,040
So is and.

1515
01:07:48,040 --> 01:07:55,320
So so is and like having some kind of moral conflict with like the way he's

1516
01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:56,840
treat because I don't remember.

1517
01:07:56,840 --> 01:07:58,440
Is it like she grew up there?

1518
01:07:58,440 --> 01:08:01,560
She just doesn't remember her life before she doesn't remember.

1519
01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:05,960
This is what she's known as people her whole life and he's treating them like that.

1520
01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:07,960
So how does she feel about it?

1521
01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:10,920
Or she's just like, whatever, or that's up to you to decide.

1522
01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:13,080
Her memory is seems to be bad.

1523
01:08:13,080 --> 01:08:16,360
Like she seems to have memories before he was in charge of everything because he's

1524
01:08:16,360 --> 01:08:18,120
like, oh, I kind of remember that, but not very well.

1525
01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:20,520
Like people have to reminder of stuff that happened in the past.

1526
01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:24,200
Like you meet like a character that's like basically like a grandma that like you used

1527
01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:25,320
to hang out with.

1528
01:08:25,320 --> 01:08:28,520
She's like, I remember when you guys first got here and she's like, oh, I only like vaguely

1529
01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:29,160
remember that.

1530
01:08:29,160 --> 01:08:31,080
So it's like in there, but not really.

1531
01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:40,520
That makes me think it's like planted memories or like suggested memories and not

1532
01:08:40,520 --> 01:08:42,200
her actual or something.

1533
01:08:42,200 --> 01:08:45,240
Anyway, so like it's a lot of that.

1534
01:08:45,240 --> 01:08:51,160
I mean, again, you can make every decision is like, do you want to be a cop or do you

1535
01:08:51,160 --> 01:08:54,680
want to be like a person?

1536
01:08:54,680 --> 01:08:55,000
Yeah.

1537
01:08:56,520 --> 01:08:57,720
And so it's a lot of stuff.

1538
01:08:57,720 --> 01:09:04,360
Well, obviously I'm being like I'm being a person because I don't I don't know about

1539
01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:05,320
this guy.

1540
01:09:05,320 --> 01:09:06,360
I don't know this bunker guy.

1541
01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:07,080
Who the hell is he?

1542
01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:07,640
I just joined.

1543
01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:09,720
I started this game three hours ago.

1544
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:11,800
I have no loyalty to him.

1545
01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:15,000
So that is that is where I'm at.

1546
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:19,960
And, you know, I've like obviously I've defied him a couple times hasn't resulted in anything

1547
01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:21,320
bad for me yet.

1548
01:09:21,320 --> 01:09:21,720
Yeah.

1549
01:09:21,720 --> 01:09:22,280
Yeah.

1550
01:09:22,280 --> 01:09:22,920
Yeah.

1551
01:09:22,920 --> 01:09:26,360
And also I have the little gauntlet where I can steal people's life juice.

1552
01:09:26,360 --> 01:09:27,400
So like what's he going to do?

1553
01:09:27,400 --> 01:09:28,360
Send people after me.

1554
01:09:28,360 --> 01:09:29,800
I'll just steal their life juice.

1555
01:09:29,800 --> 01:09:29,960
Uh-huh.

1556
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:32,040
It was in charge here.

1557
01:09:32,040 --> 01:09:33,240
It's me, it turns out.

1558
01:09:33,240 --> 01:09:33,560
So.

1559
01:09:33,560 --> 01:09:33,880
Yes.

1560
01:09:34,840 --> 01:09:36,840
Don't you have like wings or something?

1561
01:09:36,840 --> 01:09:37,800
Yeah, you do get it.

1562
01:09:37,800 --> 01:09:38,520
You get like some.

1563
01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:39,880
So cool.

1564
01:09:39,880 --> 01:09:40,200
Yeah.

1565
01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:42,920
I will say the puzzles getting a little bit more nebulous.

1566
01:09:42,920 --> 01:09:46,200
Like I've had to look up some of them because it's just like it's not clear to me what you're

1567
01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:46,840
supposed to do.

1568
01:09:48,440 --> 01:09:50,200
But you know, I can look them up.

1569
01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:50,840
It's fine.

1570
01:09:50,840 --> 01:09:55,160
So I okay, you recommended me a show and I recommended you a game.

1571
01:09:55,160 --> 01:10:01,400
Do we like once we kind of like finish these recommendations, do we switch or can I recommend

1572
01:10:01,400 --> 01:10:02,200
another game?

1573
01:10:03,400 --> 01:10:04,040
I mean, it's a deal.

1574
01:10:04,040 --> 01:10:07,800
Or do you request what kind of media we want to be recommended for?

1575
01:10:07,800 --> 01:10:08,680
We can also do that.

1576
01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:11,720
Like, I, you know, if I like don't want to play another game, I'll just be like, hey,

1577
01:10:11,720 --> 01:10:13,000
recommend me something that isn't a game.

1578
01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:14,440
Okay.

1579
01:10:14,440 --> 01:10:15,560
Yeah, let's do that.

1580
01:10:15,560 --> 01:10:17,160
That seems to be the best way to do it.

1581
01:10:17,160 --> 01:10:17,960
Yeah.

1582
01:10:17,960 --> 01:10:18,440
Okay.

1583
01:10:18,440 --> 01:10:18,840
Cool.

1584
01:10:18,840 --> 01:10:22,200
So we're both making a little bit of progress and.

1585
01:10:22,200 --> 01:10:23,240
Haven't given up yet.

1586
01:10:23,240 --> 01:10:23,720
Let's see.

1587
01:10:24,360 --> 01:10:30,280
As the year comes to an end, if you guys want to give us a holiday gift, you should totally

1588
01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:33,560
for real Z's Q Joe.

1589
01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:35,160
Oh, you're not going to say it.

1590
01:10:35,160 --> 01:10:35,960
I thought you were doing it.

1591
01:10:35,960 --> 01:10:40,920
Yeah, stars on your platform, your podcast platform of choice, whatever you're listening

1592
01:10:40,920 --> 01:10:42,520
on right now, you can rate it five stars.

1593
01:10:42,520 --> 01:10:44,280
You could just go into the little thing, please do that.

1594
01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:45,560
It's easy to not do that.

1595
01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:47,400
It does help us out quite a bit.

1596
01:10:47,400 --> 01:10:48,440
We are a new show.

1597
01:10:48,440 --> 01:10:53,560
We're trying to gain some notoriety and an easy way to do that is to let people know that

1598
01:10:53,560 --> 01:10:54,280
you think it's good.

1599
01:10:56,120 --> 01:10:57,880
Oh, you can also do that by leaving a comment.

1600
01:10:57,880 --> 01:11:00,840
So if you're an Apple podcast, you can leave a comment there that helps with whatever

1601
01:11:00,840 --> 01:11:07,240
algorithm ranking thing they've got going on, I think if you're in some other platform,

1602
01:11:07,240 --> 01:11:10,440
you can leave comments on like episodes, maybe and maybe that'll help.

1603
01:11:10,440 --> 01:11:10,920
I don't know.

1604
01:11:10,920 --> 01:11:11,960
Kind of nebulous.

1605
01:11:11,960 --> 01:11:18,120
And be sure you're following us and so like looking us up every week that you know the

1606
01:11:18,120 --> 01:11:19,160
episode comes out.

1607
01:11:19,160 --> 01:11:21,560
Yeah, be sure you're like following us as well.

1608
01:11:22,360 --> 01:11:23,000
That helps.

1609
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:28,760
Yeah, you can subscribe to the RSS feed that we have if you're using an RSS feed.

1610
01:11:28,760 --> 01:11:29,960
Or any of those other things.

1611
01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:33,640
Also, tell people about word of mouth.

1612
01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:34,360
Oh, yeah, go ahead.

1613
01:11:35,400 --> 01:11:40,840
I was going to say in our show description, there will be, I guess, depending what platform

1614
01:11:40,840 --> 01:11:46,520
you're on, if they carry the link over, but if you there is a part that says follow us

1615
01:11:46,520 --> 01:11:47,480
on all the things.

1616
01:11:47,480 --> 01:11:51,480
And if you select that, it'll take you to our link tree, which links to all our different

1617
01:11:52,120 --> 01:11:53,080
platforms and stuff.

1618
01:11:53,080 --> 01:11:53,800
Yeah.

1619
01:11:53,800 --> 01:11:54,280
Yeah.

1620
01:11:55,480 --> 01:11:57,640
So, yeah, I think that's a good point.

1621
01:11:57,640 --> 01:12:01,160
So please do all that word of mouth, all that stuff.

1622
01:12:01,160 --> 01:12:04,520
Please tell people about us or make it through Chi Hai Furu.

1623
01:12:06,920 --> 01:12:07,720
You know, we'll be done.

1624
01:12:07,720 --> 01:12:10,360
Other requests for what we cover next.

1625
01:12:10,920 --> 01:12:13,160
Oh, we already know what we're doing covering next.

1626
01:12:13,160 --> 01:12:14,200
We're not taking requests.

1627
01:12:14,840 --> 01:12:15,720
Just kidding.

1628
01:12:15,720 --> 01:12:21,400
But if you have things you would eventually want us to watch, we will then take some requests

1629
01:12:21,400 --> 01:12:25,320
for some stuff if you really want us to cover something in the future.

1630
01:12:25,320 --> 01:12:28,920
Sure. We have the next couple things planned out, but after that, you know,

1631
01:12:28,920 --> 01:12:31,080
or flexible or flexible.

1632
01:12:31,080 --> 01:12:31,560
Yeah.

1633
01:12:31,560 --> 01:12:32,120
Sweet.

1634
01:12:32,120 --> 01:12:32,520
Okay.

1635
01:12:32,520 --> 01:12:32,840
Cool.

1636
01:12:33,240 --> 01:12:38,200
I know I slept in late this morning, but I desperately need a nap.

1637
01:12:38,200 --> 01:12:38,840
Are you serious?

1638
01:12:38,840 --> 01:12:40,600
You just woke up like two hours ago.

1639
01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:41,640
I know.

1640
01:12:41,640 --> 01:12:42,520
I'm tired.

1641
01:12:43,080 --> 01:12:43,560
Oh my God.

1642
01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:46,120
I just want to lay in my bed and be cozy.

1643
01:12:46,120 --> 01:12:47,320
It's raining outside.

1644
01:12:47,320 --> 01:12:48,920
Something is deeply wrong.

1645
01:12:48,920 --> 01:12:49,960
Have my little warming pad.

1646
01:12:51,240 --> 01:12:52,360
I don't know.

1647
01:12:52,360 --> 01:12:53,560
I cleaned a bit.

1648
01:12:53,560 --> 01:12:54,600
I vacuumed.

1649
01:12:54,600 --> 01:12:58,040
And I got to make sure my place is pristine for when you come visit.

1650
01:12:58,920 --> 01:12:59,320
Uh-huh.

1651
01:13:00,120 --> 01:13:02,360
I don't want you to be like, uh, crazy animal.

1652
01:13:02,360 --> 01:13:02,600
In like two weeks.

1653
01:13:02,600 --> 01:13:04,760
You have this stinky place.

1654
01:13:04,760 --> 01:13:05,240
I don't.

1655
01:13:05,240 --> 01:13:05,560
Oh yeah.

1656
01:13:06,440 --> 01:13:06,840
Okay.

1657
01:13:06,840 --> 01:13:07,560
Yeah, no.

1658
01:13:07,560 --> 01:13:07,720
No problem.

1659
01:13:07,720 --> 01:13:08,120
Yeah.

1660
01:13:08,120 --> 01:13:09,080
But it'll be fun.

1661
01:13:09,080 --> 01:13:17,800
We'll be sure to record a podcast in person and maybe we'll do like a live stream thing on our

1662
01:13:17,800 --> 01:13:19,000
Twitch channel maybe.

1663
01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:20,360
But yeah.

1664
01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:25,320
So some extra content should be coming out of our real life interactions.

1665
01:13:25,320 --> 01:13:26,680
We'll be going to a convention.

1666
01:13:26,680 --> 01:13:29,240
So we'll be sure to spread the good word about the podcast.

1667
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:32,600
Because you guys super care about that.

1668
01:13:34,520 --> 01:13:43,160
Anyways, we hope you enjoyed listening and that you're just dying to hear what happens next

1669
01:13:43,720 --> 01:13:44,360
next week.

1670
01:13:44,360 --> 01:13:52,680
And have happy holidays and all that good stuff that we learn anything, Joe.

1671
01:13:54,360 --> 01:13:54,680
Yeah.

1672
01:13:55,240 --> 01:13:58,520
Don't, uh, don't, don't push new members to the breaking point.

1673
01:13:58,520 --> 01:14:01,320
Don't just like invite a bunch of people to play a game and then destroy them without

1674
01:14:01,320 --> 01:14:04,440
holding back at all and then tell them you're going to play 15 games in a row.

1675
01:14:04,440 --> 01:14:07,000
I feel like that's a real good way to chase a bunch of people off.

1676
01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:10,920
It worked out here for Chi-Haya, but I don't, I don't think you can replicate this in real

1677
01:14:10,920 --> 01:14:11,160
life.

1678
01:14:11,160 --> 01:14:11,640
I just don't.

1679
01:14:11,640 --> 01:14:17,160
You'd struggle to get the five members don't immediately send them off.

1680
01:14:17,160 --> 01:14:20,760
If you're able to convince five people to play a game you like,

1681
01:14:20,760 --> 01:14:23,240
do not make it a miserable experience for them.

1682
01:14:23,240 --> 01:14:27,560
Yes, I can say personally, I've convinced no one to want to play this game with me.

1683
01:14:28,520 --> 01:14:31,000
They've all been reluctant and it's only been one time.

1684
01:14:32,040 --> 01:14:35,800
So I understand the plight of getting people to play card with you.

1685
01:14:35,800 --> 01:14:36,920
It is tough.

1686
01:14:36,920 --> 01:14:37,800
It's a tough sale.

1687
01:14:38,760 --> 01:14:39,080
Yeah.

1688
01:14:39,720 --> 01:14:40,200
Yeah.

1689
01:14:40,200 --> 01:14:40,920
All right.

1690
01:14:40,920 --> 01:14:42,200
Maybe that says something about the game.

1691
01:14:43,720 --> 01:14:48,200
No, it's people that don't want to push their brains.

1692
01:14:48,200 --> 01:14:48,840
Sure.

1693
01:14:48,840 --> 01:14:50,760
I'm lazy and I still like it.

1694
01:14:50,760 --> 01:14:52,680
I'm bad at it and I still like it.

1695
01:14:53,640 --> 01:14:56,760
But also me it's just because I love this show and I just want to

1696
01:14:57,320 --> 01:14:58,840
do have a thing that's like the show.

1697
01:14:59,960 --> 01:15:00,360
Yeah.

1698
01:15:00,360 --> 01:15:03,880
Anyways, catch you next time.

1699
01:15:03,880 --> 01:15:19,800
Bye.
