00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:20,960
Welcome to show Joe the podcast where I Sarah introduced my friend Joe to show Joe anime.

2
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,840
And so showing Joe show Joe.

3
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:25,840
Get it.

4
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:27,840
So good.

5
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:29,840
Let's see.

6
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:36,000
We've got to hire for your coverage and we're excited to cover it because these are quite

7
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,000
a good bunch of episodes we've got today.

8
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,000
Yeah.

9
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,440
There needs to be like a sound.

10
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:47,040
We need like a sound prompt to play when the show gives me what I want.

11
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:51,080
Like a little ding or something because like it's happening.

12
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,280
The show has arrived in episode 17.

13
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:58,680
We got the list out the things and I can be like ding ding ding.

14
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,360
I can find sound effects for free.

15
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,120
Oh, like we're going to be like since I just want like a little like celebration like

16
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:05,120
yay.

17
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:06,120
Yay.

18
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:07,120
The episodes are good.

19
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,620
I could crack out my harmonica.

20
00:01:09,620 --> 00:01:12,080
We're doing what we want me to do.

21
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:13,560
Yeah, I know.

22
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:14,560
Yes.

23
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,200
But before we get to all of that, let's catch up.

24
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,520
It's weird because you've only been gone a few days.

25
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,320
You're going to be back in a few days.

26
00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:28,240
But in that time, what's been going on?

27
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,680
This is the most traveling I ever do.

28
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,600
It's like I have to do three plane rides in like two weeks.

29
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:36,600
That's crazy.

30
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:37,600
What's going on?

31
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:38,600
We watched a movie.

32
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:39,600
Oh my God.

33
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:40,600
Right.

34
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:41,720
Let's talk about this.

35
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:47,520
We went to an anime movie, the Lord of the Rings anime movie.

36
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,480
The War of Rakhiram or something.

37
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,120
The War of Rakhiram.

38
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,760
Sarah, what did you think about this anime movie we watched?

39
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:03,240
Well, what I think and what you think, I mean, basically, I was like, oh, it's fine.

40
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:07,960
I guess I enjoyed watching it and I thought the characters were hot.

41
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:13,000
So that's like a big strong factor for me.

42
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,600
Caring the movie, I guess.

43
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,920
Disappointed about certain.

44
00:02:18,920 --> 00:02:23,200
Basically, why put hot people in there if nothing's going to happen, man?

45
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,000
You know, why are you doing this to me?

46
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,000
Like they don't make out.

47
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,000
Yeah.

48
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,000
Yeah.

49
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,120
OK, because they did stuff.

50
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:32,120
It was too boring.

51
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,000
OK, well, what did you think, Joe?

52
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,000
I thought it was bad.

53
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,000
Buckle up, people.

54
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,000
Here we go.

55
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,160
I thought it was pretty bad.

56
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:45,720
You know, this is like they had to make this movie for to keep the rights to like make more

57
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,360
Lord of the Rings movies or whatever.

58
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,800
So like it's it's clearly rushed.

59
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:54,080
The animation is kind of weird because like they're like the character is in like the

60
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,560
horses and like all that stuff is drawn in like an anime kind of style.

61
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,640
But then the backgrounds look like they're rendered using something else.

62
00:03:01,640 --> 00:03:06,920
I looked at the Wikipedia and the way they like did the modeling was like they didn't

63
00:03:06,920 --> 00:03:10,360
do rotoscoping, which is what they did for the Ralph Backsheet Lord of the Rings from

64
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,840
like way back when they like film somebody and then draw over it.

65
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:21,960
They did like they mocap somebody like did the rigging in Unreal Engine and then painted

66
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:30,960
over the Unreal Engine things that moved around, which just seems kind of like more work, honestly.

67
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,640
And it also doesn't like look great.

68
00:03:33,640 --> 00:03:36,440
I mean, the movement looks fine, but like it doesn't mesh with the background.

69
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,360
It looks very odd to me.

70
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,960
Anyway, so like the animation looks kind of weird.

71
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,960
I don't really think that's like the problem with it.

72
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,520
I mean, like, you know, whatever, it's fine.

73
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:46,520
They had to crunch it.

74
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:52,120
I never I never really feel like anything's animators fault because the animation industry

75
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:53,600
is a mess.

76
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,240
The bigger problem is that this just isn't a story.

77
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:57,640
There's just no story here.

78
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:03,080
This is just stuff happening for two hours and 14 minutes, which is way too long and

79
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:04,360
it's crazy boring.

80
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:05,360
Yeah, right.

81
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:11,640
Because you mentioned like, oh, they picked Rohan like they could have picked a much more

82
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:18,160
interesting origin for the characters and setting for conflict and all that.

83
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:19,160
Yeah.

84
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:20,160
Yeah, there could have been so much more stuff like that.

85
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:21,160
Yeah, it's animated.

86
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,120
So like you can you can animate whatever, right?

87
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:27,280
Like you have unlimited special effects budget and animation because it just costs the same

88
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:29,800
as everything else, more or less, right?

89
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,440
As long as it's not moving.

90
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,320
But they didn't really do a lot with it.

91
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,360
I mean, there is there are a couple cool parts where like an elephant gets eaten by like

92
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:37,480
some weird monster.

93
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,000
That's cool.

94
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,360
But for the most part, it's like, I don't really didn't really feel like it took advantage

95
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:47,000
of the animation super, super well.

96
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,040
And also it's just like a whatever story.

97
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,040
I don't know why it's even in Lord of the Rings.

98
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,960
It has nothing to do with anything that Lord of the Rings is about.

99
00:04:53,960 --> 00:05:00,040
Well, you think if they had wanted to like have the rights to Lord of the Rings movie,

100
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,400
you think they would have done something already and done it with intention rather than this.

101
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,400
This is legendary.

102
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:07,400
Right.

103
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,440
The folks who did like the Batman movies and stuff.

104
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,080
I remember seeing their.

105
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,080
Let me look real quick.

106
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,920
Because what would have been the last movie they did?

107
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,640
Did they do the Hobbit movies?

108
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:22,640
New.

109
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:23,960
There's a lot of production companies on this.

110
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,120
There's way too many production companies on this.

111
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:30,360
I just remember seeing the legendary logo.

112
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:35,640
New Line Cinema, Warner Brothers Animation, Sola Entertainment, Wingnut Films, Domain

113
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,760
Entertainment, Middle Earth Enterprises.

114
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,000
OK, maybe I'm imagining.

115
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,560
I feel like that was on there.

116
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,560
Anyway, there was no romance.

117
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:48,560
There should have been.

118
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:49,560
This should have been like.

119
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,240
They said it up to have romance like redemption for romance.

120
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:54,640
His name is Wolf.

121
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,640
His name is because he should have better name.

122
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,200
He was like an he's like a little bit of like an out outcast.

123
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:02,200
You know what I mean?

124
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:03,200
And she's like a princess.

125
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,680
She's like fitting because she's like headstrong or whatever.

126
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,080
It was right there.

127
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,920
It was right there and it was obvious and they didn't do it and said they did something

128
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,960
way more boring and not interesting at all.

129
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,640
I mean, I can see.

130
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,200
I don't know if this is even a thing.

131
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:26,560
Uh, like in my mind, I'm like, oh, games like Tim Raider.

132
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:32,080
Laura never has a romantic interest because she can't be strong if she's also in love

133
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:33,240
kind of thing.

134
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,760
Like, you know, like, I feel like, no, I know that's a thing.

135
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:41,240
Yeah, I feel like that must be it, right?

136
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:47,640
Because like, why can't they also have love but still be a strong female protagonist?

137
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:54,440
You know, because every dude has a love interest, even in like stories or like it adds absolutely

138
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,800
nothing to it.

139
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:02,400
Yeah, that's because like the like the Hollywood strong female protagonist thing is like very

140
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:07,480
stupid and like people don't like it, but they don't like it because they're like, you

141
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,920
know, weird conservative anti-woke weirdos.

142
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,240
But the actual problem with it is that they're just really boring.

143
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:18,080
Like they're not actually people, you know, like I feel like a character that would be

144
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,320
like that probably would have some romantic interest and could have romantic interest

145
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:22,320
and still be.

146
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,720
Yeah, because she's a bad ass.

147
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:31,040
She's like, oh, she has to be Joan the maid or something.

148
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:32,600
It's just like, oh yeah.

149
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:33,600
Like why is this?

150
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:38,640
Why is this how we're doing things in 2025 or 2024?

151
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,200
We're still doing like girl bossification stuff.

152
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:43,200
It's dumb.

153
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,360
I guess it's not girl boss because she's not a boss.

154
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:46,360
No.

155
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,160
No, she's like, no, I'm not like other girls.

156
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:51,160
Okay.

157
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,080
But okay, the story sets her up like that.

158
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:58,760
I feel like at least she doesn't like super play into it.

159
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:03,520
Like there's one there's like one line where she's like, I don't want to get married, but

160
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:08,360
it's not like constantly her talking about how like, I don't want to get married and

161
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,320
just, you know, blah, blah, blah.

162
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,600
I want to do this or that.

163
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:13,600
Yeah.

164
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:21,800
Like I feel like she still I don't know, just being a good child of a, I don't know.

165
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:22,800
Was he the king?

166
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:23,800
Yeah.

167
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,920
He was the king of robot or whatever.

168
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:26,920
Okay.

169
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:27,920
Yeah.

170
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:29,840
They do set that stuff up, but then they kind of just don't really do anything with it.

171
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:34,760
It's really weird because it's all about like in the beginning part of the movie, it really

172
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:40,720
seems like the king creates his own problem and like downfall, but then it's like when

173
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,440
things go bad for him, we're supposed to feel bad for him.

174
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,440
And then everyone's like, oh, he was such a great king.

175
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:46,880
And I'm like, no, he wasn't.

176
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:47,880
He sucked.

177
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:48,880
Yeah.

178
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:50,520
He caused this problem.

179
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,920
And then it's like, ah, she's got to pick up the mantle and then she could become a good

180
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:55,920
leader or something.

181
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,080
And then like, I don't know.

182
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,160
The whole thing was just like, what are we doing and why?

183
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,920
And then she does it, which I guess.

184
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:04,200
Spoiler for the end of the movie.

185
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:05,200
She's not.

186
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:06,200
Oh, sorry.

187
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,320
And said she's going to go on a quest to go seek Gandalf.

188
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:10,320
Oh, that's right.

189
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:11,320
Oh, he's so mad.

190
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:12,320
And they anime shalamons.

191
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:13,320
Yeah, anime shalamons.

192
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:14,320
Yeah.

193
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:15,320
The wizard.

194
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:22,320
Crazy.

195
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,480
The new guy who hangs out in the garden.

196
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,440
Sure, that's going to go well.

197
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:31,320
We could just have it be isolated story.

198
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:37,600
We, you know, like adding that on at the end of the movie isn't going to add anything for

199
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:42,560
us to like make us feel like, oh, it's in the world or the rings.

200
00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:43,560
Now.

201
00:09:43,560 --> 00:09:47,520
Add it on, but they have to add it on because then it has literally nothing to do with Lord

202
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:48,520
of the Rings.

203
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,880
Like again, the idea that you would make like a Lord of the Rings side story and you'd

204
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:59,640
put it in Rohan, the most normal ass place in the entire book series.

205
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,720
Like it's not even the one with the giant throne.

206
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,040
No one sits in and there's like King's absent.

207
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,040
It's just like the normal kingdom where people ride horses.

208
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,120
That's just, that's literally anything.

209
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:10,120
Like that's just game of thrones.

210
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:11,120
Like what are we doing?

211
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:12,120
This could be in any world.

212
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,600
Why would you set it in the most boring place?

213
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:15,600
Yeah.

214
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:21,840
I mean, if I like, I feel like watching Lord of the Rings, I never like, oh, I want to

215
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:22,840
be part of that world.

216
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,960
Like it looks like a sucky world, but I wouldn't want to live in.

217
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:32,320
So like, I feel like you can only enjoy the story and like a negative, like nothing happy

218
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,920
can happen in like that world.

219
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,000
It says like the, the allegory for different stuff.

220
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,000
You know what I mean?

221
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,000
Like, oh, the elves are like this.

222
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,920
They like represent this and the doors represent this and the hobbits represent this.

223
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:50,200
Like staging stuff that doesn't engage with that in that world is just kind of weird.

224
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:51,200
I don't know.

225
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:52,200
Yeah.

226
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,720
Well, this was clearly a fail on that.

227
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,200
So this was pretty bad.

228
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:57,200
Yeah.

229
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:58,200
Yeah.

230
00:10:58,200 --> 00:10:59,200
Say box office.

231
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,880
Well, one, you only knew about this because I told you about it.

232
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,680
I don't remember where I saw it.

233
00:11:03,680 --> 00:11:09,960
And I saw it on a Twitch ad or something, but like did a terrible job marketing it.

234
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:16,080
It's only in like random ass movie theaters that like barely anyone goes to because that

235
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:21,680
was like, maybe there's like two theaters it was playing in and this in the greater

236
00:11:21,680 --> 00:11:23,680
Austin area.

237
00:11:23,680 --> 00:11:30,200
And it, you know, wasn't in theaters exclusively for very long.

238
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:35,840
They immediately threw it on streaming like two weeks after launch.

239
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:41,440
So as a movie and financially flopping.

240
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,320
Yeah, it's just, I don't know.

241
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,960
You know, this has just become the way of everything now.

242
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,600
Like I feel like nothing gets advertised.

243
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:53,760
I feel like everything just gets thrown into like streaming slop and it all is kind of

244
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:54,760
bad.

245
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:55,760
Yeah.

246
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:56,760
So that's unfortunate.

247
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,520
I did watch another thing.

248
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:03,280
I finally finished Gundam wing after watching that for a long time.

249
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:04,280
Yes.

250
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:05,280
Finished it.

251
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,960
It did not end particularly well.

252
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:13,360
No, definitely a show that like sets up a lot of stuff and you're like, ooh, there's

253
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,640
a lot of interesting ways this could go.

254
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:20,640
And then I guess they had like huge production issues when they were making it in 1994 or

255
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:21,640
whatever.

256
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:26,080
And like they had to get a new director and clearly whatever they had like set up just

257
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:27,080
like didn't make sense.

258
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,520
Cause at the end of it, things were just off the rails.

259
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,520
People were just doing stuff at a character.

260
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:36,120
People were just saying things that just didn't seem to matter or make a lot of sense.

261
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:37,920
It was just a huge mess.

262
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,360
And then it ends and I'm like, all right.

263
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,040
Well, I guess that's the end of that.

264
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:43,040
Yeah.

265
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:44,680
So not that good.

266
00:12:44,680 --> 00:12:49,400
Normally like the arc of like they start off well, the middle part, like weird stuff

267
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,800
happens and you're like, okay, this was kind of like, you know, this is because it's a

268
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,400
50 episode show or whatever.

269
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:55,880
So like the middle parts are weird.

270
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,360
But then there's like a middle finale and that's usually pretty good.

271
00:12:58,360 --> 00:12:59,560
And then it drags again.

272
00:12:59,560 --> 00:13:00,880
And then the ending is really good.

273
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,440
So you're like, okay, cool.

274
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,320
This was just like beginnings.

275
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:05,320
Great.

276
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:06,560
The middle part's pretty good.

277
00:13:06,560 --> 00:13:09,040
The second half of the middle part is like, I don't know what's happening.

278
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,040
And then the end is just like, I don't know why any of this stuff happened.

279
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:20,160
So very sad that the second to last episode was like flying into confusion or something.

280
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:21,160
Yeah.

281
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:25,440
The second episode is called take off into confusion.

282
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:29,040
And the thumbnail is a picture of one of the characters named trays just like pinching

283
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,240
the bridge of his nose like he thinks this sucks.

284
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,880
And I'm just like, wow, it's incredible.

285
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,520
It's like they know that this is a huge problem.

286
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,520
They're trying to tell you.

287
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,520
Maybe it's trouble.

288
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,760
I'm going to win.

289
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:44,760
Not great.

290
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:45,960
I've heard that endless waltz.

291
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,880
The kind of sequel thing is pretty good though.

292
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,080
So I'm looking forward to that.

293
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,240
But the next thing I'm going to watch is Oh, wait, the mess team.

294
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,400
So and my names are crazy.

295
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,760
The waltz endless waltz.

296
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,840
It's called a mobile suit Gundam wing endless waltz.

297
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,040
That's a good name.

298
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:04,040
Okay.

299
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,440
If you say so.

300
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:07,760
Okay.

301
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,040
Anything else with me?

302
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:17,160
I was just squeezing any like horror stories from flying like the Austin airport sucks

303
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,720
now or anything like that.

304
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:20,720
The airport was fine.

305
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,920
I didn't have any problems coming back.

306
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:23,920
Going there.

307
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,400
I had huge problems because I just like sat on a plane for like three hours extra.

308
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,280
But coming back was totally fine.

309
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:31,280
Good.

310
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:35,920
Well, he was hoping your flight in two days is good too.

311
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:36,920
Yeah.

312
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:44,280
I saw an ad for that one random airline that we saw on the at the terminal that was like,

313
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:45,480
what the hell is that?

314
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,440
I saw an ad for it on Disney Plus.

315
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:48,440
So.

316
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:49,440
Oh, wow.

317
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:50,440
Okay.

318
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:51,440
I don't know.

319
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:52,440
It is real.

320
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:53,440
Yeah.

321
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:58,320
I mean, airlines was over.

322
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,800
Arthur like, I do not keep up with the news.

323
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:06,920
Is there like issues with some airlines reputations?

324
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,240
Like some bad things have happened.

325
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:10,240
Okay.

326
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:15,320
Let me, this is like the chance to get in and try and be a new.

327
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,160
They tried that and a lot of them failed a couple years ago.

328
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:19,160
So I don't know.

329
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,520
But that's just, did you watch anything?

330
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:22,520
Have you watched anything?

331
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:23,520
Okay.

332
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:24,520
So.

333
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:25,520
Watched.

334
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:32,320
I, I today I was watching a little bit of Star Wars and New Hope because I wanted to

335
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:37,960
rewatch the first three movies since Star Wars Outlaws, which I started playing is set

336
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:42,320
between episodes five and six, I think.

337
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:48,120
And I was like, you know, just get in the mindset of even though I'm already like 35

338
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:49,800
hours into this game.

339
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:55,080
And watching it, I was like, damn, they did a good job at recreating because I'm, I'm

340
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,160
at, oh God, S.

341
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:01,480
Oh, the Tatooine city.

342
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:02,480
Yes.

343
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:03,480
Most Isley.

344
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:12,320
And so seeing that in the movie, like they did such a good job.

345
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,400
But maybe it's like, oh, all they had to do is recreate existing things.

346
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,200
So like, they didn't even have to think that hard about it.

347
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,440
But I'm really enjoying this game.

348
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:28,200
Also, Luke, I feel like his actor, not that I feel like he's not very good at acting in

349
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,880
the first movie at least, like he's a little.

350
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:33,360
Well, he's playing.

351
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,360
Mark Hamill is.

352
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:36,360
That's true.

353
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:37,360
Acting Mark Hamill.

354
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:42,120
It's like Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher, though, like they're both doing a very good

355
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:43,120
job.

356
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,720
Hello, Harrison Ford in particular is doing a very good job.

357
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,720
But yeah.

358
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,000
He was a much more established actor at the time.

359
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,000
Yes.

360
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,000
Yeah.

361
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:57,600
It's crazy because it is so 70s looking with Luke's hair.

362
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:02,400
But some of the CG, I guess they were using CGI back then.

363
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:03,880
And it's just like a re-release.

364
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:05,640
So this is like a re-release of old.

365
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,000
I think I rather see the old one.

366
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:14,800
Like huge on remastering stuff and adding CGI to it later and everybody thinks it looks

367
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:15,800
bad.

368
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,600
It looks really bad.

369
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,960
He just does it anyway and everybody hates it.

370
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:20,960
Okay.

371
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:21,960
So is there no right?

372
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:22,960
I've heard of this.

373
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:23,960
Is there no it's hard.

374
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:24,960
You can look them up.

375
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:26,880
You have to like find them, but there are.

376
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:31,400
That's like there's like a scene where Java falls off something.

377
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:35,520
It just looks like this like 20 clump of brown.

378
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,040
It looks so bad.

379
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:38,040
Yeah.

380
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,640
Like it looks so bad.

381
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:42,640
Just leave it be.

382
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:43,640
Yeah.

383
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,640
We all know it's like the CGI guy.

384
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:51,880
The prequels trilogy is kind of just an ad for like that.

385
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:52,880
Yeah.

386
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:56,000
They're doing, which is why like there's a lot of it in there.

387
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,320
It like doesn't look that great.

388
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:58,320
And like the story is crazy.

389
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,800
I mean, it looks fine for like the time it came out.

390
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,640
I mean, but when it came out, it was like cutting edge, right?

391
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,080
So like look better than everything else in retrospect.

392
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:07,360
It doesn't look that good.

393
00:18:07,360 --> 00:18:08,360
That's the problem.

394
00:18:08,360 --> 00:18:09,880
He's always doing that.

395
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:10,880
Right.

396
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:11,880
Yeah.

397
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,600
Like when I watched stuff about Star Wars, it's like, oh, people are hesitant.

398
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:24,400
To use CGI because things like a few years previous that it was cutting edge technology

399
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,040
already is aged like two years later.

400
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,640
So people were very hesitant to use it at all because they didn't want their movies

401
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,520
to be aged by the effects.

402
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:34,520
Yeah.

403
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:35,880
Which I get out of this.

404
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,240
But Star Wars holds up.

405
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,240
It's so good still.

406
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:41,240
Let's see.

407
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:42,800
But yeah, it's so bad.

408
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:50,920
And yeah, the first three episodes, like I can't remember the story because it was boring

409
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:52,920
because it was politics.

410
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:59,320
Like the trade federation opening the opening of episode one.

411
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,320
Horrible negotiation.

412
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:05,640
Yeah, it's bad about who has like shipping lane rights.

413
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:06,640
Yeah.

414
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:07,640
Stupid.

415
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:08,640
Awesome.

416
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:09,640
Actually, no, it's stupid.

417
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:13,320
You would open on that.

418
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,320
It's so wild.

419
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,560
No, terrible.

420
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,640
Four children who had to sit through that.

421
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,320
I think I was one of those children.

422
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,800
I remember seeing episode one in theaters.

423
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,160
That's OK because Jar Jar Big shows up and you're in pain.

424
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:32,000
It's our favorite little race.

425
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:39,600
My I think my favorite Star Wars character from the movies is.

426
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,600
C3 Pio.

427
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:46,720
He's always funny and entertaining.

428
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:51,160
And then it's like you could just be making up whatever R2-D2 saying and making him look

429
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,160
bad by just making up.

430
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:59,720
But anyway, so yeah, I've been playing a lot of Star Wars outlaws like so much like

431
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,880
Saturday I played 13 hours.

432
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,680
So I have I have issues.

433
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:12,480
I think most normal people don't put that much time.

434
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,480
Straight in a game.

435
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:20,560
No, that's like not what I do not do that, for example.

436
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,800
Oh, I do not do that.

437
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:23,800
For example.

438
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:24,800
Strongly.

439
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:25,800
Yeah, I don't.

440
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,400
I'm glad you like it.

441
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:29,400
It's a fun game.

442
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:30,400
Yeah, I like it.

443
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:31,400
The speeder.

444
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:35,000
The speeder is my only issue with the game.

445
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,440
It's annoying because it's like you like press this button to recall and then it like one

446
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:45,200
takes forever to get to you, but also won't like the behavior won't change to just come

447
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:46,560
to wherever you are.

448
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:52,600
It just goes past you to go to wherever you originally pressed that button, which is stupid

449
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,600
and I hate it.

450
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,600
It's the biggest complaint in the game so far.

451
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,960
That's pretty funny.

452
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:09,200
The next little guy, Mark, Markle, I think the species that he's so cute and can get

453
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,200
outfits for him.

454
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:15,080
And he's doing a lot for me.

455
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:19,120
And case, I keep thinking like K is such a lame name.

456
00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:20,400
Give her a better name.

457
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,200
Like best cool ass name.

458
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:28,080
K, like K best sounds good together, but like you give her such a more interesting first

459
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:33,520
name because then it's like you just rip it off like, oh, instead of Ray, we'll do K.

460
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,520
And that's lame.

461
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:40,600
But other than that, also so many aliens.

462
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:46,160
I'm like you hoping for like a hot person to join our crew, but I don't think it's happening

463
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:47,160
at this point.

464
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:51,680
I mean, they're hot and to other aliens, but they're not doing it for me.

465
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:52,680
Aliens.

466
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:53,680
No.

467
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:54,680
It's a romance game.

468
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:55,680
Like is there anything?

469
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:56,680
No.

470
00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,560
I need something to fabricate in my mind.

471
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:01,560
Okay.

472
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:08,360
I fantasize that there's some kind of lingering tension between K and someone.

473
00:22:08,360 --> 00:22:11,960
But there's not so far.

474
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:12,960
Yeah.

475
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:13,960
I do that.

476
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,800
Like even to raise the tomb raider.

477
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:26,080
I was like, oh yeah, this guy is basically like it turns out is like hundreds of years

478
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:27,080
old or something.

479
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:28,080
But I didn't know at the time.

480
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,080
I was like, he's kind of cute.

481
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:31,080
They get along.

482
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,080
Let me just imagine.

483
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,080
You know, kind of into.

484
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:37,080
Yeah.

485
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,080
I guess I do that.

486
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:40,080
A lot.

487
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,080
Or just makeup.

488
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,080
You're not interesting.

489
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:45,080
Yeah.

490
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:51,080
Well, like what does it mean to be a shipper outside of what I just described?

491
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,080
Like are you doing action wise?

492
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,080
Like I'm not going to illustrate or something.

493
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,080
You're like writing little fanfics.

494
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,080
No, I don't really draw.

495
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,080
I don't draw very much anymore.

496
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,080
And whenever I did draw, I wouldn't draw things I knew.

497
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:10,080
I just like basically just doodle cute anime girls and.

498
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:15,080
With no nothing specific in mind.

499
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:21,080
But yeah, so Star Wars, not like Mastik, Mastik, hot aliens.

500
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:22,080
Star Wars.

501
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,080
Not so what do you do?

502
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,080
Because we also watch a little bit of high Q.

503
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:27,080
Did we talk about this last week?

504
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:28,080
No.

505
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:29,080
What do you do?

506
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:33,080
Are you like, are you like, oh, there's no romance.

507
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:40,080
No, because a lot of times in those, it's like, I don't even like sometimes like

508
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:45,080
the characters that much, but it's just like the action and like the goal they're

509
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:46,080
trying to work towards.

510
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,080
That's exciting.

511
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:49,080
Okay.

512
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:53,080
It's like the characters alone maybe aren't that good and they're only good

513
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,080
together or something.

514
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:56,080
Yeah.

515
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,080
I don't know.

516
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,080
I know I don't do boy.

517
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,080
I don't default to boys love.

518
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,080
There's nothing else.

519
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,080
Okay.

520
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:10,080
Because let me tell you, we watched the first like seven or eight episodes.

521
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,080
Thank you.

522
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,080
I feel like.

523
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:18,080
And that show was only about volleyball and literally nothing else.

524
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:23,080
I was shocked by how much it's just look at this volleyball game.

525
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,080
They're going to form a volleyball team.

526
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,080
Oh, this guy doesn't want to play volleyball.

527
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,080
Let's motivate him to play volleyball.

528
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,080
I'm just like, bro, what people love this.

529
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,080
People love it.

530
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,080
Yeah.

531
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,080
That's like she hiya is like a nice.

532
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:42,080
Band out in sports anime.

533
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,080
Like it has those outside.

534
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:45,080
Well, yeah.

535
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:46,080
Okay.

536
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:52,080
There are some outside elements that are like real like only exist because

537
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,080
the card that they do exist.

538
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,080
Triangle thing going on for it.

539
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:58,080
So that's something.

540
00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:59,080
Yeah.

541
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,080
But like, man, I don't know.

542
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,080
I was shocked by IQ.

543
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,080
So you're not going to watch it anymore.

544
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,080
I mean, people, I guess we like the drama of the sport.

545
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,080
Like it's really the drama of the sport.

546
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:11,080
That's like, yeah.

547
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:15,080
Like once we have schools or rivals with and like.

548
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:16,080
Which is interesting.

549
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:17,080
Back to each other.

550
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,080
Cause like I'd rather watch a fight.

551
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:24,080
I'd rather watch like an anime fight than watch like people play

552
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:25,080
volleyball sport.

553
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:26,080
I don't care about.

554
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,080
No, I guess so good.

555
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,080
Volleyball that I'm just like, this is just like, it's not like

556
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,080
the stakes are really not that high.

557
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:34,080
Like this stuff isn't that important.

558
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:35,080
Y'all are kind of free.

559
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,080
Like hyper fixating on this so much.

560
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,080
Only if it was professional volleyball.

561
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:42,080
Yeah.

562
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,080
I'm like, you know, serious.

563
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,080
You guys don't hang out and aren't really friends.

564
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,080
And I don't like most of the people on the team.

565
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,080
I think Tanaka is your favorite.

566
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,080
The one who likes to pretend he's a little fog.

567
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:55,080
Yeah.

568
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:56,080
Captain.

569
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:57,080
Diety.

570
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:58,080
Okay.

571
00:25:58,080 --> 00:25:59,080
Everybody else kind of.

572
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,080
No, see, I'm like, Hanada.

573
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:02,080
I don't like him.

574
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,080
I don't really care for him.

575
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:05,080
He's like a little.

576
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,080
He like has the psycho eyes sometimes.

577
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,080
And I'm like, yeah.

578
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:10,080
No, it's like us.

579
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:11,080
You know, it's weird.

580
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,080
I don't get like he has like a weird crush on there.

581
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:14,080
Like assistant or whatever.

582
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,080
And it seems like he's never around girls,

583
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,080
but he like practiced with the girls volleyball team before.

584
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:20,080
That's true.

585
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:24,080
But I mean, maybe it's because he couldn't possibly be into women

586
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,080
who stand above him.

587
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,080
Like they're better than him.

588
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:30,080
So he wouldn't be interested.

589
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,080
It's only when like he feels like he.

590
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,080
It's better than them that he can.

591
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,080
Feel romantic towards them.

592
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:37,080
Maybe.

593
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:41,080
She doesn't talk so it doesn't matter, but.

594
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:42,080
Yeah.

595
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:43,080
Yeah.

596
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,080
No, she's a whatever character.

597
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,080
There's absolutely nothing.

598
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:48,080
It's.

599
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:49,080
Yeah.

600
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,080
I don't think I'm going to continue with it.

601
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,080
I don't think I like sports anime.

602
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:54,080
Yeah.

603
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:55,080
That's fine.

604
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:56,080
I don't think so.

605
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,080
I only have watched like.

606
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,080
To you know what blue.

607
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,080
Lock also does the psycho eyes.

608
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:04,080
It's like.

609
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,080
Ball is life.

610
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:07,080
Like.

611
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:08,080
I don't know.

612
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:09,080
Like a German pointer.

613
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,080
Human form.

614
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,080
Like they can't think of anything else with the ball.

615
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:15,080
So it's bad.

616
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,080
It's like a weird.

617
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:18,080
I don't know.

618
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,080
I don't like it when they give them crazy eyes and it's like,

619
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:21,080
oh, they're not normal.

620
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,080
Like that's how into soccer they are.

621
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,080
What you know is too much.

622
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,080
They're not real humans.

623
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,080
Other interests or hobbies or anything.

624
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:33,080
Yes.

625
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:34,080
Yeah.

626
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,080
I mean, I've talked about this with you a lot when I was like.

627
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:38,080
Yeah.

628
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,080
I mean, I've been in sports.

629
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,080
Animes because like.

630
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,080
I used to do a band in high school and like.

631
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,080
Marching band was a thing you had to do when I hated it and like it's

632
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,080
sucked and everyone was like, oh yeah, you know,

633
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,080
it's really rough when you do it, but then after it's done,

634
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,080
you're just like, oh, I can't wait for next year.

635
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:55,080
And I like.

636
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,080
The first year and it ended.

637
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:58,080
And I didn't feel like that.

638
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,080
I just felt like it sucked.

639
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,080
I was like, what the fuck this was just terrible the whole time.

640
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:04,080
And now it's over.

641
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:05,080
Glad it's over.

642
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:06,080
Yeah.

643
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,760
and play some music. No, I had to always be trying to be the best

644
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,880
and giving it all, giving my all to everything or people would get mad at me.

645
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:15,880
And that just sucks. So I quit.

646
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:20,560
And I'm like, now I'm watching these shows where like it's just full of all of those people.

647
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,880
I'm just like, you guys would be a mess.

648
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,160
Like I would hate hanging out with you in real life.

649
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,000
Parable. Yeah. Yeah.

650
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:34,360
When I think about my time across country, I'm just like, why would I do that?

651
00:28:34,360 --> 00:28:36,920
Why did I do that for like,

652
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,360
you know, six years or whatever?

653
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,480
It's insanity.

654
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,200
We're all doing stuff.

655
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:46,800
It's fun.

656
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,760
We don't have the the critical thinking skills when we're young.

657
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:55,440
I just suffered through it for some reason.

658
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:58,440
Yeah. So.

659
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,920
Yeah. That's my official stance.

660
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,560
I think just need more.

661
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:08,640
They need more that like explore like, well, that badminton,

662
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,280
whatever, was that one seems like it.

663
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,600
Right. Yeah, I got that.

664
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:17,560
That's like using sports as like the setting, but not the story.

665
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,160
Yeah, I'm sorry.

666
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,120
So that seems like a better method.

667
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:26,880
So you get to see some sports stuff, but it's like there's things outside of that that exists.

668
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:28,000
Yeah.

669
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:32,600
And it's not so much about the sport. It's about like what the sport represents and how it like

670
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,240
embodies their like different problems or struggles they're having.

671
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:37,840
You know, it's like it's like that.

672
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:41,120
And I think that's better because I don't care about badminton.

673
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:42,560
Yeah, I know.

674
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:46,480
Watch, I know badminton seems like a lame sport, but people have to be in.

675
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,400
It's like a super lame sport.

676
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:52,800
I know it's in the Olympics and it's real, but also it's just so goofy.

677
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,360
Yes. Oh, man.

678
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,720
OK, well, all right.

679
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,320
Well, the sports anime we're watching, huh?

680
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,320
Yeah. Yeah.

681
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:04,480
Oh, OK.

682
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,280
Let's start with the voice actor because I forgot to do it last time.

683
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,480
The voice actor for Nishita is Toru Nara.

684
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:16,840
They have done voices for a various number of characters in Black Lagoon.

685
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:20,240
There are 21 episodes, but they're just a bunch of names I don't recognize,

686
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,400
like soldier and triad member.

687
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:28,240
Hmm, OK, that's a older issue in like early 2000s anime.

688
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,800
So maybe that's just him getting started.

689
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:36,120
He's also the voice of T. Hawk in Super Street Fighter or I don't know who that is.

690
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:37,560
I don't know. Me either.

691
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:42,120
He is the voice of Satou in My Hero Academia,

692
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,560
who's the guy who eats sugar and wears yellow.

693
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,160
OK, I watch it in dub.

694
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,320
Oh, and I'm a bus is here.

695
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,680
Name is sorry.

696
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:55,920
Keep going.

697
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,080
He is the voice of current delicious in Dungeon.

698
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:03,040
It's a good shit.

699
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:07,240
I was going to say people have watched it, but like I.

700
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:13,880
I'm so afraid to try new anime like new current anime.

701
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:16,880
Why? Why? You say it's good.

702
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:19,320
I like it a lot. Yeah.

703
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,680
I didn't like free run, though, so I only watch one episode.

704
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:26,360
But what I slow, I don't think you like slow things.

705
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:27,480
Is it lemon?

706
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,120
Cute. Oh, does she miss her?

707
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,920
Sorry. There's a lot of other stuff.

708
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:37,800
It's like not always the voice of Larry Butts in Phoenix Wright.

709
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,120
I've never played those games.

710
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:41,880
Oh, show series.

711
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:45,400
OK. And why don't they have voice acting in the games, right?

712
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,040
I don't know. I haven't played it.

713
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:49,800
Yeah, that's pretty much it.

714
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,160
There's some stuff, but I don't recognize any of it.

715
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,240
So OK, so there we go.

716
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,400
Major major role here.

717
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,560
Stap cast. Oh, yeah.

718
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:02,040
Now I was kind of thinking we run into like a lots of like regular

719
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:03,400
people who do a lot of different stuff.

720
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,040
But so far we haven't. So that's interesting.

721
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,040
I think I see is probably the most prominent voice actor we've had.

722
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:09,160
Yeah.

723
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:11,040
What about Arita?

724
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:12,280
Because he is a good voice actor.

725
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,120
He he was probably one that was awesome.

726
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:15,520
A few things.

727
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:19,360
Uh, he does have a headshot on IMDb, which is a good sign.

728
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,440
Oh, yeah. He was the voice of Reiner.

729
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,000
That's right. OK.

730
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,120
Anyway, nice.

731
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:27,920
You see that we like him here.

732
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:31,320
I'm here. Yes. Yes, they are so good.

733
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,760
I actually bothered to take notes.

734
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,080
It's crazy. We have so much.

735
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:36,360
There's so much to talk about.

736
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,600
Normally, I'm just like, there's nothing to say in this episode.

737
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:40,600
This thing happens. It ends. OK.

738
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,960
Now it's just like there's so much stuff. OK, here we go.

739
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:44,320
OK, here we go.

740
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:48,280
17 is called World Offers No Escape.

741
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:52,560
That's exactly. OK, they are cars.

742
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:54,360
I'm starting to recognize some of them.

743
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,840
They are just Thomas friend, the 100 poem.

744
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,280
So I'm confirmed.

745
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,160
We open on a sports festival at school.

746
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,080
It's like the finals of some track event

747
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:04,640
in which all the clubs that like qualify

748
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,920
have to run a five by 100.

749
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,040
I know what is that?

750
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,280
Which is like a fake event.

751
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,000
But there's five people in the car in a club.

752
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:14,960
So they get to do it.

753
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:16,720
All the clubs are like traditional sports clubs

754
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:18,600
like like soccer or tennis.

755
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,720
One of them is just the track team, which is crazy.

756
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,200
Yeah, that's rigged.

757
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:24,160
Except for Carter.

758
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,920
They have also qualified because they like run in the mornings and stuff.

759
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:31,360
Chihaya is like the opening leg of the race and pulls ahead

760
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,120
because she's good at track.

761
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,320
Yes, she did track like some odd.

762
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:40,000
It's like some of them are so not like

763
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,960
when you know, like they're just going to get in the way

764
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:48,920
and people be dropping batons in a real relay.

765
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:50,520
You're out. That's it.

766
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:54,000
If you don't be baton game over, you can't continue.

767
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,560
They have like, you know, like a soccer ball,

768
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,200
like a basketball. It's crazy.

769
00:33:58,200 --> 00:33:58,560
Yeah.

770
00:33:58,560 --> 00:33:59,680
The credit club is just hard.

771
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,960
So it's actually pretty easy to pass some of these other things.

772
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:04,560
Yes.

773
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,240
Tye, she takes it from Chihaya

774
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,120
and he does a pretty good job running

775
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,240
because I guess he's also pretty good at running.

776
00:34:11,240 --> 00:34:13,920
Then it's kind of who does like OK, but not really.

777
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:15,640
Poor kind of.

778
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,520
Yeah, she does not see.

779
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,160
Well, no, here we because right tight, he's running.

780
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,520
It's like, I want to come to my she was.

781
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:24,600
Good.

782
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,080
That was you.

783
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,960
And then what is right is like a bunch of perverted dudes.

784
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,200
Watch her boop move as she runs.

785
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,200
Yeah, she needs for a car.

786
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,200
No, it's just right with her eyes closed.

787
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:36,720
Keep your eyes open, girl.

788
00:34:36,720 --> 00:34:37,800
That's not safe.

789
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,120
Oh, man, this is Tomu, who does pretty bad.

790
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,400
He's bad running.

791
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,200
But then fortunately, Nishita is the anchor

792
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:45,640
and he's like really good at running

793
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:46,840
because he was a tenancy.

794
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,600
Never stop being an athlete and he gets the same.

795
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,200
Because the track team drops their baton,

796
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,160
which is crazy because they're the track team.

797
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:54,720
It's a.

798
00:34:54,720 --> 00:34:57,080
Yes, they can't even do it.

799
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:58,840
It happens, man.

800
00:34:58,840 --> 00:34:59,760
They suck.

801
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:00,960
We see that on his shirt.

802
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,880
It says they're recruiting new members as the OP plays.

803
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,600
After the OP, we open on Chihaya being sad

804
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:08,280
that no new members wanted to join the club,

805
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,720
even though they won the track competition.

806
00:35:10,720 --> 00:35:12,680
Nishita and Taichi come in and announce

807
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:14,760
a bunch of upcoming tournaments and qualifiers

808
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,200
that they should try to go to.

809
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,560
We learn that the Eastern qualifier

810
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:21,400
to play against the Queen is next January.

811
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,120
So Chihaya is already qualified for that.

812
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,080
If the boys need to qualify,

813
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,320
they need to make class A before then.

814
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,800
It's class A and higher.

815
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,440
What is higher than class A?

816
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,000
I guess it's just King and Queen,

817
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,120
but they're not going to compete in these qualifiers

818
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,200
because they're the like defending champion.

819
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:41,200
That's weird. I don't know.

820
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:42,440
It's confusing.

821
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:43,480
Taichi knows that he and Nishita

822
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,520
are trying to make class A before winning the tournament

823
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,240
and Kana and Satomu should try to win a class D tournament

824
00:35:48,240 --> 00:35:50,160
to make it to class C.

825
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,040
Then Taichi gets a phone call.

826
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,760
He takes it in the hallway and they all hear him say, quote,

827
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,040
OK, fine, let's break up unquote.

828
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:58,840
And then he comes back like nothing happened

829
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:00,560
and the whole club is like astonished.

830
00:36:01,720 --> 00:36:04,440
Yeah, the girl from episode one.

831
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:09,320
We haven't seen her in six, you know, 15 episodes really.

832
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:10,320
It's crazy.

833
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:11,320
We haven't seen her in so long.

834
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,080
She has like, oh, my God, it was that girl in episode one.

835
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:15,720
Yeah.

836
00:36:15,720 --> 00:36:18,920
So he has been dating her this entire time, which is insane.

837
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:22,000
Insane. Surely he's not seen her since.

838
00:36:22,240 --> 00:36:24,240
He's so busy.

839
00:36:24,240 --> 00:36:26,560
Oh, my God. I'm surprised it took so long.

840
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:28,760
At all.

841
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:30,680
No, he's been for half the huts,

842
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,080
but she had the whole time.

843
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,120
Why was it even Dain's girl in the first place?

844
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:35,360
I don't know.

845
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,040
It was like, what's he day her?

846
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:42,120
Is he like what did he like just day her to fool around

847
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:46,960
or just to like get his mind off to hire or just because she asked?

848
00:36:47,720 --> 00:36:49,160
Dude, I don't know.

849
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:52,080
He was just bored and he was just like, I want to go on dates.

850
00:36:52,720 --> 00:36:55,360
I guess I don't have to be so serious.

851
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,640
They're in fricking elementary slash.

852
00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:59,160
Well, they're in high school.

853
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,840
It's not even going on dates, so no point.

854
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,800
Oh, he comes back like nothing.

855
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:08,520
Oh, yeah, he answers no questions and instead thinks about if Arata

856
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:10,760
has made it to the Western qualifiers or not.

857
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,960
Me breaking up with my girlfriend and it's really going is my rival

858
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:16,520
going to be at this tournament.

859
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:18,360
Am I going to see my rival?

860
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,240
Well, no, it won't be the same tournament

861
00:37:20,240 --> 00:37:22,600
because it's like different region qualifiers.

862
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,360
So like he's just wondering if he can beat.

863
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:27,920
Yeah. Yeah.

864
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,040
Yeah. You got to get the class A first, dude.

865
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,840
Yeah, they practice and we learn that Tai Chi needs to make it to class A

866
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:38,040
before October so he can go to the Eastern qualifier with Chiaya.

867
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,640
So he has an even shorter timeline to make it.

868
00:37:40,720 --> 00:37:43,640
It must be like August.

869
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:45,960
Because they talk about September as a thing coming up.

870
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:47,680
So they must be in August.

871
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:48,600
Yeah, I don't know.

872
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:50,520
Yeah, so not a lot of time.

873
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,720
They take a break in Satoma, thanks to himself that despite how much

874
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:56,920
like running he does in the mornings and training,

875
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,840
he hasn't been able to put on any muscle or get any more athletic.

876
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:02,880
And I'm telling you, dude, it's because you're not eating right.

877
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,120
You need to eat more protein.

878
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:07,920
I don't think he is.

879
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:08,800
I'm going to be honest.

880
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:10,840
No rice. So how you do it, man?

881
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:12,600
You look crazy.

882
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,080
Cotton calls him just Tomu, too.

883
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:16,360
Yeah, I don't know how nice she is.

884
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:19,440
You would think she wouldn't use that nickname.

885
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:21,400
And nicknames.

886
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:22,840
I feel like she doesn't call.

887
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:26,600
I feel like she doesn't call the sheet of porky.

888
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:28,720
So why is it just him that she's calling that?

889
00:38:28,720 --> 00:38:29,720
I don't know.

890
00:38:29,720 --> 00:38:31,160
She hates him.

891
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:32,160
She hates him.

892
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:36,040
Although she does say that T'ai Chi is the only person who calls him by his name.

893
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:37,760
OK, so maybe she does.

894
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:42,360
I just don't pay attention when she talks to him that much.

895
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:44,360
Be better. Yeah.

896
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:48,240
Well, we get to the end of this and we learn that it's not going to get better.

897
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,720
They take a little he can't put on muscle.

898
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:56,040
Chi Hai comes over to Kana and tries to help her fix her posture.

899
00:38:56,040 --> 00:39:00,040
Then Satomu talks to Kana and we learn that she thinks of Kata more as an art

900
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,840
than a sport because men and women can compete against each other,

901
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,160
which is an interesting.

902
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:08,680
Well, it's nice because like paintball is like that.

903
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,160
There's no gendered division,

904
00:39:12,240 --> 00:39:15,160
because technically anyone could be good at it.

905
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:18,480
Like you don't necessarily have an advantage.

906
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,280
That's not overcome.

907
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:22,520
That's true.

908
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,120
Yeah.

909
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:25,440
I don't know why that makes it an art, though.

910
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:27,480
I feel like sports can just be like no.

911
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:31,440
Well, that's just kind of art for the PS.

912
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:35,000
Yeah. Satomu listens to this and vows to keep trying.

913
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,160
Chi Hai and Tai Chi go home

914
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:40,800
while doing an exercise that each time Tai Chi claps, Chi Hai has to like practice

915
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,040
swiping a card on the train.

916
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:46,320
Tai Chi tells Chi Hai that he's going to go to a tournament in Kanazawa.

917
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:47,920
And she's like, oh, yeah, that's great.

918
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:48,680
I want to go to.

919
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,040
But then she's like, oh, wait, isn't that super far away?

920
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:52,200
How much is that going to cost?

921
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:55,640
And Tai Chi says it's going to cost like an $80 for a ticket there.

922
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:59,280
And then the registration fee for the tournament is $200.

923
00:39:59,920 --> 00:40:01,960
So only Tai Chi can afford it.

924
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:03,520
Carter is expensive.

925
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:06,320
I mean, I guess it's not like super expensive.

926
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:07,520
That's kind of expensive.

927
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:08,880
I guess it's a qualifier.

928
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,480
Chi Hai thinks about how Kazahaya is so close.

929
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:13,360
No, not Kazahaya.

930
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,240
I don't know. I said that Kanazawa, the place where he's going.

931
00:40:16,240 --> 00:40:18,680
He's close to Fukui, where Arata lives.

932
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:22,520
And then falls asleep on Tai Chi's shoulder.

933
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:23,960
Just what?

934
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:25,280
What is Kazahaya?

935
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:29,920
Because he is from Hoshido, right?

936
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:35,160
Or so he would be like in the same region as Arata.

937
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:37,960
So he could he could be there.

938
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:39,480
God, they could be friends.

939
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,360
They could both be sad boys.

940
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,400
They could both be terrible with women.

941
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:50,680
And so I love it when I love it when I think about

942
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,760
the guy who's far away from me and then I rest my head on the guy

943
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:55,560
who's right next to me.

944
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:57,640
She's tormenting him.

945
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:00,080
He's doing it on purpose.

946
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,080
It's no.

947
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:05,760
It's so awful.

948
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,040
Yeah. Tai Chi, now recently single,

949
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:09,600
looks over at a sleeping Chi Hai.

950
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,440
As the music matters.

951
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:17,400
And we see his hand move a little closer to her.

952
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:19,720
But then he claps to get her to swipe.

953
00:41:19,720 --> 00:41:21,480
And it's pretty funny. That's a good bit.

954
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:23,200
Get her ass, Tai Chi.

955
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,520
We get a voiceover where Tai Chi tells us that he feels bad for

956
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:27,880
sneakily going to tournaments without the rest of the team,

957
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,880
just so he can be at the same level as Chi Hai.

958
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:34,480
Before parting with Chi Hai, he tells her that he's going to make class A.

959
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,560
We cut to the Kanazawa tournament where Tai Chi is there.

960
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,640
They start the first round only for Tai Chi to notice that Nishida is

961
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:42,760
like right behind him.

962
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,800
It's so good friend of the card of society.

963
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:47,840
And also we learn that retro is there.

964
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,080
So, you know, despite the expense, everyone's here.

965
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:52,520
Whatever.

966
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,000
Yeah, it's funny because then they're like they start yelling

967
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:57,400
and then they get scolded.

968
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:01,320
So then they're just like talking under their breath at each other.

969
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:07,080
And Nishida is always complaining about how rich Tai Chi is.

970
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:11,600
Like he did not take a plane to get there. No, he did.

971
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,000
Tai Chi flew there.

972
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,200
Yes, crazy.

973
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,560
I thought I was so expensive to get there.

974
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:22,720
Yeah, Tai Chi plays his best physically slower than his opponent.

975
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:25,440
Sorry, you're going to say something else?

976
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:28,400
Oh, I was just going to say with all that New Year's money,

977
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:30,640
he is like a drop in the bucket.

978
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,240
Nothing. Tai Chi.

979
00:42:33,240 --> 00:42:36,120
He kind of paid for Chi Hai.

980
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:38,160
Yeah.

981
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:40,200
Tai Chi plays and he's physically slower than his opponent.

982
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:43,680
Elsewhere, Chi Hai plays against Hiroshi at the card to society.

983
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:45,920
She's gotten faster, but also faults a lot.

984
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,080
And Dr. Harada is not impressed.

985
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:51,320
She loses to Hiroshi and he tells her that she might be fast,

986
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,160
but he doesn't or she doesn't scare him.

987
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:55,040
And she's like, that's weird.

988
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:57,800
Dr. Harada tells her to stop taking cards with speed.

989
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,360
He's like, you need to you need to focus on something else.

990
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:01,640
We cut back to school.

991
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:05,480
Chi Hai has to list some career choices and she writes queen in the top box.

992
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:09,600
And her teacher is like, try again at the card to club.

993
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:13,240
Chi Hai is feeling down and so and so are Nishida and Tai Chi,

994
00:43:13,240 --> 00:43:14,800
who both lost their tournament.

995
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:16,600
They're like, damn, make a class A.

996
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:17,520
Sure is tough.

997
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:20,800
Nishida tries to challenge Chi Hai, but she's still confused as to why

998
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:21,120
Dr.

999
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:23,720
Harada said that she should stop taking cards with speed.

1000
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,040
We get the rest of the flashback where like he finishes his thought

1001
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:30,200
and he tells he tries to point out that even if she can take one

1002
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:33,240
syllable cards quickly, that's not enough to like win because it's only like

1003
00:43:33,240 --> 00:43:35,440
wide, like 10 cards or something.

1004
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:39,400
Um, so she needs to stop concentrating on only on speed and start

1005
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,440
like coming up with a strategy for something else.

1006
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:48,000
Nishida knows that without speed, she has no other strategies or like advantages.

1007
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:51,880
Nishida spent in facts.

1008
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:55,320
Chi Hai is at a loss.

1009
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,680
So Sato Mu challenges Chi Hai to a match.

1010
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:00,760
They play their match and Chi Hai wins by 15 cards.

1011
00:44:01,240 --> 00:44:04,640
We see him writing in a notebook because he's calculated the distribution

1012
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:08,040
across all of the games he's played with Chi Hai on which zones he's

1013
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:09,280
able to take cards from her.

1014
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:13,640
Chi Hai is dominant with her right hand, with her right hand side

1015
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:15,760
diagonal, but weak on her left diagonal.

1016
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,640
So Tomo notes that his strategy against her would be to reposition

1017
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:21,880
all of his cards off of her strong diagonal and into her weak one.

1018
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:26,080
And that like better opponents she plays are probably going to do that.

1019
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:27,920
So she should be prepared for that.

1020
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:31,160
Kana also notes that Chi Hai a faults a lot on multi-syllable cards.

1021
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:33,080
And Chi Hai is like, yeah, but that's normal.

1022
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:36,760
But then Kana notes that some of the poems are written like hundreds of years

1023
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:39,200
apart and basically have nothing to do with each other.

1024
00:44:40,720 --> 00:44:44,760
Even they even like mean different things like contextually.

1025
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:48,520
She tries to relate to what I was going to say.

1026
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:51,760
Well, she's like, basically, this is her being like, what?

1027
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:52,760
They're nothing alike.

1028
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:55,680
How could you, you know, like there's so much history

1029
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:58,120
and that's how you should be identifying them stuff.

1030
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,840
Yeah. I like that they're sitting on Chi Hai.

1031
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:05,440
Like, OK, now that we're talking about it, let me let me time in with what I think

1032
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:08,720
you're doing wrong. Yeah. So good.

1033
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:14,160
Kana tries to relate to of the cards as like images so that Chi Hai can picture

1034
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:16,520
them as different colors because she pictures some of them as a red.

1035
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:18,960
So she's like, oh, like you could think of this one as like green.

1036
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:23,680
Chi Hai realizes that card is not just about speed, but also about strategy.

1037
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:26,120
You can use strategy in this game.

1038
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:30,120
We cut to after school where her teacher, who's named Mia Uchi,

1039
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:32,280
sees Chi Hai in the library.

1040
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:35,960
She's surprised that she would read and goes to tell her to fill in her career

1041
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:39,320
survey. She sees that Chi Hai is reading a book about the interpretations

1042
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:41,600
of the poems and cards as we cut to credits.

1043
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:44,720
OK, one.

1044
00:45:44,720 --> 00:45:47,040
This is this is their advisor, the teacher.

1045
00:45:48,240 --> 00:45:54,320
Spring and smacked Chi Hai earlier, reporter hit her with a book.

1046
00:45:54,320 --> 00:46:02,080
Well, so it's like to hire you've been like obsessed with card for years and like

1047
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:06,440
what you've just been doing the exact same thing and not actually developing

1048
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:10,840
anything else than speed on like only certain cards.

1049
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:14,760
Like it's wild that she's only just now researching about this thing

1050
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:17,680
that she's supposedly all consumed by.

1051
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:21,800
You know, I would think she'd be like looking into everything.

1052
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:25,000
Oh, yes, sorry. I played an online video game.

1053
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:29,040
Chi Hai is doing is playing a bunch of overwatch

1054
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:30,960
where she doesn't learn any other strategies.

1055
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:34,000
Just the same thing forever and being like, how come I can't ladder climb?

1056
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:35,880
She's going to collapse.

1057
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:38,200
That's what she's whatever that means.

1058
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:42,920
I feel like it's a normal thing to just be like, oh, I'm just like,

1059
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:44,840
I thought you just get faster and get better.

1060
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:49,560
But no, it turns out you like I can see like wanting to double down

1061
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:53,480
on what your strength is, but like that doesn't mean you have to like

1062
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:55,600
neglect any other advantages.

1063
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:57,680
Well, she has.

1064
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:01,840
Yeah. Well, yeah, somehow she made it class A.

1065
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:06,000
Now I'm like, how the hell does she suck it up every time we see her playing?

1066
00:47:06,720 --> 00:47:10,080
Well, I think I mean, this is the thing with like what Hiroshi is saying, right?

1067
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:12,880
He's like, you're fast, but you don't scare me, which makes me think that

1068
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:16,320
like she really just got into everybody else's head with how fast she was.

1069
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:18,720
Like she's probably just psyching them out.

1070
00:47:18,720 --> 00:47:21,920
Yeah. But like Hiroshi is like a high level.

1071
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:24,840
He's just like, whatever. Yeah, you're really fast, but like only sometimes.

1072
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:25,920
And you also mess up a lot.

1073
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:27,440
So it's really not that hard.

1074
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:29,640
Not that much of a threat, honestly.

1075
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:33,880
And she's really aggressive because like they all play kind of like offensive

1076
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:37,720
card, right? Well, like everyone probably thinks she's easy in the beginning

1077
00:47:37,720 --> 00:47:40,640
because she's only good in the later half of the matches, too.

1078
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:43,680
So like, I wonder if she's like

1079
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:48,600
trying as hard the whole time or if she's like conserving strength until then.

1080
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:52,040
And then like her opponent is more tired and then she like

1081
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:54,680
plus out the fast moves.

1082
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:57,480
I don't think that sounds like too much strategy for her.

1083
00:47:57,480 --> 00:47:59,480
Yeah, that's true. That's true.

1084
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:03,560
I think she's more stamina from doing tracks or she could just be better for longer.

1085
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:08,200
Well, it's high tea in this episode is like, oh, wow, she's really thinking

1086
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:11,320
about what Dr. Hirata said to where he could normally like

1087
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:13,440
under 10 seconds is all it takes for her to like

1088
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:16,440
give up on a math question or something.

1089
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:18,840
And she's learning how to study.

1090
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:22,320
She's this. How many other books do you think we she's right up to this point?

1091
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:25,320
This is like number five.

1092
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:30,520
Like not since she was a child reading children's books, maybe.

1093
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:31,680
Yeah.

1094
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:34,320
Yeah, I don't I don't know.

1095
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:35,840
Not many.

1096
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:38,040
She's a dud this one.

1097
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:40,040
But let's see how it's done me.

1098
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:42,040
In verse 18.

1099
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:43,040
Or do you want to go to the next one?

1100
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:44,040
Do you have anything else to say?

1101
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:45,520
Let's go.

1102
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:49,040
Verse 18 is the plum blossoms still smell the same.

1103
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:52,520
We open on the card team at another individual tournament.

1104
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:56,040
They're getting their Haka was fitted as she thinks about how this is going to be

1105
00:48:56,040 --> 00:49:00,040
their her her first official class A tournament and she's nervous.

1106
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:02,040
I had like weird hiccups there for a second.

1107
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:04,040
What's happening?

1108
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:07,040
I'm like, what's happening?

1109
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:09,040
Well, right?

1110
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:13,040
To see like the first tournament we see her in when she's still trying to get

1111
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:17,040
tied to you to join is her getting into class A and then everything is just

1112
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:19,040
being in high school tournament.

1113
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:22,040
So this is the first like outside school class A.

1114
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:25,040
So this is like for real because like a lot of others.

1115
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:28,040
I think a lot of high schoolers aren't class A.

1116
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:31,040
So there wasn't as many people on that level to compete against.

1117
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:33,040
But yeah, let's go.

1118
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:36,040
Yeah, they're all hyped to try to class up.

1119
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:40,040
She has first matches against an older lady wearing a pink outfit.

1120
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:41,040
Her name is Conn I.

1121
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:44,040
She has a she's cute and she's like, yeah, I know.

1122
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:46,040
It's just pretty funny.

1123
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:47,040
Yes.

1124
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:52,040
She thinks about how she needs to not move too fast as the match starts.

1125
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:55,040
Match starts as she takes a card by moving too fast.

1126
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:57,040
Conn I is like, wow, you young kids sure are fast.

1127
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:58,040
I just can't keep up.

1128
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:01,040
But then she high a faults and Conn I is like, yep, there it is.

1129
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:04,040
Young people react too quick and constantly make mistakes.

1130
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:06,040
Okay.

1131
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:11,040
I feel like it's annoying that she keeps bringing up her age.

1132
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:15,040
But also I feel like I talk like that.

1133
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:17,040
Like I feel like I talk the same way probably.

1134
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:22,040
I'm like, come on, girl, how's something else other than AIDS to talk about?

1135
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:26,040
I feel like if I was playing a 16 year old every comment I would be like,

1136
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:27,040
wow, 16.

1137
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:29,040
Yes.

1138
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:32,040
Yes, that I know.

1139
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:35,040
It's like I went on a date with someone like four years younger than me.

1140
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:37,040
I was talking to them like they were child.

1141
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:39,040
So I definitely am.

1142
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:45,040
I was like, oh, wow, you play the game cube.

1143
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:46,040
Oh man.

1144
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:47,040
That's yeah.

1145
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:48,040
Wow.

1146
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:49,040
Oh my God.

1147
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:50,040
Was that it?

1148
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:52,040
That was it.

1149
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:54,040
I felt I felt like I was going to be like,

1150
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:57,040
that was it.

1151
00:50:57,040 --> 00:50:59,040
I felt like I can't do this.

1152
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:00,040
Anyways.

1153
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:01,040
Yeah.

1154
00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:04,040
Play continues and every time can I take the card she says lucky,

1155
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:05,040
which is super annoying.

1156
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:06,040
Oh my God.

1157
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:08,040
It's so annoying.

1158
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:10,040
Shut up.

1159
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:13,040
I can't believe just sat through that.

1160
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:16,040
I would have been like, can you shut the hell up please?

1161
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:22,040
The tactic I guess be annoying is to distract them.

1162
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:25,040
I can't believe trash talking hasn't been brought up yet.

1163
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:28,040
Conn I taunts are saying that she's lucky.

1164
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:30,040
Her opponent only has speed.

1165
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:32,040
So like, I guess.

1166
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:35,040
No, it's seed being thrown.

1167
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:37,040
Insane.

1168
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:39,040
This lady is something else.

1169
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:41,040
Yeah, it's a lot.

1170
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:43,040
They get set dead cards in a row, which is, you know,

1171
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:45,040
they read out a card that isn't in play,

1172
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:49,040
which makes she high a very antsy and she swipes out a card.

1173
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:53,040
And the next read, but it's a seventh dead card.

1174
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:54,040
That's crazy.

1175
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:58,040
The Chi Hai Fu card, which like messes with her.

1176
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:00,040
She's so easy to read.

1177
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:01,040
What?

1178
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:02,040
She's so easy to read.

1179
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:05,040
That one she's just met already knows what's up with the card.

1180
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:08,040
This is the first time when like all those times before that

1181
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:12,040
tight, she's like, she hire you're too easy to read actually has consequences.

1182
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:15,040
Because before she just keeps saying that and it doesn't matter.

1183
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:18,040
But yeah, she's just going to send you your best card because

1184
00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:20,040
obviously you're going to be good at one syllable cards.

1185
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:21,040
So here you go.

1186
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:23,040
Mm hmm.

1187
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:24,040
Chi Hai keeps screwing up.

1188
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:27,040
Conn I comments that the game isn't fun because it feels like

1189
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:30,040
Chi Hai is playing against the cards and not her.

1190
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:32,040
Which is like kind of a nice thing to say.

1191
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:34,040
Chi Hai realizes that Conn I has intentionally been sending her

1192
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:37,040
the single syllable cards since those are the ones she hi is her

1193
00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:40,040
best at making it hard for her to like take from her opponent.

1194
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:43,040
Because Conn I is using strategy and she hi.

1195
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:45,040
Yeah.

1196
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:46,040
Yeah.

1197
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:49,040
Well, she already like right with that first card, she's like

1198
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:52,040
scolding herself immediately like, come on, I just told myself

1199
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:56,040
I was going to not take cards of speed and then immediately does

1200
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:59,040
so and she makes a lot of goofy faces.

1201
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:01,040
These episodes are good.

1202
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:02,040
Yeah, it's pretty.

1203
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:05,040
It's like a South Park character when she stood up and picked up

1204
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:07,040
that first card.

1205
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:10,040
So good.

1206
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:12,040
Chi Hai tries to come up with a strategy.

1207
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:15,040
She decides to sit back from the line so it takes her longer to

1208
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:17,040
tap cards to correct for her reflexes.

1209
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:21,040
So she has like more distance to travel.

1210
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:23,040
It's just enough space for it to work.

1211
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:26,040
Conn I notices this and starts positioning her cards to mess with

1212
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:27,040
Chi Hai.

1213
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:30,040
So she's like moving them around into the quadrants she's bad at.

1214
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:33,040
Chi Hai realizes that she's waited too long to get a read on

1215
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:37,040
her opponent and basically doesn't really know how Conn I plays.

1216
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:40,040
They tie on a card as both of them use the same three syllable

1217
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:42,040
timing strategy.

1218
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:44,040
So she's finally not just rushing to take cards.

1219
00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:47,040
She's finally using like the proper syllable timing.

1220
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:50,040
She realized that she's her mind is blown.

1221
00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:53,040
Yeah, she realized that there's more to Carter than just speed,

1222
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:56,040
which is like, dude, Dr. Harada told you that yesterday.

1223
00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:58,040
Very funny.

1224
00:53:58,040 --> 00:54:00,040
Chi Hai loses by six cards.

1225
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:03,040
Afterward, she sees Conn I and her family, both her and her

1226
00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:05,040
daughters are all dressed the same.

1227
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:08,040
Chi Hai thanks her for the match and says that her dream is to

1228
00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:10,040
become queen and Conn I was like, oh, cool.

1229
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:11,040
So is mine.

1230
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:13,040
She's like, I've been playing for 35 years, but I still think I

1231
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:16,040
could do it even against more youthful players.

1232
00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:19,040
And then she tells Chi Hai, I see you at the Eastern qualifiers

1233
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:21,040
and then leaves.

1234
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:23,040
That was nice, I guess.

1235
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:25,040
Well, where is she going?

1236
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:27,040
How much time do you have?

1237
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:29,040
No, she won the match.

1238
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:31,040
Where is she going?

1239
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:32,040
I don't know.

1240
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:34,040
Maybe it was like a half.

1241
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:37,040
I have a 30.

1242
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:41,040
No, it can't be because we got we cut to more rounds next episode,

1243
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:44,040
but I mean, round two or something.

1244
00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:46,040
Maybe.

1245
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:48,040
Yeah, which I didn't even think about.

1246
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:49,040
Yeah.

1247
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:52,040
Imagine you just like, well, like destroyed a 16 year old.

1248
00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:54,040
I'm out.

1249
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:57,040
Yeah.

1250
00:54:57,040 --> 00:55:01,040
Yeah, maybe she doesn't counter high schoolers in class A

1251
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:03,040
tournaments very much.

1252
00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:05,040
Probably not.

1253
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:06,040
No.

1254
00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:10,040
So this one is much more is more card base, but at least it

1255
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:13,040
was like she has the dawning on her.

1256
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:14,040
Outright.

1257
00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:15,040
Sorry.

1258
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:19,040
Continue the worst moment of her life.

1259
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:22,040
We coming up in class B.

1260
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:25,040
It's Tai Chi versus Nishida and in class D.

1261
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:27,040
It's kind of versus Satomu.

1262
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:28,040
She has like, well, shit.

1263
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:30,040
Who am I supposed to cheer for?

1264
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:32,040
One of my life.

1265
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:33,040
Yeah.

1266
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:35,040
Is there watching?

1267
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:38,040
Whoever wins the class B game will class up for the Eastern

1268
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:41,040
qualifier. So the pressure is on.

1269
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:43,040
Satomu thinks about Kana as a player.

1270
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:46,040
She's a defensive player who rarely faults.

1271
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:47,040
Play starts.

1272
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:50,040
Chi Hai is unable to watch both games at once and decides to

1273
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:53,040
watch Kana versus Satomu after she realizes that Kana's

1274
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:56,040
posture is different when she's wearing a Hakama because it has

1275
00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:58,040
a sash that can support your lower back.

1276
00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:00,040
I guess it's like a OB.

1277
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:04,040
Well, also she's like, I'm wearing, well, she's the

1278
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:08,040
Hakama, the Kimono chick. So she's like more conscious of her

1279
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:12,040
posture while she's wearing that stuff because that, you know,

1280
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:14,040
it's all about posture.

1281
00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:15,040
As you'll see.

1282
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:18,040
Kana is very elegant wearing a Hakama since you have to have

1283
00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:20,040
perfect posture while wearing it.

1284
00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:21,040
It also helps her play too.

1285
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:23,040
So she can like lean forward in that position she couldn't do

1286
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:25,040
without it.

1287
00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:27,040
Kana's mom notes that a girl like Chi Hai is beautiful in

1288
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:30,040
anything, but a girl like Kana is only especially pretty

1289
00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:33,040
while wearing a Kimono and is very proud.

1290
00:56:33,040 --> 00:56:39,040
She basically says Kana is not beautiful, but she knows how

1291
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:40,040
to wear.

1292
00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:41,040
I'm like, damn.

1293
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:43,040
I get what she's saying.

1294
00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:44,040
Not pretty.

1295
00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:46,040
That's not what she's saying.

1296
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:50,040
She's saying, but like she says, she literally says like Kana

1297
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:55,040
may not be beautiful, but so she says she's not beautiful.

1298
00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:57,040
She said it.

1299
00:56:57,040 --> 00:56:58,040
Okay. All right.

1300
00:56:58,040 --> 00:56:59,040
Oh my God.

1301
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:02,040
This is a perfectly fine sentiment.

1302
00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:03,040
Oh God.

1303
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:05,040
What did you say?

1304
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:08,040
Like Kana, you know, her terms really come out when she's

1305
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:13,040
wearing a Kana rather than saying not beautiful, whatever.

1306
00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:16,040
It's not like she's saying this to her.

1307
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:18,040
She's terrible.

1308
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:19,040
Oh my God.

1309
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:20,040
I don't know.

1310
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:25,040
My mom always tells me, I thought maybe not all parents are

1311
00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:28,040
delusional like my mom saying things like, oh, I don't have

1312
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:31,040
favorites and stuff when it's like, you totally do.

1313
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:34,040
You just can't admit it even to yourself.

1314
00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:35,040
You have favorites.

1315
00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:36,040
You have favorites.

1316
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:37,040
Okay.

1317
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:38,040
Okay.

1318
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:39,040
Yeah.

1319
00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:40,040
Okay.

1320
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:41,040
Anyways.

1321
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:44,040
So Tomu notices that she's also better while wearing a

1322
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:45,040
Hakama.

1323
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:48,040
He also knows which cards he's better at taking at or taking

1324
00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:51,040
than her because she doesn't think about the cards in terms

1325
00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:54,040
of syllables, but in terms of the actual poems, so she'll like

1326
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:58,040
be drawn to look at cards that are related to the poems, not

1327
00:57:58,040 --> 00:58:00,040
the actual words on the card.

1328
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:01,040
And he like knows this.

1329
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:04,040
He's like, oh yeah, she looks at that one because like that

1330
00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:06,040
one is written by like a relative of the person who wrote

1331
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:07,040
that one.

1332
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:08,040
He's like, got it.

1333
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:12,040
This is like an advantage for him because he knows her, but

1334
00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:16,040
like this would be a, I feel like something other players would

1335
00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:20,040
be thrown off by going to Kana.

1336
00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:23,040
Like, oh yeah, she probably won't be expecting it.

1337
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:24,040
Yeah.

1338
00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:25,040
Let's see.

1339
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:29,040
However, since Tomu falls and Kana is able to give him one of

1340
00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:32,040
her better cards, which she then takes, she high decides to

1341
00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:35,040
keep watching them as we cut to credits.

1342
00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:36,040
Yeah.

1343
00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:37,040
Poor Tai Chi man.

1344
00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:39,040
He'll never have Chi Hai as attention.

1345
00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:42,040
No, even when he's in the platform.

1346
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:43,040
It's crazy.

1347
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:45,040
She just doesn't care.

1348
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:47,040
Oh, it's brutal.

1349
00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:49,040
It's so crazy.

1350
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:51,040
This is the better game to watch.

1351
00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:52,040
It seems like.

1352
00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:53,040
Yeah.

1353
00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:55,040
Well, that's because we don't get to see the other one at all.

1354
00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:57,040
So we don't know.

1355
00:58:57,040 --> 00:59:01,040
I want to cut up an interesting, which we'll never know.

1356
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:02,040
Yeah.

1357
00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:03,040
Okay.

1358
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:05,040
Do you want to know the next episode?

1359
00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:08,040
Yes, I did have one last thing.

1360
00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:12,040
Even Kana's mom calls the Tomu desk Tomu.

1361
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:14,040
I just want to point that out.

1362
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:15,040
They're so mean to him.

1363
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:18,040
And like by the end of this next episode, he's the best

1364
00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:20,040
character in the show.

1365
00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:24,040
Oh, no, Joe is because we got square glasses like you.

1366
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:26,040
No, you relate to him.

1367
00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:27,040
Okay.

1368
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:30,040
Because like the way he plays the game, like he, when he plays,

1369
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:34,040
he thinks about stuff in like terms I can understand as like an

1370
00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:35,040
audience member.

1371
00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:38,040
And it's the most entertaining the games have ever been when he's

1372
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:40,040
like, we're in his mind.

1373
00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:42,040
Like we're in Tai Chi's mind.

1374
00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:44,040
It's like, he's just saying shit.

1375
00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:45,040
I don't know.

1376
00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:47,040
It's so hard to follow because he's like, okay, this one's been

1377
00:59:47,040 --> 00:59:48,040
read and this one's been read.

1378
00:59:48,040 --> 00:59:50,040
And those two share syllables and this one over here.

1379
00:59:50,040 --> 00:59:52,040
And here's all the dead cards.

1380
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:53,040
It's not fun to watch.

1381
00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:55,040
And when she Haya plays, it's just like she's doing whatever.

1382
00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:59,040
Cause this is like the first time we're seeing like dust tomo where

1383
00:59:59,040 --> 01:00:01,040
we're hearing his inner dialogue really.

1384
01:00:01,040 --> 01:00:03,040
And it's like against people he knows.

1385
01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:07,040
So he has a lot to say about his opponent and like their strategy

1386
01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:08,040
and his strategy.

1387
01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:10,040
So this is like a good situation.

1388
01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:11,040
Yeah.

1389
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:12,040
Yeah.

1390
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:14,040
This next episode, very good.

1391
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:15,040
Yeah.

1392
01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:16,040
This next episode is very good.

1393
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:19,040
So verse 19 is called as the years pass.

1394
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:21,040
We open on the games going on.

1395
01:00:21,040 --> 01:00:24,040
Tai Chi Nishita are locked in, but Tai Chi no longer has a

1396
01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:27,040
lock in, but Tai Chi notices that she Haya isn't even watching

1397
01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:28,040
them.

1398
01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:30,040
She's watching the class D game.

1399
01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:32,040
That Satomu faults a lot and Kana doesn't.

1400
01:00:32,040 --> 01:00:35,040
This is a problem because faulting is actually like really bad.

1401
01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:38,040
So it's not only do they gain a card, but it also screws up your

1402
01:00:38,040 --> 01:00:39,040
like momentum.

1403
01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:41,040
They like mess up.

1404
01:00:41,040 --> 01:00:44,040
Satomu takes a card against Kana, but accidentally sends her a

1405
01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:47,040
one syllable card, which will be super easy for her to take

1406
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:51,040
because Satomu's main problem is that when he's losing, he spirals

1407
01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:53,040
and makes a lot of like stupid mistakes.

1408
01:00:53,040 --> 01:00:56,040
So he like has a loses his core.

1409
01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:57,040
Yeah.

1410
01:00:57,040 --> 01:00:58,040
Yeah.

1411
01:00:58,040 --> 01:00:59,040
Yeah.

1412
01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:00,040
He like death spirals.

1413
01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:02,040
Satomu is currently losing two to 10 with 12 cards left.

1414
01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:05,040
He thinks he might be toast, but then looks over at Tai Chi Nishita

1415
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:07,040
playing and decides to keep on trying to the end.

1416
01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:11,040
He repositions all 10 of his cards to be on his left side.

1417
01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:14,040
He notes that his cards have a higher probability of being

1418
01:01:14,040 --> 01:01:15,040
read.

1419
01:01:15,040 --> 01:01:17,040
So his strategy is just to hit all of his cards every single

1420
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:19,040
time because he's a champion.

1421
01:01:19,040 --> 01:01:22,040
This is so funny.

1422
01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:25,040
Everyone watching hates him now.

1423
01:01:25,040 --> 01:01:28,040
It's so good.

1424
01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:32,040
I mean, it is frustrating, but it isn't the rules.

1425
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:36,040
So, um, yeah, I'll leave in the rules.

1426
01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:39,040
I've been like, it would be so frustrating as the opponent.

1427
01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:42,040
Like everybody disapproves, but I bet Dr.

1428
01:01:42,040 --> 01:01:43,040
Harada would approve.

1429
01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:45,040
I bet he would be like, you absolutely should.

1430
01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:47,040
Whatever it takes.

1431
01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:48,040
Yeah.

1432
01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:49,040
Yeah.

1433
01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:51,040
This is exactly what you should be doing.

1434
01:01:51,040 --> 01:01:52,040
Yeah.

1435
01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:56,040
He gets the next two cards using that strategy and Kana is like

1436
01:01:56,040 --> 01:01:57,040
fine.

1437
01:01:57,040 --> 01:01:59,040
I'll just like all of his cards are just there too.

1438
01:01:59,040 --> 01:02:01,040
So I'll just hit all of them as well.

1439
01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:04,040
But then the one syllable card he sent to her gets read and she

1440
01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:06,040
is so focused on his cards that he's able to take it to her

1441
01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:09,040
or take it from her, making it two to seven.

1442
01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:11,040
So he's like recovered a little bit.

1443
01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:13,040
Kana decides that she just needs to be super accurate.

1444
01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:15,040
She misses the next one, but is able to take the Chi-HAi Fu

1445
01:02:15,040 --> 01:02:20,040
card on his side, making it six to one or one to six.

1446
01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:26,760
one card left. Yeah, I like that they just describe as like, this is like one of my friends

1447
01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:31,600
best cards. So now it's becoming my best card because I'm like a friend and pay attention

1448
01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:38,080
to my friends. She got the good that gives her an advantage. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. I

1449
01:02:38,080 --> 01:02:42,720
don't know if they really hang out all that often. So Tomu takes two more of his cards,

1450
01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:47,280
but then Connors card is read and she takes it winning the match. So Tomu congratulates

1451
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:52,480
her on winning as she cries. She hi is touched by the moment and also cries. But then she

1452
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:58,240
looks over at Titus and she does game and sees it going on. And not only is it going

1453
01:02:58,240 --> 01:03:05,120
on, it's going down. She sees that they are tied one to one, which means it's basically

1454
01:03:05,120 --> 01:03:08,880
up to the luck to like luck of whose card is read next because like it's going to be

1455
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:12,640
impossible to take the card because it's been the level lower right hand corner. So

1456
01:03:12,640 --> 01:03:16,880
it's like right next to their hand and you just can't reach across. Well, they probably

1457
01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:24,360
both moved it to be so this is close to their dominant hand. But yeah. Yes. Oh, what a crappy

1458
01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:29,440
situation. Retro notes that this sucks.

1459
01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:34,160
Tai Chi assesses the situation with his good memory. There's eight unread cards, six of

1460
01:03:34,160 --> 01:03:38,480
which are dead. His card is a one syllable card. So if that's what is read, he could

1461
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:42,560
just take it while Nishida has a card that shares a first syllable with two other dead

1462
01:03:42,560 --> 01:03:48,880
cards that haven't been read yet, which means he has a chance. He decides to go on the attack.

1463
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:52,680
He swipes it. Nishida's cards instead of protecting his own, which surprises everyone.

1464
01:03:52,680 --> 01:03:55,920
Nishida tries to figure out why Tai Chi would do that and realizes that there must be some

1465
01:03:55,920 --> 01:04:00,520
dead cards with the same first syllable as his. But he hasn't memorized all of them.

1466
01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:05,400
So he's just like, well, I guess I'll just have to keep protecting it. I guess it's

1467
01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:13,960
because it's inhuman to remember all the cards that haven't been read. Three more dead cards

1468
01:04:13,960 --> 01:04:17,560
are read. Then one of the dead cards with the same syllable as Nishida's card is read

1469
01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:21,960
and Nishida's like, okay, finally he blocks it. Now it's like a 50 50, right? Like there's

1470
01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:25,320
nothing else. But then Tai Chi looks intense and he's like, oh shit, there's another one.

1471
01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:31,120
Is it there? It's so that's like Tai Chi, you know, practice what you preach. You're

1472
01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:35,840
telling to Haya, like, don't give it away. You're giving it away with your intense stare

1473
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:40,960
that there must be another one coming up. I don't think he can do anything about it,

1474
01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:45,640
regardless. But the next card is read. Nishida's card, she is able to take it before Tai Chi

1475
01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:50,560
can reach and he wins. Everybody feels bad about it. I feel like it's just impossible.

1476
01:04:50,560 --> 01:04:55,240
I feel like you just can't win in that situation if you're Tai Chi. No, you just have to make

1477
01:04:55,240 --> 01:04:59,760
sure it never gets to that point. You have to do better throughout the game so that you

1478
01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:05,280
never get to a situation where your entire victory is based on luck. And this is where

1479
01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:08,520
I just want to say something that's weird about the way cards I was played in this.

1480
01:05:08,520 --> 01:05:14,680
You only play one game. That seems weird. Yeah. What do you mean? Against a person? Yeah,

1481
01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:17,840
like in the finals, it's only a one game. It's one game. Normally it's like best of

1482
01:05:17,840 --> 01:05:20,840
three or something, right? Like in a lot of other stuff, it would be like a best of three

1483
01:05:20,840 --> 01:05:27,040
or a best of five or something. But it's just a one game. Maybe. Especially if it goes down

1484
01:05:27,040 --> 01:05:32,040
like this, right? Like, can you really say you're here? Yeah, I mean, because I guess

1485
01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:38,840
they're while they're doing so many and it is a thing we have to memorize. So like, like

1486
01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:43,800
how do you do that over and over again? I can see being like difficult, especially if

1487
01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:49,240
you're going against the same opponent to like memorize a new layout for like a same

1488
01:05:49,240 --> 01:05:56,040
person can be difficult or the right out time. They just don't they just only do one round.

1489
01:05:56,040 --> 01:06:02,720
I wonder like how long a match tapes like is that enough time to like hit your groove

1490
01:06:02,720 --> 01:06:10,520
and like be at your best for this last round? Yeah, it just feels like you'd play more than

1491
01:06:10,520 --> 01:06:13,680
one, especially for like a final. Like you think you at least do a two out of three,

1492
01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:19,600
right? It's like really chess. It's always multiple out of multiple like tennis. I mean,

1493
01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:25,080
it's like multiple games, you know what I mean? Even like though, like the yeah, it's

1494
01:06:25,080 --> 01:06:28,440
like multiple games, you know what I mean? Like it's just so common to do multiple series

1495
01:06:28,440 --> 01:06:32,600
of a thing like all eSports do this, but like fighting tournaments, League of Legends,

1496
01:06:32,600 --> 01:06:39,760
that's because they're getting money for sponsors and stuff. And this has nothing like that.

1497
01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:44,360
It just seems like you'd want to do that for something that's this important. I don't know.

1498
01:06:44,360 --> 01:06:49,200
It's just kind of weird. Well, is it that important to the organizer? This is just another

1499
01:06:49,200 --> 01:06:57,440
tournament like maybe for the qualifying or against the actual Queen and King or Master.

1500
01:06:57,440 --> 01:07:04,120
So it's like Master and then Queen. I feel like it should be like King and Queen.

1501
01:07:04,120 --> 01:07:07,680
Yeah, it should be Emperor and Empress or something.

1502
01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:14,280
It will actually be gendered, right? Like it's yes. Yeah. Anyways,

1503
01:07:14,280 --> 01:07:19,280
it's better than Master. Like I cannot stress this enough. There could be multiple Masters

1504
01:07:19,280 --> 01:07:22,720
of a thing, but there's only one Queen. What are we doing? Yeah. Anyway, I just thought

1505
01:07:22,720 --> 01:07:28,440
that was weird. Yeah. In the locker room, Tai Chi asks Nishida if he knew which dead cards

1506
01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:35,600
were left. He didn't put Satomu did. So someone else is memorizing everything. Tai Chi tersely

1507
01:07:35,600 --> 01:07:39,560
comments that Nishida got lucky and then leaves while waiting at the entrance. Yeah. Tai Chi

1508
01:07:39,560 --> 01:07:42,760
scolds himself for getting snippy with Nishida since he could have just won by taking more

1509
01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:46,800
cards earlier in the match and he had lots of ways he could improve. So like it's not

1510
01:07:46,800 --> 01:07:52,520
Nishida's fault that he won by luck. Nishida walks out and sits next to him and Tai Chi

1511
01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:58,000
apologizes. Chi Hai walks out and sees them talking and she listens in. Nishida tells Tai

1512
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:01,560
Chi that he's glad that Tai Chi is club president because otherwise it'd be Chi Hai and she

1513
01:08:01,560 --> 01:08:04,760
keeps giving everybody weird nicknames and they just let her get away with it because

1514
01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:11,200
she's an airhead and Chi Hai hears this and is destroyed. It's extremely. So good. It's

1515
01:08:11,200 --> 01:08:19,720
so good. Oh man. Yes. She needs to hear it. She does. This is true. Yes. Nishida is correct.

1516
01:08:19,720 --> 01:08:23,400
Saying that Tai Chi is the only one who calls him Nishida and that he wants to keep playing

1517
01:08:23,400 --> 01:08:26,680
with him. Tai Chi agrees and they all go except this is something that the rest also need

1518
01:08:26,680 --> 01:08:30,560
to hear because they also still call him that. Yep. Yep. Yeah. The only one who calls people

1519
01:08:30,560 --> 01:08:34,840
by their names which is why everybody likes him even though he's like feels very distant

1520
01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:41,800
from everybody. No. He's in it now. He was in it like he wasn't fazed by his girlfriend

1521
01:08:41,800 --> 01:08:48,720
dumping him at all. He's just like OK moving forward. I know. But like he's excited now.

1522
01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:54,160
I feel like he's more into it now. He's into it now. Like he got sad about losing because

1523
01:08:54,160 --> 01:08:59,800
he didn't care. You know. Yeah. Let's see. Kata's mom drives them home. She congratulates

1524
01:08:59,800 --> 01:09:03,200
the team on three members classing up and Satoma was like three and they tell him that

1525
01:09:03,200 --> 01:09:08,560
the top three people from class D get to rank up because like otherwise the pyramid wouldn't

1526
01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:13,920
work if it was that hard. There's a lot more. Yeah. I guess it's like top. It's probably

1527
01:09:13,920 --> 01:09:22,160
like top one top two top three top placing. Yeah. Class D C and D I guess class class

1528
01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:31,160
D is the lowest. Yeah. Right. Now we have no one in class D in the club on the team.

1529
01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:38,200
Yep. We're A B and C now. She's she tries to make a point to call everybody by their

1530
01:09:38,200 --> 01:09:42,280
actual names instead of their nicknames. Kana says she was playing her best because she

1531
01:09:42,280 --> 01:09:46,080
was playing against Satomu which was familiar enough that the pressure didn't get to her.

1532
01:09:46,080 --> 01:09:50,320
T'aiji falls asleep with his head bobbing against the door. So she reaches over and

1533
01:09:50,320 --> 01:10:00,600
lays his head on her shoulder. Just a normal thing to do. I feel like an anime it is. I

1534
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:09,320
don't know. I would just be like wake up. I think I would it. Yeah. Just just continue

1535
01:10:09,320 --> 01:10:15,720
to torment him by not being interested in giving signals. Watching this happen. This

1536
01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:23,360
is insane. Well you think they all realize how into her he is or no. Well he doesn't

1537
01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:30,520
but like they also don't fully know the backstory of Arda and all that. So I feel like

1538
01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:34,960
most of the time he's probably just talking to her like a child like T'aiji. Come on.

1539
01:10:34,960 --> 01:10:38,640
This is a problem where like I imagine with all these time skips that they've been like

1540
01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:42,120
hanging out and talking to people or whatever. But like I'm sure there's going to be a conversation

1541
01:10:42,120 --> 01:10:45,120
where they're just like you guys were childhood friends. You know what I mean. Like they're

1542
01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:49,720
not going to have basic information about each other later on. And I like dread that

1543
01:10:49,720 --> 01:10:53,080
moment where I'm like oh these people haven't been like hanging out and being friends in

1544
01:10:53,080 --> 01:11:00,280
the meantime. They've just been doing nothing. Yeah. We'll see I guess. T'aiji tells them

1545
01:11:00,280 --> 01:11:03,000
that they should all play as a team again. She does like all right. Why are you being

1546
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:06,680
weird. Did you hear what I said about you with the nicknames. You can keep using the

1547
01:11:06,680 --> 01:11:10,400
nicknames because you're supposed to be an airhead. I have no expectations of you anyway

1548
01:11:10,400 --> 01:11:20,360
and they all laugh. Tolerance. Let's just not encourage. So close to getting away from

1549
01:11:20,360 --> 01:11:28,480
the nicknames and they brought it back. She does like. Oh it's fine. I don't think you're

1550
01:11:28,480 --> 01:11:39,480
dumb. So it's cute when you say it. Oh man. Like you have. No she needs to learn. We had

1551
01:11:39,480 --> 01:11:45,080
it. Because they. Because it happened on the episode when they had the camp where she was

1552
01:11:45,080 --> 01:11:50,240
like going to apologize for being insane and like pushing them too far and then they're

1553
01:11:50,240 --> 01:11:56,160
all like no it's fine. And now here we are again. So she'll never learn from her mistakes

1554
01:11:56,160 --> 01:12:01,560
because everyone's like it's fine. Nothing. All she's learned about not to be. It's her

1555
01:12:01,560 --> 01:12:06,320
only character thing. What is happening here. Why is this happening. Why. Why. Why are you

1556
01:12:06,320 --> 01:12:09,640
doing this. They're putting it in and then they're taking it away from me. They're like

1557
01:12:09,640 --> 01:12:14,640
oh you see this scene where Nishida actually admits that it feels bad to be called names

1558
01:12:14,640 --> 01:12:18,880
by people and he doesn't like it. Well don't worry about it because he thinks she hides

1559
01:12:18,880 --> 01:12:24,680
dumb so it's fine. Whatever. Yeah but her doing it everyone else falling suit. It's not just

1560
01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:30,800
her doing it. Rest of them are too. He should be mad at everyone else too. Oh my god. Trash

1561
01:12:30,800 --> 01:12:36,680
they're so bad. They were good for a second. They're bad again. Oh man. We cut to Arata

1562
01:12:36,680 --> 01:12:40,640
at his local car to club. He sees the results of the tournament and that Nishida has classed

1563
01:12:40,640 --> 01:12:46,800
up. He says he's going to be ready for the Western finals as we cut to credits. He's

1564
01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:54,200
going to be back in the story maybe. We just barely get glimpses at him for being a major

1565
01:12:54,200 --> 01:13:02,760
character. We have so little time with them because Satomu is the champion and makes the

1566
01:13:02,760 --> 01:13:09,160
game sound fun and interesting. By thinking about. Well that's because he's like a new

1567
01:13:09,160 --> 01:13:15,760
player so he's thinking of it in like normal approachable ways versus someone who's been

1568
01:13:15,760 --> 01:13:21,200
doing it for years isn't going to be like thinking about all the. Well yeah. Things we need to

1569
01:13:21,200 --> 01:13:27,360
know to understand. I'm also a normal viewer and I don't want to hear about Tai Chi's weird

1570
01:13:27,360 --> 01:13:31,600
mind palace about where he's memorized all these components I've never heard of. I want

1571
01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:35,680
to hear. I mean I think it's a question. I'm good at this. Here's what I'm going to do

1572
01:13:35,680 --> 01:13:39,200
to counter what she's doing. That's what I want to hear. I don't want to hear. Yeah.

1573
01:13:39,200 --> 01:13:44,320
Whatever the fuck Tai Chi's thinking. She doesn't think at all. So she her batch is really just

1574
01:13:44,320 --> 01:13:49,320
aren't that interesting. I don't know. No. Yeah. Wait. There's other strategies besides

1575
01:13:49,320 --> 01:13:54,880
just being fast. There's more to this game besides that. What has she been doing all

1576
01:13:54,880 --> 01:14:02,960
these years. Yeah. I can't imagine Dr. Herata is super fast. But like he. You know what

1577
01:14:02,960 --> 01:14:09,360
I mean. Well right. I'm guessing. This is like the thing that you complain about where

1578
01:14:09,360 --> 01:14:17,360
like if you if you. Hit your peak. Should you keep trying or not. And I guess she is

1579
01:14:17,360 --> 01:14:22,360
hitting that where it's like what she's done up to this point isn't working. And so yeah.

1580
01:14:22,360 --> 01:14:27,280
Not giving up but finding a new way forward. I mean she has things that she can obviously

1581
01:14:27,280 --> 01:14:31,640
improve on. This isn't quite the same. She just can't do it. She just hasn't tried doing

1582
01:14:31,640 --> 01:14:37,040
it yet. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The thing that bothers me or like the thing I want more is like I

1583
01:14:37,040 --> 01:14:40,560
don't really understand what Tai Chi's problem is. Like I saw a really like this is a really

1584
01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:44,960
good episode to learn about what Satomu and Kana are like. Right. Like we know that Satomu

1585
01:14:44,960 --> 01:14:50,720
is like some mental problems. He also like you know hasn't been able to put on muscle

1586
01:14:50,720 --> 01:14:53,720
or any of that stuff. So he like struggles kind of developmentally with some of this

1587
01:14:53,720 --> 01:14:58,280
stuff like in a broad sense of like getting better at card stuff. But he is smart. He

1588
01:14:58,280 --> 01:15:02,400
is using strategy. He's trying to compensate for that. And I think that's really interesting.

1589
01:15:02,400 --> 01:15:06,680
And Kana is like she thinks about the game like fundamentally different than everybody

1590
01:15:06,680 --> 01:15:12,000
else. Right. Yes. Yes. The poems. But she also is very good at like you know because

1591
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:16,960
she's being like a proper lady. She isn't faulting. She's being very proper. Which I

1592
01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:21,880
think is I think she does is with intention. Right. It's not none of it's willy nilly.

1593
01:15:21,880 --> 01:15:28,040
It's all. So she doesn't make mistakes because like Satomu accidentally sent her a card that

1594
01:15:28,040 --> 01:15:33,480
he shouldn't that wouldn't have been smart to do. And like so she keeps a cool head.

1595
01:15:33,480 --> 01:15:40,720
So that's OK. Can we talk about we kind of mentioned it when we watch this together.

1596
01:15:40,720 --> 01:15:48,120
But she like goes to pick up a card and she like does the whole like let me get down on

1597
01:15:48,120 --> 01:15:54,840
my knees and talk my my a column of pants in and then grab the card and then get up.

1598
01:15:54,840 --> 01:16:00,160
And I'm like this is too much effort. Like right with the head every time you get up.

1599
01:16:00,160 --> 01:16:07,680
So. Oh my God. It sounds like a nightmare. She's winning. So she's had to do that. But

1600
01:16:07,680 --> 01:16:11,480
oh yeah. I mean she's into it though. She lives for this stuff. She loves doing that.

1601
01:16:11,480 --> 01:16:16,480
I guess. I guess. So this is why like this is probably like you know people are like

1602
01:16:16,480 --> 01:16:19,880
then and they complain about like doing tea ceremonies or whatever. This is probably why

1603
01:16:19,880 --> 01:16:26,800
it sucks because it's just like that for like an hour. Yes. Yeah. I well I didn't do it when

1604
01:16:26,800 --> 01:16:31,240
I went because I kind of afford to. But also I feel like a lot of people said that's kind

1605
01:16:31,240 --> 01:16:37,360
of boring. Yeah. Because it's just like so it's proper. Exactly. Yes. A bunch of things.

1606
01:16:37,360 --> 01:16:47,360
I know. I could never with this posture of mine. Just to serve tea. Okay. I'll say how

1607
01:16:47,360 --> 01:16:55,200
can she hire everyone from the side. See what cards are being played before they're read

1608
01:16:55,200 --> 01:17:01,160
like they're far away. Parts are on the ground like are they able to read them from that

1609
01:17:01,160 --> 01:17:08,160
far. Like I'm dang. I think it's not expected. It's not a science spectators for. Well I know

1610
01:17:08,160 --> 01:17:15,600
but like when Satoma sent that card and she hired was like oh why did he send that card.

1611
01:17:15,600 --> 01:17:19,960
I'm like how could you tell a card he sent. Oh yeah. That wasn't verbal at all. You know

1612
01:17:19,960 --> 01:17:24,880
it sounds like a bad. You need cameras. They need overhead cameras and to project them on

1613
01:17:24,880 --> 01:17:31,080
screen. That's what they need. It needs to be housing these in temples and stuff and

1614
01:17:31,080 --> 01:17:37,000
like old rustic places. You need TVs guys. You need the jumbo Tron up there so I could

1615
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:41,960
see that like what's going on with Tai Chi and Ashita. Then she could watch multiple

1616
01:17:41,960 --> 01:17:50,920
games at once. She can't because I guess as long as the players can't see them. Yeah.

1617
01:17:50,920 --> 01:17:58,640
I get right. Like it would have been nice if someone who knew them was also watching

1618
01:17:58,640 --> 01:18:05,480
not just retro who gave us nothing on their math like anything about the way Nishita or

1619
01:18:05,480 --> 01:18:10,680
Tai Chi plays. We just know that they're basically. No. But I still like I don't know. Well it's

1620
01:18:10,680 --> 01:18:16,920
interesting because when Nishita joined the club it's like OK good. She hired me so in

1621
01:18:16,920 --> 01:18:25,320
stronger to practice against which imply that he is better than Tai Chi. So I guess it makes

1622
01:18:25,320 --> 01:18:30,400
sense that he well but this but if that was the case it wouldn't have come to lack of

1623
01:18:30,400 --> 01:18:37,920
the draw for him to win. So Tai Chi must have improved a lot. Since he joined clear. This

1624
01:18:37,920 --> 01:18:43,280
is the problem. It's like it's not clear to me if Tai Chi is better or not. Well I got

1625
01:18:43,280 --> 01:18:49,240
to because we don't write a bit more at the last tournament both of them. But this tournament

1626
01:18:49,240 --> 01:18:56,160
they made it to the finals because the opponents are just weaker. I'm assuming it was just the

1627
01:18:56,160 --> 01:19:01,560
opponents. Yeah. Maybe I don't know. Part of it I guess just being lucky on who you go

1628
01:19:01,560 --> 01:19:07,720
against. Right. For ranking up purposes. I don't I don't know. This is the thing. This

1629
01:19:07,720 --> 01:19:10,920
is like this is the information I want to know to get more invested in like what's going

1630
01:19:10,920 --> 01:19:14,640
on with them in terms of like how they play. So far we haven't really seen them play. So

1631
01:19:14,640 --> 01:19:19,200
it's really not that big. Yeah. So surely it's coming since we just got it with Satome

1632
01:19:19,200 --> 01:19:23,400
and kind of but I'm glad we're in this mode in the show now that we're going to start

1633
01:19:23,400 --> 01:19:28,240
exploring how people play and what that reflects about their personalities and like who they

1634
01:19:28,240 --> 01:19:33,000
are as people because that's the thing that I want. As opposed to before this which is

1635
01:19:33,000 --> 01:19:38,560
just like you want to watch a card a game which is like no I don't actually. Yeah. Yeah.

1636
01:19:38,560 --> 01:19:45,680
So this is best episodes yet. The best episodes yet. Watch it immediately go back to not doing

1637
01:19:45,680 --> 01:19:52,400
anything like this. The problem is that she high up being the main character is a little

1638
01:19:52,400 --> 01:19:55,800
bit of a does not work. Yeah. I don't think she's going to do this which means we need

1639
01:19:55,800 --> 01:20:00,800
to have somebody watch her game and do this for her. Yes. We have to this point. It's

1640
01:20:00,800 --> 01:20:04,720
only really been tight. She sometimes but site. She doesn't really do it either. We

1641
01:20:04,720 --> 01:20:09,320
need to tell me I need to tell me to narrate every game for me. I need to tell me to be

1642
01:20:09,320 --> 01:20:15,200
like oh here's she highest stat spread because he has those. He's been keeping track of everything.

1643
01:20:15,200 --> 01:20:20,640
That's oh I like that and she's like show me mine. He's like not for nothing like hell.

1644
01:20:20,640 --> 01:20:27,000
Yeah. Was he got to do to get his info. I need to tell me to to officiate every man be

1645
01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:32,760
the main character. Watch every match and tell me what's happening. Maybe it just would

1646
01:20:32,760 --> 01:20:38,680
have been better that because like most sports anime I feel like a lot of it is like a newcomer

1647
01:20:38,680 --> 01:20:43,920
and then through the protagonist we're like seeing everything from the eyes of a beginner

1648
01:20:43,920 --> 01:20:49,400
versus this being our protagonist already proficient in it. We didn't join her along

1649
01:20:49,400 --> 01:20:54,200
the entire journey. So like we didn't learn along with her. So it's like kind of a weird

1650
01:20:54,200 --> 01:20:59,840
setup for like a sports. Yeah. Anime. It's also weird because it's like knowing that

1651
01:20:59,840 --> 01:21:03,880
the game works like this. I'm just like she high up played against Coni. I don't know

1652
01:21:03,880 --> 01:21:08,400
how Coni plays at all. We didn't learn anything about the way she played because like she

1653
01:21:08,400 --> 01:21:11,920
high just isn't paying attention. But like I haven't learned anything about it. Yes.

1654
01:21:11,920 --> 01:21:17,240
But like how does pseudo play. I don't know. What does he do. He what's he bad at. I don't

1655
01:21:17,240 --> 01:21:21,960
know. Taunts and intimidates by standing up. Yeah. But it doesn't work and saying weird

1656
01:21:21,960 --> 01:21:28,680
stuff. Yeah. I mean he was good enough to. Yeah. The queen. He's going. Yeah. What he's

1657
01:21:28,680 --> 01:21:36,360
good at. No. Like this is the stuff I wish we were getting earlier on so we could learn

1658
01:21:36,360 --> 01:21:41,800
something. Yes. Something with the. Yes. Aside from the fact that he's the guy who stands

1659
01:21:41,800 --> 01:21:47,320
up. You know what I mean. Well luckily this is just we're coming to the end of the first

1660
01:21:47,320 --> 01:21:52,680
season but there's two more seasons. So there is more time to be exploring those things.

1661
01:21:52,680 --> 01:21:57,120
Yeah. But the stakes may be higher by then taking forever.

1662
01:21:57,120 --> 01:22:02,640
It wasn't. You know what I mean. Like in high Q. We watch that. At least he would be like

1663
01:22:02,640 --> 01:22:06,520
this is the team that serves the ball and he could put it anywhere because he's a great

1664
01:22:06,520 --> 01:22:10,280
server. That's at least like a stake. I understand what the problem is. Right.

1665
01:22:10,280 --> 01:22:15,600
Uh huh. She loses to kind. I don't really know why other than that she keeps messing

1666
01:22:15,600 --> 01:22:21,960
up which is like OK but like. I'm sorry Joe. So I'm one of my favorite enemies ever.

1667
01:22:21,960 --> 01:22:28,800
You just. I'm just saying I wish they did this earlier. They're doing it now.

1668
01:22:28,800 --> 01:22:31,240
Which is something to keep doing it. You know what I mean.

1669
01:22:34,400 --> 01:22:37,520
Yeah. I feel like we just evolved. What happened.

1670
01:22:41,320 --> 01:22:45,040
I just like it. I just like this show. The show is good.

1671
01:22:45,040 --> 01:22:50,280
And like I'm sure as it gets more to the drama part like the love triangle thing.

1672
01:22:50,280 --> 01:22:53,000
Like I want that. Ever happened.

1673
01:22:54,520 --> 01:22:57,240
It's just slow. It's slow startup. It's been a slow time.

1674
01:22:58,440 --> 01:22:59,160
Yes.

1675
01:23:00,480 --> 01:23:02,480
Expecting the next episode will also be good.

1676
01:23:03,720 --> 01:23:08,520
Yeah. All right. Well I guess that's enough to hide a talk for now.

1677
01:23:08,520 --> 01:23:11,080
Now that you've declared that I hate this show.

1678
01:23:11,080 --> 01:23:13,960
You know that I'm devastated that you hate it.

1679
01:23:13,960 --> 01:23:16,760
This is what I'm talking about. So much of it. I like this show.

1680
01:23:16,760 --> 01:23:18,480
I would make us watch a different show.

1681
01:23:18,480 --> 01:23:22,960
I don't know. Maybe I don't think you would.

1682
01:23:22,960 --> 01:23:24,320
I don't think you would.

1683
01:23:24,320 --> 01:23:28,800
Bad. Like when I say that the matches that she had earlier on like because they

1684
01:23:28,800 --> 01:23:31,240
aren't giving characterization are just like not that interesting.

1685
01:23:31,800 --> 01:23:33,320
I'm not saying they're like totally boring.

1686
01:23:33,320 --> 01:23:39,200
Like it still has the like drama of easy to watch but not to comment on.

1687
01:23:39,200 --> 01:23:40,680
Yeah. Totally fine.

1688
01:23:40,680 --> 01:23:41,920
Like they've been totally fine.

1689
01:23:41,920 --> 01:23:43,480
But it's like not giving me what I want.

1690
01:23:43,480 --> 01:23:45,440
Which is this added layer of like.

1691
01:23:45,440 --> 01:23:48,160
God she hired trying to make a podcast here.

1692
01:23:48,160 --> 01:23:50,040
Give us some more to talk about.

1693
01:23:50,760 --> 01:23:53,360
I just want to add a bit and these gave it to me.

1694
01:23:53,360 --> 01:23:54,560
Why these are.

1695
01:23:54,560 --> 01:23:55,760
Yes.

1696
01:23:55,760 --> 01:23:56,600
This is good stuff.

1697
01:23:56,600 --> 01:23:59,760
I hope the show doesn't disappoint you moving forward.

1698
01:23:59,760 --> 01:24:02,000
I don't exactly remember what happened.

1699
01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:05,320
I think it will because it's like moving because like now she highest thinking

1700
01:24:05,320 --> 01:24:07,040
about strategy to think about strategy.

1701
01:24:07,040 --> 01:24:08,560
You have to think through this stuff.

1702
01:24:08,560 --> 01:24:10,800
Right. Like I'm optimistic about it.

1703
01:24:10,800 --> 01:24:15,040
Like if me and my sister can both follow this show and understand it.

1704
01:24:15,040 --> 01:24:16,440
Enough to enjoy it.

1705
01:24:16,440 --> 01:24:17,320
Anyone can.

1706
01:24:18,200 --> 01:24:19,080
It's not the same.

1707
01:24:19,880 --> 01:24:22,480
Like it's like I can't follow the show.

1708
01:24:23,080 --> 01:24:25,280
Well there I am.

1709
01:24:26,280 --> 01:24:27,080
That's fine.

1710
01:24:27,080 --> 01:24:27,560
OK.

1711
01:24:31,680 --> 01:24:32,760
We're having patients.

1712
01:24:32,760 --> 01:24:34,320
I didn't watch it anymore.

1713
01:24:34,320 --> 01:24:35,680
Which I didn't.

1714
01:24:35,680 --> 01:24:36,680
I didn't watch it.

1715
01:24:36,680 --> 01:24:39,080
So you can just show a segment.

1716
01:24:40,760 --> 01:24:42,400
Yeah. I feel like we're running long.

1717
01:24:43,560 --> 01:24:44,080
Yeah.

1718
01:24:44,080 --> 01:24:44,960
Sorry.

1719
01:24:44,960 --> 01:24:45,760
8 p.m.

1720
01:24:45,760 --> 01:24:48,680
I got to squeeze some Star Wars outlaws in.

1721
01:24:48,680 --> 01:24:50,960
I need to eat dinner at 9 p.m.

1722
01:24:50,960 --> 01:24:51,560
Yeah.

1723
01:24:51,560 --> 01:24:53,360
I got to see you.

1724
01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:54,360
All right.

1725
01:24:54,360 --> 01:24:58,160
So please rate us five stars on your podcast platform of choice.

1726
01:24:58,160 --> 01:24:59,760
We're having a good time.

1727
01:24:59,760 --> 01:25:04,160
Despite what some of us say we're both having a good time watching this show.

1728
01:25:05,000 --> 01:25:06,880
I was watching it and talking about it.

1729
01:25:06,880 --> 01:25:10,160
And I think you should reward us for doing that by giving us.

1730
01:25:11,160 --> 01:25:13,360
I think you should also tell people around you.

1731
01:25:13,360 --> 01:25:17,760
At this show is good, especially episodes 17 through 19 and that they should watch it.

1732
01:25:17,760 --> 01:25:18,760
It's a complete.

1733
01:25:18,760 --> 01:25:22,640
It's a totally bingeable show because that apparently is how sports anime is watched

1734
01:25:22,640 --> 01:25:24,240
by just doing it all in a row.

1735
01:25:24,240 --> 01:25:28,280
It's really good to shotgun and they can listen to all our episodes along with it.

1736
01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:29,080
So tell them.

1737
01:25:30,280 --> 01:25:31,280
Yeah.

1738
01:25:31,280 --> 01:25:33,480
Did Erin already go on a road trip?

1739
01:25:34,280 --> 01:25:36,280
I think she's doing that really right now.

1740
01:25:37,280 --> 01:25:41,080
Listen to us on your road trips across the country.

1741
01:25:41,080 --> 01:25:42,080
Country.

1742
01:25:45,360 --> 01:25:49,640
Man, look, we have so many hours to listen to us talk.

1743
01:25:50,480 --> 01:25:51,000
Yeah.

1744
01:25:51,000 --> 01:25:53,400
So I always did.

1745
01:25:53,400 --> 01:25:56,320
I like if I don't know people out there.

1746
01:25:57,280 --> 01:26:01,240
I hope you enjoy listening to us and enjoy listening to podcasts a lot.

1747
01:26:02,600 --> 01:26:06,120
Some may only all of we maybe were your only podcast.

1748
01:26:06,680 --> 01:26:10,320
But I feel like if they've made it to our like I'm at minute.

1749
01:26:10,320 --> 01:26:13,200
I'm at one hour and 51 minutes because we took a break.

1750
01:26:13,360 --> 01:26:15,920
So if they've listened this long, I think they I think they probably enjoy it.

1751
01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:17,040
A great star.

1752
01:26:17,040 --> 01:26:20,600
Well, yeah, please, because we're twenty twenty five.

1753
01:26:20,600 --> 01:26:24,240
It'll be one year for us next month.

1754
01:26:24,400 --> 01:26:30,480
And we this year now that we've kind of set up our format and all that,

1755
01:26:30,480 --> 01:26:33,680
we want to, you know, growth is what we're looking for this year.

1756
01:26:33,720 --> 01:26:35,480
So like growing our audience.

1757
01:26:35,480 --> 01:26:36,640
Yeah.

1758
01:26:36,640 --> 01:26:38,840
So help us doing that.

1759
01:26:38,920 --> 01:26:40,000
Yeah.

1760
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:43,360
And it's an email or DMs on socials.

1761
01:26:43,600 --> 01:26:45,600
Anything. Yeah, that'll be Sarah.

1762
01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:47,600
Give us something.

1763
01:26:49,360 --> 01:26:51,000
So it's fun.

1764
01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:51,920
It's fun to reach out.

1765
01:26:51,920 --> 01:26:52,960
We're not going to be mean.

1766
01:26:52,960 --> 01:26:54,720
Don't be mean to us.

1767
01:26:54,720 --> 01:26:56,880
Or we're just not going to respond.

1768
01:26:56,880 --> 01:26:58,520
I can take it.

1769
01:26:58,520 --> 01:26:59,800
I do social media for work.

1770
01:26:59,800 --> 01:27:02,760
I got a deal of crappy messages all the time.

1771
01:27:02,760 --> 01:27:04,120
No, it's not too bad.

1772
01:27:04,120 --> 01:27:05,960
But, you know, people.

1773
01:27:07,360 --> 01:27:08,720
Don't don't be sucky.

1774
01:27:08,720 --> 01:27:09,200
Don't be sucky.

1775
01:27:09,200 --> 01:27:11,240
Lovely listeners.

1776
01:27:11,240 --> 01:27:13,480
Remember, I guess we're ending, right?

1777
01:27:14,360 --> 01:27:15,240
Yeah. Yeah.

1778
01:27:15,240 --> 01:27:17,880
Remember, always plot out your statistical

1779
01:27:17,880 --> 01:27:20,040
quadrants of where you were best and worst at.

1780
01:27:20,040 --> 01:27:23,480
Any cards in your respective fields.

1781
01:27:23,840 --> 01:27:27,040
That can reveal a lot of information about which hand you're using.

1782
01:27:27,040 --> 01:27:29,160
I didn't even talk about the fact that you could just win card

1783
01:27:29,160 --> 01:27:31,800
about using both your hands, which maybe you're just not allowed to.

1784
01:27:31,800 --> 01:27:34,560
But they should use both hands and.

1785
01:27:34,920 --> 01:27:38,680
Hold people accountable and hold people accountable.

1786
01:27:38,680 --> 01:27:42,760
Don't dismiss people for their bad behavior, because we'll never learn.

1787
01:27:42,760 --> 01:27:45,960
And then whatever they did that set you up, just do to other people

1788
01:27:45,960 --> 01:27:47,920
and continue doing to you.

1789
01:27:47,920 --> 01:27:49,520
So, yeah.

1790
01:27:50,800 --> 01:27:55,160
And if your friend has a you, don't just like put their head on your shoulder.

1791
01:27:55,160 --> 01:27:56,000
Don't.

1792
01:27:57,160 --> 01:27:58,360
Leave them on.

1793
01:27:58,360 --> 01:27:59,480
Yeah, don't do that.

1794
01:27:59,480 --> 01:28:00,720
It's bad.

1795
01:28:00,720 --> 01:28:03,760
Even though you think you're being nice, I need you to think a little bit more.

1796
01:28:03,760 --> 01:28:06,800
I think I want you to use strategy in your real life, Jiaya,

1797
01:28:06,800 --> 01:28:08,840
and not just in.

1798
01:28:10,120 --> 01:28:12,080
Yeah, she could benefit from that.

1799
01:28:12,080 --> 01:28:15,040
She's definitely not paying off the family mortgage.

1800
01:28:15,920 --> 01:28:17,840
OK, this is a little bit early.

1801
01:28:17,840 --> 01:28:19,640
We should probably save this until the end.

1802
01:28:19,640 --> 01:28:23,040
But like which protagonist of all the shows we watch is like the most love

1803
01:28:23,040 --> 01:28:26,240
oblivious so far, a bullet love oblivious.

1804
01:28:26,600 --> 01:28:28,880
Because they've all kind of been right.

1805
01:28:28,880 --> 01:28:32,440
Well, I feel like technically it should be.

1806
01:28:32,440 --> 01:28:37,040
So because it's like been much more like apparent,

1807
01:28:37,680 --> 01:28:42,720
like a normal person would be able to tell versus like type T is kind of not

1808
01:28:43,240 --> 01:28:46,280
super blatantly doing things that indicate that.

1809
01:28:47,080 --> 01:28:48,560
We're saying things.

1810
01:28:49,080 --> 01:28:54,200
So like technically isn't put too high in a situation where he's asking

1811
01:28:54,200 --> 01:28:59,000
for an answer or anything like that versus cause a high up being very clear.

1812
01:28:59,000 --> 01:29:03,040
And Sawako just totally unaware that that was his intention was.

1813
01:29:03,040 --> 01:29:04,640
I feel like it's still her.

1814
01:29:06,440 --> 01:29:09,640
Maybe it was Kyoko because most people just straight up told her.

1815
01:29:11,000 --> 01:29:16,000
Well, she's just close like emotionally with intention.

1816
01:29:16,000 --> 01:29:17,240
Yeah, I guess that's different.

1817
01:29:17,240 --> 01:29:20,000
Yeah, right. Yeah. Yeah.

1818
01:29:20,000 --> 01:29:21,280
Right.

1819
01:29:23,800 --> 01:29:26,440
Not every day we hear that folks.

1820
01:29:26,440 --> 01:29:30,880
I'm not. Next week for the penultimate episode

1821
01:29:31,480 --> 01:29:33,080
of Chiaya Fierro season one.

1822
01:29:33,080 --> 01:29:34,680
Yeah, we'll be back to in person.

1823
01:29:34,680 --> 01:29:37,880
So hopefully I get my mic fixed out by that.

1824
01:29:38,880 --> 01:29:40,840
All right. Thanks for listening.

1825
01:29:41,880 --> 01:29:42,880
Bye bye.

1826
01:29:42,880 --> 01:29:59,880
Bye bye.
