00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:19,000
Welcome back to Show Joe, our lovely listeners. I'm your host, Sarah, joined as always by

2
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:33,000
my friend Joe, who I'm showing Show Joe anime to hence show Joe the name. Sup Joe, how we doing?

3
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Hey, here we are at almost the end of season one of Chai Furue.

4
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:44,000
Yes, we've got things to say this time.

5
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:54,000
I mean, I guess. Well, okay. Different tone this week than last week.

6
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:05,000
Let's see. Okay, first things first. Very important. I need to know. Did you watch episode three of The Traders yet?

7
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,000
No.

8
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:16,000
No. Okay. I've been unbelievably busy. God, I do so much stuff all the time. Yeah. So I haven't.

9
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:30,000
Okay, that's too bad. I'm like so amped. Now I have three. Basically three reality shows just started. The Traders, US season three.

10
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:47,000
And we've got Love Island All Stars season two. And we've got the challenge All Stars rivals, which makes it seem like maybe they're putting more effort and budget into the challenge All Stars, because normally that one is very low key.

11
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:58,000
So they even gave it like a title to it. So hopefully that's good. That starts at the end of the month. But but yeah.

12
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:09,000
Oh, and one of my favorite Love Island contestants ever is on this All Stars season and she's crazy. So it's gonna be good.

13
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:14,000
I even mentioned her when we were doing our, we were doing our angelic layer.

14
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:23,000
You were like, who would be the best dual list or something? Love Island contestants.

15
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:35,000
I can sue back. Yes. Other than that, Viva Los Elvis comes out this week. So busy work week.

16
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,000
It's still cold, which is awesome. And

17
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:49,000
Whoa, we went to the convention together. We went to a convention. We did our Love Me section cosplay.

18
00:02:49,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Yes. So I'm holding off until we get those nice photos that were taken at the event before posting on social. So everyone keep an eye out for that.

19
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:13,000
Lots of more people recognize Skip beat than we expected. Just more people were like stopping us like mid walking like excuse me, who are you?

20
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:23,000
Yeah. Well, there were three of us. So I think people were yeah, numbers and just seeing what was going on.

21
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:35,000
I got some good stuff. You got some good stuff. Luckily Jenny got a bunch of stuff like I did. So I didn't feel as insane about the number of things I got.

22
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,000
Yeah.

23
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,000
Yeah.

24
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:49,000
You got a little Gundam guy. I got another gun blow because I now I'm up to three. Have you assembled any of them? Yeah, I've assembled two of them.

25
00:03:49,000 --> 00:04:00,000
I need to put the stickers on one of them and I'm dreading it. Oh, oh yeah. That's stickers application nightmare. Too much stuff. It doesn't.

26
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,000
It can't be pre applied.

27
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:17,000
Yeah. You apply it yourself. Well, why don't you tell us about if I don't know unless it's all super top secret work stuff way we've been up to now that you're back home.

28
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:26,000
I watched an anime movie. I watched the I think it's 1985.

29
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:37,000
I watched the vampire hunter D movie from 1985. Yeah. So 1985 I watched that was the first vampire hunter D movie.

30
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:46,000
I watched the kind of original English dub which is like very really hamming it up, which I think is pretty fitting for this movie.

31
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:56,000
Vampire Hunter D if you don't know is a story about a vampire hunter named D and he goes around and kills vampires.

32
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:12,000
This movie was like an interesting kind of Western more or less because it starts off with this woman who gets attacked by a vampire and so she only has a couple of days before she gets like totally thralled and has to and will either like get eaten by this vampire Lord.

33
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:26,000
So she sees D who's clearly a vampire hunter and recruits him to kill this vampire. It's ridiculous and over the top and kind of goofy and all the ways you expect, which was actually just really fun.

34
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:33,000
It was just like a fun good time and like a way over the top like gothic kind of movie that's also a Western.

35
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,000
Yeah, it was just fun. I don't know. Nice. You watch it on YouTube.

36
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:43,000
We love vampires. Don't we? You big Twilight fan Joe.

37
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,000
No, I think those vampires are kind of boring.

38
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,000
No, you're like Dracula.

39
00:05:49,000 --> 00:06:04,000
This is a more Dracula style vampire or just like I live in a big fucked up castle and I wear, you know, aristocratic clothing and my eyes glow red. That's the fun stuff.

40
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:11,000
Nice. Nice. I feel like Twilight's like what if we just said they were vampires, but they're actually just something else entirely basically.

41
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:16,000
They're just pasty people who run weird that live a long time.

42
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,000
Yeah, they're kind of just superheroes that bite people.

43
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,000
Mm hmm.

44
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,000
Yeah. So this was good.

45
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,000
What else did I do? I have like a couple of things. Oh, I beat Gears of War four.

46
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:33,000
I'm still doing my Gears of War run through. I forgot that there was a game in between three and four.

47
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,000
Yeah, I hadn't played that one before.

48
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,000
Between three and four.

49
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:43,000
Yeah, there's one called Judgment that I forgot about. So I have to play that now.

50
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,000
Nice.

51
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:52,000
You know, does a time skip and you play as like some guy and everything is weird because it's like in the future.

52
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,000
So you're not just fighting the locusts anymore.

53
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,000
You're like fighting robots and then some of this other stuff.

54
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:06,000
It was like, I kind of respect the fact that you would just go with a new thing and not just like re-hash the same stuff that you've been doing up to this point.

55
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:14,000
That being said, the story was kind of just like you go to this place. Now you have to go to this place. Now you're doing this thing, not really connected.

56
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:19,000
Like the last boss is just some big monster that shows up randomly.

57
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:32,000
So, you know, I don't know if it was really like it's more of just like a series of set piece locations, which is fine, but not really as coherent as kind of the first three games were.

58
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:38,000
So like if it was a standalone rather than the Gears of War, it would have felt better.

59
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,000
I mean, I think it would have been even more.

60
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:47,000
I feel like the fact that you know some of these characters is the only connective tissue between what is the thing.

61
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:52,000
And number five is that the one where you play as a chick?

62
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,000
I don't know.

63
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:58,000
I feel like I remember seeing the trailer at some point.

64
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,000
I think you enjoyed it at some point.

65
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,000
Not as bulky of a chick.

66
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:25,000
Yeah, I just, I mean, the only things I know about Gears of War are because Mass Effect 3 kind of they write there's Horde mode and Gears and they kind of took that further multiplayer element.

67
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,000
Yeah, which I quite like the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer rip.

68
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:37,000
And also they like improve their cover there. Well, it's like a third person shooter cover thing.

69
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:47,000
So that's kind of similar to I know one of them was like a football player and they run into his little cut out at a grocery or something.

70
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,000
Yeah, they do that.

71
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,000
And that's about it. That's all I know.

72
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,000
Yeah.

73
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,000
Yeah, it's it's fun.

74
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:59,000
I mean, like, you know, it's like a ridiculous over the top. Everyone's like a huge muscle head guy.

75
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,000
And you just like one buy stuff and shoot things.

76
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:08,000
Yeah, it's pretty dumb. I mean, like if it's really goofy and like over the top, it's kind of fun though, like in that way.

77
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:14,000
Four had like a little bit different of a tone, which I, you know, it didn't not work, but it just didn't feel like it fully cohered.

78
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,000
If that kind of makes sense.

79
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,000
Gotcha.

80
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,000
I see.

81
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:25,000
But I'm going to keep going with that. I got to play judgment if I'm able to the thing I'm using to play it, having some problems.

82
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,000
And then I'll be off to five.

83
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,000
Nice. Nice noise.

84
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,000
That's my arc.

85
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,000
Okay.

86
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,000
Cool. Cool.

87
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:38,000
Playing all the Gears of War games. I don't think I did anything else.

88
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,000
I watched a bit more of you.

89
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:47,000
Who's a fiance that one does. I go, this is too boring to watch a random episode with Joe.

90
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,000
He's crazy. He's not like full blown yonder.

91
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,000
I like God all the time.

92
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,000
I mean, that's good.

93
00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:00,000
It's just like a moment. I just I, because I'm never into that.

94
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:06,000
How would you, for the audience that may not know what that means, how would you describe the yonder or.

95
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,000
Yeah, right.

96
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:29,000
Cause there's like particular ones to anime. Probably the most known one is a sundae where you're like, you play it off like you're a, you know, harsh or snippy and on the inside you're like a big softy or basically it's like, oh, I hate you.

97
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:39,000
But actually I love you. I just said to bearish or want to play it cool, be cool looking. I won't admit it.

98
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:48,000
And then yonder is essentially just a person who's a total psychopath or and we like that for some reason.

99
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:59,000
And then is that how I just know it's like a crazy person or they're only crazy when they're in love. Crazy in love like Beyonce.

100
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:05,000
Here's the definition I'm pulling from my otaku world or my otaku world.com yonder.

101
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:11,000
They can be described as stalkers. These people can look cute and innocent, but they can be highly dangerous.

102
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:21,000
They would kill or attack anyone that would stand against them or in the way of their love. These type of people are psychotic and insane.

103
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:28,000
So it's like the, it's like the, I mean, all of these are kind of these dualities, right?

104
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:42,000
The yonder one is like they seem sweet and innocent, but actually they're sick of their sicko murderer. Maybe I mean they don't actually murder anybody.

105
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:49,000
Typically see it in female characters more. I don't know why are dudes into that?

106
00:11:49,000 --> 00:12:01,000
Cause like the crazier you are, the hotter you are. Okay. I've only played one dating sim where there was a yonder route.

107
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:11,000
Cause like, oh, he's a childhood friend and he's seeing it's really chill and nice, but that he like fucking puts you in a cage or some shit cause he doesn't let the world hurt you.

108
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,000
What the hell?

109
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:26,000
I feel like this is a more gendered one. Cause I feel like when it's women that are like yonder a crazy insane, you still have the kind of implication that like, oh, like women don't actually kill people or do harmful things.

110
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:38,000
I mean, that stuff isn't true, but that's kind of like they're not as threatening in a way. Whereas, um, I feel like a male version of a yonder is just like a predator.

111
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:45,000
I don't know. Because it's not, cause like you wouldn't describe that for like the guy who's kind of dangerous, but nice to you.

112
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,000
I mean, that's just like a different romance trope.

113
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,000
Yeah.

114
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:52,000
Uh, it's, so I feel like it doesn't really work for guys as well because, uh,

115
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:57,000
Basically like not restricted by society's norms.

116
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,000
Uh,

117
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,000
Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah.

118
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:07,000
Oh boy. Um, yeah, I guess that's all we got going on.

119
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:15,000
Do we want to jump in to our, uh, even better episodes that she hired for her than last week?

120
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,000
Uh, yeah. I mean, I wouldn't say that's true.

121
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,000
Yeah.

122
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,000
Particularly or at all.

123
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:26,000
We were like, Joe was like, the show has arrived. Like now it's gone.

124
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,000
It was so hot.

125
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:31,000
Not to, not to, not to take this time.

126
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,000
But then like what happened?

127
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,000
What happened?

128
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,000
What something happened, you know?

129
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:41,000
And she's like doing a cast that she finally has this revenge.

130
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,000
If the cast.

131
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,000
freed as the conservatives being too clever,

132
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:51,000
When I see theにちは's like blocking the screen just like what.

133
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,000
Oh man.

134
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,000
And look at him just in the face.

135
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,000
He's super awesome.

136
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,000
And I like it because he looks like he's sure of himself.

137
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,000
I mean,

138
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,000
He's a,

139
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,000
Oh.

140
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:10,480
Oh, yeah, they're like the so it's not like I've seen any other options to compare outside of them

141
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,720
Yeah, but like I don't know. Oh, I'm the tight she's so much better. It's crazy how much better

142
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,500
Titey's my favorite. Anyways get to it. Let's go

143
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:26,600
She hi foo reverse 20 is called the cresting waves almost look like clouds in the skies

144
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:36,880
I think there's one later on this even longer than that. We open on she hi a strategizing about how far

145
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:42,820
She can like sit back from the field of play against each member of the card of club

146
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:47,520
I don't remember exactly how much it is, but it's like oh I can sit further for like

147
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,800
Lines in the tatami mat for those two

148
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,380
But I have to move up closer for Tai Chi and Nishita

149
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:03,160
Nice, but there's little notches to count with yeah, cuz they like roll up right or they like fold up or something

150
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,560
They fold yeah, they fold

151
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:09,840
Very expensive man

152
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:14,600
But she thinks that she needs to do something else with her strategy besides just being fast

153
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,160
The rest of the team watches her

154
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:24,140
Strategize and is like oh man if she could just apply this to when she actually studied she wouldn't be fifth from the bottom in school

155
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:30,680
Her teacher tells her that she's not gonna let her go to the tournament right before exams because there's a tournament right before exams

156
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:36,080
I think that's the one that's the qualifier to like play the queen or whatever like that gets you

157
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:45,320
Before the qualifier so okay the last time to make a rank or get some practice then before it really counts

158
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,080
Okay, but this doesn't matter for Chi Haya because she's already

159
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,960
She's class so she can participate in the that's why it's only

160
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:59,880
rank a and b that can participate in this because if you wouldn't be then you can participate in qualifiers and

161
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:07,120
Yeah, but this is right before exams and her teachers is like you're close to failing so you can't go

162
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:14,520
She makes everybody study. Well, especially she makes her study using Satomu as her tutor. She's like I got you a tutor

163
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:19,080
It's Satomu who's gonna teach you every subject. I guess in like three days

164
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:25,280
Everybody else has to study too because everybody sucks at school apparently except for Satomu and Tai Chi

165
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:30,520
Which means that only Tai Chi can go to this qualifier because Satomu has to help everybody study

166
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,520
Nishida mentions that

167
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,480
technically placing second in two tournaments is like enough to

168
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:43,120
Be promoted to class a which is something that the card of societies do internally

169
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:48,920
I like what your auto correct turn card into Karina. Yeah, I wrote this on my iPad

170
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,560
Yeah, so we're guessing I guess it's the

171
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:03,920
We probably need to like look up with the system of like hierarchy is in card in Japan

172
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,240
Cuz there's like I guess maybe a

173
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:12,480
A general set of rules and then each society you belong to

174
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:18,120
Which I guess you register for like has their own specifications that you follow

175
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,280
and for

176
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:28,240
Nishida and like Tai Chi's different respective

177
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,080
Leaders of their societies both

178
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:37,800
Required that you actually win a class B tournament to level up rather than I guess the standard

179
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,720
Went to rank B's to make it a

180
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,280
Yeah, it seems like well, I guess it runs on like a club system more or less, right?

181
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:52,440
And like the official rules say that you can promote them at that but they belong to like more serious ones

182
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,880
So they tend to have higher things on that. Yeah, he could

183
00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,840
Yeah, based on what he's already done

184
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,520
But Tai Chi hasn't asked for that

185
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:08,280
So this is his last chance to win so if you can win this he can become class A in time for the

186
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:10,920
actual tournament

187
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,560
Tai Chi goes to the tournament and wins two rounds

188
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,200
We see him playing briefly, but yeah, he seems to be doing pretty alright

189
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:27,680
In the tournament also Dr. Harada is there too they're like and so is

190
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:31,000
Haroshi because like like their club came

191
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:32,880
and

192
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:39,320
So they're just like hanging out after after a match and all the sudden Tai Chi sees a rada just like from across the room like

193
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,320
He's there at this qualifier

194
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:46,120
And then you know instead of saying something he just doesn't he just doesn't say anything to him

195
00:18:46,120 --> 00:18:47,440
He just looks at him

196
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,160
We cut to Chihaya who is missing from study hall

197
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:55,760
She texts the Tomu that she went on to cheer Tai Chi and so Tomu's like are you serious?

198
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,760
He seems on unimpressed

199
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:05,040
Yes, he tries to guilt trip her like you can't run away from your responsibilities forever

200
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,680
Yeah, yeah, he's about to come through that text message

201
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:13,960
This is a very weird episode in terms of like who's learning what lessons the

202
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:21,400
Arata's coach whose name I didn't write down greets dr. Harada who are like old rivals, but are also friends

203
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,240
in a way that he is not with

204
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,600
the Nishida's advisor guy. I think he just hates that guy

205
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,600
Yes, yes

206
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:30,680
and

207
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,520
Arata and Tai Chi are like, oh, they're like rivals. That's crazy

208
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,320
Because they like both, you know move close to each other when their

209
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:42,520
Mentors are greeting each other still not really greeting each other like their friends

210
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:51,280
The next round start what they would just see those two and like okay rivals can be friends

211
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,080
Let's learn from that

212
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,280
Yeah

213
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,520
The next rounds about to start so they're like oh everybody like make your way into the room

214
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:11,400
In a rod against Tai Chi his contact information and he says give this to Chi Haya and then he taught Tai Chi for not being in class

215
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,920
A he's just like oh, I would have thought you'd have made it by now and then he leaves

216
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,880
Well, basically he says

217
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:19,880
Uh

218
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:29,480
Here here's my contact info. She hi needs any help in class a and then he's like I would have thought you would have been class a by now

219
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:34,440
So give it to her instead or something like that. But yes, it was like

220
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:39,560
Let's just demolish Tai Chi's self as see yeah in one sentence

221
00:20:40,360 --> 00:20:44,600
Yeah, mr. Steel your girl shows up and then taunts you for not being class a it's

222
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,240
It's great. Uh

223
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,120
We cut to Chi Haya who got on the wrong train

224
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,800
She gets a text from to tomu saying that she's running away from studying

225
00:20:54,360 --> 00:20:57,960
But she's like no, but I I'm not just running away from my problems

226
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:02,840
I have to go and cheer on Tai Chi because I don't want him to be alone if he wins or if he loses

227
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,360
Because for the first time she's cared about somebody else in the card club

228
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:11,000
I don't believe it. She has some kind of telepathic way of knowing

229
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,480
Arata is nearby

230
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,480
I think she just doesn't want to study

231
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:16,840
Yeah

232
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:23,000
Um, she shows up late and sees Tai Chi sitting on a bench and she's like oh Tai Chi what round is it?

233
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:28,840
And he's like, uh, I lost in round three. So the tournament's over for me and she's like, oh, I got here late

234
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:30,280
um

235
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,840
Tai Chi then tells her that Arata is playing and she like

236
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:39,080
Walks off towards the class a room in like a daze to go watch him

237
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:42,200
It's crazy

238
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:49,080
Leave bummed out Tai Chi literally devastated. It's as soon as you hear Arata's name

239
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,720
classic

240
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:54,920
Oh, it's awful

241
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:59,800
Yeah, we go into the match Arata is playing against Hiroshi everyone's favorite college boy

242
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,080
Um, Chi Hai is stunned that Arata is here in person

243
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,720
uh, dr. Hirata wins his game early and sees chi haia like

244
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:13,560
Spektating and he like goes um, or and then he sees Tai Chi sitting alone outside and he's like

245
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,760
Something's going on here

246
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:21,560
Chi Hai feels like water watching Arata play like water splashes over the screen

247
00:22:22,360 --> 00:22:25,880
And she's like, ah, he moves like water or something

248
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:31,080
I guess it's in contrast to how shinobu feels like ice or snow or whatever

249
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:33,560
uh just

250
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:34,920
getting

251
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,720
Water elements crazy. Yes

252
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:43,240
Uh, Tai Chi tries not to blame him or not tries not to blame Arata for his loss. He's like it's my fault

253
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:49,000
I could have won. I definitely didn't get psyched out by Arata showing up and telling giving me his number to give to chi haia

254
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,400
And then telling me I suck. That's not why I lost

255
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:58,520
Um, he walks up to chi haia who's watching and chi haia grasps Tai Chi's arm because she's so moved that Arata's come back

256
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:05,400
And they both look at Arata together and tai chi has also moved to tears for some reason because Arata is back

257
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,480
Everyone's favorite boy

258
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,320
uh-huh

259
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,920
Isn't it he's back. He's playing karta. It's like all these years haven't passed

260
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:19,560
Well, I guess maybe it's like, um man last time we saw him. He was so devastated

261
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:25,480
So it's like great to see him out of that dark place. Blah blah blah stuff like that

262
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:32,120
Karta has brought us all together again so we can have the worst friend vibes I've ever seen in any show

263
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,000
Really?

264
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,000
the worst

265
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,640
Well, it's like chi haia's pretty bad

266
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:46,200
In la la land unaware of the friction between the two that she is causing

267
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,800
And then they're just like I don't uh god

268
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:56,200
I don't think any of these people have ever had like a normal friend before

269
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,560
I think they think this is what friendship is anyway. Um

270
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,440
Despite the fact that Arata is here Hiroshi wins it in nail biter like real

271
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:10,600
He got like he just kind of guessed on the card and won because it was down to like three cards. So

272
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,200
Um, he wins he hates playing Arata by the way

273
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:19,560
Uh, he was pretty nervous and was obviously I guess intimidated by Arata or just did not like the way he played

274
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,200
He's like this man. I hated this match this match was bad

275
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:26,760
Well, it's probably just stressful because it's like not a given and like

276
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:33,880
Because this would probably be the first time he's played against Arata. I would imagine. Oh, yeah, he probably have to right?

277
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:35,960
um

278
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:40,520
So, yeah, I don't know maybe well, we've never seen a full we've never

279
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:45,720
We've never witnessed either of our characters that we can hear inside their heads really like

280
00:24:46,360 --> 00:24:48,360
go in a full match against him to

281
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,160
demonstrate what it is. It's so crazy and

282
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:56,600
Aquatic about his card. That's true. Yeah, we don't really know. We kind of just see him play

283
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,200
I guess it makes sense that like all the class a people would kind of

284
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,760
Probably have played or like know about everybody because there's probably not that many of them

285
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,560
Yeah, but he like

286
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:14,200
Played as soon as he hit class a because he like came home from getting class a and then his grandpa died

287
00:25:14,360 --> 00:25:17,080
And then he stopped playing for 18 months. I think they say so

288
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:21,960
So no one in class a has played against him probably yeah, I mean he he ranked up

289
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,880
When that happened right like the map where he ranked up is the one where yeah

290
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,680
So he hasn't probably had any class a matches

291
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:30,280
no

292
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:31,560
um

293
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:38,600
Uh, let's see. Uh, erotic gets all fiery despite being the water guy when he loses and watch and walks over to see tai chi

294
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:41,960
Tai chi's like do better next time man

295
00:25:42,360 --> 00:25:48,200
Hiroshi's our ace. He's no way he would lose to you a guy who stopped playing for like a year and a half

296
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,760
But he does it in like a friendly way where he like

297
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,360
Playfully punches his shoulder or something

298
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,240
The vibes are bad

299
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:02,840
Uh, chi haia is feverishly scribbling down notes on arata's game. Um

300
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,800
arata's like, oh wow. Hey

301
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,560
What's up? Uh, she grabs arata's like shirt like the hem of his shirt

302
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:15,640
It like drags him down on the floor with her and then she bows to him while imagining shinobu

303
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,840
I didn't understand this. She's now in love with shinobu

304
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,400
Dude imagine

305
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,520
Here comes our urie hope train

306
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,520
Just like the worst

307
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:33,640
Even worse vibe from her just like let's see if we could just like construct the worst

308
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,440
Romantic relationship we can

309
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:37,320
um

310
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:38,440
God

311
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,240
Yeah, I guess she's bowing to her superiors. I didn't really

312
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,200
Is that what she's doing? I don't

313
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:50,520
I don't know. I thought it's because she's like crying or something and hiding. I don't know

314
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,120
Whatever we can't we can't analyze what chi haia's

315
00:26:54,120 --> 00:26:57,080
Motivations are because she just makes no sense

316
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,640
Yeah, it's something like that. I mean, I guess it's the way you bow at the end of a match or something

317
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,800
Uh, he's like, wow, we're not even playing a game and you're like in the zone. I can see it in your eyes

318
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,800
You're like locked in

319
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:12,760
Um, they share a moment together while taijutsu stands there and watches it's brutal

320
00:27:14,120 --> 00:27:16,120
My boy gets destroyed this episode

321
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,680
taijutsu takes the

322
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:22,040
Trophy for most pitiful character we've covered so far

323
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,040
Uh, it's pretty bad

324
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:26,200
This is like

325
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,200
Kaze hiya getting rejected

326
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:33,240
Yeah from like the most obvious confession he gave to somebody because she didn't understand it

327
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,320
um

328
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:39,240
The moment fortunately is interrupted by kana who shows up and she's like chi haia

329
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:43,240
You can't just ditch studying everybody wanted to come cheer on tai chi, but we didn't because we're like

330
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:45,960
We care about school

331
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,280
Um, so she drags her off

332
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:52,760
Uh, everybody has to go home tai chi gives irada the contact info back to him and he's like

333
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:56,360
Dude, just give chi haia your contact information like yourself, man

334
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,120
And irada's like, oh

335
00:27:58,120 --> 00:28:03,320
Well, I would have done that but I didn't know if you guys were dating or not and tai chi's like

336
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,040
Oh, that's thoughtful, but also we're not dating

337
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,680
This was weird

338
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:14,680
Why would I understand it's a demonstration what it's trying to what it's trying to say

339
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,160
Um, the art is into her

340
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:19,880
but that like

341
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:26,680
I well all tai chi would have like child tai chi would have lied and said yeah, we're dating to get him off the scent

342
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:28,920
um

343
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:30,920
but

344
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:36,360
What's what's your hang up about it? Well adult adult tai chi can't say that because he's demasculated by

345
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,040
irada for being a harder than him. Um

346
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:42,840
I

347
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:47,640
This harkens back to tai chi's like, oh chi haia belongs to but we both think chi haia belongs to

348
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:53,320
I can't just give her her contact information without her boyfriend knowing or that might be bad

349
00:28:54,520 --> 00:29:00,120
Weird it's it's it's uh paternalistic in a way. Maybe this is another way to

350
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:05,800
Cut down tai chi by being like, oh, you're not even though you have all this time with her

351
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,520
Just get him to say it out loud

352
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:12,840
It does suggest that he would not talk to her if

353
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,640
She was dating tai chi

354
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:21,800
No, no, it's just that like oh it'd be too bold to give your number to some a girl who's

355
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:23,720
already

356
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,720
in a relationship

357
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,000
That would make sense to me if they weren't already emailing

358
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:34,120
That's true. Why just why not email her your phone number?

359
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,240
My god, you should just email her her phone number

360
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,360
Hmm again, I get what we're doing here. I just think it's bad

361
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,560
Okay, what else we got?

362
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:48,680
Uh, let's see kana drills chi haia on the train home. Chi haia thinks about how

363
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,960
Irada is like the the tale of genji

364
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,720
He's genji in the tale of genji because she's like doing literature or something

365
00:29:56,280 --> 00:30:00,440
Which is a journey about a guy going on a journey just like irada went on a journey and then came back

366
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,160
He's just like genji

367
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:09,160
Is this a character you're familiar with no, I don't know very little about the tale of genji other than just like a famous story

368
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,040
I just think it's funny

369
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,040
that she thinks this

370
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:15,880
she um

371
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:19,160
So anyway, she'll memorize that story. That's yeah, that's true

372
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:26,600
Um, then she thinks about how watching irada play was like gulping down soft water and i'm like you cannot

373
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,400
Say that out loud. I mean she didn't she thought it

374
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,400
She's here

375
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:40,600
But she was like bro keep taking gulps or something and I was like oh my oh, she's like it was like warm water gulping it all down

376
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:44,600
You gotta work on your word choice girl

377
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:52,520
Let's see uh, chi haia makes it back to school and she sheepishly apologizes for uh to satomu for running off on her own

378
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:54,600
Satomu asks if tite she's doing okay

379
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:59,880
Since he spends a bunch of time on karda while also keeping up with his studies and everything because he's the perfect boy

380
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:04,680
And then he's like you know chi haia sometimes you gotta do things you don't want to and chi haia agrees

381
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:09,320
And then she gets back to cramming for her tests because she has learned that sometimes you have to do things

382
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:12,680
You don't want to do in order to do the things you do want to do

383
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,400
Because she's a child

384
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:23,400
Uh at the train station dr. Irada asks tite she if you want to see him

385
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,400
What oh i said from dr. Irada

386
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,200
uh dr. Irada

387
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:29,960
um

388
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:34,840
Dr. Irada actually asks tite she if he wants him to be promoted

389
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:40,840
Um for his two second place wins already so that he can be class a and play with irada and chi haia

390
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:42,600
uh

391
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:47,640
tite she pauses for a moment and then he laughs saying that he's more focused on not running away

392
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:50,280
than making it to class a

393
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:55,400
Uh, which is I guess a reference to the fact that he always quits everything if he's not

394
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,320
The best at it or if he's not instantly good at it. So he wants to stick with something

395
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:01,400
yeah

396
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:02,520
um

397
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,480
I wish also. I feel like if he skipped then

398
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:07,640
Uh

399
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,640
He'd be even lower and chi haia's eyes

400
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:14,520
Because like uh, she made it doing it through class just winning and then he didn't

401
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:21,800
Uh, or he'd be or irada like he's losing by not getting to it the way they did

402
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,000
Yeah, I mean, I think he wants to be an equal. Um

403
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:33,240
But I think his specific word choice of not running away. I mean it's it's mirroring how you know chi haia is not running away from studying or whatever

404
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:37,080
Um, isn't referenced him sticking through something. It's hard

405
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,840
She did though, right? There's just nothing to run to well

406
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:45,560
She's not going to now and she's gonna get away because chi haia gets away with everything. Yeah. Yep. Yeah

407
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:53,080
Yeah, I wish I wish they talked more about this like I wish this was they spent more time on this being tai chi's dilemma of like

408
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,320
Like I wish he would have thought about quitting a couple times earlier than this moment. You know what I mean

409
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,080
Like I want this to be a little bit more of a payoff

410
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:07,400
Just him saying he doesn't want to run away anymore because because from what we have seen he has never run away from anything

411
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:09,640
well

412
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:13,560
He's running away. Well, right. He stopped playing karda earlier

413
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:19,640
He also stopped hanging out with chi haia. Well, she like went to a different school. I think to get away from

414
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:25,480
Her at the time in middle school. So he's kind of running away from that situation

415
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:27,640
um

416
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,200
And then it was reluctant to rejoin karda

417
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:32,920
I thought he went to a different school because it was a better school

418
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:37,640
Oh, well, maybe but I feel like he came back to me

419
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:43,880
Uh, when I came back because the high school he's going to now is not like a good school or a

420
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,760
Like fancy school because she was surprised he wasn't going to a better school

421
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:53,080
Yeah, but I think he said that that's like an hour and a half away or something. Yeah

422
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:58,360
I guess to be super cared up if that was what he cared about though. He would have done it again

423
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,120
I get I wish they would say this out loud like I wish I wouldn't have to guess

424
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,040
What he's running away from or what he has ran away from in the past

425
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:12,440
Hmm like we've had 20 episodes you could have made a couple scenes where they talk about this more explicitly

426
00:34:13,240 --> 00:34:15,560
Yeah, I guess we don't really dwell

427
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:18,920
on anything for very long

428
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,840
Outside of like karda related dilemmas

429
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,680
Yeah, we kind of just gesture at the drama stuff instead of actually doing it

430
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:29,320
Which is kind of a bummer

431
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:32,120
Anyway, we have one more scene and then this episode ends

432
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:38,760
Uh, we get a scene where arata is asleep in a car. Then we cut to chi haia thinking to herself to gulp it all down

433
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:44,200
In relation to arata as we cut to credits. This is where she says gulp it all down. You cannot say this

434
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:45,720
Nope. Nope. Nope

435
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:51,320
Without because it doesn't like have the context in it either at that point. It's just she just thinks it

436
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:57,080
Um, well, it's because it cuts from arata to her saying that so like it's you know, it's doing that

437
00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:02,120
Why are we gulping you cannot be gulping arata? It's only episode 20

438
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:06,520
Dear goodness gracious, you know what? I'm thinking looking

439
00:35:07,240 --> 00:35:08,440
or

440
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,200
reflecting on this now

441
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,200
so I feel like

442
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:16,600
chi haia is in arata and then arata and tai chi are both in chi haia

443
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,960
but it's very clear tai chi is more willing to like

444
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:26,040
Make sure he has time with her and like supports her whereas arata is like barely even there

445
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:31,320
So like I feel like the story's surely it's going to be like he doesn't deserve to be a chi haia

446
00:35:31,720 --> 00:35:33,720
the way tai chi does

447
00:35:33,720 --> 00:35:36,680
Maybe but like how the hell do we get chi haia to look at tai chi?

448
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:40,920
I'm like, I think in the end shortly she ends up with tai chi, right?

449
00:35:41,720 --> 00:35:43,720
I don't think so. I mean this is the thing

450
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:50,440
She doesn't seem interested in tai chi at all and like this is why I keep being like the tai chi thing being like

451
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:51,480
Oh, I don't want to run away

452
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:56,200
It's like the thing we've seen him do most in the show is pursue chi haia and he is not run away from that ever

453
00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:00,520
He is the most persistent in in light of reality

454
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:04,600
It's the manga career gonna be that cruel to tai chi like

455
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,480
He's clearly the one

456
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:09,960
like there for her

457
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:14,680
Arata barely gives her anything and that's enough for her to like go off of

458
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:17,960
But like she's not fries

459
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:19,960
She's not like the effort

460
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:29,960
I don't think there's gonna be any

461
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:36,520
I think it's gonna end like I feel like I can picture the last scene of season three with her

462
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,000
Like we did it guys

463
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,760
I made queen or whatever and it's like she's holding both their arms as they kind of

464
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:45,480
Look at each other and then it says

465
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:47,320
the end

466
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,480
That's how I picture the same thing. Oh, okay

467
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,560
Like the worst way the worst vibes

468
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,760
Um, these people are not friends with each other

469
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,600
No, no tai chi and arata are not friends with each other

470
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:05,080
I don't think chi haia and arata are really friends with each other all that much. Oh, and I am more

471
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,120
uh, they're like used to be friends

472
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,280
And tai chi does not have friendship feelings towards her

473
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,320
And she may think he does but he does not

474
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:17,320
Not only friends here

475
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,200
Are the other three

476
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:26,600
I guess she didn't tai chi they're friends. Well tai chi and chi haia are friends. There's just why he's friend zoned

477
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:29,880
He's in the friend zone. Oh no

478
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:35,560
She doesn't even know she put him there. She doesn't she doesn't know that anything besides a friend can exist

479
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:37,640
I don't think she she knows what friendship is

480
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:40,840
She's like friendship is when you play karta with each other

481
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:44,920
All right, all right you want to go to verse 21

482
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:46,680
Yep

483
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:54,920
Verse 21 is called as my sleeves are wet with dew we open on chi haia finishing up her exams the master qualifiers in three days

484
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,360
Uh during practice chi haia tries to think

485
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:04,440
Like warm water just like arata tai chi thinks that she got all fired up from seeing arata and is jealous

486
00:38:05,240 --> 00:38:10,360
While practicing satomu nishida and kana realize that tai chi is reading poems randomly from memory

487
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:15,080
So he's not even referencing or drawing any cards. They're all like that's crazy saying

488
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,760
Oh, you gotta remember which one series sad

489
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:23,880
100 poems

490
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:25,880
He's so good at everything

491
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:26,840
Uh

492
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,400
Nishida says his memory is his strength and his weakness

493
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:33,720
He's so left-brained that he can't get into the game with his mind and his body

494
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:38,360
And tai chi's like well that sounds dumb, but also I am kind of slow

495
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,360
Oh

496
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:44,680
Uh while going home chi haia's teacher tells her that she passed all of her exams

497
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:49,320
So she can go to the qualifiers and won't have to be held back because that was a mistake from last episode

498
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:51,480
I forgot to mention. Oh, yeah

499
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,200
Everyone's happy for her

500
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:59,880
It's the qualifiers. We're there chi haia isn't gonna wear a hakamah because it's gonna be hot as hell in that room

501
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:06,600
We learned that nishida and uh nishida kana and satomu's society leader has a grudge against dr. Harada

502
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,160
They like actually hate each other. They are not friendly rivals

503
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:14,840
Um sudo's here also and he sucks. We learned that you can get a card of scholarship though from him

504
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,440
So chi haia's like oh you get a scholarship from being good at karta

505
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:20,200
Um

506
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:26,360
Then he taunts chi haia and they make a bet that whoever loses first has to shave their head because we are now in the gendered

507
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:31,400
Part of the tournament where you only play against the same gender so they can't play each other

508
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:33,480
Um everyone's like chi haia

509
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:37,640
That's a terrible bet because it's way worse if a girl loses that and she's like oh, I didn't even think about that

510
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,040
So I guess that's the stakes

511
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:42,520
Good grief

512
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:48,840
It's round one and nishida is playing ginsudo while chi haia is playing a sixth grade child prodigy named ririka

513
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,000
She's tiny and nice

514
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,520
Uh both dr. Harada and haroshi get a buy in the first round

515
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:56,600
So they were watching when the match with the rest of the crew

516
00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:00,840
Uh haroshi comments that may be telling chi haia not to focus on speed was a mistake

517
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,720
Since she could probably use the speed when playing this tiny child

518
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:09,080
Play starts and ririka is really quick hitting the cards with her child body. She's so light

519
00:40:09,720 --> 00:40:14,040
Uh, even though she doesn't have reach, but whatever, you know, she can make up word by being tiny

520
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:20,520
We learned from her mother that ririka likes karta because she used to have big ears that she was embarrassed by

521
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:24,200
But now she can use those big ears to hear really well. So it's like oh

522
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,240
I like feel good about myself because it makes me good at this game now

523
00:40:27,240 --> 00:40:32,680
Uh chi haia is trying to use strategy. So she moves back a bit much to tichy surprise

524
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:38,840
Um, then she takes a card using proper syllable timing and is excited because she's doing it. She's using strategy

525
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,200
Uh, she keeps playing using technical speed instead of super speed

526
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:43,960
um

527
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:50,440
This match is the exact inverse of chi haia's game against kanai a couple episodes ago with ririka moving too quick and faulting

528
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:55,640
All the spectators are like dang. Who's that chick beating ririka using normal ass strategy?

529
00:40:55,640 --> 00:41:00,440
Dr. Herata mouths to chi haia that it's time for her to turn her speed on because we're getting to end game

530
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:06,040
And she moves up closer to the cards ririka's like uh-oh something's happening as chi haia takes a card

531
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:08,520
using her super fast speed

532
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:11,480
ririka starts losing and is pushed uh close to tears

533
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:17,480
But she hangs in there and finishes the match ririka's mom thinks that she just wants her daughter to find something that she loves to do

534
00:41:17,720 --> 00:41:19,720
And something that will help her like herself

535
00:41:19,720 --> 00:41:25,240
Ririka loses and dr. Herata comments that chi haia is going to need more tools in her toolkit if she's going to take on tougher opponents

536
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:29,960
Ririka thanks chi haia for the game and then draws a four-leaf clover on her hand as a good luck charm

537
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:34,840
She goes to leave but over here's some people commenting that she was a disappointment for a prodigy

538
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:40,680
Uh, but then chi haia like bursts out of the room and yells something to like disperse all their chatter chocolate feels better

539
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,000
Yeah, she

540
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:45,640
Um, and then ririka runs off to her mom

541
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:52,520
Tai Chi texts arata and update over at arata's qualifier. He learns that the best guy in his car to society lost in the first round

542
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:54,920
He goes to see that guy who's smoking a cigarette

543
00:41:55,400 --> 00:42:01,800
Uh, he tells or that guy tells arata that he's got to be the big dog now and trying to beat the master whose name is

544
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:03,720
so he

545
00:42:03,720 --> 00:42:05,000
Hisashi

546
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:09,880
Um arata thinks about how he used to look up to this guy, but now he's surpassed him

547
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:15,960
Then he reads tai chi's text and gets one inspiration point as we cut to credits

548
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:25,720
Mm-hmm, uh, man, it's very car-doll-esque episode chi haia beats a child car

549
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:34,280
Get it destroy that girl. We really uh, just turn around and did the inverse of the kanai match, huh?

550
00:42:35,240 --> 00:42:37,240
Mm-hmm, just like immediately

551
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:39,800
Oh

552
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:41,160
goodness

553
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:44,200
Yeah, so right arata only talks to tai chi's

554
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:46,920
Can you really like to hire that much?

555
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:51,480
Maybe he's like god that girl's kind of a weirdo

556
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:57,080
I like showed her car to one day and now she's like a psycho going crazy for it and me

557
00:42:57,640 --> 00:42:59,480
What's wrong with her?

558
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:01,480
yeah, uh

559
00:43:01,720 --> 00:43:03,240
I don't know

560
00:43:03,240 --> 00:43:08,200
Weird it doesn't really seem like a thing. He did well. I guess it would be a thing. He did following the last episode. I don't know

561
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,120
Um

562
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:13,160
Hey, uh should really could just be the protagonist of this show

563
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:17,800
Yeah, you said you wanted to spin off series about her

564
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:19,480
Yeah, because this is the thing I want

565
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:23,080
It's like oh she feels bad about her big ears because it's like they're not attractive

566
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:27,160
But then she finds that there's a use for form in this game that she loves and now she gets to play this game

567
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:29,240
And it makes her feel good about herself. Isn't that nice?

568
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:33,880
But enough for an entire show. I mean it's not but it's something

569
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:38,760
It's more than what she hired maybe she just gets like a little bonus app for her

570
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:43,720
Yeah, I don't I need like a I need like a ririkus side story. I need her to do well

571
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,920
I love ririkus. She's she's just got a four leaf clover. She's the sixth grader

572
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:53,240
She's got her her she's branded it as her lucky

573
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:55,080
shape

574
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,400
Four leaf clover that's existed forever

575
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:01,560
Um, this is a cute episode. Uh, yeah

576
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:03,560
Yeah, I would die in that room

577
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:11,800
I I would rip that window open from the inside. It's not even getting as hot as it's gonna be next episode. Everyone's gonna be over heating

578
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:18,760
But yeah, every three forward episode. We're just she has learned the kanai strategy

579
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:24,760
I guess or like she does it she does half of it and then when we get to end game then she goes super speed mode

580
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:26,840
That's what she's doing

581
00:44:27,240 --> 00:44:30,280
Although dr. Harada is like oh she's gonna need more than that later on

582
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,280
Which was kind of a weird thing to say

583
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:34,360
But I don't know what else she's gonna get

584
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:38,040
She simply needs to use that tiny brain of hers

585
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:45,080
It's just like all she has to do is like not even perfect other techniques, but at least have them in her arsenal

586
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:48,040
She's just too stupid to learn anything new

587
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:50,840
Yeah, the one thing she still hasn't done

588
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:56,440
Which I guess kanai was doing was like she doesn't really pay attention to like what her opponent's doing and like rearrange cards

589
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:58,920
To like affect that I guess

590
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:04,600
Or at least we don't see her do at this episode. So yeah, that's that's still a thing she can do

591
00:45:05,240 --> 00:45:07,240
Yeah, we're gonna learn a new technique

592
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:09,640
and

593
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:11,640
I have a lot of things to say about the next episode

594
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:18,040
All right. Well, this is a good episode. This is the best episode of the three. I think um, yeah, yeah because we were because cute

595
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:20,360
And it's a good time

596
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:23,400
Verse 22 is called just as my beauty has faded

597
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:29,000
We open on she very relevant. Sorry. Uh, yeah, no that one doesn't make sense

598
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:33,320
That one makes sense. Yeah, a good good title. We finally got a title that matches

599
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:35,000
um

600
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,720
We open on she hire rushing to tell dr. Harada that she's gonna play

601
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:43,400
Yumi Yamamoto next and he's like yumi Yamamoto. That's unbelievable and she's like, yeah

602
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:46,360
I didn't think I'd be playing against yumi Yamamoto and taiji's like

603
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:52,200
Who's that and dr. Harada tells us that yumi was the previous queen before shinobu

604
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:57,480
They set up for the match. Uh, we get an internal monologue from yumi as she comments that this is like

605
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:02,600
Um, or that she's playing against shihaia who's very pretty unlike her who's super plain

606
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:09,480
She also wonders why she even entered this tournament again. She's like, why am I doing this? This is like god. I gotta do this again

607
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:17,800
Uh, shihaia notices that yumi's card poles are all uh syllable counts that she can attack very easily

608
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:19,800
So like they're lower syllable counts

609
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:22,280
Um, so chihaia can go crazy

610
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:26,440
She thinks back to when she watched yumi win the queen title on tv years ago

611
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:31,240
She doesn't really remember like how she played or anything, but she didn't remember that she was very tenacious

612
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:35,240
We learned that yumi is actually a member of nishida's car at a club

613
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:39,320
Uh, satomu and kana have only seen her a few times because she's an adult with a job

614
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:42,120
So their schedules don't like overlap like they don't play at the same time

615
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:49,400
Um, so they don't know anything about her taiji's like, hey nishida, you know yumi and he ignores it because apparently he's traumatized

616
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:53,000
From losing to sudo last game by 20 cards

617
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:58,200
Uh taiji's like, yeah, man, that's cool. I sorry you lost anyway. Uh, you know what?

618
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:00,840
You know this yumi yumi modochik

619
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,640
There goes chihaia's hair man

620
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:05,880
Bye bye

621
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:07,560
Sorry, i'm having internet

622
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:08,760
Hiccup

623
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:10,520
You continue on

624
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:11,560
Okay

625
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:17,160
Yeah, taiji's like, you know this yumi yumi modochik needs is like oh human her? Yeah, she's stubborn to persist it

626
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:20,520
She had like a ship but she had to chill out after becoming queen though

627
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:24,120
And then his coach drags him off because he's like listen you got to cheer for the squad

628
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:27,640
You got to cheer for yumi because she's on the team stop cheering for chihaia

629
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:30,120
Some person who isn't part of our karta society

630
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:34,680
Uh back in the playroom. It's like heating up literally like it's really hot in there

631
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:37,560
Um, the windows are fogging up and everyone's sweating

632
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:42,280
Uh in the match it's clear that yumi knows her game, but chihaia is able to keep up pretty well

633
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:47,720
Yumi thinks about how chihaia is a high schooler just like shinobu and then we learn that after 10 years of playing

634
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:52,280
Yumi only got to be queen for one single year until shinobu showed up and beat her

635
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:58,680
Yumi starts to falter um thinking about this and chihaia thinks that maybe she's lost her passion for karta

636
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:02,520
Nishida thinks about how ever since uh that ever since she lost to shinobu

637
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:05,000
She's been getting worse and worse and seems unmotivated

638
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:09,560
Nishida comments is that she seems tired of not meeting everyone's expectations

639
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:13,000
Chihaia thinks she has a chance to beat a former queen and turns on speed mode

640
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:16,200
Um, and she starts to go on a tear. She takes like five cards in a row

641
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:20,520
The room is so hot the spectator windows are fogging up completely. Um

642
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:24,840
Kana is depressed that nobody in class a seems to be enjoying the poetry

643
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:28,760
But then she hears the speaker read some poetry and is like, ah, how beautiful

644
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:31,320
And sitomu comments that the card reader is really good

645
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:36,120
And also it's a position that you need to like apply for and has ranks and you can rank up and stuff

646
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:40,120
So maybe that's a thing she could do in the future. He doesn't say this. I'm saying this

647
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:47,320
Yumi thinks to herself that playing passionately is a double-edged sword right before chihaia messes up the chihaia food record and double faults

648
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:52,600
Yumi recognizes this as the moment chihaia will lose her momentum and that she can stage a comeback

649
00:48:53,240 --> 00:48:57,400
Just then Nishida's karta manager opens the window and yells at the guys uh

650
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:00,360
Inside to wipe the freaking windows down so they can see

651
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:06,280
They yell at him to close the window and then he yells at yumi to play her own karta giving her one inspiration point

652
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:11,800
This however also inspires pretty much everybody else in the room though. So I guess it all cancels out

653
00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:17,320
Yumi thinks about how she's just a challenger again. It doesn't need to act like a former queen if she doesn't want to

654
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:20,040
chihaia takes a card from yumi and yumi immediately

655
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:22,760
Contests a claiming that she actually touched it first

656
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:25,560
Since there's clearly no judge or anything

657
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:30,920
They just have to talk it out and chihaia just kind of gives it to her because she's passive. So she's like, yeah

658
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:33,160
Sure

659
00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:35,160
spineless

660
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:38,920
Yeah, just a crazy

661
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:40,280
um

662
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:43,560
Nishida notes that this is yumi's strategy. She can test close cards very stubbornly

663
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:47,720
Um, she had to stop doing this when she became a queen because it wasn't proper

664
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:51,080
Or something like it's not good for the image

665
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:55,080
So she keeps calling but then she keeps calling chihaia on various rules as they keep playing

666
00:49:55,560 --> 00:50:00,040
Yumi starts to play way better and chihaia thinks that she was arrogant for thinking that she could win handedly

667
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:03,560
Play continues and yumi starts pulling ahead while chihaia is falling apart

668
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:08,280
Yumi wins by four cards a stun chihaia stares at the field as we cut to credits

669
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:10,440
Your internet better now?

670
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:11,560
Yeah

671
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:13,160
Okay

672
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:15,160
seemingly

673
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:15,960
Um

674
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:16,760
Yep

675
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:18,760
Get wrecked chihaia

676
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:25,960
You gotta get over the chihaia card like be able to handle losing that thing

677
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:28,520
That's it does really rest on that

678
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:29,880
Her crypt tonight

679
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:31,880
Yes

680
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:33,400
Ugh good grief

681
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:38,360
Just because such an ego is so vain like uh, it has my name on it

682
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:41,400
I have to have it or else

683
00:50:41,720 --> 00:50:43,720
I'm gonna throw the entire game

684
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:46,680
seemingly

685
00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:47,960
Ugh

686
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:49,960
Her strategy is just to

687
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:52,520
To take dives so the ref calls a penalty

688
00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:55,880
She just she just contests everything

689
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:02,840
But she wasn't allowed to do this because when she was queen that's improper because she has to live up to expectations

690
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:07,160
Um, you don't have to live up to expectations. Yumi you're the queen. That means you could do whatever you want

691
00:51:07,240 --> 00:51:09,240
That's the point of being the queen

692
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:12,520
She's like queen for one year. So I don't know how like

693
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:18,520
If she considers herself a former queen or she's like somehow I got to be queen for a year

694
00:51:19,240 --> 00:51:23,400
Well, this is like the like when the manager yells at her to play her own game

695
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:26,120
He's basically telling her to like stop acting like a former queen

696
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:29,160
Just add just play the way you normally play

697
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:31,080
Hmm

698
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:34,120
Yeah, I don't like her. I don't like her style

699
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,000
Uh, it seems like it was really annoying

700
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:39,000
Yes

701
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:45,640
Also, how is there not a ref? I don't understand how you don't have like you could just sit there and contest and it's just like, okay, but like

702
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:49,160
You don't have instant replay. How are you gonna decide?

703
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:52,120
Yeah, I don't know like do you just

704
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:54,840
right like if you both refuse to

705
00:51:55,960 --> 00:51:57,960
uh, give in

706
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:01,560
Is that when you fall back on the rule of like whoever side it was on?

707
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:06,840
But that's crazy and like how long can you hold up the entire rooms matches

708
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:12,120
With this is why I'm like this works because this is a Japanese game when we were watching this

709
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:14,120
I was like I told you I'm like

710
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:18,360
If this was an American game people would just be like getting into fistfights

711
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:22,760
Stuff we would just be like I don't give a shit if you said you touched it first

712
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:24,760
Who cares?

713
00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:25,960
So what?

714
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:27,960
I have the card in my hand right now

715
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:30,600
Yes, it's

716
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:31,880
A lot

717
00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:33,880
It's an odd strategy

718
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:36,520
Uh, but you know hey it works, you know what?

719
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:39,320
Win through penalties I guess

720
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:40,600
Yeah

721
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:45,400
Yep, now we're these episodes. She's out. She's out of the tournament now. Uh, yeah

722
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:47,880
Isn't gonna get to play so good this time

723
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:50,360
Well, she'll go

724
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:52,920
Yeah, I don't know like

725
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:59,080
Who else do we like have much vested interest in this qualifier now that she's out?

726
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:01,400
Hiroshi

727
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:04,200
Yes, Hiroshi maybe um

728
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:07,080
Because I guess with the qualifiers

729
00:53:07,720 --> 00:53:13,720
Once those are done we'll get to see what the king looks or god. I keep calling king because it's queen

730
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:16,360
Oh, he's the master the freaking master

731
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:20,440
He looks like so down. I can see you too high up

732
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:25,880
It's so obsessed with carder, but like when she was in front of a tv watching the queen match

733
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:27,960
She wasn't paying attention. She did

734
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:29,960
What the hell girl?

735
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:35,160
It's the one thing you like she never pays attention to the actual games. She's just like wow that was crazy

736
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:38,280
This is also years ago when she was like a child so I get it

737
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:45,240
Ah, it was like two years ago. Although you you would think that you would know enough to pay attention

738
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:47,640
Yeah

739
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:48,600
Uh

740
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:50,600
Well, yeah

741
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:52,600
That's the end of the run

742
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:55,080
Ah

743
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:57,400
Yeah, that's a shaver head and let's see. No also lost

744
00:53:57,400 --> 00:54:01,640
They're not gonna they're gonna be too much of cowards to shave her head. They should shave her head

745
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:06,440
There's no way. There's no way. There's no way this show would never do that

746
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:09,080
It's too invested in pretty people

747
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:11,880
Yes

748
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:18,680
But also like why would you honor a bet with sudo that guy just sucks who cares? Yeah. Yeah, there's that like what could you do?

749
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:20,840
As a person whatever

750
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:25,320
Yeah, I don't think any even if you taunt see that

751
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:31,480
She deserves to for how careless she is shave her head. That's true. She did agree

752
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:36,920
She always she never gets held accountable. This is the one thing she should be to teach her

753
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:43,000
That's her. They are kind of although. I don't know. I'm a pretty big like I don't think you need to honor bets against people

754
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:45,000
You don't respect so

755
00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:48,520
Yeah

756
00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:54,440
Like this guy's like a freshman college bullying a freshman in high school not in college yet

757
00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:56,440
Okay, but basically senior

758
00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:58,840
This is embarrassing

759
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:00,920
yes

760
00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:04,200
He just hates pretty people like you me does

761
00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:07,000
Uh, yeah

762
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:09,240
Well, what what do we think is happening now?

763
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:11,240
so

764
00:55:11,240 --> 00:55:16,520
It's too early in the show for her to go against the queen again. I guess well, she just lost too. So she's not going

765
00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:20,760
Yeah, so she can't so I guess that's why I think we're gonna see a rada

766
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:25,560
I think a rada will do well at his thing. Maybe he'll get to play against the master or something. I don't know

767
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:28,040
That seems too early for him though. Yeah

768
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:30,440
He just got back

769
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:35,160
But he's he's hopefully if he fails to then by the time it comes to it again

770
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:37,800
Surely types you will be class A by then

771
00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:43,800
Yeah, I'm sure by next year. I mean, I'm assuming that's like season two is probably year two and season three is probably year three

772
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:45,640
um

773
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:47,640
I don't know that would make sense

774
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:50,840
I think both season two and three might be year two

775
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:56,600
Oh, okay. I can't quite remember but they're definitely not third years if I remember

776
00:55:57,320 --> 00:55:59,320
Well, I say can't remember

777
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:01,080
so

778
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:02,840
So after watching

779
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:06,120
The first seven episodes of IQ and thinking a lot about sports anime

780
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:08,200
uh-huh

781
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:09,720
I think

782
00:56:09,720 --> 00:56:11,320
The problem

783
00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:13,000
I have

784
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:15,640
Which hi furu and maybe just all sports anime

785
00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:20,120
Is that I just don't you kind of just have to buy into the central premise

786
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:25,240
I got that like the sport like karda is is

787
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:28,680
good and important on its own

788
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:33,320
Like playing playing the sport is good and quitting the sport is bad

789
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:40,040
Yes, because the only way wanting it to be more like angelic layer where like the game

790
00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:41,640
is a

791
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:43,960
Vector that gets you a thing you want, right?

792
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:47,160
Because in that show it's very much like by playing this game

793
00:56:47,240 --> 00:56:51,800
I am able to feel better about myself or I'm able to reconnect with my mom or I'm able to

794
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:58,040
Make friends or those things like the game serves as a tool to do those things

795
00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:01,960
Whereas in these the game is an end onto itself, right?

796
00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:04,920
like I'm sitting here complaining that

797
00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:10,280
You know tai chi and ira and chi hai are not actually friends because they don't do anything besides

798
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:15,080
Play karda once in a while, but in this in the world of chi hai a furu

799
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:21,240
They are friends specifically because they play karda together like there doesn't need to be anything else to convince you

800
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:23,080
That's good enough

801
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:24,120
Yeah

802
00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:31,000
And I guess I just have to buy into that or I got I just like I have to just be okay with that's the universe of this of this show

803
00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:35,000
Yeah, just be along for the ride

804
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:41,880
I enjoy the good parts don't overthink the bad like you mean apply castler supposed to you

805
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:44,440
in this episode

806
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:49,640
Loses her passion or like maybe loses her passion and that's a bad thing and the solution for her is not to

807
00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:56,360
Seek meaning in other parts of her life or do other things. It's to play karda better. It's to play her own version, right?

808
00:57:56,840 --> 00:58:01,080
Which can be like, you know, I mean that's she's being herself. She doesn't need to live up to other people's expectations

809
00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:06,840
That's actually good. Like I think these two episodes with re-re-cut being like, oh, I can use karda like myself more

810
00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:08,680
and you me being like

811
00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:14,520
I can express who I am. I can like be my authentic self playing this game. I think both of that stuff is good

812
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:16,360
um

813
00:58:16,360 --> 00:58:18,360
but it's it's

814
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:24,440
Interesting how the side characters get this and not the main characters so far because I can't find

815
00:58:25,240 --> 00:58:28,040
Like tight. She's the only person who really has a character arc right now

816
00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:30,040
Hmm

817
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:35,480
Like she is all about how does she get better at karda, right? Which is you know, again, that's a that's a character arc

818
00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:37,400
for the

819
00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:40,040
For the sport because this is about playing karda

820
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:45,160
It doesn't have anything to do with her like as a person that much other than like I guess she learns that she needs to not

821
00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:48,120
avoid doing difficult things like studying

822
00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:51,240
Yeah, well, I don't know that she

823
00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:55,480
We'll see if she ever studies ever again in this show

824
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:57,480
I don't think it's a long

825
00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:01,480
Uh

826
00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:03,480
Lesson she'll remember forever

827
00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:07,480
Yeah, but I just need to be okay with that because you know, I'm very much like I like it when

828
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:11,960
You know the sport is one aspect of your life, but there are all these other things going on

829
00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:17,560
You know, you have to like I'm very surprised in this show how we don't have any of the kind of like

830
00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:21,480
Episode tropes and maybe joke about the beach episode, but like they don't have

831
00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:25,480
The school festival really they just had that one scene where they run that race

832
00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:29,000
They don't have like a new year's festival to go to

833
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:31,640
they don't have

834
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:32,840
like

835
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:34,360
halloween

836
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:40,280
That sometimes they'll have episodes for you know what I mean like they're they're not really doing any of the slice of life stuff in this show

837
00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:42,920
Yeah, um

838
00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:44,920
I'm trying to think if

839
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:51,720
We had the little sports festival brief moment for just the opening of an episode

840
00:59:51,480 --> 00:59:53,480
um

841
00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:55,480
I'm just card is life

842
00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:57,960
Yeah, I mean

843
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:04,440
That is how sports ammys are though. There's never episodes about anything else. So I guess just

844
01:00:05,320 --> 01:00:08,040
Consider this sports show first

845
01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:10,840
Any other stuff second

846
01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:13,800
Yeah by a long

847
01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:14,920
Shot

848
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:20,600
Yeah, I just keep getting hung up on like why do people like this sport and I need to not that I can't be asking that question

849
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:22,600
I just have to already like it

850
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:27,720
You know what I mean like I have to just buy into it and that's that's how I think I am like watching this wrong a little bit

851
01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:29,080
They're not wrong

852
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:34,760
But it I'm not getting into it in the way that I feel like you have gotten into it because I am asking questions like that

853
01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:36,520
yeah

854
01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:37,720
I

855
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:38,840
I guess

856
01:00:38,840 --> 01:00:39,880
I like

857
01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:42,840
sports anime and if there's more that like

858
01:00:42,840 --> 01:00:45,240
We're of the art style. I like

859
01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:48,200
um, I just I like

860
01:00:48,440 --> 01:00:52,120
I feel like sports anime could be really good. I wish there's

861
01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:57,240
They would actually add a few more other elements to it. That's the one thing it's like

862
01:00:57,960 --> 01:01:01,160
Tough to have it all be one thing

863
01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:06,600
Um, but yeah, it's mostly just friendship is the only other secondary thing

864
01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:11,800
Um, but this one is not necessarily a team one. So not every episode is reliant on

865
01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:15,400
The bonds of characters to succeed in the sport

866
01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:17,400
Um

867
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:21,720
Yeah, but I don't need to get the thing that I want which is like I want the episode where they all hang out together

868
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:24,520
Are they all like high five at the end or something like that? You know what I mean?

869
01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:26,920
But it's just not that kind of show

870
01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:28,920
Mm-hmm

871
01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:29,400
Um

872
01:01:29,400 --> 01:01:35,000
I'm also shocked with how I mean, I guess I'm almost we have one more episode. I guess I can save all of my final things for that

873
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:37,000
But up to this point. I'm shocked with how

874
01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:44,600
How slow they're rolling out the romance subplot because that seems like what the show was gonna be about with like the first couple episodes

875
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:52,200
But it's not really until episode 20 where any of that stuff happens or like comes up again and like a rada shows back up briefly to

876
01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:58,040
Taunt Tai Chi but then their friends because their rivals even though they don't play each other

877
01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:00,680
Hmm. Yeah

878
01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:02,680
They're kind of rivals in theory

879
01:02:02,680 --> 01:02:04,680
Yeah

880
01:02:04,920 --> 01:02:06,920
Hmm

881
01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:09,240
I don't know

882
01:02:09,880 --> 01:02:14,280
Let's let's let's get on to this last one. Maybe we can make more sense of it

883
01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:24,280
No, we just did the last one. Yeah, oh you met episode of ours. I'm saying I'm saying we have one more episode until the end of season one

884
01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:26,760
Right, okay

885
01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:30,600
Three more episodes for us. Um, I don't remember what this ends on

886
01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:32,600
I don't know

887
01:02:32,920 --> 01:02:38,040
I mean, maybe we'll get some stuff now now that like there's no more upcoming tournaments that like lead any I mean, maybe they'll watch

888
01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:41,400
So like maybe they'll watch shinobu play somebody. I don't know

889
01:02:41,560 --> 01:02:46,040
I mean, I guess they will because I really don't think they're gonna do hangout times

890
01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:48,360
Maybe one episode will be hangout times

891
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:50,120
um

892
01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:52,120
but I feel like

893
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:53,560
maybe

894
01:02:53,560 --> 01:02:55,320
I remember

895
01:02:55,320 --> 01:03:01,000
One thing about the beginning of season two, I don't remember how much time gets spent on it. Uh,

896
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:06,600
But I imagine the start of a season would be a good time for it to like slow launch again

897
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:11,240
Like the beginning of this season. So maybe we'll get a bit more of that in season two

898
01:03:12,600 --> 01:03:14,680
Whenever we end up covering it

899
01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:16,840
Yeah

900
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:19,320
Uh, but I guess until then do we want to

901
01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:26,840
Uh, there are the episodes. I did not, we, yeah, we didn't, I didn't, we didn't do either of our things because we were doing anime convention, anime convention

902
01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:31,480
Yeah, that's right, let's play our stuff. So we will not have an update for that. Um

903
01:03:32,680 --> 01:03:36,440
We are about to finish off chi haifuru. Our plan is to

904
01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:39,880
Watch another show a different show

905
01:03:40,680 --> 01:03:42,120
Um

906
01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:46,600
In between show joe asked. Yeah, so we'll watch a different show which we'll announce next episode

907
01:03:47,080 --> 01:03:48,520
um

908
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:50,120
and then

909
01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:52,120
We'll come back to

910
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:55,720
chi haifuru season two after that maybe or pretty soon

911
01:03:56,520 --> 01:03:58,520
We're just breaking it up a little bit. Let us know

912
01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:01,160
75 episodes in a row

913
01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:03,960
Yes, how soon you want to hear chi haifuru?

914
01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:06,760

Yeah, we're at the end uh

918
01:04:13,960 --> 01:04:18,840
Of a show so if you have any emails that you want to put in for the first season of this uh go ahead and do that

919
01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:20,920

You can follow us on social media maybe not tick tock anymore

923
01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:36,520
Yeah, we got like five days left. Hmm

To it. It's been a hectic like last month. Yeah with holidays and then you being here and then not and then being here again

Leave us a review. That's it. I'm like what's the other thing I say?

We're gonna be you know, we're gonna be cool about it. Um, if you have anything to say even if you're mean

946
01:06:03,240 --> 01:06:06,680
I'll handle it with grace if you're mean don't be mean

947
01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:11,240
Don't just don't do it. Just rate us five stars and then don't do anything else. Um

948
01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:17,400
You can leave a mean comment in like a review as long as you rate us five stars. That's fine. That's right

949
01:06:18,440 --> 01:06:19,720
Uh

950
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:21,400

01:06:47,320 --> 01:06:53,400
Uh, yeah, I'm pretty excited for it. So hopefully it'll be good. Yes. If not, it'll at least be interesting at the least

958
01:06:53,480 --> 01:06:55,480
It will be interesting

959
01:06:55,480 --> 01:07:00,760
Yes, this is the first show joe has selected for us to watch so

960
01:07:01,240 --> 01:07:07,800
If this podcast takes a nose dive, we know who to play blame and then if it doesn't even better than before then

961
01:07:07,800 --> 01:07:09,800
We know it's all my fault and I should just

962
01:07:10,760 --> 01:07:12,760
Take a hike you can only go one of two ways

963
01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:14,760

01:07:16,520 --> 01:07:28,280
I just contest it. It's fine. Listen. Apparently it works. It's not even like a bad thing to do

966
01:07:29,080 --> 01:07:31,080
Be a Karen

967
01:07:31,080 --> 01:07:33,080
Yeah, just like whatever. What are they gonna do?

968
01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:37,800
Just get really mad at you. Just just contest every call it works

969
01:07:38,040 --> 01:07:41,640
And that's how you wouldn't that's how you become the queen and then when you're the queen just keep doing it again

970
01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:45,000
You don't have to act high and mighty just because you're it's called queen

971
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:51,240
You didn't become the queen by being high and mighty you became the queen by groveled your way there. Yeah

972
01:07:52,040 --> 01:07:56,600
You know devious be devious. It's cool. That's right
