00:00:12.040 --> 00:00:16.280
Welcome to Shoujo, the anime podcast where I,

00:00:16.379 --> 00:00:20.660
Sarah, introduce my good friend Joe to Shoujo

00:00:20.660 --> 00:00:26.940
anime and thus introducing Joe to Shoujo. And

00:00:26.940 --> 00:00:30.800
show Joe. No, I should use hence instead of whatever.

00:00:31.719 --> 00:00:38.939
Henceforth. The brain. I'm feeling frazzled today.

00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:44.740
But yes, I don't. I well, I just finished watching

00:00:44.740 --> 00:00:46.539
the episodes. Basically, I don't know if you

00:00:46.539 --> 00:00:51.140
saw on my Discord, Joe, but I had a car accident

00:00:51.140 --> 00:00:54.869
on. Oh, my God. I did not hear about this. Saturday.

00:00:55.369 --> 00:00:59.369
Luckily, I'm fine. I feel like nicks from my

00:00:59.369 --> 00:01:04.069
window glass busting in, but okay. And now Moxie

00:01:04.069 --> 00:01:08.409
the cat's here to help me keep be focused even

00:01:08.409 --> 00:01:13.569
more. Oh, that's so annoying. I was just I was

00:01:13.569 --> 00:01:17.890
going through this like back road and this lady

00:01:17.890 --> 00:01:21.150
who had stopped at her stop sign, but I guess

00:01:21.150 --> 00:01:24.019
just didn't look to see if anyone was coming,

00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:29.219
like drove in, you know, pulled forward as I

00:01:29.219 --> 00:01:32.780
was going and hit me on my driver's side door.

00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:37.239
Windows shatter. Freaking door doesn't open.

00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:40.400
Yeah, I'm seeing the picture. Oh, my gosh. Yeah.

00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:44.819
So as always, I never like, oh, my God, that

00:01:44.819 --> 00:01:47.980
was scary. I'm like, oh, my God, my car. Look

00:01:47.980 --> 00:01:53.780
what you did to my car. Why are us it's like

00:01:53.780 --> 00:01:55.780
why do I even have a car this car is cursed or

00:01:55.780 --> 00:01:59.340
something I a lady like like it two years ago

00:01:59.340 --> 00:02:04.159
park into my car Like an idiot. What's why are

00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:07.879
there dumbasses everywhere? Yeah, she like my

00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:11.520
mom was getting out of the passenger front door

00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:15.960
and This lady parked into the door as it was

00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:18.560
opening. She like hit my car door as it was opening

00:02:18.830 --> 00:02:22.090
Push it out. It couldn't close. Freaking could

00:02:22.090 --> 00:02:25.430
have hit my mom. And it was like a empty ass

00:02:25.430 --> 00:02:27.930
parking lot. And like, how can you be parked?

00:02:28.069 --> 00:02:31.569
How can you be parking so fast that like it like

00:02:31.569 --> 00:02:36.270
makes the whole car shake? I'm like bad. I'm

00:02:36.270 --> 00:02:39.650
a garage holder. So you bet. I remember her name

00:02:39.650 --> 00:02:42.169
and now I'm going to remember this lady's name.

00:02:42.889 --> 00:02:46.449
When drivers of Austin are out to get my. Wonderful

00:02:46.449 --> 00:02:50.810
car. And I won't forget it. So now I got to deal

00:02:50.810 --> 00:02:54.629
with all that annoying crap of like, well, and

00:02:54.629 --> 00:02:57.050
don't worry, I got her on video admitting it

00:02:57.050 --> 00:03:01.569
was her fault. So I'm stupid ass. Our shirts

00:03:01.569 --> 00:03:05.789
try be like, oh, it's your fault somehow, even

00:03:05.789 --> 00:03:08.770
though it's clearly not. So I'm like prepared.

00:03:09.189 --> 00:03:14.669
That's good. Yep. So just good. So annoying.

00:03:14.990 --> 00:03:17.669
Well, at least you took care of it. Handled it

00:03:17.669 --> 00:03:22.009
like a pro. Well, no, I cried. OK, well, you

00:03:22.009 --> 00:03:25.389
know, you did get hit by a car. And then because

00:03:25.389 --> 00:03:27.650
I had gone to meet my mom's sister for lunch,

00:03:27.770 --> 00:03:30.430
so I told them and they came and met. And then

00:03:30.430 --> 00:03:34.050
the lady asked my mom if I was a new driver.

00:03:34.610 --> 00:03:38.449
Oh, God, because I was crying like I was 19 or

00:03:38.449 --> 00:03:40.930
something. I'll just take it as a compliment

00:03:40.930 --> 00:03:44.939
that I look young. Yeah, you look young. Oh,

00:03:45.219 --> 00:03:50.240
God. Yeah. So and I finally settled and I'm like

00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:55.120
just I'm so tired and just like I'm like settling

00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:58.060
on a very basic name for this dog. I just couldn't

00:03:58.060 --> 00:04:00.780
exert the brain power to think of a better name.

00:04:00.780 --> 00:04:05.199
So her name is Pepper. I'm so basic. That's cute

00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:07.800
though. Pepper. I know. It's not like Spot or

00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:12.360
something, you know. No, no. Yep. So I got that

00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:17.670
settled. My my new supervisor gone now had a

00:04:17.670 --> 00:04:23.110
lovely week. She's great. Super excited. Had

00:04:23.110 --> 00:04:27.629
had work interview yesterday, so I'm just work

00:04:27.629 --> 00:04:31.769
wise. Things are going great. That's good. Life

00:04:31.769 --> 00:04:35.810
wise, man. How about you, Joe? Hopefully you

00:04:35.810 --> 00:04:39.370
have a more positive. Last weekend, I went to

00:04:39.370 --> 00:04:41.490
a wedding or I guess this last weekend, I went

00:04:41.490 --> 00:04:44.519
to a wedding in Louisville. Kentucky, so I had

00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:48.540
to drive down there and I was like the DD at

00:04:48.540 --> 00:04:51.680
all of the events because I had a car. Nice.

00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:55.060
You know, it was fine. It's fine. It mostly just

00:04:55.060 --> 00:04:56.839
means I had to stay up really late and then I

00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:59.779
had to ferry a bunch of drunk people home. Oh,

00:04:59.779 --> 00:05:04.060
no. That was fine. No, no, no. They didn't get

00:05:04.060 --> 00:05:07.540
that drunk. Good. Nobody was getting like sloppy.

00:05:07.540 --> 00:05:09.399
So it was it was actually. Yeah, it was good.

00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:11.660
But it was a fun wedding. But clearly, like I

00:05:11.660 --> 00:05:14.120
needed to catch up on some sleep. and I didn't

00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:17.100
sleep any more than usual. So I'm like dead today,

00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:18.779
even though I got eight hours of sleep because

00:05:18.779 --> 00:05:22.459
I got really bad sleep this weekend. Oh, man.

00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:25.540
Yeah. Like the night before, because like Saturday

00:05:25.540 --> 00:05:28.160
night, I got in at like three thirty basically,

00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:30.779
and then I had to wake up at like nine something.

00:05:31.379 --> 00:05:33.360
So I ended up. How long was the drive there?

00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:36.500
And then, yeah, so the drive to Louisville from

00:05:36.500 --> 00:05:40.360
Columbus is like three, four hours. God dang,

00:05:40.579 --> 00:05:43.620
man, everything. driving just in there. That's

00:05:43.620 --> 00:05:47.620
crazy. Yeah. So it was like half the states in

00:05:47.620 --> 00:05:50.600
the country in the time it takes to drive. That's

00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:52.939
true. Yeah. That's so nice. Going to Houston

00:05:52.939 --> 00:05:57.300
or something from. Yeah. Yeah. So it wasn't that

00:05:57.300 --> 00:06:01.139
bad. But yeah, that was good. Went to a wedding.

00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:04.579
I don't think anything about Louisville is particularly

00:06:04.579 --> 00:06:08.279
interesting, to be honest. But OK, I went there.

00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:12.290
So, yeah, my eyes hurt. Oh, no. But in other

00:06:12.290 --> 00:06:15.449
news, I did watch something in between now and

00:06:15.449 --> 00:06:19.069
then. Oh, yeah. Another Disney movie of a horrifying

00:06:19.069 --> 00:06:21.529
background. We didn't do it this week because

00:06:21.529 --> 00:06:25.209
some of my friends were out. Instead, I watched

00:06:25.209 --> 00:06:30.209
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing Endless Waltz, the movie,

00:06:30.209 --> 00:06:35.129
the movie sequel to Gundam Wing, the worst Gundam

00:06:35.129 --> 00:06:38.209
so far, I thought, or like one of the worst ones.

00:06:38.509 --> 00:06:40.829
I mean, the movie is an endless waltz is very

00:06:40.829 --> 00:06:44.290
fun. It was good. They like spend a lot of time

00:06:44.290 --> 00:06:46.149
with your characters just being fun and like

00:06:46.149 --> 00:06:48.730
bantering back and forth. They kind of retconned

00:06:48.730 --> 00:06:50.310
some of the stuff that happens in the original

00:06:50.310 --> 00:06:53.930
show that makes it better. They just redesigned

00:06:53.930 --> 00:06:56.370
the Gundams with no explanation. They just look

00:06:56.370 --> 00:06:58.889
cooler now. They're supposed to be the same.

00:06:59.209 --> 00:07:00.970
Yeah, they're supposed to be the same models

00:07:00.970 --> 00:07:03.149
or like the same robots, but they just look totally

00:07:03.149 --> 00:07:07.269
different. It's great. So had a fun time. Much

00:07:07.269 --> 00:07:10.889
much better than original Gundam wing was still

00:07:10.889 --> 00:07:14.449
is a little you know not Going for it in the

00:07:14.449 --> 00:07:16.829
way that I like Gundam to do, but it was a good

00:07:16.829 --> 00:07:19.029
time. It's a good movie You know it had a fun

00:07:19.029 --> 00:07:21.889
had fun with it good. I'm glad you watched something

00:07:21.889 --> 00:07:26.149
fun That's right now. It's on to turn a Okay,

00:07:26.149 --> 00:07:30.129
I will say my mom just binge like all of the

00:07:30.129 --> 00:07:34.279
current love Island season, so Okay, look If

00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:37.360
you just get started, you get hooked. So, yay,

00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:41.360
I've converted another. Yeah. So many. Okay.

00:07:41.420 --> 00:07:44.939
Yep. Okay, sorry. That's the only Love Island

00:07:44.939 --> 00:07:47.060
thing I'll say. I mean, I just talked about Gundam.

00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:48.899
You can talk about Love Island. It's okay. No,

00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:54.319
it's my whole personality right now is complaining

00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:57.399
about how hot it is and talking about Love Island.

00:07:57.930 --> 00:08:00.110
You know, when I was at this wedding, I was feeling

00:08:00.110 --> 00:08:02.149
like a real boring person because all of the

00:08:02.149 --> 00:08:03.430
people there, like, because my friend that got

00:08:03.430 --> 00:08:06.029
married went to, like, they did, like, AmeriCorps

00:08:06.029 --> 00:08:08.370
and, like, all this other stuff. So, you know,

00:08:08.410 --> 00:08:10.649
a lot of their friends are, like, met in, you

00:08:10.649 --> 00:08:13.129
know, we all, we all met in Indonesia or whatever.

00:08:13.610 --> 00:08:15.750
OK, cool. So, by comparison, I feel incredibly

00:08:15.750 --> 00:08:17.449
boring because I'm, like, I don't, all the things

00:08:17.449 --> 00:08:19.050
I'm interested in, I can't just talk to these

00:08:19.050 --> 00:08:21.009
random people about. They're going to be like,

00:08:21.069 --> 00:08:23.310
what are you talking about? I feel like the most

00:08:23.310 --> 00:08:25.509
boring guy who's ever existed at this wedding.

00:08:25.790 --> 00:08:27.350
I mean, it was nice. Like, I don't think anybody

00:08:27.350 --> 00:08:28.949
thought that it was just me being like, wow,

00:08:28.990 --> 00:08:31.689
I have nothing interesting to say. Well, you

00:08:31.689 --> 00:08:33.370
think if you said to any of those people who

00:08:33.370 --> 00:08:35.389
don't know you, oh, I have a podcast, they're

00:08:35.389 --> 00:08:37.470
going to be like, oh, God, here we go with another

00:08:37.470 --> 00:08:40.990
like white dude with a podcast. Oh, yes. I have

00:08:40.990 --> 00:08:43.169
to caveat that every single time. Like any time

00:08:43.169 --> 00:08:45.909
someone learns, I guess I'm like, oh, yeah, ha

00:08:45.909 --> 00:08:51.769
ha ha. God. Yeah. But, you know, it's cool. Yeah.

00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:55.120
Mm hmm. Yeah. Better than all those other white

00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:58.200
dude podcasts. Yeah. I don't just like get mad

00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:03.039
at stuff. We have a format. Mm hmm. We have a

00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:06.000
format and we're very niche about what we're

00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:10.379
doing and what we're watching. Incredibly. Yes.

00:09:10.659 --> 00:09:12.700
So that makes it feel better. It makes it feel

00:09:12.700 --> 00:09:15.600
like we're not just doing this to do this. Yeah.

00:09:16.379 --> 00:09:19.480
Yeah. Yeah. So that's what I have. We're almost

00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:23.039
on a too high a period. There'll be a third season

00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:25.679
that we have to come back to. You might have

00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:27.960
read the episode title and thought, why did we

00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:29.919
watch four episodes? And the answer is because

00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:32.419
one of them is a recap episode. Did you watch

00:09:32.419 --> 00:09:36.220
it in its entirety? I watched it. I watched it.

00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:39.539
by skipping ahead 10 seconds very often. Okay.

00:09:39.539 --> 00:09:41.820
Yeah. Okay. I did that a little bit, but I was

00:09:41.820 --> 00:09:43.779
like, oh man, I'm like, cause I just watched

00:09:43.779 --> 00:09:45.820
the episode like an hour ago. So I was like,

00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:48.519
I gotta get through these. So yeah, no, there's

00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:53.100
not really much, much to miss out on. So I'll

00:09:53.100 --> 00:09:56.480
take one filler episode, a season of Shojo. It

00:09:56.480 --> 00:09:59.200
doesn't feel like this has enough space to have

00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:02.679
this filler episode. No, that's so true. I don't

00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:05.490
know why they do that. Yeah, I maybe they're

00:10:05.490 --> 00:10:08.570
mandated to I don't know have like a recap for

00:10:08.570 --> 00:10:10.769
like all the people that Maybe it's just cuz

00:10:10.769 --> 00:10:14.269
everything happens so slow. That's like remember

00:10:14.269 --> 00:10:19.029
this happen like within the season you're watching

00:10:19.029 --> 00:10:23.429
I know it feels like it's a eternity but Yeah,

00:10:23.429 --> 00:10:27.049
it's a little odd to have it that way. I don't

00:10:27.049 --> 00:10:29.970
know. I Don't know to think about that. Well,

00:10:29.970 --> 00:10:32.529
I guess this will just be another outlier in

00:10:32.529 --> 00:10:36.519
our Our catalog here. Mm hmm. Yeah. Well, do

00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:37.820
you have anything else that should we get into

00:10:37.820 --> 00:10:41.720
it? I've decided who I'm going to marry and run

00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:44.759
factory. Oh, OK. Yeah. No, this is important

00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:46.919
business. So who are you? Who are the candidates?

00:10:47.179 --> 00:10:49.659
Like, what are we? Is it like one obvious one

00:10:49.659 --> 00:10:52.779
or is there like several? Well, I've seen holes.

00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:56.820
OK. Well, there's definitely like the benefit,

00:10:57.000 --> 00:10:59.370
right? Because it's like. You have to like spend

00:10:59.370 --> 00:11:01.950
time with them to increase like your relationship

00:11:01.950 --> 00:11:03.830
rank. And so obviously you're going to be higher

00:11:03.830 --> 00:11:06.450
rank with the people introduced into the game

00:11:06.450 --> 00:11:09.970
earlier. And like, I still haven't gotten the

00:11:09.970 --> 00:11:14.889
last candidate into my villages yet. And I'm

00:11:14.889 --> 00:11:20.809
like 55 hours in. So, but I think this might

00:11:20.809 --> 00:11:24.070
be the first one where you can marry any gender.

00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:29.460
Very ranted about the fact that you can play

00:11:29.460 --> 00:11:33.860
as a guy or girl and whichever one you don't

00:11:33.860 --> 00:11:36.559
play as is in the story and people call them

00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:39.659
by that name and so that means that whatever

00:11:39.659 --> 00:11:42.620
character I am and alternate if I play as a dude

00:11:42.620 --> 00:11:44.600
the character I'm currently playing as would

00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:47.639
be addressed by her name by character so they

00:11:47.639 --> 00:11:51.440
have all the voice actors saying the name, the

00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:54.200
default name. So why wouldn't it be that if you

00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:56.220
leave the default name when you play that character,

00:11:56.740 --> 00:11:58.940
the other characters that they already have saying

00:11:58.940 --> 00:12:01.659
the name would address you, you know, instead

00:12:01.659 --> 00:12:04.340
of having the like dialogue and the silence when

00:12:04.340 --> 00:12:06.259
it's like your name, you know, you didn't put

00:12:06.259 --> 00:12:12.700
a custom name in. Oh, that makes me so mad. All

00:12:12.700 --> 00:12:15.539
right. I'm on the Rune Factory wiki. Who am I

00:12:15.539 --> 00:12:19.379
looking up? Hi. The Oni God, because I because

00:12:19.379 --> 00:12:22.519
he's like, right. It's like, oh, he wears a mask.

00:12:22.539 --> 00:12:25.259
So you're like. When do I get to see what he

00:12:25.259 --> 00:12:27.679
looks like without the mask? He's hot without

00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:32.379
the mask on pretty eyelashes. Yeah, this guy

00:12:32.379 --> 00:12:34.379
looks like which are you just I was going to

00:12:34.379 --> 00:12:37.080
say, well, yes, he's the god of the underworld.

00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:41.580
Yeah, he's the Oni. We got big bats, you know.

00:12:41.580 --> 00:12:45.419
Oh, yeah. OK. Because there's like God can it

00:12:45.419 --> 00:12:48.750
because it's like. feudal Japan style. And there's

00:12:48.750 --> 00:12:51.529
like four villages, one for each season. And

00:12:51.529 --> 00:12:53.450
then there's also like a god for the heavens

00:12:53.450 --> 00:13:01.110
and the what did I just call it? Was it not hell?

00:13:01.549 --> 00:13:04.269
What did I just say? Underworld. Underworld.

00:13:04.509 --> 00:13:08.009
Yes. And so he's the one for that. But and then

00:13:08.009 --> 00:13:11.539
there's like mundane. normal human characters.

00:13:12.179 --> 00:13:15.120
And then troublingly, a character that was a

00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:18.720
child in the last Runefactor game is now a candidate

00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:21.419
in this game, which technically it's but it's

00:13:21.419 --> 00:13:24.340
also like the community now is like first introduced

00:13:24.340 --> 00:13:26.679
to her as a child. And now she's like, oh, and

00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:30.740
it's like, oh, who is it? I have a list of all

00:13:30.740 --> 00:13:35.519
bachelorettes. Hina with the hat. Oh, with the

00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:39.899
hat ears. Yeah. Yeah. She was like a And then

00:13:39.899 --> 00:13:42.779
she's talking about my hero from when I was a

00:13:42.779 --> 00:13:45.159
kid, which is like the character you play as

00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:49.460
and she's got a tail. That's yeah. There's like

00:13:49.460 --> 00:13:52.340
I don't understand. Super understand. I don't

00:13:52.340 --> 00:13:55.879
know. There's like animal hybrid people and the

00:13:55.879 --> 00:13:59.440
people and then I don't know. People with pointy

00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:02.320
ears and people with normal ears. So I don't

00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:05.220
know. We don't super go into like establishing.

00:14:05.870 --> 00:14:08.929
Who's this chick with a huge hat? Huge hat. Who's

00:14:08.929 --> 00:14:14.070
this chick with an enormous hat? Who? What's

00:14:14.070 --> 00:14:17.230
the name? I don't know. I'm just looking at wallpaper.

00:14:17.529 --> 00:14:20.889
Rune Factory 5 HD wallpaper. Well, that's Rune

00:14:20.889 --> 00:14:23.049
Factory 5. This is Rune Factory Guardians of

00:14:23.049 --> 00:14:27.610
Ozima. Oh, my God. God. Ozima. OK, I know. Why

00:14:27.610 --> 00:14:30.950
is it like Rune Factory four or five and then

00:14:30.950 --> 00:14:33.909
this? Why can't you guys have already heard me

00:14:33.909 --> 00:14:37.840
complain about? Why can't you be here? Oh, you

00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:41.679
like the big? That's a downgrade. Yeah. Oh, you're

00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:43.580
thinking there's like a witch lady in the last

00:14:43.580 --> 00:14:46.340
game. You're her has enormous. That's good. I

00:14:46.340 --> 00:14:48.720
think you should have a bigger hat. I think you're

00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:53.539
a big fan. That character is good. Crazy. He

00:14:53.539 --> 00:14:55.419
has a hat, but it's like a tiny hat. It's like

00:14:55.419 --> 00:14:58.840
a it's like a porter's cap. She's going to have

00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:03.820
something. Uh huh. So were you looking at the

00:15:03.820 --> 00:15:07.009
right person? Yeah, I know. I was because I was

00:15:07.009 --> 00:15:08.769
looking at Kai Roman. I'm looking at the romance

00:15:08.769 --> 00:15:10.730
guy, but it didn't say which game it was. Now

00:15:10.730 --> 00:15:14.389
I see that it does. OK, OK. I don't get to see

00:15:14.389 --> 00:15:18.169
his face, though. I know, but you have pretty

00:15:18.169 --> 00:15:22.250
eyelashes. No, there doesn't seem to be a Kai

00:15:22.250 --> 00:15:25.570
face reveal. Dang. Oh, dang. That's good about

00:15:25.570 --> 00:15:29.409
not spoiling it for people. I don't see it. And

00:15:29.409 --> 00:15:32.830
then there's one that's like a automata, like

00:15:32.830 --> 00:15:36.659
he's like a robot guy. OK. All right. I got to

00:15:36.659 --> 00:15:40.039
see this guy. His name is Choi Ling, which I

00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:45.360
like his name a lot. The UI. Oh, man, he's got

00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:51.080
a weird. The DLC character. Yes. Him and Helika

00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:55.220
are like the DLC candidates, which I'm assuming

00:15:55.220 --> 00:15:57.379
they're in the game anyways, because like you

00:15:57.379 --> 00:16:00.820
can have you build relationships with non romantic

00:16:00.820 --> 00:16:03.440
partners. But, you know, that's. I don't know

00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:05.360
what the benefit, because you can have them as

00:16:05.360 --> 00:16:07.179
combat companions. I guess that's the benefit.

00:16:07.179 --> 00:16:08.740
Why would you ever talk to somebody if you weren't

00:16:08.740 --> 00:16:10.799
going to try to date them? Because there's no

00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:13.440
like little cutscenes with them. Like there's

00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:17.220
no like friendship cutscenes, really. I know

00:16:17.220 --> 00:16:19.899
it's mostly just like combat stats and like you

00:16:19.899 --> 00:16:23.519
can cook special dishes once you reach a certain

00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:26.980
rank with people and stuff. Yeah, I've already

00:16:26.980 --> 00:16:28.960
said this, but I think we're in fact, I don't

00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:32.409
know why. Because I've only played Rune Factory

00:16:32.409 --> 00:16:36.690
4, 5, and now this one. But Rune Factory 4 was

00:16:36.690 --> 00:16:42.450
like incredible. Rune Factory 4. I don't know

00:16:42.450 --> 00:16:43.669
if you like it. I'm going to look at this. I'm

00:16:43.669 --> 00:16:46.509
like, I like it. And then in that one, I married

00:16:46.509 --> 00:16:50.429
Dylas. And then we have a he's like a he's like

00:16:50.429 --> 00:16:56.549
a horse guy. So he's got like a horse guy. Yeah.

00:16:57.950 --> 00:17:00.809
OK, somebody has like someone's got like a top

00:17:00.809 --> 00:17:04.130
hat. Top hat. Oh, the girl. She's like a ghost

00:17:04.130 --> 00:17:07.210
girl. Kind of. Yeah. Some girl has like a hat

00:17:07.210 --> 00:17:09.470
that's like it's got like two little it's like

00:17:09.470 --> 00:17:10.910
a witch hat, but there's two little sides of

00:17:10.910 --> 00:17:12.930
it. So it looks like kind of like a like it's

00:17:12.930 --> 00:17:15.309
got like an antenna. You got to say the names.

00:17:15.509 --> 00:17:17.529
I don't know. I'm just looking at pictures. So

00:17:17.529 --> 00:17:19.829
I just all I can see is pictures. You should

00:17:19.829 --> 00:17:22.410
get Rune Factory 4 special on the Switch if it's

00:17:22.410 --> 00:17:25.069
ever on sale or if it's on Steam. This is a Steam

00:17:25.069 --> 00:17:26.809
summer sale right now. Have you gotten anything?

00:17:27.410 --> 00:17:29.789
No, I've been extremely behind on all video games

00:17:29.789 --> 00:17:32.390
ever. Yeah, I know it's like Claire Expedition

00:17:32.390 --> 00:17:35.930
is like a little bit off I'm like, it's not off

00:17:35.930 --> 00:17:39.349
enough to like incentivize me to buy it now before

00:17:39.349 --> 00:17:41.970
I like have time to play it If it was like a

00:17:41.970 --> 00:17:45.569
huge discount or like Greenfall 2 that one's

00:17:45.569 --> 00:17:48.190
still an early access buzz. Yeah, I have like

00:17:48.190 --> 00:17:51.130
no I like just I feel like I somehow I have no

00:17:51.130 --> 00:17:53.369
time to do anything I don't really know why that

00:17:53.369 --> 00:17:55.210
is or how that is but that's just how it is.

00:17:55.210 --> 00:17:57.980
It's because people have friends This is good.

00:17:58.940 --> 00:18:01.980
You got to cut it out, hang it out with people.

00:18:02.359 --> 00:18:05.859
I guess. Just take all your time. Yeah, maybe.

00:18:06.259 --> 00:18:10.220
Yeah. Oh, Joe. Mm hmm. Oh wait, did I already

00:18:10.220 --> 00:18:13.559
say this? I sang karaoke on a stage. No, I don't

00:18:13.559 --> 00:18:17.000
think so. Did I already say this? OK. Yeah, I.

00:18:17.900 --> 00:18:21.019
for the first time ever last week. And I realized

00:18:21.019 --> 00:18:24.500
that I may think I know a song, but I truly don't

00:18:24.500 --> 00:18:27.559
unless I can hear the voice singing along to

00:18:27.559 --> 00:18:33.640
it on stage. I forgot that was a thing or like

00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:35.859
the music isn't playing loud enough. So I like

00:18:35.859 --> 00:18:39.660
forget when I feel like that's not as bad. I

00:18:39.660 --> 00:18:42.160
wouldn't feel bad about that. But this is like

00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:45.099
it's like this dive bar. So it's like everyone's

00:18:45.099 --> 00:18:47.480
like a regular and they're all freaking incredible

00:18:47.480 --> 00:18:51.059
and singing like Broadway songs. You just need

00:18:51.059 --> 00:18:54.880
to become a regular. So I forgot there was rapping

00:18:54.880 --> 00:19:01.339
in in the end by Linkin Park. OK. Uh huh. You

00:19:01.339 --> 00:19:03.839
didn't remember that part? Well, I don't know.

00:19:04.380 --> 00:19:09.039
My Shinoda it's slow at least, but like I just.

00:19:09.220 --> 00:19:11.789
Yep. Yep, and then I sang How Far We've Come

00:19:11.789 --> 00:19:15.289
by Mashbox. No, no, I don't think so. I'm just

00:19:15.289 --> 00:19:17.230
like pat on the back for even getting up there

00:19:17.230 --> 00:19:19.170
and doing it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nobody cares.

00:19:19.410 --> 00:19:22.210
Everybody's very chill at karaoke. You get the

00:19:22.210 --> 00:19:25.309
idea when you go. But, like, specifically the

00:19:25.309 --> 00:19:28.849
group I went with were all very good. All of

00:19:28.849 --> 00:19:31.529
them did, like, theater or, like, one of them

00:19:31.529 --> 00:19:34.150
used to be a music teacher, so they're all really

00:19:34.150 --> 00:19:35.509
good. That's why they want to go to karaoke.

00:19:36.329 --> 00:19:40.069
I was just like, I'll give it a go. You know,

00:19:40.690 --> 00:19:43.269
you should take a game cafe or something and

00:19:43.269 --> 00:19:46.630
just like destroy them at something. I'm not

00:19:46.630 --> 00:19:49.130
even good at video games, though, Joe. That's

00:19:49.130 --> 00:19:53.650
true. All right, no, I might be sure I'm not

00:19:53.650 --> 00:19:55.450
even going to arm wrestling. I don't even know

00:19:55.450 --> 00:19:57.589
how to arm wrestle properly as I learned with

00:19:57.589 --> 00:20:01.190
Jenny. It's like proper etiquette. You need to

00:20:01.190 --> 00:20:03.390
hone a secret talent so you can you can upstage

00:20:03.390 --> 00:20:07.509
everybody like in secret, you know. That's good.

00:20:07.609 --> 00:20:09.950
You can really get a car to. And then just do

00:20:09.950 --> 00:20:13.069
it. Hey, you want to check this out? You beat

00:20:13.069 --> 00:20:16.589
me on your first try. I'm surprised our game

00:20:16.589 --> 00:20:18.369
didn't get down to a 50 -50 because it seems

00:20:18.369 --> 00:20:22.890
to happen so often. OK, yeah. Good, good. Yep.

00:20:23.190 --> 00:20:25.170
Should be. All right. Yeah, we should. We're

00:20:25.170 --> 00:20:28.289
like, look, there's a payoff payoff to the whole

00:20:28.289 --> 00:20:31.369
synchronization. So here's the thing. Here's

00:20:31.369 --> 00:20:33.109
the thing. We watched four episodes because one

00:20:33.109 --> 00:20:35.940
of them is a recap and like. These episodes are

00:20:35.940 --> 00:20:38.000
good. Like, these are good episodes of television.

00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:40.559
I enjoyed watching these. Not that much happens,

00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:43.279
I feel like. I wrote down a lot of things that,

00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:45.079
like, I wrote down a lot of words here because

00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:46.759
there's a lot of, like, little asides and things

00:20:46.759 --> 00:20:49.440
like that, but not that much happens. So we'll

00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:52.960
see how long this takes. But yeah, let's get

00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:55.759
into it. So Chihayafuru episode 16 is called

00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:57.960
Wait for the Emperor's Return. This is a recap

00:20:57.960 --> 00:21:00.160
episode, slash, there are some gags in it that

00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:02.660
we'll cover, but mostly it's just recapping the

00:21:02.660 --> 00:21:07.130
first... 15 episodes of the season. Kind of a

00:21:07.130 --> 00:21:11.089
relevant title, waiting for the show to return.

00:21:11.230 --> 00:21:13.289
Yeah, some of these do have titles that seem

00:21:13.289 --> 00:21:15.950
relevant, but it's hard to tell. Don't count

00:21:15.950 --> 00:21:19.170
on it. Let's see, some of the, one of the, the

00:21:19.170 --> 00:21:21.250
first gag makes it like a pretty funny joke about

00:21:21.250 --> 00:21:23.130
how Kana only has three eyelashes, which I thought

00:21:23.130 --> 00:21:24.450
was funny. I thought you would probably enjoy

00:21:24.450 --> 00:21:27.130
that. Because you always complain about how underdrawn

00:21:27.130 --> 00:21:31.170
she is. And Sumira gives her fake eyelashes,

00:21:31.289 --> 00:21:35.259
which is very funny. Married to the rescue. A

00:21:35.259 --> 00:21:36.940
couple other things. We learned that Nishida's

00:21:36.940 --> 00:21:38.619
sister likes retro because she says he looks

00:21:38.619 --> 00:21:41.240
like Johnny Depp, which is a funny thing, but

00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:44.539
it's also unfortunate name poll to consider now

00:21:44.539 --> 00:21:49.819
that we know who that guy is. So that's unfortunate.

00:21:50.500 --> 00:21:55.420
Even anime ages poorly in references. That's

00:21:55.420 --> 00:21:57.079
not their fault. There's no way they could have

00:21:57.079 --> 00:22:00.380
known that. No, no. But yeah, that was just I

00:22:00.380 --> 00:22:02.519
was like, ah, let's see. We got another bit where

00:22:02.519 --> 00:22:05.480
Nishida tells the crew that the only confirmed

00:22:05.480 --> 00:22:09.160
couple in the show is his sister in retro, which

00:22:09.160 --> 00:22:10.839
is extremely funny. And everyone's like, oh,

00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:12.519
come on. It's got to be side characters have

00:22:12.519 --> 00:22:16.880
girlfriends, too. But they don't. Chihaya says

00:22:16.880 --> 00:22:18.440
she wants to date someone who's good at card,

00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:20.700
which Tai Chi and Tsukuba listen to intently.

00:22:20.799 --> 00:22:23.880
So I guess that Tsukuba is like going for I don't

00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:26.640
know. I didn't really get that because that's

00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:28.799
going nowhere. And then Kana says she wants to

00:22:28.799 --> 00:22:30.880
date somebody who knows how to put on a kimono

00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:33.440
and Satomu Nishida both like that because they

00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:35.500
both like her. I don't know. We've kind of like

00:22:35.500 --> 00:22:39.279
not done anything with that, but that's you can't

00:22:39.279 --> 00:22:42.579
do that to us, Arthur. If you're not going to

00:22:42.579 --> 00:22:45.960
give us anything. Yeah. Them liking them or whatever.

00:22:46.099 --> 00:22:48.339
So those are the pairings. Anyway, that's basically

00:22:48.339 --> 00:22:51.730
the end of the episode. Easy peasy. Now the shortest

00:22:51.730 --> 00:22:53.990
recap ever. No thoughts other than the fact that,

00:22:54.210 --> 00:22:57.490
like, just coming out and being like, yeah, Nishida's

00:22:57.490 --> 00:22:59.150
sister and Retro are the only couple in this

00:22:59.150 --> 00:23:01.609
show. And I'm like, yeah, that's pretty sad.

00:23:01.609 --> 00:23:06.089
They're acknowledging it. Yeah. Chihayafuru episode

00:23:06.089 --> 00:23:08.950
17 is called Gust of Wind. We open on everybody

00:23:08.950 --> 00:23:12.170
being wowed by our guest reader. Play starts

00:23:12.170 --> 00:23:15.230
and Fujisaki is pretty good. Also Rionne who's

00:23:15.230 --> 00:23:18.059
playing Chihaya. is playing somewhat differently

00:23:18.059 --> 00:23:21.500
than the normal opponents as the OP plays. We

00:23:21.500 --> 00:23:24.140
come back to Shinobu, thinking that Arata really

00:23:24.140 --> 00:23:25.960
hyped up this match, but it's looking to be really

00:23:25.960 --> 00:23:29.200
boring. Chihaya's team is losing across the board.

00:23:29.279 --> 00:23:30.920
We learn that it's because their coach makes

00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:33.079
them work out a lot and do stretches and things

00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:36.440
like that. Rion keeps taking all two syllable

00:23:36.440 --> 00:23:38.339
cards on the first syllable, kind of like how

00:23:38.339 --> 00:23:41.420
the master does, because she has learned the

00:23:41.420 --> 00:23:45.500
reader's proclivities or whatever. Chihaya's

00:23:45.500 --> 00:23:50.450
a... dummy who can't identify her own play strategy

00:23:50.450 --> 00:23:54.190
in front of her. She gets like senses thing.

00:23:54.690 --> 00:24:00.250
Eventually. Come on. Sorry. As do I. Well, the

00:24:00.250 --> 00:24:04.009
game keeps playing. The reader's the reader's

00:24:04.009 --> 00:24:06.430
reading is so good. She is able to visualize

00:24:06.430 --> 00:24:10.089
a forest. Her voice is so multicolored. But can

00:24:10.089 --> 00:24:12.470
reading cause colors? And she has like, oh, yeah,

00:24:12.609 --> 00:24:15.369
I can sometimes. predict what you're going to

00:24:15.369 --> 00:24:17.089
say based on the intonation of how you're saying

00:24:17.089 --> 00:24:19.809
things and take cards early. I should do that.

00:24:20.069 --> 00:24:21.589
Shinobu thinks about this, too, and thinks that

00:24:21.589 --> 00:24:23.730
this reader gives away too much when she reads,

00:24:23.769 --> 00:24:26.269
which is why people like the guy who's the current

00:24:26.269 --> 00:24:28.589
master can do so well with her. And she hates

00:24:28.589 --> 00:24:30.289
it because Shinobu clearly is not that good at

00:24:30.289 --> 00:24:33.769
doing this. Or as good at doing this. We learned

00:24:33.769 --> 00:24:36.980
that Rion is in Class B. The reader thinks about

00:24:36.980 --> 00:24:39.559
how about her granddaughter and how she was kind

00:24:39.559 --> 00:24:41.759
of a prodigy, but she tends to lose focus halfway

00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:43.720
through matches because if the reader isn't as

00:24:43.720 --> 00:24:46.279
good as her grandmother, she gets distracted.

00:24:46.660 --> 00:24:48.539
This means that she'll probably never be queen.

00:24:48.619 --> 00:24:50.619
So this is probably her only chance at being

00:24:50.619 --> 00:24:52.900
a champion, which is kind of basically because

00:24:52.900 --> 00:24:58.240
she gets. Yeah, she gets the step in like at

00:24:58.240 --> 00:25:00.579
whatever time works for her and not because she

00:25:00.579 --> 00:25:04.240
earned it herself. So, yeah, whatever. Yeah,

00:25:04.259 --> 00:25:07.759
this is like having basically home field advantage.

00:25:08.579 --> 00:25:10.980
Super I am surprised because I didn't get as

00:25:10.980 --> 00:25:13.960
much backstory as her on her as we do with some

00:25:13.960 --> 00:25:16.240
characters. Yeah, I mean, I guess we kind of

00:25:16.240 --> 00:25:20.640
do like glimpses. It's not like it drags on forever

00:25:20.640 --> 00:25:23.579
in a flashback. That's true. Yeah, we're not.

00:25:23.619 --> 00:25:25.420
It's not as flashback heavy. People kind of just

00:25:25.420 --> 00:25:29.250
talk about her. Mm hmm. Things are going bad.

00:25:29.450 --> 00:25:31.470
Jihai looks over at Kana and thinks about poetry.

00:25:31.650 --> 00:25:33.970
She tries to visualize the cards as the poems

00:25:33.970 --> 00:25:38.250
and manages to take a card one syllable early.

00:25:38.529 --> 00:25:41.190
Jihai tries to scoop a card her opponent is covering

00:25:41.190 --> 00:25:43.049
and it looks like her hand gets crushed, but

00:25:43.049 --> 00:25:45.430
it turns out that maybe her hand didn't get crushed

00:25:45.430 --> 00:25:48.630
and she's okay. But we'll check back in on that.

00:25:48.849 --> 00:25:52.140
Taichi, meanwhile, faults. Also, it turns out

00:25:52.140 --> 00:25:54.420
she probably did hurt her finger, but like not

00:25:54.420 --> 00:25:56.480
in a way that we can easily recognize because

00:25:56.480 --> 00:25:58.980
like it hurts, but it's not jammed. It's weird.

00:25:59.319 --> 00:26:00.599
She's like, I don't really know what's going

00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:03.900
on. She thinks back to when Kana said that it's

00:26:03.900 --> 00:26:05.460
good that their A's didn't get hurt. And she's

00:26:05.460 --> 00:26:08.920
like, well, so much for that. Yeah, she knows

00:26:08.920 --> 00:26:11.240
who almost falls asleep and then sneezes on a

00:26:11.240 --> 00:26:14.160
guy. This causes one of the. Organizers. She's

00:26:14.160 --> 00:26:20.900
like, I. Why does why is anime so into like.

00:26:20.839 --> 00:26:25.839
Just playing mucus is disgusting, I hate it so

00:26:25.839 --> 00:26:30.299
much. Shinobu is such a nuisance in this season.

00:26:30.680 --> 00:26:34.019
Only thing she has going for her is Karda. I'm

00:26:34.019 --> 00:26:35.559
surprised they're not trying to get rid of her

00:26:35.559 --> 00:26:37.940
too, if that's the reason they're trying to get

00:26:37.940 --> 00:26:40.799
rid of the emperor, is that he's like a buffoon.

00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:43.519
Like, everybody hates the master because he's

00:26:43.519 --> 00:26:46.650
like... Annoying and doesn't do anything and

00:26:46.650 --> 00:26:49.109
then shinobu is like just a recluse that doesn't

00:26:49.109 --> 00:26:51.190
know how to interact with people It is also like

00:26:51.190 --> 00:26:55.769
very off -putting Yes But anyway by sneezing

00:26:55.769 --> 00:26:57.849
this causes one of the organizers to like notice

00:26:57.849 --> 00:27:00.250
that she's here and she tells her that She's

00:27:00.250 --> 00:27:01.809
the queen so she should sit up front and then

00:27:01.809 --> 00:27:04.109
she gets dragged up in the front near the coaches

00:27:04.109 --> 00:27:06.329
Which pisses her off because she's like I was

00:27:06.329 --> 00:27:08.710
gonna leave but now I can't leave because I'm

00:27:08.710 --> 00:27:11.089
in front of everybody So this sucks, which is

00:27:11.089 --> 00:27:14.450
very funny She vaguely recognizes Chihaya, but

00:27:14.450 --> 00:27:16.609
then Chihaya loses a card and she's like, whatever,

00:27:16.930 --> 00:27:20.109
nothing interesting going on here. Yeah. Ryo

00:27:20.109 --> 00:27:22.650
notices that Chihaya is slower and thinks that

00:27:22.650 --> 00:27:25.289
she might have actually hurt her earlier. Chihaya

00:27:25.289 --> 00:27:27.109
is able to start taking cards pretty easily,

00:27:27.130 --> 00:27:29.230
and she remembers back to one time when Dr. Hirata

00:27:29.230 --> 00:27:31.109
said that getting hurt can sometimes affect the

00:27:31.109 --> 00:27:33.170
person who hurt the other person more than the

00:27:33.170 --> 00:27:36.650
person who got hurt. Mind games. I think Dr.

00:27:36.730 --> 00:27:40.390
Hirata might be the character I am most similar

00:27:40.390 --> 00:27:46.789
to. Just like talking. Yeah. But you know, he's

00:27:46.789 --> 00:27:50.990
just like, take advantage of their, you know,

00:27:50.990 --> 00:27:54.890
like, don't get caught up by like feelings or

00:27:54.890 --> 00:27:58.569
anything like, you know, I don't know. I just

00:27:58.569 --> 00:28:01.390
feel like everyone. Well, he's like not emotional.

00:28:01.410 --> 00:28:06.089
He's like thinking around others, emotions or

00:28:06.089 --> 00:28:08.910
I don't know. I mean, I don't I just am like,

00:28:08.930 --> 00:28:13.529
I like that he's so. Nonchalant about the you

00:28:13.529 --> 00:28:16.910
know, like ah Look, I feel bad for hurting you

00:28:16.910 --> 00:28:19.869
good. Don't don't miss this opportunity Never

00:28:19.869 --> 00:28:23.690
mind. Yeah, I don't know. I like dr. Harada.

00:28:23.690 --> 00:28:25.829
I guess that's just what I'll say Yeah, it's

00:28:25.829 --> 00:28:27.609
good. It's too bad. He isn't in this season more.

00:28:27.670 --> 00:28:31.589
But yeah, no Turns out the Rion gets in her own

00:28:31.589 --> 00:28:34.069
head a lot. She highest hands over the only one

00:28:34.069 --> 00:28:36.609
syllable card in the game Which is a big gamble

00:28:36.609 --> 00:28:38.690
and surprises everybody including Shinobu. It

00:28:38.690 --> 00:28:43.539
can't be true They say more one. Maybe it's only

00:28:43.539 --> 00:28:45.859
one syllable card she had, because I'm like,

00:28:45.900 --> 00:28:48.500
they talk about more one syllable cards later.

00:28:48.519 --> 00:28:50.500
Well, no, but I guess it's because it's like

00:28:50.500 --> 00:28:53.400
as cards get taken out, then the other cars become

00:28:53.400 --> 00:28:55.180
one. So it's the only one that's the beginning

00:28:55.180 --> 00:28:58.720
of the game. Yeah, yeah. Never mind. Don't listen

00:28:58.720 --> 00:29:02.180
to me. I suck today. Anyway, terrible comments.

00:29:02.859 --> 00:29:04.980
I don't need you don't need to remember all the

00:29:04.980 --> 00:29:09.089
details. I have the summary. Uh, Chihaya takes,

00:29:09.410 --> 00:29:10.950
uh, then Chihaya takes that one syllable card

00:29:10.950 --> 00:29:12.789
super fast and Shinobu is like, ah, wait, it

00:29:12.789 --> 00:29:15.630
is, it is her. It's that one shaker takes one

00:29:15.630 --> 00:29:18.089
syllable card super fast. Chihaya, that's her

00:29:18.089 --> 00:29:23.210
name. So she gets recognized by Shinobu. How

00:29:23.210 --> 00:29:26.210
fun. Chihaya has taken four in a row and the

00:29:26.210 --> 00:29:28.069
rest of the team gets motivated to do better.

00:29:28.289 --> 00:29:29.829
Nishida thinks that they need to start contributing.

00:29:30.150 --> 00:29:31.829
All the guys stand up and take a break and then

00:29:31.829 --> 00:29:33.869
they hype themselves up as we cut to credits.

00:29:34.509 --> 00:29:37.910
Just did they like practice this routine of like

00:29:37.910 --> 00:29:40.549
smacking themselves in the faces all at the same

00:29:40.549 --> 00:29:43.430
time? Yeah, they all do the same motion. It's

00:29:43.430 --> 00:29:47.309
pretty goofy. Mm hmm. Yep. Yep. Yep. So do we

00:29:47.309 --> 00:29:50.289
think about we learn what Rion's deal is? It's

00:29:50.289 --> 00:29:54.200
like what if she does the Jihaya thing. She's

00:29:54.200 --> 00:30:00.319
the first year. Yes. Fujisaki. Or she. And maybe

00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:02.640
she's a second year. I don't know. He. Yeah.

00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:07.019
I mean, right. So far, it's just the biggest.

00:30:07.539 --> 00:30:09.960
Right. Jay has to have some kind of obstacle.

00:30:10.460 --> 00:30:13.029
And she was certainly at first, but. Now that

00:30:13.029 --> 00:30:16.769
she's injured, she's like, he just needs to learn

00:30:16.769 --> 00:30:19.549
to be able to just turn it on from the beginning,

00:30:19.750 --> 00:30:23.849
not like get injured. And then that's like your

00:30:23.849 --> 00:30:29.490
I had to work despite that. Mm hmm. OK, I'm sure

00:30:29.490 --> 00:30:32.049
I think of like, I don't know that hand pressing

00:30:32.049 --> 00:30:37.019
down on fingers like. would be hard enough. I

00:30:37.019 --> 00:30:39.099
feel like it'd be more like the angling of your

00:30:39.099 --> 00:30:41.220
wrist under it. Like, your wrists would be more

00:30:41.220 --> 00:30:44.000
likely to get hurt than the finger. It's probably

00:30:44.000 --> 00:30:46.220
just like you're moving so fast that, like, having

00:30:46.220 --> 00:30:48.740
the tip of your finger get stopped and you just,

00:30:48.740 --> 00:30:51.160
like, jam the rest of it in there. My arms are

00:30:51.160 --> 00:30:54.279
too, like, pop. If I try to play Carter like

00:30:54.279 --> 00:30:57.539
that, I'd be like, pop, pop. Oh, yeah, I'd just

00:30:57.539 --> 00:30:59.799
be smacking the ground and hurting my hands all

00:30:59.799 --> 00:31:01.960
the time. Like, there's no way I'd be able to

00:31:01.960 --> 00:31:05.990
do this. Oh, boy. But yeah, I guess talk to me

00:31:05.990 --> 00:31:09.490
matter. So I don't know. They're softer. But

00:31:09.490 --> 00:31:11.609
like, I mean, you're still smacking the surface.

00:31:12.190 --> 00:31:15.130
And they're like more like thick cards, too.

00:31:15.829 --> 00:31:17.750
Yeah. Anyway, I don't really have any other thoughts

00:31:17.750 --> 00:31:22.009
about episode 13 or 17. Moving on. Episode 18

00:31:22.009 --> 00:31:24.349
is called My Fear is that you will forget. We

00:31:24.349 --> 00:31:26.529
open back up on the match, Chihaya's mystery

00:31:26.529 --> 00:31:29.789
finger energy. What did I just say? Mysterious

00:31:29.789 --> 00:31:32.789
finger injury has motivated everyone into getting

00:31:32.789 --> 00:31:34.869
into the zone. They're all like, oh, Chihaya's

00:31:34.869 --> 00:31:37.650
hurt, so we gotta pick it up. Kana reads us this

00:31:37.650 --> 00:31:40.549
current score line. Chihaya is down by six, Nishida

00:31:40.549 --> 00:31:42.950
is down by three, Taichi is down by four, and

00:31:42.950 --> 00:31:46.289
Satoumu and Tsukuba are both down by seven. So

00:31:46.289 --> 00:31:48.650
it's looking real bad. Taichi thinks that his

00:31:48.650 --> 00:31:50.450
opponent isn't as good as Arata, but he's still

00:31:50.450 --> 00:31:52.549
pretty good. He realizes that he's been getting

00:31:52.549 --> 00:31:56.869
too many flashbacks this game as he thinks about

00:31:56.869 --> 00:31:58.430
Arata too much and decides that he's going to

00:31:58.430 --> 00:32:00.309
forget that and play for real now. And then he

00:32:00.309 --> 00:32:03.170
takes a card. This is very funny to me to be

00:32:03.170 --> 00:32:05.349
like, I've been thinking too much about Arata.

00:32:05.369 --> 00:32:08.130
I got to stop having flashbacks. The flashbacks

00:32:08.130 --> 00:32:11.130
between this guy and Arata is making me be like,

00:32:11.289 --> 00:32:15.029
Arata really is cute. It's like I'm just really

00:32:15.029 --> 00:32:18.950
the only three characters to get effort put into

00:32:18.950 --> 00:32:21.930
them. I'm just imagining all last episode Tai

00:32:21.930 --> 00:32:24.490
Chi is just constantly having flashbacks that

00:32:24.490 --> 00:32:27.990
you just can't see. You haven't even played against

00:32:27.990 --> 00:32:30.750
Errata since you were children. It's been so

00:32:30.750 --> 00:32:33.250
long. You don't know how good he is. Errata casts

00:32:33.250 --> 00:32:36.430
the biggest shadow ever on this show, despite

00:32:36.430 --> 00:32:41.089
barely being in it. Yeah. Oh, man. All right.

00:32:41.269 --> 00:32:44.299
Well. Tsutomu doubts that he can actually do

00:32:44.299 --> 00:32:45.960
anything to win his match, but he thinks he's

00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:48.740
gonna try to surpass his expectations. Nishida

00:32:48.740 --> 00:32:50.539
is strategizing on which of his opponent's cards

00:32:50.539 --> 00:32:53.339
he should take. Tsukuba tries to focus on cards

00:32:53.339 --> 00:32:55.539
with his name in it and just make sure that he

00:32:55.539 --> 00:32:57.759
takes those. He gets a flashback where the team

00:32:57.759 --> 00:32:59.680
says those cards are good and then he takes one

00:32:59.680 --> 00:33:02.119
of them from his opponent. So yay Tsukuba scored

00:33:02.119 --> 00:33:03.980
a point. It seems like Chihaya's team is gonna

00:33:03.980 --> 00:33:06.160
start making a comeback. Also Chihaya has just

00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:08.279
won seven in a row and has narrowed her deficit

00:33:08.279 --> 00:33:11.259
to three. Rion notes that she high is getting

00:33:11.259 --> 00:33:14.000
faster somehow, which we know is because she

00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:16.740
does better the later the match goes. That just

00:33:16.740 --> 00:33:19.059
makes me think of the like bleach where it's

00:33:19.059 --> 00:33:22.960
like, no, he's not moving faster. I've just gotten

00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:28.559
slower or whatever with the season one like Renji.

00:33:30.539 --> 00:33:33.180
Yakiya. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's some that's

00:33:33.180 --> 00:33:37.799
some good stuff. Some good one on one content.

00:33:38.509 --> 00:33:40.690
The blonde guy sees that Rion is starting to

00:33:40.690 --> 00:33:43.690
lose her lead and gets all huffy about it. He

00:33:43.690 --> 00:33:45.349
starts to think about how he chose to do Carta

00:33:45.349 --> 00:33:47.509
because he didn't want to sweat, and he really

00:33:47.509 --> 00:33:50.069
values beauty. And you know who also plays beautifully?

00:33:50.390 --> 00:33:53.210
Rion, because he's in love with her. Satomo loses

00:33:53.210 --> 00:33:56.589
to this guy, making the score 0 -1, and he realizes

00:33:56.589 --> 00:33:58.150
that the other guy doesn't blow his bangs when

00:33:58.150 --> 00:34:00.069
he's frustrated, it's when he's getting serious.

00:34:00.390 --> 00:34:02.849
So I guess he miscalculated, but also he wasn't

00:34:02.849 --> 00:34:06.140
going to win this game anyway. Nope. But he does

00:34:06.140 --> 00:34:08.400
go out first. Rion starts to get into the swing

00:34:08.400 --> 00:34:11.019
of things and the reader tells us that she should

00:34:11.019 --> 00:34:13.340
be able to read her voice more like the master

00:34:13.340 --> 00:34:16.099
does. Chihaya remembers Kana's explanation for

00:34:16.099 --> 00:34:18.440
several cards right before both her and Rion

00:34:18.440 --> 00:34:20.519
take one. Shinobu was shocked because both of

00:34:20.519 --> 00:34:23.639
them took it a syllable early. So that's interesting.

00:34:23.960 --> 00:34:28.300
Perhaps a challenger is among them. Chihaya gets

00:34:28.300 --> 00:34:30.599
the card and feels her injury. Then she sees

00:34:30.599 --> 00:34:33.420
Shinobu and thinks that Arata must have sent

00:34:33.420 --> 00:34:37.409
her. I don't really remember why she thinks this.

00:34:38.250 --> 00:34:40.409
I don't know. She's like, it must be him. I know

00:34:40.409 --> 00:34:42.429
it's him. I don't have any reason, but I know,

00:34:42.429 --> 00:34:45.309
I know he must have done this. Yes. Only give

00:34:45.309 --> 00:34:47.769
credit to him. Everything's about him. He does

00:34:47.769 --> 00:34:50.150
nothing. He's pulling the strings in the background.

00:34:50.289 --> 00:34:53.329
He's making the show happen. As she's walking

00:34:53.329 --> 00:34:55.409
back, she pats all the guys on the shoulder.

00:34:56.110 --> 00:34:57.929
Back in the side room. Which I'm like, all of

00:34:57.929 --> 00:34:59.849
them, like, are like, I don't know. She's like,

00:35:00.190 --> 00:35:02.369
oh, she hired him. I was like, oh, like, go to

00:35:02.369 --> 00:35:04.929
touch, I don't know, like. Except for Nishiya,

00:35:04.969 --> 00:35:07.530
they all like hold their shoulder where she touched

00:35:07.530 --> 00:35:11.829
them. Yeah, I mean, I guess it meant something

00:35:11.829 --> 00:35:15.590
real big to Taichi and Tsukuba who are both in

00:35:15.590 --> 00:35:18.090
love with her. I'm sure Satomu just feels bad

00:35:18.090 --> 00:35:21.789
for losing. I feel like, well, no, I guess you

00:35:21.789 --> 00:35:23.429
don't want to mess someone's hair up. I feel

00:35:23.429 --> 00:35:25.769
like that would be more endearing. You just get

00:35:25.769 --> 00:35:28.869
a little hair rustle. Yeah, a little too intimate.

00:35:30.230 --> 00:35:33.179
Taichi's perfect hair. Back in the side room,

00:35:33.400 --> 00:35:35.380
Arata goes to pee. He hears them playing in the

00:35:35.380 --> 00:35:38.400
final and waits around outside. In the third

00:35:38.400 --> 00:35:40.900
place game, all five games are neck and neck

00:35:40.900 --> 00:35:42.480
apparently, and they're all trying to keep their

00:35:42.480 --> 00:35:44.179
heads in the game by encouraging each other,

00:35:44.300 --> 00:35:46.079
and Shinobu hates it. She hates that they're

00:35:46.079 --> 00:35:47.519
all encouraging each other. She's like, this

00:35:47.519 --> 00:35:50.780
sucks. We get a flashback of child Shinobu, and

00:35:50.780 --> 00:35:52.679
we learn that she was kept apart from players

00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:54.679
her own age because she would go easy on them,

00:35:54.699 --> 00:35:56.519
and their coach wanted her to be at her best,

00:35:56.559 --> 00:35:58.460
so she only ever played people that were older

00:35:58.460 --> 00:36:00.760
than her. And we get like a little scene where

00:36:00.760 --> 00:36:02.380
she's like playing another girl and their game

00:36:02.380 --> 00:36:04.679
is like apparently was close But then she plays

00:36:04.679 --> 00:36:06.980
against an adult and the other girl sees that

00:36:06.980 --> 00:36:09.820
she was like holding back the whole time I love

00:36:09.820 --> 00:36:11.840
how they draw a tiny shinobu. She's just like

00:36:11.840 --> 00:36:18.199
a little Yeah, blobby kid blobby kid. Yeah, so

00:36:18.199 --> 00:36:23.659
good. She looks like she woke up Mm -hmm So that's

00:36:23.659 --> 00:36:28.480
really sad Yeah. She has game had another card

00:36:28.480 --> 00:36:31.920
they almost took at the same time. So one of

00:36:31.920 --> 00:36:33.739
the coaches volunteers to like referee their

00:36:33.739 --> 00:36:35.659
match. So he just like watches them play so he

00:36:35.659 --> 00:36:39.920
can call it both Shinobu and the Fujisaki coach

00:36:39.920 --> 00:36:42.320
are full focus on the game right now. Well, the

00:36:42.320 --> 00:36:45.739
guy that's right, because each final game has

00:36:45.739 --> 00:36:47.679
their own little ref watching, which is nice.

00:36:47.800 --> 00:36:50.880
I'm like. Now I could believe that he has thoughts

00:36:50.880 --> 00:36:52.860
of the match because he can actually see the

00:36:52.860 --> 00:36:56.219
cards on like everyone in the audience. But I

00:36:56.219 --> 00:36:59.539
think that's morale, isn't it? Arada's like guy.

00:37:00.679 --> 00:37:05.800
I think so. Oh, maybe. I couldn't tell. Rionne

00:37:05.800 --> 00:37:07.300
thinks that she's never lost a match that her

00:37:07.300 --> 00:37:09.400
grandmother was when her grandmother was the

00:37:09.400 --> 00:37:12.460
reader. Back outside, Arata reveals that he sent

00:37:12.460 --> 00:37:14.599
Shinobu to watch the match because the only way

00:37:14.599 --> 00:37:16.679
they'll get more peers at their level is if they

00:37:16.679 --> 00:37:19.219
actively try to boost the people around them.

00:37:20.699 --> 00:37:22.599
Shinobu sees everybody in the room trying their

00:37:22.599 --> 00:37:24.880
hardest and her heart starts to pound in a weird

00:37:24.880 --> 00:37:28.579
ish kind of scene. OK, I don't like the way they

00:37:28.579 --> 00:37:31.579
show just done where like it's like her image

00:37:31.579 --> 00:37:35.559
is like, you know, like, yeah, and not like a

00:37:35.559 --> 00:37:40.639
weird color. Aura coming from her back or whatever

00:37:40.639 --> 00:37:48.860
that was Special attack or something Yeah, anyway,

00:37:48.900 --> 00:37:51.079
she's starting to feel the spirit of camaraderie

00:37:51.079 --> 00:37:57.320
or whatever Hold strong, Shinobu! This is the

00:37:57.320 --> 00:38:01.179
thing! Don't get suckered into the sappy stuff.

00:38:01.199 --> 00:38:03.059
No, we need Shinobu to like these people so she

00:38:03.059 --> 00:38:05.199
can go hang out with them when they go to Karda

00:38:05.199 --> 00:38:06.960
camp next season. So she can be on the show more.

00:38:07.000 --> 00:38:08.840
Yeah, she needs to go hang out with them and

00:38:08.840 --> 00:38:11.440
then she can like play against Satomu, but she's

00:38:11.440 --> 00:38:13.119
like holding back because she's like, oh yeah,

00:38:13.199 --> 00:38:14.960
that's right. I shouldn't just crush everybody.

00:38:15.179 --> 00:38:17.059
And then they like high five at the end or something.

00:38:17.079 --> 00:38:18.860
I don't know if I want that, but something like

00:38:18.860 --> 00:38:21.159
that, you know. We see that Taichi is still down

00:38:21.159 --> 00:38:23.360
by five cards and there's only nine cards left.

00:38:23.980 --> 00:38:27.239
He's reset after early mistakes, but the remaining

00:38:27.239 --> 00:38:29.059
cards are all on his side of the board, so he

00:38:29.059 --> 00:38:31.800
can't get a lead easily. His opponent is confident

00:38:31.800 --> 00:38:33.519
and doesn't fault and doesn't seem to be tired

00:38:33.519 --> 00:38:35.480
at all. He's able to take his opponent's card

00:38:35.480 --> 00:38:38.179
out from under him by being faster. Then Taichi

00:38:38.179 --> 00:38:40.139
takes a card because Taichi is like, I got to

00:38:40.139 --> 00:38:41.800
get my head in the game. Let's fucking go. So

00:38:41.800 --> 00:38:45.460
he goes. and he starts to do better. So it's

00:38:45.460 --> 00:38:46.960
like it seems like Tai Chi might be able to start

00:38:46.960 --> 00:38:49.159
recovering. But then Tsukuba loses his match

00:38:49.159 --> 00:38:51.980
to his weird weeb opponent. But at least his

00:38:51.980 --> 00:38:54.840
opponent is at least nice about it. Anyway, this

00:38:54.840 --> 00:38:56.940
puts them down to two wins for Fujisaki, and

00:38:56.940 --> 00:39:00.280
they only need one more. Yeah, I was going to

00:39:00.280 --> 00:39:03.289
say when the guys like. Oh, you were good enough

00:39:03.289 --> 00:39:06.110
to make me go into second gear. I was like, I

00:39:06.110 --> 00:39:07.550
don't know. This makes me think of one of the

00:39:07.550 --> 00:39:10.329
shows Joe watches. That's like a one piece reference.

00:39:10.590 --> 00:39:13.190
Oh, I guess so. Yeah. Yeah. When he does like

00:39:13.190 --> 00:39:15.269
the weird. No, I haven't watched that much, but

00:39:15.269 --> 00:39:18.550
where he does like the weird thing. Yeah. And

00:39:18.550 --> 00:39:22.010
no, it's like, what was the Ghost in the Shell

00:39:22.010 --> 00:39:26.139
second something? Standalone complex second gig.

00:39:26.239 --> 00:39:30.139
Yeah, that's like that kind of keep saying words

00:39:30.139 --> 00:39:35.500
absurd. Yeah, that's great Yeah, so things are

00:39:35.500 --> 00:39:37.940
looking bad, but then Tai Chi tells me she didn't

00:39:37.940 --> 00:39:39.619
she hi if they're gonna get three wins as we

00:39:39.619 --> 00:39:43.699
cut to credits I like the Shinobu content in

00:39:43.699 --> 00:39:45.639
this episode, because I like Shinobu. I think

00:39:45.639 --> 00:39:48.320
it's nice to have a little tragedy that she never

00:39:48.320 --> 00:39:49.900
got to hang out with anybody, and that's also

00:39:49.900 --> 00:39:51.519
why she's standoffish and doesn't know how to

00:39:51.519 --> 00:39:54.260
get along. That's good. Yeah, I do want to see

00:39:54.260 --> 00:39:57.920
her be, like, blush a little when, like, her

00:39:57.920 --> 00:40:01.119
and Shehiya talk about, like, the daddy bear,

00:40:01.119 --> 00:40:04.519
Snow Maru stuff. Like, I do want to see her just,

00:40:04.519 --> 00:40:08.219
like... have a friend and connect on something

00:40:08.219 --> 00:40:10.699
other than Carla. Well, and this is good because

00:40:10.699 --> 00:40:12.500
it's like the only way she knew how to hang out

00:40:12.500 --> 00:40:14.340
with Arata was to ask him to play a game. And

00:40:14.340 --> 00:40:16.179
he's like, no. And that's it. She got nothing

00:40:16.179 --> 00:40:17.719
else in the tank. She's like, well, I guess I'm

00:40:17.719 --> 00:40:21.559
going home. And work with Chihaya. She'd play

00:40:21.559 --> 00:40:24.739
with you. Yeah. But yeah, I need Shinobu to have

00:40:24.739 --> 00:40:26.300
friends by the end of this. This is what the

00:40:26.300 --> 00:40:30.380
show is really about to me. Yeah. Shinobu's journey.

00:40:30.460 --> 00:40:33.050
Yeah, Shinobu's journey. But she's like. The

00:40:33.050 --> 00:40:35.929
last boss, so they can't have her soften before

00:40:35.929 --> 00:40:38.530
that, unless that's like the strategy that's

00:40:38.530 --> 00:40:41.349
for Chihaya to win. Is that like, I don't know.

00:40:41.969 --> 00:40:43.889
I don't want her to win by that, though. I want

00:40:43.889 --> 00:40:45.809
Shinobu just to make friends. I don't want her

00:40:45.809 --> 00:40:47.369
to get worse in Carta because of it, because

00:40:47.369 --> 00:40:49.429
I don't think that's like I don't think the show

00:40:49.429 --> 00:40:52.369
would think that. Far late. Yeah. But yes, that

00:40:52.369 --> 00:40:56.510
part was good. Yep, yep. They're down. I think

00:40:56.510 --> 00:40:58.130
I'm kind of agreeing with you that the show is

00:40:58.130 --> 00:41:02.030
better when we don't watch Chihaya's games. Yeah.

00:41:02.030 --> 00:41:04.409
Because it's gonna be more interesting. Especially

00:41:04.409 --> 00:41:06.710
true next episode. Thank God this one doesn't

00:41:06.710 --> 00:41:13.570
dwell on it. Yeah. So. Yes. Oh, man. You want

00:41:13.570 --> 00:41:15.030
to get into the last one? I think we should start

00:41:15.030 --> 00:41:18.449
doing it. Yep, yep. Gonna say. These are so straightforward.

00:41:18.909 --> 00:41:20.550
Nah, I was just gonna say we're gonna need to,

00:41:20.690 --> 00:41:22.909
for season three for sure, do four episodes,

00:41:22.929 --> 00:41:25.489
I think. Okay. It's not, it still takes me a

00:41:25.489 --> 00:41:26.550
long time to write it. Sorry. I'm gonna stop.

00:41:27.710 --> 00:41:31.219
Sorry! Okay, okay, I'm playing markers Sarah

00:41:31.219 --> 00:41:33.780
stop talking about not three cat stuff right

00:41:33.780 --> 00:41:36.199
now Stop talking about how nothing happens these

00:41:36.199 --> 00:41:39.699
episodes. I wrote down 2 ,000 words that's way

00:41:39.699 --> 00:41:41.800
less than like I wrote down for the Rose of Versailles

00:41:41.800 --> 00:41:44.820
for every three episodes, but You know, it's

00:41:44.820 --> 00:41:47.400
still still got to do that. Yeah, but that's

00:41:47.400 --> 00:41:49.019
right. You're the one didn't never mind We'll

00:41:49.019 --> 00:41:51.940
decide we'll decide we'll do four next time because

00:41:51.940 --> 00:41:53.260
we need to do at least one more four and then

00:41:53.260 --> 00:41:55.659
a three But we should do the last episode episode

00:41:55.659 --> 00:41:58.980
19 is called. I do not know Where this love will

00:41:58.980 --> 00:42:01.360
take me. We open on Satomu thinking that it's

00:42:01.360 --> 00:42:02.960
surprising that Taichi would declare that they're

00:42:02.960 --> 00:42:05.019
going to get three wins when he mostly never

00:42:05.019 --> 00:42:07.659
talks up his game and always tries to let his

00:42:07.659 --> 00:42:11.440
actions speak for itself. But now he is. Maybe

00:42:11.440 --> 00:42:13.920
he's growing. And by growing, I mean, I need

00:42:13.920 --> 00:42:16.239
Taichi to start talking shit. I need some shit

00:42:16.239 --> 00:42:19.219
talking Taichi. Throw some insults around, my

00:42:19.219 --> 00:42:22.679
man. The trash talk game in this show is terrible.

00:42:22.940 --> 00:42:26.610
I saw like... trash muttering, like mutter under

00:42:26.610 --> 00:42:29.010
your breath something. I know. Only Sudo does

00:42:29.010 --> 00:42:34.309
that. Yes. Yeah, that is a tactic we're not seeing.

00:42:34.309 --> 00:42:37.650
Yeah. Very much. Taichi takes another break and

00:42:37.650 --> 00:42:40.469
tries to come up with an optimal memorization

00:42:40.469 --> 00:42:42.869
strategy to beat his opponent. He tries to forget

00:42:42.869 --> 00:42:45.710
Dr. Hirata's advice and aims for the card in

00:42:45.710 --> 00:42:47.429
the bottom right again, because he's like, I'm

00:42:47.429 --> 00:42:48.590
just going to hit that one. I'm just going to

00:42:48.590 --> 00:42:50.250
hit the bottom right and like mess with this

00:42:50.250 --> 00:42:52.929
guy. He gets lucky and it turns out the card

00:42:52.929 --> 00:42:54.730
at the bottom right is the one that gets read

00:42:54.730 --> 00:42:57.489
and he takes it. Satomu realizes that it's a

00:42:57.489 --> 00:42:59.309
multi -syllable card he sent over earlier and

00:42:59.309 --> 00:43:00.989
remembers that he told Taichi that his opponent

00:43:00.989 --> 00:43:04.050
always prioritizes covering cards which gives

00:43:04.050 --> 00:43:05.949
like a slight opening because there's a bit of

00:43:05.949 --> 00:43:08.750
a delay when you cover a card to like go to take.

00:43:09.130 --> 00:43:10.829
Taichi takes a long time to decide which card

00:43:10.829 --> 00:43:12.610
he's gonna send over and his opponent seems to

00:43:12.610 --> 00:43:14.849
realize that he's being iced out. The next card

00:43:14.849 --> 00:43:16.869
is read and his opponent hits his card in the

00:43:16.869 --> 00:43:20.090
lower right hand corner which Taichi... has taken

00:43:20.090 --> 00:43:22.269
twice in a row, while Tai Chi hits the correct

00:43:22.269 --> 00:43:25.210
card, leading to a double fault, which brings

00:43:25.210 --> 00:43:27.929
his lead down to one. So he hits the wrong card

00:43:27.929 --> 00:43:30.130
and his opponent takes the right card, which

00:43:30.130 --> 00:43:32.989
is the worst thing you can do. So get wrecked,

00:43:33.070 --> 00:43:37.110
NaNoRada. Yeah, whatever your name is. Perfect.

00:43:37.289 --> 00:43:39.389
Yeah, the guy who just, like, I imagine squeezing

00:43:39.389 --> 00:43:42.309
boobs the whole match. I'm very glad to watch

00:43:42.309 --> 00:43:46.639
this man get destroyed. Taichi thinks that they've

00:43:46.639 --> 00:43:48.760
all played five matches today over the course

00:43:48.760 --> 00:43:53.539
of nine hours. God, what a long day. Yeah, that's

00:43:53.539 --> 00:43:56.579
so much. And memorizing the field must be kind

00:43:56.579 --> 00:43:59.760
of hard at this point. Taichi's game is close

00:43:59.760 --> 00:44:02.039
and we learned that Chihaya is just one card

00:44:02.039 --> 00:44:05.139
away from winning. We learned that Rion and Chihaya's

00:44:05.139 --> 00:44:07.119
match is getting so wild. They're both just kind

00:44:07.119 --> 00:44:09.260
of doing whatever now at this point. Like, we're

00:44:09.260 --> 00:44:11.079
kind of done with strategy here because everyone's

00:44:11.079 --> 00:44:13.829
just trying to go as fast as possible. Chihaya

00:44:13.829 --> 00:44:16.170
is on her last legs, but she takes the card and

00:44:16.170 --> 00:44:19.190
wins anyway, winning the match and bringing the

00:44:19.190 --> 00:44:23.710
score up to 2 -1. Rion loses and Chihaya immediately

00:44:23.710 --> 00:44:27.010
falls asleep, like face down. So now it's down

00:44:27.010 --> 00:44:29.489
to just Mashita and Tai Chi. No awareness for

00:44:29.489 --> 00:44:32.550
the stakes of the other two matches on your team.

00:44:32.550 --> 00:44:36.960
On the floor. My good lord. Ugh, yep. We check

00:44:36.960 --> 00:44:40.800
in Chihaya winning. Yeah, what a nice change

00:44:40.800 --> 00:44:43.679
of pace on the board We check in on the sheet

00:44:43.679 --> 00:44:45.380
and it turns out he's just really experienced

00:44:45.380 --> 00:44:47.360
has gotten into the groove. So he's keeping it

00:44:47.360 --> 00:44:49.920
together Tai Chi's opponent takes a card. So

00:44:49.920 --> 00:44:52.860
he only needs to win one more While Tai Chi needs

00:44:52.860 --> 00:44:56.320
to win three cards He thinks about this about

00:44:56.320 --> 00:44:58.239
how this is their best chance to win as a team.

00:44:58.280 --> 00:45:02.639
So it's now or never both games Go down to luck

00:45:02.639 --> 00:45:06.679
of the draw. It's one to one Somehow, woohoo!

00:45:07.059 --> 00:45:10.460
It happened again! Not our first rodeo. Not our

00:45:10.460 --> 00:45:13.440
first rodeo. Both Taichi and Nishida have been

00:45:13.440 --> 00:45:15.539
coordinating this entire time to ensure that

00:45:15.539 --> 00:45:18.340
they both have the same card at the end, so they

00:45:18.340 --> 00:45:21.420
can win the 1v1. So we have learned from our

00:45:21.420 --> 00:45:23.380
match against Retro's team a couple episodes

00:45:23.380 --> 00:45:25.860
ago, and I like this. Pretty good, pretty good

00:45:25.860 --> 00:45:29.750
setup. That's a good, good - I don't know. Storytelling,

00:45:29.909 --> 00:45:33.170
yay. Pay off. Pay off. Yeah, for the time we

00:45:33.170 --> 00:45:34.349
spent learning all that strategy. There's so

00:45:34.349 --> 00:45:36.150
much time we learned about this. And I was complaining.

00:45:36.349 --> 00:45:38.329
I'm like, this never happened, so who cares?

00:45:38.389 --> 00:45:42.889
But here we go. Yeah. Yep, yep. The Fujisaki

00:45:42.889 --> 00:45:45.110
coach realizes this and is like, uh -oh, we're

00:45:45.110 --> 00:45:47.170
in trouble. Kana thinks about the two remaining

00:45:47.170 --> 00:45:49.469
poems. The poem on Taichi's side is about a love

00:45:49.469 --> 00:45:51.469
lost, and Taichi hopes that Chihaya would wake

00:45:51.469 --> 00:45:57.170
up and watch him, which is extremely funny. Don't.

00:45:57.269 --> 00:46:02.929
Stop. On him, Kana. Stop it! This whole sequence

00:46:02.929 --> 00:46:06.050
is so funny. The Fujisaki coach thinks that their

00:46:06.050 --> 00:46:07.789
captain has good luck, so they'll probably be

00:46:07.789 --> 00:46:10.309
fine. But their captain is realizing that their

00:46:10.309 --> 00:46:12.090
opponents just synchronized all their cards and

00:46:12.090 --> 00:46:13.750
is like, oh, I've been underestimating these

00:46:13.750 --> 00:46:16.670
guys. Retro sees this too, and is like, impressed

00:46:16.670 --> 00:46:18.130
that they learned to do this in such a short

00:46:18.130 --> 00:46:20.829
period of time. How can he focus on their match

00:46:20.829 --> 00:46:22.469
when he's in a match? I think his is over. He

00:46:22.469 --> 00:46:25.250
couldn't possibly see their card. Because like,

00:46:25.269 --> 00:46:28.739
unless his went down to a 1v1, too. Oh, that's

00:46:28.739 --> 00:46:30.619
true. You know that it's the last card. Well,

00:46:30.699 --> 00:46:32.659
we don't find out who won third place, I guess.

00:46:32.699 --> 00:46:34.980
Oh, we don't. Who cares? I'm guessing it's the

00:46:34.980 --> 00:46:39.059
ladies. No, it's probably the dudes. I don't

00:46:39.059 --> 00:46:42.199
know. Because we love retro. We love retro so

00:46:42.199 --> 00:46:45.260
much. He looks like Johnny Depp. They should

00:46:45.260 --> 00:46:48.019
have a 50 -50 chance, but no one has ever seen

00:46:48.019 --> 00:46:51.179
Tai Chi win a 50 -50 chance before, which is

00:46:51.179 --> 00:46:55.139
so funny. And everybody, including Tai Chi, does

00:46:55.139 --> 00:46:58.619
not think he is going to win this one. But he

00:46:58.619 --> 00:47:00.079
also doubts that he's gonna be able to steal

00:47:00.079 --> 00:47:02.280
from his opponent. A dead card is read and it

00:47:02.280 --> 00:47:04.659
becomes obvious that both Tai Chi and Nishida

00:47:04.659 --> 00:47:06.559
are trying to take from their opponent instead

00:47:06.559 --> 00:47:09.639
of defending their own card. Their opponents

00:47:09.639 --> 00:47:12.320
find this very weird, but it keeps happening

00:47:12.320 --> 00:47:15.599
after one more dead card is read. I don't know

00:47:15.599 --> 00:47:19.579
how bad his luck is. Never bet on Tai Chi's card

00:47:19.579 --> 00:47:23.119
being red. Very funny. So they're all in on defending.

00:47:24.320 --> 00:47:25.719
And it doesn't seem like it's going to be possible

00:47:25.719 --> 00:47:28.599
to steal from these guys. Samira can't handle

00:47:28.599 --> 00:47:30.360
the pressure and is like, I just have to trust

00:47:30.360 --> 00:47:33.559
in Tai Chi. I love Tai Chi. Tai Chi thinks that

00:47:33.559 --> 00:47:36.860
he's unlucky forever as he goes through the remaining

00:47:36.860 --> 00:47:39.820
dead cards in his head. He prays to God to let

00:47:39.820 --> 00:47:42.219
him have this one instance of luck as Chihaya

00:47:42.219 --> 00:47:44.860
wakes up and the reader reads the card on Taichi's

00:47:44.860 --> 00:47:47.380
side. Both Taichi and Nishida take the card and

00:47:47.380 --> 00:47:50.260
win, and Sumire starts cheering, but Kana quiets

00:47:50.260 --> 00:47:52.500
her while the reader finishes the second verse

00:47:52.500 --> 00:47:57.300
of the poem. Then Chihaya tackles Taichi and

00:47:57.300 --> 00:47:59.119
Nishida and the rest of the gang join in and

00:47:59.119 --> 00:48:02.159
there's for a group hug. Mizuzawa wins the team

00:48:02.159 --> 00:48:04.880
tournament. Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! They did

00:48:04.880 --> 00:48:08.809
it! Oh, okay. No, I feel like I was going to

00:48:08.809 --> 00:48:12.369
say something. OK, I don't understand. So does

00:48:12.369 --> 00:48:16.369
the reader just like stop reading when people

00:48:16.369 --> 00:48:19.730
slap and then resume? I think she just keeps

00:48:19.730 --> 00:48:22.530
reading it, but like it happens so instantly

00:48:22.530 --> 00:48:24.570
because they probably took it on the first syllable.

00:48:24.570 --> 00:48:26.989
But like you have to say a whole line of poetry.

00:48:27.289 --> 00:48:30.269
Yeah, I guess they just. give us the dialogue

00:48:30.269 --> 00:48:32.489
between characters without that playing behind

00:48:32.489 --> 00:48:34.250
it. Yeah, I'm Sumire though. I'm like, I don't

00:48:34.250 --> 00:48:36.809
care about this poem. I'm happy my boys won,

00:48:36.809 --> 00:48:39.650
you know? Finally, Nishida coming through. Finally.

00:48:39.670 --> 00:48:43.849
He doesn't blow it. God. Yeah, man, man, man.

00:48:44.590 --> 00:48:46.710
After the match, the Fujisaki coach says it's

00:48:46.710 --> 00:48:48.530
her fault for building such a technical team,

00:48:48.550 --> 00:48:50.869
which I don't really understand. The blonde guy

00:48:50.869 --> 00:48:52.929
is shocked to see that Rion is crying, but the

00:48:52.929 --> 00:48:54.730
coach tells her that no one on their team could

00:48:54.730 --> 00:48:56.610
have beaten Shihaya, so she shouldn't feel so

00:48:56.610 --> 00:48:59.300
bad. but also she can't just rely on her grandmother's

00:48:59.300 --> 00:49:01.480
reading to win. After the match, Chihaya remembers

00:49:01.480 --> 00:49:03.739
that Arata says he doesn't care about team games

00:49:03.739 --> 00:49:06.659
and is sad, but then she walks out into the opening

00:49:06.659 --> 00:49:09.059
or like the main room and sees Arata waiting

00:49:09.059 --> 00:49:12.179
for them. She asks if he was watching. Her team

00:49:12.179 --> 00:49:14.679
is now the best in Japan. She became the best

00:49:14.679 --> 00:49:16.739
without becoming queen. So don't say you don't

00:49:16.739 --> 00:49:18.780
care about team games, Arata. And then she starts

00:49:18.780 --> 00:49:21.340
crying and Arata just kind of agrees as we cut

00:49:21.340 --> 00:49:25.019
to credits. He just like grunts in agreement.

00:49:25.660 --> 00:49:31.400
A multiple time. She's like, yeah. Yeah. Oh,

00:49:31.400 --> 00:49:36.539
my God. Look, we get our we're going to get some

00:49:36.539 --> 00:49:42.139
I'm sure to be cut short time with a ride out.

00:49:42.139 --> 00:49:44.980
In the same room together. Six episodes from

00:49:44.980 --> 00:49:49.059
the end. Yeah. Well, yeah. Freaking Shiaya. Oh,

00:49:49.139 --> 00:49:52.530
I like the part where it's like. Pretend all

00:49:52.530 --> 00:49:55.070
I am is ears and my one finger and then like

00:49:55.070 --> 00:49:57.190
all our other fingers fade away. It's like she's

00:49:57.190 --> 00:50:05.449
flipping us off. Yeah. Uh huh. Yeah, so there

00:50:05.449 --> 00:50:08.329
we go. Our ladies are injured. Our ladies are

00:50:08.329 --> 00:50:10.949
injured. Our dainty lady hands. Tai Chi finally

00:50:10.949 --> 00:50:15.869
gets a dub. Nishida finally gets a dub. Tai Chi

00:50:15.869 --> 00:50:18.429
should just get Renkei. They should just give

00:50:18.429 --> 00:50:23.039
it to him. Oh, God, he's got to do it whole another

00:50:23.039 --> 00:50:25.500
thing tomorrow where the chances of luck is going

00:50:25.500 --> 00:50:28.599
to work out. I doubt it. We need to have an episode

00:50:28.599 --> 00:50:30.340
where they all hang out this evening or something.

00:50:30.500 --> 00:50:32.019
I know we're not going to. I know we're just

00:50:32.019 --> 00:50:34.199
going to go immediately individual play because

00:50:34.199 --> 00:50:37.699
this is a never ending sports anime, but I need

00:50:37.699 --> 00:50:41.300
them to hang. I need. like an entire 10 minute

00:50:41.300 --> 00:50:44.079
scene where Arata is in the room with them and

00:50:44.079 --> 00:50:46.239
talking to them. Never. It's not going to happen.

00:50:46.320 --> 00:50:48.159
I know, because it's like he's going to be like.

00:50:48.159 --> 00:50:50.579
The show is good. Makes you think that it's more

00:50:50.579 --> 00:50:53.280
than just a sports anime, but not really. It's

00:50:53.280 --> 00:50:55.880
just teasing us with the prospect of more and

00:50:55.880 --> 00:50:57.820
then doesn't deliver. It's going to be he's going

00:50:57.820 --> 00:51:00.239
to be like, I'll see you tomorrow and then leave.

00:51:00.320 --> 00:51:02.079
That's what we're going to get like one minute

00:51:02.079 --> 00:51:05.440
of it being like, congratulations. I'll see you

00:51:05.440 --> 00:51:08.440
tomorrow out. And then Shinobu is going to walk

00:51:08.440 --> 00:51:10.170
by and be like. Like, yeah, see you tomorrow,

00:51:10.449 --> 00:51:12.690
Chihaya out. That's it, that's all we're gonna

00:51:12.690 --> 00:51:15.230
get. And then she's gonna be like, oh, I can't

00:51:15.230 --> 00:51:18.050
play because of my stupid finger. And that's

00:51:18.050 --> 00:51:20.110
why we have to have a season three. We can't

00:51:20.110 --> 00:51:24.550
have back -to -back victories. Games really are

00:51:24.550 --> 00:51:27.170
better when it's not Chihaya we're watching.

00:51:28.489 --> 00:51:30.329
All of the best games. Yeah, so you think with

00:51:30.329 --> 00:51:32.210
her being injured means we don't have to watch

00:51:32.210 --> 00:51:35.730
her play, but I now remember a huge part of season

00:51:35.730 --> 00:51:39.099
three as the whole goddamn... injury and overcoming

00:51:39.099 --> 00:51:40.920
it. I'm like, oh, God, not looking forward to

00:51:40.920 --> 00:51:42.860
that. That's like a whole thing. OK, great. Awesome.

00:51:43.260 --> 00:51:47.719
All right. Look forward to season three. Oh,

00:51:47.719 --> 00:51:51.000
no. OK. But we're not done with season two yet.

00:51:51.480 --> 00:51:54.440
So at least we get to watch our other characters

00:51:54.440 --> 00:51:58.719
shine in Chihaya's absence. Oh, my God. Yeah,

00:51:58.719 --> 00:52:04.139
we we. Oh, boy, man. But yeah, so far, the best

00:52:04.139 --> 00:52:07.529
the best match is this this this season. Think

00:52:07.529 --> 00:52:09.809
is Tomo's match where he takes from his that's

00:52:09.809 --> 00:52:10.969
still the coolest thing that's happened where

00:52:10.969 --> 00:52:14.829
he takes from his opponent in the 50 -50 Yeah,

00:52:14.849 --> 00:52:17.949
that's cool 50 -50s man. This team is riddled

00:52:17.949 --> 00:52:25.070
with them The stakes must be high So that was

00:52:25.070 --> 00:52:29.110
cool and then What else cool happened? Oh the

00:52:29.110 --> 00:52:31.349
part where Tai Chi gets retro to fault. That

00:52:31.349 --> 00:52:33.929
was good, too Yeah, that was good 50 -50s. That's

00:52:33.929 --> 00:52:35.469
the only thing that ever happens. You're right

00:52:37.299 --> 00:52:39.719
I mean, I guess it's easier than explaining.

00:52:40.000 --> 00:52:42.280
I don't know, but they love explaining all the,

00:52:42.280 --> 00:52:46.539
like, specific match situations. It'd be nice

00:52:46.539 --> 00:52:49.460
to have us get to the point where one of our

00:52:49.460 --> 00:52:51.599
characters, like, plays against someone and they

00:52:51.599 --> 00:52:53.019
know that they're going to beat them, but they

00:52:53.019 --> 00:52:55.219
can also appreciate that this person will then

00:52:55.219 --> 00:52:58.059
become a better player. Like, they get the turn

00:52:58.059 --> 00:53:01.619
to be like, ah, yes, this person is a threat

00:53:01.619 --> 00:53:04.019
in the making. But that's what happened with

00:53:04.019 --> 00:53:07.630
Tai Chi with the boob guy being like, I underestimated

00:53:07.630 --> 00:53:14.210
him. Whatever his name is. Yeah. Pails in comparison,

00:53:14.449 --> 00:53:18.809
errata. Double. That's what happens when you

00:53:18.809 --> 00:53:22.170
date a freshman in your senior and then you also

00:53:22.170 --> 00:53:25.019
fantasize about your coach. You lose. That's

00:53:25.019 --> 00:53:27.559
yeah. It's team of losers. You guys are just

00:53:27.559 --> 00:53:29.920
born to be losers. I'm sorry. Well, I still don't

00:53:29.920 --> 00:53:33.699
think the thing is, I still have no idea. I have

00:53:33.699 --> 00:53:35.599
no idea what's going on with Nishida. He just

00:53:35.599 --> 00:53:37.199
wins. Why does he win this match? Why did he

00:53:37.199 --> 00:53:39.400
lose last match? What happened? Because he's

00:53:39.400 --> 00:53:44.659
a guy and both their girls are hurt. Man up for

00:53:44.659 --> 00:53:50.159
them or whatever. He is that guy. You saw that

00:53:50.159 --> 00:53:53.760
guy in one man. What happened? What happened

00:53:53.760 --> 00:53:58.920
to him? And well. I don't know. At least it came

00:53:58.920 --> 00:54:01.360
down to the original three members of the card

00:54:01.360 --> 00:54:05.340
club to bring home the wins. Yeah. All right.

00:54:05.460 --> 00:54:08.019
Well, we got six episodes left, which means we're

00:54:08.019 --> 00:54:10.579
going to watch three and three and then we're

00:54:10.579 --> 00:54:15.559
done with season two. Yeah. Yes. So two more

00:54:15.559 --> 00:54:20.190
weeks. If you guys are. Still hanging on. If

00:54:20.190 --> 00:54:22.429
anyone's left. I mean, these were good episodes.

00:54:22.530 --> 00:54:24.230
The thing is, like, these were the most like

00:54:24.230 --> 00:54:26.510
the hype sports anime I've gotten so far, where

00:54:26.510 --> 00:54:28.250
it's like, yeah, you want to see this guy win.

00:54:28.309 --> 00:54:30.090
Like, I'm not really even noticing how long these

00:54:30.090 --> 00:54:35.889
episodes are. Yeah, I. Yes. And I know it's like,

00:54:35.889 --> 00:54:38.329
oh, Sarah said this is one of her favorites and

00:54:38.329 --> 00:54:41.349
she's like shit on it constantly. I'm still not

00:54:41.349 --> 00:54:43.150
quite seen, especially when you're like, I'm

00:54:43.150 --> 00:54:46.949
tired of watching Shia. I just don't care. It's

00:54:46.949 --> 00:54:52.360
my. Let's say it's my favorite bingeable anime

00:54:52.360 --> 00:54:55.519
and then Hard Capture Sakura is just my favorite

00:54:55.519 --> 00:54:58.440
anime. And then now I'm afraid to cover that.

00:54:58.909 --> 00:55:01.230
And then you go, technically, for the one good

00:55:01.230 --> 00:55:03.849
thing, no, thank God, is it not that good? My

00:55:03.849 --> 00:55:05.789
favorite is? I'm not saying, I haven't, hold

00:55:05.789 --> 00:55:07.829
on, I haven't said any, I haven't said St. Jehiafru

00:55:07.829 --> 00:55:11.130
is bad, okay? I had a good time here. I just

00:55:11.130 --> 00:55:13.449
don't think it uses its time effectively, and

00:55:13.449 --> 00:55:15.289
it kind of isn't selling me what I thought it

00:55:15.289 --> 00:55:17.190
was gonna sell me, which is like, I want this,

00:55:17.650 --> 00:55:19.809
like, I want the romance between the boys, you

00:55:19.809 --> 00:55:21.409
know what I mean? Like, I want them to be fighting

00:55:21.409 --> 00:55:24.090
for affection, but Aurora just isn't in the show.

00:55:24.949 --> 00:55:27.469
He just isn't in the show still. He still isn't.

00:55:27.949 --> 00:55:30.210
We're almost at season three and he's barely

00:55:30.210 --> 00:55:34.090
here. Well, maybe one day he'll be a character.

00:55:34.429 --> 00:55:36.969
Maybe. Maybe one day he'll be a character. I

00:55:36.969 --> 00:55:41.929
mean, we got to like... Opening! I didn't skip

00:55:41.929 --> 00:55:43.889
the opening on one of these and I was like, yeah,

00:55:44.050 --> 00:55:47.329
it really implies that there would be more love

00:55:47.329 --> 00:55:50.610
triangle tension than there is. It's just like...

00:55:50.409 --> 00:55:53.869
A given, she hires an errata and then he's like,

00:55:53.949 --> 00:55:55.829
he doesn't have to spend time with her now because

00:55:55.829 --> 00:55:57.949
she's going to be hanging around forever. And

00:55:57.949 --> 00:56:01.030
then Tai Chi, it's just like, should just give

00:56:01.030 --> 00:56:02.690
up. I just don't know how you come away from

00:56:02.690 --> 00:56:05.210
this, not just feeling bad for Tai Chi the whole

00:56:05.210 --> 00:56:07.710
time, because like he's doing his best, man.

00:56:07.909 --> 00:56:09.829
He's doing everything he's trying to do his best.

00:56:09.949 --> 00:56:13.050
He's unlucky. He never gets like what he wants.

00:56:13.190 --> 00:56:16.099
He never like. He's always coming out at the

00:56:16.099 --> 00:56:19.360
short end of the stick. It's like he might usurp.

00:56:19.619 --> 00:56:22.059
Ayane is my favorite side character of the shows

00:56:22.059 --> 00:56:25.199
we've covered. I'm not sure yet. Yeah, maybe.

00:56:25.500 --> 00:56:28.239
He's such a cool guy. I love Tai Chi so much.

00:56:28.860 --> 00:56:32.099
Yes. Oh, we'll see. Who is that? Should we have

00:56:32.099 --> 00:56:36.260
like Tai Chi and trying to think of someone from

00:56:36.260 --> 00:56:38.460
Angelic Layer who'd be like a Tai Chi, but I

00:56:38.460 --> 00:56:40.599
don't think they really have one. No one's cool

00:56:40.599 --> 00:56:43.500
enough for that. Freak. Well, the guy who thinks

00:56:43.500 --> 00:56:49.159
he's cool. Freaking whoosh hair. Yeah, the guy

00:56:49.159 --> 00:56:50.980
was kind of a love interest, but not really.
