WEBVTT 00:00:12.260 --> 00:00:17.059 Welcome to Shoujo, where today we are finishing 00:00:17.059 --> 00:00:21.899 off Season 2 of Chihayafuru. And I'm your host 00:00:21.899 --> 00:00:27.320 Sarah, joined by Joe, the man who puts Joe in 00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:32.549 Shoujo. What's up, Joe? Not much. You're pumped 00:00:32.549 --> 00:00:35.310 to be done with Tihaya Furu for a little bit. 00:00:35.869 --> 00:00:38.229 You know, I mean, it's getting like it was getting 00:00:38.229 --> 00:00:40.969 all right at the end. Like, you know, these episodes. 00:00:41.490 --> 00:00:43.229 Yeah, these are good episodes. I get how like 00:00:43.229 --> 00:00:47.289 this is like a fun show to watch. It's not the 00:00:47.289 --> 00:00:49.049 best to talk about, I feel like, necessarily. 00:00:49.630 --> 00:00:52.530 But I didn't have a bad time at the end. Yeah. 00:00:53.649 --> 00:00:56.390 Episodes quite enjoyable. But before we jump. 00:00:56.649 --> 00:01:00.469 into those and all our rankings and how it stands 00:01:00.469 --> 00:01:04.909 against our other series so far. We will catch 00:01:04.909 --> 00:01:09.849 up. Would you like to inform us of your life 00:01:09.849 --> 00:01:14.930 at the moment, Joe? Yeah. So I took, I started 00:01:14.930 --> 00:01:17.269 taking, so I'm going to go to, I'm going to go 00:01:17.269 --> 00:01:20.290 to Japan. later this year, and I'm like, oh, 00:01:20.349 --> 00:01:23.150 I used to I got a minor in Japanese nine years 00:01:23.150 --> 00:01:25.010 ago. I should like take a little course and see 00:01:25.010 --> 00:01:27.890 if I can refresh some of that stuff. And so, 00:01:27.890 --> 00:01:29.790 you know, I'm like, I don't know what course 00:01:29.790 --> 00:01:31.469 I'm supposed to take because like they just have 00:01:31.469 --> 00:01:33.790 this there's like a because there's like an organization 00:01:33.790 --> 00:01:37.379 here that does that. But they just have all these 00:01:37.379 --> 00:01:39.439 different courses and they're like you can just 00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:42.140 like refer to the online thing to see what you 00:01:42.140 --> 00:01:43.859 can do But it's basically just like the index 00:01:43.859 --> 00:01:46.920 of a textbook. That's just like self introductions 00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:50.819 recognizing things Saying your likes and dislikes 00:01:50.819 --> 00:01:53.099 and I'm like I have no idea where I fall on this 00:01:53.099 --> 00:01:54.620 because I don't know what the actual Exercises 00:01:54.620 --> 00:01:57.400 are so I'm like, whatever I'll go like one class 00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:00.799 above the like entry level thing, right? So that's 00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:02.599 what I go to I go to my first session yesterday 00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:05.760 and let me tell you that's like a little bit 00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:11.719 too low for what I'm able to do. So like, they, 00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:13.759 you know, they're like, oh, we're not going to 00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:17.879 learn how to like, write hiragana in this class. 00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:21.659 And I'm like, oh, okay, which is like the like, 00:02:21.939 --> 00:02:23.419 like normal alphabet, they're going to learn 00:02:23.419 --> 00:02:25.699 how to write katakana, which is like the borrowed 00:02:25.699 --> 00:02:30.280 words alphabet. And for reference, I know several 00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:33.139 kanji, so it's just like, okay, this is very 00:02:33.139 --> 00:02:35.659 low considering where I should be. So I'm about 00:02:35.659 --> 00:02:37.960 to figure out what to do for that. Joe is advanced. 00:02:38.139 --> 00:02:41.740 And for anyone wondering how could Joe go to 00:02:41.740 --> 00:02:45.319 Japan without Sarah, don't worry. I was invited. 00:02:45.539 --> 00:02:52.439 I'm just too poor to go. But one day I will return 00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:56.219 to the homeland of anime. This will be Joe's 00:02:56.219 --> 00:02:59.080 first time going. And I'm very excited for you. 00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:02.080 Yeah. So that's that's what I did on Monday. 00:03:02.659 --> 00:03:05.400 I didn't watch any other like anime or anything, 00:03:05.659 --> 00:03:09.000 but I did finish season two of The Sopranos. 00:03:09.219 --> 00:03:12.180 Mm hmm. So that's exciting. And this is your 00:03:12.180 --> 00:03:14.500 first time watching. Right. Yep. That's my first 00:03:14.500 --> 00:03:17.500 time watching The Sopranos. Pretty good. Yeah. 00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:20.060 I get why people like The Sopranos. It's fun. 00:03:20.379 --> 00:03:22.960 Yeah. I've been watching a lot of when it was 00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:26.629 popular. They have a lot of the actors on Sesame 00:03:26.629 --> 00:03:28.590 Street. Like they have like special guests on 00:03:28.590 --> 00:03:31.009 stuff like that. Extremely funny to watch. That 00:03:31.009 --> 00:03:34.870 is funny. That's good. Yeah. Oh boy. That's what 00:03:34.870 --> 00:03:38.949 I've been up to. How about you? Let's see. Love 00:03:38.949 --> 00:03:45.650 Island season seven of USA has concluded. The 00:03:45.650 --> 00:03:49.050 least romantic Love Island season I've ever watched. 00:03:49.069 --> 00:03:53.210 Oh no. That's the whole thing. Drama Island. 00:03:54.569 --> 00:03:59.169 Like a total drama island. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I 00:03:59.169 --> 00:04:03.370 never watched that show, but I do remember it. 00:04:03.909 --> 00:04:06.110 So, yeah, interesting. Although it was funny 00:04:06.110 --> 00:04:08.370 because we had a couple basically break up in 00:04:08.370 --> 00:04:12.449 the finale and it was very funny. Nice. Because 00:04:12.449 --> 00:04:15.509 he just very blatantly hated her and was just 00:04:15.509 --> 00:04:18.129 forcing her to end it so that she couldn't then 00:04:18.129 --> 00:04:22.339 go and like, been a story that like, He dumped 00:04:22.339 --> 00:04:26.019 her and it was so blah blah blah yada yada yada, 00:04:26.060 --> 00:04:28.600 but somehow they came in third place in that 00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:31.800 fourth place So a real couple lost to the couple 00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:34.660 that broke up. That's pretty sad They must be 00:04:34.660 --> 00:04:38.120 yeah, that's that's how this season. It's just 00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:43.389 a very much sums up the season ending But they 00:04:43.389 --> 00:04:46.110 announced that Love Island Games will be back 00:04:46.110 --> 00:04:48.769 for season two. It's almost been two years now. 00:04:49.129 --> 00:04:52.329 So which is like a very mediocre spin -off, but 00:04:52.329 --> 00:04:57.189 hey, it's something. I'll take it. And then I 00:04:57.189 --> 00:05:00.110 got to watch the UK season that's been going 00:05:00.110 --> 00:05:02.589 the same time that I didn't watch simultaneously 00:05:02.589 --> 00:05:05.509 this year. And then Big Brother just started. 00:05:06.769 --> 00:05:10.089 So lots of more reality for me. to talk about 00:05:10.089 --> 00:05:12.730 to you all who don't give a rat's ass about it. 00:05:12.949 --> 00:05:15.350 So look forward to that. I'm seeing Leia at the 00:05:15.350 --> 00:05:19.269 end of the tunnel, the puppy tunnel, because 00:05:19.269 --> 00:05:23.569 Pepper is, we're getting there. I'm no longer 00:05:23.569 --> 00:05:26.569 thinking she has diabetes, like pie training 00:05:26.569 --> 00:05:31.050 is working. I'm seeing she'll be a good dog once 00:05:31.050 --> 00:05:34.709 she gets over the puppy phase, which, you know, 00:05:34.709 --> 00:05:41.240 it's just terrible overall. Yeah. Let's see. 00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:45.379 Bachelorette trip coming up soon. I'm not ready 00:05:45.379 --> 00:05:49.060 for it. I still got to get my pink night outfit 00:05:49.060 --> 00:05:52.899 and still got to get lingerie for the bride. 00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:58.000 The bride being my sister. Cool. So that'll be 00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:03.339 that. Let's see. Yeah. I don't know. Some bummer 00:06:03.339 --> 00:06:08.129 stuff. We've lost a family. dog and that was 00:06:08.129 --> 00:06:13.750 very upsetting. So I had to like skip my live 00:06:13.750 --> 00:06:20.029 stream for work last week and stuff, but nothing 00:06:20.029 --> 00:06:25.209 else, I think, really going on with my life. 00:06:25.930 --> 00:06:28.350 That's good. Maybe that's good. Is that good? 00:06:28.610 --> 00:06:31.310 Yeah, it's fine. I move in like a month, so I 00:06:31.310 --> 00:06:34.250 took down all my posters and even that took a 00:06:34.250 --> 00:06:40.459 little bit of time. But I always pack way too 00:06:40.459 --> 00:06:43.180 soon before moving. And then I'm only moving 00:06:43.180 --> 00:06:45.560 to a different building within my same complex, 00:06:45.579 --> 00:06:47.839 so it's really going to be like a low -key move. 00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:54.180 But yeah, so that's all I can think of that's 00:06:54.180 --> 00:06:57.740 coming up. Yeah, so, but we've got a lot to talk 00:06:57.740 --> 00:07:00.759 about with this being a finale episode, so let's 00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:04.139 get to it. Okay. All right. We'll get to the 00:07:04.139 --> 00:07:08.939 last three episodes of Chai for season two. Episode 00:07:08.939 --> 00:07:13.740 23 is called To See the Beautiful Cherry Blossoms. 00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:16.319 We open on Tai Chi winning his match against 00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:19.839 Retro by 18 cards. So get wrecked, Retro. Just 00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:23.279 just get out of here, dude. You're not a star 00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:27.959 of the show. Just a comedy character. Brutalizing 00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:31.939 them. Elsewhere, Arata is crushing the boob guy 00:07:31.939 --> 00:07:35.360 in Class A, so we're not totally done with that 00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:38.899 character, unfortunately, and may not be for 00:07:38.899 --> 00:07:41.259 a while, but at least he gets destroyed here. 00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:44.759 Unsurprisingly, Shinobu has also cleaned up. 00:07:45.100 --> 00:07:47.040 The Fujisaki coach has her students recording 00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:49.939 the match as he steps out of the room. And she 00:07:49.939 --> 00:07:52.139 goes to talk to Arata's coach. She's like, hey, 00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:54.300 he's a real good player. And the coach is like, 00:07:54.379 --> 00:07:56.899 yeah, he's just like that. Anyway, do you see 00:07:56.899 --> 00:07:58.480 any other notable players at this tournament? 00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:00.680 And then she thinks about Chihaya. And then she 00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:02.920 turns around to see Chihaya asleep in the hallway, 00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:06.519 just like right behind them. She could get pickpocketed, 00:08:07.139 --> 00:08:12.509 like, why? Yeah, just falling asleep in corridors, 00:08:12.790 --> 00:08:15.910 you know, normal stuff. A freak could take photos 00:08:15.910 --> 00:08:20.329 of you asleep. Oh, my God. She wakes up and she's 00:08:20.329 --> 00:08:22.509 like, and the Fujisaki coach is like, Oh, I'll 00:08:22.509 --> 00:08:24.610 have my student apologize for injuring you. But 00:08:24.610 --> 00:08:26.629 she is like, no, if I just swung better, I would 00:08:26.629 --> 00:08:28.810 have gotten hurt, which we turn out is not true. 00:08:29.939 --> 00:08:32.340 But that's what she says here. The door opens 00:08:32.340 --> 00:08:35.360 and Arata and Shinobu appear victorious. And 00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:37.799 they are moving on to the final. Ultimate showdown. 00:08:38.019 --> 00:08:39.559 Ultimate showdown. Shinobu is like, wow, it's 00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:42.059 just you and me, Arata. Ooh, I'm so scared. But 00:08:42.059 --> 00:08:45.639 he's like, not intimidated or biased at all. 00:08:45.860 --> 00:08:48.759 He's just like, ha ha ha. Chihaya is like, dude, 00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:50.840 I got to watch this game. This is the best. This 00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:53.299 is going to be all the whole season has been 00:08:53.299 --> 00:08:55.179 leading up to this because this whole season 00:08:55.179 --> 00:08:58.360 has been this one tournament. But then Nishida 00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:01.139 and Kana show up, and they're like, why aren't 00:09:01.139 --> 00:09:04.820 you checking your phone, Chihaya? Kana got out 00:09:04.820 --> 00:09:06.860 in the semifinals, but both Satomu and Taichi 00:09:06.860 --> 00:09:09.360 are in their final match, so we got, we're stacked 00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:11.539 to the final. Someone else's too, but that doesn't 00:09:11.539 --> 00:09:13.059 matter. Someone else's too, but don't worry about 00:09:13.059 --> 00:09:16.139 it. Who cares? But they're both playing on the 00:09:16.139 --> 00:09:18.340 first floor while Class A Final is on the second 00:09:18.340 --> 00:09:20.480 floor, so you can only go and see one of them. 00:09:20.899 --> 00:09:23.019 Nishida's like, oh wait, it's friggin' Arata 00:09:23.019 --> 00:09:24.940 and Shinobu in the final, and then he's like, 00:09:25.179 --> 00:09:27.620 man, I'm gonna go watch that one. Actually, I 00:09:27.620 --> 00:09:30.799 don't care about my teammates, I'm Nishida. Taichi 00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:32.720 doesn't beat us, he's like, totally on a roll 00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:36.710 anyway, so we should go and watch this one. Terrible. 00:09:37.210 --> 00:09:40.330 He's the whole one who is like Satoumu. You're 00:09:40.330 --> 00:09:43.029 not even like a part of the team anymore, man. 00:09:43.190 --> 00:09:47.250 They don't know what to do with them. Yeah. But 00:09:47.250 --> 00:09:49.610 then we remember that Taichi told Jihai to focus 00:09:49.610 --> 00:09:51.610 on practicing for the Queen match. So he's like, 00:09:51.610 --> 00:09:55.149 oh, he'd want you to go see this game. Elsewhere, 00:09:55.269 --> 00:09:58.090 Sudo chastises his team for losing. Retro escapes 00:09:58.090 --> 00:10:00.370 punishment by sulking because he got beaten by 00:10:00.370 --> 00:10:04.059 Taichi so badly. Because he got beat he's got 00:10:04.059 --> 00:10:07.820 he got like just destroyed crushed He got like 00:10:07.820 --> 00:10:10.320 he only got like five cards from Tai Chi who 00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:14.220 he thought was his rival. Yeah, nah Tai Chi's 00:10:14.220 --> 00:10:15.639 like you're not gonna be in season three bud. 00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:19.620 You're out of here Sadly, I feel like of course 00:10:19.620 --> 00:10:22.159 he will see him He had to like hang on to this 00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:24.860 menagerie of terrible boys, but we'll we'll talk 00:10:24.860 --> 00:10:29.580 about that more In the BNC final Sumire brings 00:10:29.580 --> 00:10:32.190 water to Tai Chi's Atomu and is like wow The 00:10:32.190 --> 00:10:33.950 others sure are taking their time. I wonder if 00:10:33.950 --> 00:10:36.210 they're gonna show up. Maybe Chihaya fell asleep. 00:10:36.450 --> 00:10:38.370 Ha ha ha. Maybe she's gonna go watch Arata instead. 00:10:38.509 --> 00:10:39.889 Isn't that right, Tai Chi? And Tai Chi's like, 00:10:40.070 --> 00:10:41.309 yeah, that's probably what she's doing. I don't 00:10:41.309 --> 00:10:44.029 think she's coming. The Class A final will be 00:10:44.029 --> 00:10:45.690 Arata and Shinobu, and there's no way she's gonna 00:10:45.690 --> 00:10:48.690 miss that. He's like... Dead set on, like, yeah, 00:10:48.690 --> 00:10:50.549 she's not gonna be here. Tai Chi's opponent is 00:10:50.549 --> 00:10:52.529 Rion, and her team is mad at her for losing the 00:10:52.529 --> 00:10:54.669 team tournament. She nervously tells her team 00:10:54.669 --> 00:10:57.090 that she's gonna try to win, and that wins them 00:10:57.090 --> 00:10:58.970 all back, because, hey, look, she's, like, into 00:10:58.970 --> 00:11:02.009 it. Yay. So much for the iron mass. So much. 00:11:02.009 --> 00:11:04.730 I have a hard time believing one match is gonna 00:11:04.730 --> 00:11:07.610 change. Yeah, it mostly just seems like you just 00:11:07.610 --> 00:11:08.470 didn't talk to her. It's just her gimmick for 00:11:08.470 --> 00:11:12.190 an episode. You know? Yeah, that too. Yep. Well, 00:11:12.190 --> 00:11:16.210 he just basically alienated her by picking on 00:11:16.210 --> 00:11:21.330 her. Yeah. This guy sucks. Rion's like, I gotta 00:11:21.330 --> 00:11:24.450 win this for the team. So we have some second 00:11:24.450 --> 00:11:27.529 years that can carry on the like, Fuji Saki team 00:11:27.529 --> 00:11:29.230 next year because our entire team was stacked 00:11:29.230 --> 00:11:32.269 with third years. The match starts and the cards 00:11:32.269 --> 00:11:34.690 are dealt. But Rion is surprised to see that 00:11:34.690 --> 00:11:38.210 Taichi looks incredibly bored. He's just like 00:11:38.210 --> 00:11:40.230 sulking. He's just like, why do I have to be 00:11:40.230 --> 00:11:43.649 in class B? Why am I not in class A? This sucks. 00:11:43.750 --> 00:11:45.690 Why do I have to play this? Man, whatever. This 00:11:45.690 --> 00:11:49.070 sucks. Well, I think he's just trying not to 00:11:49.070 --> 00:11:51.710 care. Oh, it's great. He doesn't care about the 00:11:51.710 --> 00:11:53.610 fact that she has there. He can't be bothered 00:11:53.610 --> 00:11:57.230 by it. That's this is the ultimate truth of this 00:11:57.230 --> 00:12:01.169 episode. Mm hmm. But I guess he's good. He's 00:12:01.169 --> 00:12:03.509 good if he just isn't bothered. He's good if 00:12:03.509 --> 00:12:05.750 he just doesn't want to be there. He's like. 00:12:07.739 --> 00:12:10.159 Mostly his issue is him being in his own head, 00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:13.100 questioning if he can overcome natural abilities. 00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:15.059 So if he just doesn't think about it, then he 00:12:15.059 --> 00:12:17.840 does better. And then, yeah, so he just needs 00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:22.299 to freaking chill out more often. But also, Ryon 00:12:22.299 --> 00:12:25.399 barely lost to Shihaya. So I would think he would 00:12:25.399 --> 00:12:28.299 think this was a good test of skill. Well, if 00:12:28.299 --> 00:12:31.039 his heart was in it more. I guess so. I mean, 00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:32.919 well, I guess he doesn't know that she only lost 00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:34.919 or like she only got close because her grandmother 00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:37.870 was reading or whatever. Yeah, I guess they don't 00:12:37.870 --> 00:12:40.549 just I guess they don't know don't talk like 00:12:40.549 --> 00:12:42.549 we don't know they've never talked to each other 00:12:42.549 --> 00:12:46.250 Let alone about how their matches were even though 00:12:46.250 --> 00:12:48.950 this is a tournament that had Individual matches 00:12:48.950 --> 00:12:50.909 the following day where you kind of play against 00:12:50.909 --> 00:12:53.309 people that your teammates played again. Yeah 00:12:53.309 --> 00:12:55.850 I don't know. Anyway, Tai Chi hears Kana in terms 00:12:55.850 --> 00:12:58.230 of see that both her and she hi are here He's 00:12:58.230 --> 00:13:00.590 like what the hell why'd she come here? They're 00:13:00.590 --> 00:13:02.289 all supposed to be cheering like they're all 00:13:02.289 --> 00:13:04.700 supposed to be in the top floor this will be 00:13:04.700 --> 00:13:06.220 watching the class a they're all here to cheer 00:13:06.220 --> 00:13:08.200 him but he's like i don't get you chiaya i don't 00:13:08.200 --> 00:13:10.159 get why you're here fine whatever i'm just gonna 00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:12.460 win this game as quickly as possible so you can 00:13:12.460 --> 00:13:14.480 go and watch the end of the class a final how 00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:16.539 about that at the class a final the room is packed 00:13:16.539 --> 00:13:18.659 everyone wonders how this is gonna go will errata 00:13:18.659 --> 00:13:20.600 be good enough to beat the queen what is he gonna 00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:24.259 be contender for the master title who knows they 00:13:24.259 --> 00:13:26.620 set up their board uh but just before starting 00:13:26.620 --> 00:13:28.659 shinobu tells errata that the best players are 00:13:28.659 --> 00:13:31.639 the ones that did it all alone This match is 00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:33.120 going to prove that they don't need friends. 00:13:33.379 --> 00:13:39.379 And Arata's like, mm, OK. What? Yeah, he's just 00:13:39.379 --> 00:13:42.600 chilling. He's just the most chill guy. Real 00:13:42.600 --> 00:13:45.519 intense. Yeah, he's the most just chill guy that 00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:48.039 came out for a good time, you know, even though 00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:50.940 he's such a pouty boy. Not that long ago. I know 00:13:50.940 --> 00:13:53.000 he was so angsty and now he's just like, ah, 00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:55.379 whatever. Play starts and they both take cards 00:13:55.379 --> 00:13:57.320 so fast that the audience has a hard time knowing 00:13:57.320 --> 00:14:00.100 who is who's winning the cards. when they do 00:14:00.100 --> 00:14:02.700 it. But Shinobu wins the first two cards. Arata 00:14:02.700 --> 00:14:04.539 isn't deterred, though, and he takes a card before 00:14:04.539 --> 00:14:06.919 the first syllable was fully spoken somehow. 00:14:07.259 --> 00:14:10.700 How do you do that? I don't know, because the 00:14:10.700 --> 00:14:13.200 just, you know, normally we're explained when 00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:15.320 Chihaya does it because she has incredible hearing, 00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:16.940 but that's not something we've ever been told 00:14:16.940 --> 00:14:20.279 that Arata possesses. So how? So how? I don't 00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:23.870 know, but he's doing it, I guess. Shinobu apologizes 00:14:23.870 --> 00:14:25.490 to the cards, saying that she's not going to 00:14:25.490 --> 00:14:27.409 be able to get all of them. Meanwhile, in the 00:14:27.409 --> 00:14:29.590 Class B final, Taichi and Ryoune are sucking 00:14:29.590 --> 00:14:31.909 it up by faulting constantly. Everyone is like, 00:14:32.029 --> 00:14:34.669 what is happening? This is the worst game I've 00:14:34.669 --> 00:14:38.309 ever seen. Ty, she's like, shit, man, I just 00:14:38.309 --> 00:14:40.730 need to win this dumb match so GIA can go upstairs. 00:14:41.029 --> 00:14:44.289 I just need to get through this. And Kana is 00:14:44.289 --> 00:14:46.250 like, well, at least Rion is screwing up because 00:14:46.250 --> 00:14:48.149 the reader is doing a terrible job. And then 00:14:48.149 --> 00:14:50.149 she realizes that the reader is nervous because 00:14:50.149 --> 00:14:52.710 he's having his final exam to be promoted to. 00:14:53.049 --> 00:14:56.529 So like everyone just having a bad time. Which 00:14:56.529 --> 00:15:01.470 is like this. I feel like do that in a lower 00:15:01.470 --> 00:15:06.340 stakes. round, not the finals to have some guy 00:15:06.340 --> 00:15:09.799 possibly messing up this match. It's terrible. 00:15:10.100 --> 00:15:12.759 It's going so bad for everybody. I mean, Tai 00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:14.759 Chi is just doing bad because Jihai is here. 00:15:15.019 --> 00:15:17.139 But like, it's very funny to be like, this is 00:15:17.139 --> 00:15:19.659 the worst game I've ever seen. Rion tries to 00:15:19.659 --> 00:15:20.919 get it together and starts to be able to play 00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:23.320 better by moving super quick. Tai Chi starts 00:15:23.320 --> 00:15:26.080 falling behind and then he starts to spiral thinking 00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:28.159 about how he can't beat people with natural talent. 00:15:28.419 --> 00:15:31.750 He's like, I can't win quick like this. He stands 00:15:31.750 --> 00:15:33.549 up and thinks that he just needs to think of 00:15:33.549 --> 00:15:37.610 Rion like Chihaya not like The master which is 00:15:37.610 --> 00:15:39.370 he's been obsessing about the master match this 00:15:39.370 --> 00:15:40.769 whole time because he's like am I ever gonna 00:15:40.769 --> 00:15:43.210 be good enough to beat that guy So he's like, 00:15:43.289 --> 00:15:45.230 I'm just gonna focus on beating Chihaya He's 00:15:45.230 --> 00:15:47.110 never beaten Chihaya, but he does have a standard 00:15:47.110 --> 00:15:49.330 strategy against her where he splits all of his 00:15:49.330 --> 00:15:51.289 cards So she can't just jump to the right one. 00:15:51.750 --> 00:15:55.889 So this is like the anti -speed Strat the move 00:15:55.889 --> 00:16:00.009 get it He starts under yeah, he starts undercutting 00:16:00.009 --> 00:16:02.250 her momentum and negates her speed advantage 00:16:02.250 --> 00:16:05.409 He'll probably lose the single syllable cards 00:16:05.409 --> 00:16:07.389 on speed because that's just going straight to 00:16:07.389 --> 00:16:09.889 it But he should be able to split the rest and 00:16:09.889 --> 00:16:13.029 beat her through like good memorization. That's 00:16:13.029 --> 00:16:14.789 basically his plan. He starts to chip away from 00:16:14.789 --> 00:16:16.929 her and thinks that he'll have to use the strategy 00:16:16.929 --> 00:16:20.070 to beat Chihaya. He wins by nine cards. Rion 00:16:20.070 --> 00:16:21.830 just doesn't have the stamina to play five games 00:16:21.830 --> 00:16:23.529 in a row, so she just couldn't pick it back up. 00:16:23.950 --> 00:16:25.610 Yeah, because, yeah, I guess that's true, because 00:16:25.610 --> 00:16:27.389 today is the first day that she's doing that, 00:16:27.409 --> 00:16:29.289 because she's normally just kept on reserve. 00:16:31.049 --> 00:16:34.809 But yeah, nine cards is a lot. It's a lot. Really 00:16:34.809 --> 00:16:37.940 recovered. Taichi goes to report his win and 00:16:37.940 --> 00:16:40.220 then rushes to drag Chihaya upstairs to the Class 00:16:40.220 --> 00:16:42.840 A match. But like while he's dragging her, she 00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:44.860 just goes totally limp and starts crying and 00:16:44.860 --> 00:16:47.399 he's like, what are you doing? Like what's happening? 00:16:47.779 --> 00:16:49.759 But it turns out she's just so happy. He finally 00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:52.299 made it to Class A. She congratulates him while 00:16:52.299 --> 00:16:54.639 crying on the floor as we cut to credits. He 00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:56.820 did it. He made it to Class A and he does not 00:16:56.820 --> 00:17:00.259 give a shit at all. Well, he's put so much pressure 00:17:00.259 --> 00:17:03.659 on himself and then... Because he feels like 00:17:03.659 --> 00:17:05.740 she's missing out on something by supporting 00:17:05.740 --> 00:17:08.819 him, which is very sad. Yeah. But that's what 00:17:08.819 --> 00:17:12.720 she's trained, conditioned him to feel like... 00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:16.599 She's trained him like a dog. To feel underappreciated. 00:17:16.599 --> 00:17:20.940 He expects nothing. Yeah. This would be me. This 00:17:20.940 --> 00:17:23.460 is the most real to be like, oh, you're congratulating 00:17:23.460 --> 00:17:25.599 for me in class A. Oh, yeah, cool. I'm the last 00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:27.700 one in the team to make it. But all right. Yeah, 00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:29.880 I guess I did a good job. Thanks. Like, I don't 00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:32.660 care. Well, he's trying to rush her to see if 00:17:32.660 --> 00:17:37.539 they can watch the last bit of the class A thing. 00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:42.839 Yeah. But yeah, we're so happy for Tai Chi. We're 00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:46.279 so happy for Tai Chi. This is Tai Chi's biggest. 00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:49.440 Uh -huh. Finally. Oh, finally. Yep. This is his 00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:52.960 biggest win in these episodes, because let me 00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:54.819 tell you, he's going to be taking some Ls soon. 00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:56.940 But that's just back to normal. But that's just 00:17:56.940 --> 00:17:58.259 back to normal. So let's celebrate when we can. 00:17:58.259 --> 00:18:00.240 That's true. This is the big Tai Chi win. He 00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:03.960 makes it to Class A by kind of dominating Rion 00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:06.539 still. I mean, nine cards is nothing. Yeah. That's 00:18:06.539 --> 00:18:09.440 not a close game. Freaking crusher. Any other 00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:12.720 thoughts about episode nine? No, let's keep rolling. 00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:14.859 Any of Satomu's game? I'll just tell you that. 00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:20.509 No. Ah, upsetting. Episode 24 is called When 00:18:20.509 --> 00:18:23.009 I Must Hide. We open back up and Taichi tells 00:18:23.009 --> 00:18:25.230 Chihaya to stop crying. We got to go catch the 00:18:25.230 --> 00:18:27.849 game upstairs. And then he drags her up and blots 00:18:27.849 --> 00:18:30.730 her tears with his shirt. God, I'm just glad 00:18:30.730 --> 00:18:35.210 we don't have more stupid, snotty whatever. Why 00:18:35.210 --> 00:18:38.609 does this is a Jose? Why are they doing that? 00:18:39.390 --> 00:18:42.579 So upsetting. Yeah, Chihaya is like, hey, if 00:18:42.579 --> 00:18:44.720 you're class A now we can be rivals and she gets 00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:47.599 all like competitive with him and he's like knock 00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:51.400 it off. Kana, Sumire, and Retro for some reason 00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:53.599 all peek their heads out from the room and tells 00:18:53.599 --> 00:18:55.440 them that they can go catch the class A game. 00:18:55.500 --> 00:18:57.559 They'll stay behind and cheer on Satomu. Retro 00:18:57.559 --> 00:18:58.900 doesn't say this. He's just there. I don't know 00:18:58.900 --> 00:19:00.980 why he's there. Chihaya is like, no, I'm the 00:19:00.980 --> 00:19:02.660 team captain. I should stay here with the team. 00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:04.740 But then Taichi grabs her hand and is like, we're 00:19:04.740 --> 00:19:08.630 going to see you later. Sumire sees Taichi grabbing 00:19:08.630 --> 00:19:10.490 Chihaya's hand and is like, damn it, this isn't 00:19:10.490 --> 00:19:12.470 how this is supposed to go. I'm supposed to win 00:19:12.470 --> 00:19:15.170 something this season too. But Kana tries to 00:19:15.170 --> 00:19:17.309 cheer everybody up by referencing a poem. Yeah, 00:19:17.470 --> 00:19:20.890 I like that. Sumire is like, I don't get what's 00:19:20.890 --> 00:19:27.269 up with OA senpai. She's just always using poems 00:19:27.269 --> 00:19:30.349 as like a band -aid for, I don't know. It was 00:19:30.349 --> 00:19:34.049 just really nice that she... Sumire is observant. 00:19:34.359 --> 00:19:36.799 Yeah, and notices things which I guess is why 00:19:36.799 --> 00:19:39.000 she's good. She deals with the human part of 00:19:39.000 --> 00:19:42.400 the show in a Interesting way. Yeah, not just 00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:45.759 alo. Yeah, that's not enough Sumire Yeah, unfortunately, 00:19:46.160 --> 00:19:47.920 this might be the most we get out of her. I don't 00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:51.019 think we get anything else now Suddenly someone 00:19:51.019 --> 00:19:53.660 starts yelling it's Tsukuba who's been who's 00:19:53.660 --> 00:19:55.880 only one card away from winning the class D finals 00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:58.660 Nobody but the coach even noticed he was there 00:19:58.660 --> 00:20:02.829 which is extremely funny Uh, Chihaya and Taichi 00:20:02.829 --> 00:20:04.930 rush up to the second floor, but Chihaya doesn't 00:20:04.930 --> 00:20:07.210 want to go after all. She says she's going to 00:20:07.210 --> 00:20:09.369 go back and starts turning away as her finger 00:20:09.369 --> 00:20:11.829 starts to throb. Taichi's like, what's your deal? 00:20:11.890 --> 00:20:14.630 But Chihaya doesn't know what to say. She's being 00:20:14.630 --> 00:20:17.789 a big scaredy cat. Yeah. Big baby. She can't 00:20:17.789 --> 00:20:20.690 handle it. Oh. Outside. This is why nothing happens 00:20:20.690 --> 00:20:24.970 in this show. Yeah. God. Oh, man. Outside, the 00:20:24.970 --> 00:20:26.349 coach that's like out there tells them that the 00:20:26.349 --> 00:20:28.289 room is full anyway, so they have a hard time 00:20:28.289 --> 00:20:30.730 getting in. But then the Fujisaki coach asks 00:20:30.730 --> 00:20:32.529 the other coach if they can make some room for 00:20:32.529 --> 00:20:34.309 them because she's brought boob guy with her 00:20:34.309 --> 00:20:36.109 and she's like, well, we want to go. And then 00:20:36.109 --> 00:20:38.210 she encourages Chihaya to watch the match. So 00:20:38.210 --> 00:20:41.490 the four of them are about to go in. They wait 00:20:41.490 --> 00:20:44.130 to go in. But as the door opens, Chihaya is engulfed 00:20:44.130 --> 00:20:46.890 in a sea of water. She's like, wait a minute. 00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:49.559 There's no water here. This is just a normal 00:20:49.559 --> 00:20:51.819 match, but it feels like something is happening. 00:20:52.019 --> 00:20:55.720 What could be happening, Sarah? Arada gulp down 00:20:55.720 --> 00:21:02.660 that Arada card. Oh, man. It's just like last 00:21:02.660 --> 00:21:07.400 season finale. Yeah, it sure is. Anyway, Arada 00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:10.519 is winning five to eleven with a six card lead. 00:21:10.819 --> 00:21:15.390 So damn, something happened. Wild. Nishida kind 00:21:15.390 --> 00:21:17.289 of recaps the match saying that they were neck 00:21:17.289 --> 00:21:19.130 and neck at the beginning, but then Arata started 00:21:19.130 --> 00:21:23.349 moving before the first syllable was read consistently, 00:21:23.569 --> 00:21:25.990 and Shinobu just couldn't counter that. Also, 00:21:26.049 --> 00:21:31.369 Arata plays really aggressively. Yeah, the referee 00:21:31.369 --> 00:21:34.390 guy or whatever is like, yeah, he definitely 00:21:34.390 --> 00:21:39.150 takes after his grandpa, like dirty Arata. fight 00:21:39.150 --> 00:21:42.089 and dirty kind of moves. I guess I didn't quite 00:21:42.089 --> 00:21:44.430 like he sends her stuff. Is that what it is? 00:21:44.769 --> 00:21:47.650 Or? Yeah, I guess just the way he plays is like 00:21:47.650 --> 00:21:50.890 very much like doing it with the intention of, 00:21:50.890 --> 00:21:54.279 I don't know, like pinpointing. But that's like 00:21:54.279 --> 00:21:56.819 how you should play or at least at this level 00:21:56.819 --> 00:21:59.079 with this kind of opponent. Yeah, I don't know. 00:21:59.119 --> 00:22:01.200 Maybe just because he seems like such a cheery 00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:04.720 guy. I don't quite get it. Yeah, yeah. We hear 00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:06.700 some of Shinobu's thoughts thinking about what 00:22:06.700 --> 00:22:09.299 she can do or what mistakes she's made, and she 00:22:09.299 --> 00:22:11.099 decides that only targeting some of the cards 00:22:11.099 --> 00:22:13.210 were her mistake. So she's like, all right, fucking 00:22:13.210 --> 00:22:15.450 I'm going for all of them now. She takes two 00:22:15.450 --> 00:22:17.890 more cards, hitting them hard to like knock multiple 00:22:17.890 --> 00:22:20.609 of them. But it turns out she's kind of guessing. 00:22:20.829 --> 00:22:23.069 So she's like kind of gambling now. Well, she's 00:22:23.069 --> 00:22:25.710 not using the same precision she was before. 00:22:26.289 --> 00:22:28.670 Right. However, the audience knows that the strategy 00:22:28.670 --> 00:22:31.269 does not counter Arada's strengths in any way. 00:22:31.670 --> 00:22:33.650 He just straight up faster and can accelerate 00:22:33.650 --> 00:22:35.609 like crazy. That's his thing. He accelerates 00:22:35.609 --> 00:22:37.549 real fast, which I don't really understand is 00:22:37.549 --> 00:22:39.849 different than being. just fast, but I guess 00:22:39.849 --> 00:22:42.630 it is. Oh, I guess there's not enough distance. 00:22:42.869 --> 00:22:46.390 I don't know. Acceleration is everything. I mean, 00:22:46.549 --> 00:22:48.210 yeah, because like just being quick is the same 00:22:48.210 --> 00:22:50.349 as accelerating fast, right? Well, no, I guess 00:22:50.349 --> 00:22:53.470 it's like if you you could wait longer before 00:22:53.470 --> 00:22:56.869 reacting if you have faster acceleration. I don't. 00:22:57.089 --> 00:22:58.730 Dude, they're just trying to think of cool new 00:22:58.730 --> 00:23:02.109 terms to use is like. differentiating players. 00:23:02.410 --> 00:23:03.990 Yeah, it does feel like we're doing some Mario 00:23:03.990 --> 00:23:06.130 Kart stats where it's like, oh, this person has 00:23:06.130 --> 00:23:08.130 fast acceleration, but this person has a faster 00:23:08.130 --> 00:23:10.450 top speed, which is like, OK, but I don't really 00:23:10.450 --> 00:23:14.049 understand what that means. Yeah. Arata knocks 00:23:14.049 --> 00:23:16.150 the card so hard it's about to hit Chihaya directly 00:23:16.150 --> 00:23:19.289 in the face, but then Tai Chi blocks it. Arata 00:23:19.289 --> 00:23:22.150 sees this and apologizes to them. Despite his 00:23:22.150 --> 00:23:24.809 crazy acceleration, he's always so relaxed in 00:23:24.809 --> 00:23:27.069 a game. Chihaya thinks once again about, uh, 00:23:27.170 --> 00:23:29.329 Takana's explanation for the Chihaya Furu card 00:23:29.329 --> 00:23:31.910 as a, like, perfectly spinning top, and she's 00:23:31.910 --> 00:23:33.569 like, wow, you know what that really describes? 00:23:33.670 --> 00:23:36.490 It really describes Arata. Very powerful, but 00:23:36.490 --> 00:23:40.690 perfectly in balance. Arata. Hmm. Yeah, impassionate. 00:23:40.829 --> 00:23:42.589 Impassionate. Right, that's basically it. Oh, 00:23:42.809 --> 00:23:45.250 Poppy, don't... She can jump out of her crate 00:23:45.250 --> 00:23:49.119 sometimes. Hold on. Carry on. Across the room, 00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:51.220 Arata's parents are dismayed. They're like, oh, 00:23:51.359 --> 00:23:53.000 Shinobu can't even beat him. What are we going 00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:56.000 to do? It's pretty funny. Murau thinks about 00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:58.240 how Arata has put in a lot of work over time 00:23:58.240 --> 00:24:00.319 to get better. He wasn't born a great player, 00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:02.619 after all, and we get an Arata flashback where 00:24:02.619 --> 00:24:04.579 his grandpa teaches him how to enjoy the game 00:24:04.579 --> 00:24:07.119 through practice. Anyway, he got better at Carta 00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:10.380 and also he got taller after he took his break. 00:24:10.500 --> 00:24:12.519 So now he's big and tall. So they're like, oh, 00:24:12.619 --> 00:24:14.980 maybe he just grew into himself, which is OK. 00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:18.079 That's cool. Everyone is like maybe this guy 00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:21.440 can beat Master Show The score is now 9 to 4 00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:23.619 and Shinobu is getting annoyed at the audience 00:24:23.619 --> 00:24:26.920 She pulls out a snow Maru towel out of her snow 00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:29.119 Maru bag and starts dabbing the sweat off of 00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:32.339 her face She tries to get it together remembering 00:24:32.339 --> 00:24:34.099 that she can beat some pretty good players today 00:24:34.099 --> 00:24:36.200 So she should be able to do this. Shinobu takes 00:24:36.200 --> 00:24:39.000 a card from Murata by slipping under his hand 00:24:39.000 --> 00:24:42.900 like barely getting in there Then they both hit 00:24:42.900 --> 00:24:44.980 the next card so hard it scatters all of the 00:24:44.980 --> 00:24:47.700 cards in the area. It was at the same time, but 00:24:47.700 --> 00:24:49.299 it was on Shinobu's side. So technically she 00:24:49.299 --> 00:24:51.960 wins it. Chihaya saw that Shinobu actually got 00:24:51.960 --> 00:24:54.799 the card first anyway. So like she doubly got 00:24:54.799 --> 00:24:59.660 it, I guess. Chihaya starts swiping the air and 00:24:59.660 --> 00:25:02.039 Tai Chi has to grab her arm to stop swiping the 00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:03.819 air in the middle of someone else's match. Come 00:25:03.819 --> 00:25:07.299 on. Come on, Chihaya. The practice swings are 00:25:07.299 --> 00:25:12.190 so lame. It was very selfish of you. Not be paying 00:25:12.190 --> 00:25:16.250 attention and just oh good lord Shinobu defiantly 00:25:16.250 --> 00:25:18.549 glares at errata thinking that she has a closer 00:25:18.549 --> 00:25:21.190 connection to the cards while errata just smiles 00:25:21.190 --> 00:25:24.549 and it pisses shinobu off Also, she's like just 00:25:24.549 --> 00:25:26.890 totally exhausted at this point even still she 00:25:26.890 --> 00:25:28.769 takes the next several cards But in the end it 00:25:28.769 --> 00:25:32.250 isn't enough and errata wins by two cards They 00:25:32.250 --> 00:25:34.410 bow and shinobu gives the biggest fake smile. 00:25:34.410 --> 00:25:37.230 I've ever seen as errata is declared the winner 00:25:37.480 --> 00:25:40.119 He immediately puts his hand on shinobu's forehead 00:25:40.119 --> 00:25:42.079 and informs her that she has a fever probably 00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:44.339 from walking around in the rain yesterday Anyway, 00:25:44.339 --> 00:25:46.259 it sure is amazing He did so well considering 00:25:46.259 --> 00:25:49.539 that shinobu thinks to herself that she always 00:25:49.539 --> 00:25:51.059 wanted to play against an opponent puts up a 00:25:51.059 --> 00:25:52.839 fight So she's like, uh, yeah, of course I did 00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:55.279 that well because I'm the queen as we cut to 00:25:55.279 --> 00:25:59.920 credits. Yeah, so basically it's implying Our 00:25:59.920 --> 00:26:02.960 errata would not have one if she had been in 00:26:02.960 --> 00:26:06.319 top condition. Yeah, so it's not like shinobu 00:26:06.980 --> 00:26:09.880 Truly lost. It's just the conditions. But we 00:26:09.880 --> 00:26:13.400 got what we wanted for the sake of a plot of 00:26:13.400 --> 00:26:16.000 Rada winning so he can go to Tokyo for college. 00:26:16.000 --> 00:26:20.380 He can be in the show now. Yay. Finally. Join 00:26:20.380 --> 00:26:25.019 the cast. Surely the show is not going to be 00:26:25.019 --> 00:26:28.119 in college for quite some time. Yeah. Second 00:26:28.119 --> 00:26:30.279 years. Yeah. They need to come up with some excuse 00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:31.660 for him to be there more. He's like, oh, I'm 00:26:31.660 --> 00:26:34.710 like, I'm going to a lot of. college visits, 00:26:34.910 --> 00:26:37.890 prep school or something. Yeah. Yeah. They're 00:26:37.890 --> 00:26:41.130 going to have to do something. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 00:26:41.269 --> 00:26:44.130 Anything else about this match? Oh, yeah. Good. 00:26:44.230 --> 00:26:49.069 Good. Remember when you thought that the Nobu 00:26:49.069 --> 00:26:52.829 might be related to Arata? Yeah. When we first 00:26:52.829 --> 00:26:55.089 saw her, or you thought she was a ghost person? 00:26:55.390 --> 00:26:57.029 I thought she was a ghost. And then I'm like, 00:26:57.150 --> 00:27:00.269 she's just like a girl version of Arata. I'm 00:27:00.269 --> 00:27:02.369 still kind of right about that is the thing. 00:27:02.539 --> 00:27:04.900 Yeah. She's like what Arata would have been if 00:27:04.900 --> 00:27:07.839 she didn't have friends. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. 00:27:08.339 --> 00:27:11.880 Probably. Yeah. Yeah. Well, let's let's get to 00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:14.160 our last episode. All right. We'll finish up 00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:17.400 episode 25. The final episode of Chihaya Fury 00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:19.859 season two is called I Can Look Up and See the 00:27:19.859 --> 00:27:23.109 Snowy Cap of Mount Fuji. All right, his parents 00:27:23.109 --> 00:27:24.809 are like, well, shit, what are we going to do 00:27:24.809 --> 00:27:27.529 now? His dad's like, I don't know. Maybe we can 00:27:27.529 --> 00:27:29.549 make him win like two tournaments or something. 00:27:29.849 --> 00:27:32.190 But then his mom tells him that his grandpa took 00:27:32.190 --> 00:27:34.970 out an education life insurance policy. And the 00:27:34.970 --> 00:27:37.029 dad's like, I'm sorry. Oh, what? That sounds 00:27:37.029 --> 00:27:40.809 fake. He's like, well. A cost aside, don't we 00:27:40.809 --> 00:27:42.809 want him like not moving too far away? And the 00:27:42.809 --> 00:27:45.250 mom says that she's not looking forward to being 00:27:45.250 --> 00:27:47.809 alone with just her husband, but there isn't 00:27:47.809 --> 00:27:50.450 much they can do about it. And in exchange, I 00:27:50.450 --> 00:27:53.049 do not understand. Terrible parents, terrible 00:27:53.049 --> 00:27:57.279 marriage. Why is this in here? I can see why 00:27:57.279 --> 00:27:59.380 you hung out with his grandpa so much. Like, 00:27:59.440 --> 00:28:01.400 why is she dropping the casual? Well, I fucking 00:28:01.400 --> 00:28:03.940 hate you. He doesn't like his dad. His grandpa 00:28:03.940 --> 00:28:06.359 didn't like his dad. Even his mom doesn't like 00:28:06.359 --> 00:28:10.059 his dad. God damn. This was the weirdest. I had 00:28:10.059 --> 00:28:12.259 to like pause the video and be like, did she? 00:28:12.420 --> 00:28:17.380 What? What is happening? I don't know. Resigned 00:28:17.380 --> 00:28:21.660 marriage. Yikes. Yep. No wonder he wants to go 00:28:21.660 --> 00:28:25.869 to Tokyo. Get the hell out of there. Tai Chi 00:28:25.869 --> 00:28:27.910 thinks that Arata is gonna come to Tokyo now. 00:28:28.170 --> 00:28:30.109 Arata walks up to him and gives him a high five 00:28:30.109 --> 00:28:32.130 and Tai Chi is like, what are you doing? And 00:28:32.130 --> 00:28:33.910 Arata is like, oh, we're supposed to like high 00:28:33.910 --> 00:28:35.769 five as winners, right? Because you won your 00:28:35.769 --> 00:28:39.230 match, didn't you? Congrats, man. We're supposed 00:28:39.230 --> 00:28:42.230 to high five. Tai Chi's like, oh. Look at him 00:28:42.230 --> 00:28:44.450 trying to be a human. Yeah, look at that. We're 00:28:44.450 --> 00:28:46.349 friends, right? This is what friends do. This 00:28:46.349 --> 00:28:51.049 is human interaction. Nice. So nice. Suddenly, 00:28:51.430 --> 00:28:53.750 a hand grabs the back of Arata's shirt and drags 00:28:53.750 --> 00:28:56.769 him down. It's Chihaya, and she congratulates 00:28:56.769 --> 00:29:01.029 him from the floor for winning, but also asks 00:29:01.029 --> 00:29:03.390 how he can be so relaxed when he plays, because 00:29:03.390 --> 00:29:05.589 she's like, I get super tense when I play. How 00:29:05.589 --> 00:29:08.670 do you do it, Arata? It's so Chihaya -furu of 00:29:08.670 --> 00:29:12.710 you to be impassioned. He's about to explain, 00:29:12.769 --> 00:29:14.730 but then they get an announcement that the winners 00:29:14.730 --> 00:29:16.730 need to gather for the closing ceremony, so we 00:29:16.730 --> 00:29:19.680 don't get to hear his explanation. I think he 00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:22.059 actually was gonna explain it or he was just 00:29:22.059 --> 00:29:24.140 gonna be like, eh, I don't know, I'll just do 00:29:24.140 --> 00:29:25.279 my thing. I was just like, oh man, I just, you 00:29:25.279 --> 00:29:27.599 know. Or you have to learn yourself, Chiaya. 00:29:27.779 --> 00:29:30.200 Why are you such a chill guy, Arata? We need 00:29:30.200 --> 00:29:33.200 Arata over the chill guy meme. Chill guy meme. 00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:36.220 Yo, you don't know that one? I'm not a very good 00:29:36.220 --> 00:29:41.980 meme -er, meme consumer. The chill guy? My new 00:29:41.980 --> 00:29:45.799 character? A chill guy? I'm gonna show you a 00:29:45.799 --> 00:29:48.619 picture of him. And we're going to edit a picture 00:29:48.619 --> 00:29:51.299 of a rod of space over him. That's what we're 00:29:51.299 --> 00:29:56.519 going to do. But anyway. Yeah. Oh, I've never 00:29:56.519 --> 00:29:58.500 seen this in my life. You've never seen him. 00:29:59.160 --> 00:30:02.059 No, what is that from? He's just a chill guy, 00:30:02.119 --> 00:30:10.000 you know? OK, OK. Memes are so funny. Yeah, you 00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:13.319 know what? You're right. What's happening? Chihaya 00:30:13.319 --> 00:30:15.579 thinks she's worked hard, but something about 00:30:15.579 --> 00:30:17.950 this isn't right. She's like, shouldn't I be 00:30:17.950 --> 00:30:21.190 a contender this season? What do we do if I don't 00:30:21.190 --> 00:30:23.569 if we don't get renewed? I'm never going to be 00:30:23.569 --> 00:30:26.329 the champion. I lost the season again and we 00:30:26.329 --> 00:30:30.410 lost last year. Losers for another year. No, 00:30:30.450 --> 00:30:34.450 they did win the team stuff. That's true. That's 00:30:34.450 --> 00:30:36.650 true. But then someone calls to her and we see 00:30:36.650 --> 00:30:38.710 that both Satomi and Tsukuba throw out peace 00:30:38.710 --> 00:30:40.430 signs because they've won their they've won their 00:30:40.430 --> 00:30:43.200 tournaments as well. So who? The winners are 00:30:43.200 --> 00:30:46.920 announced! Arata wins Class A, Taichi wins Class 00:30:46.920 --> 00:30:49.099 B, Satomi wins Class C, and Tsukuba wins Class 00:30:49.099 --> 00:30:51.779 D. Turns out Mizuzawa has cleaned up, winning 00:30:51.779 --> 00:30:55.339 everything except for the Class A match. Gosh 00:30:55.339 --> 00:30:59.279 darn it, Chihaya and Nishida. You ruined it! 00:30:59.339 --> 00:31:01.660 Chihaya's like, ah shit, we could have won everything 00:31:01.660 --> 00:31:05.980 if I didn't blow it. They all get ready to leave, 00:31:06.059 --> 00:31:08.400 but before leaving, the Fujisaki coach offers 00:31:08.400 --> 00:31:11.240 to email Chihaya the Class A match recording. 00:31:11.579 --> 00:31:13.859 She wonders if anybody else notices that the 00:31:13.859 --> 00:31:15.019 only two people at the tournament that didn't 00:31:15.019 --> 00:31:17.579 lose a single match were Arata and Taichi, which 00:31:17.579 --> 00:31:22.119 I guess is true. Yeah. Oh, I really like whatever 00:31:22.119 --> 00:31:24.779 her name is. We got to remember it. But I love 00:31:24.779 --> 00:31:29.380 that she's like a substitute mentor to Chihaya 00:31:29.380 --> 00:31:31.359 now. Yeah. Unfortunately, this means we're going 00:31:31.359 --> 00:31:33.720 to have to deal with boob guy more than the rest 00:31:33.720 --> 00:31:37.519 of the Fujisaki team that I do not like. that's 00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:39.380 true that's true they can get out as long as 00:31:39.380 --> 00:31:44.000 he doesn't hang around like freaking um uh pseudo 00:31:44.000 --> 00:31:47.880 yeah god they can form like the terrible boy 00:31:47.880 --> 00:31:52.339 club uh let's see it truly is astounding how 00:31:52.339 --> 00:31:55.019 many of them there are in this stove for women 00:31:55.019 --> 00:31:58.619 oh yeah anyway we cut to the hospital where a 00:31:58.619 --> 00:32:00.319 doctor tells chiaya that they didn't find anything 00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:02.200 wrong with her finger she'll have to visit a 00:32:02.200 --> 00:32:04.819 bigger hospital we got to a bigger hospital where 00:32:04.819 --> 00:32:07.359 they tell her that she needs an mri She gets 00:32:07.359 --> 00:32:11.839 an MRI and it turns out she has enderone metosis. 00:32:12.019 --> 00:32:15.160 And she tells the CARTA team about this and it 00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:16.980 turns out that it's a rare disease where some 00:32:16.980 --> 00:32:20.140 bones get softer over time or something. But 00:32:20.140 --> 00:32:22.500 it's only like the middle joint in her finger 00:32:22.500 --> 00:32:25.440 bone that has it. But she's going to need an 00:32:25.440 --> 00:32:27.839 operation. And she's like, I'm going to be admitted 00:32:27.839 --> 00:32:29.839 to the hospital and have to undergo anesthesia 00:32:29.839 --> 00:32:31.880 and stuff. It's scary, but it's the only way 00:32:31.880 --> 00:32:33.940 that she'll be able to play CARTA better. A lot 00:32:33.940 --> 00:32:36.559 more intense than your little finger. Thing, 00:32:36.700 --> 00:32:40.440 huh? I didn't need anesthesia. Yeah, they just 00:32:40.440 --> 00:32:43.680 numbed my finger. I got finger surgery to the 00:32:43.680 --> 00:32:46.279 audience where they like removed a thing from. 00:32:46.279 --> 00:32:49.500 Yeah, we talked about it. Not that everyone ever 00:32:49.500 --> 00:32:51.839 listened to all of our episodes, but yeah, they 00:32:51.839 --> 00:32:54.740 didn't replace my bone or whatever. I didn't 00:32:54.740 --> 00:32:56.740 need to drink the like the bone strengthening 00:32:56.740 --> 00:32:59.849 juice. Like put it in like a sheet or something 00:32:59.849 --> 00:33:01.930 Anyway, she gets dropped off at the hospital 00:33:01.930 --> 00:33:04.529 and left with her sister's laptop to watch the 00:33:04.529 --> 00:33:08.269 class a final match on repeat Which she does 00:33:08.269 --> 00:33:13.789 freaking sweet? Yeah, you win supported Tai Chi 00:33:13.789 --> 00:33:16.849 so you could win but you also get to watch and 00:33:16.849 --> 00:33:21.789 not disrupt the entire match with your swinging 00:33:22.619 --> 00:33:24.119 Just swinging the whole time. The nurse keeps 00:33:24.119 --> 00:33:26.359 feeling like you need to stop swinging your hand. 00:33:26.480 --> 00:33:29.059 You're getting surgery on it. Elsewhere, at Arata's 00:33:29.059 --> 00:33:31.960 bookstore job, he sees Chitose, Chihaya's sister, 00:33:32.059 --> 00:33:33.839 on a swimsuit magazine and is like, huh, that's 00:33:33.839 --> 00:33:37.339 weird. I knew her. Then he gets a call from Chihaya. 00:33:37.579 --> 00:33:39.980 She hesitates to tell him why she called, though. 00:33:40.180 --> 00:33:42.240 At a flower shop, the rest of the Karuta team 00:33:42.240 --> 00:33:44.759 argues over which flowers to get Chihaya. Taichi 00:33:44.759 --> 00:33:47.160 is being pensive the whole time, thinking that 00:33:47.160 --> 00:33:49.940 Chihaya might be feeling down about getting finger 00:33:49.940 --> 00:33:53.039 surgery. She's not, though, and she asks Arata 00:33:53.039 --> 00:33:55.759 how to get better at Carta. That's all she can 00:33:55.759 --> 00:33:58.319 think about, she tells him. He tells her that 00:33:58.319 --> 00:34:02.019 he always thinks back to his room after any game 00:34:02.019 --> 00:34:04.579 he plays. He always thinks about the one time 00:34:04.579 --> 00:34:07.420 he played her as kids. Well, he's saying when 00:34:07.420 --> 00:34:10.739 he plays, he imagines that he's playing in that 00:34:10.739 --> 00:34:13.460 room, like the most favorite place he's ever 00:34:13.460 --> 00:34:18.239 played hard, which is so sweet. I was like, oh. 00:34:18.250 --> 00:34:23.010 Yeah, bam huge colors big moment show Joe ass 00:34:23.010 --> 00:34:26.889 effect down He's been thinking about her the 00:34:26.889 --> 00:34:38.849 whole time every time he plays Carter That's 00:34:38.849 --> 00:34:44.550 all it takes for him to put in so much He's in 00:34:44.550 --> 00:34:48.789 this moment. I knew he was toast I know The thought 00:34:48.789 --> 00:34:50.989 of her makes him strong. It's just like makes 00:34:50.989 --> 00:34:54.130 him strong. Huge moment of being like there's 00:34:54.130 --> 00:34:55.989 like all these effects happening. It like looks 00:34:55.989 --> 00:34:58.070 great. And it's like, oh my God, Arata thinks 00:34:58.070 --> 00:35:02.750 about me all the time. And guess who turns the 00:35:02.750 --> 00:35:06.409 corner as this happens? It's the Carta team. 00:35:06.610 --> 00:35:09.349 That's right, Tai Chi just in time to see Chihaya 00:35:09.349 --> 00:35:12.590 glowing on the phone. Chihaya thinks to herself 00:35:12.590 --> 00:35:14.530 that she doesn't understand these feelings that 00:35:14.530 --> 00:35:17.230 she's having. What could they be? Sarah, look 00:35:17.230 --> 00:35:20.670 at this feeling's me. Do you mean she doesn't 00:35:20.670 --> 00:35:23.050 know she's freaking sad? But for the rest of 00:35:23.050 --> 00:35:24.869 her life, she'll always love Carter. And then 00:35:24.869 --> 00:35:32.389 she adds that she'll always love Arana. Do we 00:35:32.389 --> 00:35:35.590 think this? OK, but like, does she recognize 00:35:35.590 --> 00:35:38.230 that the romantic way or just that she loves 00:35:38.230 --> 00:35:40.920 him is like. I can't do this again. I can't, 00:35:41.000 --> 00:35:43.119 I can't be doing this again. I can't do it. After 00:35:43.119 --> 00:35:47.619 Kiwi's it okay. I can't do this. She says love. 00:35:47.840 --> 00:35:50.639 Okay. I don't remember what literal word she 00:35:50.639 --> 00:35:53.079 says, but it was translated as love. So God, 00:35:53.219 --> 00:35:55.599 it could be not. It could not be that. Am I going 00:35:55.599 --> 00:36:00.119 to be like in pain in season three? Well, I don't 00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:03.719 recall being super sad. Well, it definitely didn't 00:36:03.719 --> 00:36:07.079 feel like the conclusion. So it never, I don't 00:36:07.079 --> 00:36:10.170 think it was the fight. finish the show, but 00:36:10.170 --> 00:36:13.769 I don't think it's romantically satisfying if 00:36:13.769 --> 00:36:17.489 I vaguely remember correctly. Anyway, the operation 00:36:17.489 --> 00:36:20.150 was a success was a success, but she can't practice 00:36:20.150 --> 00:36:22.730 her swings until it's fully healed. Her sister 00:36:22.730 --> 00:36:25.050 and mother visit her and her sister is very dismissive, 00:36:25.130 --> 00:36:26.769 but gets her like this really big daddy bear 00:36:26.769 --> 00:36:30.030 plush. So there's that. That's that's fun. That's 00:36:30.030 --> 00:36:32.210 really nice. That's cute. I thought that was 00:36:32.210 --> 00:36:35.820 very sweet. Uh, Chihay has to write down 20 poems 00:36:35.820 --> 00:36:38.119 for her homework. She thinks about how Kana told 00:36:38.119 --> 00:36:40.420 her to read a bunch of poetry before being able 00:36:40.420 --> 00:36:42.079 to write her own, but she's like, I'm not doing 00:36:42.079 --> 00:36:44.719 that. Uh, she only got through five poems before 00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:46.400 she had to get the surgery, so she's running 00:36:46.400 --> 00:36:48.519 out of steam. She thinks about Carta, and then 00:36:48.519 --> 00:36:51.059 about Arata. He always thinks about playing her 00:36:51.059 --> 00:36:53.400 in his room, huh? I guess my whole life has been 00:36:53.400 --> 00:36:55.719 about Carta too, in a way. Always wanting to 00:36:55.719 --> 00:36:57.800 get better, just so I can receive a little bit 00:36:57.800 --> 00:37:00.320 of passion. Kana and Taichi come and visit Chihaya 00:37:00.320 --> 00:37:03.139 in street clothes, and Taichi is wearing a cross 00:37:03.139 --> 00:37:05.260 necklace, and I'm like, what's going on, my boy? 00:37:05.460 --> 00:37:11.159 Have we heard of a band named Creed? Is he Christian? 00:37:11.260 --> 00:37:13.619 What is this? I don't know. It's just I feel 00:37:13.619 --> 00:37:17.280 like it's part of like gothic accessories. Not 00:37:17.280 --> 00:37:20.480 that Taichi's a god, but I don't know. He's listening 00:37:20.480 --> 00:37:23.179 to Creed. We got another Creed listener on the 00:37:23.179 --> 00:37:28.409 team. I know him and... Oh, God. They do have 00:37:28.409 --> 00:37:33.610 some similarities. Those suffering through dense 00:37:33.610 --> 00:37:36.530 girlies. But I'm not certain that Tai Chi is 00:37:36.530 --> 00:37:39.090 going to overcome it. Oh, no, Tai Chi is going 00:37:39.090 --> 00:37:43.070 on the creative cruise. For sure. By himself. 00:37:44.590 --> 00:37:46.710 They meet up with Chihaya and read some of her 00:37:46.710 --> 00:37:48.630 poems. One of them is just straight up a story 00:37:48.630 --> 00:37:51.250 about her hanging out with Shinobu. Like, not 00:37:51.250 --> 00:37:55.340 even a poem. Okay. But the next - But then Kana 00:37:55.340 --> 00:37:57.559 reads a much better poem about Karda, and then 00:37:57.559 --> 00:38:00.079 she reads another one about longing, and she's 00:38:00.079 --> 00:38:03.239 like, oh, no. Because she's put it together. 00:38:03.239 --> 00:38:06.679 They're exciting. Kana and Taichi walk home. 00:38:06.940 --> 00:38:08.900 Taichi's like, well, she seemed to be recovering 00:38:08.900 --> 00:38:11.780 okay. Seems like things are gonna go back to 00:38:11.780 --> 00:38:13.820 normal, huh? But then Kana stops and just starts 00:38:13.820 --> 00:38:16.079 smacking him on the shoulder. She's like, you 00:38:16.079 --> 00:38:18.380 gotta try harder, man. And he's like, what? And 00:38:18.380 --> 00:38:20.460 she tells him that she should have gone to see 00:38:20.460 --> 00:38:22.670 her alone. You shouldn't have brought me along. 00:38:23.190 --> 00:38:24.989 Chihaya isn't going to be clueless forever. And 00:38:24.989 --> 00:38:27.329 Taichi tells her that he already knows this. 00:38:27.590 --> 00:38:32.989 Then do something or give up. Probably give up. 00:38:33.010 --> 00:38:35.269 Give up. Honestly. You need to give up, man. 00:38:36.510 --> 00:38:40.510 So cute that Hana's like rooting for him. I know. 00:38:43.010 --> 00:38:45.730 Somebody in your corner. It certainly isn't Chihaya. 00:38:46.090 --> 00:38:50.010 Yeah. At the hospital, Chihaya watches the video 00:38:50.010 --> 00:38:53.590 of Arata on repeat. This is voting very poorly 00:38:53.590 --> 00:38:57.909 for Taichi. Elsewhere, the Fujisaki boob guy 00:38:57.909 --> 00:38:59.989 hits on his teacher and she shoots him down. 00:39:00.489 --> 00:39:02.590 Then she gets a call from Chihaya thanking her 00:39:02.590 --> 00:39:04.969 for the video. She asks her what she thought 00:39:04.969 --> 00:39:07.309 of the match and she tells Chihaya that Arata 00:39:07.309 --> 00:39:09.650 is just a pretty solid player all around. Nothing 00:39:09.650 --> 00:39:11.369 too crazy going on there. And then she goes into 00:39:11.369 --> 00:39:14.010 a long description of how Shinobu plays. Then 00:39:14.010 --> 00:39:16.400 she... Yeah, I don't know. It's like... The one 00:39:16.400 --> 00:39:18.000 who actually knows what they're talking about 00:39:18.000 --> 00:39:21.199 advising. Yeah, finally. Finally somebody who 00:39:21.199 --> 00:39:25.619 knows what's up. Then she invites the Mizuzawa 00:39:25.619 --> 00:39:28.579 team to do a summer training camp with them and 00:39:28.579 --> 00:39:30.500 she is like, oh yeah, hell yeah, we'll do that 00:39:30.500 --> 00:39:32.510 for sure. We cut to Taichi and Chihaya going 00:39:32.510 --> 00:39:34.050 to the summer camp. The rest of the team couldn't 00:39:34.050 --> 00:39:35.829 make it because their society had summer camp 00:39:35.829 --> 00:39:38.150 the same day. And also, Kana is making sure that 00:39:38.150 --> 00:39:40.750 Taichi can go with Chihaya alone. Look at her, 00:39:41.210 --> 00:39:44.070 best swing woman ever. She's very cool. We learned 00:39:44.070 --> 00:39:46.050 that Chihaya should be resting her finger, but 00:39:46.050 --> 00:39:48.349 is still going to this camp anyway. She's like, 00:39:48.349 --> 00:39:50.989 I can't stay away from Karda for long because 00:39:50.989 --> 00:39:53.570 Karda makes me think about things. I wonder what 00:39:53.570 --> 00:39:56.309 I have this longing in me. What could it be? 00:39:56.530 --> 00:39:59.030 They arrive as we cut to a credits montage of 00:39:59.030 --> 00:40:01.480 scenes from this season. And then we get a post 00:40:01.480 --> 00:40:04.519 -credit scene. I did not watch past the credits, 00:40:04.539 --> 00:40:06.480 so I'm glad you pointed this out. We get a post 00:40:06.480 --> 00:40:08.380 -credit scene where Arata informs his, like, 00:40:08.440 --> 00:40:10.579 bookstore owner guy that he's moving to Tokyo, 00:40:10.599 --> 00:40:13.380 and the guy's like, no, my best guy! And then 00:40:13.380 --> 00:40:16.679 we cut to black. It's pretty good. Was he a good 00:40:16.679 --> 00:40:20.380 worker? I guess. I guess he's hard -working. 00:40:20.380 --> 00:40:22.519 Dude, he's just a chill Kai who Loki doesn't 00:40:22.519 --> 00:40:25.000 give a fuck. Yeah. That's his whole deal. Well, 00:40:25.159 --> 00:40:29.079 he's had a lot of change from season one. Yeah. 00:40:30.820 --> 00:40:34.420 Okay. That's the meme. That's the whole meme. 00:40:34.739 --> 00:40:39.699 Okay. Thank you. Anyway. We did it. We made it 00:40:39.699 --> 00:40:43.000 to the end. We did it. It truly was. Just that 00:40:43.000 --> 00:40:46.719 tournament. The whole season. Yeah, that's pretty 00:40:46.719 --> 00:40:52.400 wild. It's pretty wild. Well, I can predict that 00:40:52.400 --> 00:40:56.940 the next season will be about... Oh, God. It's 00:40:56.940 --> 00:41:00.480 probably going to be the qualifiers for a master 00:41:00.480 --> 00:41:05.480 and queen. I'm guessing. Yeah. It's got to be 00:41:05.480 --> 00:41:07.820 right. Something like that. OK, we've got our 00:41:07.820 --> 00:41:10.059 spreadsheet pulled out with our previous. Yeah, 00:41:10.059 --> 00:41:12.480 we got to move kind of fast. Sorry, guys. I have 00:41:12.480 --> 00:41:15.860 people coming over soon. So that's right. We 00:41:15.860 --> 00:41:17.539 got like 30 minutes. So we can take our time. 00:41:17.639 --> 00:41:18.699 We don't have to. We don't have to rush. I can 00:41:18.699 --> 00:41:20.239 also make them wait like they're not that important 00:41:20.239 --> 00:41:23.909 to me. No. No, this is my bad. We were supposed 00:41:23.909 --> 00:41:27.889 to record last night, but Sarah is occasionally, 00:41:27.889 --> 00:41:32.489 selectively, narcoleptic and just sleeps too 00:41:32.489 --> 00:41:34.289 much. That's okay. Did you have any other big 00:41:34.289 --> 00:41:37.389 closing thoughts about season two? I'm happy 00:41:37.389 --> 00:41:40.110 Tai Chi won. I love that he is kind of supporting 00:41:40.110 --> 00:41:44.690 him. Arada is going to be more of the show. Freaking 00:41:44.690 --> 00:41:48.670 Nishida has plummeted and rank amongst behind 00:41:48.670 --> 00:41:51.809 the characters. Yeah, what the heck, man? I don't 00:41:51.809 --> 00:41:54.369 know what to do with him this season. He's still 00:41:54.369 --> 00:41:57.050 better than Tsukuba, so. Tsukuba is freaking 00:41:57.050 --> 00:41:59.869 putting the work, man. He's class B now. No, 00:41:59.869 --> 00:42:02.329 he's class C now. No, he was class C before. 00:42:02.349 --> 00:42:04.730 They were both class C. Because he was in the 00:42:04.730 --> 00:42:09.690 class C. Oh, right, right, right. OK. Well, right. 00:42:09.929 --> 00:42:12.429 Then he'll be in matches more, I guess. I guess 00:42:12.429 --> 00:42:14.909 he did have the best matches this this season 00:42:14.909 --> 00:42:19.289 again. Well, I have someone in every ranks. I 00:42:19.289 --> 00:42:22.130 know Tia. Chi -hai is going to be like, now we 00:42:22.130 --> 00:42:26.309 super gonna win every division. Yeah, I wish 00:42:26.309 --> 00:42:28.369 there were more. So Sumire is going to get a 00:42:28.369 --> 00:42:30.610 lot of pressure. Sumire, there needs to be more 00:42:30.610 --> 00:42:35.130 Sumire. Yes. Biggest takeaway. Yeah, she's really 00:42:35.130 --> 00:42:39.349 good. I wish I understood. I wish they had more 00:42:39.349 --> 00:42:41.590 to play with in terms of how people play, because 00:42:41.590 --> 00:42:44.750 like having Arata also just go quicker on the 00:42:44.750 --> 00:42:46.630 syllable. That's just what everybody does. That's 00:42:46.630 --> 00:42:49.889 just how you win this game, I guess. Yes. Yeah. 00:42:50.139 --> 00:42:52.539 but how's how's tai chi gonna do that he can't 00:42:52.539 --> 00:42:55.679 do that i don't like this training camp gonna 00:42:55.679 --> 00:42:58.980 be wild i need next season you know what i need 00:42:58.980 --> 00:43:01.579 to happen next season i think i think i need 00:43:01.579 --> 00:43:06.099 tai chi to beat errata and become the master 00:43:06.099 --> 00:43:08.800 and then Arata gets with Chi -Hai. There's no 00:43:08.800 --> 00:43:12.300 way. Okay, that's... No, I think Tai Chi rather 00:43:12.300 --> 00:43:14.920 the other way. I mean, I think he'd rather the 00:43:14.920 --> 00:43:16.940 other way, but the way things are trending, there 00:43:16.940 --> 00:43:19.440 really doesn't make any sense as to why that 00:43:19.440 --> 00:43:22.019 would happen. Yeah, I don't know. He used to 00:43:22.019 --> 00:43:24.719 listen to Creed on screen. I hope we get to see... 00:43:24.719 --> 00:43:32.739 Oh my... What? Okay. Moving on. We can talk more 00:43:32.739 --> 00:43:34.960 at the certain points as we go through these 00:43:34.960 --> 00:43:38.260 rankings. OK. OK, our first ranking. I don't 00:43:38.260 --> 00:43:39.940 think much has changed for me, honestly. The 00:43:39.940 --> 00:43:41.840 only thing that probably changed is like the 00:43:41.840 --> 00:43:44.579 side characters. I guess we can consider some 00:43:44.579 --> 00:43:47.519 couples, but in that gag episode, they confirm 00:43:47.519 --> 00:43:49.260 that there were no couples in the show except 00:43:49.260 --> 00:43:52.860 for Retro and Nishida's sister. Yeah, I guess 00:43:52.860 --> 00:43:55.840 I agree. Well, let's go over them. We can still 00:43:55.840 --> 00:43:57.760 go over them. Yeah. All right. So overall show. 00:43:58.539 --> 00:44:03.639 Do you have any updates? Your ranking, Joe? I 00:44:03.639 --> 00:44:06.380 don't think so. OK, so I'm going to read mine 00:44:06.380 --> 00:44:09.119 from the bottom. I think mine's the same. Overall 00:44:09.119 --> 00:44:11.619 show number five, Chihayafuru, both seasons one 00:44:11.619 --> 00:44:13.619 and two at this point. Season two was not enough 00:44:13.619 --> 00:44:16.820 to bump it up. I'm sorry. The tournament, as 00:44:16.820 --> 00:44:20.280 good as as much as I love Satomu, half of the 00:44:20.280 --> 00:44:22.880 season was over the course of two days. Number 00:44:22.880 --> 00:44:24.639 four is Kimi Niitadoke, number three is Skip 00:44:24.639 --> 00:44:26.360 Beat, number two is Angelic Layer, and number 00:44:26.360 --> 00:44:29.139 one is the Rose of Versailles. And mine, from 00:44:29.139 --> 00:44:35.239 bottom to top, is Angelic Lair, Get Beat, Yayafuru, 00:44:35.480 --> 00:44:38.239 Middle of the Pack, Himi Nitsudoke, and then 00:44:38.239 --> 00:44:39.500 Rose of Versailles. OK, so it didn't improve 00:44:39.500 --> 00:44:42.780 for you either. But if we include the movie, 00:44:43.059 --> 00:44:43.840 does that deduct points from Rose of Versailles? 00:44:43.860 --> 00:44:47.559 No, I don't think we can compare a movie to a 00:44:47.559 --> 00:44:49.579 TV show. It just feels like not a thing you can 00:44:49.579 --> 00:44:52.460 really do. No, all right. I guess we could we 00:44:52.460 --> 00:44:54.780 just put it at the bottom, right? Nah, it's fine. 00:44:55.559 --> 00:44:57.639 Protagonist, has Chihaya ever covered for you 00:44:57.639 --> 00:45:00.920 a little bit? Well, if I was thinking movie Oscar, 00:45:01.159 --> 00:45:02.880 then yes. Oh my god, okay. We're not thinking 00:45:02.880 --> 00:45:06.739 about movie Oscar. No, I'm gonna keep it. I'm 00:45:06.739 --> 00:45:08.400 gonna, yeah, I'm gonna keep it. I think I'm also 00:45:08.400 --> 00:45:09.940 gonna keep it, but I'm sorry, Chihaya, you're 00:45:09.940 --> 00:45:12.900 still ranked last for me. Damn, I forgot Chihaya 00:45:12.900 --> 00:45:16.019 last for you. So it's, it's. Worse than Misaki 00:45:16.019 --> 00:45:20.690 is crazy. Listen. You're worse than nothing, 00:45:21.070 --> 00:45:22.570 Chihaya. Next season, she's going to actually 00:45:22.570 --> 00:45:24.710 have some, like, real character stuff going on, 00:45:24.829 --> 00:45:26.969 I feel like. This season, it's like, oh, she 00:45:26.969 --> 00:45:30.710 decided to watch Tai Chi and Satomi play instead 00:45:30.710 --> 00:45:33.789 of Arata. But I don't. That's not. Yeah, I guess 00:45:33.789 --> 00:45:35.670 that was a step up. That's a step up, but it's 00:45:35.670 --> 00:45:37.590 not it's not enough of a step up. I'm sorry. 00:45:37.869 --> 00:45:40.409 So mine's still Chihaya, then Misaki, then Marie 00:45:40.409 --> 00:45:43.090 Antoinette, then Sawako, then Oscar, then Kyoko. 00:45:43.929 --> 00:45:47.030 Yep. Uh, as you all know, I absolutely hate Marie 00:45:47.030 --> 00:45:49.389 Antoinette, so she's at the bottom of my list. 00:45:49.849 --> 00:45:52.289 And then Misaki, so she's worse than nothing 00:45:52.289 --> 00:45:56.969 for me. And then Chihaya. And then Oscar, Sawako, 00:45:57.369 --> 00:46:01.329 and Kyoko. Kyoko, the best protagonist ever. 00:46:02.250 --> 00:46:05.530 Probably will not be overthrown. Honestly, she's 00:46:05.530 --> 00:46:10.449 just so great. We love a revenge girly. Revengeful 00:46:10.449 --> 00:46:12.489 spirit girl. What should we do about the couples 00:46:12.489 --> 00:46:18.650 here? Should we add Chi Hai and Tai Chi? And 00:46:18.650 --> 00:46:20.929 Chi Hai and Tai Chi, and then we see which ones 00:46:20.929 --> 00:46:24.610 we rank as in, like, which one we're rooting 00:46:24.610 --> 00:46:26.150 for more. Yeah, yeah, we should we should rank 00:46:26.150 --> 00:46:30.130 those two. I mean, man. Or Tai Chi. Tai Chi just 00:46:30.130 --> 00:46:32.809 needs to give up. Tai Chi needs to give up. I'm 00:46:32.809 --> 00:46:35.250 saying that it should just be Arata and Shihaya. 00:46:35.489 --> 00:46:37.030 They like, he thinks about, we got the reveal 00:46:37.030 --> 00:46:38.989 that he thinks about her every time. Tai Chi 00:46:38.989 --> 00:46:41.949 and Shadow. Every time they play, he plays Karda, 00:46:42.110 --> 00:46:44.010 which is the only thing he enjoys doing. He's 00:46:44.010 --> 00:46:46.510 thinking about her. It's over at that point. 00:46:46.949 --> 00:46:48.829 Like, Tai Chi can't win because he has a life 00:46:48.829 --> 00:46:51.510 outside of this, kind of. So I think Tai Chi 00:46:51.510 --> 00:46:53.829 just gonna have to take this L, man. OK, so then 00:46:53.829 --> 00:46:58.340 we're adding. OK, so we're adding. Chihaya and 00:46:58.340 --> 00:47:01.000 Arada as our contender amongst their overalls. 00:47:01.000 --> 00:47:03.639 I'm just ranking all of those two. Which one's 00:47:03.639 --> 00:47:05.380 higher? It's hard for me to gauge because like 00:47:05.380 --> 00:47:08.099 they didn't do anything, right? Like I want the 00:47:08.099 --> 00:47:10.699 best for Taichi and Chihaya is not the best for 00:47:10.699 --> 00:47:14.619 him. Yeah, that's bad. I don't want him to be 00:47:14.619 --> 00:47:16.679 with her either. So I guess, yeah, we'll just 00:47:16.679 --> 00:47:20.260 we'll throw. We'll ignore couples. Chihaya. Oh, 00:47:20.260 --> 00:47:22.599 do you want to add in Arada? I could just add 00:47:22.599 --> 00:47:25.320 them and then at least right now how they are. 00:47:25.340 --> 00:47:31.119 OK, yeah. All right. Well, not very high on mine. 00:47:31.659 --> 00:47:37.920 Person and Marie. I put mine above Kent. OK. 00:47:38.199 --> 00:47:41.820 All right. So I put mine above Bernard and Rosie. 00:47:41.860 --> 00:47:44.199 Damn. We barely see them together. They're like 00:47:44.199 --> 00:47:47.380 the they're like the neutral value. Yeah. I like. 00:47:47.880 --> 00:47:50.139 Yeah. Cool. All right. So I have at the bottom, 00:47:50.340 --> 00:47:52.860 person and Marie, of course. Second from the 00:47:52.860 --> 00:47:55.949 bottom is Gia and Arata. Listen. You guys got 00:47:55.949 --> 00:47:58.369 to do things together. You can't just think about 00:47:58.369 --> 00:48:01.369 each other. We've also see the conclusion of 00:48:01.369 --> 00:48:04.070 everyone else's except there. So, understandable. 00:48:04.190 --> 00:48:07.110 I'm sure this will go up. And then we have Ayane 00:48:07.110 --> 00:48:08.929 and Kent. And then we have Bernard and Rosalie, 00:48:09.170 --> 00:48:12.030 which is the break even one. And then we have 00:48:12.030 --> 00:48:15.110 Kazehaya and Sawako, Oscar and Andre and Shizu 00:48:15.110 --> 00:48:17.650 and Ryu at the top. OK, I'm going to change mine 00:48:17.650 --> 00:48:19.550 some more too. You don't have to use this list, 00:48:19.590 --> 00:48:22.510 do whatever you want. Yeah, switch Oscar and 00:48:22.510 --> 00:48:25.849 Kazehaya. OK. I've softened. That's our season 00:48:25.849 --> 00:48:29.349 three coverage, I guess, of Kimi Nishidoki. Yeah. 00:48:29.510 --> 00:48:32.610 Okay. My worst one first in Rui. Of course. And 00:48:32.610 --> 00:48:37.409 then Ayane and Ken. Oh, sorry. What? Yeah, Bados. 00:48:39.130 --> 00:48:42.349 Freaking Bernard and Rosalie, because we barely 00:48:42.349 --> 00:48:45.849 get to see them as a couple. Hi, Gerada, just 00:48:45.849 --> 00:48:48.769 because they have such an impact on each other's 00:48:48.769 --> 00:48:51.849 lives. And that was very sweet, what he said. 00:48:52.799 --> 00:48:57.460 Um, and then Oscar and Andre, they're good. Um, 00:48:58.119 --> 00:49:01.719 and then Kazahai and Sawako, just because out 00:49:01.719 --> 00:49:03.860 of any couple that we've ever... Oh, we don't 00:49:03.860 --> 00:49:06.280 even have Kyoko and Ren. I guess we didn't include 00:49:06.280 --> 00:49:08.840 them. Why? Because she's a minor? It's not like 00:49:08.840 --> 00:49:10.159 we didn't include them as a couple. They didn't 00:49:10.159 --> 00:49:12.800 do anything. It's hard because they didn't become 00:49:12.800 --> 00:49:18.260 a couple in the show. Yeah. Okay. Uh, we should 00:49:18.260 --> 00:49:20.820 probably put them on there then if we're putting... 00:49:20.440 --> 00:49:22.900 If we're putting Chi Hai and Arata though. Yeah. 00:49:23.380 --> 00:49:26.840 OK, well, we work this for next show. OK, OK. 00:49:27.219 --> 00:49:30.980 And then Chizu and Ryu at my top as well. Cool. 00:49:31.659 --> 00:49:34.179 So, yeah. All right. For the real one. This is 00:49:34.179 --> 00:49:35.880 the real one. We didn't even do it last time. 00:49:36.039 --> 00:49:39.260 We like I tried to listen to our ending of. And 00:49:39.260 --> 00:49:40.800 we just didn't we just straight up didn't do 00:49:40.800 --> 00:49:43.440 it. So we get to have a brand new fresh off the 00:49:43.440 --> 00:49:45.820 dome. Don't even think about it. Side characters. 00:49:46.059 --> 00:49:48.110 Oh, God. I think we should do I think. Well, 00:49:48.210 --> 00:49:50.949 then I'm going to go in order. I have to go from 00:49:50.949 --> 00:49:55.070 top to bottom. What you got? OK, best side character 00:49:55.070 --> 00:49:57.510 is. I think you got to pick one from each show. 00:49:57.769 --> 00:50:00.690 Tai Chi. I pick Tai Chi as my top. You should 00:50:00.690 --> 00:50:03.510 pick one from each show. Number two is going 00:50:03.510 --> 00:50:11.530 to be Ayane. Mm hmm. And then let's do Dear Lord. 00:50:12.449 --> 00:50:18.349 Oh, Christ. Freaking Psy from Angelic Lair. Oh 00:50:18.349 --> 00:50:21.710 my god. Let's go. Love Psy. She's so freaking 00:50:21.710 --> 00:50:27.050 cool. She is cool. Let's see. Oh god. I'll do 00:50:27.050 --> 00:50:31.150 Moko from Skip Beat and then from Rosa Versa... 00:50:31.150 --> 00:50:34.909 No, JK. Rosalie from Rosa Versailles and then 00:50:34.909 --> 00:50:37.699 Moko. Okay. Yep. That's it. Is that all this? 00:50:37.840 --> 00:50:40.119 Yeah, that's all this. Yep. Yep. Yep. OK, I got 00:50:40.119 --> 00:50:44.179 to do mine. Hmm. Oh, wait. Oh, OK. You have to 00:50:44.179 --> 00:50:46.039 you have to put I was going to say, I guess you 00:50:46.039 --> 00:50:50.780 had to put Kroomy and then you must put Jen Joan, 00:50:51.079 --> 00:50:52.340 whatever. Oh, yeah. I'm thinking my bad. I'm 00:50:52.340 --> 00:50:54.360 thinking the best sidekick yours for you. Yeah, 00:50:54.619 --> 00:50:58.360 let's go. Who's who's number one? Mm hmm. I think 00:50:58.360 --> 00:51:01.059 John might be another one. Oh, dang. Our villain 00:51:01.059 --> 00:51:04.559 girl. Uh, real good. I just, I just always think 00:51:04.559 --> 00:51:06.480 about her. We're in that black dress on the beach, 00:51:06.679 --> 00:51:09.239 trying to bribe Oscar and just being incredible. 00:51:09.800 --> 00:51:14.280 So good. Um, then we got Hitoko from Angelic 00:51:14.280 --> 00:51:18.079 Lair. Oh, that's right. Yep. Then, then I think, 00:51:18.440 --> 00:51:20.800 then I think we got Taichi, you know, as much 00:51:20.800 --> 00:51:23.619 as I love Satomu, Taichi just is like, Satomu 00:51:23.619 --> 00:51:26.260 was like great to watch, like a, like a fun POV 00:51:26.260 --> 00:51:28.900 character. Uh, but Taichi is what the show is 00:51:28.900 --> 00:51:30.840 about. to me. He's not even a side character. 00:51:30.960 --> 00:51:32.800 I don't even actually include him in this category. 00:51:33.340 --> 00:51:38.039 He just is the show to me. Sumire, also a pretty 00:51:38.039 --> 00:51:41.420 top contender, but doesn't make the cut, unfortunately, 00:51:41.559 --> 00:51:43.480 to Taichi. And she agrees. She would agree that 00:51:43.480 --> 00:51:45.000 she doesn't she doesn't compete with Taichi. 00:51:45.260 --> 00:51:46.760 And then I got to pick. Well, that's because 00:51:46.760 --> 00:51:49.960 she has deemed herself main character and this 00:51:49.960 --> 00:51:52.400 is side characters. Yeah. And then I'm picking 00:51:52.400 --> 00:51:56.920 Karumi and then I'm picking Moko. Dang. Karroumi, 00:51:57.059 --> 00:52:00.400 look how low you are. But she's like Karroumi 00:52:00.400 --> 00:52:02.900 is great. But compared to Jean, it's like they 00:52:02.900 --> 00:52:04.840 both do the same thing, but one of them is way 00:52:04.840 --> 00:52:08.699 better at it. OK, that's yeah. So that's true. 00:52:09.079 --> 00:52:11.280 OK, well, that's good. Good rankings there. I 00:52:11.280 --> 00:52:13.500 like opening songs. I don't even remember the 00:52:13.500 --> 00:52:16.099 I like season two GI if we were opening more 00:52:16.099 --> 00:52:20.199 than one. Right. Maybe. Yes, you did. That doesn't 00:52:20.199 --> 00:52:22.019 change my ranking, though. My ranking is no, 00:52:22.099 --> 00:52:24.420 I don't think that's true. I think you like the 00:52:24.420 --> 00:52:26.199 first one. Oh, maybe I did. I didn't like the 00:52:26.199 --> 00:52:28.880 visuals of season two. Yeah. Doesn't change my 00:52:28.880 --> 00:52:31.000 ranking. Yeah. Which is still my ranking is at 00:52:31.000 --> 00:52:33.480 the bottom, Skip Beat, then Kimi Ni Tadoke, then 00:52:33.480 --> 00:52:37.340 Angelic Layer, then Shihei Furu, then Rosa Versailles. 00:52:37.440 --> 00:52:39.760 And mine, I've got Angelic Layer at the bottom 00:52:39.760 --> 00:52:43.760 and then Skip Beat, then Shihei Furu, Kimi Ni 00:52:43.760 --> 00:52:46.380 Tadoke, and Rosa Versailles at the top. Yeah. 00:52:46.659 --> 00:52:49.599 Mostly mine's more based off the song itself. 00:52:49.619 --> 00:52:52.630 Yeah. That's fair. Our last category was moms. 00:52:53.010 --> 00:52:54.010 She highest mom gets a boost. I don't think we 00:52:54.010 --> 00:52:56.710 have an upset. We didn't even see him. Did we 00:52:56.710 --> 00:52:58.570 see her? Yeah, she had the whole episode where 00:52:58.570 --> 00:53:02.230 she goes and buys the Hakama with her and she's 00:53:02.230 --> 00:53:04.530 like, I'm sorry I was like ignoring you kind 00:53:04.530 --> 00:53:06.690 of. So then she recovers. I think it's enough 00:53:06.690 --> 00:53:10.469 to recover over. Oscar's mom? Why is Oscar's 00:53:10.469 --> 00:53:13.329 mom so high on your list? Because Oscar's mom 00:53:13.329 --> 00:53:16.090 is like the baseline. It's like a mom that is 00:53:16.090 --> 00:53:22.670 somewhat positive, right? I don't know. She let 00:53:22.670 --> 00:53:26.949 her daughter be turned racist. Yeah, rules. It's 00:53:26.949 --> 00:53:28.670 like the whole impetus of the entire show, and 00:53:28.670 --> 00:53:31.510 it's awesome. You should always do that. Anyway, 00:53:31.869 --> 00:53:34.690 my ranking is now at the bottom at number five. 00:53:35.679 --> 00:53:40.880 Kyoko's mom, who sucks. And then we have Misaki's 00:53:40.880 --> 00:53:43.400 mom, Shoko, who's also not good. And then we 00:53:43.400 --> 00:53:46.019 have Oscar's mom, who's like slightly positive. 00:53:46.139 --> 00:53:48.500 She's she's fun. And then we have Chihaya's mom, 00:53:48.559 --> 00:53:52.079 who made a big recovery for me this this season. 00:53:52.900 --> 00:53:54.960 What if your mom actually cared about you and 00:53:54.960 --> 00:53:57.380 the stuff you did? Yeah, she kind of sucked in 00:53:57.380 --> 00:53:59.400 the beginning of the first. That's pretty bad. 00:53:59.719 --> 00:54:01.380 And then we have Sawako's mom at the top, who's 00:54:01.380 --> 00:54:06.139 a good mom. Yeah. Shoka's at the bottom. Yeah. 00:54:06.139 --> 00:54:08.619 Similarly to Marie Antoinette. I just hated her 00:54:08.619 --> 00:54:13.860 the whole time I saw her. Kyoko's mom, because 00:54:13.860 --> 00:54:17.920 I know a bit more about her than you do. Oscar's 00:54:17.920 --> 00:54:20.780 mom, Chihaya's, and then Sawako's. Here we go. 00:54:21.710 --> 00:54:24.409 All right, that's our rankings. Next time we'll 00:54:24.409 --> 00:54:26.929 have a new show. So it'll actually change the 00:54:26.929 --> 00:54:28.590 ranking a little bit. That's right. As opposed 00:54:28.590 --> 00:54:31.489 to updating a show. A sign of affection. We'll 00:54:31.489 --> 00:54:34.710 see. I feel like we need maybe like, do we have 00:54:34.710 --> 00:54:38.210 a category for like theme or takeaway or something? 00:54:38.250 --> 00:54:39.690 Because I feel like this next one, that's going 00:54:39.690 --> 00:54:42.809 to be its biggest strength is what it's covering. 00:54:42.829 --> 00:54:44.809 Doesn't that go into show though? Like the overall 00:54:44.809 --> 00:54:48.630 show? I guess. Oh, that's true. Never mind, JK. 00:54:49.230 --> 00:54:51.590 I'm just like, I don't remember it. That's a 00:54:51.590 --> 00:54:55.050 character. Well, okay. Yeah. So A Sign of Affection 00:54:55.050 --> 00:54:58.250 is what we're covering next. So you guys will 00:54:58.250 --> 00:55:02.610 have to listen. That will be probably four episodes, 00:55:03.250 --> 00:55:06.190 four to six episodes of coverage for us, depending 00:55:06.190 --> 00:55:10.710 what pace we want to take. And if you want to 00:55:10.710 --> 00:55:14.630 suggest other shows for us to cover and, or if 00:55:14.630 --> 00:55:16.869 there's any other categories you want to hear 00:55:16.869 --> 00:55:19.530 our thoughts on from these shows, you can email 00:55:19.530 --> 00:55:22.789 us at showjoepot .com. pod at gmail .com yeah 00:55:22.789 --> 00:55:25.630 and another way you can let us know what you're 00:55:25.630 --> 00:55:29.949 thinking about the show is uh you can you can 00:55:29.949 --> 00:55:32.309 uh like no you can rate well you can like our 00:55:32.309 --> 00:55:34.789 youtube videos and stuff you can like and subscribe 00:55:34.789 --> 00:55:37.690 you can smash that subscribe button on youtube 00:55:37.849 --> 00:55:42.909 Yeah. But you can give us five stars in your 00:55:42.909 --> 00:55:45.510 podcast platform of choice. This is very helpful 00:55:45.510 --> 00:55:48.230 to us. You can also leave a comment in Apple 00:55:48.230 --> 00:55:51.090 podcast that really helps the algorithm acknowledge 00:55:51.090 --> 00:55:55.869 that we exist. That's always nice. What if we 00:55:55.869 --> 00:55:59.690 did where it's like by leaving review, you enter 00:55:59.690 --> 00:56:03.369 for a giveaway of a dojo shirt or something? 00:56:03.449 --> 00:56:05.670 We should do something like that. Maybe once 00:56:05.670 --> 00:56:08.719 we hit like a. Maybe for like our 100th episode 00:56:08.719 --> 00:56:11.440 or something. Oh, OK. But it's a real like this 00:56:11.440 --> 00:56:14.420 late 70s now. Maybe we do one every week. So 00:56:14.420 --> 00:56:17.199 we're actually like really getting up there. 00:56:17.260 --> 00:56:20.260 But also more people need to make comments. So 00:56:20.260 --> 00:56:23.800 if we want to include those. Yeah. Yep. I think 00:56:23.800 --> 00:56:26.000 about it. Only shop it some more. You know, the 00:56:26.000 --> 00:56:28.079 third piece of merch ever. That's right. That's 00:56:28.079 --> 00:56:33.920 right. Yep. Yep. All right. Yeah. Well. You know, 00:56:33.920 --> 00:56:36.400 if we were more important people, it would be 00:56:36.400 --> 00:56:39.820 like, and where can our viewers find you, Joe? 00:56:40.019 --> 00:56:42.659 That's true. Blah, blah, blah. You can't find 00:56:42.659 --> 00:56:47.340 me anywhere. Don't look for me. What else do 00:56:47.340 --> 00:56:52.380 you do? You can find me. I stream on Twitch as 00:56:52.380 --> 00:56:56.840 Sandwich Artista. And you can also watch along 00:56:56.840 --> 00:57:00.119 as I do a weekly live stream at work on the Walkabout 00:57:00.119 --> 00:57:04.980 Mini Golf Twitch channel. Uh, yeah, so plug for 00:57:04.980 --> 00:57:07.559 walk by main golf the game. I'm the community 00:57:07.559 --> 00:57:11.079 manager for Great game. That's good. We should 00:57:11.079 --> 00:57:13.760 start saying that you'll like our next DLC Joe 00:57:13.760 --> 00:57:20.159 You'll like it. I guarantee. Oh my god. Oh Yep. 00:57:20.719 --> 00:57:23.320 Well, we did it. We got another show. Well another 00:57:23.320 --> 00:57:24.880 season of a show. I guess it's not the end of 00:57:24.880 --> 00:57:29.559 the show No down. How do you feel? How you feeling 00:57:29.559 --> 00:57:31.739 about the podcast overall? How are we feeling? 00:57:32.039 --> 00:57:34.139 Are you feeling like you have a new perspective 00:57:34.139 --> 00:57:38.780 on Shoujo stuff as the resident Shoujo? Yeah, 00:57:39.059 --> 00:57:41.800 I mean, definitely. I mean, right. The Shoujo 00:57:41.800 --> 00:57:45.019 I've consumed mostly was when I was as a teenager 00:57:45.019 --> 00:57:47.760 and definitely wasn't thinking as much about 00:57:47.760 --> 00:57:53.480 what I was watching as I am now. And yeah, I 00:57:53.480 --> 00:57:55.519 don't know. I've been more active on the Shoujo 00:57:55.519 --> 00:58:00.599 subreddit and there is a lot of Shoujo that just 00:58:00.599 --> 00:58:05.179 like Never made it to anime. So maybe one day 00:58:05.179 --> 00:58:09.119 we'll when we're humongo success We'll do manga 00:58:09.119 --> 00:58:12.559 too because there's some really great ones But 00:58:12.559 --> 00:58:16.199 just didn't get the the time. Thank you. That's 00:58:16.199 --> 00:58:20.619 our episode today Before I try and end the episode 00:58:20.619 --> 00:58:22.860 did we learn anything? What did we learn from 00:58:22.860 --> 00:58:27.840 Chi Hai Fu Season 2 the whole thing? Season 2 00:58:29.820 --> 00:58:34.940 She's just not that into you. Taishi, my man. 00:58:35.739 --> 00:58:40.639 Even God can't help you with this one. Admirable 00:58:40.639 --> 00:58:44.059 to like try and pursue something that you really 00:58:44.059 --> 00:58:48.119 feel strongly about. But you must also look after 00:58:48.119 --> 00:58:51.400 your own well -being. And sometimes you just 00:58:51.400 --> 00:58:54.260 got to drop something or even just wait until 00:58:54.260 --> 00:58:57.409 she's like not a child. And a teenage body. Wait 00:58:57.409 --> 00:59:00.409 for her to grow up, baby. That's what he was 00:59:00.409 --> 00:59:03.949 doing. Well, he needs to wait quite a bit longer, 00:59:03.989 --> 00:59:07.570 I think. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. I think you should 00:59:07.570 --> 00:59:11.190 just be a chill guy. That's the secret of landing 00:59:11.190 --> 00:59:13.610 the hot chick is just be a chill guy who's good 00:59:13.610 --> 00:59:15.809 at Carta. Just don't take it too seriously. You 00:59:15.809 --> 00:59:17.429 know, I don't know anything else. Yeah. What 00:59:17.429 --> 00:59:18.909 else could happen this season? We have a guy 00:59:18.909 --> 00:59:21.750 not trying at all and a guy trying his best. 00:59:22.769 --> 00:59:26.429 It's the first one is the one succeeding. He's 00:59:26.429 --> 00:59:30.150 not having to do anything. So, um, let's see. 00:59:30.789 --> 00:59:34.449 Try to think if there's any other final thoughts. 00:59:34.929 --> 00:59:37.989 Right. Next time. I guess our next show, A Sign 00:59:37.989 --> 00:59:41.130 of Affection. I have only watched the first episode, 00:59:41.150 --> 00:59:45.130 but I did read 10 volumes of the manga and Joel 00:59:45.130 --> 00:59:48.969 hasn't watched it all and it's new. So it's different. 00:59:49.250 --> 00:59:53.019 It's probably... lean a more towards Jose just 00:59:53.019 --> 00:59:57.599 since it's college -age characters, but excited 00:59:57.599 --> 01:00:02.079 to cover that. Yeah, want something new to add 01:00:02.079 --> 01:00:05.780 to our catalog. Yeah, and it's on Crunchyroll. 01:00:05.800 --> 01:00:09.099 So be sure you guys listen. Yes, it's on Crunchyroll. 01:00:09.840 --> 01:00:12.860 There's Omnibus for the manga being sold, so 01:00:12.860 --> 01:00:15.519 it's doing quite well there, too. Very cute manga 01:00:15.519 --> 01:00:21.260 covers. So look forward to that. And we'll catch 01:00:21.260 --> 01:00:26.079 you guys later. See ya next time. Bye bye.
