Coolest Gadgets and Weapons in Anime
00:01:01
Speaker
We talk all things anime. We aren't experts, just very passionate anime fans who are happy to give their opinion and perspectives on various topics. This week, we are talking about cool gadgets, abilities, weapons that we've seen in anime. And to discuss it with us, we have a guest, our boy, Melvin. Melvin, would you mind introducing yourself to the people?
00:01:26
Speaker
Hello, what's up? My name is Melvin. I just graduated from Howard Law and I'm very big on anime, all different types of anime. So I'm looking forward to joining the conversation. Oh, you a lawyer. Hey. So Melvin, talk to us about some of the cool gadgets, best gadgets, whatever superlative you want to use. You just talk about some gadgets you've seen in anime that you thought were pretty dope.
00:01:56
Speaker
Well, I don't know if the death note counts because that's my favorite anime. But the death note is always a top-bringer. You know, you can write anybody's name as long as you have their face pictured in your head and you can kill them in any way that you want. How much every time you want to pass or in any type of I think that or yeah, any type of time or or anything like that. So I think that's a that's a dope one.
00:02:24
Speaker
Yeah, I had that on my list too for the best weapon. So definitely agree with you. Yeah, that's a big one. I'm trying to think. I think, and I remember in the series finale of Gurren Logging 2, they had this big, I forgot what that joint was called. It was like the final mashup of all the robots that they put together. What was that joint called?
00:02:53
Speaker
But that was also a really strong one. Who else? You got Kuwabara's sword that can cut through dimensions. I think that's it. Phenomenal weapon. Let me see. I'm
Abilities in Black Clover and Seven Deadly Sins
00:03:10
Speaker
trying to think. Hey, man. Speaking of dimensional swords, I want my guy Yami from Blackfeet. Yami? I was thinking the same thing. Yami's birthday.
00:03:24
Speaker
Oh, man. Yeah. I think the most the best way to trigger Yami is to interrupt his number two session on the toilet. He don't play. It was a battle. I won. Oh, man. Now, yeah, I think about like Black Clover when I think about a lot of the abilities that are pretty dope. Like I I really like the devil that they fought. The first one.
00:03:55
Speaker
that had the word soul magic I thought that was pretty dope like whatever he said appeared and given like the framework of the anime it made sense right like if it was any other show in another more a different world or a different scene I don't think that works as well as it did in that fight where he could just say shit and it just pops up that makes sense yeah that actually was really cool to me too especially because just the
00:04:23
Speaker
just the dichotomy of him being considered a devil, but like that power is thought of frequently more like, you know, as being a godly power, whatever God says happens. And if he says it, then it is. And I think just having that inversion of that reality of being like, okay, well, a devil is saying it, and it is, and it's happening, and this is what it is, and it will come to be. So I thought that was dope too, and it's an ability.
00:04:51
Speaker
Speaking of devils, I think Esterosa from Seven Delis, I think his commandment is probably one of my favorites for a couple reasons. One, because his commandment came from the devil and his commandment is love. So it's just real interesting because like usually love isn't something that's associated with like demons and the devil and stuff like that.
00:05:11
Speaker
So it was interesting that he got that from the devil as opposed to like an angel or something like that. It's also interesting giving Esteros's, I don't want to spoil it, but like his lineage, I guess you could say, like where he comes from. But yeah, I just thought that kind of stuck out to me. And since we were on the devil topic, I figured I'd throw that out there. That's true. I mean, thinking about Seven Deadly Sins, I think about King Spear.
00:05:34
Speaker
like as a weapon. I'm not sure if you put that as a weapon or a gadget, but that's the weapon. That door is fire. But like, go ahead. All those different configurations. Yeah, that that joins actually a phenomenal weapon to have. I think Barnes' ability is a little bit better than King's though, because like King has no like, King has no hand to hand ability. What?
00:06:03
Speaker
Oh yeah, absolutely. You can't kill Bond, first of all. Yeah, but he spams the hell out of that. That's the best thing you got going. I mean, yeah, but you can't do it because he spams it because he can. When I play Emerson in Jump Force and he spams the same move every time, I don't complain too much. A win is a win, damn it. I hate you. Unlike Bond, I have a winning record.
00:06:29
Speaker
No, no, no. When my boy King gets to doing those hand signs, it's over. I mean, if we're talking about hand signs, we got to jump to Naruto after this. But carry on about King. I want to hear more of this erroneous belief that he's some magical hero. King really isn't that like, OK, so are we talking about King pre or post transformation? That's the real question that I have.
00:06:57
Speaker
I don't mean like when he's the fairy king. I'm confused what you mean by pre or post transformation. You mean before after he gets his wings essentially because he's like a totally different man with when he gets his wings but when he before he has them he's he's not really
00:07:15
Speaker
Like, he just doesn't do it. He doesn't really use the spear. Like, when he fought Bon the first time, you know, when they were all getting reunited or whatever, like, Bon easily got up to him. So, like, if somebody gets that close to you, it's pretty much over. So, if he's fighting somebody with speed or if he's fighting somebody like a Meliodas, his abilities are pretty much worthless.
00:07:35
Speaker
Well, listen, if you give King the personality or the confidence of someone like Ameliotis or whatever, like that swagger to just get up there and do his thing, I think King is just unstoppable personally. I don't
Anime Abilities in Hypothetical Scenarios
00:07:50
Speaker
disagree with you. That's why I ask pre and post wings, because post wings, he's the bee's knee. But pre-wing, he's like,
00:08:00
Speaker
I don't know if I would, like, he'd probably get picked last if we were playing dodgeball. Dang. Damn. Man, last? I mean, dodgeball. He ends last, but, like, King is definitely right before her. Dodgeball, I'd probably pick, I'd probably pick a Diane last, because she's kind of easy to hit. Yeah. I mean, not when she was shrunk down, though. When she was shrunk down, that was the
00:08:28
Speaker
But to be honest, like so hypothetically, if we were playing dodgeball with Deanne, she could just like put up a rock wall every time you threw a ball at her.
00:08:36
Speaker
But she kind of slow though. She takes like a whole mantra to do it. So if I throw it fast enough, like she's kind of just, she's going to get bopped before she puts a little ball. Alex aiming for head shots. That's the only time you get bopped. Alex trying to kill you. She's trying to knock somebody out. We're talking about a little ball. That ball probably wouldn't even be enough to like sting her eye.
00:09:02
Speaker
I don't know. I mean, since we're talking about dodgeball, what about, oh, what's that? Hunter, Hunter. Oh, Razor's ability was busted. Bruh, honestly? Yes. But I don't particularly know what his ninnability was, per se.
00:09:22
Speaker
Look, it was hard to think about these abilities and not spam Hunter, Hunter, right? Because I think bungee gum is a dope one. I think Knuckles joint is nasty, the APR. Yeah. Oh my god. Especially with the student loans, nigga, we feeling it. Oh my god, absolutely. And then my boy, Faton, who's just a son, a fucking walking son.
00:09:46
Speaker
I had 100 on my list, but I had Biscuit's ability just because hers was really interesting. It wasn't like everybody else's, where it was like, she's hiding a part of herself. It's basically a small transformation. I just thought that was really weird and interesting. So she's normally OP, but she makes herself into this beautiful child or what she perceives as a beautiful child because she doesn't like the way she looks.
00:10:11
Speaker
That's true. I mean, but speaking of characters that do that, I'm taking it back to Black Clover. Charmy, right? That food magic? I think that's like a wild OP spam, especially because she can technically never run out of mana because she could just keep eating. Yep. That's crazy. And then if you get to her food, you know,
Unique Abilities in Hunter x Hunter and Fullmetal Alchemist
00:10:30
Speaker
it's a problem. Oh, God. Did she beat real? She beat real solo. What? And her being like half dwarf is over. Right.
00:10:42
Speaker
And I love the concept of her having a wolf in sheep's clothing. That was crazy. That was one of my favorite things that they had too. No, that's fine. What about, what about Wizard King?
00:10:54
Speaker
Yeah, I had him. I had him too on my as like just an insane ability just I mean you time magic is crazy. And then you combine time magic with the rune on his forehead where he stores time. Yeah, that was nuts. What? I can store time and basically hit a revive like like a like my boy Subaru in Re Zero except without all the pain and suffering. Okay.
00:11:22
Speaker
honestly that shit had me I like understand cuz I was asking Alex for all those spoilers and black clover she's like just watch please just watch and I understand now why you said watch that was nuts though but I didn't expect that and typically like I probably wouldn't have liked it except for his ability like it made perfect sense
00:11:43
Speaker
Yeah, and they kind of had to nerf him a little bit low key because he sort of breaks the whole story and power scaling of the whole show. Yeah, but but if you make him a kid and has only one page in his little grimoire, it makes a little more sense. Which is like kind of funny to nerf him you take away all you tear his book. It's kind of funny. True, but you still keep his mind so he's still pretty much an adult in his mind.
00:12:10
Speaker
Oh, man. Yeah, I actually took a different took a different route and in terms of abilities myself, though, you guys were kind of sticking with the more with like the NIN from Hunter Hunter. And I was kind of thinking a really cool ability would be from FMA for Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, like the idea of like being able to perform transmutation and alchemy. That would be crazy to me to be able to kind of use what you have around you to create new things.
00:12:40
Speaker
That is having a bunch of scars walking around. What you mean? Like, yeah, scar. Yeah, that that is terrifying, though, to be honest. Exactly.
00:12:53
Speaker
But I like it, I like, I thought about- Sorry guys, I just got finished playing The Last of Us. So when you said having a bunch of scars walk around, I'm like, scar, you mean like, what? Wrong thought in my head about scars. I was like, ah, you mean the character, my bad, my bad. It's okay, it's all right. I was thinking about Auto Mail when I thought about FMA. I thought that'd be like a cool gadget to have in real life, especially the people that can like transform their Auto Mail.
00:13:23
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Actually, since we were on the topic of Hunter Hunter before, I forgot one. So you remember Killer was, I guess it was his younger sister and her alter ego or whatever? Oh, that was crazy. I don't know exactly what that is, but it's broken. I guess it's like a genie, but a genie that'll kill you, I don't know. What's the cost?
00:13:53
Speaker
Right. Like asking for fingernails and stuff like that. Like that was just a very weird concept, but I like how they made it. They're like, it kind of follows that Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood thing that, you know, everything, the theory of equivalent exchange, everything has a cost type of thing. And so I figured I'd throw that one in there. How did you, how did you like it or how did you feel, or I should say, what was your reaction when you found out when like Killua finally gets to go on with his younger sibling?
00:14:21
Speaker
And you find out that it was a hack the whole time where you don't have to ask, you could just demand. Yeah, that was, I don't know. I feel like they could have written that a little bit differently. I kind of enjoyed how it was when they asked her.
00:14:39
Speaker
There's, I enjoy her having the power of one. But two, I enjoy just how people were so wary of it. Because when you, you know, demanding means that there's no repercussion. And I kind of like the fact that there was a repercussion for the things that people were asking for. And the repercussion was proportional to, you know, the request. Absolutely. The demand thing only worked for Cuba, though. Yeah. Other people wanted to do that. Not anybody else. Yeah, it's because they have their relationship, right? Yeah. The effect new.
00:15:08
Speaker
No, that's real. That's a good point. That's also kind of sad though, because like, not everybody else in the family is fucking with their own kid, like brothers. It was pretty evident though. Michael. They locked her up like in the basement for like 10 years. But they locked her up because they didn't understand her and Killua was the only person to really like
00:15:31
Speaker
You know what I'm saying? Like that's my sister. I don't care. And then that's how that relationship came to be a thing. And that's how that, you know, he got that little cheat code or whatever. He earned it, damn it. I mean, honestly, I think it's like with anything in life, like you learn how to work with somebody's strengths and weaknesses. And in her case, yeah, like she had an insane strength, but it had an insane weakness. And Kalua was like the only person that took the time
00:15:55
Speaker
get to know her as a person and therefore knew how to tap the potential out of her ability without it having such detrimental drawbacks. I feel like that, I mean, I feel like anytime you spend time with somebody or spend time really with anything, you get to know it better. And I just think that speaks a lot to how we operate as people. We just tend to kind of like, if we don't understand something, we just push it away and try to clip it off instead of taking the time to figuring out how this works and
00:16:26
Speaker
You know, just really understand it. That's true. Look at Alex coming through with the word. Alex, you does this. You know, we light skins have some abilities. What about King Bradley from Fullmetal Alchemist? Oh, God. He's a girl, bro. Busted.
00:16:56
Speaker
Very well. Well, his ability as a homunculi was that he could see everybody's weakness or foresight or something like that, right? Yeah, some foresight. He could see different things happening at once. That's crazy. Yeah, his eye was free. A tank with one sword. Yes. No, no, no, no. He didn't fight a tank. He fought an army in a fortress. After they had blew him up on a train and he ran from the river all the way back to his castle.
00:17:27
Speaker
He's a monster. Yeah, totally. Yeah, so his eyes, his ocular abilities or like the Uchiha. Only if I get an Achi's and it has to be an eternal. I'm making demands on this. I got look, look, I learned from Killua.
00:17:50
Speaker
I think that if Bradley was fighting someone like Inuchiya, he would lose. He would be in hell because of Itachi. Basically. But not even that. I feel like King Bradley did so good because everyone was so the shock value of him taking on an army by himself. But if he fought somebody as battle-hardened, as him, i.e. Inuchiya, it would be totally different in my opinion.
00:18:16
Speaker
Yeah, I could see what you mean. I was gonna say nah, but I mean, honestly, you could probably just put him in a genjutsu and it would be done. Like, you could just step away. Especially when I think outside of the world of Naruto, like, I always think about wondering, like, how would another character, like, fit in? Like, using a Sasuke Itachi fight as the basis where, like, you're watching it and, like, you find out, like, the whole first 15 minutes of it didn't even happen.
00:18:46
Speaker
Can you imagine having another character going all out using a character from Black Clover, using all their magical ability, and then find out, oh, I didn't even start yet. Yeah, that would be devastating. Just mentally, you'd just be like, frick, man. This sucks. Oh, I'd be pissed. I'd be been pissed. Yeah, I would definitely. But all right, so do you think that the Sharingan
00:19:13
Speaker
If you had to pick a doujutsu, would you pick the sharingan? Or would you pick another one? I kind of fuck with the bi- I don't even know. You mean the biakugan? Yeah, I fuck with that heavy. I mean, if you just go with the biakugan as it is, as it stands, like you just, I mean, really, it's just the ability to see super far, you know, and then to be able to see through things. And chakra points.
00:19:42
Speaker
Yeah, that's what I mean, like to see through things for the chakra points. I mean, you could use it. But I mean, every time I think about it, I think about those gentle palms and I'm just like, I don't want to. But the rotations, you can't forget the rotations on the jigsaw. Yeah, I just I don't want to spin around and give gentle palms to anybody. I'm sorry. Oh gosh. Melvin, do you like Naruto?
00:20:06
Speaker
So, I mean, I never really got into Naruto like that. I did like for the first, I think I may have watched the first two seasons. But like I- That's all you need to know to understand that Alex's favorite character is Mike Guy. Oh boy, here we go. Jesus.
00:20:30
Speaker
The power of youth. I y'all can skip me with the power of youth and useless ass. Okay. The slander. No, okay. The real talk. He's not useless.
Iconic Elements in Dragon Ball Z
00:20:46
Speaker
He just he's just he could he could have been just like Rock Lee. He could have just been so much better.
00:20:54
Speaker
He's my saiya man, okay? He is my saiya man. You know what? Since you respect my head, I don't respect tourists. I respect any of it. There, that was funny. All right, what about, I'm gonna take it to Dragon Ball Z, right? So I'm not gonna take about abilities or weapons, but more so, Bulma and her dad with them damn capsules,
00:21:23
Speaker
Are we specifically talking about like sensu beans or like what the caps? The caps like the cap. I mean, the thing that made her super rich. Like when she drops them on the ground and it's like an expense expands into something else like you can throw a capsule in the ground. And then it's like a pole camper in a castle or a time machine or whatever else the hell she wants in that moment. I thought that was so cool.
00:21:50
Speaker
Yeah, that's just straight. She's just smart. That's that big brain ability.
00:21:58
Speaker
If we're talking about Dragon Ball Z, there's two specific power, two specific abilities, powers, gadgets, whatever you want to call it, that I want to know. One is Senzu Beans. I think those are busted, since Alex mentioned them. Senzu Beans are, in fact, like, I've been fighting you for 45 minutes, I'm out of breath, and you're just gonna eat the bean and be okay, big fella? Immediately, too. Like, not even being just, immediately.
00:22:26
Speaker
Like, I was never taking a pill and had the effect that if prescriptions were that strong, nobody would be sick. That's all I'm saying. Like, that's ridiculous. Yeah, it is pretty ex- it's just like, oh, I'm back to 100. Expeditiously. But to think about it, does it really heal your wounds? Because, I mean, you can still be cut the hell up and you eat a sensu bean. I mean, like, you got a lot of energy, but like, does it heal your body? I can't. I just remember all those little scratch lines they put on the characters and they drew it. It just would be gone. It just doesn't heal your clothes.
00:22:57
Speaker
So he'd have like scratched up clothes. He'd have had that hole in the middle of his seya armor. But all of a sudden, it was like his stomach's back. Mm-hmm. No, you're right. You're right. I think it heals everything. I think it literally like resets you back to zero. Oh, yeah, that is worth it. That's the other thing. It's broken. It's broken. What's your second one, Kawan? Plot armor. I was going to say that. That's the most strong ability in any show. Is that a weapon or an ability?
00:23:26
Speaker
Oh, it depends, man. If you got that plot armor, that's a weapon. Like, Goku been using that to stay alive for how many episodes now? Like, come on. But even when he dies, his plot armor brings him back to life. Right. I mean, the man had to steal his sunshine with that one hand, Kamehameha. He'd be like, nah, hold on. The father's son? I'm here too, son.
00:23:51
Speaker
Speaking of which, like, when I was a kid, I thought, like, being able to do the Kamehameha will be, like, the dopest ability ever. But as I've gotten older, I realized it's, like, literally the most spammed. It might be one of the weakest moves in all of Dragon Ball, because everyone uses it and knocks nobody out. Everyone! Everyone uses it! Everyone can learn it. I mean, I think Videl used it once. It was just too much. Oh, my God. She used it. Krillin used it. Like, it just, it doesn't make sense. Like, I just, I don't get it.
00:24:19
Speaker
Pam uses it, and y'all know how much I love Pam and Gero. Because GT is the best, right? I don't know why they took it off canon. I don't know what they were thinking. Because who doesn't like Golden Apes? I know. Baby was the greatest enemy of all time.
00:24:41
Speaker
I know your names, I can't. Oh gosh, this sarcasm is killing me. Actually, speaking of Dragon Ball Z, even Super Saiyan is a pretty cool ability, if you think. Like, just being able to, like, power up in the middle of a fight. Because generally, like, in real life, if you find you got what you got, like, you're not about to immediately get strong because you are now more pissed off. Like, it just doesn't work that way. Are you taking Super Saiyan in general as an ability?
00:25:08
Speaker
like adult power-up ability? Because how do you feel about, like, the Kaioken or Gohan's mystic form? Mystic form? Well, first of all, first of all, Gohan's mystic form is trash, because Gohan is trash. Yeah. Gohan's not trash. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Listen, listen now. This is the kind of thing that's around here that Gohan is garbage.
00:25:31
Speaker
How was Gohan garbage? He's not what he could have been. Well, he not garbage. I'll let you waste your time with this argument. Let me hear it. Let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's
00:25:54
Speaker
You don't know what you just walked into. You know, his mother started focusing on the book. So, you know, he got a little weaker. So that one go. He's booty cheeks. Like, what do you mean?
00:26:11
Speaker
Like, listen, Gohan was supposed to be essentially Goku's replacement, right? He was supposed to be the strongest. He was supposed to be, you know, the success of everything. But like you said, he was about to be. Like, he never realized that potential, and the writers did him super dirty. He's not one of the weakest characters. Like, he can't even stand up. Like, his mystic, Gohman form, which is his strongest date, can't even stand up against, like, Blue Goku.
00:26:40
Speaker
Like he has no real purpose anymore. He's just there. He's another punching bag at this point. He has done really nothing impactful in my opinion.
Gadgets in Attack on Titan and My Hero Academia
00:26:50
Speaker
Wow. Probably the most useless character is probably like Tien and his little man, like whatever that little dude is. They're probably more useless than... Well, then Yamcha is... I would argue Tien is more useless than Yamcha. I'm just saying, I'll give up more bodies than Yamcha. Just putting it out there.
00:27:11
Speaker
But I mean, hold on. Melvin, if you think about it, Android 17, the Androids can't really increase their power level. They just have an unlimited energy source. But why is it that in the terminal power arc, it is quite clear that 17 is stronger than Gohan?
00:27:30
Speaker
Like, so why is it that, how is that the case if Gohan is supposed to be like this good and strong character? He's garbage, booty cheek, trap, doo doo, okay? I'm sorry Melvie. Yeah, you don't know what you just, you just, you just said it off. Oh my God. We're gonna say Alex off, we're gonna talk about some Attack on Titan.
00:27:59
Speaker
Oh, God. No, if we're talking about the best, if we're going to talk about Attack on Titan, the best thing they got going for them as far as gadgets goes is that 3D maneuver gear, because they wouldn't be able to do jack nothing without 3D maneuver gear. They would just be out here. Can you explain to me the purpose of those blades breaking off? Because I don't understand it.
00:28:23
Speaker
I think it's just because you're cutting bones. So the blade is going to dull at a certain point. And they're always fighting, so they should be able to detach and reattach to change out the blades. It's like using a box cutter. Eventually, you know it's going to get chipped and stuff. That makes sense. But I mean, it looks exactly like that, a box cutter on these titans, because they'd be doing nothing for the most part. Unless if you're Levi.
00:28:50
Speaker
Well, Levi is armored with the strongest plot armor in the show, more than Aaron. Really? Not what's his name that died? Oh, damn, that's a... I mean, he died. You know who I'm talking about. Blondie. That man had all the armor. Does his name also kind of sound like armor? What was I talking about?
00:29:21
Speaker
Oh, gosh, I'm just going to move on from this one. I got one that's out there because we're going to have to talk about My Hero Academia. Oh, yes. But I'm not going to do an obvious one. At least I don't think it's obvious. I'm thinking from the movie All Might's Car, that was basically his version of the Batmobile. I haven't seen it yet, guys. I'm actually excited to see it this week.
00:29:49
Speaker
I think it's on Hulu too, if you're looking for a place to watch it. Oh, okay. Hey man, we don't do free sponsorships like that, Kawah. You gotta spill it out next time. We'll get free product placement.
00:30:09
Speaker
But nah, My Hero Academia, for real, they got a crazy gadget. Insane gadgets. Insane. Like, could Bakugo even fight without those little sweat, those sweat canisters? I think he could, because he's going to be as a friend. Yeah? Yeah. Fair enough. Because Bakugo's hand-to-hand combat is still nasty. And his intelligence. Right. So if he could have close to you, gloves or not, if he smack you, it's going to hurt, is all I'm saying.
00:30:39
Speaker
Um, what about, what about, uh, Midoriya's gloves? The ones that got like the air cannon. I'm honestly not much of a fan. I'm, yeah, I'm not, I'm not impressed yet. I'm not impressed, but I'm like, also he wouldn't be able to fight without them, like legitly.
00:30:55
Speaker
Well, all my costume is like, you know, spandex. That's the best they got for him. So I feel like if that's where the director's headed. I don't know. I don't think he's going to need. I mean, because he's going to have more than one ability, I guess he he's got all his reinforcements with the gadgets, but.
00:31:14
Speaker
The first movie he had the one weapon that the villain's daughter had made him, that made him be able to punch at 100% and then he had the red joint. Yeah, the red brace joint.
00:31:34
Speaker
Yeah, not that. That was filthy. No, that's good. That's a good one. Yeah. I was thinking, from Adoria, I was thinking the best thing he did for himself was still toe boots. Yeah, the boots. Oh, yeah. What is your style? If I get, like, if you get kicked by him. How did he get stolen from his classmate? What? The style that he stole from his classmate?
00:31:59
Speaker
Don't throw it. Straight up jacket verbatim. If plagiarism was an embodiment, it would be Midoriya. Hey, Midoriya honors his classmates through symbolism, through his equipment and gadgets. Plus, Midoriya's shoot style with the steel toe boots isn't something that, ah, I forgot his name. What's the guy with the dead legs name?
00:32:29
Speaker
Oh, you're talking about Gran Torino? No, no, no, the jet legs. Gran Torino is, uh, he has... Oh, you're talking... Oh, you're talking about in, uh... Yeah, yeah. The class brother. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, the class... Like, Eda doesn't have the strength, I think, to, you know, maneuver with the steel toe boots. The steel toe boots are, like, purely for combat. Eda's all about speed. So I think the shoot style is, like, slightly different, but not that much.
00:32:57
Speaker
It's like changing the first letter and making it capitalize. It's like when you're cheating on a test and you're like, you know, you see on Wikipedia, it says they were born in 1995 and you're like, in 1995, they were born. Perfect paper, perfect paper.
00:33:24
Speaker
Oh, were you about to say nothing? I said, you don't got no hands. So that's my issue with him. So it just... You see his calves though. Them calves are crazy. He not really fighting nobody either. Cause even in the mood, like they always fighting lesser people. And that's why the camera pans away from them. Cause nobody really wants to see that fight. Even Red Rock, Red Rock, Red Rocket. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's a, he's way stronger than Iida. Yeah. Definitely. That man can take a beating. My goodness.
00:33:52
Speaker
Actually, Eda could get better though. So can Red Riot, but I think both of them, you're right. I think that they haven't done their due diligence to make sure he can shine. Eda definitely needs some growth to catch up to our big three right now. Yeah. I lowkey wanted to see Eda get nasty against Stane because Stane is the one who did his brother up. And so I was lowkey expecting him to do something with his legs, some type of wild
00:34:20
Speaker
I guess some type of style of his own. He didn't really do nothing. That kind of made me sad. That hurt my heart a little bit. But somebody said Big B earlier, and I'll be remiss if I don't talk about Mero post-shot. Because that nigga quirk is crazy. Who? Muriel? Yeah. He's a dog. Him and that about it that be eating stuff and get that ability? Oh, man.
00:34:46
Speaker
The other dude in the big three? Oh, yeah. He eats whatever food he eats. He gets that ability. Honestly, I would have thought that ability was trash, but he knows how to use it right. I think they're hyping it up, but I'm going to be in the minority by saying that my dude's ability where he just can manifest the stuff he eats, nah. Y'all can keep that.
00:35:06
Speaker
I think that was the purpose of introducing the big three. Because the big three are basically showing the kids that battle experience is what separates
Creative Abilities in Fire Force and Baki
00:35:14
Speaker
you. Because Mario's ability isn't necessarily that great either. But how he uses it offensively is a product of his experience in battles and fighting people the same way with the other people. I think, in that respect, they serve their purpose greatly. But I do agree with you. His ability doesn't seem that fantastic.
00:35:34
Speaker
Yeah. Like my dude's ability is expensive. Like he has to stay eating like straight up like as cargo every night to be able to use his number one mobility. He said his powers and his pockets ain't hurting. I mean, having shit on you during the fight because I remember in one of the fights he ran out of food. So it's like, bro, what you got? Oh, yeah, that was wild. That was pretty wild. But he was in calamari mid fight, though. I'm the same.
00:36:01
Speaker
I got an old school one for you guys, for weapons. Let me guess, does it have anything to do with Yu Yu Hakusho? No, I'm saving that one for later. No. Maybe I just switched it in my head, damn it. No, I'll figure, and you, Asha, and I like the test Saiga better than the test Saiga, mostly because I thought the ability to like,
00:36:29
Speaker
cut somebody and you heal them? Like the swing of your blade heals them? Yeah, that was really cool. Yeah. Look at you talk about Inuyasha and me not having to bring it up. Oh, I got you. I got you. No, yes. Seshomaru's sword was pretty cool. Yeah. The fact that it could heal now, he hated it. So it was hilarious watching him reluctantly swing that thing. But but yeah, no, you're right. That's a really unique sword, a sword that restores life and and instead of takes it away.
00:36:59
Speaker
That was pretty cool and unique. Yeah. And it also developed a sword that could cut through dimensions. That was like his last ability of the Ted Saiga. Oh man. I was so, I was so happy when he's getting abilities on it. Cause I was so tired of him saying, there's the wind scar. That was one scar. I was like, yeah, that's, that's funny.
00:37:27
Speaker
This one is a shout out to my man, Kawan, because it's very basic, but I think he's going to agree with me. One punch man, my man, metal bat, with his metal bat. Yeah, he's nasty though. I guess that's an ability. I think his power sounds more like a personality type.
00:37:52
Speaker
Because the more damage he takes, the more determined he gets and the stronger he gets because of it. It feels like a personality type, which is, I guess, an ability. But I'll agree with that. I'll stand behind that. Ah, I appreciate that. I thought that was going to be a little bit more of a struggle. But yeah, no, I mean, I just thought it was cool as hell that he was fighting these crazy-ass monsters and OP people with just a bat. Yeah, that's true. You got to be a bat.
00:38:18
Speaker
But following that same logic, though, people like Bang and Garo, that makes them look a whole lot better, too, because they're using their hands. Was that flowing water crushing rocks? Yeah. Bang and his brother, I forget his brother's name was like bomb or whatever, whatever their style was together when they fought the elder centipede. If we call him that an ability, that shit is busted.
00:38:48
Speaker
Oh, for sure. Speaking of busted abilities, though, uh, fire force, my man. Yes, I had them on me, too. I love. I actually really like for us. I'm looking forward to the new season. You know, you know, yeah, I know. Yeah, it comes out this week is like the new summer anime hype. But yeah, when my man went hyper speed.
00:39:13
Speaker
Which I don't even get it. Like, is he light speed? Did he just kill himself and come back? I don't know what it is. But that joint was crazy. Yeah, I think he broke the light. I think he went faster than light speed is the whole point. So he could go back in time. It was weird. It was weird, but he's like going back in time, but he's further than where he was before.
00:39:31
Speaker
All I know is man says, oh, all I gotta do is go faster. And I was like, oh, what the fuck's with that? Yeah, Shinra, I mean, to me, the show itself is cool because of the animation and the plot is starting to kind of lose me a little bit because I'm like, that don't make no sense. But let me just suspend my animation a little bit just to enjoy this moment.
00:39:52
Speaker
That's how I've been feeling lately watching it, but I do enjoy that their abilities are really crazy. I think I can appreciate, just like on My Hero Academia, the writers' creativity with designing. Basically, everyone has the same fire, pyrokinetic ability. Everyone can just manipulate
00:40:10
Speaker
fire in some way, shape, or form. But just the variety that he's able to have them use their abilities with is insane to me. And I can really appreciate that. It's like so much creativity goes into it to make them all unique, despite the fact that, I mean, at the core of it, they're all just manipulating fire, generating or manipulating fire, or both.
00:40:34
Speaker
Speaking of Fire Force, I think the captain of the first squad, I forget his name. But I'm really curious to see what his ability really is. Because we don't see much of it when they throw hands at the end of the first season. But I'm really curious to see what that is. Because he just seems overpowered and broken. So I'm really curious to see how they make that happen. Oh, absolutely.
00:41:03
Speaker
But so this is a more normal, more human one. This is one where people don't really necessarily have abilities. This one I'm going to throw out here is Bakki.
Character Focus in One Punch Man and Akame ga Kill
00:41:13
Speaker
And specifically, so Bakki's father is this dude named Yuji Rohan. He's supposed to be the strongest person on Earth. They call him the ogre. He's the devil, basically. And the specific thing I'm talking about is the fact that his back muscles essentially make up a traditional Japanese devil mask.
00:41:33
Speaker
and that's what it's supposed to look like. I think that shit is one cool because it makes him stronger, but two just because like this nigga's back is the devil. Yeah, that's nuts. That's absolutely nuts. I was thinking about Bocky as well because I don't know his name, but he's the one that can do the vacuum.
00:41:54
Speaker
They can do the what? The vacuum. When somebody's fighting, he just puts his hand over their mouth. Oh, he uses the poison hand. What's his name? Jesus. He thought about one of the inmates, right? One of the prisoners? Yeah, the dude that uses his poison hand on people, and then he touched the glass, and he made a vacuum with the glass and broke out.
00:42:14
Speaker
Oh, what is his name? It's gonna come to me later. But anyway, I just thought it was cool ability to be able to like make a vacuum with your hand or even poison hand too in itself, which was like crazy because like if you're watching the show, they like try to show you, I guess they, I'm not sure how real these techniques are, but they explained like how they do it, which I thought was pretty cool. And basically like these fighters are poisoning themselves for like seven minutes at a time and then like providing the antidote like three minutes at a time. So then like when they get ready to go to a real fight,
00:42:44
Speaker
Their hands are like poison weapons. So they just touch somebody, it like infects them. It's pretty cool. Yanagi is his name. Ryoko Yanagi. Come through research. Well, if we're going to talk about weapons, we can't talk about weapons without the greatest weapon of all time, which is Seitama's fists.
00:43:15
Speaker
Those are the strongest weapons in probably all of anime fandom. And that Genos, you know, like just just this fist, that fist can just I mean, what can it do? It's credits right there. Right.
00:43:42
Speaker
Very versatile. I will be kind of like an intro for one country. Right? Alex, you might have a second career, a third career. Right. Go ahead. No, you got it, bro. So have y'all ever seen, y'all have seen a comic I kill, right? Oh, and you know I was about to pull them up after I say you got it. You got it. Go ahead.
00:44:09
Speaker
There's just so many broken ones in the comic. Because the comic got killed. They have these things called Imperial Arms, which are essentially like these specially crafted weapons that have these special abilities. And so there's a ton of cool gadgets and shit to choose from in that enemy.
00:44:26
Speaker
but specifically I got two of mine. So one is uh it's called Incursio which is like this it's like this evolving armor so like it I guess it the the strength of like first of all this armor is supposed to be like the strongest thing you know on the planet but also like the armor changes based on the wear it like adjusts to the wear it it'll it'll like evolve so like there's a point in the anime where the artwork when the main character originally gets the armor
00:44:50
Speaker
And it's just regular armor. And then closer to the end, the armor grows wings to help him fight this stronger enemy. So I thought that was interesting. To just have something that changes as universal can be used in every situation, no matter what. And it's something simple like armor. It's not like an ability. It's an item. And items don't necessarily change.
00:45:14
Speaker
The second thing was a kame sword. That shit is nasty. Oh my gosh. She's an assassin. And basically, the way her sword is set up, if she so much as nicks your skin, you die. On sight. Literally. The way the sword is set up, it's cursed or something like that. So whenever it touches your skin, it poisons your heart and you die or something like that.
00:45:42
Speaker
No, that's real. No, yeah. I mean, her sword is crazy. Her sister's sword is nuts, too. But I like Akame's sword. I was thinking, speaking of Imperial Arms, which is kind of weird. It's kind of a cheat because it's not sure. I'm not sure like how they even counted it as it. But the one that ease this had when she drank the demon blood. Oh, yeah. She can please freaking time. She killed 400,000 people in one day. In one fight.
00:46:13
Speaker
by herself. Like, come on, come on. If that's not OP, I don't know what is. She was dropping, like, whole planets of ice on people. Like, that's what really got me. You remember my moderate move where he dropped, like, the whole planetary devastation thing where he just dropped an entire, like, massive rock?
00:46:31
Speaker
She's doing that, but with ice. That is broken. How do you stop that? And she makes the ice out of thin air, which makes it even crazier. She doesn't need any water to be there, which I thought that made her power that much more special than me. Because when you watch a lot of other anime, they use elemental powers. They need something of it, a semblance of it being there. And she was just like, nah, I got it. Oh, man. No, yeah, that's great.
00:46:58
Speaker
Sticking with kills though. I'm gonna go to kill la kill and that scissor blade. Oh my goodness. The scissor blade is wild OP.
00:47:07
Speaker
So in it, people have these uniforms. The world is run by thread. It's like an alien life force or a sentient force or whatever. And they create these, they basically take over people using threads. And the scissor blade was made to defeat the first being that came. And yeah, it's a super, it's a crazy, it's literally a sword.
00:47:35
Speaker
And like, you see like throughout the main throughout the show, like the main characters trying to get the other half because their father created it. So like, that's pretty cool. But on top of that, too, like the Goku uniforms, which I thought were pretty cool. And they like kind of adapt based off of like, which group you're in, like what school group you're in. So like, if you're on the tennis team, you have like a tennis based uniform, but I thought it was pretty cool.
00:48:04
Speaker
To talk about another show with another lit ability, have y'all seen Code Geass before? Yes. Yeah. So yeah, Lelouch's power, the King's power, where you can just look somebody into the eye and get them to be able to do exactly what you want, that is a dope ability. Yeah. My only problem with that is that it loses its effect afterwards. I agree it's super dope. I just wish there was more than one use. That's fair, but I mean like,
00:48:35
Speaker
If you, the way he uses it, it's rare that he needs to use it again on the same person. Cause not talking about a thing, he's making them kill themselves after he's done. So like the first time I saw Code Geass, I was like, is this death note for your eyes? Bro, that's why that show. Which I love it though, it's like an updated version.
00:49:00
Speaker
Yeah, definitely. There's a lot of comparisons between Death Note and Code Geass for sure. I think they're like, that's like the natural. I think people start with Death Note and then are like, I need something like this. What is like this? And then they go to Code Geass and are to satisfy it. Can we talk about Demon Slayer?
Powers in Code Geass and Demon Slayer
00:49:22
Speaker
Because
00:49:24
Speaker
I like the thunder breathing style the most, mostly because there's not a pillar that has it right now. So I think it's pretty cool whenever you see it. But yeah, I like, I like most of the abilities that I see on Demon Slayer. I'm not gonna front. Yeah, Demon Slayer is pretty cool. Yeah, it's pretty cool. I mean, I like reading the manga for it a little bit better than watching the show. Mine is like, some of the fights. I think the fights on the show are great. But like,
00:49:51
Speaker
like other stuff for it I'm not like that crazy about but reading it the reading the manga is pretty dope um but I do think that um Inosuke I like his his um ability like his crazy ability to because he's like raised in the wolf or in the woods or something like his like senses are like crazy heightened I like that a lot
00:50:15
Speaker
Honestly, Inosuke disappointed me. I wanted him to do more the whole time. I expected him to... No, I expected more of him because I did like him so much. He has a really cool... He was raw. He was a raw, self-taught savage. And I feel like they could have done so much more with his character. And having been through the manga now that the manga is over, I'm just like, come on now, have Inosuke do more. I mean, they tend to do this to our favorite people, like Rock Lee and Neji.
00:50:47
Speaker
I mean, your your favorite people besides Rock Lee. I rock Lee was hot. No, Rock Lee was cool, but not. Negi was never him and his gentle fists. No. She can't get past. It was because he comes off. He's like trying to be so hard. Like his character was always such like a cold, calculating, like, you know, character. And he fights with gentle fists like in no one said anything.
00:51:17
Speaker
I mean, my dude had crystal white, soft, pale, everything. Just soft. He was trying to be so hard. He was so mean to people. I don't know why people like Neji. Neji was always mean. Neji was a mean person. He showed no kindness, and he was like, no mercy. And he was rigid. But then he has this gentle fist. I couldn't go with it. I never liked Neji. I love it.
00:51:46
Speaker
Oh, go ahead. I was just saying, but I did, you know, but I did always like, um, Rock Lee, I was very sad when they didn't really do much with his character afterwards. All right. So I was thinking about bleach and specifically, uh, Bianco just bond cut. And the only reason I say it is like, it high key looks beautiful every time he uses it.
Admiration for Bleach's Bankai and Fate's Noble Phantasms
00:52:10
Speaker
Because it's supposed to be like the Sakura blossoms. It's essentially flowers, but he's essentially throwing around little blades, but thousands and thousands of them. They're all kind of like, I got some hue of pink. It's just beautiful, but it's also super deadly as fuck, so I got to throw that one out.
00:52:32
Speaker
I have that on my list too, like Byaku's ability is crazy. And I think in Japan, forgive me if I'm wrong, but I think in Japan, pink is not considered a feminine color. So that's why a lot of Japanese characters, the ones that are particularly supposed to be more masculine and whatever, they're not scared or whatever to wear pink. And it's funny to us in American culture to have someone who's supposed to be this hard character using pink
00:52:59
Speaker
But, you know, he he definitely had a really cool ability with his Bankai. I thought it was cool. I also thought Renji's ability, speaking of Bankai's were really dope, too. With with the dragon for his Bankai, that was crazy. Was it Zabi Maru or something like that? Yeah. Yeah, Zabi Maru. Yeah. Well, I want to talk about Yu Yu Hakusho.
00:53:28
Speaker
I'm gonna keep it simple. I'm not even gonna go because you know, everybody has just phenomenal abilities on the show. It's a bigger show. I'm thinking about my man Hiei with that dragon of the darkness flame. My goodness.
00:53:40
Speaker
my goodness especially the first time he unleashed it and everybody was like so afraid of it and then it ate him and you're just like oh shit he done fucked up and then he's like surprise i'm back i'm like oh this man never left okay yeah all right i gotta do that and yoko korama is always gonna be my favorite but i'm not sure if the ability to switch to a demon form is enough of like something that counts as an ability because he's already a demon he's just like bouncing between forms but um
00:54:10
Speaker
You know, I'll let you guys decide on that part. Have y'all seen any of the Fate series at all? I have. I've only, I've seen Fate, but I haven't, that one, I try to, okay, I saw one all the way through and I don't know which one I saw. And then I've tried the others and I haven't really been super, super into them. But I did watch one straight through and I liked it.
00:54:39
Speaker
the animation is insane. But I don't know which one I saw. There's this guy, there's this broken character named Gilgamesh and everybody who really understands. So every character essentially has this noble phantasm, which is essentially their special move.
00:54:57
Speaker
And this dude is broken, his ability is broken specifically because he's supposed to be like the first, I guess, heroic figure, whatever. So basically the way the anime is premised, they bring these heroic characters back, heroic figures from history back, and they fight for the Holy Grail.
00:55:15
Speaker
And the Holy Grail is supposed to be able to grant them some type of wish. Well, Gilgamesh is supposed to be essentially like one of the first conquerors or whatever. And so he's like the first heroic person that gets brought back by the Holy Grail. And his noble phantasm, or his special move, is literally everybody's special move. That shit is busted to me. So like, say Sabre's noble phantasm is like she'll shoot. She wields Excalibur, so she'll use her sword and do some crazy shit with me.
00:55:43
Speaker
But Gilgamesh essentially has like, he has like everybody's Excalibur and he can just use it at will. That shit is busted to me. That sounds nasty as heck. Can he use it? Can he wield it to the same ability as like them, the person who's using their ability?
00:56:03
Speaker
The way he does it is he creates these little portals. So everybody's noble phantasm to Gilgamesh is essentially a treasure. So he's essentially a treasure hoarder. But he opens these portals and shoots them out of the portals, which is why it's busted. Because he can open, I'm talking about 50, 100, 150 portals at a time, and just be shooting noble phantasms at you. And you don't know what's going on. It's like, you got to watch it. It's super busted.
00:56:33
Speaker
Jeez. I'm putting it on my list now. I need to see this. Another one that I think you should, another good one is Terraformers. So this anime is set up, the way this anime is set up, humans like, there's a problem. So basically humans can't, I don't think humans can live on earth much longer until they're trying to find another place. And so they, they're on Mars for some reason.
00:56:59
Speaker
And Mars is inhabited by these human-sized cockroaches that are just killing all the humans, period. And so they send people up to Mars, like an assault team, basically. And the assault team has the abilities of certain animals. So there's this one specific guy who has the powers of a pistol shrimp. And a pistol shrimp is like this. They have one of the strongest punches known to men. They live in the depths of the water.
00:57:25
Speaker
and then like use their like insane punching power, like, you know, crack open food and shells and stuff like that. And so this man on land with no water resistance is just like knocking the fuck out of these roaches, out of these like roaches. It sounds stupid because you're calling them roaches, but like they're actually like big ass cockroaches.
00:57:44
Speaker
But I just like how they, it was a weird concept to me to put animal characteristics and powers into humans in the way that they did. Because it's like an injection and not necessarily like an inherent ability.
Animal Abilities in Terraformars and Unique Gadgets
00:57:57
Speaker
It's like a temporary thing. So I just thought that was interesting. I thought that out there. I'd have to check it out. I'm not familiar with that one. One that I like, it's this ID Invaded.
00:58:14
Speaker
And like the basic premise of the show, you're following this police department that are trying to solve various like murders, homicides. And what they do is they have these wells that allows someone to go in to the subconscious of a person and figure out who the victim was and how the person died or like how they got to that. Reminds me of one of the episodes of Black Mirror.
00:58:42
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. No, yeah. It gave me that vibe. It gave me Black Mirror vibes for real when I started watching it, especially because there's a pretty gnarly twist in the middle and at the end that I really appreciated. But I thought that was a cool gadget, right? Imagine when the police gets somebody and they arrest them, they just jump into their unconscious and figure out, or subconscious, let's say, and figure out
00:59:09
Speaker
what their motive was, how they got there and all that stuff. I thought that was pretty dope. And it's different because it's like the show is not about I love you guys know I love anime about people fighting and all that. But I thought it was pretty cool to watch something like that where like the premise isn't that it's more so you trying to solve like how this person died or how or why they died for that matter. So it was pretty cool. Remind me what that's called again.
00:59:40
Speaker
ID invaded. Okay. Yeah, it's on Hulu last I checked. I haven't been on Hulu in a while. And then another one that I really like, it might be corny, but I just love it. It's called the Cannon Busters. It's on Netflix. It's about 10 episodes. The main- Oh, don't you forgive me for product placement earlier? Well, I mean, it already happened.
01:00:09
Speaker
But Cannon Buses, really good one. The main reason I watched it is because it's actually written by a Black guy. And it was no like run of it was in 2005. And then after it ran as a comic, then they like it kind of got shelved. But then they brought it back. And they gave it like a 10, Netflix gave it a 10 series run.
01:00:38
Speaker
And the one thing I liked about it was they have this car. It's called Bessie. And basically, Philly the Kid is the main protagonist that you're following. You're just following him around on various adventures, pretty much, until he decides that he's going to help somebody out for the first time in his life. That's literally from the show. That's not me trying to read them. And you find out that his car can turn into various different things if you put quarters in it.
01:01:06
Speaker
So it's kind of like, it has like a little arcade slot and if you put quarters into it, it like turns into like a raging bull or it could turn into like a tank or it could turn into like something with a turret on top so he can shoot people, which is pretty cool. The other thing I thought I was pretty interesting about it though too is like he couldn't trick it. So like if you put in something that was like a quarter, then his car will get sick and it wouldn't help him in the fight, which I thought was like a funny little twist. Cause I do like a little comic relief in my anime sometimes.
01:01:38
Speaker
What happened? Huh? Are you still there? Yeah, I'm here. OK. Mine went blank for a second. I was just checking. No, yeah. Yeah, no, I thought it was pretty cool. That and then there's also, this one's kind of a little bit, it's not that bad, actually. When I was thinking about it at first, I was like, how do you explain this to someone? Well, basically, same show, Cannon Busters. You find out that one of the main characters, I'm not going to say which one,
01:02:07
Speaker
isn't a person. It's like a weapon.
Concluding Thoughts on Diverse Anime Abilities
01:02:14
Speaker
So you find out towards the end that, well, as the viewer, you see her do shit that's super weird. And you're just like, mm, OK. And then you find out at the end that she is, in fact, a robot with crazy power, like nuclear power times 100.
01:02:35
Speaker
with like letting off these blasts and stuff but she has like specific orders and she's like I kind of like the imperial arms type deal where it's like she's ancient so nobody really knows how she was programmed but they just know what she's capable of but everyone but only people from the kingdom that she's in knows that so that was another good one I liked
01:03:02
Speaker
Yeah, I don't think I have any others. The only one I kind of wanted to throw out there just as an honorable mention is I always thought that Sora's Keyblades were really cool in Kingdom Hearts, but that's more of a video game, obviously. But I really like Renji's. That's not the right person. Axel's Keyblades. It's like, that's not correct.
01:03:28
Speaker
Yeah, Axel's key blades are really cool. Like the fact that he had the fire, those were dope. But I think that was pretty much kind of went through my list. Oh, have to kind of throw out as an ability, the psychic powers from Mob Psycho are pretty cool. They seem pretty practical, useful. You could use them for a lot of different things. Delicious. I love it. What's that guy's name from Claw? I think it's Claw.
01:03:57
Speaker
Um, the one that's blind, but like, he's like part of the top five and he could just like, not like he's just been fighting everybody. No, I'm talking about what you're talking about, but I can't remember his name, whatever his ability is. That joint's crazy. I don't understand what his second ability is completely, but he'd be taking people out as if he can see. I thought it was pretty cool. Um, what else was, Oh, my honorable mention, because I knew neither one of you were going to mention it.
01:04:26
Speaker
uh one piece um specifically Blackbeard. Blackbeard can create essentially what's a black hole at will which is pretty cool i mean i don't know i don't know to me i thought that was like a nasty ability it's really OP and it's why he becomes like um i think it's like they call him the yoko is one of like the emperors of the sea um or four emperors of the sea but he um
01:04:53
Speaker
This man can like, he's like the only person in the show that we see possessed two devil fruits. So he takes white beards, which gives him the ability to create earthquakes at will, earthquakes that are strong enough to destroy the earth, like split the earth in half. And then he can also make black holes at will.
01:05:16
Speaker
This man's a pretty big monster. The problem is his power is also so devastating that he can't use it casually. He can't just get into a casual fight with this guy. Neither one of you can afford it, really, because he can't really use his power to the full extent. But if you fight him hard enough, he might, and then everybody loses. I see what you're saying. Yeah, because I don't watch One Piece, I don't think I can fully appreciate it. Don't worry. I'm going to send you a couple of clips.
01:05:46
Speaker
Okay. Ignore the whole like, nevermind, you'll see it. One piece is truly an acquired taste, but once you get into it, get into it. Yeah. You got any honorable mentions, Kawan? I can't think of any. I think I threw out most of mine that I wanted to. I can't think of any more off the top of my head at this point. Hey man, that's it. That's all we needed though.
01:06:16
Speaker
All right, well, I appreciate you guys for yet another phenomenal episode. You know, we love them gadgets. We love them abilities. We love them weapons. I wish remember when he said something. He said he was talking about food wars. I wanted him to taste them, because I haven't really watched that one that much. I wanted to hear what his thoughts were on that. Yeah, I could set up a call. No, because you're trying to get me to watch it. I was telling him I wasn't going to watch it until
01:06:46
Speaker
until I finished Black Clover, because I told Alex I was going to watch it as, like I kept asking her questions all the time, such as, oh, hey, why isn't anybody trying to kill, you know, for his magic item? And she's like, watch it. Please just watch it. And then I understood that they indeed wanted to merch this guy.
01:07:09
Speaker
But yeah, no, you told me he's going to he's going to put me on to some other ones. I mean, I don't know. I appreciate some of the other ones. One of the things I was thinking about doing is honorable mention, but I wasn't sure if it really counts because it's like not like a like a super special ability, but like your lie in April, where like that the ability to play piano at that level, I thought that was pretty nuts. Yeah, that's an ability. Look, I wasn't sure. I want to get roasted by you. You vicious. No, I'm not.
01:07:41
Speaker
No, your life role is insane. Yeah, it's very well done. And I agree that the way that they play piano is nuts. That is insane talent. Oh, yeah. Well, guys, I appreciate you. We appreciate you guys for listening. And it's been another fun episode. Catch you guys next week.
