Introduction to the Anime Challenge

00:00:04
Speaker
Welcome to We will long. I'm John and I'm forcing my friend Nelson who doesn't like anime to watch and discuss different anime. Thanks for tuning in. Let's get started. Hi, everybody. Welcome back to the show this week. My name is Nelson. Here with me is John. Say hi, buddy.

Switching from Naruto to My Hero Academia

00:00:22
Speaker
Hello there. That's me. It is you. And let's get excited because we are back to my hero academia and away from fucking Naruto. Which means it's a great week. You sound so hyped right now. I am giddy. Yeah. I am smiling ear to ear. This is, believe it or not, this is overwhelming excitement. I am too excited to even emote.

Character Overload in My Hero Academia

00:00:50
Speaker
I can feel the energy. I am. Hello, everybody. So excited. There we are.
00:00:56
Speaker
We are back to good shows finally. And oh, my God. Sure. But shit kicked off. And we got to meet way too many people in a way too short an amount of time. So many voice actors, so little time. Oh, my God. And just so many people in general. It's like, oh, you know how you guys have been like you guys vibed with one a for a whole season and it was great. And now you kind of know these people. Yeah. Cool. Here's 72 more people that you need to know. Exactly. You know, it's like, you know, when you get to the bridge builder arc and then you set the tuning exams and then you meet like Rock Lee, Neji, Ten Ten, Ino, Shukamaru, Choji, Hinata, Kiba, Shino, all of them, you know? This is like 72 people though. This is a lot of people.
00:01:48
Speaker
It's good. It's good. It worries me. I'm not going to remember. You were but before right before we started recording. You're like, oh, did I touch on so and so and this person and this person? Like, I don't know who the fuck they are. Oh, you gave me names. I don't know what they mean. Oh, yeah. I am. I am so overwhelmed with just how many fucking people don't worry. They have the right memory to like lock, keep it on lock. It's all good. Yeah, I am very well known for remembering things. So thank God I remember characters like. Uh.
00:02:26
Speaker
I'm going to be honest, I don't remember any of their names. Jesus. No, I'm zero. Literally. OK. Fucking zilch. That's why I'm here. Oh, I'm here. You are to tell you who the fuck is who. and It's very helpful. I'll be honest. It's very helpful.

Pacing Comparison: Naruto vs. My Hero Academia

00:02:44
Speaker
Got you. I guess, yeah, this week we watched was episode 14 through 19. Yeah, it was. ah We basically got stages one and two from Naruto. Mm hmm. All done in six episodes. Yes. Fucking Liz. Great. Yeah, it's solid. it So that official. I'm like, oh, cool. We have. What is this? is This a 24 episode season? Uh, twenty five.
00:03:14
Speaker
25. Okay. it is it So yeah, in, you know, six episodes with 19 more to go, we got, what was it? 20, 24 episodes of Naruto worth of stuff. Pretty much. Yeah. Pretty much, yeah. I'm not all 26. Oh, OK, cool. ah Fuck yeah. Pacing. We're doing it. We are. We're doing that thing. We're meeting. Deku. We're crying. Oh, so why? It's like you cried so hard, you impacted the ground, right? Maybe that's his quirk is he's just really good at crying.
00:03:57
Speaker
Yes. That's where all the strength comes

Deku's Unique Quirk Theory

00:04:01
Speaker
from. 100%. He actually is a ah water quirk. He wasn't born quirkless. He just has ah water that he emits from his eyes with ah great force. His dad, who's apparently not in the picture, is actually just that ah fire hydrant fireyri guy. Plot twist. Oh, my God. To spoilers, bro. I know. I know. I know. You can't be doing that. Not me adding on another voice actor that I realized that you knew. No. It's OK. We only have like six in this. Just wait for the next like fucking clump episodes. Oh, yeah. Where it literally every person who comes up, you'd be like, you know him, you know him. Who's that? It's all good. You know him. Mm hmm.
00:04:48
Speaker
You're welcome. Killing me. It's all good. You're fucking killing me. I recognize. fun I recognized like one person and it was only after you said it. Yep. Exactly the way I like it. Shut up, Yuri. Oh, yeah, that is him, isn't it? Yeah. Oh, wow. I got a little person right over here. My favorite thing was during our watch is I was able to pick out just like I did in

New Opening Theme Praise

00:05:16
Speaker
Gate that one time with ah David Montraga. I was able to pick out Derek Snow being an additional voice actor for a crowd and I was like, oh, hey, hi, how are you? And now we have David Montraga, one of the main characters.
00:05:30
Speaker
is Which it's fucking great. Yeah, because I I really like that character. Hell, yeah, especially after this clump. And let's get into why. Let's kind of, you know, talk to what we went through. Yeah, crazy. Oh, yeah. Couldn't be us. You know what we did open up with? A brand new opener. Yes, we did. Opener number two, a bop, a banger. And this is your reaction. Thoughts on the new opener. Is this one that you were excited for me to get to? This is one I'm just excited for because it's a bop. It's a banger. Yeah. Hell yeah. It's absolutely a bop. You betcha. It was good. Mm hmm.

Ururaka's Motivation and Backstory

00:06:17
Speaker
You enjoy the tone perfectly. Yeah. ya Yeah. Yeah. It was super good. I loved it. Hell yeah. After Naruto, were you expecting me to not like this one? You know, honestly, I was expecting you to be like, well, after you didn't like the first one from this. is when I was like out questioning all of your life choices. um So that's why I was nervous. It's understandable to be nervous. ah huh However, I really liked this opener. Nice. um I am excited for our next clump when I get to listen to it again.
00:07:04
Speaker
Yeah. Hell yeah. white Yeah. So it's yeah. it Like I said, I think it matches the tone of the season and just the show overall really well. i And I, you know, I found myself just kind of bobbing along to it. Yeah, it is indeed a bop. Yeah, it was it was great. And yeah, like I said, I'm excited for more. I'm excited to see what they do with other intros going forward as the show keeps kind of amping up. It keeps going. Yeah, I I'm sure that the openers honestly are just going to get better and better.
00:07:41
Speaker
yeah I heavily fuck with both the opener and the closer for season seven. My favorite one is the first season six still for openers, but- I thought you were about to say the first season and I'm like, oh, I shit on your favorite thing. No, no, no, no, no. The animation style, there's a shot in the opener where it looks like it goes to the manga almost and it like, I don't know, it just makes my brain happy. It's like playing homage to source material. I'm like, yeah, look at you. Look at that shit. Um, yeah. But cool. Fuck yeah. Yeah. Um, solid opener. I'll be to open up with, you know, the heroes

The Sports Festival Announcement

00:08:24
Speaker
talking. We get to see Itame, AKA Snipes, uh, you know, talking with people about the upcoming sports festival and whether or not it should happen.
00:08:33
Speaker
We had sort of a recap episode on sort of bundled up where it's like touching on the events are like the fallout from the usj attack and then which i find funny because the episode before this that we skipped over. Was already a recap episode yes this is a recap episode done by the actual characters themselves as opposed to. I'm literally just re watching clips but then having deku being like and then catch on did this. ah Yeah i'm a room yeah kona hamaru what a guy all.
00:09:12
Speaker
Where that came from, I have no clue. Isn't co ma the one that did the narrative? Yes. I see the vision now. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I know things. I sometimes remember things. Look at you. Proud of you. I even remembered his name. Yep. That's the big one for me. That is a big one for you. I was going to fuck it up and you were going to be like, oh, no, it was actually a Nari. Yeah, I remember that one to let's go be choose. I'm just excited for a Nari to come back in the future. I'm going to kill myself. ah So we get to see the stuff on the news. We get to see people at home. We see Deku's mom making him some food that looked fucking delicious because anime food. I love Deku's mother. She's so nice. She's so sweet. or Early on with her whole like
00:10:09
Speaker
trying to tell him it was okay to be quirkless and you know everything that kind of destroyed him I was like OK, let's, you know, tone it down a little bit. You don't have to beat your kid into the ground that bad. Yeah. But seeing her during all of this, you know, recording the event and cheering them on the yeah cutting back to her during all the stuff like, damn, what a supportive mom. Oh, yeah. I. Yeah, Decco's mom is big great.
00:10:46
Speaker
Oh, God. There's there's a ah ship for her later on. I'm interested to what we know what your thoughts will be on that. No. ah ah Yeah, I already have a ship for her. Who? It's her and Eraserhead. Interesting, okay. He seems like he just wants to lay in bed and have some food. she I feel like she just likes to go to the kitchen, make some stuff, and share it with the world, you know?
00:11:20
Speaker
Yeah. Go give go give him some breakfast. Yeah. oh But anyway, we'll circle back to that in the future. It's all good. But yeah, Eraserhead, speaking of, a new voice actor now, Christopher Wecamp, is ah you know someone that you recognize

Voice Actor Connections in Anime

00:11:42
Speaker
from two shows. I don't think we went over this. We did not go over this. I want to keep that. So. Give me give me the shows. So you're not going to be able to guess it in either one. So I'm just going to tell you. Perfect. um So in spy family, remember during the interview process, the dick um that was like laying. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Eraser head. um And then.
00:12:11
Speaker
He also is the father of the best character in attack on titan is god be bronze father i'm in a ot.
00:12:27
Speaker
Yeah.
00:12:30
Speaker
So shout out him being in some other work as well. Damn it. Oh, but like I said, we had the heroes talking about the events that happened. We had Snipes. We also had ah Midnight there as well. Shout out to Midnight. Yep. Voiced by Elizabeth Maxwell, who I know from King of Thorn. No, thank God. Uh, Attack on Titan. Main character, like a known character, a known character really for the first two seasons. Really, for the first two. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Riley's. What's her name? Levi's girl. Nope. Portia died in the first one. It was, in fact, Ymir. Oh, yeah.
00:13:19
Speaker
Stares at my Amir Funko pop. Yeah, that one. yeah But yeah, solid. So yeah, fun little, ah you know, voice actor multiverse. um Because everyone's in the show. Everyone. Just wait till the end of season seven when I'm in the show. like Nutty. Everybody is in this. Oh, just wait until you see some of these other ones, buddy. It's i'm actually they actually recast the voice of all might. It's me now. Oh, God. So yeah sorry about that. The inlanter ah slander, slander. Oh, but anyway.
00:13:59
Speaker
Moving forward, after he he eats some nummy food, Deku goes to school. They all have a little talk and everything and they all sit down, Aizawa comes in looking like a fucking mummy. ah He is bandaged head to toe after his fight with the Nomu and also Shigaraki at the USJ. Um, but he is still showing up to work. So look at him. I would have called out. Oh, a hundred percent. I would have called out. He got his shit rocked. He should not be anywhere near, uh, work at all. My brother in Christ, you got six concussions. You shouldn't even be looking at light. No.
00:14:43
Speaker
But yeah, um so we get to see him show up and then he brings up that the USJ stuff happened and that they shall all be on guard and there's a new thing and that they can't relax and they're like, oh no, more villains is like, no, the sports festival.

Pressure of the Sports Festival

00:14:59
Speaker
And they're like, oh shit, cool. That's a thing. Yeah, we find out that it is the tuning exams slash the Olympics for UA. So that's cool. I love the whole concept of it. Yeah, just the like, OK, this is the, you know, the test for all the students. But we're just going to bring in everybody who wants to watch, I guess, because like they were saying, the abilities that they have like outshines the entirety of the Olympics. Yeah. So the fact that they get to, you know, fill a stadium and then put that pressure on everybody of like
00:15:39
Speaker
You're going to be watched. Yeah. youre If you are a hero, you are well known. People will be excited to see you and they will stand there and watch you fight. Yeah, it's great prep for the future. It really is. I love how they did it. Yeah. And also like, you know, who wouldn't watch Superpowered Olympics over normal Olympics? I still want there to be a normal guy crazy in the Olympics. I still think every event should have a normal person. Yeah. Like the control. Yeah. Like I can look at the guy using the like losing the Usain Bolt and being like, man, that dude's slow as shit. He can't even come close. And then if I had to run it next to that guy, it'd be like fucking, you know, CW's the flash. Yep. Your favorite. Like it would just be great.
00:16:34
Speaker
ah yeah But yeah, so they all start doing a little training where we see a little flashover of a montage. We have a little one-on-one with ah Deku and All Might, where he's like, I want you to use this as an opportunity to like show yourself to the world and proudly proclaim I am here. And then we also get a little talk with ah Deku, Ida, and Uraraka, where we find out Uraraka's motivation for becoming a hero. Which is she wants money because she is money. Yeah, she grew up not, you know, the wealthy family or anything like that. And so she wants to make money so she can bring her parents on like a nice trip and like take care of them as they're growing older. And she's like, it's not as noble as your guys is, is like, no, that's fucking still very noble. Want to get care of your family. That's like top tier. Yeah.
00:17:32
Speaker
Like the two acceptable things are I want to help people. And I want to take care of my family. Yeah. And it's, you know, still taking care of your family. Yeah. um Yeah. So Raka, she great. I love it. Amazing. Solid character. Yeah. I think she is. I actually like I'm she's growing on me more and more. Hell yeah. Not that like I disliked her to begin with, but she was just liking her more. She was just kind of there. Yeah, she hasn't gotten a huge showcase. Yeah. And I guess the more we get her as an actual person, as opposed to a hero, it's like, oh, OK, you're actually fairly cool. Yeah. Hell yeah. Liking characters. Proud of you. Love it. And not taking 53 episodes for me to go. Oh, so you are somewhat decent. Listen, Linda.
00:18:27
Speaker
Listen. Hey, I got to make you hate me at some point during this. Have to. Anyway. It's not hard. Back to the show. But yeah, we see the beginning of the sports festival. Everything is being hosted by Midnight, your favorite, which you had to say. Why did they really let a porn star run the Olympics? Uh, because, you know, makes sense. Yeah, ah
00:19:00
Speaker
we tune. Yeah, we tune into fucking ah the Paris Olympics on the next go around and Mia Khalifa is introducing the pole vault. Yeah, just cash. What are we doing? I'd probably get more people to watch, honestly. I mean. Yeah, and also midnight is a top hero. So it makes sense. She's a pro. Yeah. shit Well, she carries a whip and wears a bunch of leather. I'm tuning in. ah Did you not see what her bracelet was?
00:19:34
Speaker
Oh, the handcuffs? Yeah, it's just a handcuff. yeah On both hands. Kinky. ah but Just wait until you find out what her quirk is. ah Cool. Oh, boy. Oh, don't you worry. It's nothing too crazy. It's an ace. Nah, it's all good. um Anyway. ah yeah Going forward, we get to meet a couple more people. ah before sport Before the sports festival starts up, we also get a little thing of a couple of people eyeing up class 1A, sizing up the competition. ah We get to see Shinzo ah introduce himself.
00:20:13
Speaker
He is the guy with the purple hair. Uh, he is in like the miscellaneous class and general studies is what it's called where they're like actually going to school, which is fucking nutty. Um, and if he does well enough and people underperform, then there's a chance for him to get transferred into the hero course. And, uh, anyone who underperforms to get switched out. So he's like, Hey, fucking bring your best. Cause I'm coming for your spot. So. That's fun, that's interesting. We get him and then we also get Tetsu Tetsu there as well. taoo Full name Tetsu Tetsu Tetsu Tetsu. David Wald aka and Tommy. And yeah, both of them, they have a little interaction.
00:20:59
Speaker
Shinsou, voiced by Jared Green, is also a voice from Spy

Shinsou's Competitive Ambitions

00:21:07
Speaker
Family. Yes, he is. Uh-huh. Do you know who he is in Spy Family? No. He is Bill Watkins, the- No way! From Dodgeball. Father! Mm hmm. The very same way. Hey. So, oh, my God, Jared Green. Yeah, I knew that back when we watched my family was like, oh, that's going to be fun for the future. That's fucking great. Yeah. So in the next episode, we get to see Deku beat up the Watkins potentially. Who knows? Papa Papa.
00:21:46
Speaker
ah
00:21:50
Speaker
think i'm gonna hear a Father. ah Our most memed character. I love it. Oh, God. So we go from there to the sports as well. Actually starting first leg is going to be a obstacle esque race where they have to go through these different things and then they have to be first back. As they start running, there's a huge bottleneck going through the tunnel where people start getting crammed in, and Todoroki is like, oh, this is the first obstacle.

Todoroki's Strategy in the Obstacle Race

00:22:23
Speaker
Easy. Freeze, everyone. And so he makes a whole bunch of ice on the ground, and then he keeps on running forward, taking the lead. Bakugo jumps into action using his blast to propel him through the air forward, and we see other students from Class 1A also thinking quickly on their feet and getting on into it.
00:22:43
Speaker
Hi, I have a question. You have a question. I maybe have an answer. I don't think you do, but it will certainly be a discussion point. OK, we've already done this. Already during the the fire alarm. Yeah, with Eda with Eda. Uh huh. Why did Uraraka not just do exactly what she did? Um, you know, like. This is the exact same thing. Mm hmm. Why are we not levitating ourselves out? Um, just going over the crowd. Yeah, well, that's probably what she wound up doing to get out of it. We just didn't see it. OK, I will. I will accept that. Yeah, it might be an off screen thing.
00:23:34
Speaker
Because we honestly don't see her until she's squaring up against robots in the next thing. Oh, yeah. Not the robots. Yeah, the robots. But yeah, they get out, Todoroki's running forward, and then we see all of the zero point ah robots just chilling there from the entrance exam, the one that Deku was able to take down that was fucking massive. And there's a whole bunch of them. We see the ah My Hero rumbling happening, ah and Beartolt stands up to them, does some ice on the ground. Ironic. Yeah.
00:24:10
Speaker
I. He's like, now you feel the colossal Titan, uh, dread. He takes down one. Uh, he freezes a bunch as well and, uh, knocks a couple off balance that were there falling around. So that way he can run forward and run through. And it's more of an obstacle for everyone else. Uh, keep it in first place. I like that we got to see because he didn't do the entrance exam. We got to see how easy it would have been for him and why he got in on the recommendation.
00:24:41
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Well, also we found out later that ah who his father is. Well, yes. Yes. His father is the number two hero endeavor. ah Second only to all my. all flight Yeah. Dig it ah more on endeavor later. But yeah, so we get this whole little thing. We see the robots. We see more one a students launching into it. ah We get commentary from both Eraserhead and also present mic throughout the entire thing. I just love their dynamic. ah And all the energy that present mike brings and then eyes always just like very Straightforward answer and then present mike has some witty little chime in Yeah, he is he's fucking great. I very much enjoyed his whole I guess They're banter dynamic. ah Yeah. Mm-hmm
00:25:38
Speaker
That was, a dynamic was the word I was looking for and could not find. I got you. You know, like how all the 1A people are launching into it and he's like, Endeavor, era ah Endeavor, Jesus. Eraserhead, what are you teaching your students? They're amazing. He was like, it's not me. It's all of their own personal drive to succeed. That's all pushing them forward and causing them to do this. He goes, wow, you heard it here folks ah first, folks. He's a bad teacher. He's a horrible teacher.
00:26:06
Speaker
I love it. ah They're great. Enjoy that duo so much. Yeah. Yeah. They bring us on. Hell yeah. We get through the robot section. Deku picks up a scrap and is able to slice a robot in half and he continues moving forward. And we get to this massive like gap with a whole bunch of stone pillars coming up out of it and a rope going across.

Hatsume's Engineering Talents

00:26:34
Speaker
Todoroki is already across by the time that people get there. Then we get c so ah with uber rocket and also we get to Hatsume entering into the fray with her babies. We find out that she has a ton of gadgets being from the support course. ah They're the people who make a whole bunch of gear for heroes to enhance their powers and sort of make it a little bit better. So she's essentially a little engineer student and ah they're able to bring in their gadgets to help them get through the stuff in the sports festival. I want more of her.
00:27:12
Speaker
I am. I am glad we are getting more as the answer to going on. Uh-huh. But damn, what a fun character. I enjoy her. Mae Hatsume, a.k.a. voiced by ah Alexis Tipton as well, um is someone that you know. I know that name. Mm hmm. It is, in fact, ah the dead sister Shizuku from. Oh, my God. That's right. Yep.
00:27:41
Speaker
Crazy that King of Thorne is rearing its head yet again in every show. Yep. And we already had Sue being main character from King of Thorne as well. Yep. And then Uraraka being Timmy. So there's also another voice actor. That is from King of thorns that we'll get to later on. i I know you said the the mercenary guy is in here. Mm hmm. So I am listening for that one. Hell, yeah. But yeah, hot, survey great character. um She has like the little targets for her eyes, which I just think I dig it. Who design choice? Oh, my God. That's why I also know Alexis Tipton from what?
00:28:30
Speaker
She's in Kaiju number eight. Yeah, there's a lot of these people that are in Kaiju. Yeah. Yep. Yeah. So cool. But yeah. So, you know, meeting more people. while We see her like with ODM gear and like jet boots take off across the entire thing. They're like, whoa. And then Deku pulls himself along very casually underneath the rope ah with his robot scrap. And we get to see Ida being like, everyone's watching. I need to not embarrass my family or my brother and his agency. and then he hops on the thing, um makes a very weird pose, goes full T pose, and lets his engines just propel him forward from there across the rope. While that the speed hero is not in first place also, just saying... Yeah, he... I don't want to be an embarrassment.
00:29:20
Speaker
Brother, you're in the middle of the pack. This is to be fast. This is for you. This is ah this is what you're supposed to be doing. Uh huh. Yeah, which I think that there's. ah Let's see, there's probably like five classes that are currently competing, two hero, one support, one business, one general. ah So in 20 each, that's about a hundred people. He does end up finishing in the top 10, but like he should hope so he should have been in like at least the top three.
00:29:59
Speaker
Instead, we're going to let fucking Deku get there, brother. I know, Deku. But yeah, people get through there and then we get to the next obstacle, which is a minefield. Not like dangerous. ah They are toned down mines where they are loud and flashy for the TV. Like springboards. Yeah. However, if you put a whole bunch of those together, as Deku found and you launch it at the same time, you go fucking flying. Then it's dangerous. Yeah. Todoroki's up in front, Bakugo starts doing his blast to just go over the mines and and catches up Todoroki. The two of them are fighting with each other like you know siblings, ah just like yeah just waving their hands. a very sibling dynamic
00:30:44
Speaker
Yes, all three of them are like brothers, and it's great. I feel like Deku is the middle child, middle child. Totoro is the youngest and then Bakugo is the angry older. Yeah. Couldn't have said it better.
00:31:03
Speaker
but yeah we get to see ah that going on deku has a big brain idea he hits the mines launches itself forward he comes down like on top of them and then he's like well i gotta submit

Deku's Strategic Victory

00:31:16
Speaker
this. then He takes this thing hits the ground and explodes more mines underneath their feet sending them to flying off to the side a little bit and propelling him further even farther. There you go. Yep. There we are. Further or even farther. Yep. Uh, it was the first F was supposed to be forward. Yeah. Or yeah. Instead of further. Anyway, words are hard. And then we get to see Deku run through the tunnel and into the stadium and win the race. Uh, yeah. Thoughts on everything happening so far on like obstacle race, how people have been showcasing powers versus not showcasing powers, uh, and all that.
00:31:56
Speaker
I mean the fact that he got through all of that without ever using his quirk. z Awesome. Yeah. Because now we get and I mean even in the next event he only uses it once. Once. He's really like this should be more of a testament to just his strategy. Mm hmm. Then anything. He got that big brain. He got that big brain. He's got that battle sense. And I'm he's like, it was a Shigaraki Shigamaru. God damn it. You were so close. I know who Shigaraki Shigaraki is the the villain in this with the hands and everything on his face. OK, that's OK. So the names are just really close. Yeah. Gotcha. But you knew who I was going for. I did. I did. I made a Naruto reference. I'm proud of you. I was about to put it out. Let's see tomorrow. The W character from Naruto.
00:33:01
Speaker
Honestly, he's he's up there. Yeah. But yeah, I mean, he he is able to come up with a plan quickly on his feet. He's the only one that brought like they they weren't allowed to bring anything in. But he was like, fuck it. I'm here. This is here. I'm just going to take this. I have a prop now. Yeah. My baby. so But yeah, you know, so ah props to him for getting that shit together. And you know, everybody in breaking down when he got the dub. Mm hmm.
00:33:37
Speaker
awesome. He is a kid who never gets to win. Yeah, and you say never gets to win. Very much never. Growing up, Quirkless and everything, he was always looked down on by everyone and now he's gotten his chance to fucking shine on TV and also in a stadium full of people cheering for him. Like true underdog. Yeah, especially because because he did this without a Quirk or without using his Quirk, it just goes to show that he had it the whole time. Yeah, like he could have fucking done it. Yeah. All he had to do was, ah you know, shit ton of fucking strength training and he still would have come in first in ah this obstacle thing. Go to the gym and you get better. Weird. We see the actual Olympics. Nutty. yeah
00:34:28
Speaker
Good for him. Cool. All right. but yeah so Moving forward, we get introduced to the next event. They cut down from there. ah The first 42 people that finish ah'll get allowed through into the next rank. so We go from 100 down to 42. Solid. Nice cut. and Ahoyama is the last person in 42 to finish. ah Dick Lazer himself. I was going to say, I don't even remember. yeah I don't know who that is. Oh, Dick Lazer. That's all you had to say was just Dick Lazer.
00:35:05
Speaker
Hey, Ol. Yeah, he finishes last of the qualifying people, but all of class 1A makes it into it. All of class 1B makes it into it. And then we also get Mei, Hatsume, and also Shinsou from general studies as well. Father. Cool. Yes. Father. ah Daddy. ah And we get to see, you know, that they are assigned point values moving forward, ah starting at five, going up from there and then jumping from, I think, like two fifty or two fifty five to ten million. Ten million. Yeah. Cash. ah And I love the shot where everybody's eyes turn red. Yeah. And they go full silhouette, just daring during a go. And he's like, oh, oh, shit. Yeah. ah Midnight tells everyone that they're going to be forming teams for a Calvary battle where one person was going to be held up by the teammates and then either one other person, two other person, whatever it is, ah you have a combined points on a headband and you're going to be trying to protect yours while snagging others in the time limit.
00:36:27
Speaker
and it was the combined points correct yeah so i'm amazed people didn't get more strategic with their point values z like personally if i was in the lower points i would want other people with lower points so that way we're not as much of a threat and people aren't going for us but you can kind of sneak around and you know, pick off the big end. Exactly. Which is sort of what class one B does. Monoma reveals that Monoma Monoma reveals that they intentionally snubbed themselves for the race because they didn't want to show off their quirks. So that way class one A would be caught off guard going forward. And so they all placed a little bit lower, not really so much in the top intentionally.
00:37:18
Speaker
keep people guessing. So they did sort of have that as a strategy. It was it was kind of there as part of it. Yeah. Yeah. I'm excited to see more of the quirks coming out of 1B. Yeah, they've got some interesting ones over there. I'll tell you that. Nice. Yeah. But yeah, we got, ah you know, our first taste of 1B. We really only get Mona Ma. We get Tetsu Tetsu. And we get a little bit of Superaba, who is the guy who can harden air voiced by Aaron Dizmukki, or Dizmuk, I don't know, ah who is also the voice of ah Chickadee from Blue Lock and a whole bunch of other people as well.
00:38:00
Speaker
Nifty. Love Chigaty. Yeah. Oh, well, fastest fuck boy. um Yes. Pink hair don't care. Mm hmm. Slay. ah ah
00:38:17
Speaker
I don't know. I felt like it was needed. Yes, queen. Am I right? Yes. Oh, solid. but Anyway, they make up their teams. ah Deku pairs up with Uraraka and then they go to approach Eda. Eda's like, no, I finished seventh. I got to start you know looking at you as a threat. Competition and a threat. So you're my friend. I'm not like doing this maliciously, but I got to compete against you. And they're like, okay, fine.
00:38:48
Speaker
Um, so then they pair up with Mei Hatsumi, uh, instead. And also they pair up with, uh, yeah, Tokoyami. Um, I still, okay. You said it may, it will be answered at some point. I just want to know if by man's head is actually a bird head or if that's just a choice. You know what? We'll have to wait and see.
00:39:15
Speaker
God damn it. It's all good. It's all good. It's all love. Bring it back.
00:39:24
Speaker
But yeah, ah solid, solid stuff going on. um We have Todoroki with Kamenari and also Yagi Rosu aka dress code and Ida all together. I got you. all Bakugo teams up with, I think, Seto, which is the tape guy, um Mina Ashido, which is the pink girl, and also with Kamenari, the guy who hardens. And those are sort of like our main three groups. We also have, like, you know, Mineta with Sue and also ah Shoji, I think is his name.
00:40:03
Speaker
Yes. Yes. ah Whether literally just riding on his back, which is just fun. I love that. yeah Just the shots of the teepee on top. ah Hey, guys.

They have a jet booster. They have ah those same boots from before that she used to navigate across the second obstacle ah so that way they can fly up and sort of like evade and just dodge for most of it. Nice voice crack, how does it feel to be 14? It was great. It wasn't a voice crack so much as a voice strain where my voice was just like, It's still waking up. Yeah. ah Brother, it's 1130. How are you not awake? Listen, bitch. ah Listen, shout out to two episodes ago.
00:42:09
Speaker
um
00:42:12
Speaker
Anyway, um thoughts on the Calvary battle and their tactics and just letting Deku make the call and then the rest of them being like, sure, yeah, support. All right. OK, so. As previously stated, Deku good battle sense. I don't think that necessarily makes Deku good leader. Yes. Them following every single thing he said. Y'all just doing that because he's the guy in first. Yes. By the end of the event, he's not even the like the clutch one on his team. Right.
00:42:54
Speaker
Like this is not the guy whose orders we should be following. This is the guy whose plan we should listen to and then tweak it. Yes. So but I mean, this is all still sort of like meeting each other. They don't know better. Correct. yeah I mean, 100 percent. But, you know, I guess that's the the outside looking in perspective. Mm hmm. ah I'm forgetting his name and I hate myself for it. so never's kid Oh, totoroki Todoroki. Todoroki. Too many fucking names, man. ah Too many fucking names. I remember before we started this show way back in, I think it was I think it was in gate.
00:43:37
Speaker
And they did all the introductions to the other guys in the military. And you were like, that's too many people. Oh, by the way, get excited for my hero. Yep. It was like, oh, even back in fucking JJK when you're like, all of them have sound like the same thing. They're all M names. Uh huh. ah And I was like, oh, just wait. Just wait. Because this show's been on our radar for a very long, like since the beginning. Oh, yeah. Like this one. and This one was always a plan. Yeah. This one that is I was not excited for and then was. Yeah, because it's great. Well, I wasn't excited for it because it was anime.
00:44:20
Speaker
so Hey, if you you can at least say I've come a long way, you have come along. um I'm not going to say a long way, but you have come along um once you actually fully appreciate Naruto, then you will have come to long way. It's all good. but Why does she have to say come the long way? Listen, it's it's a little sus brother. You're welcome. He's milking. Fuck.
00:44:50
Speaker
But indeed. But no, the I thought the whole cavalry battle was a really cool concept because it definitely required the most teamwork. Yeah. And team works what you're going to need out in the field. I mean, even all my wouldn't have been able to fuck up. but but but but But if, you know, if Deku had not run in and like distracted and did stuff. So it it definitely is a team sport. Yeah. And you even get pro heroes that form teams to boost their popularity and stuff like that. Exactly. Like we got to see during this whole thing, working security for the event, we got to see Mount Lady, Death Arms and, oh, God, Kamui Woods. Yeah. Can we talk about Mount Lady getting the free food? Sure, we can.
00:45:44
Speaker
the That'll be dollars. Oh, no, I don't have the money on me. but Here's my tips. Yep. I mean, hey, she knows who she is. yeah Her and her and what is it midnight? Yeah. Very much Uma Thurman in, ah you know, the producers, if you got it flaunted. I never saw the producer. It's great. Highly recommend it. Very funny. I'll give it a whirl. No, I won't. But anyway, I'll watch it after Dune. Oh, God. No, watch it before Dune. You'd enjoy it more. Nice. OK. Yep. Cool. Yeah. And that's all I have to say about the cash. OK, cool.
00:46:30
Speaker
Can we talk about this for a few seconds? Absolutely. Pretty much. That's all I wanted to touch on was that team and like, I don't know, they ah death arm sitting there ripping the cigarettes during lunch. Mm hmm. You're a pro hero. You should not be smoking. Yeah. Smoking is bad for you from his ah cancer. Yeah. Yep. Anyway. um Don't be stupid, kids. Anyway. moving forward. ah Further into the cavalry battle, ah we get to see Deku and them evading people, um going

Tokoyami's Defensive Skills

00:47:05
Speaker
around. Then we get to go to Bakugo's team. At one point, he jumps off of his people propelling himself forward ah to then try to attack Deku mid-air, and then Tokiyomi brings out his
00:47:20
Speaker
Dark Shadow, which is his old bird bitch that, yeah, Bard, that is able to fend off Bakugo and send him back down. But it's OK because he never touched the ground. Exactly. Seto hit some tape out, brings him back and then they're all golden. ah Then why Seto isn't just using his tape to grab headbands? Yeah, like. You're Spider-Man. Well, I mean, like Manetta tried to throw some shit as well, like I do. Yeah, but you can't recall it. Yeah, but people can dodge. It's also tape.
00:48:00
Speaker
It's not like you don't know how strong the tape is. It's no, it's pretty like durable tape and shit, but like the speed and also that you would have to like be whipping it around and stuff in order for it to actually grab on to stuff, you know, or just shoot it accurately, I guess. Yeah, but it's tape. It's not. It's not a hand. Yeah, it's like he needs those slap hands instead. yeah but Yeah. That was pretty accurate. Thank you. Thank you. You're working on that and you're off time. Oh, there it goes again. Yeah, I know. It's great childhood. Crispy. Crispy.
00:48:46
Speaker
um
00:48:51
Speaker
Oh, why did you guys make a podcast? Oh, so we could laugh at our own jokes. Yeah, so we can be stupid. It's working. Oh, always. But yeah, so going forward in the cavalry battle, we had to see Monema appear with his group and they go up against Bakugo. They steal his band. And they're going away and it's like oh yeah no oh i should tell you i recognize you right you're from the news it must be tough always being in the role of the victim. This is the fuck out of baka go why it would never baka goes a very understanding individual he gets that it's just you know this is a friendly competition trash talk is gonna happen yet.
00:49:39
Speaker
Just, you know, kind of roll with it. Yeah. So he takes it with a grain of salt. And and he goes with it. Yeah. Yeah. And he rolls in the direction of Mona because he's like, we got to change the plan. Fuck that guy. I'm going to kill this bitch. And he straight up says I'm going to kill the entire class. Yes. Like, bro, calm down. Yeah. ah But he gets close to Monoma. We see Monoma then shoots explosion off in his face. And then he taps Kamenari's hair. And then when Bakugo goes to hit him, ah he then hardens, just like Kamenari's. We find out that he has the ability to steal people's quirks. He can have it for five minutes, but can only have one at a time. ah so What happens if he touches All Might?
00:50:33
Speaker
Excellent question. You'll have to wait and see. Wait and see. He'll touch Deku. Okay. And then, oh, he'll just explode. Nice. Wait and see. That's my prediction. That's my prediction is he can't handle it, so he just blows up. He just blows up. Nailed it. Solid. Joji kills a guy, you know. I'll start working on my next apology. Yep. Uh, but yeah, so we get to meet Monoma thoughts on him initially. He's just flock. Yeah. But having an having an antagonistic good guy is always a bizarre thing. Yes. I mean, I guess. Kara, but I still don't think he's a good guy. I mean, he's murdering people. OK, that doesn't necessarily make him a bad guy.
00:51:24
Speaker
Yeah, like he's still there at the shooting exams as opposed to going off and being a villain. You know what? We'll see what you think in the next clump. Oh, I'm 100 percent sure he's going to be a bad guy. wellll We'll see what you think about it. Oh,
00:51:46
Speaker
solid. But yeah, this dude, fuck that guy. Mm hmm. Mona, what a guy. Oh, Yeah. He is, uh, he's fun. He's an interesting character. Um, we'll get more of him as well as it goes on. Uh, because you know what? He doesn't go away. Uh, he is constantly just there being modified in Haiti class 1A and it's great. Uh, but yeah. We get to go from that. Bakugo brute forces his way over towards him ah because Chigetty starts making some hard error. And Bakugo is like, I can get through this and just fucking breaks it open and takes the fucking headbands back. He's like, man, bitch. And as that's happening, Todoroki's team traps Deku's team.
00:52:40
Speaker
As they have him like super close, then Iida does his like special move, Recipro Burst, and he is able to snag the ah headbands off of Deku. and you know They are now in the lead, and Deku's team has zero. They make a plan to then go and attack them. Iida's engines have stalled out, ah and Deku uses his One for all. There you go. Yep. Nailed it. Uses his one for all in his arm to make an air current to move away Todoroki's arm in order to. His firearm. His firearm ah using his right side, um which is so a left side. Fuck his left. You make you make the L's if you need to. Thank you. I couldn't. I just couldn't remember. all
00:53:37
Speaker
But yeah, he ah goes in and, ah you know, makes it that way. His arm moves to the side so he can try to grab at the thing. But he misses big, sad as Todoroki ignites his arm. We get to see a shot of endeavor in the cloud cloud. Jesus, the clouds. It's not dead. Yeah, yeahp he's looking down for from above my father. That's Oh, father.
00:54:08
Speaker
um Anyway, we get to see Endeavor being like, oh he's doing it, my boy, my son um type thing. My boy, my boy, my son. But in a happier way, ah sort of.
00:54:27
Speaker
and Yeah, Deku, um he still misses. Big sad. ah So they get away and then they go to rush in again. Bakugo's thing joins the fray and um they all are going towards Todoroki to try to get the points back. And i get decco decco has like that what seventy five yeah whatever so they're not like out of it out of it but ah he always like oh shit i didn't get the ten million we're not gonna make it and so they go back for more ten seconds remaining yeah and they they do not make it in time and the thing ends.
00:55:08
Speaker
And Deku's like, fuck, I fucked it up. I'm sorry, guys. Isn't he crying? Weird. Weird that he would do that. And then in we found out that Tokoyami had Dark Shadow steal some stuff as well off of Todoroki's forehead while he was distracted and ah they got enough to place in the top four teams. yay Hey, yeah, our protagonist continuing on. Yeah, clutch. Yeah. Well, I come in weird thoughts on the rest of the cavalry battle and like ah Todoroki using his flame side and him being like, I shouldn't use that. That that gives him gratification. The.
00:55:53
Speaker
I can't remember. i Once again, names, huh? Armin. Tokoyami. Yeah, with the the dark shadow. Uh huh. I that's fucking awesome. Yeah, I love that. I'm so excited for more of that, especially after he talked about the like during the day and during the night and how it how it's more of a defensive thing. during the day and at night, he can't even fully control it. I'm like, dude, fucking killer. Let's go. Tokyo is a great character. I enjoy him a lot. Oh, fucking cool. And yeah, just that whole ah him using the the all for one easy just to swipe the air. Yeah. And it hurt him, but it didn't break anything. Yeah.
00:56:49
Speaker
Which is we're getting better, young Midoriya. We're getting better. Yeah, because we also found out from all my I think before everything started ah that he's like, if I had to estimate, you could probably use like 5 percent of my power right now, which is saying something after some of the stuff he's done. Right. Like imagine if he used, I don't know, 20 percent is to flick the baseball. It'd be crazy. That ship went on through the moon! That ship went on through the moon! That ship went on through the moon! That ship went on through the moon! That ship went on through the moon! That ship went on through the moon! That ship went on through the moon! That ship went on through the moon! That ship Yeah. went on Just to know what some people can do. Hey, you through the moon! know what? You gotta do what you gotta do. You do. What do you think this next episode cluster's gonna be? One-on-one battles. Yeah, where you're learning where people can do what they can do.
00:57:57
Speaker
But we already have a general sense of what they can do. Oh, for some people. Yeah. on On a few of them. Yeah. Like I get this. I get that. Not everybody. We don't know everybody's like the first battle coming up. You've got to sprinkle some shit in there. Make sure it's all good. Yeah. It can't just be filler battles. Yeah. All.
00:58:21
Speaker
But yeah. Nifty. Very cool. We got a little bit of downtime in between the second and third stage, which is going to be, as we just said, one-on-one battles. We get to see that Deku is paired up with Shinso, the purple guy. Seto is versus Todoroki next. So if Deku wins or if Shinso wins, then they can potentially go up against either Todoroki or Seto. We see Uraraka and Bakugou are paired up. Ita and Hatsume are paired up. I think
00:58:53
Speaker
Kamenari is ah paired up with Vine, who is a person who gets let in because people step down. We had Ojiro, the guy, Jean Kirstein. Oh, he backed out? He backed out because he's like, I don't have any recollection of the Calvary fight and how stuff happened and how I got to be here so I don't feel good moving forward. He was on a team with Shinzo and he thinks that Shinzo had something to do with it. ah So he sets down, ah some other people step down and then Tetsu Tetsu Tetsu Tetsu gets into
00:59:33
Speaker
the final thing. So we had to see more of it. Tommy, uh, he is right. Commonari who has essentially the same quirk, uh, which is fun. And then also vine, who is a girl with the green hair is also allowed in as well. Um, poison Ivy. Yeah, because, uh, they were going to choose some other people. And then, uh, the girl with the orange hair is like, no, I didn't like, you should give it to the people who are fighting the entire time, not my team. Uh, that was next in points. And so that's why they give it to vine girl. We also find out orange haired girl is named Kendo. We'll get more of her in the future, but his voice by Chad Saxton, ah who is also George Glooman from my family.
01:00:19
Speaker
Yeah, not Glooman Glooman. Oh, my God. I told you he'd return. That is insane. What good character revelations i've had in this episode yeah and don't worry we still got another big one i should try to get endeavor yeah um but yes we get to see that happen. um And we get ah a lot of you know pairings up that are going to happen and i'm excited for us to see them all go on ah we yeah yeah also should as well. We also got before all of this we got the ah tunnel talk. was that Before or after that would i think that was both before i thought it was before this is why they were resting.
01:01:12
Speaker
Yeah. So, yeah, we we got the tunnel talk between Todoroki and Deku and Deku. And then Baka goes just creeping around the corner and he's dropping the entire time. But the greatest prediction very Todoroki had like a you prediction where he was like, you have sort of the same powers of all might. Are you his like secret love child or something? It was a very me prediction.
01:01:41
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Just Todoroki being like, hey, man, just so you know, I'm going to beat you. My destiny is to beat you. Yeah, I need to make father proud of me. No opposite. No, it was. i Yeah, I was. I need to show up father. Yeah, he's like, I want to go far and I want to become a hero, not using my flames, just my ice to just fight my father. Yeah. Yeah. We learn about the whole like.

Todoroki's Family History

01:02:11
Speaker
I forgot what they called it. It was like a breeding program. Yeah. Where it's like you specifically have two people have a child so you can get a stronger quirk through the generations by pairing their quirks together. So he purchased his wife. Yeah. Weird. Don't like that. Odd. And then we also find out why he has the scar on his face.
01:02:39
Speaker
Oh, that's right. His mom dumped boiling water on him. Yeah, because he couldn't look at he at Todoroki and not think of endeavor. So you go here. Yeah, Zuko here. Oh, and so she freaked out and dumps a whole thing of boiling water on his face, causing it to scar sad. Very. That's not ah how to be a mother. I don't know how to be a mother, but I know it ain't that more on Todoroki and that family dynamic in the future, ah but initial thoughts on it. I want I want more.
01:03:18
Speaker
Yeah, I need I need more. Not that I want more. I need more. Hell yeah. But yeah, he is like, I'm going to beat you. It's going to be fine. And then Deku's like, I'm also going to go all out. So don't hold back. Like I am also like I have something to prove as well. I have people that I need to make proud of me that have been helping me that I need to do this for because I've only gotten this far because of help. Yes. ah So very different dynamics, ah but very fun characters, enjoying it. While that is happening, All Might and also Endeavor have a conversation with each other, ah which is really how we find out that ah he made Todoroki because he just openly admits it to All Might.
01:04:08
Speaker
I like that's why i created him to be your successor and to be you so that's nifty anyway endeavor voice by patrick sites give me a show. I'll give you ah three, Attack on Titan, Naruto, and also King of Thorn. He was in all of them? All three. Oh, fuck me. He's the mercenary guy. Yeah, he is. He is Marco Owens from King of Thorn. All right. um Knowing that, we've also touched on it ah when we watched King of Thorn. ah He is also Commandant Shaddis.
01:04:46
Speaker
He shot us. Yep. And also in Naruto, you sort of seen him. He hasn't really spoken that much yet, but the owner of the ramen shop, the guy, the dad. Oh, he is him. Oh, yeah. ah Wait, do we have him on the poster? No, we do not. It's Neil Kaplan who I'm thinking of. OK. Yes. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Who was, uh, McGaff. Mm hmm. Yeah. I wish I was OK. Yes. Nifty. Yeah. So that's fine. Last voice actor thingy for now. Yep. For now. Until we get, you know, another episode or two. So many. So many. And I love it. Oh, my God. You know, it's even worse. Mm hmm.
01:05:38
Speaker
Every show we watch after this, it's going to be, you know, him, you know, him, you know, him, you know, her, you know who she is, you know, him, you know her. Yeah, because these people are in every once in a goddamn hero. Hell yeah. Um, yeah. Like if we ever do Black Clover in the future as well, that's another one where it's like, oh, yeah. All these people just connecting the dots like if you had a red yarn board, ah it would just be just completely full. Oh, God. Awesome. Hell to the year.
01:06:11
Speaker
Oh, yes. Yeah. So moving forward, we get to see Ojiro sort of butt in when Deku and Shinsou start to

Shinsou's Quirk Warning

01:06:21
Speaker
talk. Shinsou is like, Midoriya, so you're you. You seem strong. I'll be interested to fight you. Sucks about your other friends though. And then Deku goes to say something and Ojiro covers his mouth with his tail and he is like, hold up. I gotta tell you something about him is like I remember talking to him and then I blacked out so Don't talk to him. Yeah, so I don't know what his quirk is but that so they sort of prep and they're starting to think and then we get to see the beginning of Their fight with Deku running forward where Shinzo is talking shit about some other people Deku
01:07:02
Speaker
bottles against it and then runs forward and then we see a little flash happen and then the episode ends. I want to watch it now. I want to get working. Watching the show. Yeah, it's good.
