Introduction: Weeb Along Podcast

00:00:04
Speaker
Welcome to Weeb Along. 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. Hello, everybody. Welcome back to Weeb Along. My name is Nelson. Here with me is John. Hello, that's me. It is you and we're very happy to have you here.

Gate Episodes 13-15: Season Two Overview

00:00:29
Speaker
I see how we're continuing our watch through of gate. We did episodes 13, 14 and 15 this week. A fun time. They were maybe a little bit filler, but it was our opening to season two. Yes, it was. It was an interesting opening. It definitely was. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:00:53
Speaker
We get to meet some new people. We get a new mission. Yep, yep, yep, yep. You know, it makes for it makes for. Probably an action packed season two. I am excited to get to that part.
00:01:10
Speaker
Yeah, we will. We will get there, I promise. Yeah, we got a little bit action in this, but like not a lot. Yeah, we got a we had that big demonstration in the first episode, and that was kind of it. Yeah, we really get it was a lot of diplomacy stuff going on. Yes, yes. But yeah, I guess anyway, let's hop right into.

Party in Japan: New Characters and Missions

00:01:38
Speaker
Episode 13. In episode 13, we have Japan hosting a party for all the big delegates from the special region. We meet Prince Zorzal, and then we have Yao and Tami getting ready for their mission, and then the Earth begins to rumble. So yeah, I guess anyway, we'll head back to the beginning of the episode.
00:02:06
Speaker
Mm hmm. A very good place to start. Indeed. So the episode opens up with Tommy being dressed in quite possibly the dumbest outfit known to man. He is being roasted by his platoon. They're really doing their best not to be mean. And then a small child comes up to him and goes, look, mom, it's the biggest dork in the universe.
00:02:34
Speaker
Which I'm glad that dork has transcended dimensions.
00:02:40
Speaker
Yes, I like to think he didn't learn that from the Japanese from the soldiers that are stationed there. Yeah. But instead he's like, no, this is this is a very popular word and we're just going to run with it. It's like when you teach a toddler like a swear word just to hear them or like, you know, when they mispronounce like fire truck. And then they just say fuck. Yeah. And you have to do your best not to encourage it.
00:03:07
Speaker
I mean, but do you have to do your best not to encourage it? I don't know. Brother could be fine. When you have a kid. Yeah, I'm going to teach it to swear. You won't have to.
00:03:27
Speaker
Yeah, they're going to hear us recording and be like, Oh, boy. Yeah. The fuck is going on in there, dad? What was your kid's first word? Oh, no. Oh, yes. Hey, it could be worse. He's milking. Yeah, no, it could be worse. Oh, it could be it could be much worse.
00:03:49
Speaker
Mm hmm.

Japan's Military Power: Impressing Senators

00:03:51
Speaker
But anyway, yeah, we get Tommy getting prepped to go and have a meeting with all the important senators in the special region. So while the garden party is happening, we have Tommy taking all of the heads of the household out to a field and kind of they got to have a demonstration of power.
00:04:14
Speaker
Yeah, we get to see a Tommy sort of be, you know, Tony Stark from the Jericho missile. Yeah. Yeah, they all the senators, while, you know, the the rifles are going off, they start launching mortars. I think one of the jets flies by.
00:04:35
Speaker
And all of the senators look at each other and they're like, yeah, we cannot. We cannot go to war with Japan. It would be over very quickly. They just look at this family of pretty much. And we have Sugawaru is there and, you know, he's got his friendly diplomatic demeanor. Uh huh. And he goes over to talk to.
00:04:59
Speaker
like Lord Cicero and everybody. And he's like, friends, how are you? And Cicero's like, cut the bullshit. Like, what do we got to do to not get nuked? Yeah. What can we avoid doing so that you don't come into our houses with a spec ops team at two in the morning? Yeah. Like, I enjoy living. How do you make this continue? But from there,
00:05:26
Speaker
We have our cut over.

Introducing Prince Zorzal: Arrogance Described

00:05:28
Speaker
We are introduced to Prince Zorzal and his aide Marcus comes in and is like, hey, man, just so you know, there's a whole party going on right now that you were not invited to. What what did you what did you think about Marcus when we met him? Oh, Marcus is.
00:05:52
Speaker
There I don't like how nonchalant he is with the behavior of the prince. Um, yeah. Yeah, that's he's kind of the was a grim a worm tongue from Lord of the Rings. Yeah, I feel like he's just there to whisper bad shit into your ear. Yes. They're talking shit about you pretty much. Yeah, the door.
00:06:22
Speaker
Well, the you saw birds of prey, right? Yes. Yeah. It's like when they're in the club and the dude just leans over to you and McGregor and he's like, they're laughing at you. You need to go teach them a lesson. They're laughing at you. Yeah. Your fragile ego is at risk. And Zorzal has that for sure. Oh, yeah. Yeah, he's he's such a fucking scrub. Yes. And we'll learn way more about that in episode 14 when we get there. Yes.
00:06:51
Speaker
But yeah, so Zorzal all pissed off is like, well, if they're going to have a party, then as a prince, that's the party I need to be at. So let's go. And we cut back over to Atami with a scout running up to him like, hey, man, there is a whole group of people on horseback coming up. So we need to fucking do something because this could get really bad really quick.

Itami's Tactical Move: Hiding Senators

00:07:19
Speaker
And it Tommy actually does his job fairly well. Yeah, he does. Yeah, he takes all the senators, puts them into a Humvee and goes, all right, get you back to the Capitol, but we're going to drive you through the slums because nobody is going to look for you there. Right. Because nothing is as inconspicuous as a Humvee going through a medieval town, even through the slums. Yeah, but they're there all the time.
00:07:48
Speaker
Yeah. So they wouldn't assume that we're putting, you know, you're not putting the president like in his limo driving through a bad city.
00:08:04
Speaker
What that city were you thinking? I had a couple. I know Detroit. Detroit's gotten better over the years. Yeah, it's got a lot of shit. It's not fully Gotham anymore, right? No, it's it's a lot better. Heard Batman is no longer he can hang up his cape. Oh.
00:08:25
Speaker
He needs to hang up his cape, but Bruce Wayne still has a little bit to do. Heard. OK, that's that's the best way I can put it. But yeah, the. All the weapons get covered up and Zorzal arrives at the garden party with his entourage, who will definitely see again.
00:08:52
Speaker
and goes over and talks to Pina and is like, I heard that you were having important military discussion. And she's like, dude, it's a Sunday afternoon. We're having tea and biscuits. I have him brunch. Yeah. And he's like, well, that's I don't believe you. The Japanese were here and she was well, yeah, they're always here. They brought their chef here. You should try this thing. I don't remember what the thing was. All I know is had mustard on it.
00:09:20
Speaker
Yeah. And he was like, oh, yellow, how unappetizing. And then he rides away with a plate full of them because sometimes that shit just hits. Yeah, I hate him, though. Oh, 100 percent. Well, we hate him. Your exact opinion was I hate him.
00:09:40
Speaker
You hate him. I hate him so much. Good answer. I'm really glad to see that hasn't changed. No, you know, I stand by that. I stand by that. I stand by that. How much sleep did you get last night? Exactly. Oh, no. Oh, no. OK, well.
00:10:03
Speaker
Continuing on, sleepy boy, we cut back to on this hill. Yes. No, it's not on this hill. No, I forgot we've actually set up a base in the capital city. Well, I forgot about that. Yeah, they're expanding. The Japanese are expanding. Yep. We're at Akusho. Uh huh. I guess which is the red light district. Yeah. Oh, it's saucy.
00:10:32
Speaker
Very. And while we're there, we have Kurokawa. The medic for the group is interacting with all the locals. She's kind of treating anything that they might have an ailment with.
00:10:44
Speaker
Yeah, she has lines. She has. She does. She does. She doesn't get that very often. And it's when she does, it's normally just like a like a grunt of approval or like a half cocked smile. But while we are there, we have what's the best way a lady of the night.
00:11:08
Speaker
Yeah, I guess it comes and sees Kurokawa and is like, oh, yeah, you know what I'm here for. And she gives her, I think, birth control. Yes, is what it

Flashback: JSDF vs Crime Lord

00:11:20
Speaker
was. Yeah, I think it was I think it was plan B. But she's like, oh, yeah, this will, you know, this will definitely help my work. Thank you so much. They kind of have this nice little rapport.
00:11:33
Speaker
And Kureka was like, you know, is it even safe for you? And she's like, oh, yeah, you guys came in and took out like the crime lord who owns me and the rest of the girls. And we get this nice little get back. Yeah, we get this nice little flashback of the JSDF going in and just destroying an entire gang under the cover of night in the middle of the streets. Hell, yeah. I was like, you know what?
00:12:01
Speaker
Let's go. Fuck. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Now we cut over back to on this hill where our good friend. Yeah. Shut up. Is. Kind of learning who is important.
00:12:26
Speaker
to a Tommy. Yes, so that she can. What's the word? Manipulate. Yes. Manipulate Tommy into going out and killing the flame dragon for her, because she's like, well, if I put his friends in danger, then he'll have no choice but to go out and help me. Exactly.
00:12:45
Speaker
because that's what a sane person would do. Yep. Well, I say, yeah, it doesn't seem the same. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, not even close. She got that one one track mind. She's only after one thing. And boys, I'll tell you, it's disgusting.
00:13:08
Speaker
What the fuck? I don't know. So how many give me give me the honest answer. How many hours of sleep did you get? Probably like four. That's pretty good for you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Nice. Mm hmm.
00:13:24
Speaker
So we have back at Akusho, the prostitute from earlier shows back up with a whole bunch of like the animal hybrid people, the furries, the furries, and they are going nuts.
00:13:42
Speaker
As you're twitching and you know, everything is just kind of bad vibes with them. Yep. And Kurokawa realizes she's like, Oh, wait a minute. Animals react like this back home before an earthquake. I need to let some people know. And it is confirmed at all in this hill that an earthquake is coming. Everything over there is freaking out as well. And they start to evacuate some people.
00:14:10
Speaker
from buildings that are issues? Yeah, not as structurally sound. I think that's the end of the episode. I think the earthquake is in the next one. Pretty much,

Earthquake Experience: Fiction vs Reality

00:14:21
Speaker
yeah. Nice. That brings us to the next episode, John. You want to take it away? Yeah. Episode 14. In this episode, we get to see the differences really between both sides of
00:14:35
Speaker
the gate. We get to see Japan being sort of evolved from the medieval times, both in technology and also just ideology as well. And we get to see where their priorities really lie on both sides in between the Japanese forces and also the people on the other side. In the
00:15:01
Speaker
Got a. Which we refer to as. The gatiens. The special region. Yeah, the gatiens, the gatiens. I hate you. If I ever tell you that. Yes. OK. Well, I figured you might want to hear it again. I hate you. But it's always good to, you know, have reminders. Of course. Yeah. It's my love language is fucking despising you.
00:15:27
Speaker
Yes, it's a good love language you have. I encourage as many people to embrace this. Disrespect your homies, but let them know they're your homies. Exactly, exactly. This is the way.
00:15:44
Speaker
Uh, fuck you. I hate you. Love you, man. Um, and there we are. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, this is the way. Uh, but yeah, episode 14 opens up. We have the earthquake going. People are freaking the fuck out. Uh, except for, you know, the people from Japan. Cause they're like, this is fucking every day, bruh. And, uh, as everyone's freaking out, Pini Colada is even looking at it, Tommy like,
00:16:13
Speaker
Why aren't you freaking out? The ground is shaking. The fuck? Uh, and Tommy's like, thank you. Thank you. Uh, I just tried to channel Sakura and then I let it go from there. Um, uh, the earthquake ends. Uh, and she sort of looks up and he was like, yeah, that's a,
00:16:38
Speaker
as an earthquake and she's like well I'm glad that it's done now and he's like well I mean hold on there's these things called aftershocks and it's gonna happen again in a little bit and then she's like you fucking kidding me and then she's like I need to tell the capital I need to tell these people and then she starts going up and doing stuff but she also seems like she you know
00:17:03
Speaker
looking up towards a Tommy is like giving him almost like eyes and stuff. And yeah, very, very much eyes. Yeah. Now, here's something I want to point out. OK. To you to kind of give you a reference. Yes. I believe in the episode that Tommy's like, yeah, this is like a four point five or maybe even a five point. Oh, yep. You and I have been in an earthquake. Yes.
00:17:32
Speaker
Back in 2011, we had that earthquake. Mm hmm. Do you think the one in the show was stronger or weaker? So about that earthquake.
00:17:45
Speaker
You weren't even there, were you? No, I was. Oh, however, so it happened midday and I remember I was driving with my mom and we were going going to the store. I think we're going to like a Michaels and we were going up over this bridge and we are on the bridge over top of ninety five.
00:18:13
Speaker
And which is for people who don't know a massive highway super just major highway coast and so we're going up and over this bridge and everything and we're in the middle of the bridge. And there's a little bit of traffic and so we feel like a little like bouncing and then we were both like.
00:18:33
Speaker
Oh, must've been like a large truck. Ooh, earthquake. Oh, like as a joke. And then we get to Michael's and then we see that like picture frames and stuff had like fallen off the shelves and we're like, shoot her on the ground. And we're like, wow, somebody really made a fucking mess of this. And then we got back in the car and then she turned on the radio and they're like, yeah, so that was an earthquake. And it was like, oh, shit.
00:18:57
Speaker
Yeah. OK, now hold on. Now you've got to get mine. Now you got to know where I was during the great earthquake of 2011. Yeah. I was in my basement as I do. I was playing Call of Duty Black Ops on the Wii. Mm hmm. I was on a solid kill streak. It was like 2025. That shit was minty. And then I died. And me being me, I raged.
00:19:24
Speaker
Yeah, I took my controller and I threw it on the ground and then I watched as my controller went and vibrated across the floor. And I was so concerned that I broke my controller that I did not realize it was an earthquake happening peak. Yeah.
00:19:45
Speaker
Gamer rage saves the day. Yep. Gamers cause earthquakes. Heard. I did that by throwing a controller at the ground. So I apologize to Northern Virginia and the Washington Monument, which was damaged by the earthquake.
00:20:00
Speaker
Yeah, I think that that was the only thing. I just remember seeing a ton of memes that was like we survived. Yeah. Yeah. And I was like, we will rebuild. That was so damn funny. What happened? So do you think stronger or weaker? I was going to say stronger. So the one in the show.
00:20:25
Speaker
was, like I said, 4.5 or 5.0, according to a Tommy. Yes. The one that hit you and me was a 5.8. Oh, shit. And yeah, they have a bunch of bitches. A bunch of bitches. But I guess that makes sense why, you know, the Japanese were walking around like this and not very casually. Yeah. So I like to think that it was more from the perspective of the
00:20:55
Speaker
The Gaetians. Yes. Who, you know, everything was going to shit. Yeah, I had no idea why the ground was shaking. Yeah, because they've never had what they just referred to as what was an earth earth tremor. Yeah, I think so. They were freaking the fuck out. Mm hmm. But it wasn't a big deal.
00:21:21
Speaker
No, it really wasn't. But of course, you know, Pina Colada is freaked the fuck out. But then when she hears that there's more, she springs into action and starts commanding people. Look, she's helping. Yeah, she gets very bossy, just like Sakura. Yep.
00:21:41
Speaker
But anyway, they show up to the king. We have to see King Fritz again. It's been a minute and he is in there, Kalata is talking and they're sort of like, hey, go do this, go do that. And then he looks at her and is like, wow, you've grown up and grown into yourself and a woman. And then she's like, fuck yeah, I did. And then as her having like this nice moment,
00:22:06
Speaker
Who should arrive but Itame? And Itame is talking with them a little bit. And then who else should arrive but fucking... Dickwad. What's his name? I don't think I wrote it down. Zorzal. Zorgon, heard. Fuck! Yep.
00:22:29
Speaker
Zorgon shows up and is being a dick to the Japanese because he's like, the fuck are you guys doing here? This is not your place. And he starts talking shit. Time out. Time out, brother. Yes, brother. Would you like to play a game? Let's play the game. You, as of now,
00:22:54
Speaker
No Zorzal. I'm a guest from Vinland Saga because I've started that. Correct. Wow. I can be a real asshole about this because he was only in one episode.
00:23:07
Speaker
Oh, God. It might not even be an episode that I've seen. How far have you seen? I have seen up to episode 14. So that includes episode 14? No. Well, never mind then. We're not going to play this game.
00:23:27
Speaker
Well, when you finally do watch episode 14, he plays Anne's father. Anne's father heard. OK. The actor's name is Craig Daly. OK. Which seems really familiar to me, but he hasn't been. It's just one of those names. It's got to be.
00:23:44
Speaker
Yeah, Craig Daly sounds like, you know, one of those people that you're going to hear is like he's on every soccer team as the one guy who's yelling at the ref who's in middle school, making them feel like a child and an asshole for missing a call on this. That's that. That sounds like it's personal experience, buddy. Never. Oh, that is the memory or the feelings that it evokes for me when I hear Craig Daly.
00:24:15
Speaker
So this just in, Craig Daly, asshole. Mm hmm. Correct. I'm sure he's a very nice guy. I'm sure he's a very nice guy. His character, however, is a fucking piece of shit. Oh, terrible person. Yes. He would. Yeah, no. But anyway, they start talking and then they start, you know, going on about how they have.
00:24:42
Speaker
captives and stuff like that and it turns out that they Abducted some people when they initially breached through the gate. They took some Japanese people back to the gati inside of it and
00:25:00
Speaker
I have been holding them captive slash hostage ever since. And we find out that they have not been treated very nicely at all. They've been raped and they've been taken advantage of, they've been eaten, enslaved. And when they bring out the person from Japan, Noriko, they refer to her as they're like, oh, yeah, this is one of the survivors. Yeah.
00:25:32
Speaker
Yeah, that doesn't go over well. No, it Tommy runs up to him and just fucking clocks him in the face, which we stand it Tommy. Good job, Tommy. Very well for all his shortcomings as like the lieutenant. Yep, he's a good dude. Yeah, no, for that, I will 100 percent pronounce his name correctly. What is it? Huh? What's his name? Who?
00:26:01
Speaker
The guy who punched Zorzal, what's his name? What? Fuck you. Where? The what? Huh? With who?
00:26:13
Speaker
Um, but yeah, punches, uh, Zorgund in the fucking face and, uh, he goes over and is like, Oh shit, look at this girl. She's not doing great. Can't believe that you fucking did that. Uh, and finds out that there's more quote unquote survivors. Uh,
00:26:36
Speaker
And then fucking Zorgon decides to be like, you cannot punch a royal person and not be seen as an act of aggression or war. So men fucking take him out. And so we see these people brandish. Why was that just an impression of Anya when she's trying to make a point? Because I'm secretly Anya's voice actor. What? Plot twist.
00:27:06
Speaker
We could have played that game so long ago and you chose not to. Exactly. Never did. That's rude. That's so rude. Listen, you got to keep something up your sleeve. You got to keep them guessing. Never let them know your next move. Never ever. Never give up. Never what? Never back down. Never back down. Never way. What is that from?
00:27:34
Speaker
I know we've talked about it before. Yeah, we have. It's some guy who streams Fortnite on Twitch but it became a TikTok sound and that is how.
00:27:47
Speaker
Yeah, that'll do it. You know, penetrated my brain. Oh, penetrated. Oh, oh, but speaking of penetrated. Yeah. Good segue. Good segue. Yep. Speaking of penetrated, they go to penetrate it. Tommy with their swords and spears and shields. And he's like, are you going to fucking do this? And then he looks at korobayashi and also the priest dude who's there, who still doesn't fucking do shit.
00:28:17
Speaker
Uh, and he does stuff all the time. What? What? So there was that one. What? What? Yeah. And he. Yeah. Uh huh. The people. Are you going through it? Don't you remember that? No. Really? Yeah. That's genuinely surprising to me.
00:28:38
Speaker
Yeah.

Priest Character's Role: Passive Observer?

00:28:40
Speaker
Shocker. Who could have thunk it? Weird. I thought I had something and then I didn't. And then you realized you had nothing. I had no ground to stand on. But the show did a good job of making you think that he did something. He shot a horse that one time.
00:28:58
Speaker
Oh, perfect. He shot that one horse. What an accolade. All right. Um. Cool. The fuck. He didn't even do anything in like the the battle of Metallica, you know, by. I mean, he did. I think he shot a couple people. No. Did he not? No. Oh.
00:29:27
Speaker
Yep. Uh, because, uh, Kurobayashi, Itame, and, uh, fucking, uh, Kurokawa. Yeah, Kurama. Um, all getting the Humvee to go after Rory. And that is, uh, everyone else is just behind and forgotten about.
00:29:46
Speaker
Had to write. Most of this man has done. Has shot a horse. Oh, has shot a horse and then like get semi flirty with the one like Pina Colada's friend. And that is Moses. Yeah, and that is entirely it.
00:30:08
Speaker
Yeah, OK, yeah, I back down. Correct. But anyway, they continue this trend and they both get their weapons free to then light them up and proceed to let Kurubayashi do everything. It's her favorite thing to do. Yeah, she loves to kill people. No, but I remember watching this and I was like, all right, they're both going to do something.
00:30:34
Speaker
And then it was just curved by Ashi. I was like, what the fuck is this bitch doing? OK, so she put on the bayonet. Yeah, which means she's going close quarters. He as a good soldier cannot shoot into a crowd that contains his own people. All right. But she opened fired on them through the shields and stuff prior to putting on the bayonet and rushing it.
00:30:59
Speaker
Look, man, I'm just trying to help him out. All right. I know you are, but it's not working. Stop it. Except the feet. Oh, you know, be like, except defeat. Yeah, I will find you on feet finder as you accept these defeat. Oh.
00:31:20
Speaker
Whoo hoo. Shout out to Feet Finder. Shout out to Feet Finder. This week on We Belong is brought to you by Feet Finder. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. We can't do that. We can't say that. It is totally awesome. I have to cut that. God damn it. Why? Because I don't think we're allowed to fake sponsorships, especially when we actually have a sponsor in the episode. We're allowed to. OK. Yeah. Yeah. Totally awesome.
00:31:48
Speaker
But yeah, we get to see them fuck up the the gatians. Kiribayashi is, you know, fucking shit up. Marking them left and right. And then waifu indeed. She kills all of his men and then leaves a couple that are still standing and then goes over to what is her name, Noriko, and is like, hey, you're safe now. You're good. Don't worry about it. We got your feet all in hand.
00:32:17
Speaker
Yeah, from the motherland. And so gets her sit up and starts walking her back over to Otami. And then fucking Zorgon is like, eh, fuck you again. And he's like, oh, she's awful, not even a great warrior or anything like that. And then they square up and then she uppercons him.
00:32:45
Speaker
Little girl, little girl. And yeah, he just fucking straight up down. She puts on like motorcycle gloves. Yeah. Which have the the knuckle protection. Yes. She didn't feel a thing other than joy. Uh huh.
00:33:06
Speaker
He felt that and the feeling of him falling down going boom bouncing off the concrete Mm-hmm as it should knock some sense into that bitch do it. Oh beautiful
00:33:20
Speaker
Yep. Uh, but yeah, that happens. And then fucking rabbit bitch, who definitely has some other alternative motives and shit going on steps in and is like, please don't. He was just trying his best. And then her name is tool tool heard. T H U U L T H U U L.

Thule's Manipulation: Revenge Plot

00:33:49
Speaker
Thule.
00:33:51
Speaker
Thule? Thule. Thule. Thule. And Noah Theal. That's from something. I don't know what it is. That is from nadpod. Is it? Ayyyy. That is. It was like, I know there's some connection to something, but I have no idea what it is. I'm still gonna say it anyway. The Noah Theal is the thinking cap.
00:34:16
Speaker
Oh, there we are. Hell yeah. Can you tell I've listened to it like six times? Yes. But yeah, cool. We get to see that and they're like, wow, that was a big display of strength. And then they're like,
00:34:33
Speaker
But also, it's a sign of weakness. You care more about your people, and that opens you up for, uh, weakness. Yeah. And King Fritz is, you know, babbling around, but I'm like, King Fritz, get fucking nuked. I mean, my guy. Yeah, you're going to lose this. If you try something, it is not going to go well.
00:34:55
Speaker
Exactly. And speaking of nukes, we get to see the bombing of the old Senate building as well. And then not even the old. It's the current Senate building. Oh, well, then, yeah, get fucked, my guy. Yeah, they just they just waited until everybody was out of it and they bombed the shit out of it. Yep.
00:35:12
Speaker
uh and then the senate gathers and uh fucking zorgon is there and uh he shows up and he's like fuck y'all and claud is like hey fuck you um and he wants to very much go to war with these fucking bitches um
00:35:36
Speaker
But they keep on being like, Oh, no, no, because he made a lot is like, hey, that is stupid. Fucking don't. Because they have we get introduced to their other brother. Yes. Other brother named named and other brother is a bit of a dick also.
00:36:01
Speaker
Diablo Diablo Diablo or enters the mix. The amount of times I think I slam my head into the back of this chair when you speak. Listen, the jokes are just right there. They're not complicated. They're not smart. They're just they're not good. Exactly.
00:36:22
Speaker
It's nice. But yeah, Diablo 4 starts talking to him and he's like, hey, I'll be next in line. And then he's like, no, no, no, you're not next in line. I'm next in line. He's like, the fuck you mean you're next in line.
00:36:37
Speaker
And I'm next in line. It's like, no, no, no, I'm next in line. You can go fuck yourself. Because honestly, who's going to give it to you? Who's going to be a strong willed person who can take over and make good decisions or is it going to be me who he knows that he can control and like as certain tendencies? So since I'm a fuck boy, I'm going to get the next one. So fuck you, you bitch. I'm going to be the next assessor. It also makes sense, though, that it would be Zorzal because he is the oldest. He's also a bitch. He's a bitch, but he's the oldest.
00:37:07
Speaker
Yeah, so isn't the oldest typically the next in line? Isn't the oldest typically a bitch? Oh, yeah, you're not the oldest. I was going to I was going to call you on it, but yeah, neither neither am I. So.
00:37:23
Speaker
Oh, my my oldest is not a bitch. She's wonderful. Heard. You know, I think she listens to this. So my my my brother is also not a bitch. But Zorgon, that's all. But Zorgon, definitely a bitch. Definitely a bitch. Yeah. Yeah. Textbook. 10 out of 10, bitch. 10 out of 10 definitely has like a burn book and everything like that. Oh, my God. You're right. Uh-huh. 100 percent. He does. So stupid.
00:37:52
Speaker
But yeah, let's see. That happened. And then the rabbit girl comes back up. We get to see Noah Theole pop back up. And she starts talking to him and is like, oh, yes, you're going to be the next in line. And then starts sort of
00:38:12
Speaker
trying to come on to him and initiate some stuff which ends the conversation between brothers because Oregon gets preoccupied and uh yeah you can see her trying to work and you know do some stuff it's very much you haven't seen Dune yet have you? Nope. Fucking A. I know I need to watch it I know I just I it's so hard for me to sit there for three hours and watch a movie
00:38:39
Speaker
There's there's a part. Have you not seen like Lord of the Rings? Have you not seen Avengers? OK, OK. I've seen Lord of the Rings. I have seen Endgame. But I saw Endgame in theaters. Yeah. So if for some reason that makes it easier, like I went and saw
00:38:58
Speaker
I mean, June is also in theaters. Yeah, but I didn't see it in theaters. What's that DiCaprio movie that just came out where the I think they just had like a I think they want Oscars for it. I don't remember. That was a long as fuck DiCaprio movie. I saw that theaters and I will always be mad it did not have an intermission.
00:39:16
Speaker
because it was I didn't fuck it. I'm looking up the runtime for this. Lea DiCaprio, Kellers of the Flower Moon. That's what it was. Three hours and 26 minutes. That is that is. A girl that was a long fucking movie. Mm hmm. It's really good, but holy shit. Yep. So I feel like actually, if I sat there that I can probably sit there too.
00:39:41
Speaker
Correct. Because also it's entertaining and it's good and it has your attention the entire time. The beginning didn't. I started it and it just teetered out, honestly. Dune part two? No, no, no. Dune one. Oh, I haven't seen either of them.
00:40:00
Speaker
This man over here going through life, watching the beginnings of stuff and then never finish it and saying that it's bad. I have a said dude is bad. OK. But that's not I've never asked any of the homies. I have never said doing is bad. Sorry. That was me trying to draw the parallel to how you also react. I know I'm I'm aware of what you were trying to do. However, it's incorrect.
00:40:28
Speaker
Because Naruto, I said, was bad. I still say is bad. Hmm. Mostly. Yeah, I was going to say it's grown on you like a tumor. Exactly. You got a little Naruto size to tumor. Fucking grown. I believe it. Yep. Tuna. Um, tuna fish, but you can't tune your piano. Yep. So anyway, back to gate. OK. So anyway, back to the show.
00:40:57
Speaker
But yeah, um, uh, rabbit girl comes in and starts to fucking and getting her alternative agenda going. Uh, and then they go over to Noriko who has been brought to the Japanese, uh, you know, camp and they're like, Hey, you're safe now.
00:41:14
Speaker
And then she's like, cool, can you tell me about my parents and shit? And they're like, yeah, I'm sure they're on the side of the gate. And then we find out that they were actually, Noriko has been missing for a while. And her parents were there the day that the gate opened looking for her. And she was also there as well. And she was abducted then. And her parents were going out every single day and looking for her. So they probably would not recognize her at all. But they've been passing out flyers and stuff when she
00:41:43
Speaker
left and but she has been gone for a long ass time. I think you're missing one key element there. The part that they decide to be like, hey, should we tell her about that? And they'll yell. Yeah, that's also I'm pretty sure that they the parents are dead. There you go. Yeah. Yeah, they are. They were killed in Ginza.
00:42:07
Speaker
Yeah, so bitch gets too good and they decide to be like, let's just not tell her that she just went through a lot. Let's give her a time moment to breathe. And then in the future, we'll tell her, but not now. So more band-aids not getting ripped off. Correct. We're not good about that in this show. No, they're really not way before you end the episode. Yeah. I have to know. Yeah. Was this was it this episode or the next episode with the little guy?
00:42:37
Speaker
Under rabbit girl's bed. I think it was this one. No, it's the next one. No. Oh, I know. I always get the weird shit. Always. Let's say I didn't divvy up the episodes. You did.
00:42:53
Speaker
shut the fuck up what i like you love you too bud fuck you i hate you love you bud all right wrap it up oh i did oh uh-huh okay i have indeed wrapped it over to you bud damn it yep

00:44:25
Speaker
In the next episode, in episode 15, we learn that there is a new heir to the throne. Who could it have been? And there is Targaryen. Yes. Don't fucking get me started there. But we learn that that heir is being manipulated by somebody they would never expect. And Tommy has a kid and that's pretty much the episode. Yep.
00:44:54
Speaker
So the episode opens up with Diablo and Piña Colada. And Diablo is kind of riding off into the sunset and Piña is like, hey, man, what the fuck? What are you doing? And he's like, oh, you didn't hear the news. Zorzal is officially the heir to the throne. Yeah. Yeah. Big. Was it a wise decision? Depends on whose perspective you look at it from, I suppose.
00:45:22
Speaker
The answer is just no. Yeah, no. It's it's it's a really bad idea. I know he's like, I can control him. But dude, like. Don't make Joffrey happen. Don't make. Yeah. I mean, the parallels between him and Joffrey are are very much there. Mm hmm. It's really bad.
00:45:46
Speaker
Yeah, but we learned that Zorzal is being manipulated by Oh, it's not T H. It's T Y U U L E. T Eule.
00:46:01
Speaker
I guess. Yeah, I'll be honest, I don't remember them ever saying her name. So we learned that she kind of has this whole beef with the empire because they destroyed her home and killed a bunch of her people. But she's also pissed off. And I kind of think for good reason.
00:46:23
Speaker
I mean, yeah, murdering people is. Well, no, no, no, no, no. The the second part, the second part. I get why she's mad about that. But the other thing she's mad about, I still can't understand. The JSDF came in to the throne room, right?
00:46:38
Speaker
Yeah. And they brought out Norco. Mm hmm. And they were like, we're going to do whatever it takes to get Norco out of, you know, the literal slavery you have her in. Yes. This chick's in the same boat and they didn't do a fucking thing. But yes. Like I understand Norco is Japanese. So.
00:47:00
Speaker
They need to get her back home. But like there's clearly a bigger issue at hand here. Yeah. Well, I mean, you also have to deal with the politics of, you know, gun down like 17 people after war, after war was declared on them.
00:47:18
Speaker
Zorgon started that shit. They. Yeah, they did end it rather rather handily. So ending the conflict within their realm. However, outside of that and the like slavery and stuff like that, that might be happening in Ghatia. Not. Not really their problem.
00:47:40
Speaker
Not something that they are authorized to take care of. Yeah. Yeah. But like I get why from her perspective, I get why she's really mad about it. Correct. Yeah. And then we get to meet her little friend under the bed. Uh huh. Fuck. It's me, the boogeyman. Yeah, this little this little goblin dude.
00:48:07
Speaker
Uh, comes out from under the bed and is like, Hey, you know, we have our spies everywhere.

Goblin Spy: Creepy Reward

00:48:14
Speaker
We're going to make this happen. We're going to, we're going to take down the empire and it's going to be a great time. And because he brought her that information, uh, he gets his reward. Moving on. This is brought to you by feet finder.
00:48:34
Speaker
Yeah, he he just sits there. She dropped the foot over the bed and it got mad icky. Very, very fast. So Icky that I had pushed this out of my brain until you started talking about it and I remembered. Yeah. Yeah. Just for you that I'll even say he just be licking on them toes, licking on them toes. Mm. This is she wants Norco killed.
00:49:04
Speaker
Yep. And she wants Pina Colada to be the one framed for the murder. Yeah, which is stupid. Yeah, she's got this whole fucking plan about it, and it's it's it's a time. Yeah, I'm like, I have an idea. How about you, you know, kill Zorgon in his sleep? That would have been so much better. It would have been so much better. Anything that they did, huh? However, however, here we are. Here we fucking are.
00:49:35
Speaker
From there, we hop over back to Almas Hill. Yannogita is talking to a Tommy and he's like, yeah, man, you got to head to Elbe and kill the flame dragon.

Tuka's Emotional Breakdown

00:49:47
Speaker
But he's like, bro, you weren't there. You didn't see what this thing did. Isn't it a dragon? It will be dragging these nuts across our foreheads. We will lose them. Spicy nuts. Well, Sriracha roasted almond.
00:50:05
Speaker
Blue Diamond, nuts. That sounds like it would kill me. But yeah, Tommy's like, I'm not going to do that. That's.
00:50:16
Speaker
Fucked. Mm hmm. Then we learn that Yao has told Tuka that her father was dead and she needs to suck it up and be a big kid and move on because he's crispy. He's not coming back. Which prompts a whole mental break. Yeah, she goes insane. Yeah.
00:50:40
Speaker
And Tooka. Yeah. Lele has put Tooka to sleep using her magic while her and Rory are sitting there by her bedside. Tommy walks in and is like, Hey, you know what's going on? Is she OK? And then Tooka wakes up. And sees her father standing at the foot of the bed. Yep. And it's her daddy and gets really excited.
00:51:09
Speaker
And it's like, oh, my God, they told me you were dead. I can't believe people would go this far with a sick joke. And she jumps up and hugs him. And it Tommy being hugged is very confused about the situation. Which I mean, rightfully so. Rightfully so. And. Yeah, he he kind of. Dresses up. As her dad.
00:51:38
Speaker
Yeah. And they go around on this hill together and she shows her dad all the cool things that he hasn't seen yet. Yeah. It's Tommy is getting made fun of a lot. Well, if I didn't. You brought it on himself. Oh, he certainly did. But I did enjoy Rory's remark. So how does it feel to have a daughter that's like 100 years older than you? Yeah, because elves, they all the shit.
00:52:08
Speaker
old as fuck. Mm hmm. But the problem with him dressing up and doing all this is it just drives her further insane. Yeah. Yeah. They should have ripped the bandaid on this really quickly, I think. Yeah, they should not have given in to the fantasy life that she created for herself. Right.
00:52:31
Speaker
And, you know, constantly she's just running around the city screaming. Let's go, daddy. Exactly. All the time, all the time.
00:52:41
Speaker
I'm so happy to have a clip against you. You have no idea because it's finally I finally have something. Yep. That I can throw back in your face. Listen, it's only a clip against me if I let it affect me. So let's go, Daddy. Let's go, Daddy. We're going to embrace it. He's milking. But he. Papa Papa.
00:53:09
Speaker
Papa, Papa, can you hear me? Shut up. Fuck me, you're the worst. Always. But I sell it. Yeah, we'll call Microsoft. I'm stealing their brand. Get it because Excel. I get it. Thank you. And so it taught me goes and has a.

Mission to Elbe: Kill the Flame Dragon

00:53:36
Speaker
conversation with an old man who he doesn't really recognize, who is actually King Duran Duran in disguise. Dun-dun. And then King Duran Duran, of course, is the king of where? Wales. Elbe. Yes. Where the flame dragon is. Mm hmm. So in reality, like, Tommy hasn't been allowed to go because it's not
00:54:06
Speaker
Empire territory. It's Elbe territory. Yes, but by Duran Duran saying hey go kill it That's permission. It is that is full-on permission to go into Elbe and do what you got to do
00:54:22
Speaker
And it Tommy realizes, OK, maybe I can snap to get out of this. If she kills the flame dragon, right? Is that good for her? Yeah, that's kind of the the full circle of her insanity.
00:54:42
Speaker
is facing the, you know, the thing that literally drove her insane. Yeah, that, too. And he's like, you know what? Fuck it. We're going to do this. It's just going to be me and Touka. I'm not putting anybody else's life on the line. So he goes up to Yana Gita and is like, OK, fine. Fuck it. We're doing it. I mean, I'll get we ball.
00:55:06
Speaker
He'd fuck it. We ball. I need two weeks worth of rations for two people spare gas the car and he's going down the list of everything he needs and You gonna get is like it's so for two people to you You might want to reconsider. Yeah, you pose a whole Katniss Everdeen insert say I volunteer yeah, and Rory comes up and
00:55:34
Speaker
I think just hits him. Yep. And it's like, how dare you think that you are going to go do this without me? You think about murdering without me? Fucking weird. It's like her favorite. That's why her and Kirbayashi get along so well. It's both of their favorite thing. They do the murder. They do the murder. And naturally, that means Lele will also be joining. She's like, make that four. Uh-huh.
00:56:04
Speaker
But then we get our good friend, Yow. Do you know how mad I was when I was editing that and I heard myself say it like that? You said it weird. I didn't think I did. I thought I said it normally. Until you edited it and then you heard it and you're like, wow, I fucked up. I think I texted you and was like, bro, I found it. Yep. I didn't know it happened. It did. That's why I let you know.
00:56:33
Speaker
But yeah, comes and joins. So now we have five people and as they're driving off into the sunset to go and kill the flame dragon, we get a nice little voiceover from Yanagita.

Itami's Leadership Questioned: Suicide Mission

00:56:46
Speaker
Well, he's like, you're the laziest son of a bitch in the world. You're not even that good at what you do. But somehow you're going on a suicide mission and there are people who are willing to follow you. Yeah.
00:57:00
Speaker
who volunteer to follow you. Yeah, things are doing something, right? Yeah, it does. It speaks volumes about just how he is. And it's really cool that we're going to get to see a little bit more in these final episodes of it. Tommy finally kind of coming in to.
00:57:22
Speaker
His own lead leadership. OK, cool. Like he's always I think personally, I think he's always kind of been his own. Like he gets shit done. But maybe he gets it done his way. Mm hmm. But now it kind of it'll start to become a little more benefit of others, so to speak. Yeah. Yeah. Slightly more traditional.
00:57:48
Speaker
Yeah, that's that's a better way of putting it. But with them driving off, that does in fact bring us to the end of our three episodes. Yeah. Yeah.
00:57:58
Speaker
So overall, that was your first introduction to season two. Correct. Which also means we glanced over it, but we we did. Other things that happened in this. Where is the new opener? Oh, shit, that's right. Yeah.
00:58:21
Speaker
uh there was a whole other opener as well there was the opener and the outro yeah uh outro cute a lot of nudity a lot of nudity um not really there was like there was a fair amount like the back half is literally all shower stuff
00:58:38
Speaker
Yeah, but I mean like tasteful bubbles covering. Yeah, it's not like the like no nipple nudity from fucking Hell's Paradise over here. Oh, is that a that's a thing. You're welcome.
00:58:55
Speaker
Are we watching Health Paradise? Maybe in the future. Who knows? Cool. Yeah. I'd be interested in no nipple tits. I've heard the plot of the show was pretty good and the music's really good. We should cover that. Yeah. I watch it for the plot. I've got two good reasons. I read it for the articles. Yeah. Fucking the opener. That's also a thing. It was.
00:59:25
Speaker
Interesting. I think I'm more partial to the first opener. Understandable. I like the chaos of the second opener. I feel like at the at the end, when the guitar solo comes in, it does just get a little too chaotic. It's like out of nowhere. It really is. And I mean, after having listened to the full. Season one intro song.
00:59:54
Speaker
There are two solos in that and they're very fitting. They're not long. They're not, you know, crazy disjointed. Yes, that crazy bullshit sweeps and tapping that make no sense. Yes. It feels like it should. Feels like this one, however, music. Yeah, this one, however. No, no, no, no. But what did you think of the outro song? Oh, outro song was
01:00:24
Speaker
Not bad. It was cute. It's, uh, you know, a little bit on the tamer side for music and everything, as opposed to the other ones. Does it match the tone? Uh, you know what? I'll say it does. Hey, let's go. God damn it. But yeah. Yeah. Um, yeah. Interesting openers.
01:00:45
Speaker
Uh, wouldn't put either of them in like my top for anything. Uh, you know, no, not at all. Uh, because I'm trying not to cough. Um, yeah. Uh, but no, definitely want to put either of them in my top stuff, but they're there.
01:01:05
Speaker
There are plenty of other anime openers and you will see them and you'll be like, yeah, I understand what you're saying now. Yeah. Yeah. Lots of better options. So you and I were discussing this at the right before we started recording. Yes.
01:01:22
Speaker
The next or I guess the remaining episodes of gate are I was going through and doing a little bit of a rewatch and honestly they kind of blend. Yeah. So instead of doing three episodes of we belong for the rest of gate, we're just going to knock that down to two.
01:01:42
Speaker
Yeah, that's good. So in the next episode that we cover, we're going to be doing 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20. So we're going to do five episodes next and then four for the remaining. Yeah, doing a little bit of consolidating so we can get to some more new shit faster. And you don't want to say what it is yet, do you? No, not yet.
01:02:05
Speaker
We're going to wait till next episode. Yeah, we'll tease the next episode. Hell yeah. Yeah. So yeah, it'll be it'll be super fun. Mm hmm. I'm excited. I'm excited. Yeah, because as much as much as I love gate, I want to do another show. Yep. You're like, I want more. I want more anime. Yeah. And we were discussing last night that I think we're just going to stick with how we do Naruto.
01:02:32
Speaker
Yes, where we're just going to do some fucking chunks. I think that that's the best way to do it. Like, yeah, do it like a whole. What do we do? Eight episode chunk? Yeah, we did. I think we did. Eight was the biggest. Yeah, I don't think we're going to be doing quite that big, but we're going to stick more to like six or sevens. Yeah. Well, yeah, I feel like six is about a little archive five or something like that. Yeah. OK, yeah. We'll keep it around there.
01:03:01
Speaker
It's gonna be fun. But with that, anything you wanna plug this week? So it's been a minute since we have last recorded. I have watched- About two weeks. Yeah, I have watched some shows. I'm pretty sure I talked about Hill's Paradise, or I might not have in the last thing, but I have
01:03:23
Speaker
finished Hell's Paradise. I have read all of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga, so I am currently up to date with that and know all the things that are going on there. Fun stuff, excited to see it animated in the future because I'll tell you what, reading it, looking at the panels, I'm like, wow, that's cool. Well, it's going to be cool as well. I can just watch it. And what I don't have to read. Exactly. Because I have not read anything. Well, I mean, there's a certain
01:03:52
Speaker
characters that get introduced and then they break down their first technique and i'll be honest my brain there is a whole page of dialogue and my brain went.
01:04:09
Speaker
And I glanced over it, but I'm like, it'll be better explained to me in the future. I'm sure. Uh, but yeah, did that. I've started Vinland saga. I am halfway through season one, um, continuing magic and muscles, enjoying that. And then looking forward to, uh, the first episode of my hero academia season seven dub will be coming out on Saturday.
01:04:33
Speaker
So we jumping on into that as well. Yeah, that should be that should be good for you. That's what I'm doing. Again, the analyst is up. If you have recommendations for other stuff, it's underneath. We've John on any list to know what I've watched, what I'm currently watching, and you can get a little sneak peek at how I've rated stuff.
01:04:54
Speaker
Yeah, so far. OK, that actually that brings me to a good question. Season one of gate. Yeah. What are you what are you giving it? Oh, um, you can be honest. I say I'm thinking I'm giving it like a six point five. OK, I can take that. Uh huh. That's honestly higher than I thought it would be. Yeah, I'm like. There's some pacing where I feel like at times we're just sort of like stalling a little bit. Um.
01:05:22
Speaker
But I mean, overall, it's fun. It's good. It's got some good action when it happens and stuff. When it happens. Yeah, but it it feels like italica happened. And then we've just sort of been we had this stuff that happened with them going to the Japanese side, but it's just feel like we've been stalling out a little bit since then. So yeah, season two, I'm hoping.
01:05:45
Speaker
Comes out to be a little bit better for you. Yeah. It has a little more going on. They've bumped the budget. OK. For the show. I had a feeling that we would. I know that's just the beginning of the season and that it needs like time to go places. I just introduce all.
01:06:02
Speaker
Yeah, well like with the ending of season one being a little bit on the slower side as well, I think that it just blended together for me where it's just been like, all right, I'm ready for some other stuff to happen. Yeah. And so I would be excited to see, again, other stuff. Cool. But yeah, what do you got to plug?
01:06:23
Speaker
Um, so I am going to plug. I've continued watching ghost stories. Uh huh. Fuck, it's so funny. Very funny. It's so fucking funny. I have not seen it, but I have seen it on. On TikTok. Socials. Also, I don't know that you've talked about ghost stories on. Haven't I? I don't think you have.
01:06:49
Speaker
Oh, I started watching two weeks. That's true. I started watching ghost stories. Uh huh. But yeah, the dubbed version, it's absolutely incredible. You can tell that supervision just did not exist. Did not. Nothing. They are saying the most out of pocket shit I have ever heard in a show is pushing as many boundaries as possible. Yeah.
01:07:16
Speaker
But yeah, also going to go ahead and plug the socials. Oh, yeah. You can go ahead and follow us on Instagram and TikTok at we belong pod. And then on our subreddit, our slash the we belong podcast and pop over to our discord. Thank you to the person on Discord who pointed out that I set the wrong date for the release of the episode last week. A mistakes happen. It's all good. They do.
01:07:44
Speaker
So, yeah, thank you. Thank you for that. It's the discord's been super fun. And then I do. And then music wise this week, we're going to go with Insects Destroy by Pulley. OK. Fun little punk song found out that the lead singer actually used to be a closing pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels.
01:08:13
Speaker
Oh, yeah. He's like apparently punk and baseball have a really big crossover. Yeah. And there's a lot of guys because there's a bunch of guys who actually like baseball players who have been in punk bands or have walk up songs that are.
01:08:33
Speaker
punk songs. So it's it's cool having that. Yeah. But would you say that it's out there? Why would I say is it out there? I'm just curious. Would you say that like the music and like the almost unexpected or like a little bit out there for that form or I guess. Cool. So you would say that he was an angel that was out there or an angel in the outfield.
01:08:55
Speaker
want to give you the satisfaction. But you made me. You made me do it. You also made me set this up. I'm pretty sure that I've brought up Angels in the Outfield on the podcast before. Do you know who the kid is in Angels in the Outfield? No, who? I just learned that Joseph Gordon Levitt. Oh. Yeah. Look at him. I had no idea. It was his first ever movie.
01:09:24
Speaker
How funny would it have been if it was like Haley Joel Osment? And it was, he's the guy from, what is it, Sixth Sense? Where I see dead people. And that was just like that character, his gig for the whole rest of his life. Which means. That was his cameo on The Boys. Yeah, it wouldn't be his only gig for this entire life because he plays Sora in Kingdom Hearts.
01:09:52
Speaker
The esteem video we know with one of this gaming Talk about Kingdom Hearts at all. No, I'm okay
01:10:02
Speaker
I had a boy. Yep, it's all good. That was the easiest shit I've ever edited. And I'm just going to fucking go. Is you ranting for like three minutes? Pop off, King. I got you. I'll just I can I can just talk. I'll use them words. Yeah, because you're known for being so good at that. I'm so good at the words. I am a wordsmith.
01:10:32
Speaker
A wordle? Yep, a wordle. I think that'll bring us to the end of the episode. I think it will. Yeah. So thank you all again. We will see you in the next one after watching a total of five more episodes of Gates. Yeah. Bye. Have a good week. Bye.
01:11:11
Speaker
Let's go, Daddy!
