Kwon's Anime Adventures
00:01:14
Speaker
So it's been a while. It's been a little bit of time since the last time we recorded. So I'm going to start with Kwon. Kwon, sir, what have you been watching anime-wise since the last time we recorded?
00:01:30
Speaker
Yikes. One piece. Obviously, I'm all caught up. Oh, yeah, I've been caught up. Like, I'm all the way with it. Like, I'm feeling for this next episode. It has to be coming to a close sometime soon. And I need that to happen. I've been, like, drooling over the thought of One Punch Man's next season because shit's about to go down. I've been, like, kind of keeping up with the manga. Shit's crazy.
00:01:59
Speaker
Outside of that, I started watching Is It Wrong and Pick Up Girls and The Dungeon, the season three. Was it Gibiate or Gibby? I don't know how to say the name of the show. I think it's Gibiate. We'll go with that. And then Overlord season four just had the first two episodes. So I've been on that too. Sabuki Biscoe was actually kind of good, to be honest with you. I hope they have another season.
00:02:25
Speaker
Oh, we love a recommendation. Can you type that in the chat? Cause you know, I'm not the best with the names. That's
Alex's Anime Catch-up
00:02:34
Speaker
funny. All right, Alex, what have you been on? Well,
00:02:41
Speaker
Let's see. So there's a couple of them that I've been kind of watching. Um, I was trying to think about it cause it hadn't been, I feel like I'm in a little bit of a currently feeling like I don't have a lot that I've been watching. But when I went back to my archives, I realized like I recently just finished up the shield hero season two. So that actually was pretty, the big, the first half of it was kind of weird. Like I didn't like it a lot. Like they had this weird CG monster in there. I don't know what they were doing, but the, the rest of it was actually pretty good at it.
00:03:09
Speaker
had a couple of good moments in there, so pretty cool.
00:03:13
Speaker
Um, I also tried to watch Tokyo goal. I had never seen that one before. It's kind of an old one. I had a really good, I really liked it at, for the season one, but I keep reading about how the second season is really terrible. So I have not partaken in the second season because I kind of wanted to leave it on a good note, but, um, I'm really, I really enjoyed that first season. And right now I took a chance on the show that I've been.
00:03:43
Speaker
avoiding because of the title, I just feel like the title of the show made me just reject it off site. But now I just like kind of
00:03:51
Speaker
I just caved and just tried. And I am sad to report that I'm really enjoying it. That time I got reincarnated as a slime. I'm really rocky with it. I'm really rocky with it. I told you. I've been saying this for a while.
Emerson's Anime Journey
00:04:13
Speaker
How deep into it are you Alex?
00:04:16
Speaker
Um, I have only watched, I think, let's see, I'm on episode, I am starting episode 14. So I am really early in.
00:04:28
Speaker
Yeah, no, I mean, I've really like, I've been watching, like, I look forward to watching each episode. I'm like, man, why am I rocking with the show so hard? Like, what is it so good? Like, it's really why. Rimmeroo Tempest is a very relatable character, like a very logical character.
00:04:48
Speaker
Yeah, he really is. And he's got a nice ethical moral compass, but not in like a crazy pacifist way either. Like, like he feels more sensible, but still very, still very honorable and like, you know, moral, which I really, he's, he's great. He's really great. And it's not like cocky and bigoted or whatever either.
00:05:15
Speaker
So I really, yeah, you're right. I think it's probably him, but I like the whole cast of characters. Hey, she don't? You know, that's my guh. Oh my gosh. Oh, you might not know her yet. I don't know. I feel like any character on that show, there's several on that show that are designed for men. Let's just say it like that. I don't understand what the issue is.
00:05:42
Speaker
I didn't say, did I say there was an issue? I just said that there are, I am assuming that Shion is among those designed for men. I think Benny Maru was designed for women. So I think they did it. They did a good job. I mean, but in women's defense though, they never had like Benny Maru in the hoochie daddy shorts, but they be having the cleavages out though. The cleavages do be out and people, but remember the beach, the beach episode,
00:06:11
Speaker
Oh, there's a beach episode. Oh, there she goes. But without spoiling it, it's a beach episode that they don't do cleavage. It's like literally just throwing it in your face, like, ha, we're having a beach episode, but we're not doing any fanservice. They're all in one pieces. Oh, all right. Well, I've seen some fanservice one pieces on shows.
00:06:40
Speaker
Ain't nothing wrong with that. Ain't nothing wrong with that. But yeah, you're right. There's a severe lack of hoochie daddy shorts in the show. Hey, so much for me, 22. I feel violated. Hey, you're the one that likes Frieza, who's butt ass naked every episode. I mean, yeah. I mean, he can get it. So I mean, I'm just saying.
00:07:04
Speaker
All right, I love it. So yes, I have a couple overlap with you guys for what I've been watching. Probably my favorite.
00:07:13
Speaker
of the newer
Which Anime Character Would You Revive?
00:07:14
Speaker
animators watch this year or since we last recorded. Ranking of Kings did not think I was going to like it. It kind of gave me like the childish vibes. It is phenomenal. I sat there. I've cried. I laughed. I felt all of the feels watching it. Highly recommend. Good story too. Drop that one in the chat. I'm definitely going to figure it out.
00:07:36
Speaker
Oh, I got you. Caught up on One Piece. I'm all the way caught up. Kaiwan. Yeah, that joint was crazy. So I had a nasty binge. I was, since the last time we talked about anime in general, I was right before the whole Cake Island arc, which is like episode, I want to say like eight, seven, starts in the late 700s.
00:07:59
Speaker
like 790 something. But I've binged all of that, got caught up to like, we're like, what, 1023 now? And shit is getting real. And I just want to say thank you to these One Piece animators and creators. It is phenomenal.
00:08:18
Speaker
I also finished, I watched Girl in Logging, which is an older one. It came out in the late 2000s, early 2010s. Liked it a lot. It was a quick binge. It was like 26 episodes. Try Gun, I started. I'm still watching that one. That's a throwback, but Kawan recommended it and I'm very happy he did. I remembered it after his recommendation because I got some notification about a new season coming back. So they're also reviving Bleach in the fall, but they're reviving this.
00:08:46
Speaker
and bash the stampede is like the main character of it but they're naming it something like bash something i don't remember what it's called but really good overlord love overlord that's my shit i don't think i could be that character because what what shorty's name that abido oh yeah albedo yeah she's oh yeah i'll be wild i'll be wild bro i'll be
00:09:11
Speaker
So can't do that. Tokyo Ghoul had the same reaction as you, Alex, watched the first season, read about the second season, happy I read about the second season before I started watching it. I'm not watching the second or third season. I'm going to end on that quality note. And then the other one that I have on my list to do is Shaman Kings. I was watching it. I got caught up. But then Netflix released the second half recently. So I need to watch that. But yeah.
00:09:41
Speaker
So that's where I'm at. And I think we can start talking about today's topic. Today's topic is a fun one. The prompt for today was, if you can revive one anime character, who are you reviving? And we have to provide the rest of the story from the show that they're in. Warnings, there may be spoilers. Ignore the spoilers. Be happy, people. So if we have any takers, who wants to go first?
00:10:10
Speaker
I vote Alex. Okay. Well, I have one perfectly designed for Kwon. I think he'll really like this one. I would revive the storyline from Teen Gohan. Like... Who you breaking back into for 16?
00:10:30
Speaker
Well, I would revive the OG team Gohan, RIP to the remainder of his lifespan. I'm going to just reset like hard reboot of my man's life starting after the boo saga. We're just going to assume that the, you know, that this man did not continue on. We're going to, we're going to reject the entire storyline of Saiyaman.
00:10:56
Speaker
And we're also going to completely get rid of the storyline related to this new movie that came out. I don't know. Even though, you know, this movie apparently did some things. They gave them a new transformation. Good for them. We're just gonna, I don't know what that, I don't know what's going on with that, but we're just gonna assume that this guy, you know, continued ascending in greatness after his, um,
00:11:24
Speaker
after his beautiful victory and strength that he displayed as team Gohan and figure out what he would have done if he realized his full potential from there. So I'd say that. I have to let you have stopped him from becoming cocky. Remember, he became cocky when he fought super boot.
00:11:51
Speaker
hmm that was also the last time he was useful so um i have to take the i was gonna say if i if i had to take the coffee with utility i'm cool with it
00:12:07
Speaker
Yeah, I appreciate that comment, Alex, because he definitely needs a reboot.
Alternate Storylines in Anime
00:12:12
Speaker
And I know that he has the new form coming out of whatever, where his hair is all gray and his eyes are all red. But he's still a bitch. And here's why. I have reasons. I have reasons. First of all, this new form is the equivalent of essentially Super Saiyan God. And Super Saiyan God is currently useless. So by default, this nigga is now useless.
00:12:36
Speaker
Um, that's, that's point one, um, point two, it's kind of ugly. Like I feel like he hasn't had any like stylistic changes to his, his like saying, saying for him either. And it's kind of trash. Like why, plus why is it gray? And it's not ultra instinct. If he's going to be useful, he needs to have some equivalent of ultra instinct and he does it and it's gray steel, but why though, I don't get it. This scaling has always been trashed, but you know, whatever.
00:13:03
Speaker
Yeah, I mean at this point- It's kind of a ratty design. Honestly, I'm not gonna lie, I know it's not canon, but the Dragon Ball GT designs are very fire.
00:13:19
Speaker
It would be smart if they did that, though, like to make DT Cannon, or at least some of those forms, Cannon, because they're much better. And it kind of goes back to basic, because they're originally apes anyway. So to be honest, when GT came out, those seemed like natural progressions for me. Anyway, like Super Saiyan 4 being the red ape, that was the dopest shit I'd ever seen. And probably to this day, still one of the best forms of Dragon Ball, even though it's not Cannon, as they were produced. Yeah, I agree. I just don't need a villain named Baby, though.
00:13:49
Speaker
Nah, but the baby is a villain out here. He killing niggas in Walmarts and whatnot. I had to do it. I had to do it. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm just saying, we're happy first. We don't know. That's funny. OK. You want to go next? You want me to go next?
00:14:13
Speaker
I can go next. Actually, you go next, you go next. Okay, I'll go next. So mine, it might be recency bias.
00:14:22
Speaker
I'll come back to this. I'll talk more about an alternative when we do the honorable mentions. But I'm going to go ace. I'm going to go ace from One Piece. So in One Piece, Ace is Luffy's blood brother. But he's also his blood brother, as in they did a blood pact to be brothers. They exchanged a cup of sake, all the traditional stuff. But he's also technically his stepbrother.
00:14:49
Speaker
in it. And he dies. That's that shouldn't be. That's a spoiler, but it shouldn't be. Anyway, the one the reason I kind of went back and forth about it is if you watch if you're current on on Wano, they do a lot of flashbacks. So now you kind of see part of his life, but you just see part of his life that you didn't know up until the part the point he died. He died young, though he died at like 20.
00:15:14
Speaker
But the difference I would make would be instead of him dying at Marine Ford, he wouldn't be dead. So instead, he would have been able to evade the punch from the admiral. So he wouldn't have died. And him and Luffy would have escaped while they escaped.
00:15:30
Speaker
Whitebeard tries to convince Luffy to join his pirates because Luffy did the heroic jailbreak for Ace. Luffy rejects it and then Whitebeard dies after Luffy rejects it. He doesn't die in the war. The war actually never happens.
00:15:52
Speaker
So what actually happens is White Bear dies, honestly, as he dies, you would think that Marco would be the natural progression as the next person to lead the White Bear Pirates, because he's the first commander. But instead, all 12 of the commanders actually have a fight, a tournament, because we love a tournament, Mark.
00:16:10
Speaker
to see who would be the next leader of the Whitebeard Pirates. Marco and Ace end up in the finals, and Ace beats Marco off of a random, Marco falls, like some random, something random happens. Makes Marco, because Marco's devil fruit is actually more powerful, because it's a mythical one, than Ace's. But some random shit happens, he loses. Ace now leads,
00:16:36
Speaker
the pirates and he becomes a world power. So he takes over Whitebeard's position as one of the emperors. And now Luffy has to fight Ace in order to conquer and become king of the pirates. But when they come one-on-one and they're fighting to get the last polygraph so they can get to Lafftail Island, which will make them the king, they decide that they're gonna be brothers and not fight each other and they're gonna split the bounty.
00:17:14
Speaker
Yeah, all right, so the reason it's tough for me was, so I want, I'll always love Ace as a character. I just, I fuck with someone that's a principal character. Did he have to go after Teach? After Teach stole it? No. Was he aware that Teach stole the devil fruit? Was he aware that Teach's devil fruit power was better than his? And Alex, in the show, each character, his power is based off the devil fruit. Teach is Blackbeard, he's like the main villain.
00:17:29
Speaker
end of my show.
00:17:40
Speaker
Which is kind of weird to say that he's a villain, because technically all of the pirates should be villains, but whatever. He's a villain. His power is that, or the power he had before the war, his devil fruit can negate every other devil fruit's power. It's the power of darkness. So it basically just absorbs the power of another person's devil fruit. And it also allows him to create black holes and shit. So Ace fights him and loses to him, and that's how he gets caught.
00:18:11
Speaker
So in my story, the way I would do it is instead of all of that, he's principled in the sense that he knew he was going to lose that fight, but he still had to go out and fight because he didn't want Whitebeard to be disgraced, not for himself. He didn't fight for himself, which I thought was pretty dope. So in this story, he would end up aligning with Luffy, but because they're brothers, he wouldn't bring himself to fight him.
00:18:34
Speaker
So he's gonna offer to share the treasure and allow Luffy to have the title King of Pirates. Of course, Luffy's gonna say no, because it's Luffy, but the world's still gonna acknowledge Luffy as King of the Pirates, even though everyone knows that he got there because of Ace, in my story. I have one couple of questions. Shoot him, I'm ready. All right, first,
00:19:03
Speaker
Do you really think the ace can wipe Marco like that? Because I got Marco. No. So the thing is, I never thought, I always thought Marco was OP. Two things maybe question that. One, right before Whole Cake Island, when they tried to fight Blackbeard, and they got waxed. And two, him fighting Queen and King right now. Granted, it is two niggas.
00:19:31
Speaker
It's two niggas. Bounties over a billion. Bounties over a billion. But at this point, every character we're meeting has bounties over a billion. Like, at this point. But yeah, I don't think he will wax him. I think he'll put up a good fight. And I think there's, at the time that the fight takes place, we don't know. He might, well, we do know, because I get to write the story. He'll get a power up. He will awaken his devil fruit at the right fucking time. Because it's my story.
00:20:00
Speaker
But what I would love to, the reason I wanted it to go that way is because I think if you can still have Big Mom and Kaido and all that stuff still happen, the reason I want Ace to be there though is because Ace, like everything that Luffy is now that we're seeing is what Ace wanted for him the whole time, but never got to see him be.
00:20:22
Speaker
So that's how I come out with like, I want him to, it's kind of more like a feel good story in that sense. Because every, like even the flashbacks that we see there in Wano, everybody's comparing Luffy to Ace and everything that Luffy's done, Ace already did on that Island.
00:20:39
Speaker
Right? I think the big, the best part of One Piece right now and the reason I'm like in love with it is the whole seeing, seeing the worst generation come to their ranks, coming to power. Like the fact that Luffy, this, sorry guys, spoiler, the fact that Luffy, and this is according to the timeline in the show, a month ago fought Big Mom and almost got waxed
00:21:03
Speaker
If I almost got waxed, he really got waxed, he just escaped. And now he's fighting on par with two of the emperors. And yeah, sure, you have four people from the worst generation fighting alongside of him. At the same time, they're not putting a dent in these niggas. Only Luffy is putting damage on. Zoro too. Zoro did cut a scale. And I think Killer also impaled Kaido a little bit, but then Kaido switched forms and he was just like, young niggas babies.
00:21:30
Speaker
Nah, don't play Zorro like that. Zorro was... Zorro, you know Zorro's my favorite character now. Don't do that. Nah, he's my favorite too. I do think that they did nerf him a little bit in the sense that Kaido was just like, oh, the only reason he was able to cut me was in that sword. Not his swordsmanship. It was the fact that it was Odin's sword.
00:21:49
Speaker
Well, I don't think they were downplaying Zorro in that way. I think that when Zorro got that sword, I think someone told him that there's still room for improving it. And so I think that because Odin had that sword, it's like further along in the progression and it might be better for some shit like that.
00:22:10
Speaker
But I don't think that that was any, like, dig at Zorro. I think Kaido's just, like, that fucking strong. And Zorro just shows how much room he has to grow before he can, like, how much, like, extra power he has to still attain, I guess. You are a glass half full type of guy, and I love it. I love it. You have swayed me, Counselor. You have swayed me. What were your other questions about the storyline?
00:22:36
Speaker
Fuck. I honestly forgot some of them. So you, oh, this is the other question I wanted to ask. So you think that Luffy and Ace would share it? Because I got Luffy, I got Luffy rocking Ace's shit. I don't think he's going for that. Luffy is very stenchy. He's very, I'm going to do what the fuck I want. I don't think he would share that. Brother or no brother. I think they would have to fade it out.
00:23:04
Speaker
So I agree, I would have agreed with that. I do think yes, everything you said is accurate about their personality and character traits. But the thing that kind of made me switch my belief on it was seeing the flashback to Gold Roger and Whitebeard. Whitebeard allowed Gold Roger to become king of the pirates. Do you remember he needed Odin? Because Odin was the only person that could read the polygraphs.
00:23:31
Speaker
and he allowed him to do it. And no one talks, we don't talk about that. We don't talk about the fact that, but for that flashlight, but for him allowing Odin to travel with him and even allowing him to live after they fought on that island together, that he, you know? So if we see that between people that are comrades, comrades, don't you think people that are family might be able to do a little bit more?
00:23:59
Speaker
Cause like you talking about at the same time, like the difference in white beard and go Roger situation, I feel like was one had got there first. But if it's like, if it's one slice of pizza left in the box and you hungry and I'm hungry,
00:24:17
Speaker
Who gonna eat the pizza, Emerson? If it's me and you, I'm gonna let you have it, because you my brother and I care about you. Bullshit. That makes one of us. If it's Alex, I might have to rock, paper, scissors for it. Yeah, that's fair.
00:24:35
Speaker
I disagree, but I can definitely understand where you're coming from. I appreciate that, sir. And I just want you to know that it's fine for us to disagree. It's my story, though. Oh, no, absolutely. My story. It's your turn, sir. Oh, shit. I kind of feel bad for picking a One Piece character, too, because my character is Kuma. Oh.
00:25:00
Speaker
I feel like Kuma should not have died at, I think it was like right before this about the Archipelago arc. I think that's when he like surrendered his body or whatever before he became PX Zero. I think that he should not have, like in my version of events, he doesn't do that basically. And well, first of all, like he doesn't do that and he eventually
00:25:25
Speaker
You would eventually have to rejoin the Revolutionary Army because he seemed like an inside man anyway to begin with. And then I don't know what would happen with the Revolutionary Army's final battle with, I'm assuming it would end up being the Celestial Dragons. I don't know how that would go.
00:25:42
Speaker
to plot out the rest of the story, but at least he lives and he doesn't surrender his body. I think it's a gist of it. Because he seems like one of probably the most powerful characters in the show. His Donnie was some ridiculous shit. Was it 296 million?
00:26:00
Speaker
And I feel like, to be honest, he was stronger than that. But they kind of nerfed him. Because he was friends with Ivan, Dragon, and stuff like that. All of them know high-level hockeys and shit like that. So there's no way that this nigga's not stronger than he appeared to be. I'm of the opinion at least. That he started from the beginning.
00:26:18
Speaker
Mentoring these niggas, but from a very antagonistic perspective because like when he was slapping them all unconscious into like You know 30 million miles away and shit like he did that to save each and every one of them So like it would have been nice to just see Like because he came across as a dick It would have been nice to see like his character develop into like an actual useful person. It's not terrible you know he had ulterior motives and while he seemed like you know an antagonist he was actually a
00:26:45
Speaker
you know, helping them in his own way. And I just want to see that develop. I'm here for that. I would love to because I think with him, they actually the Revolutionary Army is kind of OP.
00:26:59
Speaker
I'm saying because Sabo is like probably the weakest of, he's like the chief of staff. So he's undoubtedly strong, but he's also one of the youngest. So I would imagine he's probably not the strongest, but there's several people stronger than him is all I'm getting at, especially the OG's like Kuma, like
00:27:18
Speaker
Ivanov dragging. So it would have been interesting to see one, his high level hockey's and shit like that. What he would have done if he came face to face with an admiral or something. To see him actually fight somebody just kind of blows my mind. Because how does that fight go? Does he slap you and you fly a million miles away and then you somehow get back? You lose every time. He's broken, in my opinion. I want to see that expanded and developed. Because he's ridiculous.
00:27:47
Speaker
I'm not mad at that at all. But what you said, this tangentially related, what you just said made me think about something I've realized in one piece that I appreciate, I didn't realize I appreciated before, was the age gaps between the characters.
00:28:02
Speaker
Like, the characters aren't really the same age, which is really interesting. Like, the worst part of the picture has people from like, like, beige is like, what, 30-something? But then like, Luffy is 20, Zorro is 20, then like, what, extra Drake is like 29. Like, they're not all the same age.
00:28:19
Speaker
Plus, the age gaps are also crazy, because Garp is dumb strong. Singoku is dumb strong. Being able to see stuff like that develop would be really, really nice to see.
00:28:38
Speaker
I agree. I agree. So something that's funny to me about this, we're about to start our honorable mentions portion.
Impact of Jiraiya's Survival in Naruto
00:28:44
Speaker
Something that's funny to me was when this prompt came up, I actually anticipated us having characters from the same anime, but not One Piece. I thought it was going to be Naruto. I actually was going to bring up that. I wasn't ready to move on. I definitely have
00:29:00
Speaker
a character from Naruto that I would wanna get. I mean, the- Oh, no, no, no. These are honorable mentions in the sense that we don't have to give how the story ends. We could, but it's more about just listing our characters that we thought of or considered to bring back.
00:29:17
Speaker
Well, I mean, I started with my honorable mention with the Gohan story, but I was going to say. That was an honorable mention. It was so good. I mean, I mean, the very first thought I had when we talked about this subject was Jiraiya. Like, what if Jiraiya had lived? That's who I thought Kawhi was going to pick. That's who I thought Kawhi was going to pick. Please tell us your story. We want to hear it now.
00:29:41
Speaker
Ooh, I don't know if I got this far. But basically, if he didn't die, and he had actually lived, he hadn't sacrificed himself, and he had came back from, and he came back to meet Naruto, do you guys actually think that Naruto would have become who he became? Because I know that that was so formative to his entire story arc. He used that as inspiration to grow and to be able to
00:30:12
Speaker
strengthen well enough to be able to fight pain. I think that, wait, say your question one more time, just so I think I got this here. Would Naruto be as great as he is, essentially? Like, would he have been inspired enough to, like, single-handedly, like, transform the war? I think so. And I say that for a couple reasons. One,
00:30:39
Speaker
Naruto's original and like primary objective has always been like protecting people and protecting the Leaf Village. Two, I think that Jiraiya alive would have made Naruto, would have continued to be a great mentor to Naruto. I also think Naruto would have helped Jiraiya perfect his Sage Mode, which would have made him much more nastier than he already was. That's good. I also think that he probably would have showed him how to be a better dad, so there would be no bratty Boruto.
00:31:09
Speaker
Like Uncle Jiraiya, are you kidding me? Uncle Jiraiya, like that sounds amazing. Yeah, Boruto would probably be less of a bitch if he wasn't. A good uncle to like teach him some shit. Because Jiraiya was super cool. He got sauce cakes. Sauce cakes is uncle. Sauce cakes. On my other part, we're talking about uncles. What about Uncle Negi? No, Negi a bitch with his general palms.
00:31:36
Speaker
What? Is death the most meaningless death I've ever seen in anime? I do not think that's like an oversimplification or exaggeration.
00:31:51
Speaker
His death did nothing. But to Kwan's point, I do think, I think that Naruto still would have become Hokage and everything, just because it's in his nature to find fuel from wherever. So I think he would have just found fuel in another arc, like somebody else would have died. Plus, you finished? No, no, you go ahead. I want to hear it. Plus, I think that Naruto was, like, since the beginning, since he was a child, Naruto has always been like,
00:32:19
Speaker
trying to dive in and understand that power that he had. And I don't think that that would have changed with Jariah staying alive, because his major breakthrough came when he saw the eight tails anyway. It wasn't necessarily something that Jariah would have, I think, affected.
00:32:43
Speaker
OK, well, since we're on Naruto, I was going to bring up. So I did anticipate that you guys are going to you guys are going to mention one of you. I thought I thought it's going to be Kawaan, say Jiraiya.
00:32:54
Speaker
I had two that I was debating between, so that's how come I didn't say it. I was between Atachi and Guy Sensei. But for the story for Guy Sensei, I had, I think the story I had for him was like a little bit more intriguing. So basically, everything that happened in Naruto happens up until his death, the difference being instead of him dying, when he unleashes the eighth gate, him
00:33:19
Speaker
He unleashes the eighth gate. As he's dying, Naruto comes to help revive him. While Naruto was trying to revive him, we're like, you know, doing whatever to heal him. Rock Lee goes crazy and goes into the eighth gate himself. And then he finishes up before, what's my man's name? Crazy man. Who were they fighting? Who were they fighting?
00:33:46
Speaker
Madara, yeah, before Madara can heal himself, Rocklea hits the eighth gate, like this Berserker mode, attacks him, but then Naruto sees, well, Guy Sensei sees, after he's revived, sees what's happening and knows that Rocklea's about to die and then loses his shit and is about to go into the eighth gate again, but instead stops at the seventh gate and then he kills Madara.
00:34:17
Speaker
So Guy Sensei would have been the hero of it all. But obviously you can't make him the hero because he can't do anything besides taijutsu. So, you know, it's a little racist, a little ableistic. I actually was thinking about reviving, like, but I always keep, I mean, I feel like I'm coughing out because I'm reviving characters that are technically alive. But like, basically,
00:34:38
Speaker
cast recasting them as non like non functional, like hopefully. So I feel like Guy said say not having to sacrifice and like basically just like ruin himself would have been really interesting. If he had continued in
00:34:57
Speaker
after opening the gate, like found like some enlightenment and was able to heal, heal himself, or if Sakura could become useful and like revive him in some way, like have him have his life start working again, that'd be really interesting as well.
00:35:16
Speaker
Well, yeah, that'd be interesting. The other one I had was Attachi. I love Attachi. Like, Attachi's one of those characters we hate to see die off a mysterious illness that nobody can tell us what it is. But I would, in my story, Attachi becomes Hokage in the one I was working on for that one. Because I think that's the only way to pay him back for slaughtering his clan to save the village. Oh, I really, actually, I really liked that. And I think he'd be a great leader. I think he'd be really wise.
00:35:46
Speaker
And it kind of reminds me of my other kind of honorable mention I was thinking of, which is, what if Senku's dad from Dr. Stone had lived and didn't actually die? I feel like two of them would be, I mean, they would single-handedly like change the world. I feel like the world would advance not even just through the Stone Age, you'd probably like acceleratedly get past it in like a couple, probably like in a year.
00:36:14
Speaker
or something crazy if they started from scratch. Oh, that'd be nuts. And the thing I appreciate so much about Dr. Stone too, and I appreciate Senku's dad, was the belief that he knew his son was gonna be revived. Like when he saved the bottle, would they record the recording? Like that's a quality person right there. Agreed. Oh, you guys, Kawan, do you have any other honorable mentions?
00:36:41
Speaker
I do, but I haven't thought all the way through it. I have two, actually. Oh, well, I have one, maybe two. Don't look at those as many as you want, sir. So imagine if... Wait, let me make sure I'm not sounding stupid first. Didn't Merrim die from Hunter x Hunter? Yeah, he died of the poison. Right, okay, so what if he did?
00:37:05
Speaker
Ooh. Ooh. What happens? What happens if he didn't? I don't know yet. Like, I'm honestly certain. That's why I was making that my honor of a mention, because I haven't figured it out yet. I think he would have lost his shit at humanity if you're trying to kill him.
00:37:22
Speaker
No, because I don't think he would have lost his share of the humanity. And I say that because he, it almost seemed like him and Netero had an understanding why they were fighting. Yeah, they was mad aggressive and completely ruthless with each other. But there was a certain level of understanding between the two. He wasn't mad at Netero for trying to whoop his ass. For the most part, it seemed like Merrim understood what was going on. Like, this nigga's a villain. You can't be going out here killing people. He understood consequences.
00:37:51
Speaker
questions and stuff like that. So I'm going to I'm going to I'm going to see if I can put like a happy spin on it. I'm going to say Merrim is shocked by not shocked by he continues to think about like the potential that humanity has ever since he played was a shogi with that girl. Yep. And so he eventually he eventually just becomes an adventurer and
00:38:19
Speaker
Um, I don't, I don't know how this story develops that much, but I'm going to say he's so good gets wind of this nigger and decides to fight him. And then I'm gonna leave it there. Cause I don't know how that would go, but he's so cause I always down for the fight so much. And he's a problematic character, but I love him. It would be interesting to see how you navigate a fight with mirror. Cause like he's always coach, but neither is Mary. I agree. I agree with that. Okay.
00:38:49
Speaker
Okay, Alex, you got another one you wanna throw out there? The only other one I had, and I hadn't, and again, I haven't really fleshed out the storyline that I was thinking of, but what if Huse, Maze Huse from Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood actually lived at the end and got to like, finish his story? That would be really, really involved. I don't know which character Maze was.
00:39:14
Speaker
Oh, he was the one who would snap and, like, create the fire. Well, I thought that was Roy Mustang. Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Did I have the wrong character? I think I got the wrong name, guys. That's what I was talking about. Like, if he'd... Wait. Now I gotta double check. Hold on. Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-
00:39:41
Speaker
Well, while we wait, I will say that if we're going to do a character from Full Metal, I would bring back a villain. I would bring back Envy, because Envy was such a nasty villain. Yes, I actually like that. Or Scar. No, he lived. I keep kidnapping characters that aren't dead. Hey, look, you're consistent. We'll give you that. What if Kuro sensei didn't die?
00:40:07
Speaker
Bro, that's on my list of honorables. I was going to say, they could have figured out a way. They could have figured out a way. I could have gone without that heartache, to be honest with you. That was so sad. Like your students having to kill you? The fuck? So Maze is the one that had the family. I don't know what better way to describe him, but he was just very wholesome.
00:40:31
Speaker
He probably wouldn't make the story change very much, but I was very sad when he died. Hey, side characters matter. Actually, yeah. What if Carl Sensei lived and he started fighting those people in the fucking white robes that gave the other kid tentacles? I forget his name. They made his brother? Yeah, they made Carl Sensei's brother. I don't know why they didn't, because that would have been nice to at least see it get developed.
00:40:56
Speaker
at all to him. And it seems and I agree. And I think that that would have been a dub and very on par for him, like standing up for people and helping them in the kids. Yeah, it makes perfect sense. That's real. I am. For me, the since you took coral off, you took coral off my list. I got to I got to that I can sprinkle in there. I have
00:41:19
Speaker
Escanor, so this is my take, this sucks. Most people, if you watch, you watch Seven Deadly Sins, if you make it past my man Meliodas being a little bit of a freak.
00:41:31
Speaker
you realize that Escanor is an OP character and you gotta love him. The problem is I am such a Meliodas stan that I hate, I hate Escanor so much because he can only beat Meliodas for one minute, within a minute of any other time Meliodas can fight him and wags him. Meliodas in full demon form. I have to say full demon before I give that caveat.
00:41:59
Speaker
And even when they fought during that one minute, from 12 to 1201, he didn't beat Meliodas. Meliodas were just so severely injured from the attack, he lost later. But I want the rest of your survival. I understand the beauty of his sacrifice. I will say for me, the big story, it wouldn't change much of the story, but I would have him and
00:42:28
Speaker
Do you remember her name, the one he was in love with? Oh, Merlin. Merlin, yeah. Merlin. Yeah, I would have had him and Merlin go off happily ever after. Of course. So they both would have retired from the Seven Deadly Sins and gone off. I'm here for your question, sir.
00:42:52
Speaker
Yeah, but I would like to see that. But the only problem is that that would put him in the targets of the seven deadly sins themselves. And I say that because Merlin is really siding with Arthur. And Arthur is supposed to be the new king of whatever the fuck it was. And so it seems like he's now becoming an antagonist, or at least a problem.
00:43:19
Speaker
problem. He's a problem. Yeah. So in this in this version, I Merlin would not actually pursue author or help author. Because remember, I think the thing that will at least I interpreted the thing that blocked her from loving Escanor fully was her seeing the potential of author. So because now she's in love with with Escanor, and she goes off with him happily ever after. You can still have author find a way to to get ascend to that that's title, but it just wouldn't be through Merlin.
00:43:48
Speaker
But I do think, I do hear your point as to them being targets, because I would imagine that people from the demon army and the goddess clan would still pursue Merlin as their only way to stop Arthur from using whatever chaos magic. Yeah, chaos, this one is. Because she's the person that has powers from both. So then it'll kind of be like them on the run.
00:44:15
Speaker
It's kind of cute, a little on the run tour. I don't know. The other character that I had was, ooh, this one's a little petty. It's very petty. Sir Nighteye. I would not have Nighteye die. Instead, I will have that nigga watch as Deku becomes the number one hero because he didn't want Deku to become the number one hero.
00:44:42
Speaker
out of spite, but to be fair, to give that man his credit, he would, like, it would have been better for, at the time, All Might to give his power to Night Eyes student of the big three. I forgot his name.
00:45:01
Speaker
I like him though. Oh, Lamillion. I don't know his actual name though. I know his hero name. It would have been better for Lamillion to get, because could you imagine that man being able to like slip through the ground and pop up and hit you with like a Delaware smash? Like it'd be crazy. It'd be crazy. And you can't even touch him because he in tandem. But I think that, yeah, that would be broken. That would be broken. It would be broken, bro. But, but.
00:45:28
Speaker
Night Eye gave me a little racist vibes. So I want Deku. You little racist. Racist. Now you have to explain. Oh, ma'am. It's my story. Y'all gotta explain. No. The problem I have with... All right. So racist is definitely not the right term. The problem I have with Night Eye was he... The reason he was upset with Deku getting it was because Deku wasn't super abled or quirk abled, right?
00:45:59
Speaker
And it's that, it was the fact that he wanted to put down and kind of degrade people that didn't have quirks, which I kind of get like, you're, if you're a hero, you haven't saved these people, they've become a burden to you. But the gag is All Might didn't have powers either. And he didn't know that.
00:46:17
Speaker
So now, what actually happened, at least the way I interpret it actually happened in the story, was for him talking about all the negatives of Deku, it actually made All Might want to give it to Deku more. Because he's like, this is exactly the position I was in. And it was up to people like, I would never be, I wouldn't have never ascended to All Might. Out of spite, that nigga would be revived just to watch the number one hero of Deku.
00:46:45
Speaker
But also, I'm not sure this is definitely random. Who do you guys think becomes the number two hero from that era? Is it Bakugo or is it Todoroki? Oh, no. I think it's Bakugo, but I think that's too easy.
00:47:08
Speaker
I think he's never gonna do it. Yeah, I was gonna say, I think the way that they developed the characters, at least in the current manga right now, you gotta give it to Todoroki, like as number two, just because Todoroki unlocked, like he's able to, he's able to like merge, again, this is spoilers, but he's able to merge his fire and ice quirks together and form something new. It's like a whole fire or something. It's really interesting.
00:47:38
Speaker
And so I feel like he's set up to have the highest like raw firepower and he's kind of has a defensive and an offensive court and a mobility court that could kind of get him around at the same time. Um, and so he's kind of a utility support character and like, you know, has super high offensive firepower. It's kind of a lot of things at once. Whereas like, I think.
00:48:04
Speaker
I think Bakugo is crazy smart, so his intelligence probably has, not probably, he does have Todoroki B, but I don't actually think that he's
00:48:17
Speaker
got just the raw power way that he would have to overly rely on his. If they made him a crazy support item, perhaps Bakugo could, because I know that they just kind of unveiled that Bakugo has a new support item that allows him to do better explosions.
00:48:36
Speaker
maybe they continue to advance that further and further and that allows him to kind of compete with the firepower, but I don't really think that just off raw ability and just like raw talent, I think you got to give it to Todoroki, you know? I love how thought out that was. I love it.
00:48:58
Speaker
Because I like to stop that. I could go smarter and he has more heart. So I just put like, because he looks, he seems more like endeavor than Todoroki. I said that, that's a hot take. I said it. He does. He's like less likable. He's, he's like kind of a dick to everybody. I mean, in a, in a good way, I guess, if there is one, but like he's, he's, he's a dick. Yeah.
00:49:28
Speaker
Like, he'll save a nigga and be like, get the fuck out the street, bitch, where other people would be like, I'm here to save you, Captain, or Sir, whatever the fuck. You know what I'm saying? Very different. Very different responses. Oh, man. That's hilarious. But you're right. Y'all understand right? All right. All right. Do we have any more honorable mentions? No? No? I do not. All right.
Frustration with Gohan's Character
00:49:51
Speaker
Well, before we pass it on to Kawan for his Gohan moment, I wanted to say that I debated adding L from Death Note, but I remembered that I liked Yagami so much that fuck that nigga L, I'm happy he did. That was the first time I watched where I was rooting for the villain. Of course, it's written for the villain to be the antagonist, but still, I was just like, yeah, no.
00:50:21
Speaker
It's nuts, it's nuts. All right, so come on. We were talking prior to recording about how you're kind of over this late push for Gohan. Like it's too late. It's too late to give Gohan. Oh, yes, yes, yes. I just want to give you a floor to let the world know. Well, this is a very distressing time. Gohan is and has been a bitch for some years now.
00:50:50
Speaker
And so Emerson and I were talking about this and I gave him this example. And so the example I gave him is like, you're at a restaurant. This is a really amazing restaurant, like five stars, Michelin stars, all that good shit. And you get there, you sit down at your table, you get your wine and everything, and you're waiting for your plate. What are your food? You're waiting for your plate. And it's like hours and hours and hours go by.
00:51:14
Speaker
At what point are you not going to want that fucking food no more? And so I acknowledge that with this old Gohan scenario. First of all, first of all, it's their fault because they did this to us. They told us that Gohan was supposed to be like the new wave. And this is back in the sales saga. He was supposed to be like that nigga, period.
00:51:36
Speaker
And it just never happened. And it's now been like six years since we've been waiting for this nigga to get out here eating. And he hasn't. And quite frankly, I don't want this fucking food no more. Give me my money back, God damn it. This is bullshit. I don't like, why? This is terrible. I don't... Yeah, they definitely did not strike while the kettle was hot. What'd you say? Oh, I said, yeah, you're right. They did not strike while the kettle was hot. I feel like also, for us, we grew up with Gohan.
00:52:06
Speaker
You know, like we, yeah, we grew up with Gohan. So we saw that this man take L's and it was devastating. Like he just, he let us, he let it, he let the whole team down y'all. He let it, he let everybody down.
00:52:21
Speaker
It's so sad because I give Gohan a lot. I tried to defend Gohan many a time because in the grand scheme of things, he was trying to do what was right for himself. He wanted to finish school, so he gave up... Hey, hey, stop it. He gave up martial arts and all that stuff. But at the end of the day, his life looks so unfulfilling. I feel bad.
00:52:41
Speaker
So I am with you, though. I love him. My brother here, Ant, made a very good point. He said, Trump's turned out a better saying than Gohan. And I'm like, yeah. Literally. Right? Yeah. There's no excuse. And if you think about it, during the sales saga, I bet any amount of money that Gohan was stronger than Trump's in.
00:53:09
Speaker
any amount of money. He would have waxed trunks. I'm sorry. He would have like future trunks with the sword, all of that, getting done for. Like, I just, like, oh man. Why? Why would they ruin such a good thing? Okay. So do you think, do you think there is any universe, this is for both of you guys, there's any universe where they could rehabilitate his character? And if so, what changes would you make?
00:53:32
Speaker
All of them. Because for me, the only change you can do, the only thing, the legitimately only thing they could do to save Gohan is, and it doesn't make any sense, is give that nigga Ultra Instinct. Yeah, but like- Master Ultra Instinct. Well, they could have made him viable if they get his new form.
00:53:56
Speaker
was equivalent to Super Saiyan Blue. That would put him at the baseline for where power levels are and shit like that right now. That would at least make him a contender. Right now, this nigga is a criminal. He's a bitch-ass nigga.
00:54:18
Speaker
There's not a lie in sight. We talked about this beforehand. And the one thing we mentioned was the writing cop out, right? So this is one thing that always bothers me about like manga or anime is that they have such creative liberties, but they choose to take them at the most random times.
00:54:35
Speaker
So one of the reasons, apparently, that we didn't get a Gohan form or update for a while is because the last update he got, which again, when we were youths, was ultimate Gohan or ultimate form. So they were just like, you can't go up past ultimate.
00:54:50
Speaker
All right, cool. That just seems like a real semantics thing. Because we see Vegeta go to Super Saiyan Blue Beyond because they didn't want to give him Ultra Instinct. We're just still one of the saddest moments ever. Him just getting pummeled into a rock because he's waiting for Ultra Instinct to come, and it doesn't come. But yeah, we've seen them do such crazy things. Even I'm not picking my man, Vegeta. Everybody know Vegeta, my favorite character from Dragon Ball.
00:55:17
Speaker
When Bulma hit Vegeta with a ray to get him to a Super Saiyan level. Remember she had to like hit him with like some machine so she could increase the amount of pressure for him. There are ways we've seen other characters get other forms and it doesn't have to be real. We watched a movie where all of a sudden this man Vegeta got Super Saiyan God.
00:55:38
Speaker
What? We had never once found out how it happened. So I say all this to say there are ways to give Gohan power-ups that are needed. And Kwon, as much as I had to say it, Krillin is, yes, stronger than Gohan in his current state. It's pretty bad. It's pretty, dare I say, dare I say Goten is stronger than him at this current state. Yeah, for sure.
00:56:10
Speaker
But I have high hopes for the movie.
Anticipated Anime Releases
00:56:13
Speaker
The problem I have with anime movies right now, though, I just can't help but compare them to that Demon Slayer movie, man. I can't. Even when I watched Jujutsu Kaisen Zero, I couldn't help but compare it. And it was a different movie. It's trying to do something different. And it was great in its own right.
00:56:35
Speaker
I don't know. I don't know. I mean, Dragon Ball Broly was pretty good. So hopefully they do well with this. But even the CGI characters and stuff that they have going, I don't like it so far.
00:56:45
Speaker
Interesting. You know, what's funny about that is like, I saw the, the Demon Slayer movie in English and I actually was really, I did not like it, but then I saw it in Japanese and it was incredible. And I don't know what, why it made such a big difference for me, but I could not even like, Rengoku was annoying as hell in English.
00:57:06
Speaker
he was it wasn't it didn't it wasn't cute or fun or whatever he was just annoying in english and so it made the movie kind of not as fun to watch until the very end where you were like dang they should have made this whole movie this fight when he wasn't talking
00:57:25
Speaker
I mean, yeah, I was not a fan of him talking. But, but I actually really enjoyed the Jiu Jitsu Kaizen movie. But I also did that correctly in Washington Japanese. So it was I don't know. I don't know. I think they're hard to compare. They are. They are. I did enjoy after I watched both in Japanese. I did enjoy them both for their great movies in their own right.
00:57:49
Speaker
I will say that there are two things in life that can make me cry, like on cue. Fresh Prince Belair, when Will Smith does the, why don't he want me anymore? And Demon Slayer, when Tanjiro is just yelling in the forest as the three demon is running away, and he's just yelling, yeah, I'm out, I'm out, we're tears out. Oh man, it's making me tear right now. It was, yeah, that gets me in the fields every time.
00:58:16
Speaker
Is that the same kind of witch scene? I don't even, what's he talking about? Really the last scene when the sun is rising and Rengoku is trying to hold the third and he finally breaks free and he's running through the forest. And Tanjiro is just screaming at him after throwing his sword. I think for me, the scene that made me cry, like Boo Hoo cry from Demon Slayer was the first time Nezuko unlocked her.
00:58:42
Speaker
blood demon art when she was, when they were all fighting the spider demon. That was, that was crazy to me. We talked about this. You know, I hate that scene.
00:58:52
Speaker
Why? Because immediately afterwards they, you know, let the whole team down and like, they don't actually take out the thing. It means nothing. It means it's visually stunning. And in the very next episode, they're like, yep, psych. Like, what the fuck am I going to do? I think that's my favorite. Well, that's not my favorite part about what made me cry, but it's real. Sometimes like you put all that in and it's like, isn't it? It's not enough. I actually thought that was realistic.
00:59:18
Speaker
I like that to me made it feel that made the impact better. I like shows. It took away the impact for me. I think they were like from the wild like for me, at least with Nezuko, I forgot which demon it was. But the one that had the balls that she kept trying to kick, but it kept breaking her leg. I forgot what you're talking about.
00:59:39
Speaker
But yeah, that made me feel more than the whole fighting that lower five demon or whatever, or even the entertainment district arc. That one made me. Oh, that was great. That had me in the fields a lot, especially homeboy trying to defend his wives. That was quality. That was quality. But demon slayer. That conversation was great. OK, so we never talked about this because we haven't had a show in a while. That run, that demon slayer run,
01:00:09
Speaker
while Attack on Titan was happening. Oh my God, it was crazy. We never talked about it, because that was just top 10. And it really felt like they were trying to one-up each other. But obviously, that couldn't be the case, because they were already recorded. But yeah. That was a peak anime. That was a peak anime season. That was when anime was at its best. Yes. Yes. 100% agree. And I don't even like Attack on Titan. Now it's glued. Mm-hmm.
01:00:38
Speaker
Aaron's still a bitch, by the way. Fuck that nigga. Oh my gosh. I hate him. I hate him. You guys have any, we're about to wrap up with, do you have any anime that you're looking forward to in the fall? Got a big fall coming. Bleach. Thousand year blood arc? Yes.
01:01:04
Speaker
I need Kimpachi's Bankai, because his has by far been, like he's the strongest character period. I think that he could even give the captain of the squad to rep for his money. But his Bankai is by far, I think, the best of all of them.
01:01:18
Speaker
Have you seen it before? Um, I, I believe it's in the manga. I'm pretty sure it is. I love, like, so we, uh, so Alex, one of our classmates from school, Sean, he's a big bleach fan and a conversation me and him like revived every so often is what would be your Bankai command?
01:01:42
Speaker
So I got hyped because I'm going to rewatch like maybe the last hundred episodes or so of Bleach before Blood Ark comes out. But my command would be eviscerate. Eviscerate. Eviscerate.
01:01:59
Speaker
So think about that. Maybe next time we chat, you guys can let us know your commands. But yeah, Bleech is going to go crazy. I picked mine already. I would take it. For sure. The Hey, Captain story. And my, like, my bank guy, like, fucking incantation or whatever, be like, raise everything to the ground. And then the name of the story. Like, Ryujin Jakku, I think, is the name of it. Yeah, raise everything to the ground. And then, you know, pause. And then the name. And then, oh, fuck that. Absolutely. Absolutely. Oh, gosh. I love it. I fucking love it.
01:02:30
Speaker
Cause his Bankai is like fire. Like he literally steams the atmosphere. Like he's that hot. Yeah. No, a hundred percent. I feel like I would want one that was related to water. Like if I had a Bankai, I'd want something that had, that was related to water. And so maybe, maybe it could be drown or something like that could be my incantation. It wouldn't be like the ice though, right? Like the captain with the ice. Yeah. I wouldn't pick ice. I think I would want mine to be more like,
01:02:59
Speaker
more water, just like Katara off of Avatar. Oh, okay. I could fuck with that. I could fuck with that. All right. So just to sprinkle out there, a couple other ones that we know are coming in the fall. You have Mob Psycho 100 Season 3.
01:03:18
Speaker
My Hero Academia, season six. Spy Family. Oh, I watched Spy Family. I'm not sure if you guys watched Spy Family. Love it though. Spy Family see part two of the first season, so about 13 episodes dropping. And Vinland Saga. Yes. Oh, yes. Fire. Let's talk about it. We can talk about it. Because that preview, that preview was, I was all right now.
01:03:45
Speaker
I've been waiting for my young buck to go off and it's about to happen. What, a Thorfans dad lived? I guess there'd be no show. Right. Well, I mean, maybe he comes out of the water. He can swim. I find it hard to believe that that nigga was that OP and a couple arrows took him out.
01:04:03
Speaker
That was more than a couple of arrows, but I get you. You know what I mean. I don't see him leaving his son for this long, though, to make him learn lessons like this. I mean, unless he was going against violence. The enemy father was having another family. If this nigga had another family, then he got to fight Thorfinn, in which case I'm all the way here for it, because I need to see him. OK. And then in terms of other shows, One Piece Red,
01:04:33
Speaker
That movie is going to be crazy. Love Shanks. Always want to know more about that guy. And then you have the slime movie. So you got to be ready, Alex. You got to finish slime before the movie comes out. Is there a season two? Yeah. Oh, season two is where it's at. Season two is where it's at. Oh, yay! I'm excited. Hey, come on.
01:04:59
Speaker
That's like literally the most lit scene ever. And you know how I feel about Hunter x Hunter. Like my favorite scene in the anime of all time is that Hunter x Hunter when Chrollo tells the Phantom Truth just unleashed hell and they just go crazy in the streets just shooting everybody. The, yeah. Slime almost rivals it with Rumuru and Megiddo, but that's not a spoiler. That's just something you should know.
01:05:27
Speaker
I will say that, um, I feel like we got robbed a bit. Cause like Remu seemed really pissed. Remu was supposed to have a rage moment and I don't think it was as ragey as I would have liked it to be. But I thought, I thought it was good ragey. I thought it was ragey in the sense that he, like we talked about before, he's like such a calculated character.
01:05:50
Speaker
It's rage, but in his way because he also understands if he completely loses it, he will use up all his magic and then he would die.
01:05:59
Speaker
That's the point, though. That's rage. Like, I feel like a character does not hit that point until they hit that point. Like, that's what Gon did. And that's what made his rage moment. Oh, that's a rage moment. That was a berserker moment. You want animalistic qualities. Yes. Rage moment. Let's go with that. OK. Yeah, OK. I think Gon was a berserker. Gon went off on that one particular person. She had the key to open that box. Only her.
01:06:27
Speaker
Don't. Punching a corpse. Yeah, Pito's a guy, which is really wild. But yeah. Like, OK, punching a corpse, yes. That's your personality. Or, or, or, hear me out. Hear me out. That's like, that's just, I think that's just expressing the levels of like, fuck you that Don had for Pito. Because like, Pito was the only person that had the key to open that box, right? And I just, I don't.
01:06:57
Speaker
Don't still seem like Killua could stop him. That's one reason that's indicative of it not being a... Because he would have attacked Killua if that was a berserker moment. He looked at him and started crying. I think that that was very targeted. I would call that a regional match. I think that was very targeted. That was very to the point. It was only one person that was going to get this work, and they got all of every single... He left nothing on the table, which is... I can't blame him for it.
01:07:21
Speaker
after losing an arm too, he threw an arm through. He threw it enough. Like what? Yeah, that was pretty wild. But can we talk about how, to be fair, this is, I'm kind of stealing from Alec with this one because he didn't die technically, but the story changed. He should have just attacked Pito when Pito was healing Shorty.
01:07:43
Speaker
Nah, because he's, but that's another reason it's, I agree. That's another reason that's not a berserker moment because he had enough self-control to like hold himself down. And he even threatened to kill the person that P2 was trying to heal, but didn't actually do it. It was really just to get P2 to hurt the fuck up. Like I don't have time. He about to catch his fate. Let's go. Yeah.
01:08:06
Speaker
Yeah, I will say my favorite thing about reading subtitles versus the English, if you watch the English dub of it, it doesn't have the same, like, Pito while walking into the forest was like, Gone's power might be on par with Meruem, but they don't say that in the English dub version. Oh, that's trash. So I was just like, ooh, I like this. Well, I only know that because I rewatched that fight scene so many damn times, because it's so cold.
01:08:38
Speaker
It's like the him in all black, the black silhouette, and the white eye circles. Oh, gosh. Well, we'll leave it there. Long live gone. I can't. I hope they get back around to that. Well, the mangakai is writing again. So, you know, I realized that they're under a lot of pressure, but I also realized that I have needs.
01:09:07
Speaker
Hasn't he taken a hiatus for like several years though? I know he's gone through a lot, but I think, you know, this doesn't feel like a neglectful or negligent thing to think he can write again now. Or like abusive thing. That's fair. I just never like to put pressure on people. You never know how much time it takes for somebody to recuperate from something. Very true.
01:09:36
Speaker
But yeah, man, it's great. It was a great chat with you guys. And we'll have a fair topic for next time. No more death. It's gonna be back about life. All right, y'all have a good night. Deuces. Bye.
01:10:00
Speaker
Colder than freeze, I'm protecting my own like cocoa and Vegeta This is my story, pain and the glory Taking it black, all of my territory Black are the berry, the sweet are the chips Stock are the flesh, deep as the roots of my life Sister, prove that I rock with melanin, just get you by, forget Laughing in the face of danger, flexing my guts and the eye of defeat I am the voice of the night, of all of my people, unleashing the power in me Deep in my genes, this is my destiny, this is my legacy Won't get the best of me, don't cook correctly
01:10:29
Speaker
I miss the compress, I'm makin' moves inside lands in the shadow Like oh god, gave my brother, can you pass me the wasabi Nigga, I'm black as fuck and proud of it, I won't be modest, no Ain't no blockin' me, I overcome every obstacle
01:10:46
Speaker
Like a rose out of the concrete, I accomplished the impossible Like a rockin' bakugo, yeah, I'm unstoppable Still I rise from the ashes, Mama taught me never settle And if I can handle all that I got down, I'm made for metal Melaninjas, yeah, yeah, my Melaninjas Black as my skin,
