Hello, my beautiful Meloninjas. I'm one of your hosts, Alex, along with Emerson and Kawan, and we are the Meloninjas. We're switching it up a little bit today, so I'm going to take lead because we're going to do a very unique episode for the holidays.
Anime Characters Under the Mistletoe: Love and Humor
00:01:13
Speaker
We talk all things anime. We aren't experts, just very passionate anime fans who are happy to give their opinions and perspectives on various topics.
00:01:22
Speaker
So kicking us off today, we're talking about anime characters that we'd like to see and meet under the mistletoe. This is the spirit of giving, and we're talking about giving folks that work. Man, I wish I have not had anything yet.
00:01:45
Speaker
Oh, I like the gift though. She hopeful. She like that. A nice glass of wine in the holiday season. It's in the spirit. No eggnog. I don't know. I've had good eggnog once, but I've had hit or miss experiences with eggnog. Are we talking about the drink or something else? Is there more than the drink for eggnog? I dropped my headphones and I heard y'all talking about good experiences and I got lost. I was like, what the hell?
00:02:15
Speaker
No, no, no, not there. Okay. I don't know how far we got because you were talking about, you know, you've been talking about loving people all day. So I feel you're ready for this episode. Well, y'all need to catch up because this is what this whole episode is about. It's all about love, man. I'm going to pass it off to Emerson. You can go first. Let us know. All right, Alex. I appreciate that. I appreciate that. I like that you made it characters plural because, you know, I got a list.
00:02:45
Speaker
I'm gonna start off with one of my favorite characters ever.
Emerson's Favorite Anime Characters
00:02:52
Speaker
In Bleach, of course, Yurichi. I would love to see her under the mistletoe. She's so swaggy. I mean, she is old. She's very old. She's a spirit reaper. A soul reaper. So, you know, it's fine. She got that youthful suberance. Same show. I could catch her under the mistletoe too. Hey, look.
00:03:13
Speaker
We can have a party. Let's have a party under the mistletoe. Masamoto, Lieutenant, she can get it. She can always get it. And she's so nice and caring. That's what I like. But I also like a little crazy sometimes, as Quan knows. So I'm gonna put Easedeth from Akamega Kill.
00:03:38
Speaker
So she's, she's a little bat shit, but like, I respect how passionate she is about the people she cares about, but she is a little dangerous. So, you know, outside of her though, I would also put, you know, a safer bet, like Winry from Fullmetal Alchemist Broken Hand. That's a good choice. I love her. You know, look, I love her too. You know, I just think I love her commitment.
00:04:05
Speaker
the whole time. And I think that she, that whole, like one of my favorite anime scenes in general is just like that last scene of Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood when she's like, they're talking about when he proposes. And they're like, she's like, oh, I can give you all of my heart. Well, actually, no, I can give you like 70% of my heart.
00:04:26
Speaker
Actually, it's 70 too much. No, it's not enough. I'll give you 85. No, no, no, no, 60. I just love that whole scene. It just shows how thoughtful she is. But she's also still about her business. I like Cece from Code Geass. She's another person. I really like women that are about their business. And she's a writer, died for Lelouch, but she's also like, I got to get mine too.
00:04:54
Speaker
So she like does her own mission, she don't take no shit from him, even though they con are both in need of each other. And then wrapping it up, I think the show that has the most baddies. Oh my gosh, I can't even, okay, carry on. I'm gonna go with Black Clover. Ooh. Yeah, yes, he is. That is not what I thought you were gonna say.
00:05:19
Speaker
You know, I'm a wholesome man, wholesome man, Alex. So from there though, I got a three piece, a three piece. Two from the Blue Rose Knights though. Charlotte, you know, Captain Charlotte, baddie. She can get it. Hopefully her roses don't kill me though. You know, I'm not sure if I'm cool enough like Yami to break the curse, but I'll try.
00:05:45
Speaker
Soul, which I'm not sure if she's like for this team, but if she is for this team, I'm here for it. I don't think she's, I think she's playing for the other team. I think she's playing for the other team as well, but you know what? I am hopeful. And lastly, I'm definitely going to butcher her name, but you know, I love the Crimson Lions. Marilyona. Yeah, yeah.
00:06:13
Speaker
I like a nice stern woman. And you know, she's gonna eat you up. There's gonna be a lot of eating if you know what I mean. Oh my gosh. You know, I love her. I thought you were Mr. Wholesome. I still gotta eat. I still need my nutrition. Oh my gosh. Go on, make him stop. All right. All right, Kawhi. No, no, Alex, we gotta hear your list, Alex.
00:06:41
Speaker
No! Like, I can't follow that. I'm disturbed. I can't do it right now. Just please, someone save me. It's not gonna be Marilena. She's gonna be occupied. Oh my god! Get stuck! Come on! Help! He abandoned me in my time of need. He definitely abandoned you.
00:07:09
Speaker
But no, I want to hear your list because I don't think a lot of people hear the women's perspective of characters that they like in anime. Well, actually, I don't think a lot of people just in general hear from women in terms of anime, but especially in terms of just people's interest in what makes a character interesting to them or why they would want to be with a character. So yeah, I want to hear some people you got on your list.
Alex's Anime Crushes
00:07:35
Speaker
OK.
00:07:37
Speaker
Okay, so okay, I first have to start with like, if we're going to talk about my hero academia, I know, no, okay, let me put this out there first. I mean, this is, you know, I am going to put characters from all genders on here, because there's lots of swag characters. And again, this is all about love. So, you know, take it with what you will. But I was going to say you got to start with Himiko from my hero academia.
00:08:01
Speaker
from the league of villains or i guess they change names now but himiko she she she's definitely controversial but you know you might you might die but she seems like she'd be fun you know a fun time most of you have on there though from from mh mh
00:08:20
Speaker
don't have too too many characters from MHA. But there's a plethora though. I mean, there are but I think I mean, for me, I guess if I'm going to pick the characters for the ladies, I got to start with my man Inuyasha because for some reason I find him so insanely swag like I he can catch me under the mistletoe any day. Like, excuse me, is it his dog ears?
00:08:46
Speaker
something about his ears, but I just like his voice actor in both Japanese and English and like his, the way that he always drops everything that he can and just like goes after the women he loves. Now granted, hopefully that woman is, I hope I'm, I hope I'm the Kikiyo and definitely not the Kagome in the situation because I mean, while they were both around, we know who he preferred. That's for sure.
00:09:08
Speaker
But I just love how Inuyasha loves and he goes hard and he shows it in his actions rather than his words. He says it in his words sometimes, but those actions, man, they speak volumes. So I really bang with Inuyasha. So next person I can catch under the mistletoe has got to be my man, Vegeta, because first of all, Vegeta, we all know how he loves him some Bulma.
00:09:33
Speaker
Okay, he married man, a married man, Alex. Okay, come. Okay, come for me. Like, no, Vegeta, I don't do we know if they're married? I actually don't know. I know that they're paired. But do we know that they're actually married? I don't actually know if we know. I don't know if they married. But given how long the seat this show has been, and the fact that they lived in the same jurisdiction, the whole show, that is common law marriage.
00:10:00
Speaker
Oh my God, you're gonna hit me with the legal knowledge, sir? Okay, but I can't fight you on that. I think it's assumed and it's pretty obvious that they're married. But Vegeta can get it, okay? Vegeta can get it all day. Next part, and he can go Super Saiyan. That would be even better. Maybe Super Saiyan God. It'd be fun, you know? Oh my gosh. What the hell? I'm just saying, like, you know, like he can go through levels. Like, we can go through levels with this.
00:10:29
Speaker
I had to put Frieza on here next because he does something different for me. You know, I don't really know what's going on with Frieza, but I just, this genderless, you know, entity is very interesting. So I got regular, regular Frieza, definitely golden Frieza. And you know, he's got his tail. I'm sure that can do things.
00:10:55
Speaker
definitely going to put my Golden Frieza up there. Let's see. Oh, a special shout out to this is not really an anime, but it's one is an anime in my book. So for the purposes of this conversation, it is an anime. But I have to go with my man Zuko from from from what does that show man from Avatar The Last Airbender.
00:11:15
Speaker
Zuko is, I mean, he can, I mean, he's got fire and he just has so much, oh, yeah, Zuko, Zuko, you can catch me under the mistletoe. I didn't know that we were able to count last Airbender, so I was gonna throw Azula on my list.
00:11:32
Speaker
Yeah, you can keep Zula. I'll take Zuko any day. I'll take my Fire Nation leader at this point. So I definitely take him. Let's see. I got Grimjow because what? I mean, Grimjow is freaking just the goat. He drips in so much sweat. We talked about him several times across our podcast, but man, Grimjow,
00:11:59
Speaker
He can catch me under the mistletoe. I mean, he might bite me, but it's cool. Let's see, we got Bakugo because what? Y'all, like, I'm not even gonna lie. Like, I said it last time, but I'm telling you, like, I straight up had dreams about Bakugo. Like, he can catch it any day, okay? Bakugo. He starts sweating, it's over for you. Excuse me? He starts sweating, it's over for you, you know? He's just saying, explosive? That might be more fun, man. It's like pop rocks.
00:12:29
Speaker
Oh, God. That would be fun. I'm with it. I'm with it. Alex, I have the utmost respect for you. Don't let anyone ever tell you you're not a good woman. That's it. I see that motion.
00:12:49
Speaker
And let's see, who else do I got up here? Oh, you've got to put Captain Yami up here because, excuse me? Like Captain Yami is just everything that you want in a masculine character, man. Like just yes to Captain Yami. I mean, I don't know. Ever see me, I have a hard time because Yami might be hanging out with me. I mean, Sharla might be hanging out with me and Yami. You might have a hard competition with that one.
00:13:14
Speaker
Oh my gosh, you're not going to help your co-hosts.
Kawan's Strong and Unique Anime Picks
00:13:18
Speaker
I'm not going to, I mean, I might, you know, I might pass you a layup, but. Throw me an ooper, son. It's the season for giving, ma'am. Okay, okay. You already got a married man, which you, you don't need. Y'all me too. Oh my gosh. Okay. Uh, who else do I got up here? Um, let's see. Hmm.
00:13:39
Speaker
Oh, I have to put it up with Kirito, but I'd have to get in line because he's got this whole freaking harem thing going on, which I'm not a fan of, but he cool. Also, just some honorable mentions. It is the season of giving. You got to give a little bit of something. I feel bad for my man Mineta from My Hero Academia. He could catch me on the mistletoe. I'll give him a little kiss. He's cool. Oh, you are a saint.
00:14:05
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, he, I think it wouldn't take much, you know? It wouldn't take much, he just would be happy. And, you know, our boy Krillin takes all those L's all the time, so you gotta, he can meet me under the mistletoe, it's cool. We can- Another married man, there's a theme.
00:14:18
Speaker
Okay, you know what, I can't even, you know what, no, this is even more of a testament to how sad it is that there's so many unmarried female characters, so I can't roast you on. That's really what this is more so telling of. The male characters get what they want, they get their needs met, but our female, these male, there's just fewer options. However you wanna rationalize your reckless behavior, ma'am. Whatever. Whatever. All right, so I think we got one, we gotta run through another list here, so I pass it, pass the mic.
00:14:49
Speaker
of what you want me to follow. Hell no. I'm not doing it. No, you left me out to dry what I was trying to give it to you earlier when Emerson was out here talking crazy and I could be alone. Not talking crazy. No, Emerson was talking straight crazy. I don't know it. I don't know. You might be a little bit crazier than Emerson. That's what I'm saying. I'm about to chill in the hot spring.
00:15:16
Speaker
Uh-uh. You under the mistletoe throwing asses in circles and stuff. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Making an Italian impersonation. No, uh. No, uh. But it is your turn. Yeah. I guess. Oh, boy. It's darn. It's darn. We like that. Yes, ma'am. I'm going to throw it at you. I'm going to throw it at you. I'm going to throw it at you.
00:15:46
Speaker
is Mira Jane from Fairytale. I don't know if you remember her, that was, she was the one who used like beast magic. I feel like that would be useful. I feel like we could have some fun. You know, just a lot rougher than probably you would ever normally get. I also have S-Death from A Comment Got Killed because I don't know, there's something about how cool she is. And no pun intended, cause she got that ice magic. Yeah, but like,
00:16:16
Speaker
She would eat her young. There's something about that. That actually really speaks to me, because I have a friend who's one of my friends. Her fish, definitely the children, the baby fish, definitely ate their mother. So that's crazy. Her and Marilona are probably on the same level to me. Those women are just different.
00:16:44
Speaker
But I'm going to switch it up just a little bit. Because I also like, you remember Canary from Hunter x Hunter? Uh-huh. You know what I'm saying? The butler with the puffy hair? Yeah. Tell me she was. Like, under the mistletoe. Definitely. Like, what's up? I have no game. Let me stop. I lied to you all. Kawhi has the most games. No, I don't.
00:17:13
Speaker
as he rides off on his motorcycle. Now, what are you talking about? Another one I have to throw out there is probably Tsunade. She just seems generally fun. She can be whoever you wanted her to be, too. With her transformation. Yeah, but like, almost... Alex be role playing, clearly. But listen, listen, listen. We're talking about Naruto. What about sexy Yutsu?
00:17:41
Speaker
We talking about your life now, Alex. What about your Jutsu? No. I'm confused with that question. Alex, what are you proposing? I mean, set up a Jutsu Naruto. I mean, that's still Naruto. I cannot do that. I mean, it's a female, though. He runs out of chakra mid-session. I mean, he's got plenty. Allegedly. Oh, he has plenty. He's probably more stamina than us all.
00:18:09
Speaker
Bro, you know what, Alex- He was tired, he just threw on another shadow clone. Bro, Alex would probably put a seal on the chakra and then send him your way in his Africa. I don't know, man. I don't know. Oh, boy. Anyone who could use shadow clones, that would be interesting. I mean, now we're definitely saying shadow clones home to Hinata.
00:18:39
Speaker
Damn, that's after all, boy. That's really true. I wonder how that works. When the shadow clone is done, does it just do the poof and then it's gone or like? No. That's that stuff that Emerson be talking about before. That's like how long to help.
00:19:10
Speaker
You already talked about Vegeta giving you every level of saying that he has. Right. I mean, that would be fun. You wish that there was a female. No, you guys wish that Khalifa could do it. Oh, I would definitely clap Berserker Khalifa now.
00:19:29
Speaker
So don't even give me that, like don't even give me that. She could get you through some levels too. But we both said, as this who killed 400,000 people in one, like one move, you know, she got ours. I'm gonna pick like an actual nice person, but it's not, so I'm gonna steal something along out. I'm gonna hop on Alex's vein and I'm gonna pick a married person.
00:20:00
Speaker
Pick who? I didn't hear you. I said I'm going to pick a married person. OK. Damn. Oh, well, I'm mad I asked you to repeat that. You started this, Alex. So this is technically your fault. You started the infidelities. Do you remember, honey, you remember Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood, the woman who taught the Elric brothers alchemy? Is Zumi credit? Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know if you don't got no guts, though, right?
00:20:30
Speaker
I mean, I don't want kids right now, so. I have to say, you can't hypothetically be in guts if she don't got no money. Yeah, I know. Oh, my God. You have to make it so dark. Jeez. Oh, boy. I mean, I'm sure that this, I don't know how that, I don't know how the plumbing works there. That's outside of my jurisdiction, so I'm going to leave that one alone. Moving on, you remember, have you seen the assassination classroom?
00:21:00
Speaker
Uh-huh. Do you remember Irena Jelovich? She's like the blonde haired American teacher or whatever? Yup. The one that teaches them all the assassination tricks. Yeah. She a baddie. She can kill me anytime. She can play piano before she does it too. Oh my gosh. Just send me on my way. You're going to be playing Staircase to Heaven.
00:21:24
Speaker
Yeah, someone that I think y'all are sleeping on, though, we're talking about like a wholesome, genuinely, like just good character. And, you know, no one call the you know, no one call the police, because I'm pretty sure almost every character we're talking about on here is under like 80. But anyway, I'm just not on my list. What?
00:21:43
Speaker
I don't even believe watch like even Mario Leona is probably not even 18 because you know they make these characters like hella young but but I was gonna say uh from your line April Kyrie or Kyrie
00:21:59
Speaker
She she's cute. She's so I mean, like that first scene where you see her standing on the, like standing up and playing her music and then the literally the color comes in like the animation like I mean, I damn near fell in love with this chick when I first saw her to like it was insane. They did such a good job with that with that. I mean, she was it was beautiful. So no longer living. But I mean, hey, her spirit can catch me under the mistletoe. For it. That's some Bobby
00:22:28
Speaker
Alex, we gotta talk about your house. So you guys have to get creative. We are in anime. Look, you don't want to ask me to be creative now. Let me go ahead and- No! Like, okay. And we're going to avoid all tentacle tropes at all costs, please. You're the one that started a tale. You wanted to know what Golden Red is in a tale. But it's not a tentacle, it's different. Oh my gosh, you're still an appendage.
00:23:02
Speaker
Oh my gosh. All right, come on. Come on. Let's hear you guys. I don't know what to say. I'm honestly stuck. Send help.
00:23:24
Speaker
I think I have to throw one more out there. And this is like an old school pig. And it's coffee from Cowboy Beba.
00:23:34
Speaker
She like, she'll give you some of that like Pam, Greer, Foxy, Brown, nappy-headed loving. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, oh my goodness. My heart can't take this anymore. Yeah, that's about all I got, didn't you? I like it though. I love the thoughtfulness of the list. Oh yeah, yeah. Can we run back My Hero Academia though, Alex?
00:24:04
Speaker
Run it back? Okay. Because there were some characters that I just I'm trying to think of. What's her name? The one that's the Mount? Mount? Mount Lady? Mount Lady, she can get it. Oh, yeah. A lot of lady to give, but you need to find a lot of lady to give, but she can change size. It'll be fine. We're gonna make that one work. Midnight? Oh my gosh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Midnight, you know, she's thick.
00:24:30
Speaker
She's thickums. We like thickums. I have to hold on to. What's her name? I don't remember her name. She's in class one. She's the one that can create stuff out of her mind. Yayorozu? Right? Is it? Yeah, Yayorozu. Yayorozu. Yeah, that's fun. She gonna bring toys to the festivities. Oh my gosh.
00:24:54
Speaker
You know, hey, you can't say anything. You talked about Tails. I'm trying to see anybody else from that show. That was crazy. I feel like Ooraka. Oh, yeah. I can imagine some zero gravity beam. Oh, you would be all the way in the back. Oh, my God.
00:25:14
Speaker
But she's so vanilla. I don't know. I couldn't do anything for her. Definitely. I mean, at least one time, though. What? Yeah, it's going to get boring eventually. But like, you know. Look, Suyu? The Frogling? Yes, I would, absolutely. I'm sorry. I mean, that's a lot of tongue. We're talking about beating under the mistletoe. I don't know. I mean, mistletoe's about kissing. Yeah, so I said that's a lot of tongue there. Like, I don't know. Nothing wrong with that. You can tell it, though.
00:25:45
Speaker
I'll definitely, definitely would do that. I'm trying to think. That's all I got for my hero academia. I just wanted to put out there that my hero academia has an exceptional list. What about the acid girl? What about the acid girl? I don't want to die.
00:26:06
Speaker
There's no telling if all of her, nevermind, I'm gonna stop. You know, Alex got a little crazy with the sweat, so you know what, fuck it. I mean, it might be a little pain, a little pleasure. Who knows if it's like acid there too, is all I'm saying. That's the moral of the story.
00:26:34
Speaker
There's only one way to find out. Basically. We love an adventure. Oh, from Naruto, Ino? Ino? Yeah. She can read your thoughts. She gonna be reading exactly what I'm doing. I'm very simple.
00:27:01
Speaker
I can't think of anybody else, though, trying to think. I think my list was pretty accurate. Oh, whoa, whoa. I am bugging. Absolutely. Mikasa, absolutely. She don't talk, though. At least I don't. Ain't nobody going to know. That doesn't do for me either. When the character doesn't have any personality, just kind of limp noodle, ugh.
00:27:27
Speaker
But for me, it's her actions and how committed she is. She is super committed to whatever her cause is, so I like that. Also, you mentioned Cowboy View Up earlier, Faye Valentine, of course, got to. Yeah. How did I forget that? I had someone in mind, but they're escaping me right now. So when it comes back, I'll let y'all know.
00:27:51
Speaker
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm golden, but you guys are going to remember her, I hope. The woman in Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood that ran the North. Yeah, the two, like, was the head. Oh, the blonde hair. The blonde hair, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. A brother was the dude who, like, punched the steel and turned it into, like, nails and stuff.
00:28:18
Speaker
Exactly. And then she's like bodied him with a single punch. Her. Yes. Add that to my list. I'm consistent. We love a mistletoe. Y'all are crazy. We're collectively crazy. I'll take that.
00:28:47
Speaker
Yeah, that's all I got. I didn't put nobody from One Piece on, because it's not all about the busty girls.
Game Time: 'Smash or Pass' with Anime Characters
00:28:54
Speaker
I'm pretty sure you didn't put them on, because all the characters on that show's designs are trash. Yeah, but I mean, the bodies are stupid. Oh, actually, because we're talking about this episode, which is, Kawana, you caught up on Fire Force? I mean, yes, no, they definitely have some baddies in that.
00:29:16
Speaker
Yeah, he's on that for sure. But I was just going to say, one of my favorite moments this year in anime, maybe at least, I think like half of that episode was about it, was that episode where Old Boy from the white clad was training himself to fight against the leechery. Mm hmm.
00:29:38
Speaker
You know what I'm talking about? He was watching everything and he kept meeting up with, he went to the strip club and he was like, I'm not going to touch her. I'm not going to do everything possible. And then he still lost every time. Yeah, but it's a hard life to live. I don't know. Hard life to live, but I just thought that was like one of my favorite, like it was the perfect like comedic relief because he took it seriously. And it's fitting because she, I would definitely meet her under the mistletoe.
00:30:07
Speaker
That's probably your best chance to get lucky under them, honestly. What we should do is like play a version of like smash or pass. Just like read a whole bunch of anime characters off and just see what we will we were they fall. All right. I'm down for it. You say no word.
00:30:29
Speaker
Okay. Okay. So give me a second. I'm going to pull it together. Well, let's, we can just pick from the list that you want to start with our list, what we have for our new initial term. That works for me. Well, if we do that, essentially we're saying we'll smash everybody. I'll be a different list now, sir. Okay. Well, I can't wait for the first one where there's disagreement.
00:31:01
Speaker
Let's see. You can't really disagree because it's somebody else's taste. That's real. But you could be like, I personally wouldn't do it. I'm just kidding. I have to find. Give me a second.
00:31:28
Speaker
Okay, so we'll start with Itachi. Smash or pass Itachi? Yes. Me? Yeah. I'm going to say hard pass. Excuse me? But I will put this out there. If he uses his shower gun to give me an illusion that I...
00:31:57
Speaker
Oh my God. Y'all are such babies. Okay. Fair enough. Fair enough. You're right. So you're saying if he puts you under like an infinite Sukiyomi or something, you could, you could do it. Yeah. But in the inside of that, I would have to be seeing like, you know, Tsunade or some shit. Okay. Cool.
00:32:28
Speaker
Is that are we gonna accept that answer absolutely that's fully within his abilities What do you mean? That's my politically correct answer Well, no, that didn't count my politically correct answer
00:32:51
Speaker
No, I feel like, because I feel like Alex is going to criticize me for not being honest. So it's something right that I criticize Emerson for not being honest first. Fair enough. Objectively speaking, objectively speaking, if I were a woman, Atachi, I would, I would smash Atachi, but I'm not a woman. So there's that. Okay. Go on. I agree.
00:33:18
Speaker
Okay, next. You don't have to stand alone in this little weird bubble. Well, I would definitely say yes, definitely. He can meet me on the mistletoe. Even though he's not married? Oh my gosh, get out. Okay, even though he's not married? Really? Really? Okay, next, we're gonna go with Ryuk from Death Note. Nah. It's a note for me, fam.
00:33:51
Speaker
I mean, he's got a little swag, but I think I also pass. Okay. Let's go with. Very like Pennywise the clown swag. It's not okay. Hanji from Attack on Titan. Nah. The only, again, if I were a woman, the only person on Attack on Titan, for real, probably would be Levi.
00:34:21
Speaker
Yeah, Levi for sure. Maybe Kenny, but Kenny gonna walk out on me after the next morning. Kenny's... Just Levi. He seems like he has some morals. Oh my gosh. What about you, Kwon? Who are we talking about? Hange from Attack on Titan.
00:34:51
Speaker
Uh, nah. Uh, if I was, if I was the one, it'd have to be that, uh, who's the colossal Titan? Which, well, there's like been a couple of different ones. Are we talking about bird told or are we talking about Armin or the ones before them? No, I don't remember his name. Regardless, no, pass. Okay. Okay. Okay. Dobby.
00:35:20
Speaker
From My Hero Academia? Oh, he's swaggy as fuck. I forgot about him. Yeah, but I want to get burned. Dobby would probably have to get it, honestly. Yeah, Dobby can get it. Or should I say, spoiler alert, y'all, Toya Todoroki. Okay, so...
00:35:48
Speaker
Nobody. Nobody. We got crickets. That's cool. That's cool. Okay. Yeah, not totally working. Well, he definitely is. Toya. What about Hinata? This is benign one. Oh, absolutely. Really? I want to hear those gentle palms. Oh my gosh, like Neji and his little weak, gentle palms. What about you, Kwon?
00:36:18
Speaker
Oh, absolutely. Okay. Like the massage would be amazing. Are you serious? Like anybody who got a fighting move called gentle poems and she's like hitting all my chocolate points and my cheese flow points and stuff. Hell yeah. She can tickle me silly. Diane from from
00:36:42
Speaker
A fairy tale. That's not right. From, oh my gosh, Seven Dearly Sins. Excuse me. Absolutely. Easily. What? The game's on that one. I hate how stupid she is though. I can agree with that. I don't know if I know I got a pass. I'll take come on. I'll take come on serving as well. A couple more, a couple more. What about Merlin from the same show?
00:37:10
Speaker
Yes, absolutely. Merlend's not her magic form, not her real form. Oh, Jesus. What about Riza Hawkeye from Fullmetal Alchemist? That's a no from me. That's a no from me.
00:37:39
Speaker
Actually, that's a yes for me. She's been down for a minute. Okay. Yeah. You have to explain why you said no, Emerson. I just, I just feel like she's too committed to sir Mustang. Um,
00:37:57
Speaker
Well, hypothetically, if she wasn't, you know, if she wasn't, if she wasn't, I would say yes, especially being that this is not mine. That's too far.
00:38:11
Speaker
I was going to say because we know she has a high pain tolerance. Oh my gosh. I stopped myself and you provoked me to say it, damn it. No, yeah, outside of in a world without Mustang, absolutely, but she's so caught up with Mustang, I would just feel like a piece of meat being used. I mean. I have feelings too. Bullshit.
00:38:40
Speaker
You are highly emotional people. I know we are. Okay, I got two more for you guys. So the next one is Jeriah. Yes.
00:38:58
Speaker
Yes. Yeah. Pretty much. Okay. I thought there'd be more debate on that one more. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's like that. That's the exception. Like we were good on that. Oh my gosh. So if you don't like dumb characters, what about Sailor Moon herself? I think I'll pass. Oh.
00:39:28
Speaker
Did you answer Emerson? I didn't hear if he did. Oh, I'm quizzity clapping. Oh, my gosh. I got one for you. I think you're alike, Alex. OK. Have you seen Black Butler yet? I don't think so. I feel, I don't think so. Let me see. No, I have not. Oh. I was going to say Sebastian, but
00:39:58
Speaker
We can't talk about that one just yet, I guess. Okay, okay. Not sure what that means yet, but I will pocket that for later. I feel like he's a dude that'd be right up your alley after you've seen the show.
00:40:16
Speaker
What is that? What is a dude right up my alley? What are the qualities of a dude right up my alley?
00:40:36
Speaker
Ooh, you know, it's getting kind of late, guys. We should, uh, brace for that. Oh my gosh, really? I get certain impressions about, like, the level of emotional wherewithal that someone who talks to Alex is supposed to have. And I feel like
00:40:55
Speaker
Well, first of all, he's a cool character, but I feel like given how Alex talks and how our conversations have been and how conscious she is of emotions and how things are received and taken and so on and so forth, I feel like this character would particularly ring her bell.
00:41:12
Speaker
Not like that, but like, I didn't mean to say, like it was a phrase like, oh my goodness, this is going to be great. No, I actually, no, I'm with that. I actually, I can, I can, I agree. I like that. Okay. So I'll give you a breakdown. The characters like this old demon, but because of his age, he's like not, he knows so many things, whether they're spoken or unsaid, whether it's said or unsaid. And so I feel like that, like that level of like emotional wherewithal, I feel like that would be something that you would like.
00:41:42
Speaker
OK, I mean, I think you'd be right. So I have to check it out, really. Now I really have to check it out. How do y'all feel about Asuna from from you probably don't even watch Sword Art Online, but yes, I do. Oh, I'm still behind. But yes, yes, I would as well.
00:42:07
Speaker
Sweet. Well, I think that was a very fruitful round of smash or pass or meet me under the mistletoe or pass.
Reflecting on Anime Crushes and Holiday Spirit
00:42:16
Speaker
Whatever is more wholesome. Oh, I'm sorry, y'all. I have to do one more round. Rukia Kuchki. Rukia. Absolutely. No.
00:42:31
Speaker
Wait, let me make sure I'm thinking about the right person. Itchigo his powers, right? Yes, exactly. No, no, there's so many other, like, better captains. There are, there are. As you heard from my list, there are. However, I would partake. Hitsu guys, Lute? Yes, Masumoto.
00:42:53
Speaker
Yeah, absolutely. Nah, Rukia though, nah. I completely agree with you, Kwon. Rukia does not do it for me at all. Yes. I've never really liked him. I've never liked her as a pair for Ichigo or anything. I've just never been a fan of Rukia. Hey man, it's the season for giving. Sometimes you gotta give. It's all about receiving. Oh my gosh. And apparently, some give more freely than others.
00:43:23
Speaker
I'm a starboard of all. I'm particularly generous, but hey, I said Mineta, so I can't even. Hey look, friendship is essential to the soul, and I'm just trying to be friends with these women. Apparently you require guts to be a part of it. I feel something. You say I've got to feel something? Yeah.
00:43:53
Speaker
Fantastic. And on that note. Happy holidays. You're nasty. Yeah, that's what we should end up with. Well, happy holidays all. Merry Christmas and happy new year.
00:44:24
Speaker
Yes, happy holidays, season's greetings. Y'all sound like y'all straight off a Hallmark card.

Ice in my veins, colder than freeze I'm protecting my own like cocoa and vegeta This is my story, pain in the glory Taking it back all of my territory Black at the berry, the sweet at the gym Stock at the flesh, deep as the roots of my life Since the truth that I rock with melanin, just get you by for ya Laughing in the face of danger, flexing my guns And I am 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
