Introduction and Focus on Anime
00:00:09
Speaker
Every story, every battle, every model, every child, every dream, every team, it don't matter if you proud, gotta bleed for it Yeah, nigga, gotta bleed for it
00:00:20
Speaker

00:00:58
Speaker
Good evening, morning, afternoon, everyone. My name is Kawhi, and I'm one of your Meloninjas, along with my other co-host, Emerson and Alex.
Passionate Overview of Jujutsu Kaisen
00:01:07
Speaker
We talk all things anime. We aren't experts, just very passionate anime fans who are very happy to share our opinions and our perspectives.
00:01:15
Speaker
Tonight, we'll just kind of shoot the shit and talk about one of the new up and coming, I think one of the greatest new anime out there, Jujutsu Kaisen. And so I'm going to toss the ball to Emerson and let him kickstart the conversation. Oh, man. You got to kickstart it with me. I'm a big fan. I'm wholeheartedly in the camp of this show has not missed. I like everything about it from the fights.
00:01:45
Speaker
to the character development, Yuji is that nigga, will forever be that nigga, I don't care what people say. Yeah, I think the story, the world, the biggest thing for me though, as you guys know, I love fights and shit in anime, is the power scaling. They do such a good job of power scaling. Yes, I'm balanced.
00:02:08
Speaker
Yeah, it's super balanced.
Character Analysis in Jujutsu Kaisen
00:02:09
Speaker
And like, without like, throwing away any spoilers, like, just watching the last episode, like, I completely understand where everybody stands compared to Goju now. Like, well, clearly, like, they made the whole, you know, when, you know, when like, they hype, hype up a character in anime, and then you see them, you're like, all right, you know, like, somebody got some licks in on them, or, you know, like, oh, all right, cool. They're like,
00:02:34
Speaker
up there, but I don't know where they really stand. You can't really like gauge where they are. I can 100% now gauge where this man is. It is really deserved why everybody's afraid of them. And I think the other thing that makes it interesting is like, again, like the plot and the backstory and stuff like, um, so like, if you like a little bit about the show, it's like, you know, they, they deal with curses and like these curses emanate from like,
00:03:01
Speaker
I guess like humans and negative emotions and negative like characteristics that help them come to fruition, come into being and whatnot. And then there's a few of the curses that become intelligent. So like now they can speak and interact and they can, they can now use powers that other ones wouldn't like lower. There's different levels. So like, there's like a specialist four through one, and then there's specialty here.
00:03:28
Speaker
So like the special tier ones are the ones that the main characters are fighting with now. And the thing that makes it really interesting about like ranking Goju is just like this man is known by these newly developed curses. They've like been in existence for all of like a few days or you know let's say a few weeks in the show and yeah they they know of this man and they're like the first thing that comes out their mouth as they become like intelligent is
00:03:57
Speaker
do not fight him, stay away from him. It's just crazy.
Unique Powers of Gojo and Sakuna
00:04:02
Speaker
Well, I think just to dive in on that, there's two points I want to make. Well, the other person who's just as goated as Gojo is probably Sakuna, because I feel like when you have to measure your power level by how many fingers equivalent you are to a person,
00:04:21
Speaker
I'm eights of Sakuna's fingers strong. I feel like that also kind of speaks volumes because if the volcano dude, I don't remember what that curse spirit's name is, but he was like, what, eight or 10 fingers or something? And that dude was dumb, crazy, powerful. Now, obviously, he was considered special grade. I think the very first curse spirit in the show
00:04:49
Speaker
is a was only held one finger and was only one finger strong and he was considered a special grade. So if you're a special grade and you can only and you're only holding on to one finger and there's 20. I feel like that just gives you some sense of how insanely broken like Sakuna has to be. I mean, we've had a couple glimpses of his strength now and then but I'm just saying. But, but Gojo
00:05:16
Speaker
going back to Gojo, I think it's crazy that he, like, I knew how crazy strong he was when he asked you to hold up his hand and try to touch him and you can't even touch him because he said, Oh, that's my infinity. There's just an infinity between us. And that had me rolling. Like, we are so distant that there is an, the space between us is infinity. So it doesn't matter how close you get it is infinitely, like,
00:05:43
Speaker
The distance between us is infinity, period. There's just no way you can close that gap. I don't know. That blew me. I agree with everything you said earlier, Emerson. This show has me... Honestly, the other thing that I really love about it is that it's also
Humor and Animation Quality
00:05:59
Speaker
hilarious. There's some genuinely laugh out loud, roll on the floor, hilarious moments for me in the show. When our boy, Isadori, was calling out
00:06:10
Speaker
that he wanted to be strong. And he started name dropping all of the famous finishing moves from all other anime. He was like, I wanted to throw a Kameha Blast and maybe a Gallic Gun or whatever he said. He had three or four different ones. I think he said he wanted to do the Spirit Gun from
00:06:33
Speaker
from your show. Yeah, I'm just saying like he really called it out. Like what other he had a couple others in there. I can't remember what they all are. Maybe that was at the dodon array. He just like name dropped all these. I think he said he wanted to throw a rosenga. Like, yeah, he dang sure did save rosenga. So I'm just saying like it just there's just some real great moments in that show golden and can we just talk about the animation to
00:07:02
Speaker
Perfect. Honestly, perfect. And y'all know I'm a stickler for animation because I've been criticizing Attack on Titan all season because I think the Titan animation is trash. But this shit here is amazing. Jujutsu Kaisen is gold. And just to backtrack a little bit and talk about the whole Sukuna and Gojo thing, I knew Gojo was bad the first episode when he put all kinds of hands on him like that.
00:07:32
Speaker
What else can you call it? He was open-handed, just slapping this dude wherever he felt like. It was really terrible. But seeing Sukuna fight, was it Mahito? The curse who, if he touches you, he'll alter your soul or whatever? Yeah, that's Mahito. Seeing him destroy him in the wave of a finger, because he's given, I forget the overtime dude. I really like his character, though.
00:07:59
Speaker
Um, do you remember his name? But the other, the guy that he, his blade cuts like a perfect seventh of the 10, like whenever he cuts you, like he can see the weakest point to cut. Yeah. The company man. I forget his name. Oh, I know you're talking about, I don't know. Y'all got me wanting to pull up a list. Pull up a list.
00:08:24
Speaker
but these characters are just
Favorite Fight Scenes and Techniques
00:08:25
Speaker
so strong. And especially here's that like just, oh, the animation is definitely, it's definitely, I think what's your favorite, what's your favorite fight so far? I think each of you probably have your favorite moment in the episode animation wise. What was it? Oh, that's a good one. Oh, before I give you my attention to that, I will say Overtime Man, like as you so belovedly call him, I will say that whole story of like,
00:08:51
Speaker
I like I felt that I felt seen when it was his whole like he's working in corporate America or corporate Japan. Like I was like, oh, my gosh. But I guess. What was it? Pinto Nanami. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So my favorite fight.
00:09:13
Speaker
Okay, so honestly, like just what I think it was total and and UG versus that tree one, but to like avoid being like, you know, whatever recency bias, I will say Panda versus
00:09:31
Speaker
I don't know that guy's name, but you know, the metal dude, that's like really a other person. That's like a real person. On some pain type shit. It was very pain-esque. It was very pain-esque, but like that was my favorite fight because of how many like red herrings they threw in it, right?
00:09:51
Speaker
the icon, like, at least to me, it's iconic, where Panda goes, Panda is not a panda. And then switching to a gorilla. I was like, Oh, that was nuts. And then like, um, I also thought it was just cool. It kind of gave me, um, this might be a stretch, but it happened anyway. It gave me like parasite vibes where
00:10:14
Speaker
Remember, there was that big parasite that was three different parasites in one human body, and it kept switching out whoever was the head. Yeah. That would have got where Panda kept switching the souls to me, even though we only saw two of the three, which leads me to believe that third one might be something that's crazy too. Dangerous. My goodness. But I thought that was pretty epic, especially when it gave me the parasite vibe in the sense that in parasite, when
00:10:43
Speaker
Um, when he was trying to like stab it with the rusty sword or whatever, and he missed it because it moved to another body part. It was like that when, oh boy, tried to like, uh, shoot Panda when they were on the rooftop. But then Panda was like, you think I would like not be able to move it in my body. Um, so I thought that was pretty cool. But then in the other last part about that, that made, made it my favorite part was just the aftermath of a fight. And I think that's something that we don't usually like.
00:11:12
Speaker
see developed really well in a lot of anime but like the fact that they had like the whole heart to heart moment and you kind of understand where they both were coming from and how they were like essentially two of the same beings um and how they could get along and all that stuff which they should because technically they're classmates
00:11:32
Speaker
Well, if I'm going to jump in, no, it's like if I'm jumping in here about my favorite fight, because honestly, it's super hard to pick. I think they're all fantastic. I mean, genuinely, I think they're all fantastic. But I think my favorite just sequence in the show so far, kind of the buildup and the fight was when was when Yuji had to fight Junpei.
00:11:54
Speaker
Um, the character who, I mean, without giving too many spoilers, because if you're not, if you haven't watched the show, I do not want to ruin this for, for you, uh, because the show is fantastic and you need to watch it, but, um, and you will not be disappointed if you're an anime fan. I even think if you're not an anime fan, you'd love the show. Um, but, but the, without, again, without giving too many details, there's just this, there is a huge twist at the end of that sequence and our boy snaps and
00:12:24
Speaker
It just the whole, that whole sequence, it's beautiful animation. I love that the transitions because I think that the other thing about this animation team that's so insane is they're able to get these crazy angles and like follow, like seamlessly sweep and follow with the camera like in different
00:12:44
Speaker
into into into and out of different environments.
Surprising Moments and Strategic Fights
00:12:47
Speaker
So the environment on that in this fight changes several times, and it's just real fluid and clean. And there's just an emotional buildup and then kind of a cathartic moment that happens. And it's just it's just brilliant. It's very, very, very good. But honestly, a lot of the battles have that kind of tension, that emotional tension that they build up and then kind of release. So they don't none of the battles feel senseless or
00:13:14
Speaker
or unearned. And there's strong payoffs for all the fights that have happened so far. I also think that the characters are really, really just brilliantly written and realistic. Same with the enemies too. I just think it's just a very well done show. But if I had to pick a fight, I'd probably say that one with Junpei, probably my favorite.
00:13:42
Speaker
I'm surprised neither of you mentioned the first time Gojo takes off his blindfold, because I know that's a favor for a lot of people. It was just surprising that y'all didn't say that. When you get malicious, the whole infinity and everything, it's gorgeous. It's beautiful. My dude has some baby blues, man. Them eyes go crazy.
00:14:05
Speaker
They really do. The only thing I don't like is why my man's hair doesn't stay flipped up when he takes his, takes it down. Like when he takes his mask off, I don't like, I don't like when his hair is like flowing down in his face. He just, I don't know. I like it better when his hair is kind of spiked up. So I wish he could keep that even when he takes his, his blindfold off. I like, I'm, this is weird, but I think it's kind of cool
00:14:33
Speaker
seeing like these different like how certain people like restrict their eyes because like not all the characters are using like their eye like cover their eyes but there's like the other guy that goes to um kyoto um blanking on his name he's like the third year that's super strong that's from a royal family
00:14:54
Speaker
Or like he was the one who does the art. I don't know which one. Yeah, the one with the blood arts. Yeah. Yeah. Like, oh, the sage do the sage. You like you like his eyes are closed the whole time. You was like, OK, cool. Maybe like you should always know the character is I. Yeah, Kamo. Yeah. If if their eyes are closed, they're probably filthy. You should always know that's like a rule of thumb in anime. But I was just like, all right, maybe I don't know. Why does he have a blindfold? Yeah. I that man is nasty.
00:15:24
Speaker
up until he got waxed. He was nasty. And that's not a spoiler. You can't do nothing against what he had to deal with. You could not. Which goes back to my earlier point about power scaling because he was waxing everybody else. Like that's so crazy to me. It's just like, I love how well thought out that was.
00:15:45
Speaker
I honestly thought Toto, because remember when Yuji and Toto were fighting the special grade? Toto tags in at one point. And bruh, I think that might have been my favorite part of the show. Just that orchestrated ass whooping. He just on his ass.
00:16:03
Speaker
That was nuts. The best part about that sequence is the fact that he didn't actually reveal his entire technique immediately. He didn't just say, oh, by the way, when I clap, it doesn't mean this all the time. It doesn't mean I'm always switching or whatever.
00:16:22
Speaker
he was it was like more realistic to me in battle because it really threw his through the curse spirit all the way off. Like that was fantastic. I mean, I didn't say that one because I mean, I feel like obviously it's gonna be the climax. So but no that bad fight sequence they they Bravo. Just Bravo. That was
00:16:44
Speaker
That was better to me, even though I did, even though I did cry on Demon Slayer episode 19, like that episode just like blew me. But like to me, animation wise, this was equivalent. Episode 19 and 20 introduced you guys in. It was equivalent to me. I have to disagree slightly. I think Demon Slayer's last episode is like a couple inches above. Cause like that, it was beautiful. I can't, I can't. I disagree with you both. I respect you both.
00:17:12
Speaker
It's because the other, in Demon Slayer, that episode 19, I literally felt moved. I was moved in that moment when his sisters, like Blood Demon, are awakened and she
00:17:27
Speaker
like their bond literally like exploded into that moment and allowed them to win and then they didn't but still like that moment was just it was just it genuinely moved me like to tears and it was beautiful on top of everything so it was the it that's what really i think took that scene specifically for me over this one but just this this had me smiling and hyped the entire time like i felt
00:17:52
Speaker
I mean, I was blown away. And this is the only anime that I want to watch the intro all the way through to the exit, through the outro. I want to hear every moment of every episode. I need all of it, everything. I don't skip anything in this show, especially when y'all, can we talk about the intro and outro, the first part? To me, that intro in that outro, that outro was a vibe.
00:18:20
Speaker
So one through whatever, like 15, I was salty, they changed it. But it's still, I mean, all of it is really good. Yeah. No, I said, I know I agree with you.
Power Dynamics and Character Growth
00:18:30
Speaker
I like, um, yeah, I mean, the Demus layer comparison. Yeah, I was just from pure like cinematic animation
00:18:39
Speaker
Standpoint, I agree with you. I think it's pretty equivalent. I think the Demon Slayer joint was moving, but it took away from me when you found out the next episode what really happened. And I was like, yeah. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That's why it's like, I can put Jiu-Jitsu guys on par with it, personally. But I would say, too, the thing that kind of... It moved me, like, maybe not in the same, like, emotional way as that Tanjiro Nezuko, like, Bond was, like,
00:19:10
Speaker
Um, was seeing Toto in Yuji's bond, especially because like we see Yuji and everybody's just like up until this point. They're like, yeah. I don't remember the pose. Like the pose, but no, it like just reminded because like, you know, up until that point, everybody's like, he's good for a blank, right? Like he's like in this box. Um, and then.
00:19:39
Speaker
You know why he's in the box. He's just not a natural sorcerer. He fell into that world. But then he gets to the point where this man can do the Black Flash, something that you have the cut scenes of the professors talking about how many they record. And they've been sorcerers for however long. And he matches their record after just learning the technique. Yeah, that's nuts.
00:20:08
Speaker
Which is like arguably, like, I'm not sure how you guys see the sense of time in this show, but to me, he learned it the same day. Like he did the record on the same day. Yeah, that seems like that to me. Yeah, so I'm like, that's even more impressive. And like just seeing his growth, all of that growth, that moved me. I didn't cry. I did. But I didn't. Speaking of the growth, I want to help you.
00:20:35
Speaker
Oh, go ahead. He's just got the power. He's got plot armor, you know, he's got the power of the main character. I feel like I feel like the character progressions in this show have been honestly halfway decent, like how they because like some shows do the whole time lapse thing where they go and come back and then they're dumb strong. I can like sometimes do the training off camera and all kinds of stuff like that. I like this one.
00:21:01
Speaker
Like the reason why they got stronger and how strong they got, I feel like they kind of coincide really well. Like, so I'm thinking about, so Yuji was already dumb strong, first of all. And then like he had that, he had that whole hiccup with his, with not being able to use the whole divergent face correctly. Cause he wasn't, it wasn't the right fucking move, I guess. I don't know.
00:21:21
Speaker
And then learning in the fight with Toto and now being able to use it black fashion, then you have, is it Megumi? The guy who summons the, his progressions, are you learning that the curses that he summons can feed off of one another? When it dies, it gets stronger?
00:21:42
Speaker
That's fucking dumb. That was so cool. Like you can inherit because his like his dog has actually rewatched a couple of episodes. His little dog curse spirit turned into a wolf. I was like, Oh snap. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with that character though, too, because if you remember the fight where Sukuna was looked was was fighting Megumi, he was like, you have some type of hidden power. What is it though?
00:22:08
Speaker
Yeah, I'm thinking like just given who Sakuna is and this is completely like I don't know. I have don't know so I'm totally just stabbing in the dark. I feel like Megumi
00:22:21
Speaker
I feel like Sakuna wants somehow to be revived and I don't know if Megumi's technique can help him do that because he can sort of like his Megumi's technique seemingly deals with some degree of like transfer of power and maybe revival so of some sort or like kind of got that whole Phoenix vibe to it so I don't know if
00:22:44
Speaker
Yeah, I don't know if he wants, I don't know if he can use his technique to be able to do something like revive himself into a regular body or not, but he knows. I thought, I never thought about it that way. That's interesting. Because when I first heard it, I thought that it meant that, I thought that Megumi just had some hidden power that was so strong, it peaked soup in his interest. And that's what had me so captivated, is like, what is this nigga hiding?
00:23:12
Speaker
I don't know. No, that's how I took it too. And then it kind of got, it kind of got emphasized or exacerbated by that conversation with Kamo where they were talking about like him being royalty and or like being of that like lineage, one of the three major families. So it makes sense that he would like have some hidden power. And it's also kind of I think it's interesting, like how he was able to use like a special grade curse weapon.
00:23:42
Speaker
And you're supposed to, your ability to use certain items are supposed to be on par with where you stand. And he's not as special. Yeah, he's not as special here at all. And I thought maybe that could be linked to the hidden power that he might have.
00:24:01
Speaker
You can have cursed weapons. Me and her sister? Oh my god. I don't know where you're going with this, but I'm bracing myself.
00:24:15
Speaker
No, no, no, no, no. Her sister's nasty. If you remember the episode where her and Megumi are fighting the special grade, she's disgusting. She's probably one of my favorite female characters I've ever seen. She's dope. I can't wait to see how they develop her family background and storyline.
00:24:34
Speaker
But she seems like a really dope character. And I feel like that's a trope that you kind of come across a lot, is that whole promising child rejected by their family and stuff like that. So I'm interested to see how they kind of put their twist on it. Because their character development has been really good so far. Hey, look, I'm just saying, Mai's gun? Where the bullets come out of nowhere? What the fuck? I love it. I fucking love it.
00:25:03
Speaker
I feel like it's dumb as shit that she can only do one bullet though. I feel like if a gun is your, at least the whole, at least six, I don't know, at least the full Revolver magazine.
00:25:16
Speaker
Well, she can only manifest one, but I think that's kind of her point. Like, she's not strong. She was only here because she was, what is it, her family line. Yeah. So like, she is. She's only there because of Maki leaving. Literally, because Maki, yeah, that felt so, I don't know. Like, that point made, like, it felt so realistic in a way to me. Like, man, if you didn't strive to be great, I wouldn't have to. Like, just that whole sense of,
00:25:45
Speaker
She wanted to be mediocre and can't, but she also- She was like, I would stay home and clean dishes. She literally said that. I feel like that's not her older sister's fault though. It's not my job as your older sibling to make you, you got to choose your own path or whatever. I think that that's probably what's going to happen in the anime. And once she does, she'll be dumb strong because of it. But right now, she's holding herself back.
00:26:16
Speaker
Fair enough. I mean, she only seems to try as hard as it gets her what she needs to stay and maintain at the next step. She's not the type who's going to push to continue to climb. She just doesn't want to be eclipsed by her sister at the end of the day, who's pushing so hard. And she's like, ugh, stop. Stop ascending. Just stay. If you stayed, I'd stay. I wouldn't have a reason to keep climbing. But it's also hard to feel bad for her too, though,
00:26:44
Speaker
She was dick. Yeah, she's not that likable, Al. At all. I mean, she's really not that likable either, though. I fuck with her, but she's also like a dick. She was such a dick to Eugene at the beginning of the tournament when she was just like, or the group battle, and she was just like, yeah, we don't have a plan for you. We probably don't need you, so we'll just give you something to do. That was so mean.
00:27:14
Speaker
It seems, I feel like, I don't know, you got this person on your team, this low key, maybe the enemy. I'm not going to respect you and like you or trust you at first either. I feel like that was reasonable. It's like if you play basketball. Cousin bouncers for you. Fuck my cousin. Oh. I take that with a grain of salt. Like two specs right there. Bang. There you go.
00:27:40
Speaker
There's nothing else to be said about that. He said, no, I got it. I got a feeling dude, our first cause, but yeah. No, that's real. I mean, look, I, the thing is, I like, the thing I like most about like my keys is like, when, um, I think it was panda that was going through like where everybody should be.
00:27:59
Speaker
And they explain where they have everybody. But then when you shift everybody to where they actually are and like, she's like right under, um, like Kamo and Toto, I was like, Oh my goodness. Yeah. And then you see her get busy and she gets busy. Busy. She gets busy. Hells her own.
00:28:21
Speaker
Oh, man. Oh, and this is kind of like random going back to we were talking about the curse spirits. Am I the only one who gets like hollow bleach vibes from Hanami, that last enemy that they were fighting? Is that the Earth Earth one? Yeah. Yeah. Like Mother Nature one. Yeah. I got that. I see that. I get total like Ichigo like hollow vibes from her.
00:28:51
Speaker
Plus the little wooden horns, that kind of didn't help. Yeah, and the white skin with the black stripes down it, that design. On the back? Oh my god, that was nice. And then you've got combination with the Chad arm from Bleach. Yeah. I have a question for you guys. Who?
00:29:21
Speaker
Do you think is the mole? The mole? Remember Goju is saying that someone is working with the spirits, the cursed spirits at the school? He's trying to convince. I miss that, but I mean, I don't know. He's not even talking to the principal or the other school.
00:29:47
Speaker
Now why is it like, that's like my hero academia. They're supposed to be a mole. It's always a mole. I mean, honestly, the whole group, the group battle gave me sports festival vibes. So like, Oh yeah. The formula's intact.
Comparisons with Other Anime
00:30:05
Speaker
The shonen formula. Yeah. Toto and Yuji felt like Todoroki and Deku.
00:30:12
Speaker
Yeah. Yes. But let's be honest, I think Itadori is way better. Yeah, I think Itadori is better than Deku. Define better. I just like him more. I like him as a character more. He's more well-rounded to me. I like him better faster, I'll say. I didn't like Deku crying at the beginning. Oh, yeah. And my man's got great dance moves, so kind of hard to beat.
00:30:45
Speaker
for her though, for her though. But yeah, I'm trying to figure out who this mole is. The mole. Okay, well, I don't think there is one. I really think it's just that one character that we see always chit chatting with the curse spirits. I feel like he's obviously some kind of like, excommunicated, like jujitsu person. He probably just has a lot of inside knowledge. Oh, I don't know. I'm hoping it's the principal.
00:31:13
Speaker
No, the principal seemed like he was doing guitar. Who also, by the way, gives me bleach vibes, but it's okay. We're just going to, I'm just going to let that go. If you give wack bleach vibes though, the old nigger from bleach was way. That man was filthy. That man. Oh my goodness. I was like, why are you so ripped for over a thousand years? Yeah, you're right. Captain was dope.
00:31:35
Speaker
I wasn't expecting the old dude from Jujutsu Kaisen to pull out a guitar. That sent me wavelength. I still don't understand what his power was. Do you know what his power was? Because it looked like he was just stalling. It did look like that. What a hilarious if he didn't, that had nothing to do with this curse technique at all. Like he just, my man literally just used it to just distract, or distract him. Let me play you a tune. Let me play you a little tune. It kind of reminded me of
00:32:05
Speaker
Guardians of the Galaxy, when Star-Lord was dancing to distract Ronan. It was literally that. I was like, what are you doing? Which is fine by me, because then I got to see another one of Goju's techniques. And I was like, yo, this motherfucker don't play. No, he does not. For your boss to have to yell at you, don't kill him before you use your technique. And you go, oh, OK.
00:32:35
Speaker
And like, it didn't even, I don't think it mattered who he was aiming at. It would have probably been the same statement beforehand anyway, which is the craziest thing to me. Wait, wait. So I had to rewatch it. Like I kind of want mother nature to live. I liked that character. I liked that curse spirit. Yeah. Interesting. Not really sure. Oh my gosh. I'm not really sure what happened though. Cause I was like, if it, if,
00:33:03
Speaker
If the mother nature, like her spirit went into that crater, maybe it could like feed off of the earth like it did in the middle of the battle with Toto and Yuji. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I feel like it was poetic. Yeah. Who do you think is the mole? Sorry, abrupt transition. Who do you think is the mole Emerson? Oh, I think it's the principal. I think it's either the principal.
00:33:32
Speaker
or someone that we just haven't met yet. Wait, the principle of Jujutsu tech, the old dude with the glasses? I think it's... Oh, no, no, no. That's the principle? I thought the old man was the principle, not the guy with the glasses. Oh, well, there's two principles. Yeah, there are two principles, but of different academies, so... Right. Oh, that's the principle. Yeah. I think the... Let's see, our... Go ahead now.
00:33:59
Speaker
No, I was just finishing the statement, just saying that, like, I think Jujutsu Hai is the dude with the glasses who makes the curse dolls. And I think that the other school, what's the other school called? Oh, it's called Kyoto, the Kyoto Academy. Kyoto Jujutsu Hai is the old man. And then ours is Tokyo.
00:34:25
Speaker
the one that we started. Yeah, the guy from Kyoto. But the other so the principle of the other one of the one from the Tokyo facility, I want to know how strong he is and what he could do. Because by golly, if Gojo is on your staff, what does that mean for you as his as his superior?
00:34:47
Speaker
No, I don't think, I think Gojo is an exception. I don't think anybody as strong as Gojo. I think Gojo just, they lucked out and hit the jackpot with his ass. That's like, uh, that's like in My Hero Academia with, uh, was, is he a panda there too? Is that, what is he, what animal is that? The principal, the principal. I think he is a,
00:35:12
Speaker
Panda, technically? I think he is a panda. Okay, so that's like having All Might on your wrong stage. He might be a koala. He might be a koala. The bear of my hero acting TV. Of you. I think he's a koala bear. That'll be my guess. Well, that's like having All Might as one of your teachers who's an exception, I guess. But I was like, what can he do? I want to know.
00:35:38
Speaker
Because he had Gojo in the headlock, remember? And I was like, oh. He's like, let go of me. He didn't get out on his own. I think Gojo just let him touch him out of respect. I don't know, though. Because Gojo, dumb, strong. It's like that time when I tried to pick you up, remember? He just let me have it out of respect.
00:36:03
Speaker
This nigga tried to pick me up one day at a party while he was drinking, because he was drunk. And he tried to kill us both. Just leave it there. But you got off the ground. Oh, my God. He did lift me up. I'll give him that. It was well earned. I appreciate you, good brother.
00:36:28
Speaker
So, all right, I have a question for you guys.
Speculations on Jujutsu Kaisen's Finale
00:36:31
Speaker
Where do you think this season is going to leave off at? Because it's definitely going towards a cliffhanger, as they always do. And as we saw from the preview for the next episode, then it's coming out on Fridays. I like shouldn't say this out loud, but I definitely put a mark on my calendar on Fridays to watch it. And I watch it when it comes out immediately.
00:36:54
Speaker
Um, you know, at WandaVision man, that and WandaVision. I haven't seen WandaVision yet. I haven't seen WandaVision. I'm waiting to binge y'all. What y'all sleep in. I gotta watch it too. Somebody was crying about WandaVision and it made me say, let me wait to bench this all. I want to be in all the fields.
00:37:17
Speaker
Well, it's not as fun if you don't watch it as it comes out. But I will say I definitely feel like it's not enough when I'm watching it. So I guess there's pros and cons. But yeah, but you're saying where do I think it'll end off? I think we're probably close to the end. Like you said, probably end with. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe in right before a trading arc, like they're going to need to get stronger collectively.
00:37:45
Speaker
for this season, but I don't know. They definitely got waxed. Yeah, I mean, I was thinking it'll probably end off where we kind of see like Mahito or I don't know how to say his name. Is it Mahito or Mahato? Mahito? I think it's Mahito. I think it's Mojito, like a dream. Mojito. Mojito? OK, I like that. I can say that. We're Mojito. We're Mojito.
00:38:15
Speaker
either develops a new plan or recruits another intellectual curse spirit that's even stronger than the others. Because now at this point, him, Volcano Head, and Mother Nature have all lost. So it's like, what's next?
00:38:33
Speaker
But they're all getting stronger, though. Yeah, they get stronger, yeah. They all get stronger, yeah. But they just get, like, remember in, like, in, like, in Hunter x Hunter when the, when the chimeras started developing the abilities? That's where they are in the progression. Which is scary. This is scary. Right. Because my hero shit is disgusting. I'm sorry, Alex. Yes. No, I'm just agreeing. I agree. I think they're going to get stronger. I think they all have the potential to get exponentially stronger. But if he cuts you, do you?
00:39:00
Speaker
That was wild. That seems ridiculous. The thing that kind of got me, I can typecast me as you will. I just like people that like to get busy. And when Mother Nature was fighting and going through the whole, I have never felt so alive and this is what... I thought that was so badass. I can't be mad at a villain that just wants to get busy.
00:39:28
Speaker
And it wasn't like she will. OK, Mother Nature was not a good example of this because not all villains want to destroy the earth. They just sometimes want to destroy certain people or a certain segment of the earth. Mother Nature did really want to wipe out the earth. So that's a little different. But in general, I like to wipe out the earth. She wanted to refresh the earth. She just didn't like.
00:39:48
Speaker
humans. She wanted to get rid of all humans. Yeah, it was the humans who are destroying the earth because she was born out of the, the cries of the earth from the other anger. Right. You want to destroy what brought you into life because, you know, without the humans messing up the earth,
00:40:08
Speaker
you wouldn't have had those cries, you know, whatever. Yeah, I was going to say, doesn't that beg the question that wouldn't she not exist, if not for the continued, like, the lament of humans kind over the destruction of the earth? Because either way, it's from, it's more of negative energy, right? But if negative energy is of human negative energy, then
00:40:29
Speaker
It's she was born out of the good humans who were angry about she was either born out of the good humans who were frustrated and fed up with the destruction of the earth, or she was born of Mother Nature's frustrations itself. But either way, if humans were gone, I feel like she would cease to exist because there'd be nothing fueling her ambitions anymore, nothing fueling that negativity that keeps her around.
00:40:56
Speaker
Yeah. You waxing poetic. You were a doctor over there. Oh, my gosh. No, I agree with you. That's why I saw it. And I thought it was just really interesting. Because then it begs the question, too, what happens if she's successful? Does that mean she fades away? Yeah. Or is it like she's already in existence, so she doesn't go away? I feel like once a curse exists, it exists, right? Yeah. Until it exists. Oh, it's a curse.
00:41:25
Speaker
I mean, yeah, right? It could be, look. Because it's curses that have been alive for like thousands of years and stuff, I think, right? So it would make sense that the curse wants it alive. It just lives on. Yeah, I think it probably just couldn't get stronger. Or honestly, this particular curse spirit might be satisfied. It's a special anyway. So does it need to get stronger?
00:41:56
Speaker
I can always steal from the earth, I guess. So I do think that whole reveal of the Rose was pretty badass. Yeah, it was pretty cool. Now, even in its nature, she doesn't like using it because it destroys the earth. I don't know. It's just interesting. It steals life force. Yeah. And then, you know.
00:42:21
Speaker
Which again, whoops, spoiler. I just, yeah. You know, another thing, did kind of good. I like, well, at least in this last fight, I think they highlighted really well. I like how they, I like how they, um, highlight the, each person's thoughts in the fight.
00:42:36
Speaker
So this particular point I'm thinking about is when Yuji does his first Black Flash. And Yuji and Toto are talking, and she's listening to the conversation clearly. And I hate an anime where the protagonists are talking, so the antagonist is just deaf. Like, come on now. This nigga can clearly hear you.
00:42:57
Speaker
And she was just listening to the conversation the special grade was in processing. And then she sees Yuji focus, and she's like, oh, OK, this nigga is about to pull out his special move. And just because of how much he's concentrating, it wasn't like he's charging up. There's no flash of light. He's not in his Kamehameha pose or nothing like that. He just focused. And she notices based on how this nigga is intently focusing and drooling. I think that that was like, it's really subtle, but I like how they did that.
00:43:26
Speaker
Yeah, then you don't also kind of piggybacking off of that. I like the internal dialogue that they add in there because that reminds me of the time where I was blown away by the internal monologue that Yuji had when he was fighting the special grade for the first time when they went into that incomplete domain from that one cursed spirit and how he had tried to put his hands up thinking he was strong, thinking he could defend his people.
00:43:54
Speaker
And his hands just got eviscerated. And he was freaking out at the thought of death. That was nuts to me. And the voice actor really sold it. That was a moment where I really was like, man, this dude really is scared of dying. I believe him. He sounds terrified. And those probably are the thoughts you had. Dang, you're weak. You're weak. You can't live here. Oh, shoot. You're going to die right now. That's going to happen.
00:44:20
Speaker
Like, he's not coming out. Oh, snap. Like, that was supposed to be my ace in the hole. It's not happening. I can't pull it off right now. I thought I could. Oh, God. Like, just everything he was thinking was just so spot on. I don't know. I just so I agree. Like, there's definitely moments that just add a little bit of spice to every scene. That's the attention to detail. Basically, this whole episode, we're just simping over to Jutsu Kaisen.
00:44:46
Speaker
basically. But it's don't though. It's simp-worthy. It's simp-worthy, yes. You know what? That's gonna be my new phrase. I'm gonna write that down. Let me put that in my name. It's simp-worthy. I don't know. Because you keep talking about the parts of the show that really resonate with you. And I keep going back to that one point that Emerson mentioned with
00:45:08
Speaker
The whole company man thing, because I mean, if you think about it, that's kind of what we signed up for is to be like company people for a couple of years. But realistically, there's all shit that we would want to do that's more enriching to us. That one specifically was just really real.
00:45:27
Speaker
Yeah, I felt that. No, I really felt that. And then like, even like the tail end of it, right, when he goes to the coffee, the bakery, and he like, helps a woman that like, had a crick in her neck, but it was really like a little curse. You know, it's even the little pleasures we can get out of like the mundane.
Relatable Themes and Character Critiques
00:45:45
Speaker
Like, I felt that right. Because now I think about it when I when I go to Dunkin Donuts, get my coffee, my morning Joe, like, can I help this woman get rid of a curse?
00:45:55
Speaker
I'm not a video, so I can't. I felt that overtime shit, too, though. Like, when he was like, it's 501, and he went off? Yeah. Oh, man. If it's 501 and I'm still in the office, we have problems. But I just say that now, because, you know, I work, I work, but if I work, it'd be different.
00:46:17
Speaker
But you know that also like you're talking about the relatability of certain characters, I actually think a lot of the female characters on the show are relatively relatable to like, honestly, like, they're badass in the show, like the women characters are really, really strong. But some of the characters when they when they bring up the some of the expectations,
00:46:37
Speaker
that women or like women in that field would have to endure too, like kind of the double standard of it all. I thought that was pretty, pretty realistic. But more importantly, like there were some scenes where the girls were like, you know, I don't want to get scars and scratches on my face. Like you can hit me other places, but I'm trying not to get bruised and messed up on my face. Like, no, like, I don't know. That was, I felt like that was real. That is so real. Like, no, don't scratch my face. I respect that. How do you feel about me?
00:47:07
Speaker
Who? Miwa, the one that's a swordsman, but like super weak. Ah, with the blue hair and the cool haircut. Yeah, I respected her monologue about like, she's like, I don't want to do this. I want money. Yeah, I honestly, she's so she was very unremarkable. I didn't, I don't remember anything about her, except she's got a cool haircut. And I like that she kind of like fangirls over Gojo. Yeah.
00:47:36
Speaker
That was relatable. I expected more from her. I feel like if you carry a sword, you're supposed to be nasty. Yeah. And if you know it's blasphemy. Not blasphemy. Yeah.
00:47:52
Speaker
Yeah, she sent me off a little bit. I agree. That's not my favorite character, but she's super cute. And again, her little cute like fawnings after Gojo are awesome and adorable. But Gojo don't want her. No, but Gojo, what does Gojo want?
00:48:12
Speaker
Gojo flirts more with Yu-Gi than he does with any other character in the show. That's only because he wants to fight the demon inside of him. That's really because he wants him to be as strong as he can. I respect that. Solicit Yu-Gi. I'm just saying. Gojo's like an overpowered Hisoku. Because he's really just trying to cultivate this nigga and beat his ass.
00:48:35
Speaker
What are you doing? Tell me I'm wrong. Tell me I'm wrong. First of all, he's a character. He's a masculine character written to strictly appeal to women. Hisoko? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Hisoko and Gojo are the same niggas, like, specifically, clearly. They're both over. I'm not going to look up Hisoko to make sure I'm thinking of the right character. He's Soko. Absolutely. With the diamond and the heart jumper.
00:49:04
Speaker
Yes. Yeah. Red hair, bungee. That's what I thought. This clown dude. No. They feel the same to me. Gojo only wants smoke. Hisoka only wants smoke. Hisoka and Gojo are cultivating these two people for the sole purpose of fighting them. Bro.
00:49:24
Speaker
That is fair. I see. I see. I see. No, like, no, that comparison is weak AF uncomfortable by no, because that can't no, no. Pick Akashi. Tell me he's more. You can't tell me you don't see more connections between Gojo and Kakashi or even between Gojo and like this legendary what the toad toad signing then.
00:49:54
Speaker
Jiraiya, don't you dare. Okay, the name didn't come fast enough. Don't kill me. Oh my God. But I'm just saying, like, there's more similarities between Jiraiya than Hisoka. What?
Debating Jujutsu Kaisen's Place in Anime History
00:50:08
Speaker
I feel like Hisoka is generally over. I don't know. Hisoka popped in because he's overpowered. Like, Jiraiya was strong, but he wasn't overpowered. Hisoka has been strong against almost every opponent he's fought.
00:50:20
Speaker
So that's the only reason I thought of him, is because Gojo's jump strong. Their powers, eh, whatever. I might be losing this one. I'm going to go ahead and let this. This too shall pass. Fair enough. But no, I don't even think Hisoka is equivalently overpowered in the capacity that our boy is in the show. He's just the closest I can think of right now.
00:50:53
Speaker
Who is another character in a show that's absolutely just untouchably broken besides Gojo? Because I can't think of a character... Oh, one punch man. But besides that, like...
00:51:08
Speaker
Yeah, I don't think he's untouchable though. I feel like the way that Gojo is just broken in the show, I mean, these last episodes, they sacrifice, they created a barrier where they, it's like the top tier barrier that they can even possibly remotely think of. And the only requirement is like, I will let anything and everything pass if this one guy doesn't. That's how much I don't want him in here. I feel like
00:51:34
Speaker
I don't know any character in anime so broken. That is so untouchable. I think even Goku is not equivalently broken. The way that goes. I mean, nobody's afraid of Goku. That's the problem with Dragon Ball. Right. Like, if you don't protect the universe, nigga, get strong first. Because you're not doing a terrible job. You're not doing a good job at all. I mean, Whis is kind of broken. I'm not going to lie, but no. OK. Yeah, you're right, though. Whis, Zeno, Zeno is pretty short. Yeah, Zeno ain't even going to fight you. He's just going to snap.
00:52:05
Speaker
Yeah. Okay. But no, I see your point, Juan. I see what you're trying to get at. I'm not gonna let you die on that hill. I guess Whis would be, I guess Whis would be a better. But he's also kind of like a character that I can't give you the win for because they're, why do they, why those characters, like Gojo is not just very masculine, like these other characters.
00:52:36
Speaker
I think I think it's just his character is weird because he's openly sexual and he's openly sexual about the fact that he's I think I think he has a fetish with like strong things. Yes. Because he always wants to fight like the strongest he was like fanboying over going and kill her because he was thinking about how strong they were going to get in the future.
00:52:57
Speaker
So I think his obsession is strength. He was briefly fangirling over the, I forgot her name, but one of the women in the Phantom Troupe, the one that can make threads out of anything. When he thought she was stronger than she was. But before he realized that he was stronger than her, he fangirled over her too. So it is really a strength thing, not like a person.
00:53:25
Speaker
No, but I don't think it's not like any of these characters have ever expressed interest in anybody. I'm just talking about like, yes, they have character for Lawrence. Have you not heard the conversation? No, I'm not talking about. I'm talking about Hisoka or Hisoka or, or this, I can't think of them. Huh, marijuana? What? Who?
00:53:50
Speaker
Ooh, I'm confused. I just didn't hear what you said, but we were talking about Whis, yeah, Whis and them. I feel like they're not, those two characters haven't, like it's not even about them, you know, expressly having like a, you know, an orientation. It's more that they are just characters who are intentionally more androgynous. So I just like have a hard time comparing them to Gojo, that's all.
00:54:18
Speaker
So how do you feel about Baby from Dragon Ball GT? Jeez. Anyway, what do we think about this show as it ranks or as it stands to being in the new big three of anime? And I also have a second question, which is, do you think it'll pass Demon Slayer in sales by the end of the year? You want to go first, Kawan?
00:54:48
Speaker
No, that's hard. The second part is hard. OK. All right. I will say, I think it belongs in the new big three. And I understand that that is a lot of recency bias. And that is a tough thing to say with only one season out. But we said the same thing about Demon Slayer when it first came out. And it would only have one season out. So I'm not opposed to saying that.
00:55:17
Speaker
So what is the victory then? For me, it would be it would be two guys in my hero academia has to have one of the spots. And I agreed. Honestly, honestly, I'm going to say it. I'm going to say with my chest out. Fire force. Oh, fire force.
00:55:43
Speaker
And I know that is not a popular one to put in there. I know you could put in there. You could put demons. You could put demons. No, I didn't do it. That black over Trump's what? Trump's fire force. I love over office. My guy, you know, is one of your main characters. You will not jump in nobody.
00:56:14
Speaker
Right. I can't disagree. You know, it's dry AF. Look, I can't, I can't allow that. I, um, I love black clover. I need to get back on it now too, that the filler is done. But, um, yeah, I mean, just for me, me personally, me as a individual being, I love fire force. I love that they get busy. I think that I think we talked about this before.
00:56:37
Speaker
Um, about season one, how it was kind of like all over the place in terms of like the story, we kind of wasn't sure where it was. Season two kind of streamlined everything and it kind of got, it got a lot better and it got a Nigerian character. Come on now. Representation matters. It's still representation. Um, but yeah, I don't think it's going to pass, um, Demon Slayer in sales though, by the end of this year, I do think that it will go and
00:57:07
Speaker
I think it has a chance to. I think it's the only thing out right now that probably has a legitimate chance to, but I don't foresee it happening by the end of this year. Kaiwan? I think that Jujutsu Kaisen... I don't think it will pass demons late. I'm sorry.
00:57:37
Speaker
Demon Slayer, I don't know. That first season, everything just kind of went together really well. And I think the art of Demon Slayer really highlighted, it allowed them to highlight how just beautiful the show was. So I don't know. Jujutsu Kaisen, if anything, it'll be closed. But I doubt they'll surpass Demon Slayer.
00:58:02
Speaker
Fair enough. Fair enough. And I think that bond kind of resonates with people. And Nezuko is just too cute. I don't think Juditsu Kaisen has anything cute enough to boost sales that high, maybe. I'm talking about cute, not
00:58:22
Speaker
Not like, you know, hot. I'm talking about cute, like cute little things. But I guess panda is the cutest thing in there, maybe, but not even. What? What? Well, then it was cute. Maki? What about the girl on the blue stick? Who? The girl on the blue stick? Mo, something? Oh.
00:58:44
Speaker
I'm not saying that the female characters don't look good in the show. I'm talking about just cute vibes. Just cute. Never mind. Whatever. The cutest thing we've ever seen is one of them damn baby puppets.
00:59:02
Speaker
from the principal. I think that's about it. Oh, yeah. He had a lot of cute puppets. Like, baby Panda was cute. That's about it. You hear that whole him, like, training him from, like, from when he was a baby. Oh, that was adorable sequence. Yeah. So I can. So I think I might agree with you guys that I don't think Jutsu Kaizo might not pass it.
00:59:23
Speaker
might not pass Demon Slayer. My big three is also My Hero Academia, Jun and Sukaisen. I mean, I'd probably have to put like Demon Slayer in there. Speaking of shows that I've been really, really, really disappointed about though, why is Promised Netherlands season two so garbage? What is happening? You told me to go watch it. You told me to go watch it and now you're saying is it garbage?
00:59:45
Speaker
because the first four episodes are really interesting and then five through whatever, it's just, I haven't even watched the newest two episodes because I can even tell, I have not read the manga and I can tell that something is wrong. Like it just, something, they did something and it's, I don't like it. And that was my favorite anime. So I'm highly disappointed by the way that this is going. So,
01:00:16
Speaker
Boo. Boo to that. That makes me sad. Yeah. I planned on binging that in Dr. Stone. So maybe I'll just prioritize Dr. Stone. Dr. Stone. I love Dr. Stone. I want to like one day like try some of the stuff that he does in the show just to see if it's real.
01:00:39
Speaker
No. Like making gunpowder? I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. Oh, God. Emerson does not need to have his finger on the button. Look, I would have so much fun just like in the forest. Like, oh, and that looks like it's sodium nitrate. Oh, good times. All right. Well, you know, we gave, we gave jujitsu Kaisen this flowers.
01:01:08
Speaker
I'm happy that this happened because I was, you know, I don't, I was definitely simping over it. I'm just like, this Toto, Yuji, I love their dynamic. And I love that they built out that dynamic, which is kind of weird, right? Because you would think that they would do like Megumi and Yuji first, but the fact that we see him get so close with Toto, I'm just like, I appreciate this word. And now they're brothers.
01:01:39
Speaker
They're happy and they're singing and they're colored. Give me a high five. We should have a, we should have a Mellow Ninjas chorus. You know, I ain't got no home training. But yeah, no, I really appreciate it. Uh,
01:02:07
Speaker
I really appreciate that dynamic and that relationship with Toto and Yuji. I think to Alex's point, there are so many moments in the show that's very realistic. This shit happens in real life. Men talking about women can stop a lot of hostility. Remember they were about to scrap and then he was just like, what kind of girls you like?
01:02:33
Speaker
Like big asses like Jennifer Lawrence and then he hugged him. I was like, yo, that's real shit. Like I want to box you no more. We just bought it on a spiritual level. I thought it was funny that he said big, you know, women with big butts and then said Jennifer Lawrence. That just that always that like, huh, but OK. But he said he did say he said tall women with big butts.
01:03:01
Speaker
So I don't know. She might be tall. Let's see. I mean, I would have said someone like, you know, more. OK. I don't care how many Oscars she has. She's five nine. That's that's a big woman. That's not tall. It could be a W.M.B.A.
01:03:32
Speaker
Okay, five ten is kind of tough because five five yeah Yeah, see up there I still would have said, you know someone more relevant like Megan Like who
01:03:55
Speaker
Oh my gosh. I wasn't sure if you were going to say Megan Good or Megan Thee Stallion, but... Oh my goodness. I would have said Megan Good ages ago, but I can't say Megan Good now because she's married to a pastor and I'm still trying to go to heaven. Oh. In the name of Jesus. Bless your heart. In the congregation, Sid. I was looking at it like we sang.
01:04:24
Speaker
Like I seen green leaf. I know what goes on at a church. Oh my God. Look, I'll take a, I'll take a Megan, a Megan good any day, you know, take a nice, you know, woman from Ethiopia, camera room.
01:04:46
Speaker
Anywhere, almost anywhere, nah. It's got real, it's got real awkward. I got a hit, now I got a hit with the Max on now, come on, now I got a transition. Let me prep myself for women's worth. You should like put that as a, as a little voice and music sample in the episode.
01:05:16
Speaker
That might be before the outro. It could be an overlay while you're saying that line. I might have to do that now. Oh, yeah, I found the instrumental. Oh, yeah, this is happening. Oh, no.
01:05:46
Speaker
Well, guys, it's been a pleasure. I know you've got a little left. Didn't you just say you found an instrument? Oh, you want me to play the instrumental now? Aren't you about to sing, nigga? I can sing. Hold on. Whoa, whoa, whoa. There it is. Uh-oh. Interesting about this. I got to find the right part.
01:06:17
Speaker
I actually I just remembered that Apple music you can like play the lyrics up like up front So I'm gonna do that What is everything about to sing Alex just guess we'll take bets I'm not doing that part though
01:06:42
Speaker
Alex! Alex! He has to be stopped! He must be stopped! This is all in the name of anime.
01:07:10
Speaker
Oh, I gotta watch my part to come out. Alex was distressed. What? It was about to be like two words. Watch.
01:07:38
Speaker
I know you got a lot left in you.
01:07:53
Speaker
I should be crying, but I just can't let it show. Oh, no. Oh, no. All the things we should have done that we never did. It was American Idol audition tape, right? I just had to quit my day job. Oh, man.
01:08:23
Speaker
I needed that. Thank you. Hey look for a long day as you can tell. I'll let Maxwell not sue me. Are we talking about the bracket tonight? We could talk about the bracket. We got two rounds left. I didn't know how long we was doing.
01:08:49
Speaker
We could do it. No, we could do it. It's a real brief. It's real brief update in the finale. In the season finale of Melon inches, we will discuss. We're going to tell them that we will discuss the winners or we'll go through the remaining mounds of the bracket. We have.
01:09:16
Speaker
two rounds left well yeah two rounds before the final left so the the matchups the current matchups as they are all for one uh as corrected by alex because it's not one for all versus benimaru say tama versus ichigo don't matter if it's hallo ichigo don't matter if it's
01:09:43
Speaker
Soul Reaper Ichigo, whatever Ichigo you want to be. Don't get that as beat, regardless. Merum versus Zorro from One Piece. Shout out One Piece making it this far. Goku, AKA King Plot Armor, AKA I'ma throw you a Senzu Bean whenever you need it, versus the winner of this whole bracket, because we already know it's gonna be Yusuke Urameshi of the Urameshis. So yeah.
01:10:13
Speaker
Stop it, Kawan. Kawan, stop it. So, you know, once we go through that round in the finale, then, you know, we have the final four and then the final, which I already told you was going to win because it's going to be Yusuke. Yusuke's trash. Wow. All right. You said something about Seitama, the Gaseya man or something. What are you talking about? What are you talking about? You talk about Golden Freeze.
01:10:42
Speaker
You too. Look, it's okay. We should amend this list to add Yuji and Toto as a tag team. Oh, that would be disgusting. Oh my goodness. I want them to be like the final boss. They're already in the final.
01:11:16
Speaker
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
