Battle at Jade Palace: Knights vs. Opportunia
00:01:42
Speaker
Let's go ahead and get into episode 21 in episode 21 we have the fight action at the Jade Palace between the Knights of the Rose and the Opportunia. Everybody goes back to the allness camp. They have a little discussion, on but Pina Colada ends up getting arrested and they all wait for the Japanese to intervene at the Jade Palace while Lele is trying to get her masters. Back to the beginning of the episode. John, what did you think about the Order of the Rose fighting the Opportunia?
00:02:17
Speaker
Oh, I thought that was good. It was nice. You know, we got a little girls get it done. And yeah, they did indeed get it done. They only showed as far as like the order of the rose. I don't think they showed any of them dying. They only showed like the other soldiers that were there in support, but not like. Oh, we are. We are going to touch on that at the end of this. Are that ah because a lack of body count? um In general, yes, to um keep it vague. But because Sugawara brought in ah Sherry, the opportunity is like, fuck it. Yeah, we're going to rush. They go in. A lot of people get killed. And as you mentioned, we don't see anybody from the Order of the Rose ah die.
Zorzal's Anger and Japanese Political Strategy
00:03:11
Speaker
Yeah.
00:03:12
Speaker
But we see the opportunity to get fucking wiped and have to retreat. Yeah. Much to Zorzal's anger. He was not ah thrilled about that. No, he's a little angry, a pissy boy. He's annoying. Well, yeah. um And even after all of this, we don't get to see him get whacked. Yeah. Which I'm sure because I know it it hurt for me. I wanted to see his bitch ass get murdered. Yeah. And again, no one did. Now, by the by the end of the manga, he does die. Oh, good but boy. Howdy. We're going to go into that too. Heard.
Foreign Diplomat Evacuation
00:03:50
Speaker
um We cut over to Japan where there's a meeting going on with ah Prime Minister Morita, and he's talking to a couple of the other political figures who are like, hey, man, shit's going down at Jade Palace. That is Japanese territory. We need to send people in.
00:04:09
Speaker
And Marita's like, that's really cool. We have foreign delegates who are currently in the special region. And if they see things not going our way, it's not going to look good for us. In fact, it may even look bad for us. So they refuse to do it. We cut over to all this where it's got the foreign diplomats who are kind of being shuttled out because things are going south, but they don't want to let them know. So like, oh, yeah, we're just going to drive around and it's going to be a really good time. Thank God they are none the wiser because, well, once again, we'll get to that. Yeah, as they share is not going well. There's a lot of of stuff that was post show that now that I see a lot of like of what happened in the show ah and I'm questioning why the hell was that the case?
00:05:02
Speaker
It makes sense. So um that makes me more bummed we didn't have the show continue because we were left with a lot of of empty plot points. Interesting. Yeah, it'll be. I know when when I give you the synopsis, it's going to be a lot of oh, type deal. So just know we have answers. OK, hurt. Interested for answers. Yes. Boy, how he was I very interested reading them. Yeah, but we
Pina's House Arrest by Zorzal
00:05:31
Speaker
have back at the palace. Pina is trying to get her shit squared away and Zorzal's like, hey, you need to pull out your nights because you're fucking up my plans. She's like, no, dude, those are my people. We were tasked one thing. God damn it. We're going to do that one thing that leads to immediate house arrest. And she is no longer allowed to even communicate with the Order of the Rose.
00:05:57
Speaker
to unless it's to give the order for them to pull out. Yeah, he's like, listen, you got to set your pull out game. You got to. The pull out game is not strong for for Pena. No.
00:06:13
Speaker
Right. That lines up for the show, though. Oh, all this and the Tommy never gets laid. But correct.
Return to Rondell: Assassination Attempts and Plot Holes
00:06:21
Speaker
But after everything happens with Pena and Zorzal, we're back in Rondell. So we get to enjoy everybody over there once more ah and a new assassination attempt against Lele featuring the little porters. Also, I just want to say with the return to Rondell, I it just seemed weird to me because the last time we saw them, they were dropping a stick in the road and heading in that direction, heading away.
00:06:53
Speaker
from Rondell to throw off the assassins, and then all of a sudden we're back in Rondell. It I it just felt like, a oh, we're gonna focus on Sherry and Sugawara's thing going on right now. um And we don't wanna write off our main cast and what's going on over there. But we also still need to circle back to this, but it felt like they put themselves in a hole and they're like, oh yeah, we're back in Rondell now. I felt like the whole thing could have just been avoided. Like they didn't need to leave the city, right? So my thought process for that. Yeah. Is they had to leave the city to kind of get their bearings. And then once they were like, OK, we have a little more information about the assassination attempts and we know how to be more cautious and what we're looking for.
00:07:49
Speaker
But did they have any information or anything? They I don't think that they got it until they got back to the city. I don't maybe information was was a ah bad way of putting it. I think that they. Were able to kind of. know to be on their toes and to kind of lay low. Heard. Yeah. So I think it was more of a, look, this is a thing that you need to do, Lele. So we're going to
Rondell Arc Critique
00:08:19
Speaker
find a way for you to do it. We took some time away.
00:08:23
Speaker
we let it calm down, and now we're going back. It's how I see it. Okay, yeah, I think it, I, when Rondell, when that whole, like, through line and everything with the lake got introduced, I was very excited for it. I was like, oh, Rondell, awesome, cool. We're gonna have, you know know, the Magic City, and we're gonna have this. um And I don't know. Maybe it's because I just, I've seen that arc happen many a time. Like most recently just watched in free run and stuff. I was expecting it to be a certain way and it wasn't. And there was like no payoff or reward for me. So I was like, Oh, okay. I guess they were just here. Yeah. Cause in the end, she still doesn't even get her, her title.
00:09:08
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, honestly, i I thought I remembered her like achieving master, but no, she just gets. Fucking poked. Yeah, yeah, she gets poked and ah that's it. And then they leave. And then they leave. Yeah, they leave. um Thank you love a later. little Later. But yeah, yes, I did. I felt like the Rondel arc could have been handled better. I I do agree. yes i i like the whole like arpeggio um and also mimosa thing but then they also just sort of introduce them and then have that one conversation at the diner or at dinner and then a briefing counter just before the master thing and then.
00:09:58
Speaker
gone for the rest of it. And I was like, oh, OK, which it feels like to do that with quite a few of the characters. they do They do. Yeah, they introduce someone as like a fun little thing and then they just go. And that I buy. by Yeah, like I would have loved to get more arpeggio. Mm hmm. Like i I always thought it would have been more interesting in in my opinion if. the assassination attempt that comes in the next episode had been done by Arpeggio. Yeah. Yeah. That would have been so much more interesting. Like, honestly, it wasn't until this watch through where I realized it wasn't like my brain just automatically filled her in to be Arpeggio. Yeah. Because who even was she?
00:10:47
Speaker
ah Shandy. Well, yeah, she was Shandy. But when was the last time you saw Shandy? Exactly. She literally got introduced in the last episode. I felt like. And that was and that was our our antagonist for Rondell. Yeah. Because we never caught the Piper. Nope. Everything in the wind. Everything we came here to do wasn't done. Correct. It just felt like it was a and Tommy and the group need to be separated. And we have this idea. We want her to have a sister. We want her to be going for her master's, for her next thing. All right, we're in Rondale. Fuck. Yeah, we're here. What's next, guys? The writer's room. Oh, oh, big whoop. But yeah, no, I just, I felt like it could have been handled better.
00:11:37
Speaker
Yeah, agreed. Agreed. um But going to this back to this episode. Yes.
Lele's Master's Exam and Pina's New Status
00:11:45
Speaker
We get another assassination attempt in the hotel room, the little porter goblins. I actually don't even know what they are. I think they call them gnomes. I put them down as gnomes. I think they I think they called them gnomes, so they didn't seem very gnomish to me. Yeah, I don't know. They mostly just call them porters in the show. Yeah, ah sneak into the room and start stabbing at the beds. Itami tosses a flashbang in there and ends up hitting. ah Fuck, I can't even remember her name. What was it?
00:12:17
Speaker
Shandy Shandy, I want to call her Shelley, but I'm like, that's not right. No, in adding to the um cause, you know, we had Sherry last episode. um We now have Shandy um keeping with the alcoholic beverages. A shit, what's a shandy? It's like a beer spritzer. Oh. Mm hmm. A summer shandy. Oh, yeah, I got you. Look at you knowing your drinks. Mm hmm. Weird. It's like I'm I'm a waiter or some shit. I imagine that right. Wouldn't that be weird? So weird.
00:12:57
Speaker
But it only launches the flashbang in there. Everybody gets their eyes all fucked up. They go in, do the porters start getting info from them on everything of why they did it. Turns out there is a and assassin of sorts called the Piper, which can shape shift and kind of targets the the weak minded. The way it Tommy put it, it was I think it was feeble minded. Yes, feeble minded. and has them carry out the assassinations for him or her the shape shifter so that they will never be caught and they kind of come up with this whole plan and that brings us to the end of twenty one yeah not really a whole lot happens in that one no not really.
00:13:45
Speaker
Um, which brings us over to 22. Correct. Um, in this episode, we watch as Lay undergoes a master's exam and Pina gets a new outfit and also status in life. We open up with a little bit more fighting, uh, going on with the over by the Jay Palace. We get to see the order of the roses with Moses, um, talking to, um, girl with the purple hair. Don't know what her name is. Didn't write it down. We're here, but yeah. Purple hair and bozos, they start talking and they're like, oh, yeah, no, this is not ideal. But you know what? We're strong. We'll fight for Pina. It'll be good. We got to stand by her. And we got to defend the Japanese people for the peace talks. And then it goes to the guards outside or the imperial guard. And we find out that they are actually
00:14:37
Speaker
losing morale. One, because they weren't expecting the order of the roses to be as tough as they are. And two, because about that at the end of the day, they're like, we're just killing our own people. We're not even going after the Japanese. So, like, what's the fucking point? Not even that. They're friends. Yes. Like it's it's not even like, oh, those are our own people. It's like I had lunch with them a week ago. Yeah. And now you're telling me that they're the bad guy.
00:15:12
Speaker
Correct. It's also a whole like I get not even a morals thing, but just a self conflicting. Yeah. doing ah Yeah. I have morals and self conflicting are kind of the same thing. Yeah. It's a moral quandary. There you go. Got you. ah Big words. Cool.
00:15:33
Speaker
But yeah, so they have that whole thing going on and then it ends with um them getting some more men and then rally and then they're like, we're not gonna give them time to rest. And then they start fighting again. And then it goes back over to Rondell. And in Rondell, we get to see another evil cat girl. These furries, man, they be acting up. ah Evil Cat Girl approaches the gnomes in a bar. That's our first shirt. What? Evil Cat Girls, they be these evil furries, they be acting up these furries, they be acting up. ah
00:16:13
Speaker
But yeah, new cat girl walks up to the gnomes at the bar. Shandy is sitting there as well, eavesdropping ah as keeping an eye on the gnomes because she, again, because we didn't even know who the fuck she was because she's brand new and she's just there. um Apparently, huge supporter of Pina Colada had no clue of that and just fell out of left field. yeah Very much so. um But yeah, Catgirl tells Gnomes of an assassination in attempt that's going to happen to Lele and how she needs to lie down and sort of like fake it um in order to catch the Piper. um And so tell Lele to wear armor. And so they're like, okay, cool. Which, if this girl's trying to kill Lele,
00:17:01
Speaker
Why is she telling them to tell her to put on armor? Unless it's trying to do like a psych-out thing of like, oh, if these people who just tried to murder me all are telling me to put on armor, I should not put on armor and I should be fine. But also like, why would you not put on armor if you know that there's a potential for an assassination attempt? Okay, hold on. I'm doing some looking up here. Okay. I've looked up Shandy. OK, yes. Apparently she's part of the Knights of the Rose. Oh, her.
00:17:36
Speaker
Yeah, apparently that's why she is a big genius supporter is because where did she come from? A great question. I'm like, was the the Order of the Rose in Rondell? Because Rondell is very removed from the conflict and everything. It does. That is going on with the rest of the road. Like, why are they not at the fucking Jade Palace? Apparently, she's the one who told the emperor that our our protagonist group was the one that killed the flame dragon. That's her whole claim to fame. Cool. But also, didn't of that happen as a Tommy and them were all heading to Rondell? So how did this bitch get here? If they were in a Humvee and she was on horseback.
00:18:19
Speaker
The fuck? Yeah, I don't. I don't know. One does not simply walk to Rondell. Yeah, I am just as confused as you are. Cool. Okay. As long as we're on the same page. yeah it's ah It might as well be a blank page. Cool. What the fuck are we doing, guys? Oh, gate. I also said good one. I had a I had a question about gate. I have an answer, I hope. No, no, no. I had one and I had a suspicion on something. So I googled to see if I could find an answer coming into it for you. um I was.
00:18:58
Speaker
wondering if season one and season two are actually just one season one and so i started looking into that but i started seeing stuff for like is it getting a season three and i was like okay well one that answers that question but also let me check into this um so it was a no but also apparently The anime is a very big departure from the manga as well. Like they changed a lot yeah for the show. Yeah. So I'm wondering if her character is bigger in the manga. ah And so her popping up there would make more sense or not. Yes. But yeah, it would appear from what I just read about her that she was definitely that she definitely served a bigger role. Yeah. In the manga. Heard. OK, cool. Because I was also seeing stuff that was like, oh, yeah, no, season three never coming. um And there's a reason for that.
00:19:57
Speaker
Oh, heard. I also saw stuff that was like I would much rather them just like scrap the whole thing, reboot it, do it correctly, and then keep going from there, then give me a story. And I was like, Oh, OK, heard the ah the manga fans, not not fanning it up early. thrill Yeah. show Like they liked it from what I've read, but not to the point where they could have. Yeah. Yeah. Cool. Yeah. But getting back to
Assassination Attempt at Lele's Exam
00:20:27
Speaker
it, evil cat girl ah gives a plan and, you know, tells her person to wear armor, which makes no sense of my opinion. Uh, trying to find the Piper, uh, Shandy follows cat girl and then goes after, um, cat girl to apparently a whole other city slash town. That's like four days there and back again by, uh, Bilbo Baggins and and
00:20:50
Speaker
They follow the catgirl and sees the face of the piper and is like, oh no, and then comes back just in time right before the ceremony. It was like, hey, wear your armor. It'll be good. um And then they do. And then they go to the master's exam. We see outside Arpeggio cares about Lele, which is super, super cute. um We have a little moment where she's like oh i see you have your robes who they look nice cool and then mimosa is like oh yeah your sister stayed up the whole night trying to sell together some old robes so you can have some master's robes cuz you didn't think you had any and then she's like shut the fuck up mom.
00:21:33
Speaker
direct quote exactly and you know it was cute i enjoyed it again i wish we got more arpeggio and lalay and all of that going into it um but yeah um We get that brief little moment and then they start getting in. Lea gets into the registration line. ah There's a pretty shady man behind her and he tries to assassinate her with a knife. And Tommy is like, hold on, Glock magic. ah And pulls out his gun as I put the fucking knife down, bitch. Otherwise you're done. And so ah they arrest this man and the ah ceremony gets underway. We see somebody
00:22:17
Speaker
tank their fucking interview get in throat on them and then they run out and then we see another person do okay. And then it's lola's turn she gets up there catcurls in the audience before the lake even start jumps into action and it's like oh no i see them. Oh no i don't have time to pull this trigger even though i'm talking out loud and it takes. ah so much shorter time to pull a trigger than it does to say words. Oh no, I'm out of time. Yeah. um Especially because it wasn't even like an internal monologue where it can be like the case made of like, oh, maybe they were just saying that that in their head and it was just the slowed down time. Nope. He said it out loud.
00:23:06
Speaker
ah But, luckily, bitch jumps through the air and then all the magic goes, fuck you, and ah the person lands on the stage but is down. And apparently, everyone has heard about Lillay and the flame dragon, and they're like, hey, she's pretty cool. um But also they knew about the assassination attempt that happened the other day, so they're like, hey, just just in case. So they'll have their magic at the ready in case there's gonna be an assassination attempt. So, cool, good for them. um
00:23:37
Speaker
And then they you know escort Catgirl out, and then they're like, oh, we got this. Oh, no, they're gone. And they can buy nothing else could possibly go wrong. ah And then, of course, it goes wrong. Shandy comes up with a knife, ah decides to stab Lele. Lele then falls back, and you're like, oh, no. Did something actually happen to our main characters? Ah. Oh, a narrator. No, no. And then you're like, wait, in addition to plot armor, she has actual armor on. Crazy. Who would have thought who would have thunk it? um But yeah, so Lele's fine. Yeah. They postpone her master's thing. ah They pull in Shandy. Shandy's like, I'm doing it for Pina. If we, you know, kill my shit, alien.
00:24:30
Speaker
What? I'm doing it for a pain. Yeah, doing it to for aine yeah ah and the duke the pina ala um a Oh, hey. Oh, hey. Areva Denshi. Oh, are we the day or two are Rita Denshi. Oh, Rita, Rita, Rika, Riku, Kairi. So. i'm not doing this again. Fucking stop it. um Also, the amount of the Kingdom Hearts explanations that have been popping up on my TikTok now because of my rant. It is insane. OK. And real quick, I'm going to derail you real fast. I'm pretty sure I sent one to you, by the way. Probably. Yep. So you know how you said the the show was a big departure from the novel? Yeah. Remember Catgirl who went flying through the air?
00:25:26
Speaker
Mm hmm. That they then captured. Yep. That was the piper. Yeah. Like like confirmed. Heard that that was her. I was like 95 percent certain that it was. Yeah. um This person who we've been told is like a genius assassin decided to fly through the air at that literal like wizard training. Yeah, I was like, all right, so it's probably the Piper, although what's the chances that the Piper is going to somehow be like linked to the gods and demigod thing that's going on as well? Yeah. Um. So good to know answer. No, we didn't have a longer plan, but she lives in the in the novel. Heard what I mean, she lives in this. She doesn't die. Yeah, she doesn't die, but like she's captured. Yeah.
00:26:23
Speaker
In in the book. Is she in the wind? She's in the wind. And during the second battle of italica in the civil war that comes after all of this kills Shandy. Oh. Thank God Shandy goes to the back to the Knights of the Rose. So is my prediction list from last. Episode is that for Host season two? No, that's the show. Oh, OK. So I got all the ones I said that somebody died wrong. Yep. That was that was going to be the big reveal is nobody fucking died. Yeah, cool. Yeah.
00:27:04
Speaker
I was expecting like some JJK shit to happen. No, we're not even close. Oh, yeah. You die. You die. You die. You die. um That's why that's why I gave you the prediction list, because I was like, OK, this dude seen a lot of shows. The biggest curveball here is probably the fact that any time he says someone is dead, he's going to be wrong. Yep. I expected more from the writing than was in the show. Gotcha. Yeah. ah i think That's what happened. Yep. Because you were building up like there was like, oh, yeah, this is like final fight. I'm like, OK. And I looked at that was the final fight. You saw it. It was Jade Palace and the little bit of the fight at the end to go get Pina.
00:27:50
Speaker
Yeah, there's the paratrooping and then there's that. But I mean, that's it's more of just like a montage of like, look at how much Japan can final battle evil montage. Yeah. Um, definitely not Helms Deep. I'll tell you that. Certainly not. Yeah. OK. Yeah. Again. ah Different expectations, it's fine. It'd be, it'd be, it'd be good. um Vinland Saga did the sieges so much better. ah
00:28:24
Speaker
ah But yeah, so the massive exam happens, all that shit ah starts winding down. And then we found out shandy's reasoning is that she's like well zorzal wants to lay his head because he sees there's a threat because you're being popular and he doesn't fucking like that cuz he's you know got weird mental child syndrome and needs to be the center of attention all and so he's a well you know if i cut off a lady's head and bring it to zorzal then he'll let pina go and Yeah, and also the weird thing is so they know that pina is being held in the capital But also don't know that she's being demoted into the slave like existence that she's taking on correct. Yes, um But yeah, uh that happens and actually in between the stabbing and lily coming too because they try to leave it as a cliffhanger, uh, there is actually a
00:29:14
Speaker
a whole little scene where Pina then gets changed into the slave garbs that we saw ah both Toole and also Noriko in. And ah yeah, Pina's not having a great time. She gets ushered down into the holding cells and she is in the room that Toole was in as well. ah So it's like, cool, that's fun and I don't like that, just for Pina. And yeah that happens we get a little shot of tool talking to the opportunity as i fucking get it done bitch like pick up the pace ah and then she magically appears back in the capital at a penis. Sell as i hate that's mine cool we're like you know.
00:30:05
Speaker
Eskimo brothers in rooms. Cool. Of all the ways you could have worded that. What? What? a How would you have worded it? Because that's the first thing that popped into my brain was Eskimo brothers of rooms. Yeah. You know, fuck. it i ought I don't know. I don't know. You can have it. Not enough. You can have it. You're good. It's going inside of something. Oh, my God.
00:30:34
Speaker
Jesus Christ, man. Yeah. Sorry. You get my room. Sloppy seconds. How about that? Is that better? take oh No, I'll take it. I'll take a better, better one, better two, better two, better one or the same. ah Also, check your phone. Um, okay. Heard. I ah will check my phone. I'm assuming Snapchat. Yeah. Oh, there's that bitch. Bee feeder. Yep. Nice. We just went for a gin name. Uh, her name is Bee feeder. Yeah. So purple haired girl for the context for the people who don't have access to my phone because it's my phone yeah um is a named Bee feeder. The one who was talking to Moses at the beginning of ah this episode is
00:31:21
Speaker
Be feeder be feeder. I feel like that's something that they did not say in the show. They never did. I wonder why we had several conversations with her throughout this. Yeah, she was on screen many times. It was never be feeder. Wow. Yeah. That's a name. Yeah. So the author is just an alcoholic. Gotcha. um Or we'll get to that. He or he associates women with an addictive quality. I mean, I mean.
00:31:56
Speaker
It's very telling. It's very telling. Yes. ah But yeah, so we get all that going on in the capital, then it goes back and we get the whole Shandy thing. I have down in my notes. Well, it comes to Shandy, stupid. Shandy wants to say Pina and have like a should have aimed for the head moment from Avengers ah with Thanos. Uh, like I think it's it's either to their Rory. It's like, well, if you wanted to kill her, you should have aimed for that neck, not the place where you told her to wear armor. You stupid bitch. Which also if this person is, you know, military, militaristically trained. Why not go for the kill shot? Yep. Why go for a simple stab in the chest? Yeah. Yeah. I i think she's like a squire like Hamilton. OK.
00:32:47
Speaker
So I don't know if she's had the full training that everybody has had that like bozos and beef eater have had. Yeah, beef eater. What a what a gem. And it sucks because she was great. Yeah, she appeared like in these last couple of episodes and did things. Yeah, she was there.
00:33:13
Speaker
Uh-huh. But we never learned her name. Exactly. And I feel like we could have never and it would have been fine. I had to know it. So so did you. All right. OK. Oh, but yeah, anyway, we go from that. We get to see that ah the JSTF gets. greenlit for
JSDF's Airborne Assault and Itami's Race
00:33:31
Speaker
an airborne assault on the capital that tried to save Pina and the emperor and get the delegates out of the capital into safety. And that's where we end episode 22. Throwing it back over to you for episode 23. Episode 23. We have the WOW. Wow.
00:33:58
Speaker
It's going full Wario on this. I thought that was Waluigi. Is it? I think it's Waluigi. I don't know. I didn't play any of the games.
00:34:10
Speaker
All right. So we have the JSDF beginning the result at Jade Palace as well as at the Imperial Capitol. They evacuate the refugees from Jade Palace and retreat back while it Tommy and everybody tried to get to the capital to rescue Pena. Not only is that the synopsis for the episode that I can give you, but that's basically what happens. Yeah, it's a very, I guess, combat heavy. It's a montage.
00:34:47
Speaker
It's a montage episode. Yeah. All right. Wow. Look at how far we've come since medieval times. Yeah. Yep. Did you know? Actually, it's really interesting. Did you know that if you take a hundred guys with with an M16 that they can beat people with swords and bow and arrows from a distance? Yeah. I mean, hey, one person did get shot with an arrow. Correct. And then he got patched up. Yeah. So, yeah, um I'll try to describe the montage as best I can. ah huh The Japanese, they parachute down. They start whacking people in the capital. The Japanese, they parachute down.
00:35:32
Speaker
and start whacking people at Jade Palace. The empire launches arrows. One dude gets hit and they say, don't take that arrow out. He'll be fine. And then they just and then they just keep mowing people down. Yep. Boses and Beefeater, while everything's going on, make a break for the the the capital so that they can go and rescue Pena. They get turned away and shot at with arrows that bozos just cuts out of the fucking air. Yeah. Because she's a badass. Yeah.
00:36:10
Speaker
And by the end of this show, she will be reduced to wife ah huh and expecting mother and expecting mother. And so they ride back to Jade Palace with a bunch of the the opportunity entail the Japanese then shoot the people who are chasing them. They get on a helicopter and fly away. That's it. They nailed it. Oh, we get to see kuribayashi on top of a tower at one point. Yeah, she waves. Yep. Yeah. That's that's it. Nice episode 24. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. We have a little more, a little more, very little more. ah We have it. Tommy and everybody in a Humvee racing back from Rondell and trying to go and get to Pina to rescue her.
00:37:03
Speaker
all the while, Tool and Zorzal are like, hey, we have Pina as a hostage. That means we have leverage. So when shit hits the fan, we'll be golden. And that's the episode. Doesn't Moses or someone like that go to the general and be like, hey, can you, you know, like help us go and get Pina? And then they have to be like, nah, sorry, man, can't. Oh, I thought that was beginning and next one. No, that is this one. Yeah. They go to the general and and ask for help. And yeah, the general straight up says. Nah, we're good. Mm hmm. Thank you. Yeah, it's like a we can't start a whole other mission after doing this one because I'll take time. ah But you know who could do it? It Tommy might. It Tommy might ah return of a Tommy might guy.

Back to the show, webs. Into Gate, episode 24.
00:39:18
Speaker
Of in this gate wraps with rescuing Pina Colada and giving Zora's ultimate the middle finger. We also find out everyone has been fucking. Oh, God, yes, they have. Oh, yes, they have. Including beef eater. Yep. Beef eater been getting it on. She said, I don't need your language barrier. um It's all good.
Rescue in the Capital: Throne Room Confrontation
00:39:42
Speaker
I understand body language. Take. Mm-hmm. There's Duke. Um... Dear God. This is what Gate has turned us into. Yep. Oh, it's a good pick. Um... Thanks. Anytime. Uh, anyway, Tommy makes it back and they're like, hey, this shit's all going down. They bring in a couple of strays, uh, on the long the way, like they find the mayor of the village, why they had to take him in, I don't know. Why they stopped it all?
00:40:15
Speaker
Yeah, instead of just going to say Pina. And then everyone comes into the room to help. ah We find out when it Tommy's been approved to go rescue Pina, that, uh, you know, kuribayashi comes in, Kureta. Um, and. urakawa Yeah. And yeah. And the, but the priestly guy and the old guy. I'll enter the room and they're like oh my god you guys are in the show still crazy you didn't remember when we saw you last season. Yeah remember when you are part of the main cast and then you got demoted to um like yes. Even secondary. Yes. In season two.
00:41:02
Speaker
um Yeah, they all come back into the fray and it's like, oh, cool. Wish we had more you all. And then the rescue mission starts. They have this whole little plan of like, hey, we're going to go this way. You get them because they're like, we can get Pina. We can get the emperor. We can also disrupt some of the forces and then buy. ah And the brilliant idea cuz they're like if we were out up in a Humvee, they're not gonna let us in is a Tommy holding the Humvee under disguise of a wagon and him being like in weird slave clothes things and then um or when Having those tailpipe sticking out of the thing that is rumbling. Yeah, they need to get their ah Muff checked out the mufflers. There you go. Not their mom. Sorry
00:41:54
Speaker
Different things. ah ah But yeah, um so they might have a dirty muff or not, I don't know. i' Anyway, they make it into the city. Atame is upset with his plan because he doesn't realize how heavy pulling a Humvee and also a wagon disguise on top of that Humvee will be. odd All of the being full of people full of people um and so they get in there they get up to the gate and the guards are like hey fuck off ah and they're like wait no no no no and then lay and Rory stand up and they're like yeah zo as well wanted to talk to the people kill the frame flame dragon that's fucking us bitch we're here to see the prince and then they go in and And after getting through the gates, divide and conquer, we see ah fucking Yao. No. Yao does some stuff. I had to. This is probably the last time we're ever going to talk about her. Correct.
00:42:59
Speaker
Oh yeah i took a and um nurse bitch go to the emperor to try to get him out and like stabilize them and stuff ah yao goes with a car by a sheet to do some other things um so would we have more stuff to do later i don't think that you accomplish anything other than putting door people to sleep. Correct and then the late Rory and a Tommy head to the Royal throne room which is where pina colada is being brought as well and Zorzel is ah you know having a little little royal court session and he is up there and he blames all the things
00:43:36
Speaker
That are happening on pina and the order of the roses and it's saying that she is still ah the sole culprit for all this traitor and bullshit that's going on and she just sort of laughs in his face and she's like you're fucking stupid which correct. After that, we get to see, uh, you know, Lil A and people putting shit to sleep. Uh, and then in walks, it Tommy, Rory, and Lil A, uh, to save Pina and also talk to the Zorzel and they're like, Hey, long time no see. And then they're like, Oh, fucking guards, get them. And then he's like, Oh no, you sure? I'm just saying you guys can come and get me, but we got fucking Rory Mercury over here. So if you want me, you got to go through her. And then all the guards are like, maybe not.
00:44:25
Speaker
Perhaps a bad idea perhaps uh but also my favorite thing that happens is he yells for his guards and uh itami goes yeah they're taking a nappy poo uh and straight up just says nappy poo which is something i didn't know that i needed but no but it happened yeah Like such a D and&D intimidation check. Like I rolled high. I can say whatever I want. I choose to say the words nappy poo. Um, yeah.
00:45:00
Speaker
Oh, yeah. High charisma character. High charisma right there. But, yeah, Nappy Pooh ensues. ah Rory is used for intimidation. Everyone else backs down. He's like, all right, well, if my guards don't want to do it, my fucking ogre will, you know, that thing that we haven't seen before. And then it's just until the very last episode. Yeah. Yeah. Just a plot device. um That's just there. um And so he sends them in and we see Rory and the lady deal with it like.
00:45:32
Speaker
Very fucking easily. ah I think my biggest gripe of the show is so not only it also goes along with the whole nobody died thing, but it's there's no at no point in this show. Was I ever worried? Yeah, I was never worried for a main cast. Yeah, like I was like, oh, everyone's just going to be alive. Like no matter what happens, they're going to be alive. Like the plot armor that they have and all this other stuff, they're fine, which I dislike because it takes away some of the stakes for me. It's like it does.
00:46:10
Speaker
If you're fighting and I know that nothing is going to come from it, then I don't like to see you fighting. Yeah. Yeah. So. But if this entire show had just been the political aspect of it. Yeah, I will. I don't need the political like give me the political aspect, but also like just give me consequences. Give me consequences to fights. It was just sort of like, oh, hey, we're here, we won. Oh, hey, we're here, we won. Like, there's no underdog story. There's no, um like,
00:46:46
Speaker
there's no Empire Strikes Back. There's no- Even Outback Guys won. The closest we get is, like, when Pina Colada gets pushed into slavery for a day and- Two episodes. Yeah, and- That's it. That's the biggest loss in the entire right two seasons. Even our our main protagonist, z who is, you know, this lazy soldier who just kind of skirts by everything. He's special forces. Yeah.
00:47:21
Speaker
Like, at no point am I even worried about Itami. Yeah. I should worry about Itami. All they did for like seven episodes was just shit on him. Yeah. But as time came up. It was like, oh, no, he can handle himself. Don't worry. Yeah. Yeah, just conveniently. Yeah. Yeah, so that's that's probably my biggest gripe with the show is that there's just like, you know, no consequences. And so the stakes just aren't there for me. Like, I mean, it's ah don't be wrong. It's still an enjoyable show. um It's got fun moments. It's got funny moments. It's got some good action at times. It's like great fan service. But also at the same time, it's like.
00:48:09
Speaker
I felt like we could have done without some stuff and we could have done with some more of other things. yeah ah But yeah, I'll be interested to see ah what your thoughts on the rest of it as well ah when we get to the final thoughts and shit like that. But anyway, back to the ogre just magically being there. I have ogres here, ah bigger the foe, the better it feels. And then ogre is dead. um We get to see Rory have a little little orgasmic gasp. Yeah, she busts and not just before busting the ogre.
00:48:44
Speaker
um And then Ogre dead and they're like, we're going to leave now. We're taking pini colada. And then Zorzal takes a couple steps forward. And then, uh, it Tommy like goes, phew. Um, like gives a little, little symbol. And then the sniper who is, uh, on standby, shoots a bullet past Zorzal's shoulder and into the ground. Uh, and he turns on, he's like, Hey, listen, um, so we're leaving. We're taking her. Um, we're keeping an eye on you. Just know that there is no place that you can go that we cannot find you and see what you're doing. So. Stay OK. Otherwise, the next one won't miss. ah Which. Cool intimidation from it, Tommy. Fantastic. he Yeah. He gave me the worst thing he's done in the entire series, which only makes sense for the last episode. Yeah.
00:49:38
Speaker
Um, and then also, you know, gives us all some PTSD going forward. So that's cool. Yeah. Um, but yeah, so the sniper thing happens and they all regroup. Um, we get to see their escape, uh, from the Capitol and a Humvee
Pina's New Role as Ruler
00:49:54
Speaker
versus, you know, guards and horses. Weird. Who's going to win? I wonder. I don't know, ah but Hamilton is also in the Humvee with them now. Where was she? I don't know, but she's here now. Yeah. Um, yeah. Why she also wasn't put into slavery being Pina's like right hand woman or anything, and she's still in her normal clothes. I don't know. Um, again, I'm trying to bring logic into this. I'm sorry. I just feel like it would have been just more than Pina. Um, yeah.
00:50:30
Speaker
Yeah ah but yeah so then there are you there's one moment that like oh no the doors are gonna close and then all of a sudden there's an RPG blast and the doors are you know blown open and they're like oh just kidding and second Humvee is there because what's better than one Humvee? Two Humvee's. Two Humvee's and then they drive out the main gates there's horses chasing after them with guards on it and then they get through the gates and then there's people with landmines and then they explode the landmines and all the horses and all the fucking knights and shit go flying and they did. Noice. No, I said, yeah, that sums it up pretty well. Yeah. Once again, montage, montage. We get ah to find out that Pina is safe. She thinks of Tommy. Also, as she's saying, Tommy, the emperor ah wakes up
00:51:19
Speaker
um And he starts speaking, and then he tells Pina that she's gonna be the next ruler, because they need somebody that's not him. They need somebody who's going to advocate for peace, who has been in the public eye, and somebody who is younger, and has more strength and power to contest Zorzal. Which also, speaking of Zorzal, bitch runs. ah They leave the capital, and um yeah, he's a little pussy. Little pussy bitch boy. Little pussy bitch boy ah gets the fuck out of there with his crippling PTSD. Yep. ah So he gets out. Tool is there as well. um She's going through like a little anxiety spiral or something like that. I put down post-show depression um because she had her plan to get the whole royal family killed and all that. And now
00:52:09
Speaker
That plan has ended and and Tommy sort of thwarted it by the whole sniper intimidation and not actually just like killing people. Yep. So she's like would have saved a lot of trouble. Yep. So she's like, what, what, what do I, uh, what do I do now? And, uh, for a J is there the guy who is moonlighting as a cook, uh, that's or the lights. Yeah. He's there. He's also keep me an eye on tool. So he knows who to be looking out for it. So that's fun. If we ever got more.
00:52:43
Speaker
After that, we go to penis coronation, peanut pledges for peace and also all that good stuff. And then we find out that Moses and um Guy have been, you know, with each other and very much with each other. They've been doing the fucking and we found out that she is multiple monks pregnant. Oh, monks pregnant. Yep, multiple monks. Yeah, that's what I said. Ayo. Bow a silence and bow this dick.
00:53:15
Speaker
ah
00:53:18
Speaker
ah Is that sacrilegious? and um Probably. Probably, I'm sorry. ah Yeah, but it was funny. It was stupid.
00:53:30
Speaker
That was silent and vow of this dick. Yep. Oh. Yeah, it's so when you multi class as a bard and monk in d and D&D. Oh, God. Yeah. But anyway, we find out the bozos is pregnant and she'd been shacking up with priest guy. Priest guy. Priest guy. Yep. And then we find out that beef eater. Yeah, he's the priest. Yeah, I mean, hey, it's on brand. I nailed it. That's definitely what I knew of and what I was the joke I was intending to make. But yeah.
00:54:08
Speaker
yeah Bee feeder is a super well-known character has also been shacking up with old guy. So That was never alluded to on screen and set for just now becoming a thing. Yeah, they were like getting rescued, uh bozos every theater and he carried her and like didn't put her down for a long time and she was like Yeah, exactly like that. And then I could I could hear you I could hear you even though you weren't saying shit. Um
00:54:40
Speaker
Oh, god okay. Um, but yeah, so beef eaters and old man be, uh, getting it up. Uh, they got some blue cheese and, um, yeah, it's good. Anyway, having fun with the flash. Yep. I'm just letting it fly. You know, Ooh, indeed. Uh, wait, I, I missed the golden opportunity. Bose is pregnant. He's milking. Hey. Oh. Oh. Oh. Correct. Anyway, we find out that Delilah is not dead, so that's cool. um Neither is Yana Gita.
00:55:21
Speaker
Yeah, and I like how Yanagita got stabbed and he's in a wheelchair. ah This bitch got shot multiple times and she's going behind him, pushing him in the wheelchair. And now they're shacking up? I guess so. Trauma bonding or trauma bondage. I don't know what they're into. Crazy. Oh, It's always the last, like, 15 minutes where we get our most absurd. Yeah. Anyway, we go from that to some light pedophilia. Oh, Sugawara. Sugawara. It'll be totally legal, I swear. It'll happen. It's fine. I'm going to wait. Jail bait. Anyway, ah Sherry and Sugawara are there. Sugawara is now Drake. um And yeah.
00:56:13
Speaker
We find out that Itame is missing because he's in Japan trying to go to the Anime Expo. um He begins walking and then fucking the girls show up and they're like, hey, what the fuck are you doing here? And then it causes a scene because they get recognized. And then he's like, I just want to go to my convention. And then the police show up and then they're like, hey, we should get you somewhere safe. And he's like, but I just want to go to the show. And then they're like, mm, getting my car. Uh, and so he does, he gets in the backseat and, uh, they're chilling there getting ready. And then who should walk by, but his ex wife, um, Rita. And she was like, what are you doing here? I just want to go to the convention. And she was like, man um, and.
00:57:01
Speaker
Yeah, on the map. No, he got a gate ends. ah He cried. He cries on his on his brochure. Yep. And yeah that's the end of gate. Mm hmm. Just like Inari, he cries and thus ends gate. Yep. Yep. All right. Final thoughts. Um. Overall, you know it was an enjoyable show to watch. It was a light watch. It was easy. It was fun. um Was it groundbreaking? No. Was it mind blowing? No. Did I enjoy myself? Yes. um Do I wish you the white that the writing might have been a little bit better also? Yes. Yes. But yeah.
00:57:48
Speaker
I don't say that i wasted time watching it good that's about the best i'm probably going to get okay so now the next question yes is before i tell you what went down for the rest of the novel. Yes. What do you think happens? I'll ask you a couple of questions and I want you to give me your best thought. I think that a civil war breaks out um and that ah the ah like shifter person, I think that he ah or they who can like shapeshift kills Shandy um in a fight. Good fucking prediction.
00:58:37
Speaker
ah i was like where is he i know where he's going ah This fucker stupid, um, but yeah, I believe that that happens it'll end with pina colada being queen Itami will probably be the new emperor or like man wife thing of pina colada and Rory Mercury will eventually ascend to godhood and bless Atome and be looking after him and Lele will be his ward for forever. Um,
Speculation on Manga Continuation
00:59:14
Speaker
even though again, light pitophilia and um, yeah.
00:59:21
Speaker
And Yow, I'm going to say Yow dies because why not? um Maybe the show I don't even I don't even know hard. OK, I was going to say maybe the show will have consequences and make it eventually. um But yeah, OK. So I found I found a guy on Reddit who basically breaks down the entire post show. Nice. We have Itami going on misadventures, some involving assassins, some zombies and then like very little of his adventures, except for the fact that we find out that the gate was opened by Hardy. Correct. ah Hardy opened the gate for her own entertainment because a whole bunch of shit always goes down when the gate opens and she likes the chaos.
01:00:11
Speaker
um Because the gate is still open. Unspeakable horrors are now going into the special region. Mm hmm. But they're also somehow going into Japan and instead of doing anything about it, they continue leaving the gate open and unobstructed because the Japanese have turned it into like a merchandising opportunity. Uh huh. And I believe start doing like tourism into the special region, but people keep getting killed. Nice. Welcome to Jurassic Park. Pretty much. And.
01:00:51
Speaker
The Civil War does happen. Uh-huh.
Bizarre Manga Plot: Gate to Arachnid World
01:00:55
Speaker
Zorzal's going out and doing- Team Iron Man by the way. What? I said Team Iron Man by the way. Shut the fuck up. So Zorzal's going out doing a guerilla campaign. And Toole is actively trying to sabotage his efforts by making them as public and obvious as possible, but the JSDF does pretty much nothing about it. Pina Colada's pro-peace faction is achieved and then the plot goes off the rails because the US, China, Russia, and literally every country on Earth decides to betray Japan.
01:01:33
Speaker
and go and try to take the gate all while Japan is still doing nothing. Mm hmm. Eventually they pull out of the gate, they start pulling out of the gate because the gate is deteriorating. Ooh. And the Chinese attack and almost destroy the gate completely. Yes. What happens next?
01:01:57
Speaker
I don't know. Lele accidentally opens the second gate. Oh, this is interesting. And it is and it is connected to.
01:02:10
Speaker
To America. The arachnid world from Starship Troopers. Wait, what? I yeah, this dude has to say multiple times in this post, he's like, I swear to God, I'm not making this up. It sounds like I'm lying. This is real. What? So it connects to the arachnid planet from Starship Troopers. Yeah. While everything is going to shit, Zorzal seizes the opportunity and goes Blitzkrieg and then massacres Pina Colada's forces. OK.
01:02:44
Speaker
He discovers that tool is betraying him and throws her in a dungeon. I'm not even going to say the next part because it's fucking obscene. Oh, God. There's a massive fight. The JSTF decide to fully pull out and close the gate. But some of the people from the JSTF stay and help Pina. Uh huh. While they are retreating, uh, tool is freed by the cook. the The Japanese spy who you were just like, man, I would have loved to see more than more of him. Yeah. This guy goes on to say that he is easily the worst character in the entire series. As he doesn't do anything. Pretty much, I would guess.
01:03:28
Speaker
Uh, so she because the Japanese are refusing to go and kill Zorzal, even still, she decides that she's going to go do it herself. So she stabs him. And then as he's dying, he breaks her neck. Cool. The Japanese fly in and napalm Zorzal's army. Yeah.
01:03:53
Speaker
Somehow with no explanation, the gate is opened again. Mm hmm. And then in Japan, the US retreats from Okinawa. because they lost 4000 soldiers, even though the Japanese really didn't do anything. Yeah. And Japan becomes a world power. Cool. Apparently the show did not get picked up because throughout the rest of the entire series, the
Upcoming Anime: My Hero Academia and Spy Family
01:04:24
Speaker
author, who everybody has kind of assumed and agreed that he's just an alcoholic. Mm hmm.
01:04:31
Speaker
goes on insane political ramblings in the story against Japan. Mm hmm. Her. And when the show is funded by the government, that tends to not. You know, go over well. You know, that'll do it. And it apparently brought the story down an insane amount. Cool. And that is how Gate ends. Nice. Yeah. Cool. So next week we'll be watching some My Hero Academia. Yes, we will.
01:05:11
Speaker
ah ah Does My Hero also have an alcoholic author who goes off the rails? No, I don't need you. He is currently in the process of writing the ending. No. Let's go, Daddy. Let's go, Daddy. Um, Papa, Father, Father, Father help. Um, but yeah. Um. cool so yeah that's great it's actually insane i love the show but even yeah even i have my gripes yep um yeah uh yeah it's a show and it exists and again not a bad show and we watched it not the best show um but a show top five it's a show
01:06:02
Speaker
We'll put it in my top 20. How about that? How many shows have you watched? and I think under 20. It's 19, but you've only watched like 19 shows. ah
01:06:16
Speaker
ah But yeah, now cool. Yeah, there's other shows ah which speaking of. Next week, yeah we're doing some My Hero. ah We're gonna be doing it sort of as like the mini arcs thing like we're doing with Naruto. So first four episodes of My Hero will be next week, episodes one through four getting into it, getting introduced to our boy Deku and yeah. We're gonna do four, and then we're gonna do five, and then we're gonna do another four, and then that'll be all of season one, and then we'll be transitioning into another show, and then coming back to My Hero in the future as well. I think we've already said what that other show is. I don't think we have. I think you mentioned it last week. Oh, if I did, I don't know. Crazy. um It's going to be some more Naruto. Oh, hell yeah. And then we'll be going into some more stuff from there. And I'm excited. But yeah, and can be I'm really I'm really hyped. It'll be I'm excited to rewatch it. I'm excited to watch all the fights and everything with you.
01:07:23
Speaker
If you've only watched it once, right? I ah know. Oh, I've watched it. This is my third time. OK, so because I binged it and I made my wife binge it as well. um And she enjoyed it as well. It's one of her favorites. ah She enjoys that. She I think she enjoyed my hero over G2 Kaizen and also over Blue Lock. um So, yeah. Oh, also ah in speaking about other animes ah yesterday, they announced Spy Family season three. Yep. Hell, yeah. Oh, that'll be hopefully better than season two.
01:08:03
