Speaker 3:Yeah, I heard. What was it like the first six episodes of crap. What was it that got leaked?
Speaker 1:It was mad stuff. Hold on, I got you right now.
Speaker 3:I heard it hit Crunchy too right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it affected Crunchy a bit because sure, some of the stuff that they may be showing at the same time, like uh ron behalf, which was one of the shows that got hit, that got like an episode release, well leaked I should say, yeah, it was six episodes, the first six episodes, that don don got leaked like the intro. Intro is already on tiktok. I ain't trying to hear it. I need to see the official.
Speaker 3:Yeah, what's in it coming out October yeah.
Speaker 1:October.
Speaker 3:Hey man it's right around the corner.
Speaker 1:Hold your horses. Oh man, this is crazy. Rezero Season 3. The first episode was leaked.
Speaker 3:Not my cup of tea, but I can see how unfortunate that might be for people.
Speaker 1:All of the episodes of the Terminator Zero anime got leaked. That's tough Crazy man.
Speaker 3:Isn't that a Netflix original?
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's tough. Arcane also got dropped, too Crazy. Then you have the Mananoke the movie. That's a.
Speaker 3:That was effective. They really did get hit hard, jesus yeah.
Speaker 1:And there was also a couple of the what's it called, just animated or just movie Netflix originals that also got up there. One was called Heartstopper, season 3. Whatchacallit, genchi, child vs the Underworld, and films like Plants and Movie and Spellbound were also leaked. So it's been crazy, were also leaked.
Speaker 3:So it's been crazy. Sorry, bro, I don't know what to tell y'all Y'all, the ones who started raising prices. This is only a matter of time. Somebody's gonna get you.
Speaker 1:Nah, this is wild.
Speaker 3:Hit them hard too.
Speaker 1:It's crazy, it's also affected some of the release dates too, for some of the things.
Speaker 3:Mmm, it's also affected some of the release dates too. For some of the things Can't say I condone it. But Nah, this shit is wild Damn. As someone who enjoys the week-to-week grind a little bit for anime, this is.
Speaker 1:It's crazy. It happens like months before your original um schedule is set out yeah, messing with the damn.
Speaker 3:They're gonna lose a lot of money off this too look.
Speaker 1:Luckily they were saying that they um the videos, those that were leaked on video, whatever um the quality was complete horseshit and okay they've been trying like the sites or whatever that had and that had it out there.
Speaker 1:They've been like scrubbing them off, so okay they're moving to get them to get it down and stuff, though, but, like I said, twitter, not twitter or tiktok. They have the, what you call it, since the six episodes of donna don the opening is up over there and now it's being, you know, used up on like just songs or whatever for the TikTok. So people getting over here hit with the leaks is crazy man.
Speaker 3:They tried to hit Japanese people for their intellectual property. That was a bad move in the first place. They don't play around with their intellectual property over there, bro. Nah, copyright strike you so fast. Not surprised all this is getting scrubbed off the internet.
Speaker 3:Scrubbed off, quote unquote um it's out there, but you know, that's his life. The the poor quality is, uh, I think, is a solid little, solid little break for them, though, because then that means it's not like super, yeah, watchable. That way they can still get their viewership. Yeah, I'm all this says to me it's gonna be great. You leaked it. That means it must be damn good.
Speaker 1:So I can't wait for don don don though yeah, yeah, I'm.
Speaker 3:Uh, as soon as that joins down, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, pick it right up and read it.
Speaker 1:It's gonna be awesome we spoke of it a little bit, though, but the olympics anime has been up in olympics they've been hitting Jojo poses.
Speaker 3:Jojo poses. Gear 2 poses. Somebody did the. I think I saw some. I don't know if this was CG, not CG, this was photoshopped or what, but some dude, you know the thing that had like a Mexican flag on.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, that was real yeah.
Speaker 3:He was doing the Luffy jump Like from Skypiea. It's hilarious, bro, bro. It really is becoming a real international thing, real cultural shift for for anime and manga it's everywhere now can't knock it, bro, and they tell you it's just a comic book or it's just a cartoon. You can tell yep, and everybody loves it still speaking of the olympics, though.
Speaker 1:have you seen? It's just a comic book or it's just a cartoon? Keep telling you.
Speaker 3:Everybody loves it. Still speaking of the Olympics, though, have you seen that terrible?
Speaker 1:breakdance them Australian ladies, bro, bro, she has a PhD in breaking.
Speaker 3:That's crazy. I'll never touch my chin again. I'll never fake breakdance again, because now I feel like I'm an idiot.
Speaker 2:I know I'm an idiot at doing it but that was crazy.
Speaker 3:I kept hearing about it too and I finally got the video from Kofi yesterday and I was like what did I just watch? I wasn't even mad or anything. I'm just like somebody sat in a room and said, yes, this is the best we got, this is it we could, this is how we're gonna win gold. This is how we're gonna win gold. They choreographed that, bro. You could see it on her face while she was doing it. She hit every move, just like they practiced.
Speaker 1:You said I'm killing this shit, right now she said they don't love this one okay, toe tap, toe tap so watch out now bro, she.
Speaker 3:She just had the moment of her life and then she watched the report and saw everybody's reaction. Now she's just probably wetting herself man, a competitor, smoked her it just be like that, bro. Some people just aren't meant to dance. Apparently, australians aren't meant to dance. At least that lady. What's a PhD in breaking, bro Bro.
Speaker 1:I don't know, man, I don't know.
Speaker 3:What school did you go to? Ew DeVry.
Speaker 1:College. I see DC College for breaking you got the games that you wanted to talk about yeah.
Speaker 3:So uh, games seem to be trying to reinvent themselves lately to what's been happening to suit their communities, kind of a kind of want your cake, you need it to situation. Uh, overwatch, famously overwatch. Well, overwatch 1.5. I play it, so I'm allowed to say it. Overwatch 1.5 is now officially going back to overwatch1 not officially, but I'm making a joke so they're going to test out 6v6 to go back to the original format for the game so basically stripping away everything that made it overwatch 2.
Speaker 3:Quote, unquote overwatch, because now the pve is gone. Right, the new format was here. Now they're potentially thinking about moving back to the old format. Crazy, what was the point of launching a new game? Like?
Speaker 1:really answer that question, like it should have just called the overwatch light bro.
Speaker 3:They even admitted that if they went back to overwatch one 6v6 format they may need to regress some of the systems to handle the load graphically so it doesn't like bro you just taking steps backwards and the community's been paying. We've been crying for and they're pandering. Personally, I don't think it's gonna work. Personally don't care. Either way, I'm still gonna play the game because I like the mechanics, I like the game, whatever, but my goodness, it's hilarious.
Speaker 1:It's funny as hell to me Also move to a real game, move to Marvel Rivals when that drops.
Speaker 3:Oh, when that comes out, I'm definitely going to play that. Eh, who knows, maybe it'll have a. Maybe it'll have a better grip on me than overwatch, does I?
Speaker 1:don't know.
Speaker 3:Man, yeah, you're an overwatch fan oh, also the evil stepchild of the gaming industry. Ea, they are what they did now. Oh, respawn is doing some stuff with apex, bro, they like overhauled a bunch of the mechanics. Uh, did some systems changes, character changes, passive changes, new map. Uh, they got a kimbo's and bro, it's all it. It's not. It's not a new game, but the way they changed it, it definitely plays different, plays better, feels better to play. Also, they added quads, which just feels like was the natural way to play the game in the first place that's crazy yeah, I think they really need to invest they should have just had quads and they should have just made it.
Speaker 3:Quads was it?
Speaker 1:was it just like um what you call it, like little temporarily mode or so?
Speaker 3:well, it's been in there since they put it in till the end of this season, so it's probably going to come back once everything's settled down Kind of like a little game, like Arenas was.
Speaker 3:No, no, no, it was in the core set, so it was trios and quads. Oh yeah, Interesting. Yeah, they're doing some weird stuff. They've been experimenting. They even changed around their battle pass. Now they got two battle passes split up. It's a bunch of stuff. So they're doing stuff in the game seems to be moving in a cool direction. Still same game. Still same game. Still shoots the same.
Speaker 3:So the third party, yeah, just different just a few different systems, so if you didn't like the core gameplay, isn't really gonna change anything for you, but if you like the core gameplay, you're just looking for a better experience overall. Yeah, definitely interesting if you want to go back and check it out, uh, on another note, this one's really good news what's up monster hunter wilds is looking funnest, bro just give me the hammer gameplay.
Speaker 1:I want to see hammer video man funnest I got.
Speaker 3:I got my own little tickle this morning. I first woke up this morning before recording. They dropped the Charge Blade gameplay and it looks so spectacular, so clean. I saw at least two new guard points, maybe three if my eyes don't deceive me. The Savage Axe is back. There's some like they seem to have iterated on the Axe gameplay, so it's more fluid, yeah.
Speaker 3:And the Axe gameplay actually uses the shield as a guard point. Now that's what it's doing, bro. It actually looks like it could be very, very fluid and very, very viable. In the same way, they made the Switch axe more fluid in uh, rise and sunbreak, because from right from world to rise and sunbreak, on um switch axes and um rise and sunbreak.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it was much more fluid bro and you could like, especially with rapid morph as a skill, you could just flow. I think rapid morph is, if it comes back in this game is going to be super duper good for this, for the charge blade, but I digress, I'm getting a little too geeky on the charge blade.
Speaker 1:I know you got questions I want the damn hammer video. Yes, yes, let me see the impact craters. Let me see some changes it's's going to be crazy.
Speaker 3:It's going to be crazy Also long sword drop.
Speaker 1:I didn't see the long sword video.
Speaker 3:Long sword was looks good, it was long.
Speaker 1:It's long sword.
Speaker 3:It didn't get too much to me, to be honest. Helm's spirit look is a little bit different. The meter looks a little bit cooler and it's a little bit more mobile. Actually a lot more mobile, All right. If it was something that felt too stationary for you, like for me, it might be something to check out now. So there's that, but again, too much to go into. Maybe we'll talk about this in another episode. There's going to be a few more drops a weapon a day.
Speaker 1:So by the time the next one comes out, we can go over all the weapons and most likely going to be what they already started doing half of it, right? Yeah, yeah, they should most likely be done by this week. Yeah, yes, but they also dropped a video, too, of the systems.
Speaker 3:Yeah, also uh, there was a what was it? An earnings call, something like that for capcom a few weeks ago. Turns out they're looking for reports for this game for the end of this fiscal year, which means we could probably get this game as early as the holiday season or early next year, because the fiscal year might be in march.
Speaker 1:I see that they might just do it early next year. Yeah, like a january release, because that's how they've been doing like for the most of them right for most of them, that's my guess.
Speaker 3:But to be honest, why miss the christmas season, dropping it like, I don't know, early december? That would be nice that's me saying it be cool, be cool, be cool, uh, also that would be a nice surprise.
Speaker 1:Actually facts. I need something for de.
Speaker 3:That is true, Sticking with games. Evo. Evo was crazy. A punk on the rise, bro. I'm just saying my man bro home to go.
Speaker 1:He won it.
Speaker 3:So punk is the name of the gamer. Was the first black gamer to win Street Fighter at Evo Street Fighter 6, bro, we ain't won Street Fighter in years of the gamer was the first black gamer to win street fighter at evo.
Speaker 1:So street fighter, six bro, we had. We won a street fighter in years, crushed it, killed it, man. So congrats to punk shout out to punk.
Speaker 3:Shout out to punk. A lot of having to.
Speaker 1:I'm not the fighting game guy, so they drop mad videos um Lucy from what you call it Cyberpunk. It's going to be a guest character in what you call it Guilty Gear.
Speaker 3:Okay, never mind, I don't care. I'm kidding. If it's not Soul Calibur, it's hard to get me to talk about fighting games.
Speaker 1:Bro, just go get you an anime fighter.
Speaker 3:That's what Sparking Zero is going to be bro.
Speaker 1:Sparking Zero is like the Budokai Tenkaichi.
Speaker 3:Yeah, bro, that's my anime fighter, you have fighters, I see you in Fighters 2. I would play Fighters 2. I did play Fighters for a little bit. I would play Fighters 2. Fighters 2 is fine.
Speaker 1:Yeah Yo, I'm actually kind of mad because right now they got the alpha for 2RKO, the league game, the League of Legends fighter game. I've been watching videos of it. It looks so clean and so crisp and it's a tag thing. So literally you your boy fighting other people online 2v2.
Speaker 3:Bruh. I feel called out Bruh die. I don't play fighting games. And I feel called out Crazy man. I guess I have to invest in this. What's this called?
Speaker 1:2KO, 2ko.
Speaker 3:He's going to be on the 5? Yeah.
Speaker 1:Okay, alpha test People who got in the alpha test. They are playing it on console and PC.
Speaker 3:Oh, I'll check it out. Yeah, yeah, we could be wrecking people on the internet.
Speaker 1:It's crazy man.
Speaker 3:I'm gonna have to learn how to play a fighting game.
Speaker 1:Then we got the crazy Ross of League of Legends. Ah man. Only way to oh, I to play a fighting game.
Speaker 3:Then we got the crazy.
Speaker 1:Ross of League of Legends, oh man.
Speaker 3:Only way to win. Oh, I'll play as Jinx.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, she is in the game. Yeah, they showed her. I don't know if she's in a test one the alpha test though, but she's definitely in the game though.
Speaker 3:I'll play as Jinx. I'll play as Jinx. That'll be crack, a lot of good shit. So I'm definitely going to check that that one out to. To KO, yeah yeah. So also we got a lot of characters announced at Evo for a lot of different games, so we did that Guilty Gear.
Speaker 1:I know, I know I mentioned Lucy. She's like supposed to be next year for. Guilty. Gear, but they also announced going continuing on for season four.
Speaker 3:they got dizzy, return to dizzy and venom like spider-man forgive me for sounding like a dummy but I've never played guilty gear so I have no clue what's going on. Is this like a collab, or is that?
Speaker 1:like no, no, that's an actual character okay cool, okay this hasn't placed cool, cool, cool, cool.
Speaker 3:Look. I can remain ignorant. I can ask the question.
Speaker 1:Yeah, now Venom's coming back. I'm kind of hyped to see what they're going to do for his kid.

Speaker 1:So it's been a minute. People have been asking for ghost face for the longest bro, these guys are perfect for. I'm surprised about um, because a perfect mk I'm surprised about the T-1000, though it's interesting, though I'm hyped for it. They also announced two what.
Speaker 3:That silence was hysterical.
Speaker 1:They also announced what you call it Sector and Cyrax, as well as Noob Cyborg too, for the what you call it New season. There you go. Well, not the new season, though, but the story mode. We get there somehow. What you call that New season? There you go. Well, not the new season, though, but the story mode.
Speaker 3:We get there somehow. Terrible words. Words is hard sometimes. That's a fact. Yo, they're really showing off with all the characters, bro. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Six of them. They showed off a little story trailer for it. It was kind of cool.
Speaker 3:Is that like the characters throughout the whole year coming next? Or is that like one like, at least for?
Speaker 1:season two because they just finished with season one with Takeda. Mm-hmm. Who knows, we'll see if they even do a season three. What do they do? They usually do like multiple one character is like yeah, like one character is. Well, it's like multiple seasons, those like six characters. They're going to be showing up but they'd be thrown for like a cross of the actual seasons copy copy, copy, that's cool that's what. That's what they've been doing with fighting games now as a whole.
Speaker 3:Honestly nah, games is a live service. Don't you love it, crazy man? Alright, and now to wrap up the Speed Blitz fire ass news. They announced the assembly of the Avengers for the One Piece, bro. They got everybody's in there. Everybody, bro. People from Attack on Titan. What was it? The director from Attack on Titan?
Speaker 1:yeah, from WIT Studio one. So that's when.
Speaker 3:Attack on Titan. What was it? The director from Attack on Titan? Yeah, from WIT Studio one. So that's when Attack on Titan was back on their thing, not with MAPPA. Oh, the OG anime. Oh, I did like their animation better too, and he said that he loves.
Speaker 1:One Piece. Bro he had to step up for the call.
Speaker 3:I swear I saw, when you showed me them today, the shocks, bro, if that is what the animation looks like and they do it and look, look, oh it's. I'm just gonna say it from what I saw today. Whether you like the style or not, when it's all said and done, that shit is gonna be a legendary anime to match a legendary manga.
Speaker 1:Wiz Studio is actually very clean. Oh man, so good. It's such a unique animation style it is, it's pretty nice.
Speaker 3:And it's done well, and the characters look like the actual characters and it doesn't take anything away from the panel. Looks really cool. Looking forward to that Such a good time.
Speaker 1:Damn. You got the Toei one piece. You got the remake, the Wit Studio remake. You got the freaking live action. Speaking of the live action, season two is looking good. They already did all the castings for the. For the rest of the Borough Works.
Speaker 3:Oh, for real, I gotta go back and look at that. We should. We'll get back to you guys on that one. I'm gonna post that on the Instagram or something once we find it.
Speaker 1:Speaking of if you ain't following. I mean you should be following because we always. You should be following Because we always dropping stuff.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that is true In another world pod on Instagram. In another world podcast.
Speaker 1:Facebook, and then Truckoon Talk on Twitter.
Speaker 3:Yep, you know where to find us. Ah, came early that time. Ah, that's very, that's very. Yeah, that's good. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. So the question.
Speaker 1:Question of the episode. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:The question was Hold on, don't be a dope.
Speaker 1:The question was I got you. The question was what makes a power system great and why. What's some of your favorites?
Speaker 3:I personally find this to be a very interesting question.
Speaker 1:This was a good one.
Speaker 3:Yes, so don't laugh. But me and Mo are kind of writing a story. So the question popped into my head and I figured you know what. Let's just ask, because it is an interesting question Power systems. People love to power scale. Don't know why, but it seems to be at the forefront of everybody's cortex in life recently. So I wanted to pick everybody's reign. What makes your favorite power system so good, you know so?
Speaker 1:I was able to get some answerswers. Responses from y'all.
Speaker 3:There's some solid ones too. We'll be getting Digi, megan and Neville.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and then I think CJ had also Said something too.
Speaker 3:Yes and CJ Alright, so you wanna start with?
Speaker 1:I'm gonna start with Megan. Go for it. Megan said Creativity for her. She considered when she considers a power system, she considers it like part of the world building. So she think power systems Work well that are creative and simple. If something's too convoluted it can easily get messy With the world.
Speaker 3:That is fair. Once your power system Starts doing too much, it gets a little bit harder to track too.
Speaker 1:Yeah, there has to be some level of groundedness.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you didn't get people pulling off bullshit because the rules are loose, but you know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you definitely went over with some BS. Yeah.
Speaker 3:I mean, I don't want to sidetrack, but I think that might be part of what people Dislike about the Sukuna stuff too Feels like the system Is so loose that he's just exploiting it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, he's Definitely running that system at A thousand.
Speaker 3:That's actually a really good point making sure that the system is like simple, but not like Also exploitable.
Speaker 1:Yeah, what you got.
Speaker 3:Well, yeah, digi said that the power system, that multiple general techniques and depth in a character's ability should show variety among the different different characters. So characters being able to like, use that while how creative they can use the power within the exactly like more than one concept within this power system and being able to use the power system at use those concepts at a higher level to like show, like the distinction in their ability. So, yeah, I feel like that's very good. Uh, who, who does that really good really well to know then, yeah, hunter, hunter.
Speaker 3:Yes, hey, get a little note. So multiple things to learn, like abilities to sense things, creating a nen barrier while creating their own abilities can be very unique and become better with the, the vile system, with the vile system. I'm not super familiar with nen, but I know that is good yeah, some people they their.
Speaker 3:The abilities are always like super diverse, like uh, netero with the buddhist, uh techniques. And then I heard there was another chick who could like um, what's she doing? She could like reanimate uh, uh corpses and shit or like some kind of manipulation technique. Where in the I gotta get out of the youtube rabbit hole, bro, because I'm trapped in just trapped in the youtube rabbit hole. I wish I could explain this better to you guys, but I know exactly what the video turned to 20, huh, yeah I know, I know exactly what digi means like.
Speaker 3:Seeing a character really like excel at using the concepts in the power system really does make it seem like fulfilling yeah because then it really is. It gives it layers exactly like you know you could really tell a character's like a badass. They put the work in. That is always something rewarding to see. Yeah, nah, all right, uh who else?
Speaker 1:um, I had one from what to call it. I had one from cj. He didn't go really all too much in it, though, but main things that he wanted to harp on was balance, consistency and originality. Those are the things he finds make a good power system yeah, that seems similar to what digi is saying too.
Speaker 3:Like originality, uh, balance is really good. I think that's something that should always be considered, because then you don't want like bro, you could. You could be creative and, like, push the limits, but like also not one thing be too exploitable, that could be problematic. Oh, you know who does diversity and creativity really well? Who Bleach, bleach was diverse. Yeah, yeah, there's a lot of solid core concept like Flash, Step, Reatsu, Control, Hado Kido. And then you had the originality, which came from awakening forms from the resurrection forms.
Speaker 1:Resurrection forms kind of went wild and I ain't gonna lie yeah, they really did.
Speaker 3:Even some of the buffs and the boosts that you got from they're really cool. So, yeah, no, that's a really good idea. A balance like core of powers surrounded by and then the quincy's game dynamic catalysts. The abilities were cool as hell too. Like I'll never forget grammy, I'll never not bring grammy up. Grammy's ability was fire.
Speaker 1:Very simple imagination, but very fire they did have a lot of freaking breaking, broken ones, oh my god bro, freaking bahala mm-hmm.
Speaker 3:As long as your react to could hope it's good, maintain it. You were just could be as broken as you wanted to, as broken as your imagination would let you be, and it worked. Didn't feel like overpowered, served the narrative it was cool.
Speaker 3:The other one we got came from Neville Neville. Everybody seems to be echoing the same thing mostly. So Neville's example that he gave is the system from Avatar with bending Like you are. I think it's a little different in that you are like select in being able to be a bender. So whatever the power system has, it's rare for you to have it, but you have the ability to get it and even in that small pool of people you are.
Speaker 1:There's different levels to it.
Speaker 3:You're just that guy and stuff like and something like that is very cool. Like he said, king Booming or Toph is a good example of that, because both of them really excelled at what they did, but then they were in that rare pool of people who were offenders in general.
Speaker 1:So freaking tough, learn how to metal bend. She is the originator of metal bending.
Speaker 3:Yeah, she invented at a young age too.
Speaker 1:Bro. Then it was lava benders in the comics and stuff.
Speaker 3:Yeah, look at Cora. Look how far metal bending took him the whole police force. It's crazy bro.
Speaker 1:Yo, it was wild with those, what you call them Taser whips.
Speaker 3:Mm-hmm, and this actually shows Megan's example too, how powers involve world building.
Speaker 1:Yep how it can elevate the story.
Speaker 3:Exactly. Avatar is an excellent example of that, because it shows how the world is shaped by bending in general, and bending came from spirits. Yo, it was crazy. I love Korra. Korra is good. I love Aang. Don't get me wrong, but I think Korra complete story bro.
Speaker 1:It gets a lot of hate, though, but Korra is good. Korra is good.
Speaker 3:Very good story, very complete story. Really opened up the universe Of Avatar for me, so Can't complain.
Speaker 1:You went to write on animals and pulling cards and stuff to actual, actual automobile bills and stuff.
Speaker 3:Alright, so Give me your answer.
Speaker 1:My answer Damn, it's a little bit from what everybody else said but, I agree that a power system, a good power system, something that's kind of grounded, it should always be, I feel, what makes it strong, Having some type of rules and stuff. That way nothing's being exploited, Nothing's too ridiculous now but also some bit of complexities. Creativity, I feel, is the highest what you would need for a good battle system and something you know, just the balance of it all to just meld it together, Because things can get overpowering sometimes and crazy. I mean. Sheesh, Naruto's not really fair when you think about it.
Speaker 3:That's true. There are a lot of hacks in Naruto Dude.
Speaker 2:God damn, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you so much, I Dude, god damn, I hate you, I hate you.
Speaker 1:I hate you, I hate you so much you thought about it I hate you so much.
Speaker 3:I hate you so much. We have this conversation all the time about Sharingan's and how dominant they are in the story. But Completely, but at the end of the day it's a narrative force in the story it drives the plot forward. So in the story it drives the plot forward.
Speaker 1:So I get it, but I also get what you're saying, just kills it Because they were very overpowered? You're telling me that they're not. No other family seems nearly as crack. Yeah, I can't argue with you I get a dojutsu that can copy jutsus and the few people I can have top tier genjutsu the average.
Speaker 3:I can reality warp, bro, the average. Okay okay, you got it, you got it, you got it. I'll concede to you this one time.
Speaker 1:Ain't nothing grounded about OTIs and R2s. Nah, they're pretty broken Bro you mean to say I get to shoot black flames that could last on for seven days, or until I decide I just want to turn it off. Fine, I get it, you win Anyway.
Speaker 3:Black flames that could last on for seven days, or until I decide I just want to turn it off. Fine, I get it, you win. Anyway, fairness. Which is important in a power system.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I agree, though. Yeah, no, I fully agree. I think fairness is very important in a power system. Me, personally, I prefer a system of balance. I don't like making stuff overpowered for the sake of making stuff overpowered. I like stuff that makes sense. So, personally, me, if you're really like, how do I make this make sense? Oh, I'm gonna go back to bleach for an example. Uh, if you read the Thousand Year Blood War, or if you didn't, I'm gonna spoil you, but If you did, then you understand what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:Which one are you talking about from them I?
Speaker 3:mean they already animated it, so if you haven't read it or watched it, then you're probably not a Bleach fan. Which one is this? I'm talking about Rukia, oh Fear. No, not Fear, I'm talking about rookie. Is bankai. Oh oh, oh yeah. So I I like balance, I like fairness, I like drawbacks, personally. So the way our rookie is like really new with her bankai and if she uses it too fast or too aggressively or doesn't it's very conscious, exactly, there's adverse effects.
Speaker 3:So I like things to make sense, I like for things to like, link into things, and I guess this usually would harken back to the same thing that megan was saying about like world building, because stuff like that tends to create a narrative around the character, like a another layer underneath the story I do sometimes feel like, with some things, power with, with some souls, when it comes to power system, world building is definitely lost on it yeah, yeah, as much as much as I made fun of jjk earlier for how loose binding vows are, a lot of the other stuff with curse energy is actually very restrictive.
Speaker 3:Like you can't spam your domain, use your domain, you get uh, curse technique burnout. You can't use your curse technique, you can't spam your domain, you have to wait for a cooldown. It's stuff like that.
Speaker 1:There's complexities with it. Yeah, where it's like it's not nearly as loose.
Speaker 3:Exactly that's what makes binding vows so weird in the story, because binding vows there's no real drawback you do it. If you break it, especially binding vows at yourself.
Speaker 1:You do it, you break it, you lose what you got. That's about it. There's no restriction. You break a binding vow another person. We don't know what that restriction is. It's flexible on um. It's flexible and like the losses, where it just doesn't.
Speaker 3:I still think that's gonna come back. By the way, that didn't happen for no reason, bro. That didn't happen for no reason, bro. We'll see, we'll see. I swear, I swear anyway, yeah, but no, I think that's really important in the power system, because then you can build it into the story and build narratives around it, because then you can add stakes. Yeah, you know what I mean. Like you think of yourself in a fight, you try to spam your abilities. You can't spam your abilities because if you do, you'll be too weak and you can't defend yourself, and then you have another layer to the combat that needs to be taken into account.
Speaker 1:It just I think it adds more yeah, and also especially too, where, like, if your character hits that ceiling within that power system, how creative you want the character to get around it exactly exactly because that's what like makes like unique people unique.
Speaker 3:You find that way. You find that extra gear that other average people can't find yeah well it works, I guess, but all these stuff in combination would definitely be the perfect power system, right? Yeah don't you love it? We should write our story. We should write our own story. All should write our own story, All of us. Let's put our heads together and write our own story. That'd be good. Could make this the round table. Digi, CJ, Neville, Megan, Maurice and Kaz. We got this. Ah, let's go.
Speaker 1:All right, Damn. I gave you some real good questions, some real good answers for that, for real.
Speaker 3:Didn't expect that.
Speaker 1:We appreciate y'all.
Speaker 3:Let me shut the fuck up. I always say I don't expect it, but I always expect it. You guys never fail us. You guys are great. Yeah, so summer's kicking off. You went to Evo Deadpool dropped. I didn't go to Evo Deadpool dropped, I didn't go to Evo. I said Evo you know what I mean. Dreamcon you went to DreamCon. You need to go.
Speaker 1:We'll talk about that.
Speaker 3:Evo's in Vegas. Dreamcon might actually. I heard DreamCon might be in Vegas this year.
Speaker 1:Oh, they actually announced it too. What Houston.
Speaker 3:It's going gonna be in houston. Lying bastards isn't rdc even houston, though, yeah, so they ain't going nowhere, vegas was a lie.
Speaker 1:It was a lie, it was a little lie just chapping their gums actually you did a funny video about that they did.
Speaker 3:Yeah, oh, dude, you got jerks. I swear to god, bro, a lot of them you get under my skin. They're mad funny though. They're mad funny though. But yeah, nah 25, we're going to be in Houston. All right, we out, bro and Brian and them said they might want to come too, so this could be the guy's trip next year bro.
Speaker 1:What's up? Speaking?
Speaker 3:of cons for a brief bit. We're going to Anime nyc facts. So if you guys are coming, let us know. We'll link up with you guys, say what's up what up? Yeah, we haven't met any of you guys yet. Well, I'm lying, well we were making, but you don't really count, but you know yeah, yeah but yeah you know, shoot a message.
Speaker 1:We definitely let us yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, bro, we'd love to meet y'all, do a little. We might do some Quick Q&A that we'll Break down and stuff. We're gonna try to think Of some cool stuff.
Speaker 1:I'll be seeing some videos Of it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so We'll see what's up. That is Coming up this summer as well. More summer, shit. It's not the best season for anime. I will acknowledge that.
Speaker 1:I think it's a very light season which is good. I don't mind having a little light.
Speaker 3:That's a cool new stuff, nothing too crazy. I think Slice of Life might be on the brighter side this time around. A couple of my favorites this year are on the brighter side this time around. A couple of my favorites this year on the slower side new seasons or just a new new series?
Speaker 3:new series oh okay, so it's interesting. One of them is gonna be mad funny. Which one is that. You know what I'm gonna start with that. Judge me if you want. Judge me if you want. But I caved because I was bored one day, just to see if this was as gross as I thought it would be.
Speaker 3:It was not. It was much better than I thought it would be. Days with my stepsister Judge me if you want, I don't care. Terrible man Bro. They're basically like strangers 17, 17. Their parents get married. They wind up having to live together. Their parents get married. They wind up having to live together.
Speaker 3:They wind up bonding over her lack of dealing with people yes, exactly, she's not used to like having siblings and like interacting with other people regularly, so she because she's like a one of those loner style people so and he's more of like a he's outgoing I don't want to say he's outgoing, but he's a very reasonable person. Very well.
Speaker 3:So he has like a little switch or so yeah, so he's able to, like, guide her through certain things and help her like, uh, learn now how to start dealing with people. And obviously two 17 year olds, like I said, perfect strangers they might as well have met at school. If they met at school and the step, step thing didn't happen until later in series, it would be a different story. But obviously the taboos around it it's not that I acknowledge it, whatever, but to be honest, cool though yeah, it's on.
Speaker 3:It's on the slower side. So if you're not interested in that like conversational kind of style anime, because there's very few different settings, there's not a lot of different characters involved, it's mostly interactions between him and her and a few other side characters here there. So, yeah, might not be for you. I find it interesting, I don't know. Let's see where it goes. That's the point I'm at. So yeah, um, so yeah, watching a few other things, but not too much like super duper, noteworthy, no-transcript I'm butchering the name I'm not remembered I'm butchering the name like a maniac.
Speaker 1:That's not it why I'm not remembered in my world why does nobody remember me in this world?
Speaker 3:there you go, I'm a butcher it's fine though it's fine, though that one, uh, I'm watching that.
Speaker 3:That one's okay, very average, is what it is. There's also, uh, is it isekai? Yeah, well, no, not technically it. I don't want to get too much into this one because it's not like I don't think it's like the best ones. Like, if you're looking for something like generically actiony, uh, kind of magical, kind of cool, yeah, you can watch this animation's not like top tier for the fights, but looks like they might spend some money later on down the line to like show one of the big fights. Uh, yeah, uh, I don't think it's the best of the model there.
Speaker 1:Uh, it is very isekai-ish, um, okay so it got like some of the tropes, the fantasy tropes that you see nowadays. Yeah, if you weren't paying attention.
Speaker 3:You watch it in the middle you think it was an isekai. Uh, there's like shoshimen, which, which is how to Become Ordinary. That one's a slice of life, pretty solid. There's also the other slice of life. This is my favorite one. So sorry, everything I'm watching this season. This is my favorite anime that I've watched this season. It's called Makine. Too Many Losing Heroines. Hilarious, hilarious, hilarious. So funny and I'm going to rewatch it in dub because I think the dub is going to be hilarious and fantastic.
Speaker 1:What is it even about? What's going on with this one?
Speaker 3:So this one is about this young man. He's in school and he, incidentally, starts to befriend girls who have recently been rejected by, uh, the people they like. So it starts with makine.
Speaker 3:I see it starts at makine, popular chick, super cute by uh, anime standards, you know. So she's the popular cute chick. She gets rejected by her childhood best friend for her best friend. So she's distraught about it. And but she's stuck between them because childhood best friend for her best friend. So she's distraught about it. But she's stuck between them because childhood best friend plus her female best friend. Now they're together. Blah, blah, blah. Whatever drama, blah, blah, blah. But he also starts to befriend this other chick who's in his literature club who gets rejected by one of the presidents in the literature club because they're dating someone else in the literature club. You see what I'm saying. It's like everybody knows everybody, everybody likes everybody, and he just happens to be befriending the people who are getting rejected. So now he has this weird little harem of sorts. It's mad funny bro. There's this little the tropey black tomboy girl, the shy weeby girl and then the popular pretty chick, the interactions they get into. It's bad funny.
Speaker 3:Right now it's a little tidbit mackinac is going through like the stages of depression almost and now she's in the phase where she's like accepting it, bro, when I tell you she pulled out a self-help book and started floating in the air lights behind her, like oh started floating in the air lights behind her like, oh sure it is, man, I'm over, bro, it's actually really funny.
Speaker 3:It's really charming, uh, very funny. The characters are very lovable, so that was very interesting to check out. Uh, on the action front, uh, you know my hero's continuing. Yeah, uh, monogatari is out. That's like a psycho kind of actiony, very cerebral. I'm waiting for that to finish, just because See what's up with them?
Speaker 3:You know they do the out of order thing with the episodes. Right now I think episode one that's listed on Crunchyroll is technically episode three, so I just want to watch them in order when it's all over. I'm not going to bust my brain doing that. There's also the Elusive Samurai. I haven't started it, but it looks good holding my breath. Very pretty to look at, very pretty to look at kind of slow to start gonna go back and watch it once.
Speaker 3:a few more episodes are out. Stay tuned. Looking into our last crusade of the rise of a new world, animation looks really fire. Thought it was CG slash 3D animation at one point. Turns out it wasn't. I was just really mistaken. That's how cracked the animation was. Bam Scared me for a second.
Speaker 1:That cracked it and made you think that it was freaking. 3d.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, yeah. So far favorite action, not the best animation, because it's a weird mix of CG and line animation. It's really awkward Failure frame.
Speaker 1:I'm sorry.
Speaker 3:No Failure frame. Failure, failure frame. I really like it's about this generic isekai formula, kind of in the arifuerta style, where the dude gets reincarnated, well, gets isekai to another world with his uh, classmates, bunch of scumbags, mix of scumbags and shitheads is that the one where like the um, the goddess, yeah, the summoner chick, and then she's like ruthless, or whatever?
Speaker 1:yeah, and she sends him into the dungeon I didn't get to see it, it was good yeah, yeah, I like it.
Speaker 3:I think the story is better than um what I think would be its contemporary this season, which is the one about why no one remembers me in in this world I think that's probably the one that's most similar in style.
Speaker 3:I think the story for this one's better. Uh, neither is animations, like knocking me out of the park, like making me think, oh my god, bust your head to go watch these things. No, they're okay, but I like failure frame story a lot. Uh, there is like one little weird thing Whoever's riding it has a weird rape kink. Yeah, what? Yeah, so it's like Grape. Not the grape, it's not shown, but trigger warning. It's used as like a kind of like a threat quite frequently in the beginning.
Speaker 3:So yeah, kind of threw me off a little bit. Might drop it if it continues too much, because that stuff is kind of weird for me sometimes. Just depends on how it's done. Last thing I'll mention is Alia sometimes hides her feelings in Russian, I heard. It's actually mad funny.
Speaker 1:I heard that it was funny. It's actually mad funny.
Speaker 3:Is it good? It's actually mad funny I heard them.
Speaker 1:I'm going to have to check it.
Speaker 3:Risky sent me some of the panels for the manga super ecchi manga, not as ecchi in the anime. There's a few moments where you're like crazy, but it's not like dominating the whole thing and it's also genuinely funny and the characters are really funny okay, okay yeah, bro, if you just read the way they talked, just read the subtitles, you're gonna be like what, what is wrong with you?
Speaker 1:what. I'll check out season um. I'm saying, I'm saying season one.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'll check out episode one, see how it is I think episode like three was my favorite, where he, like uh, finally talks to his sister about one of his choices that he made. Funny as hell. Her reaction mad funny, mad funny. His sister's also a maniac. She like sets him up. He's got like this weird, like uh bro conch thing going on and she sets him up all the time. It's hilarious, damn it's hilarious, bro. Um, what it's hilarious, bro. What else is on my list? I think that's the whole damn thing. But it's fine Slow season, but fall is supposed to be lit.
Speaker 1:We'll see what happens. Now, fall always brings the bangers. Yeah, I think my list is much smaller, but still funny. Much smaller but still funny.
Speaker 1:I have the Osan Nubi, adventurer trained to death by the most powerful party and became invincible. It's, you know, usual. It's not Isekai, but fantasy in the sense where, like, they have leveling systems and stuff like that up in mind, magic and stuff, but pretty hilarious. I mean, they tortured that man for sure. It was like that, bro one. So he's 30.
Speaker 1:How it runs in his world is he was like a guild, um, a guild receptionist. So he was always given the adventurers quests and stuff like that and whatnot. He always wanted to be a venturer. He's in his 30s, mind you. So he's like oh, my dream is to be a venturer and whatnot, I guess finally gets tired and gets enough of it. And then he's like, ends up meeting this crazy od strong party and whatnot, and then for two years he trains under them. Man comes back ridiculous, buffed up, destroying stuff. Mind you, when he's first brought into the story, they say like oh, his evaluation is an F-rank adventurer because he can't do like, it's not picking up what he's putting down. Pretty much Bro ends up walling out. He's too strong. But the people, his party, his team team, his past um the party who he's trained with pretty much was killing him and he had to keep bringing him back. That's his training. He was just cooked man that's crazy.
Speaker 3:You got any other recommendation?
Speaker 1:um, I just started this one, but what was it? The not allowed to live.
Speaker 3:Oh, dude, I forgot to mention that one, but I'm definitely going to check it out.
Speaker 1:That's funny. It's funny. I figured it would be bro.
Speaker 3:It's hilarious. He just wants to retire.
Speaker 1:I mean like For lack of better words.
Speaker 3:Yes, he just wants to be on a t-shirt, he just wants to exit life, and they just won't let him.
Speaker 1:A man walked up there so many times like saying oh, come on, I'm right here, I'm just, you know, just do it, just do it. They all looking at him like saying yeah, nah, hold on. What's the name of it, damn.
Speaker 3:It is called no Longer Allowed in Another World.
Speaker 1:No Longer Allowed in Another World, no Longer Alive in Another World. Yeah, yes, that's good. Plus, homeboy is also like a poet, so his cadence when he's talking to people has like that poetry type feeling, when he's like he's very flowy. He's very flowy. He's dripped out. Bro. My man is just raising up people just over here giving them.
Speaker 3:Sound like a Johnny Depp style character. He might as well be. No, but he's swagged out. He's cool. Okay, I'm going to check that one out. I'm going to check that one out, alright.
Speaker 1:There's also Wistoria. Oh, sword and wand yeah crack animation.
Speaker 3:Animation is definitely fire on that.
Speaker 1:We gotta watch that after this yeah, um, that's right what you're calling here mc's a little bit meek, I know he. I just want him to pop out more, that's all I'll. I just want him to pop out more, that's all I'll say. I just want him to just pop out.
Speaker 3:You watched last week's episode. Did you watch last week's episode? I watched last week's episode.
Speaker 1:Cool, I just need him to be on that, All right back.
Speaker 3:Moving forward. I just need that energy. All right, hold on. I need pop-out energy. Mark this day, Mark this day.
Speaker 1:He needs to have it just constantly on it, just constantly on it.
Speaker 3:He gonna eat these words.
Speaker 1:I feel it, I feel it, I feel it. If they give me next week's episode and he's back to being meek about shit bro.
Speaker 3:He got that fire, bro. I'm telling you, he got that fire. Bell who, bell who. That's all I gotta say Damn man, it's crazy.
Speaker 1:You don't care about Bell, no more.
Speaker 3:I love Bell. Don't get me wrong. Don't get me wrong. I love Bell. Bell's my guy. He's the Argonaut.
Speaker 1:But yeah, that's pretty much some of the stuff that I got, aside from the usual ones that's already ongoing.
Speaker 3:If you want to skip out on some my Hero spoilers, jump to 110. Otherwise, enjoy.
Speaker 1:So my Hero spoilers jump to 110. Otherwise, enjoy. So my Hero finally ended and it's been 10 long years 10 long sad years. Not all sad.
Speaker 3:I'm sad. Now it's over.
Speaker 1:That is true.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm going to miss my Hero.
Speaker 1:You think they're going to have like like a little side thing for it?
Speaker 3:I hope so. I mean, if it stayed gone, I mean I wouldn't care, well not, let me not phrase it like that. I think if it stayed gone, I think I'd be okay yeah I understand them like ending the story this concisely because then it just keeps it nice and tidy, I'll be all right with that too yeah, plus horry started to kind kinda Get rushed at the end of it. So Could be for the best anyway.
Speaker 1:I definitely would love to see A new project from Hori when he when he fills up to it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, to be honest, yeah, bro, go monthly, start doing. Yeah, I would love to see. We've talked about this before.
Speaker 1:I think that he should definitely Move to a monthly thing. Yeah, I think that he should definitely move to a monthly thing. I think a lot of them should At least to a bi-weekly, if anything At least.
Speaker 3:That's what Kishi did when he was done. He was like let me retire. And then he came back Let me go monthly. Let me go monthly, let me go monthly. I think this is good. Monthly is a good place to be, but, yeah, no, I think he'd be nice at horror. Yeah, yeah, he seems to be With the last recent stuff with horror.
Speaker 1:yeah, with the last couple of seasons or arcs of my Hero, he's definitely been leaning in with the whole horror thing dismemberment, all that disconfiguration.
Speaker 3:Yeah, could be interesting.
Speaker 1:Controversial ending. I think it was an alright ending. I don't think it's as bad as people are making it out. Yeah. I think the hate that has been getting for it is definitely over the place. It's not worth it. It's definitely over the place it's not worth it.
Speaker 3:I guess not Preface this by saying that we are definitely 100% biased because we do like my Hero, but I can understand where some of the community is coming from. There were definitely some choices made in the final arc that I didn't love either. Uh, particularly stuff like with uh bakugo. I read an interesting conversation with bishop yesterday.
Speaker 1:Um, I don't, I don't like fake outs personally yeah, no fake outs, I agree, are they feel tacky after they are yeah, one of the things that I can't uh like I could, I didn't like with fairy tale was the amounts of fake outs that they did go on with it, yeah, and uh this was just just cop out.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I, I'm not gonna lie to you, I did the. The master was supposed to die at one point in fairy tale and then he wanted not dying and stuff like that. It really does take you out of the story, especially the when in the story it's executed like early on. Yeah sure, you probably justify it with something if you're good enough for writing the story, but like the stage it happened with bakugou, it's a little weird, a little funky. So I can see how people may not vibe with it and I can see how people might feel unfulfilled with the ending, because the ending definitely felt like it could have been a couple extra chapters, you know maybe two. Like I know a lot of people wanted like resolutions for a lot of the shipping. But also the shipping community is super toxic.
Speaker 1:Yeah, now my Hero, hey, my Hero. Shippers have to blame only themselves, if I'm being real, because the stuff that they've been saying, like the stuff that the ship's been going on been crazy. It's not cool, it's not the best community when it comes to ships.
Speaker 3:Dead threats over what's the word I'm looking for here, that threats over made-up characters in a freaking manga, death threats really, stuff like that. You can understand why the dude didn't like dedicate a full chapter to like showing off certain relationships, because there were a lot of ships that were set up, like um, what's her name? The pink chick? Oh, um with uh asito, asito with uh kaminari. Yeah, that was set up. Um, they set up, obviously deko and uraraka. They set up.
Speaker 1:It's there, they so at this point, just draw your own, your own.
Speaker 3:Um ending with it everybody kind of knows deko and uraraka end up together. That is what it is. It is what it is. You saw the whole scene. We got the scene. They can. It wasn't like oh my god, I love you, uraraka. Oh my god, I love you. No, no, there's subtlety in writing. There is something to be said to like showing instead of telling. You know what I mean. If you can't like. I feel like a lot of people, especially now with uh manga and anime, they want to be like told everything instead of shown some things, and I feel like the best writers are able to show better than they're able to tell, and the best stories are told. When you're showing rather than telling. I don't want to like. I don't want to need to have full bricks of text to explain certain things that's happening. I mean, hey, this is one of those things. I felt like it was much better to get that chapter where uh deku talks to her.
Speaker 1:He expresses how he feels his gratefulness and says hey, basically, yo, you're my hero besides, I'm at this point, I'm pretty sure that, like wherever the manga failed or didn't give enough to, I'm pretty sure, when it's time for the anime to get to it, it'd probably be like a little bit more maybe not so much, but a little bit more with um, with the pacing with it yes, that I could definitely see them like stretch it out and give like anime only type scenes yeah, I have every confidence that they're gonna patch up the places where we feel like could have been patched up, because they already started doing it.
Speaker 3:To be honest, if you've seen the last, the last episode- let's go, yeah, last up I think it was the vercular last episode because, yeah, last episode of my hero in the anime. It was the scene where bakugo starts to be resuscitated after he's dead.
Speaker 1:Quote-unquote A little information about Ed Shot.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so the Ed Shot reveal how his powers work, what he's planning to do. The way they approached it in the anime felt substantially better handled than the way it was approached in the manga. And it felt like there was more exposition and more like focus put on the revival and how they were trying to do it to better justify the fact that it did happen in the first place. Yeah, reading weekly didn't feel great.
Speaker 1:You're also coming to the point where, like, deku was visibly gone from the war for like a good length when you're reading it, because doing the whole um, the whole fight, he's already risked the way um in the portal and um dabi, their whole resolution endeavor and the other thing, because it is jumping like how it was in the manga too, though. But you then you then wait so long. After something like that happens, deku then finally comes in. So it's like now we have to show more points with Deku in this bit, because this is where we was drawing up how it was done, addressing it realistically, had to force something like that to even exist. So, yeah, how it was done, addressing it, yeah, realistically, it had to force something like that to even exist or even be a thing. Realistically, it would have to like attend to that much sooner than a later type thing.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so there's definitely some justifications as to why people may not be happy with the ending. Personally, holistically looking at it, I think the trajectory of the story was on point yeah, I think it did the story yeah it. It got home. How it was executed, the way there the bakugou thing may not have been the best. I, I don't, I don't love it I'm not hung up on it, honestly yeah, it's not.
Speaker 3:It didn't ruin the ending for me, but I don't love it either. Um, I really do like the ending, though, the way things ended with how the deku started out workless, gained a quirk not of his own, optimize the quirk even beyond reasoning, even to the point where even the people who the quirks belong to were like yo. The way you use quirks it's like you're worshiping the quirk. It's not like the power is something for you to, it's not just lost yeah, like every aspect he sees values in it exactly and it's not like uh one for all's quirks were individually overpowered.
Speaker 3:Obviously the stockpiling made it overpowered, but as individual quirks they're very like flawed. But he picked every aspect of every quirk up and used it to cover the flaws of the other quirks, to make sure that he was like peak efficiency. But his body wasn't all my level body, his, his uh age wasn't all my age when all might fought one for all.
Speaker 1:Imagine if he had it, if imagine if he continued to still have it but he had like all the time, like them all, like how all might had time to at least have all from one train up and do all that stuff. If deku had, even just because this all has happened in like what in his first year well, no, uh, second year.
Speaker 3:Well, they didn't have the ceremony to switch over, but technically they would have been second years if school was continuing, yeah, yeah. So now at the end, where it ended in, uh, real time in the story, it was able after the war, that's when they had the ceremonies to transition the second year. So technically they should have been second years, but there was no school.
Speaker 1:So no, but still doing a damn good job honestly he was mastering not just one quirk, that you thought was literally just one quirk, but ended up being like four or five other different ones exactly exactly he really Exactly.
Speaker 3:He really was like a. He was a very versatile main character, like really one of those people where intelligence wasn't like just something. You say, oh yeah, no, he was a really smart character. No, he like there was never a point where he, like didn't adapt to a fight, and that was really cool to see from Deku and for that to come up in the final fight.
Speaker 3:So many times figuring out how to use his quirk to counter uh all for one achieve that goal, bro, he did the damn thing when he started breaking down, had to toss quirks out, and the way he used black whip around his body to afford to fight. Bro deku was just built different, bro.
Speaker 1:He was just built different, it's gonna be nice when they finally animate it.
Speaker 3:Yup, and stuff like that is an example of why we think Horikoshi should do like horror man, cause those, those panels were crazy, absolutely crazy. It really is like an exciting end to the story.
Speaker 1:Like I said, I think it, I think it did good. It's not like the 100% best ending, and there's also some things that I feel, too, that I would rather wish or had hope for differently, but ultimately, all in all, it was all right.
Speaker 3:There were some show don't tell things that I wish I had been shown and not told, like the stuff about Bakugou and Shoto, how they were progressing through the ranks and how their ranks related to each other. Yeah, bakugou is up there, but his like stuff like that. Show me, show me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I want you to show me.
Speaker 2:I hope that I had wished for just more just a little bit more of this going on with this.
Speaker 1:I want to see everybody striving, doing their thing A little bit more information.
Speaker 3:Exactly. I really love the very last part where it's like the end and then all my face is like bang just pops in. It's like, ah, you thought, and then he shows you everything else that was really crack, but also show me the soup. I want to see the soup, which is why I want to follow up.
Speaker 3:Even if it's not like you know, it'll be crack a follow up movie I think a follow-up movie might be nice follow-up movie where they're all adults and they have like one last big like battle they have to go I think that would be nice.
Speaker 1:I don't know if they would do such a thing, because I think if I'm seeing like a my hero movie because I'm pretty sure like what, this one that they got going on right now, that's, I think, should be coming out in a couple of weeks or something like that um, we're obviously going to get another one from this, like this isn't going to be the end. We're going to get another movie, but damn, a movie where they're a bit older.
Speaker 3:It would be cool. It would be nice, it would be really cool. Plus I low-key want to see somebody just really geek out over Deku. I thought the way they recreated the ending scene to create that dichotomy with the way he met all might and all might decided to give him the quirk he met uh crap, what's his name? Who the? Plates on his head, yeah, so the way he met him and how that was really cool. I did enjoy, I did a little bit of homage yeah, man it.
Speaker 3:It hit all the emotional notes I. I just really do wish it had like an extra chapter too. Yeah. I'd have loved to seen how some of the people grow up Like Mirio. Mirio is one of my favorites. I'd have loved to see him as the number one hero. What his new outfit look like? Yeah. Speaking of new outfits, Shinzo Shinzo looks so cool.
Speaker 1:I want to see the new drip, so cool, so cool, so cool bro. Give me art pages of them with their new drips on.
Speaker 3:That would be fire, bro. That would actually be fire, like a data book yeah, End of story data. That would actually be a fun way to give all the information that we didn't get out of the market.
Speaker 1:That would actually be. Yeah, yeah, like a data book Could be just a little bit of something Damn.
Speaker 3:My Hero Academia. What a show, what a show.
Speaker 1:Ten long years.
Speaker 3:Thank you, horikoshi. It was very good, very, very good. Alright, so time to wrap it up. So the question of the episode.
Speaker 3:That's how we're gonna do that this one this one's gonna be more similar to the one from last time was a little bit more wordy, so just bear with me. What I want to know is the best moment in manga? That when you watched it, you were like, when you watched it, when you read it, you were like, oh yeah, can't wait to see that animated. And then when it animated, you were like, oh yeah, that was everything. That was everything I expected. So that might be. I feel like this is going to be dominated by more recent stuff, but what's that? One perfect manga panel to anime scene moment for you Just let us know Anime.
