Christopher Rodgers. What you got for us, man? What you got for us? [00:01:05] Speaker B: Here's what it is. Your boy's out of honey, so I had a substitute, you know what I'm saying, for some eucalyptus sleeves, so. [00:01:12] Speaker A: Oh, snap. [00:01:13] Speaker B: Not too happy about, you know, not having some honey on here. Other than that, I'm Gucci, baby. [00:01:18] Speaker A: I'm fluffy, all snout snap. All right. What you got, mister conspiracy, man? You got the. You've been fighting with the. If there is any explanation for this right here. That's all I was, baby. [00:01:34] Speaker C: That's what it is. [00:01:36] Speaker A: I was gonna say was you working on a new conspiracy? Something about the moon landing being faked or something. Earth flat. I thought you'd go say something like that, so I figured I'd ask, but. [00:01:47] Speaker C: We'Ll get into, brother. We'll get into the moon when we talk about Naruto, man. I got you then. [00:01:53] Speaker A: Okay. Well, man, it's good to be here on this Friday yet again with my folks, my fam, you know, and shout out to all those people who watch us and support us, man. Thank you for tuning in. So today we got a special episode. This one's gonna be a little interesting. The fisticuffs is gonna be interesting, but I'm more excited about our main topic. Our roundtable discussion is going to be, whoo. One of my. Hey, look out the gates. Probably one of my favorite animes, you know what I'm saying? Goblin slayer. Like, for those who don't know, second season is in. You know what I'm saying? Goblin Slayer. First season is going to be very hard to top for me. Okay, just throwing that out there, but Mister conspiracy, what you got for us, man? [00:02:46] Speaker B: What? [00:02:46] Speaker A: Goblin Slayer, what your thoughts are. Then I need to hear Pooh Bear's thoughts on this. What's up with Goblin Slayer for you, man? What is it? What is Goblin Slayer for you, man? [00:02:57] Speaker C: Gobble, gobble, man. I'm gonna go ahead and keep this short and sweet. I want to make sure that everyone has their, you know, thoughts and ideas, you know, heard and whatnot. Goblin Slayer season one is phenomenal, from the storyline to the plot. You're talking the artwork, and I really like what they did with the main character, honestly, all the characters, the fact of his tragic backstory, which is really deep, and how he became the goblin slayer in the first place, a lot of people who have not seen it, basically, the goblin slayers from a small village and his village gets attacked by a bunch of goblins, and his entire family gets. Gets slain. His parents and his older sister. Now he survives, and he basically says that he will do anything and everything to kill all goblins in the world. And that's how he becomes a goblin slayer. He actually joins the guild, and he becomes the goblin slayer, which is almost like a. He's more like an urban legend for people who just heard rumors about the goblin slayer, right. They don't know whether he's a monster or an actual human because he just wears armor. Nothing but armor. Head to toe helmet, all this stuff. So I really like that. Listen, mystique about him. But the crazy part, though, is that he only. He only hunts goblins. They have many other type of races and monsters, species that are more dangerous, more evil, like the demon lord, for instance, and his generals. But he doesn't care anything about anything else but goblins. And how he goes about his tactics and strategies to deal with goblins. What really sets him apart as far as just the main character from someone that just has special abilities. Right. I really like how they showed his. His characters different, uh, size and aspects of his character. Yeah, he's kind of, you know, cold hearted, but at the same time, he won't just leave someone there to just die. If there's gobblers, it just won't leave someone there, you know, just to fend for themselves. And I like that he lives on a farm with this girl who's known as the cowgirl and her uncle. Well, they kind of went through the same tragedy that he did, and you actually get to meet them right before he goes back to the guild. And that's when he starts to form his team, which is really unique, how he forms his team. I like how they introduce those characters to his team, but I'm going to let everyone else really explain more into the story than that, but I really love Goblin slayer. First season is amazing. [00:05:42] Speaker B: Got you, Kurt. [00:05:44] Speaker A: Who you got? What? Why is Goblin Slayer the fire for you, man? Why is this hot for you? [00:05:50] Speaker B: I go bit a little bit more into detail. Yeah, I agree with what you doc and everything mister conspiracy said when I first saw, you know, how every, you know, kind of seasons where it's fall, whatever crunchyrolls puts out anime, right? And I always make my little list on new stuff that I try out to see if I'm going to continue watching or not. Of course, first time God in the slayer came out, looks like, oh, this looks a little cheesy, but I ain't got nothing else to watch, right? So soon. So. Man, the first episode just catches you. It, it sets up everything. Godless slayer. The character you can equate is Batman, a medieval batman because his story is tragic as hell. Okay. He, his, his, he was living a normal life. His parents, his dad, I think, was a priest and his mother was a pharmacist. And he had an older sister living a great life in a village. Um, but his parents always left, um, I think, like for two weeks at a time. Well, this time that they left the village, got attacked, of course, by goblins and his sister. Um, and he adores his sister, first of all. She hid him under the floorboard and told him, don't make a sound. I'm going, you know, everything is going to be okay. Of course. The goblins came in and she got caught in the situation. I'm not going to explain further than that. You just need to watch the anime because I don't want us getting, um, strike or whatever. But anyway, she got caught in the situation and he sees the whole thing go down in front of him. Of course, he's trying not to make noise. She ends up getting killed. And like I said, he sees everything. He adores his sister and he does, uh, try to escape. It doesn't really show this part in the anime. This is more in the manga. And he gets saved by this thing called a Rhea. They really don't explain what a? Rhea is. Think of him as like a hobbit, I guess. I think he's an adventurer. Well, he ends up saving him. And he's the one that trains him how to, how to kill goblins. He gives him all his tactics and everything. He and his truck. The training is brutal. I mean, he starts him as little boy is brutal. He doesn't hold back. Like, it's, it's rough. But eventually he grows up. He passes the training. Then he starts living with the cowgirl and her uncle. Well, they were good friends, I think, before. Right, Miss Conspiracy. [00:08:28] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:08:30] Speaker C: Yes. [00:08:31] Speaker B: And so, yeah, he ends up living with them, of course, like Mister Stewart said, he's an adventurer and all he does, he doesn't care. Now, like I said, I'm equating him like a medieval Batman because he, you know, like Batman, he's, um, he's just focused on crime and bringing justice to crime and cleaning up Gotham, right? And he's just driven. That is his sole purpose. He doesn't care. He is driven. The same thing with Goblin Slayer. His pure determination, will and just vengeance. That's all he cares about. I'm going to kill every last goblin on the world. He doesn't have any superpowers. He don't have magic. He just has his wits and skills in his army and, and he uses everything he surrounds, everything to do even with groups of hordes. Like, he knows how to go into caves if they're in buildings or if they're out in the open. And it's funny, like, everybody looks down on him. Like Mister conspiracy said, just because they all feel goblins are trash, monsters, they, nobody has time to deal with goblins, which is crazy because they loot and raid, just pillage and destroys and put all these girls in situations like it's, it's crazy. And how they multiply is they take the girls and they have their babies that do. I'm not gonna lie. The first watch, I was like, what in the hell did I get myself into? This is a, this is, this is deepen. And the manga is worse than anime. So with situations, I'm gonna just say that. But any off to all, Mister Spirit says he's a loner, doesn't want to get close to people. And he barely does it with the power born her uncle. That's only because he knew them freehand. He really doesn't want to count on people. But he slowly changes with the addition. With a little girl he saved. Priestess, I think. [00:10:31] Speaker C: Yes, priestess. [00:10:32] Speaker B: So she starts kind of softening him his heart to trust people. And then it comes to find out goblins are really a big, huge problem. Like, like singular. They're, they're nothing, right? But as a horde, they are formidable. And the more you watch the anime, there's like, levels to goblins. There's like a goblinous. We just started season two. I'm pretty sure that they mention it probably in the manga, but I kind of stopped on a mango. I kind of wanted to see the anime, but it's like. Like, they're. They're powerful, they're really formidable. And this guy is the only one who knows how to deal with them, which is crazy. I'm not gonna say anymore. Spill anymore about that. I haven't even started season two. I'm kind of letting it build up because I hate waiting a week between episodes. But, yeah, I love goblin slayer. Love it. Doc, what's your take, man? [00:11:40] Speaker A: Listen, I mean, everything y'all said is spot on. Listen, let me throw this out here because I didn't say it in the beginning of this episode. This is not for kids, okay? Goblin Slayer is not for children. Nobody under 18 and some people who ain't even 21 yet because of the quote unquote situations and the adult content that it deals with, because in the first episode, listen, I was like, whoa. Like, you have no idea what you getting into it because it's like. Like you said, everybody, all these goblins is nothing. Da da da da da. First party go in there, you know, they end up getting merch. And then I'm gonna tell you what sold it for me. Like, why I knew this was for me is when that little girl pissed herself. Straight up. She pissed herself cause she knew. First episode, she pissed herself cause she saw what they were doing. And if you ain't never seen no anime character like, you seen fear before, you know, somebody scared, but you ain't real sleep. Like, real fear. This is like, I know I'm gonna die. I have no ability to save myself. My bodily functions have released themselves because I make it right. Like it was. It is not. We ain't talking about grown up. We talk about a little kid and this little girl, for God only knows what reason. I don't care if you're a priestess or not. Why you little kids out here trying to adventure, you know, trying to do this life, like, hey, this ain't all sunshine and rainbow kids. Like, yo, from the first episode, you like, yo, this is bad. Like, everything. Because before he shows up, it's like, how much of this are we gonna have to watch? Like, you, at a certain point in time, you just, like, just kill them. Good God, just let him die, you know? But when this dude shows up, I mean, the only thing I can equate him to. I mean, Batman's a good reference. I mean, to the goblins. One thing I know I call him is Baba Yeager. You upset? Like, that's the only thing I called it, dude. Like, literally. I mean, to your point, he's almost mythical. You know what it reminds me of? It's almost like they took Judge Dredd, the comic book where he never takes his helmet off and you never see his face, so you can relate to the character. And that's almost like what they did with him. Like, he takes his helmet, but we never really see his face. You know, he's got, like, some white hair. You know, he's got all these scars from the training and the fight, but we never see his face, which is really cool. That's part of the mystique. Like, the dude sleep with his helmet on. When he eats, his helmet comes up a little bit so he can drink, but he never takes it off. So, like, that whole part of it. And the way, like you said, you got a back. He got a supervillain origin story, basically. You know, like, if this dude turned evil, like, I wouldn't even been surprised. But instead, he becomes obsessed with one thing. He don't care about nothing else. I remember when they came to him, it's like, well, you know, the demon's army. Do they got, is it goblins? He was like, no. Well, I don't care. Like, he. He don't care about the world ending. None of that stuff. Like, none of that even fazed him. He's like, nah, I'm gonna go fight goblins. And then some of the tactics. Like, and the other thing is, it's like, if you took, like, baba Yeager, Batman, and you took almost the other person, he's almost like a MacGyver type person too, right? Because he knows things. Like, he learns. And he. The tricks he uses to kill goblins, even the people, like, where'd you figure that out at? Like, the things he learns, everything about him is like, this dude. At this point, I can say he's a sociopath. Like, he's a straight sociopath. Like, he has no qualms about, like, remember in the, like, in the first episode, you really see how he don't care when that priestess girl was like, oh, my God. She's like, you know, save my friend. He's like, I'm doing her a favor, and he just stabbed her in the throat. End of the life. Like, goddess. Like, and she's like, oh, my God, you couldn't save her. He's like, she's dead. We just saved. We just saving her suffering. He just slipped. [00:15:39] Speaker B: Let's move on. [00:15:41] Speaker A: Yeah, and he did it. He like, hey, let's move on to the next thing. And, yeah, I knew when I. When he got to them goblins. And he seen them little goblin babies. And he went in there. Yeah, he murdered. He went in there. He murdered all them goblin kids. He didn't even care. Like, not even a pair in the world. And the little priestess girl was like, you should kill him. He was like, nah, that broke up and learned from this. [00:16:15] Speaker B: I know it's a cartoon, right? But as a parent, right. You see, like, no, man. No, I don't want you to do that, dog. Like, I'm with her. Like, oh, man. [00:16:27] Speaker A: Like, like, and you better be glad it's an anime. Cause I'm pretty sure in the manga, they showed him murdering them kids. He had no qualms about putting all the kids down. And, like, after he got done with that, you know, he just went all about his way. We gonna burn the nest out. We gonna kill. Make sure you got any spells left. Cause we still need to kill these goblets. And it's like, jesus Christ. Like, the woman just died. You murdered her. You murdered them kids. Like, and we still. He's still counting. He counted the kids, like, pills, like, 12345. Like, it. Like, the part of me, like, the vengeance, the part of me that loves animes that are about vengeance, it's like, I enjoy it, but, like, these dudes make me cringe a little bit, to your point. Like, that's a point where, like, even I. Like, good God. Like, they little babies. Like, nah, they might grow up and learn stuff. Like, yeah, yeah. I mean, the dude is a sociopath. I mean, and you can't even be mad at him because of what happened to him and everything you witnessed, right? [00:17:35] Speaker B: You. [00:17:35] Speaker A: They do a great job of getting you in his mind, right? You understand why he's the way he is. Like, there's no questions. Like, you know, at least with Batman, he could have got therapy. Ain't no therapy in this dude's world. Like, this dude, like, he's therapy. Every goblin he killed, I. He bringing a part of himself back. Like, whatever they took from him. Like, I mean, personally, he's almost, like, remember, like, with Batman, like, how he went dormant for a while and the Joker went catatonic. Like, if the goblins ceased to exist, this dude would probably kill himself. I don't think he could, like, exist without goblins. Like, he literally is at that stage where, like, this is all he got. Like, don't rob me of my hate. It's all I have left. Like, literally. [00:18:20] Speaker C: Well, that's kind of crazy, though. DLC. I want to actually touch on that fear just so the audience can actually understand, like, why we're so passionate and why, like, the goblins are such a threat. If you actually take one of the characters that you meet. I think in the second, no, I think she's in the first episode, the sword maiden, who's the Archbishop, right, of the God tower. She's the sword maid. Like, she, she's tough. Well, she was a blindfold over her eyes because she can't stand the fact of the whore that she saw with when she was kidnapped by the goblins and the things that she saw them do. So even though she could easily kill a goblin, she refuses to go near one. That's why she has the goblin slayer actually go do killing all of the goblins. Like, that's how crazy that is, man. She wears a blindfold the entire time because she cannot stand to see the just the world because of what she saw with the goblins, man. That's how crazy that is what they did to her. [00:19:25] Speaker A: Listen, this how you know is real. When she said, she said, they, they. In my dreams, he said, I mean, your dreams, like, like, this lady. Lady is too cool for cocoa puss. She's like, I need you to slam in my drink. [00:19:50] Speaker B: That was deep. That was underrated. [00:19:56] Speaker A: Like, you said, she one of the most powerful beings in the world because of what they did to her. She like a little kid. Like, I need a knight of shining armor. I need Baba Yeager. Baba Yeager, will you come save me? Like, I slam. In your dreams. [00:20:10] Speaker B: He said, lose his goblet. You call me anytime. I'll be there to kill them all. Even in your dreams. I was like, goblets? [00:20:16] Speaker A: Like, like, that's one thing to give revenge and be. But, like, this dude's whole purpose in this world is driven solely by one thing. It's like, if you had OCD to the up. Like, somebody who's got the most extreme version of OCD. Like, if you take some out of place. Like, I remember, like, it towards the end of the first season, and the priestess asked, is there such thing as a good goblin? He said, I don't know, but if I see one, I kill him and let you know. [00:20:48] Speaker B: What, that's not how they're supposed to go. [00:20:55] Speaker A: Out there, you know? Yeah. Like, it is. I don't even know. The only thing I can say is this. Right? [00:21:05] Speaker B: Uh oh. [00:21:08] Speaker A: I can say that. You know what I'm saying? Because he crazy, man. The dude is nuts. Like, he is crazy at a level. I mean, you don't see too many characters, like, who are that crazy you can identify with. You said, like, normally they so insane, you can't get behind it. You can't rock with. But they did a great job with his backstory. Like, everybody understand why he, like, if the villagers in, like, if the people in the gill knew what he been through and knew his story, they wouldn't be asking him why he hunt goblins. They be like, can we help you hunt goblins? You know what I'm saying? Ain't nobody asking. Yeah, ain't nobody asking questions. And like you said, I don't see how they're not a bigger problem. Okay. Because it's not like, like, it's so bad that new adventurers, he like, you should go hunt rats, not goblins. Because their tactics. Yeah, I mean, like, literally, like, how many people are dying because the goblin so bad they had to create an academy for adventurers because they were losing so many just fighting goblins. Like, and these are like normal question. They like giving these act like they like, here you go, 1314 year old kids. I want to go kill goblins. Well, like, the girl should be like, no. Like, there's a goblin slayer for a reason. Like, if you want to go kick out, you gotta go do sessions with this dude for months, you know, to go hunt goblins for you. Like, because the beginning parties, like, they getting murdered, they don't have any idea, like, he. His tactics to fight goblins. Like, if. I mean, he is literally a niche specialist. That's why he's what? He's a silver ranking. Most people aren't for hunting one beast. They're silver ranks because they hunt everything. He's a silver rank specifically because literally, that's all he does. I mean, it's to the point where, like you said, christopher Robbins, they literally are coming from around the kingdom, other continents. Like, beard Cutter. He's got a name in Elvish. I can't even say, like, you know, yeah, they got all these names for this dude. Like you said, literally, it's like, it's a legend. And everybody, when they meet him, at first, it's like, oh, man. That's all you do? This is it. You've got this dinky armor and stuff. And then it's not until they go into a situation with them and you watch them fighting them goblins. Because I will tell you. I'm gonna tell you, man, they f. The scene that got me, they had me. The hypesthen is when they go in that underground tunnel and that hobgoblin or whatever that thing is. Swing him or knocks him across the room. He almost died. He wheels his stuff to get up and he gets up and then when that eye starts shining red, he's strangling this thing with some hair and he willing himself, he coughing up and he don't even care, like, and then after he put them down, his thing almost there. He looked at other albums. You want this, you want this guy. But they like scared. Cause it's like this dude. [00:24:01] Speaker B: No, sir. [00:24:04] Speaker A: And he literally, like, he reminded me of, uh. Did you all see the new mad Max? When the dude. [00:24:10] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. [00:24:10] Speaker A: Like, he gets shot in the head and he will himself to go blow himself up. That's almost what that means. Like, yeah, yeah, he came back. Like, he's like, come on, he's hyping. His friend is hyping them up. [00:24:21] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:24:28] Speaker A: Yeah, that's the level of crazy God. He literally is. Like, he, like, get up, he telling his, like, he having flashbacks to his sister. He going through the training, the dicer rope, that dice thing when it hit, and it's like everything in his body, like willed him, like he on death door. He don't even care. Like that, dude. Like, you got some determined, like, that's crazy. Like I said, man, like, you can't do nothing but respect the dude. Like, like, it's crazy, man. [00:24:55] Speaker B: But again, like, it, like, it completes it, though. Like, it makes sense to why he is so dedicated just because of what happened to him. Like I said, they set that up so perfect. And it's like, even, even his own team, even when they realize, oh, this is, this is crazy. They stopped him from using some stuff that he uses to kill the gongs because it's too horrific for them. [00:25:27] Speaker A: Like, yeah, like, he started using all kinds of new tactics and they like, remember the scroll? When he pulled the scroll out? Yeah. He was like, even the hobgoblin, like, you was using this to kill goblins. He was like, yeah, you made me waste it on you. Like he's like, do you understand? Like, this is meant to kill. Higher level being like, I don't care about that. Like, I care about these goblins over here and like, it's wild, man. Like, I gotta ask y'all, man, like, what is your favorite moment? Like, both of y'all, you're saying conspiracy, Christopher Rob, like, what is your favorite moment in the series, bro? [00:26:05] Speaker B: You already said it, man. With that tall man, he was like, he picked up that hair and was like, what is he doing with his eye glow? [00:26:12] Speaker A: Ready? [00:26:12] Speaker B: Yeah, I know. I'm a die. But you coming with me. Like, who's next? He could barely walk, but he was ready. He was like, who's next? They were all like, no. [00:26:31] Speaker A: Even that's hard to miss. Dumb creatures. Yeah, even them dumb creatures was like, yeah, I'm good. I don't want this problem. I don't want this. I don't want none of it. Like, it was wild, man. It was wild. What about you? Was that it for you? Conspiracy? Was that the moment for you, man? [00:26:47] Speaker C: That's the moment for me. But also, you know, misses. We all three going to grow on the same moment. I'm gonna bring up another moment which is, you know, the first episode just, you know, pooh bear said it perfectly earlier. It just gets you there and then the rest of the story keeps you there. I mean, because when the, when that team, cuz I, cuz, cuz I don't even think they were sapphire. Not ranked yet. Like those, eventually they went into there. When they went in there. [00:27:18] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:27:18] Speaker C: And had no idea what they were getting into. They thought they could just whip on some goblins, that they was goblins, and they realized, oh, when they got besieged by them goblins and they literally tore them limb from limb. Like, the guys and then the girls, they got into a bunch of situations. But here was the crazy part. One of the chicks didn't get into a situation. One of the adventurer chicks just got beat down with some rocks and sticks. Like, they didn't even take the time to put her in a situation. They just beat her down her dead body. They just kept beating her even after he was dead. I was like, why? Okay, this is real for me. So I had to bring up that one right there. Yeah, that meant a lot to me. [00:27:59] Speaker B: When he killed the kids, though, that, that, that made me cringe. I was like, oh, wait, okay. [00:28:08] Speaker A: His reasoning, his reasoning behind. He said, cuz they'll grow up and learn and they never forget. He's like, that's why we gotta kill them. He's like, I don't even care if they kids like, yeah, and they gonna learn from this and then they're gonna get smarter and better tactics. And he was like, we gotta kill him now. This little girl was like, what? Like, these could be similar to ain't, but you had no problem killing. Like, cause you gotta start thinking. He was like, hey, can you still fight? Like, am I in? Am I gonna die? Cause this dude is a sociopath. Am I gonna die in here getting killed by him versus the gobblers? Like, you don't know. I mean. Cause the dude is weird. Like, everything about, like, him, the armor he wears, the sword, the short shield. Like, all of it is meant for one thing and one thing only. Like, and the repair bills on his armor, stuff. Like, this dude ain't making no. He ain't making no real money. All this dude care about is like, I need you to fix. And I know if you don't armor dude, you. Like, dude, what the hell are you doing? Every week? Like, he come in there dinged up, nicked up. Like, I mean, and then even when he don't have his regular arm on, he always got a helmet off. His helmet is. I walk around with his. I. Like, dude is crazy. Like, it ain't. Like, I don't know. Like, if it ain't for adventuring. Like, these people have no idea what kind of nut job this dude is. Like, he ain't worried about love. He is not worried about anything other than, like, the only thing that occupies his mind. Twenty four seven and go to sleep. Like, when he goes back to that house, like I said, it's like somebody with OCD, like, to the farm. He goes out and checks meticulously everywhere, make sure nothing is out. Like, and when you find out, he figures it out in that episode, like, oh, the goblin horse. Like, he knows so much about him. Like, it's ridiculous. Like, this dude. Like I said, it's almost OCD. Like, he's like, hey, look, this grass is out of place. Like, this wire cut. Like, he knows everything about goblin. I mean, it's scary, but, like, yo, you, man. Like, is well written. Like, it's so good. I don't even want to read the manga. I just want to see the anime. Yeah, it's that good of an anime. Like, I don't even want to know the backlight. I just want to watch it because it's just so. It's so. I've never. I've never read or watched anything quite like Goblin Slayer. [00:30:23] Speaker B: Only thing that sucks is it leaves out a lot, though, because, you know, they got to stitch a whole lot together. The, you know, like, you don't know about his trainer, Ria. They only show glimpses back. Like. But you're like, is that a goblin? He's not a goblin, so you wouldn't know that stuff unless you actually read the manga. But I'm like, I'll go back and read the manga after watching his anime because this makes it nice, though, for. [00:30:46] Speaker C: Like, the mystique purposes or whatnot, you know? Because, like, for me, because you don't know all the train stuff he went through yet. He's just that dude without abilities. Like, without, like, you know, special abilities. But he's that guy with the, you know, like, with the strategy and the strategics and, like, the actual weaponry, like Batman. And then for me, every time he goes into a cave and every time, like, the goblins see him, man, it's just. And that's just like, how I feel every time a goblin sees him and they eyes is like, oh. Oh, man. We heard about this dude. You know, it's just like, oh, yeah, man, y'all did. It's over. They don't. It only matter what's about to happen. [00:31:29] Speaker B: That man. The greatest quote, though. We need to make a shirt. I'll get dreams of. [00:31:39] Speaker A: Yeah, it's pretty wild, man. Like, I say, you know, if you. If you picking it as an adult and anime, like, that's your welcome to the anime world. What? Yeah, that's a violent welcome to the anime world. Like, you see too much. Yeah. [00:31:56] Speaker C: They shouldn't start with that, though, bro. Like, that should not be your entry into anime. [00:32:02] Speaker B: That's a high bar, no art, low. If you want starter anime, you know, just hit us up, you know, in the comments, we'll give you some starter stuff. Do not start with God of Slayer because you will be disappointed a whole lot. It's a hard bar. [00:32:19] Speaker A: I think. You know, I'm happy season two is out. You know, we watching it. I'm watching it right now. So, like I said, it's one of those, like, goblin Slayer is so good. Like, I'm not gonna say I want to watch, like, a thousand episodes, like fairy tale or nothing that crazy. But, like, give me. Give me five or six seasons of Goblin Slayer. Like, I'm fully. I'm fully vested in a goblin slayer. Like, this. This is. This is wild. Yeah. I mean, where would you. Where would you two rank this? [00:32:55] Speaker B: This. [00:32:56] Speaker A: This ain't anime. Only on y'all's listed. Like, is this a top ten for you? Top five? Is it? Where would you rank this? [00:33:03] Speaker B: Oh, it's definitely a top. Yeah, it's not gonna be a top five. Top ten. [00:33:08] Speaker C: It came top five just because only got one season, right? [00:33:12] Speaker A: Okay. [00:33:13] Speaker C: Like, if you don't read the manga and you only watch anime, you know, I'm saying, so, like, it can only be top ten. It's like the lower tier of the top ten just because I only got one season. [00:33:23] Speaker B: But top ten is perfect because out of all the anime we watch, top ten. Is still elite because like you said, doc is not just the anime is beautiful, but the storytelling is great in the fight. There's not one fight that I didn't like because they lead up to the fights, even on the downtime is great because they, they mix everything and they flow it real well even without not telling the whole story of, like, the manga. But they do it in a way that's like you can, you can still understand and get the full picture of everything. [00:33:58] Speaker A: Yeah, I love it. Look, for me, like you said, it's a top ten. Definitely. I just, like I said, you know, to me, like, the more unique your story is, like, this isn't just clear, straight revenge, but it's like, it's like watching a man's life purpose, you know, I'm saying, like, you are literally watching him do the one thing on this earth he was probably created to do, period. I mean, he's just that tactical about it. Like, I don't like you. You can't get nobody else to do what he does and at the level he does it. So, I mean, I definitely really. What is going on here? [00:34:40] Speaker B: Stay in shape, baby. [00:34:46] Speaker C: Okay. You know what? I ain't even gonna bring that up online, man. No, we good. We good. [00:34:54] Speaker A: I don't even want. No, you know what? I think it's time consuming. I think it's time for. [00:35:01] Speaker C: Man, you know what? Just because of that stuff that he doing, you know, man, I don't even want to do this no mo good. [00:35:10] Speaker B: Got me all hype. Mandy already like a warrior, man. I'm trying to get warrior status. Oh, man. Got me all hype, baby. [00:35:38] Speaker A: It's time for anime festival DLC. Who do we have lined up for today? Well, my boy Rick fled. Say woo. You understand? So this is actually a very interesting episode of Anime Fisticuff. So I have on one hand, on my left hand, I've got Dante from Devil may cry. You know what I'm saying? Normally I wouldn't pick somebody like this cause he's a comic. He's like an anime character slash video game character. But he does have a manga. So I felt like he could ride with us on this one. And then we got vampire hunter D, you say? So this is really going to be between me and conspiracy. I. Look, I'm going to go ahead and. Go ahead and take Dante, you said, all right, I'm going to let. I'm going to let you have that 500 D. But I think before we jump into the. I think before we jump into the battle I think we do need to do an explanation of each character. So just in case you don't know, you upset, you at least have an understanding. I'm gonna start with you, mister conspiracy, about vampire hunter D. Just give him a little brief overview of who he is, just in case they don't. So it has to be all deep. [00:36:56] Speaker C: Old school oldie, but, goldie, we're gonna do that. So Vampire hunter D starts out as an old school anime movie. Basically up. He is a half breed vampire and human. He grows up in an apocalyptic world. Of course, he's like 10,000 years old. So, you know, I grew up a long time ago up until that point. What's so special about vampire hunts D is that he is the sun. And in his storyline, he is the technically the only son of the man, the myth, the legend Dracula. [00:37:32] Speaker B: So. [00:37:32] Speaker C: So that basically makes him the, I guess you can, like, he's basically a myth. People really don't know who he actually is. Like his identity in his world. And so from that aspect, it's like, okay, that is the only person that was actually born naturally, you know, not bitten, not a blood transplant, anything like that, transfusion. He's the actual son, you know, from situations, you know, let's put it that way. [00:38:04] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:38:04] Speaker C: Like, he's the original blade, basically. [00:38:06] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:38:06] Speaker A: So I can say this about vampire Hunter D, like, if you. He, his, his father conducted many experiments on humans, and matter of fact, it was because his father is the noble of all nobles. You know, people cherish their, nobility of their bloodline, you know what I mean, of being pure blood vampires and things like that. And one of the rules was, you know, not to mix with the humans, but Dracula didn't care about all that. Dracula didn't care about any of that. He, like, they may have had they rules, but he lived his life on his term. So I will say, you know, that about vampire hunter d. And d, you know, doesn't go by dracula, even though that initial is d. He goes by d, you know, vampire. Djdeheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheh and then his name. Yeah, well, which is dracula backwards. Yeah. Yeah. So, I mean, cool enough, you know, it's vampire hunter d. So I'm gonna jump over to my guy. So just in case you haven't. You don't know who devil may cry is and you don't know who dante is. Okay. Dante is one of two sons of the legendary demon spartan. I gotta put emphasis. As much as you know about dracula, you know how powerful dracula is. Sparta is basically the devil. I mean, like, he's the king of hell. He literally killed the king of hell, basically, and sealed him, you know, finished him, you know, whatever you want to call it. So he literally is basically the devil. And he had two sons. One of them is Dante, another one's Virgil. We're not talking about Virgil. We're talking about Dante. So Dante grows up. For the first eight years of Dante's life, Dante grew up with his father. His father actually would be in human form. And the reason why his father does what he does is he actually protects humanity from the demon world. We don't know how his father dies, just like we don't know how Dracula dies. You know, we don't think anybody could just kill him. You know, I think, you know, they got to die. Natural causes of something else, but I don't think you can kill them, but just immensely powerful. So his father trained him from kid to basically, you know, use swords and guns. And at a certain point in time, his father ends up dying. His mother raises him and a brother, and then demons eventually come, they kill the mom, and they split the brothers up. Dante thinks his brother is dead. And, you know, he basically makes it his life mission, just like how vampire hunter d life mission is hunting vampires for the very reason, I don't know what his real reasoning is, because maybe what his dad did jacked him up, you know, he didn't agree with it. But, like, Dante's motivation is, hey, these demons killed my family, basically. So I'm gonna get revenge even though I'm half demon. So that's who he is. You know, that's a little bit about the setup. So mister conspiracy, so what do you think? Man, this is, to me, this is a very hard battle to call, you'll say, on either front, because their abilities are very similar. A lot of their powers are similar. So. [00:41:15] Speaker C: So I think it's actually more difficult because of their two universes, which really entails their abilities, right? And then you have one which is like his half breed, you know, Dante. Okay, different from. Yeah, I'm saying, like, him being a half breed is a little different. Like, like his half breed is a little different from these, honestly, in my opinion. Um, but it's, it's hard, man, because you really don't see a lot of vampire Hunter D's abilities unless you, you know, read the novels and things like that. If you just look at the movies, you really can't tell, you know, how far his abilities go unless you actually do the research, read the novels and stuff like that. If you like, if you just watch the movies. Won't be able to truly tell. Fact of the matter is, member Handy is really powerful. He is what you basically would. Would. Honestly, he is on the same level as his father when he awakens, his actual abilities. Like, like, basically, when he awakens his bloodline, he's on that level, you know? And so if you see Dracula, as most people do, as the, I want to say, like, the strongest monster is kind of how they portray Dracula. Like, the immortal strongest monster to ever live. That type of situation. Like, if you look at, like, Frankenstein's monster and all that type of stuff, like the werewolf man, like, from that type of universe, to me, the vampire Hunter D actually is very good with a sword. [00:42:59] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:43:00] Speaker C: Select an easis. The thing that a lot of people don't know is that his soul exists and. And does not exist because of the fact that he. He does not. His soul or his life, I should say, is not in the. I'm trying to make sure that I get the actual wording correctly, the aspects records of life, and I. So, technically, when he roams through the world, his existence, technically is there and isn't there. [00:43:31] Speaker B: Oh, wow. [00:43:34] Speaker C: Yeah. You know, so I'm not sure. So that's what really makes him immune to a lot of effects when it comes to magic, things like that, like when it comes to immortality. So when people say someone's immortal, vampire D is actually truly immortal when it comes to someone killing him, based on the fact of that, he does not actually exist in aesthetic life records. And because of that, it is actually hard to truly kill him because he's truly considered immortal. This is not even talking about his other abilities, which, if you remember Magnus Lee, how he actually beat him. They actually explained that it's a thing called fount of life. And basically what that means is that when vampire Hunter d awakens his bloodline, it actually awakens his innate ability to. I don't want to say, like, it's on the same effect of slashing through dimensions, but in this case, it's basically slashing through life forms. And that's why Magnus, even though he was, like, on, like, God tier level in their universe, that is one of the reasons why he could not actually stop the sword from piercing through his body and his heart. Even though he was indestructible throughout the entire move, everyone saw him as indestructible. Well, it's because that vampire Hunter D has this innate ability when he awakens his bloodline. Now, there's a few other abilities that he has, but I'll leave it at that. Just. We go ahead and get to the, you know, fisticuffs part. [00:45:15] Speaker A: No, no. There's one more thing I was gonna say. Like, if you really want to see a close thing about vampire Hunter D's ability, you could see Castlevania, because Alaka Alucard is the closest thing you're gonna see to the abilities of vampire hunter D. Unless you read, like, to your point, the manga, because juiced. You're saying that dude is hard. So he. I mean, so you think because he just, like him, he's the sun and everything. So if you need a comparison on, like, fighting now, what? I'll say, yo, that's a. Like you said, it's a mountain to climb, man. Dante, same kind of. Kind of crazy, juiced up power. It's like, first of all, I don't even know if you can actually kill the dude, okay? Because I've seen them. I've seen them pierce his heart. I've seen him get stabbed in the head. I've seen, like, pretty much any way you think you should be able to kill this dude, and he has literally come back to life. So I don't know. Can you actually just, like I said, I don't even know how they killed his dad. I don't know how his dad died because, like, in the world, like, in their universe, as far as, like, immortality, I'm up there with you, mister conspiracy. Like, this dude didn't been slashed, burnt, cut. I mean, like, I don't know how you actually kill him, you know, because he comes back and when he activates his. I mean, like you said, his bloodline, when he goes into his demonic form and he's accomplished some things that not even his father was able to do, and he's only half. So I don't, like you said, by the universe standards, like, first of all, nobody can kill, as far as I know, in devil may cry, nobody can kill him. The best thing they could do is that was, like, the best case scenario. You could seal them. But even then, that didn't hold, you know, when they did in anime, because the dude was like, we gonna steal the son of Sparta. You know? We gonna get it. And they couldn't even. That didn't even last because depending on his temperament and power level goes up. So, I mean, so if you look at these two characters, right? They both have superhuman strength that's out of this world, right? They both have superhuman healing factors that is out of this world as well, okay? Superhuman stamina, superhuman durability and, okay, superhuman speed. You're saying you name, if you put them, like, mirror, you know, side by side comparison to each other, like, their abilities are so, like, they have a few differences. Like, vampire honey has that hand that brought, like, he was literally dead. Somebody actually managed to kill him. Like, and he resurrected him. So, you know, again, another power set that he had, he came back after he was. He was killed, you know, and I mean, again, Dante, because his bloodline, I don't know how you kill him either, because I've seen some crazy stuff. Like, I seen him put swords through almost every part of his body, hold him there, all the blood loss and everything. And the dude still got up super juiced up, and he wasn't even in his demonic form then. So I don't, like you said, if you. If both of them turned on their. Their bloodlines, like, I don't know how you decide who's the most powerful and who's not. Like, I don't know. Like, how do you even judge? Uh, I don't know how you judge that. You know, I'm saying, because there's not one thing now I will say mister conspiracy. Like, now the thing about being both alive and dead simultaneously, like, because you're not in whatever, the book of life or whatever it is. Like, I mean, that might be. Maybe that's the key. I don't know. Because, like I said, because I still don't know if you can actually kill, um, Dante. I mean, we both seen both characters get physically wounded, you know, to a degree, but they get back up. Like, I mean, the only thing, I think the only thing, the only real weakness that vampire hunter d has, but again, my character wouldn't know that. Is that too much exposure to too much sunlight. But it only happens every blue moon, and it only puts them down for a couple of hours instead of days and stuff like that. So I don't really know. You know, like, I mean, maybe I'm missing something, maybe. Christopher Robbins, you got any opinion on this? Because, I mean, I really don't know where to go. Like, to say, oh, this is. This is a win. This is a ill. Like, I don't know how you say, you know, who is guaranteed stronger, you know, I mean, literally, I don't know. Like, yeah, you might have to help us out, maybe you, you know, you put in the comments who you think it's strong, because, I mean, mister conspiracy, I mean, can you say absolute? Who's the absolute winner in this fight and an absolute loser, like, without circumstances and that's the thing. [00:49:52] Speaker C: Like, well, since I'm the one that took vampire Hunter D, I technically shouldn't do this, but it is a crazy situation they would have to be in. And it really has to do more with vampire Hunter d basically existing and not existing in the aspects of life records. And basically what that means is almost like, okay, he must be. He exists in this realm and another realm, basically is how you can go with that. And Dante, depending on what. What version of Dante you use. Dante actually has the ability to destroy realms. [00:50:38] Speaker B: Mmm. [00:50:40] Speaker C: So yeah, it depends on what version of Dante we use. That could actually be the deciding factor on that circumstance. [00:50:49] Speaker A: Back to circumstances. [00:50:51] Speaker C: Yeah, be back to circumstance. Yes. [00:50:54] Speaker A: So without circumstances. Without, like you said, without these specific circumstances, it would be really hard to say who's gonna really win that fight, right? Without circumstances, like, certain things have to be a certain way for one of them to win this fight. I'm saying if we didn't have that, I don't see how you could say who's the winner and who's the loser. Like, it'd be really hard to do. [00:51:20] Speaker C: I'm like, so I'm sorry, I'm just gonna be real. I'm re real. You know, I love both characters. I am nothing biased either way because I love them both equal. But I will have to say this. This has to be said. If we talking about killing that, that's a whole different thing, right? Because that's just just a circumstance type thing at that point, you know, but if we just talk about just an all out one on one fight, I'm gonna be honest with you, I think Dante would actually beat him in an actual one on one fight. Because I feel that, you know, not from like a innate ability, stuff like that. I think from just actual combat ability. Dante is actually above vampire hunter D. You know, actual combat ability. [00:52:09] Speaker B: I'm not degree miss conspiracy on this one. I mean, it's gonna be a fight that's not, that's not getting construed. [00:52:16] Speaker C: It's only a fight. [00:52:17] Speaker B: Yeah, but I think is usually, and this is real reason why. I agree, mister conspiracy. Vampire hunter D has a long, I mean, he lives for a long time, right? This long stretch where he doesn't really do anything. He's just chilling from what we see, making stuff. He just goes from one town. One town. He'll get in big skirmishes. Yeah, he uses power. So he goes back to chilling for a long time, from what I know, not they always scrapping, always. [00:52:52] Speaker A: Well, I mean, here's the thing that. That's why I said it's height tricky, right? Because technically, vampire hunter d has lived a longer life, right? Yeah. And the thing we don't ever really know, like the novel, is the amount of how much did his daddy give him, right? How much did his dad teach him? Even if he's an experiment, right? At what point, you know, I know when Dante's dad stopped educating him, he was eight years old. You know, everything else beyond that. He found a mentor, he got training, things like that, right? Other things come into play for him, but, you know, with vampire hunter d because they don't really address that elephant in the room. Like, how long after, you know, the experiment happens? How long is he there? How long does his daddy pour into him? Is he just a lab rat? Does his dad actually love him? Is he training him the whole time? Or is he just happy to experiment? You know, you don't. I mean, and that's why I say it depends. Because if he was with his dad for, like, let's say maybe it was a thousand years, right? He was training with his father for a thousand years, but that's a whole different story, you know, fighting. Because, like, then at that point, I'd be like, well, do you really have the advantage? Because. And that's why I said there's a lot of. There's a lot of stuff with this. And I really wish, you know, we could get more into the nitty gritty of this fight because they're like, I would love, you know what? Shout out to death battle. Like, if y'all hear us on this channel, do vampire hunter d versus, if you hear me, death battle. Like, I would love to see the fight because, like, I think there's a lot of nuances here on this fight that it could go depending on, like you said, circumstances or stuff. We don't know, like, how you would calculate the strength. I mean, cuz these are, let's be honest, these are the two monsters. And, like, and if they existed in the same world, like, it's not like they would come in contact with each other. They might come across each other, but they're hunting different things. And so, you know, like, I mean, but, man, it would be an awesome battle because I'm thinking, like, if you're talking about fathers who are, like, the most powerful, Dracula and Spartan, like, in. In that, you know, that's how I. [00:55:00] Speaker C: Do that fight to DLC, you know. [00:55:10] Speaker A: Like, yo, like I said, man, it's an interesting fisticuffs, man, because I was like, I was thinking, I'm like, man, I don't know how this go, go. Like, I've been thinking about this since I put it out there. Like, I don't know how this is going, obviously. Like, it go. It's so many ways. [00:55:29] Speaker B: Present your. [00:55:34] Speaker A: Yeah, I, like, yeah, I don't know, man. Like, like I said, I. This is. I have to, the audience decide on this one, man. I don't, I don't really don't really know, you know, like I said, like, either one of me could win this fight. Like, but I'm gonna let the audience go with this one. I don't. I love both characters, so, like, I'm room for both, you know, technically in the same breath. It's like, you want to see it happen, but, man, like, what a battle that would be, man. Like, how many arenas or stages would be destroyed. Both of them got swords, long swords. You know, Dante got some guns on them. You know, they got both got these bloodline abilities that, I mean, they. Daddy's left. It's so much mandae. Like, I. Man, we could talk about this forever, I don't think. Like, I could come up and just say, like, yo, Dante gonna whoop vampire hunter d conspiracy. Like, I can't even say that with a straight face. Cause I thought, like, that. Like, I'd be disingenuous if I said that. Like, yo, I got it. I gotta be real on this one. Like, I can't call it mister conspiracy. Like, you can say what you want, but I can't call this bro. Like, I can't. I can't call this fight. [00:56:38] Speaker C: It's circumstance. It all comes down to a circumstance. And in my, just my opinion, it. Because it's kind of crazy because, you know, you gave me vampire hunter D, right? It's kind of crazy because if it's by circumstance, I think Dante by an edge, if it's really just by. Only by circumstance, Dante buy an edge, but that's still not even a guarantee. Just because of the. Just the godlike abilities that vampire hunter d actually does have that we didn't even dive into because we just don't have enough time for that. Um, it would still be really difficult even if Dante starts destroying realms because of the manipulation abilities that vampire Hunter D has when it comes to but manipulating ram. So it would still make that ability of Dante's even difficult for him to actually use, to beat him, even just doing that. But, but I'm not gonna get too complicated. I'm gonna leave it up to the audience. Down in the comments to decide. Cuz that's really crazy. We're gonna need some, some like, God tier experts to go ahead and come on in and let us know what's going on. [00:57:52] Speaker A: We'll have to leave. Fisticuffs dirt bay. Yeah. Audience, you got to tell us, man, who you love. You don't put it in the comments, man. Put some thumbs up on who you love, man. And if you got some answers for, hey, man, thumb down there, man. We'll try and respond to everybody we can. You know, pooh bear, I mean, do you got any, I know you're not in the fight. You're not even necessarily judging it, but, like, you got any opinion on this before we move on? And it's tough, man. It's a tough call. [00:58:31] Speaker B: I mean, you got, like I said, dante's endless fighting trainers from his dead, and he got what you call the devil trigger. He actually could transform into a demon. Um, like I said, he could. He can reach into destroy realms. Then, you know, you go over there to vampire Hunter D and we forgot about his little, his little hand companion. So if he does get the hell up, he resuscitates him. God tier power levels for. From his dad. He is also a proficient sword fight, so they're both proficient sword fighters. Doesn't Dante use a game, too? I mean. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I think he's took, well. [00:59:21] Speaker C: His telekinesis and stuff like that. Like, it's really powerful, so he really wouldn't need to have one because even. [00:59:27] Speaker A: If he was shooting down there, shooting bullets at him, he just put his hand up. I say it would come down to sword fighting, but even then, I can't tell you both. [00:59:38] Speaker B: It. That's hard. That's. Man. [00:59:47] Speaker A: I mean, but you know what? That's the point. That's the point of this, right, is to let your imagination roll wild, right? Like, it's easy when it's a one sided fight, but, like, these guys are so equally matched, it's hard to say. Like you say, it's circumstantial, right? Like, I don't know. That's why I said I didn't got decided. You pooh bearded. You actually have a, like, you know, if you. If it's for the audience, it's for the audience, man. I'm not mad at that because. [01:00:12] Speaker B: But then again, I mean, yeah, but, you know, finally, he does have 10,000 years, you know, I guess you could tap in all that experience and then you can say, well, you know, they both got stamina, out there, out the wazoo. So it's definitely going to be drawn out. [01:00:35] Speaker A: Who got more durability, who got more stamina? Who knows, right? [01:00:40] Speaker B: Gonna be cutting. I think it's gonna come down to combat knowledge, figuring out your opponent's weakness at some point and trying to exploit that. But they both battle geniuses. So it's gonna be not checkers, but check chess. It's gonna come down checkers. This is a chess fight. This is thinking, lord be. Yeah. Trying to. Trying to think 20 moves ahead, trying to stay, you know, that much ahead of your opponent, but who also could do the same thing, you know, I'm saying? So, bro. Oh, man. [01:01:14] Speaker A: Yeah. And then you got both of their dads cheering them on in the background. I want somebody to ask you, too, you know, like, hey, let me. Let me. Let me go see what your daddy about, you know, says. So, like I said, this. This is the fun of anime cartoons and all of this, right? Like, it's the things that I enjoy. Something you would never, ever see in real life. But, I mean, you get yourself. But you're. You're getting to let your imagination run wild a little bit on it. So as much anime and mangas we consume, like, I can't even answer that, you know, for this fight. So, like I said, it's to the audience. I'm gonna leave my piece till we move on to the next segment. But, yeah, that's all I got to say, man. Like, phenomenal. It's a great battle. Like, when you got me thinking all day, you didn't done something right. And it didn't matter about either one because, you know, we research and we trying to find that edge. But, man, that's. This one was a doozy. Like, I ain't got enough. I needed. I needed months of research, not days. I needed months to be able to dive in, you know, looking at everything. Like, I just. Yeah, there's no way to call it. That's it. [01:02:30] Speaker C: Transition, man. Come on. [01:02:34] Speaker A: That's why I was saying conspiracy. I was going over to you. So Liam was hot. Was not. So my apologies. [01:02:40] Speaker C: I didn't know. [01:02:41] Speaker A: I know you better boom and jump me in there, but it's all good. Well, since I usually have hosting, I usually try not to go first on what's hot, what's nothing. So I'm actually go to conspiracy on this one first. So what you got on our what's hot, what's not. [01:02:56] Speaker C: What's hot, what's not. Well, actually, season two of Goblin Slayer is actually hot because I actually started it. They're actually introducing a new character which is the wizard boy. I think that he's going to actually turn out to be the apprentice of the Goblin Slayer because he actually had the same type of tragedy that the Goblin Slayer had. But it was on like a little bit of a different level. And since his, he actually has abilities like magic, he can actually cast magic, expel caster. And so I think that that's really going to play a deep role in season two and it's going to give the Goblin Slayer more depth. So I'll probably let it build up a little bit more. But that's definitely, I feel like that that's gonna be hot. Season two is gonna be hot. Cuz I would start and I like it a lot. I think that is going to dive more into truly building out their world and, you know, them going up another layer when it comes to, you know, just showing their development right in their world and him as a person. So that is definitely my what's hide. Go ahead and start season two if you haven't started season two of a Goblin slayer. My what's not DLC always getting angry at me. So I'm gonna go ahead and say my what's not is spy family. [01:04:27] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, okay. [01:04:32] Speaker C: Yeah. Saying. So here's the kicker. The kicker, I like spy family. I do. I like the, I like the actual, the whole point. I like the story, how they're trying to go with it. I like the concept. I like the concept of spy family. I like most of the characters. I do not even like the little girl. I like little girl. My only gripe and the reason why it's my what's not. Cuz I got it through. Throw this out here. This is my only thing that I dislike really about it is how they do the little girl. I think she hurts it for me, the show, because I was expecting her because she has that innate ability, right. I was expecting them to do more with that ability or with her like maybe training and becoming a spy or becoming an assassin, taking like the best of both worlds, you know, them becoming more of a family or her, like learning more from them. Not her being such an idiot, but actually, you know what I mean? Like actually learn from. So she could become like better and kind of like take over for them or kind of take up where they lack. So like she's doing things in the background, in the shadows they ain't got no idea about. And she's kind of like cleaning up they mess, you know, as she's being like, I have no problem with her being goofy, things like that. I have no problem with that. It's the fact that I feel like that they make her dumb and they just keep her like that. And that really hurts the story for me, in my own personal opinion. So that's why that's my. What's not. [01:06:10] Speaker A: Oh, wow. Okay. Okay, man. That's. Whoo. I wasn't expecting that for sure. [01:06:18] Speaker B: Show. [01:06:19] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:06:20] Speaker A: Pooper. Yeah. Chris brothers. Yeah. I wasn't expecting them to go there on five. So you go ahead, sir. [01:06:28] Speaker B: I see mount my. What's hot right now? Of course, it's just me. A Shangri la frontier. I don't know if y'all started watching crunchyroll. Yeah. [01:06:39] Speaker A: Break it down for you. I was kind of waiting to see if it was worth something. So I haven't watched it. [01:06:45] Speaker B: I think. I think it's shaping up. I think it's only, like, three or four episodes in right now. So this is guy. He's a. So this is more like a gaming type of deal. They don't get transported and kind of puts you, like, sword art online without them being trapped. So I guess in their. Their world, there's people who are, like, certain people who play games that have bugs in them. Like, it makes them harder to beat. So there's just, like, a niche of people. Like, all they do is find these trash games. They have, like, tons of bugs. It's hard to beat. They make it their priority to beat them. Like. Like, they'll spend, like, hours, even if it takes years to do it. Well, this one guy. Cameras. Dang. Name? Shariko something. Sharuto something like that. He's like, an expert at this. Like. Like, so there's a community. So, like, everybody. Community knows who's. Who he is. And, uh, he just got through beating this one trash game. It's a lot. One of those love story games. I guess one of the characters that's supposed to help you, she's really bugged, and. But at the end, he finally beats it, and. And he turns around, he beats the hell out of. He finds Joanna. So then he goes, yeah, so I think he's beaten, like, every trash game that's come out now. So he goes to the kind of, like, a gamestop, the gaming store, and he asked the owners, like, hey, I finally beat it. What you got for me? And she was like, well, I mean, you kind of pretty much decimated all the trash games. You know, that's kind of out there. He said, how about you change it up a little bit. They just came out with a virtual game. It's called Shane rely frontier. He said the means that bugs that. Nope. Snow bugs. But it's supposed to be like, like top notch, kind of like a world of war crash. Like, it's supposed to be like the top tier. It's up there hard. Like, people. It's not like a tutorial. Like, you just got to get in and you got to figure it out. And he's like, you know what? I give it a try. So he goes in. I think he sets all his abilities low on purpose just to, like, make it fun for him. I think he puts on, like, this bird mask, and he walks around kind of neck and in his basement, his boxes. So I'm not gonna go more into detail in that. Just in case. If you want to watch it, I want to make a little bit more surprise, but so far, it's going pretty, pretty good. It's got my attention. I'm hoping it opens up more, but if it doesn't, then it's gonna go into the mid. My mid range. Just something to watch. But right now, I'm kind of enjoying it. What's not? I actually don't have one this week because I've been kind of just. Yeah, watching my little watch list, all stuff, so. Okay, I'm then staying away from trash. [01:09:54] Speaker A: Oh, no, you watch them machine stuff. So I can't say. [01:10:00] Speaker B: Vending machine had rolls up from trash. To a me, it's something. Is that the pig? One night, it rolls up a level. Die. [01:10:09] Speaker C: At least. [01:10:09] Speaker B: At least called my interest in end, it was. It was cool. He actually did some stuff. But when you a pig dog, and that's. That's basically all you are, dog, you come back to life as a pig in another world. Now it's in his place. Trash. [01:10:25] Speaker A: Yep. Thanks for that. All right, so I'm gonna start a little different for mine. I'm gonna start with what's not, you know, saying so. And the reason I'm gonna say this is because of the length. This has more to do with the length of the story. Rebirth of the urban immortal cultivator manga. So never. You've never read the manga? Like, it starts off really good. Like, I don't know what it is. I love the martial artists who have been alive for all these years. Can you hear me? [01:10:57] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:11:00] Speaker A: Okay. These martial artists who then went up to this immortal palace and come back, and they go back thousands of years, back to when they were human. And this is one of them stories like, I enjoy the story, but the problem is, is this thing has 937 chapters and it's not ending anytime soon. So. My what's not is because you don't know. Whoever's writing this, learn how to end it. It's okay. We know the dude is super op. Like, he's so op. Like, nobody can even scratch your hair on his head. Like, at some point, he's just gonna rule the universe and keep it moving or get back to what he was doing. So, look, it can end and it's okay. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. So that's why it's my. What's not. Cuz you gotta learn. It's just like one piece. At certain point in time, you just gotta stop. Like, you can over saturate something. [01:11:57] Speaker B: I gotta. The one piece actually gets better each season. [01:12:00] Speaker A: So you can disagree. That's your choice. That is your opinion, sir. Disagree about that one piece. [01:12:10] Speaker B: Lovers unite. It's going strong, baby. [01:12:12] Speaker C: We going strong with. [01:12:15] Speaker A: Yeah, he. Yeah, he got a telegram account for y'all. Y'all can all talk together about this. [01:12:23] Speaker B: Appointment. [01:12:25] Speaker A: Anyway, now, my, what's hot is kind of a unique. This is actually a unique manga. Not even anime. It's a unique manga. It's called triple s class suicide hunter now. Yeah, so I actually, this is actually, yeah, it's a magnus. So what makes this unique is you. You got the, you know. You know how you have in their world, you got hunters, you got all that stuff, you got dungeons, you got all that. This guy is mad at his trash life. Why it sucks and why, you know, like, these people, I think the people who have the powers, who have been chosen by the tower and everything like that. Once you get chosen by the tower, you get a power and things like that. Well, as he's praying and asking for power and all this, what he does, he gets an SS class ability, and his ability is Isdev. Whoever he is killed by, he has the ability to come back to life and get one of their abilities of. He can't choose this random. And so at first, he's like, this is some B's who gets the ability. They gotta die to get right. And so the first two chapters, it's like, oh, man. It's like, you see all these powerful people, and then the person he idolizes the most is. Is a monster. Like he is a psychopath killing people just for fun. [01:13:50] Speaker B: Wait a minute. [01:13:51] Speaker A: And there's about to be. [01:13:52] Speaker B: Is this the one where he actually gives him a choice or different cards. The ability. [01:13:57] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:13:58] Speaker B: Oh, okay. Yeah, that was dope. Yeah, yeah. I know what you talking about now. [01:14:02] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. And for the audience who don't know, like, so he sees his person he loves and idolizes about to create a situation with a chicken, and he goes over there, and he watches his idol murder her, and then he ends up getting murdered by his idol, but by doing so, he ends up gaining at random. He didn't know what it is. He knew he had the ability. He didn't believe it. But he dies, and he grabs one of the guys ability, and basically, the guy's ability allows him to basically rewind time for 24 hours, even if you die. So basically, he's immortal. Anytime he dies, if he dies by a person, he can come back 24 hours prior, and then he can select one of their abilities. But if you die by the same person, you can't get another card to select. So what does this crazy dude do? He's like, I got this ability now 24 hours ago, and he's like, no wonder this guy was so strong. This guy is terrible. And he literally kills himself 4090 times to go back 20 years into the past, which if that don't tell you nothing about his determination to be not trash. He killed himself that many times to go back 20 years. And it's a really good read, so I don't want to give it all away. Like I said, I gave you his initial abilities, but, you know, that's. That was really it, so. But that's my. What's hot was not, you know, I'm saying, so, hey, look, go pick it up. Great manga. And if you heard me talk about that, my what's not. And you're the author of such said manga. Please stop. It's okay. Please stop. Go create a new project. Okay? Thank you. Go do something else, man. Which time?
