Watch the very highly requested Solo Leveling Ep 2 with your favorite Southern Senpias!

Howdy.

It's the Southern Senpai Show, where small town Southerners explore big

time Japanese entertainment, anime, manga, and everything in between.

Here's your hosts, Nicholas and DJ.

What's going on y'all?

This is Southern Senpais, two Southern guys who explore

Japanese culture together.

I'm DJ, and before we actually did this this whole episode was actually messed up.

What are we doing today, DJ?

The thing was full.

So now he had a second shot.

He did.

He did a great job.

Yeah, great job Then we'll see what do we watch along with episode two

We saw the first episode and even though the I wouldn't say slow burn

I just say it was slow until the end in the end of the first episode.

Yeah it was a slow burn because the character is generic the setup.

Excuse me Yeah, this well the setup is generic.

But also the thing is it's like When you have this type of anime,

it does have to be generic.

It's all about the execution, right?

Yeah, this is that a single ad is if you give you know a painter

and a novice The same amount of paints the actual professional

painter is going to do a great job It doesn't really work It doesn't

matter that his tools are the same.

It's not really about the tools that you have It's about the

execution of those tools, right?

You could give The professional painter Fisher Price tools and paints

and you give the novice, Professional grade everything and thanks experts

still gonna blow them out the water.

This is great But we thought the ending was pretty good Today's scene

enhancer is brought to you by Modelo.

Yeah, hello.

Yeah, dude You guys sponsor us, I didn't know Modelo was just Spanish for model.

It is Yeah, Modelo is just special, it's Spanish for model, and when

it says Modelo what is it, Modelo Especial or something like that?

That's just Spanish for special model.

Jack Daniels is just English for some guy's name.

No, but it's like in Harry Potter where it's like, the reason why Harry Potter

was, one of the reasons why Harry Potter was so successful is because, like, all

the houses and, boarding school and all that kind of stuff adds to the mystique

and magic of Harry Potter, when that's just regular shit that goes on in Britain.

Like how they have like houses in, they, like they have houses

and prefects and boarding school.

Do they get sorted by a hat?

Not a hat, but if they get sorted by personalities, no I don't know

how they get sorted, but most of that is taken from British society.

What's your middle school like?

Middle school?

Because my middle heathens.

You were a heathen in middle school?

Yeah, we were a bunch of heathens.

Wearing Aeropostale and Hollister.

Not personally, but in my middle school they did that.

They had they weren't called houses.

We were called sections.

But I was, like, section C.

We had A, B, C, D, and E in middle school, and now it's section C.

You guys didn't have that?

We like, you have your own hallway, and your own colors and shit?

No, bro, we were just thrown in with everybody.

That's the Louisiana education system for you.

Yeah, we're just savages.

I, I guess I, I never thought of that about being standard.

Cause when you think, when you said, Wait, we're not teeing

up with Harry Potter right now.

Yeah, let's do solo leveling.

Okay, alright.

As you guys know, we do not have the studio intros here.

We just have the, just the episode.

It doesn't mean we don't have the intro of the actual episodes, yeah,

whatever, you know what I'm saying?

The episode is 20 minutes and 40 seconds long.

So I'm going to press play in three, two, one.

Do you like it?

Whenever animes do this, where they drop off or they start right where they dropped

off at, and then they do the intro.

Or do you like it when they do the intro and then lead into the episode?

I honestly believe that it's probably like a tactic of theirs because it's

like, if they start off directly with the intro, some people who don't

like, like people's attention spans drop off in half a second nowadays.

They even do that in a lot of American TV shows, so it's called a teaser

before any of the intros are shown.

So it's just a teaser.

Just immediate gratification.

I think that everyone does that.

I don't know, I think the times where it starts just directly off the intro, is

because You know that this anime is fire and these episodes are about to be fire.

So you don't need a teaser.

Case in point, Naruto was done at a year and a half at Naruto episodes.

I just started straight off with the intro.

Yeah, a lot of Dragon Ball Z episodes start off just with the intro.

What was that one?

Full Metal Alchemist?

Some sort of Dragoon, but those are like A tier episodes.

You don't no one's ever been like, Ugh, I need a teaser to watch this,

But, Full Metal Alchemist episode.

Also, how did we go from A tier to S tier?

Who decided S was like, Why not T tier?

Why not A and then T tier?

Yeah, it's usually A, B, C, D, E.

You know what I think it is?

What?

Doesn't Dance Revolution do S tiers?

I don't know.

But I'm just saying, like, when you're grading papers, like

you never got an S on a paper.

Who decided, why can't it be V tier?

All I know is that if I was in school and someone, a creature was great at paper

and I'm like, all right, you got an S.

I'd be like, dude, I failed beyond belief.

This is beyond the fail on the F.

This is beyond F.

Which is weird because if F stands for failed, then it implies that the

other letters also stand for something.

Yeah.

What is C?

It's D is for, it's like A is dumbass B is dumbass, B is eh, could be better,

C is competent, you're a cunt, D is B is basic B is basic A is asshole,

why'd you get it so high and then S is superb, yeah, suck my dick, you're

too smart I, I'm gonna come up with a new create your own education system.

Because you have to create an education system.

You can't use A, B, C, D, or E, or the S.

How are you, what's your grading structure?

Oh, I would just go to a new country.

I'd just go to Japan or Germany and see what their grading system

is and just slap it on there.

I think they do the same thing as us.

I'll find somewhere that already has an established grading system,

so I don't have to, all I gotta do is just adopt it over here.

That's the American way.

Stealing others.

Stealing other people's shit.

Nah, I think that's British, Britain's thing.

Ours is more we act like we've owned it this whole time.

We don't steal it, we say it was already ours.

And if you try and prove me wrong Would just bomb you what you have oil

Weapons of mass destruction you beat the crap of them by telling them I

have weapons of mass destruction until they make weapons of mass destruction

to get rid of your weapons of mass destruction They see their weapons of

mass destruction I heard that he was actually was Saddam was trying to start

a new currency And back it by oil.

Yeah, it'd be taken down And everybody else was like, yeah, fuck the u.

s and you know what's crazy?

I remember watching like I was like, who was it?

He did 9 11, didn't he?

No, it was somebody else, right?

Whatever.

I remember watching 9 11 as a kid like on the television.

Oh, no, it's not saddam.

It's Hussein.

No, it's saddam hussein.

That was done 9 11.

Oh, whoa You Hey, man

Don't move Okay, but yeah, but it doesn't matter that's your space.

That was your specialty.

Why did you?

Hey, don't

I mean we knew that was going to happen All right truth time Would it

be inappropriate to ask for them sneaks though and be like yo, let me get them

off You're not using them no more bro.

Hold on man.

It's not Saddam Hussein That's like really a

Man I sound really stupid right now, but I'm a southern senpai.

So I guess it's own brand, right?

Yeah, you're you know part of being American is not knowing America's

history is having the utmost confidence and being wrong At the same time right?

We're Americans.

It doesn't matter that we're wrong.

We keep doing the wrong thing till it turns out, right?

That's our foreign policy, right?

We don't negotiate with terrorists because we don't know how.

We don't negotiate because that would be work.

It's just easier to Just bomb the crap out of people.

We had hostages.

Yeah, just let them die.

Eh, it didn't really Did it take like forever to get that famous

basketball player out of Russia?

And they were like, Ow!

Can you just please just give us the bomb guy?

If you stop asking me about it, I'll do it.

And the people, and the person we traded her for.

Yeah, he's like a It was, there was a Nicolas Cage about that movie.

About the person.

Oh, okay, so wait a minute.

They're supposed to be following certain rules.

You guys didn't look at the rules when you first got in here?

He looks like a a titan.

With the stone guy?

Yeah.

I ain't gon lie, bro.

Their sweat drops be big as hell in this.

Doesn't that look like a titan?

It does.

It looks like me when I see a bag of unused Doritos.

Unopened Doritos.

Unused Doritos?

Yeah, man.

What's an unused Dorito?

Oh I'm so glad you asked, Nicholas.

When you have many siblings, so you only had one brother.

Do you know what that means?

And you both are guys.

That means just, someone wins and someone loses.

That's it.

Fifty fifty.

You win and you lose.

But Nicholas, I grew up with three younger sisters.

Do you know what that means?

No, everything is shared.

We don't have like bags of Doritos in the bag.

My parents, they took Doritos and just dumped them into a large bowl.

If you wanted Doritos, you gotta just alright, I don't know if they dug

their hands into these Doritos already, but, fuck it, I also want Doritos.

Sounds gross, man.

Not really, whatever, man, you want fucking Doritos

you're gonna play the game.

You know what I'm saying?

If you want Doritos, you want Doritos.

And, I gotta tell ya.

Doesn't he look like a Castlevania dude?

Who, this guy walking up?

Yeah.

Oh, he looks like Alucard.

Yeah, I was about to say.

Whoa, I think you're praying to the wrong god.

You're supposed to pray to them, right?

To this guy?

Wait, I like soccer!

Oh my god!

This guy really enjoys his job.

I wish I had a job where I just wake up and just smile.

Whoa, whoa, bro.

Bro, he just got smashed.

Dog, them toes is drawn way too well.

Them ankles is drawn way too well.

Don't do it.

Dude.

Okay.

Good.

See, this is just a side.

That's how, okay, that's fine.

Maybe we're wrong.

Cause it's just a side.

I hate this person so much.

This girl is so annoying.

Nope, the drawing the toes are super detailed in the back, bro.

They're super detailed?

Nah.

Nah, dog.

Man likes men feet.

I guess men feet are, could be drawn the same way as women feet, right?

I'm not a foot expert.

I don't know.

We should call a podiatrist.

And the dude just got split in half.

Alright, right side or left side if you can split in half?

Right side, definitely.

Why?

Because it's the best side, man.

It's my good side.

No, leave Judy.

She's done nothing but talk shit the whole previous episode.

She was like, look, you get no hoes, you have no powers, you in the way.

They are just knocking people off.

Just a quick shout out to any women listening.

Being a tsundere is not like a personality type that you should be proud of.

A what?

The tsundere where it's oh, I'm going to be mean to them

because I actually like them.

Then they get somehow surprised.

What's tsundere?

A tsundere, apparently.

What's a tsundere?

I'm, I literally am explaining it right now.

So apparently this this trope in anime where the girl is mean to somebody,

But she like, secretly likes them.

So she's mean to them.

You know what I mean?

Yeah?

Yeah.

In real life, it doesn't work that way.

You know what I mean?

Oh, only one per person?

Okay, screw this person.

Leave Judy.

You'll be fine!

No, what are you doing unless she has a big booty?

The great equalizer big booty judy, it's a great equalizer That's probably

what it is actually And being and isn't he like a high schooler?

I told you see look how detailed you got the veins in there It's a statue bro.

Why did your vein?

Why did your statue have so detailed right?

And it's a statue Oh, thank you, that'll help I appreciate

it You know what's weird?

They always get blood on their forehead, but they never get cut or hit in the head.

Look at the knuckles on this, bro!

I don't understand how he got blood on his forehead, though.

No, dawg no, they need this artist.

You No, sir.

This man really likes feet.

They're so detailed.

What the fuck?

Oh, they die?

This is a smeared foot?

Oh, they sung.

Okay, now before anything else goes wrong, please remember

the is there something else?

That list looked long.

It looked a little long.

Yeah, are you able to hey, stop talking and do wherever the next step is, please.

How does that not hurt?

Probably shock.

Probably the, the adrenaline and the shock.

You just don't notice, oh, okay.

Oh, you're dying?

Thank God.

Did she die in this episode?

I don't know.

Man, I sure do hope so.

She overused her Byaku Gan.

Facts.

And it's time for the scene enhancer.

There you go.

Yes, you are absolutely number one to blame.

Yeah, like you did this.

Everyone else is inexperienced.

Oh, we're also having a death water here.

That's iced tea, liquid death.

Yeah, agave and vitamins, so it's not the regular water thing.

It's just juice.

Oh, you have to offer to the gods.

Okay.

You could offer that girl.

Yeah, kill Judy.

Yeah, so murder Judy.

Hey just a quick word.

All of you been wrong this whole time, so maybe we should let the

guy who actually read the fucking instructions make the decisions.

Yeah, you voted as a group.

How is he supposed to know?

Okay, he should probably say that before he kills himself.

There is no way someone this tan is Japanese.

She looks Latina.

Or Indian.

Hey you ever hear about the one footed man in the ass kicking contest?

He won.

I love how these beasts are so generic looking.

Yeah.

They're like, Oh my God, like beasts, whenever they say beasts, they're gonna

show an ogre, some lizard guy, and then smaller ogre goblin looking thingies.

Guaranteed.

Damn.

That's as generic as they are.

Oh I feel bad.

You dick.

I stand by what I said, but I still don't DEH OH HO!

Oh, that's why they're getting the The money.

The crystals.

Okay, so I don't remember on the instructions, but it said only a

certain amount of people will live.

Oh, okay, there it is.

Do they become Power Rangers now?

No, now they become Digi destined.

That would be hype!

Hehehehehheh Heheheh Huh?

Whoa.

Yeah, it really doesn't.

Why is there a shot of the cup?

Why did you Why are y'all showing crotch?

So then you gotta back up.

What are you doing?

Hey!

She got out.

I ain't gonna lie.

I think she probably just killed him because, you about to take a shit?

What's going on, bro?

Tell me.

Oh, okay.

Alright, what's your guess?

Do you think they died after escaping?

I don't know.

Thanks.

You guys were there already.

Yeah, so maybe you should shut the fuck up and listen to him.

The weakest of all mankind.

How did you base that out, bro?

Wasn't there like a bunch of people on E?

All right.

We'll go into three, three triangle formation.

You can actually high key get, don't do this with just two people.

Okay.

I don't know if you were caught up on previous events.

I don't have a foot.

Oh God.

I hate this person so much.

He's now my favorite anime character.

My favorite character.

You are my favorite anime character, bro.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Nicholas Dean used to sell life insurance?

Yep.

Man.

I'm sure you could've taught this person a thing or two about

good life insurance practices.

Just a little bit.

Oh, he blocked it.

I don't How did you do that?

I don't know.

There's no way you fucking did that.

Anime logic.

Just get on top of the altar, man.

Just Wow.

Is that the other arm?

Oh no, you still have an arm.

How is he not dead yet?

Because he's the protagonist.

They're like

Ooh.

This is brutal, man.

Dang, bro.

How are you still alive?

Yeah, that's what I'm gonna know.

This man has the blood clots of a Jamaican.

Oh, the timer went out.

Yes.

Oh, it listened to me.

That's cool.

Oh, I guess we're part of the game now.

Or this is the ending.

Oh, it's an ending.

Okay, cool.

What did you think, Nicholas?

It was pretty good.

I guess I see the pattern of it ends like that so you watch the next episode.

It was an old TV trick but yeah.

I honestly, I did like the episode.

This was an interesting challenge.

But, I assume that this show gets liked.

And the thing, I I assume because it's the series that he passes some

grand test and then Because the it's about the fact that he's the

only one that can level up, right?

You know what's weird?

There's not anything I can Bless you.

Appreciate it.

Is there anything that I can point to that I really like about it so far?

It could be only because it's only the second episode, but I,

I still would watch another one.

No, yeah, of course.

Dude, do you think that people like take their headphones off?

Jesus, man, you just sneezed.

You just, in my ear.

God, I hope so, or else someone's gonna be very upset at us.

But, What is this ending here?
