Speaker:I'm gonna be honest with you man, I don't remember anything that
Speaker:happened, uh, in the last episode.
Speaker:I remember, the last thing I remember is that he's like,
Speaker:completely physically different.
Speaker:Natalie's sister is attracted to him for some reason, ever so slightly.
Speaker:Uh, the annoying person that I hate is back, and he's still,
Speaker:I do, I don't, I don't.
Speaker:You got that little stinger.
Speaker:Yeah, I don't, I don't, I don't fucking get this man.
Speaker:All right, so, bye.
Speaker:His, his superpower is to progress in the story.
Speaker:You know, you know, the crazy part about this is, is that he's got
Speaker:like one punch man power, right?
Speaker:So he like does a hundred push ups and a hundred sit ups and
Speaker:like this, that and the other.
Speaker:And then like, now he's like super powerful, all hot and shit.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And he like grew ten inches.
Speaker:Like he was like, what, like five, six and now he's like, Oh yeah, now I'm six, six.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And it's like.
Speaker:What?
Speaker:And also, I Still, my whole thing is like, oh, okay, my power is
Speaker:to progress through the story.
Speaker:That's like most stories that's supposed to happen.
Speaker:But I'm the only one that can do it though.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:This is like That's how the twist goes.
Speaker:You know who did solo leveling way better?
Speaker:Goku and Dragon Ball Z.
Speaker:This is the poor man's Dragon Ball Z.
Speaker:Super poor.
Speaker:You know who else did it better?
Speaker:Who?
Speaker:Naruto and Naruto.
Speaker:It's literally the basic formula for anime.
Speaker:You know who did it better?
Speaker:Ichigo and Bleach.
Speaker:And like literally both anime protagonists have this ability.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:The only difference is now no one else can get better, which is kind
Speaker:of like That just makes it easier.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:You know who also did this better?
Speaker:Um, what was that?
Speaker:What was that anime?
Speaker:Um, the pretentious one?
Speaker:You know the one I'm talking about.
Speaker:I don't.
Speaker:The one where he's really mad.
Speaker:The Hulk?
Speaker:No.
Speaker:The Hulk.
Speaker:He's mad.
Speaker:Alright.
Speaker:Oh, uh.
Speaker:Name that anime with Nicolas Cage.
Speaker:The Viking.
Speaker:Your first hint is The Viking.
Speaker:He was the Viking and he was the little kid and he was mad.
Speaker:The viking, little kid, and man.
Speaker:If you have an idea what Nicholas is talking about, send us a mail.
Speaker:Send us a mail or DM us on Zipfy's.
Speaker:No, you know what, you were like, uh, um.
Speaker:He's giving us extra hints here.
Speaker:No, the thing was, is like, he gets kidnapped by the, his dad dies.
Speaker:In the valley, and he gets shot up with all the arrows.
Speaker:I'm sure that's so specific, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker:And gets kidnapped.
Speaker:Death, Mad, Anime.
Speaker:You heard it here, folks, first.
Speaker:You know what I'm talking about.
Speaker:You know what, I'm gonna try to guess.
Speaker:Alright, I'm gonna try to guess.
Speaker:So, the clues are He's mad.
Speaker:Uh, his dad is dead.
Speaker:He's constantly wanting to kill the guy.
Speaker:Revenge?
Speaker:This could be a Western, for all I know.
Speaker:But you said Viking, so I feel like it's not a Western.
Speaker:But, if I took out the Viking part, That would mean it's a, uh, It would
Speaker:sound like a, uh, A Western Lin Saga.
Speaker:Ah, ooh.
Speaker:You didn't let me guess.
Speaker:You didn't.
Speaker:Lemme guess.
Speaker:You know what I was thinking either that or there's like a spinoff of the Magi.
Speaker:I was like, I think it's one of these two.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Vilin Saga.
Speaker:Vilin Saga.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Cool.
Speaker:Vilin Saga.
Speaker:Did it better.
Speaker:Well, thank you for playing.
Speaker:If you , if you were able to guess he saw on, yeah.
Speaker:Vilan Saga did did it way better.
Speaker:And the crazy part is he actually gained no powers.
Speaker:He just literally just got better.
Speaker:He just got at fighting.
Speaker:He just got more traumatized.
Speaker:Yeah, he didn't have a video game cheat code to get better.
Speaker:And also, let me ask you this.
Speaker:So before this, he was at a lower power, right?
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:It's also kind of And you get born at this, at this stage.
Speaker:You don't get any better.
Speaker:Right, right, right.
Speaker:So, he was so revolutionary.
Speaker:He was kind of like skinny though, right?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:So like, you know, like in real life, you started doing a hundred pushups a day.
Speaker:You would just become like a better person physically.
Speaker:I wonder if he did any physical workout before this, would he probably be better?
Speaker:It's like, okay, I can't get any more powerful, but it doesn't say I can gain.
Speaker:I can't gain any more skills.
Speaker:True.
Speaker:Like in Vinland Saga, he didn't become more powerful per se.
Speaker:He just got more and more Viking skills was better at just killing people.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Alright, well if you like this, uh, if you like this anime series,
Speaker:We've just torn through it.
Speaker:Okay, let's, uh, we're gonna watch this episode 10 now.
Speaker:Um, we don't have any of those, those, uh, studio openings, so if
Speaker:you're watching it online, I see, we see, what are these, rain clouds?
Speaker:Or it's like some sort of water?
Speaker:Whatever.
Speaker:Yeah, it starts at rain clouds.
Speaker:Rain clouds.
Speaker:Water frame falling on my head.
Speaker:Yeah, it's only 23 minutes and 40 seconds.
Speaker:All right, i'm gonna press play in three
Speaker:Oh, I already hate this So now she's on a date with him now that he's that guy
Speaker:and taller than her and better than her
Speaker:And now he's like sasuke and brooding Why are you wearing a hoodie?
Speaker:What like why who are you hiding from bro?
Speaker:Look how sharp her chin is
Speaker:I get why they never hooked up now She's on top of you and she
Speaker:throws her head the wrong way.
Speaker:That's it for you.
Speaker:Stab you in the eye.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:That's
Speaker:Why do you Like, you think it's nice to say those things, but like, you're
Speaker:really roasting me all the time.
Speaker:His chin is kind of sharp too.
Speaker:They have some really sharp chins in this.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Maybe that's the style of the anime.
Speaker:Maybe.
Speaker:It's a sign of their powers.
Speaker:You can't have The sharper the chin, the higher the level.
Speaker:The higher the level.
Speaker:Good.
Speaker:That's great.
Speaker:Also, if you're on a date with some chick, why are you in this school shooter hoodie?
Speaker:I don't know.
Speaker:With the hood on, by the way.
Speaker:Maybe he's so famous now, he has to.
Speaker:Why does his jacket have a belt on the lower side of it?
Speaker:Why does this jacket have a belt?
Speaker:I'm not getting off this.
Speaker:I've never seen this fashion sense in my life.
Speaker:Maybe that's Japanese, dude.
Speaker:That's incorrect.
Speaker:As an American, that's incorrect Japanese.
Speaker:We didn't even know what cricket was until we all found out we were one of the best
Speaker:at it a few days ago All right beating Pakistan Apparently, it's one of those
Speaker:popular sports in the world and we didn't even know it existed And then we just our
Speaker:part timers came up and we're the best.
Speaker:Hey, uh, let's try this.
Speaker:Hmm, right?
Speaker:Also, so is that
Speaker:Oh yeah, yeah, because that guy's brother died.
Speaker:He's like, oh, you probably murdered him.
Speaker:Yeah, but your brother was murdering people too, so I don't
Speaker:really feel bad for you, dawg.
Speaker:But I can understand the confusion, I guess.
Speaker:Huh?
Speaker:Huh?
Speaker:Yeah, you said that two minutes ago at the beginning of this scene.
Speaker:Oh, you mean my one sister?
Speaker:You know what?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Dude, so Did you change voice actors?
Speaker:So, S Ranks can just do whatever they want.
Speaker:Well, I guess you, cause you can't, uh, you can't really kill them, cause
Speaker:there's so much, they're unstoppable, so what are you supposed to do?
Speaker:They're basically gods among men, like, you go fight them.
Speaker:You want to change?
Speaker:You go do it, bro.
Speaker:What was that, uh?
Speaker:You know what, there's a refrigerator behind you there, Nicholas.
Speaker:Why don't you hand me one of those liquid death mangoes out of there?
Speaker:Oh, yeah?
Speaker:Did you want one?
Speaker:Um, sure.
Speaker:There's also a ginger ale in there.
Speaker:I'll take the ginger ale.
Speaker:Canada Dry, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker:We're not using any, uh, scene enhancers.
Speaker:I, I don't know if I could handle this show on a whole bunch of scene enhancers.
Speaker:I think this show is enhanced enough.
Speaker:Heh heh heh heh.
Speaker:To be, to be fair, this was like a Webtoons thing.
Speaker:And that got popular enough for, you know, it to become an anime.
Speaker:And I don't have an anime, so, you know, what do I know?
Speaker:Getcha!
Speaker:Getcha!
Speaker:I'm missing it, hold on.
Speaker:Get up, get up!
Speaker:What's the ending say?
Speaker:Oh, it's still going!
Speaker:You know, it does that fake out thing I forgot!
Speaker:Heh, yeah.
Speaker:It's like, yeah, the song's over!
Speaker:Psych!
Speaker:The headlines!
Speaker:Cheers to Ginger Ale.
Speaker:Oh, actually, I have a beer for you if you want it.
Speaker:I'll have to do that next episode.
Speaker:A scene enhancer?
Speaker:You want a real one?
Speaker:We'll do that next episode.
Speaker:Cheers?
Speaker:Cheers.
Speaker:I have the Mango Chainsaw if I could give and like talk about this real
Speaker:fast while this shit is playing because this scene definitely doesn't matter.
Speaker:Um, as you know, the only parts that matter are the middle of the
Speaker:show and then the last half, the beginning of it's completely useless.
Speaker:We've already figured that out.
Speaker:So, Liquid Death, it says Mango Chainsaw and But don't drink it if you're thirsty.
Speaker:Yeah, like, Nicholas and I, this is our first real thing that, uh, It's
Speaker:not even a soda, it's carbonated water.
Speaker:That we drank plenty of, but like, it's the, It doesn't cure your thirst.
Speaker:No.
Speaker:The carbonation in the water, like, really throws it off.
Speaker:And I have to be frank.
Speaker:It makes you thirsty.
Speaker:Yeah, if I had to be frank, like, A lot of, like, there's some mango
Speaker:taste, no chainsaw taste at all.
Speaker:None whatsoever, I was inspecting oil.
Speaker:Right, I mean, it looks like they write it like it's half drunk.
Speaker:Trust me, I'm from the south, so I know what chainsaw tastes like.
Speaker:Like, if you drink a lemon lime, I'm like, this is a lemon lime soda.
Speaker:You don't have any lemon taste in it.
Speaker:It's just lime, right?
Speaker:Lemon lime soda, but just with, you know, only lime in it.
Speaker:There's no lemon taste, it's just, you know.
Speaker:This is, this is, this is, you should shut up and just let them do that.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Look, all of you are bitch ass pussies who will slow me down, sit your ass
Speaker:right the fuck here, you on the crutch.
Speaker:I invited you because I think it's kind of funny.
Speaker:Stealth.
Speaker:I'm not gonna lie, if I had the, uh, wait, shouldn't you use it when you get inside?
Speaker:Just in case there's a time limit on there?
Speaker:You don't Oh, oh.
Speaker:Oh, he just learned it.
Speaker:This man thinks he's dripped out so hard
Speaker:There's like when your bro shows up and like new shoes like do what you
Speaker:think you're like bro are those Shaq's?
Speaker:Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, no diddy
Speaker:What you mean by that
Speaker:leave him behind do it why
Speaker:cuz you've no armor At least lemme keep the helmets
Speaker:Why did they wait till nighttime to do this?
Speaker:Wasn't it like bright daylight out?
Speaker:Then why?
Speaker:Okay, if you actually believe this, how wouldn't you need
Speaker:to know if they died or not?
Speaker:Or else would you be sitting out there all night?
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:How would you know if they're cleared under?
Speaker:There's no radio, would you wait?
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And how is,
Speaker:wait, so he's an eran, but he's got the power of a B rank, right?
Speaker:Oh, it's only been an hour.
Speaker:And he said it should've took them two hours.
Speaker:You know who actually, you know what?
Speaker:I actually know, dude.
Speaker:I know who they copied this fricking anime from.
Speaker:It was from, uh, I think I told you about that anime I heard of called, uh, Magi?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:In Magi, a whole bunch of dungeons show up out of nowhere.
Speaker:And if you conquer them, you get powers.
Speaker:That 10 years ago.
Speaker:And the main character goes from being a slave to like this super powerful guy.
Speaker:Basically who had no abilities and then gets all these abilities
Speaker:as he like conquers dungeons.
Speaker:You think it's a copy and paste?
Speaker:Not a copy and paste, but it's like, it looks, it's like, they
Speaker:saw that, and it was like, this needs to be more Shonen in this.
Speaker:And then they, they did this.
Speaker:Don't you have school that I'm paying for?
Speaker:Can you shut your ass up about the amount of work that I have to do?
Speaker:You're literally the reason I have to do all this work.
Speaker:Bro, if my job was to sit there and shut the fuck up while I get money, You
Speaker:wouldn't catch me missing a day for it.
Speaker:I'll come in on my days off.
Speaker:Damn man.
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:No, dig.
Speaker:Just,
Speaker:and with my increased wrist skill.
Speaker:Why is this man dressed like he has, he's Russian.
Speaker:It was like a Dina's sweatsuit on.
Speaker:And I'd be like, hey, um, did that just fabricate out of thin air?
Speaker:How did you just do that?
Speaker:Do you, I think you, I think you're doing something that I don't know.
Speaker:You think he's ever going to wear some armor or anything?
Speaker:No, no.
Speaker:That would, that would, that would be good.
Speaker:They're not going to do that.
Speaker:Oh.
Speaker:This hoodie, this same hoodie, this is his character outfit.
Speaker:You never see Charlie Brown wear like a plaid shirt, do you?
Speaker:A job change quest, what'd you say?
Speaker:You've never seen Charlie Blad uh, Brad.
Speaker:Charlie Brown wear a plaid shirt, right?
Speaker:This is his, you know, brown shirt with a squiggle on it.
Speaker:That's what he wears.
Speaker:So, here's a real question.
Speaker:You said you never heard of them, but obviously their last
Speaker:name is, like, what do you mean?
Speaker:How is this guy more famous than the other guy who's a multi
Speaker:billionaire who's a son of a multi billionaire that everyone knows?
Speaker:And you guys supposedly work in the same industry.
Speaker:And he's the top honcho, but you don't know who he is.
Speaker:There's a top honcho son that's taking over his apart his, like, company.
Speaker:You don't know who that is, but you know who the weakest guy is.
Speaker:That doesn't make any sense at all.
Speaker:Then shut your bitch ass up!
Speaker:Stop looking at me!
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:What do you want?
Speaker:I'm doing all the work!
Speaker:Right, stop looking at me like that!
Speaker:Do you not want to get paid?
Speaker:We can arrange that.
Speaker:If it's a big deal to you.
Speaker:And again, the whole premise of the show is, what?
Speaker:That they can't level up?
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:But then there's a whole thing in there, like, oh, people
Speaker:can actually, uh, reawaken.
Speaker:Okay, well then, guess what?
Speaker:That doesn't make any sense.
Speaker:But it's super rare, though.
Speaker:Okay, it's just as rare as being born into a rich family, but how many
Speaker:rich people are there in this world?
Speaker:Okay, thank you.
Speaker:Yeah, it's 1 percent of the population.
Speaker:But there's still a lot of people.
Speaker:Enough to where you can't just be like, oh, it never happens.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:You don't know what a gate looks like?
Speaker:You work at a gate facility place with the heroes?
Speaker:You don't need a gate?
Speaker:And it's your fucking job.
Speaker:Who are you?
Speaker:What is going on?
Speaker:He could be Wumbo.
Speaker:Well, I guess, I'm not really, I'm not really asking you.
Speaker:Wait, I'm not doing that tomorrow.
Speaker:What's going on?
Speaker:Fire, I guess.
Speaker:This is cool.
Speaker:Ten dollars this isn't as cool as it actually looks.
Speaker:And they ruined it.
Speaker:Ten dollars.
Speaker:Want to take a bet?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:It's a dream.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah, probably something of the past.
Speaker:Probably some memory of his.
Speaker:But here's the issue.
Speaker:They clearly hired a different studio to animate that part.
Speaker:Because that was like some Castlevania dummy cool looking stuff.
Speaker:Yep.
Speaker:And how many people nowadays are just like, Oh, the animation's cool.
Speaker:That's why this is my favorite anime.
Speaker:It's like the pro.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:It's like, now it's Of Jiju Island?
Speaker:That's the I Nicholas, if I ever die in a place called Jiju Island,
Speaker:just tell them it was I died in Nashville eating a hot chicken wing.
Speaker:That would be less embarrassing.
Speaker:White Tigers, isn't that guy trying to be a Power Ranger?
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:We made him wait outside.
Speaker:Is this the same booth you were just in like a few episodes ago?
Speaker:No?
Speaker:It is the exact same, yeah it's the exact same place.
Speaker:He's gonna tell you to go fuck yourself.
Speaker:Bruh,
Speaker:Amazon does way better than that and you guys have alien dungeons?
Speaker:Bruh.
Speaker:I'm that kind of guy.
Speaker:No!
Speaker:Yeah, he said, you're broke.
Speaker:Hey o!
Speaker:Do I have
Speaker:to kill this guy?
Speaker:Wait, is the guy outside controlling him?
Speaker:Why do you know the value of a shopping channel?
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:But it's already 9pm.
Speaker:How am I supposed to do that?
Speaker:Huh?
Speaker:Huh?
Speaker:Wait, what?
Speaker:What?
Speaker:What's up, Harvey Weinstein?
Speaker:Oh!
Speaker:What is going on, bro?
Speaker:What did you just
Speaker:That was a potion.
Speaker:Nah, dawg.
Speaker:I can't close my eyes, open my mouth, and you pour some liquid in there.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:So when does this episode get good?
Speaker:I thought it was halfway through.
Speaker:Oh, he
Speaker:made more gates?
Speaker:How is that possible?
Speaker:How did you know there would be more gates?
Speaker:How is he relieved about this?
Speaker:I'm so confused.
Speaker:Okay, now there's a bunch of sea gates.
Speaker:Did they get rid of all their gates?
Speaker:I don't think so.
Speaker:They only treat three of them, right?
Speaker:Even though they bought up all the rest.
Speaker:They were only going to get three gates and they were going to take the rest.
Speaker:That's what he said.
Speaker:They were supposed to only get three.
Speaker:But now there's so many gates, they didn't need to buy any.
Speaker:So how was that even possible?
Speaker:How would you know that this happens before, bro?
Speaker:And then, of course, the episode ends.
Speaker:Oh, my gosh.
Speaker:So this was like a filler episode.
Speaker:I this episode probably got it done in like one or two scenes where this videos.
Speaker:I know your secret.
Speaker:You do, I'll kill you if you say anything.
Speaker:Okay, then I won't tell anyone.
Speaker:And then that's it.
Speaker:Right, hehehehehehe.
Speaker:That was, that was the important part.
Speaker:Hehehehehe.
Speaker:Did I just waste 20 minutes of my life on this?
Speaker:Oh my god.
Speaker:Ah.
Speaker:Ah.
Speaker:Ah.
Speaker:I'm like watching the end credits hoping something changes, but it won't.
Speaker:It won't change, will it?
Speaker:It will not change anything, DJ.
Speaker:God.
Speaker:Alright guys, well this has been episode 10.
Speaker:Heh heh heh heh.
Speaker:What did you think, DJ?
Speaker:You know,
Speaker:I would say this was a waste of time.
Speaker:That was my initial reaction, but now that I think about it, This wasn't
Speaker:really a waste of time because I wanted to drink this liquid death
Speaker:anyway Right, so only because of the liquid death is it not a waste of time?
Speaker:I mean, yeah, I want I wanted to do this.
Speaker:Anyway, I went to have a drink of water today anyway, so, you know
Speaker:Hey Actually a goal of mine got accomplished so You know, hey you gotta
Speaker:Take the wins No matter how small.
Speaker:Uh, I feel like this, I feel like the actual webcomic this based off, which
Speaker:I have not read and I probably will never will, is probably like really
Speaker:more like 5 episodes long, and they because like most animes come out in
Speaker:like 12 and like 24 episode lengths, they just had to make it 12 somehow.
Speaker:I feel like, um, most of the things that have happened, like that
Speaker:are important could have happened like the first couple of episodes.
Speaker:Well, the thing is, is also like, so there's, there's levels of filler, right?
Speaker:There's filler episodes of anime that have that.
Speaker:Improve the character development of the anime, right?
Speaker:And then there's some filler episodes that just almost have almost nothing to
Speaker:do with the show So this is the reason why people like naruto so much is because
Speaker:naruto's filler episodes Or actually they're kind of good like and I mean
Speaker:like there's a lot of filler but like someone makes you have purposes Yeah a
Speaker:lot of a lot of a lot of the anime like what I'm going to do is watch all the
Speaker:filler and then watch the Series again on the second channel called Louisiana
Speaker:Senpai starring only Nicholas And then you then you'll see all the character.
Speaker:I'll see all the character development See, 'cause I feel like,
Speaker:what was his name?
Speaker:Ky Maru.
Speaker:Mm-Hmm.
Speaker:teacher when he died.
Speaker:Asima.
Speaker:Asima.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:There was a whole filler arc before that happened that, 'cause I honestly,
Speaker:I wasn't really that invested in Asima, but then after this fill arc with him,
Speaker:I was like, dude, Osama was awesome.
Speaker:Osama was great, and then he died.
Speaker:So then when he died.
Speaker:I felt more impacted by it, but even though it was filler
Speaker:it was filler for a reason.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:This filler feels like it's here because I have to make it to 12 episodes.
Speaker:It's a contractual obligation to make 12 episodes.
Speaker:You know what?
Speaker:I think I'm gonna need that scene enhancer for the next one.
Speaker:All right guys, that's it for 7 Senpais.
Speaker:I'm DJ.
Speaker:I'm Nicholas.
Speaker:And we'll see you later.
Speaker:See ya.
