Speaker:What are you doing today, Nicholas?
Speaker:We are going to watch season 2 of Jujutsu Kaisen.
Speaker:We're watching just episode 1.
Speaker:We're not watching the whole season.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:If you want us to watch the whole season, you're gonna have
Speaker:to get through Nicholas first.
Speaker:No, I'm not doing it.
Speaker:Nicholas.
Speaker:I hate this series.
Speaker:I don't like this series at all.
Speaker:Can you tell them why though?
Speaker:You can't just say it.
Speaker:Because one of my favorite animes is Naruto.
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:It's one of my favorite animes.
Speaker:It's um, he seems to be one of the creators here anyways as well.
Speaker:, right?
Speaker:So, um, and I had heard about Juujitsu Kaizen a lot.
Speaker:I had heard that a lot of people really, really like this series.
Speaker:And I was like, you know what?
Speaker:Okay, cool.
Speaker:Um, I'll check it out.
Speaker:And I checked out the first episode and it was literally a carbon.
Speaker:Copy of Naruto from down from the characters to the relationships I mean
Speaker:the to the demon in the chest like yeah, so like the Sake it Sasuke Sakura Naruto.
Speaker:I mean their teacher has white hair and is super power It could not be more of a
Speaker:carbon copy Then Jujutsu Kaisen, and I was like, this, like, screw this series, man.
Speaker:So, why are we watching it today, you guys might be wondering.
Speaker:Well, here's the thing.
Speaker:Turns out a lot of people had, not, well, not the passionate hate that Nicholas
Speaker:has, but, had similar things to say about it, uh, especially the first season.
Speaker:So, then...
Speaker:Apparently, uh, they had a movie.
Speaker:I, so I finished the first season.
Speaker:I thought it was, I didn't think it was as great as some people say it was.
Speaker:I thought the movie was pretty cool though.
Speaker:I liked the movie a lot.
Speaker:So then, um, I had someone that told me like, Oh, the second season is
Speaker:when it's not like Naruto at all.
Speaker:And I was I don't know.
Speaker:So that's why I decided.
Speaker:You know what?
Speaker:I think, I, I do want to give it another shot.
Speaker:Because I've seen the first season, I think it's, I think, I don't, I thought
Speaker:the first season was like, alright.
Speaker:I mean, I didn't think it was fantastic, a lot of people did, but that was alright.
Speaker:I mean, I kind of enjoyed myself.
Speaker:Nicholas didn't like it at all.
Speaker:I saw the movie, and only because I liked the movie.
Speaker:The reason I was gonna give this, uh, second season a try.
Speaker:Alright, so, without further ado, and, you know what?
Speaker:We, we, we're gonna, we're gonna be doing this with no scene enhancements.
Speaker:No scene enhancers.
Speaker:For, for now.
Speaker:For now.
Speaker:Alright.
Speaker:So, um, if you're going to watch along, we are starting at zero, zero, okay?
Speaker:And, uh, and if you're watching with some of the Funimation beginning
Speaker:parts, like all that stuff, we don't.
Speaker:Yeah, we don't do that.
Speaker:We don't have that.
Speaker:We just have the actual episode.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:Uh, can I press play in three, two, one, boom.
Speaker:All right, just a big shadow walking, dude, is that a, okay, no, I thought,
Speaker:I thought it was something else, bro.
Speaker:I ain't going to lie.
Speaker:It was just a long cylinder shadow, phallic symbol, and there was like
Speaker:two like humps things under it.
Speaker:I was like, bro.
Speaker:Pause this season is popping off.
Speaker:What out the front?
Speaker:Oh Okay, here's this game.
Speaker:Oh That's the guy who did the demon stuff.
Speaker:Oh You know what So this this is right after the movie.
Speaker:This is this it's season 2 first episode So this is I heard it's before
Speaker:the movie So yeah, there was the first season and then the movie was
Speaker:right before the first season and then now this is before the movie Gotcha.
Speaker:It's why, it's, it's like, when the white haired guy was a, was a student
Speaker:basically, is what timeline this is.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:What do they taste like?
Speaker:Taste like?
Speaker:Ew.
Speaker:That's gross.
Speaker:Why?
Speaker:Why did you do that?
Speaker:Wait, it's anime, but it's also made to look like it was in the 80s or 90s.
Speaker:That's cool, because like, how else would you show home videos in anime?
Speaker:You would do it like this.
Speaker:That's a very interesting way to do it.
Speaker:I ain't gonna lie, that's kind of cool.
Speaker:Do you imagine how much work it takes to make it look like that?
Speaker:You gotta make it look like regular anime, and then you
Speaker:gotta make it look like it's old.
Speaker:No, I think what they're doing is they just do it however they
Speaker:used to do it back in the day.
Speaker:You know how they treat slaves over there.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Unfortunately, there's a lot of unpaid work in anime,
Speaker:and that's very unfortunate.
Speaker:They have windows.
Speaker:Oh, great shot.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:That's it.
Speaker:That's some nice fan service.
Speaker:You know what?
Speaker:That's the end.
Speaker:The season's getting better and better!
Speaker:I might change my mind about Jujutsu Kaisen!
Speaker:You know what this animation reminds me of?
Speaker:This animation reminds me of, uh, the Digimon movie.
Speaker:I think everything reminds you of the Digimon movie.
Speaker:I think you have a serious problem.
Speaker:Which is crazy, because it's like 23 years apart.
Speaker:I think that you just like the Digimon movie, and you project
Speaker:it on everything that you see.
Speaker:It could be the
Speaker:case.
Speaker:Black people don't, don't do that.
Speaker:What have you ever seen a black jujitsu sorcerer do a veil?
Speaker:That's right.
Speaker:You haven't seen a black jujitsu sorcerer.
Speaker:Cuz you haven't seen a black jujitsu sorcerer.
Speaker:Well, actually there was a black bad guy in the first one, in the first season.
Speaker:There's like, he has like a beret on though.
Speaker:So I think he's French.
Speaker:So that doesn't really count.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:French people don't count as people, just in general.
Speaker:You better watch out or they're going to do a civil war.
Speaker:Oh no, they might sit on their chairs and smoke cigarettes.
Speaker:To be fair, they also really hate Americans.
Speaker:So, oh, the feeling is mutual then.
Speaker:Have you ever been to France?
Speaker:No.
Speaker:I got to say, as someone who's been a nigga in Paris.
Speaker:I heard it stinks.
Speaker:Well, I mean and it looks trash.
Speaker:There is a lot of rats there I will say that much like I'd
Speaker:like I started this smell.
Speaker:It's kind of like it's not like Hollywood Boulevard Or like town
Speaker:Times Square like you think it's gonna be great or like Bourbon Street.
Speaker:Yeah, it's just it's great If you're also drunk, but if you're not it's horrible.
Speaker:I Want to you know who I want to be I want to be the person who And I'm gonna save
Speaker:a lot of anime voice actors like white.
Speaker:I guarantee you they were . I guarantee you they would be.
Speaker:You wanna be white?
Speaker:No.
Speaker:I guarantee you they would pay me for this.
Speaker:I'm the guy who goes, what?
Speaker:I would save them 20 hours of time by just doing that.
Speaker:So she just did it.
Speaker:I love how it has Monica, the little twinkle in eye.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Mm mm mm mm
Speaker:Oh, is that a noose?
Speaker:Man, that's racist!
Speaker:I mean, I wasn't gonna say that, but what I was gonna say is...
Speaker:I mean, there's not even anyone in it, you know what I mean?
Speaker:Like...
Speaker:But actually to be fair, every time I see a noose, it does remind me of that joke.
Speaker:I was just about to say that joke that that guy told you.
Speaker:Yeah, I'm not gonna say that.
Speaker:I'm from the South, obviously it's called Southern Sempais.
Speaker:And I met this dude in high school, and it was the first time of me meeting him.
Speaker:And he said a joke to me that I will not repeat on this podcast.
Speaker:Why not?
Speaker:I mean, well I guess there's no bad words in it.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:We're supposed to be doing commentary on the...
Speaker:I'll tell a joke a different time.
Speaker:And it's not really a joke, it's really offensive.
Speaker:It's super racist.
Speaker:They animated that part really well for like no reason.
Speaker:All she did was stick her hands in the air and run out.
Speaker:Are
Speaker:you gonna have sex with her?
Speaker:Did you?
Speaker:What?
Speaker:Girls with
Speaker:white hair are just another level of hotness.
Speaker:Is that, do you think that's like, so, if you could, if you, if you, could
Speaker:design one, you know, you're a manga artist, and you want to create the
Speaker:asterisk, she's going to have white hair?
Speaker:Probably.
Speaker:What about, uh, what about blue?
Speaker:You like blue?
Speaker:Or is white still, like, the white hair is the way to go?
Speaker:And is it silver or is it white?
Speaker:Because I think hers is kind of like silver looking.
Speaker:Silver, yeah.
Speaker:Kind of silver.
Speaker:It kind of portrays Psycho.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Oh, the long corridor thing.
Speaker:Hmm.
Speaker:You know what that kind of reminds me of?
Speaker:What?
Speaker:You're gonna think this is stupid, but that kind of reminds, wasn't there
Speaker:that, that, that frog jutsu in Naruto?
Speaker:Yeah!
Speaker:Hahahahaha!
Speaker:Oh, my gosh, go
Speaker:with guns.
Speaker:I know you didn't see the movie, but the bad guy wins by
Speaker:shooting someone with a gun.
Speaker:Like everyone is using all these powers throughout the whole movie and
Speaker:like throughout the series, right?
Speaker:The bad guy literally pulls out a 22 gauge, shoots the victim,
Speaker:and then it's like, okay, I won because I just shot him in the face.
Speaker:I'm being serious.
Speaker:That's how, that's how the, that's how the movie, and that's like how one of
Speaker:the bad, like, so one of the good guys That's how he turns into a bad guy.
Speaker:Because the other bad guy just won by shooting someone in the face So
Speaker:he's like, if you just shoot someone in the face, why am I a good person?
Speaker:That's crazy That's what made me like that movie, I was like, oh But I,
Speaker:he's like, all the, all this anime bullshit, fuck that, I have a gun!
Speaker:Then at some point what?
Speaker:What's that face?
Speaker:Who is this person?
Speaker:Oh wait, you know what?
Speaker:I don't think that was the movie I saw that did that.
Speaker:I think, I think, I think, I think it was a YouTube video I saw that did that.
Speaker:The movie, the movie didn't have that.
Speaker:It was a YouTube video I saw that did that.
Speaker:So actually I'm not really sure what episode that done that.
Speaker:So you just lied.
Speaker:Yeah, yeah, my brain does that a lot.
Speaker:The house evaporates it couldn't extend it
Speaker:the house is already done.
Speaker:Oh He oh, he did it.
Speaker:Okay, that makes sense
Speaker:Oh, this is the opening credits yo, dude, that was the That was like the
Speaker:first half of the of the Opening credits
Speaker:Yeah, you know what, I'm really sure now, not remembering the movie, that gun
Speaker:thing was just a YouTube video I saw.
Speaker:All credibility just gone.
Speaker:I mean, yeah.
Speaker:I'm usually drunk during this, so maybe if I drink again,
Speaker:my credibility will increase.
Speaker:What is your opinion of this theme song opening?
Speaker:I think that it looks really cool.
Speaker:No, I The, the actual song.
Speaker:Bro.
Speaker:I'm afraid, would you?
Speaker:I, this would not even make my memory.
Speaker:This song, like, like, this is not one of my top anime songs.

Speaker:But Tengen asked for you specifically.
Speaker:Your mission has two goals.
Speaker:The Star Plasma Vessel is the one compatible with Tengen.
Speaker:Huh?
Speaker:You are to escort that girl.
Speaker:And a racer.
Speaker:He asked for some bread and then a racer?!
Speaker:That's right.
Speaker:He's finally gonna see now.
Speaker:It is spring.
Speaker:His head's probably full with being the next principal.
Speaker:All jokes aside though, I didn't sound like a joke to you.
Speaker:Is this about renewing Tengen's technique?
Speaker:Hm?
Speaker:What's that?
Speaker:What possesses the cursed technique of immortality.
Speaker:Oh wow.
Speaker:Not a problem.
Speaker:You'll cease to be human and become a higher form of existence.
Speaker:What's so bad about that?
Speaker:Sounds sweet.
Speaker:According to tending, those who reach that state of being no longer have
Speaker:any free will, it means that tending would cease to be tending any longer.
Speaker:All the jujitsu schools, the barriers that form the foundation of jujitsu
Speaker:society, the many barrier techniques of the assistant supervisors,

Speaker:I'm gonna, I'm gonna just call it This season is officially
Speaker:better than the first one.
Speaker:Any mention of Digimon automakes, automakes Oh, automatically.
Speaker:Makes it better, yeah.
Speaker:I was like, did they just mention Digimon?
Speaker:Aren't these the two most powerful people in the show?
Speaker:And they're just like walking around like a couple of bums.
Speaker:. Yeah.
Speaker:The star plasma vessel and impurity in their minds to
Speaker:blend into him is unforgivable.
Speaker:The star religious group is made up of non sorcerers.

Speaker:Any mind wants to be wary of or definite.
Speaker:Q Oh Q.
Speaker:The Q anon.
Speaker:. That's getting really good.

Speaker:Imagine a world, like, It's so funny, like, anime has so many powerful
Speaker:people, All across it, And they always get beat up by high schoolers.
Speaker:Yeah, you know, that's crazy.
Speaker:You have these grown people, Who have been training their whole lives, And

Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Ah, that's pretty cool.
Speaker:Fushiguro.

Speaker:the kids from the first season?
Speaker:Probably.
Speaker:Uh, well, uh, what do you think, Nicholas?
Speaker:Uh, to me personally, I don't think they're all that much.
Speaker:Uh, I think it's better than the first season, based on a couple of factors.
Speaker:Digimon!
Speaker:Digimon being one of them.
Speaker:The second factor is black guy haircut.
Speaker:I'm always into that.
Speaker:I'm always into that.
Speaker:Um, there's, uh...
Speaker:I also like the, I like the old school animation style.
Speaker:It, it's...
Speaker:That was unique.
Speaker:I'm, I'm, I'm gonna give it a chance.
Speaker:I ain't gonna lie.
Speaker:I'm gonna give it a chance.
Speaker:Yeah, I'm not, so.
Speaker:Yeah, but doesn't really matter what you think.
Speaker:Doesn't.
Speaker:It doesn't really matter what you think.
Speaker:If you guys really watch this download a lot, then I guess I
Speaker:won't have a choice, but, you know.
