Yeah, you know.
Having finished the game now Ican definitely safely say it's
game of the year.
That was my favorite game ofthe year this year.

Maurice (02:51):
So damn good Story, music, characters, even the game
style.

Jordan (02:56):
They did win best RPG, though.

Maurice (02:59):
RPG and narrative.

Yes, and they played the battle music with the monks.
Hey, bro, the monks are here,the monks.
The monks are here to stay.
They're in our hearts.
Um yeah, but the awards weren'tthat interesting.
Astrobots swept up a bunch, uh.
Balatro swept up a bunch, whichwas an indie game, uh, that

(03:25):
released uh this year.
Uh, who else got some goodstuff?
I think fifa 25 won um bestsports game okay, yeah, yeah
nothing luxurious or anything,just the best sports game.
But the meat and potatoes of theevening was with all the
announcements, and there werequite a few that stirred the pot

(03:48):
.
You know, it's kind of gottagot the what happened?

Maurice (03:52):
because I um I missed out on a good chunk of the game
awards.
I came near like the um nearlike the middle and end bit, so
I know there was a lot of umannouncements that I ended up
missing there were quite a few,um, some of the standouts
immediately uh, borderlands, 4people uh, and very interested

(04:15):
in that.

Jordan (04:16):
That got a good reception.
Um, it was a hell.
Divers update, adding in aliensI saw.

pick up the mantle but hisdaughter?

Maurice (05:30):
She won't kill that.

Jordan (05:31):
Yeah, and this will be a trend for the game awards for
the night, because the primeannouncement of the evening was
Intergalactic, which is NaughtyDog's new game, and it's led by
a female lead.
Can't remember her name, butit's the sexy ball-headed chick
from Sabrina.

Maurice (05:50):
That's crazy.

Jordan (05:51):
Oh my goodness, I love her, but like the Cirilla stuff,
you know what do you call them?
Oh, the neckbeards, theneckbeards.
The neckbeards are crying,talking about how women
protagonists are just maleprotagonist, skins and blah.
Whatever, you want to complainabout the game hasn't even

I was doing dishes.
I caught it on Facebook.
Somebody said Elden Ring sequeland I'm like I didn't know that

(06:54):

So I looked it back up, watchedthe trailer.
I didn't understand what theywere showing us, but essentially
, it was new shit.

Maurice (07:03):
I essentially it was new shit.

Jordan (07:08):
I just knew it was new shit and the first thing I saw
was somebody sprinting andmantling a wall.
Now in my mind, I'm like youput in full sprint, mantling and
Elden.

Same For the same reason.
I haven't watched Fairytale ina while Wait a minute, what you

punch things.
That's valid, okay, I glance upat boobies every once in a
while.
Everybody needs a little fairytale in their life.

Tanisha love fairy tale too.
Yes, I feel you, tanisha.
Shout out, shout out Fairy talegang man.

Who's your favorite characteranyway?

Maurice (27:33):
one piece pretty much just going over a fact on the
anime that's on hiatus,returning and um some key visual
arts that they showed off.

Jordan (27:44):
Not going to lie, bro.
Also, buddy made someannouncements at Jump Festa.
He always leaves a statement atJump Festa.
He said he's going to be makinga move this year.
Bro, he said the same thinglast year.
You know what happened.
He ain't moved, no, no.

Maurice (28:03):
He said the same thing last year.
You know what?

Jordan (28:04):

He ain't move.
No, no, jake's beat up kid.
Now, who you think he is thistime?
Who you think beating up whothis time?
My, you know where my money'sat, my money, my money Is on
Dragon.

Maurice (28:23):
You mean to say Dragon will finally move from um
looking east?
I think he will, bro, I thinkhe will I don't know, man, if he
, if he didn't move from eastwhen, um, when luffy, when ace
was up over there, I don't knowwhat's gonna stop him, what's
gonna actually make him move.
But he said though, he ain'tmoving.
Kuma was out there.

(28:43):
Just I don't know man.

Jordan (28:45):
Hey, bro, he had said he had said he was like hey, when
them gods nights start rollingout, bro, we gotta bust some
moves.
So I'm just saying we're goingto bust some moves soon, because
who's stopping?

Maurice (28:56):
that's all I'm saying ah, look man, I don't know
dragon.
Dragon got a lot to do.

Jordan (29:04):
This is going to be a fun year for One Piece bro.
Either that or Blackbeard'sjust going to start beating
people up too.

Maurice (29:11):
Nah, we don't need that .

Jordan (29:12):
Nobody wants that bro.
That fat man's getting a swellhead, that dude getting a swell
head.
Bro, he got a few good Ws andnow and now he's just like yeah,
I'm unstoppable, you'repunching the face, so I need to
hit him.
Bro, I hit him, hit him.
Law couldn't hit him hardenough.

(29:34):
Somebody need to punch him inone of those charlos punches,
bro law is always um laws,always hold the law, is always
owed.

Maurice (29:43):
Yeah that's fair.
This is the same guy who waslucky enough to survive two
onslaughts from Dofie.
He should not have lived any ofthat shit.

Jordan (29:54):
Also very fair.
He did also lose an arm.

Maurice (29:58):
He lost an arm.
He got shot multiple times withC-prison bullets, bro.
How you live in this Pointblank bro.
It wasn't as if he was farPoint blank Gun aimed down.
Bang bro.
He shouldn't have lived it.
Law's cool, I like law, but heshouldn't have lived that.
He should not have lived itthat nigga unloaded like three

(30:20):
whole ass clips in that nigga.

Jordan (30:26):
Are you alive?
He's a doctor, bro.
Being a doctor ain't gonna helpthat Yo, I can't, I'm weak.
Yo chill out, Chill out, chillout, chill out, chill out.
So all of that shit From JumpFesta we also got.

(30:49):
Well, it's not Jump Festarelated, but you know.

Maurice (30:52):
I mean, it was a tentatively announced In Jump
Festa one of them.
But the JJK thing was.

Jordan (30:58):
That's because you know they kind of came out around the
same time.

Maurice (31:01):
The other one was I think it was October or November
, might have been November.

Jordan (31:05):
I think it was october or november, might have been
november, right yeah, it waspretty close to when I dropped
yeah, yeah, but anyway, beatingaround the bush, two new endings
dropped, jjk and my hero gave acouple of new ep, a couple of
new pages at least 16 pages forjjk and uh.

Maurice (31:23):
My Hero just dropped a different chapter altogether.

Jordan (31:28):
I would feel weirdly inclined to call my Hero some
kind of weird retcon, but Iwould say JJK was like an
epilogue more than anything else.
Here's the rest of the stuffthat happened, whereas my Hero
was like since y'all need us tospell it out for you, here you
go.
Here.
Hold this here and put it inyour pocket.

Maurice (31:52):
People are still upset.

Jordan (31:56):
To be fair, to be fair, to be fair and also to be fair.
Handshakes are very intimate inother cultures, hey that is
fair.

Maurice (32:08):
Me personally, horikoshi, the lucky Horikoshi
Went with it.
I would have just said Fuck itbro, you just you got what you
got In that last chapter.

Jordan (32:15):
You should have just Made him hug bro.

Maurice (32:19):
Nah, he was like saying Nah, they're gonna hold hands.

Jordan (32:22):
It wasn't even like Hold hands like you walk And're
gonna hold hands.
It wasn't even like hold handslike you walking.
It was hold hands like youdapping, like oh.

Maurice (32:27):
Not even dapping.
You were shaking your.
You were shaking an associate'shand.

Jordan (32:32):
I thought it was the.

Maurice (32:35):
It probably could be dapping, you know.

Jordan (32:36):
Whatever the hell it was , bro Point is it very much gave
.
We're solid, we're locked in.

Maurice (32:43):
You tucked in there, I'm tucked in.
I'm tucked in, I'm tucked in,I'm tucked in.
But it was, even with that,still there.
It was still kind of likepretty cool fun chapter Because
you got to see all the rest ofthe other people.
I know that was another biggripe from the previous ending.
A lot of people was like sayinghey, where's a whole bunch of

(33:04):
the other people, how, how'severybody else looking?
Because we really didn't seeall that much.
But this one at least took alittle bit deeper dive in the
other characters, but also, Iguess, pretty much highlighting
how Hero Society currently istreading, which was, you know,
interesting.

Jordan (33:23):
All in all, pretty much highlighting how Hero Society
currently is treading, which wasinteresting all in all, this
man literally saved the world,and it's kind of funny to think
about it in retrospect, to thinkabout the fact that one for all
, all for one I always mix thatjoint up, the thing about the

(33:44):
fact that all for one wassingle-handedly holding villainy
up by its collar yeah Yo, evilfor the sake of being evil.

Maurice (33:55):
He's going to spend the whole world on his axes.
Flip the whole thing, bro,apparently.

Jordan (34:01):
Action shook the whole planet.
Bro, Take him out and then youjust go to like normal life.

Maurice (34:09):
There's no villain, there's no villainy over here.

Jordan (34:13):
The villainy went down so damn bad.
You have to change how you rankpeople now, Bro a whole new
system had to be introduced.

Maurice (34:21):
That's so crazy.
And then, like the one timewhen they went to go spring
together to help out, it wasjust a nigga who just lost
control.

Jordan (34:30):
One man wrecking crew bro.
It was terrifying.

Maurice (34:33):
Oh man.

Jordan (34:34):
So well done, though he did his thing.
Who's your favorite hero design?

Maurice (34:43):
Hmm, what's what's home Um Buddy's name?
Who is um Eraser's Student?

Jordan (34:54):
Shinzo.

Maurice (34:55):
Shinzo.

Jordan (34:56):
His was, his was pretty fire bro Shinzo had a nice one.
His was pretty fire, mine wasum.
What's his name?
Dude in the suit?

Maurice (35:05):
Oh, phantom Thief.

Jordan (35:06):
Phantom Thief bro Still the Mine was.

Maurice (35:07):
What's his name?
Dude in the suit?
Oh, phantom Thief.
Phantom Thief, bro.
Still the coldest ass line, bro.
Coldest ass, not even lyingcoldest ass name.
It is a cold name.
Nigga played Persona so manytimes he was just like saying
fuck it.
I want that.
I want that to be my hero.

Jordan (35:21):
Bro his line to offer one too in the last part, when
he teleported everybody.
That joke was cold too.
He said hey, I'm pulling thestrings, bro, you showed up to
the wrong party.

Maurice (35:36):
Bro Momo was on some stuff.
Momo was nice.

Jordan (35:40):
Also, I don't know if this was him like breaking
people's hearts or whatever, butjiro jiro jiro and um dinky
jiro's the one with the earright yeah yeah, jiro and dinky.
They're not together, but theywork next door to each other.

Maurice (36:00):
Other be like all right , all right bro.

Jordan (36:07):
All right bro, we're here, we're here I don't gotta
lie man.
Come on now it wasn't mad,though, very, very cutesy ending
, yeah, and so like pretty, it'spretty right.

Maurice (36:18):
It was like nothing really groundbreaking or
anything too crazy was revealedthat's why I felt wrecked connie
.

Jordan (36:23):
It just felt like he was like fine, whatever here.

Maurice (36:28):
That's pretty much how it felt Like.
When I heard that it was goingto do a chapter for the volume,
I was like, oh okay.
And then I read it and I'm justlike yeah, no, this definitely
just felt like something he justsaid, like here Get out of my
face.

Jordan (36:47):
Shut up, just feel like something he just said like here
get out of my face.

Maurice (36:49):
Shut up, I'm done with this now, bro.
Uh, he's already talking, too,about um coming back to write
something oh, for real, yeah, Ithought he was sick.
I thought that's why theyrushed this well, anyway, he's
hyped to go do a new story damnbastards to go do a new story.

Jordan (37:04):
Damn bastards, I swear Animals.

Maurice (37:10):
Absolute animals bro I'm here for whatever Mark, what
you're going to do, thoughHopefully it's not a horror.
Please give me a horror, orlike at least something dark.

Jordan (37:18):
Draw some gore man.

Maurice (37:20):
Bro for real.

Jordan (37:22):
Some body mutilation.
You're really good at it.

Maurice (37:26):
It's kind of weird but you're really good at it.

Jordan (37:29):
It's kind of weird, but you're really good at it.
Why so good at that, I don'tknow.
Bro, like you might, attentionto detail you need to draw the
kind of body disfiguration thisman was drawing for all for one,
bro I feel really bad formiracle bro, like how many more
limbs she gonna lose over here,nigga, all those fingers on
sugar.
Rocky bro, like who you said.
I know it was probably yourassistants who sat there and

(37:49):
like did all the shading andstuff, but you, you, that came
out of your brain you're areally sick guy, man you, you
put that on paper, you put thaton paper and say shade that but
yeah nah be'm hyped to see whatthe next thing will be, though.
Yes.

Maurice (38:08):
JJK though.

Jordan (38:12):
People still somehow Find a way to complain.
Bro, I don't get it.

Maurice (38:17):
At this point, regardless of whatever it is or
whatever People are just goingto complain about it anyway.
There's no winning it.

Jordan (38:28):
But I find that it was pretty neat.
I think a few things I reallywanted to see.
But they didn't.
Yeah, for instance, how did itgo?
It started out with.
It started out with Yuji.
I think it started out withYuji.

(38:51):
Yeah, it did.
It started out with Yujimeeting.
The chubby chick from school.

Maurice (38:55):
Yeah, I think that was.
That happened Sometime beforethe final, before the final
battle Took place In Shinjuku,so Some of them like no, no, no,
it was after final, before thefinal battle took place in
Shinjuku.

Jordan (39:06):
So some of them like no, no, no, it was after.
I thought I said before it wasafter, because she was talking
about the scars he got in thefight.

Maurice (39:13):
Okay, got it Alright.
So, yeah, alright, I'm bad, I'mjust.

Jordan (39:17):
Yeah, but like and it it .
I feel like it goes to show howshort a time the story spanned
over, cause it really wasn'tthat long that he became a
sorcerer.
Cause.
It wasn't like, oh, it's beenyears Since I've seen you,
eugene.
No, it was like how you doingAll these new scars I just saw

(39:39):
you the other day Basically likewhat the fuck?
What's going on?

Maurice (39:41):
Yeah, I think that's the crazy part Is like Him as a
sorcerer.
Yeah, it's like definitely Likea couple of months From when
From when he last left Schooland whatnot, normacy To Be a
jujitsu sorcerer, but when hesaw her though Cause that was,
they last saw each other Beforethe culling game starts.

(40:02):
So when they see up when they,they last saw each other before
the Culling game starts.
So when they see up, when theythen meet up again and whatnot,
it's like damn, probably had tohave been like what a week at
most.

Jordan (40:12):
That was more than that.
I think it was more than thatProbably because the Culling
game went on for a little bit,though, because, remember, they
took the break for Christmas hadto be a few months, because it
took the break to wait to fightSukuna, and she didn't see him

(40:32):
until after that.

Maurice (40:34):
Oh yeah, that's right, it might have been.
I don't know how long it was,but it might have been a couple
of weeks from when Aiden went togo't um went to go fight um
sequin because it definitely wasI don't think it was like a
month or anything like that,probably just like a couple of
weeks, just uh, everybody getyour together but like that was

(40:56):
a cool little thing.

Jordan (40:57):
He goes back to clean out grandpa's place.
She's going back to take careof her mom, so they kind of link
up in like this weird, likeneat, cute of way, kind of
giving him this human happyending.
I don't hate it.

Maurice (41:09):
Give my boy happiness.
He deserves it.

Jordan (41:12):
And we get to see Panda.

Maurice (41:14):
Kind of sort of.

Jordan (41:16):
You know people gripe about this and I think this tied
up one of the plot lines thatneeded to be tied up that had
nothing to do with panda to meand had everything to do with
the setup of the cursed corpse,being three things and why panda
broke down, or why panda nevercame back, because people were

(41:38):
complaining that well, panda didthis and then panda never
showed back up again.
He just abandoned Panda.
He didn't explain it.
That explains it.
The two other souls inside ofhim sacrificed themselves, broke
the balance of the cursedcorpse, so Panda couldn't
function anymore.

Maurice (41:54):
He's not in a fighting sense like how he was before.
Not to mention too, he alsomissed out on his creator too.

Jordan (42:03):
High key.
It was twofold, because you getto see the Zenin babies.
Yes, it's funny as hell.
Because they don't even tellyou that the babies are Zenin.

Speaker 3 (42:15):
They tell you that the babies oh, these are
Okotsu's grandchildren.

Jordan (42:20):
He took over the Gojo clan.
You look at the kids and you'relike Toji.

Maurice (42:23):
Especially that boy Maki, what I thought he said a
coach.
That's funny.
No burrs mom.

Jordan (42:36):
Like it wasn't obvious they were going to wind up
together, bro, nah, yeah, yeah,yeah, come on.

Maurice (42:40):
Nah, that was, that's a power couple man, that's a
power couple man, that's a powercouple bro.
I'd be upset at Gage if theydidn't.

Jordan (42:48):
That's a fact.
Of course I'd yeah Best girl,other best boy.
I like it.
Nobor is mom.

Maurice (42:57):
Mm-hmm.

Jordan (42:58):
That bitch.

Maurice (42:58):
Interesting character.

Jordan (43:00):
Is she?

Maurice (43:01):
I mean I'm I'm interested in in, like hmm.

Jordan (43:05):
I think this is the part that I could have lived without
.
I'm not going to lie to you.

Maurice (43:12):
When I was reading it I was kind of like, okay, that is
interesting, because even inthe note that she received, it
was like saying oh yeah, here'sthe details about your mom.
I mean, I guess we did closeout that plot point though, but
it really didn't need to be apoint.

Jordan (43:30):
I guess it kind of like neatly wraps up Nobra's
storyline because then that washer main internal conflict, like
her conflict with her mom?

Maurice (43:39):
I guess so, but like who actually cared about that
Exactly?
It wasn't even a main Focusthing on her At least Showing in
, showing in the series.

Jordan (43:51):
It was more so like a Care for the character Kind of
thing.

Maurice (43:53):
Exactly.

Jordan (43:55):
He kind of owes it to her though, cause Kind of.

Maurice (43:59):
Yeah, now after, after the shit that he pulls.
I guess Gege did owe this toher, so he did dump her For like
half the series.
Nobra gets a point.

Jordan (44:10):
Nobra survives.
He definitely dumped her.

Maurice (44:16):
Plus, she actually won that encounter too, so she's two
for two.

Jordan (44:19):
That is true.
Put her up, bro.
It's crazy.
Just straight up told it'scrazy.
Called grad.
Just straight up told she saiduh-huh, this bitch right here.
It's crazy.
You haven't changed one.
Grandma Snitched on her, bro.
I love that.
That was awesome.

(44:40):
That was nice.
Little neat, though, and thenwhat was the last one?
I don't even remember what thelast one was.
I thought that was the lastthing.

Maurice (44:48):
Sukuna.

Jordan (44:49):
Oh yeah, Sukuna in the fridge.
Sukuna in the fridge.
That's funny.
I feel like this was alsodefinitely necessary too,
because Urami came out ofnowhere.
Yeah, I mean Just there theyjust showed up.

Maurice (45:04):
You didn't know anything else about them.

Jordan (45:06):
It it doesn't help that rami really doesn't talk like it
didn't help that ghetto poppedup at the end of shibuya.
They're like, oh, you want meto save you, mahi-to.
And they're like, nah, get up.

Maurice (45:22):
Who are you?
What the fuck?
Is going on.
Something to flesh out thecharacter or something.

Jordan (45:29):
Interesting.

Maurice (45:30):
I'll never say no to fleshing out a character.

Jordan (45:33):
Yeah, I think, besides that, that was really nice to
see Sukuna bonding with somebodywho he regarded as strong.
The kid was like the onlysurvivor.
He's laying on a pile of deadbodies, his ability.
People can't be around himwithout like dying from his cold

(45:53):
ability, and Sukuna is the onlyone who can.
So it's like a match made inheaven and he finds another soul
who he can bond with.
It really shows the human sideof Sukuna, which is why.
Which is why at the end, when hepassed on, he had the option to
go and with the person yeahyorizu, who was the temptation,

(46:14):
the demon, whatever, or he couldgo with uraume, who was the
representation of his human side.
So kind of puts a little bit ofextra emphasis on that.
But more important than all ofthat, I think the afterthoughts
for Gege Kind of crazy.
A lot of self-reflection, dude,was it?

Maurice (46:36):
Send me the afterthoughts I didn't even get
to follow.
I didn't check them.

Jordan (46:40):
I'll send them to you.
But to paraphrase, he admittedthat he kind of started to lose
himself in the work a little bitLike, and lost his way in the
story at certain points, andbasically saying that any kind
of inconsistencies that poppedup were.

Maurice (47:03):
Drawn out from.

Jordan (47:04):
Related to that part of his self doubt and all that
stuff related to his work andthe way the material he was
putting out so kind of made mefeel bad for the guy, because
catching a lot of flack for theending and the ending does feel
a little bit rushed.
But I think he lost I don't sayhe lost faith in the product,

(47:28):
but you know how when youworking on something for a long
time, mm-hmm almost.
You know it's almost done,you're at the finish line, but
it's also just not your mainfocus yeah you're ready to go to
the next thing, you're excitedabout the next thing, you're
excited about something else,but you have to finish this

(47:49):
thing Almost kind of the samevibe I got from JJK towards the
end.
So it's like for him to moveforward.
I think he kind of startedletting that joint go.
So hopefully he takes what helearned from this joint and
brings it to the next work,cause he does say he's excited

(48:13):
about working on other stuff.

Maurice (48:14):
So that's good.

Jordan (48:15):
Yeah.

Maurice (48:16):
That's why I give it to um creators who um dealing with
something for like a long timeor so and a lot of these stories
.
When you're watching, obviously, anime and stuff like that, it
looks real quick, it's fairlyquick Kind of sort of Animation
is long, it takes a long asstime to do, but that's not the

(48:39):
point Seeing a creator be withthat project or that piece for
like a long, like years on end.
It's a whole lot and whatnot.
Sometimes, like you said,you're probably like looking to
get onto like the next thing,want to jump on that.
It's easier.
It's easy to get lost up in itand to where just like saying,

(49:00):
all right, how are you going toend it, how you do this, this,
that and the fourth.
So a lot of stress with it butalso you know I get that, I feel
that, respect that Because it'sshit hard and when you think
about it you know, trying tofind a balance on how you would

(49:21):
want to go with it could bedraining or could, you know,
take a whole lot out.
So I you would want to go with.

Jordan (49:25):
It could be draining or, you know, take a whole lot out
so I I don't want to put like acompletely negative spin on what
he said, but he was verygrateful for the experience.
He was very grateful to thepeople around him who up and
created, and he's very proud ofhis work.

Maurice (49:38):
Don't get me wrong hey, merrill, you made it yeah,
don't get me wrong lord knows,shonen jump is quick to axe
anything.

Jordan (49:46):
Yeah, and this has been their little love child, so he
was their little baby.
Now you got to move over.
Because there's new babies intown.

Maurice (49:56):
I'm sorry, let me relax , relax, let me relax, let me
relax, let me relax.
Then there's, like the90-year-old man still over there
.

Jordan (50:05):
I'm sorry, did you see?
It Kisanis.

Lots of good stuff, though.

Maurice (51:11):
It has been a crazy year.

Jordan (51:13):
Music was wild, gaming was high, anime and manga were
wild Bro.

Maurice (51:21):
I got a couple of stuff that I had picked up on.
It's good.

Jordan (51:27):
Oh yeah, how do you feel ?
What do you want?
To start with Manga Anime.

You want to start with manga and anime.

Maurice (51:38):
Yeah.

Jordan (51:41):
What you got for this year, bro.
What's your afterthoughts?
Let me stop my afterthoughts.

Maurice (51:49):
It's been a good year, like you said, both anime and
manga.
A lot of stuff got to beadapted.
Other stuff came out.
We did lose some stuff formanga that ended up just getting
axed and stuff.
I think this has been a yearwhere a lot of stuff had
actually ended up ending or like, or at least on their final

(52:12):
stage, or stuff with them.

Jordan (52:13):
Changing of the guard kind of situation?

Maurice (52:15):
Yeah, yeah, oni no Koi, oshi no Koi.

Jordan (52:19):
That ended.

Maurice (52:21):
I think it's in its like last stages.
So that should be ending soon.
Damn, same thing, I think.

Speaker 3 (52:27):
ended, I think it's in this like last stages, so
that should be in there soon.

Jordan (52:30):
Damn same thing, I think too, for uh, love is war, love
is wrong, love is wrong.

Maurice (52:32):
Let me stop you already know, shonen, they dropped um,
they done with my hero and jjknow yeah damn son still looking
for a really good replacement.

Jordan (52:47):
So far, the two I picked up are Don, don Don and Kagura
Bachi.

Maurice (52:54):
Who knows which stage Don Don Don is on Did you find
your replacements.

Jordan (53:00):

Maurice (53:10):
JJK is gone.
Replacements.
Yet what your replacements in?

Jordan (53:13):

Jjk's gone, dandanon.
Thank god that updates mondaysuh start your work week, nice
right.
Yeah, still haven't readtoday's chapter.

Maurice (53:18):
I don't think today's chapter drop yeah, or kagura
bachi.

Jordan (53:21):
I haven't read either today.
I'm about to get up as soon aswe done recording.
What?
Don't play with me, I will hurtmyself.

Maurice (53:29):
I looked at it earlier today because I thought that I
would have had some chapters,but yes, there's nothing there,
bro.

Jordan (53:35):
Four days.

Maurice (53:36):
Yeah, that's so far.
It is Four days Friday no.
No no, no, what day is today?
Today's monday, that's a friday.
Damn oh, we going way back.

Jordan (53:51):
Drops on fridays sunday released up, you think we get a
new release schedule for the newyear probably not.

Maurice (53:56):
Maybe this is just a special yo don't play on me bro
I hate.
I wouldn't mind having to seeyou know good stuff on Fridays.
I'll start the start theweekend off, right.
That is weird, though.
I wonder what's up with that.
Hey, I'm not gonna question it.
At least this Friday we gotsome uh stuff dropping um oh,

(54:23):
ichi the Witch, did it stick foryou.
I'm in a weird spot with it.
It did stick.
I do like it.
I enjoy it because he does aninteresting spin on it.

Jordan (54:35):
Does it get more serious ?
Felt a little play, play for me, I'm not going to hold you.

Maurice (54:38):
I still think that right now we're in like the play
play stages, which is like whatabout nine chapters?

Jordan (54:45):
or like 14, no 14, yeah, I think we're double digits now
.

Maurice (54:52):
But the last thing that I saw, 16 16.
Okay, the last thing I saw was,uh, introduction to potentially
a interesting villain, becausethey showed off what they showed
off the effects that he leavesand effects is crazy.

Jordan (55:12):
Consequential.

Maurice (55:14):
Oh, like bro is.
Bro apparently got like a dofyzone, birdcage type thing.
He summons like these freakingreapers and the reapers just
whatever they spew on, just likeum fucks up the land Like it
turns like inside out, so tospeak.
And this is like on both theland.

(55:34):
People got like villages gothit with this shit.
They show like stuff like that.
So interesting because this hasbeen like the most threatening,
um, because this has been likethe most threatening villain
that we saw.
I'm saying villain, though, butat least the threatening
encounter that we saw right now,because most of this stuff has
been, you know, pretty, allright, pretty light.

(56:01):
So I see that we potentiallycould be getting a little bit
serious or at least going intoan actual arc, because I think
no, I was like saying I thinklike introductory, like light
stuff could be coming to an endor at least should be easing off
before something actuallyserious starts.

Jordan (56:16):
Okay, anything else From the manga scene, any other
interesting things that you'vebeen reading?

Maurice (56:24):
Kagura Baji the plug the ant, I mean the plant.
Called it, though from themagazine any other interesting
things that you've been readingkagura bachi, the plug the ant,
I mean the plant called it theplug.

Jordan (56:30):
You were right the first time.
You were so right the firsttime, because that is gas no,
and I got a watch.

Maurice (56:36):
He's good.
I'm enjoying that, or already,apparently that's like got an
anime in production, I don'tknow how.
Like the fuck.

Jordan (56:46):
Takaru Hokozono Remember that name?
This man can write a story.
This shit is going to bebananas.
Get ready, I'm not going tospoil anything.
Completely spoiler free.
Just got one thing to say aboutit Because I was going to talk
about it as well.
Completely spoiler free.

(57:08):
Just got one thing to say aboutit Because I was going to talk
about it as well.

Maurice (57:10):
I've never read anything, and we did get a down
to none chapter.

Jordan (57:12):
Yeah, I've never read anything Right, got 60 chapters
deep and then felt like I wasstarting a new story, and not in
a bad way, in like, okay, thatwas your prologue, here's the
meat of your story, kind of way.
Like I feel like everythingthat we've been through with
shihiro up until this point andthis is what uh, three arcs deep

(57:34):
, yeah, three arcs deepeverything feels like it was
setting up for the last chapter,like setting up a relationships
, dynamics and uh and an anglefor him to meet the new person
that got introduced in the lastchapter.
And that new person feels likean mc.

(57:57):
They don't feel like a sidecharacter, they don't feel like
they don't feel like a, aone-off, they feel like a main
character, they feel like aone-off, they feel like I'm a
character.
They feel like, oh my God, forthe next two, three arcs, this
is your story, so go ahead andtake it.
And Chihiro is basically goingto be like the Kevin Costner
bodyguard.
Just kidding, I swear to God,that's the vibe I got.

(58:22):
I hope it plays out the way Ithought it would.
It's going to be awesome.
I'm really, really impressedwith Hoka Zono, because this is
his first one.
Yeah, nah this is his firststory, bro.

Maurice (58:37):
He's swinging out the gate with this one.

Jordan (58:39):
That's all.

Maurice (58:39):
I'm saying Whatever man You're doing good.

Jordan (58:41):
First story bro.
Continue it.
First story bro.

Maurice (58:47):
What you call it, chojin.
I'm still staying by.

Jordan (58:53):
Motherfucking X.

Maurice (58:54):
Chojin X Damn good.

Jordan (59:00):
Do y'all even know what Chojin X is?
I just need to know, Like Causewe were planning on doing
something today and we didn't doit because we were kind of
indecisive about it.
But Y'all know.
Do y'all know anything aboutTrojan X?

Maurice (59:14):
Just let us know Like.

Jordan (59:18):
No details, nothing crazy.
Do you know?
Just tell us?
Do you know about Trojan X?
That's it Continue.

Maurice (59:32):
I picked up this new thing that I started reading the
Bele Call.
I've been enjoying it.
I already caught up.
I'm up to date.

Jordan (59:42):
How many chapters is it?

Maurice (59:43):
It's like 29.

Jordan (59:44):
No, it's not too bad.

Maurice (59:45):
No, but it's like a monthly.
They give like monthly pages,so a chapter could be like 60
page.
It's been good.

Jordan (59:59):
That's not bad.
I like monthly manga.
It seemed to be doing very wellrecently.

Maurice (01:00:05):
Kaidu's been um.
Last chapter.
I'm not going to get into it.
All I'm going to say is I'vebeen enjoying Kaidu.
Kaidu been good.

Jordan (01:00:13):
Kaidu been good.
Bang, bang.
It has been going off.
It was kind of hard for us tobelieve that they said it was
going to end, but now that we'rehere we're like okay, what's
after this?
It would have to end after thishe kind of like made sure, like

(01:00:35):
yeah, yeah, no, wrap it up weending it yeah, we're ending it.
That one's pretty good.

Maurice (01:00:44):
I also went crazy too for gachakuchi gachakuta, jesus.

Jordan (01:00:52):
But to be fair, I also call it gachakuchi because it's
funny.
Nah, dude, I haven't startedreading that yet.
Jesus.
But to be fair, I also call itgachikuchi because it's funny.
Nah, dude, I haven't startedreading that yet, but it's
probably going to get the don todon in Sakamoto Day's treatment
when the anime drops.

Maurice (01:01:06):
As well.
You're just going to watch thefirst episode.

Jordan (01:01:08):
First episode.
If it gets me, it gets me, andthen I'm on the books and I'm
reading that joint.
So we'll see From what you said.
It has a really interestingpower system.
I like stories like that, a lotof imagination based stuff.

Maurice (01:01:21):
Power system is interesting, but also the art.

Jordan (01:01:25):
Cracked.

Maurice (01:01:26):
So damn good Cracked.

Jordan (01:01:29):
Especially the dude from Down to Down, bro, that man
draws some double spreads.
You look at it like what.
This is weekly.
You do this once a week, once aweek, once a week, bro.
This is why health.

Maurice (01:01:47):
This is why health usually runs bad over there.

Jordan (01:01:50):
Bro, and some of the chapters have like two, three
double spreads.

Maurice (01:01:53):
Yeah, like that last one, Last chapter, sir, that was
all hands, all action, all.

Jordan (01:01:55):
Some of the chapters have like two, three double
spreads.
Yeah, like that last one.
Hey, last chapter, sir, thatwas all hands, all action, all
hands.
Busting through from panel topanel bro.
Oh my gosh.
Oh man.
Keep spreading your wings,gentlemen, keep flying, keep
drawing like you're drawing,keep drawing like you're drawing
, man Loving it.

(01:02:16):
For me I'd say you know mystandouts, people gonna flame me
.
But Boruto, talk to me, I don'tcare, say what you want, it's
Fire Story, fire, main characterPlot, go bang.
It's like you can't look atBoruto and then look at Boruto 2

(01:02:40):
, blue Vortex, as one thing,even though they're technically
should be seen as one thing.
The jump in quality from one tothe other is wild.
It's night and day, it'sactually pretty crazy.
It sucks.

Maurice (01:02:54):
I skip a good chunk of Boruto, because Boruto is pretty
dog shit.

Jordan (01:02:59):
You can bro.

Maurice (01:03:01):
But the Blue Vortex thing, that bit second part two,
part two has been slapping.

Jordan (01:03:07):
Interesting.
To be quite frank, you couldskip the Momoshiki.
Well, no, watch the Momoshikiparts, specifically the movie or
the anime version, because theanime version has the better.
No, Watch the momoshiki parts,specifically the movie or the
anime version, because the animeversion has the better fight.
So watch the anime version.
It's not that long, it'sprobably like six episodes, and
then you can skip all of ituntil you see code Finish code.

(01:03:31):
Then you can skip all of ituntil the very end of where it
stops when code comes back.

Maurice (01:03:40):
Just watch a Spark no video.

Jordan (01:03:42):
Just watch a video Just night and day, and don't watch
the anime.
If you can't help it, read it.
Reading it is just so muchbetter.

Maurice (01:03:50):
Trust me, see, I think that's where they messed up at.

Jordan (01:03:53):
The anime actually fucked them see, I think that's
where they messed up at animeactually fucked them.
I think they didn't realizethat you, the format they had in
the past sucked.
I think they didn't realize howmuch it sucked.
And now that people have somuch more better shit to do like
good, better shit to go watchand you weren't putting out

(01:04:13):
quality, you realize, oh, myformat sucks and my quality
sucks and they're related.
Maybe we should fix that, whichis why it's probably gonna come
out seasonal in uh, probably ayear or so, when black clover
comes back.
So same company too uh studioparadise paradise.
There you go, yeah, so we shallsee.

(01:04:35):
We shall see, uh, but that's mystandout.
Um kagura bachi, definitely astandout.
Talked about that already.
Hokuzono's killing it.
Uh, wild strawberry lost me sohard.
I will like I'm sorry, I don'twant to spoil y'all but pardon

(01:05:00):
me, wants to tell you not towaste your goddamn time because,
quite frankly, I've never seenso much senseless death for
absolutely no reason, to makezero progress in my life oh man,
like you really don't move youescape poverty and death to go
join an organization to live inpoverty and debt, to then fight

(01:05:23):
to the things that are causingthe world to be in poverty and
debt by using the things thathave thrust the world into
poverty and death as a weapon,and eventually, if you keep
using them, they will consumeyou in the way that poverty and
death would, and that is yourcycle.
I kid you not, I swear to god.
I swear to god.

Maurice (01:05:43):
I wish I could lie.
I wish I could set up a roomand say like, yeah, nah, it's
cat how many chapters are we in?

Jordan (01:05:50):
30 something 37 chapters in.
They've been no Progress in theplot.

Maurice (01:06:02):
It really hasn't.

Jordan (01:06:03):
There's been no progress in the plot.

Maurice (01:06:05):
They just introduced that, they introduced that idea
in there, but, yeah, they reallydidn't go nowhere with this.

Jordan (01:06:13):
They teased a little bit of an organization In their
potentially nefarious ways, thengave you nothing about it for
like and I'm an avid like, yeah,let it play out.
Let it play out Like you got tolike, I've let it play out, bro
, not only is it boring, it'salso just bad.

(01:06:33):
So, just like, save yourselfsome yourself.
The time also beat in motion,also dropped.
It didn't like it beat inmotion.
Yeah, slice of life.
Uh, it's a manga I was readingabout this kid who's an animator
and this chick who's a singer.
And they get together.
They start.
I think it's because therelationship started really

(01:06:56):
early and the content wasn'tthat interesting to begin with.
So, because they got togetherearly and the content wasn't
already interesting as soon asthey got back together, it kind
of just fell apart.

Maurice (01:07:06):
Oh damn.

Jordan (01:07:07):
I kind of just didn't have it.
I heard you read it anywhere.
I'm like oh, you guys together,that was that wasn't even that
cool.
You guys did that on the way tothe supermarket.

Maurice (01:07:25):
The confession was on the way to the supermarket and
the girl was like aren't yougonna confess to me?
I was like how long they knowneach other.

Jordan (01:07:30):
Not long enough, bro, long enough to like, like each
other, but also like Nah, nah,nah, just nah, just nah.
That's wild.
Gaming was gaming.
I didn't have anything toreally say besides metaphor.

(01:07:52):
Oh, poe, though, could say that, because still before the end
of the year, poe 2 has beenreally fire.
I tried Diablo earlier thisyear.
Didn't really hold me, I don'tknow, felt kind of boring PoE
got you.
Poe 2 got me, bro.
I don't know what it is.
I don't know what it is, man.

Maurice (01:08:11):
For those who don't know what PoE 2 is, Path of
Exile they got a beta.
It's in beta trial right now,but they're supposed to be
coming out later on this year.

Jordan (01:08:25):
Apparently there's a whole bunch of story already in
it.
Three arcs worth of story.
They put in endgame contentalready Six, six classes, two
ascensions per class.
So technically, six classes,two specializations, six more

(01:08:47):
classes coming at launch.
Oh shit With theirspecializations.
I believe there's also going tobe a third specialization for
the existing classes.

Maurice (01:08:55):
There's more classes coming.

Jordan (01:08:57):
Six more classes, along with specializations.
It's a big ass tree that theygot going on, already the fuck,
yup, yup, the skill tree,massive, massive.
I wish I love it.

Maurice (01:09:11):
I wish I could see it.
It is ridiculous Just howfucking huge the skill tree is.
Yeah.
I'm concerned, I'm just like,hmm, it looks like a lot of time
.

Jordan (01:09:29):
It definitely is one of those games that you're going to
spend a lot of time on, but itlooks like they're going to keep
updating it with more stuff,spells, all that stuff.
It's gonna be cool.
Uh, got anything for gaming,anything catchy this year no,
not really.

Maurice (01:09:47):
Um, I only get games if I know I'm gonna absolutely go
ahead and cop in October.
Metaphor drop as well assparking zero.
I had to make a decision.
I do not regret the decision atall.

Jordan (01:10:05):
I don't think anybody regrets the decision.

Maurice (01:10:07):
Metaphor is too damn good.

Jordan (01:10:08):
Yeah, definitely the better buy.

Maurice (01:10:11):
Bro, I got like over 100-something hours on that hole
.

Jordan (01:10:15):
I think I finished at like 130.
Too damn good.
I'm spending so something hourson that.
Oh, I think I finished it like130.
2 am good.
I'm spending so much time onthat game, oh my god, and
already started my secondplaythrough wild right crazy.

Maurice (01:10:25):
Uh, aside from that, yeah, I don't think there was
rivals.
I mean, I am enjoying marvelrivals until I'm not enjoying it
.

Jordan (01:10:35):
It's a shooter.
That's usually how it's goingto go.
I don't know.
It didn't feel any different tome.
We played Overwatch.
I feel like a lot of thediscourse, not just from us as
friends, but from the internetas a whole, was that this would
be an Overwatch 2 killer.
I have not played it and seenanything that tells me that look

(01:10:57):
, I'm gonna be real, it's anoverwatch true killer.

Maurice (01:10:59):
I think nothing's gonna kill overwatch.
No blizzard themselves try tokill overwatch and that didn't
kill overwatch.

Jordan (01:11:09):
Overwatch could still be dog shit, though, but I I think
overwatch is pretty much nestin that, even with it pissing
off its own fan base, it's stillgoing to survive I think
nothing will kill overwatchrivals is uniquely positioned to
put pressure on them to improvethe quality of the game which
would be nice which I think isgonna play in favor of the

(01:11:31):
community, but I don't thinkrivals is doing anything that's
really necessarily innovative inthe hero shooter space I'll be
real, I don't necessarily alsoneed an overwatch killer no, you
don't like I'm cool with, likeI'm cool with marvel rivals.

Maurice (01:11:46):
I'll be real.
Both, like you said, play thesame or whatever.
Both obviously have their owngripes and stuff.
I definitely enjoy marvelrivals a lot more than Overwatch
, but that's probably because Idon't know how to go ahead and
class that, because I do havehours in Overwatch, but I just
enjoy Marvel Rivals.

Jordan (01:12:04):
You play Overwatch.
You're not an Overwatch player.
And.
I'm not saying that.
Okay, that sounded kind of.

Speaker 3 (01:12:12):
That wasn't necessarily intended to sound as
negative as it came across.

Jordan (01:12:14):
I know what you mean.
That wasn't necessarilyintended to sound as negative as
it came across.

Maurice (01:12:16):
I know what you mean.

Jordan (01:12:16):
Yeah, like there's people who play a game and
there's people who play a gameLike you can.
They can be good as shootersand you can hop from Call of
Duty to Sorry, you can playshooters, hop from Call of Duty
to Overwatch, to uh, apex, tofortnite and you could play

(01:12:38):
those games recreationally.
But like people who areclimbing the ladder, who have
like been trying to break plaid,like there's like if you know
the walls in the game like notlike literal walls, like the
metaphorical walls where youstart to feel like that's your
challenge in the game then Iconsider you a player in the
game.
Like you were more of a casualplayer, Like you played when we

(01:13:01):
played and we played quickly andwe do our thing.
Sometimes we play comp if wefeel real spicy, but like it was
nothing crazy.
So I can understand why youwould like Rivals more, because
it's not bad, it's fun.
It's not bad, it's fun, it's aunique experience.
All the characters are crazy.
I'll say that the characterdesign in that game is

(01:13:21):
phenomenal.
Phenomenal, but the balancing istrash and I know it came out
like two weeks ago, which is whyI'm not taking it to heart
right now, but at some pointthey have to address it.

Maurice (01:13:34):
I need that.
Jeff Olt nerfed bro.
Ain't no damn way I could beflying in the air and still get
in giggo.

Jordan (01:13:40):
It goes beyond the Jeff Olt's bro, the balancing and the
hitbox.
Hitbox is definitely the thingthe hitboxes are so bad in the
game and that's a big part ofwhy a lot of these characters
are a problem, like Hela Jeff.
Oh, no, hela's of thesecharacters are a problem, like

(01:14:00):
hella jeff, like I don't know.
They're very forgivingcharacters and it just.
But it sounds I'm not.
I like the game.
I enjoyed the game.
I don't.
I just personally don't thinkthe game is as cracked out in
fire, he's just overwatch.

Maurice (01:14:12):
Uh, stan man, he he likes it, I'm not I.

Jordan (01:14:14):
I think I haven't played Overwatch since.
I've played Overwatch probablylike three times since Rivals
came out.
I've been playing Rivalssubstantially more than I've
been playing Overwatch.
Wow.

Maurice (01:14:24):
That's crazy bro.

Jordan (01:14:25):
And the crazy part is it's not like I haven't had time
.
There are other games that Icould have been playing.
There are other times where Icould have been playing
Overwatch, where I wasn'tplaying Rivals, and I just opted
to play other games because Ireally don't feel like playing
Overwatch right now.
So it's not like it's comingfrom like a oh I love Overwatch,
I hate Rivals, kind of thing.
It's like I'm trying to be asobjective as I can and I've been

(01:14:46):
given the game a chance andthis is just the feedback I have
.
Yeah, I know those are the twobiggest things to me the hit
boxes and the characterbalancing.

Maurice (01:14:57):
cuz like Healing is super strong, damage is like
either you don't do no damage oryou just explode.
There's no team is looking atyou.
Man, you're just over, but alsoyou can be saved.
You can have all the healthFrom the brink of death bro, you
can pop one cooldown andsomebody can hit you with their

(01:15:19):
cooldown and you have fullhealth.

Jordan (01:15:21):
I'm like yo.
This can't be right bro.

Maurice (01:15:23):
Goddamn, you always won .

Jordan (01:15:26):
Just the second ago, I can't work that hard for this
kill, for that to be happening.
Bro, Get out of my face oh yeah.
But nah, it could go up anddown real quick.
Yeah, yeah, that was just fun,though.

Maurice (01:15:39):
I have been enjoying my expansion arrival, especially
since I've been learning more ofthe characters yeah, and
apparently they, apparently theygot like a whole bunch of more
characters dropping the game.
I am a lot with 33 characterson release is very ambiguous.
That's crazy.

Jordan (01:16:01):
Damn Video games, anime and manga and music.

Maurice (01:16:07):
Wait a minute.

Jordan (01:16:09):
There will be some good anime that you all have this
year, though that you all havethis year, though if that
silence doesn't tell you enough,I don't know.
Everything's been.
I'm not gonna lie.
All the stuff that I've beenexpecting to be good has been

(01:16:30):
good, so it's like it's nothingnew, solo leveling k, like it's
all the stuff you're expecting.
I haven't been like grabbed byanything new.
I watched a lot of Slice ofLife this year and I will say I
was put onto a culture that isundeniably remarkable.

(01:16:54):
That is undeniably remarkable.
Yo, like, what's the one withthe black-haired kid?

Maurice (01:17:10):
And the chick likes when he like is rough with her
bro.

Jordan (01:17:15):
Oh um, Hoi Hoi Mia, hoi Mia, bro, hoi Mia, hoi Mia, bro,
hoi Mia is one of my favorites.
Now I'm not gonna hold youBecause, ah, it's so good.
First of all, he smashed.
Second of all, she lets him dosome weird shit out of him.

Maurice (01:17:28):
Bro he's.
He's already a part of thefamily.

Jordan (01:17:31):
It's mad funny.

Maurice (01:17:32):
It's mad funny Her brother loves him, the dad loves
him, the mother they weremarried in high school.

Jordan (01:17:37):
He's already.
Yeah, they were literallymarried in high school.
It was crazy.
Like that's the type of stuff Itheir relationship is so pure,
though those were the non likemainstream stuff that I really
found like.
There's another one, her Beast,or something like that.
Her Beast, yeah, where thislittle orange-haired chick and

(01:18:01):
this really tough dude and hebeat people up, but he was like
a fair dude, he wasn't beatingpeople up for no reason, he was
beating up bullies and stufflike that, but people
misunderstood him and she waslike a mean little bitch.
I'm going to say it.
She was a mean little bitch andthey were mean together and
then they wound up being notmean to.
It's like, bro, it's a slice oflife.

(01:18:21):
Ran my life this year when Iwasn't watching the mainstream.

Maurice (01:18:24):
Bro, that's all I was trying to get across bro, your
recap of it had a slice of lifeup there, did it, yeah, yeah
yeah, oh, I was excited for bluebox, but it's just all right,
damn it's alright.

Jordan (01:18:35):
I was thinking about reading the manga.
I still haven't touched it.
That's how you know.
It was.
Alright, it was.
I will say, though I want theother chick to it do look
beautiful.
Yeah, it does.
I want the other chick to win,though Not her.
She don't deserve him.
She don't deserve him.

Maurice (01:18:50):
He was explaining it earlier to me.
It sounded crazy.

Jordan (01:18:53):
Nah, explaining it earlier to me it sounded crazy.
Nah, nah, she crazy, she like.
I don't want to spoil this shit, but Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah,
she not about that, bro and theother chick about that.
But he don't want the otherchick, he want her but the other
chick want him.
So it's like ew, god damn it.
Yo, I like slice of life shit.

(01:19:14):
Don't judge me, it's shit fun,right, shit is mad funny.

Maurice (01:19:23):
Did you get anything?
I'm not going to lie, no, right, not so much.
I mean, obviously, like yousaid, the popular stuff was
crazy Good.
