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.

(00:23):
What's going on y'all,it's Southern Senpais.
Two southern guys who exploreJapanese culture together.
I'm Nicholas.
I'm DJ, and he did pause.
But I purposely did look at him this time.
You were so dramatic inthe way you did not look.
I just can't win, you guys.
You hear this?
I just can't win, I just have to leave theroom and then maybe, but apparently not.

(00:47):
I can't.
You were dramatic.
All you had to do was just sitthere and wait for me to do it.
And you were just like,no, don't look at me.
Who was that for?
They can't see whatyou're doing, Nicholas.
Yeah, so you don't know I did it.
Today we're watching along, firstof all, Live Like Episode 5.

(01:07):
And Nicholas, you want to tell usabout the how you feel about it so far?
I'm liking the anime moreand more each episode.
It started out very generic.
But I'm also a big fan of RPGs.
So it could be that.
What's one of your favorite RPGs?
Huh?
Do you like Final Fantasy?
One of my favorite RPGswas Lord of the Rings.

(01:27):
I really liked Kingdom Hearts.
But the Lord of the Rings Waitwait, which Lord of the Rings?
Because there's a bunch ofLord of the Rings games.
Lord of the Rings Two Towersand Return of the King.
What, Game Boy Advance.
Oh, okay, Game Boy Advance.
Okay.
Because in Game Boy Advance, Ithink on PC you didn't get a chance
to choose the different weapons.

(01:48):
But in Game Boy Advance, there were likedifferent items that dropped and it was
like rarities and like stuff like that.
So that was my favorite.
I never really got into RPGsexcept for the major ones.
Technically Pokemon's an RPGFinal Fantasy Kingdom Hearts.
Yeah, just major ones.
I wasn't cool enough toplay at RPGs like you are.

(02:12):
I think it's getting better.
I personally know this episode isgoing to be really good for me to
really be like, all right, cool.
I'm along for the restof this ride, right?
Because what that means,it means less Judy.
Less Judy.
Cuz, we're saying bigbooty Judy ironically.
She is truly, long back Judy.

(02:34):
She is, two dented sidewalk potholes Judy.
She is liquid death can Judy.
She has the body shapeof just like a tree log.
And this man is Oh, I care abouther, but she's been nothing
but a bitch this whole time.
Just a horrible personon the inside and out.
And she's you need to stay home.

(02:54):
Cause you get no hose.
You can't fucking do anythingthat I usually get hurt.
And then she acts like she caresabout him, but she really doesn't.
She this is.
She's like the result of a toxic abusiverelationship because now that he's strong.
She's gonna be like falling more andmore in love with him Yeah, and she
was like, oh you should take me outto take dinner After this in the first

(03:15):
episode, but she was saying it cuz likehe owed her not because she like really
likes him Yeah let's see what happensin this episode What do you what?
Does this episode need to providefor you to be like, okay, I'm
wrong for the rest of this, right?
Just continue to get better.
Level up?
Yeah, level up.

(03:36):
Solo leveling.
They got a solo level.
All right.
As you guys know, we don't have thestudio 23 minutes and 40 seconds.
I'm gonna press play in three, two, one.
Oh, we're back at the generic hospital.

(04:03):
This man gettin ripped in there.
This man levelin up in there.
Yo, hey.
Bro.
Why is he still in the hospital if he'sleveled up, like he's clearly healed.

(04:32):
His face has changed and everything.
So he's got, he gets more attractive.
That's so funny.
He gets more attractivethe more he levels up?
He doesn't even look like the same guy.
He got taller.
He got taller.

(04:53):
Cuz he used to have that blue hair.
Wait, what?
Oh, damn, he's getting a hose.
Man.
See, he doesn't evenlook like that anymore.

(05:14):
And the and it's ruined.
And it's gone.
This.
Wouldn't that be great?
Hey, I'd do three push ups and I'dget Yeah, I wish that was the case.
Actually, it is.
How many, fat, doughy peoplework out and they become like
ripped and everyone's Oh, wow.
Because they were ripped the whole time.
They just had a bunch of fat on them.
It was also really interesting.

(05:35):
They're like, Oh, you people sayOh the fat, ugly person, them are
the same person as I was then.
So you should have likedthat fat, ugly person.
You're clearly not the same person.
You're the person who now haslearned discipline to get into
shape and be a better person.
You are not the same person as previously.
You evolved.
I feel like a lot of peoplego through that, that's why

(05:57):
middle school sucks so hard.
Because you see everyone elseleveling up and you're like,
Damn bro, when's my chance?
Why am I gonna level up?
Bro, you ain't lying.
I was like 4 foot 11, 50 pounds.
I still am.
Yeah, I'm glad I had that growth spurt.

(06:19):
Yes!
Yes!
Oh, what's a ultra morning?
It's better than aregular morning, clearly.
The White Tiger Guild.
So this is Power Rangers,we are doing Power Rangers.

(06:41):
I don't blame you guys,Power Rangers is awesome.
Dude, that's All Might.
I think you mean Vegeta.
It's the same guy though, I'm just,I'm switching, but yeah it is.
Or at least sounds like him.

(07:13):
I remember when I was workingout a lot, like last year.
And I finally hit my PR.
Deadlifting 400 pounds.
And I remember it like it was yesterday.
And the only reason why is becauseI deadlifted and I was like, Wow!
I can't believe I reached my goal.
I'm going to stop trying now.
Laughter.
And I totally regressed.
Laughter.

(07:37):
Cool.
I'm done.
I just wanna see if I can do it.
That is clearly not what's happening.
Obviously.
I grew a foot and a half.

(08:04):
He doesn't even sound the same anymore.
a different voice actor.
That would be awesome.
Level up and you become moreattractive for no reason.

(08:26):
Oh, he's level 18 now.
Intelligence 27.
Turn it up.

(08:48):
He's whispering like I hate thisabout freaking there's so many
shows out there in which theyhave zero audio mixing abilities

(09:19):
This is also so unrealistic if youwere in the hospital your landlord
did not give two fucks right my money
Why what was up with the crush shot Iguess it's dual fan service, these right?
Dual.
It's equal rights.

(10:03):
Aren't you already like supposedlythe weakest person, so like it
doesn't everyone already know you?
So he's still, yeah, he's still aeran because 'cause there's no one
can level up so he's still an eran.
But here's the thing, everyone,he's already the most famous person.
'cause everyone knowshe's the weakest one.
So I don't get why having more notorietywould change your life in any aspect.

(10:44):
Yeah, so it's okay, so he's super famous.
He's already really famous So whywould you care if you stick out
like a nail this makes no sense?

(11:04):
Okay, you need minimum 800s,but there's seven of you
Two million dollars for participating.
Yo, I would love toactually sign me up dude.
Let me rank

(11:50):
Probably I
love how insurance and contractsare still a part of this thing

(12:21):
Probably.

(12:45):
Damn.
I didn't know you turnedinto Sasuke all of a sudden.
Yeah, he went from straight up soy boy to,oh, I guess I'm a cool protagonist now.
You know what I think?
I honestly believe that whoever createdthis, He might be like, an incel person,

(13:06):
who like, now he envisions himself doingthis, but instead of actually doing
those pushups and situps and becomingmore attractive, he just made this mug.
That's fucked up.
We don't even know who made this.
Time to find out!

(13:30):
It could be a woman made this.
Yeah, but it was one of thosethings that was made online.
It was one of thoseonline web mangas first.
So I'm pretty sure it's a dude.
This was an online web manga?
Yeah, I hate to say it,because I'm a male writer.
But usually females canwrite better than this.

(13:55):
Actually, I don't hate to say that.
Some of my favorite stuff hasbeen written by a woman, actually.
It was written by It was a Koreanwebtoon written by Chu Gong.
Chugong, I don't, there'sno pictures of Chugong.

(14:25):
Who is Chugong?
Oh, here he is, Chugong.
You think they're allgonna die like last time?
Oh wait, no, this is notChugong, this is somebody else.
I think they're allgonna die like last time.
Man, I sure hope they do.
All I see is whathappened to Solo Leveling.

(14:46):
Wait, is it, the author of Solo Leveling?
Oh, there's a rumor that he died.
But he's not.
There's always a rumor.
Oh yeah, definitely.
There's a portal to a big empty cave.
This is why you're D rank.
Shut the hell up.
Batman?

(15:20):
I want him to be millipedes and not ants.
That'd be cool.
Oh, they're ants.
Are you attracted to me, bro?
What is wrong with you?
Oh, they're like termite looking.

(15:59):
What is that, a Rasengan?
What was that one anime wherethe guy had like fire baseball,
and it was like the dumbest thingI've ever seen in my entire life?
Oh, come on, man.
Don't hate on Blue Clo Black Clover.
First of all you said Blue Clover.
That just proves my point.
Black Clover.
Second of all, I didn'tsay all of it was terrible.
That man specifically,his powers are stupid.

(16:22):
Fire ba You're gonna look me inthe eye and tell me fire baseball.
His powers are from Mario.
I was a big fan of Black Clover.

That man did that, what, bone lengthening?
Yeah.
From Bucky.
From real life?

(22:48):
It's so interesting, look atthe people who have done the
guys who do bone lengthening.
And apparently women do it too.
Which is interesting.
But, the bone lengthening they'll betaller, but they have shorter arms.
They don't have the wingspan of Yo.
I'm always like, There's areally good way for to tell
someone's done bone lengthening.
You'd be like, Hey man, Touch your toes.

(23:10):
What?
Most people can easily touch their toes.
Unless you're like, fat or out of shape.
You don't seem fat.
You don't seem out of shape.
Go ahead and touch your toes.
If you can't, You did thatbone lengthening, did ya?

(23:38):
