Southern Senpai Show.
What's going on today, DJ?
Today we're gonna be watchingepisode 6 of Solo Leveling.
What do you think of the series so far?
The series is getting betterand better each episode.
Yeah, I wish it started off good.
I would, I hate to be one of thosepeople that's you gotta watch

(00:47):
Four episodes before it gets good.
It's a lot easier when it's your job.
Because a lot of people are like, No, Iwant it to be good from the first episode.
Yeah.
That's why a lot of people arelike, You gotta give an anime
at least three to four episodes.
And it's but you know what?
They never make that excusefor any American shows.
No.
They, to be fair, There's not an Americanshow out there that they give that excuse.

(01:09):
Oh, you gotta give it a few episodes.
No, because americans don't have thattype of patience or you're right like
I don't I'm not a big fan of the officeLike yeah, no, i've seen the office Just
skip the whole first season man Just youI most people i'm like you want to watch
the office started season two season oneIt's not even it's like it's almost as if

(01:31):
they were practicing for the second seasonIn fact, the characters are different from
season one to season two They're not evenlike the same like the same actors, right?
You But the characters themselvesare like completely different.
Then why did they change?
Because Steve Carell was in a littlemovie called the 40 old virgin.
And so the first season he's modeledcompletely after the UK guy, right?

(01:53):
The original office.
But the issue is that it'sa UK humor in America, which
doesn't fucking track at all.
And also he's like balding.
He's like bald.
And like the first season.
Oh, then he gets a hair transplant?
In this sec, they didn't even,they didn't even mention it.
They don't even bring it up.
In the second season, he just looksexactly like he looks in the 40 year old
version and is the exact same personality.

(02:14):
Oh, so that he's just the guyfrom 40 year old version just on.
And they were like no explanationof why there was such a huge
character change No explanation.
Why is this huge physical change?
None of that in the first season?
He's like a fat bald guy in the secondseason He's a skinny guy with hair,
but he's still a dumb ass, right?
But like it's totally different andthen other people's fucking characters

(02:35):
changed, too So they basically literallymade just a second show or just kept
all the fucking names the same Which iswhy people like oh wow now it's good.
Yeah.
Again skip the first season, but we'renot here to talk about that We're
here to talk about Solo Leveling.
Alright I don't have any Xenohouses, buttoday does have We do have Liquid Death.
Liquid Death, yeah, that's right.
It's a The funny part aboutLiquid Death, though, is that

(02:57):
it does, it's not quenching.
Yeah, if it only has water, it doesnot quench your thirst very much.
It doesn't quench your thirst at all.
No, not really.
This is the Carbonation,you know what I mean?
I get thirsty drinking this.
Maybe that's like the trick.
They want you to keep drinking more.
Because Water that makes you more thirsty.
That is insane.
And it's a great business plan.

(03:18):
That's what energy drinks are.
Energy drinks actively dehydrate you.
And then you've been yeah, becausethe caffeine, then once you crash,
you're like, oh, I need another one.
That's like this, and then I leavemine out because I don't like
the carbonation, yeah, anyway,we're gonna be starting here.
We are starting at zero.
We don't have any of those Pesky.

(03:39):
Beginning studio Thing iswe don't have that on here.
All right Let's see what'sgoing on with episode six.
We can press play in three twoone play Swirling blue stuff guy
working out of swirling blue stuff.
Okay.
All right Hey,

(04:03):
oh Yes

(04:31):
These people are so evil and they'rethey're designed so generic it's so
sad to know they're about to die Makesthem less threatening actually Wow

(04:55):
a Few hundred million, that's crazy

(05:22):
Why you took so you already saidthey're as good as dead eight times
already, but we get it keep reinforcingthe point Oh my gosh, they say oh my
gosh, you're gonna die again, bro.
I Seriously almost just pausethis thing you just say bro.
Yeah.
Hey the anime just said bro

(05:45):
Did the dialogue just drop off TheyI think they just got lazy with
this dub episode probably I betyou I don't I don't not believe he
said that in the Japanese version

(06:09):
Huh What is this a girlfacing Drake I'm level 18.
I can take you on

(06:29):
I love how that was.
That was really stupid.
I ain't gonna lie.
Yeah, that was reallystupid at this intro.
How many more episodes arein this season with six more?
Yeah.
Woo, woo.
Hold on.
Let just turn off the light.
I think that I thinkhopefully it will better.
Yeah.
Okay, this anime just tooka nose dive off a cliff.

(06:53):
Yeah, and also, if I see this chickthat we're supposed to like one
more time, who is a total bitch.
It's Sakura.
I, I, I would prefer Sakura from Naruto.
You know what the thing is I waswatching this video where it said,
you know the reason why you guys allhate Sakura is because, Sakura is a

(07:13):
representation of the girl that youlike that never gave you any attention.
Not really.
I personally I think this mightbe true for some incels, but it
doesn't really make any sense.
And I'll tell you why.
Why?
Because in in Naruto, Hinatareally likes Naruto, right?
All he has to do is just realize it.
In this example, Like that guy sayingoh because just cuz you know the girl

(07:37):
you like doesn't like you but elseimplies it like no girls like You I'm
like Naruto when Naruto and I that Isn'tthere like some other arc where some
girls like hey, I have to repopulateNaruto You want to help me out with that?
And he's yeah, sure.
I don't remember that.
Yeah, I know her.
No, it's in Shippuden.
Oh There's a few girls who likeNaruto There's some girls in

(07:59):
Naruto that'd be like, yo, I heardthat Ninetales Chakra go crazy.

(08:21):
Less talking?
You're talking to me, andyou want to do less talking?
Then stop talking to me.
What's all that scars on his face?
Is he like an old school hunter?
I think he's just ugly.
I think at the end of the day, we needto stop giving explanations to all
these scar people and just realize thatsometimes They just look like that.
If he was from Maryland, he wouldknow how to eat crabs, but he

(08:41):
doesn't . He would know how, whatto do when he has crabs too, right?
break out the shampoo.

(09:08):
why is what?
What, why?
Why is your the body of your ice?
Why is backing up?
Yeah.
Oh, he thinks he kills for fun.
He can't be sorry.
Now, typical trust fund kid.

(09:31):
That man said his armor'sworth a couple hundred million.
Ugh.
Someone watched video games.
Someone watched Dark Souls and waslike, yeah, actually, this is it.
Yeah, I can't help but thinkthat this anime is pretty basic.

(09:54):
Generic.
The last episode was way better than this.
But I tell you what makes it hard isthat alright, so you like have a story,
you want your character to get betterbecause that's the only way he can
do, better and better more dangerousenemies is if they get better, right?
But you can't just be like, oh yeah,see look, he's like getting better,

(10:16):
like you can't really do that.
You know what I'm saying?
It's oh he's level, I know he'slevel 100, so him facing this tiny
level 2 boss gives me no excitement.
Compared to you don't know if Naruto wentup against an actual ninja serial killer,
you have no idea what's gonna happen.
You even though he might beless powerful than Naruto.
He could have some stuff in thereYou don't know but this was like,

(10:38):
oh he's level 2 and he's level 100.
Okay.
Then why do I care?
right why don't you help him outinstead of just standing around?
He has a shield the giant shieldUse the giant shield or you're gonna
do it because you're friends now.

(11:00):
Oh He's a Saiyan and has full recovery
That's Plot Armor.
Oof.
It gives the excuse of PlotArmor, but it's saying, Oh, it's
part of the video game, man.
It's part of the game, man.
It's part of the game.
It's a Plot Armor video.
It was there from the beginning.
That's what he did.
Why did that work?

(11:25):
It just failed two seconds ago.
Why did it just not work?
Because he just did a full recovery.
It's not like one full recoveryis gonna make you stronger.

(11:48):
Okay.
Yeah, I saw that.

(12:29):
Such an ass kisser, man.
Trust fund, that works out.
Trust fund kids love kissing ass.
They don't have an actual backbone, sowhen they sense that, they're like, okay.
Oh!
Oh, are you about to die?

(12:54):
Oh, so I guess he is a hunter.
Kill this guy.
You didn't kill him, you only punched him.

(13:23):
Yeah, but it doesn't matter, becauseyou can't change ranks, right?
That's like the whole thing.
So what's the point of even training?
That's what i'm saying like if you aregonna default always be this powerful
not getting any stronger not gettinglike weaker It'll be different if you
got weaker so like you do regularlylike you keep working out so you can
you know But if you can't get strongerAnd you also can't get weaker Don't

(13:44):
then why what is the point of training?
I don't know
When did you get to your exaYou guys watched him kill the
thing, like as soon as it wentthud, You looked up and saw him.
So let me ask you this.
I don't they say normal weaponsdon't work on these monsters.
But, does that mean, Normal weaponsdon't work on these hunters?

(14:06):
I'm just trying towatch and find out, man.
I don't know.
I feel like you would carry agun in this situation still.
Even if they didn't work on normalmonsters, I would still carry a gun,
for a multitude of other reasons.
This one in particularly.

(14:32):
Now you're asking this asyou're about to kill someone?
Can you
not read?
What

(14:54):
was that?
He just hit him with a fireball, hey!
You're the one whose brothers are slavesso you can study sociology, right?
That's crazy.
Isn't your brother like riskinghis life every single hour?
Yeah, this is oh if you went intothe sit down and drink coffee, right?
This is as if you went into the infantrymilitary For you know your sibling to then

(15:19):
be like, hey, look I have an art major
No Absolutely not.
Oh, is that the hulk?
Oh, there's an ogre.
For him to try and tell me he knowsabout life and stuff like that,
it's you don't know about life.
I know about life!
And death!
Hey, and death!

(16:00):
In animes, the glasses arealways so big, don't you think?
I think that's the stylein Japan, actually.
I think it's a Japanese style.
She must not be his sibling, cause she'stalking about she's in a guild too.
So That means that these designsare confusing the heck out.
That looks like his sister, right?
Yeah, but I guess it's not

(16:29):
That Adam's Apple is fucking huge.
It's like a giant spikecoming out of his neck
Warning if you're not complete this questyou will receive an appropriate penalty.
What is that death?

(16:50):
Go into the avatar state If you
will defeat them all Or your heart.
Oh kill them or you would die.

(17:10):
That's interesting it's not a,it's not a hard choice, bro.
They're trying to kill you.
It's really not.
I don't know why you're havingan ethical dilemma about this.
Don't you like murder stuff every day?
What do I have to do that?
Oh, and now it's time to hunt.
What happened to that, bro?
I think a normal person woulddo this in self defense.
Let's see.

(17:32):
I don't.
I have a real question though.
You didn't upgrade your clothes, bro.
You fit.
The shoes is not it, bro.

(18:18):
If you had a gun, you could justshoot him in the face right now.
Or do that.
That works.
Oh!
His head fell off!
One out of six.

(18:40):
Alright I'm sensing a pattern here.
It sucks at first, andthen it has good payoffs.
Which is This is a toxic anime.
It is, it's yeah.
Yeah.
Why don't you stop watching it?
Because every so often,it'll show through.
It's good.
No, it's not.
Yeah, but it has its moments.
