(00:01):
Howdy.
It's the Southern Senpai Show.
Where small town southerners explorebig time Japanese entertainment, anime,
manga, and everything in between.
Here's your hosts, Nicholas and DJ.
What's up y'all, Southern Senpais,two southern guys who explore

(00:26):
Japanese culture together.
I'm Nicholas.
And I am still DJ.
Maybe not next time but for thistime for right now, you're black.
Yeah Exactly what I said, but itis accurate Right now you're black,
we'll figure out the shade tomorrow.
I actually saw Interestingyou brought that up.
I saw a it's being advertisedon tiktok and instagram.

(00:48):
It's like this cream This asiancream that turns people white.
So there's a whole bunch of It'slike this Asian cream that you put on
yourself and it's like a reversed tan.
And like you, you put it on likeIt's gotta hurt though, doesn't it?
I think it's I don't think so.
I think it's juststaining your skin white.
Kind of like a, a temporary tattoo.
Oh.
I think it's staining your skinwhite, but it's like shampoo.

(01:09):
So it's like all over stain.
And it was, it's weird because it'sclearly being advertised to like Koreans
and Asians and Japanese, like Asians,and I'm black and I got it somehow.
I might, Instagram, ifyou're listening I got it.
And I'm white.
I'm already white.
I sent it to you, though.
Oh, that's true.
Hey, Instagram, if you'relistening, stop sending me.

(01:30):
Stop being racist, man.
It's not cool.
It's not even racist.
That's not true.
If someone was racist,they're at least accurate.
You've never heard a KKK member belike, Oh, I just hate black people.
And they're, wanting to go back to China.
No, racists know how to be racist.
For some reason, Instagram sends me awhole bunch of stuff as if I'm Asian.

(01:50):
In fact, I swear to God,two days ago I got this ad.
You do date Asians, I'm not currently.
No, but I didn't say currently.
Yeah, that was like, years ago.
Regardless of which.
That stays on your record as a black man.
It takes at least fiveyears to wash it off.
That was a credit, man.
It's my dating credit.

(02:10):
Dating credit, man.
Two days ago, I got an ad that waslike, Do you want to learn English?
It was like in actual Korean.
It was I couldn't I can't speak koreans.
I was saying, but like ittranslated at the bottom like oh
Do you want to learn english, youknow sound like a real american?
What are you watching orwhere are you going to that?
They think you're?
Asian, i'm on black twitterand black instagram.

(02:32):
Listen, i'm not really sureyou tell it on yourself because
obviously not clearly something.
Oh, you know what else you know whatactually i haven't actually do know
what's going on here What's going on?
You The issue is that I still eatfried rice And sometimes they be
looking up Chinese restaurantsor like Asian themed restaurants.
I do like Asian food.
Yeah, that's probably the issueWomen so you like Asian food,

(02:56):
you'd to eat that sushi downGone pop toe with the rice balls.
Yeah, I went on the that dudeThat thing was closed yesterday.
I didn't know it was closed onSunday neither day I don't really
I don't really go there on Sundays.
But yeah, so I think that's the issueI'm looking up too many Asian themed
restaurants and then I guess the assumesthat I'm Asian which is weird because

(03:20):
that also implies that Asians can't eatanything else besides Asian food things
like According to Instagram Asianshave never eaten a taco before ever.
No, that's not how their advertisingworks You know, I so I wonder
if I start googling hair greaseYeah, and chicken and waffles.
That's why it was recommending me a bunchof black chicks Whenever I was looking up

(03:40):
all that hair stuff like all those wigsand oh, yeah Why people don't know a lot
about moisturizer all the well not themoisturizer part I have dry scalp guys,
just so you know but it's bad enoughto where I had to give him Some black
people, I was like, dude, you can't keepcoming my office and you're snowing out.
Yeah snowing, but no, because of theventilating stuff, I was looking up

(04:02):
what to do, water wave Oh, you useconditioner and stuff like that, right?
Yeah, conditioner, the type ofhair, and Instagram was like
I guess you're a black chick.
I guess you're a black chick.
What you think of this, and this?
I was like, that's crap.
Cause I already know all this, right?
And it was just like, then after a while,it was like, oh no, you're a white man.
It's all good.
I didn't get to that stage.
I didn't get to that.

(04:23):
I'll just type in soul foodinto Instagram's search
box I got three four times.
You're like Drake.
You have to prove your blackness no,no Fucking Canadian you're insecure
about your blackness Not really.
I just want to stopbeing claimed as Asian.
Apparently I'm beingclaimed by other races.
Yeah.
I can't, sorry.
This is like the DaveChappelle racial draft.

(04:45):
The Asians have already drafted you.
What am I, Wu Tang?
Yeah.
I miss that show.
Dave Chappelle's show was bad funny.
This is not what we'retalking about today.
Today we're talking aboutepisode seven of Solo Leveling.
And again DJ is not a fanof this anime anymore.
No I am not.
I guarantee the first half of this.

(05:05):
Is not even watchable and thenthe second half is going to
be interesting you know what?
What is it 23 minutes 40 seconds here?
I'm going to say the first 10 minutes ofthis is useless and You know what else?
What?
I'm also gonna say they're gonna show thatbitch who tells him like, oh, you're not
good enough, you should fuck off and die.
And that's his love interest, right?

(05:26):
Heheheheheheheheheheh And now that he'sattractive, I guarantee you she's gonna
look at him cause he changed physically.
Looks nothing like he did before.
Now he's a straight up G.
Now he's a straight up G, edge lord,shadow the hedgehog, he's the type
of person who's like Also if youguys didn't know, DJ's a writer,
so he can tell where this is going.
He's like one of those people who waslike They're in the alpha male content.
They would model themselves and he'sone of those guys who's like It's me.

(05:49):
I may be a nice guy, but don't push metoo hard And then he's as a lion in the
background of the video And you see howyou see why I am the king of the jungle,
you know I'm saying like and she's like

(06:10):
All right again, we don't have thosestudio intros We don't do that.
Because we are real Onepiece Luffy over here.
We're gonna press play in three.
He's a pirate.
Three.
Yeah, I know he's a pirate.
Two.
One.
Oh, they're actually starting off withthe No, it's just the intro, dude.

(06:35):
God this song is also not good.
I thought that was the other chick, right?
She like, they look dissimilar.
They all look like cats, remember?
I think I should be able to determine,I think this is bad character design,
where I can't tell who is who.
Even cats look different from each other.
A little bit.

(06:59):
This is if I told an alien, thatif I described an anime intro
to an alien, this is the type ofthing that they would come up with.
This looks like an AI generated haiki.
Is he just gonna use that daggerthroughout the whole series?
Because that's the L.
Everything gets upgraded, but the dagger?
Or are you just, Also he can't die?

(07:20):
Cause he's died like twice now.
That he got a green mushroom, okay?
I don't know.
He's getting one ups sincehe's like a gang guy.
You, you like this isyou right here, right?
This intro.
You love this intro.

(07:40):
No.
No.
Let me turn it up for you real fast.
Yeah, let's get it.
Let's get it.
Alright.
see what we got here.
Let's get it!
Let's do it!

(08:01):
Oh, he cares about these voice lines.
Why does he look like American Psycho?
Patrick Bateman.
These are the two most bored voiceactors I've heard in my entire life.

(08:22):
They're like, ah, this is a big change.
Ah.
Ha.
Ha.
Ha.
We were talking about howthe Asians love you man.
No wonder I've been tradingplaces with this guy.
He's gotten all my blackness andI've absorbed his Asian ness.
Is that KFC?
Is that KFC?
Yeah.
Come on man, it's Popeyes.
It's Popeyes.
No, it wouldn't Popeyes if itwas orange, the orange thing,

(08:44):
you know what I'm saying?
No, but you gotta get Popeyes, not KFC.
I don't know if they havePopeyes in, in Japan.
They might be too black.
They got a limit over there.
Maybe.
KFC has a white man on it in the box.
I liked it.
It's a ginger ale?
Actually, this, no, whatI take all of that back.
Actually, the person who created this,I'm pretty sure it was like that, one

(09:06):
of those web novel thingies, right?
Those are Korean.
This wasn't a Japanese manga, it waslike one of those Korean web novels.
So Koreans love fried chicken, actually.
Yeah, so during the Korean War,black people were drafted a lot, and
black people do eat fried chicken.
So a little history lesson,they went over to Korea and

(09:28):
showed them how to fry chicken.
Cool.
Yeah, and then a whole bunch of It'salso true some korean, food critics
were like, yeah korea has the bestfried chicken and a british white guy
had to be like because the black peopletaught you right It's if white people
were like we make the best sushi it waslike because you learn from the asians.
Yeah, man What about the california roll?

(09:51):
Come on, bro.
Come on the california roll
Green gulp I see.
He's irish too.
Apparently Nicholas, as an Irishman,do you ever have a green gulp?
No.
Even if you ever had to The Woohoo!
He's

(10:17):
Oh, so he can't get drunk.
That's actually Immunity totoxins and abnormal conditions.
But can you get high?

(10:44):
You know what's weird?
That he can't go into thesettings and look at the manual.
That's I think
Shut the fuck up, I'msix inches taller now.
hahahahaha hahahahahahaha hahahahahaha

(11:14):
I ain't gonna lie, if he's that rich,this man would've been my best friend.
I don't give a fuck.
hahahaha Especially if I'mso poor, that my mom is dying
of cancer cause I need money.
Hello?
And I saved his life, hello?
The whole point of the series, hello?
Give me money My sister needsto pay for college, hello?

(11:37):
See, you're a bitch ass nigga.
Oh, I was right!

(11:58):
My price, a million per dungeon.
I actually really relate to this guy.
I had a very similar conversation with youwhen I was about to date that Asian chick.
I was just so less experienced,that I was like, Nicholas, you
gotta give me some pointers.
I've just fucked him.
I haven't, I'm just saying.
I gotta make sure Idon't mess this up, man.
All right.

(12:21):
He's like a super rich kid.
So I'm like, bro, why don't yoube like, Hey, I saved your life.
Give me some money.
Can you get apparently he's able to,there's some amount of money that
will save his mom because he's like,Oh, the reason she's not alive or
better is because I can't afford it.
Cause this anime don'tcare about his mom, man.
We'll name an anime that does.

(12:43):
It's impossible.
All right.
I All right.
So I'm not gonna act likewe're anime experts here.
But what I will say is that Ihave very rarely see any anime
or Disney project in which themom is like Disney hates parents.
Okay, right exactly.
That's why it took the Incredibles10 years to get a sequel.

(13:03):
They were like, it's a family.
Are you sure about this?
And even then, the movie's abouttheir like, almost getting a divorce.
Are you calling him boss?
Why are you doing that?
I agree with him.
That's weird.
And also, hey, my sisterneeds a college fund.

(13:25):
You know what?
That's what I would do.
Hey, look, pay for her college.
It's 30 billion dollars.
MWUHUHUH Home.
No it's not.
No it's not.
It's cause you haven't doneBro, you're only level 18.

(13:46):
You're not level 120 yet.
You have the potential.
Take the money now, and getthe bigger money later too.
Get both monies.
Bro, this man just turned down 30 birdie.
Make it a hundred.
Oh, he's about to murder this guy?

(14:12):
He's I will kill you right now.
Make it a hundred.
Oh, it's a giant PS5, you sell it?
I don't care what anyone says.

(14:33):
I'm not afraid of someone whowears fur cuff robes He's not evil

(15:06):
You don't know the consequencesof murder The immediate future
then it can wait I don't think youknow what immediate means right

(15:27):
Oh, that's the dude in red in the intro.
Oh, I think he's got the red eye.
It's probably very likely.
Or it's probably because your sister isnow attracted to you, which is really odd.
His sister is attracted to it.

(15:47):
Yes.
Like, why didn't he take the money?
It makes no sense.
And he's oh, sometime like afew years from now, or like in
a year, I could be level 200.
Okay, but what does that haveto do with the fact that you
need as much money as possible?
You would get the money now, and thenalso get whatever combined money that
you would get later on by yourself.
Because I Bro this man makehow far are we into this?

(16:13):
Ten minutes?
Yeah, I told you.
I told you this firstpart is still stupid.
So I'm going to give anotherthe next two to three minutes,
something crazy about to happen,and it'll become interesting again.

(16:38):
To be fair, I feel the same way afteryou had a entire box of chicken.
Not exactly the best timeto start working out.
You can't go farther than that?
That seems like a problem, right?
They got this man to pay to play It'sa pay to play function Pay to win.
And I guess no one else sees thisright well, they didn't see the

(17:02):
other stuff so it's it's possible Oh
Don't do it bro.
Don't do it man

(17:25):
Oh!
The Elixir of Life.
Wow.
Save his mom.
You could save your mom With the money.
With the money.
And then also get this Elixir ofLife and then use it on yourself.

(17:45):
Once you are Okay, so even if youdidn't get this key, weren't you going
to keep Oh, he's gonna do it now.
See, I told you.
In a few minutes, it'sgonna get interesting.
Did I just say this?

(18:06):
But He's only B R A ranked.
That's the issue.
It doesn't actually say whatrank he's leveling up to.
It just says what level he is.
It doesn't actually say what rank he is.
And he's going into an S rank dungeon.
I would at least like Yeah.

(18:29):
Oh.
Oh, so he's so he's get out.
Oh, okay.
That makes a lot more sensewhy he's challenging him.
Okay.
I must have missed that becausethey didn't show it at all.
Hells
Plus it's only episode 7, dude.
You have more to go.
There's this Demon King Academy anime.

(18:51):
And he looks like Anas Voldigoat, whichis like the protagonist of the anime.
A Demon King Academy?
Yeah, something like that.
I'd have to look it up.
Oh, so he's like a Pokemon now.

(19:12):
Heh.
Murderous intent.
It's not very effective.
Alright, what kind of plotarmor are we going to get?
For him to kill this thing.
Me personally, I just thatdoes not seem very armor like.

(19:40):
Oh, wow.
Yeah, so you should havenot have gone in here.
Yeah, because if you knew youwere not S, why would you do
it immediately, like Oh, wow.
And this is not even the

(20:13):
Oh, that's convenient.
And this is just the guard dog.
Yeah, he's not even likethe actual boss to this.

(20:37):
The actual boss is just P.
Diddy.
Wait, why did you go in here?
You knew you were not, youknew you were not S rank.
Oh she's dying.
Okay, but clearly she's stable.
She's not currently, she'slike dying in general.
You know what I mean?
Oh, the old king of thehill pocket saying trick.

(20:57):
That was interesting.
That's not how games usually work.
They actually try to actively kill you.

(21:38):
While he's fighting Cyberus.
I like how he's casually just shoppingwhile he's fighting a demon dog.

(22:01):
Yeah, clearly he's Poison,did you just drink poison?
Oh Because the poison actually heals thembecause he has the reverse on the point.
Okay, that actually was smart I'm gonnagive you that one and it just went

(22:23):
away immediately While you're overthere and Macy's Looking at the clones.
Oh
They had a buffer effect they wore off

(22:57):
Might do it.
He's going to do it.
And then the anime is over, right?
Because then his mom is saved andhis sister gets all the money.
Then that was the objective, right?
Anime's over.
Someone's gonna listen to this and belike, You guys are being too harsh.

(23:18):
Yeah!
Yeah!
This would be a perfect time for theYusei run from My Hero Academia to play.
Ah, the eye, the all important kill shot.
I will say this issignificantly more interesting.

(23:39):
Yeah.
Than the beginning part.
The next time I'm just going toskip the first half in general.
He actually did it.
I mean we knew he was going to, but.

(24:00):
Cool, did I do the election like to savemy mom or was that just a, I don't know.
Or could I just have bought it inthe store if I had enough gold?
Oh,

(24:30):
he has a crafty lecture of life.
You already knew that, man.

(24:50):
Cool.
This is the first episode whereI knew it was about to end.
Yeah, it's a little, it's getting,it's a little predictable now.
Alright, Episode 7, what did you think?
It was alright.
The Decembris fight was prettydope, I'm not gonna lie.
Again, the first half of theseepisodes is essentially useless.

(25:12):
However, I have to givecredit to where credit is due.
It's actually way, way better thanI expected, I ain't gonna lie.
To a significant degree Soyou just hated episode six.
Actually it's becausethe girl wasn't in it.
She hasn't returned his loveinterest has not come back She's
been written out of the show.

(25:33):
I'm ready to give it another chance
A girl from the intro hasnot been in several episodes.
So hey, you know what i'm all good.
