like this, that and the other.
And then like, now he's likesuper powerful, all hot and shit.

And he like grew ten inches.
Like he was like, what, like five, six andnow he's like, Oh yeah, now I'm six, six.

(01:47):
Right.
Yeah.
And it's like.
What?
And also, I Still, my whole thingis like, oh, okay, my power is
to progress through the story.
That's like most storiesthat's supposed to happen.
But I'm the only onethat can do it though.
Right.
This is like That's how the twist goes.
You know who did solo leveling way better?
Goku and Dragon Ball Z.

(02:09):
This is the poor man's Dragon Ball Z.
Super poor.
You know who else did it better?
Who?
Naruto and Naruto.
It's literally thebasic formula for anime.
You know who did it better?
Ichigo and Bleach.
And like literally both animeprotagonists have this ability.
Yeah.

(02:29):
The only difference is now no oneelse can get better, which is kind
of like That just makes it easier.
Right.
You know who also did this better?
Um, what was that?
What was that anime?
Um, the pretentious one?
You know the one I'm talking about.
I don't.
The one where he's really mad.

(02:51):
The Hulk?
No.
The Hulk.
He's mad.
Alright.
Oh, uh.
Name that anime with Nicolas Cage.
The Viking.
Your first hint is The Viking.
He was the Viking and he wasthe little kid and he was mad.
The viking, little kid, and man.
If you have an idea what Nicholasis talking about, send us a mail.
Send us a mail or DM us on Zipfy's.

(03:13):
No, you know what, you were like, uh, um.
He's giving us extra hints here.
No, the thing was, is like, he getskidnapped by the, his dad dies.
In the valley, and he getsshot up with all the arrows.
I'm sure that's so specific,ladies and gentlemen.
And gets kidnapped.
Death, Mad, Anime.

(03:34):
You heard it here, folks, first.
You know what I'm talking about.
You know what, I'm gonna try to guess.
Alright, I'm gonna try to guess.
So, the clues are He's mad.
Uh, his dad is dead.
He's constantly wanting to kill the guy.
Revenge?
This could be a Western, for all I know.
But you said Viking, so Ifeel like it's not a Western.
But, if I took out the Viking part,That would mean it's a, uh, It would

(03:57):
sound like a, uh, A Western Lin Saga.
Ah, ooh.
You didn't let me guess.
You didn't.
Lemme guess.
You know what I was thinking either thator there's like a spinoff of the Magi.
I was like, I think it's one of these two.
Yeah.
Vilin Saga.
Vilin Saga.
Yeah.
Cool.
Vilin Saga.
Did it better.
Well, thank you for playing.
If you , if you were ableto guess he saw on, yeah.
Vilan Saga did did it way better.

(04:18):
And the crazy part is heactually gained no powers.
He just literally just got better.
He just got at fighting.
He just got more traumatized.
Yeah, he didn't have a videogame cheat code to get better.
And also, let me ask you this.
So before this, he wasat a lower power, right?
Right.
It's also kind of And you getborn at this, at this stage.
You don't get any better.

(04:38):
Right, right, right.
So, he was so revolutionary.
He was kind of like skinny though, right?
Yeah.
So like, you know, like in real life, youstarted doing a hundred pushups a day.
You would just become likea better person physically.
I wonder if he did any physical workoutbefore this, would he probably be better?
It's like, okay, I can't get any morepowerful, but it doesn't say I can gain.

(05:00):
I can't gain any more skills.
True.
Like in Vinland Saga, he didn'tbecome more powerful per se.
He just got more and more Viking skillswas better at just killing people.
Right.
Alright, well if you like this,uh, if you like this anime series,
We've just torn through it.

(05:21):
Okay, let's, uh, we're gonnawatch this episode 10 now.
Um, we don't have any of those,those, uh, studio openings, so if
you're watching it online, I see,we see, what are these, rain clouds?
Or it's like some sort of water?
Whatever.
Yeah, it starts at rain clouds.
Rain clouds.
Water frame falling on my head.
Yeah, it's only 23 minutes and 40 seconds.

(05:42):
All right, i'm gonna press play in three
Oh, I already hate this So now she's ona date with him now that he's that guy
and taller than her and better than her

(06:02):
And now he's like sasuke and broodingWhy are you wearing a hoodie?
What like why who are you hiding from bro?
Look how sharp her chin is
I get why they never hooked upnow She's on top of you and she
throws her head the wrong way.
That's it for you.
Stab you in the eye.

(06:23):
Right.
That's
Why do you Like, you think it's niceto say those things, but like, you're
really roasting me all the time.
His chin is kind of sharp too.
They have some really sharp chins in this.

(06:44):
Yeah.
Maybe that's the style of the anime.
Maybe.
It's a sign of their powers.
You can't have The sharper thechin, the higher the level.
The higher the level.
Good.
That's great.

(07:05):
Also, if you're on a date with some chick,why are you in this school shooter hoodie?
I don't know.
With the hood on, by the way.
Maybe he's so famous now, he has to.
Why does his jacket have abelt on the lower side of it?
Why does this jacket have a belt?
I'm not getting off this.
I've never seen thisfashion sense in my life.

(07:26):
Maybe that's Japanese, dude.
That's incorrect.
As an American, that's incorrect Japanese.
We didn't even know what cricket was untilwe all found out we were one of the best
at it a few days ago All right beatingPakistan Apparently, it's one of those
popular sports in the world and we didn'teven know it existed And then we just our
part timers came up and we're the best.

(07:49):
Hey, uh, let's try this.
Hmm, right?
Also, so is that
Oh yeah, yeah, becausethat guy's brother died.

(08:10):
He's like, oh, you probably murdered him.
Yeah, but your brother wasmurdering people too, so I don't
really feel bad for you, dawg.
But I can understandthe confusion, I guess.
Huh?
Huh?

(08:32):
Yeah, you said that two minutesago at the beginning of this scene.
Oh, you mean my one sister?
You know what?
Yeah.
Dude, so Did you change voice actors?
So, S Ranks can justdo whatever they want.

(08:52):
Well, I guess you, cause you can't,uh, you can't really kill them, cause
there's so much, they're unstoppable,so what are you supposed to do?
They're basically gods amongmen, like, you go fight them.
You want to change?
You go do it, bro.
What was that, uh?
You know what, there's a refrigeratorbehind you there, Nicholas.
Why don't you hand me one of thoseliquid death mangoes out of there?
Oh, yeah?
Did you want one?

(09:13):
Um, sure.
There's also a ginger ale in there.
I'll take the ginger ale.
Canada Dry, ladies and gentlemen.
We're not using any, uh, scene enhancers.
I, I don't know if I could handle thisshow on a whole bunch of scene enhancers.
I think this show is enhanced enough.
Heh heh heh heh.
To be, to be fair, thiswas like a Webtoons thing.

(09:36):
And that got popular enough for,you know, it to become an anime.
And I don't have an anime,so, you know, what do I know?
Getcha!
Getcha!
I'm missing it, hold on.

(09:57):
Get up, get up!
What's the ending say?
Oh, it's still going!
You know, it does thatfake out thing I forgot!
Heh, yeah.
It's like, yeah, the song's over!
Psych!
The headlines!
Cheers to Ginger Ale.
Oh, actually, I have a beerfor you if you want it.
I'll have to do that next episode.
A scene enhancer?
You want a real one?

(10:18):
We'll do that next episode.
Cheers?
Cheers.
I have the Mango Chainsaw if I couldgive and like talk about this real
fast while this shit is playing becausethis scene definitely doesn't matter.
Um, as you know, the only partsthat matter are the middle of the
show and then the last half, thebeginning of it's completely useless.

(10:39):
We've already figured that out.
So, Liquid Death, it says Mango Chainsawand But don't drink it if you're thirsty.
Yeah, like, Nicholas and I, this isour first real thing that, uh, It's
not even a soda, it's carbonated water.
That we drank plenty of, but like,it's the, It doesn't cure your thirst.
No.
The carbonation in the water,like, really throws it off.

(11:01):
And I have to be frank.
It makes you thirsty.
Yeah, if I had to be frank, like,A lot of, like, there's some mango
taste, no chainsaw taste at all.
None whatsoever, I was inspecting oil.
Right, I mean, it looks like theywrite it like it's half drunk.
Trust me, I'm from the south, soI know what chainsaw tastes like.
Like, if you drink a lemon lime,I'm like, this is a lemon lime soda.
You don't have any lemon taste in it.

(11:22):
It's just lime, right?
Lemon lime soda, but just with,you know, only lime in it.
There's no lemon taste,it's just, you know.
This is, this is, this is, you shouldshut up and just let them do that.
Right.
Look, all of you are bitch ass pussieswho will slow me down, sit your ass

(11:46):
right the fuck here, you on the crutch.
I invited you because Ithink it's kind of funny.
Stealth.
I'm not gonna lie, if I had the, uh, wait,shouldn't you use it when you get inside?

(12:07):
Just in case there'sa time limit on there?
You don't Oh, oh.
Oh, he just learned it.
This man thinks he's dripped out so hard
There's like when your bro shows upand like new shoes like do what you

(12:29):
think you're like bro are those Shaq's?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, no diddy
What you mean by that
leave him behind do it why

(12:52):
cuz you've no armor Atleast lemme keep the helmets
Why did they wait tillnighttime to do this?
Wasn't it like bright daylight out?

(13:21):
Then why?
Okay, if you actually believethis, how wouldn't you need
to know if they died or not?
Or else would you besitting out there all night?
Right?
How would you know ifthey're cleared under?
There's no radio, would you wait?
Right.
And how is,
wait, so he's an eran, but he'sgot the power of a B rank, right?
Oh, it's only been an hour.

(13:42):
And he said it should'vetook them two hours.
You know who actually, you know what?
I actually know, dude.
I know who they copiedthis fricking anime from.
It was from, uh, I think I told you aboutthat anime I heard of called, uh, Magi?

(14:02):
Yeah.
In Magi, a whole bunch ofdungeons show up out of nowhere.
And if you conquer them, you get powers.
That 10 years ago.
And the main character goes from beinga slave to like this super powerful guy.
Basically who had no abilitiesand then gets all these abilities
as he like conquers dungeons.
You think it's a copy and paste?

(14:25):
Not a copy and paste, but it'slike, it looks, it's like, they
saw that, and it was like, thisneeds to be more Shonen in this.
And then they, they did this.
Don't you have school that I'm paying for?
Can you shut your ass up about theamount of work that I have to do?
You're literally the reasonI have to do all this work.

(14:52):
Bro, if my job was to sit there andshut the fuck up while I get money, You
wouldn't catch me missing a day for it.
I'll come in on my days off.
Damn man.
Yes.

(15:12):
No, dig.
Just,

(15:43):
and with my increased wrist skill.
Why is this man dressedlike he has, he's Russian.
It was like a Dina's sweatsuit on.
And I'd be like, hey, um, did thatjust fabricate out of thin air?

(16:04):
How did you just do that?
Do you, I think you, I think you'redoing something that I don't know.
You think he's ever going towear some armor or anything?
No, no.
That would, that would,that would be good.
They're not going to do that.
Oh.
This hoodie, this same hoodie,this is his character outfit.

(16:24):
You never see Charlie Brownwear like a plaid shirt, do you?
A job change quest, what'd you say?
You've never seen Charlie Blad uh, Brad.
Charlie Brown wear a plaid shirt, right?
This is his, you know, brownshirt with a squiggle on it.
That's what he wears.

(17:08):
So, here's a real question.
You said you never heard ofthem, but obviously their last
name is, like, what do you mean?
How is this guy more famousthan the other guy who's a multi
billionaire who's a son of a multibillionaire that everyone knows?
And you guys supposedlywork in the same industry.
And he's the top honcho, butyou don't know who he is.

(17:30):
There's a top honcho son that's takingover his apart his, like, company.
You don't know who that is, butyou know who the weakest guy is.
That doesn't make any sense at all.

(17:58):
Then shut your bitch ass up!
Stop looking at me!
Right.
What do you want?
I'm doing all the work!
Right, stop looking at me like that!
Do you not want to get paid?
We can arrange that.
If it's a big deal to you.

(18:36):
And again, the whole premiseof the show is, what?
That they can't level up?
Right.
But then there's a whole thingin there, like, oh, people
can actually, uh, reawaken.
Okay, well then, guess what?
That doesn't make any sense.
But it's super rare, though.
Okay, it's just as rare as beingborn into a rich family, but how many
rich people are there in this world?
Okay, thank you.

(18:58):
Yeah, it's 1 percent of the population.
But there's still a lot of people.
Enough to where you can't justbe like, oh, it never happens.
Right.
You don't know what a gate looks like?
You work at a gate facilityplace with the heroes?
You don't need a gate?
And it's your fucking job.

(19:18):
Who are you?
What is going on?
He could be Wumbo.

(19:57):
Well, I guess, I'm not really,I'm not really asking you.
Wait, I'm not doing that tomorrow.

(20:22):
What's going on?
Fire, I guess.
This is cool.
Ten dollars this isn't ascool as it actually looks.
And they ruined it.
Ten dollars.
Want to take a bet?
Yeah.
It's a dream.

(20:43):
Yeah.
Yeah, probably something of the past.
Probably some memory of his.
But here's the issue.
They clearly hired a differentstudio to animate that part.
Because that was like someCastlevania dummy cool looking stuff.
Yep.
And how many people nowadays arejust like, Oh, the animation's cool.
That's why this is my favorite anime.
It's like the pro.

(21:04):
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's like, now it's Of Jiju Island?
That's the I Nicholas, if I everdie in a place called Jiju Island,
just tell them it was I died inNashville eating a hot chicken wing.
That would be less embarrassing.

(21:28):
White Tigers, isn't that guytrying to be a Power Ranger?
Right?
We made him wait outside.
Is this the same booth you werejust in like a few episodes ago?
No?

(21:51):
It is the exact same, yeahit's the exact same place.
He's gonna tell you to go fuck yourself.
Bruh,

(22:14):
Amazon does way better than thatand you guys have alien dungeons?
Bruh.
I'm that kind of guy.

(22:55):
No!
Yeah, he said, you're broke.

(23:15):
Hey o!
Do I have

(23:43):
to kill this guy?

(24:08):
Wait, is the guy outside controlling him?

(24:57):
Why do you know the valueof a shopping channel?
Right.

(25:35):
But it's already 9pm.
How am I supposed to do that?
Huh?
Huh?
Wait, what?
What?
What's up, Harvey Weinstein?
Oh!
What is going on, bro?
What did you just
That was a potion.

(25:56):
Nah, dawg.
I can't close my eyes, open my mouth,and you pour some liquid in there.
Okay.

(26:28):
So when does this episode get good?
I thought it was halfway through.
Oh, he

(26:58):
made more gates?
How is that possible?
How did you know therewould be more gates?

(27:29):
How is he relieved about this?
I'm so confused.
Okay, now there's a bunch of sea gates.
Did they get rid of all their gates?
I don't think so.
They only treat three of them, right?
Even though they bought up all the rest.
They were only going to get three gatesand they were going to take the rest.
That's what he said.
They were supposed to only get three.
But now there's so many gates,they didn't need to buy any.
So how was that even possible?

(27:49):
How would you know thatthis happens before, bro?
And then, of course, the episode ends.
Oh, my gosh.
So this was like a filler episode.
I this episode probably got it done inlike one or two scenes where this videos.
I know your secret.
You do, I'll kill you if you say anything.

(28:09):
Okay, then I won't tell anyone.
And then that's it.
Right, hehehehehehe.
That was, that was the important part.
Hehehehehe.
Did I just waste 20minutes of my life on this?
Oh my god.
Ah.
Ah.
Ah.
I'm like watching the end creditshoping something changes, but it won't.

(28:30):
It won't change, will it?
It will not change anything, DJ.
God.
Alright guys, well thishas been episode 10.
Heh heh heh heh.
What did you think, DJ?
You know,
I would say this was a waste of time.
That was my initial reaction, but nowthat I think about it, This wasn't

(28:53):
really a waste of time because Iwanted to drink this liquid death
anyway Right, so only because of theliquid death is it not a waste of time?
I mean, yeah, I want I wanted to do this.
Anyway, I went to have a drink ofwater today anyway, so, you know
Hey Actually a goal of mine gotaccomplished so You know, hey you gotta

(29:14):
Take the wins No matter how small.
Uh, I feel like this, I feel like theactual webcomic this based off, which
I have not read and I probably willnever will, is probably like really
more like 5 episodes long, and theybecause like most animes come out in
like 12 and like 24 episode lengths,they just had to make it 12 somehow.

(29:38):
I feel like, um, most of the thingsthat have happened, like that
are important could have happenedlike the first couple of episodes.
Well, the thing is, is also like, sothere's, there's levels of filler, right?
There's filler episodesof anime that have that.
Improve the characterdevelopment of the anime, right?
And then there's some filler episodesthat just almost have almost nothing to

(30:00):
do with the show So this is the reasonwhy people like naruto so much is because
naruto's filler episodes Or actuallythey're kind of good like and I mean
like there's a lot of filler but likesomeone makes you have purposes Yeah a
lot of a lot of a lot of the anime likewhat I'm going to do is watch all the
filler and then watch the Series againon the second channel called Louisiana

(30:23):
Senpai starring only Nicholas And thenyou then you'll see all the character.
I'll see all the characterdevelopment See, 'cause I feel like,
what was his name?
Ky Maru.
Mm-Hmm.
teacher when he died.
Asima.
Asima.
Right.
There was a whole filler arc beforethat happened that, 'cause I honestly,

(30:44):
I wasn't really that invested in Asima,but then after this fill arc with him,
I was like, dude, Osama was awesome.
Osama was great, and then he died.
So then when he died.
I felt more impacted by it,but even though it was filler
it was filler for a reason.
Right.
This filler feels like it's here becauseI have to make it to 12 episodes.
It's a contractual obligationto make 12 episodes.

(31:07):
You know what?
I think I'm gonna need thatscene enhancer for the next one.
All right guys, that's it for 7 Senpais.
I'm DJ.
I'm Nicholas.
And we'll see you later.
See ya.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration.

From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero.
