Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
What up, gang?
Let's talk about UndeadUnlocked Now.
I'm gonna be honest with you.
It was some time ago, but, um,it's been a while since Undead
Unlocked has been out and Ihonestly wanted to get around to

(00:24):
review it, but for some reasonI just kept forgetting about it
up until kopegasu here mentionedthat he wants to do a review on
it and I'm like, wait, hold on,I want to review it too.
Uh, well, I wanted to watch itand then determine if I want to
review it.
So I watched it.
Here we are now, let's go aheadand get into it.
So it stars fuko izumo, who's an18 year old girl who, living in

(00:48):
seclusion for 10 years since anincident that left more than
200 people dead, including herparents, when she was eight
years old.
Following a completion of herfavorite long-running shoujo
manga series, fruko decides tocommit suicide, but, uh, she's
tormented by the fact that herunluck ability brings bad luck

(01:11):
to anyone she directly comesinto contact with, and she soon
meets a undead man who has thisamazing regenerative abilities
and who desires to die the bestdeath possible, disliking his
immortal life.
So, for the sake of convenience, fruko names him Andy, because
he is undead and he can reallygo by that name for a while, but

(01:37):
that can be explained later andthey begin working together.
However, they soon seethemselves being chased by the
Union, a mysterious organization.
Eventually, an assassin of theUnion called Shin tells them
that the organization has aspecial team consisting of 10
people with special abilitiesand that by joining the team,

(01:59):
they will no longer be hunted.
So the two decide to join inorder to attain Andy's wish for
the best death and face numerousenemies and mysteries of the
world.
The missions of the team areproposed by a book called
Apocalypse, which hassupernatural powers.
There are people with theability to negate the rules of

(02:21):
the world, called negators.
The union is an organization ofnegators specialized in the
hunting of Y world.
Called negators, the union isan organization of negators
specialized in the hunting ofYuma, or unidentified and
mysterious animals.
But they're not even they don'teven look like animals, anyways
creatures that are theembodiment of the earth's rules,
such as thirst and decay, andthey are created by God as both

(02:41):
the objectives for the questprovided by Apocalypse as well
as punishment for failing them.
They must also defeat A groupof negators that opposes the
union cult Under and regulatorsbeing told them to do God's
bidding Now.
First of all, can I just sayFrupa has a fairly nice rap
Because she hurts her body, butshe seems blessed for two

(03:04):
reasons.
And secondly, she had a lot ofhair under her beanie until andy
gave her a haircut, which Ifound, uh, it makes sense, but
I'm like, damn, that's a lot ofhair rapunzel.
So the more fuko likes theperson, the worse her unluck
will be.
So if a kiss can summon ameteor, andy figured that sex

(03:26):
will be the key for thisultimate death.
So I'm like I mean, I doappreciate that andy's being a
gentleman, um, about hisapproach where it's like, yeah,
he kind of brought it up, butI'm like, all right, well, you
know, I'll take it slow, youknow, but uh, from Jokes aside,
it has an Intriguing powersystem and tactical Battles.

(03:49):
I saw a bunch Of references likeSpongebob, dragon Ball, final
Fantasy and Star Wars references.
And it has this secondPersonality, victor, when the
Card in his forehead is removed.
And it's sad how a few Of themain cast share a tragic Story
of how their powers caused thedeath of their families, which

(04:10):
traumatized them into desiringdeath.
Billy turns out to be theleader of Under the negator
hunters seeking revenge on theworld, and he betrays the Union
and steals the round table, butthey get the table back.
But uh, it was like no, no, no,they got Apocalypse.
No, they got it back and stealsthe round table, but they get
the table back.
But uh, no, no, no, they gotApocalypse, they got it back.
I'm Details getting kind ofjumbled up, honestly, and I like

(04:35):
how Fuku's favorite Manga playsa factor in this story,
including the fact that theyhave to hunt down the author of
Anu, who goes by Akira Kuno orsomething like that, before we
go any further.
Koki Gatsu, how do you feelabout Undead Unlocked?

(04:55):
What made you want to reviewthis one?

Speaker 2 (04:58):
it just was so good to watch, like it was so
entertaining, because, look,okay, so I know I've been
working on these other littlesolo reviews and if, when you
guys listen to it, you'll behearing me say a lot that hulu
just keeps recommending to meisekai and it's isekai after
isekai, and I was like, oh mygod, I need something different,
please something different.
And then I came across undeadunlock.

(05:19):
Now the thing about it is thisis that, yeah, so the anime was
in 2023.
The manga was a few yearsbefore.
I remember seeing coming acrossthe manga when I was like, uh,
what was?
I think it's at my publiclibrary and somebody had donated
the manga, had donated a couplebooks of the manga to the um,
to the library.
So I was like, you know what?

(05:39):
Sure I'll give it a try.
And so I checked out the firstbook and kept reading and I was
mad that I never finished itbecause I was like no, but it
was just entertaining, like it'sjust stupid funny, and it just
kind of went back to because youknow, we watch so many anime
now that has great storylines toit, but they're always so
serious.
Every now and again you havesome funny moments but and it's

(06:02):
like we just jump right intoisekai, everything now, and I'm
just like, oh, my god, it can besomething else.
Can we go back?
So it felt like going back tothe old school funny animes.
That was their own originalstory.
It's not an isekai, it's notreincarnated to another world
type of thing, and I'm like,thank god, something different.
And so it was just entertaining.

(06:22):
Like that's pretty much.
The main thing that got me intoit is that I enjoyed the story.
Um, I enjoyed the characters.
You know andy and his uh, Iguess not, I mean, you've
already kind of got far enoughbut his alternate personality,
victor, like victor, was justdope, to be honest with you.
But and I love how creativethey are, because you see, in a

(06:44):
lot of times where some of thebest anime that I've ever
watched and best manga I've everread is always the point of
somebody has the most simpleability but they use it in such
creative ways and that's whatlike becomes the biggest thing.
Like you see, some other one,um, I cannot remember the name
of the anime, but the anime iswhere the kid, the main

(07:06):
character, his power, seemssuper weak, like there's nothing
there and what his ability is?
He can turn trash into trees.
And you're just like, yeah.
And so people just like pick onabout it, like, oh, it's like
the dumbest power, but it's like, oh, he made it work.
You know, he made that anability to use.
He was very creative andstrategic how he does it.

(07:28):
And you know you got some oneswhere it's like, oh, they have,
um, oh, my magic healing abilityis just that heal, which you
know which one I'm about, I'mtalking about anyway, his magic
ability is to heal.
But every time he heals someonehe steals, like their ability
not well, not steals, but hekind of copies their ability
because to properly heal them hejust kind of gets their
additional thing and stuff.

(07:49):
So I was like, oh, okay, cool,that sounds pretty interesting.
That sounds like you knowyou're being creative on how
just to be able to learn andkind of do different stuff.
And so andy was like, oh, Ican't die, I just magically
regenerate.
But I can create different waysthat I regenerate.
If I regenerate my finger andlike, hold the regeneration, I

(08:10):
can create a bullet with myfinger, but I hold the
regeneration of my legs, I canjust keep projecting blood
flying like a rocket through thesky.
It's like just the mostcreative ways of doing so and
then he believes in his ownlimitation, yeah.
And then, like andy really hadhis own limitation because he

(08:32):
thought that, oh okay, well,I've never lost my head before.
That might be the only thingthat kills me per se, like I've
had it damaged, but I never lostmy head before.
So if I lose my head, thatmight be why it is that I will
um, that might be what it isthat kills me, type of thing,
and not realizing that, no,you're literally just purely
immortal.
Sorry, your head can getsloshed to a bunch of pieces and

(08:55):
it makes no difference.
Never even thought about thewhole cloning thing.
It's like victor.
That's what made victor myfavorite character is the fact
that, like he was like, oh no, Iuse my immortality to his
utmost potential.
I create clones of myselfbecause I command them to
regenerate and then I can chooseto discipline them.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
Spider-Man Venom dynamic, where Spider-Man he
doing his daring do against thevillains up until he encounters
Venom for the first time andvenom has a similar power set,
except venom's caliber isstronger, to where his webbing
and what nice like strongerbecause he's like he's built to

(09:36):
have more power and strength,while uh, spider-man is more the
athletic type, like not, I meanspider-man is pretty strong,
but venom you can just tell likehe.
Just it's almost like watchingdriving ball and you know the
sayings.
But then they go up againstbroly and like as far, like as

(09:57):
far as I remember, because,aside from that, maybe the um
training session that they hadduring dragon ball, super, super
hero, like I don't recall them.
Well, shit, my bad.
Uh, the uncanned inversion wasbeat by goku.
Uh, the canon versiontechnically didn't lose, it's

(10:20):
more like t-lock, just beingthem to another plan, so he
doesn't die.
So it's like, oh well, he wason the road but he didn't lose.
It's more like t-lock justbeamed him to another planet, so
he doesn't die.
So it's like, oh well, he wason the road but he didn't lose.
It's more like, hey, yo, let'scut this out, but uh, yeah, like
broly, where it's like he'salso a saiyan, but he's so much
stronger that he really givenour heroes a run for their money

(10:42):
.
So that's why I kind of likefeaturing that aspect too with
the blood blaze.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
That's why I kind of like, too, where not only did it
remind me of blood bending fromavatar, but also reminded me of
we're gonna review later onthis year dead man wonderland so
that's the thing for me is like, yeah, like I love seeing power
systems of people not abusingtheir powers, but like being

(11:07):
creative out of the box, likereally kind of thinking of
different ways of doing stuff.
That's what really gives meinto an anime when I'm just like
OK, that's a very simple one,like I did a review on to
realistic hero and realistichero or him, he's not like a
power, he doesn't use his powersin like a fighting way, though
he could.
It's ideally.

(11:27):
His powers is like poltergeist.
He's able to copy hisconsciousness into inanimate
objects and so they're acting asif he's there writing it
himself, and he can do it tolike multiple objects at a time,
all at the same time.
You would see a system likethat in a fighting anime where
it's like, oh, this person isable to draw multiple swords and

(11:48):
it's like I'm fighting him, I'mwatching him, but it's like I'm
fighting three of him and I'mhitting these other swords, so
you can see the personstruggling because it feels like
he's going to jump like afour-on-one fight type of thing.
But then our protagonist inthat that way he doesn't do it,
that way he actually winds updoing it to handle paperwork.
He's like, and I was like, ohwait, that's actually true.

(12:10):
And then it's the exact same wayas the shadow clone jutsu works
in the manga, and I have tostress that because they don't
showcase the shadow clonejutsu's full abilities in the
anime like it should, until youget to sheep with him, which we
are currently reviewing.
But so whatever happens in theshadow clones, a shadow clone
could go and learn something,and when they disappear, all of

(12:34):
that knowledge goes straight tothe user as if they were there
learning it themselves.
It's like, whatever the shadowclone does, it happens
technically to you as well too.
So you want to take a shadowclone to go learn a third
language, second language orthird language when that shadow
clone dissipates,congratulations, you now have
learned that language, becauseshadow clone did type of thing.

(12:56):
And it's the same way that itworks out for that hero's
culture, guys.
It's the fact that if wait,wait, wait, wait.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
Uh, yeah, wait, hold on, wait, finish what you gotta
say, but hurry up because I gotsomething to talk about all
right.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
Well, yeah, so this is so.
With the poltergeist, it's thesame way.
If he hadn't creates like amagic hand that's, uh, on a book
and it's going through, thehand could scan across the book
and it's like him reading it.
So it's like he's gainingknowledge as the hand is doing
something, as the inanimateobject is doing what it does.
That's all that was finishingup.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
I want to talk about the humans.
I want to talk about the humansbecause art in this anime, in
this manga series, in this story, 98 times well as of when Andy
and Pucco joined the union 98occasions when rules were added
to the world, and I think it'sfucking crazy how, if it wasn't

(13:59):
for these Yumas, the worldwouldn't have what they have
like seasons, death languages,like you said, where they can
like, blend the languages.
Now the galaxy.
That was the crazy part for me.
You mean to tell me earth wasthe only planet until Yuma
galaxy?

Speaker 2 (14:21):
earth wasn't even a planet.
It was the only plane ofexistence until Yuma galaxy.
No, that's.
Earth wasn't even a planet.
It was the only plane ofexistence until Human Galaxy.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
No, that's what makes it kind of crazy and it's like
stupid, but in a funny way,because you know it's an action
comedy series.
I consider it an action comedyseries based on the blend of
action and comedy that's in it,so like as an action comedy
series.
It's stupid enough to where itworks, but it also pisses me off

(14:48):
because of the implications,because not just Human Galaxy
but all the other things.
Like you mean to tell me nohuman died until you must spoil
or whoever came into the picture, and now people can die.
You mean to tell me that peopledidn't have this and the third,
until this Yuma showed up.
I'm like we didn't even haveseasons until Yuma, autumn and

(15:11):
all that showed up.
You mean to tell me oh, my God,it made me so mad, but I can't
be too mad at it because that'swhat it is.
It's like that's what it'ssupposed to be on.
Okay for this story, it'sfine's what it's supposed to be
on.
Okay for this story, it's fine,but I hate it I can understand
that.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
I can definitely understand.
I mean, look, even going alittle bit further into it you
mentioned as far as into theseasons, into it, dude but one
it's like, imagine, like insidejob, when we did review into
that one.
It's like, oh, what, everythingthat people thought was real,
well, most of what peoplethought, like those uh, special
thought processes, you're like,oh, it's like, that's not real,
that's just a rumor.

(15:48):
It's just like I forgot whatthe term is, but you know what I
mean and it's like that's not,that's not real.
It's like, no, what are theflat theories?
Serious theorist?
So it's like, hey, the flatearth theory was real until uma
galaxy.
Hey, hey, the fact thateveryone speaks the same
language.
It's like, oh, that whole Towerof Babel.
Yeah, they were building atower.

(16:09):
Then all of a sudden, the UmaDufu language shows up and then
everyone speaks.
They failed to collect it.
So, oh, punishment, everyonenow speaks different languages.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
And you're like what?
It was a reward, like I mean,the thing was that's the crazy
part.
That's the crazy part.
It was set up to be a rewardbut it was at a detriment to the
next mission.
When they came up againstunrepairing and under to where
it was like, oh shit, like itjust made things more
complicated, oh yeah, yeah,because the reward is that
everyone can now speak the samelanguage when they collect it.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
I'm talking languages .

Speaker 1 (16:50):
It was a punishment until they finally were able to
get that reward later.
So now, yeah, now you see whatI'm saying, like the implication
that wait a minute.
So you need to tell me thatbefore this yuma for this reward
, it worked differently, likeyeah and then, like victor shows
up, hey, what's that, what dayis it?

Speaker 2 (17:07):
and's like what do you mean, what day?
And he explains into it.
He says, ok, but what year?
You're like what are youtalking about?
Oh, so years don't exist yet.
Ok, gotcha.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
And I was like wait what?

Speaker 2 (17:17):
What do you mean?
What?

Speaker 1 (17:18):
do you mean there's?

Speaker 2 (17:19):
no year yet Hold on a second.
Don't make sense.
Say that again.
What's going on?
So that again what's going on.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
so I said that doesn't make sense, and then
they explained it later on.
You're like what I mean, ifthere were no years and whatnot?
It's like, how old are youpeople as we are?
That's what makes me reallycrazy, like so I mean, it's one
thing with andy.
They're saying that, okay, helived for at least hundreds of
years, if not thousands, but I'mlike thinking, how old are the
rest of?

Speaker 2 (17:52):
y'all.
That's the real question rightthere, because you know, girls
like she's oh, I've existed inmultiple previous timelines and
you're like there's differenttimelines too.
Yeah, you're like, wait,there's different timelines too.

Speaker 1 (18:07):
Yeah, you're like wait, there's different
timelines too, Okay, let me talkabout juice for a minute,
because that's another thing Iwant to talk about, like, first
of all, I like how?
Design alone.
Am I the only one thinking whydoes this bitch look like she's
a Female?
Am I the only one thinking that?
Second of all, Second of all, I, second of all, I kind of like

(18:31):
her ability.
Unjustice where I'm like okay,that was interesting, especially
the way it was being used.
Where, like, oh, whatever yoursense of justice is, I'm just
going to negate that it's wrong.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
Your justice is wrong , yeah that's just negator
abilities are just beyond brokenin itself.
Look billy's one.
So here's one I do want to be achance to talk about.
Billy's ability is betterexplained in the manga than it
is in the anime.
This is the thing.
So his ability unfair.
So remember, we used to thinkthat his ability was, oh, he's

(19:06):
blind and but whatever he thinksabout his target should be, he
shoots his gun and it will justmagically ricochet and get there
and you're like that's kind ofa messed up ability.
You're like you doggone, deadshot, but you blind.
That's actually pretty wild andcrazy.
Then you find out, oh no, I'mnot blind, that was actually

(19:26):
just a thing I put on myself outof crazy.
Then you find out, oh no, I'mnot blind, that was actually
just a thing I put on myself.
Wait what?
Oh yeah, my ability is actuallyunfair.
I can steal other people'sabilities, but this is important
to understand.
Remember the whole othernegator group, the ones that
were actually out for revengetype thing, that they had their
own plan of how they wanted tohandle out the next time reset
is the fact that, um, billy'sability, he doesn't take their

(19:48):
abilities like that.
He doesn't do that.
And you're like I wonder why hedoesn't take it.
So is it better explained inthe manga?
He's only able to take yourability if you see him as a
threat.
That's why he was in the group.
He didn't get that ability takenbecause they saw him as an ally

(20:09):
, but as soon as they realizedthat he was a traitor and as a
threat, he instantly startedtaking their abilities like it
was nothing, like immediately.
And I'm like, oh, that's someAizen level nonsense, because,
remember, aizen's ability is youcan't actually fall for his
bunk.

Speaker 1 (20:25):
No, it doesn't help that you get the glasses and
everything looking like fuckingAizen.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
Exactly exactly.
But see, the thing aboutAizen's ability is that you have
to see him awaken his Shikai tofall for his bunkai and you're
just like, oh.
And you would think, oh, okay,so if I never saw you awaken
your Shikai, then I ain't gottaworry about nothing.
But he doesn't tell nobody that, of course.
So you watch him awaken hisShikai as you're getting

(20:53):
prepared for the fight.
Because Japanese honor remember,that's one of the biggest
things about it, why it is ananime, why is it that they
always sit here and watch peopledo their transformations and
always do this is not just aGoku thing.
It is considered Japanesetraditional armor oh, not armor
honor all the way back from thesamurai era.
You don't attack an enemythat's not prepared.

(21:14):
You wait until they're prepared, and that way you have an
honorable battle.
So you're supposed to wait forthem to get to their strongest
form.
Then you and your strongest andit's like my strongest takes
your strongest, and that's howwe have an honorable battle.
If you do anything other thanthat, then you're just like a
shinobi who does underhandedtactics.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
That's actually the reason we always see that that's
trying to remind me of thewhole situation.
Like would that explain the?
I mean I'm going to say likeJapanese samurai honorable.
It's weird that you're sayingthat, because it just makes me
think of Vegeta from the Cellsaga, where he just let Cell get

(21:56):
to his perfect form because hewants to fight someone that's
like at least as strong as Goku.
He was looking for thatchallenge, so it was like
outside of the culture whereyou're like, like.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
Why would you do that though?

Speaker 1 (22:11):
yeah, like I, it's like when you put it like that,
now I can understand vegeta alittle bit better, but still,
though, like why, like you're indanger, the whole world, this
whole, uh, proper challenge,like that's not the first, never
but that's the samurai honorway You're supposed to do that.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
Believe me, I actually recently found that out
.
Last week, I was doing a lot ofresearch on a lot of different
samurai Stuff something I'mplanning on Doing later on but
because Of that, I was like wait, that actually makes sense,
because Akira Toriyama actuallyloves samurai and that's the
reason why he Yajirobe, was oneof his favorite characters in
the dragon ball manga and why isit, your envy that part.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
I almost didn't tell you before that I would do it
right.

Speaker 2 (22:59):
But yeah, so it's the samurai honor.
It's like this whole honorsystem that's there in in japan.
That's the reason why we alwayshave to wait for everyone's
final transformation before theyfinally engage in battle and
why it is when you see certainanime where they hit them
outside of that, it's like, oh,everyone else is a world.
It's about time.
In Japan you're like, oh, thatwas kind of dirty.

(23:20):
Only an anti-hero would do that, only a villain would do that.
That's also the reason whypeople hated Eren.
Eren didn't let Dude turn intohis titan form.
Before he socked him in the jaw.

Speaker 1 (23:31):
He said nope fuck, you think this is Dragon Ball Z
get out of here exactly.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
So it's actually.
It was real funny when Ilearned that.
I was just like, wow, thatactually makes a lot more sense
on all this anime anyway.
But, yes, that's what goes onfor Billy is the fact that you
have actually makes a lot moresense on all this anime, anyway,
that's what goes on for Billyis the fact that you have to
actually you have to perceivehim as a threat.
So once you thought he was athreat and you're like, oh, I
gotta take you down, as soon asthat point you was like, oh,

(24:00):
fell for my trap again.
Now I can take all of yourabilities.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
You activated my trap card.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
It's like what was the same um seven deadly sins,
right?
It was like oh, if you want tokill me, then you can't attack
me.
His commandment.

Speaker 1 (24:17):
It was like, oh, the commandment of love well, I know
you're talking about damn, Iforgot his name.

Speaker 2 (24:25):
I can't remember his name because it's not even his
real name either.
That's the bad part about it.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
I just call him wannabe Meliodas, because he was
really trying to be likeMeliodas and that was crazy when
you understand the truth intothat.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
But anyway, asterosa, asterosa's ability is like if
you perceive him as a threat andwant to kill him, then all of a
sudden you can't do anything.
All of your you're just likestuck.
And that's why eskimo he's likewhy would I be threatened or be
afraid, why would I want to you?

Speaker 1 (24:58):
know he said um why would I uh hate someone who's
clearly weaker than me?

Speaker 2 (25:04):
I only pay that part exactly yes, because it's like,
yeah, love and hate, that's whatit was.
So it's the same thing forBilly.
He's like oh, yeah, you want tokill Me now, congratulations.
I now have your Abilities andit's like what.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
That is crazy.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
It's like the Word the most Cheating Stealing card.
I could never have that ability.
I'd be like nah, bro, that's.
That's a straight up villain.
I can't, oh, but he wants tosave the world.
He's not a true villain, he'sthe villain of the series, but
he still wants to save the world.

(25:41):
He's like you failed a hundredtimes.
It's the hundredth time thatthe world has been reset and
you're still failing, so maybe Ineed to do something different.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
In other words, it's like he's trying to take things
into his own hands, because theway Julius and the union is
trying to do it is just notworking.
It just keeps repeating overand over.
That's another thing.
That's crazy to me to where Ialmost kind of like the idea of
what if in reality we all die?
End of the world, end of theuniverse, and it's kind of like

(26:12):
that one Futurama episode whereit just restarts and everything
that happens just restarts likeplays out all over again.
Maybe it may play outdifferently or maybe it play out
exactly the same.
That's probably what explainswhy we have things like deja vu,

(26:32):
to where you have these falsememories of things that you
don't actually have experiencein.
So it's almost like youexperienced it before but you
didn't.
But that's probably becauseyou're on another timeline where
the same thing happened, butfor some reason you remember it.
Yeah, um, sick and crazy andundead, unlock really.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
But oh, yeah, I also like how in multiverse I've had
this explained um their ownversion of this as well, too
when the other timelines,instead of like an undead unlock
, where the other timelinesfinished and it just kept
resetting, in Multiverse ofMadness, all the other timelines
are still currently happening.
So, like your Deja Vu that youmentioned, you have a Deja Vu
moment.
I could have sworn thisactually happened, but it didn't

(27:25):
happen.
This exact same way and it'slike oh, you connected to
another timeline and in anothertimeline it happened the way
that you're remembering ithappened and that's why you feel
that way, because you're justlike See.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
That's why, with some easy-to-tie anime, for some
reason you have a new life, butyou still have your old memories
.
That part.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
And so you're just like what?
And so imagine my surprise onceyou got to the timeline thing.
Understand by that point I wasmad a little bit because I'm
like don't go to hulu.
I thought you finally suggestedsomething to me.
That wasn't the easy kind.
Now I'm finding out technicallyit's another easter guy died
and reincarnated into anotherworld.

(28:05):
That's this technically, it's anew timeline.
That's technically still anisekai.
Oh you lame, you got me goodnow I do want to mention this.
There's also some um that Iwould say.
I highly recommend reading themanga, like I do like the anime.
The anime is fun to watch,excellent anime to watch.

(28:26):
But read the manga Becausethere are so many fights that
are cut From here.
So imagine this.
Imagine having the anime.
We're only following Andy andFuuka, so remember how they come
around the round table andthey're like, oh okay, so these
other negators Of the unionHandled this particular

(28:47):
situation.
It's the capture of Uma Byrnesuccessful and things like that,
right.
And they're just like, oh okay,so they handled it behind the
scenes.
In the manga there was nobehind the scenes.
We watched them actually do it.
They cut so many fights.
So many fights are cut from themanga into the anime, cut from

(29:09):
the anime, and I'm like, no,some of those fights were
actually really good and thecharacter designs.
You know, you never see Umaburn except later on when Billy
decides to reawaken him.
No, we actually get to see burnahead of time.
We get to see him actuallycausing destruction and then

(29:29):
people fighting him.
I'm like come on, man, whywould you cut that?
Why would you cut that?
Why would you do this?

Speaker 1 (29:37):
I mean the more, yeah that, and the more I've watched
anime, where, once again, goingback to Deadman Wonderland,
that would be the one anime thatbroke me as far, as Sometimes
reading the manga Is for thebest Versus Watching the anime.

(29:58):
I mean, I still like the animein a way.
It's just that it just pissedme off that not only Did they
Not continue where they left off, but they cut out a lot Of shit
that was supposed to play outBefore the end of the anime.
So that's why, yeah, I can kindof understand To where the

(30:20):
anime Can be great and all, butI don't know, it's like mixed
feelings, to where you want theanime to be one for one with the
manga, be very faithful to themanga, but then again it's like
isn't these stories dependent onmanga sales?

(30:42):
So I would say that with manga,it's like the animation detract
too much from the manga.
In fact, the animation detracttoo much from the manga.
In fact, the animation servesas a companion to the manga.
So that way the animeencourages people to read the
manga.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
Ideally, but some people don't like to read, so
you know.

Speaker 1 (31:02):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying, Because some people
don't like to read that, butthat's kind of the point of why
they're doing it to.
It encourages people to readthe manga, because manga sales
will probably be so good thatmaybe, if it does well enough,
you'll get more anime seasons.

Speaker 2 (31:19):
Yeah, this is true.
That's why I say I'm reallyhoping there might be an
additional season for the series.
Technically it's finished, buttechnically also not finished,
Because there's more that couldcome on for the series
technically is finished buttechnically and also not
finished.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
Yeah, because there's more that could come on first
of all I thought it was gonna be12 episodes like I felt like
the way it was sounding like, uh, it sounded like there was like
12 episodes per season and wejust happened to have, um,
season one and two max togetherwhen we were watching on Hulu
and whatnot.
But honestly, it didn't feellike two separate seasons.

(31:51):
It felt like one big 24-episodeseason and I'm like, okay, cool
, cool, cool.
But even then the last episodeit didn't even feel like a
finale.
It's like I'm just kind ofwaiting for the next season at
this point.
Like where's the next season?
Yeah, but unfortunately theremight not be one.

(32:13):
Like I was really hoping, butthen, after looking into it,
there's a chance it might not beone.
Oh, you know, that's crazybecause, uh, david production
was working on this one and I'mlike, wait, there's something
new here, don't they work onjojo's?
And I'm like, oh well, shit, uh, we probably not gonna get
undead a lot of times becausethey're working on steel fall
one.
So like we're probably notgonna get any time soon.
So go ahead and read definitely, definitely like.

Speaker 2 (32:37):
I highly encourage it , but the anime is still really
good it's.
It's one of those ones that ithelped me go back to read the
manga again.
I was like, yeah, you're gonnago back and read it and so, um,
I really want to talk about,like.
Look, I already mentionedVictor is my favorite character,
but Victor, when he showed up,it was going down for real All

(32:59):
of a sudden.
The way he got first introducedand it was like, oh okay, so
what's going on is that theywind up coming against this Uma
Spoil who's rotting and causingpeople to become zombies and
stuff so then, all of a sudden,you know they can't fight him,
like they're trying.
Shin is doing what he can.
They didn't already steppedinto the territory so they only
have a certain amount of timebefore they start rotting and

(33:19):
dying.
And it's like okay, so we gotto figure this out, there's got
to be a way to extend our timeand stuff like that.
And then then all of a suddenit gets to the point that Andy's
like look, I'm not going to beable to fight, we can't do this.
And so Shane is like look, I'mgoing to need you to awaken the
victory guy.
Dude, I need you to guide avictory, I need you to bring him

(33:40):
out.
That's the only way we're goingto win this.
And Andy's like look, you needto make sure that if I lose
control, you gotta kill me.
Knowing he's undead was thefunniest line.
To say that I'm like bro,you're undead.
What do you mean?
Kill you?
He's like you're gonna have todo this.
You know what's wild about that.

Speaker 1 (33:57):
Um, the way that's described it just kind of
reminds me of Sentry, a littlebit from the Thunderbolts, where
it's like, yeah, he's likesuper strong, but then he has
this trump card, that where,okay, on a dire situation you're
gonna have to use that trumpcard, and he literally pulls the

(34:17):
card out of his fucking skullso he can turn into victor and
it's like it's like, yeah, hemight help, but he might get out
of hand.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
So it might make the situation worse.
It might fix it, but it mightmake it worse, just so you
understand.
And yeah, I like how youmentioned that, because, yeah,
he pulls the card.
I had the literal trump cardout of his head and I'm like
that's the funniest literalreference I've ever seen.
But, yeah, pulls it out.

Speaker 1 (34:50):
Victor shows up and at that moment she is like, hey,
we might have made thissituation bad it was like Buddy
from Red Ranger in another worldwhere he's like, yeah, he got
this Ranger black form but I'mlike, okay, I'm gonna use this
form, but uh, I'm gonna needy'all to handle me when

(35:11):
everything's said and done I'mlike what you mean, you'll see
exactly, and it is always thesame thing, like that person's
like see, I thought I was aboutit, I thought I could handle
this situation, but I learnedvery quickly.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
This dude is on a whole nother level.
Victor started doing everything.
Boys started popping out theclones started popping bullets
like it was nothing,redirectional bullets like it
was nothing, just started goingin and it was like, oh my God,
this dude is dangerous.
This dude is dangerous.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
Wait a second, oh God Now that I think about it like
dang.
I was thinking like at first hekind of reminded me of Yusuke's
day with the long hair, butthen I was like thinking, wait,
no, no, hold on, he brought mesomeone else.
I'm thinking, fuck, fuck, fuck,fuck, gajio from fairytale, at

(36:08):
least physically, with the longblack hair, long black hair.

Speaker 2 (36:14):
Yeah, I can see that, definitely.
I also like how histransformation happened in space
.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:23):
And all of a sudden, just the hair changes, his hair
grows, all of a sudden, his hairchanges color and then his face
heals up differently and thenit comes back down and it's like
, huh, it's been a while, sinceI finally got let out of my
prison, the Super Saiyan 3hairstyle L'Oreal, because I'm
worth it that part, that part,you just say L'Oreal, they ain't

(36:50):
sponsoring us, don't give themtheir name.
But for real, though, like itwas dangerous, like dude showed
up and he was dangerous, he waslike okay.
And then Victor shows up againlater on, and then we get Andy
versus Victor.
Well, no, first off, foucaultversus victor.
I want to mention that one,fuko versus victor.

(37:11):
That dude, oh, she went back intime.
She goes into his brain she wasreading the book, teleports
into him, into andy, to getunderstanding his past, to get a
better understanding of who heis and stuff.
She goes too far back and meetsvictor and victor immediately
he's like uh-uh, no, you're notallowed to be here, you're not
allowed to know about my past.
No, look here.

Speaker 1 (37:32):
I'm going to kick you out of this memory.
I'm going to keep finding youin all these memories until you
get to the last memory, and thenI'm going to kill you there.
That'll kill you in real lifeand that's going to really fuck
up Andy to a point to where,like, oh yeah, now it's my
chance to take his role.

Speaker 2 (37:48):
I was like dang, that was some next level villain
type shit.
I was like wait, he's like yeah, I'm just keep killing you,
don't worry.
Don't worry, we got this, it'sgonna be okay.
Kills her, wait what Shows up.
Ah, there you are, got you nextto game.

Speaker 1 (38:04):
I'm like I don't know why you could wait, didn to die
, didn't you?
Didn't you wanted to die in thefirst episode?

Speaker 2 (38:10):
that part, that part exactly, and it was terrible
because it was that point ofjust like dang, so like, not
only was you not getting theinformation that you thought she
was gonna get, it just keptgetting worse because he was
like, nah, he about to die forreal, let's do this.

Speaker 1 (38:26):
But no, I kind of do feel bad for andy because he's
got that wolverine backstorywhere it seemed like he lived so
many years and he said allthese, uh, friends and close
ones dying on for whateverreason, I'm like god damn man,
he went through it that's that's.

Speaker 2 (38:45):
It's crazy and understand that.
Yeah, because woline, I do befeeling bad cause he does
mention that in, like in theX-Men animated series.
He's also mentioned that in alot of movies as well too.
It's like it's hard to get,like I hate getting attached to
people cause at the end of theday, like you're not gonna be
here as long as I'm gonna behere, and that's like the worst

(39:08):
part of Immortality.
What is it Frearing?

Speaker 1 (39:11):
I finally watched Frearing.

Speaker 2 (39:13):
I finally watched it, oh my god.
That series is so good.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
Hey, season two Right around the corner.

Speaker 2 (39:21):
I know.
Believe me, when that seasondrops, I will be on the next
episode Review it, because I amso sorry that I missed the first
one.
I kept getting so caught upwith other things, but I finally
got a chance to watch it.

Speaker 1 (39:33):
I couldn't put that series down Green Ridge and Burn
are like some stone coldbitches.

Speaker 2 (39:40):
Yes, so, but then that death, that curse of
immortality, is like a horrible,even like some iterations of
Dracula and like there's so manydoggone movies with Dracula in
it.
But there's like a coupleiterations of Dracula where it's
the same thing, where it's likeI don't like being immortal
because it's like I keep gettingattached to people and then you

(40:02):
die and it's like it feelsunfair like it feels like no, no
, no, listen.

Speaker 1 (40:10):
T tuck and I, when we did the center for you, I
wanted to be a werewolf, becauseyou know I just got offended.
Where will you want?
Uh, he preferred to be avampire and he was trying to
sell me on being a vampire.
I'm like nah, because my mainthing is I'm to be living for so
many years and yet, in thisreality, so much bullshit be

(40:32):
happening to a point where I'mlike I'm getting real tired of
this shit.
Somebody put me out of mymisery like fucking Immortal
from Invincible Season 3.
Please, invincible, please.
I can't take this shit no more.
These people make no goddamnsense.
Please.

Speaker 2 (40:49):
I need, need this.
I don't, yeah, like I don't, Ijust can't.
That's a hard thing.
That's a real hard thing to belike, to not be able to die and
just watch everyone you love andcare about.
And you try to spend so muchtime pushing people away.
But humanity just has thisthing about connecting with each
other.
Like you just can't not connect.

(41:11):
It's impossible.
You find you're always going tofind some reason, some way to
connect with someone and it'sjust now.
You have to just deal with itagain, like now that person's
gonna die.
Then the worst part about it istoo.
I feel real bad for andybecause it's not even one of
those those types ofimmortalities of oh, I just live

(41:31):
a long life but I could bekilled, and type of thing he
literally can't be killed, likehe's the literal immortal, but
you negate death, just itself,it doesn't matter.
So it's like.
It's like, uh, hundreds oftimeline resets.

Speaker 1 (41:44):
So it's like, it's like uh, hundreds of timeline
resets.
Bro, you know, to this day Ithink it's still crazy how I
mentally gloss over BentonOmniverse, and that was the one
series that explained thatwhenever you're wearing that
Omnitrix you could like die.
But then the Omnitrix would belike, nah, hold on, let me just,

(42:06):
uh, rebuild your DNA and you'llbe all right.
And I'm like, god damn, likedoesn't matter how you get
killed, like the amateurs justgonna bring you back, unless the
watch gets ripped off your handfirst, and then you die.
I'm like okay, fine, but thenas long as you're wearing that
you're fine.

Speaker 2 (42:27):
It's, I just can't.
It's one of those ones likewhat, was it Not Schrodinger's
Boat?
I think it was no notSchrodinger's Boat,
schrodinger's Cat I'm thinkingabout the boat.

Speaker 1 (42:42):
I know the boat that you're talking about because I
heard from Vision and his otherversion of him from Warner
Vision was talking about.
I'm like damn.
I know what you're talkingabout, but I forgot the name of
that I forgot there's that nameof.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
but yeah, it's like if you keep replacing the pieces
after a while is it still thesame one, because eventually you
replaced all the pieces andstuff and you're like dang, I
don't know, um, I don't know,like there's another, and
there's another anime I watchedcalled Agen.

Speaker 1 (43:12):
Oh yeah, Is that a 3D ?

Speaker 2 (43:17):
show with the shadow monsters Okay.
Yeah, and so that was evencrazier.
It was like, oh, agen can't die.
But it's like, actually I founda way to kill an Agen.
It's like what do you mean?
Oh, you cut the head off.
You see, when the head it'llcompletely reattach like it'll
redo because it's in technicalor immortal, but your spirit of
who you are dies and then whatcomes back is going to be a

(43:39):
different clone of you.
You're not going to have any ofthose memories, you're not
going to have any of thosethings anymore.
If I cut your head off, youwould literally die, your body
stay alive and that could turninto my personal slave.
And you're like, wait, whatthat's why?

Speaker 1 (43:53):
yeah, that's a wall.
That's long time to drop.

Speaker 2 (43:55):
I'm like whoa this dude was old as hell, so I was
sitting here like, oh my god,I'm like wait, so you can't die,
but you can still age.
That's kind of lame, bro.

Speaker 1 (44:08):
I'm like 97 years old being that no, like just
imagine being like two, threehundred plus years old and he's
like bro, like I.
Fucking my body is so old.
I fucking hate it like it'slike it's agony to even move
around and sit like please, justfuck me up, please, please.

Speaker 2 (44:32):
Could be a walking skeleton, still creating shadow
monsters like why?

Speaker 1 (44:37):
Looking like some sort of Einstein or Google
motherfucker.
I mean Just roaming the earthas a skeleton with a cloak on
and he's like just walkingaround with a cane and just
seeing all the remains of theearth.
And he's like I remember peoplegoing gin is also literal too.

Speaker 2 (45:00):
So like imagine that point you keep aging, decaying,
but you still can't die per se,like you don't have a throat
anymore, so you can't speak doesyour brain decay too.
Is that another way for enginegen to die that?

Speaker 1 (45:13):
you.
Just I would really hate it forpeople who don't have inner
monologues, because you know, uh, that's not a common thing
where, uh, some therapists willsay that oh yeah, not everybody
have that inner monologue intheir head.
So like, damn.
So, if you can't speak and youdon't have an inner monologue, I
think you can.
Well, you could probably write,but then again, can you even

(45:36):
write that?

Speaker 2 (45:37):
yeah, you got no muscles man.

Speaker 1 (45:39):
So I'm like how do you communicate?

Speaker 2 (45:42):
that's crazy yeah, it's just only because that
series is so literal aboutthings and I'm just like I don't
know not to realize you're soliteral, that kind of it kind of
gets worse.

Speaker 1 (45:54):
See, that's what I'm saying it shows like the
implication of immortality, likeI don't think, like see that's
the thing, like see immortality.
Back when I was a kid thatsounded good because you know
nobody really wants to die.
But as you get older he's likenobody really wants to die, but
as you get older you just likeimmortality, like in the literal

(46:17):
sense it's just not worth it.
But the best form ofimmortality that you can achieve
is the kind of immortalitywhere people remember your name
way beyond your death, like thewhole point is yeah like that,
like a favorite, yeah, like that, or you know, leave behind a
legacy where people will talkabout you and your legacy for

(46:40):
many years to come.
Like yo think about it, likeguys like Michael Jackson and
whatnot, where they've been gone, but we're still talking about
them.
So that's the kind of legacy.
Aaron Yeager, yeah, we're evertalking about this legacy.
I'm like, bro, it's still kindof crazy to me how those fucking

(47:00):
Jaegers I'm still heated aboutthat dirty court session where
I'm like you, fucking Jaegers,make no fucks you mean to tell
me you're backing thismotherfucker that's willing to
kill everybody that's not in hiscourt or not built like him.
Like, oh, you're not from Paris, you're not from my street, so
we're going to kill you too, butoh, we were wrecking.

(47:20):
Doesn't matter, you ain't frommy corner.

Speaker 2 (47:25):
Oh my God, and you want to bring back Nurticord too
next year.

Speaker 1 (47:29):
Y'all want to champion this guy, the guy
that's killing all of us.

Speaker 2 (47:34):
You want to bring back Nerdy Court again next year
, so it's going to be crazy.
It's going to be crazy, by theway, oh gosh.

Speaker 1 (47:46):
Aaron Yeager.
I like him as a character.
I'm not going to say that Idon't like him as a character,
but I don't know if I'm backingsomeone who's voting for world
genocide.
So I'm like, uh, hold on, bro,like it was one thing with the
Marleyans, but you gotta look atthe Marleyans.

Speaker 2 (48:03):
I mean, look at America right now.
Look at America right now.

Speaker 1 (48:08):
I mean, yeah, america , yeah, like.
That's like saying, if Americawas more like, okay, I can kind
of understand, but you're goinga little too far to say, oh well
, I need to kill them beforethey get a chance to kill me.
They didn't do anything to youtoo much, too much.

Speaker 2 (48:28):
If I take away our freedom of speech, they really
voting to take away our freedomof speech, bruh, is they really
doing this for real?

Speaker 1 (48:35):
No, I mean, it's just not crazy.

Speaker 2 (48:41):
You're not taking away our podcast.
This is my freedom.
But, um, yeah, andy versusVictor to me still was the best
fight, because Andy was growing.
It was like Victor, you couldtell.
It was one of those moments hewas like when he acknowledged
the fact that he's like you mayactually be the one to actually

(49:01):
fix everything, you may actuallyfind what you're looking for.
And he's like you know what?
I'm willing to try, I'm goingto fight you and instead of
killing you, instead of like,just completely like doing a
full takeover, I'm gonna fightyou, I'm gonna teach you.
During the fight, and victorjust kept acknowledging andy as
he kept growing.
He was like you oh, you learnedabout that when he's like, it

(49:23):
took you about time before youfinally figured that one out,
and he's like okay, so youfigured out these little things.
It's like okay, you finally gotfaster because you understood
that you have are immortal.
Like you're always holdingyourself back because you're
scared that it might not work,he's like dude, you're immortal,
just do it.
Just do it.
Stop holding yourself back.
That's the reason why yourattacks are so weak it's because
you're scared about it.

(49:44):
Stop being scared and just keepmoving forward.
It was one of those ones thatyou could tell Victor at that
point was like, at a point abouthalfway through the fight he
wasn't trying to win anymore.
He was just like no, I'm tryingto give you the skills that you
need so that way you canfinally win and finally take
care of this stuff, cuz any endtoday they still gotta go up
against, like the Creator itself, is it herself there themselves

(50:08):
, whatever Peg yeah.
So Like, yeah, see, that's whatI like about it too.

Speaker 1 (50:13):
Because he's like For the super religious folks,
we're not talking about that God, but like A different being
that goes by God, who happens tobe a woman.
But then again I'm likethinking, why not just call her
goddess?
I don't know, whatever.

Speaker 2 (50:31):
You wanna know something crazy about that I've
seen In a lot of TV shows andanime and stuff.
Almost every single time if itwinds up being a goddess creator
.
It's as if the goddess creatorcreates for torture.
I don't know why they choose towrite that, but almost every
time that I've seen it theremight be something out there
that's not, and if there is,please let us know.

(50:51):
Absolutely.
Talk to us in our face, bro.
Come on, let us know.

Speaker 1 (50:57):
I kind of almost don't like the implication of oh
well, if every time I got it incontrol it's always about
torture.
It's almost like hmm, and thenit's almost as if.
It's almost as if things willbe better if a man was in charge
and I ain man was in charge.

Speaker 2 (51:15):
And I'm saying, as far as Whoever it is that's
writing for some reason Decidesto put a female Like if it's a
female ultimate ruler in charge,it's always the humanity is
suffering, type of thing andthey have to go up and fight
against it.
Like think about it this way,doc, on Seven Deadly Sins you
have the demon king, but youhave the goddess.

(51:36):
And you find out, the goddessis extremely jealous.
She absolutely hates what itwas that Meliodas and Elizabeth
were getting together anddecided to punish, and she
decided to create a punishmenttoo.
And she was like that's kind ofunfair.
Ain't you supposed to be theembodiment of all goodness?
But you're sitting here like ohno, my war is a demon, can't
care who's collateral, typething, what, what?

(51:58):
That's a nonsense Bayonetta.

Speaker 1 (52:01):
Hey, when you're a guy, you either be all powerful
or all good that part.

Speaker 2 (52:14):
But then think about Bayonetta hates the Umbridge,
which is so much to the pointthat she, that the, the goddess
of creation, doesn't care thatthe universe itself will be
destroyed in their fight.
She didn't care.
That's how much she hatedbayonetta.
She was willing to destroy allthe planets in the universe,
destroy everything in theuniverse, just to kill bayonetta
type of thing and it's likedude, but you're the goddess of
creation, like.
It's like.
I don't know every time I seeit if it's like goddess of
creation is like it was made totorture people and I don't

(52:37):
understand that.
So I'm not saying on that onelike, oh, it might be better
than man in charge, no, I'm notsaying that I'm not saying
either.
Look at these writers, seewhat's going on here, yeah, and
I'm like what's going on withthese writers here like oh, I
mean a lot of anime tropes whereI'm like, uh, is this something
y'all want to talk about?

Speaker 1 (52:58):
you know every the older brother curse where it's
like always a cool older brotherdying.
Uh, the father is always likemissing or he ain't here or
whatnot.
Like the mother, like okay, themother.
Sometimes, well, the mother islike 50 50 it really depends on
the story to where.
Like they're either like thissuper supportive, doting type or
they're like the worst piece ofshit, like I've seen some

(53:22):
examples, trust me, like it'salmost like a whole bunch of
tropes where you're justthinking is there something
y'all want to talk about?
Like um, was daddy not thereenough for you?
Um, did mommy hit you a littletoo hard or didn't hug you
enough?
Like, what's going on withy'all?
Like why, why y'all keep goingdown this way?
What's up with y'all alwaystrying to have like, uh, I know

(53:47):
japanese standards where, like,if you're like 16, you're pretty
much much legal, and I'm likeum, here in America that goes
far into there at least 18.

Speaker 2 (53:57):
And also Not anymore.
They're trying to change thatto 14.
Well, yeah, let's discuss itanother time.

Speaker 1 (54:04):
I'm sorry, yeah, yeah yeah, but also, um, what else?
What else were there?
Oh yeah, yeah yeah, thebrother-sister complex Like stop
it, stop it.
We don't like that shit, cut itout.
That ruined Irregular MagicHigh School.
For me, that was a damn nearperfect anime.

(54:26):
The only thing that ruined itIs that the sister has feelings
for the brother.

Speaker 2 (54:31):
I'm like Okay, see, I have that anime on my list and
you're trying to tell me to takeit off because you know that's
one of my tropes that I don'tlike either.
I was removed that off my list.
That's real fame, bro.
I'll leave it alone.

Speaker 1 (54:42):
I got a bunch of other enemies listen, the
brother is like.
The brother is like he's notreally into her like that, but
it's almost like he likes toplay along almost like in a uh,
very stoic with almost like manwell, you know, if we were to be
a couple, you know he's likekind of nudged towards like

(55:04):
implicating, but he's not likereally into it.
It's just more like he's kindof teasing whoever else is like
in the like see the funny thing,like they're, it's almost like
they're so close to each other.
And then they're like everybodyaround is like oh, y'all so
close to each other, like it'salmost if y'all dating each
other and then the girl, the,the sister, she'll get all

(55:25):
blushing and flustered andwhatnot.
Oh, really, like you think wemake a cute couple.
And then, um, the brother'slike oh well, you know we're
brother and sister, so thatwouldn't work.
But if we were a couple and I'mlike get the fuck out of here
with this dynamic.

Speaker 2 (55:43):
Dang See, you know, Japanese writers love doing that
whole step-sister, step-brononsense thing.

Speaker 1 (55:51):
That's my family.
Is that something I want totalk about?
What's going?

Speaker 2 (55:55):
on, they got married.
Their parents got married andthey found they were frustrated
because the one they fell inlove with was the one their
parents married and was like, ohno, it's not going to work.
Actually, you're not bloodrelated.
It should still work.
We're keeping it in the family.

Speaker 1 (56:09):
Oh, there's a state in the family, there's a state
in the States where it'sinfamous for that type of thing,
and that's not really the badgeof honor that you want.

Speaker 2 (56:26):
Sweet home Alabama.
Oh my gosh, yeah that part.

Speaker 1 (56:38):
I love my brother and I'm proud of him.
I'm like, okay, in what regard?

Speaker 2 (56:42):
there's nothing wrong with loving, but what do you
mean?
What do?

Speaker 1 (56:47):
you mean by that?

Speaker 2 (56:50):
please elaborate, give us the sauce.
No, I understand, but overall,definitely go watch Undead
Unlocked.
It's really great to watch.
Hulu's not going to be aroundfor too much longer, but it is
also on Disney+.

Speaker 1 (57:05):
Yeah, it's been dissolved into Disney+ and so
just watch it on Disney+.

Speaker 2 (57:10):
Yeah.
So yeah, you can definitelywatch it there or sell the seven
seas.

Speaker 1 (57:14):
Assuming, assuming that it stays, because you know
how, whenever there's a murderor some shit gets oh, there's a
bunch of anime that's not goingto make it over.

Speaker 2 (57:24):
So that's why I'm going through Hulu's list and
trying to see what it is I'mgoing to watch and stuff.
Because, believe it or not,like realistic hero is also one
of the ones.
For when I last checked I'mgoing to say it that way when I
last checked it's not on Disneyplus.
That's why I went ahead andwatched that one on Hulu.
So I was like, yeah, I'm goingto watch that.
So I got a bunch of animethat's on my list on Hulu that
I'm going on Disney Pluschecking.
I'm like is it there?

(57:44):
No, it's not Okay.
So, nope, that's not.
Nope, I need to watch it.
Go ahead and watch this and beon my high priority list.

Speaker 1 (57:53):
It's still a crazy power move that that Disney Plus
made sure that they got therights to Bleach Valley or Blood
War, because I'm thinking like,why Disney Plus?
I know what they're trying todo now, but it's like that's a
crazy ass problem because yougot one of the big three as a

(58:14):
Disney Plus exclusive and I'mgoing to lie, my wife been
watching it too.

Speaker 2 (58:20):
She mad.
She looked at me the other dayand was like so when's the next
exclusive?
Not gonna lie, my wife beenwatching it too.
She mad.
She looked at me the other day.

Speaker 1 (58:24):
It was like so when's the next episode come out?
I said you might have to wait.

Speaker 2 (58:32):
Yeah yeah, you're gonna wait a couple months, babe
.
I'm sorry you might be lookingabout 2026.
I mean, it's like a littlecloser to that.

Speaker 1 (58:40):
I'm sorry.
You might be looking about 2026.
I mean, it's like what?
It's like a little closer tothat.
I want to say a little closerto, like December Okay, I need
to look at it, I need to seeexactly when.
But they're saying that it'sgoing to drop sometime around
December or November orsomething.
I want to look into it, but Iknow for a fact that it's going

(59:00):
to be like maybe well, don'tvote me on that the way they're
splitting it up, it's probablynot going to be that many
episodes because, like part fournow.

Speaker 2 (59:12):
Yeah, the last I checked, part four of the
Calamity is set to be releasedin 2026.

Speaker 1 (59:16):
There's no month, it just says 2026.

Speaker 2 (59:21):
There's no month, it just says 2026.

Speaker 1 (59:25):
Okay, Well, I guess that gives us more time to catch
up.
If you didn't get caught up,there's a chance we're not
Alright.
Well, you got it until the endof the year.
There you go, I mean yeah it'slike that free run coming back.
A whole, a whole bunch ofstuff's coming back in um
january.
A whole bunch of thingshappening in january.

Speaker 2 (59:46):
Fire force um part two is coming in january, about
time, yeah because it's been solong for that one, like jesus,
been so long the manga andalready finished.
They already confirmeddisconnected the soul, re Reaper
and everything.

Speaker 1 (01:00:01):
Bro, they really don't want certain anime done.
I mean, look at my HeroAcademia, to where it's like a
slow burn.
The manga ended a year ago andthey're just now getting to the
final way.
Like the final way, not like,oh, final season.
Part one, part two, no, what?
Tell me what y'all gonna bedoing after this?

Speaker 2 (01:00:23):
It's not vigilantes, but there's another.
They're continuing withadditional story chapters.
It's coming out in light novels, if I'm correct.
It's additional after stories.

Speaker 1 (01:00:34):
Speaking of which, have you been checking out the
sequel to Jesus Christ, that newchapter?

Speaker 2 (01:00:43):
No, I'm gonna be honest with you.

Speaker 1 (01:00:46):
um, jesus kai isn't kind of getting on my nerves
right now, like me, okay nothingcrazy happening, except there's
alien sorcerers now and it waslike, uh, 60 years after you,
and it was like 60 years after.

Speaker 2 (01:01:01):
I want to point this out real quick.
I just want to repeat what youjust said nothing crazy happened
, and then you just said thereare alien sorcerers.
Now I just want to make sureyou understand the words that
came out of Joe Mouse's mouth.
Nothing crazy happened.
Proceeds to claim the mostcraziest, nonsensical.

(01:01:22):
What's this?
A JoJo?

Speaker 1 (01:01:26):
No no, no Funny thing is some guy on Twitter kind of
I mean, I don't know if it'slike real or not, but like I saw
on Facebook that someone onTwitter pretty much guessed that
there's going to be aliensorcerers somewhere in the
future.
I probably should think I don'tknow if I'm going to find that

(01:01:47):
same post again but somebodyguessed that, oh well, where did
it go from there?
You know it ended.
And they're saying, oh well,yeah, they're probably going to
plan something beyond JujutsuKaisen.
Especially the way it ended.
It's like okay, sounds likethey're definitely going to do a

(01:02:07):
sequel.
And somebody suggested AlienSorcerer and I'm like, oh well,
shit, I guess somebody got that.
You know a broken coffee, spsprite twice a day, type of
thing.

Speaker 2 (01:02:22):
So you're saying why alien sorcerers and not just
alien as the um, as a curse, thefear of aliens?

Speaker 1 (01:02:31):
No, no, no, no, no.
You know what it is.
You know what it is.
It's a repeat of Boruto, whereit's like now we got fucking
aliens in Boruto and all thedifferent technologies.
It's like kind of thing at thispoint where it's like, okay,
you have this long running, likethis epic or kind of epic story
, it finally ends and it's likeokay, there's going to be a

(01:02:54):
sequel and I'm like where do yougo from here?

Speaker 2 (01:02:56):
I'm like it means so we already got time travel in
Attack on Titan.
So Attack on Titan decides tocome back.
It's either going to be aliensor it's going to be some type of
dimension hopping and stufflike that.
Well, this is a differentreality, where Aaron won and
Aaron decided to hop onto thisreality.

Speaker 1 (01:03:19):
No, no, no, hold on you know what's really crazy as
I'm preparing for the PowerRangers stream review like we
still got to do a whole lot ofseasons, by the way, but Power
Rangers in Space, where Androsis playing to the rest of the
Power Rangers that, hey, man,humans aren't just exclusive to
Earth.
There's humans on other planets.
And I'm sitting there like Goddamn it, god damn it.

(01:03:42):
So alien sources, alien titans,all the other shit, that's
feasibly possible.
Because, like, okay, in thisbroad galaxy universe that we're
in, it's like okay, there mightbe humans on other planets, so
they could just show up and belike, hey, what up, fellow
humans?
I'm like you're 10?

(01:04:02):
I'm like, yeah, you might behuman, but you're not an
Earthling.
Though.
I don't appreciate you rollingup to me like you're Steve
Buscemi or some type shit.
By the way, I'm going to bereal.
See you Wednesday, season 2.
Be prepared for that.

Speaker 2 (01:04:19):
Oh, yeah, yeah, we're about to do that one.
Actually, I got a little teaservideo I'm going to drop on
TikTok Because I just got a newjacket and I got a new top hat,
because I know what I'm doingfor Halloween this year, but
it's going to pertain toWednesday.
So yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm goingto drop it on that one.
You don't look at that onebecause I'm going to be
showcasing some stuff, anyway,but no, I really think what

(01:04:41):
happened for Jujutsu Kaisen isthe fact that they saw Dan to
Dan or Don to Don, however youwant to pronounce it, and was
like aliens plus spirits.
I think we could do that.

Speaker 1 (01:04:52):
No, that's the same thing that happened with the
Isekai trope, where it's likeokay, one Isekai did really good
and it got to a point wherethere's this whole blood game of
Isekai anime.
Now it's not this new tropewhere if it's a new sequel,
there's gotta be two things One,aliens, two the protagonist

(01:05:15):
from the last series.
Gotta be a piece of shit for afather.
Like he might be wrong, but hegot the.
He got stuck at.

Speaker 2 (01:05:24):
He got stuck at being a father you got to do one of
two things you either have tosave the world or you have to
save the world to save yourfamily.
I chose to save the world.
Just understand, you're goingto be a terrible father, you're
going to be a terrible mother.
You're like wait what, waitwhat, why?
You gotta pick one.
It's a flip.
It's a coin flip, man.

(01:05:44):
You can't get both sides of thecoin.
You gotta flip one.
Hands and tails.

Speaker 1 (01:05:47):
Oh well, my bad for sacrificing my life twice for
the whole fucking planet.
Next time we just chill outwith my wife and kids.
Quote Son Goku.

Speaker 2 (01:05:59):
Look, look, look.
I think that's the reason whyVegeta keep losing all the times
because he's too good of a dad.
When he decides to stop being agood, when he decides to stop
being a good dad and stop beinga good husband, then he's going
to automatically, he's going toget his W, he's going to start
winning against these guys.

Speaker 1 (01:06:14):
I'm finally stronger than Goku and all it took for me
to neglect my wife for child.

Speaker 2 (01:06:27):
The grinded me like that dog.
That's just what it is.
That's how you know animetropes.
That's how they work.
Look, if you're a protagonist,it's one thing.
If you're a protagonist,there's certain things that you
have to have a checklist.
It's the anime protagonistchecklist.
Are your parents still alive?
Yes, okay, that means one.
That means one of them has tobe a villain.
It's like wait what?
Yeah, if they're not dead, oneis going to be a villain.

(01:06:48):
That's just how it works.

Speaker 1 (01:06:49):
Just deal with it anyway unless you have a brother
that kills your whole family toprepare development then your
parents are dead, dude, that's.

Speaker 2 (01:06:59):
That's still.
The brother is checklist numberfive.

Speaker 1 (01:07:05):
Hold on, we haven't gotten there yet, no, no, but
that's what I'm saying, like,okay, it could be like a little
loophole to where, like what ifthe brother kills the parent and
then you need to come to build?

Speaker 2 (01:07:15):
yep, and then hold on .
Then checklist number five canbe one of the other two things,
and so your sibling, because itcould be brother or sister.
We've seen ones where it's thesister.
That's crazy, anyway.

Speaker 1 (01:07:25):
I was also thinking Juni Taisa, but okay.

Speaker 2 (01:07:28):
That too.
Or even what's the anime wherethe clothes come to life and the
clothes Kill or kill.
Yep same thing, sister Boomright there.
I would say more than themother, than his sister well,
the sister still was a villainthroughout multiple seasons
until she finally switched over.
Remember, like you said, likethat's another checklist too,

(01:07:49):
your your attack has to becomeit wasn't really a switch.

Speaker 1 (01:07:54):
It was more like she was a double agent the whole
time, for like she wasn't reallyfucking with her mother the
whole time.

Speaker 2 (01:07:59):
It's more like I'm just gonna roll with it, all
right, but itachi was considereda villain, and then you find
out, oh, he's anti-hero.
That's why I said switch,because if you're playing double
agent, you're switching sides.
I don't know.
This is to me, though, but look, so that's number five.
But number five is also can bea one or the other situation, is

(01:08:20):
either a sibling or it's aclone, and you know what I mean.
That's just what it is.
It's like look at this animeprotagonist checklist, and it's
just one of those ones, and theclone can be, technically, you
from another dimension too.
That works too.
Go Goku Black, just saying, orlike that one anime that.

Speaker 1 (01:08:47):
I've watched a long time ago Gunslinger Stratos
where it's like, okay, they gotfight people from themselves
from another timeline.

Speaker 2 (01:08:55):
I'm like, oh shit and also understand brother like
sibling.
When we say sibling likebrother or sister is a loose
term.
So even if they're an onlychild, if they had a best friend
that was like a brother or likea sister to them, it's just
gonna happen.
The loose favorite tanyatalking about the koge, like

(01:09:18):
just saying it was like abrother to him, literally the
checklist goes on and it's likeyou can animate that.

Speaker 1 (01:09:26):
You're just like dang , that checklist is pretty we
gotta have that one person fromthe OG series that's old as hell
that you gotta serve as theteacher for the new generation,
for example Uzi?
Oh yeah, because he's teacherfor the new generation.

Speaker 2 (01:09:41):
For example, yuji from New Year Say the anime.
They need to know which one Saythe anime.
Yuji from where?
Yuji from Kaizen?
Oh yeah, okay.
No, because Noen.
Oh yeah, okay.
No, because I thought you weregoing to use from a different

(01:10:02):
anime.
No, no.

Speaker 1 (01:10:03):
No, in the manga because, like I was saying
before, you all were talkingabout Alien Sorcerer.
The only thing that happenedwas okay, yuta and Maki finally
get together, they have greatchildren, and those children end
up having grandchildren andwhatnot.

(01:10:23):
Both of them end up dying.
Okay, of course, but then theonly person left well, aside
from Nobra, who's in a nursinghome, that's left right now is
Yuji.
So it's almost like okay whenshit pops off the kids, yuta and
Maki's grandchildren they'regoing to have to slide to Yuji

(01:10:44):
to teach them how to fight thesefucking alien resources.

Speaker 2 (01:10:48):
True, okay, yeah, yeah, I see what you mean there.
Oh, another one on there.
They have to have an aunt oruncle that's extremely
overpowered and technicallycould have been the one to save
the world, but for some reasondecided not to and pass it on to
the next generation, aka theanime protagonist.

Speaker 1 (01:11:07):
Damn, that is time-consuming because that
happened to a fucking.
I left my A-Rank class partywhere it's like the uncle
character finally shows up andI'm like, nah, you got it, man,
you got it.
I mean I could have handled it,but you got it.

Speaker 2 (01:11:23):
It's always as either the uncle or mentor.
And you're just sitting hererealizing, technically, you were
strong enough to be able tohandle this.
Why didn't you handle it?
It wasn't my destiny, it's notmy character development.

Speaker 1 (01:11:35):
It's not my art, it's not my story, so it's us.

Speaker 2 (01:11:45):
And you're just like how dare you play?
Realistically, jiraiya didn'thave to die in arto.
Try, didn't have to die.
So yeah, even among gaka hemade himself.
He said the reason he killedjiraiya was just to progress
non-soul story development on.
Because, realistically, jiraiyawas just to progress Naruto's
story development on.
Because, realistically, jiraiyawould have been able to find

(01:12:06):
out at just that moment that whohe was fighting was not really
Nagato.
Jiraiya would have packed upthat fight and left Instead of
wasting his time and wasting hischakra.
If he realized that point, hewould have been gone.
So he had to make it to wherehe didn't realize and had to die
, specifically Sonar, to havedevelopment.
And then, when everybody elsedied and got brought back,

(01:12:26):
jiraiya had the chance of beingbrought back, but his body
magically disappeared.

Speaker 1 (01:12:35):
And the crazy part is they try to bring back a
Jiraiya clone in the fuckingsequel and it did horribly.

Speaker 2 (01:12:44):
It did absolutely horrible, exactly as Mungaka
said it was gonna happen.
He was like nah see, this iswhy.

Speaker 1 (01:12:52):
This is why, see, if you didn't kill him off in the
first place, I'm just saying no,he's too powerful, he would
have been able to get to end theseries, exactly the point we're
saying oh no, he's too powerful, he would have been able to get
to like in the series, exactlythe point where it's the hate.
Oh man, like, can you imagineway back during the tuning exam
where, okay, orochimaru wastrying to summon, uh, the three

(01:13:13):
other hokade, and then, as soonas it got to the point, oh no,
don't bring that little girl andI like how he had to bring it
up and say, oh no, we can'tbring him back, why the plot?

Speaker 2 (01:13:22):
The plot demands him To be brought back in.
No, yeah, I could have stoppedthe summoning at any point, but
I just had to wait.
But once he hit that fourth one, oh no, no, hold on a second
Wait, so you could have stoppedthe other.
I mean, yeah, technically Icould have stopped it, but I
just I had to stop the fourthone.

Speaker 1 (01:13:43):
Seriously, I'm like okay, like yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like the guy that she knewwould be Okay, I can handle him,
oh, his brother, okay, I canhandle him, but that fourth
motherfucker.
No, no, no, no, that's adifferent that part, that part,
that part.

Speaker 2 (01:14:03):
Like seriously, look we have fun, but no, also I

So the village respects him right.

Speaker 1 (01:14:37):
Uh yeah, yeah, Like look, this boy got his own name
on a fucking bridge.
That's how bloody dirty thisboy is now.
But yeah, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:14:58):
Your answer was like Nah, hold on a second, I ain't
ready to face that music yetdon't come back questions I'm
not prepared to answer.
Oh god, monkey ram or monkeymonkey.
Monkey ram ram said don't dothat, undo that summoning juicer

(01:15:18):

You could have stopped it.
You could have stopped this atany point, but you only stopped
it at number four.
Look, we dissected all thisother anime.
I got to go ahead and get going.
So watch Undead Unlocked, buthighly recommend reading them
all.
I don't know next time nextseason comes out, because we're

(01:15:39):
still waiting for it.
This anime like season 2 ended2020, 2024 if I'm correct.
Yeah, so it like ended 2024.
We're near the end of 2025already, so it's gonna be.
It's gonna be a minute untilthe next season comes out.
So you got some time.
Go ahead and watch it.
Enjoy it, jb, I don't haveanything else to say.

(01:16:02):
So I'm here to get everythingover to you, man alright.

Speaker 1 (01:16:06):
Uh, yeah, that was much of what I wanted to say
about Undead Unlocked.
I mean, I know we didn't talkabout a whole lot, but honestly,
just how we feel about themanga, I feel like, for the most
part, if you want more detailson Undead Unlocked, just watch
the show.
I will say watch the show first, then read the manga, then
maybe I have more appreciationfor the manga.
When it's like, okay, you readthe manga first and you really

(01:16:29):
love it, then you read the, thenyou watch the anime and you're
like, oh, hold on, I'm like mepersonally.
That's why I would say I wouldrather watch the anime first if
I like the story, and then, if Ireally like the story, I read
the manga.
But for this story, under thelook, I would give it as of

(01:16:52):
right now a 9 out of 10.
Like it's damn near perfect.
But once again, the one thingthat kind of pissed me off was
the implication of what theworld was like before the humans
, because I'm like hold on aminute Bringing up more

(01:17:14):
questions than it is giving meanswers.
So, like you know what, I'mjust going to let that slide.
See, I'm not going to be toomad about it, but I'm kind of
mad about it.
So, like you know what, I'mjust gonna let that slide, like,
see, I'm not gonna be too madabout it, but I'm kinda mad
about it.
So that's the only thing.
Like the implication of theplot to where it's almost like,
do we really want?
I get that you're trying toprevent the end of the world
with Ratneron, but it's like, uh, if you kill the unit, does

(01:17:38):
that mean you go back to whereit didn't have those things
before?
And you know, yeah, yeah, I'mdone, I'm done, we're closing
this out.
Have a good morning goodafternoon, good evening, good
night, whatever the case may be,ultimately, you go ahead and
take it easy.
Remember that great things arecoming.
We're gonna stay nerdy.
I hope you stay nerdy with ustoo.
We're zoning out of here.
