Kaiju Number Eight Review and Discussion

Speaker 1

ah , what up nerds ? It's jet black extreme and we are back at again with another episode of the zone podcast . Today's topic is kaiju number eight , and joining me on this review is kokugasu , the fancy club president . We have talos , gundam playboy and Professor Tuck , aka Kaiju no 000 . And without further ado , let's zone in on it .

Gentlemen , what can I say about Kaiju no 8 ? It's pretty good , it's decent . I mean 12 episodes like not a whole lot , honestly , like . Just like how I felt about Windbreakerbreaker . I felt like they had it to where it wasn't a whole lot of shit that you had to digest for 12 episodes . But pretty good , fairly impressive , right out of the gate .

But we'll just see in later season how well they keep up this momentum . Uh , of course you got the main boy on kafka . He you know to where . He's 32 . He failed multiple times trying to get into the defense force alongside his friend amina , but eventually he finally got in .

But coincidentally he got infected by this kaiju parasite creature and he became a kaiju and he was so strong that they noted him as Kaiju number eight . But on , the funny thing is , what I like about this show is how they try to layer the power scaling in the different Ranks and whatnot . That's kind of what I like .

It's like you know how they layered it to where the powers get , pretty much Like I just said . I'm rambling at this point , but , um , whole point being is that he is considered a daikaiju and I'm trying to remember , uh , what was okay basically with daikaiju .

Uh , the remains are used to create stronger weapons called the numbers , and you will see in episode 11 and 12 that , um , daddy shinomiya is using the gauntlets from kaiju number two and essentially there's like levels to the shits where , like honju are the more dangerous stronger kaiju . Yoju is a smaller kaiju , that can be like sprouting off from the honju .

And then you have the kaiju that have such high fortitude levels or abnormal parameters that they're just giving a number . I'm like , okay , you're so crazy strong , we just gonna slap a number on you . And , yeah , kafka as kaiju number eight , pretty strong , like the fights , okay , a couple of the first couple of fights , yeah , you know , all right , all right .

But then when he fought , uh , the director general Shinomiya , then I was like , oh shit , uh okay , yola Flash popping off and shit with the fucking knuckles . But I've been getting mixed feelings , like not me personally , but mixed reviews of all the ending from people and we're going to talk about that , starting with Carlos .

How you feeling about Kaiju , number eight as well ?

Speaker 2

First off , I'm going to say it right now Let me get my pat on the flesh . So , ladies and gentlemen , right as your mecha manager , I am also , you know , the one who deals with tokusatsu things . And why'd you fall into tokusatsu ?

Speaker 1

Oh um . Before you continue , tyler , let's just mention that Kaiju's Fallen to Zatsu . Oh um . Before you continue , tyler , let's just mention that Kaiju number 8 is inspired by Shin Godzilla Ultraman . But honestly , I was getting like hints of Attack on Titan with Um , something else like Um , it was something One Punch man and Parasite .

Because , you know he got infected and all that . So it was like aw One Punch man and Parasite , because you know he got infected and all that other shit . So it was like a mortgage board of shit , but it works it kind of works For those of us who relatively need to know exactly .

Speaker 2

Well , I get it . For those of y'all who are not in the know , you know hey , hey of . Of course you'll see those . But let me give you a better example . Oh yeah , pacific Rim , kaiju , number 8 . If you really want a best , a best measuring of what it all Encompasses , watch Kamen Rider , amazon .

Speaker 1

Yes , I did watch a little bit Of Kamen Rider . It is pretty good .

Speaker 2

Kamen Rider , amazon , in particular . Those are monsters , but going back to it right . Type number eight yes , ladies and gentlemen , this is just the build up . Yes , I'm going to spoil you . Yes , there is another season coming . There's another season coming , but in the same token and process about this first season , this is just the tip of the iceberg .

This man I've said it before , I've said it to y'all in solo leveling , I've said it to y'all and solo leveling , I've said it to y'all in several other reviews folks , this character gets stronger I mean , you don't have to tell me , like the way he was fighting shinomiya , to where he can like buff up and shit .

Speaker 1

I'm like okay , he might like have a little bit more room for improvement . Like just let him cook . That's all I'm saying . I mean , then again , I did read a little bit of the manga , so I'm not going to say much .

Speaker 2

To even break it down further . This is basically that . What if Godzilla was a human ? Yeah , this is that , so I'm telling you right now off muscle of humor ? Yeah , this is that . Yeah , so I'm telling you right now , off muscle , I gave this a , I gave this an actual , I say a for this first season . It got a 8.9 out of 10 . Okay , fair enough .

So on our actual rankings it would actually be in I'll say it's right at C plus tier for this first season . Yeah , so that's me , that's me . But I'm going to tell y'all now , please watch this , watch this Y'all . Finna , hear some shit , but okay , yeah , me personally .

Speaker 1

if I were to give it a rating or a grade right now it's sitting at C+ , maybe a generous B because it was fairly impressive right out of the gate , but at the same time , with only 12 episodes , I need to see how season 2 plays out .

You know , like you said , it was just a build-up , so I'm like I wasn't expecting a whole lot of crazy shit on 12 episodes , but it did a fairly good job to hook me in , just like with windbreaker I was hoping this would have been like a 24 episode type of thing , but 12 episodes ain't bad .

Speaker 2

That's why I gave it what I gave it , so yeah .

Speaker 1

Alright , alright . How about you , Playboy ? How you feeling about Kaiju no 8 ?

Speaker 5

Give me one second . I'm still at work , so that loud noise I heard was one of the fans . But Kaiju no 8 , I'm loving it . My only thing about the fandom's opinion about it was the comment about it being related to Attack on Titan in a way , as far as the main character Agreed .

Speaker 1

I mean , the only reason why I would say that is because the vibe where between the gear and the main characters will to okay . You made Mina cry , so I swear I'm gonna kill all you kaijus and that's about it . That's the full extent . Outside of that , he's nothing like Eren Jaeger . So I mean , as far as you know , yeah , so you know it's .

Speaker 5

But you know , attack on Titan was just different , different to this day .

I think it'd be very hard to honestly like straight up compare , like , like I said , like I'm not saying it wasn't or that , it was just the I'm gonna become what I wanted to destroy , type of concept you know what I'm saying like I'm gonna become the very thing I seek to destroy , type of thing .

But other than that , I don't think it have the political views . The comparison between the co-captains and levi , though and they're kind of versus him oh , I forgot his name they're kind of trying to like challenge him between levi already . But that's the , that's the .

Speaker 1

I guess I don't even want to call it , but I know who you're talking about . I know who you're talking about . I'm trying to remember his name the Vice Captain , right ?

Speaker 5

Yeah , the Vice Captain , yeah , yeah , like his fighting style and fighting titans , not titans . See , there it goes . There it goes . Fighting kaijus are kind of similar , you know , it's just stuff like that . But , um , as a show I can't really rate it like you guys were saying . But that was his name . Yes , hoshina hoshina . I like the character man .

He comes off as one of those . I'm playful . I don't really take things serious until it's time to get serious and then we're like , oh , yeah , like when you fought kafka like oh , you saw the eyes open and shit .

Speaker 1

like oh okay , like and it oh Okay like , and it's usually those kids it reminds me of Ichimaru , all over again from Bleach . I'm like every time those slitted eyes open , I'm like , oh , he's about to get . The gloves are coming off , that's right .

Speaker 5

Hell yeah , alright .

Speaker 1

How about you Tuck ? How you feeling about Kaiju , number 8 ?

Speaker 3

In the wise words of Unit 22 , unit no 1 , 729 , serial number 2716057 , aka Bender Bending Rodriguez from Futurama , might I say , kill all humans . I'm fucking with this anime . Let me tell you why it has the potential to be one of the top animes . I don't care if it only got one season , I don't care if it got 12 episodes .

Let me tell you something about Mina . Oh my god .

Speaker 1

That fucking cannon Damn .

Speaker 3

That fucking ponytail . I mean , yeah , damn that fucking ponytail . I mean I mean yeah , lord , I'm a sucker for a quiet captain , go away , wait you was talking about cannon .

Speaker 4

I was definitely about to make an aloe car reference , saying bitches love cannons . And he said that ponytail Like wait a second .

Speaker 3

It's given Big Sean ex-girlfriend . You know what I'm saying .

Speaker 1

I'm messing with it . I'm messing with it . I got you you see it .

Speaker 3

So , yeah , the anime is dope

Character Development in Kaiju Number Eight

man . I really appreciate the characters . You really get a sense of knowing the characters . You get a little funniness and some character development that really puts you in the known of the characters . Kafka man I really it saddens me that he is 32 and they keep calling him old dude and I'm sitting here 32 .

Speaker 1

How do you think I feel being 32 ? I'm like , I'm like , what do you mean by that ?

Speaker 3

Me . Young kids don't know nothing about anime these days , but you know what I'm saying . I really like the anime . I found myself being a little tearful and a little happy and the ending well , the episode before the ending , episode 11 , had me like oh , no yeah . Episode 12 had me like what Yo this ? Crazy , but it was a dope anime though .

Great experience .

Speaker 1

See , that was my thing between , like I was saying , with Windbreaker , the way they choreographed the fight , it was like it was giving Faye Stay Night Unlimited Bladeworth level of fluidity with that fight . I was like , oh yeah , it's like you had to like kind of keep up with it a little bit .

You know how long I said , you know , in Team Four Star version of Dragon Ball Z , when Gohan was like , wait , y'all having trouble keeping up with them . Now I'm like yeah , oh , you might have a problem when they get serious .

Speaker 4

I was like , oh damn , and I know , probably our horsemen of knowledge is going to share some wisdom , but I did catch one thing where they said that Kaiju number two and Kaiju number nine is fighting over time and I was like , oh , man , I wonder what that got to do with anything , so it's kind of crazy yeah , speaking of which , how you feeling about kaiju ,

number eight all right first off , this thing feels like , so I , so I understand why some people don't like it as much , and the reason I say that in the fact of it was it might just be for the anime itself per se , but it let's be honest , it feels like it was overhyped , so understanding this a little yeah .

So I understand like when we saw the previews and everything for it , people was like hyping it up , oh , this is gonna be fantastic . Oh , this is gonna be just as good as attack on titan .

Speaker 1

hey , calm down Right .

Speaker 4

And I'm sitting here like bro , look , y'all said the same thing for JJK and I'm just going to say it's not that it ain't that , it's not that it ain't super good , but are we really going to keep it on the same scale that it was ? No , because even right now the mom just keeps getting shaky .

So I'm just like come on , but , um , overall , I definitely still do like , I do really like the show , though , uh , I give it like a b minus onto that , I think .

For me , uh , some of the things that I wound up kind of liking into it is I like the design of the characters , um , but my biggest like gripes into this is that this felt exactly like I was trying to watch a recreation of one punch man , but in a Godzilla format per se .

Because , let's break it down to this , kafka holds is holding back his power , holding back his true power most of the time , not for the same reason , obviously , but still he's holding back his true power for the most of the time .

He has his right hand wingman , who he wound up saving his life , who at first was just like , oh , you're just kind of whatever Saves his life , and then , all of a sudden , I am now devoted to you , to making sure that I can handle stuff , so you don't need to show your true power . That's literally Genos .

Speaker 2

Literally showcasing that dude's head . I was like man .

Speaker 1

You may have something to say that this dude , give me Genos vibes , genos will get you yes .

Speaker 2

And same thing with Reno .

Speaker 4

No , no , same thing with Reno . Reno , literally , can handle his own when it comes down to weaker opponents . He can showcase himself with the fact oh , he's got potential , he's stepping it up , he's growing , he's this and this pops up .

And pops up a good , actual , super strong character gets his ass clapped like no tomorrow , bruh , like his best feat is the fact that he decided to still stand right back up again . But at that moment , there's still some moments that you've got to be like bruh .

You know , maybe I might just have to sit down for a second , you mean the power of constantly taking shots to the back bruh , like what took more back shots than Never mind , anyway .

So I'm just saying , but literally his whole character is just a straight-up genos , like literally , he has potential , he keeps getting stronger and stronger and still progressively gets his behind handed to him . I'm just saying . Then , on top of that , let's talk about Shinemunya , old girl , the daughter . Is she not Tsunami ? Is she not Tsunami ?

She's literally the same . She's super powerful , overhyped , more powerful than most other people . She's in top tier , like straight up Can't handle . Top tier , like straight up Can't hear those main characters .

Speaker 1

What anime is she from ? I'm trying to remember .

Speaker 4

One Punch man . I might have said the name of her , no , not .

Speaker 1

Tornado , terrible Tornado , you're right .

Speaker 4

Yeah . Tornado Tsunami's her sister , I messed that up .

Speaker 3

Tsunami's her sister .

Speaker 5

My bad .

Speaker 4

But look , is she ? Oh , look , you ain't wrong anyway . Um , but for those tornado , is she not tornado ? Literally , like she just straight up ?

A lot of this stuff felt like exact ripoffs and I was like , okay , I'm kind of having my gripes on this because I'm like you know what people are talking about this and I was like , oh , every you can watch is not going to take off from somebody else .

I get that , that's perfectly fine , but in some of those moments I'm like , okay , it kind of feels a bit much , at least to me , it just started feeling a bit much .

The other thing is is that one of the best parts about one punch man is that it's so much of a joke that , like , even though we show like these super strong characters , it doesn't matter what serious situation it is .

Whenever it's a serious situation , if our main character shows up , everybody's busting their gut , laughing like he , he helped , he helps handle the situation , but everybody is just having fun chilling out , and that was one of the main things the vice captain talked about .

He said shoot , you know , in this type of business that we have , we need somebody like him , somebody who can actually help out , and I want to be be great into the fact that , ok , he didn't really showcase too much to be able to , kind of you know , really say , oh , he's a full on officer . He wound up having to prove himself .

He proved himself more as a good support person . They never have an expectation that he's going to make it up , no matter

Analyzing Kaiju Number Eight Characters

what . The vice captain did not have the expectation oh , you're going to progress to the high rankings . Until he found out he was a kaiju , obviously . But other than that , he was just like eh , he said , you're probably going to be mediocre at best , but you're going to be that good mediocre because you're bringing good shit .

That you learned from your previous job and helping us out here . It's making a difference . We can figure shit out . We can make better strategies to plan out until it didn't work . I'm just saying that was the only thing he was good for . And then , all of a sudden , all the wing type showed up and his plan didn't work .

Yeah , but then he called it out on point . He was like yo , this is actually different , it's not . They don't normally do this , you're correct . So your strategy right now ain't working . They even thought he dead . They literally thought that he died . They were just like oh , that's it , he's like he's gone .

So there are moments where it's like the comedy is funny , but is it like as funny as people like ? I've seen people online they're like oh , kaijin Overeem is so super hilarious . Okay , kafka is funny .

Speaker 1

Yes , but is it like , am I ?

Speaker 4

busting a laughing . Not really . You know what's funny . You want to know what ? I busted a gut laughing . I busted a gut laughing when Kaiju number 9 showed up , reanimated that monster in the training grounds and he smacked Shonan while she was in mid-conversation when she was literally monologuing .

And he smacked shona while she was in mid conversation when she was literally monologuing and he smacked her right into the wall and then kept walking like nothing happened . I busted the gut laughing at that .

Speaker 1

I showed that to my wife laughing no , no , let me tell you my funniest part . It also had to do with kaiju number nine . When he was fighting kaiju number eight , and uh he , uh , kafka kept defying his expectations . Keep in mind , it was like the first confrontation .

He kept defining his Expectations and then he said Once again , I am so glad I watched this dub . Caillou number Nine was like oh , I'm in danger . You know I'm gonna slap his face on that meme . I'm like I ain't in danger honestly the same shit .

Speaker 4

Yeah , honestly , the sub was about the same , except instead of saying I'm in danger , he said I'm in trouble .

Speaker 1

He said he was literally like oh this , oh you're strong , oh yeah the way he said it , though the way he said just made me think of it like anybody could say , oh , I'm in danger , I'm like and whatever , but his voice was saying that I'm like hey yo , that kind of that was a little funny .

Speaker 4

Not gonna lie , unintentionally it was funny and most of the thing , most of the fight sequences , like towards the beginning , yeah , they're gonna seem like that's . That's the other thing that just reminded me very much of okay , this is just straight up , one punch man , he's taking down the monsters in one punch , one hit , boom they're gone , type of thing .

And it's not until he fights the Vice Captain all of a sudden oh yeah , we got some fight . Now it's actually kind of a fight . And even the Vice Captain . You cannot compare him to old buddy from Attack on Titan . There really is no comparison .

You can't compare him to Levi , because here's one of the things about him he admitted himself he comes down giant kaiju monsters . There's not much he can do into that . He's very limited and he had to understand his limitations . Levi says fuck limitations , this nigga will slice a motherfucking Titan's head off like it's nothing .

I ain't seen Vice Captain do that . Vice Captain's blade was strong enough to cut through the chidron number 10 . Like , and I mean actually cut through , cut through into him . But could he chop off his head ? No , couldn't happen . Oh , I sliced up your arm a little bit when you were small , when he was a giant . You wish , you wish .

So look , I got nothing but mad respect for vice captain . But I got mad respect for vice captain in that show , not vice captain , as much as like overall comparison . So it's one of those ones like we've talked about this before .

I'm sorry , I'm at a store girl just yelling , but , um , we talk little kids and little kids , but no , it's like as far as like the whole comparison thing is that it's just stop comparing anime , stop comparing anime , just just just stop like , enjoy the anime for what it is . Y'all hype me up all this time .

People were saying , oh yeah , because I haven't read the manga . So people hype me up all the time . Oh , this is so good , oh , this is gonna be this , this is gonna be this . So when it doesn't live to that expectation , well , guess what , I'm upset . I'm not upset , I'm upset , as you .

Speaker 1

That's my thing . That's why I said it gave me those vibes , but I still have to like feel it out to where it's not exactly like that . Obviously they didn't play out the same that way , because what Playboy was saying it's not like Attack of the Titans to a sense where it gets political and shit . Really it was more like a straight-up shonen .

It's like they really just made it more shonen . If you were to make that comparison , but even then I'm like it wouldn't be all that accurate .

Speaker 2

Like I said earlier before , like I already said , hey , if you truly want a true comparison , because you cannot compare this to any other anime , if that's all that you know and that's not what you watch , okay , cool , you're gonna compare it to it . But to me , this is not simply . This is not simply , this is not just okay .

It's very similar to One Punch man or Attack on Titan . It doesn't have those feels to me . When I watch this because I read the manga . When I watch this and read , yeah , nah , no , thank you , that's definitely not it . Like I said , watch Kamen Rider , amazon .

If you watch Amazon , you will understand why I say what I say , because the notions of it , especially for me , reading it as it goes , it doesn't always have that darker tone aspect , but it's like , hey , you know what ? We're right here , teetering on the edge . We can push this .

This can be gory , horrific if we just so choose , and honestly , I really hope they go for it next season . I do , because it's hygiene , like legit . I'm sorry , this is not your quote . Unquote 2016 kids kitesuits . This is not them . This is not it . Those don't exist right now .

Speaker 3

These are kitesuits , these are Tokyo Ghoul . That's what they need to do .

Speaker 2

No , tokyo Ghoul no . Like I said , it's based off Kaijus , not ghouls , because ghouls can't handle a kaiju If they're going to be kaiju if they're going to be kaiju in a sense . No , give them when they transform that I don't give a fuck about kaijus , humanity or what the fuck ever . I'm doing my job .

Speaker 5

Give them .

Speaker 2

Godzilla's whole aspect and mentality . You mean like I'll rent Godzilla or like Godzilla vs Kong . No , not like okay . So Godzilla vs Kong , that Godzilla there , when that Godzilla's like Okay , I'm just Earth's Whole entire guardian . I'm wiping out everything . It has the right mentality , but it's not as deep .

If you want to go to it , go to some of the Old Toku .

Speaker 5

Where it's like .

Speaker 1

When .

Speaker 2

Godzilla was .

Basically , godzilla destroyed all monsters when that motherfucker existed , when he was like oh no , all y'all done , lost y'all rabbit minds , excuse me , and ran through the entire roster of monsters , human beings , and then , when Ghidorah came through , literally tossed this man in the air and shocked him like a Kamehameha , like yeah , nah , nigga , nah , that one was

there , that one was that nigga . That one said to everybody hey look , I don't play around , y'all need to vote me up .

Speaker 4

So that's what I'm talking about . I think the closest thing that we have in the whole first season to that fight is the final fight sequence , when literally not even Captain , but when Kaiju number eight , when the actual Kaiju monster decided to like I don't care , I can regenerate my body , like that was when it got dangerous With his body like that .

That was cold , yeah , that was cold Twisted his body around and regenerated , then ripped out his own core and tossed it in the back Because it knew it could just Regenerate an entirely new body and didn't give a fuck . That right there was like holy shit , what ?

Speaker 1

That's what I'm saying , like legit .

Speaker 2

But you can't see that from no other kaiju Like I get this , I get this is anime , I get you wanna be like no , we're trying to be somewhat kid friendly .

Kaiju Number Eight

No , go follow Amazon , my nigga . Every time when they walk up in there , just literally , just hey Legit , he was like , okay , this motherfucker Can do something .

Speaker 1

I mean the way he was ragdolling Shinomiya , like that , like I'm like , okay , oh he , I know . I mean we know it was like the way he was ragdolling Shinomiya , like that , like I'm like , okay , oh he , I mean we know , it was like it wasn't going to go down like that , but it looked pretty convincing to where , like he was at least trying to kill him .

Speaker 2

No , I'm just saying , like season two , hey look , get on board with the people who made Solo Level . Go back , watch the entire fight , true , that entire last fight , where my buddy , god damn , used my nigga to beat an entire room . When you use a nigga to beat an entire room , you in the right direction , you in the right direction , there you go .

Fuck that Like shit . I'm just saying like it is Like nah . That's the reason why I'm giving it a C plus and close to a B minus , because , hey , you got potential to grow this first season , this first season . Now you're getting your feet wet and everything else Cool , but you got potential to grow at this point , so grow .

Speaker 1

And you know what Can I just say that I actually like the pacing this time around to where , okay , he's not going to keep up that whole secret identity shit for too long . Eventually , the core is going to find out about it . I'm like , okay , let's go from there .

Speaker 2

Alright , cool , cool . Hey , that was the part I was getting mad about . Some people was mad because , oh why he couldn't keep his secret . The fuck , he's a kaiju who he's supposed to give a damn about that ? He's the main character , by all accounts .

I know right now he possibly can't do it , but he's supposed to be able to be to the point where , when he walks in on screen , motherfuckuckers already know hey , he can beat his entire squad , your squad , the enemy squad and everybody else in between , because this nigga is the strongest nigga .

His actual kaiju proved that point by saying hey , look , my nigga , I can regenerate all day , every day . Y'all can't stop me if I don't want you To stop . That's the shit I was like . Come on now and fans , I can't let y'all Fuck this up right now . Don't do this , don't , don't , don't do this . No , please don't .

Speaker 1

Got you Anything y'all want to throw in . Playboy talk y'all want Anything y'all want to add on to all that uh , I'm just on the back end .

Speaker 5

What was y'all talking about ? It kind of sounded like y'all was talking about chainsaw man a little earlier , or we were talking a whole bunch of shit to where .

Speaker 1

Okay , stop comparing um kaiju number eight , or just stop comparing anime to other anime in general , because at this point expectations are just gonna get um ruined . And also , when we were talking about the pacing , the fight um in the last bit , so pretty much yeah , see , I wanted to .

Speaker 5

I wanted to butt in on the uh kaiju number nine , fight bro . That was funny to me . Listen , I had to play that scene back at least three times just to either , just because the laugh , to understand what happened , because part of it happened so fucking fast . Ok , so when Kafka pulled up and Kaju ate for him , right and buddy were like I'm in danger .

I heard that when he came and punched him and was flying through the air , he was like wait , why am I looking at my back ? Oh , he knocked my head off . I was like whoa he literally knocked his block off . Bro , the realization of it all just was like , I was just like him , like why the fuck are you looking at your back ?

Oh , he knocked your fucking head off .

Speaker 1

Yeah , the way they did it , to where it's like you couldn't tell that his uh head got cut off , so it was like wait , why are you saying that ? Oh ?

Speaker 5

he was like oh damn , bro , I played that bat like three times . Kafka really blissed this man . I forgot the rest of the fight because I'm not gonna lie to your earth . Well , I'm not gonna lie to your black man , so I'm gonna get too excited . You good that , bro .

I don't know if it made anybody else laugh , but it was just funny because I'm not gonna lie .

Speaker 1

I didn't think the fight was gonna go like that yeah that was like the funniest part about the whole um season and it was unintentional yeah like how strong is he really ?

Speaker 5

you don't even realize how strong he is .

Speaker 4

No , no , not at all , because they never even mentioned exactly . The only thing they know is that whenever kaiju number 8 shows up , it's just all of a sudden there's a strength magnitude of like 9.8 . I think is what they said . Yeah , it was like a 9.8 or something yeah , I wonder .

Speaker 5

Then they may correct me if I'm wrong , but um , I know they measured his scale twice , the first time and I think the second time he popped up . Then wasn't it higher the second time ?

Speaker 4

I think it was actually about no , no , okay , hold on . I remember the first time he showed up , when they um in the training grounds , he was at a 9.8 . But when he had showed up again to fight kaiju , number nine is when they said that he was actually . He actually was not using his full strength . He was only at like about a 9 at that point .

But then when he wanted to fight against the general commander , he started off at a 9.8 . And then as the fight progressed , he progressed up to like a scale of 10 and started climbing higher . They literally was like the general commander is going to die .

Speaker 1

Oh , they literally said that it was like the general commander is going to die . Oh , they literally said that . Oh , this training room was only meant to contain a fortitude up to 10.0 . And they were cracking through the second layer and shit , yeah , and also .

Speaker 3

Well , it's meant to be that we're supposed to take some damage . Bird didn't even like flinch .

Speaker 1

But no , no , no , Just picking back to what Playboy was saying , I like how he just reminded me of Frieza from Team Four , Star Bridge . Once again , I'm sorry , but just that one reference where you know it's funny . I don't normally use this form , you know . It's kind of like that one special suit , but every time I put it on , someone dies .

This is true .

Speaker 4

But I think also one of the things about it during that Kaiju no 9 fight , like Kafka was out for blood at that point he intended for him to die . Every hit was intention for him to die and that was that point . The worst part about it is that he almost did it .

He hit him so hard , like when he knocked him through I think it was like 12 buildings , and then dude , dude . As soon as he hit the ground , kafka was already there like dude , was already at that point , like oh , you thought that you was gonna get a second to rest and breathe .

Speaker 3

Nah , br bruh , it's over you reminded me of that scene from Avengers , when Hulk had grabbed Loki and was just moving him back and forth , back and forth .

Speaker 4

Oh , no , no , no , you know he actually did that . He did that to the Commander General . It was very brief , but it was during the time where Captain was trying to get to his mental . He did . He tossed the Commander General in the air and grabbed him by his legs and then just started whaling him .

Ever since Avengers did that , that's just the normal monster thing to do . Now Almost every single monster fight . That's crazy .

Speaker 1

You know , you know , another moment that Kind of impressed me was Okay , you're going to get Kaiju number 10 now , and now there's going to be this whole bomb that's going to blow up the whole city and all that shit .

Bro , I was not prepared for this dude to be prepared to like um kind of like um dermal shapeshift into having like some um jet boosters on his forearms and um and his um legs and shit . And then he's like I blasted him and one-punched that shit . I'm like , hey , yo , like he got some tricks up his sleeve .

Speaker 4

Right , but I think even he wasn't even prepared for that . He was just on a moment's notice . He's like I just need to get high and I need to get high fast , and then like was just boom .

Speaker 1

He did it Like I'm locked .

Speaker 3

Bro almost died in in front of his daughter . That's crazy that part .

Speaker 4

Look like , imagine that moment . He's like new cries at the hospital , like , oh , thank god you're alive . Oh , if you died I could never face your daughter again . Like yeah , bro , but um , I do like the fact that we started getting .

I did want to mention something that uh tuck had mentioned we started getting character development , but I was upset because it felt like we was going to get more . The most character development we got Is that Reno has a rival , the dude that's got the teeth that swear he wants to be Bakugou or that rock dude From .

Speaker 1

Mario Academia . Yeah , he had that whole .

Speaker 3

Yes .

Speaker 4

Literally , he's a rival . That's the only background we have For him . Is that he's a rival , I guess . Other than that , we got the two dudes that Swore they were going to be on top Until they found out old girl was super powerful . Then they're just like , well , we still going to Try to do our best . So we got those two rivals going on right now .

But other than that , one is ex-military , the other's rich . That's really it . Oh , he's rich and don't talk to his dad . Let me mention that , other than that that's really it . We don't get nothing else . There's not as much other character building like .

Speaker 1

That's actually one of the weaker points to me that I had graded onto this so and that's funny too , because , uh , we were just talking about windbreaker and how it felt like , okay , a whole bunch of characters being thrown at us , but at least it feels like they actually are characters and , um , some of them may have well , no , yeah , yeah , some of them have

a fair amount of character builds , you know like a whole positive chain arc and all that shit . So , yeah , but yeah , we're going back to the shit , to where it just seems like they're just kind of filling in slots until we get more episodes .

Speaker 4

So yeah , that was about the only thing I really had into it , because I mean , like Talo said as well , this one would have really succeeded . Combining what would have been season 1 and 2 , like making it a 24 episode , oh , this probably would have succeeded significantly more . But kind of shorten it up at 12 .

It just kind of felt like I mean this is still good , but like could it have been better ? Almost definitely . Like there's please , sir , may I have some more ? That part good , but could it have been better ? Oh , most definitely .

Speaker 1

Please , sir , have some more .

Speaker 4

That part , I felt like my main quest got shorted up a little bit .

Speaker 3

I like that .

Speaker 4

Other than that , I gave it a B rating . There's definitely still good things into it , I think , for me . I think I'm also just a tad confused on Talos' grading scaling , because he said an 8.9 and then said a C and I was confused because I could have sworn last time 8.9 was a , b , so wait a second , did I ?

Speaker 3

miss something . That's a DM for you man , Okay , so the scaling that I gave it .

Speaker 2

as far as number-wise , the number scaling is for my personal views on it , because I see the potential in it . The actual scaling the letter grading is where it's actually set , because it's right now is relatively within C tier . It could possibly be B tier but low B tier but , like I said , that's because of the potential that I see .

It has enough potential to , like I said , it has enough potential to get up there and become something great . At the same time , it also has enough potential to fuck up .

Speaker 1

Right , like , see , that's why I would say , with Kajun on Raid , so far it's passable , with potential , but it didn't leave that strong of an effect , at least not throughout the whole thing . It's like a little moment where I'm like , okay , I like this moment and that moment , that's about it . There you go .

Uh , do we have anything else we want to add on to all this ? Like , I know we kind of like . That's why I said , like season one , it was even that he was like , okay , introduce the character . Uh , he becomes a kaiju , he joins the defense force , his secret identity gets revealed .

He's now on probationary period to see if he's going to get asked to the defense force . It wasn't that deep , I mean , aside from them fighting kaiju number 9 and number 10 and kaiju number 9 going to come back and , once again , not going to say too much about what happens after season 1 . But yeah , I mean it's building up somewhere .

Speaker 3

So yeah , did y'all read the trailer . Well , I know Talos did .

Speaker 1

Just a little bit . I would like in and out of the manga .

Speaker 3

So what can be some expectations of season two ? Do you know Talos ? Without too much spoiler .

Speaker 2

Okay , expectations of season two . Do you know , tell them without too much spoiler , okay , so for some of y'all , I'm gonna say it like it is right , all right , best way I can put it is like how y'all were saying like , oh , it has one punch man vibes and such and such and such and such . Okay , so it's it's .

It's the way they're doing it , in which I hope they figure out by the way , please figure out , by the way .

But they are literally going the route that how , once one punch man went as far as like it's built up , one Punch man went as far as like it's build up , from what I'm gathering , and now , while that , like I said , and with that in itself it's potential can either Shine into some greatness or it can flop , yeah and um , I really wish they hadn't done the

12th episode Type deal , Because there's a lot In the manga that , See , that's really why I say I really wish they hadn't done a 12-episode type deal , Because there's a lot in the manga that , ooh , when y'all get to it , it's like all right , yeah , yeah , this man can throw hate .

Discussion on Anime Pacing and Accuracy

What the fuck you mean ? Like it doesn't feel like how y'all are saying oh shit , this is One Punch man type . This is killing everything with one punch . Okay , actually that's a question I have for you , talon , it's starting to get to be where , like how okay , like how it is currently in One Punch man when One .

Punch man is actually like alright , I actually got somebody that's keeping up even though he's knocking the pranks off . Old buddy , it's just , they're durable . We'll put it like that the durability of people goes up .

Speaker 1

I mean if we can hold on real quick , coach Gus , before I let you do it . I wouldn't even say it Just a little hint , like every time , like it was like maybe one , two monsters , two monsters that he just like tight time a punch and defeated .

But then a bunch of times like it wasn't always like that's where there was some opponents that he actually had to like do , like flurry of blows and shit . So that was about the extent of it's where some of the kaiju were just so weak that he just blasted with one punch . But yeah like really strong .

Then I'm like nah , he's he glad to put in some effort yeah , it's like he's gonna run some of where .

Speaker 2

It's like , yeah , ain't , no such thing is you , you , you can just float it . No , especially one of the fights that I was really known . Yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah . That month , that month I pulled out the new shit , but once again for how dare you so goodbye , okay .

Speaker 4

Well , that's what I wanted to ask you uh so far . How would you say , is uh the accuracy as far as anime ratio so far ?

Speaker 2

Okay , okay . So there on , that is another reason . That's why we're here . Right , it's , it's not . It's accurate , but it's not accurate . So that's the context . It's accurate , but it's like yeah , yeah , I can Tell they squished Together A couple of Manga chapters To make something , but Not all of it got it .

Speaker 4

Yeah , you know what , cause it felt like stuff Was missing , per say Like I could feel that At some point .

Speaker 1

Yeah , like , um , I was . I know this might be a little derailed , but hear me out , I'm trying to think about Demon Slayer , to where , okay , the Hashira training arc is Pretty much over with in about one episode .

And then Infinity Castle Is going to be split up into three movies and if they did the tv format like I thought they was going to do , chances are it would have had 26 episodes spread out through all those chapters . Now , okay , that makes sense . That's like a full season , right .

And then that means the final showdown is based on how many chapters is in the final showdown , including the epilogue . I can speculate that there's going to be either 8 to 12 episodes in the final art . That's just a guess . It might be more , it might be less , I don't know .

It's just speculation based on okay , normally when they uh animate , uh manga , it has like two to three chapters per episode . So I'm trying to figure out how y'all like , how much fat were you trimming off the chapters in the manga to come up with 12 episodes , like that's what I'm saying .

Speaker 4

With the pacing , it was like almost a little too fast yeah , cause , like some points for me was the fact that , like , without them saying something , like when you go from one episode , from like whenever Kaiju no Rei appears , like whenever Kafta switches , and then all of a sudden it feels like they had back to back attacks , like I honestly thought all this

shit was happening within the past couple days , and then all of a sudden they're just like oh no , this happened three weeks ago . Oh no , this happened like two weeks ago .

Speaker 2

Oh , this was almost a month ago , yeah , and I'm like , wait , what the fuck ? Yeah , but the pacing makes you feel like , oh , that shit just was a matter of days .

Speaker 1

Yeah , like he just felt , like that shit happened yesterday .

Speaker 4

Like what the fuck ? Because I'm sitting here thinking all that they ain't getting no motherfucking rest like my base got attacked and then they got attacked again and there was a whole another shit and I'm just like oh shit , all this is a war .

Speaker 2

I'm like yeah , by the way , side note um real quick to you , uh , demon slayer fans and everything else that kept being like Talos , get tried . Let the tunnel bleed , it gets better and everything else Bitch . You lied to me . You lied , you lied , you horrible fuckers . You lied Because all it was was little kids going out to fight .

A goddamn demonic possessed Michael Jackson and they whooped his ass in the fucking end but all of them died . That's it . Fuck you .

Speaker 4

Well , hey , hey , hey , you can't seem to say spoilers , man .

Speaker 2

Don't do that .

Speaker 1

Don't do that yet .

Speaker 4

Don't do that . I get your frustration . I completely understand . Look , I'm just saying I'm sorry . I'm sorry to y'all .

Speaker 2

I'm sorry to y'all that have not read it yet , and I for y'all that have not read it yet , and I get y'all following along with the anime if the anime is not there . But same fucking time . They lied to me , they just lied .

Speaker 4

I could have told you that . I could tell based on the Look . My biggest gripe is the fact that we have a 20-something minute episode , which is normal standard , got you ? Why is almost half of that shit a recap , bro ? Like just Every goddamn episode is a recap .

I was like bro , okay , something jumps off of the pace going to it , but I mean , that's a story for a different time .

Speaker 3

I get you . I'm so sorry .

Speaker 4

I apologize on their behalf that they led you astray .

Speaker 2

Because I was excited from the animation . That was it . Like I said , this is why and here's my thing of bringing it back full circle this is why I say I don't give things the GOAT title until I know for certain how shit gonna go . That's fair . That right there makes it where it's like no .

This is why I had to shut some fans down about Kaiju number eight . Hey no , we're not there yet . They're just in their first season . This is a baby . You can't give them the GOAT title right now . You can't say it has GOAT potential . It's not there yet .

Speaker 1

Hold on , fellas .

See , this is why bringing back old feelings where I'm still heated to this day , when they had the whole Crunchyroll Awards and they gave Demon Slayer Anime of the Decade and I'm like slow your roll , sure , okay , I'll let you have that all day , but Anime of the Decade Feels very invalidating to a lot Of shit that happened between 2011 and 2020 .

So I'm like whoa , where you From ? It's only one season now that part .

Speaker 4

Too much A war that it did not deserve . If y'all agree on this that part .

Speaker 2

There are a lot of things that relatively deserve that more than it . This is why I told folks , even with my hero , like hey , with my hero , like hey , look here my hero . You got to let it get done . We're going to see if it's worth it , because right now it's not worth it .

Speaker 4

Hey , yo Now let me mention something real quick . Well , hold on , never mind , jb , you go ahead , because I want to take it back real quick with Kaijin O'Reilly . I did have one last thing before we close out Go ahead .

Speaker 1

Based on , you know , my hair academic closing out , you know . And then this final chapter is going to end in August .

Speculations on My Hero Academia Spin-Offs

Y'all think there's going to be a sequel series .

Speaker 2

Hell . No , it better , not it better not , it better not . What you talking about better not . It better not . What you talking about better not .

Speaker 1

It better , not it better , fuck not . Nope , you don't want Deku next generation .

Speaker 3

No , yes , this is fucking right , it's all from my hero academia to my favorite hero in the world .

Speaker 2

Nope , because , goddamn . Nope , because you know why ? Because then you're going to hear I motherfucking somebody .

Speaker 5

Where's ?

Speaker 2

all my Where's All Might . Where's All Might you All Might trash fans you . I ain't got time for that , I got you .

Speaker 3

That's what I was about to say . They need to make a prequel for All Might .

Speaker 4

Didn't they do that ? Wasn't there already a movie as a prequel for him ?

Speaker 2

No , Not relatively .

Speaker 1

A little backstory , but not a full origin story .

Speaker 2

Yeah , it showcased some of it , but it didn't really do like the origin story , like if that I would . That would be the only thing I agree with . As far as agreeing with Tuck , I will . I will agree that if they're going to do anything else extra , hey , give All Might his story , show All Might's story , and I'm talking about go into it .

Go into it as to why . Because , literally , as it is the current all for one right , how did he come about Tell that story ?

Speaker 1

Yeah , I was curious about that too .

Speaker 4

Hold on . They did actually talk a little bit about how he came in . So we got an understanding of his backstory a little bit in the manga chapters Because they actually did kind of talk into it as far as all the way from him and his brother's birth and everything and then kind of what he did .

It wasn't wholly dedicated , but it was like that chapter itself was definitely dedicated .

Speaker 2

Yeah , they gave a little smattering of it , but at the same time there was like , okay , that's just the relative powers , that could be just relatively anybody , that could have been anybody . It's not saying that current All for One , because if we're going to look at that , the current All for One is Shigaraki . Think about it , right .

So an all for one and one for all have been transferred several , several times .

Speaker 5

Yeah , true , they've been transferred .

Speaker 2

You know what I'm saying ? They've been transferred several times , so that's why I say like , look , hey , if you're gonna do something , alright , cool .

I relatively take the story of showing how all for one and one for all came to be , because there are immense fan theories that all for one and one for all Are , the reason being that there are actual quirks in that universe . They're what started the quirks in that universe .

Speaker 1

They're what started the quirks , yeah , and that's why I'm so curious . I'm like hold on , like so y'all not gonna flesh out that part , like that's like important information .

Speaker 3

Like that's a whole . Yeah , I love when the baby was born , bruh . Like that's not even . That's not enough .

Speaker 4

It's true , okay , okay . Well , let me bring it back to kaiju number eight quickly , something else that I kind of wanted to mention into as far as the , the suits , their , their tech . So we understand also in the fact of , like , when they kill a number kaiju , they turn them into , uh , into , like kaiju number weapons .

I do feel we could have gotten more flesh outs into them , otherwise we're just kind of getting like little shots of of it , like , so we love mina . Mina's cannon is a kaiju number . Can't we get that ? We see the number on it . That's about it . We don't know shit else about

Kaiju Weapon and Suit Analysis

that . Like , okay , well , what the fuck else happened ?

like the fuck , like that what's the back on the kaiju that the weapon was made like , exactly , exactly because we only got a backstory on kaiju number two , and then there's so much of a reference to kaiju number six , kaiju numbers , so all these other previous kaijus that got numbers apparently ain't shit compared to kaiju number six .

Kaiju number six killed hundreds of officers and two captains and it's like the most destructive shit ever type of thing . Who got the fucking Kaiju number six weapon ? Like , does anyone have that ? Did y'all make a weapon out of it ? Like what's really fucking going on to that shit ? Um , and then , like the tech winds up getting like shot up a little bit .

And what I mean by that is this is that when old girl first showed up , she's testing out a little bit . And what I mean by that is this is that when old girls first showed up , she's testing out a new prototype , and that shit got ditched instantly .

So , like I , I would have the expectation that , oh , when they put on the suits they're all going to be I , I , like all of them , are either gonna have the same suits that she has or hers is more advanced , that she's going to be using her own special suit and instead of why , why everyone else is using the suits that they're given because she's rich like

that or you know , because her daddy is her daddy and she got like experimental gear . But you notice the fact that like we see her prototype suit , her special suit , which , um , when she first shows up and we never see that shit again , it is fucking gone . There's no talks about it , no more .

We're just now in oh , this is all , these are your new suits that you're going to have . And it's like the fuck , like I'm confused , like what happened to her super special suit that she had that's supposed to be more powerful or something than the suits that they had ?

Like she kind of hyped that shit up like it was supposed to be something special and then it was like it was damn near nothing , so it was like what the fuck is up with that ?

Speaker 1

The way she put her hair , was it number four ?

Speaker 4

Which one Mina's weapon .

Speaker 2

No her axe .

Speaker 4

Yeah , her axe was Kaiju , number four . Yeah , I think it was number four .

Speaker 3

And it really didn't do nothing to the Kaiju too . Yeah , it didn't even knock the scales off .

Speaker 1

Really Nothing .

Speaker 3

Some regular swords had to knock the scales off , but not a kaiju , that didn't make no sense .

Speaker 4

It did , but I think that was . But also , some of that was based upon how the suit powers were supposed to work . Because , like , remember so , based on your power output , it makes a difference on your weapon .

Because , keep in mind onto this , mina is badass with her gun , but the thing is that she brings out 96% of the power From the Kaiju suit , versus the Vice Captain , vice Captain pulls out 92% , and they're the only two people that we see . As far the General Commander , we're going to assume he does 100 or maybe 99 . Let's just say 99% is the best .

Speaker 1

Yeah , they say , you gotta be something special if you can do at least 90% .

Speaker 4

Yeah .

Speaker 3

The Vice Captain had Ultra Instinct too .

Speaker 2

I'm gonna say this right now . I just thought about this . Jesus Christ , I just realized this is nothing more than the updated version of fucking God , yeah literally yeah , yes , it is , yeah , yeah , 100% is . There's nothing more than the updated version of God Eater .

Because when you were saying about that , like how it's like maybe one kaiju that was just fucking here and right here . I had to think , alright , where the fuck have I heard this concept before ? Oh wait , that's right . God , either Because in God , either there are certain ones that supposedly have the titles of like oh yeah , this motherfucker's strong as hell .

But there was one fucking ulcer that literally just wiped out entire armies , but it was supposedly weaker than the . So how did so ? Yeah , Everybody's like oh shit , yeah , yeah . And then all these other kaijus and shit , but kaiju number six is the one that gets the most fucking hype , because kaiju number six literally was like gets the most Fucking hype .

Because Kaiju number 6 Literally was like I'ma show you on the bad ass , y'all forgetting the mystery , though , of the greatest Kaiju Of all time , kaiju number triple zero , the nigga so fly .

Speaker 1

Bro get the hell out of here with that shit .

Speaker 2

If you don't see , I'll be trying to give you hope .

Speaker 4

We're having a serious conversation .

Speaker 2

I'll be trying to give you hope and grace and shit . You just fucking up , you fucking up .

Kaiju Number Six Theory Discussion

If it wasn't for the fact that I got some stuff to do , you'd be the first thing to die tomorrow . God damn , wait , hold on a second . You'd be the first thing to die tomorrow , the dynamite . But you , you be first thing dynamite , because I , I damn sure , pulled godly intervention that went .

Speaker 4

That went way further than I thought it was gonna go hold a second . I'm dead , literally . What the fuck hell what the fuck ?

Speaker 2

you be tired , you be tired to have a PTSD from damn near dying in D&D . You should .

Speaker 1

I am not gonna lie , bro you straight up oh yeah , you know what , mr Joseph man , I got something for you .

Speaker 4

My nigga went straight Like Kendrick on that ass . I hate the way this . I wish niggas like you would die . I give him the benefits on that ass I hate the way he's .

Speaker 5

I wish niggas like you would die Like sick your nigga right , I'd give him the benefit of the doubt .

Speaker 2

I'd be like that is wholesome .

Speaker 4

That is wholesome .

Speaker 2

Meet the .

Speaker 4

Grams type shit .

Speaker 3

Man , that's just a dope ass , kaiju , I don't know what to tell you , anyway .

Speaker 4

But yeah , there's this whole big thing about Kaiju number six and it's like , is anyway , but yeah , like this is whole big thing about kaiju number six and it's like , is the biggest thing the fact that the that the general commander , that his wife died , or is the biggest thing that all these people died ?

Because everyone keeps talking about the kaiju number six incident and it keeps bringing up , oh yeah , the general commander's , what old girl's mom died , old girl's mom died . That was like the biggest thing . Then , all of a sudden , now now we're sitting here like , oh , oh , yeah , no , he's super powerful and stuff , but we ain't hearing nothing else about it .

Like , what is happening ? Like , who are these other people ? Where are the other Kaijus at ? Where is this information ?

Speaker 2

Oh , by the way . By the way , by the way and I'm not giving stuff away , but I'm going to tell y'all something there is a relative theory as to how these things work . What ? Y'all know they're saying that Kaiju no 6 is not dead . I want y'all just to keep that in your head . They're saying Kaiju no 6 is not dead .

Speaker 4

That's true . That's true . There's nothing that's they don't actually say that .

It's nothing , that , actually , because they don't actually Say that it's still alive , but they don't Say , oh yeah , we , like it was a , it was hard to kill and take down , type of thing like I would especially commend , like commander general is probably going to Wind up using his killer as His main weapons , type shit , but he doesn't , and so it's like

Something seems a tad off .

Speaker 1

Wait , wait , reno gets the number six weapon . So they did Wait , wait , wait a minute .

Speaker 4

Wait , wait , wait .

Speaker 2

When did ?

Speaker 4

that happen in the anime .

Speaker 2

See , listen , here's the thing . Here's the thing , jim Black . This is the reason why I say there's , a reason why , like I said , I'm not spoiling nothing for nobody , because I want them to relatively know what theories are coming out of the manga as well , right , gotcha .

Speaker 5

Here's the thing behind it .

Speaker 2

They're saying that even though you kill a kaiju , there's no way for people to Kill a kaiju Like you can't kill it all the way . Case in point they're going back , based off how the actual Kaiju for number 8 literally Pulled his own core out and showed he can regenerate .

Speaker 1

They're saying all of them can do that .

Speaker 2

Okay , I see where you're getting at now they're saying if you don't destroy , like if you don't relatively know you've destroyed them completely , then they come back . Some of them may come back slower than others , but they come back . And of them may come back slower than others , but they come back and they're saying with how strong Six was .

They're saying Six is still out there .

Speaker 4

Okay , you kind of did a big jump on that , talking about Reno getting the weapon . We ain't seen that in the 12 episodes yet . Don't do that , my bad .

Speaker 2

Wait , we ain't seen that in the 12 episodes . Yet don't do that . Wait , we ain't seen this . What you doing , bro ?

Speaker 4

wait a second , wait a minute look .

Speaker 2

This is why I say , like legit it's , it's theories to this , it's theories to this . So take it what you will . Take it with a grain of salt . I express to everybody legit , hey , go through , read stuff . Please Read things . I'd rather you read .

That way you can come up with your own theories , just in case the anime doesn't have everything from the manga , then you can be like nah , but this happened here yeah , see , my thing is , as a manga reader , I'm into a point to where I feel like I'm burdened with great knowledge . That part , that part Be that way .

It'd be like I'm burdened with great knowledge . Especially when it came to solo leveling , I was like ooh , ooh , ooh .

Speaker 4

There's like oh like , I greatly appreciate you carrying that . Thank you so much for real .

Speaker 1

It was a while back when we were talking about my hero academia and , uh , we were talking about all my non-tuck was on and it was like wait , what you know ?

Speaker 2

I'm like it's tough , it believes me , it's stuff . That's why I just be like please , please read , just read , just read , because it's Just read .

Speaker 3

Don't remind me of that .

Speaker 1

I was like man , listen , don't test me , man , I know shit .

Speaker 2

I know I'm a little detour . It's why I tell folks hey , I'd rather you read One Punch man than watch it yeah . Currently where One Punch man is Now , shit is Fuck . Shit is right now Like legit Legit . I'm still trying to be like , okay , you got a , I'm not gonna spoil it .

But when you get to the point Of , hey , I'm Multiversal , and I know I'm multiversal , and I know I'm multiversal because literally , a person who is .

Speaker 3

I didn't read the manga , though Y'all know who First Cherry is .

Speaker 2

Huh .

Speaker 3

Y'all know who it is . Though you like , yes or no , you almost at me .

Speaker 4

Yes , you do Wait . Yeah , I thought they said who it was no , no More .

Speaker 1

like he's asking on TV , like meet him , Michelle , I don't know who it is .

Speaker 4

You don't know who it's Blast .

Speaker 3

Yeah , who's name ?

Speaker 4

is Blast . Who is that ? That's explained in the first season ?

Speaker 3

I don't remember . I don't remember man . It's been so long we ain't never seen him or nothing . He's just always absent . You ain't seen him in the anime , but in the manga .

Speaker 4

We've seen enough of this guy . We've seen quite a bit of this guy .

Speaker 2

Yeah , that motherfucker there . That motherfucker there . Look when we say he's the top number one look , when we say he's number one for a reason , he's number one for a reason .

Speaker 3

You're the only person . Spoil me right after this .

Speaker 4

Oh my .

Speaker 2

God Boy .

Speaker 4

But either way , just like you were saying , one Punch man , it feels like to me that I would probably benefit better on Kaiju no Rei reading as a manga than watching the anime . Like the animation is good , I love the animation , but yeah , it's just that like to me it did . It felt like there was shit missing .

So , understanding like I felt like something was off , especially the pacing , and then just being told , oh , this was weeks and months , but it felt like it was within a couple weeks together , type shit . I understand that you said there's a couple things that wound up getting eliminated .

I I kind of question if that stuff got eliminated is actually going to be important , because maybe some of the stuff that got eliminated might also be like that character building from the other characters . Like the most we know these other characters one dude he don't talk to his dad after this , after that incident . Well , nigga , what the fuck is that incident ?

Like the fuck you talking about ? Okay , so you got a little bit of it , so are we going to build up onto this shit ? And then it's like it's dropped , it's fucking dropped and it's like yo wait , hold up , that's it .

Speaker 3

He don't talk to his dad , but he got access to the money .

Speaker 4

Yeah , and it's like you got access to money and then man , that fucking chef , I would've kicked his ass . I'm not gonna lie to you . A little bit Dude was like Only the fuck Nigga popped up saying this is Wagyu Grade A6 shit . And they was like A6 and they had to put a note on it . They're like there's no such thing as A6 . This is fake .

And I'm sitting here like you better put that shit out there . What the fuck ? And dudes sit here like I told you Cheap nigga , cheap . You out here trying to rob my pockets , nigga , no , I ain't got money like that . We'll charge you the standard rate . I nigga , my money is not for you to play with . I specified Like I was mad as hell .

I'm just sorry , I was mad as hell , I'm just sorry , I was mad as hell . The shit Cause if I say I want cheap , give me some cheap shit , something simple . I ain't trying to splurge Like that .

And you out here Telling people I got money on top of money , on top of stacks Money , like that , I'm gonna be mad as fuck At you , especially if I'm trying To lay low . Ain't nobody told me to put my business out there like that , bro , I'm sorry , I don't think I have anything more . That chef one just kind of popped me out of nowhere .

I'm sorry , but I don't think I really have anything more for the show 12 episodes in residence floor .

Speaker 1
