What up, gang? Let's talk about Undead Unlocked 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 I honestly wanted to get around to review it, but for some reason I just kept forgetting about it up until kopegasu here mentioned that 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 it and then determine if I want to review it. So I watched it. Here we are now, let's go ahead and get into it.
Speaker 1:So it stars fuko izumo, who's an 18 year old girl who, living in seclusion for 10 years since an incident that left more than 200 people dead, including her parents, when she was eight years old. Following a completion of her favorite long-running shoujo manga series, fruko decides to commit suicide, but, uh, she's tormented by the fact that her unluck ability brings bad luck to anyone she directly comes into contact with, and she soon meets a undead man who has this amazing regenerative abilities and who desires to die the best death possible, disliking his immortal life. So, for the sake of convenience, fruko names him Andy, because he is undead and he can really go by that name for a while, but that can be explained later and they begin working together. However, they soon see themselves being chased by the Union, a mysterious organization. Eventually, an assassin of the Union called Shin tells them that the organization has a special team consisting of 10 people with special abilities and that by joining the team, they will no longer be hunted. So the two decide to join in order to attain Andy's wish for the best death and face numerous enemies and mysteries of the world. The missions of the team are proposed by a book called Apocalypse, which has supernatural powers. There are people with the ability to negate the rules of the world, called negators. The union is an organization of negators specialized in the hunting of Y world. Called negators, the union is an organization of negators specialized in the hunting of Yuma, or unidentified and mysterious animals. But they're not even they don't even look like animals, anyways creatures that are the embodiment of the earth's rules, such as thirst and decay, and they are created by God as both the objectives for the quest provided by Apocalypse as well as punishment for failing them. They must also defeat A group of negators that opposes the union cult Under and regulators being told them to do God's bidding Now.
Speaker 1:First of all, can I just say Frupa has a fairly nice rap Because she hurts her body, but she seems blessed for two reasons. And secondly, she had a lot of hair under her beanie until andy gave her a haircut, which I found, uh, it makes sense, but I'm like, damn, that's a lot of hair rapunzel. So the more fuko likes the person, the worse her unluck will be. So if a kiss can summon a meteor, andy figured that sex will be the key for this ultimate death. So I'm like I mean, I do appreciate that andy's being a gentleman, um, about his approach where it's like, yeah, he kind of brought it up, but I'm like, all right, well, you know, I'll take it slow, you know, but uh, from Jokes aside, it has an Intriguing power system and tactical Battles.
Speaker 1:I saw a bunch Of references like Spongebob, dragon Ball, final Fantasy and Star Wars references. And it has this second Personality, victor, when the Card in his forehead is removed. And it's sad how a few Of the main cast share a tragic Story of how their powers caused the death of their families, which traumatized them into desiring death. Billy turns out to be the leader of Under the negator hunters seeking revenge on the world, and he betrays the Union and steals the round table, but they get the table back. But uh, it was like no, no, no, they got Apocalypse. No, they got it back and steals the round table, but they get the table back. But uh, no, no, no, they got Apocalypse, they got it back. I'm Details getting kind of jumbled up, honestly, and I like how Fuku's favorite Manga plays a factor in this story, including the fact that they have to hunt down the author of Anu, who goes by Akira Kuno or something like that, before we go any further. Koki Gatsu, how do you feel about Undead Unlocked? What made you want to review this one?
Speaker 2: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 little solo reviews and if, when you guys listen to it, you'll be hearing me say a lot that hulu just keeps recommending to me isekai and it's isekai after isekai, and I was like, oh my god, I need something different, please something different. And then I came across undead unlock. Now the thing about it is this is that, yeah, so the anime was in 2023. The manga was a few years before. I remember seeing coming across the manga when I was like, uh, what was? I think it's at my public library and somebody had donated the manga, had donated a couple books of the manga to the um, to the library. So I was like, you know what? Sure I'll give it a try.
Speaker 2:And so I checked out the first book and kept reading and I was mad that I never finished it because I was like no, but it was just entertaining, like it's just stupid funny, and it just kind of went back to because you know, we watch so many anime now that has great storylines to it, but they're always so serious.
Speaker 2:Every now and again you have some funny moments but and it's like we just jump right into isekai, everything now, and I'm just like, oh, my god, it can be something else. Can we go back? So it felt like going back to the old school funny animes. That was their own original story. It's not an isekai, it's not reincarnated to another world type of thing, and I'm like, thank god, something different. And so it was just entertaining. Like that's pretty much. The main thing that got me into it is that I enjoyed the story. Um, I enjoyed the characters. You know andy and his uh, I guess not, I mean, you've already kind of got far enough but his alternate personality, victor, like victor, was just dope, to be honest with you. But and I love how creative they are, because you see, in a lot of times where some of the best anime that I've ever watched and best manga I've ever read is always the point of somebody has the most simple ability but they use it in such creative ways and that's what like becomes the biggest thing. Like you see, some other one, um, I cannot remember the name of the anime, but the anime is where the kid, the main character, his power, seems super 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 on about it, like, oh, it's like the dumbest power, but it's like, oh, he made it work. You know, he made that an ability to use. He was very creative and strategic how he does it.
Speaker 2:And you know you got some ones where it's like, oh, they have, um, oh, my magic healing ability is just that heal, which you know which one I'm about, I'm talking about anyway, his magic ability is to heal. But every time he heals someone he steals, like their ability not well, not steals, but he kind of copies their ability because to properly heal them he just kind of gets their additional thing and stuff. So I was like, oh, okay, cool, that sounds pretty interesting. That sounds like you know you're being creative on how just to be able to learn and kind of do different stuff. And so andy was like, oh, I can't die, I just magically regenerate. But I can create different ways that I regenerate. If I regenerate my finger and like, hold the regeneration, I can create a bullet with my finger, but I hold the regeneration of my legs, I can just keep projecting blood flying like a rocket through the sky. It's like just the most creative ways of doing so and then he believes in his own limitation, yeah.
Speaker 2:And then, like andy really had his own limitation because he thought that, oh okay, well, I've never lost my head before. That might be the only thing that kills me per se, like I've had it damaged, but I never lost my head before. So if I lose my head, that might be why it is that I will um, that might be what it is that kills me, type of thing, and not realizing that, no, you're literally just purely immortal. Sorry, your head can get sloshed to a bunch of pieces and it makes no difference. Never even thought about the whole cloning thing. It's like victor. That's what made victor my favorite character is the fact that, like he was like, oh no, I use my immortality to his utmost potential. I create clones of myself because I command them to regenerate and then I can choose to discipline them.
Speaker 1:Spider-Man Venom dynamic, where Spider-Man he doing his daring do against the villains up until he encounters Venom for the first time and venom has a similar power set, except venom's caliber is stronger, to where his webbing and what nice like stronger because he's like he's built to have more power and strength, while uh, spider-man is more the athletic type, like not, I mean spider-man is pretty strong, but venom you can just tell like he. Just it's almost like watching driving ball and you know the sayings. But then they go up against broly and like as far, like as far as I remember, because, aside from that, maybe the um training session that they had during dragon ball, super, super hero, like I don't recall them. Well, shit, my bad. Uh, the uncanned inversion was beat by goku.
Speaker 1:Uh, the canon version technically didn't lose, it's more like t-lock, just being them to another plan, so he doesn't die. So it's like, oh well, he was on the road but he didn't lose. It's more like t-lock just beamed him to another planet, so he doesn't die. So it's like, oh well, he was on the road but he didn't lose. It's more like, hey, yo, let's cut this out, but uh, yeah, like broly, where it's like he's also a saiyan, but he's so much stronger that he really given our heroes a run for their money. So that's why I kind of like featuring that aspect too with the blood blaze.
Speaker 2:That's why I kind of like, too, where not only did it remind me of blood bending from avatar, but also reminded me of we're gonna review later on this year dead man wonderland so that's the thing for me is like, yeah, like I love seeing power systems of people not abusing their powers, but like being creative out of the box, like really kind of thinking of different ways of doing stuff. That's what really gives me into an anime when I'm just like OK, that's a very simple one, like I did a review on to realistic hero and realistic hero or him, he's not like a power, he doesn't use his powers in like a fighting way, though he could. It's ideally. His powers is like poltergeist. He's able to copy his consciousness into inanimate objects and so they're acting as if he's there writing it himself, and he can do it to like multiple objects at a time, all at the same time. You would see a system like that in a fighting anime where it's like, oh, this person is able to draw multiple swords and it's like I'm fighting him, I'm watching him, but it's like I'm fighting three of him and I'm hitting these other swords, so you can see the person struggling because it feels like he's going to jump like a four-on-one fight type of thing. But then our protagonist in that that way he doesn't do it, that way he actually winds up doing it to handle paperwork. He's like, and I was like, oh wait, that's actually true.
Speaker 2:And then it's the exact same way as the shadow clone jutsu works in the manga, and I have to stress that because they don't showcase the shadow clone jutsu's full abilities in the anime like it should, until you get to sheep with him, which we are currently reviewing. But so whatever happens in the shadow clones, a shadow clone could go and learn something, and when they disappear, all of that knowledge goes straight to the user as if they were there learning it themselves. It's like, whatever the shadow clone does, it happens technically to you as well too. So you want to take a shadow clone to go learn a third language, second language or third language when that shadow clone dissipates, congratulations, you now have learned that language, because shadow clone did type of thing. And it's the same way that it works out for that hero's culture, guys. It's the fact that if wait, wait, wait, wait.
Speaker 1:Uh, yeah, wait, hold on, wait, finish what you gotta say, but hurry up because I got something to talk about all right.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, so this is so. With the poltergeist, it's the same way. If he hadn't creates like a magic hand that's, uh, on a book and it's going through, the hand could scan across the book and it's like him reading it. So it's like he's gaining knowledge as the hand is doing something, as the inanimate object is doing what it does. That's all that was finishing up.
Speaker 1:I want to talk about the humans. I want to talk about the humans because art in this anime, in this manga series, in this story, 98 times well as of when Andy and Pucco joined the union 98 occasions when rules were added to the world, and I think it's fucking crazy how, if it wasn't for these Yumas, the world wouldn'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 was the only planet until Yuma galaxy?
Speaker 2:earth wasn't even a planet. It was the only plane of existence until Yuma galaxy. No, that's. Earth wasn't even a planet. It was the only plane of existence until Human Galaxy.
Speaker 1: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 comedy series 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 it works, but it also pisses me off because of the implications, because not just Human Galaxy but all the other things. Like you mean to tell me no human died until you must spoil or whoever came into the picture, and now people can die. You mean to tell me that people didn't have this and the third, until this Yuma showed up. I'm like we didn't even have seasons until Yuma, autumn and 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's what it is. It's like that's what it's supposed to be on. Okay for this story, it's fine'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:I can definitely understand. I mean, look, even going a little bit further into it you mentioned as far as into the seasons, into it, dude but one it's like, imagine, like inside job, when we did review into that one. It's like, oh, what, everything that people thought was real, well, most of what people thought, like those uh, special thought processes, you're like, oh, it's like, that's not real, that's just a rumor. It's just like I forgot what the 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 the flat theories? Serious theorist? So it's like, hey, the flat earth theory was real until uma galaxy. Hey, hey, the fact that everyone speaks the same language. It's like, oh, that whole Tower of Babel. Yeah, they were building a tower. Then all of a sudden, the Uma Dufu language shows up and then everyone speaks. They failed to collect it. So, oh, punishment, everyone now speaks different languages.
Speaker 1: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 reward but it was at a detriment to the next mission. When they came up against unrepairing and under to where it was like, oh shit, like it just made things more complicated, oh yeah, yeah, because the reward is that everyone can now speak the same language when they collect it.
Speaker 2:I'm talking languages.
Speaker 1:It was a punishment until they finally were able to get that reward later. So now, yeah, now you see what I'm saying, like the implication that wait a minute. So you need to tell me that before this yuma for this reward, it worked differently, like yeah and then, like victor shows up, hey, what's that, what day is it?
Speaker 2: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 you talking about? Oh, so years don't exist yet. Ok, gotcha.
Speaker 1:And I was like wait what?
Speaker 2:What do you mean? What?
Speaker 1:do you mean there's?
Speaker 2: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:so I said that doesn't make sense, and then they explained it later on. You're like what I mean, if there were no years and whatnot? It's like, how old are you people as we are? That's what makes me really crazy, like so I mean, it's one thing with andy. They're saying that, okay, he lived for at least hundreds of years, if not thousands, but I'm like thinking, how old are the rest of?
Speaker 2:y'all. That's the real question right there, because you know, girls like she's oh, I've existed in multiple previous timelines and you're like there's different timelines too. Yeah, you're like, wait, there's different timelines too.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you're like wait, there's different timelines too, Okay, let me talk about juice for a minute, because that's another thing I want to talk about, like, first of all, I like how?
Speaker 1:Design alone. Am I the only one thinking why does 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 her ability. Unjustice where I'm like okay, that was interesting, especially the way it was being used. Where, like, oh, whatever your sense of justice is, I'm just going to negate that it's wrong.
Speaker 2:Your justice is wrong, yeah that's just negator abilities are just beyond broken in itself. Look billy's one. So here's one I do want to be a chance to talk about. Billy's ability is better explained in the manga than it is in the anime. This is the thing. So his ability unfair.
Speaker 2:So remember, we used to think that his ability was, oh, he's blind and but whatever he thinks about his target should be, he shoots his gun and it will just magically ricochet and get there and you're like that's kind of a messed up ability. You're like you doggone, dead shot, but you blind. That's actually pretty wild and crazy. Then you find out, oh no, I'm not blind, that was actually just a thing I put on myself out of crazy. Then you find out, oh no, I'm not blind, that was actually just a thing I put on myself. Wait what? Oh yeah, my ability is actually unfair.
Speaker 2:I can steal other people's abilities, but this is important to understand. Remember the whole other negator group, the ones that were actually out for revenge type thing, that they had their own plan of how they wanted to handle out the next time reset is the fact that, um, billy's ability, he doesn't take their abilities like that. He doesn't do that. And you're like I wonder why he doesn't take it. So is it better explained in the manga? He's only able to take your ability if you see him as a threat. That's why he was in the group.
Speaker 2:He didn't get that ability taken because they saw him as an ally, but as soon as they realized that he was a traitor and as a threat, he instantly started taking their abilities like it was nothing, like immediately. And I'm like, oh, that's some Aizen level nonsense, because, remember, aizen's ability is you can't actually fall for his bunk.
Speaker 1:No, it doesn't help that you get the glasses and everything looking like fucking Aizen.
Speaker 2:Exactly exactly. But see, the thing about Aizen's ability is that you have to see him awaken his Shikai to fall 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 gotta worry about nothing. But he doesn't tell nobody that, of course. So you watch him awaken his Shikai as you're getting prepared for the fight.
Speaker 2:Because Japanese honor remember, that's one of the biggest things about it, why it is an anime, why is it that they always sit here and watch people do their transformations and always do this is not just a Goku thing. It is considered Japanese traditional armor oh, not armor honor all the way back from the samurai era. You don't attack an enemy that's not prepared. You wait until they're prepared, and that way you have an honorable battle. So you're supposed to wait for them to get to their strongest form. Then you and your strongest and it's like my strongest takes your strongest, and that's how we have an honorable battle. If you do anything other than that, then you're just like a shinobi who does underhanded tactics.
Speaker 1:That's actually the reason we always see that that's trying to remind me of the whole situation. Like would that explain the? I mean I'm going to say like Japanese samurai honorable. It's weird that you're saying that, because it just makes me think of Vegeta from the Cell saga, where he just let Cell get to his perfect form because he wants to fight someone that's like at least as strong as Goku. He was looking for that challenge, so it was like outside of the culture where you're like, like.
Speaker 2:Why would you do that though?
Speaker 1:yeah, like I, it's like when you put it like that, now I can understand vegeta a little bit better, but still, though, like why, like you're in danger, the whole world, this whole, uh, proper challenge, like that's not the first, never but that's the samurai honor way You're supposed to do that.
Speaker 2:Believe me, I actually recently found that out. Last week, I was doing a lot of research on a lot of different samurai Stuff something I'm planning on Doing later on but because Of that, I was like wait, that actually makes sense, because Akira Toriyama actually loves samurai and that's the reason why he Yajirobe, was one of his favorite characters in the dragon ball manga and why is it, your envy that part.
Speaker 1:I almost didn't tell you before that I would do it right.
Speaker 2:But yeah, so it's the samurai honor. It's like this whole honor system that's there in in japan. That's the reason why we always have to wait for everyone's final transformation before they finally engage in battle and why it is when you see certain anime 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, that was kind of dirty. Only an anti-hero would do that, only a villain would do that. That's also the reason why people hated Eren. Eren didn't let Dude turn into his titan form. Before he socked him in the jaw.
Speaker 1:He said nope fuck, you think this is Dragon Ball Z get out of here exactly.
Speaker 2:So it's actually. It was real funny when I learned that. I was just like, wow, that actually makes a lot more sense on all this anime anyway. But, yes, that's what goes on for Billy is the fact that you have actually makes a lot more sense on all this anime, anyway, that's what goes on for Billy is the fact that you have to actually you have to perceive him as a threat. So once you thought he was a threat and you're like, oh, I gotta take you down, as soon as that point you was like, oh, fell for my trap again. Now I can take all of your abilities.
Speaker 1:You activated my trap card.
Speaker 2:It's like what was the same um seven deadly sins, right? It was like oh, if you want to kill me, then you can't attack me. His commandment.
Speaker 1:It was like, oh, the commandment of love well, I know you're talking about damn, I forgot his name.
Speaker 2:I can't remember his name because it's not even his real name either. That's the bad part about it.
Speaker 1:I just call him wannabe Meliodas, because he was really trying to be like Meliodas and that was crazy when you understand the truth into that.
Speaker 2:But anyway, asterosa, asterosa's ability is like if you perceive him as a threat and want to kill him, then all of a sudden you can't do anything. All of your you're just like stuck. And that's why eskimo he's like why would I be threatened or be afraid, why would I want to you?
Speaker 1:know he said um why would I uh hate someone who's clearly weaker than me?
Speaker 2:I only pay that part exactly yes, because it's like, yeah, love and hate, that's what it was. So it's the same thing for Billy. He's like oh, yeah, you want to kill Me now, congratulations. I now have your Abilities and it's like what.
Speaker 1:That is crazy.
Speaker 2: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 to save the world. He's not a true villain, he's the villain of the series, but he still wants to save the world. He's like you failed a hundred times. It's the hundredth time that the world has been reset and you're still failing, so maybe I need to do something different.
Speaker 1:In other words, it's like he's trying to take things into his own hands, because the way Julius and the union is trying to do it is just not working. It just keeps repeating over and over. That's another thing. That's crazy to me to where I almost kind of like the idea of what if in reality we all die? End of the world, end of the universe, and it's kind of like that one Futurama episode where it just restarts and everything that happens just restarts like plays out all over again. Maybe it may play out differently or maybe it play out exactly the same. That's probably what explains why we have things like deja vu, to where you have these false memories of things that you don't actually have experience in. So it's almost like you experienced it before but you didn't. But that's probably because you're on another timeline where the same thing happened, but for some reason you remember it. Yeah, um, sick and crazy and undead, unlock really.
Speaker 2:But oh, yeah, I also like how in multiverse I've had this explained um their own version of this as well, too when the other timelines, instead of like an undead unlock, where the other timelines finished and it just kept resetting, in Multiverse of Madness, all the other timelines are still currently happening. So, like your Deja Vu that you mentioned, you have a Deja Vu moment. I could have sworn this actually happened, but it didn't happen. This exact same way and it's like oh, you connected to another timeline and in another timeline it happened the way that you're remembering it happened and that's why you feel that way, because you're just like See.
Speaker 1:That's why, with some easy-to-tie anime, for some reason you have a new life, but you still have your old memories. That part.
Speaker 2:And so you're just like what? And so imagine my surprise once you got to the timeline thing. Understand by that point I was mad a little bit because I'm like don't go to hulu. I thought you finally suggested something to me. That wasn't the easy kind. Now I'm finding out technically it's another easter guy died and reincarnated into another world.
Speaker 2:That's this technically, it's a new timeline. That's technically still an isekai. Oh you lame, you got me good now I do want to mention this. There's also some um that I would say. I highly recommend reading the manga, like I do like the anime. The anime is fun to watch, excellent anime to watch. But read the manga Because there are so many fights that are cut From here.
Speaker 2:So imagine this. Imagine having the anime. We're only following Andy and Fuuka, so remember how they come around the round table and they're like, oh okay, so these other negators Of the union Handled this particular situation. It's the capture of Uma Byrne successful and things like that, right. And they're just like, oh okay, so they handled it behind the scenes. In the manga there was no behind the scenes. We watched them actually do it. They cut so many fights. So many fights are cut from the manga into the anime, cut from the anime, and I'm like, no, some of those fights were actually really good and the character designs. You know, you never see Uma burn except later on when Billy decides to reawaken him. No, we actually get to see burn ahead of time. We get to see him actually causing destruction and then people fighting him. I'm like come on, man, why would you cut that? Why would you cut that? Why would you do this?
Speaker 1:I mean the more, yeah that, and the more I've watched anime, where, once again, going back to Deadman Wonderland, that would be the one anime that broke me as far, as Sometimes reading the manga Is for the best Versus Watching the anime.
Speaker 1:I mean, I still like the anime in a way. It's just that it just pissed me 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 out Before the end of the anime. So that's why, yeah, I can kind of understand To where the anime Can be great and all, but I don't know, it's like mixed feelings, to where you want the anime to be one for one with the manga, be very faithful to the manga, but then again it's like isn't these stories dependent on manga sales? So I would say that with manga, it's like the animation detract too much from the manga. In fact, the animation detract too much from the manga. In fact, the animation serves as a companion to the manga. So that way the anime encourages people to read the manga.
Speaker 2:Ideally, but some people don't like to read, so you know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's what I'm saying, Because some people don't like to read that, but that's kind of the point of why they're doing it to. It encourages people to read the manga, because manga sales will probably be so good that maybe, if it does well enough, you'll get more anime seasons.
Speaker 2:Yeah, this is true. That's why I say I'm really hoping there might be an additional season for the series. Technically it's finished, but technically also not finished, Because there's more that could come on for the series technically is finished but technically and also not finished.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because there's more that could come on first of all I thought it was gonna be 12 episodes like I felt like the way it was sounding like, uh, it sounded like there was like 12 episodes per season and we just happened to have, um, season one and two max together when we were watching on Hulu and whatnot. But honestly, it didn't feel like two separate seasons. It felt like one big 24-episode season and I'm like, okay, cool, cool, cool. But even then the last episode it didn't even feel like a finale. It's like I'm just kind of waiting for the next season at this point.
Speaker 1:Like where's the next season? Yeah, but unfortunately there might not be one. Like I was really hoping, but then, after looking into it, there's a chance it might not be one. Oh, you know, that's crazy because, uh, david production was working on this one and I'm like, wait, there's something new here, don't they work on jojo's? And I'm like, oh well, shit, uh, we probably not gonna get undead a lot of times because they're working on steel fall one. So like we're probably not gonna get any time soon. So go ahead and read definitely, definitely like.
Speaker 2:I highly encourage it, but the anime is still really good it's. It's one of those ones that it helped me go back to read the manga again. I was like, yeah, you're gonna go back and read it and so, um, I really want to talk about, like. Look, I already mentioned Victor is my favorite character, but Victor, when he showed up, it was going down for real All of a sudden. The way he got first introduced and it was like, oh okay, so what's going on is that they wind up coming against this Uma Spoil who's rotting and causing people to become zombies and stuff so then, all of a sudden, you know they can't fight him, like they're trying.
Speaker 2:Shin is doing what he can. They didn't already stepped into the territory so they only have a certain amount of time before they start rotting and dying. And it's like okay, so we got to figure this out, there's got to be a way to extend our time and stuff like that. And then then all of a sudden it gets to the point that Andy's like look, I'm not going to be able to fight, we can't do this. And so Shane is like look, I'm going to need you to awaken the victory guy. Dude, I need you to guide a victory, I need you to bring him out. That's the only way we're going to win this. And Andy's like look, you need to make sure that if I lose control, you gotta kill me. Knowing he's undead was the funniest line. To say that I'm like bro, you're undead. What do you mean? Kill you? He's like you're gonna have to do this. You know what's wild about that.
Speaker 1:Um, the way that's described it just kind of reminds me of Sentry, a little bit from the Thunderbolts, where it's like, yeah, he's like super strong, but then he has this trump card, that where, okay, on a dire situation you're gonna have to use that trump card, and he literally pulls the card out of his fucking skull so he can turn into victor and it's like it's like, yeah, he might help, but he might get out of hand.
Speaker 2:So it might make the situation worse. It might fix it, but it might make it worse, just so you understand. And yeah, I like how you mentioned that, because, yeah, he pulls the card. I had the literal trump card out of his head and I'm like that's the funniest literal reference I've ever seen. But, yeah, pulls it out.
Speaker 1:Victor shows up and at that moment she is like, hey, we might have made this situation bad it was like Buddy from Red Ranger in another world where he's like, yeah, he got this Ranger black form but I'm like, okay, I'm gonna use this form, but uh, I'm gonna need y'all to handle me when everything's said and done I'm like what you mean, you'll see exactly, and it is always the same thing, like that person's like see, I thought I was about it, I thought I could handle this situation, but I learned very quickly.
Speaker 2:This dude is on a whole nother level. Victor started doing everything. Boys started popping out the clones started popping bullets like it was nothing, redirectional bullets like it was nothing, just started going in and it was like, oh my God, this dude is dangerous. This dude is dangerous.
Speaker 1:Wait a second, oh God Now that I think about it like dang. I was thinking like at first he kind of reminded me of Yusuke's day with the long hair, but then I was like thinking, wait, no, no, hold on, he brought me someone else. I'm thinking, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, gajio from fairytale, at least physically, with the long black hair, long black hair.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I can see that, definitely. I also like how his transformation happened in space.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And all of a sudden, just the hair changes, his hair grows, all of a sudden, his hair changes color and then his face heals up differently and then it comes back down and it's like, huh, it's been a while, since I finally got let out of my prison, the Super Saiyan 3 hairstyle L'Oreal, because I'm worth it that part, that part, you just say L'Oreal, they ain't sponsoring us, don't give them their name.
Speaker 2:But for real, though, like it was dangerous, like dude showed up and he was dangerous, he was like okay. And then Victor shows up again later on, and then we get Andy versus Victor. Well, no, first off, foucault versus victor. I want to mention that one, fuko versus victor. That dude, oh, she went back in time. She goes into his brain she was reading the book, teleports into him, into andy, to get understanding his past, to get a better understanding of who he is and stuff. She goes too far back and meets victor and victor immediately he's like uh-uh, no, you're not allowed to be here, you're not allowed to know about my past. No, look here.
Speaker 1:I'm going to kick you out of this memory. I'm going to keep finding you in all these memories until you get to the last memory, and then I'm going to kill you there. That'll kill you in real life and 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: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's gonna be okay. Kills her, wait what Shows up. Ah, there you are, got you next to game.
Speaker 1:I'm like I don't know why you could wait, didn to die, didn't you? Didn't you wanted to die in the first episode?
Speaker 2:that part, that part exactly, and it was terrible because it was that point of just like dang, so like, not only was you not getting the information that you thought she was gonna get, it just kept getting worse because he was like, nah, he about to die for real, let's do this.
Speaker 1:But no, I kind of do feel bad for andy because he's got that wolverine backstory where it seemed like he lived so many years and he said all these, uh, friends and close ones dying on for whatever reason, I'm like god damn man, he went through it that's that's.
Speaker 2:It's crazy and understand that. Yeah, because woline, I do be feeling bad cause he does mention that in, like in the X-Men animated series. He's also mentioned that in a lot 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 the day, like you're not gonna be here as long as I'm gonna be here, and that's like the worst part of Immortality. What is it Frearing?
Speaker 1:I finally watched Frearing.
Speaker 2:I finally watched it, oh my god. That series is so good.
Speaker 1:Hey, season two Right around the corner.
Speaker 2:I know. Believe me, when that season drops, I will be on the next episode Review it, because I am so sorry that I missed the first one. I kept getting so caught up with other things, but I finally got a chance to watch it.
Speaker 1:I couldn't put that series down Green Ridge and Burn are like some stone cold bitches.
Speaker 2: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 many doggone movies with Dracula in it. But there's like a couple iterations of Dracula where it's the same thing, where it's like I don't like being immortal because it's like I keep getting attached to people and then you die and it's like it feels unfair like it feels like no, no, no, listen.
Speaker 1:T tuck and I, when we did the center for you, I wanted to be a werewolf, because you know I just got offended. Where will you want? Uh, he preferred to be a vampire and he was trying to sell me on being a vampire. I'm like nah, because my main thing is I'm to be living for so many years and yet, in this reality, so much bullshit be happening to a point where I'm like I'm getting real tired of this shit. Somebody put me out of my misery like fucking Immortal from Invincible Season 3. Please, invincible, please. I can't take this shit no more. These people make no goddamn sense. Please.
Speaker 2:I need, need this. I don't, yeah, like I don't, I just can't. That's a hard thing. That's a real hard thing to be like, to not be able to die and just watch everyone you love and care about. And you try to spend so much time pushing people away. But humanity just has this thing about connecting with each other. Like you just can't not connect. It's impossible. You find you're always going to find some reason, some way to connect with someone and it's just now. You have to just deal with it again, like now that person's gonna die. Then the worst part about it is too. I feel real bad for andy because it's not even one of those those types of immortalities of oh, I just live a long life but I could be killed, and type of thing he literally can't be killed, like he's the literal immortal, but you negate death, just itself, it doesn't matter. So it's like. It's like, uh, hundreds of timeline resets.
Speaker 1:So it's like, it's like uh, hundreds of timeline resets.
Speaker 1:Bro, you know, to this day I think it's still crazy how I mentally gloss over Benton Omniverse, and that was the one series that explained that whenever you're wearing that Omnitrix you could like die. But then the Omnitrix would be like, nah, hold on, let me just, uh, rebuild your DNA and you'll be all right. And I'm like, god damn, like doesn't matter how you get killed, like the amateurs just gonna bring you back, unless the watch gets ripped off your hand first, and then you die. I'm like okay, fine, but then as long as you're wearing that you're fine.
Speaker 2:It's, I just can't. It's one of those ones like what, was it Not Schrodinger's Boat? I think it was no not Schrodinger's Boat, schrodinger's Cat I'm thinking about the boat.
Speaker 1:I know the boat that you're talking about because I heard from Vision and his other version of him from Warner Vision was talking about. I'm like damn. I know what you're talking about, but I forgot the name of that I forgot there's that name of.
Speaker 2:but yeah, it's like if you keep replacing the pieces after a while is it still the same one, because eventually you replaced all the pieces and stuff and you're like dang, I don't know, um, I don't know, like there's another, and there's another anime I watched called Agen.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, Is that a 3D?
Speaker 2:show with the shadow monsters Okay.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and so that was even crazier. It was like, oh, agen can't die. But it's like, actually I found a way to kill an Agen. It's like what do you mean? Oh, you cut the head off. You see, when the head it'll completely reattach like it'll redo because it's in technical or immortal, but your spirit of who you are dies and then what comes back is going to be a different clone of you. You're not going to have any of those memories, you're not going to have any of those things anymore. If I cut your head off, you would literally die, your body stay alive and that could turn into my personal slave. And you're like, wait, what that's why?
Speaker 1:yeah, that's a wall. That's long time to drop.
Speaker 2: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:I'm like 97 years old being that no, like just imagine being like two, three hundred plus years old and he's like bro, like I. Fucking my body is so old. I fucking hate it like it's like it's agony to even move around and sit like please, just fuck me up, please, please.
Speaker 2:Could be a walking skeleton, still creating shadow monsters like why?
Speaker 1:Looking like some sort of Einstein or Google motherfucker. I mean Just roaming the earth as a skeleton with a cloak on and he's like just walking around with a cane and just seeing all the remains of the earth. And he's like I remember people going gin is also literal too.
Speaker 2: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 does your brain decay too. Is that another way for engine gen to die that?
Speaker 1:you. Just I would really hate it for people who don't have inner monologues, because you know, uh, that's not a common thing where, uh, some therapists will say that oh yeah, not everybody have that inner monologue in their head. So like, damn. So, if you can't speak and you don't have an inner monologue, I think you can. Well, you could probably write, but then again, can you even write that?
Speaker 2:yeah, you got no muscles man.
Speaker 1:So I'm like how do you communicate?
Speaker 2:that's crazy yeah, it's just only because that series is so literal about things and I'm just like I don't know not to realize you're so literal, that kind of it kind of gets worse.
Speaker 1:See, that's what I'm saying it shows like the implication of immortality, like I don't think, like see that's the thing, like see immortality. Back when I was a kid that sounded good because you know nobody really wants to die. But as you get older he's like nobody really wants to die, but as you get older you just like immortality, like in the literal sense it's just not worth it. But the best form of immortality that you can achieve is the kind of immortality where people remember your name way beyond your death, like the whole point is yeah like that, like a favorite, yeah, like that, or you know, leave behind a legacy where people will talk about you and your legacy for many years to come.
Speaker 1:Like yo think about it, like guys 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 ever talking about this legacy.
Speaker 1:I'm like, bro, it's still kind of crazy to me how those fucking Jaegers I'm still heated about that dirty court session where I'm like you, fucking Jaegers, make no fucks you mean to tell me you're backing this motherfucker that's willing to kill everybody that's not in his court 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, but oh, we were wrecking. Doesn't matter, you ain't from my corner.
Speaker 2:Oh my God, and you want to bring back Nurticord too next year.
Speaker 1:Y'all want to champion this guy, the guy that's killing all of us.
Speaker 2:You want to bring back Nerdy Court again next year, so it's going to be crazy. It's going to be crazy, by the way, oh gosh.
Speaker 1:Aaron Yeager. I like him as a character. I'm not going to say that I don't like him as a character, but I don't know if I'm backing someone 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 at the Marleyans.
Speaker 2:I mean, look at America right now. Look at America right now.
Speaker 1:I mean, yeah, america, yeah, like. That's like saying, if America was more like, okay, I can kind of understand, but you're going a little too far to say, oh well, I need to kill them before they get a chance to kill me. They didn't do anything to you too much, too much.
Speaker 2:If I take away our freedom of speech, they really voting to take away our freedom of speech, bruh, is they really doing this for real?
Speaker 1:No, I mean, it's just not crazy.
Speaker 2:You're not taking away our podcast. This is my freedom. But, um, yeah, andy versus Victor to me still was the best fight, because Andy was growing. It was like Victor, you could tell. It was one of those moments he was like when he acknowledged the fact that he's like you may actually be the one to actually fix everything, you may actually find what you're looking for. And he's like you know what? I'm willing to try, I'm going to fight you and instead of killing you, instead of like, just completely like doing a full takeover, I'm gonna fight you, I'm gonna teach you.
Speaker 2:During the fight, and victor just kept acknowledging andy as he kept growing. He was like you oh, you learned about that when he's like, it took you about time before you finally figured that one out, and he's like okay, so you figured out these little things. It's like okay, you finally got faster because you understood that you have are immortal. Like you're always holding yourself 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 your attacks are so weak it's because you're scared about it. Stop being scared and just keep moving forward.
Speaker 2:It was one of those ones that you could tell Victor at that point was like, at a point about halfway through the fight he wasn't trying to win anymore. He was just like no, I'm trying to give you the skills that you need so that way you can finally win and finally take care of this stuff, cuz any end today they still gotta go up against, like the Creator itself, is it herself there themselves, whatever Peg yeah. So Like, yeah, see, that's what I like about it too.
Speaker 1: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 to be a woman. But then again I'm like thinking, why not just call her goddess? I don't know, whatever.
Speaker 2:You wanna know something crazy about that I've seen In a lot of TV shows and anime and stuff. Almost every single time if it winds up being a goddess creator. It's as if the goddess creator creates for torture. I don't know why they choose to write that, but almost every time that I've seen it there might be something out there that's not, and if there is, please let us know. Absolutely. Talk to us in our face, bro. Come on, let us know.
Speaker 1:I kind of almost don't like the implication of oh well, if every time I got it in control it's always about torture. It's almost like hmm, and then it's almost as if. It's almost as if things will be better if a man was in charge and I ain man was in charge.
Speaker 2:And I'm saying, as far as Whoever it is that's writing for some reason Decides to put a female Like if it's a female ultimate ruler in charge, it's always the humanity is suffering, type of thing and they 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 you have the goddess. And you find out, the goddess is extremely jealous. She absolutely hates what it was that Meliodas and Elizabeth were getting together and decided to punish, and she decided to create a punishment too. And she was like that's kind of unfair. Ain't you supposed to be the embodiment of all goodness? But you're sitting here like oh no, my war is a demon, can't care who's collateral, type thing, what, what? That's a nonsense Bayonetta.
Speaker 1:Hey, when you're a guy, you either be all powerful or all good that part.
Speaker 2:But then think about Bayonetta hates the Umbridge, which is so much to the point that she, that the, the goddess of creation, doesn't care that the universe itself will be destroyed in their fight. She didn't care. That's how much she hated bayonetta. She was willing to destroy all the planets in the universe, destroy everything in the universe, just to kill bayonetta type of thing and it's like dude, but you're the goddess of creation, like. It's like. I don't know every time I see it if it's like goddess of creation is like it was made to torture people and I don't understand that. So I'm not saying on that one like, oh, it might be better than man in charge, no, I'm not saying that I'm not saying either.
Speaker 2:Look at these writers, see what's going on here, yeah, and I'm like what's going on with these writers here like oh, I mean a lot of anime tropes where I'm like, uh, is this something y'all want to talk about?
Speaker 1:you know every the older brother curse where it's like always a cool older brother dying. Uh, the father is always like missing or he ain't here or whatnot. Like the mother, like okay, the mother. Sometimes, well, the mother is like 50 50 it really depends on the story to where. Like they're either like this super supportive, doting type or they're like the worst piece of shit, like I've seen some examples, trust me, like it's almost like a whole bunch of tropes where you're just thinking is there something y'all want to talk about? Like um, was daddy not there enough for you? Um, did mommy hit you a little too hard or didn't hug you enough? Like, what's going on with y'all? Like why, why y'all keep going down this way? What's up with y'all always trying to have like, uh, I know japanese standards where, like, if you're like 16, you're pretty much much legal, and I'm like um, here in America that goes far into there at least 18.
Speaker 2:And also Not anymore. They're trying to change that to 14. Well, yeah, let's discuss it another time.
Speaker 1:I'm sorry, yeah, yeah yeah, but also, um, what else? What else were there? Oh yeah, yeah yeah, the brother-sister complex Like stop it, stop it. We don't like that shit, cut it out. That ruined Irregular Magic High School. For me, that was a damn near perfect anime. The only thing that ruined it Is that the sister has feelings for the brother.
Speaker 2:I'm like Okay, see, I have that anime on my list and you're trying to tell me to take it off because you know that's one of my tropes that I don't like either. I was removed that off my list. That's real fame, bro. I'll leave it alone.
Speaker 1:I got a bunch of other enemies listen, the brother is like.
Speaker 1:The brother is like he's not really into her like that, but it's almost like he likes to play along almost like in a uh, very stoic with almost like man well, you know, if we were to be a couple, you know he's like kind of nudged towards like implicating, but he's not like really into it. It's just more like he's kind of 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 everybody around is like oh, y'all so close to each other, like it's almost if y'all dating each other and then the girl, the, the sister, she'll get all blushing and flustered and whatnot. Oh, really, like you think we make a cute couple. And then, um, the brother's like oh well, you know we're brother and sister, so that wouldn't work.
Speaker 1:But if we were a couple and I'm like get the fuck out of here with this dynamic.
Speaker 2:Dang See, you know, Japanese writers love doing that whole step-sister, step-bro nonsense thing.
Speaker 1:That's my family. Is that something I want to talk about? What's going?
Speaker 2:on, they got married. Their parents got married and they found they were frustrated because the one they fell in love with was the one their parents married and was like, oh no, it's not going to work. Actually, you're not blood related. It should still work. We're keeping it in the family.
Speaker 1:Oh, there's a state in the family, there's a state in the States where it's infamous for that type of thing, and that's not really the badge of honor that you want.
Speaker 2:Sweet home Alabama. Oh my gosh, yeah that part.
Speaker 1:I love my brother and I'm proud of him. I'm like, okay, in what regard?
Speaker 2:there's nothing wrong with loving, but what do you mean? What do?
Speaker 1:you mean by that?
Speaker 2: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 around for too much longer, but it is also on Disney+.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's been dissolved into Disney+ and so just watch it on Disney+.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So yeah, you can definitely watch it there or sell the seven seas.
Speaker 1:Assuming, assuming that it stays, because you know how, whenever there's a murder or some shit gets oh, there's a bunch of anime that's not going to make it over.
Speaker 2:So that's why I'm going through Hulu's list and trying to see what it is I'm going to watch and stuff. Because, believe it or not, like realistic hero is also one of the ones. For when I last checked I'm going to say it that way when I last checked it's not on Disney plus. That's why I went ahead and watched that one on Hulu. So I was like, yeah, I'm going to watch that. So I got a bunch of anime that's on my list on Hulu that I'm going on Disney Plus checking. I'm like is it there? No, it's not Okay. So, nope, that's not. Nope, I need to watch it. Go ahead and watch this and be on my high priority list.
Speaker 1:It's still a crazy power move that that Disney Plus made sure that they got the rights to Bleach Valley or Blood War, because I'm thinking like, why Disney Plus? I know what they're trying to do now, but it's like that's a crazy ass problem because you got one of the big three as a Disney Plus exclusive and I'm going to lie, my wife been watching it too.
Speaker 2:She mad. She looked at me the other day and was like so when's the next exclusive? Not gonna lie, my wife been watching it too. She mad. She looked at me the other day.
Speaker 1:It was like so when's the next episode come out? I said you might have to wait.
Speaker 2:Yeah yeah, you're gonna wait a couple months, babe. I'm sorry you might be looking about 2026. I mean, it's like a little closer to that.
Speaker 1:I'm sorry. You might be looking about 2026. I mean, it's like what? It's like a little closer to that. I want to say a little closer to, like December Okay, I need to look at it, I need to see exactly when. But they're saying that it's going to drop sometime around December or November or something. I want to look into it, but I know for a fact that it's going to be like maybe well, don't vote me on that the way they're splitting it up, it's probably not going to be that many episodes because, like part four now.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the last I checked, part four of the Calamity is set to be released in 2026.
Speaker 1:There's no month, it just says 2026.
Speaker 2:There's no month, it just says 2026.
Speaker 1: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 end of the year. There you go, I mean yeah it's like that free run coming back. A whole, a whole bunch of stuff's coming back in um january. A whole bunch of things happening in january.
Speaker 2:Fire force um part two is coming in january, about time, yeah because it's been so long for that one, like jesus, been so long the manga and already finished. They already confirmed disconnected the soul, re Reaper and everything.
Speaker 1:Bro, they really don't want certain anime done. I mean, look at my Hero Academia, to where it's like a slow burn. The manga ended a year ago and they'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 be doing after this?
Speaker 2:It's not vigilantes, but there's another. They're continuing with additional story chapters. It's coming out in light novels, if I'm correct. It's additional after stories.
Speaker 1:Speaking of which, have you been checking out the sequel to Jesus Christ, that new chapter?
Speaker 2:No, I'm gonna be honest with you.
Speaker 1:um, jesus kai isn't kind of getting on my nerves right now, like me, okay nothing crazy happening, except there's alien sorcerers now and it was like, uh, 60 years after you, and it was like 60 years after.
Speaker 2:I want to point this out real quick. I just want to repeat what you just said nothing crazy happened, and then you just said there are alien sorcerers. Now I just want to make sure you understand the words that came out of Joe Mouse's mouth. Nothing crazy happened. Proceeds to claim the most craziest, nonsensical. What's this? A JoJo?
Speaker 1:No no, no Funny thing is some guy on Twitter kind of I mean, I don't know if it's like real or not, but like I saw on Facebook that someone on Twitter pretty much guessed that there's going to be alien sorcerers somewhere in the future. I probably should think I don't know if I'm going to find that same post again but somebody guessed 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 Jujutsu Kaisen. Especially the way it ended. It's like okay, sounds like they're definitely going to do a sequel. And somebody suggested Alien Sorcerer and I'm like, oh well, shit, I guess somebody got that. You know a broken coffee, sp sprite twice a day, type of thing.
Speaker 2:So you're saying why alien sorcerers and not just alien as the um, as a curse, the fear of aliens?
Speaker 1:No, no, no, no, no. You know what it is. You know what it is. It's a repeat of Boruto, where it's like now we got fucking aliens in Boruto and all the different technologies. It's like kind of thing at this point where it's like, okay, you have this long running, like this epic or kind of epic story, it finally ends and it's like okay, there's going to be a sequel and I'm like where do you go from here?
Speaker 2:I'm like it means so we already got time travel in Attack on Titan. So Attack on Titan decides to come back. It's either going to be aliens or it's going to be some type of dimension hopping and stuff like that. Well, this is a different reality, where Aaron won and Aaron decided to hop onto this reality.
Speaker 1:No, no, no, hold on you know what's really crazy as I'm preparing for the Power Rangers stream review like we still got to do a whole lot of seasons, by the way, but Power Rangers in Space, where Andros is 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 God damn it, god damn it. So alien sources, alien titans, all the other shit, that's feasibly possible. Because, like, okay, in this broad galaxy universe that we're in, it's like okay, there might be humans on other planets, so they could just show up and be like, hey, what up, fellow humans? I'm like you're 10? I'm like, yeah, you might be human, but you're not an Earthling. Though.
Speaker 1:I don't appreciate you rolling up to me like you're Steve Buscemi or some type shit. By the way, I'm going to be real. See you Wednesday, season 2. Be prepared for that.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, yeah, we're about to do that one. Actually, I got a little teaser video I'm going to drop on TikTok Because I just got a new jacket and I got a new top hat, because I know what I'm doing for Halloween this year, but it's going to pertain to Wednesday. So yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm going to drop it on that one. You don't look at that one because I'm going to be showcasing some stuff, anyway, but no, I really think what happened for Jujutsu Kaisen is the fact that they saw Dan to Dan or Don to Don, however you want to pronounce it, and was like aliens plus spirits. I think we could do that.
Speaker 1:No, that's the same thing that happened with the Isekai trope, where it's like okay, one Isekai did really good and it got to a point where there's this whole blood game of Isekai anime. Now it's not this new trope where if it's a new sequel, there's gotta be two things One, aliens, two the protagonist from the last series. Gotta be a piece of shit for a father. Like he might be wrong, but he got the. He got stuck at.
Speaker 2:He got stuck at being a father you got to do one of two things you either have to save the world or you have to save the world to save your family. I chose to save the world. Just understand, you're going to be a terrible father, you're going to be a terrible mother. You're like wait what, wait what, why? You gotta pick one. It's a flip. It's a coin flip, man. You can't get both sides of the coin. You gotta flip one. Hands and tails.
Speaker 1:Oh well, my bad for sacrificing my life twice for the whole fucking planet. Next time we just chill out with my wife and kids. Quote Son Goku.
Speaker 2:Look, look, look. I think that's the reason why Vegeta keep losing all the times because he's too good of a dad. When he decides to stop being a good, when he decides to stop being a good dad and stop being a good husband, then he's going to automatically, he's going to get his W, he's going to start winning against these guys.
Speaker 1:I'm finally stronger than Goku and all it took for me to neglect my wife for child.
Speaker 2:The grinded me like that dog. That's just what it is. That's how you know anime tropes. 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 protagonist checklist. Are your parents still alive? Yes, okay, that means one. That means one of them has to be a villain. It's like wait what? Yeah, if they're not dead, one is going to be a villain. That's just how it works.
Speaker 1:Just deal with it anyway unless you have a brother that kills your whole family to prepare development then your parents are dead, dude, that's.
Speaker 2:That's still. The brother is checklist number five.
Speaker 1: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 if the brother kills the parent and then you need to come to build?
Speaker 2:yep, and then hold on. Then checklist number five can be one of the other two things, and so your sibling, because it could be brother or sister. We've seen ones where it's the sister. That's crazy, anyway.
Speaker 1:I was also thinking Juni Taisa, but okay.
Speaker 2:That too. Or even what's the anime where the clothes come to life and the clothes Kill or kill. Yep same thing, sister Boom right there. I would say more than the mother, than his sister well, the sister still was a villain throughout multiple seasons until she finally switched over. Remember, like you said, like that's another checklist too, your your attack has to become it wasn't really a switch.
Speaker 1:It was more like she was a double agent the whole time, for like she wasn't really fucking with her mother the whole time.
Speaker 2:It's more like I'm just gonna roll with it, all right, but itachi was considered a 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 be a one or the other situation, is either a sibling or it's a clone, and you know what I mean. That's just what it is. It's like look at this anime protagonist checklist, and it's just one of those ones, and the clone can be, technically, you from another dimension too. That works too. Go Goku Black, just saying, or like that one anime that.
Speaker 1:I've watched a long time ago Gunslinger Stratos where it's like, okay, they got fight people from themselves from another timeline.
Speaker 2:I'm like, oh shit and also understand brother like sibling. When we say sibling like brother or sister is a loose term. So even if they're an only child, if they had a best friend that was like a brother or like a sister to them, it's just gonna happen. The loose favorite tanya talking about the koge, like just saying it was like a brother to him, literally the checklist goes on and it's like you can animate that.
Speaker 1:You're just like dang, that checklist is pretty we gotta have that one person from the OG series that's old as hell that you gotta serve as the teacher for the new generation, for example Uzi? Oh yeah, because he's teacher for the new generation.
Speaker 2:For example, yuji from New Year Say the anime. They need to know which one Say the anime. Yuji from where? Yuji from Kaizen? Oh yeah, okay. No, because Noen. Oh yeah, okay. No, because I thought you were going to use from a different anime. No, no.
Speaker 1:No, in the manga because, like I was saying before, you all were talking about Alien Sorcerer. The only thing that happened was okay, yuta and Maki finally get together, they have great children, and those children end up having grandchildren and whatnot. Both of them end up dying. Okay, of course, but then the only person left well, aside from Nobra, who's in a nursing home, that's left right now is Yuji. So it's almost like okay when shit pops off the kids, yuta and Maki's grandchildren they're going to have to slide to Yuji to teach them how to fight these fucking alien resources.
Speaker 2:True, okay, yeah, yeah, I see what you mean there. Oh, another one on there. They have to have an aunt or uncle that's extremely overpowered and technically could have been the one to save the world, but for some reason decided not to and pass it on to the next generation, aka the anime protagonist.
Speaker 1:Damn, that is time-consuming because that happened to a fucking. I left my A-Rank class party where it's like the uncle character finally shows up and I'm like, nah, you got it, man, you got it. I mean I could have handled it, but you got it.
Speaker 2:It's always as either the uncle or mentor. And you're just sitting here realizing, technically, you were strong enough to be able to handle this. Why didn't you handle it? It wasn't my destiny, it's not my character development.
Speaker 1:It's not my art, it's not my story, so it's us.
Speaker 2:And you're just like how dare you play? Realistically, jiraiya didn't have to die in arto. Try, didn't have to die. So yeah, even among gaka he made himself. He said the reason he killed jiraiya was just to progress non-soul story development on. Because, realistically, jiraiya was just to progress Naruto's story development on. Because, realistically, jiraiya would have been able to find out at just that moment that who he was fighting was not really Nagato. Jiraiya would have packed up that fight and left Instead of wasting his time and wasting his chakra. If he realized that point, he would have been gone. So he had to make it to where he didn't realize and had to die, specifically Sonar, to have development. And then, when everybody else died and got brought back, jiraiya had the chance of being brought back, but his body magically disappeared.
Speaker 1:And the crazy part is they try to bring back a Jiraiya clone in the fucking sequel and it did horribly.
Speaker 2:It did absolutely horrible, exactly as Mungaka said it was gonna happen. He was like nah see, this is why.
Speaker 1: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 the series, exactly the point we're saying oh no, he's too powerful, he would have been able to get to like in the series, exactly the point where it's the hate. Oh man, like, can you imagine way back during the tuning exam where, okay, orochimaru was trying to summon, uh, the three other hokade, and then, as soon as it got to the point, oh no, don't bring that little girl and I like how he had to bring it up and say, oh no, we can't bring him back, why the plot?
Speaker 2:The plot demands him To be brought back in. No, yeah, I could have stopped the 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 stopped the other. I mean, yeah, technically I could have stopped it, but I just I had to stop the fourth one.
Speaker 1:Seriously, I'm like okay, like yeah, yeah, yeah. Like the guy that she knew would be Okay, I can handle him, oh, his brother, okay, I can handle him, but that fourth motherfucker. No, no, no, no, that's a different that part, that part, that part.
Speaker 2:Like seriously, look we have fun, but no, also I don't want you yapping to me about hey yo, what up.
Speaker 1:So I told you, like how's my son doing? Like uh, yeah, yeah, yeah, like so you living ghetto family and shit. Like you got to make sure. Yeah, like so you living with ghetto families and shit, like you gotta make sure he's all good. You know, like uh, like yeah, like yeah he good, like he got his own place, he getting a little money. I'm like yeah, he's doing good.
Speaker 2:So the village respects him right.
Speaker 1:Uh yeah, yeah, Like look, this boy got his own name on a fucking bridge. That's how bloody dirty this boy is now. But yeah, you know.
Speaker 2:Your answer was like Nah, hold on a second, I ain't ready to face that music yet don't come back questions I'm not prepared to answer.
Speaker 2:Oh god, monkey ram or monkey monkey. Monkey ram ram said don't do that, undo that summoning juicer now, first tomorrow. You could have stopped it. You could have stopped this at any point, but you only stopped it at number four. Look, we dissected all this other anime. I got to go ahead and get going. So watch Undead Unlocked, but highly recommend reading them all. I don't know next time next season comes out, because we're still waiting for it. This anime like season 2 ended 2020, 2024 if I'm correct. Yeah, so it like ended 2024. We're near the end of 2025 already, so it's gonna be. It's gonna be a minute until the next season comes out. So you got some time. Go ahead and watch it. Enjoy it, jb, I don't have anything else to say. So I'm here to get everything over to you, man alright.
Speaker 1:Uh, yeah, that was much of what I wanted to say about Undead Unlocked. I mean, I know we didn't talk about a whole lot, but honestly, just how we feel about the manga, I feel like, for the most part, if you want more details on Undead Unlocked, just watch the show. I will say watch the show first, then read the manga, then maybe I have more appreciation for the manga. When it's like, okay, you read the manga first and you really love it, then you read the, then you watch the anime and you're like, oh, hold on, I'm like me personally. That's why I would say I would rather watch the anime first if I like the story, and then, if I really like the story, I read the manga. But for this story, under the look, I would give it as of right now a 9 out of 10. Like it's damn near perfect.
Speaker 1:But once again, the one thing that kind of pissed me off was the implication of what the world was like before the humans, because I'm like hold on a minute Bringing up more questions than it is giving me answers. So, like you know what, I'm just going to let that slide. See, I'm not going to be too mad about it, but I'm kind of mad about it. So, like you know what, I'm just gonna let that slide, like, see, I'm not gonna be too mad about it, but I'm kinda mad about it. So that's the only thing. Like the implication of the plot to where it's almost like, do we really want? I get that you're trying to prevent the end of the world with Ratneron, but it's like, uh, if you kill the unit, does that mean you go back to where it didn't have those things before? And you know, yeah, yeah, I'm done, I'm done, we're closing this out.
Speaker 1:Have a good morning good afternoon, good evening, good night, whatever the case may be, ultimately, you go ahead and take it easy. Remember that great things are coming. We're gonna stay nerdy. I hope you stay nerdy with us too. We're zoning out of here. Koki got two. We're getting out here. No more questions. I'm not taking any more questions.
