Transcript

Giovani 0:21

Welcome to, I'm your host Giovanni.

Dani 0:27

Hi, and I'm your host Danielle.

Giovani 0:30

Danielle. how you doing? How are you?

Dani 0:33

Hi, hanging in there. How are you?

Giovani 0:37

Um, I'm fine. fine. A lot going on. a lot going on.

Dani 0:42

Oh, yeah.

Giovani 0:43

Yeah.

Dani 0:44

What's going on?

Giovani 0:45

I'm just doing some training for a race.

Dani 0:47

Okay. Oh, another one.

Giovani 0:50

Yes, yes. This is a, a race we do here and it is pretty cool to say it's a, like a costume race. It's a dress up where you dress up and it's a 10 k and it's probably one of my favorite races of the year,

Dani 1:07

so like a Halloween

Giovani 1:09

exactly. exactly. You know, October 28th isn't that far, and that's when the race is, it's right around the corner. So

Dani 1:18

Okay. I mean, that sounds like fun.

Giovani 1:20

it is, it is. I mean, often I don't race for time. I just race to have fun for this race, and that's what I plan on doing. I want to have a great costume. I want decent time, but I just want to have fun and make people laugh.

Dani 1:36

Well, is it, I mean, is it hard running in costumes though? Well, I guess if you're not, if you're not really running for time, then I guess it's not a

Giovani 1:43

Well, yeah, like

Dani 1:45

run, walk it.

Giovani 1:47

sometime I'm wearing wigs and you sweat. You know, I've been in a suit and it's just hot. It's warm.

Dani 1:55

Oh, then, then that. Then that sounds

Giovani 1:57

Right? And depending on your shoes, I always wear the appropriate shoes, but. It's usually not my wasteful time shoes and I'm just goofing off you goofing off and having, having, fun,

Dani 2:12

Well, I mean, I guess, I guess that sounds fun. Like if you get a group of people or some good friends or something, they run,

Giovani 2:19

But I don't have a,

Dani 2:20

all dressed up.

Giovani 2:21

I don't have a big group of friends that run together. I have, I have one of friends, but we don't run together. I don't know why.

Dani 2:30

Well, yeah. But, um, like all the, the serious runners that I know, I mean, they're, they're serious about their stuff

Giovani 2:37

Right. You don't run with anybody. It's all about time and pace. So anything going on with you,

Dani 2:45

Uh, just the, the usual stuff. I, um, I feel like I'm ready for a holiday already with this back to school stuff. I'm like, when's the next one is like Thanksgiving and when's Christmas? And why is it not here already? Like

Giovani 2:59

rushing time.

Dani 3:01

I'm just saying this waking up early business is for the birds. Like, I mean, I mean, I, I know like up early is up early, but no, this is like super early,

Giovani 3:11

Okay. You know, that's interpretive what early is, so don't say the time or you will be judged.

Dani 3:19

probably

Giovani 3:20

So have you made it through one piece yet? The series, the live action

Dani 3:24

uh, yeah. Well, you know, I'm, uh, I'm, I'm big on my binge watching, so I've, I've finished

Giovani 3:31

I did too. I did too. And it's really a big hit. People love it. People are all over the internet saying, how's the best thing ever?

Dani 3:40

yeah. Oh, I, I didn't read the comments about, or the reviews about it or anything, but I, liked it. I thought it, I did. I thought they did a good job

Giovani 3:49

It was a great translation and, uh, I hope Netflix and Amazon and every other, media platform take a note from this and continue with the good trend of doing anime into lab action. Which brings me to my next question. If you had an anime, you want to see. What would it be?

Dani 4:14

Well, well, I mean, I am, let me preface this by saying that I'm not exactly on the anime to live action train'cause there's been so many. Well, I mean, one piece turned out well, but I don't know if it turned out well because they poured so much money into it. I mean, as far as I know, I think they, they stuck closely or close enough from how I understood it to, um, the, the story, the original story. But that's not always the case. And we've had so many examples of it going wrong,

Giovani 4:52

right. but

Dani 4:53

but I also. I, I'll also say that I, I would like to see maybe a, maybe a full metal alchemist

Giovani 5:05

Uh, that that already

Dani 5:07

correctly. cause it, it already happened, but I would like to see it done. Right.

Giovani 5:11

What's right to

Dani 5:12

something like, but maybe something like Erased. Erased.

Track 1 5:17

I think

Dani 5:18

could, could be a good one.

Giovani 5:20

I think that

Dani 5:20

Well, I will.

Giovani 5:21

may have had that a lot of action too. I think they may Have

Dani 5:24

Have they already done a race? I missed that one then, but um, no. I'm gonna say one that's been done probably like over the last 20 years, over and over again. But they're not getting it right and I'm hoping this one they get right. Which is death note.

Giovani 5:42

death note.

Dani 5:43

Yeah.'cause the Netflix is gonna do net death note, but this time. They have the, um, the production team from Stranger Things involved. So I'm hoping that one will turn out the right

Giovani 5:59

So are you hoping it's more horror than anything else? Are you pushing the horror thriller of death? Death note?

Dani 6:08

if I'm pushing the horror thriller, no, I mean, I just,

Giovani 6:12

if, if you had to. envision death note as a live action, would it go the horror route?

Dani 6:17

But in my opinion in, that's not the thing. Like, I mean, I understand that when we're, when they're doing these live actions, you know, some of it's gonna get, I guess based on the director, the production, or whoever's involved, they're gonna have their own interpretation of what they're doing. But I feel like the ones that Are somewhat successful are the ones that kind of stick to the script a little bit. And I, I feel like a lot of them, they don't really stick to what they're supposed to. They cut out too much of the story. They change too much of it. So I'm hoping that like they, I feel like all the, um, the previous death notes have lost the dark part of the story. In the making. So maybe if they can hold on to, to that and keep some of the essence of the original story, then it'll, it'll turn out correctly

Track 1 7:15

this

Dani 7:15

time. Yeah.

Giovani 7:17

There's two I really wanna see and the other one is Death Parade. I don't know if you ever heard of Death Parade, but the premise is there's this bar where there's bars in this, in the afterlife right bar where you have drinks and cocktails or whatever in this, let's say in this high rise building. So all the recently deceased. Arrive in an elevator and you know, there's an elevator person also, and they come to this bar, they have a drink, and then the, the bartender says, we're gonna play a game. And it's a death game, kind of like a squid game, where it's usually a man and a woman. It can't be two guys. They compete and slowly the stakes are raised. This entire game is to kind of bring out their true nature because they have no memory. Now they have memory and we get to see or they really the sc of the earth and do or do they have heart. And with that, they bring the decision on whether they're. You know, reincarnated or they go into therapist and I just thought that with death note, not death note, you got me saying death note with Squid Games. This would be fantastic. This would be exciting With the new games you can do with the character development. I would love that. And you don't have to do C G I, right? It's just story.

Dani 8:46

So that sounds like a good one.

Giovani 8:47

It's great. Another one is, um, I can't think of the name. I wrote it down. What is it? What is it? Oh my God. Hika Hika. And this is, um, this is a high school premise where these high school kids, they joined this classic lit club, but one of them has these powers of deduction where he can solve crimes or mysteries more like mysteries. So they just go about everyday life solving mysteries. and It's really good. Really good. I suggest those.

Dani 9:18

Okay. I'll have to look into those

Giovani 9:20

do. Those are good.

Dani 9:21

sound

Giovani 9:21

They're really good. Hopefully someone hears me, some producer hear me, and they try to make those, make our choices happen.

Dani 9:31

Hopefully I'm not really on the, the live action train all the way, but,'cause I, they just mess it up so many times.

Giovani 9:39

Well, that's because, that's just because, they, they, just, just like with Marvel though, with Marvel, the Marvel movies, that was success and they gained a lot of success. But if you remember back in the day, like there was some fails, there were a lot of fails, and you have to fail a few times. As Arol Smith said, you got to lose to know how to win.

Dani 10:02

Oh my goodness. All right. All right. And on that note, let's take it into the episode.

Giovani 10:08

Let's do it.

Dani 10:09

Let's take it into the episode we're doing, uh, episode 16 of season two, and this one was called The Fundamental Barrel Lance.

Giovani 10:21

De fundamental virulence. I had to look up what virulence meant.

Dani 10:26

All right. Well, and dictionary.com says what?

Giovani 10:30

Well, they had two, two definitions for it. One was hostility or like the harmfulness of a disease, like the, the ver virulence of a disease is to what degree. So that's what it means. And I guess we can go from there.

Dani 10:48

Okay, so, um, we start with, uh, post invasion and what we see is, What they're calling formally, the cite

Giovani 11:00

right.

Dani 11:01

we get, we get glimpses into different, um, barracks, flashes into different barracks of, stern Raiders and soul reapers, um, fighting.

Giovani 11:12

Yeah, you notice that Momo's fighting T was fighting

Dani 11:16

right.

Giovani 11:17

it still seems like that the soul Reapers are getting beat up It doesn't seem like they've learned much since the last invasion.

Dani 11:25

Yeah. And we, we kind of zoom in on, uh, one particular, fight that's taking place. Bby, uh, fighting. Uh, Toshiro. Toshiro.

Giovani 11:36

S guy.

Dani 11:37

Yeah. We get, we also get, uh, Sandhu joining in on that fight and ku,

Giovani 11:45

I appreciate this fight and what's happening, but that was kind of Saturday, Saturday morning cartoonish or James Bond villain type action

Dani 11:54

how so?

Giovani 11:56

he was beat right. Hit Suga was beaten by Asby with the burner finger two, and right where he was going to do the final blow. Du comes in and like, let me finish him off. We know that that's what you ha wants, he wants to humiliate the soul Reapers by

Dani 12:18

Right. He wants them to be killed them with their own Bon Kais.

Giovani 12:22

But. Your enemy is right there. KU is down on the ground. She's holding on to dear life. This would be the perfect time to just end them if you were a true villain. Just do it now, but no, no, no, no. They wait and say, you know what? You can kill them.

Dani 12:41

Well, I think it's just that they feel like they have the upper hand. So, you know, it's like with a cat, when cats pounce their prey and they have them in hand and instead of just like finishing them off, they're, they're like, and they're patting them and they're playing with them.

Giovani 12:59

But it is,

Dani 12:59

I don't

Giovani 13:00

if you remember, James,

Dani 13:01

Cat sound very evil, so

Giovani 13:03

if you remember James' Bond. That's what James Bond villains would do. They'll have James Bond tied up and then they'll have a bomb strapped somewhere and say, here, here's an hour. Gives me a chance to leave. And they give, James Bond an hour to figure out how to get out

Dani 13:20

Right.

Giovani 13:20

And it's like he's right there. Not like I'm pulling for the stern withers. It's like, you know,

Dani 13:27

Yeah. And while, while they're, um, toying with, uh, Toshi and ko, we get a, a little reminder, from the previous episode of URI listening to, um, kike. Alerting him that he's, he knows how to reclaim the bons, get the bons back. So we do our intro and um, we get an explanation of, and how kike, um, has discovered how to get the bons back.

Giovani 14:00

Right, I don't remember much about that, but I do remember. Him saying that he noticed during the fight with Kope, where he was doing his, his racy pull, I forgot what he called it, and he absorbed TBE chimera, that he was disfigured to the point where it felt like it was poisoning his body. And that's where he came to the conclusion that. Hollows are natural, like they're natural enemies or natural poison to Quincy. So why don't we do some funky magic and make Soul Reapers horrify, which we've heard before.

Dani 14:45

Yeah. Uh, we have heard that before. And kike, he produces, uh, these pill like items. That he refers to as KU kind pills. And, um, he said that these are the, the items, these are the things that's gonna keep the Bon Kais from being stolen. Like you said, like, uh, when, when they had the ke kill get op battle and he consumed the hollow and saw his reaction from that. So he got the idea from that.

Giovani 15:17

Right and.

Dani 15:18

So he kind of figured if the Iran car, Iran car's, resurrection couldn't be stolen from them, maybe they could figure out a way for the sole Reapers Bon Kais to not be stolen or to be taken back.

Giovani 15:34

So, yeah, the, the explanation, it made like a little sense to me, like I was looking for a stronger Reason why, but I mean, I understand it. Keith K. Keith case's doing the same thing that he did with, uh, soul Reapers. But he, he's horrifying them. Essentially. He's horrifying them. Do.

Dani 16:00

I mean, I, I think it made a little bit of sense. I mean, that's what he's doing.'cause he said, he's saying the, that the Hollow's existence is toxic to Quincy. Right. So horrifying. Their Bon Kais even a little bit would have the Bon Kais become poisonous to the Quincy also.

Giovani 16:23

Okay. I'm so, so. Poisonous to Quincy, but how does the Soul Reapers take back their bonai? I mean, if it's just poisonous, does it automatically leave them?

Dani 16:35

Well, that's right. And that's, I guess that's, that's the thing. But it, I guess if it was theirs to begin with, I don't know. I don't know how that

Giovani 16:43

that's, that's, I mean, that's my point. You know, it is kinda, I kind of. Leave it alone. I was like, okay, Kiki says it. So it. kind of makes sense. Kind of doesn't, but

Dani 16:54

The hollow encroachment decays their souls, the Quincy souls, and then it kills them. So

Giovani 17:01

like,

Dani 17:02

I don't know if them purging the bonai trying to get rid of it, and it needs to go somewhere.

Giovani 17:09

yeah. But. I don't know, like I can pick that argument apart all day, all day long. What? What's even more funkier is how, how they took these black pills and dispersed them so fast. That was kind of amazing.

Dani 17:26

That that was, yeah, That one was a little, Hmm.

Giovani 17:31

That was, so he's the guy is, you know, on, on the ground, on his deathbed and he looks and there's this black pill and he reaches it and absorbs it. And we didn't see any of these Beatles fly by and drop it. just, this was the quickest thing ever for them to disperse these pills. To make the pills and then disperse the pills.

Dani 17:54

Yeah, that was a bit of a, um, story hole.

Giovani 17:59

So

Dani 17:59

Yeah,

Giovani 18:00

I did have a problem with that. It was fun. Because you want the soss to eventually get their bons back.

Dani 18:06

yeah. Okay. So, we see everyone that is touching the pill

Giovani 18:11

Yeah.

Dani 18:13

so we get a glimpse of, um, a few. Instances like Soan, who's, uh, battling BG nine. Yes. And she gets her Bonai back. And so does Toshi.

Giovani 18:32

til she roll. Yeah.

Dani 18:33

is, yeah. Who, who is battling, um, Sandhu. So we see, The Bon Kais come back and they're, especially in the case of Toshi, who, his looks different, a little bit horrified.

Giovani 18:45

He has a horrified mask, which I thought that was great. I thought we had a glimpse of Toro possibly being advisor. I didn't know if that was something I. That The creator

Dani 18:59

they're playing

Giovani 18:59

Yeah, TT Kubo. I didn't, if he wanted to make him advisor and he just like, no cane, we can't do that.

Dani 19:07

Well, do you think that this, this is gonna be like consequences down the line for, key skate experimenting in this

Giovani 19:15

Ooh, I did not think about that. But I mean, listen, if it was, uh, y'all a Modo. Yes. Now Sun Street. Sun Street is gonna probably let it go

Dani 19:26

Okay.

Giovani 19:27

and it's only temporarily. It's like a temporary ification. Nothing to see here.

Dani 19:33

Okay. All right. And we also see, uh, Shinji, who is in a bottle with a group of Quincy, and we get a, uh, look at, at him, um, unleashing his bonai, on the Quincy. And, his bonai has, uh, have them,

Giovani 19:53

soji, and I was excited to see this because. We've never seen this bonai before. We've never heard of his bonai before. We don't know what it does So when Shinji sends Bonai and explains this Bonai, he, the Bonai, puts him into like this golden safe zone. I guess it kind of protects him from. The madness that's about to, to happen. then magically, you know, the Soul Reaper Magic, it confuses enemies, allies, and enemies, and they all attack each other. And, uh, basically they're their own enemies and they kill each other, which was exciting. But as you can agree, it was really quick.

Dani 20:44

Yeah.

Giovani 20:45

Were you disappointed at all?

Dani 20:47

In his Bon

Giovani 20:49

well, not just his bonai, how fast it was. Like I was expecting a lot more like to see him fight and then maybe do a bonai bells and whistles and then more of the fighting within the, the stern riles. But it wasn't that.

Dani 21:08

Yeah, uh, I guess it wasn't as important. Uh, you know, maybe it wasn't as big of a reveal to Titi UBA as it was to everybody else. I mean, just in the way that it was

Giovani 21:20

Well, it was not in the manga. It wasn't in the manga at all. That was something they gave to us.

Dani 21:25

Yeah. Well then I guess if it's not in the manka, you should just appreciate the fact that he did it in the first place and stop complaining.

Giovani 21:31

one way to look at it. The other way to look at it, uh, is if you have a set amount of episodes, give it more than 15 seconds.

Dani 21:43

Well, I mean,

Giovani 21:44

two minutes.

Dani 21:45

but is is Shinji that type of, um, is he's, is he a fighter in that regard?

Giovani 21:51

Yes, Stop painting those. We needed more. We needed more.

Dani 21:56

I mean, I thought the Bonai, I thought, because we've seen some Bon Kais be revealed, where it was kind of like, oh, that is that it. But I mean, I thought this one was, I thought his bonai was good. I guess maybe it just didn't, the reveal could have been a little bit more over the top

Giovani 22:12

Well, he,

Dani 22:13

had had more of a lead

Giovani 22:15

well, he, said, I can't use my bonai because I can't use it around people because it drives It causes madness. So this the perfect time to do it because I have the space

Dani 22:28

well, not only that, he didn't really have anybody else other than the Quincy's around. Right.

Giovani 22:32

Well, that's what I mean.

Dani 22:34

cause he, right.'cause he didn't, you don't want your, your allies to attack, turn around and attack you. So, yeah. I mean, I get it. I, I didn't have a, a main problem with it in the way that they did it, but I mean, I guess I can agree. Maybe it was a little bit

Giovani 22:51

Yeah, it was fast, but let me go back to Ru, not Rukia. Oh man, I was gonna call it Soan. I'm going back to Soan. When she got her Bonai back and it is the missile bonai, I forgot the name of it. Um, Ry Cobin. I think she blast Bg No. Into Nothingness. And I was so glad to see that because I expected so much more from soy fond. I think she delivered.

Dani 23:25

Yeah,

Giovani 23:26

As we talk about bons,

Dani 23:28

I think so. We don't really hear much more of him after after she blast him. But, um, I guess we'll see. We'll see down the line what happens to him,

Giovani 23:39

how about some do how, how do you feel about his defeat by his Gaia?

Dani 23:45

oh, well he got encased in, uh, an ice crescent or like a crescent flower of ice or something along those lines. So,

Giovani 23:57

But I, I guess

Dani 23:58

I mean,

Giovani 23:59

that's kinda where I was going with JI too. It's like he didn't really defeat anybody. He probably didn't even need to use ba, use his bonai.

Dani 24:09

well, that's true. Like I, those Quincy's did look lower level,

Giovani 24:14

Right,

Dani 24:15

so he, he probably didn't have to put out much effort. But I mean, I guess the, the point of it was To have a

Giovani 24:22

right. It was, it was a reveal. I like the reveal. I, I can't be upset about it. I just coming up after what we saw with, with Toshiro and uh, Soy fun. I want to see more with Ji. So

Dani 24:38

Anyway, we see, um, we also see mask the masculine who is Uh, taking on, uh, three Soul Reapers, IKU, uh, Yuka. And

Giovani 24:53

Shhe,

Dani 24:53

is it his? Yeah. Um, so m the masculine and all three of those guys are, um, battling. We also see, uh, as a I am, I know I'm gonna say her name wrong. Baa, is it Ban or Bam?

Giovani 25:09

It is bam, ba, we just, I just call it Bambi.

Dani 25:13

Bambi. All right. So we get Bambi. who is upset'cause she can't find JE and is in the process of destroying the STE

Giovani 25:25

Her doggy friends,

Dani 25:26

then Right. Calls him. Um, right.

Giovani 25:30

doggy. What's my doggy

Dani 25:33

Uh, it's very insulting, and then he shows up and Shinji also shows up to help and interrupts,

Giovani 25:41

We got another Shinji battle.

Dani 25:44

right.

Giovani 25:44

So he used his bonai and kept all these stern ritters, and now he gets to fight Bambi, which you would think it would be an even fight, right? His she chi, we know from fake KU town, it confuses the left and the right up and down. It totally distorts a person's, direction.

Dani 26:11

When Shinji interrupts, you know, he told JE to go on and,'cause I, I guess je feels like he has bigger fish to fry, so he leaves. And so, uh, Shinji and ba Bambi. Get into it. And like you said, he uh, uses his bonai on her and she's, uh, kind of upside down, very confused, doesn't know what's going on. And yes, he is toying with her instead of just finishing the job

Giovani 26:44

Right, because at this

Dani 26:45

you were referencing before.

Giovani 26:47

at this point, she's confused. So this is again, the perfect time to take out one of your enemies because she can't defend herself. But as she's, he's toying with her, and as long as you toy with someone, they're going to adapt. It's just, I mean,

Dani 27:05

Well, yeah, it's gonna give them time to figure out exactly what you're doing and how to get out of it. So I, I guess that was the running theme,

Giovani 27:15

Yeah, and he did the

Dani 27:17

And did you.

Giovani 27:17

with, with, um, Eisen. You know, Jiji used his chica on Eisen, and then told him what his chika did. And Eisen quick. Eisen figured it out really fast encountered it just like that.

Dani 27:35

So this is too much talking and playing for you. You just want like quick slaughter. Is that what you're looking for?

Giovani 27:41

Well, in the case of the Soul Reapers where you're losing and they lost a lot of people,

Dani 27:46

Just take them out and move

Giovani 27:48

mercy,

Dani 27:50

No mercy.

Giovani 27:50

I mean, what, what, what would, can Paches, Rocky do?

Dani 27:54

Uh, I mean, he's been known to, to, to play with prey a little bit himself. So, you know, I mean, he is no mercy, but he's no mercy after he gets through all of that.

Giovani 28:04

Well, he,

Dani 28:05

but I did like the, um, did you notice the music for,

Track 1 28:10

um,

Dani 28:11

yeah. During, um, Shinji and Bambi's Battle when he was, uh, unleashing the bonai on.

Giovani 28:19

I did not,

Dani 28:21

Okay, well, anybody not paying attention should go back and take a look at it. I thought it was pretty

Giovani 28:26

Me, I'm gonna go back

Dani 28:27

I mean, yeah, the, um, they've been doing really well. I mean, I've talked about the, the graphics and everything before and how everything looks so good in terms of the animation, and I feel like, honestly, I feel like the animation, even in the second season might look a little bit better than the first season. And the first season looked really good. But, uh, the music has been, they've been hitting with the music also and just picking the right music for the right scene. Whoever is, is in charge of that, they've been

Giovani 29:02

director,

Dani 29:03

it, music director has been acing it. So

Giovani 29:08

you know,

Dani 29:08

if you, when you get a chance, go back and listen to that part.

Giovani 29:11

we need to give the music director a shout out next time we, we tape they say music directors, so blah, blah, blah. You did a great job.

Dani 29:21

Well, I mean, we can't afford it, so we can't play play any of it

Giovani 29:25

No, I'm just saying give, give the person a shout out.

Dani 29:29

No, I, I understand,

Giovani 29:30

You wanna play it?

Dani 29:31

play like a little bit of Yeah, but we can't afford that. But the song I did look it up, so the song is called Everything I Lost, and it's by, uh, shero. S so look that up. That was really good.

Giovani 29:46

Cool. So Suge is fighting with the superstar still, and we thought he gives him a death blow, but again, in bleach fashion, it's not a death blow. It's more or less a power because Yuha let's, well, I guess he's talking about asphalt and he's saying, now's the time. To unleash, unleash the power of the the Quincy Boston dish. releases the Quincy Boston dish and you see seven reishi crosses appear and they ignite. And we is, we learn. Before this is the power, the true power of the nces. So that

Dani 30:39

Yeah. Well, he states that, uh, They're now able to use it like they couldn't use it before because the Soper have their Bon Kais back. So since the Bon Kais have been removed from the Quincy, they now have access to this Boston dish power.

Giovani 30:56

isn't that kind of weird? You wanna pick that apart?

Dani 31:00

But it, we can, but it's also, you know, I guess they're also trying to show That we were saying, we've been saying like, okay, Yuha is two steps ahead, but now this makes it feel like he's like five, 10 steps ahead of,'cause he is, he's already anticipated that okay, we are gonna be able to take the power, they're gonna get their power back and when they do, this is our move for when they take it back. Right.

Giovani 31:29

Right.

Dani 31:29

So I mean, it, it is just

Giovani 31:31

all in this plan. So the Bonai stealing was actually getting in the way of their ultimate form. So I guess they stole the bonai just for shock and awe, whether they lost it or kept it, it was didn't even really matter, really, because Yuha has a plan for it.

Dani 31:50

Well, I, I'm not, I wouldn't say it was necessarily shock and awe. I mean, I, that probably feeds into. If he wants to, you know, kind of like a stick it where it hurts kind of thing.

Giovani 32:00

well that's kind of what I mean, like a shock and all

Dani 32:02

we've had, well yeah,'cause we've, it's like, okay, he went and if, if the ques have been get in the way of, of their ultimate power, but he did it anyway, it's kind of like, okay, well, We're gonna show you what this feels like. He didn't need to do it. It's, that's what it seems like it, it wasn't necessary, but we are gonna strip you down to your bare nothing. And play with you a little bit. You are gonna figure it out how to get it back. But then we are gonna just be ready to, to keep going. Level up and keep going. Yeah.

Giovani 32:40

And that ends the episode to an extent, correct.

Dani 32:48

Uh, we just got, um, I mean, I,

Giovani 32:51

The after credits.

Dani 32:52

just a little bit more. Oh, well, yeah, that's not what I

Giovani 32:57

okay. I'm sorry. I want, I

Dani 32:58

there.

Giovani 32:58

I'm in rush to get to the after credits.'cause to me the after credits made the episode. Well go ahead.

Dani 33:04

No, I was just saying that, you know, most of the episode was just, I guess, some slight story progression. We didn't get too much further than what we were last time, other than the reveal that, hey, we didn't need your Brocas anyway, so, but yes, then we get the outro, then we get the, I guess the, the, um, minutes, Of after credits

Giovani 33:30

Woohoo.

Dani 33:31

changed the dynamic of the episode.

Giovani 33:34

Yes. So did you,

Dani 33:37

I'll let you

Giovani 33:38

did you take time to fully check out what was happening with Ichigo

Dani 33:43

Uh, well I try to see it'cause um, how they set this up. E ichigo, we get, we see ichigo again. He's on this, this path

Giovani 33:52

like walking in the Holy world?

Dani 33:55

and Right. He seems like he is under tons of spiritual pressure.

Giovani 34:03

Right. There's a lot of re in there, a lot of spiritual pressure. Maybe not re but spiritual pressure in there and it's, it's causing him to, it's like gravity. It's holding them down and make, it's giving them a rough time, but he's determined to walk and he's gaining. Power with each step. And as he step, he starts to glow. Like you can tell that his body's is getting confused and and um,

Dani 34:31

We have a barrage of images.

Giovani 34:33

I was, Yeah, I was gonna get to the images, but I guess I got what

Dani 34:36

that happened

Giovani 34:37

Okay. Go for it.

Dani 34:38

All I'm saying is okay. We, we get each go. He's on the path in the holy world, wherever that is, and he seems like he's succumbing to tons and tons of spiritual pressure. Then we see that he is struggling. We get a barrage of images flashing really fast, and so we try to, I tried to pause to see exactly what these images were,'cause they were just flashing real fast. You couldn't really make out exactly what it was. I know for one of'em, it looked like there was a man balancing a sword.

Giovani 35:15

Oh, okay. I did not put that in there. I had a man standing in water with arrows around.

Dani 35:21

I mean, it could be the same thing, but it looked like he was balancing a sword. He had like a sword and it was like in his, but it was sideways. It looked like he was balancing a sword.

Giovani 35:29

Okay. And then we got, we also got a figure that was losing body parts. A man losing his body parts.

Dani 35:38

So we had a figure, and then

Giovani 35:40

Then there was a,

Dani 35:41

was whole,

Giovani 35:42

image

Dani 35:42

and then

Giovani 35:43

arm holding like a. A pulley or a chain or like a pen or something like that.

Dani 35:48

okay.

Giovani 35:49

And

Dani 35:50

Anything else? Any other image that you, that you've

Giovani 35:53

I, yeah, I said that the men's body part is descending from the heavens.'cause it looked like they were falling and

Dani 36:00

We got these, um, swirls that look kind of whirlpools, right? It was like four or five different swirls. Um, and they, they looked like whirlpools. And then what else did you get? Anything else?

Giovani 36:13

Where the final scene was, appears that this was the Soul king. A main soul king, because at the end we see this, I don't know what to call it, but a, what would you call it? I. He's in a case or

Dani 36:28

Was he's enclosed in

Giovani 36:30

in like a blue, not a spiel, like a blue diamond. I don't know what to call it. It's, he's encased in the blue something. We're not very technical.

Dani 36:39

And then, then we get, we see, um, Ichigo, and that's where we see he, his head was down and then he looks up and we can see that in his eyes. There's multiple eyes

Track 1 36:53

in

Dani 36:53

his eyes,

Giovani 36:53

Right, So that's why I was thinking is this the, so king giving him these visions, telling him the story. As he knows to do it. Is that how the Soul King communicates through visions and he's just giving the vision to Ichigo? Or is this Ichigo stealing the power of the Soul King?

Dani 37:13

You think he's stealing the power of the

Giovani 37:15

Well, he's in this realm and the realm is making him stronger. And I was thinking maybe he ichigo is So close to the Soul King, he's absorbing some of his power. I don't know, maybe he's becoming like the soul king.

Dani 37:33

I dunno. I mean, is it like You know, do you think it's like high-ish? You know, where you, you get all the history you when you're gonna become the next one?

Giovani 37:43

Well, that's gonna involve chopping off somebody's head. I guess he still has

Dani 37:47

I mean, I know I, well, not that part of being Highland, but you know what I'm, I'm saying like, you get, like, you get a download of all the history of the previous versions of you

Giovani 37:59

Possibly.

Dani 37:59

you know, we, we had, uh, CHIBE last episode talking about becoming a vessel or

Giovani 38:05

Right. Okay.

Dani 38:06

So I'm still on this. I'm still on this. Okay. Is, are they priming Ichigo. To be the next Soul King train that I'm on in some capacity and why, if, if that's the case.

Giovani 38:22

Maybe I, you know, we don't know. I guess it's, this is good postulating, but I. I want to think that maybe that's how the So King is communicating. Maybe that's how, if he's talking with Ichie the Monk, maybe that's how he's doing it through visions and he's talking to Ichigo Ichigo through visions too. But we don't know. We need to see how this thing plays out. It was very exciting to see though.

Dani 38:48

Yeah. All right, so, uh, we got the next episode is gonna be Heart of the Wolf, episode 17. Heart of the

Giovani 38:58

know what, who that is about.

Dani 39:00

Yeah. So hopefully that ends. Well,

Giovani 39:04

That mean he has a lot of heart and he's going to give it his all. Win or lose.

Dani 39:09

That's what I'm hoping for.

Giovani 39:10

you don't sound too

Dani 39:11

see. I mean, you see what's been going on with the big dogs, this series,

Giovani 39:16

Bambi wants a dog. She wants a doggy. So how do you rate this episode?

Dani 39:24

Uh, well, I'll give it a, I'll give it a seven and a half just because we got the, that last one minute outro. Um, tho those outro credits with itchy go. images and everything that kind of hyped up the, energy of the episodes.

Giovani 39:45

Well, I, I give it the same score. I give it a 7.5, and it was just because maybe the sow reapers were starting to win a little bit. Just a little. They were starting to make their comeback. got their Bon Kais back. Keith k and Mauri were working together. Keith K had to do some bargaining. You know, he had to do some flattering of Mauri to even have them work together.

Dani 40:12

Yeah, that was a little hilarious.

Giovani 40:13

Yeah. so Sun do seems to be down begging. Knowing is supposedly down. So, There was some progress, so 7.5. Still not the best episode I've seen yet. I'm still hoping to get this season get better because it's been hit and miss so far.

Dani 40:33

Okay.

Giovani 40:34

Uh, I guess we're gonna do our best and worst and I'll go first. I'll do my best. Well, I was going to say the end credits, but I'm not I'm gonna say it's Ji tt. Kbo didn't have to do this, and though I wanted more, I demanded more. I'm okay because I finally got to see Ji's Bon Kai, and that made me happy. That's my best.

Dani 41:01

Well, that was gonna be my best too. Uh, not necessarily focusing on his bonai, which we were glad to see. But, um, kind of like he was the M V P, this episode. Like he got around to helping a couple, couple people. And so that's where I was going with. Okay. Like that's, that was the best,

Giovani 41:24

Okay. Well, my worst, and I mentioned this before, earlier, the explanation of how they got their bontis back and the delivery of those pills, those, uh, shi-shin Yuku. Am I saying that right?

Dani 41:43

Uh, I

Giovani 41:45

Okay.

Dani 41:45

so.

Giovani 41:46

Well, those pill,

Dani 41:48

I wrote it down somewhere.

Giovani 41:49

everything happened so fast. They even had a scene like they was trying to hack something and none of it made any sense, but all we know is soul Reapers had pills, had little black pills by them, and they were able to touch it and get their bonches back. I need it more.

Dani 42:10

Okay, well, I'll say that, um, my worst, I guess, which is isn't a, isn't really bad, but I wish we got more in the outro clips. I wish we didn't leave that until the very end and we could have had more information as to what exactly was going on with Ichigo and. I mean, yes, it made it exciting, I suppose, on the way out, but I felt like it could have used, we could have worked that into the episode more and slowed down the clips a little bit. So I can

Giovani 42:47

So you wanted an explanation.

Dani 42:50

Yeah. And hopefully it's coming,

Giovani 42:52

It's coming, but you can't wait.

Dani 42:53

just.

Giovani 42:54

You want

Dani 42:55

Yeah. Like, but I, I felt like it could've extended, they could've cut out some of this other stuff that they, that they did. I don't really care about Bambi. We could've cut her out

Track 1 43:06

and

Dani 43:07

Exte extended the um, or even the Shinji scene, like even if we kept Babi and took out the Shinji scene with the group of, um, So, excuse me, the group of Quincy. And then have him just have unleashed his bonai on Bambi and have that be the reveal instead. But, um, we could have used more. So that, that's, that was mine.

Giovani 43:32

Okay. That's

Dani 43:33

All right. Yeah. All right. So, uh, I think that's it for us and, uh, we'll be back next time with, uh, Episode 17 and we said it's, it was called Heart of the Wolf. Do you have anything, any news or anything for the public?
