Transcript

Giovani 0:21

Welcome to last Noches. I'm your host Giovanni.

Dani 0:28

Hi, and I'm your host, Danielle.

Giovani 0:30

Hey,

Dani 0:33

Hello.

Giovani 0:35

what a day. What a day.

Dani 0:39

I know. How's it going? How your week?

Giovani 0:42

there's a lot of stuff going on with me today. It's been an exciting week.

Dani 0:46

Has it,

Giovani 0:47

Yeah. Oh, should I tell, should I talk?

Dani 0:50

uh, story time, what's, what's happening?

Giovani 0:52

I, I'm a little excited. I mean, you know this about me. I am a bit of a geek. I like my video games, my comic books, et cetera, et cetera. So there's this new game on the Xbox that came out. It's called Starfield. This is a very highly anticipated game, and I've just, oh. My life is all about this video game, exploring the universe, traveling to distant galaxies and planets, and finding the, finding these treasures, these gems that maybe the developer put in there on this distant planet. And there's like hundreds of planets and just going through it.

Dani 1:36

So what do you do? I mean,

Giovani 1:38

Oh, that's right.

Dani 1:38

to explore? Is it a game for

Giovani 1:40

Well, there is a storyline to it. Um, you start off as like a minor. A miner, like a, a coal miner. And then you find this object and this, you touch the object and then you get these great visions, kind of like ichigo got his visions right? And you have these visions, and I think it captures the interest of this planetary group or interstellar group called Constellation. you're supposed to go on this journey. That is the main quest, but it's full of sod quest, uh, ship stealing, undercover missions to kill, maim and destroy. It's just so much to this game. This game is, I mean, it's a 10

Dani 2:29

sounds good. All right. Something to check out.

Giovani 2:33

what I've been putting a lot of my time into and I guess, you know, I'm a comic book guy, so I recently got into, well, I got back into X Band, now I'm going through the reign of X, just like just is so long. I probably shouldn't begin into this but there's House Powers of X Dawn of X re, of X eggs of swords. I'm into all those Xing comic books.

Dani 3:01

Oh yeah, you, you sent me a, um, a, a story to read. So

Giovani 3:07

Did you like it?

Dani 3:08

I thought it was pretty good. You know, I'm not, um, big on the X-Men comics, but, uh, in terms of a, a side story in the

Giovani 3:18

Right, Right, So that was about Darwin sink and X 32 or Wolverine. Going into the vault and, uh, I guess as you would say, chaos ensued.

Dani 3:32

Right, right.

Giovani 3:33

really good stuff.

Dani 3:35

Yeah. They spent a lot of years in there, so

Giovani 3:37

And there was a, there was a love story that came outta nowhere that I just thought was totally fascinating and, and gut enriching too. We're not spoilers, We're not spoiling anything. Right.

Dani 3:50

Uh, I don't know. I don't think so. Not so far. So just keep

Giovani 3:53

Well listen, People who,

Dani 3:55

don't have to get mad at

Giovani 3:56

people who listen to this podcast for bleach, I'm not even sure if they watch comic, uh, look at comic books or play video games. Hopefully they do get starfield, get a game pass. See, I'm promoting

Dani 4:10

you know, we're all usually one and the same. So

Giovani 4:12

Right.

Dani 4:14

blurs all the way.

Giovani 4:16

Well, Yeah. and as you know, I do have the PlayStation four. I don't have the five yet. And uh, Nintendo Switch too. So we're covered. And I know you used to be a gamer a long time ago, so

Dani 4:47

Like I, I feel like you're about to date me,

Giovani 4:50

okay.

Dani 4:51

you know, but you know, when I am, when I'm focused, I can get in it.

Giovani 4:55

Okay. That's good. How long have you been into anime or was the first anime you've ever watched?

Dani 5:05

Uh, uh, man, I would have to take all the way back, and this is probably about to date me again too,

Giovani 5:14

doing it yourself? Not me.

Dani 5:16

yeah, maybe still a moon.

Giovani 5:19

Sailor moon

Dani 5:20

Yeah,

Giovani 5:21

I guess the original. Right.

Dani 5:22

a Moon. right? Way, way back when.

Giovani 5:26

And you like the school girl uniforms and the pretty hair and. The dancing, the spinning around.

Dani 5:32

Yeah. Who didn't, I mean, during that time, who didn't like Si Moon? I think everybody likes

Giovani 5:36

I have never watched

Track 1 5:37

that and um, and D B Z.

Giovani 5:40

dragon Ball Z Oh,

Dani 5:42

Yeah,

Giovani 5:43

memories. I'm gonna go back.

Dani 5:45

I think those were the first, first, first ones. Ones for me.

Giovani 5:49

D B Z was good. I, I was, uh, that was my first love. I was totally into Goku, you know, KKA Rock, Fujita, Napa Marja Boo. I was, I was deep into that. But my first enemy would be Fist Fist of the North Star or Ninja Scroll.

Dani 6:14

Okay.

Giovani 6:15

I'm trying to remember. I think Fifth of the North Star was it. They all, once I had A taste of anime, I take that back. It was Kira Akira, is that name?

Dani 6:28

Kira

Giovani 6:29

Akira. Yeah. That was the one that it was, that was maybe scary wasn't the word. It was chilling. It was chilling To watch when you are that young and it was very violent too. So Kira was the one that I. It didn't get me into anime, but that was my first exposure. And then it was the vampire hundred Ds And what, what else? I say Ninja Scroll and,

Dani 6:53

and, then just scrolls.

Giovani 6:54

yeah, ninja Scroll. That was really good too. Do you remember Suncoast? You know

Dani 6:58

I don't one.

Giovani 6:59

Suncoast was this, it was this store where you could just buy tons of anime and manga and whatever,

Dani 7:06

Oh, you said, oh, I'm being, uh, I'm being a, a ditz. Yes, I know. Suncoast

Giovani 7:13

Okay.

Dani 7:14

I thought you were coming up with another anime. I'm like, I know that

Giovani 7:17

with you. Suncoast. It's a store.

Dani 7:22

Yes. I remember. Stop dating us

Giovani 7:24

Well, okay. Well, it was fun. It was fun to go in and pick out your anime and have something to watch. I had so much fun. H a show. We just had a lot of time, a lot of good times.

Dani 7:37

yeah. That's, I mean, you haka show when we first, when I was getting real serious, um, in college and, uh, Ken and

Giovani 7:48

Kinin. Yeah.

Dani 7:49

you.

Giovani 7:50

Uh, don't you feel nostalgic?'cause I think I, I know that redid kinin,

Dani 7:59

Yeah.

Giovani 7:59

and we. Old enough to remember the original, so,

Dani 8:04

Oh yeah.

Giovani 8:05

it's kind of shameful,

Dani 8:06

they did it

Giovani 8:07

you know? we're feeling old again. I'm feeling old.

Dani 8:16

Yeah, just you

Giovani 8:17

Thank you you ready to jump in?

Dani 8:21

All right. Uh, so, um, we're on episode 17, which is called Heart of the wo.

Giovani 8:32

Uh, yeah, I remember us talking about this.

Dani 8:36

Well, we only know one wolf,

Giovani 8:38

And I was hoping this meant re I was hoping this was. Sings giving it all, you know, the heart of a wolf, but, uh, you know, Nope.

Dani 8:54

I dunno. Ine, I think he got,, he got done dirty

Giovani 8:58

Yeah. You have some real fillers about this, so I can't wait for us to get in there so you can tell us how you really

Dani 9:02

Yeah. Well, so we got back into where we left off with, um, everybody unleashing their, um, fos dish. Yeah.

Giovani 9:14

And, uh,

Dani 9:15

And, uh, no, go ahead.

Giovani 9:17

well, this is Candace Kaip, Giselle Jewel Mania, and, uh, I forgot the other one. I think the blonde hair, girl's name

Dani 9:27

You talking about Gigi?

Giovani 9:28

Oh no.

Dani 9:30

Okay.

Giovani 9:31

know, skip,'cause I can't remember her name. She's pretty powerful though. They're, they have their wings and their power ups and in great diva form there's like, these things are ugly and they're in the way and they immediately get rid of their wings because they're not cute. I think they still have the power. The power of the Boston dish. It's just without the wings.

Dani 10:00

That's what it, that's how it came across. Yeah.

Giovani 10:03

And there's animosity between these four women and Bambi because first they're abandon Bambi. And they make the, the comment like, this battle won't last long and this is foresight. And I didn't understand did they know that Ji was gonna beat her or how that fight was going to go?

Dani 10:26

That that part wasn't clear.

Giovani 10:28

They just said that this would be over quick, so

Dani 10:32

Yeah, so I mean, I, I would hope that they're rooting for Bambi, so.

Giovani 10:37

it's hard to say.

Dani 10:37

Yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm just gonna go I'm gonna go with that. They, they thought Bambi could handle it, especially since she had the, um, the

Giovani 10:46

the boxing niche. Okay.

Dani 10:47

to back, to back her up.

Giovani 10:49

It was just confusion.

Dani 10:50

um, yeah, but we, we wrote through the intro and uh, we see that Bambi is still, um, Ji

Giovani 10:59

Right, right.

Dani 11:01

and um, it looks like she's getting the best of him.

Giovani 11:04

well, he's talking a lot. He has this, his chika released. There's the mass confusion and like I said in the last episode, he doesn't immediately try to kill her. He's talking to her and she just does the smartest thing around. She just blows up everything. right. If you don't know your left from your right, you just blow up your left and your right. And. Down gold.

Dani 11:31

Uh, she got the best of Ji, um, once she had that bashing beach to, to really power her up. So he, I don't think he was ready for that, but we did get, uh, Saje Saje, um, shows up and intervenes.

Giovani 11:49

Did you notice he was back in his, he.

Dani 11:51

Yeah.

Giovani 11:51

That's a throwback to original bleach.

Dani 11:54

Right. Which, I mean, it's always cool to see when they, when they take things back a little bit. But, um, he shows up, he intervenes and, uh, is battling Bambi and she unleashes, I guess, her version of. Some kind of REI bomb,

Giovani 12:14

Mm-hmm.

Dani 12:15

not necessarily a bomb, but REI, that she fires at you that turns to bombs on contact.

Giovani 12:22

I, I like the way she explained that. She explained her, her, uh, Boston dish, her power, they explode that she's not hurling bombs. She'll throw her REI and whatever It touches, it turns into a bomb.

Dani 12:36

It turns into a bomb. Right. Which is kind of

Giovani 12:40

It is'cause tries to help. And Momo gets Momo,

Dani 12:45

she just got in

Giovani 12:46

got in the way, Classic Momo.

Dani 12:49

just somebody else to save. So, um, so then we get, uh, JE Captain Je and he breaks out this new technique. That he calls the JCA

Giovani 13:05

The jca. Yeah. Uh, Bambi's. She's such a bad girl. A lot of people like Bambi. I don't, a lot of people find her physically appealing and I don't know. I don't know. I don't, I'm a villain. I like villains. I'm not a villain. I like usually like feelings, but Bambi, I don't like. I don't like her. So when she antagonizes him and calls him a dog and doggy instincts and he, he releases his bonai, uh, coga. Did I pronounce that right? let's just say it's right. Coco, Joe, tin guy. May, may you.

Dani 13:52

I can't help you that one. I'm not sure

Giovani 13:54

so he does his bonai, and we all know what his bonai is. It's a, it's an avatar of himself. It's like a Sura warrior, avatar warrior, and that's what he does. And I thought that was fantastic. This guy must have powered up. And I was right. I was right.

Dani 14:16

I mean, it was really giving me like armored titan, Titan tees. Right?

Giovani 14:23

exactly. Exy. Yeah,

Dani 14:26

that's, that's what it was giving me,

Giovani 14:28

But it didn't stop there, right?

Dani 14:31

right?

Giovani 14:32

So,

Dani 14:33

He um, no, go ahead.

Giovani 14:35

He does this second Incantation. He does a second incantation. Called a dying guy, Joe. Were the, the, the avatar. Sheds his armor and it's just spiritual pressure. That's like a wicked demonic samurai or demon samurai. It's the most awesomest thing I've ever seen in bleach.

Dani 15:03

That was pretty cool. And so, uh, well, he explained the technique too, and he was, he, he was saying that it's the his clans, the werewolf clans technique. And that it's like temporarily breaking the chains of sins

Giovani 15:23

Right. Nice.

Dani 15:24

so you can return to your old form and to do the technique, which is the, this is part. To be able to do this technique, you have to offer up your heart. Literally heart out of chest to the clan leader to be able to use this immortal form.

Giovani 15:45

That's suspicious.

Dani 15:47

Fairy

Giovani 15:47

weird. So you have to offer your heart to your clan leader.

Dani 15:55

Hard, hard on the plate. Hair. Hair. Clan leader. Slide it over. Very, very red flag. Red flag is flying.

Giovani 16:04

So in this human form, Sanje becomes temporarily immortal when he activates this bonai. And that in itself, Type of op, Right. It's a type of overpowered situation going on. This is like yuha'cause He can't be killed.

Dani 16:24

Right. He can't die. He

Giovani 16:25

Can't be heard.

Dani 16:27

Right, but, but, the key to that, according to him, was that it was the armor. Like the armor is what is infused with life and life force.

Giovani 16:41

Okay.

Dani 16:41

Of the, I'm calling it the Titan, that's what I'm calling it, But when he shed the armor, that's what really kicked in the immortal part of things where, so it's like, it's a, a empty shell, so you can't, can't be killed

Giovani 16:57

that?

Dani 16:58

and can't die. So when she, so when she hit him, like he had already shed the armor, that's why nothing happened.

Giovani 17:07

So that is wicked. That's wicked. Um, well, it is. There's a lot of adjectives I wouldn't have thought at this because Okay. He sh so it's just pure racy. So that's almost like nobody, just your pure spirit or pure soul. You know? Right. It's like he's dead he's still walking dead.

Dani 17:31

I mean, I guess we're calling this immortal though, right? Like Yeah.

Giovani 17:37

yeah. But yeah, I was reading about this.

Dani 17:41

I mean, I think overall the technique's kind of cool. I mean, it's, it's a, um, I guess it's a upgrade to his

Giovani 17:48

If you can get your heart back,

Dani 17:52

well, I mean, we're not looking at, we haven't touched, we we're we haven't delved deep on that part yet. But if we are just looking at the surface level of the technique, it is, it looks cool. It is kind of

Giovani 18:04

Everything about this is, is cool. Like my, my whole ideal of sanje changed once I saw this form because his avatar, the avatar is cool. Kenny wasn't scared of it when Kenny won. When Kenny and Sanje was fighting, Kenny was excited to fight the big avatar.

Dani 18:25

Right.

Giovani 18:25

Uh, this upgrade to it. This is like, this is pretty tough. If you can get your heart back, it's the greatest technique.

Dani 18:36

Listen, this, this clan leader, I swear like he is, I don't know nothing good about this, this, this wolf

Giovani 18:48

Did, did do. He said, you must tear out your own heart, like dig in your chest, pull out your heart and serve it to me on the platter. I don't like this dog.

Dani 18:58

No, not at all.

Giovani 19:00

speaking of Yuha, The dog is worse than new hire

Dani 19:05

I mean, I, I can concur. I agree. He's, he's, he's up there all for self,

Giovani 19:13

all for sale.

Dani 19:14

Yeah. Yeah. So,

Giovani 19:16

So I was reading how this reflects on Buddhist and Hindu concepts of wrathful deities and et cetera, et cetera, That's what we get this storyline from.

Dani 19:27

well, you know what? That's, that's a good title for him. Wrathful Deity, right there. That's it. That's the one.

Giovani 19:35

Wow. So

Dani 19:37

So, so I mean, essentially Bambi is no match, um, for this technique and. She's defeated

Giovani 19:45

overwhelmed. He,

Dani 19:47

She's overwhelmed. She's defeated.

Giovani 19:49

he uses his big Avatar and I thought he hit her with a, his sword, but the way she explained it, he pushed the explosion back on her, crossing her own, explode explosions to, to kill her, essentially. So I thought he hit her with a sword, but he did not. But she's down. she's down for the

Dani 20:13

no, she's down, But as she's down, we see that he, um, tries to keep the technique going to head to wards where, um, Yuha is camped out

Giovani 20:26

U-Haul and Alt, they are staring in awe. Like they don't have any words. He didn't see this coming,

Dani 20:32

But yeah, he, they didn't see it coming and that this is one of my main problems right here.'cause I feel like this technique was wasted on Babi because as he is heading towards Yuha, we see that he can't maintain it.

Giovani 20:49

right

Dani 20:50

He's used up all his strength

Giovani 20:52

on Bambi.

Dani 20:53

this JCA technique on Bambi. And so we get a, a little narration of the clan leader kind of taunting him in a way where he's talking about, see, you've thrown your life away for vengeance. You know,

Giovani 21:10

back to the pack.

Dani 21:12

Welcome back to the Clan's. True form.'cause according to the elder, this, this is what this clan is all about. We're about revenge. We're about vengeance, you know?

Giovani 21:23

he was chastising him. uh, right.

Dani 21:26

He was He was chastising him,

Giovani 21:28

You thought you were better than us by joining the

Dani 21:31

He mocking him, right? He was mocking him. He was taunting him, He was like, you've thrown your life away. Now you have to become, uh, back into wolf form as a beast who cannot speak. You thought you were better than us when you joined the 13 court guard, but here you are back here again doing all the things that you preach that to others to not do. I'm like this, this old wolf He's wicked, isn't

Giovani 22:07

Right. And as, as the transformation was happening to je, he realized it too. He's like, oh. All this. I told, I told Tosen has come back to me I don't know if he felt it was worth it at the end while when he did it. It was for vens. For Yamamoto. But at the end it was the cost that was like, maybe I should, maybe I should've found another way I.

Dani 22:36

Maybe he should have found another way and, and maybe, but you know, it's kind of like if, if he was gonna make an ultimate sacrifice, I think it should have been on somebody a little more high level than, than Bambi, honestly.

Giovani 22:54

Who would you have liked to seen it on?

Dani 22:56

I mean, in when he initially left, he was heading for Yha. So I'm not sure he didn't make it up there. I just feel like you threw your life away to battle Bambi and I mean, I don't know, maybe I'm downplaying Bambis power, but I just felt like he probably could have gotten a job done without that technique. Trying to battle her. And so we have the, the elder taunting him that he sold his soul for revenge. And he eats his heart. He eats his heart

Giovani 23:31

So,

Dani 23:32

make sure he can't, to make sure he can't get it back. He, he's gonna eat it,

Giovani 23:35

so to, to me. See, Jein was still alive. He was just a, a wolf in wolf's form,

Dani 23:41

Yeah.

Giovani 23:42

but to prevent him from ever living again, he ate his heart. For his own purpose. So, NASA Jean Lieutenant Tetsu, I guess he witnesses this entire fight. He walks towards Seaburn. And I don't know what'll happen when they finally get to the Quincy Fortress. Silburn, but I mean

Dani 24:06

yeah, so, uh, heart of the Wolf Man.

Giovani 24:11

Heart of the Wolf,

Dani 24:12

Heart of wolf,

Giovani 24:14

of the wolf.

Dani 24:16

uh,

Giovani 24:16

You okay there? I didn't know that you liked JE so much or.

Dani 24:20

No, but I'm, I'm just, it's not about je so much as what the, um, the elder did to him. I just thought that was, that was cold, man. It, it really was. But you know what he says? That's how, that's what keeps him alive.

Giovani 24:36

vengeance.

Dani 24:37

feeds off of, he feeds off of, of the clan's need for revenge and vengeance. And the more he can get you to do that, the, I guess the longer he lives

Giovani 24:48

You know, we,

Dani 24:50

in, that aspect, he's just as bad as you ha

Giovani 24:54

We need to dive in deeper, and not this episode, but in a, in a further episode we need to talk about this werewolf clan and just break it down.'cause there was a lot happening I wasn't gonna talk about it'cause I haven't done my proper research on the, this world of TT Cubo because we know there's witches so that's this entire supernatural ram happening on earth that has a counterpart in soul society. So Du you comes to get DU and BG nine after their defeat. What do you think of that?

Dani 25:32

Uh, I mean, it was interesting. I, I, we don't, we don't know if this is a good thing or not.

Giovani 25:39

BG knowing

Dani 25:40

doesn't like it is.

Giovani 25:42

bg. No. Was trying to heal. Sanu was just, just wasted, just, sitting up. He, he looked

Dani 25:48

Well, we, we know, um, Yuha does not like losers. So

Giovani 25:53

Yeah.

Dani 25:55

it can't, can't be a good thing that he wants them back.

Giovani 25:58

yeah. the girls

Dani 25:59

yeah.

Giovani 26:00

are chastised, they mby about her loss and she seems really scared of one of these girls. I think it was, uh, Giselle Jewel.

Dani 26:09

Gigi. Yeah.

Giovani 26:10

She said, uh, did she call her Gigi? Like, Gigi, get away from me.

Dani 26:13

yeah. Yep.

Giovani 26:16

we don't know what's going on there,

Dani 26:18

What happened there? But she was definitely surrounded, so I don't know. That might be the end of Bambi.

Giovani 26:24

Maybe so Hosfelt and Shri are still talking. They're doing this, uh, James Bond villain type talking, where they're conversing like, you know, they're frenemies. Hosfelt is slowly weakening the barrier, and he finally weakens it enough to break it. n now in true, N now form, and I love Na now. She has another barrier come up instantaneously, but this one has traps. It look, it looks weaker, but it's infused with traps and tricks, so it catches horse fault by surprise. Uh,

Dani 27:05

Yeah.

Giovani 27:07

we has this look too. He's serious. He wants to fight.

Dani 27:12

But yeah, he seemed like he was ready to go, like. Like, okay, well now's your chance. Let's go. But, um, I, I guess ALT was called Back

Giovani 27:23

was called

Dani 27:24

Headquarters,

Giovani 27:25

I was expecting him to put like his index finger to his ear, you know, this hustle that didn't happen. So it was just like tele telepathy, I guess. Like, I gotta go, I'm being called. So, I guess it's not just du and veggie knowing to be called back. It's asphalt too.

Dani 27:45

Right.

Giovani 27:46

So

Dani 27:46

All right. So, um, before, um, I guess we wrap it up, we get, um, uh, a little blurb above, uh, MAs the masculine. Uh, you like him though. You find him as comic relief.

Giovani 27:59

I like him because as everyone knows, I'm a pro wrestling guy. I love pro wrestling. So when he was doing his moves, Lariat and elbow drops and spinning, he kicks. I was totally entertained. And he did a macho band, Randy Savage, where he jumps off the top rope and uh, elbows, s hay, and then he counts one. Two, three, and stands up like, I'm the champion. You can't tell me you did not like that

Dani 28:29

It was cool

Giovani 28:33

Yeah. He defeats them really quickly and he sees like two objects descend from the sky, I guess Roki or Rey, falling from the soul Palace. I mean,

Dani 28:47

the soul palace. yeah.

Giovani 28:50

That strikes his interest.

Dani 28:53

And we leave off, uh, there. So before we, um,

Giovani 28:59

shhe tries to stop him. Shhe tries to stop him, and he gets speed up. But that's when kin, kimchi and Rose, they stop. They stop the beating and uh, They offer him this. A fabulous two versus one fight. A superstar can't really turn that down to beat two captains. He's all in

Dani 29:23

Okay. All right. So I think that was it, right?

Giovani 29:27

and

Dani 29:27

Um,

Giovani 29:27

I That's,

Dani 29:28

we get to the

Giovani 29:29

Well, I just wanted to say this. I love. These Bonkin has a bonai we haven't seen since, uh, when they went back 110 years. I guess the, the reverse pendulum arc, um, I just, I wanna see this fight and I won't see Bon highs desperately want to see these guards, Bon highs, roses and kin.

Dani 29:53

Well, I don't think they, they don't seem to be holding back in that arena. It's, it's not about, if it's about when we we're gonna get to, I think all the bon Kais that we haven't seen before are gonna get

Giovani 30:04

What we've seen

Dani 30:05

like revealed.

Giovani 30:06

cans, Bon kai. We have not seen roses. Bon kai. We've seen the Chi kai, which is a whip with a rose to it

Dani 30:12

But yeah, I mean, I think they're gonna show'em.

Giovani 30:15

coat.

Dani 30:15

So maybe next episode,

Giovani 30:18

Range at ringside.

Dani 30:19

but yeah. And so we get our, our, um, I guess our, Outro of Ichigo They love teasing us with Ichigo in the outro.

Giovani 30:35

Uh,

Dani 30:36

Um, he's still walking down the path,

Giovani 30:38

there's steps. He's taking steps like baby steps'cause the pressure's so hard. But this was, was a bit different than the one we saw last episode. And, um, there was images. He took a step and there was still these images.

Dani 30:54

Yeah, they, they look like the same images that, that they showed before. Um, still just, they're flashing them on the screen, but I think it, they looked about all the same

Giovani 31:05

Ichi Bay is narrating his journey, like he's watching him on, you know, candid camera or something like that, or a hidden camera show. I don't think I like Ichi Bay.

Dani 31:16

Well, he, he comes off, um, a little sinister. And you definitely don't know what his intentions are and where he stands, and so I guess that can make him a little bit more unnerving and it doesn't help that he's always grinning

Giovani 31:34

Right. He's mentioning, uh, I Ichigo is being a vessel and can you handle the power of a king?

Dani 31:43

of the king.

Giovani 31:45

And you can see that.

Dani 31:46

Essentially saying what's happening to him is like he's receiving the power of the

Giovani 31:51

Isn't that why I said last episode?

Dani 31:54

yeah. So that's what it, it's coming off. That's, that's that, that's how I interpreted what he said. That that's what was happening to Ichigo. He's getting, he's receiving the power of the king.

Giovani 32:04

Right. So he's all this, um, power is entering each of God's body and he's being empowered and his body's being severely misshapen, and disfigured. And he, he screams, I, I don't know if it was in Agni agony or shock, but when he gets through and breaks this threshold, he sees,

Dani 32:27

uh,

Giovani 32:29

Jiro, waiting for him, and he makes the coolest comment ever, like he made it through. Now what's next? Right. What snakes, what you, what else you have for me? What you got.

Dani 32:43

Yeah, the Ashen Jamar is also of the, of Squad zero, the weave Guard.

Giovani 32:49

We don't know much about her.

Dani 32:52

yeah, not yet,

Giovani 32:53

I think she's the one who entered Mauris lab and said there was no security in there.

Dani 32:58

He didn't know how he got. Yeah, he was upset too.

Giovani 33:02

Yeah. Well, So that happened and that ended the episode. And, uh, I didn't know what to make of ichigo. They didn't dwell on his transformation

Dani 33:16

because we haven't, I mean, you, you hear power of the king, so you would assume that that is a massive level up, but. We can't tell

Giovani 33:29

And each

Dani 33:29

can't tell. I guess we'll see if, if we'll see it in action.

Giovani 33:33

Ipe did say when you go through this, you get these images, like the story of the king is coming to you. This is all part of becoming the vessel. So I think he, I don't think he has good intentions for ichigo. So that's just my opinion,

Dani 33:51

But nobody's stopping him, right? Like, I feel like shun, we suspects that he's up to no good. I feel like there's other people to suspect. Ichi ego's not really questioning it.'cause he so desperately wants the, the power up to be able to defeat you. Ha.

Giovani 34:07

How.

Dani 34:08

nobody's really

Giovani 34:08

there's no check.

Dani 34:10

whatcha doing? And why?

Giovani 34:12

no check and balance here because Central 46, therefore the Go Tie 13. But the royal pallets makes all the rules, so there's no checks or balance. When it comes to Squad zero. They pretty much do what they want to do.

Dani 34:29

Okay. All right, so that's the end of, uh, episode 17. We look forward to episode 18. Um, that one, they're calling rages at ringside.

Giovani 34:40

Yep.

Dani 34:41

I, so that's for, um, ridges at ringside. It's next week.

Giovani 34:46

Are you ready to rate this episode?

Dani 34:49

Uh, ratings.

Giovani 34:51

Yes. Ratings. That's what we do.

Dani 34:55

I

Giovani 34:55

we do here.

Dani 34:56

can, I think I can give this one. I'd give it a eight.

Giovani 35:01

Okay. Oh, go ahead. I'm gonna change my rating

Dani 35:04

first. So simply because of one. We got a nice little boost in the outro with Ichigo and um, uh, the story. Je that was, I found that to be, um, interesting so I, I thought those two things kind of really helped the episode be a little bit better than it was last week.

Giovani 35:33

Okay. I give it a 8.5 bunk highs, uh, for similar reasons. I like the way. SA Jean's story was laid out there. It was put out there for us to consume and to have a second villain to an extent with this, uh, elder Wolf because I ended up not liking this guy. Uh, I also liked the fact that it seemed like the Soul Reapers were winning. It seemed like that Bambi was down. Bg Noying was down. Uh, du they all lost their battles and it's rare and that stern rhythms lose. So 8.5. What's your best and worst?

Dani 36:23

Hmm.

Giovani 36:25

Can I go? Can I do

Dani 36:26

Uh, yeah, go ahead. go.

Giovani 36:29

Because I just said it. My best Is. The Soul Reapers making their comeback. If you can remember Sun Sri, he was looking at alt and he said the ties of battle is turning. And Hobart agreed with them because three stern Ritters, powerful, stern, ritters were down. And I really think that's why Yuha called them back. He's calling them back to regroup. So, there we go. That's my best.

Dani 37:01

Okay. Uh, I dunno what my best is. Uh, I'm not sure if I have a best. Really, but I can say that I'm glad IHI go survive this power up

Giovani 37:13

Okay.

Dani 37:15

And um, I did like the upgrade to, even if it was to his detriment, the upgrade to the ASINs Vanka, I thought the um, Especially the animation. I mean, I, I guess I did have some c G I that was like, uh, but the, um, overall I thought it looked good and I, I did like the upgrade.

Giovani 37:40

I feel like we don't have to do a worse, because our combined words should be the death of Sanin, Komar, Koru. So Sanje dying and um, untimely and unneeded death was probably as bad as it gets.

Dani 37:57

Oh yes. That and that evil elder,

Giovani 38:02

Yeah, the dog.

Dani 38:03

know? Yeah, man. I'm like, this is a wicked guy. What? Why hasn't anybody taken him out yet?

Giovani 38:10

Right, because it's, I mean, vengeance is real. Ven is, I mean, think Yuhas entire thousand year war, his revenge war is about about revenge

Dani 38:22

It's one thing if he's just meandering along and the clan, you know, they get into these situations all on their own, but he literally engineered this.

Giovani 38:34

He played

Dani 38:34

what the outcome would probably be. Huh?

Giovani 38:37

He played in the sea. Like JE wanted the power up and he knew about

Dani 38:41

engineer and I mean, he encouraged the technique probably with, it felt like Jein knew about the technique. He encouraged him using the technique, but forgot to tell him the fine print That's what it felt like. He left off the fine print on purpose. So yeah. You know, aging.

Giovani 39:02

cause I don't think Sarin knew he was gonna die. Maybe he did. But

Dani 39:06

no.

Giovani 39:07

from what I read, and I read this in the manga too, I, it wasn't apparent that he knew he was gonna die or maybe he did.

Dani 39:18

Well did I mean, but the way it was presented, did he have to die? I think he made sure he died right.

Giovani 39:26

I'm gonna read the, read the Manga again. Um, he understood it was a sacrifice, but maybe when you're so, so caught up in revenge, you don't think about the consequences to afterwards.

Dani 39:38

Please don't. P B Ss after school specialist like

Giovani 39:42

But I'm serious. like maybe he, he didn't still grasp what this meant.

Dani 39:47

It was evil

Giovani 39:48

Like when rage takes you, all you see

Dani 39:51

ask the school specialist,

Giovani 39:52

just see red.

Dani 39:56

All right.

Giovani 39:57

So

Dani 39:58

All right. Uh, is, is that it? Everything for us,

Giovani 40:01

I think that's a.

Dani 40:02

on

Giovani 40:03

About it. That's all we can talk about for now.

Dani 40:07

Yeah. Well, I'm looking forward to the, to the next one. Uh, we're chipping along, uh, knocking these episodes out. And you can always catch us on the Facebook page. Don't forget to go over there and give us a shout.

Giovani 40:27

You know, I got a interesting uh, dmm. From, uh, from a friend, Well, a friend that listens to the site and he asked, he had the nerve to ask, are, we're gonna do guests? And I'm like, we don't have a format. Go figure

Dani 40:48

Well, we'll get there. We'll get there. I don't have a problem

Giovani 40:51
