You know, 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:16.040 before we jump into what we're here to talk about, 0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:19.079 which I'm super excited about, we talked about what we're 0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:21.320 seeking out about this week, So what are you geeking 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:23.960 out about this a week I'm still gigging out about. 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:28.680 Anime Expo had just passed. Um. I was there um 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:32.120 all five days because there it's really five instead of 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:35.920 four now um working hard doing photography. I was on 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:38.240 a couple of panels. I was on People of Color 0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:41.960 and Cosplay panel, which was awesome time, which I feel 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:45.400 we needed more time to do, Like one hour was 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:47.840 not enough for that one, but we got a lot 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:51.400 of good information out for that. I'm just honestly just 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:53.959 having a really great time with all the new anime 0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:57.160 that I found out about, one of which, if you 0:02:57.160 --> 0:03:01.120 would be really into, it's called, um, how much how 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:03.919 much do the how much? How much weight do the 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:07.880 dumbbell as you lift? It's it's it's a very long 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:11.840 anime ish title, and I know that, Yeah it's a 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:16.600 long question, but you were asking me serious. It's basically like, 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:19.519 how much do you lift? Bro? In anime? Is that? 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:23.040 It's pretty It's hilarious. It's not like a second episode 0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:25.160 I'll send you. It's I'll send you the links and stuff. 0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:29.360 I'm down. But yeah, yeah, well all right, well that's cool. 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:31.799 I'm super excited to you check out do you left 0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:37.320 bro the anime? Super tight? What I'm geeking out about 0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:39.440 is if you and I were at the Lion King premiere, 0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:45.320 I was super dope. Beyonce was there, she got a 0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:49.960 standing ovation before the movie started. Think it's like everyone 0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:53.160 else chill, chill, chill Beyonce, everyone stood up here, and 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:55.080 y'all can say to people, I went to the movies 0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:59.440 with Beyonce. With Beyonce, it was a good time. What 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:02.440 I wanted to say was I thought Billy Eichner like 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:07.280 stole the show so funny as Toman, Like I really 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:09.720 didn't know if they could do more with those characters 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:12.880 him and Seth Rogan, and they really did um And 0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:16.080 also we were just talking about this before before we 0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:18.920 started recording, but like everyone is kind of dunking on 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:23.359 They like released part of Matata for Jimmy Kimmel and 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:24.960 everyone is like dunking on it. And if you and 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:26.680 I were like, that is not what it looks like 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:31.360 on the big screen. But like and so it's I 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:34.000 just like, have kept I've just been quiet. I think 0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:36.080 people also think I'm biased. They're like, oh, she does 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:39.080 stuff with Disney, like you know, but they don't. It's like, 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:43.040 because I'm sorry to interrupt, but like, movies are basically 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:46.240 filmed digitally, and they're made for larger screens, so when 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:48.560 you see it on something smaller, it's gonna look different. 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:52.239 That's just pretty much the name of the game right there. Now. Yeah, 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:54.640 and there was like so many parts that you haven't seen. 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:57.760 So but I understand if people are like, it's not 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:01.080 the original whatever, But like for me, it's great because 0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:06.160 now we actually have like poc voicing the Lions. I mean, 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:08.640 it's a big deal in same with like a Laddin. 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:10.280 Now we actually have a person of color, but that's 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:12.880 voicing Aladdin. Um And like I know, it's not a 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:14.599 big deal to other people, but it's a big deal 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:16.680 to certain groups. So maybe you just like keep that 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:19.400 in mind when you're like, why why should this exist 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:22.280 because you don't want to hear dj is from full 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:26.680 House's boyfriend. Yeah, you know he was. He was like 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:29.919 a product of that time and now it needs to 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:33.600 be updated and anyways, So that's that's my piece on that. 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:36.839 And um, I thought Billy though, like stole the show. 0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:39.480 Who's so great and funny? If you what are you 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:42.400 speaking out about? So for me, I am seeking out 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:47.680 about Cosmic Ghostwriter, which is a like kind of guy. 0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:50.960 It's being written by Paul Sheer and Nick Giovanetti, who 0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:55.080 or my showrunners for the show that I'm on, and 0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:57.520 you know, the fun thing about working with someone who 0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:00.960 is writing a comic is you're you know, usually you know, 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:04.160 between when we're working, you know, he's also dealing with 0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:07.159 notes on the stuff and getting a little sneak peek. 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:10.520 And I gotta say, I really love the direction that 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:14.560 they're going in this next issue. I have been laughing. 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:17.440 I'm super hyped about it. So definitely look out for 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:20.280 that next month. But yeah, it's been cool, and you know, 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:22.960 you've been giving me some pointers and stuff, and it's 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:26.560 very interesting, uh to uh to really see that other 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:29.960 side of writing. So we'll see what happens with that. 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:32.440 If you what are we talking about today? Today we're 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:37.800 talking about an anime, and uh, anime that is better 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:42.920 multiple punches, Uh, no, just one. It's One punch Man, 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:47.200 which is, you know, great anime that is super fun 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:50.200 even if you don't watch anime, but even funnier if 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:52.719 you watch anime because it plays with a lot of 0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:57.359 that kind of stuff. But first we're gonna get the 0:06:57.440 --> 0:07:00.040 nitty gritty out of the way. One Punchman is a 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:04.240 Japanese superhero web manga created by One which began publication 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:06.760 in early two thousand and nine. The series quickly went viral, 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:09.960 surpassing seven point nine million hits in June two thousand twelve. 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:14.480 The Japanese shortened name uh Wan Panman is a play 0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:17.920 on the long running children's character On Ponman Wan Pon, 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:22.080 being a contraction of one Punchy One Punch. One punch 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:24.400 Man tells the story of said Tom, a superhero who 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:26.920 has grown bored by the absence of a challenge in 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:29.800 his fight against evil and seeks to find a worthy opponent. 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:34.000 But yeah, I knew that nitty gritty just off rip 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:36.920 and I always That's what makes it so cool to 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:40.840 me is that this isn't your typical anime that's like 0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:43.480 anime that's like based off of a manga from like 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:47.640 a a manga house, or like a publication that normally 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:50.480 you know is cranking out dope shown an anime or 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:54.160 dope action enemy. This is like a person who had 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:57.040 a web comic that like blew up and now it's 0:07:57.120 --> 0:08:01.960 this insane respected anime, which I just love stories like that. 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:05.440 It's like very inspiring. I don't think I knew. Did 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:08.880 you see the comic before you watch the show? I did, 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:12.640 um I saw that this was actually the one like 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:16.040 anime property that actually got me to read manga. Like 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:20.080 I never read manga before. I never read it before. 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:22.440 And then I saw the web comic. I think I 0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:24.480 saw it on like read it or something somebody posted 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:26.680 like a picture or something, and it was just this 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:31.360 like really unassuming looking guy who was just like beating 0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:33.640 the crap out of everybody. Was just like one punch 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:35.280 and I'm like, wait a minute, this can't be real. 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:37.719 And then and then I started reading more of this 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:40.400 is kind of hilarious. So at the time, like I 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:43.200 don't think the anime had come out yet, but they 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:45.640 had already started doing the manga. So I started just 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:47.520 reading it. I was like, oh god, I just need 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:49.560 to see more of what this dude is doing. And 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:52.320 like the more I read it, the more I was like, hey, 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:55.719 this is making fun of everything. It's just like hilarious. 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:59.720 Now it makes it better because it's like, okay, it's 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:02.199 just he's really just taking all these different tropes and 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:05.520 just like just crapping all over and it's the it's 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:07.720 the funniest thing ever. And then when you go into 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:12.000 the backstory of the main characters side to my um, 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:14.520 I related a lot to him. You know, it's just 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:18.040 a guy who's basically doing something that he likes to 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:20.439 do just for fun, just for the challenge of it. 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:23.120 You know, he just wants to get better at doing stuff, 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:26.400 but he can't find any challenge anywhere, so he's super 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:30.199 depressed about that. Yeah. I love that they make fun 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:33.720 of the superhero shown in genre. Yeah and well, this 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:36.080 is a quote from one who the creator said, punching 0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:40.000 is oftentimes pretty useless against life's problems. But inside one 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:42.360 punch Man's universe, I made say Toma a sort of 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:44.800 guy who was capable of adapting his life to the 0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:48.280 world that surrounded him only armed with his immense power. 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:51.480 The only obstacles he faces are mundane things like running 0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:56.040 short of money. In my opinion, that's not mundane. But 0:09:56.320 --> 0:10:00.160 if money problems are mundane and you you good, we're 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:03.560 doing good, Well, it's probably because he can defeat anyone 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:05.199 he wants. Yeah, you know, I mean, even though he 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:07.600 uses that primarily for good. But that might be why. 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:11.760 Um So, what exactly drew you too? I mean, aside 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:15.880 from it being funny, what drew you to this franchise? Um? Well, 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:18.320 when I saw like a full picture of side to 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:21.640 my um. The title the title character one punch man, 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:23.840 I saw a lot of myself and the one he's 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:26.640 he's a skinny dude. He's like kind of tall and stuff, 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:30.000 and I'm like, okay, cool, a skinny hero. Finally, let's 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:32.320 do this. You know, we didn't get that to what 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:38.240 like Goku win Super saying God slim death. If he 0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:43.760 is visibly upset that I brought that up. He is 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:48.360 visibly upset that I brought that up. But yeah, it's 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:51.000 just like a skinny a skinny dude. Like if you 0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:54.080 go into his origin how he decided to become a hero, 0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:57.120 he was just he was an unemployed guy looking for 0:10:57.160 --> 0:11:00.520 work and he saw someone who needed help. Um uh. 0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:04.199 Probably one of one of a long line of weird 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:08.280 villains in this show. H dude name of Kraiblante. He 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:12.040 was just basically a half craft half half man walking 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:14.920 around in tidy Whitey's bad because some little kid drew 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:19.480 nipples on him. Um. And he had the most challenging fighting. 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:22.080 He just chased that feeling until he got you know, 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:25.800 too strong for everybody. And then the artwork was. The 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:29.559 artwork was great. Um. The storytelling was. The storytelling was 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:32.439 awesome because they took out a key element of storytelling, 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:36.200 which is conflict. And the side of my hats absolutely 0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:39.360 no conflict. He can solve everything with literally one punch, 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:42.840 and his conflict actually comes from real life problems like 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:46.240 being late for sale or you know, not having enough 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:50.080 money for rent, or like you know, not being able 0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:52.640 to beat his friend at a fighting game. Stuff like that. 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:55.760 So when they take like the things like, oh, well 0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:57.720 the world is about to end, don't worry. I'll punch 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:01.439 that problem away. Um onions go on sale today. I 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:04.440 gotta make it to the market. So so, like we said, 0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:08.120 just huge success online and this series really began to 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:10.880 take off by the time uh one had written the 0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:14.080 fifth chapter so on Nitosha, which is the site it 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:17.320 was hosted on. Originally, a series was considered popular if 0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:21.960 it consistently received at least thirty comments, but by the 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:24.600 time that One had published chapter thirty, he was receiving 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:28.679 nearly a thousand comments per chapter, and in February two ten, 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:30.920 One put the series on hiatus to focus on work 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:33.840 on his family. But things changed in two thousand eleven 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:36.559 because he was contacted by the artists use gave Murrada 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:40.080 about a possible partnership where Murata would redraw the manga 0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:43.400 for One Murada had been an enormous fan of One 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:46.360 punch Man and was ill at the time, Fearing that 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:50.439 he was going to die, he contacted One Wolf. Reflecting back, 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:52.520 he said, around that time, I was actually really sick. 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:54.800 I broke out in the hives and my inner organs 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:57.240 were infected and I couldn't breathe well and my wind 0:12:57.320 --> 0:12:59.720 pipes were swelling as in the hospital, and I thought, 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.880 I guess people die just like that. If I'm gonna die, 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:04.400 I want to do something I'd really love to. I 0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:07.160 want to draw Mango with Mr One. That's what I thought. 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:10.280 That's insane. Yeah, so you know what I gotta do. Yeah, 0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:13.680 I gotta hit up a curatory and uh right when 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:16.199 my time is coming. Yeah. He was like, hey, you 0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:18.760 gotta do it. So then U Barada. Since he was 0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:21.360 already a successful manga artist, he was able to use 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:23.960 his connections in the industry to get a publishing deal 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:29.120 with Weekly Young Jump Comics, and that's how the manga started. 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:31.400 That led to the anime, which led to the legend 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:34.920 we all know as One punch Man being on like 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:38.199 Netflix and well I saw it on Adult Switch. No, 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:41.079 I saw it before Adult Swift. Where was that before? 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:47.679 Before Adult Swim it was on? Was it on Netflix? Okay? 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:50.480 So I saw the Netflix and then Adult Swim had 0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:53.120 the dub. Yeah yeah, yeah, I remember that. I think 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:55.320 our friend Kylie Berry's in that. And now it's on 0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:58.480 now it's on Hulu. Okay, yeah, now it's on who 0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:01.800 Exclusively app but leave. Oh so Adult Swim pulled it. 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:04.040 I think Adults Swim pulled in like or I mean 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:08.079 they pulled it. Yeah, and like it's on us on 0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:11.320 Hulu now because they just wrapped up season two like 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:13.920 two weeks ago, and I heard season two's out. Someone 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:16.920 go and watch. Yeah, so it's great for everyone listening, 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:21.360 Like you're not actually far behind the cover and they're 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:23.880 on season eleven. And like I wouldn't even people try 0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:25.760 to hop into someone like I wouldn't even do it. 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:29.240 I can't wait to hear the five part nightmare. That's 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:35.520 one piece when you leave what I do. What I 0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:37.960 do is I just skip and I watched the movies. Yeah, 0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:40.440 that's what I do for a lot of things. Like 0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:42.960 we saw One Piece Gold and it was great. I 0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:46.800 actually love that movie. I started with the show and 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:49.360 then I was like, this is way too much going 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:51.240 on right here. I'm just gonna just skip to the 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:53.560 movies and just go from there. And now I'm a 0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:57.680 much happier person that well. Yeah, like One Piece started 0:14:57.680 --> 0:15:02.560 in yeah, and it's still running untill to this day. 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:05.000 And that they they're they're up there with like episode 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:08.560 I think like ww raw has like more episodes than 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:13.720 One Piece, and it's like neck and neck. Yeah, One 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:16.080 Piece is gonna lap Raws. Yeah, if you wanted to 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:18.720 watch One punch Man, you can get right in right 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:21.840 now because it's only on season two. Yeah, you don't 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:25.440 have to go through that long wait that we had. Yeah, 0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:28.000 it was like years. That was a dragon ball Z 0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:32.480 way what happened? There a lot going Yeah, there's actually more. 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:35.800 There's more seasons of Stranger Things and there are man 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:40.560 so get in. Speaking of the world of One punch Man, 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:44.120 So it takes place on an unnamed Earth like super 0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:48.200 continent planet where powerful monsters and villains have been racking 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:51.320 havoc in the city's To combat them, the world's government 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:55.680 created a hero association that employs superheroes to stop them. Here, 0:15:55.920 --> 0:15:57.760 I do want to say when this came out, also 0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:01.840 my hair Academia and they're on the same time, very similar. Yeah, 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:05.280 Like something was in the water with like superhero classes. 0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:09.360 It was like, let's let's make superhero and occupation with that, 0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:13.600 you know, and like a world that idolizes them. Uh. 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:16.200 The heroes are ranked from class C to Class S, 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:20.200 said Tom. An unassociated hero hails from the metropolis of 0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:23.720 City Z and performs heroic deeds for his own entertainment. 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:26.960 Love that very much. Kind of like a Goku character 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:30.240 in Man, Yeah, yeah, yeah, but smarter. He has trained 0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:33.080 himself to the point where he broke his LIMITU and 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:35.800 can effortlessly defeat any opponent with a single punch, which 0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:38.520 is what we were talking about. Um, so talk to 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:41.600 me about some of his Some of the villains and 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:47.440 the villains in this are quite hilarious actually, the villains, um, 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:50.440 they go through typical villain tropes. The first villain we 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:54.520 see is vaccine Man, and he's basically made from all 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:56.640 the pollution and stuff that people have put into the earth. 0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:59.720 The Earth wanted to fight back, so vaccine Man was 0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:03.160 He went on this long monologue and one and side him, 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:04.639 I just punched him in the mouth because he was 0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:06.639 just talking too much. He's like, look, you're just boring 0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:10.560 me right now. You limited twenty words or less, so 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:13.240 we can get down with this, do you anti vaxer 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:19.880 put that in there? Like Captain Planet being like shut up, right, 0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:22.240 you just just just cut it out. I do want 0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:25.440 to say, I went to uh Disneyland, um the other week, 0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:29.520 and they have at Pixar pier. It's the saddest if 0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:31.240 you'll have to send it to you. It's, um a 0:17:31.280 --> 0:17:35.439 picture of these otters. It's like this picturesque like Bay Area, 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:38.760 like painting this mural. But then there's like these otters 0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:43.040 and they're like holding a six pack ringlet and like 0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:45.600 very sadly look like they're about to cry. And I'm 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:47.800 like this is so intense to be right, it's like 0:17:47.840 --> 0:17:50.879 don't pollute and it's like right there for all the kids, 0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:53.080 and it's like these otters like trapped in this like 0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:58.680 ring pack. Anyways, Um, so we have the anti vaxer. Okay, 0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:04.040 the anti vaxer have Lord Boris. I'm gonna I'm trying 0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:06.479 to get my notes, right, Lord Boris. He's like the 0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:11.439 main villain of the first season. Uh, very super saying 0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:16.080 three like if it was evil looking with one eye 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:20.600 like and the boros yes, thank you. Uh. He was 0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:23.320 basically one of the few people who could give Side 0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:26.840 to My challenge until you find out that he was 0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:29.760 holding back the entire time and was just like doing 0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:33.680 this out of pity. He would he basically fought someone 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:35.800 out of pity, just knowing that he could have beaten 0:18:35.840 --> 0:18:38.320 him a long time ago. He just wanted to give 0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:40.639 him some fun before he gave him the one punch, 0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:45.640 which he unleashed his super move, um, the super serious 0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:51.360 punch at the end of the episode, he looks yes 0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:55.600 this also uh, Speed of Sound Sonic, who is kind 0:18:55.600 --> 0:18:59.720 of like a ninja like looking like Ninja guiding who 0:18:59.840 --> 0:19:04.680 is just obsessed with defeating Side to My because Side 0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:08.679 never remembers his name any time that they see each other, 0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:13.679 like who are you again? Like do we know each other? Yes? Yes? 0:19:13.920 --> 0:19:18.720 And u um House of Evolution. There's also like kind 0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:21.639 of kind of villains kind of just not on the 0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:25.880 side of good totally, but not outright evil or anything 0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:29.920 like that, you know, because that's where his sidekick, Geno's 0:19:30.640 --> 0:19:33.359 pretty much came from the House of Evolution, out of 0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:36.760 like an experiment that made like a teenage kid a 0:19:36.800 --> 0:19:41.400 cyborg who also talks a lot, which much to disagreeing 0:19:41.520 --> 0:19:44.080 up Side to the villains in this show get a 0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:47.520 lot more shine than the heroes because when you actually 0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:49.800 watched the show or read the manga site, Tomad is 0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:53.719 barely there, like because again he can solve all these 0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:56.320 problems with one punch. That's just bad storytelling if you 0:19:56.400 --> 0:19:58.920 just throw them in there. Everything kind of like circles 0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:01.720 around everyone else, and the inside to My shows up 0:20:01.800 --> 0:20:06.359 usually late, usually on accident, sometimes butt naked, just like 0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:09.879 just to just to get out there and just d 0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:13.760 end all the conflict going on. In season two, the 0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:18.240 villain's name was Garu. He was the hero Hunter. Basically, 0:20:18.280 --> 0:20:21.480 he was this guy. He was super duper strong, very 0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:23.840 talented at killing people. He was trained by one of 0:20:23.840 --> 0:20:27.920 the top heroes, and he just hated the hero way 0:20:27.920 --> 0:20:31.160 of life and only wanted to fight the highest ranking heroes. 0:20:31.200 --> 0:20:33.439 He didn't even think about side to my, even though 0:20:33.480 --> 0:20:37.000 he encountered him several times. Inside him, I just basically 0:20:37.040 --> 0:20:39.800 dealt with him with one punch, one kick, and one 0:20:39.920 --> 0:20:43.239 very hilarious scene and he was just like, what's that 0:20:43.280 --> 0:20:46.360 over there? You you just kicked the guy through a wall. Yeah, 0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:48.240 I know he was in my way. He was running 0:20:48.280 --> 0:20:51.119 towards us. You know, we have to take a really 0:20:51.200 --> 0:20:53.240 quick break and then we're gonna hop back into one 0:20:53.280 --> 0:21:05.600 punch Man right after this and we're back. And so Aaron, 0:21:05.640 --> 0:21:08.520 you mentioned Jenos. Can you talk about like how sa 0:21:08.680 --> 0:21:11.240 Tama you have been saying it different. That's how I say. 0:21:11.400 --> 0:21:15.960 You say you got an accent on a different part 0:21:16.000 --> 0:21:20.480 than yeah at me if you like no, I'm sure 0:21:20.520 --> 0:21:24.000 you're correct. I know I probably watching and I watched. 0:21:24.200 --> 0:21:26.440 I watched it. I watched it both and I've heard 0:21:26.480 --> 0:21:29.359 it pronounced both ways on the same show. So we're 0:21:29.400 --> 0:21:35.480 both correct. We're both right, like vegeta yeah, and Andarato 0:21:35.800 --> 0:21:40.080 and I'm just speaking with the cd Y accent and 0:21:40.400 --> 0:21:43.200 sits from CDZ, so they have a different accent. And 0:21:43.320 --> 0:21:47.120 we can you talk about how he became a mentor 0:21:47.280 --> 0:21:49.960 to Jennos and like what happened with Jennas really didn't 0:21:49.960 --> 0:21:54.040 want to he really didn't want to not so he 0:21:54.119 --> 0:21:58.840 met Jenos. He was fighting another villain who basically she 0:21:59.000 --> 0:22:02.359 was a mosquito who could control other mosquitoes, suck the 0:22:02.400 --> 0:22:05.280 blood out of everyone. Else her name escapes me at 0:22:05.320 --> 0:22:08.920 this point and signed him up. Basically happened upon her 0:22:09.080 --> 0:22:12.239 on complete accent as he was on accident as he 0:22:12.320 --> 0:22:14.920 was chasing a mosquito through his house and then through 0:22:14.920 --> 0:22:17.639 the neighborhood trying to kill this mosquito, like like, he 0:22:17.680 --> 0:22:21.040 can kill anybody with one punch, but the mosquito is 0:22:21.119 --> 0:22:24.080 where his weakness lies in this episode, and Jennals was 0:22:24.160 --> 0:22:27.040 already in the middle of this fight, uh, and was 0:22:27.119 --> 0:22:30.360 about to self destruct because that's what Jenerals does. That 0:22:30.359 --> 0:22:33.720 that happens a lot. General's trying to self destruct because 0:22:33.720 --> 0:22:35.480
