Welcome to another episode of Jeff Jeff's Bizarre Adventure. I'm your host mos En
joined Bye John aka Super I arepatch Wolf. How are you today? Tomorrow?
Even with COVID? It is fantastic to be here. Do you so
you actively have COVID? I need to test now and I think I'm okay.
This test is from a couple of days ago. But like, look
at this purple lion. This is like this is this is like mega covid
dark. Your your viral load is potent. I am encumbered. Is what's
happening? It's viral? I feel pretty stuff? You look good? Yeah?
Yeah, yeah, your your hair. You're contributing, which is more
than you can say for some people. We're also joined by Lucy James.
Hi. I'm good. I'm reeling from the hair reference. Yes, yeah,
yeah good. I spent the weekend deep cleaning my apartment, so you
know it feels so good, feel so good. Man, Oh my god,
that's me. Hello, Tam, How are you? How are you
friends? Right? How are you doing? I'm doing well. I'm doing
fine. I'm doing dandy. I'm doing I'm doing what I'm doing to get
by. You just spent twenty minutes complaining about your neck. Yeah, my
next little fuck, this's not my neck, It's more my arm. I
have like a pinched nerve situation happening, I think. But look, you
know, life's gonna throw your curveballs and you just gotta get the timing right
so you could smack that poppy out of the park, you know what I
mean? Yeah, is this your rebrand into becoming some kind of positive life
influence, So you're gonna start manifesting, Lucy Lousey Lidsey. I think most
people would never accuse me of being a negative person. I think most people
would only shower me with compliments about how I'm the positive part of their day,
the light of my life. No, not really, that's my cats
beer up there, They're good. I'm up. I'm up there, and
I'm positive and I've been many many joys by these two episodes of Jujoe's Bizarre
Adventure. Real quick, first, I just want to thank everyone who was
a part of my charity stream a little bit ago. We had a lot
of a lot of a lot of the community from Jeff Jeff's in there,
and it was really really great to see them tomorrow and Lucy I know you
couldn't be there because of professional obligation. I'm so sorry, but I'm glad
to hear. Well, it's okay, and I believe it. I watched.
I definitely watched. Oh, thank you, thank you, and Jeff.
Uh Yeah, I hope you had. I hope you had a good,
good saturday. You know, it could have been a lot better if
I was traveling to sunny Los Angeles, but I could not. And you
know what, by the way, thank you for asking how my Saturday was.
That means a great deal to me, and I respect the charity that
you were able to execute. Name the charity it was, it was.
We mentioned it every every ten minutes of the stream, Jeff, So just
remember, recall which part of the stream you tuned in for, and then
just remember the charity from that. Well, I don't I did not tune
into it on account of my sickness. So you know, I don't know
if we're trying to like point fingers here or like understand you know where I
was when you were watching the VODs later after you got better them. I
didn't watch the VODs later. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not
gonna sit here and say I saw them. I saw it. No,
I didn't. I didn't see anything. I didn't see anything that you did.
But I respect the fact that you did it. Okay, So you
just donated a bunch of money and you don't even know which charity that you
donated to. You know, I I tried to donate that anonymously and you
calling me out here. That's it, And that's a that's a it's a
breaking of the bond that we shared. That is, that's a little bit
of you didn't donate anything. Trust that's been lost. There's nothing. It
was for the World Central Kitchen. I think you can still donate. Yeah,
I don't know. I haven't figured out how to turn those things off.
So yeah, keep them open. What's the point of closing them,
I don't you know. Yeah, So if anyone out there wants to donate,
you can. I don't know. Do you have to? You have
to close it so them, like the money just goes straight there, right,
So I hope so, because that means I think I've raised the lifetime
of zero dollars. If I officially have to close it, I should really
look into this. You probably should check that we are going to be recapping
and talking about our responses or experiences or feelings to two episodes of JoJo's Bizarre
Adventure today. The first episode is called Yoshikaga Kira Just Wants to Live Quietly
Part one. Second one is part two. Okay, these are the episodes.
This is the point I've been waiting for, and it's finally here.
This show just decided to get serious. This show made a very conscious and
deliberate decision in these two episodes where it's like, enough fucking around, this
is important, this matters, pay attention. And I was blown I'm blown
away and I've never had two episodes fly by so quickly. And then both
of these Live Quietly episodes. Holy shit. I really like this this character,
not because I think he's like a good dude. I just really like
this character. I find him this This is my favorite. This is my
favorite Jojo character, full stop. It's Kira is just like, oh,
he he's just he's just the perfect amount of crazy, you know what.
You know? He answers an impossible question, what do you do after deal?
Right? And you have like a joker, which look I hate to
say joker. I'm not I feel like he's He's Corinthian from He's the Corinthian.
Never read that. I never read that. Oh it's really good.
But he's literally like a whole thing. No, no, I'm not gonna
spoil it, but like there's the whole thing about the Corinthian is that,
like there is a meeting of serial killers and he is the creepiest like guest
of honor, and all the rest of them are basically scared of him.
And he's so cool and composed, and he has teeth for eyes babies.
So here's what's really cool to him. I don't want to like step on
your your toesies, tam as you start to go through the episode. The
reason Kira, I think is so fucking cool is that he doesn't even need
a stand, Like they didn't even need to give my man a stand,
right, and he would be like he's He would still be cool and scary
and a formid o opponent even without killer Queen. I agree. Oh sorry,
do you mean do you mean dead Queen? As the crunchy Roll subtitles
cool? Oh no, how is it deadly? It's got to be the
reference, right, Like do you mean queen? The song Queen Queen?
No, Killer, Queen doesn't. No, it's a song by Queen.
She's Queen. Okay, yeah, that's the song. I'm thinking I met
you thinking of under Pressure. No, you're thinking of Queen Bitch, which
is a David Bowie song. He does also in the manga at least look
exactly like David Bowie. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean even like
he has a thin white duke then going on even in the anime. No,
it's it's great. Everything there is great. Everything there is phenomenal.
Let's let's get into it. We begin. This recap is taken from JoJo's
Bizarre Encyclopedia, which is jojo wicked dot com. Thank you to everyone that
maintains that makes a lot of much easier. We begin in Mario. It's
a nice day and previously introgy Yoshikaga Kira is a serial killer slash salary man
and he's hanging out at home with his girlfriend, who he's made breakfast for.
His girlfriend happens to be a severed hand of a woman that he previously
murdered. Look, he love comes off with that hand, you know.
Yeah, I mean, I'm not judging. I'm not judging. I would
not do that sometimes it comes in the dismembered wrist of a woman. I
don't know, let's not talk about what that's the party. I think I
maybe slightly misheard what you said, Lucy. That was weird things happening right
now? There four that. Okay, he shags that wrist like we know
he does. Yeah, I don't know if we know what he does.
I mean I figured it was a kind of jerky you don't need to do.
The hand movement was a beef jerky. Yeah, I thought that's what
we happening. Yeah, that's logical on account of it being a hand.
I don't know. You can buy flash lights in the ankle. You can
buy a flashlight, Okay, what do you mean? You can buy a
silicon foot and they've put the flash light in the ankle of it. No,
why why like people you like? FET's king shame. It's literally a
question of logic. It's literally, what are we doing doing? Like anatomy?
Anatomy? Lucy? Like, just are we just making ship up now?
I just know I'm with I'm with John here, Like that's it's just
not it's it's not worse. The ergonomics at the top of the for is
weird. It shouldn't be in the leg that was weird. It's like I
didn't do it. I just watched a Vice documentary about it. Like I'm
not. I'm not shaming for people. Like no, sounds like no,
it's just no, a severed foot. I'm shaming severed foot people. You
know. I think that's where the shame line ends for me. That's where.
Anyway, let's talk about my favorite character, your Chicagyra. He's got
a ring enthusiast. He's got a ring that he gives to his girlfriend,
slips on the finger, and then they together head to the town square Sat
Gentleman's Bakery. And I would fucking love to go to Saint Gentlemen's. I
wish go there for some reason. I wish we could get some some sandwiches,
some m some of them cats to sandwiches. Man. It seems real
good, it seems real real nice. You know what, I might make
egg salad, just as inspired me to make a nice sandwich. I might
make it like an egg salad sand of my lunch. Okay. On his
way there, he's greeted by a bunch of women who I believe it is
coworkers. And you guys think these women look so strange. Yeah, they
look something very like frog like in their features. I don't know about that.
Jesus. A woman can't do anything. She just asks the colleague to
lunch. Get here. The other woman in this episode looks really normal.
But these women there's a certain like shadow of insmithian quality to them. Am
I wrong? I don't know if I align with the frog thing, but
I certainly I think I know what you're talking about. They look a bit,
They're weird. They're just weird. They ask maybe maybe they're doing a
thing to be like, that's what regular women look like to him, and
that's why he likes the hands. Hmm Okay. They ask him if they
if he would like to join them for lunch, and he says no,
he's got some stuff he needs to liver. Look, just then I would
date a fraud lady like if it came like, I wouldn't have a problem
with that. We believe you. Another male cowalker appears and he's basically like,
don't even bother he's when you get him out, he's he's a major
bommer. Like he's a real window. Just leave him to it. Meanwhile,
goes into the sandwich shop and he he like takes the handout and like
fondles the top of the sandwich, which is in like a plastic wrapper,
and then he's like using the hand to poke at the top of it,
and then the hand the finger like goes through and then it comes out and
it's got like marinerosource and it's covered in blood and it just looks not good.
I hate as soon as he as soon as he put his mouth.
Yeah, yeah, I loved how he was looking at it for about six
seconds. He's like, oh, yeah, you know, I'm gonna fucking
get that sauce off them thinking He's like, you bold girl, and it's
like, oh my god, yeah, you know. Okay, So Kia's
walking around with this severed fucking hand in his soup pocket, and am I
the only one who's like, hmm, rotting flesh, stinky stinky dress,
his death his death preservation spray that he has in his fucking No, they's
just like a perfume. How long does it take for a body to start
to smell? Almost like very quick? Very Oh no, I've never seen
a dead body, Well you will, I have? And I know,
well, yeah, because that's a weird American thing. Think about how quickly
a regular body starts to smell that isn't dead several weeks. It is a
good point. Damn, that is a really good point. Jesus Christ,
John, John, you're some sort of thinker, you know, thinker,
You're clearly not. Smell of decomposition begins within twenty four hours. So this
thing's been like a week and a half for Eddie. Well, he does.
He does reference it in the fact that it's like he's like, I
gotta get rid of this one. Also, it's blacked out on Netflix.
What are we dealing with? Just the bone, John, I know,
you know, it's just zoomed in detail of what this looks like. Give
moments. It's his wallpaper. It's just the gore. Just the gore is
his phone wallpaper. He decides to get his sandwich, but they buy a
different one, which is so fucked up. Yeah, that was real ariana
Grande doughnut energy. It is like put in the fucking you know, some
poor person who's going to eat that because it's the last one left. Yeah,
it goes they take he takes the sandwich to the park and wants to
eat it there. It's got a nice, little beautiful view of Mario and
he's enjoying being there. And then behind them, he's sitting at a tree.
Behind them, she gets You appears, and separately to to what Kira
is doing, he meets up with and or like, can you lend us
one thousand yen? We deposited all the money from the last episode in the
bank and we just want to buy some. We're kind of bullying him there
though. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was great when she gets you
showed up. Were you guys like, oh, this guy is a fucking
regular cast member now, yes, yes, I think my exact quote was,
oh this fucking little guy again? Is that? Yeah, that's exactly
what I said at I don't know one in particular. I don't I don't
hate she gets you. I think no, no, you obviously meant to
do Doria from Dragon Ball. Yes, yes, at any point to Doria
could crash through the ceiling and be like you do it all right on?
Yeah he is like I'll put a picture of him into the chat, but
like he's a dragon ballsy character that is basically alien Shigechi. Oh my god,
it's even more than I thought yeah, it's crazy, but oh yeah
Jesus. So they're like, okay, well, they start inquiring about the
sandwiches because he's like reluctant to give them money, and he's like more invested
in eating the sandwich because this is his favorite kind of sandwich. And instead
he gives them the thousand yen and then starts writing down and the IOE you
which is today's date. He writes down June twenty fourth. That's crazy.
Oh oh that's spooky. That is coreot. He's like weird. He's like,
you know, yeah, and I just had a pause and I was
just like, holy shit, this is yeah, this is the thing that
John and Tam set up, you know, three years ago, and we
saw doing this podcast. Well played sirs. It took a while and like
sometimes Mere Town would have to pretend to be sick six, so we had
to delay the podcast. Yeah, yeah, a lot of work. Meanwhile,
a dog which I tried to steal some food from Kira earlier and was
shoot away by an intense stare reappears and decides to steal Shigachi's sandwich instead,
same bag as the one that Kira had, and he kind of like runs
away When Shagechi realizes his sandwich is gone, he kind of starts looking around
to see where it's where it is and sees that it's next to a tree
nearby, which of course is Kira's sandwich bag, which no longer has a
sandwich in it, it has the hand his girlfriend in there. Kira then
notices that the bag is gone and thus his girlfriend has gone with it,
and decides to follow Shagechi to ensure that he doesn't see the hand as he
he's worried that people could trace the fingertips on the ring he put on it
back to him and he's like he talks about how he's never left a clue
in fifteen years of being a serial killer, so he needs to like quickly
sort this out. I did love that he's like fifteen years scott free and
then I'm fucking done in by this little gremlin person likes so kid, Yeah,
I thought that was pretty good. Yeah. He follows Shigechi across town
until they until Joskia and appear again in front of Shagachi and they talk about
the sandwiches and that kind of stuff. Shigachi is like, okay, you
go get your launch and then we can meet in this prep room to have
coffee and tea there, because that's where the teachers often go down to get
coffee and tea and drinks and other stuff, so there's a free source of
it there. Initially, Joskia and turn him down and to go the separate
way ways. This is Takira a perfect opportunity to reclaim the bag, he
thinks, and so he follows. She gets you into the prep room and
he he tries to grab it while he's busy making well, she gets you
he's making some coffee. But then from behind, Okay and joe Ke have
had a change of heart and they decide to join them. Why doesn't he
grab it before he gets into the horse? That there's a lot of these
Now he had time to say he wanted to do. Yeah, it had
to be quick. Also, I think he probably realized that if he grabbed
the sandwich, he would have to spend more time getting into the horse and
that would potentially give him away. And then I think you would be like,
where is my sandwich? And that would be a problem. Yeah.
See, Jeff, there's this is the reason you're not a fifteen year veteran
serial killer exactly because I just don't have the timing for it. You don't
get it. You were trying that sandwich, you'd be in jail, right,
Yeah, it's it be caught instantaneously. Here's the thing about anime that
I learned is like that this is this is where the expertise comes in to
play. It's you have to allow yourself to like understand that the storytelling is
being done in like different sets of time time measurements. Yeah, totally.
And that comes from my get like, that's that's literally what that is.
Yeah, so I am an expert. No, thank you? Well all
right. So he's hiding under the horse and he's looking at through the gaps
that the three lads and his hand sephoned hand in a sandwich bag and he
sees that it is a coat hanger nearby and he unties it and metal one.
He decides to try and use that to fish it out. Does this
hand have a name? Uh? Yeah, it's like like Pamela Henderson,
Oh that's a good one. Wow, Lucy, that's impressive. Could you
do another Andrea like Andrea hands Christian Anderson's Oh there we go hands Christians Henderson
man, So what are you trying to and Henderson Anderson, It's the same
as my joke. I'm gonna keep thinking, like, oh, I can't
have dead air on a podcast. No, And I was gonna say,
Henderson is like the only thing that really Yeah, there it is your hands
and good, good, good. Doesn't the hand belong to Ramie? No,
she died fifty years ago. Yeah, Ramy is very dead, Okay,
because the way they talk about it, it seems like she was the
last person that was killed. But I guess not. So he's hiding and
he tries to get it and doesn't work, but it does arouse the suspicion
of Joske Kira, like, well, the boys are going back and forth
about their tea and their milk tea and all that kind of stuff. Kira
gets his little coat hanger and starts poking it out through the holes in the
horse. It was just helpfully under the one of the most demented visuals in
the just this coat hanger coming out from this horse, trying to hook this
sandwich bag as a serial killer heights for a group ofts like the writing is
just like, I mean, we watch it and we just accept it so
willingly we just lap it up like dogs at a drinking hole, and there's
just a hanger. There's a hanger in there. Well, it's writing to
be untwisted in a gym. I guess under the horse, maybe the gym
teacher is having some rough family times and he's yeah, Jim a lot.
You learn a lot about the creative liberties that go into storytelling when you watch
anime, because you're like, there's certain advantageous, once in a lifetime things
that must happen for the story to continue. But that's okay, listen,
Jet's okay. These men make these chapters in a week. These men and
women make these chapters in a single week. Sometimes they just got to go
with shit. I love it. It works. The attempt to grab it
fails, but it does peak Jo's curiosity, and when Joska goes to investigate,
she gets she turns around, is like, don't try and steal my
sandwiches because he thinks that he's still after the sandwich, which prompts jos Get
to back off. Then he goes back to going to make green tea for
Josk and black tea with milk for Yeah. And at that moment, Kira
like quickly lifts the horse up and grabs it and then get us back inside,
which again is arouses a suspicion of Joe's gay who turns around and sees
something weird is going on. Uh, it should get you. Meanwhile,
do they leave after this? No? No, no, they're still in
there. Okay, so yeah, yeah it should. Actu decides to threaten
to use harvest stand to look for it, look for the sandwich, which
means, you know, by he can he can send them out into the
entire room and track it down. But as he's about to do that,
the teachers start to come into the prep room, which means the others leg
it. And it's such a great little scene. I feel like, like
it's so stupid, but you are tense. You are like, oh ship,
yeah, oh it created that. That's the do these two episodes,
they are able to create that intensity that is kind of unmatched in the rest
of the season so far. Like they really do a great job, but
you care every every movement. As ridiculous as the situation is, Kira just
feels like even before he does anything, he just feels dangerous in a way
that I don't think any stund user in part four has totally agreed. I
you know, I also love that, like she got. She's like,
look, you know, people are after this sandwich today for some reason,
and I am going, I'm so fucking hungry. He's like, I'm going
to continue to leave it unattended as often and as frequently as possible, But
I think something else is going on here with these scamps that I'm half friends
with. The Opportunity also arises for Kira to escape with his hand sandwich.
Nice She got notices outside are carrying the bag from the same bakery and assumes
that it's his sandwich that went missing, and so he accuses a Kira of
stealing his sandwiches and tries to take it back using Harvest. She gets you
kind of very quickly learns that or gets a feeling that something is wrong here
and that Kira is more than just a run of the mill sandwich thief.
And as they're like struggling one of those regular sandwich thaves, not one of
your run of the mill one of these untrust worthy sandwich teas as as a
Harvest attempts to grab the sandwich bag back, it rips open and the hand
came comes out, lands on the floor in front of she gets you,
who now knows what's her steak? Here came stumbling out, great cliffhanger,
great spot to end it. Kira is then coming to terms with the idea
that he's likely going to be exposed, and he talks about how the thing
that he wants most is just to live a quiet Lifeira wants wants to live
a quiet life. Yeah, and the only way he can continue to have
that now is to kill Shagechi. And he summons his own stand killer queen.
And that's where that, to me is like one of the greatest villain
motivations, I think, just because it's like such a like that's the thing,
because a lot of these, you know, especially when you look at
something, so they're just so over the top and it's like I cannot,
I cannot like figure out why you are doing this, Like, oh,
just because I'm inherently evil, okay, but no, like his motivation being
that he just desperately doesn't want to get caught tense. The fact that he's
a psychopath is nearly secondary to the fact that he's like, I just want
to go to bed at eleven PM. It's it's big energy. Yes,
he's like, Look, I'm thirty three, I'm single. I go to
about eleven PM. I wake up at eight. Nothing wrong with that.
Stay in shape, I get eight. I get exactly eight hours of sleep
every night. Honestly, I get a minimum of nine. But I'm chronically
ill, so well, you know that's just one of normal life. Yes,
on weekends, I don't sit an alarm, and I go anywhere from
twelve to fourteen. It's great. Holy shit, if lucy, if I
sleep for eight hours, I wake up feeling like I have fucking superpowers.
I'm like, oh my god, Yeah, I will never know that life
m but I do. I do have two cats, and so it's nice
to wake up on a Sunday morning. Yes, two little dudes by your
side. Yeah, there's one little dude over there that it's pretty pretty good.
Yes, can't care. I just want us to live rightly. Pot
two begins with the standoff that the previous one ended on. Shagachi is the
Kira sent at a stand killer queen to eliminate Shigachi as quickly as you can.
But Shagachi is not going down with a fight. He summons harvest and
tries to use harvest to incapacitate Kira. I love the line here where shiget
She's like, why is there a hand in that bag? Why did you
take my sandwich? And why are you a middle aged man wandering around to
school? Middle aged? Yeah? Yeah, get used to it doesn't get
any better, Okay. Also, I cannot not hear the chorus of that
song every time we say Killer Queen brought up dynamite with a laser beam all
that, and I'm am going to say that Killer Queen is the coolest fucking
looking stand Jeff two for two my favorite stand of all time, Like without
a doubt, Like there's you know, the skull with like the pointy nose,
like what it looks like a dog. So is that where you're getting
the bowie thing from, because it could be like diamond dogs because on the
no, no, no, no, I just I misremember just the mistake
of like saying no, I think Kira's thing is is bowie. So like
yeah, and I would say even that that that anime doesn't quite capture the
just fucking freakiness of Killer Queen. You've see in the mind guy just dropped
a panel in there and you can kind of it just looks so insane,
but like it's kind of just sleek and beautiful. Also it's yeah crazy,
there's just tons of cool ship, just abundant cool ship abound here, like
no nose in Killer Queen, which I think is also like jarring and strange,
and just like the Batman kind of ears and I don't and just that
very detailed skull with horns is like fucking cool. It's fucking cool. It's
just fucking cool. Oh, there's I didn't even I didn't even go down.
What I know is a rabbit hole of figures of Killer Queen. Oh,
I'm sure. It's like I have a couple. You dirty dog,
you dirty dog? Can I can I show you that this is a very
old drawing. Can I show you guys my Killer Queen founder? Yes?
Oh my god, that's extra credit. We should frame a reference like John
is a very good That is not true. Didn't you work in like animation
before this? I did? I was, I cannot draw well, I
can love it. I love it. Oh my god, I didn't.
Oh you drew the whole crew. Oh no, this is maybe spoilery.
There's nothing in that that's no there's not spoilers there. Okay, one groups,
one group of dude. I don't know who they are, but okay
uh, Chigachi is trying to incapacitate him, and Kira based on what's happening,
deduces that because Shigachi has a stand and hangs around with Josu, they
also likely have a stand. At the same time, he reveals one hundred
yen coin, which Sigachi suspects is something weird is going on with it,
so he decides to send his little minions Harvest to grab it before Killer Queen
reveals what he is able to do with that one hundred yen coin. But
they steal the coin and bring it back at Chigachi, and sadly it's too
late because Killer Queen's ability is to make turn anything it touches into a bomb
and and yeah, and Kira can basically has the trigger always and can blow
it up whenever he wants. Is that like Gambit? Basically? I think,
yeah, yeah, I think he has a bit more control over it
than Gambit. But I think one thing that's also kind of freaking about the
scene is like Harvest is like digging into kiraping him. He's not reacting at
all, could not care less. Ye, the coin explode like guys a
freak. Yeah, he loves it. The coin explodes, and it does
it does some severe damage. Basically memes Shagachi like messages a little bit.
This explosion is fucking rough, like it looks, but like it looks,
I think it's very well done. I think it looks extremely painful. Yeah,
it doesn't go well for Shagachi the rest of the because like it like
explodes into his face and then wipples across his face and shoots out the other
like, oh, you don't see explosions like this a lot. No,
this is deeply upsetting. But you know, I don't feel bad because I
hate Shagachi. But also, child, are you saying that like this entire
sequence you didn't feel for Shagachi just a little bit. Well, then they
start to do something that's like really it's like a cheap you know, emotional
heart string. What's what's cheap emotional hearts? What? What do they do?
Because like Kirrs like, listen, you little ship, tell me where
these guys are. I'm gonna kill your parents, And he's like, don't
kill my parents? What is going on? Like because he's because they make
him to be such a piece of ship in the last a couple of episodes,
and then they're like, but don't forget fucking murderous assholes also have parents,
you know that, like and some of them. Did she gets you
a murderer? Did he get he was going to kill? He was going
to kill Joe, He's gonna kill I don't think he was going to kill
no one. I think that he just preferred to drop them off the side
of a building. That was a childhood I'll tell you. I'll tell you
what that was, Jeff. That was horseplay that went a little too far.
Okay, Tomato, Tomato, I guess I think that anyway, at
this moment, surprising display of putting two and two together and connecting dots quicker
than most people in this series you'd expect them to do. She gets you,
realizes that he says that you're the serial killer that everyone's been talking about
finding. Yeah, and then quickly draws a connection to Ramie, saying that
you kill Ramy, which is which catches Kira off. God, because now
he knows that other people are starting to figure out he's not a he's a
detective he's he's not. He's no slouch in the old brain departments. I
think I think he has that mild speech impediments, and I think that makes
people create snap judgments on him. Jeff, Butckler, how would you respond
to that? Yeah, it's his voice that really makes me think he's the
worst possible person. Well, there you have it, everyone, Wow.
Not his dippelable actions. Love to stay for a child, Yeah, fourteen
year old. Fourteen year old who is clearly already struggling, you know what,
Jeff, it's fun. In response to this, Kira decides that he's
gonna He starts bearing down on him to say he's going to kill him.
He needs to tell uh, Kira where Joske andsu ah otherwis going to kill
his parents? And then she gets he's like freaking out because he doesn't want
one anything bad to happen to his parents, and two he doesn't want to
be He doesn't want there to be a serial killer in the same town as
his parents. So he creates this kind of wall of little harvest minions that
block Kira's line of sight, and then when they dissipate, she get she's
gone. He's he's done a runner, and Kira goes off and tries to
find him, but it turns out he just hid in a bush nearby and
used the harvest to turn into the bush and make it. I do I
do have one minor question here. Why did he use harvest to create a
fake bush rather than just hiding behind a real bush? I maybe, yeah,
he I thought he was so brainy. No, it's fine. I
didn't want to think about that. I thought the bush idea was a good
one. Yeah, the bush idea looked cool. I think I think it's
because I think it's because he would have had to use harvest to carry him
across as well instead of running because he's hurt. So I think that he
likes Yeah, I think he used harvest because remember in the other episode where
they're like he's crowdsurfing on them and moving them and moving him across like the
road or whatever. I think he probably used harvest to move himself to that
area and then they just quickly turned into the bush around him, So it's
just creating a bunch of rustling noises. Yeah, And also he would have
to get up and run there himself, which have to see how easy it
is to ask a question and not be an asshole about it and then just
listen to your co hosts when they provide an answer. Yeah, you're right,
I have a lot to learn. So so she gets you decides he
needs to as quickly as possible get to Joe's care because Joe's g jo just
GE's stand could also help him, and he needs to tell Joe's and what's
going on. This is kind of sad because it's that moment where he's like,
I have to find my friends. It's the bit where the little harvests
are like pushing his legs up and that that kills me, like that that
Legit makes me sad. Yeah, there's some He gets into the school and
there's a few like fellow uh schoolmates that look at him and they're like,
dude, sucks. It looks weird. Let's leave him to it. But
he hobbles his way to the high school section of the school and sees that
the classroom where Joek and Oku are in and he like reaches out to open
the door, and the moment he touches the doorknob, Kira detonates a bomb.
That bomb that he planted on it, and she gets you explodes from
the inside out and even no trace of my fucking god. If that first
explosion was brutal, this second one is just more. It's worse, kind
of awesome, it's kind of horrifying. Yeah, it's And that's the probably
they wanted to make sure you know that there's no chance he's he's surviving that.
Yeah, but I think you get one fake exploding death, two you
really can't get away with. As he's dying, he calls out, cries
out to jos and Josica has like the tail end of it, and it
like sets him off, sets him off, So he started to realize something
weird has happened. And I think that because it's the moment where the one
last remaining Harvest member appears, the poor Harvest. What is your fucking problem?
Funny? It is funny that a little bug is going into the classroom
with like blood scoring out. If it's that and it's like, here's a
button, it's not Harvest, it's fun Listen, listen. A Rocky would
not have created the character Shagechi if he didn't want you to feel or didn't
want you to be marginally okay with him dying. Okay, that's it,
right. He's like, look, this guy's not great, and him dying
isn't going to be like, it's not like Kouchi die. You'd be really
upset. I'd be mortified. But his death is what's bringing them all together,
even if he was a piece of shit. No, it's bullshit because
we do this. This show is like, you know what, all these
people who like fucking uh, what's the girl's name, the the Bayoneta hair
lady, cocack you cocko, you cocko? Okay, Lucie, I can't.
I'm sorry I didn't pronounce it to your standards. No, it's just
the fat that you didn't know what I think was you just thought making one
up. I got some of the cas okay. Also, uh, she
literally tortures and tries to kill Koichi. You were like, you guys come
back and you're like, oh, this is fine, this is fine.
You're allowed to amongst us, has not been infatuated with someone me, me,
not someone who's tried to kill me. Okay, and that whole story,
like she had a redemption arc like not four episodes later, they're like,
you know what, you murder a psychopath, You've done your time.
And what murder ever did? Like, I just feel like we're throwing the
word murder around with Sam. Back me up, Tam, you've been quiet,
Back me up. Aren't these people getting redeemed a little too conveniently and
a little too a little too quickly. No, bud, No, That's
all you have to say, is no. I think he makes a compelling
point. Jeff, Yeah, this sucks. I'm going on record to say
this site. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna defend mocking a child dying.
What but she she tried to kill Koechie see that and watched that episode?
She doesn't, Oh, she means when she was trying to teutor him.
I remember that bit, all right, Yeah, you're right. It was
all she was all she was trying to teach him. Yeah, I'm my
mistake. I saw listen. But no worry. That's all I've ever wanted
you to say. I get it. Sometimes we just don't watch as closely
as we should be and we make mistakes. And it's cool. No one's
mad at you. You're among friends. This is great. I'm glad you're
taking this stuff. I'm just made to feel crazy. This is a podcast
about helping you grow through anime. And I think it's a podcast about making
me. I think it's a podcast about wishing me and finding out what the
what the true limits of my of my like nerve is pushing me to let's
see how far we can push Jeff back or before it breaks, before I
blow a gasket for you pinch your nerves too late. So the the button
taken from Kia's jacket is delivered to Jos by the last remaining member of Harvest
before it explodes, and in a very tragic scene, tragic emotional scene,
and the point out that that is a very strange way for a stand to
dissipate or like deactivate or disappear. Usually it's not like that. This is
suspicious. And then we cut to Raimi, the ghost girl in that one
street of Morio, and she is looking up at the sky and seeing Shigechi's
ghost still like being disintegrated by a bomb. He's like screaming in agony as
he's descending up into the sky, and at that moment she realizes that Kira
has killed someone else for all all defind Shagetchi. Here, I am struck
by the thought that it would be really funny to get to the end of
Diamond Is Unbreakable and they overcome whatever big bad and all the characters are standing
there, and then it's Shagechi who forms in the clouds and he's like,
bye, guys, but he's brought them all together. Yeah, Josk organizes
a meeting and he brings to oksu it's weird deformed frog dad. Did you
guys? Were you guys? Like, oh, yeah, he's just amazing
that he went out like no one else. And then all of a sudden,
the baby else. Oh my god, the baby, the fucking baby.
Can we talk about that? Horrifying? What on earth? Why they
put lipstick on the baby? Yeah? Yeah, it had to be read.
Joe is also there. Joseph is there, She's got the KOs There
has Amada, Tonio, Aya, and Rohan, basically every character they've met
up until this point. Despite having no the whole crew, despite having no
context or frame of reference for Okoyasu's dad, no one really says anything.
It's this weird little guy that everyone just kind of cool with being there frog
man exactly. Yeah, Like he just where was he this whole time?
Hanging out in the house An attic. Yeah, in the attic eating fish
like raw fish. I feel like they're all they're all told about what's going
on, specifically that there's a killer and he's knocking around queen and yeah,
exactly, and he's likely a stand user. Joe Taro decides that he's gonna
try and track down this killer using the button that was given to them by
Harvest, and they're walking away as what is it? What is it?
Jeff nothing? Nothing. I I'm just I feel bad for the old man,
is what I'll say. I do feel bad for the old man.
Okay, we'll get there. Okay. Uh. They're walking away, and
this one has one of those moments where josk like walks past brushes shoulders with
Kira as he's walking by, and Kira notices him, but Joek doesn't realize,
no, that's Kira because he doesn't know that's the person they're looking for
a few days past. And then Koichi runs into Joe Taro and is like,
I'm gonna walk with you this chat and he's talking about how hard it
is to strike a conversation up with Jotro because Joe row doesn't really speak much,
but takes in this one a bit where where he's like, what are
you doing? And Joejo is like, I am walking over here, Yeah,
going in that direction, and then they go. They eventually come to
a shoe store that has a side hustle of tailoring, and Joe Too says
that he's been checking every tailor, but he didn't check any stores that do
tailoring on the in addition to other things. So they go inside and the
owner of the store is there chilling drinking coffee. They give him the button
and they're like, do you do you remember anyone who you might have dealt
with that has this button, and he's like, oh, yeah, there's
actually a That button is from the jacket I just repaired behind. And he
goes up and he wants to get the name the labels so you can tell
them who's who it belongs to. And as he's about to read the name
out, he has his hand blown off. Yeah it's fucking arly horrible.
I didn't like that. Yeah. This guy's like real cute, like a
real cute old man, you know, just happy to have a little business.
Yeah, just a friendly, friendly face to talk with, you know.
Turns going to this guy turns out here has been hiding in the back
and set it up so there's a bomb available in case you needed to get
rid of someone, specifically the tailor. So they're now freaking out and Koch
is like trying to walk towards what's going on, and Joe was like,
you gotta stop, you gotta pull back. He's got like a weird little
it's like a miniature tank like thing. Okay, a weird toy that seems
to be So this thing is called sheer heart attack is it's like a weird
little thing that appears on his shoulder that only stand users can see unless you're
looking at the tracks that it's making, and it's primed to blow up.
It kind of goes into the store owner's mouth. I think it is on
his mouth. And meanwhile in the background, Kira is like reaching out from
behind the door trying to grab the the jacket and he's like shaking it as
well, almost to try and bait Joe, Torrow and Koachure to come towards
him. I think that's a really spooky shot. It's awesome. This embodied
arm is just shaking. It's crazy. This whole scene is is like very
brutal for sure, but it's it's really well done. This is when Yo
too pulls Koichi away and as he does so, the bomb explodes, and
that brings to a close episode Part two of Yoshikaga Kira Wants to Live Quietly.
So I was, I was, it was awesome. These two are
are super excellent, awesome, very cool. I'd love every second. It's
all paying off. It's all been worth it, all of the weirdness and
and maybe one or two like misses in this season, but overall, extremely
strong, extremely strong. I thought this was going to have more of like
a tie up because it was a two parter, so I was actually pleasantly
surprised to see that the Kira arc is not over by any stretch, and
that we have lots to address, lots to attend to. And I will
admit the death of Shagechi, as meaningless and stupid as it was, it
has brought the town together. If it brings the town together, is there
anyone left in this town as well? Because it is like this tiny little
town. Is it sort of advertised to be at the top of the season
here, but no, it's And I love like spooky ghost Alley girl,
who like was like, yeah, this, Like I liked how they brought
her back in and how it was sort of like, you know, I
think I think that actually came together in a really strong narrative kind of way.
Like I was actually like, oh, wow, that's really dope.
How they had they brought her back and explained you know, her sort of
existing in this soul occupying limbo space. I thought that was dope. Yeah,
I'm I'm into it. I Mario. The population of fifty eight and
thirteen, I guess, oh, that's not a small town. It's not
a small town. Not a huge town, but not a small town.
So and they're all stand users, well, well a lot of a lot
of them. Anecdotally, the sample size that we've taken, it's like ninety
five percent. So I love this pair of episodes, Like these are two
of the most important episodes in the whole thing. And like that bit where
they all meet up and talk about the serial killer and then like cool Joe's
case walking across the street and he just fucking passes Kira. That's what's scary
about Pierre Kira, Like that's his fucking superpower, that he's just just a
normal dude in a lot of ways, like he just doesn't stand out,
and he's just in plain sight, and it's so fucking weird. I think
like it's interesting because I do feel like, you know, there's maybe a
feeling that, like you were saying at the start of the episode, Jeff
Howe, Araki just kinda he just wants to get serious, right, and
he's like, Okay, let's do this. But I also think there's something
to be said for the idea that, like, for like twenty episodes or
twenty five episodes, whatever it's been, we've just been building up Morio as
this weird town and it has a lot of weird people in it, but
has a lot of cool stuff as well. You got the weird ghost girl
in the alley, you got Saint Gentlemen's Bread, you have the pizzeria,
you have just like all these weird like landmarks and stuff, and it's kind
of like a fun community just to think about and to hang out in.
And now you have this just horrifying existential threat that has just lodged itself inside
it. And he's the complete opposite of Cars. He's the complete opposite of
Dio. He doesn't want to take over the world, He has no grand
ambition. He just wants to live his murderous, terrifying life as freely and
quietly as he can. And I just think it's such a brilliant direction for
the new bad guy to go. Yep, yeah, I love it.
I love it fantastic. Well, we'll find out where this direction leads us
to in the next episode of Jeff Jeffs Bizarre Adventure. John, Where can
