16
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:18.239
<v Speaker 3>Couldn't I think it's three.

<v Speaker 2>Three years, three seams, three seams.

18
00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:22.040

<v Speaker 1>of anime easy.

25
00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:38.120
<v Speaker 3>So it's it's takes it's taken three or four years

26
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:40.840
<v Speaker 3>to get Jeff up to the point where we feel

27
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:42.640
<v Speaker 3>feel like he's ready.

28
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:45.879

00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:49.519
<v Speaker 1>Cowboy Bebop? Those are the and that's the ones that. Yeah,

30
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:51.480

31
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:57.000
<v Speaker 1>an almost similar thematic or mood wise, tone wise similar vibe.

32
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:00.120

65
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:42.319
<v Speaker 5>don't know jack shit about Berserk. No idea like I

66
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:45.080
<v Speaker 5>was assuming it's like a modern day story and the

67
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:48.000
<v Speaker 5>first inclinations like, no, this is like a castle thing

68
00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:50.120
<v Speaker 5>like I had no idea.

69
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:52.280
<v Speaker 2>My favorite era, the era the castle.

70
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:56.240
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, like a medieval kind of like adjacent horses and shit.

71
00:03:56.840 --> 00:03:59.400
<v Speaker 5>I had no idea what to expect going in. All

72
00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:02.520
<v Speaker 5>I knew was that it's all I All I know

73
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:05.280
<v Speaker 5>I will say is that at some point I'm going

74
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:10.520
<v Speaker 5>to have to face like numerous deeply disturbing themes and

75
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:13.520
<v Speaker 5>depictions of violence, is what I'm sort.

76
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:15.879
<v Speaker 3>Of like, remember any of any of that. I don't.

77
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:19.720
<v Speaker 5>I feel like I mean like, if the gore and

78
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:22.600
<v Speaker 5>the blood is what it is in these first two episodes,

79
00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:27.759
<v Speaker 5>I'm gonna be fine because it's very like tastefully cut.

80
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:29.040
<v Speaker 2>Around, you know what I mean.

81
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:32.319

82
00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:35.519
<v Speaker 3>It never gets worse than that for real.

83
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:38.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's that's pretty much I can. Oh, I could

84
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:40.959
<v Speaker 2>watch this. I could watch this on a plane. This

85
00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:41.560
<v Speaker 2>is fine.

86
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:46.600
<v Speaker 3>This is I'm call the whole family in and just enjoy.

87
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:48.920
<v Speaker 2>We gonna, we're gonna, We're gonna push back on that

88
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:49.399
<v Speaker 2>a little bit.

89
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:51.800
<v Speaker 5>I don't think I'm gonna bring in Dibbs and everyone

90
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:54.079
<v Speaker 5>to watch Berserk the anime.

91
00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:55.600
<v Speaker 7>Uh.

92
00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:57.040
<v Speaker 3>I wouldn't.

93
00:04:57.439 --> 00:04:58.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't.

94
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:02.160
<v Speaker 4>Also I wouldn't, Stacy, maybe, but you would.

95
00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:06.120
<v Speaker 5>You know what, Sometimes you got to let things go.

96
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:11.079
<v Speaker 5>And I think for my wife, my wife, and as

97
00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:15.040
<v Speaker 5>far as the anime inclusion is concerned, folks.

98
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:17.160
<v Speaker 2>I think that I think that ship is sailed. I

99
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:18.519
<v Speaker 2>don't think it took me.

100
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:21.399
<v Speaker 3>It took me ten years before I got my wife

101
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:22.319
<v Speaker 3>into an anime.

102
00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:24.560
<v Speaker 5>Okay, so I'm about a third of the way through

103
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:27.879
<v Speaker 5>that expedition, so we'll see, all right.

104
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:30.600
<v Speaker 4>I'm just excited for you, Jeff.

105
00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:33.639
<v Speaker 2>So you've seen this, Lucy, you've seen all of.

106
00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:35.600
<v Speaker 4>What I've read it.

107
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:36.879
<v Speaker 2>I haven't.

108
00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:40.319
<v Speaker 3>And Lucy, me and Lucy have talked about berserk tattoos.

109
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:43.360
<v Speaker 4>So you have a tattoo you right?

110
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:45.800
<v Speaker 3>I forgot, Yeah, I have one on my leg.

111
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:49.000
<v Speaker 5>You read the book adaptation of the anime?

112
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:51.720
<v Speaker 4>No no, no, no, no.

113
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:55.199
<v Speaker 3>The other way around, Jeff. So they wait, I see,

114
00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:57.439
<v Speaker 3>I see a little smirk because he.

115
00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:01.199
<v Speaker 2>Even I knew that. Come on, I love the anime

116
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:02.240
<v Speaker 2>expert around.

117
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:06.040
<v Speaker 4>The for for everyone listening to all the friends, fans

118
00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:09.680
<v Speaker 4>and family at home. Whenever Jeff is doing like a

119
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:12.600
<v Speaker 4>little bit and he gets this smirk. He also grabs

120
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:15.480
<v Speaker 4>his microphone and pulls it. And I've brought this up, wed,

121
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:18.319
<v Speaker 4>he like pulls it into his mouth like this, he

122
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:19.519
<v Speaker 4>like braces.

123
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:20.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to. Yeah.

124
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:24.319
<v Speaker 3>One of the reasons. One of the reasons I think people,

125
00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:26.240
<v Speaker 3>and I've said this before, I think people think we're

126
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:28.360
<v Speaker 3>being meaner to Jeff than we are is they can't

127
00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:31.240
<v Speaker 3>see the look of utter delight on his face whenever

128
00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:32.319
<v Speaker 3>we take the piss out of them.

129
00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:39.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I love it. I can't get enough of it.

130
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:41.480
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Well, now that's not quite where I was going,

131
00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:43.839

<v Speaker 3>So, Jeff, how do you feel about a man with

221
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:36.159
<v Speaker 3>no skin and you have to click on his mouth

222
00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:37.799
<v Speaker 3>to open it and when you do, it goes.

223

236
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:11.720
<v Speaker 3>ten years podcast and experience is how I'm able to

239
00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:27.480
<v Speaker 3>since I've watched this version of Berserk, and I was

240
00:12:27.559 --> 00:12:29.279
<v Speaker 3>really sitting there for a lot of First of all,

<v Speaker 3>I love the music, I love that animate sure of

243
00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:35.679
<v Speaker 3>the backgrounds. I sat there for a lot of it

244
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:39.200
<v Speaker 3>being like, I have no idea what Jeff is going

245
00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:39.840
<v Speaker 3>to make of this?

246
00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:46.720
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, yeah, yeah, I figured the fucking evil villain like

247
00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:52.120
<v Speaker 8>kind of chuckle like that was a real like oh you, oh,

248
00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:55.960
<v Speaker 8>Power Rangers, You've fallen directly into my trap.

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's gonna work Berserk like tattoo and be like

250
00:12:59.840 --> 00:13:01.000

251
00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:05.039
<v Speaker 5>No, yeah, I mean I don't want to. Well, let's

252
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:06.519
<v Speaker 5>let's start. I mean, how do you want to how

253
00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:07.360
<v Speaker 5>do you want to approach this?

254
00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:07.600
<v Speaker 2>Then?

255
00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:09.799
<v Speaker 3>Okay, I want to just I want to just take

256
00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:10.559
<v Speaker 3>some temp take.

257
00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:11.720
<v Speaker 2>The general feelings.

258
00:13:12.039 --> 00:13:17.840
<v Speaker 5>Sure, sure, you know, I definitely did you know again,

259
00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:22.000
<v Speaker 5>not know what to expect going into it. I was

260
00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:27.639
<v Speaker 5>immediately sort of reminded of of like nineties era animation,

261
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:30.480
<v Speaker 5>I think because it reminded me a little bit of

262
00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:36.960
<v Speaker 5>like well also it reminded me of like animation a

263
00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:41.360
<v Speaker 5>bit of like the the crudeness of it a little bit,

264
00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:43.639
<v Speaker 5>not a not in a bad I don't mean that

265
00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:46.879
<v Speaker 5>as like a negative kind of way, but the similar

266
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:49.759
<v Speaker 5>style of like I remember what like Ninja Turtles, those

267
00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:52.279
<v Speaker 5>original Ninja Turtles cartoons look.

268
00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:52.960
<v Speaker 2>Like that animation.

269
00:13:53.480 --> 00:13:57.000
<v Speaker 3>This animation something that has been drawn on paper by

270
00:13:57.039 --> 00:14:00.279
<v Speaker 3>actual humans. Yeah, and a lot of it's analog.

271
00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:03.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, right from an arrow and animation was much more

272
00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:06.480
<v Speaker 1>laborious as a work process and undertake like.

273
00:14:06.440 --> 00:14:08.799
<v Speaker 3>This, This is definitely the oldest piece of animal No.

274
00:14:08.919 --> 00:14:11.480
<v Speaker 2>Cowboy Bebop was very similarly.

275
00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:14.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but Kenboy Beabup is a is a freak miracle

276
00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:16.000
<v Speaker 3>developed by Yeah freaks.

277
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:19.240
<v Speaker 5>Cowboy Bebop is like a sort of like out of

278
00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:21.960
<v Speaker 5>its timeline in a way because of the quality there.

279
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:24.919
<v Speaker 3>Berserk feels like something from nineteen ninety seven.

280
00:14:25.039 --> 00:14:25.360
<v Speaker 2>It does.

281
00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:28.960
<v Speaker 5>It feels thirty years old, right, so you know I'm

282
00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:32.399
<v Speaker 5>noticing that right away, Like, uh yeah, I mean I

283
00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:35.360
<v Speaker 5>I I guess I for me, these first two episodes

284
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:38.159
<v Speaker 5>was really about like understanding, like, Okay, what are we

285
00:14:38.200 --> 00:14:40.879
<v Speaker 5>going to be doing here? Like what is all this?

286
00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:46.720
<v Speaker 5>And you know what I gathered is like, uh, these

287
00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:50.360
<v Speaker 5>two people, this this Griffith person and uh, you know

288
00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:52.480
<v Speaker 5>mister Berserk, I don't.

289
00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:55.080
<v Speaker 3>Know, mister.

290
00:14:56.000 --> 00:15:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Actually Stephen Berser.

291
00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:04.120
<v Speaker 5>Uh you know, they have a shattered past. Apparently maybe

292
00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:06.279
<v Speaker 5>they were allies at one point. We're going to find out,

293
00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:09.120
<v Speaker 5>and uh one of them maybe turns into a big

294
00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:14.000
<v Speaker 5>reptilian monster. I don't know, but I'm learning a lot

295
00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:16.759
<v Speaker 5>of stuff's getting thrown at me right at the front,

296
00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:19.399
<v Speaker 5>and uh, you know, there's a big kind of battle

297
00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:22.840
<v Speaker 5>and then we go back, I guess to a flashback story,

298
00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:26.000
<v Speaker 5>which I'm not sure is that what this whole season

299
00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:27.840
<v Speaker 5>is gonna be is like how did we get here?

300
00:15:27.960 --> 00:15:30.519
<v Speaker 2>Kind of thing? But yeah, yeah.

301
00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:37.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's unlike other anime adaptations of manga, well

302
00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:43.399
<v Speaker 1>a lot of them, this is like the the chronology

303
00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:45.679
<v Speaker 1>of the way it tells a story versus how it's

304
00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:47.200
<v Speaker 1>read is very very different.

305
00:15:47.720 --> 00:15:48.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay, it's interesting.

306
00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:51.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so in the manga when you open it up,

307
00:15:51.159 --> 00:15:54.200
<v Speaker 1>you get a very different kind of introduction to the world.

308
00:15:53.919 --> 00:15:59.320
<v Speaker 3>Of the manga is guts fucking a demon woman and

309
00:15:59.320 --> 00:16:00.600
<v Speaker 3>then shooting her with the cannon.

310
00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:04.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, so when you say it's a nineties era,

311
00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:07.759
<v Speaker 1>there's things that they just did not touch with a

312
00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:10.840
<v Speaker 1>barge pole in this some of it is like toned

313
00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:13.480
<v Speaker 1>down a bit, but like Berzerk, the manga.

314
00:16:13.320 --> 00:16:17.200
<v Speaker 2>Is very very very very adult oriented.

315
00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:19.799
<v Speaker 5>I'm getting a watered down version.

316
00:16:20.360 --> 00:16:23.360
<v Speaker 3>You're getting like and that's more things that really shocked

317
00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:26.720
<v Speaker 3>me about this this adaptation, because you know, it has

318
00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:29.960
<v Speaker 3>been so long since I watched it, Like we are

319
00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:35.519
<v Speaker 3>like that first episode is fourteen chapters compressed down into

320
00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:39.360
<v Speaker 3>one episode. Yeah, it's and like the amount of story

321
00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:41.600
<v Speaker 3>that's not there, the amount of shit they really.

322
00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:47.360
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, as someone like as I was watching, I was

323
00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:49.679
<v Speaker 7>just like, it's been a few years since I read it,

324
00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:54.879
<v Speaker 7>and I was, shit, we are moving through this.

325
00:16:55.440 --> 00:16:57.279
<v Speaker 3>When we got to the second episode and we'd hit

326
00:16:57.320 --> 00:16:59.440
<v Speaker 3>the Golden Age, I was like, oh my god.

327
00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

328
00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:03.039
<v Speaker 4>When gold Land started, I was like what, because I mean,

329
00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:06.559
<v Speaker 4>the first is it the first kind of book or

330
00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:10.039
<v Speaker 4>whatever of a collection of the first issue. I forget

331
00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:12.279
<v Speaker 4>which one it is, but it's like mirror really didn't

332
00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:15.920
<v Speaker 4>kind of know what he was, like the over arching story.

333
00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:18.000
<v Speaker 4>And then it's like Golden Age when it really starts

334
00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:21.559
<v Speaker 4>kind of coming together, Like it feels like the early

335
00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:25.440
<v Speaker 4>issues of Berzik are very much more of his own thing,

336
00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:27.640
<v Speaker 4>like finding his footing. It's more of a tonal piece,

337
00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:30.039
<v Speaker 4>and this is what I remember. I could be completely wrong.

338
00:17:31.240 --> 00:17:33.920
<v Speaker 4>And then when you start into getting into Golden Age,

339
00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:40.039
<v Speaker 4>and yeah, it's, oh, Jeff, I really want you to

340
00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:42.200
<v Speaker 4>read it, like I don't want to kind of imprint

341
00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:44.799
<v Speaker 4>on you how important and how good this is.

342
00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:48.039
<v Speaker 1>But like, yeah, of all the things that of all

343
00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:50.039
<v Speaker 1>the stuff that we've seen, this is the one where

344
00:17:50.079 --> 00:17:52.359
<v Speaker 1>I think if you went back and started reading it,

345
00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:53.000
<v Speaker 1>you'd have.

346
00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:56.839
<v Speaker 2>A much deeper appreciation for what it does and what

347
00:17:56.839 --> 00:17:58.960
<v Speaker 2>do we do with your friends? Like what did we

348
00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:01.240
<v Speaker 2>screw up? So what we don't?

349
00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:03.880
<v Speaker 3>What I would say is that I think people can

350
00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:07.079
<v Speaker 3>people can enter media in a lot of different ways.

351
00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:09.880
<v Speaker 3>And like my first introduction of Berserk wasn't even the

352
00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:13.559
<v Speaker 3>nineteen nineties anime. It was the films there. They basically

353
00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:16.319
<v Speaker 3>remade this part of the story into three films later on,

354
00:18:16.519 --> 00:18:18.799
<v Speaker 3>which I really like. But they're also not like an

355
00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:22.039
<v Speaker 3>ideal entry into berserk. And in terms of like showing

356
00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:24.240
<v Speaker 3>you what berserk is and giving you the broad strokes

357
00:18:24.240 --> 00:18:25.920
<v Speaker 3>of how it's cool, there's a lot of people who

358
00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:28.680
<v Speaker 3>are unwilling to pick up a four hundred chapter Mangah,

359
00:18:28.759 --> 00:18:32.519
<v Speaker 3>I get why, and this anime, I do think, is

360
00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:34.480
<v Speaker 3>going to give you the broad strokes of what's cool

361
00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:36.480
<v Speaker 3>about it chip and like there's a lot it does

362
00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:42.240
<v Speaker 3>really well. The music in this anime fucking unbelievable, so good, but.

363
00:18:43.160 --> 00:18:45.599
<v Speaker 1>So also a really good like tone and that kind

364
00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:47.640
<v Speaker 1>of stuff. So yeah, it's a it's a case of

365
00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:49.839
<v Speaker 1>if you finished, if we finished this, and you're like,

366
00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:52.000
<v Speaker 1>I kind of enjoyed that, I want to what else

367
00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:54.480
<v Speaker 1>is going on there? I would recommend starting it over

368
00:18:54.799 --> 00:18:57.799
<v Speaker 1>and reading it because it's also you'll get the get

369
00:18:57.799 --> 00:19:01.000
<v Speaker 1>the kind of story in a different timeline as well.

370
00:19:01.039 --> 00:19:04.319
<v Speaker 1>But this is perfect. This was my first berserk thing

371
00:19:04.359 --> 00:19:07.839
<v Speaker 1>I experienced, was this anime this specific? And then I

372
00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:08.279
<v Speaker 1>went but.

373
00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:10.559
<v Speaker 3>Like, it's interesting as well, because in a lot of

374
00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:14.559
<v Speaker 3>ways I would argue that like even the manga itself

375
00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:19.000
<v Speaker 3>isn't a great introduction into Berserk because those first fourteen

376
00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:24.640
<v Speaker 3>chapters mirror Kintara Muro is like twenty three years old

377
00:19:24.799 --> 00:19:28.480
<v Speaker 3>and he started writing this, and those first fourteen chapters, like,

378
00:19:28.519 --> 00:19:30.160
<v Speaker 3>there's a lot of good shit in them, and like

379
00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:33.279
<v Speaker 3>I love them, but they do feel like they're written

380
00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:36.240
<v Speaker 3>by an angry twenty three year old. Yeah, and like,

381
00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:37.920
<v Speaker 3>you know, there's a lot of there's a lot of

382
00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:40.279
<v Speaker 3>interviews where he talks about like, you know, he was

383
00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:42.839
<v Speaker 3>just angry at that age. He was like passionate, and

384
00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:45.880
<v Speaker 3>so he he wanted to write these scenes of you know,

385
00:19:46.160 --> 00:19:48.400
<v Speaker 3>Gots fucking a demon lady and then shooting her in

386
00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:50.599
<v Speaker 3>the head. You know, he wanted to He loved the

387
00:19:50.640 --> 00:19:54.279
<v Speaker 3>power fantasy of being this big muscly night with this

388
00:19:54.480 --> 00:19:57.039
<v Speaker 3>massive sword that's too big to be possible and all

389
00:19:57.079 --> 00:19:59.200
<v Speaker 3>this kind of stuff. And I think one of the

390
00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:04.119
<v Speaker 3>things that is so incredible about Berserk is how it

391
00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:08.839
<v Speaker 3>eventually wraps back around and contextualizes what we're watching now

392
00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:12.440
<v Speaker 3>in this really like beautiful and honestly like pretty profound way.

393
00:20:13.599 --> 00:20:14.240
<v Speaker 2>But we're a.

394
00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:17.920
<v Speaker 3>Long way from that, you know, And so Jeff, if

395
00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:20.400
<v Speaker 3>you're watching this and you're kind of like, I'm not

396
00:20:20.440 --> 00:20:23.480
<v Speaker 3>sure about this one. Guys. I get, I get, I

397
00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:26.799
<v Speaker 3>would get that, you know, Like, I think Berserk takes

398
00:20:26.839 --> 00:20:29.720
<v Speaker 3>its time, but it's taking its time because, like Mura

399
00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:33.480
<v Speaker 3>as an artist is developing, he was writing this basically

400
00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:36.319
<v Speaker 3>his whole adult life. His entire adult life, he was

401
00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:39.559
<v Speaker 3>writing this story, and during that time he learned how

402
00:20:39.559 --> 00:20:41.200
<v Speaker 3>to draw, how to become one of the most incredible

403
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:42.759
<v Speaker 3>artists in the world. He became one of the best

404
00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:44.359
<v Speaker 3>writers in the world, one of the best like people

405
00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:46.119
<v Speaker 3>in terms of narrative and how to lay out a

406
00:20:46.160 --> 00:20:49.440
<v Speaker 3>page and all this kind of stuff. And the thing

407
00:20:49.480 --> 00:20:51.960
<v Speaker 3>that I think is so special about Berserk is it

408
00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:54.920
<v Speaker 3>is basically a one to one with the person who

409
00:20:54.920 --> 00:20:57.799
<v Speaker 3>wrote it. Like you are literally watching it develop as

410
00:20:57.799 --> 00:20:59.839
<v Speaker 3>a story for the entirety of its run, which ended

411
00:20:59.880 --> 00:21:04.359
<v Speaker 3>up being the entirety of Mirror's life. And so when

412
00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:07.279
<v Speaker 3>we get here and it's Goods cutting a bunch of

413
00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:10.240
<v Speaker 3>demons in half with his sword, you don't have the

414
00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:11.720
<v Speaker 3>perspective yet to see any of that.

415
00:21:13.400 --> 00:21:15.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, interesting is a very.

416
00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:19.240
<v Speaker 4>I think you should make video essays on YEA about

417
00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:21.039
<v Speaker 4>things that you like, because I think you're really good

418
00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:23.599
<v Speaker 4>at talking about things that you like and why they're good.

419
00:21:25.440 --> 00:21:28.319
<v Speaker 3>This podcasting thing, Lucy. But I'll take that into their advice.

420
00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:31.319
<v Speaker 2>Just try it, give it a go, you know.

421
00:21:31.480 --> 00:21:33.759
<v Speaker 1>There is Yeah, there's a there's a bunch of videos

422
00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:35.799
<v Speaker 1>we'll be able to send you afterwards as well, which

423
00:21:35.839 --> 00:21:40.359
<v Speaker 1>will really point to context like what mirrors where is that?

424
00:21:40.440 --> 00:21:43.039
<v Speaker 2>And his career and that kind of stuff that'll be helpful.

425
00:21:43.640 --> 00:21:46.640
<v Speaker 2>All right, But yeah, so.

426
00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:53.559
<v Speaker 3>Man, Okay, we start this first episode and it begins

427
00:21:53.799 --> 00:21:58.559
<v Speaker 3>with a quote, in this world is the destiny? It

428
00:21:58.599 --> 00:22:00.519
<v Speaker 3>is the destiny of Is it the destiny of mankind

429
00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:05.880
<v Speaker 3>to be controlled by some transcendental entity or law? Is

430
00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:09.480
<v Speaker 3>it like, is that like the hand of God hovering above?

431
00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:13.319
<v Speaker 3>At least it is that man has sorry, my dyslexi

432
00:22:13.359 --> 00:22:15.599
<v Speaker 3>is going crazy today. At least it is true that

433
00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:19.359
<v Speaker 3>man has no control even over his own will. And

434
00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:21.400
<v Speaker 3>I think I'm just going to throw it off to Jeff,

435
00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:23.680
<v Speaker 3>who's just going to do about four minutes on that

436
00:22:23.720 --> 00:22:24.359
<v Speaker 3>go for Jeff.

437
00:22:25.240 --> 00:22:29.240
<v Speaker 5>I just think it's like sort of inherently conflicting what

438
00:22:29.400 --> 00:22:35.519
<v Speaker 5>this couple of sentences is proposing. There's a certain kind

439
00:22:35.559 --> 00:22:42.440
<v Speaker 5>of like certainty about the fact that the quote is

440
00:22:42.519 --> 00:22:46.039
<v Speaker 5>questioning free will, and then it's like, at least we

441
00:22:46.160 --> 00:22:49.039
<v Speaker 5>know it's not true, which I think is sort of

442
00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:53.160
<v Speaker 5>a bit of a contradictory statement there a little bit.

443
00:22:53.599 --> 00:22:57.559
<v Speaker 5>I don't okay, I will say that like you could you?

444
00:22:58.119 --> 00:22:59.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, just keep going.

445
00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:06.359
<v Speaker 5>It says the first sentence is a question in this

446
00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:10.680
<v Speaker 5>world is the destiny of mankind controlled by some transcendental

447
00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:15.240
<v Speaker 5>entity or law? Okay, Jeff's could we pause question mark?

448
00:23:16.319 --> 00:23:20.640
<v Speaker 5>Could you just deep dive on that first part. It's asking,

449
00:23:21.200 --> 00:23:25.480
<v Speaker 5>is the destiny of man controlled by like a god

450
00:23:25.839 --> 00:23:27.319
<v Speaker 5>or some sort of governing force?

451
00:23:27.359 --> 00:23:30.160
<v Speaker 3>Sorry, Jeff, I didn't explain that, right. Could you go

452
00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:31.599
<v Speaker 3>deeper on that statement?

453
00:23:31.839 --> 00:23:33.359
<v Speaker 2>How do you I'm going to go deeper? What do

454
00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:34.640
<v Speaker 2>you mean, Jeff?

455
00:23:34.680 --> 00:23:38.000
<v Speaker 3>I am These are all layups, puddy, and we're trying

456
00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:39.200
<v Speaker 3>to make a podcast here.

457
00:23:39.839 --> 00:23:41.799
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, come on, what else am I supposed to say?

458
00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:46.160
<v Speaker 5>It's it's it's it's not a very profound question. Okay, Jeff,

459
00:23:46.759 --> 00:23:49.880
<v Speaker 5>I'm gonna say something harsh, and that is, if you

460
00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:52.519
<v Speaker 5>are not engaged, you shouldn't be showing up to these podcasts.

461
00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:58.279
<v Speaker 5>That's not This show is not about that quote. This

462
00:23:58.400 --> 00:24:01.119
<v Speaker 5>show is like or it's not about it yet. I'm

463
00:24:01.119 --> 00:24:03.640
<v Speaker 5>sure we'll get to it. I know they do this

464
00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:06.799
<v Speaker 5>in the beginning of every episode, so obviously there's a

465
00:24:06.880 --> 00:24:09.559
<v Speaker 5>theme going on where we're gonna like slowly but surely

466
00:24:09.640 --> 00:24:13.400
<v Speaker 5>unpack it as we find mister gutz Berserk or whatever

467
00:24:13.440 --> 00:24:16.880
<v Speaker 5>the fuck his name is. Uh, we'll figure it all

468
00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:19.440
<v Speaker 5>out with with the with the direct, with the with

469
00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:21.960
<v Speaker 5>the snake person. We'll figure it all out as we

470
00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:22.440
<v Speaker 5>get there.

471
00:24:24.440 --> 00:24:26.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, do you have any idea what he's talking about?

472
00:24:27.079 --> 00:24:29.519
<v Speaker 5>The guy turns into a snake. Griffith is like a snake,

473
00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:34.000
<v Speaker 5>a snakeman. He turns into a snake at the end

474
00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:39.640
<v Speaker 5>of the first episode, a reptilian snake monster. No, and

475
00:24:39.680 --> 00:24:41.519
<v Speaker 5>he cuts him in half. And then he's got like

476
00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:44.599
<v Speaker 5>a vagina face and he just stabs his vagina face

477
00:24:44.640 --> 00:24:45.519
<v Speaker 5>with a bunch of arrows.

478
00:24:45.519 --> 00:24:49.480
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Jeff, that.

479
00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:50.680
<v Speaker 2>No wait wait what?

480
00:24:51.640 --> 00:24:54.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? Can I can.

481
00:24:54.559 --> 00:24:55.680
<v Speaker 3>I ask question?

482
00:24:56.799 --> 00:25:00.680
<v Speaker 4>I guess this isn't a trick, this isn't a shrike.

483
00:25:01.160 --> 00:25:05.200
<v Speaker 4>I just want to I want to ask you why

484
00:25:05.240 --> 00:25:07.680
<v Speaker 4>do you think he's called guts? And I can't wait

485
00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:10.200
<v Speaker 4>to revisit the answer when we find out.

486
00:25:10.759 --> 00:25:14.920
<v Speaker 5>Why do I think he's called Guts. Yeah, I don't know.

487
00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:20.720
<v Speaker 5>My short time with anime, the nomenclature, sort of like philosophy,

488
00:25:20.799 --> 00:25:24.200
<v Speaker 5>is all over the map. Sometimes it's like an allusion

489
00:25:24.240 --> 00:25:27.440
<v Speaker 5>to a seventies rock band. Sometimes it's like something that's

490
00:25:27.720 --> 00:25:30.240
<v Speaker 5>very on the nose. I have no idea. It could

491
00:25:30.319 --> 00:25:34.079
<v Speaker 5>mean literal organs. It could also mean bravery, it could

492
00:25:34.119 --> 00:25:39.680
<v Speaker 5>mean anything. I have no idea. I also will admit

493
00:25:40.519 --> 00:25:43.279
<v Speaker 5>it wasn't until a couple seconds ago did I realize

494
00:25:43.640 --> 00:25:47.480
<v Speaker 5>that the swordsman guy's name was Guts. You know, I was.

495
00:25:49.279 --> 00:25:51.799
<v Speaker 4>The guy where he says his name was Guts. That

496
00:25:51.839 --> 00:25:52.599
<v Speaker 4>didn't register.

497
00:25:53.359 --> 00:25:57.680
<v Speaker 5>I just some there's something sometimes that goes on where

498
00:25:57.720 --> 00:25:59.960
<v Speaker 5>I don't grasp this stuff.

499
00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:02.279
<v Speaker 4>Okay, that's fine. Okay, Well, so.

500
00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:05.279
<v Speaker 3>Have a thing that shouldn't be that shouldn't be a

501
00:26:05.359 --> 00:26:06.079
<v Speaker 3>problem with.

502
00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:08.920
<v Speaker 2>No, I'm not. I'm not.

503
00:26:09.000 --> 00:26:12.519
<v Speaker 5>I'm a passenger. I'm not hosting it. I am a passenger.

504
00:26:12.920 --> 00:26:16.559
<v Speaker 5>I'm sitting in the back along for the ride.

505
00:26:16.880 --> 00:26:20.200
<v Speaker 3>Okay. So the opening sequence starts and we basically get

506
00:26:20.400 --> 00:26:24.359
<v Speaker 3>this hammer hitting a giant sword.

507
00:26:24.640 --> 00:26:28.519
<v Speaker 5>Jeff thoughts, Well, you asked me about what did the sword? Well,

508
00:26:28.640 --> 00:26:30.839
<v Speaker 5>there was he was making a sword in some sort

509
00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:34.759
<v Speaker 5>of like cave. And I assume this is like the

510
00:26:34.839 --> 00:26:40.119
<v Speaker 5>Black Swordsman thing. Uh, and you know it's like a

511
00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:41.000
<v Speaker 5>very big sword.

512
00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:41.279
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

513
00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:42.839
<v Speaker 5>I don't know why swords have to be so big

514
00:26:42.880 --> 00:26:46.400
<v Speaker 5>and impossible to hold. But that's fine if that's what

515
00:26:46.440 --> 00:26:49.319
<v Speaker 5>we're gonna do. Here gives you a good range, I guess.

516
00:26:49.359 --> 00:26:52.880
<v Speaker 5>And he's some special You talk about a.

517
00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:55.680
<v Speaker 4>TikTok guy who was training with a gut sword.

518
00:26:56.400 --> 00:26:59.640
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, is he still going?

519
00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:03.880
<v Speaker 2>I think he did it. I think yeah, he figured

520
00:27:03.880 --> 00:27:06.160
<v Speaker 2>it out and did it. How can you you can't

521
00:27:06.160 --> 00:27:07.119
<v Speaker 2>hold a sword like that?

522
00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:07.880
<v Speaker 5>Man?

523
00:27:09.160 --> 00:27:11.839
<v Speaker 3>He basically trained for like two years to do it.

524
00:27:12.079 --> 00:27:18.519
<v Speaker 3>Was its diro film and I understand full sword Jesus all right?

525
00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:21.960
<v Speaker 3>Well I actually turned it around and said, John, can

526
00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:25.359
<v Speaker 3>you elaborate for me as someone who's hyper familiar with

527
00:27:25.359 --> 00:27:25.720
<v Speaker 3>what this.

528
00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:26.319
<v Speaker 2>Sort of opening.

529
00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:28.079
<v Speaker 3>It's just the sword jeft, it's not that deep.

530
00:27:28.200 --> 00:27:30.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's just making and I nailed it. Then I

531
00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:31.240
<v Speaker 2>nailed it.

532
00:27:31.319 --> 00:27:32.200
<v Speaker 3>That's what it's about.

533
00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:38.839
<v Speaker 1>I will be doing Dark Soul's Reference of the week. Yes, okay,

00:28:13.960 --> 00:28:18.640
<v Speaker 1>well known one, but that is this is one of

541
00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:23.640
<v Speaker 1>the things that Miyazakian team drew some influence from. They

542
00:28:23.680 --> 00:28:26.079
<v Speaker 1>love a good shirtless old man.

543
00:28:27.839 --> 00:28:28.119

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there you go.

547
00:28:39.680 --> 00:28:42.359
<v Speaker 3>Jeff, did you pick up at all in these first episodes,

548
00:28:42.440 --> 00:28:46.400
<v Speaker 3>especially that first episode? I guess how much Dark Soul

549
00:28:46.799 --> 00:28:54.160
<v Speaker 3>Dark Souls from Soft came from Berserk? No, okay, that's okay.

550
00:28:55.440 --> 00:28:58.119
<v Speaker 2>Thankfully you have a Dark Soul's reference from the week

551
00:28:58.759 --> 00:29:00.720
<v Speaker 2>going for you, so get pointed out.

552
00:29:01.559 --> 00:29:04.839
<v Speaker 3>So we open up and we are basically inside a tavern.

553
00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:09.000
<v Speaker 3>It is a rain swept evening and a group of

554
00:29:10.119 --> 00:29:13.200
<v Speaker 3>excuse the phrase ne'er do wells enter the bar with

555
00:29:13.319 --> 00:29:16.519
<v Speaker 3>a young girl the podcast.

556
00:29:16.119 --> 00:29:19.119
<v Speaker 2>Now and didn't like this and then like this where

557
00:29:19.200 --> 00:29:19.799
<v Speaker 2>this was going?

558
00:29:20.079 --> 00:29:27.920
<v Speaker 5>You know, Oh, Jeff, buddy, I mean, oh okay, they

559
00:29:28.000 --> 00:29:30.200
<v Speaker 5>can't do that much with the cartoon. It already seems

560
00:29:30.240 --> 00:29:37.400
<v Speaker 5>pretty like Pg. Thirteen, so you know, you know, we'll see.

561
00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:42.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, And all we know about these men is

562
00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:44.359
<v Speaker 3>the first of all, they're they're they're not they're not

563
00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:46.319
<v Speaker 3>very cool. No, I would not want to hang out

564
00:29:46.359 --> 00:29:51.039
<v Speaker 3>with these dudes. And that they serve the snake baron right,

565
00:29:52.559 --> 00:29:55.079
<v Speaker 3>that's the same guy I was thinking this whole They

566
00:29:55.160 --> 00:29:57.599
<v Speaker 3>do this whole thing of like spilling drink out onto

567
00:29:57.680 --> 00:29:59.960
<v Speaker 3>the table and making the girl like lick it up.

568
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:01.920
<v Speaker 3>But it's just it's very uncomfortable.

569
00:30:01.960 --> 00:30:04.079
<v Speaker 2>I wish they wouldn't, isn't wish they wouldn't.

570
00:30:04.480 --> 00:30:11.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And that is when a mysterious black swordsman with

571
00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:15.480
<v Speaker 3>a mechanical arm enters the bar and just fucking lights

572
00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:17.519
<v Speaker 3>two of them up straight away. This is our first

573
00:30:17.559 --> 00:30:19.880
<v Speaker 3>introduction to our protagonist Guts.

574
00:30:20.319 --> 00:30:22.680
<v Speaker 5>And I thought he was I thought he was aiming

575
00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:26.880
<v Speaker 5>with that one eye closed, But no, no, no, one

576
00:30:26.920 --> 00:30:27.680
<v Speaker 5>eye is closed.

577
00:30:27.720 --> 00:30:29.720
<v Speaker 4>He's just like I mean, when eyes closed permanently.

578
00:30:29.960 --> 00:30:37.440
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, yep, just yeah, so that perception, what's that? No

579
00:30:37.599 --> 00:30:40.880
<v Speaker 9>depth perception? Yeah, he's probably.

580
00:30:42.359 --> 00:30:42.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

581
00:30:44.319 --> 00:30:45.599
<v Speaker 3>Hew do you think Guts lost his eye?

582
00:30:46.799 --> 00:30:46.960
<v Speaker 8>Oh?

583
00:30:47.079 --> 00:30:49.759
<v Speaker 5>I don't know, he works with sharp arrows a lot,

584
00:30:49.920 --> 00:30:51.880
<v Speaker 5>I would imagine, so that's got something.

585
00:30:51.720 --> 00:30:52.200
<v Speaker 7>To do with it.

586
00:30:52.359 --> 00:30:57.880
<v Speaker 3>But I'm no crossbow misfire is your is your your guess?

587
00:30:58.160 --> 00:30:59.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, maybe there's like a misfire.

588
00:31:00.279 --> 00:31:02.440
<v Speaker 5>He's like all those thing's jammed and he like kind

589
00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:06.039
<v Speaker 5>of looks towards himself and yeah, hips facto.

590
00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:06.559
<v Speaker 3>There you go.

591
00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:07.000
<v Speaker 5>You know what.

592
00:31:07.119 --> 00:31:09.359
<v Speaker 3>I bet that's it. I bet the actual reason won't

593
00:31:09.480 --> 00:31:11.680
<v Speaker 3>be any more tragic or horrifying them.

594
00:31:11.799 --> 00:31:15.279
<v Speaker 5>No, he's also fighting snake barns and like taking down

595
00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:17.960
<v Speaker 5>entire armies with his two dimensions.

596
00:31:18.079 --> 00:31:18.880
<v Speaker 2>So I don't know.

597
00:31:19.319 --> 00:31:22.720
<v Speaker 5>Perhaps that's got something to do with it. We'll just

598
00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:25.200
<v Speaker 5>have to wait and see. But let me tell you,

599
00:31:25.880 --> 00:31:27.000
<v Speaker 5>they better address it.

600
00:31:28.279 --> 00:31:32.440
<v Speaker 3>Oh don't worry, Jeff. You will become intimately aware of

601
00:31:32.680 --> 00:31:33.680
<v Speaker 3>how he lost his eye.

602
00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:34.279
<v Speaker 2>Cool.

603
00:31:34.680 --> 00:31:37.119
<v Speaker 5>I love the eyeball terror. Can't wait.

604
00:31:38.039 --> 00:31:40.839
<v Speaker 3>Goods just just takes these fucking dudes out, but he

605
00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:42.759
<v Speaker 3>leaves one of them alive because he's.

606
00:31:43.359 --> 00:31:44.279
<v Speaker 2>Before you move on.

607
00:31:45.279 --> 00:31:48.559
<v Speaker 1>How So there's a moment where he enters and you're like, okay,

608
00:31:48.599 --> 00:31:50.960
<v Speaker 1>it's about to pop off. Yeah, and then there's a

609
00:31:51.119 --> 00:31:53.640
<v Speaker 1>close up of him putting his hand on the hilt

610
00:31:53.680 --> 00:31:57.720
<v Speaker 1>of the sword and then there's a swinging motion and

611
00:31:58.599 --> 00:32:01.279
<v Speaker 1>the dude's cutting half. Then you get to see the

612
00:32:01.440 --> 00:32:05.160
<v Speaker 1>sword land on the ground, right, and there's that moment

613
00:32:05.200 --> 00:32:08.519
<v Speaker 1>where you're like, wait, the idea is You're like, what

614
00:32:08.759 --> 00:32:10.319
<v Speaker 1>the why is that so big?

615
00:32:10.400 --> 00:32:12.880
<v Speaker 2>And why is it so heavy? What was your what

616
00:32:13.079 --> 00:32:14.359
<v Speaker 2>was your response to that moment?

617
00:32:14.480 --> 00:32:18.440
<v Speaker 1>Or the sword hits the ground and like basically crushes

618
00:32:18.559 --> 00:32:19.680
<v Speaker 1>a massive chunk of it.

619
00:32:21.359 --> 00:32:24.960
<v Speaker 5>M kind of kind of what you said, like, uh, yeah,

620
00:32:25.359 --> 00:32:29.359
<v Speaker 5>guys holding and wielding and swinging an impossibly heavy sword

621
00:32:29.799 --> 00:32:32.160
<v Speaker 5>to the point where like maybe he's not that good

622
00:32:32.240 --> 00:32:35.640
<v Speaker 5>at it. Maybe this thing is fucking just doing what

623
00:32:35.759 --> 00:32:38.359
<v Speaker 5>it wants. Maybe this sword is not a sword. This

624
00:32:38.519 --> 00:32:41.039
<v Speaker 5>is a smashing sword. It is It's like it's like

625
00:32:41.079 --> 00:32:44.039
<v Speaker 5>a hammer sword. It's not really a slicy sword, even

626
00:32:44.079 --> 00:32:46.079
<v Speaker 5>though he just did dice up a couple of fellers

627
00:32:46.319 --> 00:32:49.799
<v Speaker 5>in that bar there. Uh, he also holds it sometimes

628
00:32:49.880 --> 00:32:52.160
<v Speaker 5>as an extension of his penis there I said it

629
00:32:53.400 --> 00:32:56.000
<v Speaker 5>he holds it in a way Jesus jet that it's

630
00:32:56.079 --> 00:33:00.160
<v Speaker 5>like positioned between his legs. And you know, look, I

631
00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:02.960
<v Speaker 5>get its swords are phallic in nature, and certainly you

632
00:33:04.319 --> 00:33:06.319
<v Speaker 5>stand with one that way, and it's gonna look like

633
00:33:06.400 --> 00:33:08.119
<v Speaker 5>a sharp, long penis, is what it's.

634
00:33:07.960 --> 00:33:14.079
<v Speaker 4>Gonna saying a lot here, Jeff, if you hold.

635
00:33:13.960 --> 00:33:20.119
<v Speaker 5>A sword between your legs in the cratchel region, you

636
00:33:20.279 --> 00:33:21.480
<v Speaker 5>will make it look like.

637
00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:23.680
<v Speaker 2>It's a big sharp dong.

638
00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:26.640
<v Speaker 3>Okay, you know, I tend to just see that as

639
00:33:26.680 --> 00:33:27.079
<v Speaker 3>a sword.

640
00:33:27.319 --> 00:33:29.559
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, okay, that's fine.

641
00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:32.440
<v Speaker 1>It's time for your from Software reference of the week,

00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:37.480
<v Speaker 3>Yea.

644
00:33:37.880 --> 00:33:41.400
<v Speaker 1>It is iconic for its size and its heft and

645
00:33:41.559 --> 00:33:46.519
<v Speaker 1>it's damaging ability, and it's been frequently included in From

646
00:33:46.599 --> 00:33:51.119
<v Speaker 1>Software's games, most recently. The great Sword is a colossal

647
00:33:51.200 --> 00:33:55.079
<v Speaker 1>sword in the video game Elden Ring scales primarily with strength.

648
00:33:56.039 --> 00:34:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Great weapon for cleaving a bunch of one evening. Yeah,

649
00:34:02.759 --> 00:34:06.039
<v Speaker 1>it's just a It's described as a coarse iron lump

650

<v Speaker 1>incredible weight.

652
00:34:12.639 --> 00:34:15.760
<v Speaker 5>I'm not like swords stuff like, you know what I mean?

653
00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:20.960
<v Speaker 3>Usually, Jeff, I prefer karate to swords. Yeah, same biga.

654
00:34:21.159 --> 00:34:24.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, though handling it likely requires the wilder to have

655
00:34:24.639 --> 00:34:28.920
<v Speaker 1>surpassed the realm of merely human is precisely for this reason,

656
00:34:29.000 --> 00:34:32.960
<v Speaker 1>the weapon is used to slaughter even in human foes. Mmm,

657
00:34:33.440 --> 00:34:36.880
<v Speaker 1>got it, you're from software. Reference of the week.

658

<v Speaker 2>Okay, thank you, tom So.

659
00:34:41.840 --> 00:34:44.400
<v Speaker 3>Word gets back to our boy, the Snake Baron, who

660
00:34:44.559 --> 00:34:46.719
<v Speaker 3>just to let people know, is the villain of this episode,

661
00:34:48.519 --> 00:34:52.239
<v Speaker 3>and he hears word that the Black Swordsman has arrived,

662
00:34:52.320 --> 00:34:58.320
<v Speaker 3>and his response is merely, he's finally here. So already

663
00:34:59.400 --> 00:35:01.760
<v Speaker 3>you're kind of dropped in the middle of a story.

664
00:35:01.840 --> 00:35:04.320
<v Speaker 3>This is this is not the origin and nothing. This

665
00:35:04.519 --> 00:35:08.199
<v Speaker 3>is very much like Okay, this this has been going

666
00:35:08.280 --> 00:35:10.360
<v Speaker 3>for a while, and we are cutting into the center

667
00:35:10.440 --> 00:35:12.800
<v Speaker 3>of it right, as we will find out, is very

668
00:35:12.880 --> 00:35:17.760
<v Speaker 3>much true. We didn't get a scene of Guts trying

669
00:35:17.800 --> 00:35:20.719
<v Speaker 3>to get some some should I in a nearby forest

670
00:35:21.880 --> 00:35:24.960
<v Speaker 3>and all kinds of horrible visions are stopping him from

671
00:35:25.039 --> 00:35:25.320
<v Speaker 3>doing that.

672
00:35:25.639 --> 00:35:32.559

687
00:36:26.679 --> 00:36:30.280
<v Speaker 4>need a jingle, was like from Software Reference.

688
00:36:29.840 --> 00:36:34.079
<v Speaker 3>Off If someone would like to make it, just use

00:36:34.199 --> 00:36:36.719
<v Speaker 3>that sound bite Lucy to give it to us clean

690
00:36:36.800 --> 00:36:37.519
<v Speaker 3>without any.

691
00:36:38.440 --> 00:36:43.920
<v Speaker 4>Sounded like I want to blow my nose from Software

692
00:36:44.119 --> 00:36:48.840
<v Speaker 4>Reference of the Week. I think the flat note really

693
00:36:49.000 --> 00:36:49.320

695
00:36:53.679 --> 00:36:55.679
<v Speaker 1>isolate it and put like a beat behind it or something.

696
00:36:57.239 --> 00:36:59.639
<v Speaker 3>So what we're getting here is this good sky. He

697
00:36:59.760 --> 00:37:03.039
<v Speaker 3>is troubled. He he you know, even even a simple

698
00:37:03.119 --> 00:37:06.079
<v Speaker 3>knight's rest is not something that comes easily to him.

699
00:37:06.400 --> 00:37:11.199
<v Speaker 3>We see a lot of ghostly figures, including four particular

700
00:37:11.280 --> 00:37:18.440
<v Speaker 3>figures are five that refer to themselves as the God Hand.

00:37:32.800 --> 00:37:35.760
<v Speaker 3>The snake Baron is He's going off on one. He's

706
00:37:35.840 --> 00:37:38.440
<v Speaker 3>not happy that that that Guts is here, and he

707
00:37:38.599 --> 00:37:43.239
<v Speaker 3>basically starts annihilating this village, to whom he has established

708
00:37:43.239 --> 00:37:47.280
<v Speaker 3>an agreement with the mayor. I don't I don't know

712
00:38:01.400 --> 00:38:04.400
<v Speaker 3>these innocent people, which is when he comes face to

713
00:38:04.599 --> 00:38:09.280
<v Speaker 3>face with Guts. His men do not do very well

714
00:38:09.280 --> 00:38:11.800
<v Speaker 3>against Goots at all. They are slaughtered immediately by the

715
00:38:11.840 --> 00:38:20.199
<v Speaker 3>heft of his giant and girthy sword, and it then

716
00:38:20.280 --> 00:38:24.360
<v Speaker 3>becomes a showdown between the the snake Baron and Guts

717
00:38:24.519 --> 00:38:28.559
<v Speaker 3>before the snake Baron transforms into a giant and horrifying monster.

737
00:39:41.239 --> 00:39:46.360
<v Speaker 5>wish that didn't happen. Not a fan, No, not a fan.

738
00:39:46.639 --> 00:39:51.280
<v Speaker 3>It's something that goods wish that it didn't happen. His

739
00:39:51.480 --> 00:39:53.760
<v Speaker 3>his sword gets knocked away and he gets crushed into

740
00:39:53.840 --> 00:39:58.719
<v Speaker 3>the giant Tale of the Snake Baron and this thing

741
00:39:59.639 --> 00:40:02.199
<v Speaker 3>the month the Designer Berserk. I always find is like

742
00:40:03.639 --> 00:40:06.119
<v Speaker 3>Mirror takes a lot of like really established tropes, like

743
00:40:06.199 --> 00:40:09.199
<v Speaker 3>a giant snake monster, but there's always just this added

744
00:40:09.280 --> 00:40:12.760
<v Speaker 3>layer of just fucking nightmare horror to it. And I

745
00:40:12.800 --> 00:40:15.199
<v Speaker 3>think the Snake Barron is like a really good introduction

746
00:40:15.280 --> 00:40:17.679
<v Speaker 3>to that because like big scary snake monster and then

747
00:40:17.719 --> 00:40:20.599
<v Speaker 3>it opens its mouth and has the human face inside

748
00:40:20.679 --> 00:40:24.679
<v Speaker 3>and it's like it's pushing through the goods thing utterly horrible.

749
00:40:24.719 --> 00:40:27.519
<v Speaker 5>Plus the tom plus the tongue on top, like the

750
00:40:27.639 --> 00:40:29.719
<v Speaker 5>cherry on the Sunday the things.

751
00:40:31.039 --> 00:40:32.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I was gonna say.

752
00:40:32.360 --> 00:40:34.039
<v Speaker 1>The two things that they kind of in that whole

753
00:40:34.719 --> 00:40:38.559
<v Speaker 1>sequence that are worth pointing out is the snake Baron

754
00:40:38.639 --> 00:40:42.320
<v Speaker 1>call refers to himself as an apostle and he says

755
00:40:42.360 --> 00:40:46.079
<v Speaker 1>the other guy, I'm making trouble for us apostles. And

756
00:40:46.119 --> 00:40:48.800
<v Speaker 1>then also like it zooms in onto a necklace he's wearing,

757
00:40:48.880 --> 00:40:52.880
<v Speaker 1>which is like a weird fat baby based red.

758
00:40:53.039 --> 00:40:56.039
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, there's like a weird honker in it. Weird nose,

759
00:40:56.440 --> 00:40:57.119
<v Speaker 5>weird nose.

760
00:40:57.400 --> 00:41:01.719
<v Speaker 2>Reference of the week. Devil might cry red orbs. It's nice.

761
00:41:02.119 --> 00:41:05.119
<v Speaker 5>He he does say, like I got my nose necklace.

762
00:41:05.920 --> 00:41:08.519
<v Speaker 5>That's important, is what he calls it. I will say

763
00:41:08.559 --> 00:41:11.119
<v Speaker 5>this Berzerk is pretty heavy metal. I wasn't expecting it

764
00:41:11.199 --> 00:41:13.280
<v Speaker 5>to be so heavy metal. It's kind of metal that

765
00:41:13.440 --> 00:41:14.360
<v Speaker 5>is not going to stop.

766
00:41:14.679 --> 00:41:17.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, very heavy, very heavy metal.

767
00:41:17.599 --> 00:41:21.960
<v Speaker 3>It was not amazing and like iconic imagery in this show. Yeah,

768
00:41:23.679 --> 00:41:28.599
<v Speaker 3>And unfortunately for Baron, snake guts happens to have a

769
00:41:28.679 --> 00:41:29.920
<v Speaker 3>cannon in his arm thoughts.

770
00:41:31.320 --> 00:41:34.400
<v Speaker 5>I didn't know where that came from at all, sort

771
00:41:34.440 --> 00:41:37.480
<v Speaker 5>of just like, come on, we need to establish things

772
00:41:37.559 --> 00:41:41.039
<v Speaker 5>before we use them, I guess, but maybe not well,

773
00:41:41.039 --> 00:41:43.880
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I mean, I guess some.

774
00:41:43.960 --> 00:41:47.599
<v Speaker 3>Might argue this is the establishment that was establishing sure.

775
00:41:47.519 --> 00:41:51.079
<v Speaker 5>Pilot, pilot, give me your cannon gun, cannon arm thing.

776
00:41:52.000 --> 00:41:54.800
<v Speaker 5>I like, they froze, they froze the frame. I thought

777
00:41:54.840 --> 00:41:57.239
<v Speaker 5>that was really cool. I really enjoyed that delivery.

778
00:41:57.480 --> 00:41:59.440
<v Speaker 3>I think so when I look at the show, it

779
00:41:59.559 --> 00:42:03.840
<v Speaker 3>doesn't look like a show with like the most lavish

780
00:42:03.960 --> 00:42:07.440
<v Speaker 3>animation production in terms of like time or budget, But

781
00:42:07.880 --> 00:42:10.039
<v Speaker 3>I think they make a lot of clever decisions in

782
00:42:10.159 --> 00:42:13.119
<v Speaker 3>working on what they have and making it feel important.

783
00:42:13.239 --> 00:42:15.079
<v Speaker 3>Because even I think it's this episode of this one

784
00:42:15.119 --> 00:42:17.800
<v Speaker 3>shot where there's like it's just a still background of

785
00:42:17.840 --> 00:42:19.920
<v Speaker 3>a village burning and it's a beautiful painting, but like

786
00:42:19.960 --> 00:42:22.320
<v Speaker 3>there's no animation, the fire is not moving, and so

787
00:42:22.400 --> 00:42:25.400
<v Speaker 3>they like warp it and that with the fire affects

788
00:42:25.760 --> 00:42:28.280
<v Speaker 3>like it looks like heat Hayes and it actually works,

789
00:42:28.840 --> 00:42:32.320
<v Speaker 3>and that that is an economical use of one's resources.

790
00:42:33.119 --> 00:42:36.599
<v Speaker 1>I also like during this fight where the snake Baron

791
00:42:36.719 --> 00:42:40.000
<v Speaker 1>is holding gods by the head and he looks like

792
00:42:40.840 --> 00:42:44.880
<v Speaker 1>so like pained and sad and like he's That's one

793
00:42:44.920 --> 00:42:46.639
<v Speaker 1>of the things. I think it's the first instance of

794
00:42:46.800 --> 00:42:50.519
<v Speaker 1>the viewer being told like, this guy is not invincible.

795
00:42:50.599 --> 00:42:51.400
<v Speaker 2>There's more going.

796
00:42:51.440 --> 00:42:54.519
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they reference it the earlier where the he's

797
00:42:54.559 --> 00:42:58.400
<v Speaker 1>having that experience in the woods and they like, your

798
00:42:58.440 --> 00:43:01.599
<v Speaker 1>fear belongs to us, the kind of references that he's

799
00:43:01.800 --> 00:43:04.840
<v Speaker 1>not a superhero. And then you see this scene where

800
00:43:04.840 --> 00:43:07.599
<v Speaker 1>he's like he looks like he's gonna cry, and you're like, oh, ship,

801
00:43:07.679 --> 00:43:08.119
<v Speaker 1>this guy.

802
00:43:08.119 --> 00:43:11.840
<v Speaker 5>Reminded me of Mooman writer in one punch Man was

803
00:43:11.920 --> 00:43:14.760
<v Speaker 5>just getting tossed around by that monster thing.

804
00:43:15.159 --> 00:43:18.880
<v Speaker 2>My favorite part of that entire show, that little U.

805
00:43:19.599 --> 00:43:22.800
<v Speaker 3>So this is what it looks like when you just

806
00:43:22.920 --> 00:43:25.000
<v Speaker 3>don't rise to bait and you be the bigger person.

807
00:43:25.119 --> 00:43:25.719
<v Speaker 3>So I'm moving on.

808
00:43:26.199 --> 00:43:26.480
<v Speaker 2>Cool.

809
00:43:26.719 --> 00:43:29.280
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that's not bait, that's just truth. There's just spitting fact,

810
00:43:29.480 --> 00:43:33.679
<v Speaker 5>I guess. But yeah, that's tough, John. You're a right,

811
00:43:34.320 --> 00:43:37.960
<v Speaker 5>you're you're a big, big person. It's okay, okay, okay.

812
00:43:38.519 --> 00:43:40.599
<v Speaker 1>Never I never thought in a million years out here

813
00:43:40.719 --> 00:43:43.679
<v Speaker 1>moomen writer reference while talking about.

814
00:43:44.679 --> 00:43:48.159
<v Speaker 5>Look, I did it, I did it. Does the first

815
00:43:48.199 --> 00:43:50.480
<v Speaker 5>for everything, Tam get on board, strap in. There's a

816
00:43:50.480 --> 00:43:51.480
<v Speaker 5>lot more where this came from.

817
00:43:51.800 --> 00:43:52.159
<v Speaker 2>Let's go.

818
00:43:53.840 --> 00:43:58.000
<v Speaker 3>So at this point, uh, the snake Baron is in

819
00:43:58.079 --> 00:44:00.480
<v Speaker 3>a pretty bad way. And here's where we get to

820
00:44:00.480 --> 00:44:03.079
<v Speaker 3>see a really, like, I want to say, kind of

821
00:44:03.199 --> 00:44:06.559
<v Speaker 3>surprising side of Goots, because he's not like, I have

822
00:44:06.679 --> 00:44:09.519
<v Speaker 3>defeated you, Barron, and now the people are free. He's like,

823
00:44:10.280 --> 00:44:13.119
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna fucking hurt you now and just shoots him

824
00:44:13.760 --> 00:44:16.840
<v Speaker 3>over and over. It's hilarious.

825
00:44:18.199 --> 00:44:21.000
<v Speaker 2>He's just like, what was that? Oh, oh you're like

826
00:44:21.079 --> 00:44:21.679
<v Speaker 2>a va giant.

827
00:44:22.559 --> 00:44:22.880
<v Speaker 3>Oh what?

828
00:44:23.599 --> 00:44:24.800
<v Speaker 2>Just over and over?

829
00:44:25.440 --> 00:44:28.079
<v Speaker 5>Really gratuitous but funny.

830
00:44:28.280 --> 00:44:31.800
<v Speaker 3>And it is gratuitous. But it's also like, oh, Guts

831
00:44:31.960 --> 00:44:35.960
<v Speaker 3>like fucking hates these people, whatever the apostles are, whatever

832
00:44:36.039 --> 00:44:40.199
<v Speaker 3>this force is, Guts despises it, and he has no

833
00:44:40.440 --> 00:44:45.039
<v Speaker 3>mercy in himself. He he he He is Maybe not

834
00:44:45.159 --> 00:44:47.960
<v Speaker 3>a good dude either, is what we're kind of feeling here.

835
00:44:49.400 --> 00:44:53.079
<v Speaker 2>They also referenced something called the brand m.

836
00:44:53.239 --> 00:44:55.719
<v Speaker 5>Hm yes, which is a tattoo that I'm sure no

837
00:44:55.840 --> 00:44:56.840
<v Speaker 5>one in real life has.

838
00:44:57.400 --> 00:44:59.280
<v Speaker 2>It's some from software reference of.

839
00:44:59.440 --> 00:44:59.599
<v Speaker 3>The we.

840
00:45:01.800 --> 00:45:04.199
<v Speaker 4>John as you said, John John raised the hand Man.

841
00:45:04.440 --> 00:45:08.400
<v Speaker 3>Where is it It's like could show I'm not going

842
00:45:08.440 --> 00:45:09.679
<v Speaker 3>to It's.

843
00:45:09.639 --> 00:45:13.760
<v Speaker 2>Like, wait is the other side? Where is that where

844
00:45:13.840 --> 00:45:14.320
<v Speaker 2>Guts has?

845
00:45:17.719 --> 00:45:22.960
<v Speaker 1>Yes, that is a brand that also inspired a bunch

846
00:45:23.079 --> 00:45:29.800
<v Speaker 1>of imagery symbolism in Bloodborne, specifically the Carol Ruins and

847
00:45:30.039 --> 00:45:32.280
<v Speaker 1>the Hunter's mark. If you look at the hunter as

848
00:45:32.320 --> 00:45:35.800
<v Speaker 1>mark from Bloodborne, it is very, very stylistically similar to

849
00:45:35.920 --> 00:45:36.280
<v Speaker 1>the brand.

850
00:45:37.320 --> 00:45:40.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the brand has become a very popular tattoo to

851
00:45:40.760 --> 00:45:43.440
<v Speaker 3>get and I love that. I love meeting other people

852
00:45:43.440 --> 00:45:44.519
<v Speaker 3>with the brand and being like.

853
00:45:46.280 --> 00:45:48.440
<v Speaker 2>You get it going on you that night.

854
00:45:50.000 --> 00:45:51.800
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it's it's a struggle at the best of

855
00:45:51.880 --> 00:45:58.079
<v Speaker 3>times them. So with that, God's basically leaves the snake

856
00:45:58.119 --> 00:45:59.079
<v Speaker 3>barn burning.

857
00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:02.599
<v Speaker 2>And takes the baylet.

858
00:46:02.960 --> 00:46:06.440
<v Speaker 3>He takes the bailt and this closes out episode one,

859
00:46:06.559 --> 00:46:11.840
<v Speaker 3>but as it does, we get a flashback and it's

860
00:46:11.880 --> 00:46:17.000
<v Speaker 3>of a seemingly very young Guts facing down a night

861
00:46:17.519 --> 00:46:23.320
<v Speaker 3>much larger than him. Azuso, my boy, that's the character

862
00:46:23.440 --> 00:46:24.639
<v Speaker 3>that you've fucking honed in on.

863
00:46:25.199 --> 00:46:27.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't know why. I don't know why.

864
00:46:28.519 --> 00:46:31.320
<v Speaker 5>Something about this guy I think is real funny and goofy.

865
00:46:32.199 --> 00:46:41.800
<v Speaker 5>He's like the Mike Manatti of Oh shit, this guy's

866
00:46:41.840 --> 00:46:46.000
<v Speaker 5>making me laugh. A Disney adult, Yeah, like Bzo definitely

867
00:46:46.119 --> 00:46:50.559
<v Speaker 5>Disney definitely loves going on all the rides.

868
00:46:51.360 --> 00:46:53.880
<v Speaker 3>So, and this is the point basically where we have

869
00:46:54.159 --> 00:46:58.960
<v Speaker 3>done fourteen chapters in this one episode, we've kind of

870
00:46:59.039 --> 00:47:02.519
<v Speaker 3>like we've kind of cut out the second half or

871
00:47:02.599 --> 00:47:04.280
<v Speaker 3>well not even the second half of cut out, like

872
00:47:04.440 --> 00:47:06.840
<v Speaker 3>just loads and loads of story and like loads and

873
00:47:06.880 --> 00:47:10.440
<v Speaker 3>loads of goods like fighting demon lords and nearly killing

874
00:47:10.480 --> 00:47:12.559
<v Speaker 3>little girls and all this kind of stuff.

875
00:47:12.719 --> 00:47:14.159
<v Speaker 2>Nearly what do you mean nearly?

876
00:47:14.280 --> 00:47:14.440
<v Speaker 5>Why?

877
00:47:14.719 --> 00:47:16.519
<v Speaker 2>I mean he kind of has.

878
00:47:16.800 --> 00:47:19.440
<v Speaker 3>There's a moment where he's like kind of saving a

879
00:47:19.480 --> 00:47:22.079
<v Speaker 3>little girl, but then when the choice comes to kill

880
00:47:22.159 --> 00:47:24.920
<v Speaker 3>this demon lord or say the little girl, he accidentally

881
00:47:25.039 --> 00:47:27.360
<v Speaker 3>nearly kills the dean the girl, but then he does

882
00:47:27.440 --> 00:47:30.119
<v Speaker 3>kill the demon lord, and it's a whole thing. The

883
00:47:30.239 --> 00:47:32.960
<v Speaker 3>point being he wants to kill these creatures more than

884
00:47:33.000 --> 00:47:36.039
<v Speaker 3>he wants to save innocence, which makes him a right bastard,

885
00:47:36.679 --> 00:47:37.000
<v Speaker 3>got it?

886
00:47:37.719 --> 00:47:40.360
<v Speaker 2>Mm hmm? Okay, And.

887
00:47:42.079 --> 00:47:45.599
<v Speaker 3>So then the next Okay, first of all, Jeff thoughts

888
00:47:45.599 --> 00:47:47.679
<v Speaker 3>where were you at the end? And Tom Lucy a

889
00:47:47.719 --> 00:47:51.280
<v Speaker 3>mainly consentrying on Jeff just because he is present the series. Yeah, no,

890
00:47:51.440 --> 00:47:54.440
<v Speaker 3>I was, I think It captured me definitely. It was

891
00:47:54.519 --> 00:47:56.559
<v Speaker 3>very excited. Okay, yeah, I was like cool.

892
00:47:57.119 --> 00:47:58.519
<v Speaker 5>I was like, cool, we're just gonna be are we

893
00:47:58.599 --> 00:48:00.239
<v Speaker 5>going to be doing like demon on the We and

894
00:48:00.440 --> 00:48:03.800
<v Speaker 5>Guts is just gonna be like two dimensionally slaughtering these

895
00:48:03.880 --> 00:48:06.719
<v Speaker 5>fools like all over, Like I'm here for that. I

896
00:48:06.800 --> 00:48:10.920
<v Speaker 5>thought that was neat, you know. I guess there was

897
00:48:11.119 --> 00:48:16.800
<v Speaker 5>enough table setting that sort of uh you know, laid

898
00:48:16.840 --> 00:48:19.719
<v Speaker 5>the laid the foundation for like, oh, let's let's we're

899
00:48:19.719 --> 00:48:22.760
<v Speaker 5>gonna probably dig into this guy's past. We're gonna see

900
00:48:22.840 --> 00:48:28.440
<v Speaker 5>how he became this uh this guts person with the sword. Okay, sure,

901
00:48:28.800 --> 00:48:31.559
<v Speaker 5>you know, so it was. It was I found the

902
00:48:31.639 --> 00:48:34.760
<v Speaker 5>first episode more engaging than this one. We're about to

903
00:48:34.800 --> 00:48:37.559
<v Speaker 5>recap the second one, but but yeah.

904
00:48:37.519 --> 00:48:38.440
<v Speaker 2>M interesting.

905
00:48:39.079 --> 00:48:41.639
<v Speaker 3>So okay, I'm interested to dive into this one a

906
00:48:41.679 --> 00:48:45.480
<v Speaker 3>little bit because again, so much has been cut from

907
00:48:45.519 --> 00:48:48.880
<v Speaker 3>this episode, and I guess I just want to drop

908
00:48:48.920 --> 00:48:52.360
<v Speaker 3>a content warning here for people. Uh, it's really really

909
00:48:52.519 --> 00:48:55.599
<v Speaker 3>difficult to talk about Brazik without touching on like aspects

910
00:48:55.639 --> 00:48:58.239
<v Speaker 3>of like sexual assault and some kind of tough stuff

911
00:48:58.280 --> 00:49:00.320
<v Speaker 3>that it touches on. And I think we are going

912
00:49:00.400 --> 00:49:02.079
<v Speaker 3>to have to like go into that a little bit.

913
00:49:03.039 --> 00:49:04.239
<v Speaker 3>You know, we're not going to dwell on it, we're

914
00:49:04.239 --> 00:49:05.679
<v Speaker 3>not going to talk about it longer than we have to.

915
00:49:05.960 --> 00:49:09.639
<v Speaker 3>But I think there's there's a lot of positive and

916
00:49:09.639 --> 00:49:11.880
<v Speaker 3>a lot of negative and how Berzerk touches on this stuff,

917
00:49:11.920 --> 00:49:14.599
<v Speaker 3>and I think in some ways like it's there's some

918
00:49:14.719 --> 00:49:17.119
<v Speaker 3>really like profound and great stuff in there, and there's

919
00:49:17.159 --> 00:49:18.840
<v Speaker 3>like some explosive stuff in there as well, And I

920
00:49:19.440 --> 00:49:21.840
<v Speaker 3>really don't want to just sideline that because I think

921
00:49:21.880 --> 00:49:23.760
<v Speaker 3>it is a really really important discussion to have. So

922
00:49:23.880 --> 00:49:26.239
<v Speaker 3>just just want to lay this content warning right in

923
00:49:26.440 --> 00:49:29.079
<v Speaker 3>front of people, you know, and we will do that

924
00:49:29.280 --> 00:49:31.639
<v Speaker 3>as we continue with the story, so that you know,

925
00:49:31.679 --> 00:49:33.599
<v Speaker 3>people don't have to miss more than they have once.

926
00:49:33.679 --> 00:49:38.599
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's berserk in terms of contextualizing it and trying

927
00:49:38.639 --> 00:49:41.559
<v Speaker 1>to come at it from or talking about that specific

928
00:49:41.639 --> 00:49:45.400
<v Speaker 1>thing from a creative analytical angle. Was this was like

929
00:49:45.559 --> 00:49:47.880
<v Speaker 1>one of the few or maybe one of the early

930
00:49:48.000 --> 00:49:51.559
<v Speaker 1>examples or popular examples of a anime or a manga

931
00:49:51.679 --> 00:49:56.079
<v Speaker 1>series actually touching upon those kinds of topics. And for

932
00:49:56.239 --> 00:50:00.599
<v Speaker 1>most people who enjoy anime, this is usually series that

933
00:50:00.760 --> 00:50:04.239
<v Speaker 1>kind of when you're young, changed things where it's like, oh,

934
00:50:04.320 --> 00:50:08.000
<v Speaker 1>this is does anime? Isn't just like people being super

935
00:50:08.079 --> 00:50:10.239
<v Speaker 1>powered and you know, growing up this was like one

936
00:50:10.280 --> 00:50:14.880
<v Speaker 1>of those experiences. So the fact that it tackles or

937
00:50:15.079 --> 00:50:18.599
<v Speaker 1>uses those kind of issues as a narrative kind of

938
00:50:18.679 --> 00:50:23.760
<v Speaker 1>device was unique. But in doing so and in pioneering

939
00:50:23.880 --> 00:50:27.800
<v Speaker 1>that kind of approach, it also makes a lot of mistakes.

940
00:50:28.719 --> 00:50:32.239
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, there's there's a lot in like specific scenes that

941
00:50:32.320 --> 00:50:34.960
<v Speaker 3>I think is very much like exploitive, and there's definitely

942
00:50:35.079 --> 00:50:37.920
<v Speaker 3>moments where it feels like that kind of material is

943
00:50:38.039 --> 00:50:40.119
<v Speaker 3>being used to shock. But what I will say is,

944
00:50:40.199 --> 00:50:43.480
<v Speaker 3>at least in the case of its main characters, I

945
00:50:43.599 --> 00:50:47.239
<v Speaker 3>feel like that trauma is worked into who they are

946
00:50:47.360 --> 00:50:51.239
<v Speaker 3>and their identity in really genuinely meaningful ways, and it's

947
00:50:51.280 --> 00:50:54.440
<v Speaker 3>a part of them that is always relevant and you

948
00:50:54.519 --> 00:50:56.639
<v Speaker 3>can always feel in them. But we'll get into it

949
00:50:56.679 --> 00:50:59.000
<v Speaker 3>a little more here, but yeah, just wanted to get

950
00:50:59.079 --> 00:51:03.719
<v Speaker 3>that right up front. So we begin, and it starts

951
00:51:03.760 --> 00:51:07.960
<v Speaker 3>with basically a siege on a castle and Jeff's favorite

952
00:51:07.960 --> 00:51:14.079
<v Speaker 3>berserk character, Berzuzzo is uh Mo, one fools down. No

953
00:51:14.239 --> 00:51:18.000
<v Speaker 3>one can touch Berzuzo and his giant dick axe. His

954
00:51:18.199 --> 00:51:22.360
<v Speaker 3>dick axe, his like bulbous armor. That's so stupid, and

955
00:51:22.480 --> 00:51:23.159
<v Speaker 3>he's just sort.

956
00:51:23.000 --> 00:51:26.280
<v Speaker 4>Of like a what'd you call him from from Soft

957
00:51:26.480 --> 00:51:28.960
<v Speaker 4>in terms of like that it's time to from Software.

958
00:51:31.280 --> 00:51:32.280
<v Speaker 2>I could feel it.

959
00:51:33.920 --> 00:51:36.880
<v Speaker 1>In the Dark Saul's world, there is a place called

960
00:51:37.000 --> 00:51:39.920
<v Speaker 1>Katarina where nights.

961
00:51:41.559 --> 00:51:44.559
<v Speaker 2>Different when.

962
00:51:45.159 --> 00:51:49.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, knights from this place often make their way into

963
00:51:50.239 --> 00:51:53.000
<v Speaker 1>whatever mischief is happening in the Dark Soul's world, and

964
00:51:53.320 --> 00:51:59.039
<v Speaker 1>one of them, Siegmaya of Katerina, is iconic known as

965
00:51:59.119 --> 00:52:02.519
<v Speaker 1>the Onion Knight, and he very much has this kind

966
00:52:02.599 --> 00:52:07.119
<v Speaker 1>of michelin Man style army set where it looks like

967
00:52:07.320 --> 00:52:12.920
<v Speaker 1>it's fat rolls are like visible in the armor. And yeah,

968
00:52:13.119 --> 00:52:17.159
<v Speaker 1>the the Katarina Knights appear frequently in the From Software games.

969
00:52:17.920 --> 00:52:21.119
<v Speaker 1>Siegmay is probably the most well known one, sitting outside

970
00:52:21.199 --> 00:52:22.039
<v Speaker 1>sends Fortress.

971
00:52:23.239 --> 00:52:25.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, remember seeing that dude first and just be like,

972
00:52:26.039 --> 00:52:27.719
<v Speaker 3>what who is this guy? But I think at that

973
00:52:27.800 --> 00:52:31.199
<v Speaker 3>point I'd already missed his first west line. But even

974
00:52:31.239 --> 00:52:33.280
<v Speaker 3>that was just like the mystique of who the fuck

975
00:52:33.400 --> 00:52:36.440
<v Speaker 3>is this? So good anyway, So listen, guys, no one's

976
00:52:36.440 --> 00:52:40.360
<v Speaker 3>gonna be able to take down old Bazuzo. He's the

977
00:52:40.480 --> 00:52:43.880
<v Speaker 3>thirty Man Slayer he's known as the bear slaughterer. There

978
00:52:43.920 --> 00:52:47.159
<v Speaker 3>ain't no one who can fucking touch Bazuzo. He kills bears,

979
00:52:48.400 --> 00:52:54.920
<v Speaker 3>or is there? Step forward a young Guts and Guts.

980
00:52:55.880 --> 00:52:59.039
<v Speaker 3>I not one hundred percent what age Goots is meant

981
00:52:59.079 --> 00:53:01.079
<v Speaker 3>to be at this point. I think in the anime

982
00:53:01.239 --> 00:53:02.960
<v Speaker 3>he does look a bit more adult than he looks

983
00:53:03.000 --> 00:53:05.880
<v Speaker 3>in the comic. Or then he he's I think he's

984
00:53:05.960 --> 00:53:08.760
<v Speaker 3>meant to be imployed like teenage years, like fifteen to seventeen,

985
00:53:08.840 --> 00:53:12.480
<v Speaker 3>somewhere about there. And the Guts is already a bit

986
00:53:12.559 --> 00:53:14.559
<v Speaker 3>of a menace with a sword. At this point, he

987
00:53:14.639 --> 00:53:19.559
<v Speaker 3>gets into a battle with Bizzuzo where he's able to

988
00:53:19.679 --> 00:53:22.960
<v Speaker 3>first splinter Bezuzzo's acts with a parry, and later on

989
00:53:23.119 --> 00:53:26.480
<v Speaker 3>when their two blows meat Bezuzo's acts shatters, he takes

990
00:53:26.519 --> 00:53:31.519
<v Speaker 3>one to the guts before Guts, I don't even try

991
00:53:31.599 --> 00:53:34.159
<v Speaker 3>and do That's that's what ten years of podcasting experience

992
00:53:34.199 --> 00:53:39.400
<v Speaker 3>will get you, folks. And before he takes them down,

993
00:53:39.760 --> 00:53:42.159
<v Speaker 3>which kind of signals that which is kind of the

994
00:53:42.400 --> 00:53:45.440
<v Speaker 3>turning point in this siege, And what that means basically

995
00:53:45.639 --> 00:53:48.119
<v Speaker 3>is that this castle, which has been held by for

996
00:53:48.320 --> 00:53:52.239
<v Speaker 3>three months is now going to fall. But we get

997
00:53:52.280 --> 00:53:55.199
<v Speaker 3>a shot from the perspective of the people defending the

998
00:53:55.280 --> 00:53:58.519
<v Speaker 3>castle and it's this mercenary outfit called the Band of Hawk,

999
00:53:59.000 --> 00:54:00.440
<v Speaker 3>and they're kind of looking at it and they're like

1000
00:54:01.320 --> 00:54:02.159
<v Speaker 3>this fucking guy.

1001
00:54:02.760 --> 00:54:02.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

1002
00:54:04.280 --> 00:54:06.880
<v Speaker 3>They mentioned about how you know, no one thought that

1003
00:54:06.960 --> 00:54:09.239
<v Speaker 3>they could defend the castle for three days, not even

1004
00:54:09.280 --> 00:54:11.400
<v Speaker 3>mine three months, but they kind of talked themselves and like,

1005
00:54:11.559 --> 00:54:13.440
<v Speaker 3>that's probably time to pull out. I think we're done here.

1006
00:54:13.639 --> 00:54:13.800
<v Speaker 3>You know.

1007
00:54:14.559 --> 00:54:17.280
<v Speaker 2>What did you think of seeing Griffith?

1008
00:54:19.360 --> 00:54:19.400
<v Speaker 6>Me?

1009
00:54:20.239 --> 00:54:23.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, remember they they came up to him and he's

1010
00:54:24.159 --> 00:54:28.440
<v Speaker 1>and then they mentioned him like on a different level,

1011
00:54:28.960 --> 00:54:32.599
<v Speaker 1>it's like a beautiful, like silver haired being.

1012
00:54:32.760 --> 00:54:32.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

1013
00:54:33.480 --> 00:54:35.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So my first thoughts on seeing Griffith was that's

1014
00:54:35.719 --> 00:54:38.199
<v Speaker 3>the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. And then he

1015
00:54:38.280 --> 00:54:42.000
<v Speaker 3>started talking and I was like, oh, well, life's complicated.

1016
00:54:42.440 --> 00:54:48.360
<v Speaker 1>He's also he's also holding a necklace of a weird,

1017
00:54:48.559 --> 00:54:50.000
<v Speaker 1>bulbous looking mouthy thing.

1018
00:54:50.599 --> 00:54:50.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

1019
00:54:51.920 --> 00:54:57.199
<v Speaker 5>That's why that's why my association was cemented where I

1020
00:54:57.320 --> 00:55:00.239
<v Speaker 5>was like, oh, right, you understand.

1021
00:55:00.599 --> 00:55:07.719
<v Speaker 3>Like all I'll say, Jeff, is that griff creature nose

1022
00:55:07.800 --> 00:55:12.199
<v Speaker 3>necklace like milk necklace. Alight, you heard what you want?

1023
00:55:12.239 --> 00:55:17.360
<v Speaker 2>To hear it. Yeah, what what do you y'all sell?

<v Speaker 1>be the word milf. But in the like logo font

1032
00:55:43.480 --> 00:55:46.559
<v Speaker 1>of the anime we're watching, love that.

1033
00:55:48.280 --> 00:55:52.519
<v Speaker 3>Oh milk and berserk font is one of the most

1034
00:55:52.639 --> 00:55:53.920
<v Speaker 3>first things I've ever thought of.

1035
00:55:54.760 --> 00:55:58.800
<v Speaker 2>Come on, let's go fan art people, Let's go. Yeah, oh,

1036
00:55:58.920 --> 00:56:01.440
<v Speaker 2>dear Steve project without a doubt.

1037
00:56:05.360 --> 00:56:07.719
<v Speaker 3>So you know, they have a little chat about Guts

1038
00:56:07.760 --> 00:56:08.880
<v Speaker 3>and like, you know what, we need to get out

1039
00:56:08.920 --> 00:56:14.079
<v Speaker 3>of here. Then outside the outside the fort, it's basically

1040
00:56:14.119 --> 00:56:16.480
<v Speaker 3>everyone's kind of clearing out there. The soldiers are accepting

1041
00:56:16.519 --> 00:56:21.199
<v Speaker 3>their pay and Guts gets his massive bonus for killing Bozuzo. Jeff,

1042
00:56:21.239 --> 00:56:23.440
<v Speaker 3>I want to offer my condolences. I know Bazuza is

1043
00:56:23.480 --> 00:56:25.239
<v Speaker 3>your favorite character. He ain't coming back.

1044
00:56:25.639 --> 00:56:26.119
<v Speaker 2>It's okay.

1045
00:56:26.639 --> 00:56:29.239
<v Speaker 5>Uh, you know, I enjoyed our time with with him,

1046
00:56:29.519 --> 00:56:32.880
<v Speaker 5>and uh, you know, all good memories. Yeah, everything good

1047
00:56:32.960 --> 00:56:33.920
<v Speaker 5>must end, I get it.

1048
00:56:34.039 --> 00:56:34.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

1049
00:56:34.679 --> 00:56:39.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And the guy in charge, Like the Night Captain

1050
00:56:39.559 --> 00:56:42.320
<v Speaker 3>is basically like, hey, kid, you should come work for me.

1051
00:56:42.599 --> 00:56:45.320
<v Speaker 3>What if you come under my employee? And Guts is

1052
00:56:45.360 --> 00:56:48.639
<v Speaker 3>like not interested. Fuck off. He's a mercenary. He doesn't

1053
00:56:48.679 --> 00:56:51.079
<v Speaker 3>have any allegiance. He's just doing this for money. But

1054
00:56:51.199 --> 00:56:53.599
<v Speaker 3>then there's a bit, and I think like it's a

1055
00:56:53.719 --> 00:56:56.360
<v Speaker 3>really in hindsight, like very kind of profound important bit

1056
00:56:56.480 --> 00:56:59.320
<v Speaker 3>where the Night Captain reaches for Goots and he like

1057
00:56:59.360 --> 00:57:01.119
<v Speaker 3>grabs him by the shoulder and he's just it's not

1058
00:57:01.199 --> 00:57:03.000
<v Speaker 3>even like a violent crab, it's just a hey, hang

1059
00:57:03.039 --> 00:57:04.679
<v Speaker 3>on there for a second. Let's let's have a talk

1060
00:57:04.679 --> 00:57:09.079
<v Speaker 3>about this. And Guts reacts really fucking badly. He does

1061
00:57:09.280 --> 00:57:11.239
<v Speaker 3>not want this person touching him and he says, don't

1062
00:57:11.280 --> 00:57:13.039
<v Speaker 3>touch me. Don't you ever touch me?

1063
00:57:14.480 --> 00:57:16.679
<v Speaker 2>And uh.

1064
00:57:16.920 --> 00:57:19.400
<v Speaker 3>After that he set on and we'll we'll we'll come

1065
00:57:19.440 --> 00:57:21.320
<v Speaker 3>back to that. But after that he sets off down

1066
00:57:21.400 --> 00:57:25.800
<v Speaker 3>a dirt dirt road where he is spotted once again

1067
00:57:26.159 --> 00:57:28.000
<v Speaker 3>by the band of the Hawk and they're like, there's

1068
00:57:28.039 --> 00:57:31.360
<v Speaker 3>that fucking guy who ruined our siege. And there's kind

1069
00:57:31.360 --> 00:57:33.119
<v Speaker 3>of this conversation like should we go get him, and

1070
00:57:33.159 --> 00:57:35.519
<v Speaker 3>they're like, well, he's not our enemy. Anymore. But then

1071
00:57:35.559 --> 00:57:38.559
<v Speaker 3>they think that, you know what, he probably has a

1072
00:57:38.639 --> 00:57:43.320
<v Speaker 3>nice fat purse from taking out Buzuzo. And they attack first.

1073
00:57:43.480 --> 00:57:46.719
<v Speaker 3>Corcus attacks, and let me tell you, Corcus is just

1074
00:57:46.840 --> 00:57:51.199
<v Speaker 3>the fucking asshole who does not quit. Fuck Corcus every

1075
00:57:51.320 --> 00:57:53.280
<v Speaker 3>goddamn scene this motherfucker is in.

1076
00:57:53.519 --> 00:57:56.280
<v Speaker 5>He is a piece of shit, just making the wrong

1077
00:57:56.360 --> 00:57:59.239
<v Speaker 5>decision m hm without even thinking about it.

1078
00:58:00.119 --> 00:58:01.880
<v Speaker 2>What a piece of ship mm hm.

1079
00:58:02.800 --> 00:58:07.159
<v Speaker 3>And so he's basically like, I'm gonna I'm gonna go,

1080
00:58:07.639 --> 00:58:10.039
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna go sort this guy out. And that's where

1081
00:58:10.119 --> 00:58:13.639
<v Speaker 3>we meet Kaska, my sweet girl.

1082
00:58:14.360 --> 00:58:16.039
<v Speaker 2>Oh I love this.

1083
00:58:16.639 --> 00:58:17.679
<v Speaker 3>I love her so much.

1084
00:58:17.880 --> 00:58:26.159
<v Speaker 5>She's cool, she seems cool. I'm into whatever cool you guys,

1085
00:58:26.280 --> 00:58:29.000
<v Speaker 5>I don't have anything tattoos.

1086
00:58:29.000 --> 00:58:30.719
<v Speaker 2>Wait, none, chef zero.

1087
00:58:32.119 --> 00:58:35.119
<v Speaker 3>I mean, Jeff, it's been two episodes.

1088
00:58:35.880 --> 00:58:38.199
<v Speaker 5>It's been two episodes that I watched this morning.

1089
00:58:38.679 --> 00:58:39.119
<v Speaker 2>I get it.

1090
00:58:39.719 --> 00:58:41.159
<v Speaker 3>So you've had the entire morning.

1091
00:58:43.440 --> 00:58:46.280
<v Speaker 2>Come back. You're right, What am I doing?

1092
00:58:46.840 --> 00:58:49.519
<v Speaker 4>God, he's gonna have drawn the brand on his neck brand?

1093
00:58:50.719 --> 00:58:54.559
<v Speaker 3>Hell yeah, there's something like there's something so hilarious about

1094
00:58:54.599 --> 00:58:57.320
<v Speaker 3>the ideas when drawing Jeff as goods and like, I'm

1095
00:58:57.360 --> 00:59:00.920
<v Speaker 3>specifically thinking the expression you have in your discordfile, Jeff.

1096
00:59:02.039 --> 00:59:10.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay, just the armor. Yeah, I'm pratice together for me

1097
00:59:11.239 --> 00:59:13.840
<v Speaker 2>real quick. I would if I could get if I

1098
00:59:14.119 --> 00:59:15.719
<v Speaker 2>if I went to get in a tattoo, I would

1099
00:59:16.119 --> 00:59:18.360
<v Speaker 2>think yet tattoo.

1100
00:59:19.880 --> 00:59:20.639
<v Speaker 3>Did you think you ever would?

1101
00:59:20.800 --> 00:59:28.280
<v Speaker 1>Muh, there's like cultural religious implications that are difficult to

1102
00:59:28.760 --> 00:59:30.599
<v Speaker 1>I would. I would think about getting one of those

1103
00:59:30.719 --> 00:59:35.559
<v Speaker 1>like fadeaway ones because like they lost, Yeah, they lost

1104
00:59:35.719 --> 00:59:39.320
<v Speaker 1>for like a few months and then they just fade away.

1105
00:59:39.800 --> 00:59:41.679
<v Speaker 3>When when I started getting tattoos, I know, it's like

1106
00:59:41.760 --> 00:59:43.599
<v Speaker 3>kind of a different thing. When I started getting tattoos,

1107
00:59:43.679 --> 00:59:46.239
<v Speaker 3>my mom just said, John, no, you look like an

1108
00:59:46.320 --> 00:59:50.239
<v Speaker 3>English criminal. She's got a point no, no no.

1109
00:59:50.480 --> 00:59:54.360
<v Speaker 4>So my mom was a lawyer and she when I

1110
00:59:54.440 --> 00:59:56.880
<v Speaker 4>started getting tattoos. I only have two. But like I said,

1111
00:59:56.880 --> 01:00:00.519
<v Speaker 4>I do have a tattoo. A pointment for Wednesday. Shout

1112
01:00:00.559 --> 01:00:04.840
<v Speaker 4>out to Ryan. I'm getting that Peanuts one. I'm getting

1113
01:00:06.159 --> 01:00:08.880
<v Speaker 4>the Lucy van Pelt saying I'm torn between the desire

1114
01:00:08.960 --> 01:00:10.440
<v Speaker 4>to create the desire to destroy.

1115
01:00:11.440 --> 01:00:12.119
<v Speaker 2>That's pretty cool.

1116
01:00:12.440 --> 01:00:12.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

1117
01:00:13.599 --> 01:00:15.400
<v Speaker 4>I when I told my mom that I had a tattoo,

1118
01:00:15.800 --> 01:00:18.440
<v Speaker 4>she sent me a very long uh what's that message?

1119
01:00:18.480 --> 01:00:21.519
<v Speaker 4>And my mum used to like work in prisons and stuff,

1120
01:00:21.599 --> 01:00:25.840
<v Speaker 4>and she was like, wow, all the people I used

1121
01:00:25.840 --> 01:00:29.079
<v Speaker 4>to defend and you know, prosecute, like they would all

1122
01:00:29.159 --> 01:00:32.199
<v Speaker 4>have tattoos. And I was like, are you trying to

1123
01:00:32.239 --> 01:00:34.039
<v Speaker 4>say that just because I got a tattoo, I'm gonna

1124
01:00:34.119 --> 01:00:36.280
<v Speaker 4>become a criminal now, And she was like, well, I'm

1125
01:00:36.320 --> 01:00:37.800
<v Speaker 4>not not saying yeah, okay.

1126
01:00:37.920 --> 01:00:39.559
<v Speaker 5>All right, Well I mean that's what happens. You get

1127
01:00:39.559 --> 01:00:42.880
<v Speaker 5>a tattoo, you start doing crimes. Everyone knows that I.

1128
01:00:43.280 --> 01:00:45.360
<v Speaker 3>Have done way more crimes since I got my first tattoo.

1129
01:00:47.360 --> 01:00:50.599
<v Speaker 2>I've done zero crimes and I have no tattoos. Not

1130
01:00:50.760 --> 01:00:53.440
<v Speaker 2>a coincidence that proves it. I've never done a crime.

1131
01:00:53.719 --> 01:00:56.119
<v Speaker 3>Like, let's go fucking let's go fucking kill this fool.

1132
01:00:56.320 --> 01:00:59.239
<v Speaker 3>And Kaska is like, Nope, you're gonna die, don't do it.

1133
01:00:59.360 --> 01:01:03.639
<v Speaker 3>And he's like I'm not. And he sets off with

1134
01:01:04.519 --> 01:01:07.639
<v Speaker 3>two people and they attack Guts. One immediately has their

1135
01:01:07.760 --> 01:01:10.239
<v Speaker 3>arm cut off. Do you know there immediately dies from

1136
01:01:10.320 --> 01:01:16.599
<v Speaker 3>Guts's massive sword, and then Corcus nearly dies before Griffith

1137
01:01:16.760 --> 01:01:22.679
<v Speaker 3>instructs Casca go save them, and he almost caucused it.

1138
01:01:23.840 --> 01:01:27.800
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, Lucy, keep going, keep going, Cask is.

1139
01:01:28.519 --> 01:01:30.760
<v Speaker 3>Caske puts up a decent fight against Guts, but she's

1140
01:01:30.800 --> 01:01:33.199
<v Speaker 3>immediately knocked off her horse in a really beautiful shot

1141
01:01:33.239 --> 01:01:35.679
<v Speaker 3>where he like, yeahs her helmet. I just love that

1142
01:01:35.719 --> 01:01:36.599
<v Speaker 3>little piece of animation.

1143
01:01:36.719 --> 01:01:41.000
<v Speaker 5>He's like, wait a minute, you're a girl, girl, is

1144
01:01:41.039 --> 01:01:41.440
<v Speaker 5>what I said.

1145
01:01:41.760 --> 01:01:45.639
<v Speaker 3>That's what he said. Ye, And everyone's like watching them

1146
01:01:45.679 --> 01:01:48.159
<v Speaker 3>fight and they're like, holy shit, this dude is keeping

1147
01:01:48.239 --> 01:01:50.840
<v Speaker 3>up with Caska. According to everyone else, Casket is the

1148
01:01:50.960 --> 01:01:54.440
<v Speaker 3>second strongest fighter. My camera just went brokeepron. Cask is

1149
01:01:54.480 --> 01:01:58.079
<v Speaker 3>the second strongest fighter next to Griffith in the Band

1150
01:01:58.159 --> 01:02:07.360
<v Speaker 3>of Hawk, and she does rock. She is not quite

1151
01:02:07.480 --> 01:02:10.920
<v Speaker 3>able to keep up with Guts, which is when Griffith appears,

1152
01:02:11.559 --> 01:02:14.800
<v Speaker 3>and everything about how Griffith is framed, everything about how

1153
01:02:14.840 --> 01:02:17.360
<v Speaker 3>the other characters react to him, you can tell this

1154
01:02:17.559 --> 01:02:20.519
<v Speaker 3>is the fucking guy, right, This is the dude who

1155
01:02:20.639 --> 01:02:24.519
<v Speaker 3>everyone loves, who everyone thinks is amazing, and he beats

1156
01:02:24.639 --> 01:02:28.960
<v Speaker 3>Guts in a second. He basically one slice, Guts goes down,

1157
01:02:29.199 --> 01:02:33.760
<v Speaker 3>it's over and during this so then basically Guts has

1158
01:02:33.880 --> 01:02:36.519
<v Speaker 3>this vision that he is naked and that a naked

1159
01:02:36.639 --> 01:02:41.840
<v Speaker 3>lady ise lying next to him, and this is where

1160
01:02:41.960 --> 01:02:48.719
<v Speaker 3>we get I guess a very abstracted version of goots past. Jeff,

1161
01:02:48.840 --> 01:02:54.480
<v Speaker 3>what was What was your feeling about this section? Definitely

1162
01:02:54.599 --> 01:02:59.840
<v Speaker 3>distracting with his like weird Kendall body. Yes, could not

1163
01:03:01.119 --> 01:03:04.119
<v Speaker 3>put that out of my mind right away. He's huffing

1164
01:03:04.920 --> 01:03:05.440
<v Speaker 3>and puffing.

1165
01:03:05.639 --> 01:03:07.719
<v Speaker 1>That is just just to be clear that as a

1166
01:03:07.800 --> 01:03:12.280
<v Speaker 1>consequence of like not censorship, but like ater ing stuff

1167
01:03:12.679 --> 01:03:14.920
<v Speaker 1>in the animey, it's he does he does have a dong.

1168
01:03:16.239 --> 01:03:20.199
<v Speaker 5>Oh, yeah, I wasn't like the message I received was

1169
01:03:20.320 --> 01:03:22.880
<v Speaker 5>not that he was like that, I get it. I

1170
01:03:23.119 --> 01:03:26.079
<v Speaker 5>just found that to be a thing I couldn't put

1171
01:03:26.159 --> 01:03:29.440
<v Speaker 5>out of my mind. And yeah, huffing and puffing running

1172
01:03:29.440 --> 01:03:32.840
<v Speaker 5>away from something. I'm trying to think what else I

1173
01:03:32.920 --> 01:03:38.440
<v Speaker 5>remember from that, But yeah, obviously my man's got shattered past,

1174
01:03:39.039 --> 01:03:44.679
<v Speaker 5>and I know that like they do these, I would

1175
01:03:44.719 --> 01:03:49.239
<v Speaker 5>imagine this is a thing where we are understanding whatever

1176
01:03:49.360 --> 01:03:52.760
<v Speaker 5>the four or five characters is like, there was there's

1177
01:03:52.800 --> 01:03:55.840
<v Speaker 5>a lot of like demonic imagery whenever we go into

1178
01:03:55.920 --> 01:03:57.840
<v Speaker 5>this dark place with our boy.

1179
01:03:57.719 --> 01:04:06.000
<v Speaker 3>Guts wakes up and he goes outside and immediately Caska

1180
01:04:06.239 --> 01:04:10.440
<v Speaker 3>punches him in his wound, making me fall in love

1181
01:04:10.519 --> 01:04:14.199
<v Speaker 3>with her for the rest of time. Yeah, I love

1182
01:04:14.360 --> 01:04:20.639
<v Speaker 3>Caska so so much. And it's revealed that that Griffith

1183
01:04:20.760 --> 01:04:25.239
<v Speaker 3>asked Caska to lay with guts and keep his body

1184
01:04:25.360 --> 01:04:28.159
<v Speaker 3>warm because that is the job of a woman thoughts.

1185
01:04:31.360 --> 01:04:35.920
<v Speaker 2>Ah ah, it's like.

1186
01:04:37.239 --> 01:04:39.920
<v Speaker 4>This kind of demeaning thing that Griffith does. And you

1187
01:04:40.039 --> 01:04:43.639
<v Speaker 4>will see the way that he kind of manipulates and

1188
01:04:43.719 --> 01:04:47.960
<v Speaker 4>keeps everyone in their place because he has a grand

1189
01:04:48.079 --> 01:04:51.119
<v Speaker 4>plan and a grand scheme and it's such a like

1190
01:04:51.239 --> 01:04:55.000
<v Speaker 4>it's you know, like the point that Casko's elevated within

1191
01:04:55.199 --> 01:04:57.760
<v Speaker 4>the band of the Hawk, and then he also is

1192
01:04:57.840 --> 01:05:01.760
<v Speaker 4>like going to demean her by giving her that up, Like, yeah,

1193
01:05:02.280 --> 01:05:04.960
<v Speaker 4>there's a there's a really, there's a really. There was

1194
01:05:04.960 --> 01:05:08.119
<v Speaker 4>a TikTok series of this older gentleman reading Berserk for

1195
01:05:08.159 --> 01:05:08.719
<v Speaker 4>the first time.

1196
01:05:09.239 --> 01:05:13.920
<v Speaker 3>Do you mean web MD sorry or sorry WebMD wed.

1197
01:05:15.079 --> 01:05:15.360
<v Speaker 2>Okay?

1198
01:05:15.840 --> 01:05:19.280
<v Speaker 4>And he had something like an incredible line to say

1199
01:05:19.280 --> 01:05:21.039
<v Speaker 4>about Griffith, and I think, John, we should hold it

1200
01:05:21.159 --> 01:05:21.880
<v Speaker 4>until we get there.

1201
01:05:22.000 --> 01:05:23.800
<v Speaker 3>Definitely hold it. Definitely hold it.

1202
01:05:24.480 --> 01:05:29.920
<v Speaker 4>But like Griffith is a character, Oh my god, I.

1203
01:05:29.960 --> 01:05:34.920
<v Speaker 3>Think he has he has such like such control over

1204
01:05:35.079 --> 01:05:37.480
<v Speaker 3>everyone around him, Like he's he's the kind of dude

1205
01:05:37.519 --> 01:05:39.239
<v Speaker 3>he shows up at a party, he is immediately the

1206
01:05:39.280 --> 01:05:41.920
<v Speaker 3>most popular person. Everyone kind of wants to talk to him. Jeff,

1207
01:05:41.920 --> 01:05:45.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna imagine, like I'm gonna ask you to try

1208
01:05:45.000 --> 01:05:47.000
<v Speaker 3>and conceptualize what it might like to be someone like

1209
01:05:47.039 --> 01:05:50.039
<v Speaker 3>to be to be cool. Yeah, like just someone people

1210
01:05:50.079 --> 01:05:51.440
<v Speaker 3>want to talk to him, be around and stuff.

1211
01:05:51.559 --> 01:05:54.280
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, okay, I've seen stuff I can drug.

1212
01:05:55.440 --> 01:05:59.519
<v Speaker 1>Here's time for your From software references of the way,

1213
01:06:01.079 --> 01:06:05.320
<v Speaker 1>we have two references her friends. The first is Kaska

1214
01:06:05.480 --> 01:06:11.079
<v Speaker 1>sleeping with or using her body to keep guts alive.

1215
01:06:12.159 --> 01:06:17.280
<v Speaker 1>Could be or interpretation. In Elden Ring, there is a

1216
01:06:17.440 --> 01:06:22.559
<v Speaker 1>group of people called the deathbed companions. You're most well known,

1217
01:06:23.719 --> 01:06:27.159
<v Speaker 1>you most well know fear the deathbed companion who the

1218
01:06:27.239 --> 01:06:33.159
<v Speaker 1>deathbed companions are effectively women who kind of lay by

1219
01:06:33.280 --> 01:06:34.119
<v Speaker 1>the side.

1220
01:06:34.000 --> 01:06:40.360
<v Speaker 3>Of noble people and use and get a deep buff right. Yeah. Yeah,

1221
01:06:40.360 --> 01:06:44.760
<v Speaker 3>I'm just saying she kind of games.

1222
01:06:45.519 --> 01:06:50.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so she like absorbs almost like life energy from

1223
01:06:50.400 --> 01:06:52.559
<v Speaker 1>those she lays with and can transfer it to like

1224
01:06:52.719 --> 01:06:55.840
<v Speaker 1>others to try and keep them alive and vigorous and

1225
01:06:55.920 --> 01:06:58.840
<v Speaker 1>that kind of stuff. So could be a deathbed companion

1226
01:06:58.960 --> 01:07:02.519
<v Speaker 1>thing happening there. And then the second one is Griffith

1227
01:07:02.800 --> 01:07:07.119
<v Speaker 1>is very popular because he's very charismatic and has the

1228
01:07:07.199 --> 01:07:11.920
<v Speaker 1>ability to almost control people around him with his charisma

1229
01:07:12.559 --> 01:07:16.119
<v Speaker 1>and make them be who he wants them to be,

1230
01:07:16.880 --> 01:07:21.079
<v Speaker 1>much like a certain Demi god called Kindly Mikola in

1231
01:07:21.440 --> 01:07:25.440
<v Speaker 1>Elder Ring, who has the same ability of using charisma

1232
01:07:25.960 --> 01:07:26.960
<v Speaker 1>to win people over.

1233
01:07:28.320 --> 01:07:32.719
<v Speaker 3>Thank you for your time, thank you tom So Immediately,

1234
01:07:32.840 --> 01:07:34.960
<v Speaker 3>someone who has not won over by Griffith is goods

1235
01:07:35.039 --> 01:07:38.039
<v Speaker 3>for He's like, you motherfucker, and he's like, let's fight

1236
01:07:38.400 --> 01:07:44.079
<v Speaker 3>right now. And Griffith's sponse is basically like, okay, but

1237
01:07:44.280 --> 01:07:46.880
<v Speaker 3>if I win, you got to join my band of mercenary.

1238
01:07:47.519 --> 01:07:51.360
<v Speaker 3>Gouts draws his sword rushes towards Griffith, and that's where

1239
01:07:51.360 --> 01:07:52.159
<v Speaker 3>we end the episode.

1240
01:07:54.159 --> 01:07:56.599
<v Speaker 2>Bam hm boom, what do you hold up?

1241
01:07:56.639 --> 01:07:57.000
<v Speaker 4>Hold up?

1242
01:07:57.199 --> 01:07:57.639
<v Speaker 7>What do you mean?

1243
01:07:58.920 --> 01:07:58.960
<v Speaker 4>No?

1244
01:07:59.440 --> 01:08:02.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think you all.

1245
01:08:04.119 --> 01:08:08.239
<v Speaker 5>You're you're consuming this media again, right, you.

1246
01:08:08.239 --> 01:08:09.639
<v Speaker 4>Have the context, We have the context.

1247
01:08:09.719 --> 01:08:11.519
<v Speaker 2>You have so much more context.

1248
01:08:11.679 --> 01:08:14.719
<v Speaker 3>Yeahyah, look we're teasing. I actually I have a favorative

1249
01:08:14.800 --> 01:08:18.000
<v Speaker 3>sympathy for Jeff in this situation because it is hard

1250
01:08:18.560 --> 01:08:21.239
<v Speaker 3>when you are viewing, when you're experiencing a piece of

1251
01:08:21.359 --> 01:08:26.000
<v Speaker 3>media and everyone already has their thirty thousand mile perspective

1252
01:08:26.119 --> 01:08:27.000
<v Speaker 3>opinion on it, right.

1253
01:08:27.159 --> 01:08:31.960
<v Speaker 5>Very difficult to put your isolated viewing of the thing

1254
01:08:32.159 --> 01:08:35.800
<v Speaker 5>in a box and sort of like, let's sit passenger,

1255
01:08:36.319 --> 01:08:40.199
<v Speaker 5>right while the three of you just dance around in

1256
01:08:40.319 --> 01:08:43.039
<v Speaker 5>this berserk party that I've not been invited to.

1257
01:08:43.520 --> 01:08:45.720
<v Speaker 3>Oh no, Jeff for inviting me in. You're welcome to

1258
01:08:45.760 --> 01:08:46.119
<v Speaker 3>the party.

1259
01:08:46.680 --> 01:08:47.239
<v Speaker 2>I'm in the party.

1260
01:08:47.279 --> 01:08:49.800
<v Speaker 3>I'll cast all about I'm in the party. I'd be

1261
01:08:49.880 --> 01:08:51.479
<v Speaker 3>so excited to see you as a private party. I

1262
01:08:51.520 --> 01:08:52.039
<v Speaker 3>didn't mean it.

1263
01:08:52.720 --> 01:08:54.560
<v Speaker 2>No, it's fine, No, it's totally fine.

1264
01:08:54.640 --> 01:08:59.680
<v Speaker 5>No, uh yeah, so understandably right, Like you guys like this, uh, this,

1265
01:09:00.079 --> 01:09:04.680
<v Speaker 5>this end of episode two rings much more prominent to

1266
01:09:04.920 --> 01:09:06.479
<v Speaker 5>the three of you than it does me. I'm just

1267
01:09:06.479 --> 01:09:08.600
<v Speaker 5>sort of like, all right, these two teenagers are gonna

1268
01:09:08.680 --> 01:09:10.039
<v Speaker 5>like slap fight whatever.

1269
01:09:10.239 --> 01:09:15.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, this dude in a twink. So yeah.

1270
01:09:15.880 --> 01:09:19.439
<v Speaker 1>I think a lot of this series is going to

1271
01:09:19.520 --> 01:09:22.399
<v Speaker 1>be that by the nature of it being a condensed

1272
01:09:22.560 --> 01:09:27.079
<v Speaker 1>version of Multiplocks from the manga. But yeah, I think

1273
01:09:27.319 --> 01:09:29.439
<v Speaker 1>what we're trying to do here is provide as much

1274
01:09:29.520 --> 01:09:33.920
<v Speaker 1>context around the things that are happening without spoiling stuff

1275
01:09:33.960 --> 01:09:36.520
<v Speaker 1>that is coming up, which is a tricky balance to.

1276
01:09:36.760 --> 01:09:37.760
<v Speaker 3>Strike for sure?

1277
01:09:38.880 --> 01:09:41.479
<v Speaker 2>Hell yeah, how did you feel about those two episodes? Overall?

1278
01:09:42.039 --> 01:09:42.600
<v Speaker 2>I feel good?

1279
01:09:42.960 --> 01:09:44.560
<v Speaker 5>You know. Maybe first one's a little more compelling, a

1280
01:09:44.600 --> 01:09:47.199
<v Speaker 5>little more action, a little more like intense.

1281
01:09:47.960 --> 01:09:49.039
<v Speaker 2>I get.

1282
01:09:50.359 --> 01:09:54.680
<v Speaker 5>The purpose of episode two. We're framing up some character

1283
01:09:54.760 --> 01:09:57.880
<v Speaker 5>development where we're trying to introduce you to what I

1284
01:09:57.920 --> 01:10:02.279
<v Speaker 5>would imagine be important characters here, and uh yeah, I'm

1285
01:10:02.319 --> 01:10:04.039
<v Speaker 5>here for it. I'm excited to see where it goes.
