[00:00:00] Hey y'all, this podcast contains cursing, references to alcohol, marijuana and other drugs,
[00:00:06] and thirsty comments about adult characters.
[00:00:08] Thanks for listening!
[00:00:22] Hey y'all, this is My Hero Analysis, a podcast about My Hero Academia, aka Boku No Hero
[00:00:29] Academia.
[00:00:30] We are three grown adults who mine Japanese children's cartoons for serotonin because
[00:00:34] God knows our brains aren't making it naturally.
[00:00:38] Hey y'all, I'm Fern.
[00:00:39] We took August off for a number of reasons.
[00:00:43] So it's like been a while since our last recording and A, I hope we remember how this works.
[00:00:50] I think we just, just, just yap into the mic as the youths would say.
[00:00:56] Perfect, perfect.
[00:00:57] That's what we do anyway.
[00:00:58] Also Maria comes to visit me soon and that's very exciting.
[00:01:02] She'll be here in a week.
[00:01:03] Yes.
[00:01:05] And we're all dying.
[00:01:06] Yes.
[00:01:09] Some of us more than others.
[00:01:11] I'm Nicole.
[00:01:12] I forgot how notes work and also the words and the thoughts because it was a month and
[00:01:21] if y'all have ADHD you know if you don't do something for more than three days, you
[00:01:25] forget it.
[00:01:26] It's gone.
[00:01:28] But at least we are finally in the Burr months and there are crunchy leaves in
[00:01:33] my backyard.
[00:01:34] So that's nice.
[00:01:36] But more importantly, apparently there is Twilight news.
[00:01:41] What?
[00:01:42] What?
[00:01:43] There's Twilight news.
[00:01:45] So Netflix has picked up the rights or whatever to do an animated series.
[00:01:54] So Edward is now going to be a cartoon character.
[00:01:57] Okay.
[00:01:58] It's in an adaptation of Midnight's Son.
[00:02:03] Sorry.
[00:02:04] Oh my God.
[00:02:07] What's so funny is that like the Twilight manga adaptations were incredibly popular
[00:02:13] but they went with Midnight's Son.
[00:02:15] Yeah.
[00:02:15] Oh my God.
[00:02:16] There must be some sort of legal thing.
[00:02:20] Legal nonsense going on.
[00:02:21] I'm sure it's going to be terrible and wonderful.
[00:02:26] I'm going to pirate that.
[00:02:27] I'm going to pirate that so hard.
[00:02:29] Yeah.
[00:02:31] I'm so ready.
[00:02:34] They just announced it, so it's probably not going to be for a while, but I want to see
[00:02:39] them put the Cullens and just do like a really bad glitter filter over them
[00:02:48] when the sun is out.
[00:02:51] Oh my God.
[00:02:51] Do you remember like the style of Chowder where like the characters would move
[00:02:55] but the patterns for like their clothes and stuff wouldn't?
[00:02:59] Yes.
[00:03:00] Yeah.
[00:03:01] I'm imagining that.
[00:03:03] Yeah.
[00:03:06] My God, it's going to be a mess.
[00:03:09] Yeah.
[00:03:10] Hey, all its Maria.
[00:03:11] I did not do my notes like at all.
[00:03:15] Yeah, she's winging this one and the one after this.
[00:03:19] I am so we'll see what we get.
[00:03:22] I watched the episodes and that's as far as I got.
[00:03:24] It's been an interesting time.
[00:03:28] Oh, yeah.
[00:03:29] I am tired.
[00:03:30] I am old.
[00:03:33] My brain hurts.
[00:03:35] My bones hurt.
[00:03:36] It's fine.
[00:03:38] It's September is are we expecting anything different?
[00:03:42] Honestly, right, right.
[00:03:44] I'm excited to go see Fern in all their glory.
[00:03:49] Yeah.
[00:03:50] I'm also planning.
[00:03:52] I might get a Friday the 13th tattoo where that's still a maybe.
[00:03:57] Yeah, do it.
[00:03:58] Do it.
[00:03:58] Do it.
[00:04:00] So I need to start seeing if there's any flashes going on.
[00:04:05] Oh, almost certainly.
[00:04:06] And you know we live like right next to a tattoo studio so I know.
[00:04:10] I'm excited.
[00:04:11] Oh yeah, you were there.
[00:04:13] We got a tattoo.
[00:04:15] We did.
[00:04:16] We did indeed.
[00:04:17] It's great.
[00:04:18] Everybody compliments me on it.
[00:04:20] Nice.
[00:04:21] People look at mine very weirdly.
[00:04:23] I think my 13th so the 13th tattoo on the 13th.
[00:04:27] Perfect.
[00:04:29] Yeah, you have to because I can't afford a tattoo right now.
[00:04:31] So I can't do one.
[00:04:32] So I need to live vicariously through you.
[00:04:36] But yeah, that's where we're at.
[00:04:40] Well, good on you for managing to show up today because that was a major feat.
[00:04:44] Yes.
[00:04:45] So on that note,
[00:04:47] do you have a recording snack because you deserve all the recording snacks?
[00:04:51] I do.
[00:04:52] I have chips and salsa like.
[00:04:56] And I'm eating it with chopsticks because I'm not getting.
[00:04:59] Getting it on my fingers just to stop giving me an egg.
[00:05:03] So.
[00:05:05] And I also randomly had a bottle of black.
[00:05:10] If anything shows you where I'm at in life, that is it.
[00:05:13] That'll fix you.
[00:05:14] I think that's a good idea.
[00:05:15] I think.
[00:05:15] Yeah.
[00:05:17] That'll fix everything wrong.
[00:05:20] All right. Well, we don't have any fan mail.
[00:05:23] Do we have any news?
[00:05:24] We, I mean, we kind of have news and it's kind of old news at this point.
[00:05:29] But for those of you in the know,
[00:05:32] the my hero academia manga has officially ended.
[00:05:36] It has finished its run and you can go listen to Fern and I break it down
[00:05:40] and also break down on catch the fuck up series.
[00:05:44] RIP.
[00:05:45] But because it has finished, I've also not watched the new anime like in weeks.
[00:05:51] So same.
[00:05:52] Same.
[00:05:54] I'm in mourning for the children.
[00:05:57] Oh man.
[00:05:58] It was a really, really good ending though.
[00:06:00] I liked it.
[00:06:01] I haven't watched it.
[00:06:02] I did see the ending.
[00:06:03] But it's funny.
[00:06:06] All of the people up in arms about it.
[00:06:08] And I'm like, it was a very adult ending.
[00:06:11] Like, yeah.
[00:06:13] Like, it was like,
[00:06:15] You can tell who's teenagers and who are not.
[00:06:17] Yeah. Yes. Exactly.
[00:06:19] It's like everybody's so upset by it.
[00:06:20] I'm like, why are you all upset?
[00:06:23] It was a satisfying ending.
[00:06:25] Yeah. I mean,
[00:06:26] it didn't wrap up every single teeny tiny plot thread, but.
[00:06:30] But that wasn't possible.
[00:06:34] Very true.
[00:06:35] Yeah. No, I mean, obviously, you know,
[00:06:37] we all have our little quibbles here and there about stuff that we
[00:06:40] would have liked to see, but yes.
[00:06:43] Overall, I think it was a very good ending that like stayed true
[00:06:47] to the themes of the series.
[00:06:49] Yeah. Yeah. Exactly.
[00:06:53] Poor youths.
[00:06:55] They're poor, they're poor, very bad media literacy.
[00:06:59] In some cases.
[00:07:00] They'll get there. They'll get there. They just need practice.
[00:07:02] Yeah.
[00:07:04] And also age because it's easier with a full brain.
[00:07:08] Yes.
[00:07:08] Yes, it is.
[00:07:11] Do I have a brain?
[00:07:12] Honestly, it's just mush at this point.
[00:07:15] Yep.
[00:07:15] Right. Oh my God. Okay.
[00:07:17] So this is a total non sequitur, but I recently found out that
[00:07:21] you know that study that is cited everywhere about how like
[00:07:24] your average adult brain is quote unquote fully developed by
[00:07:28] 25.
[00:07:29] Yeah. And it's bullshit.
[00:07:31] Apparently the research just stopped at age 25.
[00:07:36] They didn't look at anything further.
[00:07:38] That's not how you know it's grown.
[00:07:41] You don't just say, okay, we're done and leave the room.
[00:07:45] Oh man.
[00:07:45] Also, I mean, you know what counts as fully developed is
[00:07:49] hard to pin down because certain aspects of brain
[00:07:54] functioning are more developed when you're in childhood
[00:07:56] versus at an adult because that's when you need those
[00:07:59] skills versus others.
[00:08:00] So brain things, but yeah, age will still help though.
[00:08:05] Yes.
[00:08:05] Yes.
[00:08:06] With the media literacy you just, you just got to practice.
[00:08:08] You just got to read a lot.
[00:08:09] It's fine.
[00:08:11] And don't trust Tik Tok to give you all your news.
[00:08:16] No, no, no.
[00:08:17] Always double check the news if you get it on Tik Tok.
[00:08:21] Literally anything that sounds like a fact on Tik Tok,
[00:08:25] double check that shit.
[00:08:26] Oh yeah.
[00:08:26] Absolutely.
[00:08:29] Oh man.
[00:08:30] Oh Lord.
[00:08:31] Okay, but yeah, we've gotten completely off topic this week.
[00:08:35] We're covering episode 18 of my hero academia season four
[00:08:39] school festival, which in the manga is chapters one stick,
[00:08:43] six, nine nice and 170.
[00:08:46] So I'm going to lead us through a quick synopsis Maria.
[00:08:49] I'm guessing there's no science corner.
[00:08:51] No, no science in either of them.
[00:08:54] Yeah.
[00:08:54] Awesome.
[00:08:55] That makes sense.
[00:08:56] Then Nicole is going to jump on for discussion topics,
[00:09:00] manga differences and Easter eggs.
[00:09:02] And then we will wrap up the episode with our big spoiler
[00:09:04] section.
[00:09:06] So getting into the synopsis, the episode starts with Mina
[00:09:09] showing off some of her sweet ass dance moves.
[00:09:12] And then everyone wants to learn how to dance like her.
[00:09:15] And then we also learned from Dinky that Jiro is into music
[00:09:18] if we couldn't already tell that from the everything about
[00:09:22] her.
[00:09:22] Yeah.
[00:09:22] Yeah.
[00:09:23] Yeah.
[00:09:24] Also in this episode, there's a lot of cherry blossoms and
[00:09:27] cherry blossoms will always be Baku.
[00:09:30] I don't make the rules, but also this is really where we see
[00:09:35] the Dinky Momo Jiro thruple like really blossom and grow
[00:09:39] and become obvious.
[00:09:41] Mm hmm.
[00:09:43] So much biopanic by Jiro so much.
[00:09:47] She spends all of this arc just blushing.
[00:09:50] Yeah.
[00:09:51] Just blushing.
[00:09:51] Pretty much.
[00:09:52] How dare they do it to me.
[00:09:55] Mm hmm.
[00:09:56] So then we cut to class time and Izawa announces that there
[00:09:59] will be a school festival even though there have been a
[00:10:02] lot of villain attacks lately, but they're like look the
[00:10:05] kids look forward to this one thing.
[00:10:08] We can't take away the one thing they like to do.
[00:10:11] Yeah.
[00:10:12] So the kids brainstorm what to do for the festival.
[00:10:15] They come up with all these different ideas,
[00:10:17] but they can't decide on one.
[00:10:18] Right.
[00:10:20] Right.
[00:10:20] I'll also at one point, Kirishima was like,
[00:10:23] why are we doing this when everything about like our class is
[00:10:27] bad, but like honey?
[00:10:29] It's not all about you, my darling Kirishima.
[00:10:33] Yeah, it is a security risk.
[00:10:35] But also you just close the gates.
[00:10:39] You'll be fine.
[00:10:41] Supposedly.
[00:10:42] Supposedly.
[00:10:43] We'll get to it.
[00:10:44] Yeah, actually.
[00:10:46] And then I saw at one point says that was a highly unproductive
[00:10:50] meeting and that is just all meetings ever.
[00:10:53] I don't know.
[00:10:55] No, no meetings are necessary.
[00:10:57] Just email.
[00:10:59] Also apparently they don't know what a fun house is and
[00:11:02] like do they not have carnivals or state fairs or like the
[00:11:07] equivalent of state fairs in Japan?
[00:11:09] Like I've seen references to like horror houses and animal
[00:11:14] horror.
[00:11:15] I don't think they have fun houses.
[00:11:17] Yeah, maybe that's just not a thing.
[00:11:20] That's sad.
[00:11:21] I want a bouncy house.
[00:11:23] Yes.
[00:11:24] I like the on the mirror houses.
[00:11:26] Those are always fun.
[00:11:26] Yes.
[00:11:27] Yes.
[00:11:27] I like watch.
[00:11:28] I like watching the little toddlers try to proceed
[00:11:31] through the mirror houses and fail.
[00:11:33] They just keep running into the walls.
[00:11:35] It's great.
[00:11:36] Yeah.
[00:11:37] I want to take a Japanese person to the North Carolina state fair
[00:11:40] now.
[00:11:41] Yeah, I feel like they would have a really good time.
[00:11:43] Yeah, all that food.
[00:11:45] Yeah.
[00:11:46] Giant drumsticks.
[00:11:48] The diabetes.
[00:11:53] All the rides that no one rides because they're fucking
[00:11:55] dangerous.
[00:11:57] They'll be like you guys think this is fun and we're like,
[00:12:00] yeah, yeah, just drink more.
[00:12:02] We're good.
[00:12:05] Just eat more.
[00:12:06] Drink more alcohol like smoke a blunt.
[00:12:08] The fun will kick in soon.
[00:12:10] Yeah, yeah.
[00:12:11] You just can't think about it.
[00:12:13] Yep.
[00:12:14] So that night in the dorms, the kids are together.
[00:12:17] They watch some online videos and this gives them the idea
[00:12:21] to do like a dance slash musical performance with the aim
[00:12:25] of making the other students happier and less stressed
[00:12:28] because the other courses are also suffering because of
[00:12:31] the villain attacks and they're starting to kind of
[00:12:34] resent the hero kids, which we will definitely discuss in
[00:12:37] the next episode.
[00:12:38] Don't you worry.
[00:12:40] Wolffuckers.
[00:12:42] So Jiro agrees to write a song after much encouragement,
[00:12:46] a lot of encouragement quote unquote.
[00:12:51] And in the background, we see that the online video ends
[00:12:54] and a new one starts playing automatically, which gives
[00:12:58] us a brief tease of the upcoming quote unquote villain
[00:13:01] quote unquote.
[00:13:03] Yes.
[00:13:04] But also show toe that poor sweet child, he steps forward to
[00:13:10] like call up a video of what he's thinking and he says,
[00:13:13] I don't know what it's called exactly.
[00:13:15] But when he pulls it up, it's a very generic video of a
[00:13:18] concert and like honey, sweetie, my darling.
[00:13:22] It doesn't have a boy is very sheltered.
[00:13:25] He is so deprived.
[00:13:28] That's so sad.
[00:13:29] Let him go to a rain.
[00:13:31] Yes.
[00:13:32] So the next day, airy is finally stable enough for
[00:13:36] visitors.
[00:13:37] So you do go and Mario go to see her and airy of course feels
[00:13:40] responsible for everything that happened.
[00:13:42] And even though Mario and he's who do their best to reassure
[00:13:46] her, like she still can't even smile like she's still,
[00:13:49] she's really, really in it.
[00:13:51] And he's who.
[00:13:52] Yeah.
[00:13:53] He recognizes like the suffering that she's still
[00:13:56] processing and he really, really wants to cheer her up.
[00:13:59] So he asks I saw her for permission to take her to the
[00:14:03] festival and he vows internally to make her smile at the
[00:14:07] festival.
[00:14:08] Because he's a dork.
[00:14:09] So sweet.
[00:14:11] Yeah.
[00:14:11] And at the beginning of the visit, they say we brought you
[00:14:14] some treats and it's just a basket of fruit.
[00:14:17] And I know that that is a Japanese culture thing.
[00:14:20] And I accept that, but also the chocolate, my guy.
[00:14:25] Cookies, brownies, something, not just apples.
[00:14:28] Well, okay.
[00:14:29] So it is fruit, but it's specifically fruit because fruit is
[00:14:33] healthy and since they're in the hospital, they want,
[00:14:36] it's kind of showing that you want them to be healthy.
[00:14:39] Sure. Yeah.
[00:14:40] Then that's very nice.
[00:14:41] But also you could dip the apples in chocolate.
[00:14:46] Or something.
[00:14:48] I don't like.
[00:14:49] Don't ever bring it.
[00:14:50] Nicole fruit as a gift.
[00:14:53] Unless that fruit is a Snickers apple from the Rocky
[00:14:57] Mountain.
[00:14:57] Chocolate company or whatever it's called.
[00:14:59] Those are fucking delicious and I will love you forever.
[00:15:02] Anyway,
[00:15:03] Oh, it's so good.
[00:15:06] Also at one point,
[00:15:07] is a is leaning against the door frame and he's doing it very
[00:15:10] sexually and I had very many feelings about it.
[00:15:14] And I'm mad at him.
[00:15:15] He's so father.
[00:15:16] Oh, so much.
[00:15:18] So then we cut to a police station where we learned that
[00:15:21] the new villain has.
[00:15:26] Uploaded a video of himself and his partner,
[00:15:29] robbing a convenience store and then being interrupted by
[00:15:32] heroes.
[00:15:33] Then the video cuts to all of the hero.
[00:15:35] Heroes mysteriously defeated.
[00:15:38] And this villain introduces himself as gentle criminal and
[00:15:42] his partner is La Brava.
[00:15:44] And first of all, real quick, it's called Yap tube.
[00:15:48] Not you too.
[00:15:49] Love it.
[00:15:50] But more importantly,
[00:15:52] I hate his stupid fake accent.
[00:15:56] His stupid cloak, his stupid stupidness.
[00:15:59] Like he says his motivation is to be written in the annals of
[00:16:03] history.
[00:16:03] You're bullshit.
[00:16:05] No.
[00:16:06] I see through you GC and your bitch.
[00:16:09] And I will never like you.
[00:16:10] I love you.
[00:16:12] I hate him so much.
[00:16:14] You hate him also.
[00:16:17] Can you guys hear what's going on in the background?
[00:16:19] Nope.
[00:16:20] Okay, perfect.
[00:16:21] Oh, wait.
[00:16:22] Just heard a tiny bit.
[00:16:25] There's some screaming going on in the background.
[00:16:27] Yeah.
[00:16:28] Want to get in the shower.
[00:16:30] Oh, that's fair.
[00:16:32] That's fair.
[00:16:32] The shower sucks.
[00:16:34] Yeah.
[00:16:34] Yeah.
[00:16:35] We feel your struggle, tiny child.
[00:16:37] Yep.
[00:16:38] Anyway, I hate gentle criminal and his motivation is nothing.
[00:16:42] We'll get to it.
[00:16:45] I love him.
[00:16:46] We love gentle criminal.
[00:16:48] I do too.
[00:16:50] I love him.
[00:16:52] I love him so much.
[00:16:54] I just think he's funny.
[00:16:56] He's nothing.
[00:17:00] Also, he's a total wife guy as he should be.
[00:17:03] That's his one redeeming factor that he really loves his wife.
[00:17:07] So we cut to a rooftop after the robbery and the video isn't
[00:17:12] getting very many views.
[00:17:14] And gentle criminal realizes this is because he needs to do
[00:17:16] something way more audacious than a robbery if he wants to go viral.
[00:17:20] Yeah, it's not getting views because you cut out all the good
[00:17:24] stuff.
[00:17:25] You dumbass.
[00:17:26] Also, you deserved that hot tea in your eyeball.
[00:17:30] Dumbass.
[00:17:32] Oh, we'll get to that.
[00:17:35] We'll get to that.
[00:17:36] So some moments of note.
[00:17:37] First of all, Mina's dance moves in the beginning of the
[00:17:40] episode are phenomenal.
[00:17:43] Amazing.
[00:17:43] Mina get it.
[00:17:45] She has absurd core strength.
[00:17:48] I'm a little bit terrified of her.
[00:17:51] But I also love that Izuku was just like awful at dancing with
[00:17:55] the caveat that when he's explicitly trying to, because his
[00:17:59] fighting footwork tells a complete other story, but he just
[00:18:02] can't transfer that skill to different situations.
[00:18:06] Yeah, yeah.
[00:18:06] It's the ADHD.
[00:18:08] It's like when you do something subconsciously, it works
[00:18:11] great.
[00:18:11] But if you try to do that thing, you fail and it's not working.
[00:18:17] Dance is one of my special interests.
[00:18:19] So I can't fail at dancing.
[00:18:21] Oh.
[00:18:23] Yeah.
[00:18:25] You dance for like a really long time.
[00:18:28] Yeah.
[00:18:28] I think it was like six years.
[00:18:32] I remember that.
[00:18:33] That's fun.
[00:18:35] Also again, we got to bring up Jiro getting all flustered
[00:18:39] whenever one of her crushes compliments her.
[00:18:41] She's so cute.
[00:18:42] She's adorable.
[00:18:45] And then Eda was pretty down for the maid cafe suggestion.
[00:18:50] And like, you just know that if they had chosen it, he would
[00:18:52] have fully leaned into it, like the outfit, everything.
[00:18:56] He would have made everyone get customer service training.
[00:18:59] The works.
[00:19:00] Yes.
[00:19:00] Yes.
[00:19:00] He would be down.
[00:19:01] He's, he would be into it, but also he would not grasp
[00:19:04] any of the possible sexual connotations that come
[00:19:07] out of it.
[00:19:08] So he would have done the maid cafe.
[00:19:09] None whatsoever.
[00:19:10] He would have been like, excuse you.
[00:19:12] This is my uniform.
[00:19:13] How dare you get handsy with me?
[00:19:15] You will respect the uniform.
[00:19:19] Oh, that would have been a great.
[00:19:22] As good as a, as a concert could be.
[00:19:26] They should have done the maid cafe. I'm sorry.
[00:19:28] I would like to see like a reverse maid cafe with all the
[00:19:32] Yes.
[00:19:32] Yes.
[00:19:33] Exactly.
[00:19:34] And that's what Eda would have done.
[00:19:36] He's like, I don't, he like would not understand that it's just
[00:19:40] for the girls.
[00:19:42] So everybody's getting the maid outfit.
[00:19:44] Everyone's doing it out there regardless of gender.
[00:19:49] And then Mina would have been like, ooh, so all the girls get
[00:19:51] to wear suits and ties.
[00:19:54] Kirishima would be super duper into it.
[00:19:57] Oh yeah.
[00:19:58] Dinky would be into it after he quit saying no homo.
[00:20:02] Right.
[00:20:05] So I would do it.
[00:20:07] Sato, Sato, Shouji wouldn't care, which is do it.
[00:20:09] Whatever. Just another, just another weekend.
[00:20:12] Yep.
[00:20:12] Kosaki would fucking hate it.
[00:20:14] Oh yeah.
[00:20:14] Oh yeah.
[00:20:15] Be the growling.
[00:20:18] He'd be super duper popular and that'd be like 80% of the reason
[00:20:22] he hates it.
[00:20:24] Yep.
[00:20:25] And Izuku would.
[00:20:28] Be beat red the entire time.
[00:20:29] Oh yeah, and he would always be trying to tug his skirt down. Yep. Yep and dropping things. Yep. Oh
[00:20:38] God um also
[00:20:40] There's this one point where Sato is imagining shoto and Patsuki disco dancing during their remedial training
[00:20:47] And I want that too. I need it. I need a whole episode. Yes. Yeah, I love that
[00:20:54] He's just like the Sato is king. Yes
[00:20:57] Yes
[00:21:00] Amazing and then when Izuku is visiting airy in the hospital the little outfit
[00:21:05] He's wearing like the Caprice with his high top shoes just makes him look extra baby
[00:21:11] Like his it shortens his legs. It makes him look even shorter than he is and it's just so adorable
[00:21:16] He's just a little baby broccoli boy
[00:21:19] He's just a baby. He baby just a baby. Oh, no my fifth fill asleep. Oh, no
[00:21:26] That's the worst feeling. Oh god my butt's too big. Okay, we're good
[00:21:33] Amen
[00:21:34] And then so I have a different opinion than Nicole
[00:21:39] I actually think that gentle criminals video editing skills are pretty good
[00:21:43] And I think cutting out the fight was a pretty slick move. Yeah, because as far as the
[00:21:50] I'm like the people actually taking him seriously are concerned that's really kind of scary like the element of mystery
[00:21:58] Causes its own form of anxiety. Like what the fuck? How did he do that? No, he is keeping his
[00:22:04] Quirk a secret exactly exactly so they don't know who to send out to
[00:22:10] Fight him like they don't know who the best match would be sure sure and I agree with all that on a law enforcement side
[00:22:17] But from the view of the casual youtube viewer
[00:22:21] He sucks and it's stupid. He like cut he cut out all the action and it just kind of looks staged now
[00:22:28] Um, I guess but also like they they can very easily verify that it was a real incident
[00:22:34] Right, but it's still it looks it looks like
[00:22:39] Whatever action there might have been
[00:22:41] Was no action at all like they if they are cynical skeptics like me
[00:22:46] They'd be like, mmm. He just had like a blow dart with sedatives and it wasn't actually that big of a deal
[00:22:53] And so therefore he sucks
[00:22:56] Thank you your bias against gentle criminal is showing
[00:23:00] I'm very biased. Yes. I will
[00:23:03] He is the drama
[00:23:05] He is
[00:23:06] But then like the cut scenes or the way that something would like fade into the background or like fade out of it
[00:23:11] Like there was some pretty like labrava's video editing skills are
[00:23:15] Very good. Yes. She is amazing and she is the moment her gentle on the other hand it no
[00:23:23] Stupid I hate him. You're so biased and it's so funny. I hate him so much and I
[00:23:30] Lately admit my bias. I love it. I love it never stop
[00:23:35] All right, well that's it for the episode
[00:23:38] Yep, and we don't have any science because there's no science for a gentle criminal. He's just stupid
[00:23:44] anyway
[00:23:45] Um, we're gonna move along to discussion topics. We only have one for this episode and it is poor sweet baby airy's
[00:23:53] survivor's guilt. Yeah, first of all
[00:23:55] Oh my poor baby
[00:23:59] My poor girl she's suffering
[00:24:02] Oh god
[00:24:02] But then also like when merio was like kind of talking her through her feelings and everything
[00:24:08] At one point he says the phrase there's no use in apologizing to someone who doesn't exist
[00:24:13] Like he's referencing the fact that she's she feels bad that people made sacrifices for her
[00:24:19] He's like well those people were happy to make sacrifices for you
[00:24:23] So this image you have in your head of people who are mad at you doesn't exist like at all like
[00:24:29] You're angry at something you're imagining
[00:24:33] Um, or you're afraid of something you're imagining and when I first watched this episode
[00:24:39] mind blowing
[00:24:40] Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah, and I my only comment is that is your religious trauma my darling
[00:24:45] Oh, that's so much more than the religious trauma. I know
[00:24:55] Oh man, but yeah, I thought that was a very well
[00:24:59] Well, I don't know what the original phrase was but as far as translation choices go
[00:25:04] Yes, I think that was very elegantly phrased. Yes. It was a very well-spoken moment for merio. Mm-hmm. Also very merio
[00:25:14] yes
[00:25:15] Like he's a goober but he has some brain cells working in there. Yeah, that's very much is
[00:25:22] Izuku shoto and back ago together. Oh, yeah. Yeah, but also that's not hard when it comes to processing his trauma. Yes
[00:25:29] Yes, he just he just has that mindset where he just sees things clearly and it's uh
[00:25:36] It must be amazing. Hmm. See I'm very like um
[00:25:39] Self-aware. Mm-hmm. No, I just go with it
[00:25:43] Yep. Yep. I had to cultivate that skill as well
[00:25:46] Um, but I also like that Izuku was able to recognize like what's essentially PTSD without having like the kind of terminology or
[00:25:54] educational background
[00:25:56] That we do and it really shows that
[00:25:59] You know education aside there are still ways to recognize
[00:26:04] What people are going through and help them? Yes. Yeah, he really said oh, she's adorable. Oh, she's traumatized
[00:26:12] Yeah
[00:26:14] Poor baby airy. Oh, that's airy. Yep. All right, so
[00:26:25] First page of the chapter is a full color
[00:26:28] Like cover page of ua raka kind of in an altered hero suit and we're going to get to it in the big spoiler section
[00:26:35] So just put a pin in that
[00:26:38] Um in the manga su actually does not enlist sato's help in tying manetta up in the manga like she does in the dub
[00:26:48] Uh, but he is still terrified and impressed as he should be
[00:26:51] Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Correct decision su just just get him out of the way. Yep
[00:26:56] And then uh, ahakura actually suggests a haunted house instead of a fun house and ita and or the students
[00:27:04] Also don't know what haunted house means and oh sweet babies. Come on. Oh, have you never watched a showjo? Come on
[00:27:11] Come on. Come on guys. It's very it's a very big part of the showjo's and also all of culture
[00:27:20] Uh
[00:27:21] Also, uh kiris
[00:27:23] Deku's and bakugos like they had their little moments where they suggest they made their suggestions and it was actually shown
[00:27:30] in the anime
[00:27:32] But they were only on the blackboard list in the manga so they like added those in for them
[00:27:38] I should have listed what everyone suggested
[00:27:40] Yeah, but I forgot but it it's okay because they were all
[00:27:44] Varying levels of silly and I'm pretty sure kirishima's was like an arm wrestling contest. Yes. Yes, it was
[00:27:50] Well, it's bakugos like a fight to the death or something. Yes. Yes, exactly. Yeah. Oh my god
[00:27:56] um and izuku's was like
[00:27:59] Uh hero trivia quiz or lecture. Oh my god. I was gonna suggest powerpoint representation
[00:28:07] It probably would have involved the powerpoint. Yes
[00:28:10] Oh, they're so typical
[00:28:13] Oh little goobs. All right, and then and then for chapter 170
[00:28:18] Uh, they actually added a fifth hero to the crew who tried to stop gentle criminal in the anime
[00:28:23] Like there were four in the manga and there's five in the anime stupid
[00:28:29] Also, they actually added gentle criminal burning himself with the tea in the anime and this was the correct choice
[00:28:38] Yes. Oh my god, sir. He was pouring that tea for a y-goal and it was still why sir
[00:28:45] I don't understand
[00:28:47] That's not how you pour anything first of all, you're so stupid
[00:28:52] That's something I would do
[00:28:54] It's like a visual gag. It was amazing. I loved it
[00:28:57] But it was absurd
[00:28:59] I hate them
[00:29:00] Uh, all right. Well for easter eggs
[00:29:05] Awayama being salty about Mina like trouncing him
[00:29:09] Uh in like their previous interactions during training it becomes extra tragic in the trader arc
[00:29:16] Which I guess is officially not part of the big spoilers anymore because it's now been out
[00:29:23] In sub and also out in the english dub for weeks now
[00:29:28] So like if if you don't know what the trader arc has in like is
[00:29:34] I'm gonna need you to catch up a little bit
[00:29:37] You're more behind than I am. Yeah. Yeah, I think we're still considering it
[00:29:41] The big spoiler just to yeah, that's why I kind I didn't like go full on but I'll
[00:29:48] Come on folks. Yeah just to be safe
[00:29:52] And then at one point as I was talking about all the other courses at UA and how they really like the school festival
[00:29:59] And he says don't forget the business course and really folks
[00:30:02] Don't forget the business course. They actually become important. I guess
[00:30:08] Yep
[00:30:10] Oh, all right. And now moving along to the actual big spoilers section
[00:30:14] So if you're not caught up on all of the manga by it, we love you, but also go read it. It's great
[00:30:22] And then go listen to our cash to fuck up episodes. Yes and yes
[00:30:27] So Uraq is costume so basically
[00:30:30] The start of this chapter just had art of her costume presumably how it might be altered in the future
[00:30:37] And now that we have the flash forward of class a's like actual adult hero costumes
[00:30:43] Her costume is nothing like this badass art that we got in this chapter like what
[00:30:49] Why why did they just forget this art? Why did they not use this art?
[00:30:55] It was great and her costume while still great is kind of boring now
[00:31:00] What we could have had
[00:31:02] I think if i'm not mistaken, Urako. She's drawn like many different versions of Ochaako's suit
[00:31:09] Yes, I think he's he he just he does what he wants
[00:31:12] Yes, but also
[00:31:14] Also, he could have done less work for himself if he had just used this
[00:31:19] Yeah, well, maybe it was like harder to animate or something. I guess but also sir
[00:31:25] remember your
[00:31:27] Well, you know, she's only been a hero for like what was it five years by the time they graduate
[00:31:35] Five or six years. So yeah, she's got time. She's got a few more
[00:31:39] No, because she's doing all the outreach with the children now
[00:31:43] She can still fight crime and do that. That's like a six-week tour that she's doing. It's fine
[00:31:51] How dare she do meaningful work and not just punch people with rocks
[00:31:56] She'll do both. I promise she better. All right. Well, that's it
[00:31:59] I will stop moaning about what we could have had and how stupid gentle criminal is
[00:32:04] Do y'all have other final comments?
[00:32:07] I can't wait to record the next episode right away and hear more of your bitching about gentle criminal
[00:32:13] I'm so excited. This is so much fun for us
[00:32:19] It really is
[00:32:20] I'm glad I am able to provide that but also if any of you folks out there listening genuinely like gentle criminal, you're wrong
[00:32:30] You're wrong. Your opinion is wrong, but also valid
[00:32:33] But it's gonna be like you I thought you were gonna say your opinion isn't valid
[00:32:40] No, it is valid. It is just wrong
[00:32:47] Anyway, anyway, this has been my hero analysis
[00:32:50] You'll hear us again soon and in the meantime go beyond plus ultra and thirst responsibly
[00:32:56] As long as it's not for a gentle criminal
[00:32:59] Bye y'all
[00:33:00] Oh motherfucker
[00:33:02] Well, at least I got to the end of the episode before my wires all tangled themselves. You're still recording. I know. I know
