Manga by Amemiya, Kento
This is pretty much Bleach, Dandadan, JuJutsu Kaisen, Persona 3, Phantom Seer…

[00:00:16] Welcome to Shonen Flop, Shibby!
[00:00:17] First impressions many episode where we talk about the first chapter of the series will be
[00:00:21] covering in depth next week with our guest, Jamil Bridges.
[00:00:25] I'm Jordan and with me today as usual, is my lovely co-host David.
[00:00:28] Say hi, David!
[00:00:29] Hi, David.
[00:00:30] We're trying to say hi, David.
[00:00:31] But David, you only have one alternate voice that you do as I pointed out.
[00:00:36] It's like Grizzled David.
[00:00:38] Punish David.
[00:00:40] Yeah.
[00:00:40] He didn't hook a shit for really.
[00:00:41] You are a vocabulary of the human race with that one.
[00:00:45] But what series are we covering this week?
[00:00:47] Punish David.
[00:00:48] This week.
[00:00:49] What is this during some sort of Shadow Eliminator?
[00:00:52] David, we're here to eliminate fucking shadows.
[00:00:55] God, I don't want to weigh a bunch of lights.
[00:00:57] God, that is...
[00:00:58] Yeah.
[00:00:59] That's just...
[00:01:01] Someone doesn't speak English very well, trying to remember what a lamp is called.
[00:01:05] Yeah.
[00:01:05] How do I get rid of these shadows?
[00:01:08] Dang!
[00:01:08] Oops, all shadows.
[00:01:10] Oops.
[00:01:10] Okay, a night time.
[00:01:12] You turn out the lights to David.
[00:01:13] It's just shadows.
[00:01:14] That is true.
[00:01:15] Also, you can't see shadows if you close your eyes.
[00:01:17] Prote.
[00:01:17] Hey.
[00:01:18] Oh, dang.
[00:01:19] How would deal with my fear of bears?
[00:01:21] If you can't see them, they can't see you.
[00:01:23] Yeah.
[00:01:24] Okay, so Jordan tells about this.
[00:01:25] Give us the market details, big guy.
[00:01:28] So this is Shadow Eliminators by Amamiya Kento.
[00:01:32] It ran from December 4th, 2023 to April 22nd, 2024.
[00:01:38] 21 chapters, 3 volumes.
[00:01:41] So, so close to the United.
[00:01:42] Almost you 19.
[00:01:44] Am I right?
[00:01:44] It seemed like they only had 19 chapters on the Shonen Jump app.
[00:01:47] Is this a situation where they released two like Epolog chapters?
[00:01:51] I guess so, because it's just the malice 21 chapters.
[00:01:55] As always, Maxi B.R.Axford will let us know the scoop in the main episode,
[00:01:58] but I just want to know what malice did.
[00:02:00] Yeah.
[00:02:00] Yeah, there's only 19 chapters on the Shonen Jump app.
[00:02:02] So I'm assuming that's what it is.
[00:02:04] I'm assuming in like the full volume release.
[00:02:05] There's like two extra chapters like they do with build king.
[00:02:08] Anyway, let's figure out what the fuck happened to this chapter.
[00:02:12] Yeah.
[00:02:13] Yeah, y'all, I'm a Kazay.
[00:02:15] Yeah, y'all.
[00:02:16] Yeah, there were a couple things that reminded me of fandoms here.
[00:02:19] God, yeah.
[00:02:19] Because like, fandoms here at home.
[00:02:22] Which is already chitchue to guys in a home.
[00:02:24] Oh, God.
[00:02:25] Torrible.
[00:02:26] Which chitchue to guys in was already chainsaw man at home.
[00:02:28] I went there.
[00:02:30] Boom.
[00:02:32] This series has fallen off an absolutely cliff in quality.
[00:02:35] Oh, really?
[00:02:37] Yeah, chitchue to guys in this new legitimately not very good right now.
[00:02:40] That's so sad.
[00:02:42] Yeah, it's very, this offer really doesn't like his series.
[00:02:45] I want her series and my people, anyway.
[00:02:46] Yes, sorry.
[00:02:46] Let's get back to the plot summary from the top.
[00:02:49] Yeah, yeah, you're a Azacaze aka Mr. Justice
[00:02:52] This is the Vice Chairman of the Public Morals Committee at his high school and the biggest
[00:02:57] Nark you've ever seen in your fucking life while standing at the gate and closing it to
[00:03:02] Make sure that late kids get punished and locked out of school.
[00:03:05] Which is such a dick-fucking move.
[00:03:08] Oh, you're a little late.
[00:03:09] Now you're going to get in trouble for skipping school.
[00:03:12] Fuck you.
[00:03:12] A guy named Alba Kuro-Mori hops over it.
[00:03:16] Mr. Justice calls him out on his tardiness as well as being extremely wet for some reason.
[00:03:21] When a girl remembers seeing him hop into a pool to retrieve a handkerchief that some other girl lost,
[00:03:26] he also is a weird mark on his neck which he says he bears for a noble reason and it's actually not a cool tattoo.
[00:03:32] Alba doesn't really care about all these rules because he's only at the high school to train him.
[00:03:37] He's just there for his training arm, Chuchu.
[00:03:39] Just this guy decides to stalk him to make sure he follows the rules when he runs into Fuhyunah,
[00:03:45] a teacher at the school who's getting tormented by some of her students.
[00:03:49] Ah, David, kids are the fucking worst.
[00:03:51] Am I right?
[00:03:52] Yeah.
[00:03:53] God.
[00:03:53] While tailing him, Senior Justiceia walks through a portal or hollow into another world where he sees Alba
[00:04:01] and is very young looking grandmother attacking his student.
[00:04:05] Oh, David.
[00:04:05] Having the young looking grandmother, where have I seen that before?
[00:04:09] Oh, do you mean Dante Don?
[00:04:11] What?
[00:04:12] Yeah.
[00:04:12] Maybe this is Dante Don at home.
[00:04:14] I guess, actually, that should be one of our guesses that's going to be Dante Don at home or a fanom serial number.
[00:04:18] It's something at home.
[00:04:20] It's definitely, I'd say it's kind of manga at home.
[00:04:23] It is something at home, David.
[00:04:25] How about you, David?
[00:04:25] Popcorn you.
[00:04:26] Grand My Drops, some exposition about how threads will turn people into monsters or something.
[00:04:30] I thought it was X, not, or formerly known as Twitter that had that issue.
[00:04:33] But I feel that's the cleverest joke I've ever made on this podcast.
[00:04:37] Oh, so clever.
[00:04:38] Just this dude passes out and wakes up in, I feel like I'm going to call him Adoba.
[00:04:43] I'm just going to start calling him Adoba now because that's a great spice.
[00:04:46] Adoba's house.
[00:04:47] Adoba photo shop, south.
[00:04:49] Yes.
[00:04:50] Where grandma continues exposition about how the shadows and people's hearts take them over and
[00:04:55] turn, I thought this was a plot.
[00:04:56] It says this is Kingdom Hearts at home too.
[00:04:58] This is persona.
[00:05:00] Oh, that's true.
[00:05:01] More justice reminisces about how his grandpa was of course a cop who died when he saw a freaked out girl on the road.
[00:05:07] So naturally shot her eight times.
[00:05:09] She says, Fiana.
[00:05:11] No, I mean he who was of course a cop who died when he sees a free Lord Justice sees
[00:05:17] three-dact girl on the road.
[00:05:18] I'm sorry that was an awkwardly written sentence.
[00:05:21] She says Fiona has bad vibes so Justice King rushes to the school to find her.
[00:05:25] Here we go.
[00:05:25] It's Fiona.
[00:05:26] It's now it's Boo you know.
[00:05:29] It's just Fiona.
[00:05:30] She says Foo you know has bad vibes so Justice King rushes to the school to find her force
[00:05:35] choking a student.
[00:05:35] Justice Iceman says he doesn't believe in justice but just wants to protect people when a
[00:05:40] doble shows up and says he couldn't protect the person he wanted to protect.
[00:05:44] So he has to fight these monsters because you always got to protect that smile and Jordan yes,
[00:05:48] I did get that justice ice.
[00:05:49] I did get that joke.
[00:05:50] I just didn't think it was very good.
[00:05:52] Well no, you actually didn't because it's just in ice man.
[00:05:55] That's the joke.
[00:05:56] Oh, then I can't read.
[00:05:57] Now that joke is funny.
[00:05:58] Now it's funny.
[00:06:00] Now it's a good joke.
[00:06:01] Magic can't kill Sephiroth his wrist and his arm turns into his sword that he uses to the feed.
[00:06:05] Fiona and make her normal again because the series has no interesting stakes.
[00:06:10] The next day everyone forgot about the fight again because the series has no interesting
[00:06:14] stakes.
[00:06:15] No stakes in Adobe and an ex justice person decide to open up a business taking care of shadows.
[00:06:21] Eliminating them if you will and destroy my chibi guests of when they were straight up going
[00:06:25] to say the phrase shadow eliminators as we've already seen.
[00:06:28] We did not like this for chapter I think is a good way of putting it.
[00:06:30] No, it's not a great chapter.
[00:06:32] This is the quick essential.
[00:06:34] This is the author's first work.
[00:06:36] I looked it up to confirm but you really didn't need to.
[00:06:38] You were already knew that was the case.
[00:06:40] Yeah, let me just retread all the interesting stuff.
[00:06:42] This is no coincidence it's building a cheat sheet to cousin.
[00:06:45] It's building on Don to Don.
[00:06:46] I won't be surprised if we find out he had some relationship to fucking.
[00:06:50] We just talked about what's the series that we made fun of.
[00:06:53] The one that the cancel mug we just made fun of.
[00:06:55] Why am I spacing out?
[00:06:56] We covered it with Megan Danger.
[00:06:57] I'm serious.
[00:06:58] Fancy.
[00:06:58] Yeah, what do you think is the price he had some connection to fanom.
[00:07:00] So, or if not maybe he was reading it when he fought of this series I think the timeline would let
[00:07:03] add up.
[00:07:04] This does have big fanom's to your energy for a few reasons.
[00:07:08] First of all, of course, the art pretty good.
[00:07:10] Art is very solid.
[00:07:12] It's really good in parts.
[00:07:13] I have no issues with the art but also the storytelling is kind of garbage.
[00:07:17] Wouldn't be surprised if his next story see only does the art.
[00:07:19] Yeah, like I will say it is an interesting kind of twist to have the rules guy
[00:07:25] sticking the mud.
[00:07:26] Be like the main character or the main point of view character.
[00:07:29] And he has to work glasses so you know he's all about rules.
[00:07:32] Oh god, I hate that.
[00:07:34] I hate him.
[00:07:35] He's so annoying.
[00:07:37] Oh, he's such a dick.
[00:07:38] But no David, his grandpa was a cop who died.
[00:07:41] He's studying spiders in the Amazon.
[00:07:43] Yes.
[00:07:43] Yes.
[00:07:45] Yeah, I just, there's really nothing that would possibly make me think there's not an original
[00:07:50] bone in this series's body.
[00:07:51] And they had a chance if people remembered the incident or if he had to murder
[00:07:55] the one that turned out he had to actually kill the girl in the head of the body.
[00:07:59] And that's what this manga turns into.
[00:08:00] And he's something.
[00:08:02] It's like that one about the assassin Japan.
[00:08:04] What if the emperors was actually like feudal Japan Makama and he was like, oh, now I see why people
[00:08:09] needed to kill her.
[00:08:09] That would have been actually a very interesting plot twist.
[00:08:12] It didn't even think of chainsaw man specifically part two chapter one.
[00:08:16] We're like, when I was at like kills that teacher and that girl.
[00:08:20] Like a Chicago man, he'll have style, style, citation.
[00:08:23] You know, my MLA.
[00:08:25] I wonder what the MLA rule for citing manga is.
[00:08:29] There has to be one, right?
[00:08:30] Like it's probably volume chapter page.
[00:08:33] Yeah, panel.
[00:08:34] Now you don't do a page line on a page.
[00:08:36] Oh, god.
[00:08:37] But yeah, there's, but no, maybe think about that.
[00:08:40] When Azah kills that teacher and the student, they're dead.
[00:08:43] You know, like they're gone.
[00:08:45] Yeah, she killed them.
[00:08:46] And there are consequences.
[00:08:48] That's always how you tell this manga is bad.
[00:08:49] There's no consequences.
[00:08:51] He's like, I don't want to make it like that.
[00:08:54] Here's the thing persona gets around it by making everything in a
[00:08:59] Metaverse or some alternate world that's like a shadow world.
[00:09:02] And then guess what, David?
[00:09:04] But when you kill the shadow in that world, there are real consequences
[00:09:08] in the real world.
[00:09:09] You know, the guy who's shadowed you kills has a heart attack or something
[00:09:14] or dies or something.
[00:09:16] Yeah.
[00:09:16] Even in persona, there are real world consequences.
[00:09:19] They're just don't seem to be it.
[00:09:21] That's why I fucking love witchwatch where her secret up being a witch got out and they
[00:09:26] said, okay, cool.
[00:09:26] So I guess it's just magic.
[00:09:28] And then the world just adjusted to their being witches, which was really fun.
[00:09:31] They didn't have a super, super horoshy had like a memory or a race or plot.
[00:09:34] They literally took everyone flying.
[00:09:35] You know, it was a great time.
[00:09:36] This series is not doing that because the offer clearly is afraid of fucking around the
[00:09:39] staff's quote too much in creating his own world.
[00:09:41] This really made me realize how much I hate the trope of people for getting when something happens.
[00:09:48] Oh man, we forgot because we were in like a mystical world and I just don't remember.
[00:09:54] That sucks.
[00:09:55] I will say it is funny that they literally created a school.
[00:09:58] They made a school club about dealing with monsters, which again, it's okay.
[00:10:01] So it is out in the open, but you're hiding the fun parts of this, so it just feels very awkward now.
[00:10:05] It's not, oh there's demons, but don't worry, we've got the student club that deals with it.
[00:10:09] What are you worried about it?
[00:10:10] Which it sounds like a fun idea.
[00:10:12] Is it a club?
[00:10:13] It seemed like it was supposed to be like a business.
[00:10:16] They were starting, like, it's like a flyers.
[00:10:18] The point is that they're very open that they're finding these monsters.
[00:10:20] Yeah, no one remembers them doing it.
[00:10:22] So it feels like we're going to complain a lot about how it doesn't seem the setup doesn't make sense with actual execution.
[00:10:28] Yeah, that's fair.
[00:10:28] No, I mean, the grandma is also really seems to only exist to give exposition.
[00:10:34] We meet her and she's like, oh, just this guy.
[00:10:36] Let me talk about threads here and then he gets knocked out and he wakes up, but she's just like shadows.
[00:10:42] But they turn into Cassanae and it's like, apropos of nothing, she just continues her exposition dump.
[00:10:48] Yeah, it's so stupid.
[00:10:50] Which also was a sign of not very well.
[00:10:51] Again, this is like just a, this is like actually pretty good to study how to not make it good for chapters in new offer.
[00:10:56] This may be the best value of this series.
[00:10:59] There were multiple moments where I had to reread a couple panels, like a bunch of times to figure out what the fuck has
[00:11:06] happened.
[00:11:07] Like when he jumped into the pool to get the hangar chip, I was like, where did the hangar chip come from?
[00:11:12] What was he doing there?
[00:11:13] Yeah, it's kind of like, all right, I don't understand this, but that's Jordan's job.
[00:11:17] Yeah, unfortunately it is.
[00:11:18] No, I'm just kidding.
[00:11:19] There's one last topic I want to bring up and I saw it murmured in the discord, but apparently the series has like a lot of kind of soft BL elements or boy love.
[00:11:27] I feel knowing that reading the first chapter, I can see it, but apparently the series does not go far enough because that also would have been interesting is at least make the series really game.
[00:11:36] You know, because that's what the offer I think wanted to do.
[00:11:39] Look, it's shown in jump.
[00:11:41] If he wanted to do it, they probably wouldn't let him.
[00:11:43] Yeah, it's like, yeah, I respect that, but I don't think shown in jump was going to let him go that far on it.
[00:11:49] I don't know.
[00:11:50] Maybe at the end, it's like more explicit.
[00:11:52] It sounds like it is not at all though.
[00:11:53] Just heavy undertones.
[00:11:55] Super natural.
[00:11:56] They're rather short.
[00:11:57] It's queer-baiting.
[00:11:58] Yes, that's the term.
[00:11:59] The series apparently has a lot of queer-baiting in it.
[00:12:01] Yeah.
[00:12:01] And so Jordan, would you read in our 10 chapters of this?
[00:12:05] No.
[00:12:05] No.
[00:12:06] I will say that the series managed to not be like nothing.
[00:12:12] Like stuff happens in this chapter, but wait, it's not well told.
[00:12:17] It's kind of exposition a lot of it and just confusingly drawn and written.
[00:12:24] Yeah, it's just literally this is ex at home.
[00:12:26] And there's nothing to gain from reading this series.
[00:12:28] You wouldn't gain from reading something like Dondon.
[00:12:30] Oh, yeah, absolutely.
[00:12:32] Just can read Dondon on instead of this?
[00:12:34] Yeah, that's our easy rack.
[00:12:35] That's our recommendation.
[00:12:37] We can't now.
[00:12:39] We're not allowed to say it next time.
[00:13:07] That's brilliant.
[00:13:08] We're going to do it.
[00:13:09] So we will read that building at blog.
[00:13:11] We've never covered.
[00:13:12] We're doing it.
[00:13:13] Oh, man.
[00:13:14] We'll see if we'll see if Derek is free to cover with us.
[00:13:17] All right.
[00:13:17] So Jordan, what do you think will happen next?
[00:13:19] I think they're going to be at least two monster of the week's stories in the next few chapters.
[00:13:24] I think the grandma has some kind of curse on her keeping her young, you know, not unlike a red hood.
[00:13:29] And I think they get another ally.
[00:13:31] And David, I think that he is a hot tempered idiot with a heart of gold.
[00:13:35] How about you?
[00:13:36] My, my, you know, well, we can some sort of super badass power.
[00:13:39] They're going to meet another society that deals with shadow creatures.
[00:13:43] So when you say society, what do you mean?
[00:13:46] You know how they kind of like start a business or something.
[00:13:48] There's going to be like competitor.
[00:13:50] Oh, so like another group like that.
[00:13:52] Yeah, some sort of other organization, another shadow element.
[00:13:55] Are they going to be like the darker the darkness erasers.
[00:13:58] Some sort of shadow, eliminated squad you would say.
[00:14:02] God, you're making me want to commit suicide.
[00:14:04] Ah, that's a reference suicide squad before people get too dark.
[00:14:07] Anyway, my friend couldn't name a Sabrina Carpenter song.
[00:14:11] And I was like, maybe if you had some of us, press it.
[00:14:12] You can please, please tell me a Sabrina Carpenter song and then he didn't get it.
[00:14:16] I love you.
[00:14:17] I don't just have to just believe that name.
[00:14:19] Anyway, my last guess is look, we don't want to shame him by saying he doesn't know any Sabrina Carpenter song.
[00:14:25] That is a deep shame.
[00:14:27] Yeah, anyway, they're going to make at least one friend that is a shadow.
[00:14:30] But he's like the good one or some morally grave thing.
[00:14:33] It's like that little guy from a fucking what's the, what's the one that was by the guy who made
[00:14:38] Golem Hearts that we read.
[00:14:39] Doda on Doda on.
[00:14:41] Yeah, where he was just like a nice, he was just like a cute little guy.
[00:14:43] So they're going to make a friend.
[00:14:45] They're going to make a friend that normally they would defeat, but they don't because he's just a little guy.
[00:14:48] Yeah, just a little guy.
[00:14:49] Yeah, and Jordan, what is your power word?
[00:14:51] Simple David because we didn't even say it, but he's Mr. Justice.
[00:14:56] And as we all know, David, that is the eighth deadly sin.
[00:15:00] Straight because this just played every throat straight and it's a fucked on a queer baiting.
[00:15:04] Well, not yet, but we'll see.
[00:15:05] But allegedly a legit queer baiting.
[00:15:08] Yes, it becomes that.
[00:15:10] Yeah.
[00:15:10] All right. And then Jordan finally let's move into Q&A.
[00:15:12] Big thank you to everyone who submits their questions.
[00:15:14] You can do so on the shown in flop discord.
[00:15:17] Finally, to it in our showments or on our site, shown in flopin.com, get priority to patrons.
[00:15:21] People who haven't asked a question before or people who haven't had a question answered in a long time.
[00:15:26] Starting with dude rocks, we have would you rather collect beta max or HD DVDs?
[00:15:30] David, for me, it's easy.
[00:15:32] It's beta max, not even close and I'll tell you why.
[00:15:35] There is like a physicality to those old cassette things like BHS and beta max and stuff like that.
[00:15:42] Where you can like display it, you can like, you could hold it.
[00:15:46] You know, you can't do that with HD DVDs.
[00:15:48] Also, beta max physically looks different. HD DVDs are just DVDs that you can't run.
[00:15:53] Yeah, more like I was going to make a beta joke, but I realized you're for the beta max.
[00:15:57] Yeah, which actually was my nickname in college, beta max.
[00:16:01] How about you?
[00:16:02] I actually did collect HD DVDs and they suck.
[00:16:05] So sure, beta max sounds fun.
[00:16:07] Why did you collect HD DVDs and they suck?
[00:16:09] I mean, it's wrong.
[00:16:10] It was easy digital.
[00:16:11] What weapon would Mega Man get from defeating you?
[00:16:13] Yes, because you know a question that Jordan King answer is coming up.
[00:16:17] So I had to leak, could include a Mega Man related question.
[00:16:20] It would be like S beam and the S stands for sleepy, but they couldn't fit it on the full.
[00:16:26] It'd be mean thing.
[00:16:27] Yeah, yeah, it's cuz I'm sleepy all the time.
[00:16:29] And I've never been fully awake once in my entire life.
[00:16:32] So mine would be a axe.
[00:16:34] It was shooting axe out.
[00:16:35] It'd be called axiety.
[00:16:36] Oh God, because I got anxiety.
[00:16:38] Now I feel stressed about that.
[00:16:39] That wasn't a good answer.
[00:16:40] Anyway, from some bubble.
[00:16:42] You could make one change to any flop.
[00:16:44] What would you choose?
[00:16:47] So Jordan, I think mine would be just go to the offer of Red Hood and say, ignore anything your editor tells you.
[00:16:52] Oh my God.
[00:16:54] Shit.
[00:16:55] See, the problem is that there's so usually so many more things wrong with the manga than just one thing.
[00:17:02] But I guess it's not different than yours really.
[00:17:05] But go to the service wars guy and say, don't do a tournament, Mark.
[00:17:09] That's a good point.
[00:17:10] Yeah.
[00:17:10] Just don't do it.
[00:17:12] Yeah, which is basically we would basically be telling him the same advice that you're giving the Red Hood guy though.
[00:17:18] Ignore your fucking editor who definitely told you to have a tournament arc.
[00:17:22] Yeah, cuz that's 100% what happened.
[00:17:24] I like how you guys are like, what's in a system that helps with the plot?
[00:17:26] It makes me think that's literally what the editor is.
[00:17:29] That was not on that episode of the comment.
[00:17:31] All right.
[00:17:31] Next from AG tunnels out of all manga anime, which tunnels are responsible for the copycats?
[00:17:36] So Jordan, what would you say is the most ripped off manga that you can think of?
[00:17:40] It's either 100 or Dragon Ball, right?
[00:17:43] I would say or we've seen quite a few one piece ripoffs.
[00:17:46] Fisses and North Star and Brissler also have a ton of series I rip them off.
[00:17:50] That is fair.
[00:17:51] I feel like every single shone in like since since Dragon Ball came out has had Dragon Ball DNA in it.
[00:17:58] And I think 100, is basically a satire of Dragon Ball for a significant part of its rock.
[00:18:04] I would say there in terms of just overall influencing copying of it.
[00:18:11] I feel like there's nothing I feel like Dragon Ball has to be it.
[00:18:15] Yeah, I mean Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball has its DNA and all's every series to ever exist.
[00:18:19] You can't really have a tournament arc that's not in some way influenced by Dragon Ball.
[00:18:22] Yeah, pretty much every series has.
[00:18:24] Dragon Ball literally changed how the editors literally changed how the editors ruined manga.
[00:18:29] Yeah, oh man.
[00:18:30] And next Jordan for the very important question from Mr. Davy, what is the most brat flop manga we've covered?
[00:18:38] It's got to be Katy Flurry, right?
[00:18:39] Katy Flurry, what will they see think that's the most brat?
[00:18:42] So you're saying brat in the Charlie XEX to me?
[00:18:45] Yes, yes.
[00:18:45] Where it's like, ah, she's like this, this like cool girl who's like glamorous but like kind of selfish sort of.
[00:18:54] I don't know. Like that kind of, that reads to me like the main character of Katy Flurry who I would absolutely be like all over Instagram is my kind of viewpoint of that like a glamour youtuber or something.
[00:19:09] Like that's the vibe I got from her and that just seems that seems brat-pilled.
[00:19:13] So mine is I think of too. I think that the main character from I tell see she literally has had to tell them designer clothing is just a little shit doing whatever she wants.
[00:19:21] And the second I realized is actually the main character from Marie, from Hungry Marie or her daughter, isn't it?
[00:19:26] It's Marie Antoinette's daughter. She definitely seems brat as fuck.
[00:19:30] Yeah, so those are the two I'm putting up is the most brat manga we've covered.
[00:19:33] My thing about I tell see is that she's like too obsessed with other people really say that she's like a brat to me in this term is somebody who's like more self absorbed but in like an empowering way.
[00:19:46] You know what that's fair listener. I'd be curious drop a comment on what you think is the most brat manga we've covered and how about which one of us is more brat?
[00:19:54] Oh, you yeah, which one of us is on the brat to Midwest princess spectrum and also I guess next time we'll say what's the most to me or manga we've covered.
[00:20:01] Oh god these fucking terms.
[00:20:03] Oh god, I actually made like a instead of a D&D stat we had or it was like your wrist, your brat levels. Oh that was a good time anyway.
[00:20:12] To me or just showed up out of nowhere. Yeah, did it took over Brad really I don't know I literally just started seeing people say to me or and I'm like what the fuck?
[00:20:23] Very to me or very modest Rachel my to me or okay, thanks. She said yeah and modest.
[00:20:29] Yeah, no, it's it's like it's like the trad wife version of Brad.
[00:20:33] Alright and then our final question though is what is the color identity imagine gathering of gone freaks from hunter hunter so Jordan why don't you take things off what colors do you think gone freaks is I would say that he is rainbow colored like from building a good happy pride.
[00:20:49] Thank you as an actual question I have to say gone freaks is absolutely green to his core if you really had to do a second color than red but my man lives in each other life lives his own story constantly growing doing his good good.
[00:21:02] So I would say gone freaks definitely I would say his monochrome in my opinion.
[00:21:06] That makes sense. You also wears green he does it's no coincidence.
[00:21:10] No, he wears his match with the gathering colors that's true. Oh man anyway though, I want to say Jordan fake you so much for all of your hard work on the show and adding the TV that you David for all your hard work and put in the show together and adding the jibby.
