[00:00:00] David, you start talking about something completely unrelated. I just thought I'd change it up. Okay, so you know it's interesting. We've got a new fish and in fact

[00:00:07] we actually got two of them but it's weird that she has a preference for different. David, David, David

[00:00:11] I actually do care about this but we can't talk about it right now because if you look at the time it is the

[00:00:16] the

[00:00:40] I'm David and this is your Dostochains on Man. Can join us every Friday or we see what masterpiece Fuji Moto put out?

[00:00:45] I'm Jordan and if you're looking for regular Shonen Flop goodness you can find our next episode to hear our first thoughts on

[00:00:52] Chagacha this Monday wow what a mong

[00:00:57] Absolutely and just a reminder these recordings are open everyone to listen and chat along with us on the Shonen Flop Discord every Tuesday at 6 p.m

[00:01:03] When there's a new chapter out except I'll be gone in the next two weeks because I'm going to New Zealand

[00:01:08] Yes, you can finally do it in the show notes or on our site in Jordan. What was your double this week?

[00:01:12] My devil this week was the mattress pad devil David. So we got a new bed. It's very nice bed

[00:01:18] Well, we got a new bed frame and

[00:01:20] We have this foam mattress pad on top of our mattress

[00:01:24] We got rid of it because it was just kind of old

[00:01:26] We got a new one a new memory foam mattress and we were putting it out

[00:01:30] It was all kind of lumpy because it was shipped over and then we read put it out and lay it on a flat surface for

[00:01:39] 48 hours. Oh yeah

[00:01:41] That's really standard for mattresses. Yeah, it's a queen size mattress David

[00:01:44] We barely have any room so with like we don't really have floor space for a queen size mattress

[00:01:52] So it is currently sitting outside our room just completely blocking the hallway and it's been like that

[00:01:58] For like they fully two days. So tonight we'll be able to bring it in as you say less than 48 hours. Yeah

[00:02:05] So every time we've had to go out we've had to kind of walk around it

[00:02:09] It's been annoying, but you know, you should just have people over and just pretend the mattress isn't there and just be like when you talk

[00:02:14] There's no mattress. Yeah sure

[00:02:16] Oh man, what about yours?

[00:02:17] Mine is the packing devil as I go in New Zealand and I had to pack and completely unpack my suitcase because we ran out of room for our stuff

[00:02:25] Because surprisingly 15 days were for clothes takes up a lot of space

[00:02:28] So that is a fun project for me to tonight is the pack for the third time for this trip

[00:02:32] Oh man bust out your Resident Evil 4 skills

[00:02:35] You know someone made an entire game that is just the inventory management from Resident Evil 4? Yes

[00:02:43] Well, yeah except you know I just broke Jordan's bed. No just shut up anyway

[00:02:50] I know about that let's hear you let's hear the plot summary for chapter 157

[00:02:57] College find

[00:02:59] Aza and Fami stand outside of the building where 10g is being dismembered with the intention of saving him upon being discovered

[00:03:07] Territz rise from the ground to shoot them however

[00:03:11] Aza already used her college fund to purchase them and uses them to destroy the opening

[00:03:16] It's great. She's able to do this both because people are getting more afraid of war

[00:03:20] And because Aza has no concept of how much things actually cost like the entire aquarium situation was that

[00:03:27] The aquarium situation was great the idea is that you

[00:03:30] Spend something that you care about that is of equal

[00:03:34] Worth to the thing that you are

[00:03:37] Trying to turn into your weapon. Aza legitimately thinks that her college fund is enough to buy the state of the art

[00:03:43] Gunter it they are not but she doesn't realize this

[00:03:47] She's kind of like the arrested development thing where it's like how much gonna be an enemy five dollars?

[00:03:52] And how much can one turret be 10,000 yen? Yeah, I maybe she doesn't realize that yen and USD are different

[00:03:58] Denomination yet. Well because it was like uh

[00:04:00] Well, it was like a million yen

[00:04:02] I think which might be around 10,000 dollars

[00:04:05] I don't know it's not enough for a state of the art gun turret

[00:04:09] No

[00:04:10] And then the two arguably three girls run through the facility as the whole place goes on alert

[00:04:15] Someone recognizes her as the hunter from the chainsaw manchurch and thinks she's here to free their leader

[00:04:19] And like I guess in a way she is

[00:04:21] Femi tells Ausa to handle the threats because she's the trump card

[00:04:25] She tells Ausa to be careful and also immediately falls on her face right in front of a ton of armed guards

[00:04:30] So Femi steps up to fight. Oh, man

[00:04:33] David why was this week's chapter 10 out of 10 god fucking peak Fuji Moto having a laugh great chapter

[00:04:41] I mean just god that I love how she just falls all the time

[00:04:46] She does it's a legitimate running joke. Are you mean a falling joke?

[00:04:50] Anyway, literally the first chapter is she falls over and kills Bucky

[00:04:58] It reminded me of that we already talked about like the money thing which is hilarious

[00:05:03] And I love how that is legitimately her power. Oh my god

[00:05:07] She's so stupid she can use her powers to their fullest potential

[00:05:11] Yeah, I also really was liking Femi in this chapter like there's a moment where Yoru is like come on Femin

[00:05:18] Like what's the deal famine? What's the plan famine and Femi just does not respond she just kind of looks off

[00:05:23] She's like oh my god. What's the deal Femi and then Femi's like oh yeah, no, it's like let me let me go in there

[00:05:29] I just love it like the idea that like she's just kind of like she's been very aloof

[00:05:35] Like she's been very seemingly unemotional so the fact that she that she's like no you call me by my fucking nickname

[00:05:41] It's great. It like adds to her character, I think yeah

[00:05:44] I just Femi doesn't really give a fuck about anything

[00:05:47] I think she's just kind of doing this to see what happens more so than any actual interest in this

[00:05:51] Yeah, I mean she definitely has like an ulterior motive

[00:05:55] She's definitely kind of detached here. She is not as personally connected as Ozze is

[00:06:00] Yeah, by the way a little detail did you notice that the turrets had the word 10,000 written on them which literally is how much she might think they're worth

[00:06:08] It's really good. I also want to say that something I thought was funny is that they're like oh man

[00:06:13] They're just high school girls teen girl squad

[00:06:16] But it's like an anime in manga. You know what high school girls are statistically pretty dangerous

[00:06:21] This is all I'm saying

[00:06:23] Like I hope someone draws teen girl squad with the three

[00:06:26] Yeah

[00:06:27] Famous and your son so deaf devil hasn't shown up yet the ugly one

[00:06:35] God what a great fucking chat. I just got that man if you're not

[00:06:40] It's way too deep into the manga to show someone this is show how great chain saw man is yeah

[00:06:45] I also really love how aza and uh

[00:06:48] Your are you talking back and forth we're handled is it's one of those things where I'm like there's no way

[00:06:53] It can be adapted into anime as well as this works in manga. Yeah, it's like two people are talking like right next to each other kind of

[00:06:59] But like they're obviously not it's just like some panels have the scar and that's your who obviously and then some don't

[00:07:06] That's aza the scar was such a smart idea

[00:07:09] It could be maybe they'll have two separate voice actors or like just one voice actress is very good at um

[00:07:15] Yeah, like having like a very different cadence for each one

[00:07:18] Yeah, I'm sure they'll find someone it'll be really interesting to to see we've got to actually act

[00:07:23] What I don't know fuck I don't even know a timeline of when this would possibly animated this would be in like 10 years

[00:07:29] I

[00:07:33] Yeah, like we're only on the very first few volumes of chain saw man right now

[00:07:38] Like we haven't even really well

[00:07:40] They're doing that movie about meeting raise a y'all aren't they like a special about meeting about raise a

[00:07:45] The the pong girl arc is gonna be a movie

[00:07:47] Right do you think they're gonna have an additional adaptation for the uh for of just like episodes

[00:07:53] Or is that just gonna be the adaptation? I don't know really. I guess depends on how well the movie does you know knock on wood

[00:07:59] I would expect to do pretty well because chainsaw man pretty damn pal pretty damn popular right now

[00:08:05] And I can't believe how dangerous it was for you to openly discuss

[00:08:08] Reze in an episode of the chainsaw minute oh, I know but um

[00:08:12] It's different when you do this almost make me want to just skip the entire credits and that's that end of that episode

[00:08:17] Oh, but we alas unfortunately

[00:08:19] Do you have to thank you Jordan for all of your hard work on the show being a great co-host. Oh, thank you David

[00:08:24] Also, uh Fujimoto shoe watch still can't really draw shoes that yeah, you've homeboy cannot draw shoes

[00:08:30] It's like me pronouncing words I think last chapter there was like one panel where I was just like wow

[00:08:35] Those are some pretty well drawn shoes for you Fujimoto. He probably hadn't assistant do it

[00:08:40] Yeah, also, uh, I apologize last week

[00:08:43] I said no, I don't think they've cut off 23 legs but like apparently the consensus is yes
