Transcript

Giovani 0:22

Welcome to last notice. I am your host, Giovanni.

Danielle 0:29

Hi, and I'm your host, Danielle.

Giovani 0:32

Hey. Danielle.

Danielle 0:34

Hey.

Giovani 0:36

hey,

Danielle 0:37

hey,

Giovani 0:39

We're back again

Danielle 0:42

Yep. Uh.

Giovani 0:43

it didn't take four weeks.

Danielle 0:48

I mean, why why are you making us sound like slackers? I mean, we're getting it done slow and steady. Right.

Giovani 0:56

it wins to race. Yeah,

Danielle 0:59

Uh, that's

Giovani 0:59

they say.

Danielle 1:01

yada yada yada. But double episode

Giovani 1:05

double episode. You excited

Danielle 1:06

are you here for that?

Giovani 1:09

this? I like this episode. I really like this episode a lot. Um, just so much to talk about when you're dealing with, uh, some favorite characters and favorite side characters. And characters we haven't seen in a long time. So it was just a lot to put in there.

Danielle 1:30

Yeah. I, I en I enjoyed it, part one and part two. Uh. I thought it was, uh, few revelations in there that was, um, pretty interesting.

Giovani 1:43

Oh, really?

Danielle 1:45

well, yeah. I mean, you, you know, my, um, favorite villain or gray grayish villain? Mauri made some moves.

Giovani 1:57

This episode was Uri Carucci

Danielle 2:01

yeah.

Giovani 2:02

centric. It was, uh, he was the star in this. Uh, I failed to realize so far why this guy isn't one of the great threats. You know, we have, Yuha say does these great threats and Car Sui is not one of them.

Danielle 2:22

He's constantly underestimated.

Giovani 2:25

I don't know about underestimated, He is unpredictable, but I also think maybe being unpredictable, he's predictable.

Track 1 2:34

Uh, so you can depend on him to be a wild card, is what you're saying.

Giovani 2:40

I would, he would definitely be a, just, he would be a, a special threat to me because notice he observes first and then he, he gains a plan. He gets a plan, then he puts his plan in action instead of like, he should go, he should go swings first, and then later on tries to put a plan in action.

Track 1 3:07

All right. Right.

Giovani 3:07

So

Track 1 3:08

Okay. Well, we'll get into it.

Giovani 3:11

I know it's funny, we're talking about it. We're not even chitchatting what you been up to.

Track 1 3:16

uh, this hair and there

Giovani 3:21

Here. There

Track 1 3:22

Yeah.

Giovani 3:22

everywhere.

Track 1 3:23

Uh, I've picked up a little bit more of my Christmas bird. I know I was talking about that last time it was, you know, it was dragging for me. But, um, you know, I got a little pine in the air, a little, um, cinnamon spice everything. Nice. So

Giovani 3:43

uh, that's good. I,

Track 1 3:44

Yeah.

Giovani 3:45

it's, I've been kind of, I won't say depressed, but just trying not to open spend this holiday season because it's a big thing how everything's more expensive now. Whether it's your cup of coffee, it's going to the grocery store and buying eggs or bread or whatever. Everything's is expensive. And not to mention tipping, like everybody wants a temp for what?

Track 1 4:14

You know what they were talking about that, and I mean, hate me if you want, but I am one of those people that feels like I'm on the tipping his out of control boat. That's where I, I am.

Giovani 4:31

And for someone like me, who in my younger day I worked for tips, it's because, you know, I actually did a service. I delivered pizza, or I did something like that.

Track 1 4:43

Yeah.

Giovani 4:44

If I eat, if I go to a local restaurant for takeout, why do I have to tip you for, that's what your employee, that's, what your employee will pay you do.

Track 1 4:56

job. That is the

Giovani 4:58

that is your job. You know, and then some, some people have to audacity to say, where if you can't tip, you shouldn't be in eating out. I'm like, no, that's not how it works. I can still eat out and not tip. I mean, I'm not tipping McDonald's.

Track 1 5:16

well

Giovani 5:17

I'm not Wendy's

Track 1 5:18

it's crazy now'cause it's, it's kind, it's also all kinds of places that never ask for tips before

Giovani 5:25

asking tips,

Track 1 5:27

and then they're adding it to the, especially when you are using like Apple Pay or you using your, um, your card, you know, it's automatically there. And a lot'em

Giovani 5:37

25%. I'm

Track 1 5:39

than 10, 15%.

Giovani 5:41

we get to 25%?

Track 1 5:42

I don't know. I don't understand. I don't understand it, especially, I have no problem tipping, know, in

Giovani 5:49

If inside restaurant, aunt

Track 1 5:51

in the, in the actual structure of what tipping is meant to be. I have no problem delivery eating in the, you know, waiters, waitresses, eating inside and

Giovani 6:03

room service.

Track 1 6:04

use my own right room service, but when I use my own gas to go get it, I walk in, you even bring to like,

Giovani 6:14

right. They bring

Track 1 6:15

like curbside. I can even see, but I go in,

Giovani 6:18

Yeah.

Track 1 6:19

I get it myself. All you do is put it, you know, hand me the bag. Sometimes you're not even putting it in the bag. You just hand me the bag

Giovani 6:27

And guess what? Sometimes it's even wrong. Sometimes your order's still wrong. What am you for to get my order wrong?

Track 1 6:33

And then you have to tip before you even figure out that your order is wrong. So it's kind of like. I dunno. I know we on a rant about tipping, but it's, it's

Giovani 6:43

it's, it's, say that it's this difference between like the older generations, like the, Uh, boomers Yeah, the boomers. They want a tip and millennials are like, um, what did you actually do

Track 1 7:01

okay. But So then is it like a difference in budget because you know,

Giovani 7:09

That's true because I mean, millennials, gen Z,

Track 1 7:14

Yeah.

Giovani 7:15

they are paying back those student loans

Track 1 7:17

Right. And boomers are, are spending that retirement money. So

Giovani 7:23

And what's Generation X doing? We're just looking, I, guess just around like what's about? causing all this

Track 1 7:30

I'm hanging with the millennials cause I'm, I'm strongly on the tip. It is, tipping is outta control. We need to rein it in boat. People are going with it, so

Giovani 7:42

but what I wish people would do, for everyone who says if you, if you can't afford tip tipping, don't eat out. Everybody should just stop eating out and just watch the restaurant in industry suffer. Or everything else suffer because of tipping.'cause it's going to come to a head. You know, it just is.

Track 1 8:02

Well, I don't see how it can't, and I don't understand, especially in the restaurant industry, why just can't pay their employees a proper wage. I don't understand it. Like why is it, I mean, if the minimum wage, if that's what we're going with, if the minimum wage is, I don't know, just$12 an hour, I don't know. Like why are you paying your employee seven like doesn't even make any sense.

Giovani 8:29

Right.

Track 1 8:30

Right. You

Giovani 8:31

And that, I mean, that is the problem.

Track 1 8:33

Yeah. Seven

Giovani 8:36

Danielle, let's stop

Track 1 8:36

Yeah.

Giovani 8:38

Let's stop branding. We can do this. can have podcast about this

Track 1 8:41

that went on a long time. Okay.

Giovani 8:43

because It's true. Like it is outta control. And yo, they say that Americans are spending beyond their means as is. I mean, we're doing that anyway. We can't afford what we're doing.

Track 1 8:56

Well that's a whole nother conversation.

Giovani 8:58

buying their pay later.

Track 1 8:59

Oh my goodness. Yeah.

Giovani 9:02

Okay, let's start with bleach. Let's

Track 1 9:04

Yeah.

Giovani 9:04

with bleach. do this

Track 1 9:06

depressing everybody. All right. Uh, so episode 22, 23. We are at marching out the zombies one and two.

Giovani 9:19

one, two. Yep.

Track 1 9:21

Yeah.

Giovani 9:22

And, uh, this is straight rip the manga. So I was excited to see that, um, I could follow along with the manga and what's going on, except I will say this, it's, it is split throughout the books because a lot of the stuff didn't happen in, in my three and one, yet I had to go to an entirely different book.

Track 1 9:47

Yeah.

Giovani 9:49

Nevertheless, let's go, let's talk.

Track 1 9:52

All right. So, uh, we opened with Ichigo, I guess, watching leave with, uh, Yuha and hba as they head into the Soul Palace. So they're, they jumped in their, um, 10. Did, did they have a 10? Did they, yeah. Or they,

Giovani 10:18

No. They just used their magical powers to float

Track 1 10:21

Okay.

Giovani 10:22

use Uhhas

Track 1 10:23

yeah, Ichigo came down in attention and then Yuha just got himself up there because the, um, spot was left open because of Ichigo. So, yeah.

Giovani 10:36

don't even know if Ichigo used a tension. He just flew down, didn't he?

Track 1 10:39

Yeah.'cause we got, um, uh, uh, hun was also speculating on why, uh,

Giovani 10:48

oh, show

Track 1 10:49

Zero and Ma on Monica Osho is of not really doing anything about Yuha. Crew and just letting them walk into the soul palace without any resistance and know, whether that's a part of the plan.

Giovani 11:07

Also seems like the type to do what he wants to do. Like he's not going to include anybody in his plan. He's just going to do it.

Track 1 11:15

Yeah. I don't know. And then we got a glimpse of, um, Chad and um, or he made with Ichigo also trying to figure out what's going on with Orio and why is he on the other team of sorts.

Giovani 11:32

right? to me, that was a good, that was a good scene because it showed a montage of their friendship and how they stuck together with thick and thick and and thin. it just lets you know that there is a friendship there and maybe there's a reason for, for, um, Udi's Rebellion.

Track 1 11:56

Right. I think they're hoping that like the friendship will the end Trump everything else. We got kike also.

Giovani 12:06

Yeah, Kiki arrives on the scene to offer his assistance

Track 1 12:10

Yeah.

Giovani 12:11

and, in the, in the comic books or the manga, they allude to the reason why or the, or he may anyway, stress so scandalous.'cause her, um, puppies Are, out.

Track 1 12:29

are are we like 80 years old? Did you just say

Giovani 12:34

they're out. And, um, it's, she's, she's been revealing.

Track 1 12:40

my

Giovani 12:41

it is because of the kike, kike kind of set that up. For maybe him and o Ochi, they, uh, kind of set it up. So I thought that was cute.

Track 1 12:53

He has a way to help them get up, back up to the Royal Palace, so we'll see.

Giovani 13:01

yeah,

Track 1 13:02

And we move on. We get the little intro and then we see Bakia.

Giovani 13:12

yeah, yeah. When Ichigo came down, he, I guess he landed with so much force., Bia covered himself with this flower shield and there was a lot of Destruction down, uh, below the soul palace.

Track 1 13:29

We see, uh, Robert Aron and uh,

Giovani 13:33

Nana?

Track 1 13:35

yep. And Ji also, are they reflecting on, uh, filling ORs energy with Yuha and, then they sby shows up and they start facing him? Yeah.

Giovani 13:51

Ain't Candace. Yeah. Do you notice that don't know what nana Nada coup and Robert Kerron power is. We don't know what their ability is. That's, we know that, right? They, we stern riter and, and stern riter. I forgot what Notai is, but we haven't directly seen them use their power yet.

Track 1 14:13

Okay.

Giovani 14:13

And I don't know if we're going to

Track 1 14:15

Uh, I guess, I mean, if they're on the scene, I'm assuming eventually they'll, they'll get around to it. Uh, so we have, we see Giselle or Gigi. And she has two Soul Reapers

Giovani 14:32

There was a scene where we get to see Captain Saje as a wolf. It was just a, a short scene. We got to see him and this lieutenant together and they're, they're making their way toward Silburn, I guess, to meet up or possibly fight, yHA, even though Yuhas not there. So they're still marching forward

Track 1 14:52

Yeah.

Giovani 14:54

and then that's what we see. Giselle Jewel, uh, she's talking with the squad 11 Macheka and his buddy Kaku, and she's acting all defenses like, oh, it was her, her same routine that she did before. Don't cut me. I'm innocent.

Track 1 15:10

Yeah.

Giovani 15:12

And. For some reason, squad 11, who's all about butchering people, they did not butcher her. They kind of figured it out

Track 1 15:19

Right.'cause she seemed really insistent that they cut her.

Giovani 15:23

Right.

Track 1 15:24

they they were at least, um, quick about that. But then she brings out Bambi a zombie

Giovani 15:34

did that you

Track 1 15:35

that she, she can't them.

Giovani 15:38

How did, that hit you? Like it's like she ified her.

Track 1 15:43

I know her.

Giovani 15:44

was a friend but her.

Track 1 15:46

I won't say friend, but pair at least

Giovani 15:48

Yeah.

Track 1 15:49

Yeah. I mean like she's on your team at, I feel like at the very least you don't Shopify your own teammates

Giovani 15:56

Giselle's, like this is my power, my power's the zombie fi So your corpse is

Track 1 16:03

it.

Giovani 16:03

and anybody can get it. Anybody can zombie fired and it's probably a good thing that there was no residual of Yamamoto.'cause she would probably, um,

Track 1 16:15

that would be bad.

Giovani 16:16

Yeah. it would be bad. Yeah.

Track 1 16:17

Yeah.

Giovani 16:19

I would hate to see them fight more. Yamamoto.

Track 1 16:22

Hmm.

Giovani 16:22

So I guess next thing this, the Department of Research and Development. This is the case casing.

Track 1 16:29

Yeah.

Giovani 16:30

And, and you know, they said that he was Constructing a, what do they call it? Uh, A cannon. A Coke Carku. A tenuring. A tenuring, yeah. that's when he said that Mauri started making this before the invasion. I, I mean after the first invasion.'cause he figured it out. He knew that u ha's plan was to make it to the soul palace. How? I mean, is he the coolest or what? I know you like Mauri.

Track 1 17:00

I do like Mary, I, I'm like, where're all the clues.

Giovani 17:06

I didn't see it.

Track 1 17:07

Right. He seemed to be the only one on top of things.

Giovani 17:10

He's telling us soon as we to fight, like get your act together, get your squad together. And he's also figuring out maybe you ha isn't trying to just destroy the Ste. He has bigger plans.

Track 1 17:24

Right.

Giovani 17:26

Why

Track 1 17:26

he figured it out enough to, to build a new cannon. So, yeah, I

Giovani 17:31

he didn't tell anybody but He did work with Keith, Kate. They have this relationship

Track 1 17:37

though, he did say though that the cannon belonged to the Sheba family. Did you hear that part?

Giovani 17:44

Well, I know the, technique. I

Track 1 17:47

right, like the, the, I guess maybe plan,

Giovani 17:50

technique,

Track 1 17:51

right?

Giovani 17:52

so I did catch that.

Track 1 17:54

What were you saying about him and, um,

Giovani 17:57

I just say they have a relationship that goes back at least 150 years, probably a 110 years. I know, because Kiki was the one who got him out of jail

Track 1 18:12

right.

Giovani 18:13

so

Track 1 18:14

What I do know is that you probably definitely don't want Maori and Kiske teaming up.

Giovani 18:22

that sounds bad.

Track 1 18:24

Yeah.

Giovani 18:25

That sounds, don't. It seemed like they can work off each other. Right? Like iron sharpen

Track 1 18:32

yes, but the, but it's also like for them, there's probably no lines.

Giovani 18:38

There's no lying. Yeah, there's

Track 1 18:40

And that's That's absolutely dangerous.

Giovani 18:44

Let's not forget Kiki's the one who put the hokey cue in Rukia. Because he didn't have any choice. So you know it's wide

Track 1 18:55

Annie experimented on Ichi ego's mother. Right.

Giovani 18:59

did.

Track 1 18:59

Yeah. So that's a terrible, terrible duo that. All right, so we have, Richie, did I just say that right? I don't think I said

Giovani 19:13

You, are each you you will itchy.

Track 1 19:17

you or Ichi?

Giovani 19:19

You are itchy.

Track 1 19:21

Okay. So we have you, Richie, um, arriving on the scene and she tells Keith Kay that she was able to collect, uh, some of the distortions that the Quincy's left behind.

Giovani 19:35

That's pretty cool because I didn't know what a distortion is. They tried to explain it, I guess it kind of makes sense, you know, they used as a power. Well I did catch this. Uh, one of the assistant says that I guess somebody else is there and Keith case's like, okay, tell them to move, move, to phase two. And I was like, who is this other person they're talking about? I thought it was Ricci or the little short blonde visor. But no, it's somebody else.

Track 1 20:08

Oh

Giovani 20:09

We'll find out.

Track 1 20:10

yeah, well, uh, we'll see. And they get ready to give the, I guess, give the cannon a shot to see if they can get, uh, ichigo and friends up to the palace. We see, uh, in the next scene, I kaku and. Chica are fighting Gigi, who is still has poor Bambi under her control.

Giovani 20:40

And she did something that she should have did probably from the jump. I mean, she, I mean Bambi, not Bambi, uh, Giselle, she like bit her finger to to start like a blood fountain with her finger and she was going to like I guess smear it on the soul Reapers. She should have did that first instead of just trying to get them to slash her. I just thought that was weird.

Track 1 21:04

right. I don't know. Maybe she was going for dramatic effect or something. I don't know. Because I mean, you would think like then she would be in complete control, so I didn't understand either why she needed them to cut her when she could just do it herself.

Giovani 21:19

Through the explosion in Kaku and Yuma, Chico's on the ground and she's going to drip her blood on them and that's when your favorite, she Nami Mauri steps in and nimo to save the day in this bright and glowing outfit.

Track 1 21:39

Oh,

Giovani 21:39

had enough of that outfit.

Track 1 21:40

And, his son. And his son, God outfit as

Giovani 21:43

Yeah.

Track 1 21:43

to say,,I don't know. I mean, uh, yeah, he arrives on the scene to save the day. Um, because, you know, we learned that, uh, like you said, she was splashing them with her blood and they don't necessarily have to be dead for her to turn them into zombies. That's what we learned, which was, um, well, she, she did say unlike, uh, the soul Reapers don't have to be dead, but the Quincy do.

Giovani 22:13

Right.

Track 1 22:14

Right. So that, that, I don't know why, uh, there's that difference, but that's, that's how, that's what we learn. But yes, the son, God himself arrived and Do you like how he toned down his greatness for ordinary people to be able to see him?

Giovani 22:34

Yeah. That was shady. That was a shady there. So they begin to fight, uh, Giselle's using Bambi to use her REI bombs. And this isn't a fight because Uri has these Pokemon balls, light balls that

Track 1 22:56

balls.

Giovani 22:59

They like, it's like a magnet. They gravitate to her, REI capture them and put them on the lane.

Track 1 23:07

Okay.

Giovani 23:08

And in mayor's own words, this nullifies your power. So Bambi's not even in the equation anymore, like that,

Track 1 23:17

Wow. Yeah.

Giovani 23:19

but it's not over.

Track 1 23:21

No.'cause we find out that, uh, Gigi or Gisele, like has, she's literally been creating zombies out of the soul repair since she hopped on the scene.

Giovani 23:35

I thought that was the smartest thing ever. Like just kill indiscriminately soul Reapers.

Track 1 23:43

Well, that's the She doesn't even have to kill them. She doesn't have to, gets her, gets get her blood on them.

Giovani 23:49

well, Yeah. right. That's true. But they appeared dead, but Yeah, I hear you. I hear you. So she just smeared the blood all over the place and she has an army of sore reapers.

Track 1 24:02

yeah. Hundreds of them. All ified and all under her control.

Giovani 24:09

your guy

Track 1 24:10

There's more

Giovani 24:12

he's like, I don't wanna fight these two soul reapers. I, you know, I'm a captain. I do have a heart, which we know he don't. But this was all to test his subjects low for whole. He's rated Zola sport to get these fion, these old Fionas from fake Carku town and. Our name stake Los Noches. And he brought back three or four run cars

Track 1 24:46

Yeah,

Giovani 24:47

To do, the fighting, and they seemed pretty vicious. Do you remember these guys at all?

Track 1 24:53

I do. I Do remember them,

Giovani 24:55

Which one out to you?

Track 1 24:58

but oh well. Um.

Giovani 25:00

I know Charlotte. Did for me.

Track 1 25:03

The big guy, what was his name? you know?

Giovani 25:06

one?

Track 1 25:07

With

Giovani 25:07

So Charlotte was the effeminate guy, and then there's the, the guy who was always called Nino. Uh, he was the, uh, one that fought Rudy. Um, I say, what do you I think so. No, he fought Ichigo. He fought Ichigo and he ended up being a friend of Ichi Gold's.

Track 1 25:27

Okay.

Giovani 25:28

So Charlotte is the one that, that, uh, had a great battle with Yu Chika.

Track 1 25:33

So me, URI has his own zombie fight group,

Giovani 25:38

Yeah,

Track 1 25:39

to,

Giovani 25:39

he does.

Track 1 25:40

To battle Gigi's zombie fight group.

Giovani 25:44

Zombies are fighting zombies.

Track 1 25:45

Yeah.

Giovani 25:47

Maria, Maria really doesn't care. He says he cares, but he doesn't care. Uh, what, what else do we have? Uh, Charlotte's fighting all of them. Charlotte's fighting van be, and Bambi seems weaker because she can't think, right? She can't create her own strategies. She's dead.

Track 1 26:08

Yeah,

Giovani 26:09

So Charlotte just wipes Bambi out and just, it's not even competition. And then d and um, the rest. This is take care of all the underling zombies until there's none left. And you're thinking, this fight's over

Track 1 26:27

yeah. He made quick work of Bambi, but surprise, surprise. Gigi has another card up her sleeve. Here comes, uh, another zombie that she's controlling and it's none other than who

Giovani 26:43

Captain Aya.

Track 1 26:44

Captain hits a Gaia. I was so shocked. What do you think about that?

Giovani 26:49

It took my brother away. It literally took my brother away.'cause I, I remember this, them saying they can't feel the spiritual pressure, they say that all the time. Like you know? But now it seems like he died.

Track 1 27:05

Yeah. And I'm like, okay, did he die? And he, they, they let Aya die off screen, you know?

Giovani 27:15

death.

Track 1 27:16

I know. I so mad. Yeah. I mean, granted, yes, we are surprised now. So, you know, I guess there was a, poInt to the madness, but still, I mean, and I remember when he got, Injured him um, Ron Ku, but

Giovani 27:33

Was it du the that did it? Do you remember?

Track 1 27:37

Uh,

Giovani 27:37

Because I think was Du

Track 1 27:40

Yeah, I don't think it was Sby, but we didn't, we didn't really, uh, see them after, after that too much. But I think we just took for granted that, you know, like everybody else, they got injured but they were still alive, right? So to see Hi, hi Tia, captain Tia show up, and then the audacity of them to have him being controlled by Gigi

Giovani 28:09

Mm. Insult the

Track 1 28:12

as a zombie. Uh, so I dunno, we'll see if he's 100%, um, you know, no longer with us. And, uh, we move into episode 23. They left on that. Yeah, left, they left us on that cliffhanger there,

Giovani 28:32

Yeah.

Track 1 28:32

but Yeah.

Giovani 28:34

So this fight starts off and hits the Gaia. Starts off with Theia robing on the scene, and he's a new uniform. He's in a Quincy uniform. Did you notice that

Track 1 28:46

Yeah.

Giovani 28:47

he has a Quincy star on his jacket? Everyone is shocked. Kaku, everyone. You maka and you Maka has this bright idea to, I can use keto on him. He's just a zombie. And that was dumb

Track 1 29:07

Mm-Hmm.

Giovani 29:08

That was unfortunate because he is a captain and that's not gonna work.

Track 1 29:14

right.

Giovani 29:16

Iku for the save.

Track 1 29:17

Yeah. Well, you know, he dished out quite a few killing blows to iku and, uh, Yuka.

Giovani 29:26

Yeah, he hurt him pretty bad.

Track 1 29:28

yeah. Uh, they, they were down and they weren't really getting up so, and we have may, um, Mauri wondering, and then we, then we got Gisele confirming that, he, that Aya was turned into a zombie right before he died.

Giovani 29:48

So that's something.

Track 1 29:49

Yeah.

Giovani 29:50

So he's not dead then. He's just controlled.

Track 1 29:55

Well, we we still don't know for sure, right.

Giovani 30:00

Um, well, to me, zombie, zombie means dead, but in this case, not necessarily

Track 1 30:09

Right, because she, she did say that she doesn't have to, soul reapers don't have to be dead for her to turn them. So I'm hoping that that means that it can be reversed. So wear off and he would still be all right. So, uh, she said that turning them right before they die makes them more limber and kind of like easier to control. So like, they still seem like a person and they have all their, all the powers are still like top-notch,

Giovani 30:45

No, not because Ba Bambi was a shell self hits the Gaia moves fast, and he has, he has, his power

Track 1 30:53

Yeah.

Giovani 30:55

and uh, Charlotte tries to fight, hits the Gaia, and he's immediately cut down. My Yuri looks at shorter, and like I told you, you are a fool. That's punishment. Stay down

Track 1 31:09

It's like, I'm not gonna heal you, Like Stay stay there.

Giovani 31:14

And then he looks at, uh, hits the Gaia in, in a, in this weird, weird way, he says, I'm thinking about experimenting on

Track 1 31:23

Right. He wants to test drugs on him. And I was like, wait a minute, wait a minute. See Mary, like, I wanna rock with you. And then you always go and do this

Giovani 31:37

And the fight reminds you of who's the, uh, zario.

Track 1 31:42

You did mention that. Yes, I did.

Giovani 31:45

It's, it mirrors it because URI is a couple plays above everybody else. And he's like, okay, is this what you have? Is this all you have? I got a drug for that. And and that's what we're dealing with now. And I'm excited to see this drug,

Track 1 32:04

Ah, boy. So he, uh, begins an attack on Myy, but he's able to block most of it, with a, uh, I guess a sensor of sorts on his Octo.

Giovani 32:25

right?

Track 1 32:26

That

Giovani 32:26

His

Track 1 32:27

that's

Giovani 32:28

histo is so malformed and so busted, and he keeps experimenting on him. And now he has a sensor that all he has to do is hold it and the sword detects and blocks it does not attack. It just blocks the the opponent strikes which is, it's pretty clever.

Track 1 32:50

But that doesn't stop, AYA from trying to unleash his bonai and, um, he manages to pierce mauri through the chest or so we think, because then everything turns around and resets

Giovani 33:08

we get deja vu

Track 1 33:09

Yeah. Back to the beginning of, of, uh, this entire interaction.

Giovani 33:14

and here's the guy who seems aware, he knows like

Track 1 33:17

Yeah. Something happened, right.

Giovani 33:19

He's looking like, okay, what just happened? Which makes me think this guy is a willing participant. He's not a zombie, you know, drool brains. He is, he's just controlled like a type of mind control.

Track 1 33:36

Well, I won't go as far to say as to say a willing participant, but he is aware and, he seems to know what he's doing

Giovani 33:46

Well, I guess what I mean, willing participant is he's a follower, he's not a zombie.

Track 1 33:54

Okay.

Giovani 33:55

But, uh, I think after the second death, Mary Yuri's aware that he's going through this loop and he mentioned that, uh, Toshiro, I've given you the power of hindsight, and this goes into some crazy mumble jumbo, magical power of understanding the situation, the events after it happens, and then you reset. Did you understand any of this?,

Track 1 34:26

it was one of those bleach moments where they are giving you this explanation as to what's taking place, but it's very, uh, convoluted, very, um, complicated

Giovani 34:41

So is all this playing out in Hit Gaia's head or is he like air fighting and mirror's? Just looking at him fighting? Nothing.

Track 1 34:51

Well, when he was explaining it, it um, cause it, at first I wasn't understanding with what he was, with, what he was explaining. I was unsure whether the drug itself was, the one that was affecting him, like was responsible for the actual resetting of things. But then he does, he didn't go back in and explain that. Yeah. The, the drug is responsible for the perceived resetting and that. If you know the reset happens more than like 10 times hits, a guy would get like paralysis for 30 seconds or right?

Giovani 35:39

So now I guess if you pull into it, I think hindsight means. How to say hindsight's 2020, when you look back, maybe he's thinking, okay, this is how I battle Mauri and, and his thoughts. This is how he battles him and it port of the kill. He goes back, at that point, as you said, that's when, I guess several times he's paralyzed and that's when Mauri stab him in the neck. But Ji Zuzu, how did I do?

Track 1 36:17

you know, I'll just let you handle that.

Giovani 36:22

So he stabs him in the neck And then he gives him a drug and Aya does not want this drug. He fears my Uri because my Uri iss a mad scientist.

Track 1 36:31

Yeah. And He has a very painful reaction to the drug.

Giovani 36:36

Right? Which is probably intended because this is Carucci we're talking about,

Track 1 36:41

Yeah. And then surprise, surprise, as, as he's administering the drug, two more captains and a lieutenant have shown up.

Giovani 36:52

can say Rose And ku,

Track 1 36:55

And they are also all ified like I was so mad.

Giovani 37:02

right? So Mauri is disgusted. dis, he's highly disgusted at these people. how, how, is this happening?

Track 1 37:12

Mauri?

Giovani 37:13

Yeah, he was disgusted at like the thought of, we have two captains and a lieutenant and you guys are under giselle's control. Why are, what's the 13th court guard made of just weaklings and helpless? She nami,

Track 1 37:31

yeah.

Giovani 37:32

so mauris wrong. Cause they take on Stan and wrong to

Track 1 37:40

Get to see Bakia, um, fighting a group of Quincy, including, uh, Robert Aron. And he just, he unleashes BCA and makes really quick work of them.

Giovani 37:54

of all of them? Yeah. It fast.

Track 1 37:56

Yeah.

Giovani 37:57

It wasn't, it wasn't even his bonai. It was a Chika, right? Or was it his bonai?

Track 1 38:01

Uh, I thought he said bonai, but I could be wrong.

Giovani 38:05

Ah, we have to look at it

Track 1 38:07

Yeah.

Giovani 38:08

because I don't, I expect a new Bonai from Bakia is gonna be a huge deal just like Reggie's, but I don't know.

Track 1 38:18

I don't know. Well, we, I could, I could be wrong. I thought he said, uh, thought he did unleash ship, but I, that could be a mistake on my part anyway. Uh, but we see stern Riter, l Mr. Peppe, he emerges and is also controlling.

Giovani 38:41

Pepe is controlling Shhe. You that?

Track 1 38:44

him into attacking Bakia.

Giovani 38:46

'cause it was weird, right? How it seemed like, it seemed like Bianchi was just swinging the sword at him. But he wasn't, shhe was striking him and he was just doing a simple block like, what are you doing? are you doing? And then the shoe drops. I'm doing this for Pepe.

Track 1 39:06

I just, you know, I just find it amazing how we're discovering all of a sudden all this, quincy's controlling soul Reapers just out of the blue. Like has it, how long has it been going on? Because you know, well, Giselle has a whole army. Does, does Pepe have a whole army too?

Giovani 39:25

Well, we know he used his power against Jimbo. Uh, I think in part one,

Track 1 39:31

Yeah.

Giovani 39:33

but I don't know the, the whole controlling power thing. I think that was overdone just a little bit.

Track 1 39:41

Are you saying, uh, that's what I was about to say. You think it's being overused because now we have like three different entities who can control people at will.

Giovani 39:51

It's basically mind control. They call it being zombie fired or love, but it's just controlling. And I think TT Kubo. Since he was using the English alphabet, used love and used zombie for the same thing, which is control, minor control.

Track 1 40:11

Okay.

Giovani 40:13

So I don't know, it's kind of weak, but a good.

Track 1 40:17

So we get a little explanation of, um, his power a little. Uh, apparently he, his love power allows him,

Giovani 40:29

cue the seventies. R and

Track 1 40:31

uh,

Giovani 40:32

that was nice.

Track 1 40:34

it's love power

Giovani 40:37

Yeah,

Track 1 40:38

allows him to control people or things with souls. And apparently he can steal zpac toes because they have souls anytime he wants.

Giovani 40:52

I knew that.

Track 1 40:53

Did you know that?

Giovani 40:54

I did,

Track 1 40:55

I feel like I didn't know that. How do you know that? Did I miss that. No.

Giovani 41:01

You know what it is? You don't watch the, the, uh, the Phil episodes of bleach.

Track 1 41:07

oh. oh. I, I

Giovani 41:10

You do

Track 1 41:11

sometimes. Maybe I just kind of forgot or glanced over it or something. All right. Uh, but, uh, he tried it on Bakia, his power, his love power, but it doesn't work. And then he changes into his, uh,

Giovani 41:29

Cupid form

Track 1 41:30

cubit suit. Yeah. His cubit form uh, in attempt to like do a killing blow on him. But then he is blocked by Mauri again.

Giovani 41:45

Here we goes.

Track 1 41:47

Mauri comes himself into another battle with, and he's dragging along his newly, uh, named, uh, CE Corpse unit.

Giovani 42:02

Yeah,

Track 1 42:02

him.

Giovani 42:05

So cool.

Track 1 42:06

Oh my. Oh boy.

Giovani 42:08

So it shows him, uh, infecting Ken and Rose, the same method he used to get that hits the guy with that's, and he explained this like he has the blood of all the so reapers anyway, and he's just cleansing the blood and controlling them. But along the way, URI kills Giselle jewel.

Track 1 42:30

Yeah.

Giovani 42:31

was off screen or not off screen. It was kind of glanced over right.

Track 1 42:38

Uh, a little bit, which was a little annoying because we spent so much time on her

Giovani 42:45

Right,

Track 1 42:46

you know, and all of this. Uh, she's the one that got the whole zombie thing, started.

Giovani 42:53

I think her character was okay. can't say I was a big fan of it, you know, they did drop the shoe that she was a man, you know, she was

Track 1 43:05

Uh, yeah, they did say something like that, that I guess, um, she outwardly appeared, um, female, but she wasn't

Giovani 43:18

yeah, so Bianca's upset that Soul Reaper friends, the captains. Didn't experience a Warrior's death and now they are slaves,

Track 1 43:30

as he should. I, I don't understand what Mary's thinking. And he tries to justify his actions by saying he's doing, everything in his power to protect the certy, even in death, or I guess even in, in, in death of the, um, the soul reapers, but

Giovani 43:52

I'm kind of up in the air, I'm kind of up in the air with this because these are powers that we need in this fight. We need can say, and we need roles. And if the enemy took them, why not take them back? And they can, they'll eventually die. You know, they're officially, but might need them right

Track 1 44:12

you are on the enemy. Any any means necessary boat. Is that where you

Giovani 44:17

now since we realized that Pepe's here. And he could take control of them too, you know, might as well just put'em under your control, you know, under Maori's control, know,

Track 1 44:30

That's one way to look at it, I suppose.

Giovani 44:32

come on over to Maori's

Track 1 44:33

no..Uh, may you raise injecting, uh, people against their will? I don't think so. So, but then, uh, Pepe is out by Lili. Toto,

Giovani 44:52

yeah.

Track 1 44:52

yeah.

Giovani 44:54

So

Track 1 44:54

think it

Giovani 44:55

there was a scene. there was a scene in there were Pepe tries to take back control of Ken and Maur is like, these are my zombies and they are immune to everything, including your love. And he gets scared and runs off and that's when. girl with the mouth decides to eat him, which again, I think is estranged power to eat somebody.

Track 1 45:25

it, it's not really pleasant to look at, but you know, I guess it's effective

Giovani 45:33

Lily Toto is the only stern Riter alive or up upright

Track 1 45:40

Yeah.

Giovani 45:40

the only one upright.

Track 1 45:42

Yeah. All right, so that, uh, wraps up episode 23.

Giovani 45:52

Yep. After

Track 1 45:53

Um, yeah, we get a little after credits. We see, uh, Yuha, oru and Al and they have arrived to the Royal palace.

Giovani 46:10

that's basically what Yuha says. arrived.

Track 1 46:13

they've arrived. They made it. So, uh, the next episode 24 is, um, gonna be called too Early to win. Too Late to know. So we'll see

Giovani 46:27

sounds good.

Track 1 46:28

Yeah, a lot of things are happening here. Lot of things, so,

Giovani 46:32

is speaking up.

Track 1 46:33

yeah.

Giovani 46:34

It's uh, I like the fact that, uh, we gotta see Ichigo a bit. We got to see Mauri. He was the star of the show.

Track 1 46:43

Yeah.

Giovani 46:44

And uh, we finally got to see pep pee because pep pee was the stone. I thought we saw all the stern ritters, but then they intro reintroduced us to peppy, which was good too.

Track 1 46:59

Yeah.

Giovani 47:00

So you wanna do our rain rankings? Our ratings.

Track 1 47:05

Uh, sure. Uh, I guess we can just do one breathings, just lump them in together.'cause they were eventually

Giovani 47:14

gonna

Track 1 47:14

one show. Yeah. So, um, uh, I'll give this one a solid eight.

Giovani 47:25

eight.

Track 1 47:26

I think Mauri Mauri really, saved the day in terms of these two episodes. And, um, I. I don't know. I, he just made so many moves that shocked me. So

Giovani 47:41

Yeah.

Track 1 47:42

know, gave it a nice round eight.

Giovani 47:45

I give it a 8.5 Bon Kais, uh, Mauri was the star of the show, and we did get to see a lot of other cool stuff. And anytime that Stern Riles fall. I think it's a good episode because the stern riles were up for such a long time. And Pepe's gone. Bambi's gone. Giselle's gone. Uh, Robert Kerron and Nana Na, I think they're down. They may not be out, but they're at least down. And I mean, it's just overall goodness. And it builds too because we're going into the Soul Palace next, and big names are at the Soul Palace, so 8.5

Track 1 48:36

All right.

Giovani 48:37

and that's the worst

Track 1 48:40

Uh, so, huh,

Giovani 48:43

can I go with my best?

Track 1 48:44

Oh my goodness. What's your best,

Giovani 48:47

It's Karachi Mauri.

Track 1 48:50

oh, well, that's my best of course.

Giovani 48:53

He's the guy who makes a plan and follows it to the team. And if that doesn't work, he comes up, he uses his backup plan. If that doesn't work, he uses a drug You know? It is, it's brilliant. It is. I like Mauri now better than I did before, and I think his fight with Uri you the first time around helped him with the Quincy. This time. Just put that out there because that's really the only time he is lost against Uri U.

Track 1 49:29

Uh, okay. Well, I have to agree that, uh, in terms of Best May, uh, Mauri was the standout. In these two episodes. He just, you know, like I'm, I like Mary, Mr. Son, God himself. And, uh, he just surprised me. He just really surprised me. I do like, like you said, that he has a plan, but he is so scary though. He really is. And, um, the fact that it's kind of like, you know, you get those characters sometimes in shows that like the, the, they wanna do something good, they're gonna save the day, but saving the day requires them to like, kill everybody in the next town, to save the town that they're in,

Giovani 50:26

Wow.

Track 1 50:27

or something like that. Like he.

Giovani 50:29

You went dark,

Track 1 50:31

I'm just, I'm, I'm saying that's, that seems to be like the kinda character that he is. And, uh, I'm, I'm not sure that I can always rock with that, but he does make it interesting and he's an interesting watch. You always wanna know what he is gonna do next, so

Giovani 50:47

I can't wait to see him fight other stern raiders because this is not his last fight, I don't think.

Track 1 50:54

yeah.

Giovani 50:55

Can I talk about my worst?

Track 1 50:57

Go ahead.

Giovani 50:58

Because I kind of, this was kind of a lead in, in this Yu Chica in Kaku, they are side characters who are very strong. Like before this war, the thousand year blood war,

Track 1 51:14

Yeah.

Giovani 51:15

these were really strong, strong captain. I thought they were captain level strength, uh, lieutenants and they are. Reduced to Like the B squad.

Track 1 51:30

Like

Giovani 51:30

I mean,

Track 1 51:30

sidekicks,

Giovani 51:32

Yeah. It's like KO has a powerful bonai. It is slow and Yumi chicas actually takes your soap, uh, your, your energy from you, your, your spiritual pressure from you when he uses it. But we got nothing. We got,

Track 1 51:49

you, why do you think that is?

Giovani 51:52

I mean, I don't know. Yu Chika says he doesn't want to show people his bonai because it's not a strength bonai, it's kind of like a keto bonai and Squat 11 try themself off power, not, you know, magical

Track 1 52:09

Right?

Giovani 52:11

But I don't know. I, I don't know. They, they completely wasted Iku and Yuka and Shhe and Shhe Shhe did all that training for nothing. I mean, master masculine beat him. So I gotta be honest with you, if they didn't handle OG and Robert Aron and any, any of the rest of those, the B squad, who are they gonna beat?

Track 1 52:39

Right.

Giovani 52:40

it is it for them.

Track 1 52:42

that's a valid point.

Giovani 52:44

that's my works.

Track 1 52:45

Okay. Uh, so my worst, um, I just think it's gonna be that we didn't get to see what exactly happened with, um, AYA and ku. I, I didn't like that they took that offscreen and, um, you know, I know at first we were speculating that, okay, well what, they went and killed him offscreen. And then now, um, I guess he may not exactly be dead, just controlled.

Giovani 53:15

Right.

Track 1 53:15

Um, but, yeah, I didn't like that. I feel like he's too big of a character to be doing offscreen things and we see what happened. Yeah, I didn't like that. So that was my,

Giovani 53:29

and he could be really dead. I think he could be, that's it

Track 1 53:32

I mean, yeah, he could really be dead, If he really is, I'm gonna be really mad though, like I, I am

Giovani 53:39

brought BIA back. I mean, he was,

Track 1 53:41

Yeah. he had to go soak in the, in the pond for, you know, who, who knows how long,

Giovani 53:48

maybe he soaking in the pond. So maybe that's Soak hits the

Track 1 53:50

Now hit you guys on the, um, mauris control. Do you think he's give them up now that he has them,

Giovani 53:57

Oh man,

Track 1 53:57

know, he's gonna stuff them in his own

Giovani 53:59

I didn't think about that.

Track 1 54:01

Right. All right.

Giovani 54:04

well we're done. We wrapped it up pretty fast. was like a speed run

Track 1 54:10

we don't wanna drag it on, have here all night,

Giovani 54:13

right?

Track 1 54:14

um, yeah, I, I enjoyed the episodes. I thought they were pretty good. Um, the temple seems to be, uh, nice and steady., I, I do wish that they would kind of taper off all the extra Quincy that we don't care about. really,

Giovani 54:32

They're kind of, they're kind of doing that, but I just wish like Iko, Yuka and, uh, shhe had a bigger part in, because it was pretty much bki. You're killing everybody. He just flexed. And that was that. Towards the end of the series, I do want to get your opinion about your wish. Part. Did you like part one or part two the best? Which was the stronger,

Track 1 54:59

uh,

Giovani 54:59

uh, season, if we can call it a season.

Track 1 55:03

a season. Oh, I thought you talking about the two episodes.

Giovani 55:06

know, I'm, I'm going full season.

Track 1 55:09

That's a good

Giovani 55:09

We can't do it now because We have three more to go.

Track 1 55:13

Oh, that goes your cat behind you.

Giovani 55:15

Uh,

Track 1 55:15

Uh,

Giovani 55:18

stay off my video.

Track 1 55:19

well, yeah, I'll, I'll think about it, but, um, I will say that,'cause we have all of that with, um, Yamamoto and everything in part one I think part two kind of got off to a slightly slower start. It did pick up, but it was a little bit slower. So, I mean, I guess there's

Giovani 55:41

it now. You can't do it now.

Track 1 55:43

Oh, okay. I guess

Giovani 55:44

can't do it now. We, we

Track 1 55:46

we'll answer it at the, we'll answer it at the end and the final episode

Giovani 55:50

Absolutely.

Track 1 55:50

of the season. All right. Uh, any news, uh, anything you we need to announce or tell the people before we ha get outta

Giovani 56:01

Uh, no, no, just the usual. Go through the Facebook page. Um, waiting for the Instagram page. Waiting, waiting, waiting.

Track 1 56:09

You're waiting, waiting, waiting. we're getting, we're getting, there, you guys, very slowly. Hopefully we can get that up for you guys. And, um. Have a, have another outlet to start interacting. And, um, yeah, I think that's it.

Giovani 56:25

Yeah.

Track 1 56:27

All right. Have a good night.

Giovani 56:29

Danielle.
