Speaker:

Howdy.

Speaker:

It's the Southern Senpai Show.

Speaker:

Where small town southerners explore big time Japanese entertainment.

Speaker:

Anime, manga, and everything in between.

Speaker:

Here's your hosts, Nicholas and DJ.

Speaker:

What's going on, y'all?

Speaker:

This is Southern Senpais.

Speaker:

Two Japanese guys.

Speaker:

Time!

Speaker:

Wait, do it again, do it again.

Speaker:

I'm going to keep it in this time.

Speaker:

It's great.

Speaker:

For those of you listening, um, if you don't know, Nicholas

Speaker:

has never gotten this right.

Speaker:

What are we doing today, Nicholas?

Speaker:

Wait, are we really doing this?

Speaker:

Yes, because...

Speaker:

Nicholas has never...

Speaker:

I have been doing all the editing to make him not sound like he's done this.

Speaker:

But I'm so tired.

Speaker:

We gotta get started today.

Speaker:

What are you doing today, Nicholas?

Speaker:

We are going to watch season 2 of Jujutsu Kaisen.

Speaker:

We're watching just episode 1.

Speaker:

We're not watching the whole season.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

If you want us to watch the whole season, you're gonna have

Speaker:

to get through Nicholas first.

Speaker:

No, I'm not doing it.

Speaker:

Nicholas.

Speaker:

I hate this series.

Speaker:

I don't like this series at all.

Speaker:

Can you tell them why though?

Speaker:

You can't just say it.

Speaker:

Because one of my favorite animes is Naruto.

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

Right?

Speaker:

It's one of my favorite animes.

Speaker:

It's um, he seems to be one of the creators here anyways as well.

Speaker:

, right?

Speaker:

So, um, and I had heard about Juujitsu Kaizen a lot.

Speaker:

I had heard that a lot of people really, really like this series.

Speaker:

And I was like, you know what?

Speaker:

Okay, cool.

Speaker:

Um, I'll check it out.

Speaker:

And I checked out the first episode and it was literally a carbon.

Speaker:

Copy of Naruto from down from the characters to the relationships I mean

Speaker:

the to the demon in the chest like yeah, so like the Sake it Sasuke Sakura Naruto.

Speaker:

I mean their teacher has white hair and is super power It could not be more of a

Speaker:

carbon copy Then Jujutsu Kaisen, and I was like, this, like, screw this series, man.

Speaker:

So, why are we watching it today, you guys might be wondering.

Speaker:

Well, here's the thing.

Speaker:

Turns out a lot of people had, not, well, not the passionate hate that Nicholas

Speaker:

has, but, had similar things to say about it, uh, especially the first season.

Speaker:

So, then...

Speaker:

Apparently, uh, they had a movie.

Speaker:

I, so I finished the first season.

Speaker:

I thought it was, I didn't think it was as great as some people say it was.

Speaker:

I thought the movie was pretty cool though.

Speaker:

I liked the movie a lot.

Speaker:

So then, um, I had someone that told me like, Oh, the second season is

Speaker:

when it's not like Naruto at all.

Speaker:

And I was I don't know.

Speaker:

So that's why I decided.

Speaker:

You know what?

Speaker:

I think, I, I do want to give it another shot.

Speaker:

Because I've seen the first season, I think it's, I think, I don't, I thought

Speaker:

the first season was like, alright.

Speaker:

I mean, I didn't think it was fantastic, a lot of people did, but that was alright.

Speaker:

I mean, I kind of enjoyed myself.

Speaker:

Nicholas didn't like it at all.

Speaker:

I saw the movie, and only because I liked the movie.

Speaker:

The reason I was gonna give this, uh, second season a try.

Speaker:

Alright, so, without further ado, and, you know what?

Speaker:

We, we, we're gonna, we're gonna be doing this with no scene enhancements.

Speaker:

No scene enhancers.

Speaker:

For, for now.

Speaker:

For now.

Speaker:

Alright.

Speaker:

So, um, if you're going to watch along, we are starting at zero, zero, okay?

Speaker:

And, uh, and if you're watching with some of the Funimation beginning

Speaker:

parts, like all that stuff, we don't.

Speaker:

Yeah, we don't do that.

Speaker:

We don't have that.

Speaker:

We just have the actual episode.

Speaker:

All right.

Speaker:

Uh, can I press play in three, two, one, boom.

Speaker:

All right, just a big shadow walking, dude, is that a, okay, no, I thought,

Speaker:

I thought it was something else, bro.

Speaker:

I ain't going to lie.

Speaker:

It was just a long cylinder shadow, phallic symbol, and there was like

Speaker:

two like humps things under it.

Speaker:

I was like, bro.

Speaker:

Pause this season is popping off.

Speaker:

What out the front?

Speaker:

Oh Okay, here's this game.

Speaker:

Oh That's the guy who did the demon stuff.

Speaker:

Oh You know what So this this is right after the movie.

Speaker:

This is this it's season 2 first episode So this is I heard it's before

Speaker:

the movie So yeah, there was the first season and then the movie was

Speaker:

right before the first season and then now this is before the movie Gotcha.

Speaker:

It's why, it's, it's like, when the white haired guy was a, was a student

Speaker:

basically, is what timeline this is.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

What do they taste like?

Speaker:

Taste like?

Speaker:

Ew.

Speaker:

That's gross.

Speaker:

Why?

Speaker:

Why did you do that?

Speaker:

Wait, it's anime, but it's also made to look like it was in the 80s or 90s.

Speaker:

That's cool, because like, how else would you show home videos in anime?

Speaker:

You would do it like this.

Speaker:

That's a very interesting way to do it.

Speaker:

I ain't gonna lie, that's kind of cool.

Speaker:

Do you imagine how much work it takes to make it look like that?

Speaker:

You gotta make it look like regular anime, and then you

Speaker:

gotta make it look like it's old.

Speaker:

No, I think what they're doing is they just do it however they

Speaker:

used to do it back in the day.

Speaker:

You know how they treat slaves over there.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Unfortunately, there's a lot of unpaid work in anime,

Speaker:

and that's very unfortunate.

Speaker:

They have windows.

Speaker:

Oh, great shot.

Speaker:

Right?

Speaker:

That's it.

Speaker:

That's some nice fan service.

Speaker:

You know what?

Speaker:

That's the end.

Speaker:

The season's getting better and better!

Speaker:

I might change my mind about Jujutsu Kaisen!

Speaker:

You know what this animation reminds me of?

Speaker:

This animation reminds me of, uh, the Digimon movie.

Speaker:

I think everything reminds you of the Digimon movie.

Speaker:

I think you have a serious problem.

Speaker:

Which is crazy, because it's like 23 years apart.

Speaker:

I think that you just like the Digimon movie, and you project

Speaker:

it on everything that you see.

Speaker:

It could be the

Speaker:

case.

Speaker:

Black people don't, don't do that.

Speaker:

What have you ever seen a black jujitsu sorcerer do a veil?

Speaker:

That's right.

Speaker:

You haven't seen a black jujitsu sorcerer.

Speaker:

Cuz you haven't seen a black jujitsu sorcerer.

Speaker:

Well, actually there was a black bad guy in the first one, in the first season.

Speaker:

There's like, he has like a beret on though.

Speaker:

So I think he's French.

Speaker:

So that doesn't really count.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

French people don't count as people, just in general.

Speaker:

You better watch out or they're going to do a civil war.

Speaker:

Oh no, they might sit on their chairs and smoke cigarettes.

Speaker:

To be fair, they also really hate Americans.

Speaker:

So, oh, the feeling is mutual then.

Speaker:

Have you ever been to France?

Speaker:

No.

Speaker:

I got to say, as someone who's been a nigga in Paris.

Speaker:

I heard it stinks.

Speaker:

Well, I mean and it looks trash.

Speaker:

There is a lot of rats there I will say that much like I'd

Speaker:

like I started this smell.

Speaker:

It's kind of like it's not like Hollywood Boulevard Or like town

Speaker:

Times Square like you think it's gonna be great or like Bourbon Street.

Speaker:

Yeah, it's just it's great If you're also drunk, but if you're not it's horrible.

Speaker:

I Want to you know who I want to be I want to be the person who And I'm gonna save

Speaker:

a lot of anime voice actors like white.

Speaker:

I guarantee you they were . I guarantee you they would be.

Speaker:

You wanna be white?

Speaker:

No.

Speaker:

I guarantee you they would pay me for this.

Speaker:

I'm the guy who goes, what?

Speaker:

I would save them 20 hours of time by just doing that.

Speaker:

So she just did it.

Speaker:

I love how it has Monica, the little twinkle in eye.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Mm mm mm mm

Speaker:

Oh, is that a noose?

Speaker:

Man, that's racist!

Speaker:

I mean, I wasn't gonna say that, but what I was gonna say is...

Speaker:

I mean, there's not even anyone in it, you know what I mean?

Speaker:

Like...

Speaker:

But actually to be fair, every time I see a noose, it does remind me of that joke.

Speaker:

I was just about to say that joke that that guy told you.

Speaker:

Yeah, I'm not gonna say that.

Speaker:

I'm from the South, obviously it's called Southern Sempais.

Speaker:

And I met this dude in high school, and it was the first time of me meeting him.

Speaker:

And he said a joke to me that I will not repeat on this podcast.

Speaker:

Why not?

Speaker:

I mean, well I guess there's no bad words in it.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

We're supposed to be doing commentary on the...

Speaker:

I'll tell a joke a different time.

Speaker:

And it's not really a joke, it's really offensive.

Speaker:

It's super racist.

Speaker:

They animated that part really well for like no reason.

Speaker:

All she did was stick her hands in the air and run out.

Speaker:

Are

Speaker:

you gonna have sex with her?

Speaker:

Did you?

Speaker:

What?

Speaker:

Girls with

Speaker:

white hair are just another level of hotness.

Speaker:

Is that, do you think that's like, so, if you could, if you, if you, could

Speaker:

design one, you know, you're a manga artist, and you want to create the

Speaker:

asterisk, she's going to have white hair?

Speaker:

Probably.

Speaker:

What about, uh, what about blue?

Speaker:

You like blue?

Speaker:

Or is white still, like, the white hair is the way to go?

Speaker:

And is it silver or is it white?

Speaker:

Because I think hers is kind of like silver looking.

Speaker:

Silver, yeah.

Speaker:

Kind of silver.

Speaker:

It kind of portrays Psycho.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Oh, the long corridor thing.

Speaker:

Hmm.

Speaker:

You know what that kind of reminds me of?

Speaker:

What?

Speaker:

You're gonna think this is stupid, but that kind of reminds, wasn't there

Speaker:

that, that, that frog jutsu in Naruto?

Speaker:

Yeah!

Speaker:

Hahahahaha!

Speaker:

Oh, my gosh, go

Speaker:

with guns.

Speaker:

I know you didn't see the movie, but the bad guy wins by

Speaker:

shooting someone with a gun.

Speaker:

Like everyone is using all these powers throughout the whole movie and

Speaker:

like throughout the series, right?

Speaker:

The bad guy literally pulls out a 22 gauge, shoots the victim,

Speaker:

and then it's like, okay, I won because I just shot him in the face.

Speaker:

I'm being serious.

Speaker:

That's how, that's how the, that's how the movie, and that's like how one of

Speaker:

the bad, like, so one of the good guys That's how he turns into a bad guy.

Speaker:

Because the other bad guy just won by shooting someone in the face So

Speaker:

he's like, if you just shoot someone in the face, why am I a good person?

Speaker:

That's crazy That's what made me like that movie, I was like, oh But I,

Speaker:

he's like, all the, all this anime bullshit, fuck that, I have a gun!

Speaker:

Then at some point what?

Speaker:

What's that face?

Speaker:

Who is this person?

Speaker:

Oh wait, you know what?

Speaker:

I don't think that was the movie I saw that did that.

Speaker:

I think, I think, I think, I think it was a YouTube video I saw that did that.

Speaker:

The movie, the movie didn't have that.

Speaker:

It was a YouTube video I saw that did that.

Speaker:

So actually I'm not really sure what episode that done that.

Speaker:

So you just lied.

Speaker:

Yeah, yeah, my brain does that a lot.

Speaker:

The house evaporates it couldn't extend it

Speaker:

the house is already done.

Speaker:

Oh He oh, he did it.

Speaker:

Okay, that makes sense

Speaker:

Oh, this is the opening credits yo, dude, that was the That was like the

Speaker:

first half of the of the Opening credits

Speaker:

Yeah, you know what, I'm really sure now, not remembering the movie, that gun

Speaker:

thing was just a YouTube video I saw.

Speaker:

All credibility just gone.

Speaker:

I mean, yeah.

Speaker:

I'm usually drunk during this, so maybe if I drink again,

Speaker:

my credibility will increase.

Speaker:

What is your opinion of this theme song opening?

Speaker:

I think that it looks really cool.

Speaker:

No, I The, the actual song.

Speaker:

Bro.

Speaker:

I'm afraid, would you?

Speaker:

I, this would not even make my memory.

Speaker:

This song, like, like, this is not one of my top anime songs.

Speaker:

Not this one.

Speaker:

I think this song right now is just a placeholder.

Speaker:

Like, this is just like a And anyone who says, like, this song

Speaker:

slaps, I think you just like it.

Speaker:

I think you might just be a weed, bro.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker:

Alright.

Speaker:

Bro, something about psycho crazy chicks, man.

Speaker:

Whoa.

Speaker:

Ha ha, that's what she said.

Speaker:

That's what she said.

Speaker:

His name's Gato?

Speaker:

Is

Speaker:

that a singer and or is that a sucker?

Speaker:

It could be either one.

Speaker:

This is anime.

Speaker:

I'm gonna say Sucker because it's not lit and she's not like constantly

Speaker:

like holding it in her mouth

Speaker:

They're gone for two days

Speaker:

Whoever this guy is who's just like wiggling in the middle.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

I, I, like, I identify with this.

Speaker:

I don't really care what's going on here.

Speaker:

I love this trend in anime.

Speaker:

Now you might not appreciate this, but I love the trend in anime.

Speaker:

To just give all the cool people black guy haircuts.

Speaker:

I support this movement 100%!

Speaker:

As a black man.

Speaker:

As a bla I'll sign off on it.

Speaker:

For the whole black race!

Speaker:

Heh heh heh.

Speaker:

The Shikamaru haircut.

Speaker:

The man did a cross?

Speaker:

Bro, they went to play ball?

Speaker:

Ball is life.

Speaker:

Please miss this dunk.

Speaker:

Yo, you didn't even dunk it, of course.

Speaker:

Wait, aren't you going to be a teacher in the future?

Speaker:

Bro, that was a hard brick.

Speaker:

Hard.

Speaker:

Damn.

Speaker:

Flexed on that man.

Speaker:

Did

Speaker:

he say bullshit?

Speaker:

Yeah, I didn't know they cursed.

Speaker:

She's leaving?

Speaker:

There's something you two anyway.

Speaker:

What are those faces for?

Speaker:

Frankly, I think it's too much for you.

Speaker:

But Tengen asked for you specifically.

Speaker:

Your mission has two goals.

Speaker:

The Star Plasma Vessel is the one compatible with Tengen.

Speaker:

Huh?

Speaker:

You are to escort that girl.

Speaker:

And a racer.

Speaker:

He asked for some bread and then a racer?!

Speaker:

That's right.

Speaker:

He's finally gonna see now.

Speaker:

It is spring.

Speaker:

His head's probably full with being the next principal.

Speaker:

All jokes aside though, I didn't sound like a joke to you.

Speaker:

Is this about renewing Tengen's technique?

Speaker:

Hm?

Speaker:

What's that?

Speaker:

What possesses the cursed technique of immortality.

Speaker:

Oh wow.

Speaker:

Not a problem.

Speaker:

You'll cease to be human and become a higher form of existence.

Speaker:

What's so bad about that?

Speaker:

Sounds sweet.

Speaker:

According to tending, those who reach that state of being no longer have

Speaker:

any free will, it means that tending would cease to be tending any longer.

Speaker:

All the jujitsu schools, the barriers that form the foundation of jujitsu

Speaker:

society, the many barrier techniques of the assistant supervisors,

Speaker:

they're all being strengthened by 10.

Speaker:

Dang!

Speaker:

Dang, man.

Speaker:

Some more Roachy and Moro type stuff.

Speaker:

OOOH!

Speaker:

Oh!

Speaker:

Digimon?!

Speaker:

That means they watch Digimon in this universe!

Speaker:

Dude!

Speaker:

Digimon confirmed?!

Speaker:

Okay, you know what?

Speaker:

Didn't I just, didn't we just talk about Digimon before?

Speaker:

Yeah!

Speaker:

Alright, that's it.

Speaker:

I'm gonna, I'm gonna just call it This season is officially

Speaker:

better than the first one.

Speaker:

Any mention of Digimon automakes, automakes Oh, automatically.

Speaker:

Makes it better, yeah.

Speaker:

I was like, did they just mention Digimon?

Speaker:

Aren't these the two most powerful people in the show?

Speaker:

And they're just like walking around like a couple of bums.

Speaker:

. Yeah.

Speaker:

The star plasma vessel and impurity in their minds to

Speaker:

blend into him is unforgivable.

Speaker:

The star religious group is made up of non sorcerers.

Speaker:

I don't think we need to pay them.

Speaker:

Any mind wants to be wary of or definite.

Speaker:

Q Oh Q.

Speaker:

The Q anon.

Speaker:

. That's getting really good.

Speaker:

Holy.

Speaker:

Just say this for a while.

Speaker:

I think you should really stop being so full of yourself.

Speaker:

Especially when you're with your superiors.

Speaker:

Being 10 years soon.

Speaker:

You really should be more polite and honey to the juniors as well.

Speaker:

Yeah, screw that.

Speaker:

Come on,

Speaker:

Satoru.

Speaker:

Whatever.

Speaker:

Hang on, I always liked the Mandarin collar look.

Speaker:

Mm hmm.

Speaker:

It's way better than these

Speaker:

Morning!

Speaker:

Oh, she came all right.

Speaker:

Oh, the kid's right there, so.

Speaker:

Go get him.

Speaker:

Oh, a squid!

Speaker:

Okay, cool.

Speaker:

To be fair, like,

Speaker:

Imagine a world, like, It's so funny, like, anime has so many powerful

Speaker:

people, All across it, And they always get beat up by high schoolers.

Speaker:

Yeah, you know, that's crazy.

Speaker:

You have these grown people, Who have been training their whole lives, And

Speaker:

they always get beat up by teenagers.

Speaker:

Unless it's Naruto, then it's middle schoolers.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

Ah, that's pretty cool.

Speaker:

Fushiguro.

Speaker:

Isn't that, isn't that the last name of the uh, One of

Speaker:

the kids from the first season?

Speaker:

Probably.

Speaker:

Uh, well, uh, what do you think, Nicholas?

Speaker:

Uh, to me personally, I don't think they're all that much.

Speaker:

Uh, I think it's better than the first season, based on a couple of factors.

Speaker:

Digimon!

Speaker:

Digimon being one of them.

Speaker:

The second factor is black guy haircut.

Speaker:

I'm always into that.

Speaker:

I'm always into that.

Speaker:

Um, there's, uh...

Speaker:

I also like the, I like the old school animation style.

Speaker:

It, it's...

Speaker:

That was unique.

Speaker:

I'm, I'm, I'm gonna give it a chance.

Speaker:

I ain't gonna lie.

Speaker:

I'm gonna give it a chance.

Speaker:

Yeah, I'm not, so.

Speaker:

Yeah, but doesn't really matter what you think.

Speaker:

Doesn't.

Speaker:

It doesn't really matter what you think.

Speaker:

If you guys really watch this download a lot, then I guess I

Speaker:

won't have a choice, but, you know.

Speaker:

Bruh, if this becomes a really popular episode, you know what that means, right?

Speaker:

That means I have to watch the next episode.

Speaker:

Alright, yeah, in fact, in fact, you know what?

Speaker:

Since he says he doesn't like this episode, if you guys get as many people

Speaker:

as you can to watch this episode, that's what he's saying, I will sit

Speaker:
