Speaker:

Howdy.

Speaker:

It's the Southern Senpai Show.

Speaker:

Where small town southerners explore big time Japanese entertainment, anime,

Speaker:

manga, and everything in between.

Speaker:

Here's your hosts, Nicholas and DJ.

Speaker:

What's up y'all, Southern Senpais, two southern guys who explore

Speaker:

Japanese culture together.

Speaker:

I'm Nicholas.

Speaker:

And I am still DJ.

Speaker:

Maybe not next time but for this time for right now, you're black.

Speaker:

Yeah Exactly what I said, but it is accurate Right now you're black,

Speaker:

we'll figure out the shade tomorrow.

Speaker:

I actually saw Interesting you brought that up.

Speaker:

I saw a it's being advertised on tiktok and instagram.

Speaker:

It's like this cream This asian cream that turns people white.

Speaker:

So there's a whole bunch of It's like this Asian cream that you put on

Speaker:

yourself and it's like a reversed tan.

Speaker:

And like you, you put it on like It's gotta hurt though, doesn't it?

Speaker:

I think it's I don't think so.

Speaker:

I think it's just staining your skin white.

Speaker:

Kind of like a, a temporary tattoo.

Speaker:

Oh.

Speaker:

I think it's staining your skin white, but it's like shampoo.

Speaker:

So it's like all over stain.

Speaker:

And it was, it's weird because it's clearly being advertised to like Koreans

Speaker:

and Asians and Japanese, like Asians, and I'm black and I got it somehow.

Speaker:

I might, Instagram, if you're listening I got it.

Speaker:

And I'm white.

Speaker:

I'm already white.

Speaker:

I sent it to you, though.

Speaker:

Oh, that's true.

Speaker:

Hey, Instagram, if you're listening, stop sending me.

Speaker:

Stop being racist, man.

Speaker:

It's not cool.

Speaker:

It's not even racist.

Speaker:

That's not true.

Speaker:

If someone was racist, they're at least accurate.

Speaker:

You've never heard a KKK member be like, Oh, I just hate black people.

Speaker:

And they're, wanting to go back to China.

Speaker:

No, racists know how to be racist.

Speaker:

For some reason, Instagram sends me a whole bunch of stuff as if I'm Asian.

Speaker:

In fact, I swear to God, two days ago I got this ad.

Speaker:

You do date Asians, I'm not currently.

Speaker:

No, but I didn't say currently.

Speaker:

Yeah, that was like, years ago.

Speaker:

Regardless of which.

Speaker:

That stays on your record as a black man.

Speaker:

It takes at least five years to wash it off.

Speaker:

That was a credit, man.

Speaker:

It's my dating credit.

Speaker:

Dating credit, man.

Speaker:

Two days ago, I got an ad that was like, Do you want to learn English?

Speaker:

It was like in actual Korean.

Speaker:

It was I couldn't I can't speak koreans.

Speaker:

I was saying, but like it translated at the bottom like oh

Speaker:

Do you want to learn english, you know sound like a real american?

Speaker:

What are you watching or where are you going to that?

Speaker:

They think you're?

Speaker:

Asian, i'm on black twitter and black instagram.

Speaker:

Listen, i'm not really sure you tell it on yourself because

Speaker:

obviously not clearly something.

Speaker:

Oh, you know what else you know what actually i haven't actually do know

Speaker:

what's going on here What's going on?

Speaker:

You The issue is that I still eat fried rice And sometimes they be

Speaker:

looking up Chinese restaurants or like Asian themed restaurants.

Speaker:

I do like Asian food.

Speaker:

Yeah, that's probably the issue Women so you like Asian food,

Speaker:

you'd to eat that sushi down Gone pop toe with the rice balls.

Speaker:

Yeah, I went on the that dude That thing was closed yesterday.

Speaker:

I didn't know it was closed on Sunday neither day I don't really

Speaker:

I don't really go there on Sundays.

Speaker:

But yeah, so I think that's the issue I'm looking up too many Asian themed

Speaker:

restaurants and then I guess the assumes that I'm Asian which is weird because

Speaker:

that also implies that Asians can't eat anything else besides Asian food things

Speaker:

like According to Instagram Asians have never eaten a taco before ever.

Speaker:

No, that's not how their advertising works You know, I so I wonder

Speaker:

if I start googling hair grease Yeah, and chicken and waffles.

Speaker:

That's why it was recommending me a bunch of black chicks Whenever I was looking up

Speaker:

all that hair stuff like all those wigs and oh, yeah Why people don't know a lot

Speaker:

about moisturizer all the well not the moisturizer part I have dry scalp guys,

Speaker:

just so you know but it's bad enough to where I had to give him Some black

Speaker:

people, I was like, dude, you can't keep coming my office and you're snowing out.

Speaker:

Yeah snowing, but no, because of the ventilating stuff, I was looking up

Speaker:

what to do, water wave Oh, you use conditioner and stuff like that, right?

Speaker:

Yeah, conditioner, the type of hair, and Instagram was like

Speaker:

I guess you're a black chick.

Speaker:

I guess you're a black chick.

Speaker:

What you think of this, and this?

Speaker:

I was like, that's crap.

Speaker:

Cause I already know all this, right?

Speaker:

And it was just like, then after a while, it was like, oh no, you're a white man.

Speaker:

It's all good.

Speaker:

I didn't get to that stage.

Speaker:

I didn't get to that.

Speaker:

I'll just type in soul food into Instagram's search

Speaker:

box I got three four times.

Speaker:

You're like Drake.

Speaker:

You have to prove your blackness no, no Fucking Canadian you're insecure

Speaker:

about your blackness Not really.

Speaker:

I just want to stop being claimed as Asian.

Speaker:

Apparently I'm being claimed by other races.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

I can't, sorry.

Speaker:

This is like the Dave Chappelle racial draft.

Speaker:

The Asians have already drafted you.

Speaker:

What am I, Wu Tang?

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

I miss that show.

Speaker:

Dave Chappelle's show was bad funny.

Speaker:

This is not what we're talking about today.

Speaker:

Today we're talking about episode seven of Solo Leveling.

Speaker:

And again DJ is not a fan of this anime anymore.

Speaker:

No I am not.

Speaker:

I guarantee the first half of this.

Speaker:

Is not even watchable and then the second half is going to

Speaker:

be interesting you know what?

Speaker:

What is it 23 minutes 40 seconds here?

Speaker:

I'm going to say the first 10 minutes of this is useless and You know what else?

Speaker:

What?

Speaker:

I'm also gonna say they're gonna show that bitch who tells him like, oh, you're not

Speaker:

good enough, you should fuck off and die.

Speaker:

And that's his love interest, right?

Speaker:

Heheheheheheheheheheh And now that he's attractive, I guarantee you she's gonna

Speaker:

look at him cause he changed physically.

Speaker:

Looks nothing like he did before.

Speaker:

Now he's a straight up G.

Speaker:

Now he's a straight up G, edge lord, shadow the hedgehog, he's the type

Speaker:

of person who's like Also if you guys didn't know, DJ's a writer,

Speaker:

so he can tell where this is going.

Speaker:

He's like one of those people who was like They're in the alpha male content.

Speaker:

They would model themselves and he's one of those guys who's like It's me.

Speaker:

I may be a nice guy, but don't push me too hard And then he's as a lion in the

Speaker:

background of the video And you see how you see why I am the king of the jungle,

Speaker:

you know I'm saying like and she's like

Speaker:

All right again, we don't have those studio intros We don't do that.

Speaker:

Because we are real One piece Luffy over here.

Speaker:

We're gonna press play in three.

Speaker:

He's a pirate.

Speaker:

Three.

Speaker:

Yeah, I know he's a pirate.

Speaker:

Two.

Speaker:

One.

Speaker:

Oh, they're actually starting off with the No, it's just the intro, dude.

Speaker:

God this song is also not good.

Speaker:

I thought that was the other chick, right?

Speaker:

She like, they look dissimilar.

Speaker:

They all look like cats, remember?

Speaker:

I think I should be able to determine, I think this is bad character design,

Speaker:

where I can't tell who is who.

Speaker:

Even cats look different from each other.

Speaker:

A little bit.

Speaker:

This is if I told an alien, that if I described an anime intro

Speaker:

to an alien, this is the type of thing that they would come up with.

Speaker:

This looks like an AI generated haiki.

Speaker:

Is he just gonna use that dagger throughout the whole series?

Speaker:

Because that's the L.

Speaker:

Everything gets upgraded, but the dagger?

Speaker:

Or are you just, Also he can't die?

Speaker:

Cause he's died like twice now.

Speaker:

That he got a green mushroom, okay?

Speaker:

I don't know.

Speaker:

He's getting one ups since he's like a gang guy.

Speaker:

You, you like this is you right here, right?

Speaker:

This intro.

Speaker:

You love this intro.

Speaker:

No.

Speaker:

No.

Speaker:

Let me turn it up for you real fast.

Speaker:

Yeah, let's get it.

Speaker:

Let's get it.

Speaker:

Alright.

Speaker:

see what we got here.

Speaker:

Let's get it!

Speaker:

Let's do it!

Speaker:

Oh, he cares about these voice lines.

Speaker:

Why does he look like American Psycho?

Speaker:

Patrick Bateman.

Speaker:

These are the two most bored voice actors I've heard in my entire life.

Speaker:

They're like, ah, this is a big change.

Speaker:

Ah.

Speaker:

Ha.

Speaker:

Ha.

Speaker:

Ha.

Speaker:

We were talking about how the Asians love you man.

Speaker:

No wonder I've been trading places with this guy.

Speaker:

He's gotten all my blackness and I've absorbed his Asian ness.

Speaker:

Is that KFC?

Speaker:

Is that KFC?

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Come on man, it's Popeyes.

Speaker:

It's Popeyes.

Speaker:

No, it wouldn't Popeyes if it was orange, the orange thing,

Speaker:

you know what I'm saying?

Speaker:

No, but you gotta get Popeyes, not KFC.

Speaker:

I don't know if they have Popeyes in, in Japan.

Speaker:

They might be too black.

Speaker:

They got a limit over there.

Speaker:

Maybe.

Speaker:

KFC has a white man on it in the box.

Speaker:

I liked it.

Speaker:

It's a ginger ale?

Speaker:

Actually, this, no, what I take all of that back.

Speaker:

Actually, the person who created this, I'm pretty sure it was like that, one

Speaker:

of those web novel thingies, right?

Speaker:

Those are Korean.

Speaker:

This wasn't a Japanese manga, it was like one of those Korean web novels.

Speaker:

So Koreans love fried chicken, actually.

Speaker:

Yeah, so during the Korean War, black people were drafted a lot, and

Speaker:

black people do eat fried chicken.

Speaker:

So a little history lesson, they went over to Korea and

Speaker:

showed them how to fry chicken.

Speaker:

Cool.

Speaker:

Yeah, and then a whole bunch of It's also true some korean, food critics

Speaker:

were like, yeah korea has the best fried chicken and a british white guy

Speaker:

had to be like because the black people taught you right It's if white people

Speaker:

were like we make the best sushi it was like because you learn from the asians.

Speaker:

Yeah, man What about the california roll?

Speaker:

Come on, bro.

Speaker:

Come on the california roll

Speaker:

Green gulp I see.

Speaker:

He's irish too.

Speaker:

Apparently Nicholas, as an Irishman, do you ever have a green gulp?

Speaker:

No.

Speaker:

Even if you ever had to The Woohoo!

Speaker:

He's

Speaker:

Oh, so he can't get drunk.

Speaker:

That's actually Immunity to toxins and abnormal conditions.

Speaker:

But can you get high?

Speaker:

You know what's weird?

Speaker:

That he can't go into the settings and look at the manual.

Speaker:

That's I think

Speaker:

Shut the fuck up, I'm six inches taller now.

Speaker:

hahahahaha hahahahahahaha hahahahahaha

Speaker:

I ain't gonna lie, if he's that rich, this man would've been my best friend.

Speaker:

I don't give a fuck.

Speaker:

hahahaha Especially if I'm so poor, that my mom is dying

Speaker:

of cancer cause I need money.

Speaker:

Hello?

Speaker:

And I saved his life, hello?

Speaker:

The whole point of the series, hello?

Speaker:

Give me money My sister needs to pay for college, hello?

Speaker:

See, you're a bitch ass nigga.

Speaker:

Oh, I was right!

Speaker:

My price, a million per dungeon.

Speaker:

I actually really relate to this guy.

Speaker:

I had a very similar conversation with you when I was about to date that Asian chick.

Speaker:

I was just so less experienced, that I was like, Nicholas, you

Speaker:

gotta give me some pointers.

Speaker:

I've just fucked him.

Speaker:

I haven't, I'm just saying.

Speaker:

I gotta make sure I don't mess this up, man.

Speaker:

All right.

Speaker:

He's like a super rich kid.

Speaker:

So I'm like, bro, why don't you be like, Hey, I saved your life.

Speaker:

Give me some money.

Speaker:

Can you get apparently he's able to, there's some amount of money that

Speaker:

will save his mom because he's like, Oh, the reason she's not alive or

Speaker:

better is because I can't afford it.

Speaker:

Cause this anime don't care about his mom, man.

Speaker:

We'll name an anime that does.

Speaker:

It's impossible.

Speaker:

All right.

Speaker:

I All right.

Speaker:

So I'm not gonna act like we're anime experts here.

Speaker:

But what I will say is that I have very rarely see any anime

Speaker:

or Disney project in which the mom is like Disney hates parents.

Speaker:

Okay, right exactly.

Speaker:

That's why it took the Incredibles 10 years to get a sequel.

Speaker:

They were like, it's a family.

Speaker:

Are you sure about this?

Speaker:

And even then, the movie's about their like, almost getting a divorce.

Speaker:

Are you calling him boss?

Speaker:

Why are you doing that?

Speaker:

I agree with him.

Speaker:

That's weird.

Speaker:

And also, hey, my sister needs a college fund.

Speaker:

You know what?

Speaker:

That's what I would do.

Speaker:

Hey, look, pay for her college.

Speaker:

It's 30 billion dollars.

Speaker:

MWUHUHUH Home.

Speaker:

No it's not.

Speaker:

No it's not.

Speaker:

It's cause you haven't done Bro, you're only level 18.

Speaker:

You're not level 120 yet.

Speaker:

You have the potential.

Speaker:

Take the money now, and get the bigger money later too.

Speaker:

Get both monies.

Speaker:

Bro, this man just turned down 30 birdie.

Speaker:

Make it a hundred.

Speaker:

Oh, he's about to murder this guy?

Speaker:

He's I will kill you right now.

Speaker:

Make it a hundred.

Speaker:

Oh, it's a giant PS5, you sell it?

Speaker:

I don't care what anyone says.

Speaker:

I'm not afraid of someone who wears fur cuff robes He's not evil

Speaker:

You don't know the consequences of murder The immediate future

Speaker:

then it can wait I don't think you know what immediate means right

Speaker:

Oh, that's the dude in red in the intro.

Speaker:

Oh, I think he's got the red eye.

Speaker:

It's probably very likely.

Speaker:

Or it's probably because your sister is now attracted to you, which is really odd.

Speaker:

His sister is attracted to it.

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

Like, why didn't he take the money?

Speaker:

It makes no sense.

Speaker:

And he's oh, sometime like a few years from now, or like in

Speaker:

a year, I could be level 200.

Speaker:

Okay, but what does that have to do with the fact that you

Speaker:

need as much money as possible?

Speaker:

You would get the money now, and then also get whatever combined money that

Speaker:

you would get later on by yourself.

Speaker:

Because I Bro this man make how far are we into this?

Speaker:

Ten minutes?

Speaker:

Yeah, I told you.

Speaker:

I told you this first part is still stupid.

Speaker:

So I'm going to give another the next two to three minutes,

Speaker:

something crazy about to happen, and it'll become interesting again.

Speaker:

To be fair, I feel the same way after you had a entire box of chicken.

Speaker:

Not exactly the best time to start working out.

Speaker:

You can't go farther than that?

Speaker:

That seems like a problem, right?

Speaker:

They got this man to pay to play It's a pay to play function Pay to win.

Speaker:

And I guess no one else sees this right well, they didn't see the

Speaker:

other stuff so it's it's possible Oh

Speaker:

Don't do it bro.

Speaker:

Don't do it man

Speaker:

Oh!

Speaker:

The Elixir of Life.

Speaker:

Wow.

Speaker:

Save his mom.

Speaker:

You could save your mom With the money.

Speaker:

With the money.

Speaker:

And then also get this Elixir of Life and then use it on yourself.

Speaker:

Once you are Okay, so even if you didn't get this key, weren't you going

Speaker:

to keep Oh, he's gonna do it now.

Speaker:

See, I told you.

Speaker:

In a few minutes, it's gonna get interesting.

Speaker:

Did I just say this?

Speaker:

But He's only B R A ranked.

Speaker:

That's the issue.

Speaker:

It doesn't actually say what rank he's leveling up to.

Speaker:

It just says what level he is.

Speaker:

It doesn't actually say what rank he is.

Speaker:

And he's going into an S rank dungeon.

Speaker:

I would at least like Yeah.

Speaker:

Oh.

Speaker:

Oh, so he's so he's get out.

Speaker:

Oh, okay.

Speaker:

That makes a lot more sense why he's challenging him.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

I must have missed that because they didn't show it at all.

Speaker:

Hells

Speaker:

Plus it's only episode 7, dude.

Speaker:

You have more to go.

Speaker:

There's this Demon King Academy anime.

Speaker:

And he looks like Anas Voldigoat, which is like the protagonist of the anime.

Speaker:

A Demon King Academy?

Speaker:

Yeah, something like that.

Speaker:

I'd have to look it up.

Speaker:

Oh, so he's like a Pokemon now.

Speaker:

Heh.

Speaker:

Murderous intent.

Speaker:

It's not very effective.

Speaker:

Alright, what kind of plot armor are we going to get?

Speaker:

For him to kill this thing.

Speaker:

Me personally, I just that does not seem very armor like.

Speaker:

Oh, wow.

Speaker:

Yeah, so you should have not have gone in here.

Speaker:

Yeah, because if you knew you were not S, why would you do

Speaker:

it immediately, like Oh, wow.

Speaker:

And this is not even the

Speaker:

Oh, that's convenient.

Speaker:

And this is just the guard dog.

Speaker:

Yeah, he's not even like the actual boss to this.

Speaker:

The actual boss is just P.

Speaker:

Diddy.

Speaker:

Wait, why did you go in here?

Speaker:

You knew you were not, you knew you were not S rank.

Speaker:

Oh she's dying.

Speaker:

Okay, but clearly she's stable.

Speaker:

She's not currently, she's like dying in general.

Speaker:

You know what I mean?

Speaker:

Oh, the old king of the hill pocket saying trick.

Speaker:

That was interesting.

Speaker:

That's not how games usually work.

Speaker:

They actually try to actively kill you.

Speaker:

While he's fighting Cyberus.

Speaker:

I like how he's casually just shopping while he's fighting a demon dog.

Speaker:

Yeah, clearly he's Poison, did you just drink poison?

Speaker:

Oh Because the poison actually heals them because he has the reverse on the point.

Speaker:

Okay, that actually was smart I'm gonna give you that one and it just went

Speaker:

away immediately While you're over there and Macy's Looking at the clones.

Speaker:

Oh

Speaker:

They had a buffer effect they wore off

Speaker:

Might do it.

Speaker:

He's going to do it.

Speaker:

And then the anime is over, right?

Speaker:

Because then his mom is saved and his sister gets all the money.

Speaker:

Then that was the objective, right?

Speaker:

Anime's over.

Speaker:

Someone's gonna listen to this and be like, You guys are being too harsh.

Speaker:

Yeah!

Speaker:

Yeah!

Speaker:

This would be a perfect time for the Yusei run from My Hero Academia to play.

Speaker:

Ah, the eye, the all important kill shot.

Speaker:

I will say this is significantly more interesting.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Than the beginning part.

Speaker:

The next time I'm just going to skip the first half in general.

Speaker:

He actually did it.

Speaker:

I mean we knew he was going to, but.

Speaker:

Cool, did I do the election like to save my mom or was that just a, I don't know.

Speaker:

Or could I just have bought it in the store if I had enough gold?

Speaker:

Oh,

Speaker:

he has a crafty lecture of life.

Speaker:

You already knew that, man.

Speaker:

Cool.

Speaker:

This is the first episode where I knew it was about to end.

Speaker:

Yeah, it's a little, it's getting, it's a little predictable now.

Speaker:

Alright, Episode 7, what did you think?

Speaker:

It was alright.

Speaker:

The Decembris fight was pretty dope, I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker:

Again, the first half of these episodes is essentially useless.

Speaker:

However, I have to give credit to where credit is due.

Speaker:

It's actually way, way better than I expected, I ain't gonna lie.

Speaker:

To a significant degree So you just hated episode six.

Speaker:

Actually it's because the girl wasn't in it.

Speaker:

She hasn't returned his love interest has not come back She's

Speaker:

been written out of the show.

Speaker:

I'm ready to give it another chance

Speaker:

A girl from the intro has not been in several episodes.

Speaker:

So hey, you know what i'm all good.

Speaker:

i'm i'm up for it guys, this has been episode seven.
