Howdy, it's the Southern Senpai Show, where small town southerners explore

big time Japanese entertainment, anime, manga, and everything in between.

Speaker:

Here's your hosts, Nicholas and DJ.

Speaker:

What's going on, y'all?

Speaker:

Southern Senpais here, two American guys who explore Japanese culture together.

Speaker:

I thought we were not only American, but Southern!

Speaker:

I'm DJ.

Speaker:

That was a pretty good streak.

Speaker:

You jinxed it last time, man.

Speaker:

I warned you.

Speaker:

I jinxed it.

Speaker:

Hey, you know what?

Speaker:

It's better than fucking up every time.

Speaker:

Three in a row?

Speaker:

That's a turkey in bowling.

Speaker:

That's a turkey.

Speaker:

But that's striking out in baseball.

Speaker:

We're watching episode 9.

Speaker:

Of Solo Leveling.

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

And I am so ready for this.

Speaker:

I personally, again, it's just it's just, I wish we could just skip this first half.

Speaker:

And again, if Julie doesn't die in this the next five minutes.

Speaker:

I'm This series will, it's You really don't like Julie, do you?

Speaker:

I don't like a lot of things about this anime.

Speaker:

But it doesn't matter what I like.

Speaker:

It kinda sounds like you might have some animosity towards this anime.

Speaker:

You know what's crazy?

Speaker:

I think, and I'm just being fully, full disclosure here.

Speaker:

If I wasn't a writer, I don't think I would care.

Speaker:

No.

Speaker:

No.

Speaker:

Because I wouldn't see the errors in it.

Speaker:

It is a Or if I wasn't a douchebag.

Speaker:

It seems to be a generic anime with some good plot points.

Speaker:

I would say good action scenes.

Speaker:

Good actions.

Speaker:

To watch the first half of nothing and then something

Speaker:

interesting in the last half.

Speaker:

We, again, do not have the studio beginnings.

Speaker:

I'm going to press play in 3, 2, 1.

Speaker:

Blue Cave.

Speaker:

This is Oh!

Speaker:

Oh, they have Nunchucks?

Speaker:

What do you mean?

Speaker:

They're green.

Speaker:

Again, it doesn't really matter because he's a certain rank.

Speaker:

He's gonna be that powerful regardless.

Speaker:

Yeah, because you look completely different and you're way taller.

Speaker:

And I'm attracted to you now.

Speaker:

So I view you as a person.

Speaker:

Let's get it.

Speaker:

Let's get it.

Speaker:

Let's get it.

Speaker:

What's wrong with just, I think you said let's get it.

Speaker:

Hold on.

Speaker:

You might do it.

Speaker:

Oh, it's not.

Speaker:

What's wrong with just having like just regular Japanese run.

Speaker:

Oh I missed it!

Speaker:

Ah, you didn't give me that time, man, I thought you were ha!

Speaker:

Ha!

Speaker:

Huh, huh!

Speaker:

Let's get it.

Speaker:

Oh, fuck.

Speaker:

What?!

Speaker:

I thought that was the end of it.

Speaker:

Yeah, sorry.

Speaker:

Hey, wait a minute.

Speaker:

The intro's long.

Speaker:

Ba ka ba ka ba ka.

Speaker:

Oh, fuck!

Speaker:

We missed the let's get it timing.

Speaker:

Ah, fuck.

Speaker:

No.

Speaker:

You have no idea.

Speaker:

You've never been in there before.

Speaker:

Oh, but Julie has to come?

Speaker:

What the f k are you doing?

Speaker:

Bro, wait, why are you looking at me, man?

Speaker:

Seriously you need your ass beaten real fast?

Speaker:

Alright,

Speaker:

I'm done hunting.

Speaker:

Facts.

Speaker:

You're gonna die, aren't you?

Speaker:

He's gonna die.

Speaker:

If I make it out of here, I'm gonna do this one thing.

Speaker:

Oh, so you're about to die?

Speaker:

Are you gonna have him kill the other people?

Speaker:

That's crazy.

Speaker:

They can participate in raids while they're detained

Speaker:

and reduce their sentences!

Speaker:

what world is that fair when they roam free!

Speaker:

What's this?

Speaker:

Three billion.

Speaker:

Damn!

Speaker:

They'll take you.

Speaker:

It takes to kill them.

Speaker:

The dungeon stays in the dungeon.

Speaker:

Is this Vegas?

Speaker:

Please!

Speaker:

Please!

Speaker:

Do this for me!

Speaker:

What

Speaker:

is this, the last half?

Speaker:

What is happening?

Speaker:

This is interesting in the beginning?

Speaker:

Oh already went through with it.

Speaker:

It's

Speaker:

no such luck.

Speaker:

'cause I was asked to make you suffer first as much as I could.

Speaker:

What the hell's going on here?

Speaker:

Ah, seems the paths are connected, so if you are here, I guess that would

Speaker:

be the left path led to the bus there.

Speaker:

Thanks for the direction.

Speaker:

Wow.

Speaker:

Oh, he's gonna kill those two.

Speaker:

That, whoa!

Speaker:

He was only paid to just kill the first three.

Speaker:

But I guess he's trying to cover his tracks.

Speaker:

Why are you screaming?

Speaker:

You've seen tons of dead people.

Speaker:

Aren't you a hunter?

Speaker:

Wow.

Speaker:

He actually murdered those people.

Speaker:

He wouldn't have had to, actually.

Speaker:

Why do you act like you have a connection to the people who abandoned

Speaker:

you and told you to fucking die?

Speaker:

Isn't this weird?

Speaker:

I doubt it.

Speaker:

She's a healer.

Speaker:

Bleh.

Speaker:

This person tried to abandon and kill you.

Speaker:

Do you not remember this?

Speaker:

Is he friends with them now?

Speaker:

That's crazy.

Speaker:

I don't understand how this anime decides to get really good, and then really bad,

Speaker:

and then really good, and then really bad.

Speaker:

Oh, I know.

Speaker:

They must have two different writers.

Speaker:

Why are you killing them?

Speaker:

Cause he doesn't want any But they didn't see him.

Speaker:

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker:

I Like, he killed the other two because he had to cover his tracks.

Speaker:

No, it's not.

Speaker:

Weren't you just doing that a few days ago?

Speaker:

Killing the goblins.

Speaker:

Not only that, but he was doing it like when he was practicing and he had one

Speaker:

arm and he's Oh, why don't you get so you've been practicing your sword work.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Yes!

Speaker:

Yeah!

Speaker:

Yeah, the thing just got good.

Speaker:

No, what are you doing?

Speaker:

You overrated everything!

Speaker:

My plans!

Speaker:

You're trying to aim for the girl, remember?

Speaker:

He's on his knees.

Speaker:

She's open.

Speaker:

And she's powerless!

Speaker:

Do it!

Speaker:

Do it.

Speaker:

No!

Speaker:

Not him!

Speaker:

No.

Speaker:

You're wasting time.

Speaker:

I love how the guy who was an S rank and could clearly kill this guy is

Speaker:

just standing by watching him get hurt.

Speaker:

Like, why are you not doing anything about this?

Speaker:

If he dies, and you just watched him die, that's intense.

Speaker:

Oh, okay, so now we're about to get them fighting.

Speaker:

Okay, but why did you let me get cut 8 million times before you did that?

Speaker:

I would be pissed.

Speaker:

You've lived up.

Speaker:

Oh, you know what?

Speaker:

That does explain, maybe his second awakening is No,

Speaker:

it's not a second awakening.

Speaker:

No, not really.

Speaker:

No, because he's just leveling up, right?

Speaker:

Because a reawakening gives you just a different level, just

Speaker:

not like the willy to upgrade.

Speaker:

I like the face, I think that's kinda cool.

Speaker:

You know where else I saw that?

Speaker:

Naruto.

Speaker:

Naruto, yeah.

Speaker:

Yeah, definitely Naruto.

Speaker:

You know where I saw that too?

Speaker:

Naruto.

Speaker:

What's wrong?

Speaker:

You scared?

Speaker:

Oh, so I guess now he's a more powerful enemy so now he gets points for it.

Speaker:

That's Goku!

Speaker:

Goku did that in the movie!

Speaker:

Hey!

Speaker:

What is going on around here?

Speaker:

That was You know what?

Speaker:

I'm gonna say it was just a reference.

Speaker:

Just a homage.

Speaker:

Then how come I can hear you?

Speaker:

Exactly.

Speaker:

Why can I hear you?

Speaker:

No, do it!

Speaker:

No, Jesus Christ!

Speaker:

That's crazy.

Speaker:

I'm an edgelord, remember?

Speaker:

He's about to get you, man.

Speaker:

You gon get got.

Speaker:

Oh yeah, he has.

Speaker:

Yeah, he has killed people.

Speaker:

Uhhh, are you going to fight or not?

Speaker:

Murderous intent.

Speaker:

It's super effective.

Speaker:

You about to get it, man.

Speaker:

Is that a genjutsu?

Speaker:

You know where I saw Genjutsu like that at?

Speaker:

Never do.

Speaker:

How are you still talking?

Speaker:

You should be dead already.

Speaker:

Jesus.

Speaker:

That's like fucking bullshit in this episode.

Speaker:

I'm an edgelord who want to know what I even do.

Speaker:

What?

Speaker:

I don't know.

Speaker:

What 15 year old on Tumblr wrote this fucking dialogue?

Speaker:

You get as strong as they are dark.

Speaker:

I'm a gamer edgelord.

Speaker:

What the fuck is happening?

Speaker:

What do you guys think?

Speaker:

Oh my god!

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

I would've thought, you know what, I see why it's popular.

Speaker:

I would also think this is awesome if I was 15.

Speaker:

Everybody test me?

Speaker:

This is my power fantasy.

Speaker:

I'm so cool.

Speaker:

I got taller.

Speaker:

It's like a puberty.

Speaker:

That's awesome

Speaker:

Oh, so he already they already escaped

Speaker:

right

Speaker:

in his late 20s Yeah

Speaker:

That's his third period

Speaker:

No, you can still go why did people have to not know that you're

Speaker:

powerful to go on the missions Yeah

Speaker:

Oh, he's taking the blame for it.

Speaker:

Oh, yeah.

Speaker:

Didn't you defeat like an S Level demon thing before?

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

I don't know, man.

Speaker:

There's not a whole lot to make sense.

Speaker:

You went in an S Rank dungeon, remember?

Speaker:

And defeated some of the monsters there?

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Oh, whoo!

Speaker:

Oh, thank God.

Speaker:

Oh my goodness.

Speaker:

That's when it got close and intimate.

Speaker:

I thought this episode was a bit boring.

Speaker:

It was good, then really bad, then good, then really bad, then good.

Speaker:

It was like an emotional rollercoaster watching this.

Speaker:

Something cool would happen and they say something that's

Speaker:

just so stupid it ruins it.

Speaker:

Kills Slice, the guy, Jank's pose in the background and he goes, It's hot.

Speaker:

Oh, come on, man.
