Axel asks Towa and Pakael about hot pot

Axel, Towa, and Pakael were part of different teams during VSaikyo S5, but during scrims week, the three of them got together to play some more-laid back Apex on stream. They talked a lot about food - in this particular snippet, Axel asked Towa and Pakael if they've had (Chinese-style) hot pot before.

Towa-sama is a kindhearted and angel-like... devil? 🤔 Anyway, Towa takes gaming seriously and enjoys putting in her best effort no matter what game it is, though she's well-known for being an avid FPS gamer. She also recently picked up Street Fighter 6, and it's, uh, pretty obvious that she really likes the character Ed. Her only weakness in gaming is horror games. Legends say that the kenzokus (her fans) die inside whenever Towa plays horror games when she gets scared to the point of needing to stop streaming. Despite wanting to act as a prankster to fit her character as a devil, more often than not, she behaves endearingly and causes the kenzokus to reach diabetic highs and be incapacitated.

The HR chief and gladiator of TEMPUS, Axel is usually considered to be a bit hotheaded and impulsive, but he is also a frank person who loves and appreciates his guildmates and Axelotls (even if he scams them often). He is fluent in both English and Japanese, does Japanese gaming and chatting streams from time to time, and visits Japan decently often to see family. He's a big foodie, and, although he's on the younger side, he has watched and enjoyed older shows such as Space Cobra and Megazone 23, thanks to his dad.
Name: Pakael (パカエル)

Don't let his cute appearance fool you - Pakael is a monster when it comes to FPSes, particularly Apex. Outside of Apex, he participates in the Sutogura streamer RP GTA5 server, and does the occasional chatting stream. Can be a little bit of a gremlin at times.

When it comes to hot pot, I personally feel that it's best enjoyed at home with family and/or friends, but in terms of hot pot establishments, I guess you can't go wrong with Haidilao... - Noodlebrain

[@SoraRaida]

Haidilao is so expensive and overrated here in my country 😅 There are way better and cheaper alternatives

[@GoldRichness]

@@SoraRaidaexpensive yes, but you get to taste some good food.

[@SoraRaida]

@@GoldRichness Good good for that high price? Nah, the establishment doesn't even have any Michelin stars.

[@GoldRichness]

@@SoraRaida and why should that matter?

[@littlewishy6432]

⁠@@SoraRaidaNever rely on Michelin stars.

[@Raidanzoup]

I know they were in Apex mode, but simmering until it's "geki low" is hilarious. Just magic pixel the cabbage.

[@black_712]

thanks for the Axel clip 🙏

[@SoraRaida]

I guess Axel was talking about Mala based soup, which is not really the normal kind of spicy, but more numbing on the tongue

[@NoireDust]

It’s kinda funny and off putting seeing Axel not in dingo mode when talking in JP, especially to a senpai.

[@litlsteps8486]

the american side is when he's toxic with other Stars and with TSB, the JP side comes out whenever he wanna impress Nodoka 🤣

[@NoireDust]

@@litlsteps8486 He’s an Aussie, but yeah same difference mate lol

[@anonfinally1692]

The personality changes depending on the language being used

[@elektra8535]

He did mention to them the Italian man incident on this stream so he still have a little dingo when JP

[@M1ss1ng-N0]

I want some hot pot now

[@lastnamefirstname8655]

delicious food topic.

[@aguywithaname]

Not exactly sure what Axel's spice tolerance is but northern Chinese hot pots can get pretty spicy especially for the typical Japanese palette. But there are also tons of non spicy soup bases as well

[@TopSecretAsiant]

I just ate but I am hungry now
