NOTIFICATION: On paper, I think this might be the single most action packed Abroad in Japan episode ever made. We certainly ended Journey Across Japan with a thud. Literally - goodbye ear. It's now healed fortunately but it took 6 long weeks of hell to get there. Still it was a blast at sea and a lot of fun watching Ryotaro and Natsuki battle it out once and for all! I hope you enjoyed the series guys!

Natsuki responding to Ryotaro’s dramatic Japanese with “go f*** yourself!” Made me giggle and seemed very on brand for him.

[@miikkapulli]

Even though I read this before watching this scene, I started to laugh so hard after Natsukis line that I felt choking... As a matter of fact it happened twice as I watched this episode a second time. I would love to have that "Go f**k yourself" line as a message sound on my phone. Is it available somewhere, if someone would know?

The Hells Angels, the Comanchero motorcycle club and the Aussie Cartel heads are having talks while you are reading this about their growth in Australia and in Asia. Exterminating The Yakusa presence and their activities in the country would be considerably profitable for the Hells Angels, the Comanchero motorcycle club and the Aussie Cartel. The goal is to initiate their expansion over the Yakusa in Australia and to push it as far as in Japan. According to their plans, they are and will be supported by the Sinaloa Cartel for a part of the gains obtained and it would be done by the end of 2023. They told their mens to prioritize the capture, mostly for torture and interrogation before killing and for selling but to kill right away if they can not capture. This is what members having close ties with Hells Angels chapter leaders are talking about. Some members of the Hells Angels and of the Sinaloa Cartel had already start moving to Australia. The mens had been told to get the job done by any means, even by mass killing if needed. If you are directly involved let your comrades know so you can be prepared for what is happening before it is too late to prevent the bloodbath and your fall!

I had the same thing happen to my ear while learning how to wakeboard on vacation once. Fortunately it was the last day so it didn't ruin the vacation, but the next weeks SUCKED

Fantastic series as always chris

[@ArchAngel149]

Mr. Affable has done it again! Thank you so much Chris for Journey Across Japan! I always look forward to it every week when the new season began. Stellar cinematography!

I wondered if this was going to be the episode that showed the epic eardrum perforation of 2022. And why am I not surprised that Ryotaro had a part in it LOL. That's hella painful to go through so glad it got all healed up ok. Loved the final showdown at the end. And looks like it was fun to make. Or at least I hope it was. I k ow there's a lot of the not so glorious behind the scenes stuff that goes I to production but it's always nice if you can have fun with it too. Thanks for another incredible journey. 😁❤️

Finally we get to see Natsuki and Ryotaro on the same screen!!!

This was a perfect ending to a wonderful series of Journey Across Japan. This has been made with such quality.

[@YoSmoked]

it alway's put's a smile on my face when you guys upload, keep it up

[@kohlikt]

Very nice finish of the journey. Great quality and content. It is to see that you invest hard work into your videos. Thanks for your work.

[@jomsaaa1620]

glad to see the people behind the camera ❤ great videos and content as always Chris and crew!

[@demonisaur6978]

By far one of the most chaotic episodes, well worth the wait.

[@naritariko9390]

It isn't a real 'Takeshi' s Castle' espisode if no one gets hurt :') No, seriously. I hope you are doing fine Chris. Cool episode, as always :D

[@ThreadBomb]

I don't understand why Takeshi's Castle is seen as iconic; the contestants had about as much personality as ants. Sasuke (Ninja Warrior) and Kinniku Banzuke (Unbeatable Banzuke) were both better, and the more recent show VS Arashi was a lot of fun too. If you're not familiar with these shows, I'm sure you can find clips on youtube.

@@ThreadBomb Takeshi became the big one first. That's all to it.

[@emeraldcat7511]

Truly the best channel on KZbin! Thanks for all the hard work and entertainment. From an Aussie fan. 👍🏻

[@flysart]

Waited so long for this-Worth every minute. I enjoy your videos and journeys so much!

[@jrgen9680]

Man, I’ll miss JAJ so much! Abroad in japan is one of my favorite channels and your videos always gives me a smile on my face. But there is something about JAJ that made me feel so at ease. Amazing series. Thank you for all your hard work!

[@byzantiumn8564]

Chris freaking out on the parasail was what I have been waiting for since the first journey across Japan XD Fantastic idea Joey

[@fantasysk8tr]

Loved the fight at the end, keep up the amazing content guys!! Thanks for all that you do

[@rodneydosson3391]

I thoroughly enjoyed this instalment of Journey across Japan!!!

[@ktownpunkjr.1946]

Perfect, I just finished watching joey's vlogs and was wondering when we'd get the chance to see the rest of the trip!

[@shizen9755]

Journey Across Japan has got to be my favorite series on KZbin, never a dull moment and always manages to lift my spirits! Thank you Chris for making it! Also I hope the healing process wasn't TOO painful 😄

[@winterp6993]

Thank you Chris for the effort of making this video, it was fun and I really enjoyed it. Especially the ending sword fighting part. Thumbs up

[@user-ji1qv7ld4y]
