Only in a Nick and Danny cold open can you get lines as raw as “You’re watching the sandcastle of your argument crumble to my shore”.

[@salty_fishcakes]

And then end in the most heated one sided argument I’ve ever seen on camera lmao

[@dorian5846]

That shit was funny asf

[@rydersedge198]

So dramatic… I love it 😂

[@Breezy4tay]

Need more Danny ripping into Nick uninterrupted. Those last 5 min had me in tears

I'm a zookeeper. A giraffe is taller than two horses. You're vastly underestimating the length of giraffe legs. In a fight I'd also easily take the giraffe, it's not even close

[@darknesswave100]

I've seen the way giraffes fight each other. Ain't no way in hell I'd take a horse in that one. They just swing their necks like baseball bats from what I've seen

[@gustavfrye2736]

Love the "most of the anime community don't deserve the anime we got" take. Totally agree I'm tired of seeing people complaining about animation 99% perfect instead of 100% when animators go through hell to make it.

[@nolanbritten8542]

One might say we manifested Mappas downfall with all the memes we made

[@darknesswave100]

Good. If that makes the industry treat animators better then that might just be what needs to happen

[@jordanl5436]

Where do u think the memes came from

[@ErosIRL]

Not manifested. We probably helped some of the animators realize “this is not the industry standard and is not ok. We’re overperforming and valuable” I think it’s less manifestation and more exposition. Always hoping companies like Mappa and Blizzard understand that treating your employees like garbage doesn’t make your product better, having the best animation and animators happy and performing their best WILL and will always produce more money long term

[@aaronyaegar1557]

I think it’s crazy that so many people thought Mahoraga died when at the start of the episode Megumi explains he can summon it as many times as possible to tame it

[@srensen9948sander]

Valid

[@darknesswave100]

Some people don't have basic reading comprehension unfortunately

[@drc9374]

[@danmills742]

Did mahoraga not die? I think he has died like three times. He just doesn't stay dead

[@danmills742]

I'm pretty sure he has to die if megumi continues to live

[@YaBoi906]

also for those who didn't like the animation, the animators said they could only get 30% of the vision in time, so be grateful for what we got with their horrendous scheduale

[@Moonmi747]

But I bet they would or at least I think they should go back and complete episode 17 at some point. Because that shit was an acid trip, but understandably so since it's not even half way complete.

[@YaBoi906]

@Moonmi747 I personally liked it, but I understand where your coming from. It's just sad the animators can't pour their souls, only their bodies on a series they love.

[@mehybe]

The immediate argument about horses and giraffes height 😂

This ep was an unhinged sandwich. I'd pay good money to see Danny tear into Nick for 2 hours

[@landenvincent8195]

the part of the pod with nick and danny talking about themselves and what makes them and how they run their accounts and the future was so beautiful to me

[@nhc7772]

I heard that Mappa was founded by a animator that got sick of being told what to work on so he made mappa to do his own stuff. Years later Mappa gets huge and the vision of what Mappa was when it was founded is completely gone. I also think that animator that founded it is also gone too. Again, this is just what I heard. Don’t know if it’s a fact or not.

[@darknesswave100]

That would go in line with a lot of businesses in general. The guy who founded Walmart for example always talked about how he wanted people to come in and be treated like family and if people needed stuff then there would be people there to help them. Now look at how it's run. Places get too big and make too much money and all of a sudden the original vision gets replaced with dollar signs

[@xanderfrank4368]

[@vu1pes_698]

I love the progression of nick slowy falling off in things hes supposed to be good at and danny slowly getting more pissed and screaming at him in longer tangents

[@darknesswave100]

Sukuna is NOT a cursed spirit. How are people still getting this wrong? He was a human sorcerer that was turned into a cursed object. Sukuna himself even confirms he isnt one at least twice at this point where the anime is. He even said it when he was hit with Mahoraga's blade. He basically says if i was a cursed spirit it would have killed me. Also Yuta used reverse cursed technique to heal maki and panda in chapter 0. So its not just Shoko and Sukuna who can use it on others

[@4getmenot182]

Misinformation. Mappa did not lose a bunch of money on chainsawman. They were disappointed because it didnt do jjk season 1 numbers or better. They said this in an interview recently. It was still profitable and most anime dont make moneynon blue rays anymore so its an outdadted metric to go by

[@johnnywashington8270]

I wait patiently for this pod every week! I love the work you guys doing!! Keep it up fam

[@jarrodtollison3530]

I have no idea why Danny hates Yuji so much but loves Tanjiro who’s the most nothing MC there is

[@vyom7308]

New episode!!! Y'all have no idea how many times I've refreshed my notifications waiting for this episode

[@Alexanderfranksofficial]

I mean there is going to have to be (and for the record I do think it is underway but we are still far off) a change in consumer culture that says, "I don't care if my next anime episode is delayed or if the next season takes a long time to get to me. The treatment of these workers and them getting the compensation and healthy work conditions they deserve and need matters way more." Because the current consumer culture is what a lot of these major corporations base their practices off of in order to squeeze as much fast cash as they cant out of it and it is coming at the expense of their employees in very abusive ways.

[@TRE1351]

the slow jaunt with "yep thats the last time we see mahoraga " was literally my internal thoughts it was perfect😂, oh dearr i cannot wait for danny's reaction to all to come with JJK

[@GreenNightlight]

A cool game would be to guess the MC based on the colour palette

[@wasabishot1]

On Sukuna, I think it's cooking, other context clues include. Him saying 'time for a tasting' and the fire move when it lights the city end as a circle. A lot like a burner. Does the tasting quote happen in the manga, I don't remember

The end of this podcast is the greatest moment in the history of otakus anonymous

[@devonking8834]

Let's gooooo! Best anime podcast out there. Keep doin whatchu do dudesons

[@danielcollinson101]

The only way this episode could of ended better was if we finally saw Chekhov's podcast knife go off so to speak, as Danny Mortal Kombat fatalities Nick with it. He could bust out a reaction video of it to try and race the clock before his relatively immediate incarceration!

[@AlexSciChannel]

I don't know why Nick keeps saying Sukuna is a cursed spirit. He's not. He's a reincarnated human. If he was a cursed spirit Mahoraga would've one shot him with the reverse cursed technique blade, but he didn't. Sukuna even comments in that scene how he himself is not a cursed spirit

[@lanevaught2841]

Sukuna actually became a cursed spirit at some point in the past. Maho didn’t one shot him because it technically struck yuji’s human body

[@lanevaught2841]

He’s the king of curses

[@AlexSciChannel]

@lanevaught2841 that's doesn't mean he's a cursed spirit. Sukuna himself admits he's not a cursed spirit in the most recent episode. Otherwise he wouldn't be able to use reverse cursed technique to heal megumi which curse spirits can't use.

[@darknesswave100]

​@@lanevaught2841sukuna isn't a cursed spirit. He was a human sorcerer who became a cursed object who then used Yuji's body as a vessel. He's called the King of Curses because of his ridiculous amount of cursed energy and his ability to wield it and the damage he inflicts. That name doesn't literally mean he's the king of actual curses

[@luceafarul5740]

​@@lanevaught2841 exactly, he's never stated to be the "king of curse spirits", he is stated to be the "king of curses". Curse energy and curse technique are the basis of the power system and he is the king of the power system due to his understanding of it

I love when you name drop "bigger" channels that I've never heard of😂

[@maxalexa2]

adding this to another episode you guys should do a love letter special for your 1 year anniversary or a definitive list of each of your top 5/10 anime of all time. the top 5/10 list would be super interesting because I promise you will start to remember shows differently once you need to lock them into a spot. Sorry i know you probably don't care for my opinion

[@IXEevee]

Danny screaming at Nick at the end was the best part

[@ledrociam]

Is there anything we can do to help change the perspective or the culture in Japan when it comes to how animators and directors are treated?

[@arsonist_onfire]

I love that Nick is such a bro with a karomi phone case it tells so much about his personality

[@sungodrj3200]

The person that has the “Grandpa’s Ashes” flavor is a Vtuber named Alphena. The story behind it and the conversation around it is just as funny as the name 😂

[@badpiggy4177]

I doubt Conquest will be in this season of Invincible since he only comes after the multiverse arc. But then again, it depends on how much they'll actually cover this season lol

[@jalahjava_]

Seeing the explosive end... I still wanna say i agree with Nick. It might not be the most profitable endeavor theyve done, but it's definitely my favorite of both of theirs xD

[@SamTheGumMan117]

Invincible S2 has been so great so far and I think you can definitely tell a story through a fight plus last episode of JJK was so damn awesome and the ones before top tier as well thanking the animators so much for continued crazy work going through what they're going through.

[@jmarti1997jm]

Took me a little bit to understand the ritual but from my understanding, megami summoned that shikigami because he wanted to beat Haruta in a last ditch effort because he was gonna die anyway. Correct me if that's wrong. I think that's a bit overkill but I get it. I'm more confused how sukuna was able to beat mahoraga. It didn't look like it was the domain expansion that killed him but the fuga technique

[@noventaeum]

Basically, what finally ended Mahoraga was the fire technique. Mahoraga can eventually adapt to any sort of attack thrown at him, so the only way to beat him is to end him before he adapts to something. So Sukuna used the fire, cuz he hadn't used it not even once against Mahoraga, meaning, Mahoraga wasn't ready for it.

[@itsjustvin7630]

​@@noventaeum Not just that but he also buried Mahoraga with multiple slashes from his domain beforehand so he was in the middle or regenerating

[@daequanhendricks3406]

I love the end where Danny just goes off on nick also my first time seeing the intro I just leave when nick says goodbye not sure if it’s new or not.

[@thebrioche6481]

the look on nick's face when the donation came in cracked me up

[@user-pj5in1wl7i]

Sukuna uses flames before this episode of the Jogo fight because when he fights the finger bearer after he puts him in his domain he uses flames to finish the finger bearer.

[@PrinceDman]

This was my first time watching the podcast and it was great! I've been reluctant for a while because I thought it would be NIck spoiling every Anime for me, but it wasn't that, so it was great!

[@mikecrossman19]

[@treyward4189]

The best way to understand jujutsu Kaisen is by watching it at your own pace, and then re-watch Nick explain the important/confusing parts 😂

[@DarkEdge1231]

I wouldn’t use Nick because watching Nick this video get basic facts wrong and push bizarre theories makes me thinks Nick watches this series with his eyes closed.

[@renuchiha4662]

Nah the last bit might be the best thing to come out of this pod

[@oceanapearl3503]

I wish I had friends to watch this with it was golden

[@tywedlake6988]

End of the video was amazing!!! I love dannys rant

[@Darkstone13]

Funniest intro so far 😂 I feel like most people dont understand Sukuna, if im not wrong the way they introduce him is he was the greatest sorcerer of the past and he turned into a cursed object after death becoming the king of curses, if theres one dude that could have learned a way to hace more than one technique is him. Even Gojo made a comment about him having several techniques in the first season and how Yuji had a chance to absorb that knowledge with time. His technique is the cutting, but he learned other stuff after living so long in the most jujutsu rich era ever not because he copies what he eats that would be too similar to Yuta

[@chuuyaism1653]

i am so unbelievably happy that i have not seen anyone who is standing with mappa/"give us more unalive if you must" mentality online yet because like i would say some shit i have not said to ANYONE to date and i WOULD in fact get banned from all sites because like??? fuck you???? let them live goddamn YOU WOULDN'T SURVIVE THERE AND THE FACT THAT YOU GOT SOMETHING THIS GORGEOUS DESPITE ALL THIS

or uhhh "patreon-exclusive content debut" Danny and Nick react to Naruto, posted on each patreon individually. Dont have to collab in future releases in that manner.

The funny thing about this cold open is them arguing about a giraffe v horse a giraffe can kick a lions head off with there dinner plate sized hooves

[@TheLastSane1]

Nick wins that Horse vs Giraffe height thing. I looked it up and mentioned it in chat. the average horse is about 5.4 ft at the shoulder. A giraffe male stands at about 10 ft at the shoulder. So two horses would be taller than a giraffe if stacked. Now if its a bigger species of horse your looking at up to 7 ft at the shoulder, which makes it easily 14 ft stacked so well above. - Source: Google; Also someone who has worked with horses most of my life, my family owned, trained, and raced horses.

[@Axo-Gamer]

A wild member it’s natural habitat the comment section

[@turtle_combat]

A giraffe's neck can be nearly half its height. Makes a small giraffe's back about the same as a large Clydesdale. I think Nick is completely right with the double Clydesdale option.

[@yourstruly9013]

Nah nah Team Danny here. A make Giraffe can be 18 ft with a 6’ neck and legs over 6’. A giraffe’s back is ~10’ up already and they have super strong neck muscles for swinging and fighting. Two Clydesdales are shorter and only *possibly* a bit heavier with maxed horse stats. Giraffe wins because how are the horses going to fight when stacked anyways? They can’t kick when balancing XD

[@darknesswave100]

How exactly would the horses fight while stacked on each other? To kick they have to leave 2 legs on the ground. A giraffe when they fight essentially swings their necks like a baseball bat. That horse on top of the other would get knocked off pretty easily
