The great Akiyuki comes to Beyond the brick all hail Akiyuki

[@topphatt1312]

ALL HAIL AKIYUKI. ALL HAIL AKIYUKI. ALL HAIL AKIYUKI.

[@stanleygagner]

Akiyuki has no chill. Just lift the whole module.

[@topphatt1312]

Yes he has come to bless us mere mortals with the gift of a smooth event, free of jams.

[@ivyoh6078]

its crazy to me how ignorant people are of what the swastika represented in Asian culture before world war 2. The module at 3:00 looks like that on purpose, but its meant to represent Buddhism as it is a symbol of the religion in Asia, despite what many of you probably think its referencing

[@mccalderbros5647]

yeah, but the symbol has been completely ruined by nazis and has all but been dropped from Buddhist culture as a whole for fear of being associated with the terrible event that was the holocaust. So while he probably did mean it as the Buddhist interpretation, people are right to question the decision of making something look like a symbol that is connected more with a mass murder and less with the beautiful religion that is Buddhism

[@deantoth]

@@mccalderbros5647 you are right. But OP is also right, as both camps now need to understand where each one is coming from. Just remember other symbols have been corrupted as well. The five pointed star has been used by evil empires and yet we are not lambasted for using them today.

[@gabeelliott4048]

3:03 oh no

[@stressballer]

I know what you're thinking, but in the eastern world this is not an issue at all. It is about time the rest of the world get over it too. It is used in a totally different setting. All good.

[@best16652]

Plus its the wrong way

[@lorezyra]

It's not a swastika! It's a *Manji*... Manji's are typically used to denote a temple location on a map. Please google the difference. One points right, the other left...

[@TheMofobuss]

Haha right!

[@zukasasteam4631]

And a swastika originally is no invention of Hitler. Was used by the "Freiheitsmaurer" (eng "Freemason) before that. But it made me laugh to see a "Windmühle der Toleranz" (eng "Windmill of tolerance")

[@assi218]

probably one of the smoothest running and complexed GBC i've seen on BeyondTheBrick..

[@x3w032j293]

I love Joshua's walkthroughs of these! He's just so excited and happy lol. Also Akiyuki's modules are amazing. Some of the coolest and most technical I've seen.

[@BeyondtheBrick]

Thanks for watching!

[@sunnyhu4855]

Awesome Joshua, love this show, the Hero of GBC in person (Akiyuki), he is a genius! So talented! Japan fair is a real eye opener! Full of praise!

[@BeyondtheBrick]

Thanks for watching!

[@Matze239]

3:04 *Is NOT a Nazi swastika!* *Its called "manji"! In Japanese slang, manji now has an array of meanings. According to My Navi, kids say it when they’re taking photos like the English word “cheese,” and it’s also used to refer to mischevious or excitable personality. As with the the original character, which can mean mercy or good fortune, its slang version has various definitions. It’s not to be confused with the Nazi swastika, which certainly could happen. This character is the manji. Taken from: www.google.de/amp/s/kotaku.com/the-buddhist-swastika-becomes-popular-slang-in-japan-1822404738/amp Just to clear things up

[@lorezyra]

The Manji is also used on maps to denote a temple location.

[@mccalderbros5647]

yeah, but the symbol has been completely ruined by nazis and has all but been dropped from Buddhist culture as a whole for fear of being associated with the terrible event that was the holocaust. So while he probably did mean it as the Buddhist interpretation, people are right to question the decision of making something look like a symbol that is connected more with a mass murder and less with the beautiful religion that is Buddhism

[@AtomicChristmas]

This is a good video for people confused about the swastika/manji kzbin.info/www/bejne/baK5aKuYdruCj5I

[@deantoth]

Please watch this little video people. Also remember symbols like for instance the star have been used by different empires all over the place. Just because an evil empire used the star does it mean everyone else who uses the star symbol is somehow representing that evil? Think about that. The manji or temple symbol was around long long before other peoples usurped it. Do they get to ruin it for everyone else forever?

[@jadenlilly6113]

Somebody delete these comments about the module at 3:00

[@lorezyra]

It's not a swastika! It's a *Manji*... Manji's are typically used to denote a temple location on a map.

[@jadenlilly6113]

I know thats why the comments saying "OMG IZ THAT A SWAZITKA?!?!?!?!?" should be deleted

[@mccalderbros5647]

Well, the symbol has been completely ruined by nazis and has all but been dropped from Buddhist culture as a whole for fear of being associated with the terrible event that was the holocaust. So while he probably did mean it as the Buddhist interpretation, people are right to question the decision of making something look like a symbol that is connected more with a mass murder and less with the beautiful religion that is Buddhism

[@GothGoblinNecoArc]

This is one of the most awesome GBCs I have seen

[@DemigodSalt]

Did anybody else click on this video thinking about a Game Boy Color?

[@The_Angry_BeEconomist]

amazing GBC, the best one I've seen

[@ivyoh6078]

3:00 the swastika is a symbol of life in Asia, and its use predates the Nazi's use of it in world war 2 so stop calling them Nazi's because its clearly not what you think it is (this is for all the people in the comments)

[@lorezyra]

It's not a swastika! It's a *Manji*... Manji's are typically used to denote a temple location on a map. Please google the difference. One points right, the other left...

[@ivyoh6078]

LoreZyra . TV yeah I forgot the name of it in Asia

[@mccalderbros5647]

yeah, but the symbol has been completely ruined by nazis and has all but been dropped from Buddhist culture as a whole for fear of being associated with the terrible event that was the holocaust. So while he probably did mean it as the Buddhist interpretation, people are right to question the decision of making something look like a symbol that is connected more with a mass murder and less with the beautiful religion that is Buddhism

[@familyrisk473]

My kids LOVE building with Lego. So awesome!

[@areyouseriouslykiddingme5234]

SOOOO!!! AWESOME!!!!WOOOWW!

[@fhurlbrink]

3:17 : In Germany this design might be problematic.

[@xPLAYnOfficial]

[@diceLibrarian]

I hope that some day Akiyuki learns English

[@Ruby_Coast]

YAY, we get to meet the man himself!

[@wynchell.abanes]

This vid. deserves more views!

[@gravel86]

Amazing modules, very impressive.

[@toddvriethoff9752]

[@ITicklefish08]

[@badtriceratops1867]

3:03 HmmMmmMmMmMmmM 🤔

[@bloodymarvelous4790]

The man is a bloody genius.

[@ITicklefish08]

Pays at 3:16 there’s a swaztica

[@jojoslearninghelp1634]

Whoa! I’m in Japan right now! What prefecture are you guys in?

[@BeyondtheBrick]

We are based in Indiana. The LEGO event happened about a month ago in Kobe.

[@maxselby5317]

Beyond the Brick my sis lives in Indiana, which city? Im right across from the bridge to Louisville, Kentucky! 👍

[@serendibite1598]

awesome! I'm making a v2 train layout, but only because Akiyuki made instructions

[@yachtspotting6201]

THAT WAS AMAZING

[@serendibite1598]

We never saw Takanori Hashimoto. Could you guys do an interview with him?

[@aronslegogbcs1057]

[@benpulliam]

I follow the basketballs every time

[@fender10g]

wow those translations were soooo useful!

[@Chimaera500]

This is just ridiculous 😂👌

[@tahirsutube]

Fantastic!

[@two-face1041]

Nice pants lol

[@irishpotato2095]

3:03 wow

[@onion1705]

Wow

[@cringe3032]

Why do people dislike this?

[@lorezyra]

Maybe someone is confusing the *Manji* with a swastika ... Manji's are typically used to denote a temple location on a map. One points right, the other left...

[@jeyhuan9194]

618th
