To be honest, the torii gate leading to not-a-temple screams cyberpunk dystopian future. That's sort of central to the whole thing is that there is nothing held sacred anymore.

I think I'm desensitized because I've been watching Joel for quite a few years now, but I'm just now realizing how insane he must seem to new people. He's already got a good chunk of a town started on only episode 5, all of the buildings having a crazy amount of detail, him being rather rambunctious and kind of crazy around other people with a weird and fun personality, and him blowing up someone's entire base with like 70 TNT to kill him and immediately apologizing and rebuilding it. Like, he's crazy, and I love him for it Edit: I love seeing all of the people who are new here or catching up on old series- welcome welcome! It's wonderful having you here! And for those of you saying this is normal Hermitcraft behavior- please know I've never watched Hermitcraft or any of these other peoples' videos! I just know Joel! I'm not trying to compare anyone, simply shine light on how hyper our Bean Boy is!

[@snowberry2433]

Started watching the life series two years ago, started watching Joel near the limited life period in april. And I... yeah. You're very, very correct. The fact he's 'bordering the edge of mania' is why I watch him.

[@beezie7886]

Hey Joel! I gave this suggestion to Impulse so I'm here for you too: Wax your signs! Unwaxed signs contribute to a significant amount of lag, so waxing them with honeycomb will help a ton! Ask Tango for some honeycomb; I'm sure he'll be fine with sharing some. I took 2 years of Japanese in Highschool, and it's a complicated language. Google does a pretty decent job for simple translation but don't rely on it for sentences; they're not always the most accurate.

If you haven't named the town yet, you could call it アホー市 (ahōshi). The shi at the end just means city, while the ahō part is identical to the first letters of the katakana word for axolotl, but can also mean idiot/moron.

[@mcloudyoutube]

I can’t speak for people who actively practice Shinto Faith, I did do research to design a Shinto shrine for a project once though. And the research from doing that project, I learned that shrines and Tori Gates, in general, were markers of where spirits resided, so while Tori gates are yes used for marking where shrines are. It’s also because it’s marking where spirits reside. The scale of a tori is also traditionally, much smaller than what you’ve built here. However, it also makes me think that this shrine is for spirits and for people who are really big and need a doorway to accommodate that space :-) For those who have read this far, the large amount of information I learned came from the scholar Stuart DB Pickens !

[@JasminemPolyanthum]

Well, naturally the Tallest Hermit wil need the Tallest Torii gate.

[@jzc1893]

Thank you for sighting your sources as it makes your info that much more reliable

[@jakegordz101]

That thing about it being for larger spirits matches both Joel's personality and his schtick as a giant on the empires SMP season 2

[@Peregrine1989]

Sometimes smaller, but their are some quite large Tori gates. Although I will admit larger Tori gates are COMMONLY (but not always) built in or near water. While their is almost certainly a spiritual reason for this, its also practical, as a larger tori gate resists floodwaters and stormsurges more.

[@Kirmo13]

by the 1:30 minute mark you managed to: - do the intro - call the viewers smelly stinky fools - do a bit asking for people to subscribe - kill a piglin - farm XP - upgrade armor and tools - plan the construction of a road to get up and down the mountain ... that's intense. And I love it

[@NYOOMATOPOEIA]

Hi Joel, as someone who is Japanese and follows Shinto Buddhism, thank you for incorporating it into your build. All of the Japanese were technically correct, but axolotl in Japan is usuallyウーパールーパー (uupaa ruupaa), which would be funny if you referred your axolotls as your workers/ your Oompa Loompas. The translation you used is also correct, but has a slightly less positive meaning since アホ (aho) means stupid with a negative context. Both fit your humor so go at it 👍

[@Missmori]

i mean the stupid things keep getting killed off by drowned so..... (jk)

[@FeelingJaded_]

9:45 That IS a close translation for Axolotls in Japanese, but if you want to go full Japanese, I recommend "ウーパールーパー” (Wū-pā-rū-pā) which is how we say Axolotl in Japanese as well. (If you want to directly translate the sound "Axolotl" in Japanese though, I think アクソロトル (A-ku-so-ro-to-ru) is much closer.)

[@FeelingJaded_]

入り口 is right though, it does mean entrance

[@yuyoshida7359]

‘アホロトル’ Was peak humour tho XDDDD ‘アホ’ means something like ‘idiot’ in Japanese, so it feels like the sign or google translate is calling Joel a fool when he doesn’t understand what is written 😅

[@CalaCrisp88]

アホロトル is closer to the original Spanish and Aztec(?) pronunciation (where the letter [x] actually means /x/ and not /ks/), but yeah ウーパールーパー is how people would actually say it in Japanese.

[@_yenooi]

I love that Wuparupa is where Wooper Pokemon got its name too btw. Super cute.

[@jare3959]

While that's definitely a transliteration of axolotl in Katakana, they are known as wooper loopers in Japan (which is why the axolotl Pokemon is called Wooper) ウーパールーパー (Uupaa ruupaa) The dashes are how you write a lengthened vowel

I think everyone reacting to Joel’s chaotic energy is hilarious. I have been watching Lizzie and Joel for a long time and I remember when he used to be more relaxed and he wasn’t the best at building (not bad just not how he builds now yk?). However because of how long I’ve been watching (7-8 years) I never really clocked the chaotic change too much. So it’s been making me realize how crazy he might seem to new viewers and I think it’s hilarious

[@PteropusAlecto]

I love his personality honestly I'm somewhat more of a new viewer (I watched him occasionally since Last Life, but now watch a lot more since his addition to Hermitcraft). I've always thought his cocky and arrogant sense of humor is hilarious. Like I don't know what it's called but it's like an ironic opposite of self-deprecation and it's my favorite.

[@chickennuggets655]

I think Impulse and Joel's bases are going to match really well together! like a future city but going through a gate sends you into the remnants of the past!! Also, I'm obsessed with the build style this season. Joel does it very well.

[@fjolliff6308]

You can put tiny shrines throughout the area, tucked into gaps and walls even. I've seen these gates being placed in educational gardens in my city here in the U. S. The gardens are designed by Japanese people, so I don't think they can be considered insensitive or cultural appropriation. I'm not sure if it's the same if a non-Japanese person does it... You could probably sneak a temple or larger shrine into the mountainside along the stairway. There are plenty of spirits that you can choose from, or make up a Minecraft spirit. I know that white foxes are in the game, but you can use rare mobs too. Maybe a firefly shrine or a mob that didn't make it in a mob vote. A protective spirit of the mountain would be in a city like this, maybe the Glare? Even the Rascal.

[@HaifaaAmni]

abt the "manic" comment from a previous vid. When I started watching Joel he wasn't as hyped, I feel like he wouldn't be confident enough to pull off some of these cocky jokes. I watch a lot of mc youtubers and a few years back I realised Joel is like my fav one, I've watched him for so long at that point idk how or when it became so. Like rn I can clearly see that the editing and video production is sooo much better and he is literally so funny every time. he's very wholesome and nice too. Like I lowkey get if a new time viewer is wary abt how serious Joel is being but I am not kidding when I saw he is super nice to everyone he plays with, the bits are like impossible to be taken seriously by his friends (as mentioned by the commenter, Jimmy). Jimmy is bullied by everyone, and if you come from Grian, you would know that those bits with Jimmy are literally just in good fun because he does it too. On smps, you can see that Joel still cares abt people's feelings even when doing a bit, he is so likeable and that helps him pull off the cocky jokes, because he never takes it too far and it's just so good

アホロトル / アホロートル (ahorotoru / ahoro-toru) means axolotl as well as Mexican salamander, you could also use ウーパールーパー (u-pa-ru-pa-) which is also axolotl (especially if it's an albino).

Bro, Joel has TOTALLY desensitized me😂😂 I used to be afraid of loud noises, can you imagine watching Joel with that kind of fear😅 But he and Lizzie were like my second parents, im used to it by now,

As a owner of two axolotls, i am proud to say that's a great tank Joel

I think it will be interesting to see how you link next to Impulse. With your base being Neo-Japanese Cyberpunk mixed with traditional and Imp (With BDubs) doing more usual Cyberpunk, it'll be interesting to see your base act almost as the "Japanese district" to a grander city with it combined with Impulse. Just thinking of the LORE, but this might be the wrong server for that-

"Stop reading the name of my tool please" is the name of his shovel... LOL

17:50 you and Impulse could have a decompression room between your to drastic styles.

Joel just trying to be as respectful as possible makes me so unreasonably happy

The town in XLife was my FAVORITE with all the little details, and this so far is blowing that out of the water! I can't wait to see how it goes and how it meshes with the other hermit's builds on the mountain, I'm so glad you guys have gone this route as its so so cool also---the build-oriented timelapse for the axolotl tank reminded me a lot of the timelapse voiceovers for xlife, really enjoy hearing the building process summarized as it transpires

Anyone else think that cod head at 9:00 kinda looks like a certain fishing maniac?

[@LoafOfTurtle]

yeah, i believe it was referenced a lot in season 7 or 8 lol

[@Wubtastic5585]

Joel has now violated the Brown Axolotl community by forgetting about them. They will have revenge!

[@Ra_Fa]

your base might be my favorite at the moment. im glad you joined hermitcraft

[@LoafOfTurtle]

9:34 the signs say “アホロトル“ (if i read it right), which romanized is “ahorotoru”. I havent quite finished the clip, but im guessing it meant to say “アクソロトル” (akusorotoru/axolotl) the one written down basically just says aholotl

It might be cool to do an underground black market where you go through the strip mine entrance. Would let you use some of the caves in the mountain in an interesting way

I've been having a really rough day, week even, and seeing Joel post this today gave me the strength for tomorrow, thanks Joel :)

I used to watch joel about 10 years ago, beanscraft…i loved his content so much as a kid, he was the first to inspire me to build in minecraft , i wanted to be like him so bad. now 10 years later, im a senior in highschool, and seeing joel play on hermitcraft is so fun

13:12 I feel called out with the shovel name
