by Donkeys. Jesus, I've seen what you've
0:16
done for other people. To
0:19
be fair, she shoots at him. Jesus, I've
0:21
seen what you've done for other people. This
0:24
is my favorite part of episode 19, where he
0:29
creeps through the woods to be a sex
0:31
pest on Neo-Russia's
0:34
team, and the KGB
0:36
woman just spins around and opens fire
0:38
on him, which is what you should
0:40
do to perverts. I should be completely
0:42
clear here. I'm also like, where did
0:44
she pull that pistol from? Because she's
0:46
completely naked in the creek. Don't
0:48
ask questions you do not want the answers
0:51
to. Neo-Russia has technology we have not seen.
0:53
It's either an unseen holster or
0:56
that gun is like lube proof. I
0:58
don't know which one it is. Mr
1:01
Kalashnikov, we need your science and
1:03
help. How do we build a
1:06
lube that does not irritate human skin, but
1:08
does not jam a weapon? And the guy's
1:11
like, wait, why do you need this?
1:13
Don't ask questions, don't ask questions. That's not part of your contract. You're
1:15
not supposed to ask why. They
1:18
need to make a sequel to that
1:20
movie that they made about Mikhail Kalashnikov
1:22
designing the AK, about
1:24
him designing the lube proof gun. This
1:27
is what happens when you get the
1:29
Kalashnikov movie and you
1:31
take Flubber and you put them together.
1:33
Once again, listen, we hate to bring it back,
1:36
but if there's any country that's going to invent
1:38
the lube proof gun, it's going to be Israel.
1:40
The only country that could make WhatsApp flavored ice
1:42
cream. I've
1:46
broken Joe. I'm trying
1:48
to fathom what the fuck that even tastes like. Other
1:51
than just like your phone annoying. Maybe this is
1:53
just because we do all of our business through
1:55
WhatsApp that whenever my phone vibrates, we're just like,
1:57
God damn it, motherfucker. How
2:00
do you make a flavour of ice
2:02
cream that inherently annoys the shit out of you?
2:04
Once again if there's any country that's gonna do
2:06
it. That's true.
2:11
And somehow it'll also all be funded by
2:13
Boeing. If Boeing,
2:15
if you're listening, please do not assassinate me.
2:20
Very slippery staircase behind you. We
2:22
also get, after Siza perverts,
2:26
every main character of like through these
2:29
three episodes, I guess we can just
2:31
kind of collapse them all together because
2:33
they're functionally one long episode, right? Like
2:36
each episode follows a member of the
2:38
Shuffle Alliance and every member of the
2:40
Alliance is like crippled with self-doubt effectively
2:43
because they got their asses kicked in
2:45
by the Dark Gundam. And
2:48
Psy wants to fight Argo Golsky,
2:52
but for some reason Argo doesn't
2:54
want to because he's now, you know, he's getting
2:56
very existential with his doubts about you know
2:58
being us effectively a slave to the Russian
3:00
state and fighting a child, you
3:03
know. Fair enough on Argo's part.
3:05
He's doing Tolstoy shit. Crime
3:07
and punishment and gundams. Yeah Tolstoy
3:09
Gundam is a fucking... Yeah. I
3:12
mean to be fair they did make
3:14
a pride prejudice in zombies novel as
3:16
a parody. We need a crime, punishment
3:18
and gundams. I mean like if it
3:21
was like Tolstoy and... Okay
3:23
no that's Dostoevsky, fuck off leave me alone
3:25
but come on. If they made Tolstoy and
3:27
Dostoevsky Gundam the battle will last about seven
3:29
years and then nothing will happen except you
3:31
learn a lot about farming. It'd
3:34
be the first Gundam with alcoholism built right
3:36
in. We
3:39
tried to launch this Gundam into combat but
3:41
it fucking killed itself. And if it's the
3:44
Dostoevsky Gundam it's just gonna inextricably become like
3:46
super Christian and a vegetarian in its 50s.
3:49
Fuck that could be any of these
3:51
gundams to be completely fair that does that does this. Yeah.
3:54
How do you like meditating under
3:56
waterfalls and shit like a college
3:59
like student. a gap year in Thailand or
4:01
India or something. The only thing they're missing
4:03
actually fuck Domon is exactly
4:05
this. He even has a guru in the
4:07
fucking German ninja. Yeah, he has. He's doing
4:10
eat, pray, love shit. Yeah. And he's
4:12
being taught by, you know, Hans, brutal.
4:14
Um, unlike how to be, we
4:16
don't have far be it from
4:18
us to criticize the fine ancient
4:22
Bavarian art of
4:24
ninjitsu. Oh yeah.
4:27
You know, ninjitsu was invented
4:29
in a Saxony. I'm still
4:31
completely baffled by this character.
4:33
I know magical. He's a
4:35
ninja. He's German. His name
4:37
is Schwartz, which is a dick
4:39
joke from fucking, uh, space balls. Like
4:43
so many things that play here. Schwartz, brutal,
4:45
uh, fucking yeah. And like, so I saw
4:48
you Schwartz is almost as big as mine.
4:50
Yes. So the size, I
4:52
G wants to fight Argo goals. Key goals. Key
4:54
turns them down. He's like, I'm not interested in
4:56
fighting with you. Then
4:59
the monks appear his like, so I
5:01
saw cheese handlers and like, Oh, can
5:03
you fight him? He's kind of lost
5:05
his spark. He doesn't really want to
5:07
fight. Then the Russian camp is attacked
5:10
by, um, fucking dragon gun.
5:12
Something that looks like the dragon Gundam,
5:14
but it's like shooting flames in every
5:16
direction. And we've seen before this that
5:18
like the Russian Neo Russia team has
5:20
brought with them a fair amount of
5:22
soldiers. And we were like screaming and
5:24
stuff when the flames go rushing into
5:27
camp. So we get probably
5:29
a mass murder going on here. Yeah. They
5:31
took like a detachment of children's cartoon show.
5:33
So we don't see all of it, but
5:35
like it's implied. I mean, they took a
5:37
detachment of soldiers from Afghanistan and like put
5:39
them in fucking, uh, where's
5:41
it there again? Oh, they're
5:43
in fucking Guyana. They're in fucking Guyana.
5:45
So like, listen, if there's
5:47
any detachment of Russian soldiers in a weird place,
5:50
it will probably be somewhere like Ghana. I
5:53
mean, it explains why George de Sond is
5:55
hanging out there. France controls French Guyana, you
5:57
know, George de Sand experiencing extreme.
6:00
They all have PTSD. That's the way they're
6:02
like, they're all hallucinating. Every member of the
6:04
shuffle lines is hallucinating. They're getting
6:06
wildly violent with one another, trying
6:08
to fight one another. You
6:11
get a scene where Domo is just like
6:13
slapping his sword against a tree repeatedly. Not
6:16
sure why he can't achieve like Gundam
6:18
Super Saiyan. It's like, that's not what
6:20
you use a sword for. But
6:22
like, they're all dealing with like Gundam based
6:25
PTSD. Yeah. So
6:27
I saw there's a scene where Domo
6:30
is just seeing floating master Asia had
6:32
screaming and shit talking. Yeah. And
6:34
like, so I saw it. She has like a panic attack and
6:36
like falls off a cliff because he sees fucking devil Gundam
6:40
like, yeah, not a lot
6:42
of the good mental health care systems
6:44
in the Neo world. There's not a
6:46
whole lot of mental health support for
6:48
Gundam pilots. You know, I'd say it's
6:51
not great. You think what all the
6:53
national resources that are expended in like
6:55
putting a nation in space, they could
6:57
at least afford better help. Okay.
7:00
The Neo better help is the worst
7:02
possible thing. Better help is
7:04
like the most cancerous fucking things on
7:06
earth. And like, I can imagine you
7:09
call them and like,
7:11
I don't know, they say something incredibly racist or
7:13
tell you that like, have you tried retreating to
7:15
the giant Sabrero space station or you just get
7:17
someone that doesn't speak the same language or something?
7:20
So yeah. Uh, Argo
7:23
essentially agree, like has a chat
7:25
with Domon and he's like, I
7:28
don't even enjoy fighting because Domon's like, why didn't you
7:30
want to fight? Like this is the only time you're
7:32
free because you're literally a prisoner like
7:34
at any other time. And
7:36
it's like, he's like, I don't actually enjoy
7:39
fighting. The only time I've enjoyed fighting is
7:41
fighting you. And then he
7:43
agrees to fight. So I saw your my
7:45
soulmate. And it's very funny
7:47
cause like, size, I, she is like throws like
7:49
a couple of kicks at him whenever and does
7:51
absolutely nothing to Argo. And he's for some reason
7:54
shocked by that. Like you're a literal child and
7:56
Argo Golsky is the size of a Gundam. Yep.
7:59
I'd like to be fair. Why would this hurt
8:01
him? And like I know these episodes are kind
8:03
of filler, but this fight was incredible because it
8:05
doesn't use all the canned animations like all this
8:08
stuff like was custom drawn and we get like
8:10
a lot of emotion and everything. It was pretty
8:12
cool. I think they kind of had no choice
8:14
because they had no canned animation for these two
8:16
to fight one another. And
8:19
we do get Bolt
8:21
Gundam, the Neo-Russia Gundam, getting its arm torn
8:23
off, which for some reason happens twice in
8:25
three episodes. Yeah, yeah. You think like you'd
8:27
learn from the first time? I'm bad for
8:29
the mechanics. Like you lost another fucking arm.
8:31
God damn it. Yeah. And
8:34
then how many Gundam arms could be being manufactured
8:36
in Russia at any given time? Then
8:39
it turns out that the death army,
8:41
so like the death army mobile suits
8:44
were like the ones that burned down
8:46
the Russian camp. They have like the
8:48
dragon fire breathing thing that like dragon
8:50
Gundam has. And they're
8:52
wearing like their Gundams have
8:55
costumes. Yeah. Which tells me
8:57
Master Asia is very bored. Yeah. So
9:00
no, you have to understand we have to craft
9:03
all of these disguises. We have some
9:05
cardboard, have some markers and crayons. We'll
9:07
do some arts and crafts time with
9:09
the, with the death army. But
9:12
yeah, so Argo and Saisaiichi are like, essentially
9:14
like we can't fight. We're after kicking the
9:16
shit out of each other. So like Domon
9:18
has to fight the death army,
9:21
but like the repairs on shining Gundam
9:23
aren't done. And he like, he
9:25
can't like control shining Gundam, but he
9:27
uses his focus while fucking
9:30
hand sprutal is like that. Whatever, whatever
9:32
rain was doing, the maintenance caused it
9:34
to just shock the piss out of
9:36
him. Like, God, why, why would you
9:38
do maintenance like this? Oh, sorry. I
9:41
just left a whole bunch of loose wires
9:44
everywhere in the cockpit. I thought this was
9:46
OSHA certified repairs. So
9:49
yeah, I don't think OSHA is going to certify like a 16 year
9:52
old Gundam mechanic. I think that he's like just
9:54
Neo Japan really trying to keep under the
9:57
budget on this one. So they
9:59
hired. a
10:01
Gundam mechanic off of Neo Craigslist? I
10:03
don't know. You can put Neo in front of anything and it applies.
