Manga Talk: Karate Survivor Vol 2-4 · Dad Needs To Talk

• 0:03
  What's up y'all? And welcome back to Daddy To
• 0:05
  talk I'm your host robber. And today, today after two
• 0:11
  years, I am back to talk about Karate Survivor in another world
• 0:17
  now, Karate Survivor. This series holds a very special
• 0:23
  place in my heart because it is one of the first series that I
• 0:30
  covered since I started doing the podcast, YouTube, all this
• 0:34
  stuff, whatever that I considered a hidden gem and it
• 0:39
  was kind of one of the first series that kind of made me
• 0:44
  continue to be open to the idea of just giving Series A chance.
• 0:49
  And so the only the only bad thing by Karate Survivor is that
• 0:53
  it comes out very slowly. I think now we're at like 1
• 0:58
  volume a year pace because back when I originally reviewed
• 1:02
  volume one, volume to it was coming out a few months
• 1:06
  afterwards and volume three came out the spring of 2022.
• 1:11
  And then volume 4 just came out earlier this year, 2023 and
• 1:16
  volume 5, it's scheduled for like February of 2024.
• 1:20
  So doesn't come very often, but I did.
• 1:25
  I did read volume two and three when they first came out and I
• 1:30
  guess let me take a step back and just in case if anybody's
• 1:32
  coming across this that haven't watched my original or heard my
• 1:36
  original review of it or whatever.
• 1:38
  Pretty much Karate Survivor in another world follows this guy
• 1:43
  who goes by the name of Nomad who gets reincarnated into
• 1:48
  another world, but the only thing he has at his disposal is
• 1:55
  his karate skills that he knew from his previous life.
• 1:59
  No other perks or buffs or magic or nothing or whatever.
• 2:04
  The guy just dropped him in this new world in the middle of the
• 2:07
  woods butt naked with just as karate skills.
• 2:11
  Well since the events of volume one I I I ended up going back
• 2:18
  just because like I say it has been a while.
• 2:20
  I went back and I read it again from the first volume all the
• 2:25
  way up through volume to volume three and the latest volume,
• 2:31
  volume 4. So and like I mentioned
• 2:38
  previously and I'll continue to mention Karate Survivor is I'm
• 2:46
  trying to think what what what is the phrase I had used simple
• 2:51
  execution because like I've mentioned previously Karate
• 2:54
  Survivor, there's something super big and fancy and flashy
• 2:58
  about it. The art is decent is nothing is
• 3:00
  going to blow you away and aside from that like I said but I
• 3:05
  don't know it's just something about it just speaks to me just
• 3:08
  the the the author has an idea and is executing on the idea and
• 3:17
  I can't really ask for more than that.
• 3:20
  But since the last volume Our Boy Nomad he after he saved the
• 3:27
  girl and stuff went on the adventure, he ended up going off
• 3:31
  on his own And now where he is currently in the story he has a
• 3:36
  party crew with him and we continue to kind of learn a bit
• 3:41
  more about this world and stuff. And so obviously I'm a spoil
• 3:44
  some stuff up through volume four that that I recently read
• 3:49
  the most recent volume at the time of this recording.
• 3:52
  But he meet these guys end up becoming part of the party and
• 3:59
  basically starts to kind of get get acclimated into some type of
• 4:02
  normalcy and regular life. And so it's just been just
• 4:06
  really good, just seeing him grow and level up and hone his
• 4:12
  skills and stuff. But along the way, he's also
• 4:17
  attracted unwanted attention simply because, you know, this
• 4:21
  new guy comes out of nowhere, ends up currying favor with one
• 4:25
  of the most powerful guilds in the city, and becomes an
• 4:28
  effective member of that team. And then there's rumors going
• 4:32
  around that he doesn't go out and splurge like a lot of other
• 4:35
  adventurers do, that he is clearly saving his money
• 4:38
  somewhere. So people are trying to rob him,
• 4:40
  constantly trying to kill him and stuff towards like in volume
• 4:44
  four and something else that we kind of learn about the world
• 4:48
  and how stuff works, whatever, is that basically every five
• 4:52
  levels you level up, you basically have to defeat a
• 4:55
  monster of the next higher category.
• 5:00
  And so pretty much the dilemma a lot of these adventures have run
• 5:03
  into is that a lot of them get capped at level 15 because they
• 5:08
  have to defeat a class 4 beast or creature.
• 5:14
  And unfortunately the only way to kind of stand any type of
• 5:17
  chance against them is to get is to have a black Steel weapon.
• 5:23
  But Black steel is very expensive.
• 5:27
  Only some of like, only some of like the highest of highest
• 5:30
  classes and rich people can can't even afford it.
• 5:34
  And so a lot of people just basically just learn to be
• 5:38
  complacent with reaching level 15 and just doing their best to
• 5:42
  just live their lives, be adventures of stuff from there.
• 5:45
  But Nomad as things kind of wrapped up in volume 4 after he
• 5:53
  defeated like honestly probably his his toughest opponent today
• 5:58
  because he ended up so. He ends up pretty much getting
• 6:00
  ambushed by this group of dudes who like a like a for the
• 6:05
  reasons I mentioned. They saw his path that he's been
• 6:09
  off since he came into town or whatever and so they wanted to
• 6:12
  try and take them out and unfortunately things got messy.
• 6:16
  Nomad ended up taking them into a a goblin nest and in the
• 6:23
  goblin camp or nest camp, whatever were three special
• 6:27
  class goblins that pretty much messed up these dudes that was
• 6:32
  chasing Nomad. Well, Nomad ended up taking out
• 6:35
  all three of them, all three of the special classes eventually,
• 6:39
  but he definitely didn't walk away unscathed from from from
• 6:46
  that very last one. But it it was a very dope fight.
• 6:51
  But like I said, in the end he pretty much came up with the
• 6:55
  plan to to basically try to work with his crew mates and stuff to
• 7:05
  save up money in order to to buy a black steel weapon and to try
• 7:13
  to take down a high class, level 4 class monster.
• 7:21
  And so we kind of have a shot here of the squad of the three
• 7:27
  special class goblins and stuff. And then at the very end of the
• 7:32
  volume we get a peek at the it's called a rock lizard that they
• 7:40
  have their their eyes set upon. But but yeah, so, so I'm very
• 7:45
  excited for when volume 5 comes out next year.
• 7:50
  One thing and like I said, one thing.
• 7:51
  That one thing that kind of like really showed me how much I love
• 7:54
  this series. Because just like volume one,
• 7:56
  where as soon as I read it within as soon as I bought it
• 7:59
  and got home, within like an hour, I had already blazed
• 8:03
  through it or whatever. And then I noticed that I did
• 8:06
  the same thing when volume to came out, when volume three came
• 8:08
  out. And so I ended up.
• 8:11
  And because of that, that's why I had little to no hesitation
• 8:15
  with starting back from the beginning again.
• 8:18
  Because I know it was a quick and fun read.
• 8:21
  And yeah, I pretty much knocked it all out again within a few
• 8:24
  hours between me doing that stuff, taking my son to practice
• 8:28
  and chores and stuff, whatever. Oh yeah, so Karate Survivor.
• 8:33
  Like I said, I am very excited for the developments that have
• 8:37
  happened. Like I said since I read volume
• 8:40
  one two years ago and seeing where things stand now.
• 8:45
  And I cannot wait because I know it's going to happen.
• 8:48
  But I cannot wait until these guys basically level up and
• 8:55
  cross that threshold. Just because I'm just ready to
• 8:58
  see the repercussions and what effect that it's going to have
• 9:04
  on the greater world once word gets out that these guys took
• 9:10
  down a Class 4 level monster and they leveled up past Level 15.
• 9:15
  Because as far as what's known so far in the story, and it's 4
• 9:19
  volumes, there's no known person that has done that.
• 9:25
  And like I say and I and I also look forward to seeing what
• 9:28
  other skills and stuff or attributes or whatever that
• 9:34
  Nomad learns over time. Because because at the end of
• 9:37
  volume one or someone within volume one I believe or maybe
• 9:40
  it's volume to he had unlocked the detection scale and the
• 9:47
  concealment like concealed presence skills and stuff.
• 9:51
  And so with the detection scale, when he first was using it and
• 9:54
  volume to to fight these wolves or whatever, he can maybe barely
• 9:58
  see like a silhouette of what they looked like, but or not
• 10:05
  even a silhouette. It was just like a BLOB, just
• 10:08
  like a like a color BLOB that show up and there's something in
• 10:11
  the area. But eventually he leveled it up
• 10:13
  enough to where he can actually see the outline and the
• 10:16
  silhouette of what the individual person, creature,
• 10:19
  animals, whatever it is. And so I just look forward to
• 10:22
  seeing more of that stuff. His karate skits continuing to
• 10:27
  hone and it was kind of doping and to learn that he had kind of
• 10:32
  been having his karate skill just passively activated for all
• 10:38
  these months that he's been in this world.
• 10:40
  Until there was a point in time where his where his group has
• 10:45
  some time off so he didn't have to be on alert and so that's
• 10:48
  kind of what he started back to learning all this stuff.
• 10:50
  So but anyway, I'm just rambling.
• 10:52
  Like I said, I just wanted to show some love again to Karate
• 10:56
  Survivor because like I said, nothing special or or
• 11:01
  groundbreaking with this. But it is a series that I
• 11:04
  continue to champion and to support because like I said it's
• 11:10
  it's just something something special about this one.
• 11:13
  And I honestly I look forward to hopefully the eventual day where
• 11:17
  it might be many years from now but I look forward to the day
• 11:20
  where we get a Karate Survivor anime.
• 11:24
  So I will be there day one for it to support it.
• 11:28
  But but yeah. So as always thank y'all so much
• 11:32
  for watching and or listening. Let me know hey have you I
• 11:35
  checked out Karate Survivor because I know it's a series
• 11:42
  that not many people talk about, especially especially with their
• 11:46
  being at East of Kai and stuff. Whatever people are are already
• 11:49
  have their thoughts and feels about East of Kai's.
• 11:51
  But I am always down to check out something new, something
• 11:57
  interesting to give it a chance and I look forward to talking
• 12:01
  about Volume 5 whenever that comes out next year.
• 12:05
  But y'all be easy and let me know what y'all think of Private
• 12:09
  Survivor. Follow me everywhere I had Dad
• 12:11
  needs to talk and I'll catch you on the next one.
• 12:14
  Peace.
