0:04
What's up, y'all? And welcome back to Danny's to
0:09
talk. I'm a robber and today we're
0:13
back with more 20th century boys with volumes 9 and 10.
0:20
We are at the doorsteps of being done the the the penultimate
0:27
chapters to the conclusion of the series and it is truly Wild.
0:36
To think that I am this close to being done.
0:41
Hopefully you know by the end of this month, fingers crossed I'll
0:44
be done. But as I kind of sit here before
0:49
we kind of like no kind of dive into this, they kind of recap it
0:55
Me holding both of these volumes.
0:59
It just like, truly represents. The weight that this Series has
1:06
on me, like physically and mentally, because these things
1:12
are thick, you know, they're there, 20 20 to 22 about 22,
1:18
some of them, I think some of them had 24 by around 22
1:21
chapters on average per volume. And you know, I think I think
1:28
you know I think all together, I think the series as a whole
1:30
maybe had like 220 somewhere. Round.
1:33
They're roughly of chapters and it's like, yeah, I've read
1:37
longer series, but The intricacies of how this series
1:44
is like storylines is like interwoven with it jumping back
1:49
and forth between you have. No.
1:50
And there is kids to the late 90s to 2015, to where things are
2:00
presently and your three of the fresh herb error and it is just
2:06
a lot. So, but we're going to kind of
2:09
talk through it. As ours is this is your first
2:12
time here, welcome. But if you have no clue what to
2:18
instant rewards is and you have to stumble across this.
2:21
I also just go back. I have, I've recorded for all
2:27
the previous volumes, so if you're on YouTube, I have a twin
2:30
sister boys playlist. If you're on the podcast feed
2:33
just search for, you know, Danny's to talk to him.
2:37
Since you, boys, and you'll find them all and start at the
2:39
beginning and go on. On this journey with me because
2:43
it has truly been a journey. And, but we are not done so
2:50
things pick up, you know, right? Where the end of volume, 8 left
2:54
us, where the two kids sanae and katsuo.
3:01
He got together with the Shogun and Kamisama at the bowling
3:05
alley. And so, you know, we Of what
3:11
this whole I Global Defense Force with all these Hooligans
3:17
running around with a space helmets on.
3:20
Talking about prepare for Alien Invasion and all this stuff and
3:26
you basically have the two kids sanae and katsuo basically set
3:33
off to, they're supposed to be heading to the church.
3:39
You know for for refuge and stuff like that but along the
3:43
way you know they ended up running into that one guy who
3:49
was part of I believe he was part of the Genji faction and so
3:56
basically he needed to get a message to Connor who was I who
4:00
is the ice queen as far as I hate they another plan.
4:05
We need to cancel your. I need to move you out of there.
4:07
And so then we have sanae He goes off to find.
4:14
Kana, and then katsuo makes its way to the church.
4:18
And yeah, like like this whole thing, it just continues to get
4:24
so interwoven, but also, you kind of start to see stielike
4:29
some threads like something like come loose and some aspects, but
4:33
a little bit later on, but you know, we get looking more
4:37
flashback as far as I shall go, when he was younger talking to
4:41
Kamisama about, you know, when he first got the bowling alley
4:44
over there, previous hideout location and stuff like that.
4:48
and yeah, just just a moment when we get to see Connor again.
4:59
And, you know, she's still chilling reading her manga, but
5:05
you just see like so much. Hope has left her eyes just
5:11
because of everything that has happened.
5:14
But You know, with her talking with the guy, and I really like
5:20
this, this color panel we got of Cana but for chapter, 5 titled,
5:28
beginning of Despair. And so, A couple of things
5:33
happened the same time, you know, I like you knows basically
5:36
that the guy that she had their there was cooking the noodles.
5:40
He was actually a spy for the government and Connor basically
5:44
like gave him like Hey just go get out of here get your sister
5:48
that's sick and be gone because she she she said she had a
5:53
feeling that somebody with that organization was was a was a spy
5:58
and she had a strong feeling her was, and the fact that she went
6:01
through all the research, Dr. Films takes pictures of stuff,
6:05
whatever. And she's like, yeah, I didn't
6:07
see your name or your picture anywhere with the people that
6:11
was there at the stadium, which that within itself is kind of
6:14
crazy to learn that, like they had sent vaccinations, which I
6:19
think we still like to learn a little bit about that in the
6:21
previous volume, but just saying, like them dropping off
6:26
these vials of vaccine to these couple of people in different
6:31
areas as far as I, You were at the stadium, you know, a while
6:36
back here's your vaccine and just seeing people just go crazy
6:42
and just ravenous cuz you know, we kind of go no go back
6:47
sometime to where we see like when they're first kind of like
6:50
Gathering up people and put them into these little like
6:52
encampments and stuff. And then we see this group that
6:56
Shogun Encounters of like this group of guys that are managed
6:59
to escape the different locations and they're trying to
7:01
make their way back to toe. Yeah, well along the way of the
7:04
journey they're having a good time.
7:06
They're getting along, their Kumbaya horny, best of friends
7:14
and all of that stuff. And then a deliver Doodles I are
7:21
you sowing so yep. Here's your vaccine bloodbath.
7:26
They just started killing each other and stuff.
7:28
I tell there was like one of them left and it was just so
7:33
wild and like, you know, that stuff like that, that made octo,
7:40
like, really fall into the pit of despair and just like, really
7:45
mixing made him. Remember, Back when his son died
7:50
because he was. So, Buried in his work and was
7:55
hardly around to because you know, we got this back early in
7:59
the series but just kind of a reminder of like man, he was so
8:03
absent from home that one day. You know, his son thought that
8:06
he saw him and his son just was so happy to potentially see his
8:10
dad that he ran out into the street and got hit by a car and
8:14
then that despair that fell upon Shogun was getting that phone
8:18
call. And then trying to find I asked
8:23
sir something up in the mountains but just that monk
8:27
just having him like basically hey you looking for a way to to
8:31
overcome despair, there isn't one and the units that we saw a
8:35
little bit later where Shogun ended up telling this kid, he
8:37
came across as I say, the only way to get past this pair is to
8:40
just keep walking just to keep moving.
8:44
That is like the only semblance of an answer but but yeah, man
8:50
it it was just interesting, just Watching, you know.
8:56
Shogun is journey to him, find this new Village, this kid this
9:01
guy, those kind of people and just like going around and just
9:05
killing people and taking their vaccines all because, you know,
9:12
his whole family, got some vaccines that some guys broke up
9:14
to his family, his home care, all his, is his parents, his
9:19
wife, his kids, could everybody. So now he's going out and doing
9:23
the same thing because he's a hey they did it to me, why And I
9:26
do it somebody else but then him just also falling into the into
9:30
that Despair and stuff. But yeah, it is a I love this
9:39
little panel of Kenji or just Justice Never Dies.
9:45
But you know, kind of getting get more flashbacks in, of
9:50
course, like I loved, I loved the teases that they say.
9:56
Sit along of like, you know, we we know we know as Kenji though.
10:02
I kind of I kind of wonder if like back when people was
10:04
reading this as it was coming out like weekly or issue the
10:08
issue or whatever, like what were people's thoughts of this
10:12
of these things unfolding You know, when can she start to like
10:17
kind of come back onto the scene?
10:20
But this whole thing with this like and coming area, the chouno
10:24
was stationed at 12 hours. I hate you.
10:27
Trying to leave outside the gauge.
10:28
You just get shot outside. No questions.
10:30
Nothing. You're just a shot on sight but
10:37
but yeah, and I love I love the constant shots of like the long
10:43
stretch of road on the other side of the fence or the other
10:46
side of the gate, this chouno was stationed at As you know, I
10:50
said, I just like leading up to Kenji eventually arriving, but,
10:56
but yeah, it is just like some very tough and some very brutal
11:00
things that happened and you know, I see no going along, just
11:06
seeing Connors group making the progress, they finish connecting
11:11
all the tunnels and stuff that they were doing.
11:14
And I enjoy the poorest. We're like the whole music stuff
11:19
started to come into play. Where we had.
11:23
What's that girl's name? Doo doo, doo, doo, doo.
11:31
I can't remember her name but but the the one loud mouth girl
11:36
that, you know, she was hearing a song or she.
11:40
She rented to a guy who was formerly performer for a band
11:45
that she liked years back, when things were normal.
11:49
But He was singing a song that he basically learned from Kenji.
11:56
Why some years back and I just love the slow breadcrumbs of,
12:02
you know, Morrow them finding out and then Shogun and find it
12:05
out and then you know, them kind of getting to Connor and of
12:11
course you know Connor basically kind of like you know at the end
12:14
of her rope slide she has no hope left and Yabuki Joe, but by
12:24
about, you know, just saying kind of just come like at the
12:26
end of a ropes with Despair and like when rho is like yeah but
12:30
the song and she's like I don't care.
12:33
I'm not I'm not trying to hear it, no false hope and nothing
12:36
like that or whatever. But then Shogun gets a ready for
12:40
one of the guys and finds the right frequency and the song
12:45
plays and then Connor is hearing lyrics.
12:49
That she has never heard before and she's like way that's not
12:53
whore, that's not on the version of the song that I know that's
12:56
like extended version or there's more after that.
12:59
And yeah, it's it is always just so good.
13:05
I just like seeing all these different points of interest are
13:08
like to connect to one because even even a sanae thinking, back
13:12
to this guy that she had a crush on her job, who is singing this
13:17
song and how that all of came full, circle came into play, but
13:24
But yeah, just like just like this light Sparks of hope that
13:29
yo, can G might be alive. But I will say the part where
13:37
Connor with the mafia people, that that was a Bittersweet
13:42
sacrifice that they did for her to where they basically,
13:46
pretended to all take the vaccine to get her to take the
13:50
one actual value of x in that they had. just because they're
13:55
like, hey, No matter what everybody in both of the mafia
14:00
organizations, we consider you our daughter and you need to
14:04
live on because if you're not around, they who's basically
14:08
who's going to tell the tale and who's going to be here to try to
14:11
fix things? Because, you know, at the
14:14
moment, you know, they don't know. about, you know, Kenji is
14:18
actually still out there or or You kuji or any of these other
14:25
players that are working in the background.
14:27
Most people don't know about them, but they know about Connor
14:30
and other like, hey, she's kind of like, like one of like the
14:32
last couple people that know, that was there back when bloody
14:38
New Year's Eve happened freaking 1518 years ago.
14:44
But yeah, that was just very, very Bittersweet when you know,
14:49
the, the one, my boss is on his deathbed bass guitar.
14:52
Like hey, you're our Star of Hope, you know.
14:55
And that's why they, you know, took false vaccines, and they
14:58
went off basically to their death, so to speak because they
15:01
want us to try to fight the guys and they got wiped out, but But
15:07
yeah, but let me see. Skipping ahead a little bit.
15:11
All right, the one hippie dude, that's up here, running the
15:16
radio station and I love the dedication that is like, hey I'm
15:20
the only one here in this area that that most people think that
15:24
nobody else there, everybody that everybody else in this
15:27
whole area, got a wiped out. But it is my job to continue to
15:31
play this song on the radio and then Seeing candy shop in that
15:38
one area with its guitar, just singing in front of the guards
15:43
and just send us it in, with their guns and it is just this
15:50
whole sequence of events was just oh, so dope.
15:55
But yeah, man just saying Kenji, like kind of come back into
15:59
play. Okay.
16:00
I see I'll cut out the background of everything.
16:05
All right? Then that Shogun in Connor, got
16:07
captured, but man the part where they meant my Joan, A bass
16:14
guitars. I'm like, yo, the friend got to
16:17
go like hey he needs to go and then we kind of reveal the like
16:21
yeah that's not your dad that that is not fukube because he
16:27
was like you know, after one of their meetings went after like
16:30
2015 with a virus that broke out the second time and they were
16:33
getting reports about hey actually percentages like more
16:37
people survived than we anticipated or whatever and then
16:42
Fran baskets being like being like, Oh shut up.
16:48
You know, he kind of murmured like what would what would a
16:53
fukube do? And that's what made my job got
16:56
my jongo. Like what?
16:59
What do you mean? What fucking baby?
17:00
Do your vocab a very but that's where things kind of start to
17:05
fall apart. Along with this one, like
17:09
Network producer. Dude, there was going through
17:12
film and found old footage of Mahjong back in the day and
17:18
started like piecing. Together thing, as far as like
17:20
who meant man, Joan was and what's what really happened and
17:27
how he might actually be connected.
17:29
The friend and all that stuff and just getting more flashbacks
17:32
to all of that. As far as like, how fukube like
17:37
re-approached man Jong, all these years later and all that
17:42
while stuff. But yeah, it was just Rogers.
17:44
Actually hearing him being like y'all the I need y'all to help
17:48
me kill the friend. and man, Joan just saying, like, how
17:57
brainwash the masses were with like that Mama, where he made
18:02
it, where the friend made himself float on stage, but they
18:05
were actually behind the curtain, like pulling him up, or
18:08
whatever and everybody thought. Oh my God, he's floating.
18:11
And man, Jerome is just like these people are insane, like,
18:17
no matter what they're going to believe anything.
18:20
This guy says, and so, Yeah, that's more or less how how
18:28
volume 9 ended? Now volume 10, volume 10 man.
18:37
Like we we got We basically volume 10 is kind of where we
18:42
started. See a lot of everybody started
18:47
to reconnect and stuff again to where we had a moment where the
18:54
chirico where we find out that the she's had a dojo that she
19:01
set up years ago and honor of her grandfather, who raised her,
19:05
because her grandfather had a dojo back in the day and so,
19:08
she's like the head of the Joey, she's be like training, all
19:12
these kids and young people, you know, just like various
19:17
disciplines and lessons to go by, but, you know, everybody
19:22
kind of started to kind of come together.
19:28
You know, her and octo and they eventually let on the volume
19:34
find yo shizune. And everybody.
19:39
And That one I guess like, lower your lady.
19:45
That's a friend of of of your couch.
19:50
He's basically found a recent photo of curico of Connors
19:57
mother and finding out that I okay that she is still alive.
20:01
She is still out there doing tests for basically the final
20:07
version of the vaccine. Because, you know, there's a
20:11
moment later on Where was his name?
20:18
Morrow. And and the Frog dude end up
20:25
going to see her and she sprayed herself with with the version of
20:32
the virus or they're going to be unleashing soon and she'd
20:35
already shit already injected herself with the vaccine. and,
20:44
So, yeah, so basket, she enjoyed those of the vaccine and that
20:46
moment I can like the back half of the volume where it's kind of
20:49
like a 24 hours. If, if I'm still, if I basically
20:56
if she's still alive for 24 hours, the humanity wins.
21:01
If not, if she dies. The, hey, here's all my research
21:04
on my notes, everything cuz ain't nothing else we can do.
21:10
If, if this fails now Your dad for Humanity is going to be
21:16
wiped out. But yeah like like this whole
21:19
volume just like seeing Kenji, making moves Gathering people
21:26
getting people together around and come together.
21:32
As he's going his little adventure with, with chouno and
21:36
stuff. And man, the mama where they
21:40
follow the guy, to the left that's like going to the gate,
21:44
and he just gets shot on the spot because he had a, he had a
21:47
fake permit, and letter on finding out that one people in
21:53
the town that actually makes like good.
21:55
Fake permits is one of the manga artist that was Connors neighbor
22:01
back in the and so it's just like all this stuff coming for
22:06
Circle finally, and it is just, it is just so good, but man, it
22:15
was kind of Creepy, that one old guy whose job is the bestest to
22:21
dig Graves for people who get shot at the gate for having
22:25
false IDs and so yeah, that whole part was just like so
22:29
crazy nerve-racking this. This freaking cowboy dude, that
22:35
sought out chouno. But ends up coming back, full
22:40
circle to help them out. That whole sequence, a sequence
22:43
of events was pretty wild, but yeah, but I just, I just really
22:48
dug. Like I said, just send the manga
22:49
artists to come back into play. And him Captain with Kenji
22:52
because Kenji is the uncle to his own neighbor, Connor, and
22:59
all that stuff. And just like, The ballsy move
23:05
when Kenji convinced the guy to draw him or to make him a fake
23:09
permit, take it and Kenji, use it got through the gate just to
23:14
prove the okay. It works came back.
23:16
He's all right. How many people are in town
23:19
about 200? All right, drop 200, make 200
23:22
more of these and the guys like what and then just seeing like
23:26
the guy being, all right, I only got two more left and they can
23:30
just like, all right, cool. Let's go and get these out and
23:33
then can you be in the Holy already handed out the previous
23:36
hundred or so and ever. So people are already on their
23:39
way to the gate and just kind of like the the riot and just like
23:45
the Uproar there was starting to happen.
23:47
It's a build up with that was just like just really dope to
23:53
see. And yeah, just the power of the
23:57
people coming together. Then finally getting on the
24:00
other side to get back to Tokyo proper and just kind of like
24:04
them actually seeing like, oh, this big ominous Tower once they
24:08
get to the other side. They just say, oh, it's
24:10
basically a fake have pieced together.
24:13
Shoddy building. But yeah, but and oh, and then
24:22
the flashback wig. Kenji.
24:25
And the guy that's in charge of that tower building or whatever
24:30
of how he saw Kenji back in the day.
24:34
And how good of a person Kenji was as far as like, you know, he
24:37
helped his old lady cross the street.
24:39
He stop this guy from stealing, he sent his only guy from
24:42
setting stuff on fire, all the while this dude was playing a
24:47
part in the background with messing up stuff, you know he
24:55
was involved with Kenji. Sister getting caught up in some
25:00
stuff, and he was the one that pushed.
25:06
Oh yeah, the guy that she was there, she was Richard supposed
25:08
to marry. He's the one that pushed him in
25:10
front of the Train, the setting up fukube to come, and they
25:15
start talking or whatever and everything.
25:18
And yeah, but this dude is just Gesture.
25:25
Just a real sleazebag for real. He's no good and I truly loved
25:31
when Kenji confronted him later on and basically just being like
25:38
yeah you didn't like a side from the one thing where you push the
25:42
guy in front of the train like otherwise you really ain't been
25:45
doing nothing. Like you've been telling people
25:47
to go do stuff and you just sitting here hiding basically.
25:51
And so, So yeah, so that that part was just really do just
25:57
seeing Kenji just like hey I ain't got a care in the world,
26:02
you know, you you know what it is, bro.
26:06
I'm Kenji. What you going to do about it?
26:09
But yeah, man, just saying all that stuff.
26:13
Kind of come together Kana and and your shizune. reuniting and
26:20
making a As yeah. Bear.
26:25
I just kind of like preparing for the end.
26:29
Let's go. That's a chapter with your
26:31
coochie closing, her Dojo. I did appreciate seeing You
26:37
coogee and chirico when they were younger as kids and stuff,
26:41
kind of like helping out each other and things of that nature.
26:48
So, the Frog, dude. Carolyn When Morrow got to his
26:55
little area or got to the error they like oh yeah kiriko is here
26:59
and he's just on the side, gets a gun, bullet shot down in his
27:04
feet and he's like yo chill and he sees The Freakin Frog flag.
27:08
He's like man I think I know who is here.
27:11
And seeing the flash bag for Carolyn.
27:19
Tired old lowest of the low and this man was a super dog.
27:25
He out here running the streets, trying to impress all these
27:29
other women or whatever, why his wife and kids at the house and
27:33
he's struggling ain't making no money but here trying to act
27:36
like a big shot and stuff and you know it is it is cool seeing
27:42
him finally, you know, over the years or realizing that I hey I
27:49
didn't do my part to help out Kenji them back in the day.
27:53
Kenji reached out and asked for help and I wasn't there and he's
27:57
thinking you know, kenji's Dad now all these years and so he's
28:02
all right. Well hey I will do my best to
28:04
help his sister and so that's why he's giving her you know,
28:11
refuge in his area. And so yeah.
28:14
And so, I'm going on from there, you know, we get to see Yeah.
28:20
Kuji I'm a a chirico know kind of get to see like like like the
28:26
first times when she had Khanna has a baby and things of that
28:33
nature to when she basically one day she decided to follow fukube
28:41
to one of his meetings, he's always having and then just
28:45
actually seeing what's really going on.
28:50
The way he's with this these crowds in her calling him the
28:53
friend and you know hurts basically taking Connor away
28:59
from that, from a little caregiver lady and explaining
29:03
why she just shut up. Brent on me one day dropped off
29:05
the baby with her brother and mother and then disappeared.
29:10
As you know, we see, no Mexican. We're just seeing like the
29:14
timeline in order as far as she dropped off, Connor, she went,
29:19
she trying to present Okay, I have all this evidence against
29:22
this friend group, people were never to the police or the
29:24
authorities, but of course, these people probably were
29:28
already bought off by them to the mama, where, you know, she
29:32
wrote a little note that's, you know, I am Godzilla.
29:35
I trampled, I have 150,000 people to death to the burning
29:40
of that facility and then, when the people basically showed up
29:51
to get, To get the vaccine from her and stuff to, you know,
29:59
where where we are now. And then, like I said, we get to
30:02
the part where, you know, she says, I 24 hours.
30:08
If I'm still alive, Humanity wins.
30:11
But yeah. And then just like seeing kind
30:15
of them. All kind of like Gathering up to
30:20
basically try to go to take out the friend and freaking At the
30:26
last minute. But of course, no surprise, no
30:27
surprise. No surprise.
30:28
That Connor did this. But just the fact of like last
30:32
minute, You know, as they're getting into the building, she
30:37
basically. All right.
30:39
Y'all might want to take those to double-check them, to, for
30:41
weapons or whatever, so that she could try to go by herself with
30:45
this grenade. So, she can take out herself and
30:47
the friend. But, you know, that moment of
30:50
realization where she sees a friend, and she immediately
30:53
knows like yeah, who are you? You're not my dad.
30:59
And in that parallel getting the same story from from your cou,
31:03
from a chirico saying that, like when she saw the friend, again,
31:07
some years back that she can merely tell the like, yeah, you
31:12
know, he had the same height, body size and stuff, whatever.
31:16
But it definitely wasn't fukube. And so so yeah, so then just no
31:23
start to slowly fall apart and imma see what was the next part.
31:33
Oh yeah, then we see the freaking, unfortunately, my job
31:36
got taken out by somebody and then they're going to bed, they
31:42
were basically try to put the blame on octo and your coochie,
31:48
but the lady, that was my Chums wife.
31:51
But you know, they're basically like okay, like, are you
31:55
planning on taking a spot or whatever?
31:57
Or what are you planning to do? And she basically is like, no,
31:59
I'm going to be the new holy mother.
32:02
We're just Crazy to hear and stuff.
32:05
But by a bacana uses the threat of the grenade to make her
32:11
escaping to get out. But yeah, the the wildness
32:18
though when she got off the elevator with the friend and
32:23
then you know, she's like, you know, because he just tells her
32:28
because she's like, who are you? And he just says you're all
32:31
Kenji knows who I am and he says it's me.
32:37
You see? I'm I'm the 20th century boy.
32:44
And it was I oh my God, you set the title but I didn't expect
32:49
like that to be the thing or to be a theme so to speak or
32:55
whatever and then of course the freaking Insanity when freaking
33:01
talk show and your coochie still freaking Flying Saucer, it's
33:07
like, bro, what the hell is happening here?
33:10
Like they legit built a flying saucer looking thing?
33:14
And then we see one of the freaking Jambo mabo twins
33:20
actually be like, yeah, it's real, you know, and and it can
33:23
fly like I can vouch for that and then it just funny just
33:28
seeing him again because last time we saw him back like around
33:34
like 2015, whatever. Or so somewhere between bloody
33:39
New Year's and 2015, somewhere in there, when we saw him or saw
33:43
the twins, they had slimmed up lost a lot of weight or
33:45
whatever, but now they put the weight back on and stuff.
33:50
But just kind of like, getting his flashback as far as like,
33:53
how they got to the freaking fonts.
33:55
Also being built with them getting the same science, dude,
33:59
that built the robot thing or originally, but then I'm kind of
34:04
having a secondary plan. As far as okay, hey, we need
34:08
something that will be unexpected.
34:10
At the friend, won't see coming, which the chapter was.
34:13
Tyler unscripted something. What was the cars?
34:16
Like a scripted scripted parts or What was it called a script
34:23
this scenario. That's what it was, but Yeah,
34:29
the the science do basically built another robot and it is
34:37
basically more or less destined for for for Kenji to to Pilot
34:43
it. But but yeah, but it is just
34:48
wild just seeing all the threads starting to kind of come
34:54
together as Kenji are just making his way.
34:58
Making his way downtown walking fast faces pass, and I'm home
35:02
bound. As this whole guitarra, sedara
35:10
chant, continuous people just follow him down the street.
35:16
As we get more back, more flash back to what the where I
35:20
character as a kid as to like basically trying to figure out,
35:23
okay, who is this person? Who is the friend now?
35:27
Who is this? This person?
35:30
And so her remembering that like there was a, basically a fourth
35:33
friend, as far as like fukube sadakichi.
35:37
Oh, the doctor Yama day or whatever.
35:41
But there was a fourth friend there. he was also wearing the
35:47
same masks that acid Akio was was wearing, but it was just
35:54
very dope just ending off this chapter with or this volume with
36:03
you. Could you be like, hey, what
36:04
time is it? And then, no.
36:07
And then she says, it's been 24 hours, Humanity wins.
36:12
So, I'm excited to dive into. These next couple cuz I'm on my
36:21
way both of these back-to-back as well.
36:23
The final volume Volume. 11 of 20 Century boys along with I
36:29
guess. Kind of kind of like an epilogue
36:31
story or whatever with 21st century boys.
36:35
So I'm excited to get to those next but But yeah but I think
36:41
things are rounding out so to speak, you know, like I said,
36:46
you know, if we can imagine has been taken out.
36:49
He's out the picture. Curico seems that I've proven to
36:54
her vaccine works and Kenji is back on the scene.
36:58
I was speaking, was that, that was one thing.
37:00
I was kind of like, I don't know cuz it was like Kenji saying
37:05
something about like he lost his memories for a long time and
37:09
basically he just spent several years, just wandering around
37:13
until basically started remembering, but he's kind of
37:16
suppressing, the memories of because I how bad the situation
37:18
was Toria basket where he had a mama towards, okay, he took
37:22
three days and three nights in the mountains or the Wilderness,
37:25
whatever to just cry it out, just the ball crying out, and
37:30
then start to make it. Sway back because they knew
37:33
like, okay. Hey, Something needs to be done.
37:36
There needs to be a hero to save humanity and I'ma be that person
37:40
and so but that's not the only part time.
37:42
Kind of like really you know, I guess you know they had to make
37:47
up something for to explain like what he's been doing all these
37:51
years. And why, you know, he never
37:52
popped up. He never at least like talking
37:54
about it. Oh yeah.
37:54
Hey I'm still alive out there but But just the fact of why he
37:59
got out of Amnesia, so to speak. Are he, you know, suppressed
38:02
memories or something or whatever?
38:04
It was like, I was hoping that maybe he was, I don't know,
38:10
underground training or light like Shogun, but but it went
38:17
really, really R. If it can do that.
38:19
But like, how I was Shogun the hey, he was off the grid for
38:21
years, but come to find out he was locked up in this.
38:24
Like Maximum Security Prison for a long time.
38:28
But it's like something, you know, heck you know, he got
38:31
trapped on an island somewhere something.
38:35
But you know, but hey, it is what it is, you know, where he's
38:39
back in the picture. And who knows, maybe there might
38:42
be a little bit more to it than that.
38:44
And so hopefully this last volume or volume 11.
38:48
You know, we'll get a little bit more background explanation but
38:52
I am definitely very curious to know how this wraps up and I'm
38:58
say, just out of curiosity, how many chapters is it?
39:02
This final volume, if I can get the pages open, We'll have 24
39:11
chapters. So it's going to be another
39:14
extra meaty one. So, but I am ready to dive in.
39:19
But as always, I appreciate anybody that has been following
39:23
Along on my journey reading 20th century, boys. like I said, we
39:30
got just a couple more to go before we wrap it up, but I'm
39:36
not going to say 100% for sure. What I haven't works but I
39:39
potentially have something that I'm going to do once I have
39:46
completed the full series. So just a little hint little
39:49
tease but like I said, y'all will get more information like
39:53
and see that once that happens, whatever but With that, I'm a
40:00
wrap it up. Like I said, Thank God is always
40:03
