Transcript
- 0:03What's up y'all? Welcome back to Danny's to talk.
- 0:06I'm a house Robert. And today, I have to ask how the
- 0:10question, what would you do? And how far would you go to
- 0:14protect those? You love and care about whether
- 0:17it be a Close friend, random stranger or in the case of our
- 0:28MC, your child. Would you be willing to go to
- 0:32links? To do something out of the
- 0:37ordinary. Something they did.
- 0:40You know, most people never believed that you would be the
- 0:43one to do in order to protect your child.
- 0:47So today I'll be talking about a series called my home hero, and
- 0:54I'll just be talking about the first part of it, because that's
- 0:56all I've learned so far. And this is still an ongoing
- 0:59series. Currently there is no official
- 1:04English release which hurts cuz when I came across this series I
- 1:10was like why have I never heard of it but you know I do just
- 1:14want to give a super quick shout out to this.
- 1:19I can I follow on Twitter called manga morga or Manga magura
- 1:25because they post a lot of just manga related stuff as far as I
- 1:31know. Releases new volumes and stuff
- 1:32whatever. And so one day they posted an
- 1:37image of like the latest volume. They released in Japan.
- 1:40I'm like huh, that looks interesting and simple in the
- 1:43comments talking about I was like I was I need to look into
- 1:45this and see what this is about. So this area is follows our main
- 1:51character. Tetsuo tosu, who is a average
- 2:00guy? He's just a businessman.
- 2:02A salaryman is this what they call them in the series who
- 2:06loves to write mystery novels and his free time now?
- 2:10He is married has a wife and they have one daughter who just
- 2:15went off to or who just started college.
- 2:19So so she's like 1920 somewhere around there roughly Now.
- 2:29The Crux of the question. I asked is something that Tetsuo
- 2:37finds himself in a position pretty early on pretty much like
- 2:42in the first chapter or so. So the basic setup of it or how
- 2:49kind of things kind of starts this snowball that goes on into
- 2:55this thriller series is tends to 0 he's traveling for her or he's
- 3:01no around town doing his business.
- 3:06His salary man stuff and he ends up in the area where his
- 3:09daughter stays and he hits up his daughter.
- 3:11He's like, hey, I'm in the area. You know, can it can I come over
- 3:16and see you? But she's kind of being
- 3:18standoffish but of course he's like okay you know, she's a
- 3:23college kid, just got the house heshes, kind of wanted to you
- 3:27know, have her own space to her own thing.
- 3:29So she kept on brushing him off but he kept on, I come on, come
- 3:33on, spend time with your old man and so she agrees to meet up
- 3:37with him at this local restaurant that they often
- 3:42visit. But when she shows up, she's
- 3:44wearing shades, She's wearing a mask as a first.
- 3:47No hizo. You know, are you sick or what's
- 3:49going on? Why is your face covered?
- 3:52And so he eventually ends up talking her, he's a hey, let me
- 3:55see my baby's face. Let me see my daughter's face.
- 3:59And so she takes off everything, whatever he noticed, scars and
- 4:01bruises on her face. And of course, like, anybody
- 4:07would question especially a parent, you know, what the heck
- 4:10happened? And so of course, she's brought.
- 4:14She's, you know, trying to brush it off, whatever, and long story
- 4:18short. The subject of that she has a
- 4:22boyfriend, gets brought up. And so, you know, they have a
- 4:27little conversation about or whatever.
- 4:28And then she ends up that I'll go, hey, I gotta go and she
- 4:32leaves. Well, the dad sister for the bit
- 4:38longer just kind of just pondering everything and then,
- 4:41you know, he gets up to leave as well.
- 4:44But as he's walking down the sidewalk, it's like, it's like,
- 4:46there's like group of thugs. I just call them.
- 4:50You let her find that they'll get their part of like a Yakuza
- 4:53Syndicate. But like a group of thugs walk
- 4:55by and you hear one of the guys say a name like his daughter's
- 5:02name and he's like Maybe that's coincidence but what are the
- 5:08odds that somebody else in this area that is close to her where
- 5:16she lives and stuff, whatever would also be having that same
- 5:19name. So he kind of trust the guys for
- 5:22a little bit and he kind of, you know, here's them like joking
- 5:26about being rough and being on women and stuff and he kind of
- 5:31trails them to this big building.
- 5:35I believe, I think it's a casino or something.
- 5:38Anyhoo, somebody sees that he's kind of been tracking them or
- 5:42whatever and they snatch him up. Beat him up and like, yo, we see
- 5:46you falling our boys. We don't, we don't play that
- 5:49mess and they pretty much like beat him up.
- 5:51I think they practically strip them naked.
- 5:53Take a picture of them as like blackmail by.
- 5:56Hey, Go back to business or this would be posted online and so
- 6:03anywho, you know, feeling defeated.
- 6:05You know, he goes about his business, but he can't get the
- 6:09thought out of his head of our. Okay.
- 6:10This guy talking. About potentially my daughter so
- 6:15he just bought the apartment and Knox.
- 6:18She's not answering, she's not home.
- 6:20Well he has a spare key as some parents, Mike You know, so he
- 6:28goes into whatever he's checking around and stuff, whatever.
- 6:31And then basically the boyfriend is up coming over in the dad
- 6:36hides in the closet. Now the boyfriend comes over and
- 6:39he is Jess. No shame.
- 6:42Just on the phone talking to somebody just practically
- 6:45bragging about the fact that he has beaten.
- 6:49So many women over the years, murder them, and all this other
- 6:52stuff. And of course, test 20 is
- 6:55horrified hearing this stuff. And then he also over here is
- 6:59part of the conversation of the reason why this guy got with the
- 7:02daughter is that Tess who owns wife casein her family on her?
- 7:08Father? That's not of the family, they
- 7:10own this very wealthy company and so basically the Yakuza are
- 7:15trying to get in good with the with the daughter so that, you
- 7:19know, they can basically manipulate her to get their way
- 7:22to the grandfather and his business and stuff.
- 7:26So, Hearing all this stuff. Whatever.
- 7:29This is basically where it says 20 comes to the question of I
- 7:36got to protect my daughter cuz he's like I do not want my
- 7:40daughter to be another one of his victims and he kind of goes
- 7:44back and forth. As far as like, okay, can I
- 7:48really do something like this? And he pretty much now he knows
- 7:55because he's like he's all kite for one.
- 7:57This guy is like half my age because I believed I believed
- 8:02Tesla might be I think maybe like late 30s or early 40s.
- 8:06I think, I think early 40s, because Donna ms-20.
- 8:09So I think like early 40s early to mid 40s and he's okay.
- 8:14Got this Yakuza? Dude?
- 8:15Who probably knows how to fight? He's killed.
- 8:18He he is not afraid of killing people as I've heard him talk
- 8:20about. So he's like I have one shot to
- 8:25take them out and basically he creates a distraction and then
- 8:32he pops out the closet and just knocks him over the head with I
- 8:38think I don't think it was a toaster are some type of house
- 8:41applying sort of ever knocked him out and then his wife walks
- 8:49in shortly after as he's kind of like on the floor just like
- 8:54looking at the body whatever just like shocked that he
- 8:57actually did this because the guy's not moving his wife walks
- 9:00in because she also has a key to the apartment and and, She is
- 9:06also, of course, she walks in and she's like, what the hell
- 9:12happened? What's going on?
- 9:14And basically the husband test, motels casein the Wi-Fi This is
- 9:21the situation. This is what's going on with a
- 9:23guy and almost immediately sheet.
- 9:28Of course, you took a moment to kind of gather herself, but then
- 9:30the wife is all right, what do we need to do?
- 9:34And thus begins this crazy journey of them getting rid of
- 9:41the body. Like, for like, of course, that
- 9:44they don't show everything, like, if super graphic detail,
- 9:46but they did, but they talk about stuff, whatever.
- 9:49So, like, they Dismembered, the body has suffered because of
- 9:54course I between watching different kind of stuff as well
- 9:56as all the research that textual has done for his his mystery
- 10:02novels. He's done research on these type
- 10:06of subjects and things just for some of the characters that he
- 10:09writes and so he's like, well okay, I know we gotta absolutely
- 10:13got to, you know, move the body. And if we got to get rid of it,
- 10:17well, we can't really walk out the door with this.
- 10:19So that means we got Do some choppy choppy.
- 10:24So yeah, so he is up or they end up going out getting supplies
- 10:31and stuff. While the other one kind of
- 10:33guards and gets the tub, ready and They do.
- 10:37They thing body goes, bye-bye. And Yeah.
- 10:46So The other crazy thing, I forgot to mention about this is
- 10:51that the boyfriend, that Yakuza boyfriend, he he got dropped off
- 10:58by or he was riding with one of his other guys.
- 11:03So, of course, He's been gone for a minute.
- 11:08He ain't, he's not answering his phone, he's not coming to the
- 11:11door when they went to the apartment.
- 11:12Whatever. And so this series, I'm not
- 11:17gonna go to like all the step-by-step stuff, whatever.
- 11:19Basically, this series does. There's like so much tension
- 11:23throughout the series of so many freaking close calls between,
- 11:29you know, them try to hire stuff.
- 11:32And then, of course now the Boyfriend, that getting care, he
- 11:38is the son of one of the head people in this Syndicate.
- 11:43So of course and he's the last Living member of this guy as
- 11:47well. So there's a lot of craziness
- 11:51that just goes on. And so many moments of just like
- 11:55man how the heck are they going to get out of XY situation that
- 11:59they're in? Because there was like like when
- 12:04a, what what? Parts of the body they couldn't
- 12:06like flush down the toilet, when they got it to that.
- 12:12They packed up in a suitcase to get home.
- 12:15They put it in like a flower pot, with, like, fertilizer and
- 12:18stuff, or whatever to like, how to do that because it will
- 12:21eventually I would decompose and stuff.
- 12:23But then like eventually. So one of the main guys, they
- 12:27end up having to contend with constantly is one of the Yakuza
- 12:31members name kyoji, majima. Now.
- 12:37He is somebody that practically from the jump, he is suspicious
- 12:42of tetsuo. Like the first time they end up
- 12:44encountering each other and stuff because they're, there was
- 12:48even a point to where Kyoshi down sneak into their house and
- 12:56plant bugs to try to like, listen in on conversations.
- 13:00But of course, tetsuo and his wife or testable kind of figures
- 13:04that out. And so he is Disconnecting them
- 13:08and stuff like that. So it's this constant back and
- 13:11forth kind of cat-and-mouse game, but it even gets to the
- 13:15point where tattoo, well eventually because so.
- 13:19So, basically, once things get to a point to where they
- 13:23directly confront tetsuo, Eventually tetsuo is a working
- 13:30things to where he's like, hey I didn't know we have nothing to
- 13:33do with this. I'm just a regular salary man or
- 13:35whatever but why don't I help you figure out what's going on.
- 13:42And so that's kind of his way of sticking close and gathering
- 13:46information, but also being able to sabotage stuff along the way
- 13:52and that is just like series like this, that is like a part
- 13:56of it that I like Ike. Truly love and enjoy just like
- 14:00the intensity of, you know, not everybody is safe.
- 14:07Characters getting taken out some characters like barely
- 14:10escaping by the Skin, of Their Teeth, all that type of stuff
- 14:15because ha there's even a point where a tetsuo and the
- 14:19boyfriend's dad end up having an encounter at the time.
- 14:23They don't know who each other is, but they end up having an
- 14:26encounter at a bar one. One night and you know, just
- 14:29sitting there talking and they both know how to talk about.
- 14:31They're both being the both being there's and stuff and
- 14:36yeah. So but I'll just I'll working
- 14:40like something. I don't want to like spoil every
- 14:42single bit and piece of this thing, whatever.
- 14:43Because I definitely like this should be ran.
- 14:45I'm like, I just I just wish that it was more officially
- 14:50available because unfortunately, I just had to read it on All the
- 14:55internet. But yeah, like one of my
- 14:59favorite panels is this one where it's just like, he's just
- 15:03in the rain crying just like whatever be a day when all my
- 15:07sins are forgiven and I like how and I'm very excited to continue
- 15:16to read this just because of the fact of like you know, they and
- 15:21this part will be a spoiler. But like I have to talk and
- 15:26discuss the stuff whatever. But basically They end up by
- 15:31Tesla. His wife basket end up deciding
- 15:33because it's like, because basically, they're, they were
- 15:34giving their a given one week. Time to basically it find out
- 15:42who did it or test or or the blame will be polite placed on
- 15:47tetsuo and him and probably his whole family would be killed so
- 15:53they end up working things in a way through tetsuo working with
- 15:57Quixote all this time and getting clothes and stuff,
- 15:59whatever to where the last little bit of remains and
- 16:05evidence. They have they end up and I'll I
- 16:08love this part. They ended up planting it and
- 16:12Quixote's apartment because because tensor, he tried to
- 16:15break into his apartment. But come on now, this dude is a
- 16:17professional Yakuza member. He's not gonna fall for these
- 16:20cheap tricks but just just the constant back-and-forth of
- 16:24Quixote. I trying to hide wiretaps in
- 16:28their house to tetsuo trying to break into Quixote's apartment
- 16:35but it's like you doing the accusing members, of course and
- 16:38even Even like the mama were kyoji had the idea of going back
- 16:42to the Gardens apartment. What they what they do with this
- 16:44special type of black light, there will show blood but tetsuo
- 16:49intercepting that package as swapping out the internals of
- 16:52the flashlight with the regular flashlight and it's just so
- 16:56freaking good and then just In the end, shout out to the wife
- 17:05case in for coming in touch with this.
- 17:07But of course, you know, the scene isn't 100% clean but
- 17:12basically tetsuo is of learning that killed.
- 17:16She has this safe at his apartment that he is no store
- 17:20money, whenever the he's been saving up.
- 17:22Well basically he ends up getting a brief moment toy.
- 17:28He's able to leave Quixote's balcony.
- 17:30Locked and then him and his wife said of his plan to wear while
- 17:35to wear, basically his wife while test, who has killed you
- 17:41somewhere else snakes into the apartment in the middle of the
- 17:44night or superlative water whichever before before,
- 17:47Daybreak, guess in your apartment and she actually
- 17:51guesses the code for the safe because that same flashlight.
- 17:56The test was fortunate earlier. He used on the safe. because one
- 18:00of these aside from identifying blood it's fingerprints and so
- 18:03she can see The four buttons, he was pressing, but from there, I
- 18:11think it was gonna be like a total of like 24 or some gases
- 18:16possible combination guesses and after every three attempts it's
- 18:22like a 10-15 minute or so white in between.
- 18:27So they had to do all these math calculations about okay in order
- 18:32for us to get in and out before. No never start working.
- 18:35Happen. All this stuff whatever she has
- 18:38to guess the code within this time frame and she does she
- 18:41plans to evidence get out of there and then when they come
- 18:45back to his apartment with the others because people who are
- 18:47like hey you know they're saying that kyoji might have done or
- 18:51whatever. Let's check the safe and they
- 18:54healed as a safe and sees the bag in there.
- 18:58And he's like, what the heck out?
- 18:59Who planted this? How did this get in here?
- 19:02But Aurora, I just love that whole cat and mouse game. came
- 19:06even to the point where it looked like he or she is about
- 19:09to die at the end, but He is a being like no I'm not gonna let
- 19:18Tatsu over his family, just live our happy-go-lucky while I am
- 19:24six feet underground and so he makes an escape and he gets up
- 19:28out of there. And one thing he notices as he's
- 19:30running around, he notices like little scuff marks.
- 19:33Like somebody might have snuck in through the balcony and stuff
- 19:36as well as the his patio door was unlocked and he starts
- 19:39putting Clues together and stuff.
- 19:41And so he ends up leaving town for a bit because he's like,
- 19:45man, it's too hot here. I gotta get out of town but this
- 19:50part pretty much just ends with him getting out of town for the
- 19:53time being and tetsuo and his wife and daughter, having a nice
- 19:59family picnic at the park. Just chilling Fun in the Sun,
- 20:03but it's just like man this is not over.
- 20:08This is far from over but I am just super excited to see.
- 20:14What's coming next? Where this goes from here and
- 20:17like I said, I just had to freaking just gushing.
- 20:19Talk about it, you know. Like so I had the original
- 20:22intention of not really trying to spoil things but I'm like, I
- 20:25already did like the, like an odd spoiler talk about this on
- 20:27one of my podcast episodes a few weeks ago.
- 20:29So go this into that. But yeah, because I feel like
- 20:35somebody else out there with might appreciate this many just
- 20:41rambling of thoughts of Of the series so far.
- 20:45But but yeah, but it's still ongoing.
- 20:48I think they're close to 100 chapters, I think whatever.
- 20:50But regardless I'm ready to dive back into this crazy world and
- 20:57see what other crazy stuff. Tetsuo and his spell the end up
- 21:02getting roped into. But yeah, but like I said, if
- 21:06somehow you still listen to all this whatever I still highly
- 21:11recommend going in reading it for Yourself just because it is
- 21:16it. Yeah, it is it is a gripping
- 21:20tale that will pull you through all those chapters.
- 21:24But anyway, thank you for listening to my ramble.
