  Speaker 2: Question 3. Which 80s cartoon character had an alter ego
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: named Prince Adam?
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: And your Big Bang question, again, the categories language and history.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: During most of the period spanning from 1185 to 1868,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: the official title of the military rulers of Japan was
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Sei Taishogun, which translates to Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Force
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: against the what?
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: And now the answers to the Big Bang round.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Question one.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Which character created by Robert E. Howard was born on
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: a battlefield, the son of a village blacksmith from Samaria? Conan.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Question two. Unearthed Arcana is the title of a hardback
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: book published in 1985 as supplement for different editions of
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: what tabletop RPG? Advanced Dungeons and Dragons.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Question three. Which 80s cartoon character had an alter ego
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: named Prince Adam? He-Man.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: And finally, during most of the period, spanning from 1185
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: to 1868, the official title of the military rulers of
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Japan was Seiitai Shogun, which translates to Commander-in-Chief of the
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Expeditionary Force Against the What? First introduced as a class
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: in Unearthed Arcana, it's what Conan and He-Man are. Barbarians.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: I don't think I realized He-Man was a barbarian.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, he is not super explicitly called it
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: a lot, but he was definitely inspired by barbarian as
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: a character. I think whoever made him took like four
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: different types of fighters and liked the look of the barbarian,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: and so he used that. But there is a lore
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: in the Masters of the Universe that says he's from
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: a tribe of barbarians, or like that's kind of the
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: avatar he's drawn from or something like that. But, I mean,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Prince Adam is a spoiled rich brat, you know, from
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: the lord and lady aspect of it. It's interesting to
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: have medieval and also space or sci-fi mixed in together.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: I wonder if that's why He-Man is so popular.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of mashup happening there.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: And the Japanese term originally referred to the general who
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: commanded the army sent to fight the tribes of northern Japan.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: But after the 12th century, the term was used to
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: designate the leader of the samurai. Oh. And you'll hear
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: it often just shortened to shogun. Yeah. And that basically
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: means army commander. But what I read and I thought
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: was interesting was the original use of it had Sei
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Tai Shogun all together. And it was basically like whoever's
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: leading the army against the barbarians. Yeah. Or to expel
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: them or whatever. So that was fun.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh, I had never heard that before. So I
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: think it's great.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Hope to see you at the Zoom Trivia this weekend.
