Manga Talk: 20th Century Boys Volume 7&8 · Dad Needs To Talk

0:03
What's up y'all? And welcome back to Danny's to
0:06
talk. I'm your host Robert.
0:08
And today, we are back with more 20th century boys with Volume 7
0:15
and volume 8. So the roller coaster continues
0:24
as we speed right past? You know, a little a little bit
0:28
past the halfway point of the series now and just once again,
0:35
the way this series continues to Loop things back around connects
0:45
things. Make you question, who is this
0:48
person? Why is this relevant?
0:52
Why are we here at this location?
0:55
And I truly love. Now, some series no have done,
1:02
you know, jumping back and forth between time periods and stuff
1:05
and it doesn't make sense but 20th century boys all say a
1:09
volumes in and they continue to You knock it out apart because
1:16
one thing I love about with the passage of time and the series
1:22
is that you might see a character and be like, who is
1:27
this? Why?
1:27
Why do we care about this person?
1:30
And then all of a sudden, it's like, oh you're this kid from
1:35
the class as a 40 50 year old adult.
1:41
So yeah. So of course, as always, if this
1:45
is your first time here, welcome, but if you're returning
1:49
listener or Watcher, then welcome back.
1:51
You already know what it is. We're freaking seven, eight
1:54
volumes into the 20 Century boys series, but it's just in case,
1:58
if you're here for the first time, pretty much, I will be
2:01
doing for spoiler deep, dives into both volumes.
2:04
Now, I will apologize because I, I would like to try to keep
2:07
them. Separate or whatever.
2:10
But you know with last video or in the last episode me doing 5
2:16
and 6 together, it's kind of get a little bit muddy because I'm
2:18
like, just because like I'm trying to get through the series
2:22
but not in a bad way. I'm rushing.
2:24
But the same time it's like it's sometimes hard to read one, then
2:29
stop and then record and then going to the other one.
2:31
I'm like, you know what, let's knock out a couple at a time.
2:35
So I had to stop myself from going past It just goes, I was
2:40
like, covering three. I won't be a lot because doing
2:42
one bicep is enough and to roof. So just now that may be read
2:49
both of these before you listen to this because I don't you
2:53
think I'm just going to just start with seven and only talk
2:56
about seven, I might make some match because I guess it's
2:59
tough. It's going to kind of blend
3:00
together but enough jibber-jabber.
3:02
That's kind of dive into it. So pretty much Volume 7 picked
3:07
right back up where we pretty much get the reveal that in the
3:11
confirmation. That fukube one of their old
3:14
friends was the friend. So we kind of see, you know,
3:21
that he was the one with them taking pictures or just kind of
3:24
creepy now it's like it's like okay the person y'all thought
3:28
was, you know, this or whatever is here and Yeah it's crazy.
3:37
You know the he was the one that took the picture of them on that
3:41
day and stuff bear. So we pretty much started off
3:45
with just kind of like You know, everybody freaking out, you
3:48
know, from hearing the gunshots at the school and the science
3:52
lab and all that stuff, anybody making a run for it and, and
3:56
actually pretty much confirming. Like, yeah, he is dead.
4:00
I checked this post, he wasn't moving, he's done for but as we
4:05
would learn and volume 8, that is not the case.
4:14
And speaking of, are you a real quick?
4:16
Because this is something, it made me question, I was, I was I
4:19
have I just have been paying attention to these covers but so
4:22
far I think volume is the only one that does this to because
4:24
all the other covers, you know, have the text 20th century boys
4:30
present, presented by narrow kirisawa, and it kind of like
4:35
awesome kind of like lettering, you know, over the faces and
4:39
stuff, but then Volume 8. Has something little bit
4:44
different. And it said, Yoo-hoo, Yoho
4:49
Kenji, Yahoo Kenji. Coon, come on, let's play.
4:56
That's not what I read that. When I got said, I was also
4:59
white. I was like have all of them had
5:01
different messages but no, that's the only one and it's
5:05
very fitting that that is the only one with that on there but
5:13
by know who they are. So we personally like to get a
5:15
confirmation of Goodbye was the friend and then he got shot.
5:20
He supposedly killed at the school.
5:24
And so we kind of Beginning at some flashbacks because between
5:29
these volumes we learn, and we saw some moments where my Jean
5:36
met, fukube them, when they were kids because he was selling
5:43
spoons and stuff whatever like supposedly like so much space,
5:48
super alloy, spoons, whatever. And when he met the friend then
5:54
when they were kids and stuff and so I was kind of interested
5:57
in mice in their connection and how they are first met. but, but
6:04
yeah, so of course like Widespread Panic and stuff goes
6:09
across the world because it's like, oh my God, the friend is
6:12
dead and we get shots of just like various cultures across the
6:17
world like reacting to his death and then pretty much like You
6:26
know, the the I'll call them the friend council with Mahjong,
6:32
man. John and all the other people
6:34
that were kind of, like, kind of like the, like the I'll call
6:37
them come on the board members for the for the friends.
6:42
And so, of course, with the frame band, Dad, it's okay.
6:46
Who's going to kind of like step up and be the leader?
6:48
Well, some other people was kind of like, well, you know, man,
6:52
jom you don't automatically like, yeah.
6:54
We know you've known him for a while but that is automatically
6:57
make you the person in charge. And so over the course of Volume
7:04
7, we see several members of the council group died in mysterious
7:10
ways. So they're kind of no fighting
7:13
for power and positions. And so yeah.
7:18
So temporarily for a bit. Everybody kind of or some
7:22
people. I should say, some people think
7:24
that, oh, my God, is over yada. Yada yada but people like octo
7:32
is kind of like. Yeah.
7:37
You know, just because he might be dead.
7:40
You know, the friend group is still out there.
7:43
There's basically there's still work to be done.
7:48
And so, you know, so, you know, and commerce want to go with him
7:52
and stuff. And I just like, no, no, you
7:55
don't need to follow me with where I'm going.
8:00
And so, you know you know extra kind of feels no contest kind of
8:05
like hey it's not your fault, you know like like yeah sure mom
8:09
might have created the virus of been involved with the creation
8:13
of the virus and your dad is the friend.
8:15
But you know this is not You. And so we kind of get then we
8:24
kind of jump back to get some more context for what for what
8:32
should remember her name? Where dessert sounds like
8:36
somebody freaking characters? Do, do do kiriko.
8:44
Connor's, mom, chirico. So kind of go back, and we know,
8:47
see kind of how stuff with the virus came up to wear for a
8:54
while, is kind of like a game to where she would make a fire or
8:58
shoot know what's his name. Dr. Yamane would make the virus
9:06
and then she'll make a vaccine and then he would make Not
9:10
stronger virus that come either vaccine and the Shoemaker
9:13
stronger vaccine and so they just kind of kept this
9:16
back-and-forth going for a while until he made the version of the
9:20
virus that is like being going on now.
9:23
And so that's why, you know, she's been kind of out during
9:26
research and trying to find another cure and she pretty much
9:30
said, no, tell them like, hey, you like We need to stop cuz
9:34
like pretty much like you know because because basically he
9:37
shows her his latest creation and she's basically like, yo,
9:41
are you trying to wipe out humanity and so, you know, he's
9:46
just thinking it's a game, you know.
9:50
But But yeah, so kind of go through that.
9:58
Let me see. We kind of we got like a really
9:59
cool flashback to Toucan G. When he was at his little and
10:06
his little band of stuff and they are performing and the wine
10:12
guy. the the singer I do guy that the morrow works with, we
10:22
learned that he was a I think a drummer in the group I think he
10:28
was a drummer. Let me see.
10:32
Yeah, yeah. He was the drummer and our group
10:35
and he ended up getting scouted out by a bigger group or
10:38
whatever and kids, I go ahead, man, go ahead.
10:41
I'll find another drummer, it'll be okay and so that's kind of
10:46
why All these years later, he's helping out because he feels
10:51
like he owes a debt to Kenji, you know, for for what happened
10:56
back then and I just found that's like super cool, you
11:00
know, way to tie this guy and because your first, it's like,
11:05
okay, why is this random famous singer?
11:09
I do guy wanting to get involved, you know, with with
11:13
what's going on. And then it's just stuff like
11:17
this that I love. Like now he knows Kenji from
11:20
way. Back in the day, he was in his
11:21
band and yada yada yada Sr. Here we are.
11:26
And how about this? I really doubt mom or he just
11:31
like shows off his his awesome drumming skills going off on the
11:37
drum. But but yeah.
11:40
So that happened Cory's owe me. She's back to school.
11:47
Things are seemingly sort, some. Well, she's trying to go trying
11:51
to get back to a normal life but Are time she sees the news it's
11:58
just she can't escape in that. She she is too involved with the
12:03
friend group and so starts basically start getting reports
12:08
that the some of the guys says that koizumi them match a while
12:15
back. The kind of like kind of like
12:19
random group of young guys do like a little bit older than
12:22
their paralyzed like early 20s or so, you know.
12:26
Kind of like hitting on them and stuff and they're becoming
12:29
friends and stuff and baskets learning that some of them have
12:32
been coming up missing and then that's kind of where we start to
12:36
see that. You know the you know the
12:42
friends are still doing work there still are there back to
12:45
starting to the spread the virus again and so koizumi her friend
12:50
basket goes over to the to the to to one of the guys houses and
12:55
mystified. Has him dead in his apartment.
12:58
And so, And so, yeah, so pretty much the yeah, things are just
13:05
chaos is just spreading, you know, because like is currently
13:09
there is no effective vaccine against this version of the
13:12
virus. So, so this is like one of the
13:18
first times where things started like once again.
13:21
One of those moments where I was like, okay, what is going on?
13:25
Why are we here? So we kind of basically get to
13:28
this like random Village. Where we see this like frogs
13:32
Japanese soba truck Jonathan is like deserted area.
13:36
As we also see this is there in New Mexico and America New
13:39
Mexico. As you see this little boy
13:42
passed out on the ground with a shovel next to him.
13:45
And so basically kind of find out that the guy in the food
13:50
truck or whatever, he's with his son but he is basically a little
13:53
frog, looking guy from back when they were kids, I'm not thinking
13:57
that was like cat khaki, wink it Carrie Seeing some Frogman, not
14:02
just calm that, but just his whole little Arc with his son,
14:08
you know them going through this Village then finding this little
14:11
boy and basically learning that there was an outbreak of the
14:15
virus and this poor unfortunate boy has spent, who knows how
14:21
long, how many days bearing everybody in town because it
14:25
seems like pretty when she's on the Survivor in this whole town.
14:28
And basically, we That Caraco had passed through some point
14:34
and she was trying to get them to test out the vaccine.
14:37
But of course, We're just kind of, kind of weird in a way, like
14:46
some of the stuff going on in this in this volume with what's
14:49
going on currently in the world as far as like with covid and
14:54
no, viruses and vaccines and all this stuff forever.
14:58
And just kind of saying some parallel stuff in this volume to
15:02
where there was even a part to wear, like a characters wearing
15:05
a mask and he asked his dad. A door.
15:09
Somebody of like, you know, dude, does me wearing this mask
15:15
help or whatever sis? I likes it was just kind of just
15:20
Interesting likes to just reading this in today's age, you
15:23
know. Now, maybe if I were to wear
15:24
this like a few years ago before Covina stuff, then you know
15:28
powered pain on my two boys. Like being in the world we are
15:31
now it just kind of Similarly, fourth wall breaking, but this
15:37
was like 90s early 2000s. This series was written.
15:40
So, but man, you saw, I saw saw the bass, so you're learning
15:45
that our chirico had passed through at some point and she
15:49
was trying to help people out and get the viral.
15:51
Give the vaccine to people and Bess queuing.
15:56
We're Frogman learned this and stuff and learning who she was
16:00
and that she know that that was oh that's kinji sister.
16:03
He realizes. Oh okay I got some work to do.
16:07
I need to help and so so yes I just really liked that little
16:14
Piece of that arcturian, those like this, you know, chirico
16:20
basically offering money in the hey, I'll pay for somebody to
16:24
test this out, or whatever. And the boys going to test it to
16:27
get money for his dad. And then, you know, everybody
16:30
else around him starts dying and so So yeah, so then where do we
16:38
go to? Let me see.
16:42
Okay then, yeah, so yeah. So we have know where this old
16:45
couple found carrico passed out in the woods that kind of helps
16:50
nurse her back to health and she gave them one vial of the
16:53
vaccine and you know, she's like, hey, this is no, I don't
16:58
have much. This is all I have to spare and
17:01
she lives it. Then she leaves it with them as
17:03
thanks. And, you know, the old couple,
17:06
they're starting to get sick. And then they basically decided
17:09
to give the Satan little boy in town.
17:12
I was like hey you know no way instead of us taking it let's
17:14
give it to the little boy. So so yeah.
17:18
So then all hell contains to break loose because no get the
17:22
11:7 how creeping fear to where they're starting to set up these
17:27
like quarantine zones, which it kind of everything about Last of
17:34
Us how they were living in that world.
17:37
Especially blessed as one, where they had, Like a lot of like met
17:41
humanity and he's like sectioned off zones and so, of course, you
17:46
know, people are freaking out and stuff and you know, get will
17:52
go back to the koizumi as best because she is of starting to
17:55
piece together. What's going on with the guys
17:59
and stuff. And her friend is a getting a
18:03
visit from from somebody. That is spreading the virus via
18:08
fish. Like he's going through the
18:09
door, give him this. Yes, but the fish is actually
18:11
contaminated with the freaking virus.
18:16
So Sorry, I Stole Your Shoes doing a them end up coming
18:22
through and saving koizumi down and so So I guess I basket, then
18:32
they then they decided like hey in order for us to find out
18:35
what's going on. We need to go back into the into
18:38
the firm world and to them to the virtual reality world of
18:42
their childhood. And so you know, while they're
18:46
doing that, there is no plans for a for various Memorial
18:51
Services going on and And of course mageau him, he is so
19:02
distraught. And so I'm not gonna go through
19:05
all this but basically they end up kind of them and again, back
19:08
and stick them back into friend, land, and going back into the
19:13
virtual world, 1970 of the, the childhood.
19:19
So, It was interesting enough for your shizune to, you know,
19:26
go back to this time period of stuff.
19:29
And so, you know, one thing, you know, here, trying to figure out
19:34
is, you know, Basically, what was he doing during this summer?
19:41
Because I could you start to see like, okay, you know, Kandi has
19:44
been into his music Morrow and somebody else had helped out
19:48
their family with work, family, work, whatever around the house
19:54
and their businesses and stuff. Whatever.
19:55
And so basically, you know, times this pet Thomas, Preston,
19:58
are everybody's getting older? Everybody's kind of Grown Apart
20:00
doing their own thing. So anywho We freaking me
20:08
Kamisama. So we learn that the reason why
20:13
Kenji Downs little secret hideout got destroyed was
20:18
because Kamisama bought the land and built a bowling alley on it
20:23
which lose back to freaking like volume 1 or 2 Volume 1, Number
20:27
this year where are you know I vividly remember there's that
20:31
one panel of Kamisama, kind of I do like a bowling motion and it
20:35
was where did the time? Bananas like yo, he really big
20:38
into bowling. Somebody said that he freaking
20:41
destroy Kendra Downs, Hideout back in the day and so just
20:45
start to see like that connection there that, you know,
20:50
that they met him that far back. And so basically everything
20:54
starts to converge to the school that one night.
21:03
But also while that's going on People around in the real world
21:09
basically they're no. They're saying basically, the
21:12
friend walking around and people like, you know, like what is
21:17
going on, how is he alive type of stuff?
21:21
So let me see. I'm just kind of skimming
21:25
through some of this, but But yeah so this was all just like
21:32
so surreal. The like I said like they're
21:36
going through and basically they learned that what happened in
21:39
the science lab oh there was a part that was so sweet and
21:44
wholesome Connor because things are starting to go kind of crazy
21:48
color actually. Get sent it to the game and she
21:51
ends up getting teleported right next to Kenji when he asleep on
21:55
night. And so just kind of very sweet
21:58
and wholesome, the You got to meet and see her Uncle Ken G
22:01
again by see him as a kid. So that Mama was just very sweet
22:06
and very wholesome Boehner who? So we learned that the thing
22:13
they dock you saw as a kid in the science.
22:16
Lab he saw basically the friend who more or less hung himself
22:23
but came back to life and so they The friend. your main and I
22:37
can't remember the other got to have another mask whenever
22:42
basket, the French, all them to reject donkey.
22:44
So that's why he ended up that's why he freaked out.
22:47
He jumped out of the window on the second floor.
22:48
Second floor of the school. But but yeah, so they started to
22:53
kind of come together. And basically Mahjong edge of
22:59
the game and he saw that moment, but that he also meets the
23:04
friend comes into the game, wakes him up, and then pulls him
23:10
out of the game. So, so yeah.
23:13
So, basically, that's kind of where Volume 7 for more or less
23:16
is your shizune? He is a finding his childhood
23:20
stuff at that and back in that time period.
23:23
And basically see that he remembers that his junk, Self
23:26
was trying to build a new for a new base for them.
23:31
So that was just so sweet. So awesome and just like him get
23:35
to see and reconnect with him with his younger self and then
23:39
yeah. Then the last thing was Connor
23:41
basic kind of following donkey around and kind of getting
23:44
clarification on what exactly doc you saw where he experienced
23:50
and stuff. So And it was so sweet like con
23:54
again to say, some encouraging words to donkey as his younger
23:58
self. But Yeah, so Volume 8.
24:09
We start off. With we start off in Rome Rome
24:16
2015. We meet some priest, guys, or
24:21
whatever. And see, know, the kind of get
24:24
ready to plan doing some planning and stuff for for the,
24:28
the Expo. So, This one guy, he is one of
24:36
the head priest biscuit, his mentor had passed away.
24:40
So you know they kind of wanted him to come back to the to the
24:42
chapel or whatever to take over his study to kind of help
24:46
organize and go through his notes and stuff.
24:47
Well this guy is up finding basically a basically a version
24:54
of the book of Prophecy because he finds this kind of like
24:56
unmarked book and he takes it too.
25:00
Basically, he tracks down the guy that wrote it and so we kind
25:06
of get some more back story of this priest guy.
25:09
Basically, when the head priest guy found him years ago, he was
25:14
like a thug. No, Heather tattoos on his arm,
25:16
all this stuff forever. And so There's a joke.
25:22
There was just, I just very neat, just kind of getting to
25:24
see, just like, continue to see, like a like the bigger scale of
25:29
how, what the friends are doing and how far spread their
25:34
influence is because there's one priest basically he tracks down.
25:38
Like so like like what's going on, who wrote the book or
25:41
whatever and he starts to piece things together and as he goes
25:45
back to the church and tries to tell the head guy now.
25:48
But hey, the thing, Fountain and the father's study and yada yada
25:52
yada. It's kind of just this and
25:54
there's no talking about the world not ending this year or
25:57
maybe ending 2015, yada yada yada and basket.
26:00
The head guy, pretty sky ends up being like no, hey, Shutting
26:05
this down, matter of fact you're not ready to work ahead study or
26:08
whatever and the next time the guy gets back to his room.
26:11
Hit the guys room has been cleaned out all his notes recent
26:14
everything's been cleaned out. So basically this priest got is
26:20
a more or less going on the run because he starts to notice or
26:24
he he realizes best thing. Like last minute that, you know,
26:28
That the head guy is in on what's going on, because he
26:32
remembers that the priest guy that saved him, he enjoyed
26:38
drinking wine, but can only drink white wine because he had
26:41
acts like an allergy or something to read one.
26:44
Well, so they are the head guy told him that the last thing the
26:52
priest guy said was that he can't wait to drink some red.
26:58
Wine with, or am I getting that makes up with something better?
27:02
You that's kind of like a Tipping Point of like nah, he
27:05
can't drink white wine. So anywho the guy that uses his
27:10
priest outfit and kind of makes his way to Japan.
27:16
Where he were, we get reconnected with chouno from
27:21
back in light volume, volume 3, I believe, three, four,
27:24
whatever. And so we kind of get, you know,
27:28
they start talking and connecting whatever, but it's a
27:29
language barrier, but they end up getting over that language
27:33
barrier, and basically end up realizing like, oh, hey, the
27:39
plan to assassinate the pope is still on.
27:41
So the priest guy in China work together and me. with the the
27:47
priest guy there in Japan, the children was dealing with
27:50
Viking, like volume 3 or 4 and so It was just kind of need your
27:56
scent, all this stuff kind of like starting to tie together.
27:59
As like I said, all these people are coming eight forces coming
28:02
together to basically prepare for.
28:09
For the potential of the Pope getting assassinated.
28:12
And so I really like this this panel because octo them talk
28:17
about how it was, no doubt that they saw the friend in the rain.
28:23
I really like this panel, just like so like just like so
28:26
Sinister and menacing, but yeah, chapter for arriving to truth.
28:33
But um - all the forces best you start to come together and This
28:38
whole series of the vest was so wild because they basically a
28:44
traits are. So, so basically, long story
28:48
short, the pope ends up coming to the church, whatever he is a
28:53
reconnected with his friend, which we find out that the head
28:57
priest there. In Japan he met the guy does now
29:01
the pope back when he's just regular priests kind of
29:05
traveling around and he kind of came into a bar one.
29:07
They being like, hey, I need somebody to help me.
29:10
I got a truck full of vaccine, but I can't drive the truck.
29:14
Can somebody help out or whatever?
29:16
And basically the priest guy, he was just trying to escape, you
29:21
know? Because he was kind of some
29:22
trouble whatever he's trying to escape, but he basically also
29:27
try him in the pope or the guy that ends up becoming a pope end
29:30
up becoming friends and bonding. So, you know, everybody's kind
29:35
of like, on pins and needles as the Hope is going to make his
29:38
way to the church because that's where supposedly he's going to
29:42
get assassinated. Well, that did not happen.
29:46
So the purpose of going through meeting everybody.
29:49
They become friends and stuff or that.
29:52
They they kind of like get to reconnect and stuff and the pope
29:56
leaves and nothing happens. And so while this is going on,
30:02
we see this crazy fool number 13.
30:07
Come back to the picture because of course he'll be the one
30:09
that's tasked with seemingly tasked with assassinating of the
30:14
Pope which would later find out that is not the case.
30:19
But anywho. So I said he'd like I said the
30:22
pope is are going to visit as a church nothing happens and so
30:25
everybody was like Hey job well done.
30:27
Puppet safe. You know we can relax now.
30:31
Of course, octo them are kind of like something just doesn't feel
30:36
right. and so, Things are crazy for even man.
30:41
Joan is a fully in on the loop cuz like his like his assistant
30:45
guys kind of give him the itinerary or whatever being like
30:48
yeah and so the pope is going to be here and do this and that and
30:51
that it had AA. And then measure was like wait
30:54
what? Wait, who can, who gave you this
30:58
plan, guys? Like, what you didn't ask?
31:00
So that's where the Intrigue starts.
31:04
And you start to hear about. Let me see.
31:11
Let me see, let me see yes, our children are basically gives
31:15
auction of them. Some key information saying that
31:18
any other planning on having the pulpit address, the phrase body
31:21
at the opening ceremony of the Expo.
31:24
And so that's where octodome like the worst of the turn of
31:26
like, okay? Alright they're planning
31:29
something big and even manage them is just like dumbfounded as
31:34
far as like this is going to be the greatest show of all time
31:38
and the stuff that they pull off because I'm just Skipper hated
31:41
I'll need to go through every little thing but basically, oh
31:47
and also in the background while all this is going on.
31:49
There's also been reports of guy traveling around some guy in a
31:53
suit traveling around from town to town through America place
31:58
and suitcases on the ground and leaving and then not long after
32:02
people are getting sick and stuff.
32:04
So that's planning come into play.
32:06
Why all this stuff going on in Japan at the Expo.
32:10
So, I also really appreciate how these freaking a biker gang
32:16
pulled up on the Frog. I would ever end up finding out
32:20
that that curico also gave them some vaccine and that's why
32:25
they're healthy. And so they teamed up with the
32:27
with the Frogman and they best, you're going to try to try to
32:34
Help. So, anyway, long story short,
32:37
the pope is addressing supposedly the phrase dead body
32:41
at the opening of the Expo. And so we see number 13 is up on
32:47
top of this like, thing across from the pope, and Basically,
32:56
when 13 goes to take the shot, it really isn't.
32:59
The try to kill the pope. It is to kill the friend because
33:06
right before the shot is taken, the friend comes back to life in
33:10
front of everybody. So of course, everybody's like,
33:12
oh my God, the friends alive, he's back alive and so Everybody
33:18
is distracted because of course no Connor and akshar.
33:21
They're trying to figure out. Okay, we're starting we're
33:23
starting. Where's he at?
33:24
Where's he going to snipe from? Well, the friend cause like
33:28
alive. So, that gets their attention
33:30
and then everybody's scrambling freaking out or whatever.
33:35
And then 13 takes the shot and the friend.
33:43
Similarly jumps in front of the bullet to protect the pope and
33:48
pretty much. They realize that all of us
33:54
there were watching the man who saved the Pope's Life by taking
33:57
a bullet. I'll never forget what Uncle Ox
34:00
knows. Whisper.
34:02
Just then. He's gone Way Beyond sainthood,
34:07
the bastards going to become a God.
34:11
And so that's basically what happened because and this is
34:16
like what like what like the greatest games in history
34:20
because the friend is supposedly dad and the Hugh come back to
34:24
life. Now did you come back to life
34:28
but you can make the light to save the Pope's life in front of
34:33
the world. And so In This Moment, the
34:37
fraying pretty much a sins to like that's a godhood and And
34:46
yeah, so pretty much things going to effect. and, Yeah, he's
34:57
going to affect from there. And then afterwards.
35:00
After, you know, the friend recovers and yada yada yada, and
35:03
the world sees his back alive. He has a meeting with his little
35:07
group and basically says that pretty much everything is in
35:10
order. We're just waiting for a phone
35:12
call and the phone rang and he picks it up and he says, there
35:17
it is. And then he said, right then all
35:23
around the world. There were sightings of salesman
35:27
dressed in suits, with gas masks on their faces, and we see the
35:33
suitcase bestowed on the ground. It opening up a Mist spraying
35:38
creating a rainbow and then we just get like a dark page thing
35:42
and then the world as we knew it ended Wow.
35:49
And that was only halfway through volume 8 because we see
35:55
because then we get another we get a 3 year time Jump.
35:58
Tell your three of the Friendship error and so once
36:03
again we are wondering what is going on.
36:08
Where is everybody? Because of course another three
36:10
years of past so everybody's getting older and stuff whatever
36:13
everybody's been dispersed doing anything whatever and so Asking
36:17
the back half of this volume. We kind of get more insight into
36:20
fukube aka the friend and his childhood growing up whatever to
36:24
where, you know, basically he kept longing to be a part of
36:28
Kenji them's group. So Marcel to where he was like,
36:32
hey, you guys want to come over to my house, I have all this
36:34
manga yada yada yada, and so, basically these several
36:37
chapters, I'm gonna go through all of them.
36:38
Basically, it is just ham, basically trying to be cool and
36:42
impressed Kenji them. And basically, nobody is paying
36:45
attention, and we also learned that he is the one that, you
36:49
know, That. That poor the whole stunt at the
36:58
House, on Haunted Hill, that whole incident was him.
37:03
And Him acid Akio. So basically like to just like
37:09
backgrounds, like, when hence, the dockyard first met, how they
37:14
learned about the book of Prophecy and the how they kind
37:16
of scheme to come up with their own thing.
37:19
And so while that's going on or you know like so we get all that
37:22
flashback, whatever of him trying to figure out who he is,
37:25
what he wants to be and stuff. And like I say, eventually ends
37:28
up meeting manager home and kind of starting the beginning of
37:32
their relationship and Yeah, so then we kind of see this
37:41
freaking crazy ominous tower that they didn't built for the
37:46
friend and it is just so freaking wild as we see like all
37:54
these various like kind of like quarantine zones and stuff as we
37:57
follow this little boy and a little girl who basically they
38:03
end we and they end up connecting with October.
38:05
His little boy end up finding octo, and when he was in
38:10
trouble, and basically, she's been hiding out in their shed, a
38:13
little boys, been feeding him. And then the sister is a finding
38:16
out eventually, and then they end up working together to know,
38:20
both try to heal Akio, and then try to help him figure out
38:25
what's going on. Because the girl, it's hard to
38:28
tell how old she is. Because she looks like a small
38:31
child, but she has a job. So because the mom has a hey No,
38:35
cuz the little brother going to school, she's going to work.
38:38
So it's like how old are you? So maybe next time they'll tell
38:42
us what how she is Benny who they end up in a situation to
38:48
where they you know they're working together.
38:53
They're piecing together stuff. Oxygen is kind of like feeling
38:56
them anyway okay what's going on and stuff and therefore the him
38:59
and on this is a list of the Dave known.
39:02
And so basically they the the kids they A TV in their house
39:06
and so they told that's not cocked on the house one night or
39:11
whatever and basically it was late at night and then they were
39:14
like hey you know it's getting late at this time of night we're
39:17
supposed to turn the TV's off whatever.
39:19
So basically they decide to leave the TV on or whatever and
39:22
there's like a cryptic message basically, like of like a like a
39:26
revolution happening or whatever.
39:28
And so, So yeah, so they end up hearing that then the TV breaks
39:34
the next day and so they use that as a reason to try to get
39:38
octo out of their house or you know, away secretly whatever.
39:42
So their mom agrees to let them take the TV to a repair shop
39:46
freaking to out a two-hour walk away which is wild.
39:49
But anywho through all of this, we learn that the TV thing,
39:56
there's some type of like resistance message going on, but
40:00
They use that as a way to trap people, because any time a TV is
40:05
broken. They have to bring it to this
40:07
one District of town to get fixed.
40:11
And then that's where the friends them catch people
40:15
because they can, you come to know why your teeth were broken.
40:19
Oh, did you hear anything weird on the TV last night?
40:21
Do you have it on after hours? All that type of stuff and so,
40:27
yeah, so they kind of like start to discover all that.
40:30
Tough. And so, You know, they're kind
40:32
of getting more stuff piece together.
40:39
Octo lies about some Global Defense Force, ray gun thing.
40:45
They're trying to build once again stuff from the book of
40:49
Prophecy from when they were kids and so yeah.
40:53
So right now, October and the kids are on the run and they end
40:57
up at a bowling alley where who do they meet Kamisama.
41:06
Now Kamisama tells them or tells Ock show that he had a dream
41:12
that they will meet each other again.
41:15
But the thing about here's our his dreams that he never knows
41:19
like concrete information all the time, whatever.
41:22
So he never knew when they were going to show up, he just knew
41:25
the Octo is going to show up at the ballot at the bar at that
41:27
bowling alley someday. And so he just been there
41:31
waiting every day. And yeah, as I've asked me like
41:37
some kind of start to piece things together.
41:40
And so, coming summer, basically tells octave like, hey, for the
41:45
first time ever. I'm not having dreams of the
41:49
future anymore and he's saying that basically could that just
41:54
be because, you know, I'm about to the world about to end.
41:58
Like there is no future to dream of type of thing.
42:01
So, yeah. And that's kind of where volume
42:04
a kind of leaves us now. One of the cool thing we also
42:14
saw because we also hear heard Rumblings because we're in
42:18
Oxford, is talking to the little girl about like what's going on
42:20
in the world. You know, she was telling him to
42:22
like there's talks of like a resistance building up by a
42:26
young lady who supposedly has psychic powers.
42:32
She is cold-hearted ruthless, all the stuff, whatever.
42:37
And Similarly, that's probably Carter.
42:39
And so I can't wait to see Kane again.
42:41
Because like I said, it's been three more years.
42:44
So she's older and stuff whatever.
42:47
But, you know, it is just like the wheels are turning.
42:53
You know, things are kind of spiraled out of control because
42:58
once again, you know, they kind of failed to prevent another
43:02
disaster. And so now here we are with
43:05
basically the world has ended again.
43:07
Because they kind of stopped the thing in the year 2000.
43:12
And they had a dispersing regroup over the years, they
43:15
kind of came out together. And once again, they failed to
43:19
foresee everything and now, you know, The Fringe is to send it
43:24
to a whole nother level of power.
43:28
So, yeah. So I'm very excited to see what
43:32
Khan is up to find out more about the friend and his
43:37
Revival. Esther.
43:39
If you know it's going to be crazy and go freaking manage
43:43
home on the cover of volume 9. So with that, It is always a
43:53
wild ride with these with these volumes like this, especially
43:56
with both of them. But I hope that y'all are
43:59
enjoying going on this journey with me as much as I am, you
44:04

44:08
continue on to see what Mash'Em has in store for us.
44:16
Let me just let me just take a look.
