Yes, sir, I do now. I&#8217;m assuming you remember<br \/>\nwhere we left off the last season, right? absolutely do Oh. That is, actually it&#8217;s probably fine. And so anyway, now for me<br \/>\nis going to be flying on, island to this place on the right, which is like,<br \/>\nnot Japan, definitely not Japan. is he doing Well, then last season, Raffaele or awesome,<br \/>\nyou know, red and white robes. And so, you know, clearly<br \/>\nthat means only one thing. She wants to be the emperor of a place<br \/>\nshe&#8217;s literally never heard of before. And so now he&#8217;s going to this place<br \/>\nbuilt of that. Right. Because it&#8217;s the only place<br \/>\nwith trading ships to not Japan. he&#8217;s going to arrive in Tibet,<br \/>\nand then he&#8217;s going to book a ship. And, you know, we&#8217;ll probably be<br \/>\nin and out in like one episode, right? well, you know,<br \/>\nnot quite because, you know, still to that is like,<br \/>\nit&#8217;s like founded by a previous CEO there. So they worship him<br \/>\nas like a god there. Right. So and he&#8217;s pretty much the king as well. So he&#8217;s going to arrive,<br \/>\nhave some pomp and circumstance and then he&#8217;ll get to the ship. So probably around two episodes Try six. that&#8217;s like half the Exactly. worry that spending so much time<br \/>\non this side quest will make the actual, you know, important part of the season<br \/>\nfeel Never even crossed my mind. So then anyway, now<br \/>\nif he&#8217;s going to arrive and sort of that and everyone is just so happy to see him. well, you know, he must like He will hate<br \/>\nevery single moment of it. Especially the part<br \/>\nwhere all the nobles send their, you know, young daughters to him<br \/>\nwhile he&#8217;s in the back. no. How is he going to fix<br \/>\nsuch a precarious situation? Well, he&#8217;s the shield hero. So he use this shield. he&#8217;s going to. Oh, oh I see okay. I guess if you do if that was your goal<br \/>\nthen yeah you should definitely And then we&#8217;re going to meet this line<br \/>\nguy guides Lewis right. What&#8217;s this guy who&#8217;s lying? So. What&#8217;s this Rory guy like? Well, you have the white Tiger siblings<br \/>\nfor an outlet, right? Because, you know,<br \/>\nhe killed their father. that is just so not No. It&#8217;s none. So then anyway, after now,<br \/>\nif he survives the poisoning attempt. Who tried to poison the shield? Hero in broad None board because he had<br \/>\nthe antidote ready to go for everyone. how did he know to do that? Oh, yeah.<br \/>\nI should have mentioned. At the start of the season,<br \/>\nwe find out the Queen of millionaire I gave now for me, the script<br \/>\nfor this part of the show. gotcha. Yeah, that. That would do And so anyway,<br \/>\nnow if we decide that Geralt was probably did these things,<br \/>\nso he&#8217;s going to suggest a duel with him. how does that go? Well, for now,<br \/>\nthey&#8217;re going to fight him. And foal decides<br \/>\nthat it&#8217;s time to level up. and how are we going to show<br \/>\nWe&#8217;ll get this. The white tiger is going to turn<br \/>\ninto a frickin white tiger. And so,<br \/>\nyou know, he&#8217;s going to smack Jamal&#8217;s to the ground over the course of,<br \/>\ntwo episodes. you say two episodes? And so then after he&#8217;s won the fight,<br \/>\nhe can actually go to Not Japan. Now. wait,<br \/>\nwas that the condition of the duel? I thought he just wanted<br \/>\nto, you know, bring justice. Who is would be Apparently. And so he was going to take, like,<br \/>\nall the main characters and all the side characters on the ship<br \/>\nthere. Right? But there&#8217;s a problem. not Japan sent assassins to kill now<br \/>\nfor me and all his crew before they manage to land there. And you know their previous all hero<br \/>\nmagic. no. If the heroes can&#8217;t attack them,<br \/>\nthen what can they possibly do against this foe?<br \/>\nBy jumping off the side of a ship. I guess that is that is one strategy. it does end up working out, though,<br \/>\nbecause, you know, retaliates Dina. Now for me and you know, Guy Island,<br \/>\nthey actually end up on the shores of not Japan<br \/>\nthanks to the Water Dragon. wait, wait,<br \/>\nwhat&#8217;s this about a water dragon? Oh, the Water Dragon is like the,<br \/>\nyou know, the protector of, not Japan. And, you know, it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s it&#8217;s<br \/>\nit&#8217;s it&#8217;s a mystical beast that&#8217;s going to communicate several times<br \/>\nnon-verbally with the characters. it&#8217;s just something that drives the plot<br \/>\nEssentially, yes. And so then it&#8217;s going to tell them<br \/>\nthrough this classic non-verbal communication style that, you know,<br \/>\nthey got to destroy this lighthouse to, to remove the barrier that stops anyone<br \/>\nfrom landing on the island so that, you know,<br \/>\ntheir friends can land on the island. If no one could get in. And how did now for me<br \/>\nin, like, half his crew get Because. You know what that works. Great. And so anyway,<br \/>\nthey need to take out a lighthouse, right. And the people guarding it as well Fighting people who have an immunity<br \/>\nto all hero power. Sounds like that&#8217;ll be actually see it.<br \/>\nFor example, an annoyance. really? Yeah. Because this guy who now from he&#8217;s only<br \/>\nmet a hole one time gives him a shield that allows him to, you know, fights<br \/>\npeople who he&#8217;s not supposed to fight. does that mean they successfully destroy<br \/>\nthe lighthouse in the They do. And their friends all arrive, and<br \/>\nit&#8217;s like a happy reunion sort of thing. Right? now that they&#8217;re all in the country,<br \/>\ndoes that mean they&#8217;re finally going to go to the Emperor<br \/>\nand try to convince them that, you know,<br \/>\nhow are you putting on the white and red robes<br \/>\nwith really just the misunderstanding? Oh, no. Ref Talia is fully set<br \/>\non becoming emperor of the country. Now. sorry. I must have missed that. When did that giant change in the plot<br \/>\nOh, that was always happening. was always going to happen,<br \/>\nthen why not just have it as though she wanted the throne from the Because I&#8217;m not going to rewrite<br \/>\nwhat I&#8217;ve already written. And so anyway, then we have Talia,<br \/>\nand the army is going to, you know, go to this old, old capital or Talia<br \/>\nis going to get some vague emperor powers. they meet any armies along the way,<br \/>\nbecause surely they would. You Oh, no. Despite the fact that there is,<br \/>\nyou know, supposedly an imperial army, we will never, ever, ever see them. And we&#8217;re only ever going to meet its<br \/>\ncommander, this lady Schuldiner, right? I&#8217;m a little bummed about the fact<br \/>\nthere&#8217;s no army. But you know, what&#8217;s this new girl Well,<br \/>\nshe&#8217;s going to look a lot like Sardinia. a second. She looks similar.<br \/>\nAnd her name is similar. That&#8217;s anime logic, for<br \/>\nthey must be Oh, dang it. How did you guess my crazy plot twist? Yes, she is sardine, his little sister.<br \/>\nAnd you know what? She&#8217;s also going to challenge<br \/>\nher older sister to a duel. how does that Well, since she hasn&#8217;t had<br \/>\nmuch screen time up until now, Sardinia decides that, you know, for this one<br \/>\nscene, she is just completely unkillable. if she&#8217;s all powerful and well again, shielding are going<br \/>\nWell, she&#8217;s going to summon the soul of a previous emperor<br \/>\ninto her body, right? So, you know, we have kind of<br \/>\nlike a final boss for Talia to fight. have what unjust so many Oh, don&#8217;t think about it too much,<br \/>\nor you will go crazy. But anyway, the point is that this, this older emperor<br \/>\nis going to look exactly like Raph Talia. Except she&#8217;s got red lips and carries<br \/>\na giant sledgehammer. final fight with two people who share<br \/>\nthe exact same powers and even look alike. Now, where have I seen this before? Oh, right. Everywhere. Shut up! I was stuck for a way to end it. I mean, the current emperor<br \/>\nis literally like, just a child. could have had the Emperor&#8217;s imperial army<br \/>\nfight reptilians, rebellion army. You know, like a real civil war. Oh, I&#8217;m begging you, please shut up. And so anyway, then evil finally<br \/>\nis going to decide that she can fly. Now. And also she&#8217;s going to go<br \/>\nexplore the capital. what reason is Oh, some vague reason<br \/>\nthat&#8217;s not important. And all the important thing is that,<br \/>\nyou know, the final fight<br \/>\nis going to take place in the capital. Now. Like. Yeah. So how does the actual final fight Well, I mean, Ralph Tai swings her sword<br \/>\nand makes a couple of funny colors. And, you know, evil<br \/>\nretaliate is the same with her hammer. And, you know, eventually it&#8217;s just over. that that seemed rather<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s because it was. And, you know, evil reptilians decided that Raph is a worthy successor<br \/>\nto the throne of not Japan. wait. Is that what this fight was about? The evil emperor didn&#8217;t just spawn in and decide<br \/>\nto randomly start destroying Apparently. And so, you know, ref, tally is like,<br \/>\nyou know, the emperor of a country now. And anyway,<br \/>\nthen we&#8217;re going to get to the spear era. right. There are. There are at least three other heroes<br \/>\nin this thing, aren&#8217;t Oh, yeah. He&#8217;s undergone<br \/>\na lot of character development off screen. And, you know,<br \/>\nhe wears, like, this fancy armor. Now. He&#8217;s got a lot of new spells. He&#8217;s got follow liaise with him. And, you know, he kills the evil princess. just kills one of the most central<br \/>\nvillains of the entire plot in just one random scene, without any<br \/>\nIt does seem that way, though. Maybe he doesn&#8217;t really kill her because, you know,<br \/>\nthere&#8217;s something about, you know, maybe he didn&#8217;t,<br \/>\nyou know, destroy her soul or something. And there&#8217;s going to be,<br \/>\nlike, a little twitch at the end. It&#8217;s probably not important, though. I have questions. Good. So then we&#8217;re going to end the season<br \/>\non, like, some happy, fun time memories kind of thing where everyone&#8217;s back<br \/>\nin the village and they&#8217;re all so happy. I&#8217;m glad to see the happy people<br \/>\ndoing the happy things are Right before we show<br \/>\nthe teasers is how season five is going to be crazy and horrific enough,<br \/>\nand he&#8217;s going to have blood all over him. He&#8217;s going to like this. Oh, my gosh,<br \/>\nthat is just such a giant jump. And also a little Exactly, which is why<br \/>\nI think we should have it as the main image of just, you know,<br \/>\nevery single article about this show. think that might be a bit scary? I mean, considering that it&#8217;s<br \/>\ngoing to be a picture of now for me, covered in blood,<br \/>\nnot to mention spoilery. If people are just randomly wandering these websites<br \/>\nand haven&#8217;t seen the season yet. Let me think about that. No. okay, that. Hey guys. Anyway, pinch me here.
