First halfish of this episode uses our audio backup so it's a bit lower quality than usual. But not a big deal. Sorry!

Welcome to Media Club Plus: a podcast about diving into the media that interests us and the stories that excite us.

Bad vibes all around! Does Gon Freecss become the least shounen protagonist of all time? Or the most? And how long can Pouf and Youpi hope to keep Meruem away from Komugi, or even from merely her name? Or the word Gungi? And what's with all this blood? Hey was something up with that bomb?

Thanks to Austin for joining us on a doozey of an episode he asked to be on almost as far back as the show's conception.

This week we cover episodes 131-133, titled Anger x and x Light, FLash x and x Start, and Deadline x to x Live. Next episode we'll be covering episodes 134-136, titled The Word x Is x You, This Person x And x This Moment, and Homecoming x And x True Name.
