This guy is sus. This TOPS guy should be sus but isn’t?! We’re talking 2.0’s story, current events, and maybe a little bit of a rant.

Spoiler Warning! We start discussing the 2.0 plot at 22:10, we stop at 46:58.

Take this with a grain of sand, but 2.0 is a whole different ball-game.

Eric and Brian discuss everything in 2.0 except the story (spoiler-free, baby!) - Yixuan, Suibien, Waifei, no way! S-Rank selectors, current events, and rupture, amidst other tangents.

Also, you can check Ju Fufu’s kit, just open the pause menu when you use her during the story. Our bad, y’all!

[Character Name] got robbed!

Curious about our deeper takes on each character, flip on back to episode 22. Listen as we wallow in the exhaustion that comes from talking for, like, over an hour. We dive back into our end-of-season knockout, working through the winners and loser's brackets to crown the objectively* best characters of ZZZ season 1!

*All decisions are wholly, entirely, completely subjective and should not be taken as fact for any reason.

It's our Season 1 end-of-season spectacular! We're celebrating the only way we know how:  by ruthlessly, and with increasingly flawed logic, winnowing down Season 1's S-Rank Agents to find out who is number 1 (and 2, and 3).

This is part 1 of our knockout bracket, the finale will be out for our regularly scheduled next episode on 5/29.

Also, all rankings are completely subjective and that Eric and Brian are, objectively, morons... with poor tastes.

We'll see you for part 2, releasing 5/29!

Hugo's been plotting and so has Brian's cat. Just let us record, Mewgo Vlad!

Season one of ZZZ is coming to a close and we're excited to talk through its denouement! We're discussing Vivian, Vlad's story, Yixuan's agent teaser, and how the story's been put together to be put together.

Spoiler Warning: We discuss the newest story beats from 23:05 until, like, 43 minutes. Honestly, play the new story first, y'all, it's really good.
