Dabi finally revealed his long-orchestrated plan to take down the hero-worshipping society in My Hero Academia! How will the #1 Hero bounce back when his past is on full display? Plus, this week's episode of Chainsaw Man sees Power and Denji enter rigorous training in the wake of last week's destruction...but will they survive?

Chainsaw Man episode nine follows up on last week's mass execution event with some seriously scary revelations about Makima. Kobeni also gets a chance to show off when the chips are down. Also: why it's important to wear pants on live stream, a very important reprint, and the top-selling manga of 2022!

Lynzee and James discuss the wild rollercoaster that is Chainsaw Man episode 8. Does Denji do the deed with Himeno? Will Denji ever get the taste of vomit out of his mouth? Are all the Devil Hunters' lives in danger? Plus, reactions to the new Super Mario Bros movie trailer, a secret fan art stash, and the foul-mouthed maids of Akiba Maid War play a regular ol' game of baseball. No crass or crazy shenanigans here!

Chainsaw Man has plenty of blood, guts, and monsters but it might be barf that tops its gross-out moments! Why can't Denji ever get break? James and Lynzee discuss the newest episode, the coolest moments at Anime NYC, and the return of Gundam: The Witch from Mercury.

Denji and Co are still stuck on the 8th floor as they confront a new devil. Let's discuss the latest episode of Chainsaw Man, Lynzee's tips on preparing for convention travel, The Game Awards, Fujimoto's run in with Twitter, Attack on Titan news, the Ghibli x Star Wars crossover, and more!
