Episode Summary Black Clover is back! The manga returned this month and the story picked up right where it left off. Asta and Yuno continue their battle with Luscious and his clones. The Black Bulls, who recently received some of Asta's anti-magic, jumped into the battle too with Luck and Magna teaming up to take down a clone Luscious. With Black Clover joining Jump Giga and releasing quarterly, we had a lot to speculate on. Topics include, whether Lucius will revive more characters for arch angels, if Acier and Morgen can be resurrected, and what roles the Black Bulls will play in this final fight.

Finally, One Piece's Egg Head arc is continuing its great run with Kuma's flashback. As the events of his and Bonney's shared histories reach closer to the conclusion, how will the new information we learned be included in the present events on Egg Head Island?

Episode Summary One Piece, the long-running global hit anime, is the first in the genre to crossover with the National Football League. On Sunday, December 3, at 1:25 PM PT, the Los Angeles Rams held a special collaboration with the iconic Japanese anime One Piece during their game against the Cleveland Browns at SoFi Stadium. In celebration of this momentous event, we turned to the random anime generator to cycle through some fan-favorite anime characters to see which positions they would play on a football team. We were even able to give some comparisons to some former and current NFL greats. Check out this episode to see where characters like One Piece's Zoro, Hunter x Hunter's Gon, and Black Clover's Asta would fit in on the gridiron. What anime characters did we leave off this list and what positions do you think they'd play? Follow us on social media and let us know!

* SPOILER WARNING * We're back with another Shonen Heat Week! My Hero Academia is on a break, so in this episode, we covered chapter 238 of Jujutsu Kaisen and chapter 1094 of One Piece. The battle between Sukuna and Kashimo reaches a conclusion and we already have two more fights on the horizon. While Sukuna displayed some incredible power, the real conflict came from the philosophy of the two fighters. Meanwhile, in One Piece, the Strawhats are confronted by the most powerful enemy they've ever faced - a member of the Five Elder Stars, St. Garcia Saturn!

Episode Summary * Spoiler Warning * We're back with Shonen Heat Week! One Piece is on a break this week, so we reviewed Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 237 and My Hero Academia chapter 402. Following the defeat of Gojo, we pick up right where we left off in Jujutsu Kaisen as the battle between Sukuna and Kashimo begins. Both these fighters, once viewed as the strongest of their time, clash in philosophies and use special one-use techniques that will make this fight more interesting. Taking a page out of Jujutsu Kaisen's book, Chapter 402 of My Hero Academia features the presumed death of a beloved character. Ironically, a manga chapter filled with callbacks back to chapter 0 left us considering the future.

Episode Summary *Spoiler Warning* This is definitely the saddest Shonen Heat Week we've done. In Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 236 we bid farewell to a fan-favorite character. But is he truly gone? Next in My Hero Academia chapter 401 the fight between All for One and All Might has all but concluded. The former number-one hero has given his all, but was it enough to stop All for One from reaching Shigaraki? Finally, in One Piece the battle between Luffy and Kizaru rages on. However, once the tides of change start to swing in the Strawhat Pirates' fortune, a force we've long awaited begins to make his move. Which one of these chapters was your favorite?

Episode Summary *SPOILER WARNING* We're back with Shonen Heat Week! Jujutsu Kaisen is on a break, but since we missed last week we had to touch on what happened in chapter 235. The battle between Gojo and Sukuna has concluded and Gojo is HIM! In this episode, we explore the latest developments in "My Hero Academia" with Chapter 400. Aoyama and Hagakure's fight concludes with the former making a stunning declaration. All for One and All Might's fight continues as All Might displays more Class 1A quirks in his armor. Things take a turn when an unexpected ally joins the fight.  Then, we set sail with the Strawhat Pirates for chapter 1092 of One Piece Chapter. Akainu confronts Kuma in the Holy Land and Luffy continues to battle with Kizaru. The admiral was able to contend with Snake Man and make his way to the crew and VegaPunks, which recently cracked York's code, but how will he fair against Gear 5?  How will the fight between All Might and All for One end?

Episode Summary Fans have mixed reactions to the ending of Naruto, specifically the Fourth Great Shinobi World War. One of the most significant factors of the war was Kabuto's use of the Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation aka edo tensei. Characters like Asuma, Nagato, Itachi, and Madara came back to life in the war along with many other powerful friends and foes. However, there were some characters that could have been brought back but weren't. In this episode, we talk about some characters that could have been summoned with edo tensie and the impact they'd have on the show like Fugaku Uchiha, Kisame Hoshigaki, Sakumo Hatake, and more. Which characters did you want to see get brought back into the war?

Yu-Gi-Oh! is not only a great manga and anime but also one of the best trading card games to ever exist. In this episode, newcomer and long-time dueler Justin joined us to go over the show, the card game, and more. We went over the differences between the anime's dub and sub, our favorite duels, and characters, as well as reliving some of our own iconic duels. We also took some time to talk about "season zero" and how it gave the King of Games to really live up to his title. Do you still collect Yu-Gi-Oh! cards? Which duels were your favorite?

Summary Gotham Knights joins a long list of Batman shows that don't center around the Dark Knight. The upcoming CW show features Bruce's newest adopted son, Turner Hayes, teaming up with the children of Batman's enemies after Turner is framed for Bruce's murder. We have a lot of complaints about the show based on the trailer and synopsis. This includes dragging two underutilized Robins and some very obscure characters into the show. Even if Gotham Knights the game flops (no relation) there's no way it can be worse than the upcoming show...right? Are you looking forward to Gotham Knights? Follow us on social and let us know!

Summary Dr. Strange: Multiverse of Madness and What If were two Marvel properties that gave us deep dives into the multiverse. With both of these now streaming on Disney+ we thought it was time to review the Dr. Strange sequel, but with a twist. Rather than a standard review, we looked into different timelines, or universes depending on what explanation you follow, and see how things played out for them. Where do you rank Dr. Strange: Multiverse of Madness?

Summary With the return of Hunter x Hunter, we couldn't think of a better time to return to our anime duo series. Gon and Killua are the two Hunter x Hunter protagonists we spend the most time with and they arguably have the best friendship in anime. From their bright beginnings to them going their separate ways at the end of the anime, we cover their friendship from start to finish. We also took some time to discuss the duo's future in future Hunter x Hunter chapters and other great Togashi duos. Are you excited for the return of Hunter x Hunter? Can you name a better anime duo than Gon and Killua? Let us know in the comments!

Summary Since debuting in summer of 1999, SpongeBob SquarePants quickly cemented himself as an icon. After decades of airing the hit show has spawned numerous movies, spin-offs, memes, theories, and other contributions to pop culture.

Summary We all know characters that never lived up to the hype. Anime characters disrespected by their writers isn't anything new. Foreshadowing and hidden potential had you waiting for them to break out, but it just never happened. And why? Because the writer said so, that's why. The characters we discussed in this episode have every reason to be great, but for one reason or another, their stories never quite ended up with them feeling fully realized. Did we leave any disrespected characters off the list? Let us know!
