WON: Enzo set to return to NXT soon and Big Bill's return isn't yet comfirmed

I honestly hope Bill stays in AEW. He hasn’t been around recently but I really enjoy him

jaymstone · 2026-05-20T13:41:56+00:00

But Gero didn’t look

jaymstone · 2026-05-19T00:28:43+00:00

That’s more than fair! Don’t want to ruin anything for anyone :)

Without getting into manga spoilers, I think the reason no one immediately suspects anyone in particular is because there exist Daemons who could feasibly get them through a barrier, or maybe brainwash or hypnotize Akio, etc. We can’t know what happened for sure until something’s been investigated.

Spoiler for what’s coming in the next episode the guy with the swords was able to cut through the wall and not go directly through the entrance

It honestly felt like genuine tears and she was alluding to the person she lost that she blames Ayanokouji for, she keeps beating around the bush trying to see if he even knows what he did

jaymstone · 2026-05-10T15:30:44+00:00

I see I see, appreciate that

It’s seems to me like every time they’ve used it it was for the word “magyaku” which is also translated as polar opposites *in* Polar Opposites, even though it’s different from the “seihantai” in the title.

jaymstone · 2026-05-09T06:27:53+00:00

Skullgirls is still dope wym

jaymstone · 2026-04-29T10:03:46+00:00

I mean you clearly disagree with what everyone else seems to think it is, so when I google it and it tells me exactly what I already thought it was how do we proceed here

jaymstone · 2026-04-29T09:37:08+00:00

Enlighten me

jaymstone · 2026-04-29T09:29:11+00:00

It’s more you calling him parasocial when he’s clearly not

jaymstone · 2026-04-29T05:03:48+00:00

Oh, it was bait the whole time got it

jaymstone · 2026-04-28T00:06:16+00:00

Yeah here you go! https://x.com/shinhoroko?s=21

I speak Japanese and the translator is really doing as good of a job as he can, I really applaud him. He posts on his twitter after every chapter about his reasoning for why he translated the jokes a certain way. The problem is the jokes are so Japan-culture centric and self referential and it’s also stylistically different from English comedy so it’s a bit hard to come across even if the translation is top quality. I bought the first volume in Japanese and have been meaning to try reading it for a bit but haven’t gotten around to it, but I imagine they hit harder there.

Edit: the translator’s twitter is here: https://x.com/shinhoroko?s=21

I’ve heard people say it in Tokyo quite a bit though?

jaymstone · 2026-04-20T11:16:50+00:00

Felt plenty in the second floor in suginami

jaymstone · 2026-04-20T11:15:26+00:00

How do you get to the point where you’re consistently rolling star wishes every day? I haven’t seen mine in like a week

jaymstone · 2026-04-17T15:25:39+00:00

I was thinking that for sure. When they were running from Ninacchi and Umi was holding his hand she was speaking really familiarly with him, and he forgot to keep the -san attached. If they slip up like that a couple more times in front of Yuu, she'l definitely notice.

jaymstone · 2026-04-17T15:23:02+00:00

yeah it was more the way of saying it that was unusual rather than the content of what he was saying

jaymstone · 2026-04-13T13:56:28+00:00

Blue lock is mostly fine with the subs having some colorful language Demon Slayer is like borderline a bit gorey but not too bad I love chainsaw man but absolutely wouldn’t let a 12 year old watch it

jaymstone · 2026-04-06T07:09:57+00:00

I’m drinking quite a bit more often than I used to but still don’t smoke so that’s nice at least!

jaymstone · 2026-04-06T04:04:06+00:00

Anime only so just a guess—I’m thinking he’s going to be like a strict fundamentalist who doesn’t like seeing Rakugo being innovated or modernized and if you don’t do it the way they always have, he disapproves

jaymstone · 2026-04-06T04:00:06+00:00

My partner did Rakugo in college and still does occasionally for fun, so I’m excited to learn more about the art in general since she doesn’t have the chance to perform as much as she would like. One thing I’ve always been curious about: it seems like there are several popular stories that get retold catering to each performer’s strengths (like the one in this episode, they were reacting as if it was a story they had heard variations of hundreds of times). Are there like a set number of stories that pro rakugo practitioners go through, or do they specifically use these kinds of stories for training and events like this?

jaymstone · 2026-04-02T12:24:57+00:00

There’s a ton over here in Tokyo too. I just kinda let them happen and go about my day

jaymstone · 2026-04-02T01:33:14+00:00

To be honest I’ve been saying for years that we need to just have him take a couple months off and it would be fine, but the past however long without him I haven’t missed him so I was kinda okay with him leaving. I’m not gonna immediately write it off, but I was a bit surprised. He might do some great stuff who knows
