NOTIFICATION: On paper, I think this might be the single most action packed Abroad in Japan episode ever made. We certainly ended Journey Across Japan with a thud. Literally - goodbye ear. It's now healed fortunately but it took 6 long weeks of hell to get there. Still it was a blast at sea and a lot of fun watching Ryotaro and Natsuki battle it out once and for all! I hope you enjoyed the series guys!
Even though I read this before watching this scene, I started to laugh so hard after Natsukis line that I felt choking... As a matter of fact it happened twice as I watched this episode a second time. I would love to have that "Go f**k yourself" line as a message sound on my phone. Is it available somewhere, if someone would know?
I often wonder if Natsuki ever wonders about the weird life divergence he's found himself on for the last decade or so all from saying Hello to some random foreigner he passed by on the street.
@@ary5829 Yeah, he said years ago on some q&a video that they met on the street while drunk because Natsuki just came and talked to him because he was a foreigner.
Funny how those things happen. Met my first Japanese buddy by randomly calling up some Japanese office in my region asking for assistance with a translation. He was super helpful and we started hanging after that. Ended up in Japan to visit the many friends I gained after meeting him.
I am Japanese. Many foreign tourists will come to Okinawa because of the removal of immigration restrictions in Japan. I want people from all over the world to know the beautiful sea of Okinawa. Thank you for introducing it.
I want to visit Japan again for three to six months next year. I love your culture and your food and I hope Japanese people won't be sceptical of tourists. Hopefully I can go to Okinawa as well! :) I wish you all the best. ^_^
Legitimately so impressed by Chris, who took to the skies despite being terrified, something I'd just outright refuse, and then braving on with severe pain in his ear, still remaining his cheerfully snarky self. Edit: He even kills himself, what a guy
The fated fight between Ryotaro and Natsuki and Chris's eardrum taking a hit, this is quite the chaotic episode. On another note congratulations Chris on completing yet another season of Journey Across Japan! But seriously, Taken for Garnted, when?
I love that for all Chris's persona of complaining and being angry, when things actually go wrong you can tell he remains relatively calm and even humored throughout
I had a manager once who came in every day yelling, swearing and throwing pots and pans around. And that's how you knew everything was fine. Because if someone actually did screw up, he was calm, cool-headed and soft-spoken. I actually really liked that management style!
@@thebeastfromeast69 kinda, except more jovial. It was a nice restaurant, so it was a busy, high pressure environment, and it was important to keep up the energy.
I am so sorry you broke your ear! Hope you're doing better. Your editing goes from strength to strength - this one was amazing, absolute gold😄 Hope we see more JAJ and the whole gang together again, take care!
I love the part where Chris stops the fight and says "Maybe the real Abroad in Japan are the friends that we made along the way" and flew off into the sunset. Truly one of the Journey Across Japan
The Hells Angels, the Comanchero motorcycle club and the Aussie Cartel heads are having talks while you are reading this about their growth in Australia and in Asia. Exterminating The Yakusa presence and their activities in the country would be considerably profitable for the Hells Angels, the Comanchero motorcycle club and the Aussie Cartel. The goal is to initiate their expansion over the Yakusa in Australia and to push it as far as in Japan. According to their plans, they are and will be supported by the Sinaloa Cartel for a part of the gains obtained and it would be done by the end of 2023. They told their mens to prioritize the capture, mostly for torture and interrogation before killing and for selling but to kill right away if they can not capture. This is what members having close ties with Hells Angels chapter leaders are talking about. Some members of the Hells Angels and of the Sinaloa Cartel had already start moving to Australia. The mens had been told to get the job done by any means, even by mass killing if needed. If you are directly involved let your comrades know so you can be prepared for what is happening before it is too late to prevent the bloodbath and your fall!
That fight choreography was fantastic! I cant wait for the sequel where Ryotaro and Natsuki return as cyborgs, destined to fight once again to determine once and for all who is Chris' best friend.
After a year and a half of saving up for when finally japan opens up, finally bought the plane tickets yesterday for a month of vacation and my very own private journey across japan from hokkaido to yakushima and I just want to express a one huge thank you for the year and half of inspiration and motivation that you've given me.
Thats crazy, I booked my plane 2 weeks ago and plan to do the same thing! From Sapporo to at least Hiroshima, but hopefully Kagoshima as well. Enjoy your trip!
@DatAckee @Dominik Pàstor join the club fellas. I'm leaving in 3 weeks for a month long holiday from Hokkaido to Hakata and everywhere in between. Been saving for 2.5 years since my holiday there was cancelled in March 2020. Bring it on.
I love how with the parasailing the first time joey seems to have the more chill energy compared to chris being terrified and the second time when it was more turbulent you could sense joey being a bit nervous while Natsuki was having a blast
Abroad in Japan has done a lot of things this year. Wacky Weekends, Journey across Japan, the soon to be released Chirs' POV of The Neverending Cycling of Despair across Hokkaido, and Chris is about to participate in a boxing event. As a long time viewer, I'm really proud of you Mr. Affable!
@@AbroadinJapan yeah, I feel tired out when I need to feed my children. Stupid toddlers can't just feed themselves. Nowadays no sense of work ethic in society.
The thrills, the action, the dramatic showdown between Natsuki and Ryotaro to declare once and for all their title for Chris Broad's lifelong friendship as the ultimate best friend...this video is a CINEMATIC MASTERPIECE! Once again, Chris Abroad has done it spectacularly. I'm sorry about the annihilated right ear as an unforgiving sacrifice of shocking pain.
Acting 10 out of 10! Ken Watanabe approves! This feels like a fever dream. I somehow had this thought that Natsuki and Risottoro might never meet because when they do, the world ends o_o Thank you so much for making this happen, Chris and everyone behind Journey Across Japan! It's always a pleasure watching these videos. Hope your ear is fine now!
This is some serious commitment here Even though he got injured (and surely it was more painful than he showed) he gave his all to his project. Congrats Chris, this turned out amazing.
I’ve had a perforated eardrum and they suck! It’s not necessarily the pain you expect but it feels uncomfortable and you have to avoid getting it wet which is a pain too. Mine healed up but now I have hearing problems in that one so hopefully Chris’ healed better than mine did.
when Chris opened the door I was expecting a very behaved introduction but Ryotaro just starts singing welcome to the jungle and the boys responded with the same energy XDD, so much better that I thought
@@HeavenlyCreature. same here, i loved it, the Ryotaro and Natsuki "fight" at the end and Chris's fail on the water made this one a fun one to watch, i hope Chris's ear is okay now though :)
No kap, the fighting scene between Ryotaro and Natsuki actually gave me goosebumps. It was honestly pretty moving. I think I may have actually wept a few tears. I *am* going to start my period soon but that doesn’t discount how awesome it was.
Couldn't have picked a more perfect and satisfying end to Journey Across Japan than a swordfight between Natsuki and Ryotaro finally after 10 years of Abroad in Japan. Feels too good to be true.

Japan was also closed off from outside travelers. I think Joey also said that they went in April, which for Japan is the ending/beginning of their fiscal year (and achool year...hence the cherry blossoms in a lot of school-related anime at the start of the year), so people might not have been able to get time off if work was chaotic.
cant tell you how much joy this gave me! amazing production and amazing people. my brand of humor too. I was laughing from my heart after a long day teaching japanese students. Love from Sendai
I agreed. But my ex-wife said she'd never get tired of me. Now she's divorced me, taken the kids, and left me with little money to keep buying McDonalds every weekend. She's a disgusting parasite of a human being, but I fully agree with your sentiment.
He ups the production value with each one and the show is becoming ever more popular with each JAJ released. Safe to say I'm confident we will be getting many more of these.
Chris, I hope you get comments like this often. But my man you absolutely kill it. Your videos, the quality of content, the snarky British humor, you've got it all. It's my favorite thing to get home from work and see a AIJ upload. We appreciate you, keep it up!
As a guy who used to work in an travel agency, loves to travel and been to japan 3 times. These "Journey Across Japan" series brings me so much joy and a great smile to my face! Travel shows is usually really good, but these series have a fun twist to it. Keep up the good work! I will return to japan one day, mark my words! And I shall cry the ocean full of my tears at the very place where the battle of Natsutaro took place. Such as sad story.... 😞
I’m guessing the agency you worked for wasn’t in an English speaking country. Your English is really good, just a few things here and there that are off.
@@SPFLDAngler Well, the primary language isn't english, but we have alot of english in school, also we have quite the amount of english/american speaking shows on TV.
I don't think I've ever seen Chris so genuinely excited as when they were exploring around that cave, it looked unreal! And when he pulled out a gun in the fight scene I totally lost it 😆 Another amazing episode.
Great job, Chris! This was so enjoyable to watch (minus the burst eardrum). The fight between Natsuki and Ryotaro was epic 😁 Thank you for yet another astounding season of JAJ.
That sword fight has to be the most hilarious thing I've ever seen on this channel. Holy molly I thought I was going to die from asphyxiation, good job.
I had to wait 2 days to play this video... because my GF was busy with work. But now, finally, we sat down and watched the epic final for this season. Eating fried tofu and a cup of tea to enjoy your ELEGANT and BRAVE adventure. Now I know why the eardrum problem you have mentioned before. I hope it heals. Thanks for all the hard work of the team, the guests, and, of course, the editing. You are the GOAT.
No production expenses were spared when editing that sky scraper for reference of height. Just insane level of visual quality, improving every journey!
So epic seing this come together! This crossover is better than endgame, everybody in one video, Ryotaro, Natsuki, Joey and The Idiot! This is the peak of youtube, it doesn't get any better after this
Right at the end 30:32 - the way Chris tells the fly to _"just f**k off"_ amused me so much. :-) You can tell that fly was constantly buzzing around him for a good 5 mins before it got to that point, and his frustration was so relatable. lol
Props to Chris and everyone involved for making once again the best series on the internet. Jounary Across Japan is such a amazing series, the production value is amazing and I still cannot give enough props to everyone involved, you have done it once again.
I'm in love with this series , the energy of this squad is immense and it has one of the highest production levels on all of UA-cam I seriously can't wait for the next journey across Japan Seriously though when ?
Ryotato saying something cool in Japanese to Natsuki only to be responded with "GO FUCK YOURSELF!" is the most hilarious thing! Thank you for making me laugh Natsuki!
I really enjoyed this last episode! I was literally laughing and smiling all throughout like a madman. The quality of Journey Across Japan just keeps getting better and better. Joey, Ryotaro and Natsuki in one video is total chaos and I am here for it! Lovely job Chris and your amazing team! 🔥
LETS GO! I'm glad its finished. Unfortunate that you got an injury, but I'm glad you're fine :) I do wish the series could've gone longer; but even though the trip was shorter then others, the quality was very high. Which more than makes up for it. Great job Chris and Co. I really enjoyed this JAJ, you should be proud of yourselves!
I had the same thing happen to my ear while learning how to wakeboard on vacation once. Fortunately it was the last day so it didn't ruin the vacation, but the next weeks SUCKED
Man, I’ll miss JAJ so much! Abroad in japan is one of my favorite channels and your videos always gives me a smile on my face. But there is something about JAJ that made me feel so at ease. Amazing series. Thank you for all your hard work!
100% need more N vs R battles. Glad you boys had a good time, it looks like you had a lot of fun. Cheers on the Journey series and very much looking forward to the next one.
I wondered if this was going to be the episode that showed the epic eardrum perforation of 2022. And why am I not surprised that Ryotaro had a part in it LOL. That's hella painful to go through so glad it got all healed up ok. Loved the final showdown at the end. And looks like it was fun to make. Or at least I hope it was. I k ow there's a lot of the not so glorious behind the scenes stuff that goes I to production but it's always nice if you can have fun with it too. Thanks for another incredible journey. 😁❤️
Mr. Affable has done it again! Thank you so much Chris for Journey Across Japan! I always look forward to it every week when the new season began. Stellar cinematography!
I waited for what it feels like months for this episode. Great way to get us all excited to travel to Japan now that borders will finally open in October.
Going through the Journey Across Japan series, it's been great fun seeing all of Okinawa and how absolutely beautiful it is. Mentioned more the 1st episode, my grandfather was also stationed in Okinawa during WW2 around 1945, but I personally knew nothing really of his time there since no veteran really talks about the war. He was a fighter pilot, and the most we really got out of him was that he did in fact shoot down a plane. But we have a photo or two, he did bring back a samurai sword (not legit but still stabby) and he gave me some Japanese money from that time period in near mint condition if not for writing on the bill itself. Thanks again to you Chris for having made the series, even if this was released 2 years ago now :)
Journey Across Japan has got to be my favorite series on UA-cam, never a dull moment and always manages to lift my spirits! Thank you Chris for making it! Also I hope the healing process wasn't TOO painful 😄
Absolute killer way to end this season, Chris! I do feel terribly bad about your eardrum; can't even imagine what kind of hell that was. You're still keeping up the title of the most affable man though, as you carried on and finished filming!
Been a fan for years and years of this channel. I think this is one of the best 30 minutes on UA-cam I've ever seen !! Incredible episode and loved this entire journey across Japan. To many more !
Quite a range of talent in your circle of friends! Natsuki and Ryotoro's fight scene was better than I have seen in Hollywood-type action films. Could have been in a classic Japanese film. Watching this was a very entertaining experience.
What an epic finale! Your journeys across Japan are some of my favorite videos on UA-cam. Fantastic work as always Chris, thank you for the all the blood, sweat and eardrums shed for our entertainment.
I'm always amazed by the quality of the shots and these movie like moments it makes you appreciate everything you see, seeing the chaotic energy between Ryatoro and Natsuki was cherry on top. Good job guys! Hope your ear is better now and that it won't affect you much in the future, those kinds of things hurting the eardrum can be pretty fucked. I send a big hug all the way from México.
For me this was easily one of the most entertaining YT video experiences of this year! Great shots throughout the whole episode and funny progressive storyline! The final showdown was so epic and well edited! Keep up the great work Chris and the crew!!

Finally! LETSGO CHRIS!! 💪🏼😤👌🏼
Natsuki responding to Ryotaro’s dramatic Japanese with “go f*** yourself!” Made me giggle and seemed very on brand for him.
Even though I read this before watching this scene, I started to laugh so hard after Natsukis line that I felt choking... As a matter of fact it happened twice as I watched this episode a second time.
I would love to have that "Go f**k yourself" line as a message sound on my phone. Is it available somewhere, if someone would know?

I often walk the pristine beaches of Okinawa. Granted that I am playing as Kazuma Kiryu at the time though.

As Natsuki once elegantly put it "Journey Across Japan: Always Fucking Place!"
He ups the production value with each one and the show is becoming ever more popular with each JAJ released. Safe to say I'm confident we will be getting many more of these.
@@dylanmartinez925 YES! 😀
Chris, I hope you get comments like this often. But my man you absolutely kill it. Your videos, the quality of content, the snarky British humor, you've got it all. It's my favorite thing to get home from work and see a AIJ upload. We appreciate you, keep it up!
Big props to Chris continuing to present after perforating his ear drum. That’s seriously impressive! Good job Chris!
This was quite fun to watch. Like button clicked. Now back to that epic battle dialog.
despite being the shortest season, this one was definitely just as memorable, you never fail to make me smile chris!
As a guy who used to work in an travel agency, loves to travel and been to japan 3 times. These "Journey Across Japan" series brings me so much joy and a great smile to my face!
Travel shows is usually really good, but these series have a fun twist to it. Keep up the good work!
I will return to japan one day, mark my words! And I shall cry the ocean full of my tears at the very place where the battle of Natsutaro took place. Such as sad story.... 😞
I’m guessing the agency you worked for wasn’t in an English speaking country. Your English is really good, just a few things here and there that are off.
@@SPFLDAngler Well, the primary language isn't english, but we have alot of english in school, also we have quite the amount of english/american speaking shows on TV.
I don't think I've ever seen Chris so genuinely excited as when they were exploring around that cave, it looked unreal! And when he pulled out a gun in the fight scene I totally lost it 😆 Another amazing episode.
Great job, Chris! This was so enjoyable to watch (minus the burst eardrum). The fight between Natsuki and Ryotaro was epic 😁 Thank you for yet another astounding season of JAJ.
watching this while colder weather creeps in is such a positive escape!
When Two Legends Meets.... What a monumental day it was and it's nice to see Chris document it all! 🤣
That drone footage of Natsuki almost destroying the drone is legendary
Another fantastic episode! It's a shame you hurt your ear, but Ryotaro and Natsuki's fight was truly epic. The acting was honestly funny.
That sword fight has to be the most hilarious thing I've ever seen on this channel. Holy molly I thought I was going to die from asphyxiation, good job.
I had to wait 2 days to play this video... because my GF was busy with work. But now, finally, we sat down and watched the epic final for this season. Eating fried tofu and a cup of tea to enjoy your ELEGANT and BRAVE adventure. Now I know why the eardrum problem you have mentioned before. I hope it heals. Thanks for all the hard work of the team, the guests, and, of course, the editing. You are the GOAT.
No production expenses were spared when editing that sky scraper for reference of height. Just insane level of visual quality, improving every journey!
YESSS, the much anticipated Chris' ear disaster part! 😂
this was an amazing end to an amazing series... justice for natsuki. this was epic
So epic seing this come together! This crossover is better than endgame, everybody in one video, Ryotaro, Natsuki, Joey and The Idiot! This is the peak of youtube, it doesn't get any better after this
Right at the end 30:32 - the way Chris tells the fly to _"just f**k off"_ amused me so much. :-) You can tell that fly was constantly buzzing around him for a good 5 mins before it got to that point, and his frustration was so relatable. lol
Jesus
Props to Chris and everyone involved for making once again the best series on the internet. Jounary Across Japan is such a amazing series, the production value is amazing and I still cannot give enough props to everyone involved, you have done it once again.
I'm in love with this series , the energy of this squad is immense and it has one of the highest production levels on all of UA-cam
I seriously can't wait for the next journey across Japan
Seriously though when ?
Natsuki monologing over your description of the water rupturing your ear as you fell was hilarious 😂 "broken arm" "ooooooof"
Journey across Japan is easily my favourite series on UA-cam. Look forward to hearing the wonderful theme some day again.
It’s so much fun to see Ojisans are playing seriously 😄 From Obasan
This was a perfect ending to a wonderful series of Journey Across Japan. This has been made with such quality.
Ryotato saying something cool in Japanese to Natsuki only to be responded with "GO FUCK YOURSELF!" is the most hilarious thing! Thank you for making me laugh Natsuki!
yea same lmaoo
I really enjoyed this last episode! I was literally laughing and smiling all throughout like a madman. The quality of Journey Across Japan just keeps getting better and better. Joey, Ryotaro and Natsuki in one video is total chaos and I am here for it! Lovely job Chris and your amazing team! 🔥
Chris gets injured I a highly comical way and the fight of the century what more could u ask for. The end was heartwrenching. Simply stunning episode
I love the sword fight at the end. Very well shot and edited! Those distorted close up angles are amazing
LETS GO! I'm glad its finished. Unfortunate that you got an injury, but I'm glad you're fine :)
I do wish the series could've gone longer; but even though the trip was shorter then others, the quality was very high. Which more than makes up for it. Great job Chris and Co. I really enjoyed this JAJ, you should be proud of yourselves!
it alway's put's a smile on my face when you guys upload, keep it up
I had the same thing happen to my ear while learning how to wakeboard on vacation once. Fortunately it was the last day so it didn't ruin the vacation, but the next weeks SUCKED
the fight was sublime it desreves a thumbs up wich i dont give out to many
This was amazing, thank you too all who involved in doing these series!
Man, I’ll miss JAJ so much! Abroad in japan is one of my favorite channels and your videos always gives me a smile on my face. But there is something about JAJ that made me feel so at ease. Amazing series. Thank you for all your hard work!
I'm sure a lot of people have been waiting for this. Okinawa looks awesome.
100% need more N vs R battles. Glad you boys had a good time, it looks like you had a lot of fun. Cheers on the Journey series and very much looking forward to the next one.
I spat my bloody coffee out when Natsuki shouted his battle cry during the sword fight, f*ing brilliant! haha
The fight choreography, acting, music, story.... This is better than any anime I have ever seen...good job chris.
Another amazing series.
I will say Natsuki absolutely radiates friend energy.
I wondered if this was going to be the episode that showed the epic eardrum perforation of 2022. And why am I not surprised that Ryotaro had a part in it LOL. That's hella painful to go through so glad it got all healed up ok.
Loved the final showdown at the end. And looks like it was fun to make. Or at least I hope it was. I k ow there's a lot of the not so glorious behind the scenes stuff that goes I to production but it's always nice if you can have fun with it too.
Thanks for another incredible journey. 😁❤️
Another episode !! Thanks Chris !!!
Mr. Affable has done it again! Thank you so much Chris for Journey Across Japan! I always look forward to it every week when the new season began. Stellar cinematography!
The battle scene is epic, absolutely love it! What an amazing crew of friends you have Chris!
I love this bromance! This team is the best and the ending was amazing. Keep going guys!
Finally we get to see Natsuki and Ryotaro on the same screen!!!
I waited for what it feels like months for this episode. Great way to get us all excited to travel to Japan now that borders will finally open in October.
Going through the Journey Across Japan series, it's been great fun seeing all of Okinawa and how absolutely beautiful it is. Mentioned more the 1st episode, my grandfather was also stationed in Okinawa during WW2 around 1945, but I personally knew nothing really of his time there since no veteran really talks about the war. He was a fighter pilot, and the most we really got out of him was that he did in fact shoot down a plane. But we have a photo or two, he did bring back a samurai sword (not legit but still stabby) and he gave me some Japanese money from that time period in near mint condition if not for writing on the bill itself. Thanks again to you Chris for having made the series, even if this was released 2 years ago now :)
I'm making my way through the whole channel, & this was the greatest so far ❤
Journey Across Japan has got to be my favorite series on UA-cam, never a dull moment and always manages to lift my spirits! Thank you Chris for making it!
Also I hope the healing process wasn't TOO painful 😄
By far one of the most chaotic episodes, well worth the wait.
Perfect, I just finished watching joey's vlogs and was wondering when we'd get the chance to see the rest of the trip!
Absolute killer way to end this season, Chris! I do feel terribly bad about your eardrum; can't even imagine what kind of hell that was. You're still keeping up the title of the most affable man though, as you carried on and finished filming!
Been a fan for years and years of this channel. I think this is one of the best 30 minutes on UA-cam I've ever seen !! Incredible episode and loved this entire journey across Japan. To many more !
Quite a range of talent in your circle of friends! Natsuki and Ryotoro's fight scene was better than I have seen in Hollywood-type action films. Could have been in a classic Japanese film. Watching this was a very entertaining experience.
Chris freaking out on the parasail was what I have been waiting for since the first journey across Japan XD Fantastic idea Joey
I hope it won’t be the last time I hear the Journey Across Japan theme song! Enjoyed these series so much! Thanks for including the bloopers as well!
Another brilliant episode in the series! What an awesome way to show off all these amazing places in Japan
Good times, I always get a warm fuzzy when I see your videos. Great job Chris!
I swear your videos just get better and better. It was so much fun seeing all four of you together.
What an epic finale! Your journeys across Japan are some of my favorite videos on UA-cam. Fantastic work as always Chris, thank you for the all the blood, sweat and eardrums shed for our entertainment.
I am always impressed by the sheer ingenuity of Chris. How does he get all these ideas??
Honestly, journey across Japan keeps getting better and better
Honestly, the quality of your videos just keeps on increasing. This is some of the best stuff on the whole website.
I'm always amazed by the quality of the shots and these movie like moments it makes you appreciate everything you see, seeing the chaotic energy between Ryatoro and Natsuki was cherry on top.
Good job guys! Hope your ear is better now and that it won't affect you much in the future, those kinds of things hurting the eardrum can be pretty fucked. I send a big hug all the way from México.
Man the production quality on these videos just keeps getting better and better
finally a new video!!
Chris got on the trending tab!!! Well done dude!!
For me this was easily one of the most entertaining YT video experiences of this year! Great shots throughout the whole episode and funny progressive storyline! The final showdown was so epic and well edited! Keep up the great work Chris and the crew!!
