I’m telling you the reason Japan loves baseball is because it’s the closest thing they have to and irl turn based rpg
Imagine if they added gacha mechanics to baseball.
@@prismatic3695 they did but it's only for coaches and baseball dads when they have kids.
Xenoblade is so cool I wish physical altercations involving sharp weapons were real
@@MrSkerpentineyou could not have used a worse rpg for this joke
Shout outs to FriendAlias for somehow managing to turn nearly 3 hours of Coney reactioning in to a 25 minute video
Cant wait to watch the full react in 6 months.
I gotta give it to Coney. I've probably watched more baseball media on this channel than I've seen in my entire life
24:58 At first I was like “lol American football yeah” and then I thought about the horrors of putting that work ethic into a contact sport
Their team would be a combination of guys who can throw like these pitchers and literal sumo wresters, truly terrifying lol
Japan aren't bad at rugby. Bit of a downswing over the last world cup cycle, but they'll give any team in the world a decent game. After a disappointing world cup they're currently ranked world #12 which is the lowest of the "tier 1" nations. (world cup results have 2x the effect on rankings)
Sumo is crazy in Japan. I know its not as dangerous but it’s technically a contact sport
Joshi pro wrestling: “Allow us to introduce ourselves”
@@WorldBeansTransitioning over from Sumo to Rugby and vice versa would actually be pretty simple if you think about it
Coney really lacks the samurai spirit
This baseball video was honestly really good, so good in fact that Coney was into it the whole time for the hour long video.
Honestly this video was great to learn about the history of Japanese baseball and how much they progressed.
Unfortunate to the kids that were trained too hard and passed away.
Coney "Mr Hates Anime" ZZ going to Japan to be a baseball coach is the funniest bit of all time
"ted lasso" ahh bit 😭🙏
@@jackwalker7304 I haven’t seen Ted Lasso so I’ll take your word for it
Zack "Coney" "Mr. Hates Anime" "Mr. Beats Games" "Content Man" "Short King" Zeeks
Why would he hate the country? Its anime he hates.
I'm surprised he's even heard of Bluelock
For anyone curious, the play Coney mentions starring in, starting around 20:51, is "I Hate Hamlet" by Paul Rudnick. It's notorious in the theatre world for being overused as a source of audition monologues.
3:00 the fact i know of this team because they’re somehow represented in smash bros via ness’s 3rd alt is insanity.
I think my favorite gag in this video is Coney going "you don’t even have to win! The stakes are so low!" and then the entire rest of the video is just systematically proving that statement wrong
Japanese businessman trying to invent a new 25th hour in the day so baseball players can train for longer
Live Kirijo Group reaction:
Proud to be the only Arizona Coyotes fan and Coney subscriber
Better not steal Auston Matthews from us Leafs!
@@mattyofthenorth the only thing we need to steal is a relocation deal to houston
That 200k a year is making the anime One Outs make sense now.
Ummmm ackshually the American player who charged the mound and got kicked in the face by the manager was Jim Traber not Kevin Traber. He is on sports talk radio where I live about 4 hours a day so I feel the need to correct it LMAO
also fun fact he hit 7 home runs against that team the rest of the season and each time he stopped on 3rd base and shouted Japanese expletives at that specific manager while walking to home.
I'm pretty sure this type of culture isnt limited to just baseball, if I'm not mistaken it's also like this in other sports. Additionaly it's not just coachs that do this, I heard (from my mother) that you can get hit for bringing something as insignificant as some stickers (I use stickers as an example because my mother told me she would get hit for bringing them).
No wonder no one has kids in Japan.. if I grew up in that kinda environment I wouldn't want to have a child who'd have to go through that as well
oh wow japan sucks ass actually
Damn. I didn't know Super Mario Sluggers had such deep lore
holy shit the shinpachi fan club training sessions from gintama ARE REAL????
😐
They are real, but what shinpachi does is idol cheering, which they do take seriously and have charts for songs and stuff that they practice, but is a completely different thing from the baseball cheering mentioned.
In mexican soccer, you know you're big when you get scouted by an european team
I feel like you can describe some of this as passion to a fault. There's so much unbridled passion poured into this, actual heart and soul that its jarring when you compare it to others who are just like "Yeah bro idk its a game who cares lol". Some of it definitely goes overboard, like the fucking beating, but I admire the sheer dedication and will of human spirit.
Some would call it indoctrinated passion. Because would they have this same passion if they grew up in a different environment?
Love the persona 3 reload music making its way into the vids 👍
Japan try not to commit crimes against humanity (impossible)
@@SlyHikari03read a little
I love that Coney has a love for one of my favorite baseball channels. A welcome surprise
I don’t even like baseball but watching it with Coney makes me love it 😍
I'm lost, what is being referred to at 10:30? I can only see bits and pieces of chat, but something with IbDW and Panda?
suddenly the first palace from persona 5 makes a whole lot more sense
Dawg coney is putting up the opposite argument as Whiplash
8:22 yooo "How Did We Get Here?" mentioned!
Hell yeah I watched that whole hour long video, hell yeah am gonna watch this again with coney. Time no longer exists.
Ya know. I always thought the anime trope of highschools having so much power was silly. But after seeing that stadium for HIGHSCHOOL BASEBALL??
i like how i saw the thumbnail and knew what video it was
I knew the reactions was going to be good when coney watched that video
10:33 You're laughing. Baseball Man in Japan can't have sex, and you're laughing.
BASEBALL TIME BABAY
The anime “one outs” is like baseball meets death note
LET'S GO MORE BASEBALL
Hard work beats talent, when talent fails to work hard.
coney every time you fake scream it scares my dog.
Anyone know the song name at 21:59? It goes insane
20:52 The play Coney is going on a tangent about here is called "I Hate Hamlet" by Paul Rudnick
Anyone know what show Coney was in that he was talking about at 20:52? It sounds vaguely familiar, but I'm not sure. Thanks!
I'll leave my comment so when someone finds out I'll know too
*Apparently it's called "I Hate Hamlet" by Paul Rudnick
@@andymcclurg9916 ohhhh of course! I know of that show (like a monologue or two), but have never seen/read it. Thanks!!
Japan really isn't all that close to surpassing the US in overall talent but the NPB is definitely the second strongest league in the world and Japan arguably have the second best national team if every country is playing at full strength (the US was missing all of their top pitchers in the WBC, and its debatable if Japan is truly better than the DR)
"Ichiro turned down 22 million dollars in endorsements" That dude heard Ohtani was going to America to play and told him to take the money, I'm sure of it.
To be fair about the wbc. Team usa was not allowed to go all out for fear of hurting players for the normal MLB season, so all the best us players were not playong or were not allowed to give there all. Big thumbs up to japan though for an incredible win
That’s a stupid excuse because Mexico beat the u.s in the 2006 baseball classic with Rodger Clements on the mount and look at the line up full of hall of famers in their prime at that time. Mexico also beat the u.s this past baseball classic. You people always have an excuse for everything.
Japan, Dominican Republic and Cuba have become the best in baseball
lol you’re salty and giving a backhanded congratulations. 30 likes too, buddy, the USA sent their best batters though. And they were shut down. You lost 3-2. You’re all star mvp batters were shut down to 2 runs by NPB pitching. The USA wasn’t the only team missing players. Japan didn’t even call up most of their mlb players.
whats the song at 10:29 it sounds so familiar
HOW DID WE GET HERE MENTIONED LET'S GOOOOOO
YEAHHHHHH BASEBALL
Wtf why does coney know blue lock ❤
japanese baseball is something i never thought would be so insane damn…
BASEBALL POSTING!!!!
These japanese baseball players are more dedicated to the game than I am to even being alive in general
8:23 HDWGH METIONED!!!!!! BRING IT BACK
Japanese sports medicine, high-performance nutrition, and less overwork/focused training paid off.
Japan is next level.
Players like Shohe are a prime example of the stars of talent and hard work aligning.
No matter how much of either you have, if you dont have both you'll never win against these players.
Oh boy! Coney posted 29 seconds ago, I'm truly blessed to have opened my youtube on this day!
BASEBALL
MORE SMASH HUNGER GAMES
I would have watched this sooner but I thought it was a smash video. I only clicked it to get to your channel. Luckily its a baseball video
VIDEO, JAPAN!!
Funny part about the whole extreme training regiment ultimately tells us that all the top stars are still just unbelievably gifted natural prodigies. The training just gets them to MLB form younger so they don’t have to play minor league
What it tells us is that it actually does fuck them up bad. It's telling that when they're doing it the MLB way is when they finally start winning games.
@@Color_Splsh Yup. Training that hard without enough rest is "don't do this" 101 in any physical activity. They're doing extra work to objectively less effect.
video was so good, i could actually watch something boring ass baseball for once
And here I thought sports anime were exaggerated....
It’s hilarious hearing BDE saying Ohthani doesn’t care about money now
0:22 that shit look like squidgame 😤😤😤😤😤😤😤
i love you coney
greatest white boy of all time
JP is powerful
God damn do people in Japan even like life?
BAAAAAAAAASEBAAAAAAAAALL
My favorite thing about this was Coney repeatedly talking about Japan not winning, and then the thing about the US "usually winning" even though at the World Baseball Classic... Japan beat the US LOL
Payoff at the end of the video is so good.
I don’t think you’d get paid 200 grand if you were a nice coach. 😂
Training for that long and that often will not result in optimal results, only broken bodies.
The ending confused me.
"MLB is the end goal for the best Japanese players" and "Japan is the best baseball country in the world".
If it's the best, then why is the goal to leave? It can't be the best if their players are fleeing to a better place.
$$$
Shohei Ohtani has a 700mil contract that's only possible in the U.S. because of the obscene amount of money sports brings in here.
It may be that America is the origin of baseball, therefore making it the stage they want to stand on as professionals.
Another possibility is in the video itself, where, perhaps in conjunction with MLB being the supposed heart of baseball as its origin, Japan still views its own league as being like the little league compared to MLB
These are both just baseless speculation though, so don't take my word on it
It's a prestige thing. Baseball, American Football, and Hockey all have the most money behind it in the US not just in the sense of player contracts but in advertising, training, etc.
The same thing applies to all these all time great soccer players leaving coming from South and Central America but going to play in the major US and EU leagues.
Oh, so they're the Brazil of baseball. Our best players just go to europe instead, lol
All that training just to still get beat by the Hawaii little league team
Update: USA lost to Japan in football too 😂
As a Coyotes fan... it's true. It sucks. we get sold every couple years lmao.
I just want you to think for a second.
This is the mindset Japan takes to baseball. They took this mindset from their mindset towards military stuff.
IMAGINE FIGHTING A WAR AGAINST THESE PEOPLE. They would literally die before they'd give up on winning.
There's a reason Japan was the force that made America drop the nukes
@@superlagbro192exactly!
Japan literally has the best players and they are the best players
second?
Japan is this serious about high school baseball meanwhile actual MLB teams have had to place bans on Fortnite because players were playing too much of it. Amazing the difference provided by the Pacific
First
japan beat the ivy league in american football a couple of weeks ago
ivy league football💀
The only sports America wins at are the ones no one else plays ICANT
true, but basketball just sitting there like
Not gonna watch, Gonna take your word for it pops, Thanks Coney!!! 😜😜😜
The only problem that never came up is "Are the players moving from Japan to USA still traitors in the Japan eyes after the second and third player left?"
do NOT tell Japan about football.
To answer the stream title: in baseball, they're no where close to the United States. If we take it to smash like the title clickbaits, still no. Sparg0 loses early against a bunch of NA players but dominates the top Japanese players. Steve dominates Japan in a way that he doesn't in NA.
Acola dominates Japan not Steve. Also Acola also dominates NA except for just 2 players that also dominate NA.
Japan is easily the best country when it comes to smash bros
Fantastic misleading title mad props
Obviously the play should be to advocate for more child protection rights in Japan, for the sole purpose of making them be less good at Baseball.
Logan Paul
This is why coney hates all things Japanese. They make look the American sport look bad and he HATES that.
The Japanese are people who put too much effort into things that don’t matter as nearly as much as some things nobody cares about. I feel like they fail to understand the limits of the human body, which is very real, maybe too much anime warped their minds.
Or maybe they know the limits of the human body and want to push it to their absolute limit?
Its definitely the opposite, as in anime is based on the insane lives that Japanese people have
America is money brained
Japan is honor brained
by the way, yeah Japan plays real football
Baseball is a dogshit sport but this was entertaining
Bro played brawl and thinks he can coach baseball. 💀🤡
We can see your other comments on this channel. What are you doing man?
Everyone but japanese people misunderstand the movie "Whiplash". Every thinks it's about "abuse" or some corny ahh shit, but in reality, it's about surpassing boundaries through any means necessary.
"We play with heart" yeah, and steroids. A LOT of steroids.
Also we got our asses handed to us by Japan in the last world classic.
I heard of the KOSHEN from yakuza 5 im not even gonna lie
