5:43 Tokyo Blade roles The names are basically related to Katana(Sword). Blade: This is already in English, so no explanation will be necessary. Tsurugi: Written in Kanji, it is "剣", which means sword. Kizami: Means to chop. 匁(Monme): A unit of weight used in Japan in the old days; 1 monme equals 3.75 grams. It is not directly related to a sword, but perhaps because it resembles the kanji for "刀"? 刀鬼(Touki): A combination of the kanji meaning "刀(Katana)" and "鬼(Demon)". 鞘姫(Princess Saya): "鞘" means sheath and "姫" means princess. 10:25 Taiki Himekawa Although no specific reference is made, I believe that a certain Japanese male idol is the model. This male idol, in addition to singing and appearing on variety shows like Ai, is also an avid actor, including on the stage. At first glance, he may look dull in his jersey and beard during rehearsals, which is hardly the look of an idol, but in front of an audience he is a specialist who gives top-notch performances. 12:45 Sakimori 防(Bou) for 防御(Bougyo/Defense). 人(Jin) for 日本人(Nipponjin Or Nihonjin/Japanese). Ordinarily, "Boujin" means a person who protects people, which is correct, but as Kana says, it is read as "Sakimori". The reason for this special reading is because of the role it plays. In meaning, it refers to the soldiers who defended the frontier during the Heian period(794-1185). And where were these people guarding? They worked for national defense on the coast of the Kyushu region. The word "Sakimori" is derived from "Saki" meaning "Coast" and "Mori" meaning "Defense". 17:32 He is considered a very talented "stage" scriptwriter. Even if the original manga is a perfect 10, it is only in the manga medium. In manga, the reader can imagine the gaps between frames, but on the stage, everything must be acted out. Also, in manga, even less than a second can represent thinking and acting for a long time. Satoru Gojō of "JJK" can easily express a 0.2-second domain development in manga, but it is much more difficult to do so on stage. Even the animation of "MushokuTensei" was partially cut because it was impossible to fit the entire novel into the time available. In this sense, he writes a script to successfully change the original manga into a stage production, although he does not give it a perfect score of 10. So, he makes an effort to get as close as possible to the score of the original manga, but it inevitably takes the form of 8 or 9 points down.
That opening scene makes me want to see the play in real life, very cool. Also the scene with the paint splashing was so cool. Blade’s VA is Shigaraki so of course he’s good😜 Also kinda funny that the executive producer guy got the same colours and VA as Obenai.
She gets those little stars in her eyes like she did when she became like Ai in the last season. I guess that's not the right name for it. Whatever it is, it's when Akane is acting at her best.
@@DefinitivelyZach I think it represents Akane getting into the character. Ai's star is of a different color. This one is a little pink, was probably for the Saya Hime character.
skipped content, yea they could've done more to remind us of Melt. Aqua and Kana had the same reaction as the mangaka when they first ran into him again
Is it just me or did they skip alot of content to get right to the stage play rehearsals. It's been a while since I read this particular part in the Manga.
@@KeithEngel sorta, they skipped the part where they first meet and introduce themselves to each other. instead we get those flashcards in the moddle of rehearsal
Are you not going to react to Alya? Doga-Kobo is also making that one, and it is very good too. Did they change Ruby's VA? She sounded different from what I remember from season 1.
It's back and it looks as amazing as ever!!! I need more Ruby!!! Opening reaction will be up later!
For a bit of symbolism information: In Japan, crows tend to represent divine guidance, particularly with the god Yatagarasu, a three-legged crow.

What a way to kick of season 2. Been missing this anime so much and now it's back. Ready for more Kana and Akane's pout was so cute
the GOAT Akane will shine this season.

9:23 i dont think she went into Ai mode, i think she went into Princess Saya mode. That didn't sound like Ai to me

I love you Zach, keep up the good job
Long time no see B-Komachi
Please take care of my favorite characters, Melt Narushima!
Thank you! Melt please don't ruin it again!
skipped content, yea they could've done more to remind us of Melt. Aqua and Kana had the same reaction as the mangaka when they first ran into him again
Once I saw her reaction I remembered xD
