What is YASUKE: A Lost Yapcast?

Join the voice acting cast of YASUKE: A Lost Descendant as they discuss extra lore and story whilst going through QnA’s!

YASUKE: A Lost Descendant is a diverse high speed hack 'n' slash action anime story game, featuring immersive parkour movement that allows the player to enjoyably traverse the environment and defeat enemies with the playstyle of their choice.

Will Gwasera:

Hello, everyone, and welcome to the Yasuke Radio podcast. I think we actually need a name for this, and maybe here in the call, we'll actually discuss this. I'm thinking maybe, like, Yasuke Yapcast.

SavyDes-Etages:

Yapping with Yasuke. A

Chase Corbin:

lost podcast.

SavyDes-Etages:

Mhmm. Mhmm.

Will Gwasera:

Perfect. I love it. You are joined by myself, Wugu Sara, also known as the voice of Tanaka Yasuke in the game.

Chase Corbin:

Hi. I am Chase, also known as Nobusora Oda

Will Gwasera:

in the game.

Eva Long:

I am Eva, also known as Miyavan and Tina in the game.

SavyDes-Etages:

And I am Sabi, aka Aina Oda.

Will Gwasera:

Perfect. So now you know us. This is the main four. You gotta get used to us. You're gonna get sick of us.

Will Gwasera:

And these Yasuke radios essentially to give you guys like an extra an extra bit of lore, an extra bit of sense of the world, the characters, and you may get some new character reveals in future episodes. But, yeah, is there anything anyone wants to say or start with before we get into the questions? Thanks for having us.

SavyDes-Etages:

It's an absolute honor and privilege.

Will Gwasera:

It's it's my pleasure. It's my pleasure. Well, let's start off with question number one. Do you think the odors would ever agree to do this out of universe?

SavyDes-Etages:

No. Not a chance. Years.

Eva Long:

Absolutely not.

Chase Corbin:

All the money in the world.

Will Gwasera:

You know what? You wouldn't you wouldn't wanna hear a Nobusora and Aina talk show, man? I think it'll be quite great.

Eva Long:

Call me

SavyDes-Etages:

to assume they would want to do that.

Chase Corbin:

The energy in the studio would be rancid. They would be sat facing each other in the studio. Nobusora, like, doing, like, the finger pyramid of contemplation, like, fingers crossed, like, slouched in his seat slightly, staring daggers. Like, go ahead. Say something.

Chase Corbin:

Entertain the people.

Eva Long:

Can even imagine in room with Tanaka would be Oh,

SavyDes-Etages:

don't even guess. What exactly?

Will Gwasera:

They'll just stop fighting mid mid to fuck us. I can even imagine one of the tech guys would be like, Nobasurum, could you could you speak up, please? You're bit and then he just gets up and starts trying to kill him and, what do you mean? You think I can't

SavyDes-Etages:

be heard

Will Gwasera:

clear enough? Like, I

SavyDes-Etages:

I can just think just the

Chase Corbin:

people. Of this country hear my voice plain as day. Hacking this poor man.

Will Gwasera:

Savi, what do you think about Aayna? What would be her take on the doing this, I guess?

SavyDes-Etages:

Oh, she'd be like, oh, this could be a fabulous opportunity to make the country think well of my brother. And then her brother would just, like, cough. And she'd be like, actually, no. He even coughs like a maniac. Like coughs like a maniac.

SavyDes-Etages:

There's nothing I can do to salvage this situation.

Chase Corbin:

Every sense of the word.

Will Gwasera:

Yeah. Unfortunately. So someone needs to get him therapy genuinely, like There's not

Chase Corbin:

a therapist alive brave enough for this man.

SavyDes-Etages:

That is

Will Gwasera:

that is true because everyone that was is no longer

SavyDes-Etages:

alive. So

Will Gwasera:

moving on to question two. How much do you think Mia spends on art supplies?

Eva Long:

I say nothing because she doesn't spend her own money. She takes it from the city. She'd been stealing, you know, spray cans and and, you know, paint buckets from the the buildings being made. Is she gonna spend her own money when there's free crafts out there?

Will Gwasera:

Yeah. And I mean, to be honest, it's just a way of getting back at Oda. You know? She don't pay taxes.

Eva Long:

You know? If there's happens to be an Oda guard underneath her, she's gonna grab a paint bucket and just throw it over the you know, bolt it over and hit them, and nobody would see Yeah.

Chase Corbin:

Start note to self, start putting tracking ships in paint buckets.

SavyDes-Etages:

Tracking ships.

Eva Long:

Yeah. They'll land on the guards more than

Chase Corbin:

Listen. I didn't say it's a good idea. We're we're we're we're workshopping stuff. There's no bad ideas. Right?

Chase Corbin:

You know?

SavyDes-Etages:

Mia is an artist, and she's creative. It's not just the art where she gets creative. Like, procuring her supplies is in an office art form as well.

Will Gwasera:

Exactly. Like,

Eva Long:

I to spray cans, she probably, you know, grabs some from old shops, things like that. You know? Mhmm. If there's a paint and hardware store, it's probably ransacked at least once a quarter kinda thing.

SavyDes-Etages:

I know they still have business. That's just she's still got money from it.

Eva Long:

Like, I'm reaching to get hold of life. Taxes.

Will Gwasera:

So That's true. And I mean, to be fair, we have miss Jada's shop. That's their gang's hangout spot when they were younger. Has a DIY store, which includes paints and stuff, but that's probably why she hates having them there because, you know, Mia would ransack all of her supplies. So

Eva Long:

I mean, the smell of aerosol every day would probably give miss Jada a headache.

SavyDes-Etages:

Let's be

Will Gwasera:

honest. True. That's so true. And then you have the nagging kids in the background screaming and fighting because you have Tanaka and Nobisuru fighting with pipes and buckets. Meanwhile, I Aina and Mia are just spray painting and coloring stuff all over the place.

Will Gwasera:

I I really wouldn't blame her.

SavyDes-Etages:

All I'm hearing here is that the best way to entrap Mia is like, you know, in Looney Tunes when you've got like a paint can under a book cardboard box with a stick, and then she assumes she goes for it. You quick. Put the double bus down, you just grab the I'm pretty sure

Chase Corbin:

Instead of a instead of a sign that says free art supplies, it says expensive art supplies do not steal. Yes.

Will Gwasera:

Question three. Isn't it weird to constantly have an old guy in your head? Okay. I sound schizophrenic to some people. Now I tell I tell Mia whenever we're going around Niankoku and, you know, Tanaka's here, he's saying that there's someone watching us from a building or there may be someone here that he sees.

Will Gwasera:

And me, we're kinda just looking at him crazy thinking, are you okay? And even now as I speak it, I sound crazy. And I'm I'm I'm telling you guys.

Eva Long:

I it's just it's just the song in my head. I always feel like somebody's watching me. He's just prompting me playing to me a song. Like, that's first Ed's song. Every time he talks about it, it's

Will Gwasera:

like It's true. Okay. I need help.

SavyDes-Etages:

Maybe I'm not

Will Gwasera:

that far from Nobisura. Do they not have security

SavyDes-Etages:

cameras in Neon Koku? I mean, to be fair, you you you're not wrong, I suppose,

Will Gwasera:

in some That's true. But, like, how what? Do I ring up the the Oda hotline and say, hey, it's Tanaka. I I I have someone following me. And Nobisu would probably respond with, yeah, it's me.

Will Gwasera:

I I No.

SavyDes-Etages:

I'm good.

Chase Corbin:

I'm paying them.

SavyDes-Etages:

What am I paying

Chase Corbin:

them for if not

SavyDes-Etages:

to follow My ends are going far.

Chase Corbin:

Exactly. I thought the question, you know, might have been for Nobisora is,

Will Gwasera:

you know, the old guy

SavyDes-Etages:

in his head is definitely his

Will Gwasera:

dad. That's that's actually true. That's a fab you know what, Nobisu how what is it like, Chase, having an old guy constantly in your head?

Chase Corbin:

How real are we being?

Will Gwasera:

Hey. You be as real as you wanna be, man.

SavyDes-Etages:

We're all friends. This is a safe space. Obu's the

Chase Corbin:

Nobosora is not well. He's we've discussed this.

Will Gwasera:

Yep. He's

Chase Corbin:

he's not he's not a relaxed, chill individual. He's you know, I I I'm gonna come out

Will Gwasera:

and say it.

Chase Corbin:

I don't think his dad's a good influence on him.

Will Gwasera:

Oh, definitely not.

SavyDes-Etages:

Steady on now. Like, episode. Let's not get too crazy now.

Will Gwasera:

Oh my. That's true. Family feud already. I can't

SavyDes-Etages:

believe it.

Will Gwasera:

Okay. Well, moving on to question four. How's life in Neon Koukou? Never seen a sea this bright. Well, I'll speak from Tanaka's standpoint.

Will Gwasera:

I think it's a very colorful colorful country. There's so much going on. There's so even Rango District. Rango in itself means unity. The amount of different cultures that thrive in this one city and district.

Will Gwasera:

We have all these different, just types of people, the diversity. It's you go to one area and there's a market stall giving one type of country's food, and you go across the street, and now you're in a different continent. It just it feels great. Of course, Tanaka and Mia being able to parkour around the city, see the the views from a different level that other people see, and everyone's just so nice. Everyone's so cheerful.

Eva Long:

Yeah. I would agree with that. I would also say that it's very bright even at night. So, you know, wearing sunglasses at night would not be that hard for a lot

SavyDes-Etages:

of people

Eva Long:

just because of how bright these neons are in people's faces. And I'm

SavyDes-Etages:

like, oh

Eva Long:

god, what is this blaring, glaring eye sore? But at the same time, you know, you see why people have goggles and and things like that on them. It's like yeah. It's way too bright even at night. It's like New York just 12 times bigger.

Will Gwasera:

Yeah. It's both fashion and functional.

SavyDes-Etages:

Mhmm. Mhmm.

Will Gwasera:

What about the Otis?

SavyDes-Etages:

I mean, really, you've just done our PR campaign for us. It's just like, see? Even our enemies love life in Nihon Koku. It's fabulous. So thanks thanks.

SavyDes-Etages:

That's that's all I have to say. Even even these guys like it, so we're doing something right.

Chase Corbin:

The public stance is that Oda District is as bright as our future.

SavyDes-Etages:

Oh. What

Will Gwasera:

a Oh.

Eva Long:

That is such a political answer, honestly.

SavyDes-Etages:

It really is.

Will Gwasera:

I'm not supposed to agree with this, but shit, you got me.

SavyDes-Etages:

You've just been watching Lyrical about Nihon Koku this whole time.

Will Gwasera:

Do mean? I can't. Mean, I'm converted, bro.

SavyDes-Etages:

Yeah. Know. You two are gonna come for it. It's like, see, look, even those who aren't our fans love it here. Like Yeah.

SavyDes-Etages:

You know what?

Will Gwasera:

Actually, let's go back to our answers before. The people

SavyDes-Etages:

I completely I was

Will Gwasera:

too I was too blindsided thinking about how great the people are in the Yokoku. But let's not forget the Oda clan. Okay.

SavyDes-Etages:

The best Oda clan you'll ever meet.

Will Gwasera:

The Oda clan. I can't walk 10 meters down the street without being interrogated as to where I'm going. They have curfews. They have just ransacking random civilians trying to see I'm pretty sure last week, I saw an odegaard steal someone's food. And at this point, it's like, what are you doing?

Will Gwasera:

So, you know, in that aspect

SavyDes-Etages:

of know it wasn't expired, and we weren't taking it away for that citizen's own safety. Safety.

Chase Corbin:

The Odaghuards are looking out for everyone's safety. Exactly. I'm so sorry we pay them enough that they ask you

Will Gwasera:

about your day and where you're going.

Chase Corbin:

See,

Will Gwasera:

I'm Everything are citizens safe. Mhmm. I would be inclined to think maybe you're right if I didn't see him take off his mask and proceed to eat it in front of the civilian.

SavyDes-Etages:

Taste testing to make

Will Gwasera:

it prove

SavyDes-Etages:

that it was in fact, you know, dangerous. Wow.

Will Gwasera:

You guys really are

SavyDes-Etages:

pionishing now. Just the king that has, you know, a food taster and a wine taster. We offer that to just the everyday civilian because we

Will Gwasera:

can. Mhmm. Mhmm. It makes sense. It makes sense.

Will Gwasera:

What is I thinking?

Chase Corbin:

Not optional. I have to be clear about that.

Will Gwasera:

It's not. It is a big mandatory.

SavyDes-Etages:

A obligatory food tasting. Oh my gosh. Well, somebody's

Eva Long:

gotta taste the poison.

SavyDes-Etages:

That's exactly

Chase Corbin:

what I'm saying.

Will Gwasera:

Hey. I mean, spoilers or anything, but someone definitely did. You know? I just wanna point that out. Someone tasted the poison.

Will Gwasera:

Anyways

SavyDes-Etages:

I'm giving you a look. Can't tell me. As you say, by the end of this radio show, one of us will be dead because we've ingested poison at the beginning of this. Definitely not. But I had

Eva Long:

a new question to the podcast,

Chase Corbin:

which is Where do I find the antidote?

Will Gwasera:

Next question. Okay. So would you mind giving a detailed explanation on the insurgent's various ways to avoid and defeat the guards for no particular reason? I I wonder who asked that question.

Chase Corbin:

This is church. Speak slowly so I can take notes.

Eva Long:

I mean, I've already explained about the paint cans.

Will Gwasera:

You know? Yeah.

Eva Long:

That is a way to, like, be able to at least blindside them.

Will Gwasera:

Yeah. They wouldn't be able to see for and I think you use that extra strong paint, so it's kinda hard to wipe off the visor. Yeah. It's gonna

Eva Long:

be that bright pink, like, pink pony club pink of

Will Gwasera:

color. Exactly. Exactly.

SavyDes-Etages:

And Parrs. Glitter or no glitter?

Eva Long:

Oh. With glitter.

SavyDes-Etages:

Oh. Okay. Thank you. It's gotta be glitter.

Eva Long:

It's gotta be everywhere.

SavyDes-Etages:

It's be

Will Gwasera:

glitter. You Tanaka's ways of getting around you know, I'm not trying to get too into detail because I think certain people are listening. But, you know, I just I would tell them, I hope they're having a nice day. Walk along, pretend like nothing's going on, and just wish him well. That's the that's exactly what I do.

Will Gwasera:

I definitely don't include anything of fighting, sword combat, super powered danketsu move. Like, I I don't think any of that is really necessary. Maybe I'm just talking crazy.

SavyDes-Etages:

No. You're a little in the hot tubs. You hot with friendly demeanors. Friendly demeanors.

Chase Corbin:

I think

SavyDes-Etages:

Come on. Mhmm.

Eva Long:

Nobody really looks up when they're patrolling.

Will Gwasera:

So Exactly. I mean, it's it's kind of the of maybe don't they?

SavyDes-Etages:

I mean, not your We

Chase Corbin:

can retrain

Will Gwasera:

these guards.

SavyDes-Etages:

Yeah. I mean,

Will Gwasera:

all I gotta say is the helmets, it it's kinda limiting for their head movement. I'm a I'm a help you out here and let you know If

Chase Corbin:

someone would stop bludgeoning them, we could perhaps remove them.

Eva Long:

I mean, I'm going to say this as a never.

SavyDes-Etages:

Exactly. You know?

Will Gwasera:

Yeah. I I can't promise you anything. But just to agree to disagree, sure.

SavyDes-Etages:

I feel like this is the part where we bring in a special super secret guest, one of the guards. They have bludgeoned everyone. You're you're so They are unconscious.

Chase Corbin:

Peter's unconscious and can't

SavyDes-Etages:

see grieving wife who is wondering how she's gonna put food on the table now that he's not earning. Guys,

Will Gwasera:

I got I gotta be honest. I have a no kill rule. I don't kill anyone. However If if after the fight, they may not be able to talk or function, that's not my fault.

SavyDes-Etages:

I mean, no.

Will Gwasera:

Will that

Eva Long:

hold up definitely a thing. It's just unconscious is the is the level that I'll go to. You know?

Will Gwasera:

Yeah. Exactly. He's just

Eva Long:

Give him a lot of psychological and physical damage afterwards.

Will Gwasera:

He's having a prolonged sleep.

SavyDes-Etages:

I think Tanaka hitting

Chase Corbin:

the streets with a compelling series of arguments instead of superpowers

SavyDes-Etages:

and and the sword.

Will Gwasera:

I don't know about you guys, but Rengo District loves what I do. The other districts, we ain't gonna talk about how

Chase Corbin:

they does not.

Will Gwasera:

Yeah. I I can I can imagine quite, you know, quite them up? Next question. Moving on. Where did the little robot come from?

Will Gwasera:

You're talking about my goat Vitra or as Tanaka and Mio call him big p because he has a big plug on his head. So, you know, that's that's kind of the vibe. Vitra, the little robot, he one time, we were parkouring above miss Jada's shop, and we're so happy to find him there. He's actually one of the Odegaard training bots. This is it's a standard prod production, but we kinda took him as our own, modified, and tweaked a few things, gave him a sentient conscience.

Will Gwasera:

And, yeah. Now we got Veetra. You know, he's not one of the standard robots that you guys have.

Chase Corbin:

Our robots are top of the line.

SavyDes-Etages:

Yeah. I mean, you couldn't have even got Veetra without our tech. So

Will Gwasera:

Yeah. That's true. But, again, as as as Eva was saying right there, our Veetra's top of the line. You won't find anyone else like him. Now there may be some moments where Veetra sees some of the the other robots, and he's a little sad, and seeing the fact they aren't free like he is.

Will Gwasera:

Hold on. Robot racing is what

SavyDes-Etages:

I'm saying. He might be sad because he isn't with his fellow robot brethren having a wonderful time under Odacare. Let's let's not be reading into each

Chase Corbin:

robots sad, or did we spare them the pain of existence? Exactly. Can't ignore robots existential dread, Tanaka.

Will Gwasera:

You make very compelling arguments. Listen. I just think if we have Vitra here right now, maybe he'll join us for a future call. If we had him with us, I know he would agree that he loves living. He gets to experience things.

Will Gwasera:

He gets to be alive.

Chase Corbin:

You just programmed him to say that.

SavyDes-Etages:

Yeah.

Eva Long:

Freedom's a

SavyDes-Etages:

lie. Rod, no. Okay. We're getting into I feel scared.

Will Gwasera:

I know. Maybe I need to go have a talk with Veetra and really ask how he feels.

SavyDes-Etages:

But okay. Next question.

Will Gwasera:

Who's your favorite character from the revealed cast so far? Okay. Obviously, if we have to be unbiased from our own characters, I think my favorite, it might

SavyDes-Etages:

gotta be Kenny fucking Lawrence. Like, how

Will Gwasera:

And I was gonna

SavyDes-Etages:

say, it's three words. Kenny fucking Lawrence.

Will Gwasera:

Just he has a different flair to him. It's it's it's it's something. You know, a little insight for you guys to hear when me and Justice was doing some Kenny recordings on February 1. Because Kenny, he's he's very much on the border of, like, he's not racist, but

Eva Long:

He is a patriot.

Will Gwasera:

He's a patriot. He feels strong for his country. So when he was recording and Justice made a point, he was like, you made me voice act this character on the start of Black History Month. And not only that, one of the lines, which by the way, I didn't say, like, I didn't write this line down. I said to Justice, improvise.

Will Gwasera:

We need some shit talk whilst we're fighting Kenny. And Justice proceeds to say,

SavyDes-Etages:

get back here, boy.

Will Gwasera:

So I'm like, okay. We're gonna use that, but, hey, Kenny just got a different kind of vibe to him, man, and he's got a different kind of sauce and swagger. So I'll say Kenny is my answer.

Eva Long:

Yep. Definitely, Kenny. Just when when you announced that it was Justice, I was so happy. I was like, I've worked with him on a lot of projects, and it's just, oh my god. The way he improvs just scares me sometimes.

Will Gwasera:

We need to start a

Chase Corbin:

whole other podcast just for how much we love Justice.

Will Gwasera:

I'm like, jeez. Hey. That'll be the Kenny episode. There we go.

SavyDes-Etages:

I'm actually gonna say something different because that was the obvious pick, and, of course, it was epic. But and this is talk this is talking as Savvy. I don't know how Aina feels, but Yuki Yoshihara Mhmm. Is literally, like, teenage me's ideal. Like, pretty, white men, gorgeous.

SavyDes-Etages:

Like, I don't care what his role in the story is. I just give him kisses. He's fabulous. He's a pretty boy.

Eva Long:

Boy kind of

Will Gwasera:

thing. Yeah. Yuki is the pretty boy of the group. I'll say that right now. Yeah.

Will Gwasera:

Even if we give, like, a little insight to, like, his personality and stuff, if we think about what random things can the group do. For example, Tanaka is a good dancer. Mia is good at power lifting and all that sort of stuff. Yuki's a good cook. It's just a very random

SavyDes-Etages:

thing, but, like, things like that. The fan girls are writing those barista AU fanfics as we speak. Oh, no.

Will Gwasera:

It's happening. No.

SavyDes-Etages:

That's

Eva Long:

very We know that we're gonna have a mukbang.

Will Gwasera:

Just Yes.

SavyDes-Etages:

A mukbang. Okay. It's cooking. You know?

Will Gwasera:

The Yuki mukbang. That needs to be done. We need to have that in the game now.

Chase Corbin:

It's a quick time event.

Will Gwasera:

Oh my god.

SavyDes-Etages:

Quick time. Oh

Will Gwasera:

my god. Nothing button mashing. It'll be like a competition as to who can eat

SavyDes-Etages:

the quickest between the crew. And then

Will Gwasera:

just bear. I love it. I love it. Okay. Next one.

Will Gwasera:

Oh, this is you guys are gonna have fun with this. Do the older siblings actually get along, or are they constantly aiming for each other's throats?

SavyDes-Etages:

We are best friends. Officially speaking. He is wonderful. There is nothing wrong with my brother.

Will Gwasera:

Mhmm. And now if we if we just, you know, cut the mics for a second and talk on the reel.

Chase Corbin:

Send I gave you like you meant it.

Will Gwasera:

Not the script. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Yeah. That pretty much sums it.

Will Gwasera:

Yeah. These older siblings, you guys are gonna see a lot between them.

Chase Corbin:

Think there would have have been a potential for them to have gotten along if circumstances turned out differently Yeah. Perhaps. Yeah. But circumstances are what they are. Yeah.

SavyDes-Etages:

I mean,

Will Gwasera:

as we discussed earlier,

SavyDes-Etages:

if he wasn't mowing down every therapist that came his way, he would have made an attempt. But

Will Gwasera:

That is that's true, actually.

SavyDes-Etages:

Self preservation's gonna kick in some stuff. I

Chase Corbin:

as as Nobusora's actor, I do have to acknowledge that he is 100% the problem that they do not

SavyDes-Etages:

give along. There's no give and take here.

Chase Corbin:

Yep. He's he's two way street.

Will Gwasera:

He's not all up there, guys. It's just it's just how it is. Maybe one day, we'll see the Sydney next game.

Chase Corbin:

I mean, doesn't even give his robots free will.

Will Gwasera:

Oh my god. Yeah.

SavyDes-Etages:

That was

Will Gwasera:

that was specifically a design choice from him. That's a shame.

SavyDes-Etages:

No. No. No. He does give them free will, but then buys them so they can't act upon it.

Will Gwasera:

Well, how's the suffering? Exactly. Just take Invented robot

SavyDes-Etages:

Implement inbuilt dread and misery into his rip pocket.

Will Gwasera:

See, I did free Veetra. This is what I'm talking about.

SavyDes-Etages:

My god. You said this was all off mic. Like, this is all being cut from the final episode. Were you with that? Jerry production,

Will Gwasera:

you you still got this. Right? Like

Chase Corbin:

Stop paying Jerry five dollars to leave these segments in.

Will Gwasera:

Hey, man. We gotta bring you guys down one way or another. I'm just saying.

Chase Corbin:

Well, it's certainly not combat, is it?

SavyDes-Etages:

I'll prove to you otherwise. You'll see. You'll see. Okay. Think it might be the power of friendship.

SavyDes-Etages:

Spoilers. But that's that's where I'm putting my money. I think the power of friendship's gonna

Will Gwasera:

Right. The power of friendship. Yeah.

Chase Corbin:

Just because Buu Sora has no friends, you bring

Will Gwasera:

it to that arena.

Chase Corbin:

I see how it is.

Will Gwasera:

Yeah. You know, quick question. Nobusora, who does he talk to about his problems? Because I I know there ain't really really anyone

Chase Corbin:

that's involved That would be Nobusora's lifelong friend and trusted confidant, Odegaard number 48.

Will Gwasera:

We love Odegaard number 48. We love him. Snaps and slaps

Chase Corbin:

and and What

Will Gwasera:

are the chances that Odegaard number 48 actually spreads some of the things that Obasura says to other Odegaards in the force?

Chase Corbin:

If they know what's good for them, zero.

Will Gwasera:

I don't think yeah. That's all they're gonna say.

Eva Long:

How would you actually know if it is Odegaard forty eight and they're just not swapping each other out? Because he's

SavyDes-Etages:

his trusted confidant and best friend. Of course he was of course he could pick him out of a crowd.

Chase Corbin:

It's true. Also, I imagine Nobusora has done the very mentally healthy strategy of seeding specific juicy rumors to various guards and seeing which ones get out, knowing at which one, and then strategically eliminating them from the guard. I mean, their jobs. Just their jobs. He fires Yes.

SavyDes-Etages:

He basically did a wagout for Christie. Just Colleen runied his way through the entire vodegarde to see whether

Will Gwasera:

he needs come Until eventually,

Chase Corbin:

his noble, trusted friend and confidant who never spilled any secrets, Otagard forty eight was

Will Gwasera:

K. I actually I have a headcanon, which maybe we'll animate this one day. Who knows? But I don't know if you guys have seen that SNL skit with Kylo Ren pretending to be one of the stormtroopers.

Chase Corbin:

Undercover boss.

Will Gwasera:

Undercover boss. And I think Milvostaur would do the exact same thing to, you know, see what the older gods really feel about him. I think we should do that.

SavyDes-Etages:

I think we should.

Chase Corbin:

Just intensely to a guard in the break room. What's your favorite trait about Nobusora Oda?

Will Gwasera:

I think, you know, to be honest, his metal arm's kinda weird. It's like, I think the other Oda guards, they thought it was cool, but my favorite personal part has to be how angry he gets. He can really lash out at times.

Chase Corbin:

He grabs the guy with his metal arm. What's with

SavyDes-Etages:

the metal arm?

Chase Corbin:

It's fully functional. Allow me to show you.

Will Gwasera:

Throws it through a wall. Then the other gods are looking

SavyDes-Etages:

at me. Just made the gods stay, though. If his favorite trait is the anger, and he was just on the receiving end of it, he's

Eva Long:

just now like, yes, daddy.

SavyDes-Etages:

That was amazing. What's that? Uh-oh.

Will Gwasera:

Yeah. You're right. You know what? Actually

SavyDes-Etages:

I'm just saying. Not with her and made a guy's dreams come true just then. Best boss.

Eva Long:

You for

Will Gwasera:

the guy.

Chase Corbin:

Okay. Thank you for the PR spin. We appreciate that. It is.

Will Gwasera:

I mean, she's They do not pay me enough

SavyDes-Etages:

at all.

Will Gwasera:

Savvy's too PR trained. What is this?

SavyDes-Etages:

Oh my gosh.

Will Gwasera:

Okay. Going on to the next question. If you could have any type of Danketsu or power, what would it be? Now, of course, if we if we, like again, non biased because Tanaka, he's got the animal danketsu. We can switch around, do these different animal stances, the characteristics.

Will Gwasera:

But I digress. We'll change to something else. If I could have anything, and I wanna preface this to those listening, this does not mean

SavyDes-Etages:

that this is a power you will see. Okay? I'm just none

Will Gwasera:

of these might or might not be powers you see. I'm just, you know, we're expressing our feelings. I think it might have to be something with, like, pocket dimensions. That could be pretty cool. I'm just saying, like, I'm trying to stray away from the standard because if I was doing standard, would say, like, super speed.

Will Gwasera:

But Oh, yeah. I'm trying to stray away from the standards and maybe, like, pocket dimensions, and he could just you know, he could go in there. Everything's like a replica of the real life, but no one else is there. So you could kinda, like, I don't know. Let's say you wanna rob a bank.

Will Gwasera:

Don't ask why theft is the first thing on my mind.

SavyDes-Etages:

Let's say you wanted to rob a bank, you could go

Will Gwasera:

into the pocket dimension. Now you're at the version of the bank where no one's there, and then you'll come back. So I'm just like, things like that could be pretty cool.

Chase Corbin:

Now see, I was gonna say stuff like, you never have to check a bag on an airplane.

SavyDes-Etages:

Yeah. I thought you was gonna be like, that's when Mia chucks all the paint that she stole. Yeah.

Eva Long:

Was gonna say invisibility because then I could chuck paints

SavyDes-Etages:

and nobody would see her. The paint cans would just be floating in the air. No. I mean,

Eva Long:

it it's more like the cloak of the invisibility from Harry Potter. Basically, you have it within you, then you can do everything

SavyDes-Etages:

and not

Eva Long:

be caught.

Will Gwasera:

Mhmm. I was gonna say, because, like, imagine two of the older guys just having a conversation. They're like, John, why is

SavyDes-Etages:

there a floating paint can behind you? It's not so bad

Chase Corbin:

quick to not question things around here.

Will Gwasera:

But Chase and Savi, what are what are your you know your answers? Savi, you can go first if you want.

SavyDes-Etages:

I think and this might just be some sort of like poetic spitefulness on Aina's part. But, like, since she's so in the background and in the shadows, if she could, like, actually become shadows, like, if there's a shadow, she can meld into it kind of thing. A bit like not a bit like almost like, you know, like, Coke and Dagger, like the Dark Souls dimension, like, melding into shadows and stuff and being able to pop out. Which is ironic given how bright the city is. But I think that actually that would probably suit her like, this is what you want me to be.

SavyDes-Etages:

Okay then. Melt into darkness.

Will Gwasera:

That would actually be a really cool power. That would be really cool about it. You guys come up with cool powers. I just said something that could help with theft. Oh.

Eva Long:

I said something that would, you know, cause a public nuisance.

SavyDes-Etages:

So

Will Gwasera:

That's that's actually a good point.

Chase Corbin:

True. Just every morning once once you get the invisibility power, every morning, Nobusora wakes up with Sharpie all over his face. And no one can figure out how it's happening.

Eva Long:

Maybe something gets graffitied on the side of one of the Oda buildings, you know? Mhmm. You never have a proof because cameras can't catch what they can't see.

Chase Corbin:

That's true. Slowly paint just appearing on the side of the building as though it's being printed on.

Eva Long:

Just Nobisura with a mustache on the side of a building.

Will Gwasera:

I can already imagine the conversation in the camera rooms when Obisur is looking at the camera asking the the guard, what's going on? And the guard is, I don't know, man. It's just a flowing bait can. And, you know, probably ends in violence as per usual.

Eva Long:

What? Just I'm just having a headcanon of the the Oda family, like, being painted on a mural on one of these buildings. And next thing you see is just devil horns,

SavyDes-Etages:

mustache, and twirly mustache. How much do you

Will Gwasera:

want him?

Chase Corbin:

Little stink lines coming off. Yes. Yes. Exactly. Yeah.

SavyDes-Etages:

I mean, the lines of ones that specifically impact Nobussora. Like, if we're just gonna use our powers for for that messing with him. Like, I don't know if anyone's seen, like, Chicago, like, when the spin doctor is basically telling the papers exactly what to write. Like, he's like a puppet master, like, puppeteering them. So, like, I know just basically with a little nobosaurus sock puppet, everything is fine.

SavyDes-Etages:

This is what I'm saying. I am not crazy. It's something finally

Will Gwasera:

insane, it has to be done. As as long as he's

SavyDes-Etages:

not crazy anymore.

Chase Corbin:

It's just what he does to the robots. So honestly, it's karmic retribution.

Will Gwasera:

If

Chase Corbin:

if we're talking about superpowers that like I would personally want, like me the actor,

Will Gwasera:

I would

Chase Corbin:

want teleportation because there's too many cool things and too many cool people and it costs too much money to see them all. I would I would love to just be able to go wherever I wanted at a moment's notice. That would be awesome. Have the podcast all in the same room.

Will Gwasera:

That'd be great.

SavyDes-Etages:

That's true.

Chase Corbin:

But, you know, that if we're talking about powers our characters would want, Nobosora, right now, would think he wants mind reading, but he doesn't. No.

SavyDes-Etages:

He doesn't want that.

Chase Corbin:

He thinks he wants it. He does not want it. He would be even more unwell if he got mind reading.

Will Gwasera:

Yeah. He would just walk through Rango District and hear everyone saying, is that is that him, the crazy one? I swear he he's just not right in the head. And he'd be thinking, guys, I'm okay. I promise.

Will Gwasera:

And probably resort to violence once again.

SavyDes-Etages:

Oh. Oh. But

Will Gwasera:

very good answers there. I I was also thinking teleportation. I'm not gonna lie. That's that was another one. I answered

SavyDes-Etages:

that, I know. Like, if it was me, time time manipulation. If I could just pause time or slow it down, just get done all the things that I need to do in a day, that would be grand. Just like I

Chase Corbin:

would love that as long as computers still work when time is frozen.

SavyDes-Etages:

Yeah. That's That would be This is thing. When you actually get into how powers work because, I mean, the teleportation one, like, what if a border guard is like, how did you even get here? Like, do you need to take your passport? My goodness.

SavyDes-Etages:

When you think about the intricacies of these powers. But yeah, if I could like just pause time, but like things work, like I could still do things, like my chores or whatever. And then replay, I've not lost any time, but look how productive I've been.

Chase Corbin:

Guaranteed full night's sleep every night because you could just pause

SavyDes-Etages:

time and just

Will Gwasera:

never

SavyDes-Etages:

That's

Will Gwasera:

actually true.

SavyDes-Etages:

I'm telling you, time manipulation is the one.

Will Gwasera:

That is one

SavyDes-Etages:

of them.

Will Gwasera:

Yeah. See, okay. Let me let me Personally,

Eva Long:

for me, I would say Mhmm. Speed. Super speed.

Will Gwasera:

Yeah. Super speed because it's

Eva Long:

It's one of the classic ones. However, I mean, you think about it. You never have to spend money on transportation costs. You can go from point a to b, so it kinda takes away it's kind of like teleportation in

SavyDes-Etages:

a way.

Eva Long:

It's just and you would get good exercise out of it. I'm all about good exercise, so I'm I'm good

Will Gwasera:

about it. Yeah.

SavyDes-Etages:

I feel like you're not I feel. Seconds.

Chase Corbin:

See, That's the one of those, like, asterisk things at the end of it because don't get me started on superpowers. There's a whole set we gotta make a third podcast for the superpowers. Podcast one

SavyDes-Etages:

is this, two is how

Chase Corbin:

much we love justice, three is this. Me ranting and gapping about superpowers and caveats around them for hours.

SavyDes-Etages:

Mhmm.

Chase Corbin:

But, like, there's so many different flavors of super speed, and there some are really good and some are really bad. And you gotta, like Yeah. Get the right one where it's like because you also gotta perceive things when you're moving How

Will Gwasera:

do perceive things? Do you need to eat more? Can your body withstand the speed?

SavyDes-Etages:

Do you actually have to be fit? Because it doesn't matter if I have super speed. I can't run to save my life. Will I just have the breath at the end of it? Of it.

Chase Corbin:

I could run a thousand miles, technically. Technically. I wouldn't be very fast at it, though. So, like, if I'm perceiving things in normals, it gets like at at a certain point, super speed just becomes time manipulation because That's true. Effectively pause time, but you still have to do all the running.

Chase Corbin:

But then there's, you know, there's all sorts of different flavors of it. Like, how fast are you gonna react to stuff while you're going at super speed? If you have to make a turn, how how durable and resistant is your body moving 80 miles per hour and then suddenly taking a right turn?

Eva Long:

Making that g four speed and then bam.

SavyDes-Etages:

It's over the time thing. Can make yourself seem, like, quicker. Because I always thought, I don't know if you had cross country in The US. Like, basically, running. A load of running in, like, PE.

SavyDes-Etages:

And I hated it because I just suck at running. And so I was always like, man, if I had time manipulation, I could just slow down time a little bit. Then I just do a nice little jog, and it looks like I'm super fast compared to everyone else kinda thing. But, like, it was actually okay. So I guess that's kind of running fast, but not really.

SavyDes-Etages:

That's just me slowing everyone else down so I don't seem as abysmal as I actually was with the whole thing. But yeah. Yeah. See?

Will Gwasera:

Okay. Now we'll get into the technical standpoint with powers. Let me let me know it out for a sec because there's one true power that I always go for, and that would be atom manipulation. Because with atom manipulation, you kinda got anything and everything you can do in the case that you can create things, you could kinda manipulate your atoms to move faster. It also means you can fly.

Will Gwasera:

You could lift things heavier. That's also it's like Truly,

SavyDes-Etages:

you need a fundamental understanding of

Chase Corbin:

Yeah.

SavyDes-Etages:

That's fair. That's fair. That's That's That's That's but could you put a person back together and have them work kind of thing?

Will Gwasera:

That's a fair I guess I'm going back to school. Like, I just You're gonna need

Chase Corbin:

a a doctorate in engineering

Will Gwasera:

so that you know how

Chase Corbin:

every single element of every single

SavyDes-Etages:

thing medicine. Right? Like, you can build a fully functioning heart or something.

Will Gwasera:

That's actually true. Yeah. There's a there's a lot of I never thought about that. So

SavyDes-Etages:

everyone only sees, like, the shiny side of the superpowers, but no

Will Gwasera:

one ever sees the light. I could dance.

Chase Corbin:

Birds have the power of flight. Like, they they still have to work for it.

Will Gwasera:

They still have to work for it. Yeah.

Chase Corbin:

It's about as annoying as us running, I imagine.

Will Gwasera:

Literally that. So, no. That's some good stuff.

SavyDes-Etages:

The Yascape

Eva Long:

Podcast, giving you a crisis since 2025.

SavyDes-Etages:

Literally. Like Let's bring one of the other robots in to really elaborate on the point.

Will Gwasera:

We'll bring my boy, Veetra. He'll really help, you know, our side of the story. I'm just saying. I'm just saying.

SavyDes-Etages:

And, again, look at you putting words in Veetra's I'm I'm I'm reserving judgment until he's in.

Chase Corbin:

Next podcast is Vitra and Odagard number 48.

Will Gwasera:

And they're they're gonna go

Chase Corbin:

over everything. They're gonna they're gonna dish all the best information.

Will Gwasera:

I love it. Okay. Final two questions we got. Number one is what side are you all rooting for? Okay.

Will Gwasera:

Alright. So I feel

SavyDes-Etages:

like there's probably gonna be a lot of bias here from from everyone's

Will Gwasera:

standpoint, but, you know, okay. I'll I'll speak I'll try and speak as much from the middle as I can. In terms of everything that goes on in the story, of course, we can't spoil things, but with everything that goes on in the story, I can understand Nobisura's point and how he became the person he is. Do I agree with the person he is? No.

Will Gwasera:

But I think that once you know, you're like, ah, okay. That makes sense why he's so cuckoo crazy. But the actions he kinda does from it, not justifiable. And for that reason is why, of course, I'm siding with Tanaka and Mia and trying to revolt against the older clan.

Chase Corbin:

Understandable.

Eva Long:

Yeah. I gotta say, I gotta be on Tanaka and Mia's side. I mean, as much as she loves the Oda clan, not really that much, but,

SavyDes-Etages:

you know, she You invite us here. You would break bread with you. You would say that to our faces.

Eva Long:

Just decide that does not kill the country. That's her stance. You know, as long as there can be, you know, some place where they can fit in without, you know, disrupting the, know, massive power balance that the Oda clan has, but making it better and safer for everybody living within Bianco food. I think that's where her stance is, is making sure that the people are safe, sure that families are still intact, that they're not destroyed by what they have to live with on the everyday. That's her stance is working for the little man.

Will Gwasera:

Exactly. It's a perfect stance by it. Now let's hear the Otis. Oh, boy.

SavyDes-Etages:

Gonna take it away?

Chase Corbin:

Okay. So if I'm speaking from Nobosora's perspective, obviously, I feel like he's rooting for his own side, which I think in his mind is also everyone's side. I'm not saying he's right about that perspective, but the country in which he rules is representative of the totality of the people in it. And, yeah, there's gotta be a lot of people at the top who do things to make things happen. Heavy is the head that wears the crown.

Chase Corbin:

Sometimes you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet. Sometimes you have to do hard things for the greater good of of things to keep things running. And fighting a war is is going to be easier than ruling a country. You can you can overthrow the government, but what does it become when it's been overthrown? Do you does Tanaka know how to govern?

Chase Corbin:

Does he understand tax law? Does he understand our our various treaties with other countries and who's on our side and who's not? Has he, has he ever thought about if this tower comes falling down, what it means for the people underneath it, the rubble that will fall and who it will fall upon, that there's other forces side of Nihon Koku who might be interested in its remains once it's been overthrown. It might not all be nice and happy and fun if if things are overthrown. It might not be a happy ending.

Chase Corbin:

And maybe what's currently going on is the best story. But speaking from my personal experience as the actor, take them out. Take them out.

SavyDes-Etages:

Take them out.

Will Gwasera:

Take them out. It's it needs to be taken down.

SavyDes-Etages:

It's a pure metamorphic. It's terrible.

Chase Corbin:

We need revolutionary change in this in

SavyDes-Etages:

this Neo Goku. We need

Chase Corbin:

to improve things for the people.

Will Gwasera:

Very valid. Very valid.

SavyDes-Etages:

I guess my PR response is, wait. Just because we have one slightly rotten egg doesn't mean that the entire odour omelet is bad. And then maybe if we just remove that one little bit, then everything is fine. And let's just keep us in control because as we said earlier, all the all the people seem to love it here. And, like, the city is amazing and whoo.

SavyDes-Etages:

Yeah. I think for Ayanna's actual, like, stances, team Ayanna. Like, I I think she's just there, like, she knows that the situation is untenable and her bro is crazy, and she doesn't necessarily have any loyalty to to that. But equally, whether or not that automatically means she's the perfect ally for a load of insurgents and revolutionaries, I'm not sure. I think she'd just take the most pragmatic path of, like, whichever one benefits me in the moment, and if that could also benefit the nation, wonderful.

SavyDes-Etages:

But I don't know if she's very much rah rah, evolution is definitely the way to go for kind of the reasons that were expanded upon earlier. Team me is like, bitch, I'll take the crown. Like, give it to I know. Like, she'll be the queen. Like, we we we don't need no revolution.

SavyDes-Etages:

Just like, I'm just gonna push my bro aside, and then we'll just have a new era, baby. So and that's my self interested. I'm here for the Ayina goes rogue option.

Will Gwasera:

Mhmm. Ace. New story path. I didn't even see that one coming. Yes.

SavyDes-Etages:

She's been running things behind the scenes for ages. Knows how it works. Like, she she you just need a calm head at this like, ahead of Nihon Koku. Everything's fine. And Mhmm.

SavyDes-Etages:

That is me, and that is why I, Ain Oda, I'm running for president. You don't get a vote, actually, but we'll call me a president if you feel better. Fuck, dude. It's happening again.

Chase Corbin:

My god. Lost Descendants episode two history repeats itself. History.

SavyDes-Etages:

That's all history is. It's all I'm telling

Will Gwasera:

you. It's the bloodline. It's just in the blood, bro. Oh gosh. Okay.

Will Gwasera:

And finally, to wrap this off, what's your favorite part about your character? This could be either design. This could be personality stuff, up to you guys. I will say for myself with Tanaka Yasuke, his favorite oh, my favorite thing about him, it might have to be it's gotta be the stances, the animal stances because very much in the case of being able to switch between the the lion, cheetah, and rhino and the fact that changes his attack patterns, how quick or how heavy he hits, it just it has a different kind of source to it. And, you know, no bias whatsoever, definitely not from myself or the team.

Will Gwasera:

Cheetah is the best start. But, hey, I just think that's that that's gotta be my favorite part is the different the different fighting styles with him.

Eva Long:

Real. I gotta say this from a Mia standpoint, and this is from when Willy told me a lot about her, and you immediately picked up on certain things about me. And I'm

Will Gwasera:

like Yeah.

Eva Long:

I feel called out. She's a huge wrestling fan. People didn't know that Mia likes wrestling and then Yep. That I like wrestling. And then I was like, woah.

Eva Long:

Okay.

Will Gwasera:

It's made to be.

SavyDes-Etages:

Feel a

Eva Long:

little called out with that.

Will Gwasera:

Litual.

SavyDes-Etages:

Yeah. I feel like

Eva Long:

Mia is just a very different personification of myself in the sense that she does things that's right. And, you know, but I think her parkour is gonna be one of my favorite things. She is

SavyDes-Etages:

the best. She's just

Eva Long:

so athletic and things things I wanna be more like Mia. And then things that are more like Mia are part of me.

SavyDes-Etages:

So I think that's really cool.

Will Gwasera:

You really are Mia. We love to hear

SavyDes-Etages:

I know.

Chase Corbin:

It's a Mia.

SavyDes-Etages:

It's a Mia.

Chase Corbin:

As far as things that I I really like about Nobosora, I there's so much psychologically going on with this character and the he creates so much tension in the narrative with what he has going on and there's it's it's so interesting to see his path and like, his his arc in the story and, like, things that have gone in the past and see, like, oh, if this step had played differently, we'd be on a different timeline. If this step had played differently, we'd be on a different timeline. Like, so many of his, like, decisions and his mindset and how he wants to operate are are, like, just really interesting to see. He's a very, a very tragic character in a way, like, literally tragic. Not like I don't feel sorry for him in in so many ways, but, like, the a thing of, like, you know, things things aren't working great for him in so many different ways, and he has so many different so many different failings and errors and flaws that make him very interesting to to perceive in in the narrative.

Chase Corbin:

I think he's he's very fun to watch from the outside. I would never grab a drink with him. You know? He's he's he's very, very interesting to see where where he's going narratively. And I I obviously love his character design.

Chase Corbin:

I love love the metal arm. He's a winter soldier made in Marvel rivals.

Will Gwasera:

You know, fun fact, whilst writing Nobisura's story, there were so many nights while I'm there, I'm like, how could I make Nobisura's life worse? And

SavyDes-Etages:

that's kind of the basis it went with, where I was

Will Gwasera:

like, okay, this is bad, but it could be worse. And then, you know, it kinda just built up from that. And, hey, it's part of why I love him. He has quite the interesting backstory. See, now with you guys' answers, I'm like, you guys really delve in deep into your character.

Will Gwasera:

I'm like, I like how he fights.

SavyDes-Etages:

Tanaka. If that's what if that's what you like about it, though. No shame. No shame.

Will Gwasera:

I'll spin back to mine after. But Savi, I'll let you take take away your thing.

SavyDes-Etages:

I like the fact that she kind of operates in a, like, a middle space. Like, she's not clear cut, rah rah, insurgency, revolution. She's also not clear cut, Yas, Team Oda. She I think the possibilities that she has from a narrative point of view are very interesting. The fact that she does have people in the Oda clan that did treat her well and were nice to her, like her stepmother.

SavyDes-Etages:

And but the fact that she obviously used to be friends with Tanaka and Mia, I think she's one of those characters that could go in so many directions just purely because her allegiance isn't necessarily set in stone and is more liable to flip flop. So, yeah, I I think I like the the malleability that she has and that she could she she could almost be anything at this point from a narrative point of view depending on how a certain thing might go. And I think that's really interesting that she's in this, like, middle, almost endless possibility space.

Will Gwasera:

Yeah. That's very true. And it's actually funny the same way you're saying with, like, how Chase said with Oda, the small decisions changed how his life goes. And in that same case, exactly the same thing can happen with Aina. We don't

SavyDes-Etages:

know what's She's almost further back from I guess her brother's more further along in the what's happened has happened to him already sort of thing.

Chase Corbin:

A cautionary tale.

SavyDes-Etages:

Yeah. A cautionary tale. Exactly. Whereas I think she's had some of those experiences, but hers haven't been as, I guess, wholly negative as her brother's. So I guess there is a way that she could end up converting to the Oda calls.

SavyDes-Etages:

There's also a way she could end up being like a super ally to Tanaka. There's also a way she could just do something else entirely. I think that's what I mean is like she as this narrative currently unfolds, I think will impact her more as opposed to having her course and path set because her backstory has kind of already informed her who she is. She's got more flexibility in that sort of sense, I think.

Will Gwasera:

Exactly. Yeah. Perfect answer with that. Damn, guys. See, now I need to run back and go with my answer with Tanaka because, you know, he fights good.

Will Gwasera:

Oh my gosh.

SavyDes-Etages:

Jerry, are you gonna get Jerry to take the house? Jerry's gonna just no. I never said the fighting stuff. I never said the

Will Gwasera:

fighting stuff. Okay. If we go a bit deeper into Tanaka's character and, like, actually what you know, again, on the on the basis, I I'm not I'm a stand by what I said. I love the way he fights. But one of one of the main things with Tanaka's character is the fact that he fights for what's right.

Will Gwasera:

That's kind of like even in our game design document, that's one of the statements that were is like, use the power to fight for what's right because that's his old ideology. He's trying to the same way Eva was saying with Mia, fight, like, help the little person, help the little guy. Try to help this country out from the, you know, doctrination that it's currently been going through, whilst also uncovering more of his story, of his origins, things that he doesn't understand fully. And that's the reason why the game's called Yasuke Lost Descendant because there is obviously ties to the real life Yasuke and that is part of things that we will come to learn. So seeing his story, how it unfolds and the kind of character progression, that is also a major thing.

Will Gwasera:

Obviously, you guys won't know until you play the game, but Tanaka's personality and character and aspect is drastically different by the end of the game versus how it is at the beginning. Because he obviously needs to learn a lot of different morals. He needs to learn sometimes you can't do things the way you wanna do them, or what is the stakes that need to be, you know, taken or had to be able to save the day or whatever it may be. So seeing Tanaka having to conflict and fight with his own morals originally to change into someone else that will help save the day or whatever it could be. This is part of the stuff that I really enjoy with Tanaka's character.

Will Gwasera:

And because it goes a lot deeper than the, obviously, right now on the forefront is kind of, you know, usual main character protagonist, that sort of thing. But it's a lot more than that. And it's gonna showcase that with the decisions you'll see him make, the sort of interactions he'll have with different characters. You'll see the tone shift in interactions that he has with characters and there'll even be moments where you'll see Mia point out like you're kinda acting different than how you usually act or things like that. But again, it's just that sort of character progression, the personality, the deep dive into him trying to do what's right.

Will Gwasera:

That's my favorite part about Tanaka. And he also fights really cool.

SavyDes-Etages:

And that was definitely the first time that he gave everyone he didn't copy

Will Gwasera:

all the work

SavyDes-Etages:

after the You

Will Gwasera:

guys didn't hear any of this stuff. I definitely didn't, you know, write notes down of everyone else's answers. Nothing

Chase Corbin:

like that. And now we're gonna go back and edit in me saying, woulda got nice hair.

SavyDes-Etages:

And that's gonna be my answer

Chase Corbin:

is yours will be the very

SavyDes-Etages:

long one. Yep. Yep.

Will Gwasera:

Mhmm. Gotta be sophisticated. You know? But one small thing design wise, I love his earrings, mask, and necklace. Mhmm.

Will Gwasera:

Those absolutely amazing. And I actually really wanna see if we can get it done as much because I just wanna I wanna wear those. I mean, come on now. Who wouldn't So Honestly,

Eva Long:

that that that jacket is sick. I love the jacket.

Will Gwasera:

It is so really well designed. Thank you. Thank you. That one was because the jacket's

SavyDes-Etages:

had a When when is the merch coming?

Will Gwasera:

Oh, you make a good point The time is suddenly You know, the cosplay definitely gotta happen. I definitely gotta cosplay as Tanaka because, I mean, yeah. I mean, I just imagine me showing up for one of the trailers or whatever it may be in a full Tanaka cosplay. Like, come on. That would be that would sick as So I don't know.

Will Gwasera:

We'll see, actually. I might have to start talking to some clothing companies, see if we can get anything in the works and potentially get, you know, the clothing done. Because even with Tanaka's clothing as a whole outside his jacket and whatnot, on his like skirt thing, I don't know what we call that piece of clothing, but whatever that extra bit is, Plus his shoes, there's actually a a brand on it, which is in Japanese characters, but in English that means psycho, to which the translation of that is actually supreme. So it's our world version of Supreme. So that you got some designer on.

Will Gwasera:

I'm just saying. So I think a a psycho clothing branch or clothing brand in real life would be pretty cool if you can get stuff like that down. So who knows? Much might be on the way, guys. We'll see.

Will Gwasera:

We'll see. She can

SavyDes-Etages:

get Mia's baseball bat for a limited time. Nice.

Will Gwasera:

That's all. Camilla is

Will Gwasera:

You know, that could be in the works right now as

SavyDes-Etages:

we speak. You can't let them know.

Will Gwasera:

Oh my gosh. But, no, I think that pretty much wraps up this episode one of the Yasuke Yapcast. Are we gonna do do we finalize with that name? Yasuke Yapcast?

SavyDes-Etages:

The Yapcast. At the Yapcast.

Chase Corbin:

New name of the episode.

SavyDes-Etages:

True. We'll figure it out.

Will Gwasera:

But, nah, this is yeah. The first insight to this, you get to hear from us, the VAs. See, you'll get new questions each time. And obviously, as this progresses, you guys can bring in some questions and we may answer them in the future ones. So, you know, leave any questions you guys might have.

SavyDes-Etages:

I like how you said May. If if we just don't want to, we're better

Will Gwasera:

than you.

SavyDes-Etages:

We just weren't.

Will Gwasera:

You're right. You're right. Leave some questions, and we'll answer them. The only thing is because, like, we could get some weird questions. You never know.

SavyDes-Etages:

That's true. That's very true. And we can't do spoilery ones.

Will Gwasera:

Exactly. So we'll judge on the question you give us, and then we we we may or may not answer them. And, of course, you'll have guest characters every now and some other cast people. You'll come to find some new cast being revealed through the radio show as well. So hope you guys all stay excited for that.

Will Gwasera:

And any final things from you guys to say and, you know, your thoughts on this podcast going forward?

Chase Corbin:

Thanks for having me.

SavyDes-Etages:

Nice for listening. Yeah.

Chase Corbin:

If you made to this point, comment something weird in the comments. Throw off the algorithm. Wait.

Will Gwasera:

We should actually think of something that they could comment.

SavyDes-Etages:

Oh, that has nice headlight. That when?

Will Gwasera:

No. The truth. Okay.

SavyDes-Etages:

Two things.

Eva Long:

Their danketsu's would be or what power would they want?

Will Gwasera:

See, I would what people

Eva Long:

say about that.

Will Gwasera:

You make a good point. We were thinking ridiculous things, but that's actually a good one. Yeah. If you made it this far into the podcast, let us know what your danketsu power would be and why. And again, we're gonna be technical about it.

Will Gwasera:

So if you choose something like super speed, we're gonna say, are you able to actually with handle that

SavyDes-Etages:

super speed?

Chase Corbin:

Or you

Will Gwasera:

know? So give all

SavyDes-Etages:

Chase Corbin:

SavyDes-Etages:

Why wasn't it?
