The Megumi "Bum" Debate: The hosts break down the latest Jujutsu Kaisen action, focusing on the Megumi vs. Reggie Star fight. They discuss Megumi's "Toji-esque" anime design and a controversial censorship choice that makes Megumi seem more "simpish" than his manga counterpart. Yuta vs. Yuji: Who is the better protagonist? Alonzo and Jason debate the emotional weight of Yuji’s struggle versus Yuta’s overwhelming power and tragic backstory.

JoJo’s Multiverse & Rankings: The guys take a trip through JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, ranking their favorite parts from the classic Stardust Crusaders to the alternate reality of Steel Ball Run. Find out why Part 4 is at the bottom of their list and why they still have a soft spot for the beginnings of the Joestar lineage.
