We open on the Bleach conversation everybody is arguing about: did Orihime have the most talked about moment of the cour, or was it Ichigo? Then we get into whether Rukia actually contributed anything in the final stretch and why Toshiro still cannot escape the slander.After that it is three warm up games. An Orihime gauntlet where we run her against Noelle, Yoruichi, Saber and more. A full Ichigo transformation tier list where democracy loses badly. And a live 1 through 10 ranking of Dragon Ball Z, One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, Jujutsu Kaisen, My Hero Academia, Demon Slayer, Black Clover, Solo Leveling and Hunter x Hunter.Main event is the 2010s anime draft. Ten spots, one decade, and a lot of casualties.Then the take that split the room: is the One Piece God Valley movie going to be in the GOAT anime movie conversation with Spirited Away, Akira and Princess Mononoke?

  Spider-Man Brand New Day Is OVERRATED and GTA 6 on Netflix Is Robbery | Open Dojo 08.08.2026 3sa 53dk

  https://linktr.ee/blacksenseisocietySPOILER WARNING: Spider-Man Brand New Day spoilers run from 8:40 to about 35:00. One Piece Elbaf and Wano spoilers hit around 3:07:00. Skip ahead if you are not caught up.Santo and Miles came in with the radio voice on and did not let up for four hours. Tom Holland just dropped the biggest Spider-Man opening ever and the fellas are not buying the "best Spidey movie ever" narrative, so we broke down the villain problem, the Tobey vs Andrew vs Tom ranking, and where this actually lands in the Holland run. Then Rockstar decided to lock the GTA 6 extended look behind a Netflix subscription with a 100 dollar Ultimate Edition already on the table, and the panel had thoughts. In between: a two hour music war over what even counts as a rap album, Drake vs Kendrick top five cases, Jay Z, Uzi, Kodak, the R&B GOATs, and a Beyonce vs Taylor Swift aura debate that got the super chats going. Plus One Piece Elbaf, Kyrie slander, and a full fighting game tangent into Marvel Tokon and EVO.Hot Takes and Vybez.
