CC kicks off the episode by reviewing a slightly different “creator-meets-creation” isekai in Zenshu. After that, John brings back the edgy 00s energy and talks about the violent fantasy revenge tale Übel Blatt. Last but not least, CC returns to the genre of sports and fawns over the double-flavored underdog story of Medalist.
