1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,200
Have you ever felt like you've been called to do more with your life? Or maybe on the other end,
2
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:10,240
you thought, I don't have to worry about anything because someone else is going to handle it.
3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:16,320
You know, I don't have to be great because someone else is greater. I don't have to give
4
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:20,560
because someone else is going to give. I don't have to fight because someone else is going to fight.
5
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:26,960
Or maybe you feel like, okay, I do need to fight, but I don't know how. I don't even know where to
6
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:32,720
begin. And today we're going to take a look at really both scenarios where you want to,
7
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:37,920
you don't know how. And for those of us who don't feel like we need to because someone else is.
8
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,880
And for this episode, it's going to be a little different, a little special because I'm going over
9
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:49,520
two characters who exhibit both aspects of this and how it ties into essentially untapped potential.
10
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:57,040
And I'm talking about Gohan and Broly.
11
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,680
Hey, what's going on guys? My name is Nate and you're listening to the Otaku Liberation,
12
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,800
a show where we help you break free from the chains that will hold you back in your life
13
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,320
by connecting some biblical principles for themes from your favorite anime.
14
00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:23,680
Enough of that to do, let's get into it. So I'm going to start off with Gohan because he's a little more
15
00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:32,160
established in the series. And for those of you who don't know about Gohan in Dragon Ball,
16
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:39,280
it's been said multiple times in the series itself, as well as by fans and even the writers that
17
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:44,560
Gohan has the most potential. He has the potential to be the strongest character
18
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,800
in the entire series, even stronger than Goku, who we all know is the current
19
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:54,000
pretty much strongest in all honesty. I don't count Beerus and all of them later on, but
20
00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:02,880
Gohan has the potential to be stronger than anyone that we've ever seen. And he's kind of
21
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:08,080
shown it a couple of times throughout the series where if he puts his mind to it, if he really
22
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:18,080
gets pushed into a corner and he has to rise to the occasion, he does in Bensong. Back in the early
23
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:25,520
episode of Dragon Ball Z, against Raditz, Gohan was captured as part of Raditz's plan to bring
24
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:30,880
Goku there so they could fight. Gohan got mad enough that Raditz was beating up his dad that he
25
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:37,760
came out in almost one shot at Raditz himself. Fast forward to when Gohan fought Cell, same,
26
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:44,720
same thing. He got pushed to a point that he was beyond his comfort zone, beyond what he thought
27
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:50,480
he was willing to go. He had to tap into that level of strength that he honestly didn't even
28
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:57,520
know was inside of him. And then again with Buu and then later on in the Super and things like
29
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:06,640
that. So Gohan has a very similar pattern. He's the same pattern each and every time. He doesn't
30
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:16,000
live up to his potential until he's forced to. He doesn't take into account his own strength.
31
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:25,600
And there's really three main points I want to go over for this analysis of Gohan. And the first is
32
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:32,480
his reluctance. So you know what I mean by that? So again, to get an idea of that, we got to look
33
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:38,640
at Sans as a whole, right? Because Gohan is half. He's half human, half Sans. And Sans as a whole,
34
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:45,680
they are a warrior race who live, breathe, and die fighting. That's what they do. That's all they
35
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:55,760
want to do and that's just them. That's what the whole shtick of the species is. And in the case of
36
00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:04,000
in the case of hybrids, that's not as prominent, or what's the word, it's not as prominent area
37
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:12,080
in the hybrids than it is in their full-blooded Sans parents, right? And Gohan's even more special
38
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:18,560
cases where he really doesn't like fighting at all. And part of that is just from his past battles,
39
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,720
you know, influences his outlook on fighting. Because Gohan, he's been fighting since he was
40
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:27,680
like five years old, like early on until you guys and the Raditz came. I believe Gohan was like five,
41
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:34,080
four or five at the time. And since that moment, since that day, up until where we are now,
42
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:40,320
Gohan's in his like 20s. He's been fighting and not just, you know, you know, running the mill,
43
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:46,160
you know, backyard brawls or whatnot. You know, he's fighting beings that can destroy the Earth,
44
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:52,560
destroy the universe at times. And it's up to him and then the rest of the cast to put a stop to it.
45
00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:58,560
And because of that, as he's gotten older, he realized how much he actually hates fighting.
46
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:04,400
You know, he doesn't like it. He doesn't want to do it at all. Regardless of the fact that he's
47
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:10,720
good at it, he's gifted at it, no less. I mean, again, like I already said, he has the potential
48
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:18,880
to be even better than his dad who is considered the goat, right? And what the way you look at it
49
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:25,680
is, is again, back to the whole thing of our past traumas, where something happened in our past
50
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:31,680
that whether we could control or that we couldn't control, but something happened and it traumatizes
51
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:38,000
so deeply that it's keeping us from moving forward. It's keeping us from really living.
52
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:44,960
And sometimes it's not as obvious as you want to think, you know, some traumatic experiences
53
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:50,720
has a safety mechanism. Our brain is just actually just shut it off. Like we can't recall it
54
00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:58,000
as vividly as we can some other type of memories, right? And so you may not even be aware of
55
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:06,000
what quote unquote traumatized you, what is holding you down, holding you back, right?
56
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,800
I mean, it could be something that you didn't even do. It could be something that your parents did,
57
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:16,240
right? Whether to you or for you, because they thought it was the best decision at the time,
58
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,480
but it turned out it wasn't, right? I mean, they're human too. They make mistakes just like the rest
59
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:28,720
of us and always get it right. And unfortunately, sometimes that means it's detrimental to the child.
60
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:35,200
And so it could be anything like that. It can be anything. It could be you, you know, you
61
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:42,160
know, you decided to go off on your own. I mean, it's maybe start a business or you want to,
62
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:47,120
you move out to your parents' house sooner than, honestly, than you were ready to, but you just
63
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:52,560
decided this is it. I don't want to be here anymore. I'm gone. And it didn't work out,
64
00:06:53,600 --> 00:07:00,400
right? Because life happens. We have our failures. And I mean, sometimes we have our setbacks
65
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:06,800
and they can really do a number on your mentality if A, you're not used to it because you're not
66
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:11,840
used to going out and trying different things. You're not used to really putting yourself out
67
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:16,160
there. So when the losses do come, they hit harder because, you know, you're not calloused to it.
68
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:20,400
You're not used to it. Just like with anything else we do in life, whether it's a sport, whether
69
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:28,560
it's lifting, it's a, it's a, it's a certain skill, you know, the more you practice it, the better
70
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:33,280
you're going to get at it. And the less often, less frequent that the failures are going to come
71
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,360
and the less impactful that are going to be when they do come because you're used to it at that
72
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,520
point. You're like, okay, I know what this is, or at least I have an idea of what this is,
73
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:46,240
what it feels like. So now I can not have to worry about it as much, you know, take what I can learn
74
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:51,440
from it and then we can go forward. Now, again, for certain things, it's easier said than done.
75
00:07:51,440 --> 00:08:03,040
Some things are very, very intense, for lack of a better word. And, and, and those are the type
76
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:07,360
of things that we can't move on from by ourselves, right? That's where a community comes in or,
77
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,640
and it can just be one person, right? It can just be one person. Cause I'm very much a person,
78
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:18,800
type of person who only has, you know, two to three really, really, really good friends at a time.
79
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,480
You know, I'm not the one who says I'm friends with everybody because I'm not,
80
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:28,320
I'm just being honest, I'm not, I'm, I'm quite have a lot of acquaintances, you know, from school and
81
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:35,040
work and what have you. And yeah, sure. You know, they're cool people. I like to think I'm cool and
82
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:40,160
cordial towards them too, but I wouldn't consider them friends, you know, just friendly. And,
83
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:46,320
but I do have a couple of friends who are more like family to me, right? Who I know I can go to
84
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:50,960
them for pretty much anything. And then vice versa. And then we just have each other's back like that.
85
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:55,920
That's what I'm talking about. You need to have someone who, who can help you get past the dark
86
00:08:55,920 --> 00:09:01,040
and troubling times. The ones that are in the present and the ones that are in your past.
87
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:06,080
And again, it really just comes down to you digging deep and seeing how you can move past,
88
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:14,240
move past the, the trauma, the chains, the things that are tying you down, right? Because again,
89
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:18,800
you're never, we're never going to move forward. The world is the world is working. Keep on spending
90
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,960
a time to move forward, but you're not, and you're going to get left behind and then wonder,
91
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,600
you know, wake up one day and just wonder, man, what happened? What did I do with my life?
92
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:33,040
You know, I don't, I don't want you, I don't want you to, to have to ask that question. I want you
93
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:39,360
to, to open up your eyes one day and just be like, you know what? I did it. I did that thing,
94
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:45,120
whatever, whatever it is, whatever, you know, goal or scenario that you're trying to do,
95
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:50,480
you're trying to have, you know, the life, the life that you want to live. I want you to,
96
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:57,200
on your deathbed, just be at peace knowing that you did what you set out to do. And
97
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:02,960
honestly, the first step of that is to, is knowing how to let go of the past so you can move forward.
98
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:11,760
Right. And for Gohan, it was, it was, it wasn't, it wasn't so much a straight shot, right, from
99
00:10:12,560 --> 00:10:20,000
letting go of his reluctance of fighting and, you know, his hatred for battle or, you know,
100
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:24,880
or dislike, I can't really say hatred, it's dislike for fighting, right? Because he went from being
101
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:31,760
reluctant to next thing being complacent. He became very complacent later on in the series,
102
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:38,400
because again, how Goku and Vegeta have kept leveling up over time to this point. Now,
103
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:43,040
they're two of the strongest fighters in the series, right? There's not a lot of things that
104
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:48,640
could handle one of them, let alone both of them when they're fighting together, right? So in Gohan's
105
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:54,400
mind, he feels like he doesn't have to train because Goku and Vegeta are going to take care
106
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,800
of everything, right? He doesn't have to do anything because someone else is going to swoop
107
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:06,880
in and save the day, right? And that's a, that's a very slippery slope for a lot of us, because
108
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:15,120
if you're, if you spend so much time waiting for somebody else to come save the day, then the day
109
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:20,720
is never going to get saved, right? Because what if, what if the person you're waiting on is waiting
110
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:28,080
on you, right? Think about that. What if you're that hero that someone else is waiting on, but you,
111
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,080
you decide to sit back, put your hands up and say, oh, it's not my problem. Someone else, someone
112
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:39,520
else has it, right? And, and again, you just lose it now. So many people are losing out because
113
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,880
whether you're afraid or you're complacent, but either would, the end result is you're not,
114
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:50,080
you're not putting yourself out there. You're not challenging yourself to, to level up, to
115
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:56,400
really tap into that potential that you have inside you. And then you just, you just figure
116
00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:02,720
someone else would do some things that you don't have to. I mean, it's, one, it's selfish, right?
117
00:12:03,680 --> 00:12:08,640
And honestly, it's selfish. And I can speak on these things because I, I've personally gone
118
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:13,280
through that a couple of times in my life. I'm, I'm, I'm more of the type of person who likes to be
119
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:19,040
in the back and kind of observe and watch how things unfold. I'm not really wanting to quickly
120
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:24,160
jump ahead of things or jump in front of things saying, yep, I'll do it. And I was like that,
121
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,240
honestly, the majority of my life going through school and stuff like that. It really wasn't
122
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:34,800
until I started working like out in the real world with a real job that it kind of shifted.
123
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:41,280
I know I like it, it helped it happened a little bit. And towards the end of my college too,
124
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,240
with a bunch of group projects with people who, you know, we've all been there in group projects,
125
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:50,960
not everyone does their part. And sometimes you end up doing the whole group project by yourself,
126
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:57,280
right? And that's no, but I mean, that's an excellent example of those who don't do
127
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:02,960
their part of the assignment. They're part of the group. They're the ones who are complacent to say
128
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:07,920
someone else is going to do it. Whether or not the group fails or not, they don't, they don't,
129
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:12,720
they don't really care until the due date is the next day. And then everyone's looking around like,
130
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:17,680
I thought you were doing something. No, I thought you were, I thought you were. And no one took that
131
00:13:17,680 --> 00:13:23,760
first step. No one took hold of the reins and said, look, this is what we're going to do.
132
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:28,320
This is the part I'm doing, this is the part you're doing. No one wanted to step into that
133
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:36,080
leadership role and now you're all going to suffer. It's the same thing with life and beyond just our
134
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:43,040
own personal lives, right? If no one is willing to take on the burden and the responsibility of
135
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:47,200
being a leader, of being a trend center, being a trailblazer, whatever you want to call it,
136
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:52,080
of being the first or being the next, right? It doesn't have to be the first. You can be the next.
137
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:56,080
If no one is willing to do that, then, then we're just doomed.
138
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:04,800
No, honestly, man, we are, we are screwed. We are screwed for real. And, and I just, I really want
139
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:10,720
you guys to really sit, sit back and think about it. You know, I don't want you to be someone who
140
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:15,760
just sits on the sideline forever, because at some point you got to get in the game. I'm sorry. You,
141
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:21,440
you have to, you have to get in. Just like Gohan. He, he doesn't have the luxury of sitting on a
142
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:27,600
sideline every time, you know, just because Goku and Vegeta are around doesn't mean he, he doesn't
143
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:34,720
need to do his due diligence to stay in shape, to stay in fighting shape, to be ready if he, if he
144
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:41,280
needs to be called upon. Case of point is the last Ark in Super is the Tournament of Power or the
145
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:47,440
superhero movie, which, you know, it centered around Gohan and Piccolo that, I mean, in case of
146
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:53,040
point, in the movie, Goku and Vegeta were off world, so they couldn't, they couldn't get back
147
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:57,760
to earth in time to deal with the threat. So it was up to Piccolo and Gohan, who were the strongest
148
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:04,880
ones left on earth to, you know, stop, stop the villains. And it wasn't until the end of the movie
149
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:10,320
that Gohan finally, you know, decided to take his nose out of the book and do something about it.
150
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:18,400
Right. Despite Piccolo trying to warn him multiple times, but prior to the movie. But, but again,
151
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:25,760
so once you get past your complacency stage, next is your acceptance, is the acceptance.
152
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:32,400
And Gohan decided again to come out of quote unquote retirement, his retirement from martial
153
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:38,640
art days to essentially defend the world because he's the only one who could do it. He's the only
154
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,960
one that could. And not sure Piccolo was there, he was doing his best, but at the end of the day,
155
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:49,600
Gohan is one, stronger than him. And, you know, two, Gohan is the only one who could really put the
156
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:55,360
final nail in the coffin. And what that means for us is that we finally come to a point where we
157
00:15:55,360 --> 00:16:03,120
accept our gift and our responsibility to use that gift correctly. So once you come to terms with
158
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:08,720
really who you are, what you're good at, what your gifts are, you know, once you took the time,
159
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:13,840
you discovered your weapon, right? Those who listened to season one talking about Blue Lock,
160
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:21,440
you found your weapon, you found your talent, you honed it, you mastered it to the pinnacle
161
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:27,600
of what you think you can use it at the current time, right? And now it's all about execution,
162
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,920
right? You're going to execute and do whatever it is that you call it to do. I don't know what
163
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:38,560
you're calling the life is. And you may not even know, that's where prayer comes in, right? But
164
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:44,720
at the end of the day, it comes down to your choice, right? All of our choice. We have to choose
165
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:52,800
to, we have to choose to move. And honestly, as crazy as that sounds, we have to choose to move
166
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:57,600
with purpose, to move in our purpose. And we can't sit on the sidelines forever.
167
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:03,360
Just begging someone else to come save us, to come save the day. And we can't, we can't dwell on the
168
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:10,240
past from our past failures. We can't let our past failures dictate our present choices, right?
169
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:16,000
Again, I'm always, I'm going to, I always say to take what you can and learn what you can from your
170
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,360
past mistakes, from past failures, because there's always something to learn. Because that helps you
171
00:17:19,360 --> 00:17:24,240
get better going forward, right? So you don't make the same thing, same mistake over and over and
172
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:32,160
over and over and over again. But we can't dwell there. We can't stay there. Because if, just think
173
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:38,000
about it this way, if your lack of decision, your lack of making a choice, can never really make the
174
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:45,360
choice for somebody else, right? Because then, and again, again, I'm a Christian. And so we,
175
00:17:45,360 --> 00:17:50,320
we're taught to go out and save lost souls, right? To save people, to get to know, get to know Jesus
176
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:57,600
Christ and not just know him, but to accept him as, you know, as a Lord and Savior, right? To,
177
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:02,560
to help get them up into heaven and to really, and just to rejoice with them, right? If,
178
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:09,440
if we're too afraid of the next, no, someone say, no, I don't want to do that. No, you guys are weird.
179
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:13,760
You know, nope, I've been to a mega church, quote unquote, and you guys more of like a cult,
180
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:19,120
you know, whatever, whatever the reason someone may have to tell you, no, right? If you are too
181
00:18:19,120 --> 00:18:27,360
afraid to ask the question again, because the last 50 knows that the next person might've said yes,
182
00:18:27,360 --> 00:18:35,360
and they might've, might've been saved, right? And, and it's the same, it's the same type thing all,
183
00:18:35,360 --> 00:18:41,280
all the way around. If we're too afraid to make a decision, then we just, we just never know.
184
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:46,720
We don't, we don't know how many lives we're impacting with every decision that we make each
185
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:52,000
and every day, especially when it comes to living in our purpose and, and going with,
186
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,240
and going with a purpose, right? Going through this life with something in mind outside of
187
00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:01,200
ourselves, something in mind outside of our comfort zone, what we're used to, and really,
188
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:11,120
really just living and enjoying life, man. Because even beyond just, just helping other people and,
189
00:19:11,120 --> 00:19:16,800
and, you know, lifting them up and things like that, at the center of it all is, are you,
190
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:22,800
are you enjoying your life? Are you really living? Seriously, because are you really living just
191
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:27,920
sitting on a sideline, twiddling your thumb, too afraid to move forward because you've been burned
192
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:33,840
too many times, too afraid to move on to the next job, the next relationship, the next business idea,
193
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:40,160
the next whatever, because the last one, the last two, the last five, the last 10 didn't work out.
194
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:44,720
Cheers. I mean, the thing about all the people out there who are successful, the people that we look
195
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:50,000
at on TV, you know, or listen to on the radio, that we hear from their songs, their albums, you
196
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:55,920
know, the professional sports players that we see on TV all the time, you know, you think they would
197
00:19:55,920 --> 00:20:01,920
be there if they let, you know, all the bad plays they did, all the bad songs they wrote, all the,
198
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:09,280
you know, bad movie scripts, TV, you know, whatever, if they let all those things, you know,
199
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:14,320
all those things, hold them back, get in their way, and it made them too afraid to move forward.
200
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:18,720
You really think we would have what we have today? You think as many people will be enjoying the
201
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:27,040
Marvel Cinematic Universe if, honestly, if Stan Lee and co. way back in the day decided, you know
202
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:32,480
what, comics aren't for us. I'm sure they had some bad ones, right? Not all of them are hits.
203
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,880
And if they decided way back then, you know, nope, call it quits, I'm gonna try something else,
204
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:40,240
because this, even though I'm really, really passionate about it, I really think I have
205
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:45,520
something here, I feel this calling on, you know, me publishing these comics, me creating these
206
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:52,080
comics, but these flops, I don't want to deal with it anymore. And then that's it. That was it. We
207
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:57,920
wouldn't have, I think my life would have changed so much because, you know, Spider-Man is my favorite
208
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:02,640
hero. Anyway, I don't want to go off on that tangent too much, but you just really, it's something to
209
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:09,440
think about, right? To not be so complacent, to be just, not to be content with being a background
210
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:13,920
character. Because like I always say, we're the main characters of our own lives, the main characters
211
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:21,600
of our own stories. And I don't know about you, I don't want my story to be about me being a
212
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:28,080
side character. That's just not how it is. Not for me, not for me at least, right? And so,
213
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:34,880
and so the verse that kind of spoke to me when I was kind of delving into Gohan and really looking
214
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:44,400
at him as a character is Colossians chapter three, verse 23. And it says, whatever you do,
215
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:51,040
do it from the heart. It's something done for the Lord and not for people. Which pretty much says,
216
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:59,360
pretty much says, whatever you do, don't, you know, don't just go kind of lolligag through it.
217
00:21:59,360 --> 00:22:06,000
Don't just go through the emotion. Do it with purpose. Do it with a heart in the right place
218
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:13,200
for the right reason. Because in Gohan's case, he decides to actually fight and to train with some
219
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:18,560
effort, with a higher goal than just, you know, I'm not training, not fighting just to fight,
220
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:25,440
I'm fighting because, because there's a moral at stake, just my own life. There's more at stake
221
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:32,880
than just me losing a battle, right? I mean, he has a kid, he has a wife, because he has his father,
222
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:38,400
his mother, his brother, you know, Pagelow, Vegeta, all of them. He has everyone who's depending on
223
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:47,920
him. And him not, one, not doing it, not deciding to train, not to fight, as well as just kind of
224
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:54,720
going through the emotions and just really not really giving it all that's putting all of them,
225
00:22:54,720 --> 00:23:02,640
all of that at stake. And so, and I encourage you to find whatever it is that you feel like you're
226
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:07,360
called to do, because I think you know, by now you've listened to enough episodes, you've,
227
00:23:07,360 --> 00:23:13,360
you've listened, you've done enough deep work inside to know what you, what you're calling it,
228
00:23:13,360 --> 00:23:18,080
or at least have an idea of it. And whatever that is, I want you to go for it, go for it.
229
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:25,360
Go all in. Don't be afraid anymore. Don't sit back expecting somebody else to come do it for you.
230
00:23:25,360 --> 00:23:29,760
I really want you to accept what you have, what you've been blessed with, and go for it.
231
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:35,280
You know, just go all the way in. Whatever that looks like, however that looks like. Again,
232
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:41,840
I encourage you to pray on it, ask for guidance on it. And it's just, don't be afraid, because,
233
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:48,560
and again, we only have this one life, right? This one life here. And I encourage you just to
234
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:53,920
make the most of it, right? Just make the most of it. Make the most of it with smart decisions.
235
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,560
But really, just don't be afraid anymore. Don't, don't live that timid life, because I really
236
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:04,560
don't want you guys to. So, all right, so that's enough about Gohan. So let me shift gears a little
237
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:12,960
bit to another character whose idea around potential is a little different. Whereas with Gohan was
238
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:21,680
reluctant to use his potential, Broly never knew how to use his potential, right? He never knew how
239
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:28,880
to use his gift. He was never properly taught. And that's how this kind of ties in. So I really
240
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:35,200
want to do these two characters together, because it's the same concept of us using our potential,
241
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:42,000
using what we were gifted with, but from just the two different mindsets. One of reluctance and one
242
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:48,560
of misguidance, really. And which leads me to my first point for Broly, is Broly being misguided.
243
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:56,640
So, in regards to the iteration you use, whether it is the Dragon Ball Super version or the older
244
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:04,960
Dragon Ball Z version of Broly, it's pretty much the same MO. As in, Broly was raised, essentially,
245
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:13,040
to be a weapon of revenge. That's it. Again, for those who don't know about Broly, Broly's backstory.
246
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:19,840
So again, the Sand Race, Broly's another Sand, the Sand Race were actually killed off by
247
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:25,840
Frieza, who was pretty much a space lord, conqueror, whatever you want to call him.
248
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:36,480
And he blew up their home planet, planet Vegeta. And in both iterations of the story,
249
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:44,480
Broly and his father, Paragus, ended up surviving the genocide. But in both cases,
250
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:54,560
they were both betrayed by King Vegeta at the time, because Broly's innate power level was
251
00:25:54,560 --> 00:26:01,680
far superior out of anyone we've ever seen from such a young age. Because throughout the series,
252
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:07,440
a lot of the characters, they get stronger and they grow stronger through training, through life
253
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:12,880
experience, things like that. But they all have an innate baseline level that they're born with.
254
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:20,080
And Broly's, again, was massive. He was huge. He was over a lot of grown veteran soldiers.
255
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:27,600
And the king didn't like that because Vegeta, the Vegeta we know, who's Prince Vegeta, was just born.
256
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:33,840
And Broly's power level was even higher than his. So the king just couldn't have that. So he had
257
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:41,520
Broly, a first child, killed and eventually exiled off to the planet, which inadvertently
258
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:48,160
helped Broly and his father to survive the genocide. So that's a little bit of backstory.
259
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:57,120
So while they're on this abandoned planet, Paragus, Broly's father, is raising Broly essentially as,
260
00:26:57,120 --> 00:27:03,680
again, like I said, a weapon of revenge. He's using the boy's innate gift for his own
261
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:12,320
deferred purposes and really just want to enact his own sense of justice upon the royal family,
262
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:21,840
right? The Vegeta line or whatever you want to call it. And it really sucks because Broly is a
263
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:29,680
lot like Gohan in the fact that they're both gentle souls at heart. I'm not going to say he's not a
264
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:39,280
fighter because he is, but that's not the first thing on his mind. He's the only full-blooded
265
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:46,720
sand that I've seen who has such a soft disposition about him and soft in terms of he doesn't like to
266
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:53,200
fight. He doesn't want to fight if he doesn't have to. Training interests him, but does not end goal.
267
00:27:54,080 --> 00:28:03,200
He just wants to live and enjoy life, which is weird for sands, right? And so his father kind of
268
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:11,040
used that against him because Broly, trust me, loves his father, right? And he didn't really know
269
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:17,040
what the end goal was going to be, but Perigus took advantage of that, right? And I feel like
270
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:23,680
it's easy for us to essentially trust the wrong person or wrong people in our life and basically
271
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:29,120
give them the keys to our potential, the keys to our treasure, right? Thinking that they'll help us
272
00:28:29,120 --> 00:28:34,640
cultivate it, it'll keep us safe. But in reality, they just want to use you, right? Use you for your
273
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:41,520
own good deed. I remember reading a couple of things about child actors and actresses, right?
274
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:46,320
Where their parents are using their child's money because again, the child's too young to actually
275
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:50,800
use it in themselves. So it typically goes to their parents. So I believe it's like a trust fund or
276
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:55,920
something like that. I'm not exactly sure, but parents are just blowing a child's money on
277
00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:04,000
whatever, right? No, whatever it is. And they're essentially using that child
278
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:08,160
for their own gain, using it for their own purposes and using it for their own whatever.
279
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,960
And I mean, the same thing happens to grown people too. Like those who are
280
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:19,680
naive in whatever field it may be, it can be professional, it can be in academics.
281
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:26,560
You are the new person, the newbie coming into a situation, to an area that's already been
282
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:31,840
established. And you look for guidance, you're looking for someone to help you,
283
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:38,080
to point you in the right direction, to help you, you know, essentially hone whatever skill or
284
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:44,640
talent that you dare trying to learn from, right? And if you find the wrong person or,
285
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:51,040
which is more often than not, the wrong person finds you and you don't know how to discern between
286
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:58,960
someone's bad intentions or someone who's genuine, then that can lead your gift to becoming a curse.
287
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:04,320
And what I mean by that, like if you, because again, God gives, He gives us gifts to use,
288
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:10,800
you know, for His purpose, the purpose that He deems for our lives. But if you misuse and
289
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:16,960
mismanage it, then it will become a curse to you and honestly, eventually to others. Because
290
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:21,360
you're using, you're not using it the way it was designed to be used, right?
291
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:26,240
Just think about it, think about it this way, any type of exercise that you do,
292
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:32,400
if you do the exercise wrong, you're going to feel it. You know, just the simplest way I can put it,
293
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:38,480
you're either going to pull something, you're going to tear something or worse, right? If you,
294
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:42,960
if you're doing an exercise wrong, they may be working the muscle, the same muscle group, the
295
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:48,960
same area, you may be actually working the same group. But if you're doing the wrong type of
296
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:54,400
exercise or you're doing the exercise itself wrong, then there's going to be repercussions, right?
297
00:30:54,400 --> 00:31:00,240
And it's the same, it's the same thing with our gifts and our talents, right? If we don't know
298
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:05,440
how to use it, you know, using it wrong, we're just making it worse, you know, making it,
299
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:12,480
you're turning it into something that it was never meant to be. And that's why it's important,
300
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:17,680
it's very, very, very important to be careful who you let in your circle, who you let in your ear,
301
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:24,240
because as important as community is, as important as it is to have somebody by your side who, who,
302
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:30,000
you know, speaks some truth into your life, speaks truth over you, is equally important. It's not,
303
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:36,160
it's to not have the people who are only out for themselves, who are only out to use you for their
304
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:43,280
own devices in your ear as well. It goes, it goes both ways. So again, that's being, that's being
305
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:49,360
that's being the misguided, right? So the next point we go over for Broly is the,
306
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:55,840
the one that we all pretty much know is the uncontrolled side. I mean, when he succumbs to
307
00:31:55,840 --> 00:32:03,760
his rage and man, well, we, again, if you, if you know, you know, right, Broly loses his mind,
308
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:09,200
it just goes to a blind fury. He's, he's nigh unstoppable because he's just, he's not, he's
309
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:13,360
not going to stop fighting no matter what's happening, how much damage he's taken, no matter
310
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:19,920
what has happened, unless you put the fear of death into him, then she's not coming back. And,
311
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:28,560
and for us, if we don't handle our gift correctly, it can easily consume us, right? It can easily
312
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:38,080
consume us. And one thing I want to kind of illustrate this with is, so a couple, a couple
313
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:42,960
of weeks ago, the church, the church I go to every once in a while, they do a series called At the
314
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:49,520
Movies. And our pastor shows some movie clips and then he preaches a message based off the clips
315
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:57,280
that we've seen in the movie. Cause again, Jesus taught by parables and parables are just stories,
316
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:03,360
right? Earthly stories with heavenly principles in them. And the movie that my pastor went over
317
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:12,480
that time was Elvis. And this really aligns really well with this and that Elvis is, you know, gift,
318
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:19,280
right? We all know he's essentially called the, you know, the king of rock, right? And his,
319
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:25,040
his manager at the time, whose name escapes me right now, but his manager at the time was again,
320
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:32,240
that person who only saw, he saw Elvis as a cash cow to help pay off his own debt that he accrued
321
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:39,760
and he got, so he made sure that Elvis was alone at every possible opportunity. So he could essentially
322
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:47,040
sink his fangs even deeper into them to get more out of them. And basically, essentially led Elvis
323
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:52,400
to his death, inadvertently through Elvis' downward spiral of drugs and addiction and things like that.
324
00:33:52,400 --> 00:34:02,480
But that is a clear case of his gifts consuming him, right? Because he felt Elvis felt a different
325
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:08,640
call on his life for beyond just the music he was making. He wanted to make more of a gospel type
326
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:14,160
music to reach a broader, broader audience and things like that. But because he had the wrong
327
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:20,480
person in his corner, his gifts became a curse for him, you know, losing his family, getting hooked on
328
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:25,040
drugs, things like that. And it just consumed him because he always had to perform the next big show,
329
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:31,200
the next big thing, next big thing like that. And eventually, he eventually destroyed him. Now,
330
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:40,080
coming back to Broly, Broly's gift of immense battle power, immense strength, it consumed him
331
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:47,040
into a blind fury, a blind rage, which almost led to his death too in the Dragon Ball Super movie,
332
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:54,080
because Goku and Vegeta were about to kill him because the whole time they were holding back
333
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:58,240
just enough because they didn't want to kill him because they knew he wasn't a bad guy.
334
00:34:58,240 --> 00:35:03,520
Broly wasn't a bad guy. He was just misguided. He was misguided, he was used by his father,
335
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:09,040
and he just didn't know any better. So they didn't want to take it out on him. They just
336
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:14,560
wanted to get him to calm down so they could have a conversation again. But again, you know,
337
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:22,560
you know, Broly goes on a rampage, there's no stopping him. And because he didn't know how to
338
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:31,280
use his own power properly, it just went wild, went rampant. And like I said, it almost ended up with
339
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:36,720
him dying. And that's the same thing with us. If we don't keep our gifts in check, if we don't
340
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:43,600
set boundaries and guidelines to how we use our gift, when we're going to use it, what we're going
341
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:49,280
to use it for, then we run the risk of letting it make those decisions for us. Right? And then
342
00:35:50,240 --> 00:35:54,080
at that point, you're no longer in control. You're no longer in control of it. That's when the gift
343
00:35:54,080 --> 00:36:00,000
becomes the curse and now it's in control. It's in control of you. And you start to lose sight of the
344
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:05,120
initial reason why you wanted to do X, Y, Z in the first place, why you wanted to start the business,
345
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:09,280
why you wanted to get the promotion, why you wanted to get into the next relationship, you know,
346
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:13,920
whatever the case may be, whatever the reason why you started on this journey in the first place,
347
00:36:14,720 --> 00:36:19,360
you lose sight of it. If you don't have the boundaries, you don't have the guidance,
348
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:26,720
you don't have the control over your gift. Right? And the best remedy for that is finding some
349
00:36:26,720 --> 00:36:32,080
proper guidance. Right? At the end of the Dragon Ball SuperMove, we know Goku offers in training
350
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:38,080
Broly because Goku's in himself. I mean, you're super strong, but you can't control yourself when
351
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:45,360
you start getting too angry. So it'll just be a waste at that point. So Goku took it upon himself
352
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:51,200
to have him and Vegeta help train Broly so he can get a better handle on his powers, that he can
353
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:59,120
become a valuable ally, a valuable asset later on down the road. And what that means for you and
354
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:06,640
for me is to find a mentor who you can trust and who you trust enough to, again, speak the truth to
355
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:11,520
you, speak truth over you. And if you've got a big head, they're going to tell you, or if you're
356
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:15,760
second guessing yourself, they're going to tell you. And who you trust enough to put you on the
357
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:23,680
right path. Who lived more life than you have and who knows, you know, at least have an idea of what
358
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:29,200
to expect or what the mindset you had, mindset that they had back when they were your age,
359
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:36,000
at this moment in time or this part of their career. And just, you know, ask them, sit down
360
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:42,160
and have a conversation with them. Because I know a lot of people would just love to be able to
361
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:48,720
share their knowledge with somebody else who's eager and willing to learn and who is more than
362
00:37:48,720 --> 00:37:54,320
willing to take that next step, who's ready, who may not be quite ready or who think they may not
363
00:37:54,320 --> 00:38:00,080
be quite ready to take that next step, but they're willing to at least try, right? To really, to at
364
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:07,920
least go out. They're not being complacent like Gohan was, right? They're willing to take a chance
365
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:13,440
and go out. And if you have a good mentor or someone who's been around the block a few times,
366
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:21,840
right? Who's lived a little and who's seen more things and whatever analogy you want to use,
367
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:27,920
right? Someone who has your best interest in heart and who truly wants to help you get to that next
368
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:33,920
level, then that's indispensable. That's indispensable, man. Because in all honesty,
369
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:41,840
knowledge and wisdom are, in my opinion, the most precious things we have in this world, right?
370
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:49,280
Because if we can just pass these things on to the next generation after us, whether it's our kids or
371
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:55,600
younger siblings or grandkids, niece's nephew, your little Jimmy down the street, little Tony
372
00:38:55,600 --> 00:39:01,440
up the block, whatever it is. And it doesn't have to be this big age difference. It can be someone
373
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:06,080
who's literally a year younger to you, who's at a different part of their life than you were. You
374
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:12,560
can reach a helping hand back and help and you'll help and we'll walk them, walk them forward.
375
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:21,280
Because again, life is brutal. It can be unforgiving. It can be all these different things.
376
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:28,080
But if you have at least one person, at least one person, somebody who's got your back like that,
377
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:33,280
right? Who is essentially a rider that's only going to put you on the right path so you don't slip
378
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:39,680
and fall and lose your way, then again, that's indispensable, man. That's indispensable.
379
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:45,760
Because I guarantee you, the next big bag comes around, they're not going to want to have to deal
380
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:52,000
with Goku, Vegeta and Broly. That's too much. That's too much for anybody. Goku and Vegeta are
381
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:59,600
already enough. They throw Broly in the mix. That's rap. That's it. And yeah, I've heard you guys
382
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:05,520
to be that Broly, to be that new weapon, that hidden threat that no one sees coming right.
383
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:14,320
And then they see, boom, you made it. You made a million dollars. You started that super successful
384
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:21,360
business, right? You have an awesome relationship, whether it's with your spouse, your parents,
385
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:29,600
your children, whatever it is, you learn that awesome skill. Now you can do anything you think
386
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:34,880
of, right? Whatever it is, whatever you're setting out to do, you're going to get there.
387
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:44,400
And then at the end of the day, you're going to get there. And it's all about how you manage your
388
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:52,640
own potential, your own gifts and who is in your corner, right? Who's in your corner. And honestly,
389
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:59,440
when I was looking into Broly and how I wanted to kind of go over this, because again, Broly is one
390
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:07,520
of my favorite characters from Dragon Ball, because I just like the character, but this one
391
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:13,760
verse kept coming to my mind. That Psalms, chapter 32, verse eight, and it says, I will instruct you
392
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:22,880
and show you the way to go with my eye on you. I will give you counsel. So again, that's
393
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:29,360
essentially what it's saying. The Lord is going to show you how to use the thing that he gave you,
394
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:35,280
right? And I don't think there's a better mentor in existence than the person who gave you the
395
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:41,920
gift that you need help with, right? I mean, it's kind of, it's a cheat code essentially. It's
396
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:49,600
literally a cheat code. And it doesn't get any better than that. So at that point, what do you
397
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:54,800
have to worry about, right? The person who gave you your gift is going to show you how to use your
398
00:41:54,800 --> 00:42:01,120
gift and how to use it the right way, when to use it, how to use it, when not to use it, all of that.
399
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:07,920
So at this point, all that you have to do is to listen and then keep going forward, right?
400
00:42:08,720 --> 00:42:14,960
Listen to the instructions, practice, practice, practice. And when you make the mistakes,
401
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:21,360
because we all will, then get up, dust yourself off and take, take note of what you did wrong and
402
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:28,160
what can you do to avoid it or to learn from it and move on, right? And all of this is internal
403
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:34,000
work. All of this is personal things that we have to go through on our own time. Can no one else
404
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:39,680
can do it for us as much as we want to, right? Again, don't be complacent. Don't be like Gohan,
405
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:43,760
how he was, think, and go through Jesus's, come swoop in and say the day every time, because
406
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:49,280
they're not. And take responsibility, accept who you are and who you've been called to be.
407
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:56,960
And yeah, just get out there. Let's get after it. Well, that's all we got for season two of the
408
00:42:56,960 --> 00:43:04,160
Ataka Liberation. I hope you guys enjoyed it. If not, let me know too. And let me know what anime
409
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:09,840
you guys would like me to cover in some future, future seasons or even some future special episodes
410
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:16,320
or anything like that. Because I got plenty of material, but I would like to know what you guys
411
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:21,440
want to hear what you guys are interested in. It could be something mainstream, could be something
412
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:28,560
no one's really heard of before. And they just give me excuse to watch more anime, right? One of
413
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:34,880
the things I just love to do. But yeah, I had a lot of fun doing it during the season. And Dragonball
414
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:38,960
means Dragonball holds a special place in my heart because it's one of the first ones that I started
415
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:45,680
off watching. But anyway, I won't bore you guys with that detail. So again, that was the end of
416
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:53,040
this season and look forward to the next one. Because I'm covering an underrated anime,
417
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:58,800
exactly underrated, which really kind of hams on the idea of friendship and camaraderie.
418
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:03,760
But not so much in the sense that the power of friendship beats everything, but more in the sense
419
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:09,600
that it really shows your own strength and weaknesses within a group and how you guys can
420
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:15,840
accomplish goals together. And that anime is called World Trigger. So again, I just want to thank you
421
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:19,920
guys for tuning into today's episode. I pray that you get what you needed out of it and that you
422
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:24,720
learn something new about yourself. Feel free to subscribe to the podcast and leave a review.
423
00:44:24,720 --> 00:44:29,520
I would love reading you guys in the comments and it helps me improve each and every episode. Now,
424
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:34,480
always remember, you are the main character of your story and that story doesn't end until he
425
00:44:34,480 --> 00:45:02,320
says so. All right, we blessed.
