Due to creative circumstances beyond my control, this episode was delayed for one year. A year later, the episode is finally published in an effort to continue what I started and what we have planned for the future. Please be aware there may be editing issues in this episode. Thank you so much for your patience!
In this episode: a Dragon Ball fan comic gives Vegeta a proper spotlight; Kingdom Hearts fans have beef with Nier fans after the Nintendo Switch port release; and the beginning of Anime Expo's crowding issues.

Since we opened our Discord server (shameless plug; link in description), we sought out Discord directories to promote the community. Case in point: Disboard. After a recent issue that should have had a closer look upon execution, it could have gotten our server and myself deleted from the service. We weigh in if Disboard was to blame, or if it’s just the way of this sad world.

So glad that the Ikari Strain series was created for discussions such as this! In case you haven't heard, a now-defunct Custom PC company called "Artesian Builds" went under due to a Livestream fail, where the CEO publicly announced who is worthy of winning their giveaways based on numbers. I rant about this being a terrible idea, in addition to how it hit too close to home as a victim of gatekeeping as a content creator.

We’ve talked about all you need to know of Final Fantasy XIV, but now we’re going to gush about the recently released fourth expansion in FFXIV’s growing universe, Endwalker.
Be warned, however, that there will be spoilers ahead in this review. Although we will attempt to keep it at a minimum, some details will be explained as for it to make sense of what makes Endwalker a candidate for possibly the greatest Final Fantasy story ever told.

In this episode, Sanjo-chan talks about the ideal episode length of an anime series. We have the common 12 episode anime length as an "entry level", followed by the 24 episode variety (or 12 episodes split into two parts). Lastly, we have the uncommon 52 episode offerings. But when one should be considered lucky if their favorite anime are either Dragon Ball, Naruto, and One Piece from the very beginning.
"Ikari Strain" are special episodes within the Centaku Media Podcast where one topic is chosen and ripped apart in criticism in hopes of reaching those who can relate to the problems riddled within.
Addendums: Apologies in advance! I was so excited and recorded this episode on a whim, so there are a few inaccuracies when the episode counts are mentioned. However, this is what the show notes are for! While it may be an episode or two off, these are meant to prove the point of the discussion.
Danganronpa: 13 episodes instead of 12 mentioned
Cowboy Bebop: 26 episodes instead of 24 mentioned
Fullmetal Alchemist (2003): there are 51 episodes total
Dragon Ball (franchise): if you add Dragon Ball (153 episodes), Z (291 episodes), and Super (131 episodes), there are a total of 575 episodes
One Piece: the previously aired episode was #981 by the time of recording (7/6/2021), confirming the mentioned count
