Zoro has been holding Luffy down from Day 1. No matter how silly he is or what he gets the crew into Zoro is always there ready to take on the challenge.

Magna is a true underdog and for the first time in popular Shonen history, we may actually see the underdog get his shine without an L behind it. From Rock Lee to Red Riot, Magna may be the one to carry the torch for all the anime underdogs. Don't worry we got more to talk about in this episode. In Decent News, we have reviews for Falcon and The Winter Soldier, Invincible, Mortal Kombat, Kong vs Godzilla, Yasuke, and Tokyo Revengers. Twitter was going crazy this month with our All Might vs Omni Man versus so you know we got to share our thoughts on the podcast. In the manga world we go over Black Clover and My Hero Academia highlights talking about all the Magna and Deku theories you can possibly consume. Finally, it's not an AfrOtaku podcast if we don't talk about our MVPs and Goofies, we need Mark and Dante to come to the table to get flamed!

To close out AfrOkon we decided to do a live stream of Episode 47 of the podcast with author and friend of the show LA West. In this episode, we got a ton of comic book stuff to talk about from Wandavision(7:58) to Zach Synder's cut of the Justice League(17:00). In the anime segment, we discuss the shonen series that actually developed their side characters(if they exist)(49:14). Oh, and we saw this interesting debate about anime fire users so we figured we might as well share our thoughts(65:58). Lastly, we talk about some Manga Highlights from My Hero Academia Chapter 306(83:33) and Black Clover Chapter 286(87:20). For everyone that came out, supported, promoted, and/or gave their time to AfrOkon we thank you. It was an amazing event to put together and we're glad we were able to showcase all the amazing talent we have in the Blerd community.
Convention shirts for AfrOkon are still available for purchase via our and the blerdbox website. If you haven't got one you should! Go to the blerdbox.shop or thedecentcrew.com and get yours.
