Episodes 101-110
- Episode 101: Praxis Makes Perfect
- When everyone agrees to Praxis' idea, Nia's response is, "Sure. Can't resist a good puzzle. Let's go!" Cue a transition straight out of Professor Layton.
- Uraya is clearly more beautiful than any town. ...At least it doesn't require DRM.Chugga: The Titan's Gorge! I think that's a location in the SimCity... 2013 game? Which, I am so sorry for bringing up memories of that, 'cause I was just as disappointed with that as anybody else.
- Mòrag's gameplay quotes respond to Chugga's lack of military knowledge.
- You low on Pouch Items, Chugga? Allow us to supply you with something. ...An Ice-Cream Koan; extra Glurge.Mòrag: Separate walks of life united on the same front... I'm starting to warm to this idea.
Brighid: I concur. I'll have to jot down this observation in my journal.
Chugga: I had no idea you derive such deep purpose from beating up some random animal. - Revenge of the sub-quests!Pest Control 1: Kill a thing.
Pest Control 2: Kill another thing.
Pest Control 3: We're doing this again, eh? - After defeating the Magno Blants for Pest Control 1, the Quest Complete screen keeps Tora's Spinning Cutter going indefinitely.
- The fact that, for every no in Nonono the Nopon's name, Chugga ends up saying his signature "NNNNOOO!!!" at lightning pace.
- The fight against Waldemar and Theory at the end of Praxis' sidequest proves to be an utter mess, not helped the first time around by Chugga's decision to use Rex with Blade Nia as his dedicated healer. While Nia will eventually become one of the best healing blades in the game, at this point she's still better as a Driver, so...Chugga: Nia, get back in your pajamas.
- At one point Chugga goes for a full chain attack, elemental bursts and all... which Waldemar barely survives, before wiping the floor with Mòrag for an instant loss with no party gauge left. It gets so bad that Chugga decides to bring Crossette back into the main party.
- "I mean, it's one thing if you have bad shoes, or even bad hair, but a bad fight?"
- A commenter pointed out the reason that the fight was so hard was that Theory gives her driver evasion spike damage and her driver has a perfect evasion arte (and his enrage mode speeds up his arte cooldowns), while Chugga was spamming attacks in an attempt to build up specials and chain attacks. Chugga was killing himself from spike damage... Something he had previously dismissed as a nonissue.
- See, this is why people look down upon alpha males. They don't learn nearly as fast as cuties.Chugga: (Poppi QT maxes out her Affinity Chart) Oh my god, WHAT!? I THOUGHT POPPI ALPHA!!! WHAT!!!???
- Episode 102: Cliffs of Morytha
- You can always count on Chugga for being Late to the Punchline.Chugga: Charming Swimsuit! (record scratch) Oh god, I just caught that it's called Kinkir Accessories, and they sell swimsuits and loincloths...
- Hey, Zeke. Maybe you should consider wearing two eyepatches. That way, you won't be able to see what's become of your life.Chugga: He's Blindbeard the Pirate, having two eyepatches on!
- Offending your own people? That's gotta be a new low.Chugga: Can I just say, speaking as a Mexican myself, Machine-Gun Julio sounds like some kind of drug lord? (Julio flies away) Oh, no-no-no-no, come back, come back! I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it! Nooo!
- Brighid levels up one of her Specials.Brighid: I can't wait to try it out on some fool.Chugga: Ooooooooh, watch out, Zeke.
- Right before The Stinger, as Zeke digs up a collection point, Rex and Blade Nia are in the background, standing side-by-side.
- You can always count on Chugga for being Late to the Punchline.
- Episode 103: The Fear She Carries
- Rex, you're supposed to make a Dynamic Entry on Torna; not the audience.Chugga: Now, uh-... (Rex falls to his death) Aah, he stubbed his fingers!
- Chugga shows a piece of concept art for Nia... featuring her crying, laughing, blushing, and her two wanted posters.Chugga: I call it, "Nia's Life in One Page".
- Said the Cloudcuckoolander to the Kettle.Pandoria: Heeere, fishy-fishy!
Chugga: Pandoria, you finding that many fish in a rock is the most on-brand thing for you I've ever seen! - There's The Comically Serious... and then there's whatever the hell this is.Chugga: Nothing quite like beating up your old boss! ...Well, he's not really a boss. Jin's the leader of Torna; he's more the... assistant manager? This is a really funny mental image!
- Nia getting in a Bond One-Liner when Malos is done for is satisfying enough, but then you gotta add That Satisfying "Crunch!" on top of Dissonant Serenity.Chugga: Don't need you anymore. (Theory's Core Crystal is ready to be awakened) ...This'll be quite a story to tell the newborn Theory when she comes around, that this was when she was ready to be born.
- Rex, you're supposed to make a Dynamic Entry on Torna; not the audience.
- Episode 104: Bottom of the World
- When at the point where Mythra says that Rex can call the third form either her name or Pyra's, Chugga goes to talk about how this is a branching story path in the game.Chugga: Because the people over at Monolith Soft think you have enough time to play this entire game twice.
- He already complimented his design back at the start of the game; now Chugga can indulge in it a mere 100 episodes later.Chugga: (singsong) Jin is a party member! Jin is a party member! Jin is a party member! I can't contain myself; I'm sorry!
- ...There's gotta be at least one Crack Pairing out there of BrigJin, right?Tutorial: You're engaging Brighid right now.
Chugga: (as Jin) ...No, I'm not! I'm a sexy Flesh-Eater who wants the destruction of humanity!
- When at the point where Mythra says that Rex can call the third form either her name or Pyra's, Chugga goes to talk about how this is a branching story path in the game.
- Episode 105: Eat Your Heart Out
- Episode 69 was already rude enough with its titlenote towards Niall, but this title is even more rude towards Flesh-Eater Jin.
- You know what you gotta do to all the monsters in Morytha to get to the World Tree? ...Kill every last one of them.Chugga: Malicious Dimitri! ...I could make a lot of very spoiler jokes about Fire Emblem, and I'm not going to do that!
- Is this an Astonishingly Appropriate Interruption, or is it just classic Mythra?Rex: Darn... Why here?
Mythra: Not again, Rex!
Chugga: (wheeze; as Mythra) Not again! You already died once! Don't you remember, Rex?! - The Overdrive must be getting to her head.Brighid: (levels up Affinity Chart) I can guard Lady Mòrag ever more closely!
Chugga: ...You're not doing a very good job of it right now. - ...Chugga. You have enough waifus. You don't need to make your entire audience into one.Chugga: (to those wanting to know more about the Third Aegis) But, don't worry. I'm here for you, babe. ...Never saying that again.
- Aren't games like Five Nights at Freddy's supposed to be immersion-inducing; not immersion-breaking?Chugga: (in a serious tone) Not a moment of- (pivots camera over to an attacking Zalidor Guldo) WHOOOAAA!!! That was-... Jump Scare crap! Oh my god!
- When going over the Battle Skills of the Aegis' third form, he has a lot to explain for its absolutely loaded kit.Onscreen Text: Fully heals Rex on switch, forces all aggro for duration, grants perfect debuff and reaction immunity. Unbeatable status and full heal from one mortal attack with 5 seconds of invincibility. Ether Spike damage to all attacks, Blocks reflect all damage to the enemy. All damage is treated as an elemental weakness. Oh my God how powerful are you. No wonder the official descriptions sucked. Can you even read this? Explaining all this stuff was so hard on me and I rehearsed it so many times! I tried my best.
- Episode 106: Morytha The Unknown
- Glad to see you have your priorities straight, Chugga.Chugga: Hey, guys. ...Sidequests!
- Chugga points out, in his words, one of the more "sordid" parts of Rex becoming the Master Driver: he often ends up being Chugga's "dedicated field skill bitch". Comments wasted no time in comparing him to an HM Slave.
- Chugga tries to do one of his "music breaks" during a long climb up a ladder, only for him to get interrupted by a failed field skill check halfway up.
- At the end of the episode, Chugga pulls Dahlia. After cracking up at the idea of her being in a pile of trash in Morytha, Chugga has to have "the talk".Chugga: Alright, alright, we gotta talk. We gotta talk. We really really gotta talk about her. So Dahlia... is a character that bothers an awful lot of of people. And I have to say, no getting around this, I have to talk about it no matter what, I have to get it out there: I have to agree. She's awfully painful to look at. I mean just look at her feet! Those things are horrifying! Those aren't shoes, those spikes are coming out of the heelbone oh my go- (video ends)
- The Stinger of the episode has the camera still focused on Dahlia's "heel spikes", with Pandoria dabbing on the side, accompanied with airhorns.
- Glad to see you have your priorities straight, Chugga.
- Episode 107: Powered-Up Poppi
- Why max out the Affinity Chart of just one Rare Blade... when you can max it out on the exact same Blade?Chugga: So, our first two Blades... to- first two Rare Blades to hit S Rank are Poppi and Poppi! (laughs) I got my Critical Hits in this! That's so cool! ...Oh, hi, Godfrey.
Godfrey: This will keep us safe!
Chugga: Sure. You'll keep us safe. ...Get outta here. - ...You realize the quest is meant to turn Poppi into an adult, right, Chugga?
- Man, if teaching like this is what we got in real schools, there'd be far less people going, "I did that yesterday."Chugga: I... love this question.
Beltran: My name is Beltran.
Gruth: Name's Gruth. And don't you forget it. - The Aegis is meant to form reality. Not rewrite the reality of tables.(Mythra's shins are stuck in the tableside)
Chugga: Mythra, I knew that you were powerful, but wow. Uh, the power of your shins, yo! - If Killer Queen is meant to collect hands, then Freeze-Frame is meant to collect legs.Chugga: (camera zooms into Pyra's leg) Inside of Pyra's leg! Now we're just collecting them all!
- Perfect timing strikes again while Chugga is killing time waiting for Merc Missions.Chugga: I came back to the Way of the Practicioner in the Cliffs of Morytha, as there's some things we've not taken care of yet and I'm still waiting on the Merc Group to return.
Vess: (returns from Merc Mission) Ting-a-ling Trouple, tingling in!
Chugga: PAH! It even crossed my mind in the middle of that sentence, "what if?" - Freeze-Frame Bonus that Chugga doesn't notice when going back to Tora's House after getting all the items he needs from salvaging and Merc Missions. As soon as the party walks through the door, Mythra can be seen climbing up the side of the chimney.
- When Tatazo plans to make a really miniature Poppi, smaller than the smallest ant.Chugga: But if it's smaller than the smallest ant, you wouldn't be able to gawk at the- hair! Her hair is so soft and shiny and beautiful!
- After the scene where Poppi QTπ decides it would be more efficient to carry Tora around because she has longer legs, Chugga laments the missed opportunity of that being Tora's walking animation whenever he has Poppi QTπ equipped.
- Why max out the Affinity Chart of just one Rare Blade... when you can max it out on the exact same Blade?
- Episode 108: Makin’ Some Pi!
- The video starts... with Poppi QTπ dancing. Talk about a first impression, eh?Chugga: (as Poppi) Mythra! I challenge you to a Dance-Off! (Mythra stares vacantly)
- Chugga's had enough of thinking the bitches were female Common Blades.Chugga: Stupid dog! You got my hopes up!
- Even the overly-long tutorial can have some good quips in it.Chugga: Vendetta III! Unlocked it before Bayonetta 3!
- At this rate, Poppi QTπ will overpower the Zanza-damn Monado.Chugga: For a Core Chip on Poppi, I'm going with the Shining Star Chip! No! (Beat) I wanna stop Jin; not kill him!
- The video starts... with Poppi QTπ dancing. Talk about a first impression, eh?
- Episode 109: Beneath the Aurora
- One of the rewards for the Twelve Brothersisterpon sidequest is listed as a Crispy Blendshake. ...Even Xenoblade can be portrayed by SpongeBob.Chugga: I don't know if I'd like to have a shake that's described as crispy, but... you do you. (picture of fish who says, "He burnt my shake," pops up)
- Niranira, clearly you're not fit to be an inspector, let alone a chairman.Niranira: But suspicions were all wrong. Bana clean as polished whistle!
Chugga: ...HE ASSASSINATED THE EMPEROR! - As soon as Chugga drops down a floor to have Rex's Salvager Rank checked, Floren follows suit... and lands on Mythra's head.
- Chugga tries to say "unclimbable steep ledge" but ends up saying "unsteepable".
- And here we were led to believe Pyra was the one who roasts.
- One of the rewards for the Twelve Brothersisterpon sidequest is listed as a Crispy Blendshake. ...Even Xenoblade can be portrayed by SpongeBob.
- Episode 110: Eternal Spirit
- Chugga uses Perceval for this quest, as it involves fighting a lot of humanoid enemies so his One-Hit Kill ability can kick in. Said ability ends up triggering against one such enemy, on Perceval's Lv 2 Special. Since the animation involves Percy breathing a dark cloud on the enemy, Chugga jokes that Perceval instakilled that guy by burping on him, and he breaks down almost as hard as he did with Buzzsaw Man Pants.
- The fact that Chugga thinks that a deranged child abductor has a cute voice.Chugga: Maybe that's what drove him to a life of villainy, was just... everybody thought his voice was so silly and cute.
- Instead of starting a Merc Mission he got from a Tantalese NPC, Chugga starts the Merc Mission that would kick off Zenobia's Blade Quest.
Episodes 111-120
- Episode 111: You're Electra-fying!
- Chugga meant to do Electra's Blade Quest back in Chapter 7 when Pyra and Mythra were out of the party, but because two measly cutscenes require Pyra to be present (which the game does not tell you), he had to put it off until after Morytha and patch the whole thing together with a Time Skip. To add insult to injury, Pyra doesn't even do anything important in these cutscenes, only showing up as a background character in one and saying just one line in another. As a result, Electra's quest technically overtook Ursula's as the longest ongoing Blade Quest in the LP, taking over a month to finally complete.Chugga: 4 to 6 weeks later...
- Oh, boy. He fell off the wagon...
- As if the life cycle of Blades wasn't confusing enough as is.Uboon: Thou wieldest great strength in the way of lightning, dost thou not?
Chugga: Uh- Dude, are you like, attracted, or something? You weren't talking like this at all when it was to me.
Electra: Well, um...I do use lightning, but... I'm a bit crap at controlling it.
Chugga: Electra! You are too young to say such things! - Electra's stock Idle Animation being used for Fortis' massage leads to hilarity, as it looks like Electra is massaging his back with her drumsticks. Just as Chugga is commenting on how painful that looks, the end of the animation makes it looks like Electra is shoving the drumsticks up his ass.Chugga: Electra! I didn't know you knew such moves at your age! We're gonna have a talk about this later.
- Chugga makes a run for it past Immovable Gonzales to get to the last part of the quest. The first time, Gonzales punches Rex to death in mid-air, causing him to nose-dive uncontrollably as the screen fades out. Chugga makes it the second time, but panics when he discovers that the quest has a boss at the end, expecting it to be scaled to Gonzales' level due to being behind him. The cherry on top after all this is that there was another entrance to this area hidden behind a waterfall, meaning that there was no reason to run past Gonzales in the first place.
- The recipe guides for Vess's dumplings all substitute the word "dumplings" for things the Pokémon English dub renames/reanimates rice balls to, reflecting how the dumplings themselves are clearly rice balls too.
- Chugga meant to do Electra's Blade Quest back in Chapter 7 when Pyra and Mythra were out of the party, but because two measly cutscenes require Pyra to be present (which the game does not tell you), he had to put it off until after Morytha and patch the whole thing together with a Time Skip. To add insult to injury, Pyra doesn't even do anything important in these cutscenes, only showing up as a background character in one and saying just one line in another. As a result, Electra's quest technically overtook Ursula's as the longest ongoing Blade Quest in the LP, taking over a month to finally complete.
- Episode 112: Fawning Over Floren
- The fact that it is not until the episode that covers Floren's Blade Quest that Chugga finally goes over Floren.
- Once the first choice for Rex and Zeke's Heart-to-Heart is finished, Zeke and Pandoria somehow spawn over the edge of the guard rails and fall to their doom.
- Even in the episode that finally covers Floren, Chugga still trolls.Chugga: The time has finally come. We are going to be talking about Floren...'s Skill, Beguiling Charms!
- Is perfume as intoxicating on plants as it is on animals?Chugga: Floren, your item is on the other end... OF THE PERFUME DEPARTMENT!
- Chugga is fully expecting Vess to be the next Blade he fills out the Affinity Chart of, until... OH LAWD, HE COMIN'.Chugga: OOOHH!!!
Boreas: You may refer to me as The Marquis of Max Speed!
Chugga: ...Yes sir, Mr. Doctor Professor Marquis of Max Speed. - When Chugga reads Floren's line "Doing something for no reward can be pretty rough, you know!", Paper Mario: Sticker Star's boxart flashes on-screen.
- Floren's favourite item type is vegetables. Or, as Chugga puts it...Chugga: Floren... IS A CANNIBAL!!! (reveals his other favorite type is art) And a connoisseur of the fine arts!
- Episode 113: Floren Heals an Aching Soul
- While Floren is negotiating with Cedwyn, the camera abruptly zooms in to Nia tripping over literally nothing.
- There's only one thing bigger than Godfrey's ego...
- Plot twist: Floren's aware that going over his battle capabilities would mess with the natural order.Chugga: So, Floren... (Floren runs away) Uh- Where are you going? Where do you think you're going, MISTER?! I THROW THE BALL AT YOU! (Bitball narrowly misses Floren) Uh- ...I missed.
- The hand in the water bowl prank has got some new competition.Chugga: (reading Brionac Seàirdeant's level; quietly) ...69. (Seàirdeant wakes up) AHH! NO! NO! NO, NO! NO, NO! I SWEAR I DIDN'T MEAN IT! I DIDN'T MEAN IT! I DIDN'T MEAN IT, NO!
- It's time for everybody's favorite talk show: Philosophy With Chugga.Chugga: Y'know, I was just thinking. If... we killed a tree in order to make a brace for another tree, does that make that first tree an organ donor?
- Episode 114: The Ice of Shining Justice
- When Chugga has Godfrey use his Gaze of Justice, he proceeds to read out the rest of his dialogue in an impression of All Might.
- Man, we got one hell of an Ensemble Dark Beast going on right here.Wulfric: I will show you later...
(Wulfric is missing one Affinity Skill)
Chugga: What are you missing? What are you missing... (needs to do only one more Merc Mission) Oh my goood! We just need to send him on one more Merc Mission! - Chugga points out that Godfrey's quest is pretty much some random guy deciding to bully some random stranger's Blade for no reason whatsoever, giving the group (which includes the Aegis' Driver, an ex-terrorist, the strongest Driver and Blade from Mor Ardain, the inventor of the strongest Artificial Blade in Alrest, and the prince of Tantal) not only a reason to go after him, but the knowledge that he exists in the first place.
- The sight of Sandstream's face being buried in the concrete causes Chugga to laugh up a storm.
- Episode 115: My Long-Lost Sister
- As Chugga is detailing Theory's base attributes, he refers to her as the best Ice Blade in all of Alrest. ...Cue Jin popping up in the lower-left corner.
- Chugga, weren't we trying to stop a drug smuggling exchange last episode?Chugga: Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go snort some Love Sources.
- Since Addam and Volette are both voiced by the same actor, Chugga has Hi Addam flash on-screen.
- Chugga's so distracted by Poppi QTπ dancing on a bench, that it causes him to accidentally skip his outro.
- Episode 116: My Older Sister
- Chugga going on a tangent about how Finn was one of his favorite characters in The Force Awakens, and was sad that he didn't get utilized much beyond his first movie. ...And all this because he mispronounces Nim's name as Fin.
- Episode 117: Taking Agate for Granite
- It's April Fools' Day, and being the practical jokester that he is, Chugga's gotta get on that bandwagon. How does he prank us? ...Uploading 15 minutes earlier than he usually does.
- Is Rex just Luffy, and he's just a gluttonous asexual?Pyra: And I told them not to worry because I'm going to do everything in my power to look after you.
Rex: I'm sorry, what? I can look after myself, thank you very much.
Chugga: UUUAAAAAUUUUUGH!!! - Chugga cracks up at Man-Eating Glenn's name, saying that it's too non-threatening for a unique enemy. Clearly they should have called him "Man-Eating Frog," instead.
- As if Chugga hitting on Nika Futterman wasn't weird enough...Chugga: Why does that Nopon have the sexiest voice I've ever heard in my entire life? I should not want a Nopon to talk dirty to me!
- Making this even funnier, the comments point out that this Nopon is in fact voiced by Skye Bennet, Pyra and Mythra's voice actress.
- Episode 118: A Midnight Snack
- As if Chugga wasn't questioning how sexuality any further regarding Nopon, one of the acceptable Merc Missions is titled "Hot Nopon". This comment sums it up best.REALbiggestlegofan Connor: You know that nopon from agate's quest DID kinda sound hot
- The Heart-to-Heart "At the Seat of Power" has Aegaeon mention that Niall is absent, even though he was there right before and right after the Heart-to-Heart.
- How does the party react to the Tirkin chefs who had no involvement in Niall's assassination whatsoever? ...They brandish their weapons.Chugga: ...GUUUUUUUUUUYS! That's your first response?! Do you feel no remorse?!
- Chugga's been no stranger to referencing Celebrity Jeopardy, but his Tirkin voice?Flavor Text: I sound like SNL's Sean Connery...
- While Theory still has a long way to go in filling out her Affinity Chart, Praxis is much, much closer.Theory: True growth happens when you clear your mind of distractions.
Chugga: Apparently, you have many thoughts plaguing (Praxis gets most of her Affinity Chart filled out) YYYOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUU!!! - Of all the ways Chugga could've started his rant about why he doesn't like the "Midnight Feasting" DLC Quest, he words it like this.
- As if Chugga wasn't questioning how sexuality any further regarding Nopon, one of the acceptable Merc Missions is titled "Hot Nopon". This comment sums it up best.
- Episode 119: Welcome to Night, Vale
- Chugga notes how the Fire Dragons had been severely mistreated... resulting in two funny occurrences.Chugga: Sorry, Nia. You're being beaten by a bunch of turkeys. (Zeke, Mòrag, Rex, and Pyra stand in a single-file line) Uh- Pfft, what, are we standing in a single-file line to get into the hotel, or something?
- At the beginning of Vale's Inn Heart-to-Heart "Vale's Weakness" during a moment without voice-acting, the gang starts to worry that Vale isn't coming out of her room and decides to check on her. This reminds Chugga of an experience he once had and starts to share his story... only for Zeke to pipe up before he even begins, leading him to put the kibosh on his tale and stay quiet for the voice-acted event. Even better is that he thought he had to walk up to her room first, but instead the game booted him straight to the point and so he never had the chance to share his story.
- After Pyra calls out Vale's bluff on practicing dark magic with her friends the night prior when really they were having a girl chat thanks to Mythra's snitching, Chugga makes a crack that... makes you wonder if he experienced something.Chugga: Y'know what they say, it ain't a little girl's sleepover party without at least one satanic ritual!
- Vale says she relates to Mimin's running out at night as something she used to do herself in her "younger days." Cue Chugga pointing out that, as a Blade, Vale's current self is about two weeks old at most... and Zeke saying the same thing in-universe in the next line.
- As soon as the gang finds the Nopon cult, an Ardainian Soldier is marching along through the middle of the circle... not paying any attention to the cult.
- That same soldier shows up again when the party fights the "demon" (really just a hungry monster) that the cult summoned, strolling through the battlefield like it's just another evening patrol as Blade specials are going off around him. Looks like Padraig's got a new second-in-command.
- An incredibly drawn-out quest... What is this, Black Vale Brides?Chugga: I HAVE BEEN HERE FOR AN HOOOOOUUUUURRR!!!
Vale: You think this sort of stuff is fun?
Chugga: ...NO! No, I don't! - Sure, maybe the Spirit Crucible Elpys would be ideal for summoning a demon, but...Chugga: So, you mean to tell me... that the only other people in the entire world, including another Aegis and the most powerful Flesh-Eater in the world, who can get down to the Vault of Heroes where Addam hid the legendary Third Aegis Sword is just a bunch of Nopon children?
- Maybe the Eschapons were well-versed in the art of Hilarious in Hindsight.Chugga: (Voracious Aspar kills Zeke) This guy was a master strategist! Not bad for a snake!
- The biggest plot twist of all? The Nopon who leads the Cult of Eschapon... is Yumyum the Burglar.
- Chugga notes how the Fire Dragons had been severely mistreated... resulting in two funny occurrences.
- Episode 120: Artisan-Bred
- For only one sidequest, Chugga brings on Tom Fawkes, who's known for doing a good Tora impression. And for what line is he brought on to voice?
Episodes 121-130
- Episode 121: Judging Justice
- The episode's barely started, and already Chugga questions everyone's clothing choices for Tantal.Chugga: How does anyone in this game survive out in the cold?! (shows Pyra and Poppi QTπ on screen) I mean, (switches Pyra over for Gorg) just look at this guy! He has it the worst out of all of us, and don’t even bring up Dahlia, she's at least made of ice, this guy's water!
- Godfrey finally has something good come out of him from his Heart-to-Heart with Zeke, and how does Chugga refer to this in the video chapters? "The only good thing Godfrey had ever done".
- Also, because Chugga outright refuses to give Godfrey a break...Video description: Godfrey gets to do something better than this original quest, but Perun and Perceval are there so he's still Godfrey at it.
- Also, before viewing the Heart-to-Heart, Chugga admits that he truly feels bad for Godfrey and that he thinks that Monolith Soft didn't have to give him the short end of the stick as much as they did... which falls flat when you remember that he's done nothing but crap on him ever since he was summoned. Hell, even in this instance where he's trying to be nice, he still can't resist taking the piss on him!Chugga: He's just so dislikable, and it didn't have to be that way.
- Also, because Chugga outright refuses to give Godfrey a break...
- That good a Tiger! Tiger! reward, even when missing the perfect bonus? Eh, must be Springtime for Malos...Chugga: MASTER STRIKE MOD???!!! AAAAAHHH!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME???!!! ARE YOU FFF(beep)ING WITH ME???!!!
- And then later we find out that even with the Master Strike Mod, QTπ's auto-attack stat is only around 600, while QT of all Blades was at around 900. And this is after Chugga threw shade on QT in a previous episode for no longer having a role now that we have QTπ.
- Even better, he got so excited about getting the Master Strike Mod, that he completely forgot that he unlocked Level 3 Salvage Mastery for Poppibuster... which was the reason why he was playing Tiger! Tiger! in the first place!
- When looking over his Blades returning from Merc Group Missions, he realizes that one of his Blades is named "Akatsuki"... who's also the name of the Blade who led Brionac with his Driver. Chugga is flabbergasted that this is one of the randomly generated names you can get on Common Blades, including a Dog-Type Blade, which Brionac's Akatsuki also was.
- ...Alright, hands up. Who here actually wanted to listen to a Floren mukbang?Floren: (talks with Snow Dumplings stuffed in his mouth) MMM! Mmm, delicious!~ (giggles)
Chugga: I just made all of you with headphones woefully uncomfortable! Right there with ya'; I record using headphones! (shudders)
- The episode's barely started, and already Chugga questions everyone's clothing choices for Tantal.
- Episode 122: Be a Dahlia
- Even when the joke is incredibly obvious, Chugga still manages to find some way to Bait-and-Switch the audience.
- As if that one random cutscene didn't shit on Zeke hard enough...Viccus: Nice to see some outsiders for a change! We don't get many round here...
Chugga: (as Zeke) I am not an out- (beat) Oh, I get it. This is all just a sick joke at the exiled prince! Laugh it up, why don'tcha?! - Well, you know what they say about girls with deformed feet...Dahlia: Thanks a bunch. I'll find little Kasandra (Kasandra flashes on-screen) before you know it.
- This one's hard to notice. Once Dahlia's quest gets started up, there's a description for the quest in the top-left.◇ Fly in the Ointment
- Chugga's story of how the first Rare Blade he got on a practice run was Dahlia, and the only other Blade he was able to pull at the time... was Electra. He was fearing the same outcome happening on his main run, as she would prove to be problematic to the people he wants to sell the game to... because she's awful in combat.
- While Pyra and Brighid are saving Kastina from hypothermia, an old friend from an earlier episode stops by outside the entrance.Incandescent Marcus: (via background text) HAI GUYZ!!
- But Dahlia's rich in milk; not cake.
- There's trying to avoid Offending the Creator's Own... and then there's just completely Giving Up on Logic.Chugga: Get back here! Talk with your... southern crapi!
Dahlia: Cute! ...I like it!
Pandoria: This is the best thing ever!
Chugga: To explain what I meant by that before anyone gets offended at me, I was playing a home game of Wheel of Fortune with some friends in a video one time, and the answer was "Southern Drawl", and despite living in the south, I had never heard of a southern drawl, so I filled in the puzzle with "Southern Crapi".
- Episode 123: Herald Unbound
- It's not unlike Chugga to try and start the video off with a Dynamic Entry... unless jumping off a cliff in Tantal somehow causes him to respawn in the Argentum Trade Guild.
- That "Rex is Luffy" theory is starting to hold more weight to it.
- What a sentence, innit?
- Mythra being in this scene regardless of Azami's Driver makes the fact that it's Rex all the better, and Azami should be thankful that Mythra's responses are generic; she'd probably get a Sacred Arrow with her name on it if Mythra could actually grasp that she was trying to move in on Rex.
- Is Alrest just filled to the brim with ephebophilia shippers, or something?Rex: Wha-? A date?
Azami: Tee hee. What's wrong with that?
Chugga: (screen frozen) He's 15, that's what. - Just because she has fuzzy ears does not make her a primate.Chugga: Nia, let's put your monkey where your mou-... Mo- Money where your... mouth is.
- You're a month early, Chugga. It's not Chugga's Wood Day just yet.
- Are you sure Mythra's the only one with Foresight?Chugga: (Herald's Affinity Chart is near complete) WAAAH.
Herald: I wish you would not.
Chugga: ...Luigi!
- Episode 124: King of the Sea
- While Chugga begins the conversation with Eulogimenos to start the quest, he questions why he didn't ask his son for help first. Immediately following this, Zeke proceeds with his stretching idle animation and pointing in Eulogimenos' face, causing Chugga to giggle. As if this isn't enough, he starts to see rapid movement right near Zeke, causing Chugga to switch his camera angle and:Chugga: Okay, so... You're [Herald] dancing the Macarena, and Mythra and Brighid are just over there [in the background] gossiping to each other over how silly we all look, okay, real nice. And Mòrag wants nothing to do with this BS.
- It's made funnier by Eulogimenos being stuck on the textbox saying, "So I can't exactly fault Zeke for his actions, haha..."
- Okay, Eulogimenos not being able to salvage anymore makes sense, but he can't even be bothered to handle negotiations?Eulogimenos: And then there's the Calamity Puzzle... I hear a Nopon in Argentum finally got his little wings on it. So I suppose that one is less about salvaging and more bartering.
Chugga: Aren't you, like, the head of an entire country? Can't you siphon taxpayer dollars for... I dunno, furnishing the royal palace? I'm sure that looks good on official business if you word it that way. It's what I do whenever I wanna deduct Pokémon cards. - Another Freeze-Frame Bonus; this time for literally a single frame◊.Eulogimenos: I'm sorry to be asking so much of you, my boy.
- After a good 124 episodes, the game finally crashes. To escape this, Chugga switches over to Ring Fit Adventure... only to realize that he's stuck because the game doesn't accept Pro Controller inputs.
- All it takes is one Premium Cylinder for Chugga to not only salvage the Orbital Skyreader, but three White-Gold Chests.
- As soon as Chugga returns to Theosoir, he notices that the podium for the Hammershead is called the Altar of the Maul.
- While Chugga begins the conversation with Eulogimenos to start the quest, he questions why he didn't ask his son for help first. Immediately following this, Zeke proceeds with his stretching idle animation and pointing in Eulogimenos' face, causing Chugga to giggle. As if this isn't enough, he starts to see rapid movement right near Zeke, causing Chugga to switch his camera angle and:
- Episode 125: Difficult Decisions
- Indol may have been rather harsh to Gormotti, but this...Jelved: That Gormotti guy Nicc who joined up recently... I think he might have killed my mum and dad.
Zeke: Let's hear the juicy details.
Chugga: YYYOOOU AAANUS! - Yes, because Boreas is clearly a Flesh-Eater. Although...Chugga: I'd like to switch in Nia, 'cause she's gotta do her Level 1 Special, and that's sorta all we can do down here, so, y'know, works out quite we- (Boreas runs up) WHAUUGH! You're not Nia! U-Uhh, either that, or Nia's really been packing on the pounds lately!
- Chugga's apparently reached the same enlightenment as the Nopon Archsage.Kathira: Nobody can live a perfect life, unless they're some kind of god.
Chugga: (beat) I dunno, man. Gods ain't so perfect. - When a Phonex reveals that Vandham was an alias all along, Mòrag reacts with a speech bubble containing a single exclaimation point. Three guesses what audio Chugga adds over this.
- The Stinger has Rex, Nia, Mòrag, and Zeke standing over Garfont Village as if they were a family. ...And then Zeke poses.Chugga: That's our Zeeeke~! That'd be the name of the sitcom.
- Indol may have been rather harsh to Gormotti, but this...
- Episode 126: Looking Forward
- May the 4th be with you, indeed. Incidentally, Rex shares his name with a clone trooper captain.Chugga: Execute Level 66...
- Chugga's reaction to Mythra reaching Trust Rank S5.
- Uh-oh. Kasandra's bad luck is starting to leak into the real world, and not even Chugga's immune to it.Chugga: Now we go all the way to the end of the ruins to talk to Kasandra. (runs past the end of the ruins and straight off a cliff) Oh crap, that was the—NO! ...Well, enjoy this last view of the World... Tree...
Rex: WAAAAAH! (after respawning) That was poorly judged.
Mythra: Again?!
Chugga: ...The shade they throw is exquisite. - Ready, Electra? Kick the Baby!
- Chugga is all ready to go head up to the World Tree, when all of a sudden, a phone rings:
- May the 4th be with you, indeed. Incidentally, Rex shares his name with a clone trooper captain.
- Episode 127: The Boy Who Climbed The Tree
- Well, Chugga's a fan of The Legend of Korra, RWBY, Steven Universe... Aw, what the hay? They're every bit as as good as Xenoblade Chronicles 2.Chugga: Also, Pyra saying that we need to hurry, and Rex being like, "Why?" (wheezes) What you call mindless filler, I call building a narrative!
- Chugga presents the audience with the absolute majesty that is "Yggdrasil"... only to get interrupted early on into the song.Chugga: (Gilligan Cut to the Familion Sovereign being defeated) And that's what happens to people who interrupt my Xenoblade music.
- Some of the comments were quick to point out the absurdity of the World Tree expedition.ShockDragon: You know what's funny? Amalthus climbed up the tree, while we take an elevator.
Chugga: You know what they say, hard work is for suckers!
- Well, Chugga's a fan of The Legend of Korra, RWBY, Steven Universe... Aw, what the hay? They're every bit as as good as Xenoblade Chronicles 2.
- Episode 128: Cycle of Hatred
- Chugga recounts a story of getting to the part where you get to name the Third Aegis in a previous playthrough, and the game's random blinking mechanics causes Rex to be on a still frame with his eyes half-closed, making it look like he's wistfully thinking about Pyra and Mythra.
- This absolute gem of a Non Sequitur.
- Episode 129: How Long is Forever?
- After Pandoria "pokes" a Soverign "in the butt with a cattle prod", Chugga muses on their notable design flaw.Chugga: Little did the ancient Morythans know that by giving robots legs, by default, you're giving them an ass.
- The waiting game comes with a lot of bottled-up emotions.Chugga: Look at this! Haywire Radclyffe! Oh, is that when he yells EXPECTO PATRONUM?! (wheezes) YES, I'VE BEEN WAITING TO SAY THAT FOR YEARS! IT WAS MY IMMEDIATE THOUGHT WHEN I SAW HIM! AND YOU THOUGHT IT, TOO! YOU'RE JUST AS PATHETIC AS I AM!
- While going over the new Poppiswap parts unlocked with the final technical manual, he gets tired of saying "five" over and over since that's what rank most of the unlocked parts are.Chugga: How does Jon put up with this? No wonder he rolls his eyes when other people do it at Thrown Controllers... (when it's over) I have never hated the number five so much in my entire life.
- After Pandoria "pokes" a Soverign "in the butt with a cattle prod", Chugga muses on their notable design flaw.
- Episode 130: Thunderbird
- Chugga doesn't even need to say anything to start off the video. He just leaves it to Pandoria dabbing and Zeke posing with his hands.
Episodes 131-140
- Episode 131: Desperation
- Chugga's incredible response to one cutscene being literally 9 steps away from another one.Chugga: Brilliant gameplay!
- The absolute disgust in Chugga's voice at the sight of Black Liver Beans.
- While the outlining of Haze's foreshadowing is absolutely tragic, it also provokes Chugga to do something he hasn't done on his channel since Sunshine.
- In this episode, we discover the Zekenator's hidden weakness: glass elevator walls!
- And you thought we'd be done with these puns after Colosseum.
- Haywire Phoebus somehow aggroed the party on the other side of a closed door.
- Mood Whiplash is certainly one way to make a pun.Chugga: YOU'RE the Haywire Phoebus! There it is! Hey, hey! Do you evolve into a Haywire Milotic?! Ever hear that one before?! I didn't think you did! ...Because you live a very lonely existence here atop the World Tree.
- The Stinger. Just... The Stinger.
- Chugga's incredible response to one cutscene being literally 9 steps away from another one.
- Episode 132: Surgical Strike
- Has there ever been a Bait-and-Switch so cruel before?Chugga: I know what I wanna do. (cut to Zenobia) There's a Blade that I've been meaning to talk about... for a stupidly long time. It's kinda ridiculous that it's as overdue as it is. (Smash Cut to a Common Blade) Shishi!
Shishi: You can count on me.
Chugga: I am not joking. - The fact that Azurda's voice is coming out of Rex's mouth.Chugga: That is the most cursed thing I've ever seen; may we never speak of it again!
- So much for not turning your entire audience into a waifu...Chugga: Tora's laying on the ground, and Mòrag is stepping on his face! (beat) Someone out there wishes they were him.
- Blink your ears and you'll miss it, but...Chugga: Uhh, Tora, get up, please! Tora, get up, get up, get up! Wake Up, Get Up, Get Out There!
- Even when it's a Story Blade, Chugga can't be proud of them maxing out their Affinity Chart due to sheer objectivity.Dromarch: I have unlocked my true potential!
Rex: G'awh, that's incredible!
Chugga: ...Eh, it's alright. - When Chugga awakens his new Core Crystals, one of the Common Blades he gets is named Tsumugi. ...Just guess what he edits in.
- Has there ever been a Bait-and-Switch so cruel before?
- Episode 133: Rain
- The utter Humiliation Conga that is the Spirit Lexos getting toppled into a branch of the World Tree.Chugga: Topple Arts work on him! (Lexos falls) Oh, come on, guys! You're really gonna launch?! (Lexos is caught in a Blowdown) Uh-... You smashed him dow- (Lexos plummets; Beat) That was the greatest emotional rollercoaster I have ever experienced. Wow!
- This is more humiliating than Chugga getting πed in the face.Chugga: Poppibuster, er- Poppibuster... Poppi QT wants to defeat a Blade Bot at the World Tree!
Flavor Text: I corrected myself and was still wrong! - Leave it to the Zekenator to level up while he's dead.
- The Fridge Logic crossing Chugga's brain of the Familion Sovereigns, on their little motorcycles, being inside of the Mk. VI Gerolf, comparing it to the likes of Power Rangers. ...Which causes him to go on a tangent about his parents forbidding him from watching it due to being "too violent", and his vendetta against it for killing off Sonic SatAM.
- Trolling Creator of the highest pedigree. Observant viewers have noticed that when Chugga awakens a Rare Blade, he tends to show off the full awakening animation. ...Not this time. Full animation leads to a Common Blade.Chugga: (beat) Had you going, didn't I? (giggles) I can't make a big deal out of it every time it is going to be one, otherwise, there'd be no tension in the moment, where you'd go, like, "Oh my god, is he gonna do it?" Now you don't know! I really would give a few seconds of screen time to a useless Blade to fake you out!
- Chugga reveals an alternative method to taking down Amalthus: Using a Blowdown Art on him, causing him to fall into his own hole and die instantly. ...Which is the reason why he brought Ursula, as she has a higher chance of Blowdown than most Blades.
- The utter Humiliation Conga that is the Spirit Lexos getting toppled into a branch of the World Tree.
- Episode 134: Reaching Elysium
- Do you really need further proof that Chugga is the biggest Xenoblade Fan Boy out there?Chugga: Welcome back to more Xenoblade Chronicles 1. (beat) I want you to know that I love basically every single thing about that, and it was the most hype moment of this entire adventure for me?
- Who knew Zeke was a 1960s Russian history buff?Chugga: ...Ou-u-uch! Mor Ardain's got it rough enough, and you're just gonna let 'em have it like that, Zeke? "Yeah, we're the first of our people in space, and everything, and we've reached our ultimate goal, where we need to go to save the world, but, nah, I think I'll just bring up how much your country sucks! (beat) No, no! I'll say that your country sucks so bad, that I can tell how bad it sucks... from space!"
- Do you really need further proof that Chugga is the biggest Xenoblade Fan Boy out there?
- Episode 135: It's Lonely at the Top
- Well, when you spent most of your life being raised by Amalthus, whaddaya' expect?Zeke: Hm, no go. Won't make a sound... Sad, really. If it was still working, I could have given everyone a taste of the Zekenator's Fifth...
Chugga: Are we opening this can of worms, right here and now, the fact that Zeke is apparently, in addition to all of his many physical talents, a mad organ player? And he's actually composed his own sonatas to be played on it, and everything? - Way to go, Chugga. You made Rex feel even more guilty in this mindscrew.Chugga: Also, this spot is messed up to bring me to, because it's right next to that chest I said I'd picked up, but I didn't, other, so it has another wound for me!
- Well, when you spent most of your life being raised by Amalthus, whaddaya' expect?
- Episode 136: The Last Gift
- ...Well, Chugga didn't exactly fake us out.Chugga: We're gonna start off by focusing in on a very interesting part of Pyra... (zoom in on the third Aegis' chest; "Πνευμα" pops up) This text!
- So much for not wanting to use Electra when Haze died...
- The final battle has finally begun... only for Zeke to just up and collapse.
- ...Well, Chugga didn't exactly fake us out.
- Episode 137: Crossing Dimensions
- Chugga tries to showcase Prometheus, but ends up defeating Malos and Aion by complete accident.
- Malos has activated Prometheus, and the world is coming to an end. What is Rex's response to this?Rex: Nicely done!
- ...Well, considering that Tetsuya Nomura did the character designs for Torna, this was bound to happen at some point.Chugga: (beat) Oh, you wanna know more about the Conduit, and where exactly it comes from? Well, the information on what exactly the Conduit is was... not dropped in the game's story, not in a sidequest, not in the art book; not even on Twitter, but... DAT DA-DAT DAAA!!! A slip of paper included with a model kit that was only released in Japan! ...Hey, at least it's better than Kingdom Hearts dropping canon lore for the main story in Japan-only mobile games and Japan-only symphonies.
- Just when you thought the Jump Scares were over...Chugga: So, if Zanza leaves his body behind in this universe... what about Meyneth?
(Infernal Guldo appears) - Considering that the rest of the video is mostly fluff, what else are you gonna add?Amalthus: Father... Why do you not answer when I call...
Hello, it's your dad.
- Episode 138: Really Feeling You
- How do you warm up after so long without fighting?Azami: I got chills! This is better than being in love! Ahahahahaha!
Chugga: (Beat) Azami's creepy, and I love it! - What would Chugga do for Nia? Catch a grenade, throw his head on a blade, jump in front of a train, or... just do what he normally does?Chugga: And what cliff do I have to jump off for this one? (just needs to use Nia's favorite Vegetable Pouch Item four times) Oh, I just have to do this. Okay.
- You need to learn how to step up your surprise game, YouTube.Chugga: I'm really feelin' ya, maaan! What a lovely surprise this was! I didn't spoil it in no stinkin' thumbnail to get the clicks! I really wanted you to be surprised if you hadn't seen this before!
- ♪The Archsage is a dinosaur of Monolith's creation...♪Nopon Archsage: Despite appearance, Nopon Archsage is hundred million times age of Tora.
Rex: A hundred million? I'm not buying it.
Chugga: I found out today that Barney is two hundred million years old, and I don't know how to feel about this information. That just reminded me of that.- He goes over it more in the comments, and... it just gets worse.John the Crossover Master: You mean Barney the Dinosaur? Well, he's a dinosaur, of course he's millions of years old.
Chugga: You don't understand. PJ and Baby Bop are 2 and 3 years old! It's messed up!
John the Crossover Master: Okay, that is messed up.
- He goes over it more in the comments, and... it just gets worse.
- Now the game is offering blink-and-you'll-miss-it moments, and Chugga just ain't having that◊.
- ...Maybe behind that bang of hers is an all-seeing eye?Mòrag: Evening is upon us, it seems.
Chugga: Mòrag, how can you tell? - Klaus must've been really desperate to make his own Aegis from something other than the Trinity Processor.Chugga: Shulk... uses the Monado!
Children: YAAAAAAAAY!!!
Chugga: ...Which behaves the same as a Shield Hammer.
Children: BOOOOOOOO!!!
Chugga: ...Except better in every way!
Children: YAAAAAAAAY!!! - Shulk wants to learn Alrest's alphabet so he can read more about the world. Chugga's response?Chugga: Well, I just happen to own a book, Shulk, that that'll teach you all about that alphabet! Unfortunately, it's in my universe, so you'd have to come here to get it. (Beat; creepy voice) Please do, I dream about it every night.
- All those who complained about Definitive Edition's artstyle? You know who to blame now.Chugga: Doesn't seeing [Shulk] like this just make you want them to remake the first game in this art style? That's exactly what I said the first time I saw this. SO, TO ALL OF YOU WHO WERE LIKE, "XENOBLADE 1 WAS VERY REALISTIC AND NOT AT ALL ANIME AT ALL, WHO WAS ASKING FOR THIS ARTSTYLE CHANGE?" IT WAS I ALL ALONG!!!
- ...Shulk, you're helpless.Shulk: Sharla taught me all I know about support.
Chugga: ...Uh, Shulk. Are you forgetting something? (beat) MELIA'S THE ONLY CHARACTER YOU HAVEN'T MENTIONED YET!!!
Flavor Text: He hadn't actually mentioned Dunban either. I guess he just hates tragic people.- Like we needed a twofer on Shulk's Oblivious to Love scale.Fiora: Hmm, this fish tastes good! ...Mmm, delicious. I know Melia would like it, too.
Chugga: SHE MENTIONED MELIA BEFORE YOU, SHULK, YA' ASS!
- Like we needed a twofer on Shulk's Oblivious to Love scale.
- You say this was a Freudian Slip, Chugga? ...Okay, I believe you.

- Either Chugga's botching up the language, or That Came Out Wrong.
- When Gorg mentions "Blood Cookies", where is a split-second flash of a picture of the "Chugga Cookies"* from TRG Colosseum 2021.
- Clearly, somebody's spent too much time in the orchard.Chugga: (in an obnoxiously factual tone) Um, actually, Pandoria, that is not how you pronounce the name of the country you were born in! Didn't they know anything?! It's like the people who made Pokémon: The First Movie didn't even know that Pikachu's Thunderbolt would, um, do zero damage against Donphan, meaning Ash should've lost that fight?! Don't people know anything about anything? They should've hired me to fact-check these things for them, so I could tell them every time that they are WROOO-
- When going to Fonsett to buy the Armu Earl Grey, Chugga stops by Corrine's house to say hi, only for Poppibuster to land on top of her.Chugga: (as Poppibuster) Don't worry, I am keeping her very safe! She will do fine in my armpit!
- Right after that, Poppi Mk. II pops her head out of the cockpit to Praise the Sun before hitting her head on the lid when it comes back down.Chugga: What are you guys even doing?
- Right after that, Poppi Mk. II pops her head out of the cockpit to Praise the Sun before hitting her head on the lid when it comes back down.

- Episode 140: Eating Before a Fight!
- The sheer bizarreness of Boreas delivering cake to Emperor Niall's quarters while being joined by people who are nowhere near as fast as him results in Chugga spitballing ideas.Chugga: No, you gotta use your imagination for this kinda stuff. You can't just say that it makes no sense, and then call it a day, no. They're there to... explain to the Ardanian military why a huge blur just went through the Imperial Palace and left a cake behind. Just to make sure that the Emperor doesn't think that it has a bomb in it. That's why.
- Who knew Vale's filled-out Affinity Chart had enough gigawatts in it to send Chugga back to the 2000s?Zeke: Rather impressive!
Chugga: I'd say I'm impressed, Zeke! Do you know how easy it is to get those angsty teenage daughters to listen to you? Not that easy! Unless you're, like... the creator of Invader Zim, or something. - Be careful who you call a dweeb in middle school, Chugga.Chugga: (Myrmidon Eugene Blowdowns Zeke off the edge) NO! (wheezes) I lost to a Level 33!
Zeke: NOT AGAAAIIIN!
Chugga: (beat) Did he just say, "not again"?! - Don't rain on her parade, Chugga. Her memory's foggy as is.Chugga: Congratulations... me! I never have to use this crappy Blade ever again! ...I like you, Finch, though. I mean that in a good way! ...No, no, you're just forgetting the definition of "crappy", Finch. I promise, it's very good.
- Somewhere in heaven, Jin and Amalthus are hearing "Ready… GO!"Zenobia: The site of a grand melee 500 years ago, yeah?
Chugga: (beat) You have just thrown every single Super Smash Bros. fan in the audience into an uncontrollable conniption fit. Do you know what you've just done? - Chugga, how do you expect to retrieve more Core Crystals, when we don't have any earthbound operatives left?Chugga: Across all those Unique Monsters, I have a lot of Core Crystals. I was... Break-Topple-Launch-Smashing them over and over again, to make as many pop out per fight as I could, and I don't even know how many I have. (48 Commons, 25 Rares, and 7 Legendaries) WHOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
- Just when it seems like Chugga's about to lose all faith on awakening any new Rare Blades after 28 awakenings...Chugga: I thought, "Ah, I could awaken some Rare Core Crystals; I actually have a pretty high chance of getting Blades right now!" Nnnope! (Rare Blade silhouette pops up) Oohhh, man! (awakens T-elos) ...Yup! (after T-elos' introduction) Complain, and you shall receive.
- Who knew a scrappy girl could also be so clingy?Zeke: Let's go, then!
Zenobia: You picked me, and not Pandoria? ...Nice one!
Chugga: (wheeze) Zenobia! ...Them's fightin' words!
- The sheer bizarreness of Boreas delivering cake to Emperor Niall's quarters while being joined by people who are nowhere near as fast as him results in Chugga spitballing ideas.

- And here, we thought Chugga's dad jokes couldn't evolve further.
- When the levee breaks, the Zekenator'll have no place to stand.Chugga: This looks like it's gonna be a slapstick thing where Zeke's just gonna get water all in his face. (dam explodes on Zeke) BOOOAAAAAUUUGH!!! (basin drains) ...And he's still standing up on his own two feet, 'cause of course he is! He's used to this lot in life!
- It's just as they say, never drink the Kool-Aid.Chugga: Rrready, everybody?! Let's learn more about Zenobia! In battle, for ooo- (poison lake knock Zeke and Zenobia to 0 HP) Ohh, nonononononononononononononono, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, naaaaa- (Smash Cut) Oh no, I came all the way back he-ere!
- Won't you take Andraz to...Zeke: Welcome to Axetown! Population: Your face!
Chugga: "Welcome to Axetown, population: yo' face"?! (Beat) That's the best line I've ever heard! - If awakening Dagas isn't enough to kill Chugga's throat, then smoking a pack of Belmonts surely will.Chugga: WHAT IS A MAAAAAN?!
- Chugga has... a way of expressing his excitement for awakening Dagas.Chugga: Where are your feet for me to be under them? ...And kiss them?

- Going over Sheba's Affinity Chart requirements. This shouldn't be so bad.Chugga: The Armu Milll-UUUAAAAAGH!!! ...Maybe you are as bad as other people say.
- Chugga needed a new barrel of friends.Chugga: (Tora misses crates and gets hurt on a barrel next to a Nopon) Hi. Will you be my new best friend? I need it right now...
- Nunui is clearly saying, "What inside, meh? What inside m- ...Meh?", but what does Chugga add over it?Tora: ♪What is inside box? Sweets, or treats, or socks!♪
- The unfortunate hidden cycle of Blades is on full display.
- Episode 143: The Truth Hurts

- Chugga opens a Treasure Trove, then jumps down, thinking he missed some money. Except...Chugga: ...I mistook Tora for a pile of money. (laughs) I'm sorry, he just looks, uh, so... asset-y.
- It's no wonder Chugga Ship Teases himself with fierce girls.
- On the topic of shipping...

- Chugga recounting all of the travesties at Umon's Shipyard.Chugga: It seems like every single thing goes wrong around Umon's Shipyard, doesn't it? ...I was gonna defy anybody to name one positive thing that happened here, but there was Tora's whole moment of, uh, "No, these not sidekicks! They real friends, Umon!" Tora's so good! And... after a whole game with a certain other Nopon a few years before this one, it was awfully nice to be wanted and appreciated!

- Chugga's rant about how he thinks Healer Blades should have been called "Support" instead due to many of them not actually having much to do with healing. Then, there's his examples:Nia: I do the best healing possible!
Crossette: I heal you passively relative to how much ass I'm kicking!
Adenine: I brought you a potion.
- Adenine has to be the imperfect form of a larger Blade, right?

- You've heard of "Is that a British thing, or a Xenoblade thing?". Now get ready for "Is that British dialect or the translators screwing up their job?"Llonya: Hang on though...what was meant to be the herb for...?
Chugga: Is that grammatically correct? - When Llonya says "I think Therida once told me you could use Amethyst Vanilla to bring someone round!", Chugga reads it to the tune of "All-Star".
- ...Well, that came out of nowhere.
- Apparently, showing Mugi for Tsumugi has evolved into a Running Gag.
- The time has come at long last to awaken KOS-MOS. ...And Chugga's reaction was well worth the wait.

- Just one small problem. Sell their houses to who, Rickard? Fucking Cloud Man?Rickard: Sometimes I think it'd be easier if we just sent 'em back.

- Yeah, man. Nia cried, and stuff.
- Episode 147: School is in Session
- Considering that everything that happened in Indol was pretty grounded in reality... this was bound to happen eventually.Chugga: Aw, those stupid schools that're in destroyed nations, keeping all the tuition and not thinking of you when their country falls! ...Aw, those colleges are all the same.

- Are you sure that Mesulia shouldn't be a teacher in a Red Light District?Mesulia: Ahh... It's so beautiful... My heart... I don't care if we're in class, this is simply...
Chugga: (Beat) ...I think you're leaking, girl. - Well, that's one roundabout way to end off the episode.Chugga: (focuses on the smoke coming out of the chimney) ...Oh my god, they're burning all those copies of The Armu Who Loved; IIII'm gonna rush in and save you!

I don't know if I just have a type, and I like having a girl that pushes me around, or something, but...I'm really amused by her, is the way that I'd put it. I like how she's in a flying bathtub, how she never gets out of this bathtub, and instead just drives it around like a car; it even has a hood ornament on the front! (laughs)
- ...Sheba, you're not even trying to hide what your entourage entails anymore.Sheba: Still, it seems we are all but groping in the dark now.

- It takes losing to a manageable fight instantly to realize... Nia needs to catch up.
- ...You're right, Chugga. Azami wouldn't like being compared to Fluffy the Terrible.Chugga: Blood-Crazed Stalker? (chuckles) Blood-Crazed Stalker, it's like a... a-a yandere? I feel kinda weird saying that word in a video, I'm sorry. I can't really do that with a straight face.
