I was glad that Raphael also mentioned our friends from Brazil who made an extraordinary impact on this conference through our numbers of panels and through an incredible meeting of folks from the global south to look at race and economics and global drug policy, its work that will continue, if they build walls, we build bridges. One of the people who was so extraordinary was a brother named Wagner Morea Campos. He's here with us, he's got to make a flight, and so we thank you for pushing it to the limit. Joining him is our senior manager of international policy, Hannah Hetzer, who speaks about 95 languages and puts us all to shame, but Hannah and Wagner, would you please come to the stage. And I think we need Mike one-turn, Don. Good evening everyone.  But our main aim in coming here was to denounce the genocide of black Brazilians, a genocide that is responsible for the deaths of 60,000 people a year. The war on drugs is a big part of the justification used in white supremacy and the genocide against black Brazilians and incarcerating us and then killing us when we're inside the prisons. A third of the prison population in Brazil is there for trafficking of small quantities of drugs. This month marks the 25th anniversary of the biggest massacre in a Brazilian prison where 111 people were killed behind bars. In the first day of January of 2016, 56 people were killed in a prison in Brazil. So what I'm saying with this is that the war on drugs not only kills us in the streets, it kills us behind bars. We need to decriminalize and legalize the consumption and sale of drugs to end the genocide of black Brazilians. I am certain that these three days of this conference has helped push us to fight for the end of the war on drugs and the end of the genocide of black Brazilians. Thank you.


Uh. Do, do, do, do, do, do. Do, do, do, do, do, do. Do, do, do, do, do, do. Cause this is killer, get it? Kill it. I thought it was going better than that.  This is Hits of Corbin.  Instaglab and Twitter. I'm doing more juicy content. It's Reggie. He's on Patreon, Pwns, Super The Countdown. And they go, squabba! Pelsnaught Personally YouTube channels. He's got one. I got one. We've got one. I've got some serious international stuff coming up Yeah, I looked up all of the films that are in the running for Globes and Oscars Fun fun fun fun. There's at least a hundred that people are talking about You got a lot of work. Got a lot of work to do But today we are doing the movie review as we do often on this channel twice a week usually Sometimes more something new releases and Corbin. What exactly is going on behind us? Oh, that's something the stupid family made For classic month, which is either here or coming up or past us depending on when you see this video Yes, because we don't know when you're watching this video, but February of 2021 or do is classic month We are only watching in terms of just film. We only watching Classic films if you're watching this on January 18th, 2023. Hi. Hi. Nice to see you Um But yes, we are reviewing a Marathi film. Yes called Kila. Yes it's a believe a 2014 film and also this is the Patreon regional selection of the month. Hey, what's that? What what is that quarter miles every month? All patreon members regardless from a dollar tier on up Get to take part in a recommendation and then I take the top four recommendations from the regional and the Hindi And they all go into a poll and we watch a one regional 01 Hindi that they choose wait what if you're on patreon you actually have a say on what we do here on the channel a little bit Little bit. Wow. That's whack. So this was their regional one for this month And I believe it's our I think fifth Marathi just put it on the list. I think you're right. I think it's fifth. Okay But yes 2014 a comedy dropping more of a coming-of-age story Yeah, I would say a 11-year-old Indian boy who has just lost his father's forced to adapt to new School in a small village. It seemed like Kerala to me This story is about how he copes Copes up. Yeah, that's strange. I like Yeah, it's a story about he cokes up and how life has Has to move on transforming a young man's mind into an adult day by day directed by Avanish Arun and then starring Amruta Subash and Archit Deodar as well as a big supporting cast big supporting cast And so if you haven't seen it go watch it. We taught on Netflix short film I think it's our 45 or something like that. Yep. So go watch it. We just like to do spoiler reviews here So Rick your initial thoughts. I have a paragraph. Good. Yeah, but I want I had it's been a while Killa is about people places and moments that shape us How oftentimes we find those we thought were closest to us abandoning us when we felt we needed a most this boy starts the film as shallow and Shellfish as a crab But ends it as deep as the ocean learning the lessons that life is bigger than any one of us and that if you take a Moment to stop and look you'll begin to not hate life for the transience of things But appreciate the miracle that's living life in moment by moment gratitude for every blessing you were allowed to experience We've had three in a row. Mm-hmm. I The more this movie went on the more I loved this movie. Yeah, and it's definitely I Didn't enjoy the film as well There's it's honestly not a lot you can find wrong with this film because the locale I don't know where it was It looked like Kerala and also tell me if that fort is the same fort as in Bombay It seemed like it sure to me especially when they were up on top. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so if let me know if I'm wrong That's what it seemed like. I'm sure that India has a ton. Yeah of forts on on the ocean. Yeah, but they do That's what it seemed like to me So let me know if I'm right, but this is also a first-time director and this little I believe and cinematographer No, he's normally a cinematographer. No, I know I mean he did both the direction and cinematography Yeah, and it is more often a cinematographer. Yeah, and this was his first and then he's I believe taken a break Since then and now it looks like he has one unpaused looks like he is the director of One of the directors of unpaused which I believe is a Hindi film But regardless. Yeah, I I really I really did enjoy this film.  It was like, what was the What was the purpose of that? Yeah, if you if you allow yourself to to wander off and think that what you're seeing Doesn't have a purpose behind it. Yeah, that could easily happen. But if you pay attention Yeah, um, it definitely had a bunch of messages about a bunch of different things but also if you're not paying attention or if you just Lack today's glee watching it because you're you're bored because the it's not an action-filled Story you you might miss it, but There's there's a lot to be said about this film and I think you did a brilliant job in terms of just writing in terms of Obviously cinematography It was not hard to make this film beautiful. It was really but some of his shots come being a cinematographer first You could tell that they were just they were absolutely gorgeous.  Oh, I knew I knew you. I was like what is going on.  They hurt him, but then they're stronger together and then he's like Now I have to do this now. I have to do this again. Yep I I actually thought something was going to happen to him the entire time. I was waiting for the proverbial like Um death yet death or like similar to for a while. I thought it was going like, um Um, why am I forgetting the name of the family walk on the train tracks stand by me? Oh, okay I thought it was going like a stand by me kind of way. Yeah, but yeah I There's a lot. I think if you If I could relate to this movie in a million ways in ways not everybody could relate. Yeah I grew up as an only child raised by my mom. Yeah I never went to the same school two years in a row until I hit high school So and when I was his age It was the first time I ever got grounded in a particular place when my mom and I were living on Delano street in Van Eyes And the buddies that I hung out with it was one of those Hi, mom a way back for dinner and you know, you were out on a Saturday morning And then you were not back till dark when we could go miles away from home And it was just me and rike, lino, chacho, miguel All hanging out together and I vividly. I mean I still remember the names and that aspect of Hanging out with your buddies and then Leaving that and having if if you haven't had stuff Ripped from your life that you wished could stay there Whether it was a parent who died or a loved one or something you won't relate to this as well and and I thought the the Realization he comes to and literally that parallel between the shellfish the crab he he learns the difference between uh Being a selfish person. Mm-hmm and then from the fisherman He gets the larger view which interestingly is out away from where he's living He gets he gets a literal Larger perspective by going outside of where he's typically from and looking at it from the outside in with this man who's The only real male figure you see that he has any kind of an affinity toward in some way and obviously his dad's not there Which is a great scene and they didn't say much great See that's the other thing is the writing in this was so good This movie Feels like in every way the pacing of it and what it does with your imagination. It felt like a book Yeah, it really feels like a book presented and a picture paints a thousand words Uh two notable things i want to point out the first one is um ruta subash The the mom the mom Which we've seen before we we have we've seen her in two places Sacred games and gully boy. Yes. Yeah, and she Simultaneously conveys the courage and strength of a single mom Yeah, as well as the fears and vulnerabilities of a single mom and she does it with an effortless presence as believable as anybody I've seen in indian cinema. I I thought she was Beautiful. Yeah, she did. She did a really good job that that that scene where after Stuff happened to him and then uh, he was all rude, right? Yeah, and then he just came home and she was kind of yelling him and he just went up and hugged her Yeah, and said i'm sorry.  He came about the realizations. He did seemingly in real time Yeah, I mean it's a short film, but it feels long and I don't mean that in a bad way It feels like we actually get to live through This season of his life with him and I found the last moment to be A really perfect button on the end of the whole thing because It conveys the adult perspective.  He also realizes that with his buddies It's no longer about the fact that it's just about him And it isn't what happens to us It's how we responded that because you can't control your circumstances But you can't control how you respond to it and the difference between a mature optimistic person and an immature pessimistic person is the way you view your circumstances and in the end He could have easily become an embittered young man Who just blames his mom for life screwing him up and his friends were taken away, but instead he has this like Wiseness beyond his ears looking at his buddies and rather than hate the fact It's his last moment with them Yeah, he embraces the fact that this is his last moment with them Yeah, and and relishes the fact of wow I may never get to experience this again versus I'm not jumping in because my friends are getting taken away Yeah, you know that's my favorite thing about the film. Yeah the and I want to applaud obviously everybody did really well But once again as we always say it's so difficult to get children to act incredibly well We've seen actually quite a bit in Indian cinema Great kid actors and this is no different. They all I believe every single one of them I believe that they weren't they almost seem like they weren't even acting for the screen Which is a testament to them and the director mostly I can't think of another film. I've seen that has a better child cast My favorite child acting cast well cast the one with Rima Doth the the village rock stars and and um, yeah Bulbul can say but there was more this movie hinged even more on these guys and I especially Applied like okay, so I put down as we're going. I'm keeping track of the things that I think I want to have nominated next year, right? on my list Maybe getting knocked off at some point with other roles but Where's his name? right here Partha Bilaro, I'm sure I mispronouncing his name He's the the young friend who's sticking the gasoline up the dog's butt. Yeah that kid. Yeah, he did really well I just hated him Even the even just the I believed I had no doubt But I had no doubt we were watching kids in class. Yeah, no doubt I definitely I've known kids like every single one of these friends. Oh, yeah, like they're the roles in the friend group Yes, uh, who's the leader who's the clown? Yeah, who's the clown who's the the the one that's the go-getter who's that smart one? Yeah, who's one of the cheats in class? Yeah, yeah So it was it was really a testament to the directing and also I love that little message at the end To my parents. I love that. I wrote that down as well.   Yeah, I'm never gonna. I'll never do to them what they did to me Yeah, and then when you get older, you're like, oh, no, they they were right. Right. That was that was good I'm glad they I'm glad they taught me that lesson Uh, and so once again the testament to the it was like like I said I can't really find anything wrong with this style of film Uh outside of if you just don't like slow films, you might not enjoy but that's not a flaw with the film That's a flaw with your taste. Um Oh The score. Oh, yeah The score often very subtle gorgeous really really good Score was absolutely gorgeous and it really I would admit that I will have an affinity for this In ways I didn't for say the last two we've seen that we've loved which is the great indian kitchen and parched because all three of these are just like back to back to back home runs Yeah, back to back to back home runs and they go so well together. It's really strange But you know the only child aspect I remember my favorite gift I ever got as a child when I was about his age was about 11 years old And I got the dream gift. I wanted which was a mongoose dirt bike And being able to take that mongoose dirt bike out with my buddies and go biking all over the place and doing races and those kinds of things And not having my dad around because my mom and dad had divorced I only got to see my dad every other weekend and the the A different relationship he had with his mom, which I that's a bunny trail to go down He had a very different relationship than I had with my mom But there's so much about that that I could relate to being the new kid making the friends being taken away um, and then the it's just I the more I watched it the more I loved it Yeah, I just I can't find anything wrong with it. Yeah, it's it was an absolutely really good film. Also We really haven't had a bad marathi film. No, I'm looking at our play this right now. So this is the fifth I believe so obviously we're going to be watching a lot more but um, we've had I'm sure obviously there's one that especially you have liked more than others But uh, not some rot side rot Uh the factory Court and court and then this one. Yeah I've I think probably my least favorite is probably the not some rot one Uh, which is kind of not fair, but I would agree. Yeah, totally But it's it was definitely not uh, Nina patekar's fault in that one. Uh, I think it was just the The film itself didn't it wasn't didn't speak to me as much. Yeah, but uh, it was still good But every it's every single other one has been Really good, especially in my opinion. Uh, I know you especially loved I love factory factory I know you liked quarterlock and obviously this one and I know you like side rot You just didn't love it as much as I did. Correct. Um, and I would for me It would be difficult for me because there's such different films Whereas factory is a celebration of things cinema those always hold You know, it's like bird man or hugo these things that are celebratory of the art form Yeah versus a story like this one I'd be hard pressed to say which one's my favorite of these two. Yeah, but I will say this I I was as I was watching this movie toward the end and just Relishing in the score in the direction and the cinematography and the beautiful performances of these kids I was I it really was for me If this may possibly be like a switchover because I Granted we're watching more indian films and I'm watching any other country right now. It's yeah, right However, yeah, including united states of what I'm seeing come out of the united states Coming out of hollywood India's telling better stories But india's telling better universal truth human stories. Like here's the issue We're picking and choosing Some of the best from each year. I know but i'm talking about the stuff in the past couple years that have made it to the award It depends. I've we've said we've had some really great stuff. Yeah, but yeah, but as a whole I just am getting far more Uh, I mean the past three we just watched were one two three where I was like, wow, what a beautiful film I can't remember the last time I saw three films out of hollywood that I said beautiful film three in a row Three in a row three in a row, but you know, once again, we usually watch them that the new ones that come out this year We're going through their entire history and even when I watch sag screeners. Yeah, but I'm once again That was just those years. Yeah, as opposed to these this was those 2014 films So we picked out a great film from 2014 the next time we're going to pick out a great film from 2017 Yeah, so it's it's it's not really fair because obviously I could pick a great film from hollywood from 2014 And then I could pick a great film from set uh 2017 Sure to show somebody who's never seen it sure and they would think that same So it's it's not really fair, but I understand what you're saying Um, like even a film as good as enjoyable and as well done as bombshell. Yeah, or Um, but peanut butter falcon, bro. Peanut butter falcon is great But compared to like this compared to peanut butter falcon. I like this better than peanut butter falcon I could watch peanut butter falcon more Oh, no, I mean, yeah, I loved peanut butter. Well, I know charlie buff has some stuff right now, which is really sad, but yeah Uh, which makes it really upset. Uh, but anyways that we're off on a buddy trail now. Sorry This was great. Uh, let us know what's the next morothy film We show I know there's a bunch in the can that people people fan tree I know, uh, I think jogua was one I know there's a bunch and I'll be really excited for both that young man and for Mala in this that we've seen in gully boy and sacred games. I thought she was yeah, absolutely great Beautiful. Let us know what you wish to watch next down below


Hello, this is Weyland and I'll be talking about Gresham's law which was devised in the 16th century by Sir Thomas Gresham And Sir Thomas Gresham said bad money drives out good So let's figure out what what he meant by that, but let me first say that you know Gresham's law forms the underpinning for the requirement under Securities law that there be full plain and timely disclosure of information Now let's see what what Sir Thomas Gresham meant using a contemporary example devised by Professor Ackerlof Using the used car market. So let's say half of the cars in a used car market is made up of good cars So these are these are cars that are in good working condition and These cars these good cars are are worth on average about $15,000 The other half to the of the used car market is made up of bad cars or what we'll call lemon so these cars you know do not do not work well and The average value of those cars is about $10,000 So the consumers looking for a used car Don't really know, you know, which is a good car and which is a lemon There's no look there's no easy way to tell the difference between the two so so what happens as a consequence of that is that Generally buyers are afraid of buying a lemon when they go out into the used car market They don't know if it's a good car or a lemon So that causes the average price of all the used cars including the good cars to be driven down to a price, let's say of about $12,000 So what happens then because the price is driven down to $12,000 if if you are an owner of a good car You you don't want to sell your car for just $12,000 because you know it's worth $15,000 So you try to try to sell it to to someone who trusts you and knows that the car is a good car And is willing to pay the full $15,000 so you would typically sell To your friends and relatives so you pull your good car out of the used car market Or don't put it into that used car market to begin with and sell it only to friends and relatives Who know that the car is a good car and is willing to pay for that So what happens is that many of the good cars leave the used car market and we're left with mostly lemons In that in that market So that market that used car market becomes dominated by lemons and that Consequently causes most used car buyers to be to be afraid to enter that market to buy any car Because they're they're afraid of buying of buying a lemon So these users so sorry these these buyers Leave the market so what that causes is market failure there are cars on the market and Few or fewer no buyers for those for those cars So from a from a financial markets perspective the reason that we have Securities law requirement of full plain and timely disclosure is so that is so that So that investors have enough information to be to be able to make informed decisions of what are good and bad Investments for them so that they have the confidence to to go into the investment market and to invest their money As opposed to keeping their money out of the financial markets and investing them in alternative investments such as let's say real estate or Or gold bullion


Good afternoon. Howard Wigg, Code Green, Think Tech Hawaii. Do we have an exciting program today or what? The new future is going to unfold before your eyes in the form of Josh Powell, CEO of Revolution, one of Hawaii's larger or maybe largest solar companies. We like to think so. Yeah. And disclaimer, disclaimer, we are featuring one company today, but this in no way implies that the State Energy Office or Think Tech Hawaii endorses this particular company. Hawaii is one of the nation's leaders in solar energy, and there are a lot of perfectly good companies out there in addition to Josh Powell's company. So welcome to the program, Josh. Thank you so much for being here. So the program or the title of our program is Batteries or the Future. And you say, no, wait a minute. I thought we were talking about solar as in photovoltaics. So Josh, why are batteries the future of solar energy? So you know, one of the anecdotes I like to repeat when I'm talking to new customers about storage and about batteries in their homes is, you know, 10 years ago when we started the business, I remember sort of talking to customers about having an appliance in their garage someday that would store enough energy for a day or two and enable them to have other things that you didn't get with a traditional grid tide PV system like resilience, maybe more control over energy, additional capacity, lots of other things that a grid tide battery without storage doesn't do. Now grid tide means on your roof, your photovoltaic system is creating electricity and that's going directly into Hawaiian electric grid.  But if you're not consuming it at the time and it's still producing, then it just goes back to the grid and either your neighbors use it or somebody else uses it. And the battery allows you as a consumer to have much more direct control over what's happening and to choose how you use it. And that really changes the whole game for everybody. So why don't you, can you walk us through kind of a brief history of photovoltaics in Hawaii? And I emphasize again, per capita, we are probably the nation's leader in this field. We're, I think you're real safe saying that we're absolutely the leader per capita. We're one of the most PV dense areas in the world. And in battery storage, we're absolutely the leader in the nation right now. But yeah, going back to say like 2007, 2008, when the market started to gain some steam, we first had changes in incentives or risk of changes in incentives. The risks actually didn't materialize in 2008. Incentives got extended. And so in 2009, 2010, you started to see the residential PV market really gain some steam. And usually we find that residential sort of leads commercial a little bit. Consumers are more confident or maybe they experiment more with their homes first, the early adopters. So we started to see us, the market go from hundreds a year to literally thousands a year. And in the period of 2011 to 2013, we started seeing crazy huge numbers like 10,000, 15,000 systems a year on Oahu on a grid where there's only 150,000 single family homes. So you can see how that starts to change the dynamic of who's producing energy relatively quickly. And then we started to obviously have an impact on how the grid was functioning to some degree. And I think more directly, you have enough people generating energy that you also started to erode generation revenue for the utility, which sort of woke up the utility from a policy perspective. And in the 2012 to 2013 timeframe started to work to change some of the rules to slow things down a little bit. Namely to discontinue net energy metering. Yeah. And it started, we really, nobody I think anticipated how fast solar would grow. Maybe not even us. Well, there was a little thing called, was it 30% state tax credit and 35% federal or reverse that? You know, the credits are powerful in Hawaii. But I think the single biggest factor in the 2008 to 2013 period was the price of oil. So all of our energy in Hawaii was essentially being produced by oil. Then it was 95% in 2008. It's about 80% today. And when oil went to $100 a barrel and $150 a barrel, energy prices, we were paying retail rates 35 cents a kilowatt hour. And that was on this island. And the neighbor islands are even more expensive. So when you think about that, that's three or four times what you might pay for the same energy on the mainland. Yeah, the typical mainland cost is 11 to 12 cents. And so three, three X, maybe four X on the neighbor islands. So there's not very many things in Hawaii you pay, you know, we pay more for most things, but we don't usually pay three or four times as much. And so when consumers realize they could do things that would drop that cost dramatically, usually by half, then they moved really quickly. And it's easy to scale with residential. So as that started to happen, obviously HECO focused on changing some rules with the PUC. And we started seeing those rule changes in 2013 at first by changing the rules so that you had to wait longer to get a system, sometimes eight to 12 months, maybe longer. That slowed things down quite a bit in 2014. And then ultimately net metering went away or the first state to stop net metering. And that sort of brought on this new market that we're talking about today. And if I can from an amateur standpoint explain what Hawaiian Electric's concern was, there in the middle of a sunny day, there was so much electricity produced by photovoltaics that they can back off their generating plants only so much.  They were backing off the power plants as much as they could and there was still too much electricity in the middle of the day. Is that a good summary? Yeah. I mean, when you think about it, the grid on Oahu is 1.2 gigawatts roughly. And so you have to, as a utility, you have to generate, you have to build capacity to support whatever the maximum of that grid is. And some of it you have to keep running all the time, whether you're using it or not. And fossil fuel generation doesn't ramp up and down very quickly. Some forms can ramp faster than others, but for instance coal, heavy diesel plants, those are not particularly fast. And so yeah, it presents a problem. The electrical energy we're getting from the sun, these are photons converting into electrons and creating current. It's moving at the speed of light. It's only limited by how fast it can move through wires and that maybe takes it to a third of the speed of light, but it's, you know, many, many, many orders of magnitude faster than what you can do with a fossil fuel generated energy. Especially considering the fact that there's something up there called clouds. Yeah. And you get a great big cloud coming over, big sunny.  Now Hawaiian Electric has to respond just like that. Yeah. Can absolutely ramp up and down quickly. Yep. Absolutely. So that's the problem from Hawaiian Electric's standpoint. Yeah. As a utility presents a conundrum, how are you going to support the grid?  So there can be some net benefits, but those benefits can't really be realized unless you can put that energy somewhere in some form of storage. You know, and there's lots of ways, lots of creative ideas on how to do that, but what's happened now in just the last few years is the availability and cost of lithium storage, battery-based storage has come down dramatically and that's really started to change things. Yeah. So why don't we go into the duck curbs? It's a good time to, yeah, if we could bring up a duck curb slide here and examine it for a while. Okay. What in the world is going on with all these jiggly lines here now? So this is a great slide that actually was, I think, originally authored by HECO. This is a HECO slide and it illustrates what it's called the duck curve now. When it was originally presented, they characterized it as the Nessie curb because it looks a little bit like the Loch Ness monster and maybe there was some desire to get a bit of a monster in it, but basically that big gray curve is people coming home, turning on air conditioners, televisions, cooking, and you see that the needed generation goes up dramatically in the evening. Why don't you walk us through the whole slide starting with the left side there? Yeah. So early in the morning, the least amount of energy consumption, you see that yellow curve is sort of solar energy, a typical, well, actually, sorry, that's commercial load profile. They don't have a solar overlay, but if you were to look at a solar overlay, you would imagine almost a bigger peak over that yellow curve. But in that yellow zone that's highlighted in the center, that's your primary production. And you see your primary consumption during that period is commercial energy users. Residential load profiles go at their lowest during the middle of the day. So if you think about a residential net meter PV system, that works great. You produce energy and then use it at night and you get full credit for it. But the argument from the utilities perspective and what's shown here is that because it's decreasing in the middle of the day in terms of demand and you're producing all your energy, then they have to solve that other problem, which is the demand increase that comes later. And again, that's on the right side. And you're seeing that stark rise in consumption because, number one, everybody's coming home from school and work, turning on the TV, turning on the hot water, the stove, the oven. And this being a tourist economy, all the tourists are coming home from the beach or from shopping and the hotel rooms are going mad. And then they're going to the restaurants. There's no question that it's a real thing. I think we would argue that there's lots of ways to deal with it. You can use some load controls. You create some adaptations. But I think in general, people don't like to be told to change their behavior. So if there's another way you can help with that, I think that's probably, becomes the most acceptable thing. And we're kind of lucky. These storage technologies have been around for, lithium ion technology is over 30 years old. It's been around for a long time. We've been using it in our laptops and our power tools for quite a while. But it's been moving lots of improvements have been coming in, including electric vehicles. And that's really changed the pricing structure and made it more accessible. Yeah. Yeah. Something called mass production and improvements in technology all the time. But before we go any further on this, we need to take a brief break. Howard Wigg, ThinkTech Hawaii Code Green with Josh Powell. Powell, CEO of Revolution. Back in a minute. I'm Jay Fidel, ThinkTech.

Law Across the Sea is on ThinkTech Hawaii every other Monday at 11 a.m. Please join me where my guests talk about law topics and ideas and music and Hawaii Anna all across the sea from Hawaii and back again. Aloha. Good afternoon again, Howard Wigg, Code Green with Josh Powell, CEO of Revolution. And we're talking about the Loch Ness monster and ducks and the explanation of the duck curve from any electrical demand standpoint and what in the world we're going to do with storage. So can we bring that other slide up, please? Slide to. Yeah, there we go. Now what in the world is going on with this orange circle here, Josh? So I like to color orange. So I put a big orange marker on there. But basically, I'm trying to carve out what I see as an opportunity instead of a challenge. And utilities generally present this as a big challenge and they use it initially as a way to fight additional PV integration and additional non-utility controlled renewable energy resources. And when you think about that excess demand there that's sort of above the sort of normal consumption we see in the other parts of the day, you know, once you have digital control over energy in time and that's what a battery does for you, you can shift that. So you can produce it a few hours before you need it and then use it. Or with a lithium ion battery, you could produce it almost a year before you need it and then use it. So we, when you think about our electrical grid, we've never ever had that in the 120 odd years that we've been playing with electricity. We've never been able to move energy around that way other than in a barrel of oil. And it takes a long time to convert a barrel of oil into electrons, whereas a battery, light speed, instantaneous. And again, we're storing that energy in the middle of the day when there's actually too much electricity being produced. Instead of it going to the grid and, you know, being redistributed or maybe lost, line loss, things like that, you're storing it right there at relatively high efficiency. So you're talking about five to 10% loss in the storage, whereas you might have 30 or 40% line loss in distribution. Now that five to 10% loss, we grew up with lead acid batteries and I believe that their loss was a lot higher than that. You're stretching me. Stretching, okay. Yeah, I try not to pay too much attention to lead. I mean, it's certainly been around and it's been a staple of the PV industry, particularly off-grid for a long time. Lead acid is a good example of a, you know, technology that's been around since almost the beginning of electricity and not really a tremendous amount of improvement. But I think it's actually, you know, you sort of segue into another important point. Lead has sort of been the, let's say, that's the baseline cost-effective battery out there. And what's happened in the last three years is lithium ion has come down, in the last five years, it's come down 70% in cost. And so it really wasn't obtainable at the kind of scale you'd need for electric vehicles and homes until just the last few years. But it's now happening pretty rapidly. And like you pointed out earlier, that's really just a factor of scale. Once there's demand in the marketplace and we start to scale these products, then we start to generate more manufacturing efficiencies. And those efficiencies lead to cost reductions, just like, you know, I think you and I can both remember maybe the Commodore 64, some early computing technologies and, you know, think about the memory we have in our cell phones now. Or even the memory in certain watches. I think, you know, more powerful than probably all the computers that existed in 1980, you know, 87. And, you know, we see the same thing happening with storage technology. So it really puts consumers in a great position where these products are scalable and accessible and affordable.  You can produce it, you can store it. That opens up new options for how you might utilize it, whether it's safety, security, resilience. I think for Hawaii, we don't talk much right now about resilience. But when we look at these hurricanes, Michael, Rodrigo. I'll be speaking at a resilience conference tomorrow. That's another huge benefit of these systems. And, you know, there's other things they can do in the grid to support the utility, actually make it easier to deal with other forms of generation that are already on the grid. Absolutely. And one really good example of what you're talking about was the fact that early in the PV game, the electricity went into the grid period. Then when there's an outage, what happens to all that live electricity going into the lines? So electric was very, very concerned about that. Well, you're the code guru, anti-islanding, right? So all PV equipment has to stop, essentially, or disconnect in the event of a grid outage so that, you know, any line workers, anybody that has to go fix the grid is going to be safe. So the system is shut down, they actually take five minutes to come back online. Those are all code-directed requirements that the equipment has to follow. So when you buy a battery system now, you've now created a microgrid, and we would kind of like to call it at the home level a nano grid, a very small grid unto itself. It has a built-in automatic disconnect. So in a grid outage, the system disconnects itself. So the line workers are safe? They're safe. And now the whole house is still in general. You can do different systems. We tend to focus on systems that will support the entire house. You can do part of the house. You don't have to do the whole house. You could do an emergency panel. But we find that most consumers would prefer to just have the whole thing done.  That's a very popular product that we sell. But there's a number of other manufacturers kind of coming into the game, too. Tesla kind of led the way with a lower cost product and good application controls that I think really reach the consumer. That was kind of interesting. It's not, when you think about the PV industry, we're kind of, you know, we haven't had like an Apple or a, you know, a brand like that in our business. And so I think it brought a level of consumer awareness that wasn't really common. Yeah. Good oldie Elon Musk revolutionizing things. And so if I understand it correctly, back in the bad old days, applying for storage in a permit, you have to go through the building permitting department. It was, it took a long time. It did. Yeah. But recently we passed the 2017 National Electrical Code and it has whole chapters on storage and the safe design of the storage batteries and the safe installation of the storage batteries. So as I understand it, all the applicants like yourself need to do is in essence tell the plan reviewer, I'm complying with NEC 2017. And they'll look it over. Yep, you are. Boom. Here's your permit. Is it that kind of simple? I think for a new product, it's always a little bit challenging with department of permitting. We work with them closely and we've developed, we're not the only ones, other installers too, develop materials and methods permits for specific products. And that allows us to get basically an instantaneous permit. So we don't find that we have a lot of delays there. When you're doing something really unique, sometimes you can run into that. And there's other commercial buildings. They still take usually a couple months, but residential permits aren't really a problem for residential PV and storage. You can usually get them really quickly. And everything's still there, like the tax credits are still there. Obviously the savings, there's in the non-export tariff, customer self-supply, which is a tariff that came out after net metering closed, you can get utility approval usually in about two weeks. So it's very quick. And that's kind of a misperception that some people hang on to from a few years ago that it takes a long time. We've seen now that the products have stabilized. There's enough of them. And the rules have kind of stabilized. We're actually starting to see pretty strong growth where I think Debet said last year, 2017, there was about 750 grid tied batteries installed on Oahu. We expect that to be basically triple or quadruple this year. So they're moving a lot faster now. And from the safety standpoint, it takes just one accident to spook everybody. And we had the famous Kahuku fire. Do you know enough about that? The wind tower? Yeah, I mean, that's a different kind of battery. And so, I mean, like anything, you can put more energy into something than you should. And that can cause problems. So I would say we're very comfortable with the residential batteries that we see out there. One, we haven't seen any problems like that. They have built in controls that prevent them from taking too much energy. That particular system, the Kahuku battery was an older system and perhaps wasn't designed right for the amount of energy a turbine can put in. Wind turbines can also, once the wind gets going, it's hard to slow them down. But there's always, you see that, I think the common thing is you'll see the videos of the Tesla car or something like that. Because it's new, we focus on it. We don't see a video every day for every fossil fuel car that burned out. Every once in a while, you'll be driving down the freeway and you'll see one. And I'm glad I wasn't in that. But I think fundamentally these systems have a lot of safety built in. You know, from the code that they have to be designed to disconnect, not to overcharge. The Tesla systems, which I'm most familiar with, have a secondary, they sit in a bath. The cells are actually about the size of a AA battery. It's actually kind of stuff we would all be very familiar with. They don't look like that when they're all put together, but they sit in a bath of coolant so that even if one went down or one had a problem, then the coolant would essentially keep the others from propagating that. And this is what the plan checkers are really concerned with. Health and safety above everything else. And I think these batteries from your description have been designed for real, real health safety. We've got over 500 systems deployed at this point. Some, maybe about 20% of those for the state of Hawaii on schools haven't had any problems like that with any of them. And it actually had very few problems at all. I think they're very safe. We heard more about that a few years ago, and I think there's been enough out there that people feel pretty comfortable. Bad news is real news. Good news is, yeah. So on that cherry note, we must bring this to a close. Howard Wigg, Code Green, thank you so much, Josh Powell, CEO of Revolution. Thank you, Howard. Must have been a pleasure.


Actually, before I started my academic career in gender studies, I was in an entirely different industry. I was in the hospitality industry, worked actually in a few places, and then you just feel the inequalities, and I wasn't able to name them and to express what I was feeling. And yeah, I started inquiring randomly and eventually it led me to gender studies. I think our course in the Centre for Gender Studies does not make any generalization about gender, so we also look beyond questions of identity and political representation, and really try to look at gender in a more structural way. And our curriculum really goes hand in hand with SOAS overall, the colonial approach, so it's really given voice to scholars, communities, and our students, whose voices are not necessarily in the mainstream. Well, I wouldn't say there's such a thing as a typical student, however, I think there's something very special about students who pursue gender studies. Everyone has a story to tell, everyone has a story to relate. We actually have great conversation in class, you know, like Lincoln, the outside world with what we read. Many of our students pursue academic studies after a while, and yeah, that's really like, since it's a very activism-driven kind of discipline, we usually have, you know, nice networks for support, for peer teaching, for peer support, et cetera, et cetera. And yeah, I would say, yeah, this is what makes our students special. Well, I think I would give them the advice that when I first came to SOAS in 2011, an MA student who was doing the gender studies course gave me, actually she likened the course and the whole academic year to a train, because postgraduate, you know, program in the UK goes really, really fast. So it's really important to be able to get on the train on board, because you do not want to be, you know, running behind it. But hopefully, I mean, between us course conveners, you know, your peers in the class, your peers at SOAS and the different support system that SOAS offers, it should be okay. Everyone gets on the train in gender. I consider myself a feminist Middle Eastern gender studies researcher. I'm really interested in, you know, the whole dynamics of gender within the Middle East. Yes, I focus on women's right, but I also want to look at, you know, the relationships between women and men. So I'm not really into, you know, binarizing, let's say, men and women separately. I'm very interested in areas related to emotions and affect. So for example, my research, current research is how young people in Lebanon negotiate between their love feelings and the social category of sex. So it's really trying to link, to give voice really to two emotions, right, which are often left out as not enough credible scientific knowledge.


What's going on guys my name is Jack you can call me as you know we will come back to ultimate ninja storm to today We get to hold. I think we're gonna see the the kakazoo fight the heat on fight We can caution all them and awesome on all them. I'm very excited. This is like oh, oh shoot I was planning on running the whole way. Hold on. Hang on really quickly before we get into this episode If you are new to the channel be sure to subscribe and hit that big blue bell So you don't miss any future episodes we posted one yesterday the day we should get into the fight We just got to just heat on kakazoo and we're gonna see how it goes What's wrong You're leaving on a mission. Yeah What you're worried Just who do you think I am anyway? I'm not gonna mess up that easily I know that but I'll be back before you know it. Stop. I know See you soon. Okay. All right Oh This is painful dude Actually painful. Let me make sure my audio sources are correct. Okay. Good. I just want to make sure Don't want to mess up If I ever had to re-record one of these that'd be that would suck because I want you guys to see like my first reaction to everything In terms of like stuff like this because like I've seen the show before But the game like produces it in such a way. Oh shoot Isn't that awesome asensei and shikamaru Hey Well, this is rare seeing you two together like this. It's a long story. They're going on a mission. Awesome asensei. That's right What about you guys? We're just on our way to meet up with naruto. I see But when you see him tell him to train awesome knows how important he is Of course later you do your best to count on it Because he knows that he said train hard. He knows that the akatsuki are here for him. We should probably go to Yes Oh, is this where we break off. No because naruto is doing his training Oh, they're gonna walk up on his training All the clones Oh, no They're just all standing there.  We're managing sighs been working really hard. No Don't listen to her. And what about you? He's embarrassed with the training. So for the chakra nature transformation Wow, so you're actually learning, huh? Well, keep it up. Oh, that's right We just ran into awesome asensei and he said to tell you to train hard Glad to hear it awesome asensei really helped me out awesome was on a mission Oh, well, you should know Well, when awesomea comes back, you should thank him again our hotel. Stop Sure thing. Good timing. Why don't you take a break? Did he eat right before the training session? Wow, kakashi Kashi, that is dangerous. You don't know how much naruto is gonna get What about the good work on your mission to you too? Of course Thanks, yabato. All right. We're back to naruto It's interesting that they switched it because I figured this would be the point at which we would dive straight into um your shikimaru Possibly maybe they're just doing this for like, oh It's not broccoli What are you doing here? Got my training. You don't need to say more. I can guess You're upset because you got nobody to train with is it like you it's like you can read my mind Please be my training partner I feel kind of bad. He's like, will you please be my training partner? I'm like, ah Sorry, not right now. Bye. I have to go eat ramen A side mission in the middle of this. I want to meet or I want to see heat on kakazoo I also want to play them in like free play. See how they fight Because I doubt I'll get the plays either of them. She's getting some sun Sakura, you're just as pale. No, no, I'm fine Everything's fine How does she isn't it? How does she know it's just uh Makes my heart so so sad Knowing you know the fate and like afterwards what we find out There they are How long have we been in the land of fire? He's such a baby. Don't get me wrong. It's a real treat trailing you around all day When are we gonna find the jinchuri key?  Just be quiet and follow me. It's cold, man I gotta mess somebody up soon. I'll tell you that Is this before they attack the temple once we find the jinchuri key you can mess them up as much as you want Well, yeah, but Oh Oh, okay, so this is after they attack the temple I can't believe he walked right into it like that. It was worth the time. We took to set it So this is nowhere near where The fight was Already serves you right for not being on your toes Is this what's happening? How could you walk away? Did you did you do that?  I just love the dynamic between those two so much Chakazoo's never been about fighting me doesn't have to to be fair though Ed Ed Chakazoo's full power. He really has to commit The smile. Oh god. He's not so sick. I forgot to heal Be fine, right? Oh wait. No wait. I'm down a health bar and a half or just one Oh, no, wait, this is bad. I can already awaken.  There we go If you guys missed it, I actually turned it on Super difficulty super hard difficulty and I didn't really notice the difference last episode Wow, I actually hit him with my ult.  Wait, no don't Okay, I was like he can't combo me if he gets one combo and I'll die. Thank goodness I need to heal really bad Now this is See this is somewhere they they fought it like that outpost like right outside that outpost It's kind of weird that they're in a forest. I don't remember how exactly it transpired though Oh Oh, yeah, this is the fight. I think his face Don't worry. It only scratched me It like paused People are pretty good What is this guy?  Oh wow you still want to go but to tell you the truth I don't really feel like playing with you anymore Why did I think of that thing from toy story whenever andy drops what he's like? I don't want to play. I don't feel like playing with you anymore. There you go.  What is this guy saying his pain is osmos It can't be well shall we I think that's exactly what he said. Oh my god. How's that? The subtitle But that was fast, huh? He done not really a car because that's pretty fast process The more sacrifices the lord jashin. I miss he done so much He's such a goofball. Oh, this is the backup So wait I guess osma isn't at the point where he like He's not gonna get the fight back because he fought back to a certain extent in the show We're buying time time.  Oh, no. I'm joining it fight too No, you'll take too much time. Do it alone. Oh, we're already to this point We're finishing this fast I really want to see like We never got to see interactions Like I want to see interactions now between like pain and kakazoo like certain like just random people like that Now that we know the extent of the akatsuki Okay, then we'll keep this short Is kakazoo actually gonna like No, that's like boss battle material, right? We're whenever kakazoo actually because that was in a different place, but that's also whenever Kakashi squad goes after him Oh, that was actually sick. Oh my gosh So choji I think choji is like one of the strongest support characters Because he just rolls. Oh, actually. Oh, no, I didn't get him. Oh, no Stop stop stop. Oh, he already does have the thing on his back Huh, it's weird how he's in that like form, but he's not using them Yeah, I've never seen Oh, he does have them. It's like his backup thing. I really want to hit.  I don't even know what those technically are spirits Oh Okay, joji. Okay. That's a really short range. I need to stop doing that At least I know I can hit him. Okay, we're gonna hit him a little bit then double and then oh What just happened? I tried to oh But I hit both of them Joji, please Oh, no Okay, I'm gonna awaken Oh, he's doing the I have the shadows on my side now heat on Oh, no. Oh, no This is actually kind of hard The first hard fight in the the super hard difficulty Dude Kakazu is the backup is actually really strong. He got him so often Oh unable to use ultimate. I totally forgot about that. I didn't read it to be honest I was like, why did that do nothing whenever I used it? But it just it just used it as like a regular, uh, ninjutsu I guess I'm assuming I swear they fought. Oh, that's like after they run away for the first time though. So I guess this is different Because he's invincible. Our lives are infinite Well heat ons is yours isn't technically kakazu. Your defeat is already assured Give up and die Oh, they're called back by pain We're just about to get to the good part.  He was right about that. It was literally like a couple episodes later. I'm pretty sure I'm so excited to see pain Oh, we're gonna have to watch that aren't we? That was one of the more Off-guard deaths probably because it was one of the bigger deaths at least in the start of shippuden because The only major death before this was chiyo God dang it, dude I wouldn't make it anyway, I can feel it I bet the u3 can feel it too Can't you Something I want to tell you three asama sensei stop talking joji All right, she said that too.  You know And the show he's actually more destroyed. I'm pretty sure you may be headstrong But you're also a considerate caretaker joji and shikamaru He said that and I remember being very surprised that he mentioned sakura But that's how well he knows eno. It shows how well he knows, you know And everyone else So be more confident In yourself got it and another thing You might consider losing a few I don't know if it's possible, but I'll try you and that boy joji doesn't care. I kill here That's the one time he won't get mad and finally shikamaru You're razor sharp With the instincts of a great ninja be worthy of becoming hokage But you'd probably try to avoid it Since you'd find the job such a drag Which reminds me Remember when we talked about the king, but let me tell you who it is Nani That's why I remember shikamaru was crying a lot more. It was also raining. I think went during his death That added a lot to it. I wish it was raining shikamaru was just silent The rain definitely added a lot to this scene though I will say and shikamaru was like I maybe it was just the rain pouring down his face, but I swear he was falling There he was So much anguish I don't remember him I mean he's it's like he he realizes his responsibility to say like kind of as a leader in front of his squad, maybe Gosh, that's as far as we'll go for now You're really getting the hang of this aren't you? Picking this up so fast. Okay. Take a break now spar with me. I'll take a look at that power I want to see like let me know when you're ready. I'm actually trained with the clones. Yes, sir Like we know like we know how he does Good time to head back and stock up on some Stock up on supplies. Come here.  Does that mean it's like What if it's like boss level again No, it wouldn't be unable to awaken. No. Oh, yeah, it's not okay I'm gonna just start with the resung on baby. Are you like that kakashi? Ah Can I emote that'd be sick the rescindons relatively easy to hit Oh, I suddenly blocked the ultimate one, of course I can't hit the ultimate one Oh, there we go, baby What's that do? Oh, I was like, uh, it does about the same as a regular rescindon and I just his first health bar just disappeared Come here, baby I need some ramen. That'd be imagine narzo just pulled out A bowl of ramen during a fight in the show. He's like, give me a sec. I have to review wolf Oh like Sometimes I do these things and I don't even know how I do them. I've looked at the combos I've looked at the combos a hundred times and it all seems like the same kind of formula And then I just catch myself off guard like that 17 case one point. I'm not gonna spend anymore I think it'd be cool to have like a lot. I don't know why maybe like I did it off of a substitution I didn't even realize it. I don't even know I didn't expect you to do this. Well You're still the number one hyperactive knucklehead ninja I want to see all that's those giant waterfall Oh, wait, my My headband's not on my who why didn't you guys tell me my headband hasn't been on this whole time My goodness the immersion is just ruined Absolutely ruined I'll let him talk Izumo Also, yeah, my hair is really short right now because I finally got a haircut Izumo I bear a message. Oh, this is where they find out about osmah, isn't it? What's wrong?  Okay, I see the disrespect you're showing me. I get it What in the world happened? The little conversations on the way back If I see a cursed doll Along this path, I'm gonna be pissed These kids in their balloon can I pop this? Sorry, I won't I won't bully the child. Hi sakura osmah's dead Hi sakura God the village is just so so pretty Yo, would you guys live in konoha? You don't need nothing answer that I know the answers. Yes Why would you not look how sick this place is? What if it nods is standing at the flower shop now? I said the flower shop She's like maybe if I stand here naruto bring me more flowers Oh I like how during these scenes you can still hear this woman just Sweeping the same spot Listen Sorry, I can't talk. I've got business to take care of Business are they not going to talk about what happened? I'm coming mrs. Whole kage It's on time.  I wonder why they're not actually talking Osmah, it's ronokosky. How could they do that? I've got to head out right now and beat the stuffing out of them This would be common rational Right now. I'm afraid screaming won't do a bit of good, but Those are the things you're able to do. You know what I'm talking about, right? Keep pushing yourself harder. Yes, sir That goes before now I have an akasi counter strategy meeting to attend understood will be on our way Not at all. Keep up the good work on your training Thanks, tsunami Oh, I get to use it soon too Oh, wait Is this where kakashi leaves? Oh, this is where he's kakashi. Yeah, that's right This is where he takes shikamaru squad or shikamaru squad was about to leave and he goes with them.  Let's hurry to the hidden leaf village If you want sacrifices that badly hunt for as many as you want at the hidden leaf I wonder how that would have went down if they had actually gone there like made it there Like with pain's invasion How devoted of you? I mean it would have been so different if the other akatsuki had actually been there at that moment. Oh, man I'm just thinking of how strong they would have been if they had all taken the hidden leaf village together Yeah And then there's kakashi. Oh, wait, it's tsunami kakashi. You going somewhere Your mission directive still stands. I've just assembled a new team and we're going ahead with the mission Not without my approval.   She's right though. I'm pretty sure if kakashi hadn't gone with them They would have died. Actually, yeah, they definitely would have running straight to our deaths. Believe me. It's just just what We don't intend to run away and keep on living without fulfilling our duty We aren't going to live without meaning It's a respectable The shadow of death hangs over all ninja some deaths may be harder to accept than others But unless one gets past that there can be no future Face reality. There's three of you. Okay a full squad has a leader Our squad has four then it's all right, right lady. Tsunade Kakashi, I'll take over his team tens leader and go with Fair enough. What are you? They're going to go even if you try to stop Might as well send me along to be fair in this case.  Oh, well, he doesn't need me around anymore Plus he's got another squad leader with him now. So I want to see Yamato's waterfall so bad. It's so cool in the show Kakashi We owe you one. Yeah, don't mention it. All right. We're getting to it We're on our way Confident they're on shaker expect acceptor held straight for the village As far as that there's our plan Oh, okay, so we will find that spot that they actually find it. It's a like. Oh, I'm just gonna mark now So the spot that we fought at, um During the light like the fight between Awesome on heat on and a shigamaru and heat on Wasn't actually where they fought they actually fought. Oh, that's where this other path goes. Is it? Naruto's not even here anymore. It wasn't actually the place That they fought the place that they fought was outside of that. Um a drop station where they they dropped the The guy from the What was it not a shrine I forgot are you going fast? Are you sure we're going fast enough? um So it's a bit weird that they did the fight like somewhere and awesome a dad like somewhere randomly in the forest Just because I was I was used to his death where he perished like on top of that building and whatnot It's a very big moment in the show Like these little clearings. They're cute So we're actually going to this forest of dead trees that they actually fought in um They find them and again at least More pearls. I swear if there's a pearl in here Okay, how would that even work if there was one in there? Other salesman. What's he got? What you got boss? High grade wait a minute. I'll buy one Oh, you don't have much do you man? Okay, well Oh, thank you, sir. Thank you. Oh here it is I'm gonna steal these eggs real quick I actually stole six eggs Chigamaru There's a high probability that we'll meet them up ahead Finally, I'm gonna explain our next bit of strategy. Make sure you remember it exactly Chigamaru and Kakashi such a cool team together.  It's showtime Here we go Oh, I am One hundo ready. You don't even gotta ask me, baby I said, I love the silhouette how it changes based on your main character at the time Here it is He don't almost at the hidden leaf village, right?  I can't wait to get started reminds me of pain Pain's pretty realistic Yes Uh, that that was the scene I love whenever he's like, you know, like they're on the same page.  He's like The week will die. I wonder what he dons up to right now I like the comparison Awesome watch over me lord jashin Watch this Oh, i'm actually gonna fight him I figured we would get the the introduction of like the plan first unable to use ultimate Okay, I actually used like a little oh shoot shikamaru come on I love that how he or kakaz is like already unveiled his secret But it doesn't like he doesn't clarify it Also, why can I still not use my ultimate? I want to see shikamaru's old So disrespectful stop it kakaz And it's actually really even Oh, he has a yes, it's awakening available Is he gonna do it? Oh, no, he is. Oh, I was gonna try to stop him get away from me. Oh gosh. He's just sprinting at me There we go. There we go, baby.   No Oh my gosh, okay. I have my awakening now Okay, the disrespect I'm getting from kakaz right now. It's so much Oh my gosh. I don't even know how I did that My goodness still want to see his old Maybe it's saving it for later like so kind of like build up to it. I don't know I want to see it so bad though It's like my favorite part about fighting games is like ultimates. Is this where he runs away with him? Oh it is. It's just being very quick about it. You've done a separate me from kakazoo. My friends will handle your partner You won't be getting any reinforcements As if I need them I can finish you off and have room to spare kakashi sensei Choji, you know Take care of the other one. I'll take this one down Even if it kills me So is there going to be like two separate boss fights with hedon and kakazoo because they take place separately It's going to be interesting to see how they do this actually Okay, maybe we'll cut back and forth. I don't know I really liked in the last one how it cut between the original and this In the nards over sasuke What up mouse do I actually get to play as kakashi? I hope so This is where he's gonna reveal First tokage Boomer alert here he goes Do you think if he got like really buffed it would it would rip the stitches on his arms? Like what if kakazoo worked out Like really hard You know what i'm talking about. I don't even know what i'm talking about anymore. Let's be honest Are they able to use enhanced ninjutsu? Oh, this is embarrassing kakashi The kakat I'm gonna take a second Reset and we're gonna we're gonna we're gonna back back into this kakashi deserves better Okay, so I have to I don't think I've used kakashi before I need a little bit of an advantage on them before I can try to use my Like get him. I think I did That must be really hard to hit I can use it, right?  I totally blocked that sir I wonder how that works. Like do I have to like go of it or something? Lift it up, baby. Boom Hang I really wanted to try and finish him with it, but I don't even know if I don't know he's not down kakashi I'm sorry to break it to you boss, man It's like it puts it underneath them But I don't know if you're supposed to let go and it stops at a certain time and like you can charge it or something I'm not sure All right, now we go support shikamaru. Yes, sir. Sadly, it won't be that easy He Still I didn't think you'd do so well That's a leaf ninja for you. I mean the first okage was insane. Supposedly I felt that hit home. How can he still be moving? So Really are immortal. No close, but not quite. I've got five hearts. You see Unless you get them all you won't defeat me I Just have biology work It's time to harvest your lives Just the phrasing is just uh, it's so intense So we're gonna fight him again. We're going back to shikamaru slow down fast enemies I guess we're going back to shikamaru Yeah, oh What's happened what brings you all the way out here I have a mission for you two actually a mission But sakura and sai are handling our missions for us You two and especially you naruto have the greatest chance of completing this. It's a good thing. She sent him on this mission too I do the test test out what his abilities are. Let's just give her a chance to explain So shikamaru and everybody went to find the akatsuki naruto feels so left out and I want you two to go provide backup Can you do that that case should leave immediately in this situation every second matters You got it Oh, baby I wonder how this boss fight's gonna go I have to run there. Oh my oh wait. Oh, I do No Come on. Yama tell me you gotta keep going Wait gotta pick up the bird poop first Then a floating feather. I don't even need to go I probably should say I don't even need to go to the um The little shrines those Another pearl those shrines stay like giving you good luck for a long time actually Like I didn't do that one. I haven't done that one since When did I do the last one? I don't even remember It's been a minute though and it's still giving me luck Oh, yeah, I already so I'm guessing once you search something or like once you pick up one thing No, because I thought I picked that up. Oh, I guess another pearl once you pick up something I don't know. Maybe yeah, because those eggs can't be searched again I am ready sir. I think I'm full health. I should be full health It said once you get to certain points Is it cock-a-doo? He feels heavy. I've used the shine gone too much. I haven't enjoyed myself this much in a long time That's just the first okage then Oh, he was already in like a form by the time narso made it also the reveal or like him coming in During the show was so safe the smoke and everything Thank goodness. Do not he sent them more or less Looks so serious.  I've really been looking forward to we're gonna cut back to shikamaru It'd be interesting if we didn't like touch base with them. Yeah, we are Awesome it looks over me.  I imagine the cock-a-doo one will be a boss fight, but I don't know Yeah, this is a regular fight I can hold now Now I get to actually get to use it so they have been making me save it Come on dude. Oh my god All right, I feel like I need to get in close with it Oh, okay.  I doubt it. That'd be too strong. There it is. There it is, baby That's your grave He actually did the thing. Oh my gosh. That's so intense That'd be really hard to hit like oops and a lot of situations because it is just a straight line Oh, you're done.  It's okay. It's interesting how it does that for his old That's such an unexpected turn of events Also, are we gonna mention how did he set it up?   We can watch you for all eternity So that appointment and he dawns like oh my god wait Neither does your god been different things What me God again whoever did these cutscenes stuff Props to you man.  It's appropriate. I would like to think oh here we go Not dot dot What if it's just plot twisted and I I played this as eno and I just won b1 them And he still fights alone though Even so I Want to take the risk alone. This is the moment that surprised me a lot make it to the other side I'll never be able to grow up. It makes sense what he's saying, but please don't take that bridge away That kakashi allows him to just fight alone. Yamato. What do you think you haven't seen how he's a completely different naruto now Then it's settled go on naruto All right, here we go, baby Oh man, I've been looking forward to this fight I am what have I said? No, what would happen? Are these ultimate or awakening upon? I mean all bad sides There's his spirit boys god the bird one just kind of scares me Oh my gosh, wait Chill chill chill chill Uh, okay. Well He's fast He's very fast actually that ross sin gun did so much. I need to charge. He's something to do that so easily You guys see that block.  Are you liking or not boy? Oh my gosh, he jumped away from it His arms are so long Oh, what was that this He's just running away The show these guys were already gone by the time naruto showed up It was like how could you in his final form? We're going through all of it Poor naruto has to go through all of it. Oh shoot That was a nice move He said steering migraine really quickly Just don't straight through it That was this is sick. What?  I love it Oh no. Oh no. Oh shoot. Nice. I actually was able to substitute that He's like a giant porcupine Guys, I'm just such a gamer. This is super hard difficulty by the way like the hardest difficulty Oh, yeah, that makes sense. I couldn't block that actually Block them that time. Okay. Okay, wait hang on Hang on this hang on a second brother attack. Watch out for attacks from him and his tentacles All right, okay. Can I use my new thing? Oh my gosh Wait, when can I make a move up to him? Can I go now? Oh, no, I can't I can't that was a bad move. Oh my gosh How do I get up? Okay, I think Oh Oh my gosh Oh, wait now I can't because he's close, right? Oh, no, I don't know This is the combination How do I dodge that also? I have no oh wait now No, go. No, dude. That was my opportunity Oh no, okay. We're good. We're good. We're good. Oh, no, we're not Oh How am I oh, I was like, how do I know where it's going? It sweeps.  Okay I've got like no hits in so far I'm gonna still throw stuff though. Let's do that much, but I probably supposed to Oh Come down to the ground weenie Come on. Okay. So it's whatever he does the attack from below that he comes closer Oh my gosh No, I can't How am I supposed to get up to him? He said I can attack him when he's lower Oh my gosh. This is so hard actually. What the heck? Oh, wait here. Oh, it's the final attack that I can do it on Oh my gosh There we go. That's what I was looking for Oh my gosh, I'm ripping him out. Oh, dude. That's so metal. Oh, you're done so now Was he weak? Oh, he is because he doesn't have his spirits. Yeah It's still over there too.  Oh wait, maybe not He's uh, it's both at the same time. Oh my god Oh When can I attack him? Nope. Nope bad decision. That was an awful decision jack. Nope. Nope. Nope. I'm just getting absolutely obliterated now.   You're scared, buddy. I may be down to my last health fire, but uh Oh, yeah, I forgot he was like a just, you know a broom that he sweeps with a tentacle broom Can I block that? No, probably not. I'm too fast for you cocky zoom Oh Does actually do a decent amount not a lot Oh my gosh, but I can hit him more often than when he comes down He's really low One more Another health bar. Oh my never mind. I'm a fool a fool Oh, I thought he was about to sweep me We're chilling we're chilling. Oh Uh, for some reason I this is my opportunity. This is it. Boom This will kill him, right?   I don't know if there's like a time limit that he tried Oh, wait, no, just I can hit him from here still Dude, I have like no health left Okay, you know how I said the the super hard difficulty wasn't that hard. I can feel it now I can definitely feel this This is like 20 things to dodge. Oh my gosh. I'm out of chakra This is like my only opportunity to do it too One more stage jack.  There it is the ross insurance I can't lose any of these quick time because I think that would kill me with damage. Maybe not I don't think it would actually maybe two Oh, oh my gosh, I didn't do the first. I was I missed the first one. I was really fast. Oh my god. I got health back Come on There we go So sick Actually just deleted him ripped him the shreds For this chakra the shreds Dang, dude This is where he sees minato, isn't it? All right. Let's see how that jutsu is coming along. That's right.  My goodness I was I was so low there at the end. Oh my god That was exhausting to say the least my goodness You did well Wind style ross and shuriken The number of attacks is almost infinite Even with my shining god, I couldn't follow it all. Oh, this is where he says that naruto's past him has become strong truly strong He's practically surpassed me I would argue that he probably surpasses them once you learn sage mode Can you sense it?  Oh, I guess it is sasuke always driving him I was thinking minato because he just thought about minato in the cutscene I just want to know if sasuke even thinks about them that often Climbing silver, baby The real king is the kids ross and shuriken new character. Oh, is it a different version of naruto? Hi, because you're not available, baby. Let's go Oh my gosh Oh, I gotta take a breather after that that uh Sequence of events. All right team dismissed. I'll report into the fifth hokage.  We'll do hey shikamaru Want to go grab something to eat? No, sorry joji There's something I've got to do remember Excuse me. See ya. This is his talk with karanae right? So this is where you were Is it okay to be up and about shikamaru What's the matter nothing it's just You know Your shogi partner is gone For osuma's favorite You must miss him too.  I I used to complain about everything Everything annoyed me back then and every time Osama came to my rescue. He was an odd teacher So elusive so hard to figure out but to me He was a terrific role model And now it's my turn when that baby arrives It'll be my turn as guardian and master god dang it dude.  They're the king right osuma.  I still get chills man. Oh, so good the immortal akatsuki done chapter three complete So good. I was looking forward to that one a lot I'm looking forward to the rest because it ramps up from here. It only ramps up from here, but Oh my goodness I'm not ready. I just saw dry and just know the the sequence that's coming Thanks, jiraiya Hmm That's my student. I'm proud of you. I'm surprised he didn't try that over the years of training It's changing chakra a lot to think about this time osuma the others Yeah There's nothing so hard and painful as the sorrow of losing someone the deeper your bond the deeper the sadness That emotion is natural to all humans But if they can overcome that sadness people become stronger Chikamaru and the others were badly wounded this time, but they inherited osuma's will and have gained new strength I don't really understand that stuff. That's all right for now someday. You will you think oh I believe for example, even if the same thing happens to you I believe you'll keep doing the foreshadowing What's this all of a sudden? I'll always believe in you What's the matter pervy sage? Come on.  Very he's a master of change subject jutsu Very proficient after fight the boys grew stronger slowly but steadily The era begins to change That's a lot a lot of it's focused on parent to child from master to student Strength technique ideas Many other things have been handed down A boy walks his path Believing in the ray of light born from his bond Saratobi In the darkness two One who built up his strength in the shadows a prisoner of his revenge He too is preparing Sasuke down a new path the time to spread his wings is drawing near This is talking about sasuke, right? Is it gonna go into the Yeah, I think it is. Yeah, because he said the path of darkness and spreading his wings. Jeez, man Yes, sasuke's down there and that wow And it's just like Oh, we're just that everything just that's soon chapter four heavy formation sasuke's team Oh, man, it just goes through so much. I I I tend to forget like The lengths we've been to in this in the show In general How is sasuke coming along? He's becoming my ideal ninja. Then yes, I'll begin the transfer You're basically dying orochimaru Lord orochimaru This is his body's weakening fast. I'll have to give him level 10 medicine or else So what's like being proven like level two medicine is falling apart. I'll go get the medicine. I'll be right back Transference ritual If I don't do it soon Are we going right into this? There's no more you have to teach me I'm finished with you. I suppose of you here. I knew you'd come for me orochimaru I'm stronger than you a bold statement from a nurse league nursing Of course, I had to be the nursing That's the only uchiya you could handle itachi was out of the question That's why you came after me the baby The disrespect to orochimaru was impossible for you You're not even in the same league as uchiha And you know that before uchiha mild brilliance such as yours becomes actually rather ordinary Orochimaru, you can't win against me. It's no longer possible for you to take my body You underestimate me Even if it barks a chick is still a chick Why don't I show you the difference between is this a boss battle?  Okay. It's like a fight Actually gives a play of sausage is what I've been waiting for I've wanted to I actually have him so outmatched to The snake I was like get up old man. Oh come on. He's diving into the ground because he's scared. Wait. I can't use Enhanced That means I can use my old oh, I got him Easy claps Orochimaru It's like how did I do that lightning slow but like who all the sugar can really quickly? Oh, here we go Oh, it's a snake. Oh shoot But when the fight itself he like transforms into the completely bone Put him down dude Oh, I thought I had knocked him into the other one. That would have been really clean actually Oh, that's just like his enhanced Uh, sure again, I say Just throw some really quickly It couldn't see That's more than a little disappointing The absolute disrespect shown It just threw us right into it. I guess that's kind of what happens though In the show like there's no build up It's a filler arc kind of just a little bit of filler into the build up It gets much more complex. Is it is it like now a boss battle? I'm so confused Oh, maybe it is Kind of a weird way to put it where the transference ritual takes place Give me me the uchiha power will be mine And he takes care of it relatively Yeah Reverse This is my universe And this is where we realize the extent of sasuke's power My eyes can see through all your jutsu surely you must know A snake that crawled on the earth dreamt of soaring through the sky Knowing full well it was impossible Still in vain hope it kept its eye on a baby bird that it nurtured in its own nest Little you would never obtain it Because that bird is a hawk ready to take to the sky The like Four shadowing to the hawk is really cool too You know in a world like this there would definitely be people like so many people like a rochi maru that would exist Wanting just to I will take is that it There's walks past kabuto on the on the way out the sword swing There he is Kabuto you're late with the level 10 medicine. You can't have he was after me But I took everything he had instead then Lord orochimaru is He's dead the laugh So I know what kabuto is up to they they keep mincing him in the show like that they're keeping an eye on him and stuff but That made his m.i.a. Just like going to different bases like older bases Time to head out This walks off And then so thus the formation of his team begins. God dang dude. We get to play as sasuke All right guys This has been a very long episode because I didn't expect it to throw us into that at the end But you kind of just toss you in the next chapter, which I kind of like so Um Yeah, that's gonna be that was like an entire chapter I'm pretty there's pretty much the whole chapter the whole awesome uh heat on congress do all that So I hope you did enjoy be sure to drop your comments down below what you thought I thought that that cockazoo fight was easily the hardest part of this game so far I mean I got you guys saw I mean I'm relatively close to dying there But I am also playing on super hard difficulty. So I mean I'm kind of a gamer. So um Yeah, so I believe I'm doing a persona five royal stream on monday, which should be In two days whenever you see this I believe yes So on monday, I'm doing a persona five royal stream on the channel Um, I think it'll be around mid afternoon. It should be like four or five hours of Relatively long for those of you that watch this series Um, but besides that just regular episodes all the time We guys have a wonderful rest of your day as per usual and I'll catch you in the next one face
