"チェーズは問題を解決中"だって? 既に用済みなんだよ。
あいつはただの役立たずだな。
弾丸は使い切ってしまったようだな。 バレットクラブと戦うのは時間の無駄だ。
奴ら全員が時間の無駄でしかない。
Zack, the winner of the NEW JAPAN CUP, has returned.
Golden⭐︎Lovers, where have you been?
Tomorrow, it will be 2 on 2.
You think I'm a pushover? Bastards. Zack has me hyped, more than ever.
The ending just might surprise you.
Tomorrow, it will end just the same… JUST TAP OUT.
お、次期NEVERのチャンピオンだ。
Goto, answer me quickly.
And to the bald fatty, don't think you're getting a match, too.
That'll just be too much.
Goto, look this way...
Or else I will break your neck.
Give me an answer, already.
And… Ibushi and Kenny?
クソ。
鈴木軍とやり合うのは、これが初めてだった。
つまらない軍団だったよ。 ファンがいないのも納得だ。
でも残念ながら奴らの勝ち越しだ。 また顔合わせることになるんだろ。
一体どうやったら、あのつまらない 軍団を追い出せる?
答えは簡単だ。俺たちが何度でも倒してやる。
鈴木軍は良い選手が揃ってるけど、 誰1人ともトップとは呼べないレベルだ。
俺たちにやられて、NOAHにずっと居座っていれば よかったと後悔することになるぞ。

Hey, Kanemaru, Desperado…
Enough of that crap. Stop pestering me.
I can't wait to face you two again, at the SUPER Jr.

Will JAPAN go BANKRUPT because of the OLYMPICS? - VisualPolitik EN - Duration: 13:10.
Japan is to economics what Axl Rose is to music business.
They both rocked in the late 80s and beginning of the 90s, then they started losing ground
and nowadays, anytime they try to make a comeback, the results are… pretty disappointing.
I know what you are thinking… from the first glance, Japan doesn't seem to be that bad,
right?
They have the videogames, the anime movies and world class tech behemoths.
And their capital, Tokyo, looks like a Scy-Fy city.
It is the World's biggest metropolis, with over 30 M people, and they have the fastest
trains, the most modern TVs and even human-like robots.
Nonetheless, this country has been 2 decades without no economic growth.
And this is not the worst!
Japan is the most indebted country in the whole planet.
They owe more than twice their entire GDP.
And their population is decreasing faster than anywhere else, which poses a big problem
in order to pay retirement pensions.
This is one of the reasons why Japanese workers make crazy hours and have almost no vacations.
And those good old technological juggernauts like HITACHI or PANASONIC are falling behind
the more modern companies from China or America.
But hold on just a second because things might change!
Yes, I'm talking about the TOKYO OLIMPICS, 2020.
A peerless opportunity to make to showcase the whole country and get the world's attention.
Yes, my dear viewers… since Japan won the Olimpic bid, in the year 2013, tourism has
skyrocketed from one day to the other.
And the same goes with private investment.
By that year 2020, Tokyo will have 45 brand new skyscrapers.
Nothing more and nothing less.
And companies like PANASONIC will set state of the art solar cells all over the place
so people can charge their electric cars.
If this was not enough, SONY will launch their brand new 8K TV screens.
Yep, you heard that right.
If 4K was not enough, now we will have 8K so you will be able to see even the microfiber
of the athletes Tshirts.
But hold on just a second because… not everything is as beautiful!
You see, when Tokyo won the Olympic bid, they budgeted them in 6.5 billion dollars.
But once they started with the building, the costs have doubled.
And they haven't even finished!
In fact, Tokyo's city hall has predicted the total cost might end up near the 20 billion
USD.
So the question is… would this Summer Olympic Games be an opportunity for Japan… or the
opposite?
Are Olympic Games as good for a country's economy as some people say?
Today we are gonna answer all of this questions but, before, let's take a look back at history.
AN OLYMPIC FALACY?
Few things spark nacional pride as much as Olympic games.
Of course, we all like to brag about the gold medals our country has.
But what really inflames patriotism the most is to become an Olympic host.
The excitement it generates is so big that everyone, regardless of their ideology, seems
to think that organizing an event like this is a good thing for the country.
Nonetheless, inside the economists field, things are not that clear.
In fact… the arguments in favour of hosting Olympics are a little bit like… hmm… how
should I say?
They are so inconsistent they could be a tweet written by Donald Trump
According to a paper from the Bank of Japan, the effects of the Olympics are so good that
you can tell even before they have been celebrated.
More specifically, the same year the International Olympic Committee named Tokyo as the host
city, everyone started to see Japan as a perfect place for investment.
Remember that we are talking about a paper from an institution as prestigious as the
Bank of Japan.
This would be the Japanese equivalent to the American Federal Reserve.
This said, one of their main arguments is that, if your city gets to be an Olympic host,
the whole country can join all those big organizations every country would like to be a member of.
Want examples?
Here you have examples!
Barcelona got the nomination in 1986 and…
BOOM!
That very same year, they joined the European Union.
Beijing was nominated in 2001 and…
BOOM!
That year they joined the World Trade Organization.
What do you say?
It seems like nobody could argue this train of thoughs, right?
Well… wait a second because this is a textbook example of a correlation fallacy.
In other words, the fact that Spain joined the EU the same year Barcelona got chosen
as the Olympic host does not mean one thing caused the other.
In fact, Portugal also joined the EU on the same year without hosting anything.
And the same happened with China.
On the same times, other Asian countries joined the WTO without organizing no sport events.
But I know what you are gonna tell me now!
Hey Simon, what about the international attention?
During two weeks, the whole world is going to put their eyes in Japan.
We are talking about the biggest sport event in the world.
Or maybe not?
You see, the London Olympics 2012 got an average audience of, around 31 million people in America.
To make a comparison, this is twice as much as a Game of Thrones episode.
Yes, it's not bad.
But… what happened with the rest of the games?
For example, Sochi Winter Olympics, 2014, didn't even get to have 22 million viewers
in the States.
And Rio 2016 was around 26 million.
This might look big to you, guys, but is nothing if we compare it with a much cheaper event
like the SUPERBOWL.
The 2016 Superbowl surpassed 110 million viewers.
In other words, even though Olympics are watched all around the world, when you look at the
audiences country by country, the figures are not so impressive.
And this means that the perception that people have about a country does not change.
At least, it doesn't change… for good…
In a study of the impact of the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australian researchers interviewed
people one year before and after the Games.
They found little change in perceptions, with one surprising wrinkle: South Africans had
soured on Australia "because of the way in which the Aboriginal issue was highlighted
and portrayed by the South African media,"
Nonetheless, there is one thing where it seems fair to agree: Olympic games kickstart your
tourism industry.
Actually, since Tokyo was chosen as the Olympic host, tourism in Japan has skyrocketed.
They almost didn't have tourists in 2013 and now they surpassed 24 million people last
year.
You can say a brand new industry has been born in Japan.
And this is an industry that attracts lots of foreign money…
Who wouldn't be happy with this?
Well… hold on a minute because even this figures can be argued.
Of course, tourism in Japan has increased a lot.
But… do you know of other countries with a booming tourism sector? Chile and Thailand.
They have grown at a similar rate as Japan.
And… don't even google it because I will tell you here: none of this two countries
is planning to host any Olympics.
The Thailand example is pretty paradigmatic.
They get 6 million more tourists than Japan with half of its population.
And their tourism growth is directly correlated to that of the Chinese middle class.
In other words, as Chinese people have more money, they want to do sight seeing… and
where do they go?
Of course!
They go to countries that are nearby and have beautiful things to see!
But I know what you are thinking!
Despite the Olympics not being that profitable as they seem… what's the problem if Tokyo
wants to have Olympics?
Who doesn't like to have a giant stadium on his city, huh?
Well… let's have a look at this right now.
GOLD MEDALLIST…
IN SPENDING!
We all know it…
Olympics are costly.
From one day to the other, Tokyo will have to build an Olympic Stadium to host more than
80,000 people.
And also, they have to impress them with lights and colors.
But it doesn't stop here!
They need other special venues for the many competitions that are held at the same time.
Each of the sports have its own specifications.
Athletism requires different things than swimming or canoeing.
In summary, 31 venues will be built or remodelated for this Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games.
Add to this the media centre, which is another big White Elephant and, on the top of it,
the Olympic Villa.
This is short of a small town where more than 10,000 athelets will live during the time
the Olympics are held.
And, as you can imagine, this will not be cheap, either.
The total cost for this was meant to be 6.5 billion USD.
At least, this is the figure given by the local authorities to the International Olympic
Committee in 2013.
But, you know, one thing is the theory and another thing is the reality…
Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games costs just keep rising
By December 2017, Tokyo City Hall had already spent over 12 billions.
And just a couple of months later, the local authorities said that, at least, they will
end up spending 20 billiones!
And maybe, this figure will keep rising before they burn the Olympic flame…
In fact, nothing of this is a surprise.
Since we have memory, every Olympic Games have cost overrun.
And we are not talking about little pennies here!
Rio de Janeiro 2016 ended up being 51% more expensive than expected.
But the record, so far, is Montreal 1976, that costed 700% more than the initial budget.
Yes, you heard this right.
This is 8 times more that what it was planned at the beginning.
And now you might wonder…
All this billion dollars are little or big money for a government?
I mean… compared with the normal spending in a big city hall… is this a big number?
Well, the answer is a big YES.
For a better understanding, with 20 billion USD you could build, for instance, a highway
that connected the extreme north of Japan to their extreme South.
But wait a minute because this is not the worst of all!
You see… an airport or a highway can and up being a waste of money.
But, still, you can always reutilize it.
A country with better infrastructures and communication can have better companies in
the future, brand new industries or better public services.
But what do you do with an Olympic stadium that can host 80,000 people?
Well… if we look at past examples, the answer is pretty much bitter…
Rio Olympic venues already falling into a state of disrepair
Rio de Janeiro example is pretty harsh.
Despite having Olympics, they still have entire neighbourhoods that are not even connected
to the city centre by a bus line.
And the place where the Olympic Villa has is becoming a slum.
But wait a minute because this is not the only example.
Athens Olympic site in ruins 10 years on from 2004 Games
Add to this the fact that Japan is the most indebted country in the planet.
They owe a sum equivalent to 230% of their GDP.
The government is already struggling to pay the retirement pensions and they have been
2 years without any economic growth whatsoever.
So now this is your turn…
Do you think the Tokyo Olympics 2020 will mean the ruin of Japan?
Or maybe, against the odds, Japan will take some advantage of hosting this event?

FMs of Japan, China head over to meet with respective counterparts in U.S., N. Korea - Duration: 2:41.
With about a month ahead of Washington-Pyongyang talks, key regional players are rushing to
have an input before the historic even unfolds.
Foreign ministers of Japan and China are already set to meet with their counterparts from both
sides.
Oh Jung-hee outlines what could be the key topics during those sit-downs.
Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Kono hurriedly met with his new U.S. counterpart Mike Pompeo
in the Jordanian capital of Amman on Monday local time.
This... to reaffirm maximum pressure on North Korea in order to achieve complete denuclearization...
as well as to ensure joint efforts to bring back Japanese citizens abducted by the regime.
The meeting was the first between the two top diplomats -- coming only four days after
Pompeo assumed the post of U.S. Secretary of State last Thursday.
Diplomatic sources say... the meeting was highly desired by the Japanese side... and
was confirmed only after Kono arrived in Amman.
Pompeo was on a four-nation tour through the Middle East.
"In Washington's negotiations with Pyongyang, Tokyo doesn't want short-range missiles to
be excluded from the ban on intercontinental ballistic missiles.
Tokyo also wants to see Pyongyang's real intentions."
Meanwhile, Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi is also to head over to North Korea on Wednesday...
at the invitation from his North Korean counterpart.
This... amid concerns that Beijing could feel left out from formally ending the Korean War
and drafting a peace treaty.
Last Friday's summit agreement, dubbed the 'Panmunjom Declaration,' stipulates... the
two Koreas will actively push forwards trilateral meetings with the U.S. or quadrilateral meetings
with both the U.S. and China... to set a permanent peace on the Korean Peninsula.
And that leaves open the possibility of excluding China from the talks.
"The two Koreas and the United States have already formed a trilateral structure and
are closely coordinating.
So there's no need to bring in China to form a rivalry structure that puts Seoul and Washington
at one side and Pyongyang and Beijing at the other."
The expert added...
China will be most curious about how North Korea could be guaranteed of its sovereign
security... as it directly coincides with Beijing's own interest.
With the situation taking not steps but leaps in terms of denuclearization talks between
the two Koreas as well as between Pyongyang and Washington,...
China and Japan are in apparent moves to secure their own interests and maintain their influence
in the region.

Japan - Duration: 8:22.
the reasons why you should go to Japan. Welcome to Japan. Japan is know for
volcanoes, mountains, cherry blossoms, temples, and especially food. Ramen, a
Japanese noodle soup has become popular around the world for decades. When we
talk about Ramen, we often think about this. But when Japanese talk about
Ramen, what they mean is this or this. Reason number one: delicious food. This is
shoyu. Shoyu Ramen soup is a clear, brow, savory broth flavored with soy
sauce. The soup is usually made of chicken
broth and often contains well-done tender meat, such as pork, beef, or fish
depending on the region. Shoyu Ramen is the most common type of Ramen, and
it's usually what is served when a menu does not specify a specific type of
soup. This is Miso. Miso Ramen soup is flavored with soy bean paste resulting in
a thick, brown soup with a rich, complex flavor. The style originated in Hokkaido
with the long cold winters, but it has spread to the point where it can be
found pretty much anywhere in Japan. And here is some advice when you go to a
Ramen place in Japan. First: choose your noodles. Typical Ramen noodles are long and
elastic, but countless varieties exist that vary from thin and straight to
thick and wavy. Some Ramen places allow you to customize your noodles order to
some extent such as allowing you to select the thickness or doneness.
Second: choose your toppings. A very common topping is Chashu, fatty slices of roasted
or braised pork. But you can also go for Menma, preserved bamboo shoots with a
salty flavor; or seaweed; corn; or creamy butter.
The second reason: beautiful landscapes. Japan is not just about food; it's also
about mountainous geography. This is Fujiyama, and "Yama" is "mountain" in
Japanese. The mountain located on Honshu island with the shape of a
symmetrical cone, the height of more than 12,000 feet, and the presence of snow
covering Fuji's peak for about 5 months a year. Therefore, this enormous
cone that stands out from the surrounding civilization has become
popular among tourists who want to witness this masterpiece of mother
nature. one way to enjoy this piece of art is taking a walk at Lake Kawaguchi
near Mount Fuji in the border of Fujikawaguchiko and Minobu. From
this lake there is a phenomenal view to Mount Fuji: far away is a hazy Mountain
blending into a vast blue sky; close by is the silver-blue Kawaguchiko lake
that mirrors the reflection of Fuji; in a high sky, birds are flapping; and on the
sides, pink cherry blossoms fill the atmosphere with floral aroma.
Reason number three: urban legends. "73% of Japan is mountainous." And living among
the mountains with various annual natural disasters, Japanese generally are
superstitious properly because the ancient Japanese daily lives were so
harsh; and technology didn't exist, so the easiest way to explain natural phenomenon
was superstitions. Until today, many Japanese superstitions have become
urban legends. One famous Japanese urban legend is kuchisake-onna, which is
slit-mouthed woman. According to the legend, she covers her mouth with a cloth
mask. The woman will ask a victim "Am I pretty?"
If the victim answers yes, she will remove her mask and ask the victim again.
If the victim answered [...] or screams, she will slash the victim from ear to ear so
that a victim resembles her. If the victim says no, she will walk away only
to follow her victim home and brutally murder the victim that night. Said
reaction also occurs if you say no before she removes her mask. Reason
number four: anime.
Japan is not just a place for scary legends, it is also a place for
cuteness: the well-know anime, Japanese cartoon. One of the recent anime hit is
"Your name." "The story takes place in a small mountain village in Japan.
Mitsuha, a a high school girl of this village leads a dull life
and yearns for living in a big city, that someday she has a dream of her being a
boy. In that dream she is in an unfamiliar house in Tokyo and surrounded with strange
friends. Though she's confused, she feels happy living a new life here. Meanwhile a
Tokyo high-school boy named taki also has a real dream of him being a
girl in a mountain village. That's how they meet each other in their dreams."
This anime confirms a Japanese proverb: [ Google translate ], which literally means
faith can move mountains, and in this case, specifically, love is beyond distance and time
Reason number five: Japanese characteristics. This is Makoto Shinkai, the scrawny
Japanese man wearing a brow, wrinkled long-sleeve shirt with messy hair and
his glasses on. He is sitting in his studio answering the interview.
The man speak in low tone, soft voice. Makoto Shinkai
is a famous Japanese director ,the director of "Your name", an outlier that "do things
that are out of the ordinary," and he is also a typical hard-working and modest
Japanese man. "Your name" was such a huge hit that some people called him the new
Miyazaki. And Miyazaki is the greatest anime director of all time. But this is his
response.
The last reason: because why not Japan? If you're hyped for Japan, then you should consider
going to Japan this autumn or spring. It is the best time to visit Japan; and
there is little rainfall; the sky is clear; and temperatures are mild. And there is
also delicate cherry blossom of spring and vivid hues autumn leaves that are
visually stunning
