Transcript
Damn. Shohei Ohtani is so good at baseball. He almost makes me forget about the war crimes Japan has committed against my ancestors. Like, Shohei is probably the best baseball player ever already. Just recently, he threw for 10 strikeouts and hit three home runs in the same game. Like, that's wild. Like, sure, Japan committed one of the worst atrocities ever in the massacre of Nanking. Better to hit and pitch at that level is crazy. Like, yeah, sure. Japan conducted biological and chemical experiments on living human subjects in Unit 731. But did you see the time Shohei stroke out his teammate at the time, Mike Trout, for the final out in the Worse Baseball Classic to win it all? I mean, that's incredible. That's like you can't write that stuff. Like Shohei good me excited about baseball again. Like, every time he's up to bat, it's an event. An event similar to the time emperor tier, Hito killed almost 2,700,000 Chinese citizens in the three alls policy. But could emperor tier Hito hit and throw a fastball? I doubt it.
