After Wassabi's big move, the wannabes FINALLY got around to a bicoastal netplay session. It was some serious play, and they took the time to really dissect what happened.

Wassabi takes on a new project called "Imperfect Protagonists". It's a new segment on the Wannabes channel that analyzes and reflects on anime moments or quotes that relate to him and his competitive mentality. Since JD isn't too into anime, Wassabi brings on his good friend VentusOfficial to talk about Haikyuu!! for this first episode. They explore the idea of a main character in the show and literally any character can be the protagonist of their own show.

Why are we frauds? Life is going well, right? JD is getting a dog, Will got a SICK new job, we should be totally content, right? No. We aren't good at melee. Or we are, rather, but we aren't improving. It's tough to say.
