That's what we get when both the co-hosts have full time jobs.Anyways, this is a very silly episode where we play a very silly game that involves pitting Otome LIs against each other in a fight. HOWEVER. They also get advantages (handicaps?) like replacing Yukimura from IkeSen's top half with Satan from ObeyMe and Yang from Piofiore being distracted by shiny things.This time we don't talk about anything serious because it's literally impossible to be serious while playing this game.
