Due to technical problems, episode 30 has been fragmented and will take some time to be reassembled. due to this, I have decided to kinda skip over 30 until it is finished and i will just insert it in between the following episodes. hopefully no one notices. if you want to hear some of the banter which occured, check out the fightbait anime podcast to get fightbait and chris's half of the episode. Note i was able to salvage the wheel of manga segment so you will not be lost
with many apologies
