Hey there and welcome back to Rival Reviews . So

0:03

, first and foremost , I want to say thank you for

0:05

all of the I guess reviews

0:08

in

0:10

regards to this format that I did last

0:12

week or I guess last

0:15

couple weeks , last episode let's

0:17

go with that and you

0:19

guys seemed to really like it . So I think , going

0:21

forward , this is what I'll probably do , like

0:25

it . So I think , going forward , this is what I'll probably do . Um , I think

0:27

what I'll yeah , like I said , what I'll probably do is that , like , I'll obviously

0:29

do the original like , kind of like what I did beforehand , where

0:32

you know what I'm

0:34

going to watch that season , my first thoughts , and

0:36

then kind of like a middle , how it's

0:38

going and then how it ended . And

0:41

then I think what I'll do is that I'll do episodes like

0:43

this . Um , or maybe even some more Q

0:45

and A's in the future . Um

0:47

, about the uh

0:49

in , like in regards to like doing

0:52

like uh , an episode

0:54

here or there about like one specific anime

0:56

, um , so

0:58

, yeah , so what I'm going to do , uh , this week , uh

1:01

, one of the biggest this

1:10

week , one of the biggest , I guess , critiques that I got was how I did not go with my known-to-all-who-have-listened-to-this

1:12

favorite anime . So here we go . This is the episode about Fullmetal Alchemist

1:14

Brotherhood , so

1:17

let's start with a little overview and introduction

1:19

. So Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is

1:21

a Japanese anime series adapted from

1:23

the manga Fullmetal Alchemist by

1:25

Hiromu Arakawa . The

1:28

series premiered in 2009 , quickly garnered

1:30

a massive following for its compelling story

1:32

, complex characters and philosophical

1:34

themes . Unlike its predecessor

1:37

, the 2003 anime adaptation , brotherhood

1:39

follows the manga's storyline

1:42

closely , offering a more faithful and complete

1:44

adaptation . Follows the manga's storyline closely , offering a more

1:46

faithful and complete adaptation . Um , I always find this funny when I talk

1:48

about like with friends and everything else like that , which

1:50

one I like more ? So on and so forth , and it's definitely

1:52

Brotherhood , for sure . Um

1:58

, obviously , I think that's . Uh , this is due to the fact that it went in the direction that the like , the

2:00

story went in the direction that the writer originally

2:02

, like you know , wanted , and

2:04

it's kind of interesting when you go back and

2:07

watch either one Like , you can see where

2:09

it completely like

2:11

veered off . It went in

2:13

like a completely different path . Not to say

2:16

so . Here's

2:18

the thing . I would never say that the

2:20

I guess we call it the original . The

2:22

original anime series is Fullmetal Alchemist

2:24

. I would never say

2:26

that it's bad . It's just bad

2:28

in comparison to Brotherhood

2:31

. Um , because at some point

2:33

kind of right in the middle there it

2:35

becomes a completely different story with

2:37

different stakes , uh , different main

2:39

bad guy , uh different

2:42

kind of thought and to how

2:44

really the world itself

2:46

works . Um , like

2:48

you know , like with the first one kind of

2:50

going in the direction of the emperor shambhala and

2:52

everything else , like that , and you

2:55

know this whole alternate

2:57

universe theory , so on and

2:59

so forth , everything else , and like it

3:01

, like brotherhood doesn't

3:03

do . It was just , it was very interesting

3:05

that it for something

3:08

that decided to kind of go off on its

3:10

own to create a finished

3:13

television product to

3:15

be so completely

3:18

different in how

3:20

Brotherhood ended , how

3:22

Brotherhood ended , and not

3:25

even in terms of characters , world

3:27

building and story

3:29

. Most

3:31

interesting to me is the main baddie

3:34

too . Usually , if you're going to

3:36

do a different adaptation , that's fine , but usually

3:39

those core elements

3:41

are generally the same . So it's very interesting

3:43

in this sense . Where , though , yes , they are the same . So it's very interesting in this sense where , though

3:45

, yes , they

3:48

are the same thing and are both

3:50

obviously clearly inspired by the same source material

3:52

. They are two completely

3:54

different stories , so

3:57

it is definitely not fair to say that just because

3:59

you've watched one means that you've watched

4:01

the other . That's just not

4:03

the case when it comes to Full Moon , alchemist and

4:05

then Brotherhood respectively

4:07

. So , yeah , so , like I said

4:09

, I wouldn't say that Full Moon Alchemist , the

4:12

original anime , is bad . It's

4:14

just in my opinion , and I would

4:16

say in the majority of

4:18

the population that have watched both , that Brotherhood

4:21

is just it reigns supreme . What

4:28

I generally tell people , kind of going back to my original point here , is that if

4:30

you are planning to watch this series and you haven't

4:32

yet , my advice would

4:34

be to watch the original

4:37

film alchemist first before

4:39

you watch brotherhood . Um

4:42

, just for the fact that , like

4:44

I said , especially

4:46

with the and again , I just find that the

4:48

strength of the story and the way that they both

4:50

end and everything else like that , brotherhood is just so much

4:52

more superior that if

4:54

you are to watch brotherhood first , I

4:58

don't think it gives

5:00

a fair chance to the original full metal

5:02

alchemist . Um , what I

5:04

kind of like about the idea is that , like one , I

5:07

it's almost kind of like I've gotten a little mini alternative

5:09

reality story from the other one . Um

5:13

, and the other cool part

5:15

about it is because , like , you get to , like

5:17

you know , delve into some

5:19

other characters that maybe you didn't think were

5:21

going to be as important , um

5:24

, and then there was like the whole idea of it like

5:26

being like an alternate reality to our own type

5:28

of thing , and yeah , so there is

5:30

definitely some cool aspects about it , but I would

5:32

still definitely say that if you were to watch

5:35

brotherhood first , you wouldn't appreciate the

5:37

original , uh , as much

5:39

as you could . Um

5:41

, that would be my only

5:43

um suggestion

5:46

on that . Like I said , both are great . Brotherhood

5:48

is just better . So

5:51

, for you know , lack of trying

5:54

, obviously , talking about the different realities

5:57

, this , the rest of this episode will

5:59

be focusing on Brotherhood , because that

6:01

is my favorite . So

6:04

, yeah , so , to sort of kind of like give

6:07

an overview

6:10

. The story is set in a fictional world where alchemy

6:12

is one of the most advanced scientific techniques . It

6:15

follows the journey of two brothers , edward and Alphonse

6:17

Elric , who use alchemy to attempt

6:19

to resurrect their deceased mother . However

6:22

, the experiment goes terribly wrong , resulting

6:24

in Edward losing his left leg and Alphonse losing

6:26

his entire body . Edward

6:29

sacrifices his right arm to bind Alphonse's

6:31

soul to a suit of armor . The

6:33

series then chronicles their quest to find the

6:35

Philosopher's Stone , a powerful artifact

6:37

that could restore their bodies , yeah

6:41

, so kind of going into that kind

6:45

of really rolls into

6:47

my next segment , which would be the key things

6:49

and philosophical questions that are kind of explored

6:52

in this show

6:54

. Um , and I think that's

6:57

why it resonates so deeply and why it is considered

6:59

one of the one of the best animes , and

7:02

this isn't just my opinion , there's a whole

7:04

I'm sure the majority

7:06

of readers know what my anime list is

7:08

. There's a reason why

7:11

it's number one on that list with millions

7:13

upon millions of users using that

7:15

site , and

7:19

even the diehards that

7:21

kind of bomb other animes on

7:23

purpose . I'm not one of those . But how

7:28

I like to see that in a positive light is that

7:30

there's some crazies crazy enough that do

7:32

not want to see this one lifted from its throne

7:34

, and I kind

7:36

of leave it at that . But

7:38

yeah , so I would say if I had to put

7:40

it down , there's three

7:43

, I guess , kind of make key

7:45

, main key themes and philosophical

7:47

questions , in my opinion , that are kind of like the

7:50

, the overarching elements that create

7:52

the story Um . So first , obviously

7:54

and foremost , um is the law of equivalent

7:57

exchange and this idea , um , so

7:59

this principle follows the foundation of alchemy

8:01

in the series states um that

8:03

to obtain it

8:06

obtains follows the foundation of alchemy . In the series states , um , that to

8:08

obtain something , something of equal value must be lost . Um , this concept raises questions

8:10

about the cost of ambition and the moral implications

8:13

of scientific advancement . Um

8:15

, so , yeah , so it's interesting that it

8:18

it really does touch on

8:20

some real life kind of , you

8:22

know , give , give and

8:24

take is the best way to put

8:26

it , and it personifies it , like I said , like kind

8:29

of so at the beginning of this . You know the

8:31

equivalent exchange , what they attempted to do when

8:33

, failing to bring their mother back to life , they

8:36

actually physically lost parts of

8:38

themselves . In

8:40

Alphonse's case , he literally lost his entire

8:43

body and the only reason he comes

8:45

back tied to the suit of armor is because of

8:47

Edwards quick

8:49

thinking , honestly , um

8:51

, and really is the only way

8:53

that that kind of goes on . And it's

8:57

kind of interesting in the sense that , um

9:00

and what I would say , what it rolls really into

9:02

the next , uh kind of idea , which would

9:04

be sacrifice and redemption , just

9:07

for the fact that you know , I

9:09

think throughout the entire show there is a lot

9:11

to be said about what is

9:13

one willing to sacrifice for the

9:16

needs of not only one's personal

9:18

gain , but the betterment

9:20

of the greater good

9:23

, I guess is

9:25

the best way that I can put it . Um

9:27

, you know the series constantly explores

9:29

what individuals are willing to sacrifice

9:31

for their goals . You know

9:34

, like , like I said , for me it goes straight

9:36

from . You know , the Elric brothers initial sacrifice to

9:38

the choices made by the supporting characters like

9:40

Roy Mustang , uh , scar

9:42

, um , uh . You

9:44

know even some of the homunculi . You

9:46

know , if you talk about greeds , you

9:49

know decisions throughout the thing

9:51

and everything throughout the course of

9:53

the show has crazy

9:56

. You know

9:58

consequences and stuff to

10:01

the overarching story

10:03

and

10:05

I think what this show does

10:07

best is that it examines the personal costs

10:10

of pursuing one ideals and the possibility

10:12

of redemption . Um , and

10:15

what can , what can come along with that

10:17

Um , and third and foremost

10:20

, what I think is probably one of the biggest

10:22

key themes , um , is the

10:24

nature of humanity . Um

10:26

, right , so you have the homunculi , you have the

10:28

artificial humans that are created throughout me

10:31

. You know they kind of serve as , like this

10:33

, almost like dark reflection of human

10:36

desires and flaws . You know

10:38

, and you know , I

10:40

think it's a very like , obvious

10:43

, kind of gawking

10:46

moment too where , like you know , they think

10:48

that they've created this powerful

10:50

army and their perfect weapon and everything else

10:52

, and then , of course , the moment that it

10:54

awakens , it essentially becomes like

10:57

, well

11:00

, basically like the whole army turns

11:02

on their makers . Um

11:06

, and then same , obviously you can

11:08

, you can also be said that you know the homunculi

11:10

. They're

11:12

, they're personified all by the seven deadly

11:14

sins . Obviously , um , they

11:16

don't really make that uh , uh

11:19

, they , they

11:21

don't lack shoving that in your face at all

11:23

. Um , and you know

11:25

, I find that a lot of them embody

11:28

mostly

11:31

the negative connotations

11:33

that come with those . Um , the only one

11:35

that I would say that is kind of like I

11:38

guess you

11:41

know that

11:43

kind of almost has a better ending than most

11:45

of them , would be greeds , because you know

11:47

, greed , instead

11:49

of , like you know , just being about the

11:51

money or the satisfaction

11:53

or anything else like that , is that he

11:56

, in a weird way , is

12:00

, is greedy of his

12:03

relationships with people . Um

12:05

, so the thing that makes him snap the most , especially

12:07

at the end , and makes him turn on his other homunculi

12:10

I guess brothers and sisters you could call them is

12:15

that they were hurting what was his . So

12:18

it's kind of like odd

12:21

I guess in a sense that you look

12:23

at it from that way that he almost

12:25

treats people as commodities . But at

12:28

the end of it , I think it is more deeper than that

12:30

and it's very clear

12:32

that he's

12:34

greedy for the feelings of

12:37

love and compassion and care . And

12:41

greed doesn't necessarily have to be

12:43

negative things like doing

12:46

anything they want for power or money

12:48

or like

12:51

anything like that . It was like it

12:53

was almost like a turn that , you know , just because

12:55

they call it a sin doesn't

12:57

necessarily mean that it has to be sinful

13:00

, if that makes sense

13:02

. Um , so yeah

13:04

, it's just , it's very interesting to see the

13:07

way that they interact with other humans

13:09

. Even , um , you know , because

13:11

, like I would say , I

13:13

think one of the biggest ones here is

13:15

, like you know , like , even kind of like the dying monologue

13:18

of envy after you know

13:20

, roy , you know , basically essentially annihilates

13:23

her to the point that she can't regenerate

13:26

and learns

13:29

that self-respecting thing that the

13:32

reason why she basically

13:34

he or she , I

13:36

don't know that basically

13:39

that they never stayed

13:41

in their original form , is because they were just

13:43

like same thing . They were jealous of the

13:45

feelings that friends could have for each

13:47

other , that the calm , the camaraderie

13:50

of the humans and everything else coming together

13:52

to fight the Honkyai , things

13:55

like that , and it becomes fairly obvious

13:57

that you know the jealousy

13:59

was

14:02

, though it was

14:04

to their detriment . At the

14:06

end , I think they learned

14:09

that you know that

14:13

it was something worthy to be , worthy to

14:15

be envious of . Um

14:17

, cause I find that a lot of envy's

14:19

, anger , came from being

14:21

envious , but not really understanding as

14:23

to why . Because they just saw

14:26

the humans as weaker than

14:28

them , but because they work together

14:31

and because they use the power of their relationships

14:33

and everything else to fuel their fight

14:35

, um , you know that's

14:39

what defeated them in the end . Um

14:42

, so , yeah , so it's just , it's very interesting that

14:44

it kind of goes that way . Um

14:47

, so , yeah . So , kind of to break down , I

14:51

guess in my mind there's four

14:53

kind of like

14:56

main characters that , like

14:58

I would say , are memorable to

15:01

the series . So , of course , we have our lead , edward

15:03

Elric . He is the full

15:05

metal alchemist . He is a brilliant and determined

15:07

young man . His journey is

15:09

, as such , about personal growth and self-discovery

15:12

, as it is about restoring his and his brother's bodies

15:14

. Personal growth and self-discovery as it is about restoring his and his brother's bodies . Edward's

15:16

character development is marked by his evolving understanding of the consequences

15:18

of his actions and his increasing empathy . You

15:21

know , I think at the beginning of the um

15:24

anime and even like when , like

15:26

it kind of flashes back to when edward's like a child

15:29

, um , it's very obvious

15:31

that he's very , not

15:34

pompous but all he cares

15:36

about is alchemy

15:38

and using that alchemy for

15:42

his own personal gains . You know , like , at

15:44

first I think it was a curiosity because , like

15:46

, he learned from his father's

15:49

books and stuff like that about what it was and

15:51

what it could do , like that about what it was and what it could do . And

15:53

then you know , we jump all the way , obviously , to the

15:55

initial sacrifice at the beginning of

15:58

him basically trying to , you know , uh

16:01

, defy the laws

16:04

of , of of the

16:06

world and tries to bring back his mother from

16:08

the dead . Um , and

16:11

you know , even if we go further

16:13

into the adventure

16:16

, you know of him , I have to find the

16:18

philosopher's stone to get our bodies back . I have

16:20

to find and everything else . And then when he learns what would

16:24

need to be done to use the

16:26

philosopher's stone , or what the philosopher's stone , how

16:28

it was created , and everything else like that , you

16:31

know , by the time that he gets

16:33

there through his adventure , through the

16:35

people that he's learned from , from his own

16:37

personal mistakes and

16:39

, like I said before , his own kind of personal growth

16:42

and self-discovery . He learns

16:44

that , you

16:47

know , just because he

16:50

wants it for his own personal gains , that doesn't

16:53

mean that you should overlook what

16:56

is for the greater good , which

16:58

is super interesting and super personified

17:00

. Especially , and again

17:02

, if you haven't watched this , this is a spoiler , so just

17:06

sorry . But

17:08

, like you know , at the end he even

17:10

sacrifices the thing , arguably , that

17:13

makes him the most powerful and that he loves the

17:15

most , which is the power for him to use alchemy

17:17

for his

17:19

brother's sake and for the sake of the world . And

17:24

you know , instead

17:26

of having to use this magic stone that he's been on

17:28

this thing for , because he knows

17:30

how it was made and

17:33

everything else like that he chooses . You know what

17:35

I'm going to use the one thing that

17:37

is mine and mine

17:40

alone to get what I want

17:42

equivalent exchange and

17:45

that that definitely closes

17:47

the door on his personal growth and

17:49

character development and is huge

17:52

because it's like his number one weapon

17:54

and the thing that he loves the most doing . But

17:57

he obviously learned and it

17:59

was probably expected that , you know it

18:01

didn't matter because he was getting his brother back , um

18:04

, but yeah , so

18:07

yeah , so next , obviously , uh , kind of going back

18:09

would definitely be alphonse elric . Um , so

18:11

he is bound to a suit of armor armor

18:13

because of his body being taken away

18:15

when they tried to bring the mother back . Elphelance

18:18

often serves as kind of like the moral compass

18:21

of the series . You know , anytime when his brother

18:23

is going to kind of go off the

18:25

deep end , so to speak , or maybe do something

18:27

that's questionable and moral , he's

18:30

kind of always there to be like you know , brother

18:33

, we don't do this , that's not us , that's

18:35

not how we do things . Um

18:37

, and it's kind of like really funny

18:39

because , like you know , there's the , there's

18:41

the , you know the , further

18:44

from the ongoing jump that he's always being called the full malchemist

18:46

instead of his brother , because he's actually made of

18:49

, you know , metal all over . Um

18:51

, he has this like really big , imposing

18:54

appearance and everything else , but

18:56

he's actually the super , he's

18:58

the Jolly Green Giant , he's super gentle , super

19:00

caring , and

19:03

then his more . It's

19:06

interesting that his more personal struggle was

19:08

kind of like his struggle

19:11

with his loss of humanity . He doesn't sleep

19:14

, he doesn't have , he doesn't sleep , he doesn't eat , um

19:17

, and you know , all this

19:19

time he's trying to deal with that . But then also

19:21

being like this unwavering support system

19:24

for his brother , um , which

19:26

I feel like definitely personifies that . He's more of the

19:29

personification of the deep bond between

19:31

them . Um , and

19:34

I would say arguably that , you know , edward

19:36

would have probably just gone and used

19:38

the philosopher's stone for whatever he

19:41

wanted in the future if it wasn't for alphonse

19:43

being with him every step of the way . Um

19:46

, next person

19:48

I want to talk about is my all-time favorite anime

19:50

character of all time , mr roy mustang

19:52

, the flame alchemist . Um

19:54

, he's a complex character driven by a sense of

19:56

duty and desire for justice . Um

19:59

, his ambition to become fewer and reform the

20:01

corrupt government is central to his character arc

20:03

, showcasing his strategic mind , the

20:05

burdens of leadership , I

20:07

think , further from , like you know , just kind of the

20:09

for lack of better

20:11

expression , the badassery of his character

20:14

. I also

20:16

love the fact that , though he

20:18

comes off as a very like curt

20:21

to the book , you

20:24

know , the law is the law , so

20:26

on and so forth he also knows

20:28

how to , I

20:30

guess , look past that . Like case in

20:32

point , he visits Edward Elric a

20:35

little while after he and

20:38

Alphonse try to bring back his

20:40

mother and , theoretically

20:42

, right then and there , they should have been taken

20:44

away to , like you know , prison or whatever

20:46

or anything else like that . But instead , you know , he saw

20:48

that the kids were broken , he saw that they

20:50

had already lost everything that was important

20:52

to them and

20:56

, you know , overlooked it and

20:59

then also kind of became a weird sort

21:01

of almost like a father

21:04

figure to the boys , like even though he

21:06

kind of came off as , like you know , being

21:09

a bother and everything else like that he was always there

21:11

in their corner making sure that they were making the right

21:13

decisions , that they were well taken care of . You

21:16

know that basically

21:18

somebody was able to keep their eye on them because

21:21

he seemed to be the one person that

21:23

, because they were , you

21:25

know , essentially children in

21:28

a adult's world , um

21:31

, and he was one of the main people

21:33

. That was like very , he

21:35

walked the fine line of knowing

21:38

that they were children but not treating them like children

21:40

because they , you

21:43

know , were involved in

21:45

all of the important things and everything else like

21:47

that . But he , you

21:50

know , knew when

21:52

they had to be kids and when they had to be adults

21:54

Is probably the best way that I can put it

21:56

. And just that man , that MV

21:59

scene , and also even that fight with Lust and everything

22:01

else too . He's just , he's so badass , he's

22:04

great , best character ever . And

22:08

last but certainly not least , I

22:10

want to bring up Winry Rockbell

22:13

. Not only

22:15

is obviously the mechanic

22:17

of the automail that

22:19

Edward has to

22:21

use for his arm and leg , she

22:25

also is the childhood friend , she

22:29

represents the emotional heart

22:31

of the series . Um , you

22:33

know , like I find that the best way that I can

22:35

put it is that her relationship with the brothers , that's

22:37

like a depth to their characters and

22:39

provides like a if

22:42

Edward or , sorry , if Alphonse is

22:44

the grounding to Edward's

22:46

morality . Winry

22:49

is the one that brings them both back , knowing

22:51

that , like you know , they

22:54

can be normal , they are

22:56

human . You know it's

22:59

okay to make mistakes . It's , you

23:01

know , basically making sure that

23:04

they're not just scientists

23:07

, they're not just alchemists , they're not just , you

23:09

know , weapons of war , they're not just scientists , they're not just alchemists , they're

23:12

not just weapons of war , they're not anything like that , they're

23:14

good people and

23:17

she's the one that keeps them very grounded

23:19

emotionally and

23:23

that's definitely the importance that she brings for

23:26

sure , um , in

23:28

a very emotional sense . Um

23:31

, I'd

23:34

be amiss to say that , obviously , film

23:37

monogamous as a whole has left

23:39

its mark on anime . Um , it's a well-crafted

23:41

narrative , uh , with rich character development

23:44

, and it sets a , in my opinion

23:46

, really high standard for not only storytelling but also

23:48

world building . Um

23:50

, you know , I

23:53

I think the last thing

23:55

that I would like to maybe point out is obviously

23:57

the soundtrack of this uh anime , in my

23:59

opinion , is super iconic as well

24:01

. Like , like every

24:04

other week I , at least I have to listen to again by

24:06

yui , at least once . Um

24:08

, and I find that this is one of the like kind

24:10

of original ones where , like , it's

24:13

the standard and benchmark , to my mind

24:16

, of like animation

24:18

quality , if that makes sense . Like

24:20

it's like this and up , because

24:22

, like , obviously I know that it's like the late , like

24:25

it's 2009 , so I know that obviously it was

24:27

a while ago , so obviously I'm not

24:30

, I'm not a stranger to think that animation hasn't

24:32

gotten better , because it definitely has , but I

24:35

find it harder to now watch things

24:37

that are older than that , because

24:39

this is my benchmark . Um

24:42

, and , like I've said in past episodes before

24:44

anybody

24:46

who asks me , you know I want to try

24:48

an anime , I want to get into anime . What should I watch

24:50

? This is the first

24:53

one that I always bring up . I will and

24:55

it honestly probably will be forever and

24:57

I don't know like , like several

25:00

friends , my wife , um

25:02

just anybody , and even

25:04

in conversation I've brought it up that it needs

25:07

to be like it's . It's

25:10

the gateway anime , in my opinion , is

25:12

the best way that I can put it . Um

25:14

, so , yeah , I guess my closing

25:17

thoughts on this . Um full

25:20

malcolm's brotherhood . It's a profound exploration

25:23

of human nature , ambition and the quest

25:25

for redemption . Um , its

25:27

enduring popularity is a testament to its powerful storytelling

25:29

and the emotional for redemption . Um , its enduring popularity is a testament to its powerful storytelling and the emotional resonance

25:32

, resonance it holds for viewers around

25:34

the world . Um , thank

25:37

you again , obviously , for listening . I'm hoping

25:39

that you , like I said I I got some good feedback

25:41

on the last one , so

25:44

I thought I would do it again with obviously my favorite

25:46

one here . Um , I think there'll probably

25:48

be one more episode like

25:50

this . I'll have to think about which anime I'm going to

25:52

do it about , and

25:55

then we'll probably , at that point

25:57

, be at the end of this season , so then we can go

26:00

back to reviewing . But , yeah , let me know what

26:02

you think . I hope

26:05

it was entertaining . And

26:07

, like I said , rival X , private reviews on all social medias

26:09

If you want to reach out

26:11

. Let me know what you

26:13

think . Just say hi , whatever

26:16

. So yeah , till

26:18

next time . Stay curious , stay

26:20

passionate and remember to gain

26:22

something , you must give something of equal value

26:24

. Bye , bye . Something of equal

26:30

value

26:35

, bye-bye

26:40

.
