The interesting thing about Giovanni is that he’s naive, but not incompetent: he basically a kid who wants to look cool and play with his friends, but is still really thoughtful and dedicated when necessary

"Congratulations, little girl! You've officially been promoted to Boy! MINION BOY!!!" My favorite line in the episode, hands down

Fun fact! as the episodes go on, the ending theme changes slightly! for example, on THIS episode, after the first "GREAT AT CRIME!" it says "Don't call us DUMB!"; and after the second, it continues that first chorus of the Banzai Blasters, with a followup "I stole some bubblegum!" also referencing Mera's comment about Loitering and shoplifting bubblegum!

It’s been interpreted that nightmare fuel bringing the bears to life to attack is interpreted as Giovanni’s greatest fear is making is minions unhappy.

She’s named bear trap because she’s not gonna let people walk over her anymore

It's actually quite uncommon for people in this world to get high stats, so the fact that Sylvester has a 3 and two 4's is genuinely impressive. AND REMEMBER DONT SKIP THE OUTRO SONGS

"so far the only thing too make molly happy has been giovanni" jesus that line hurt SO MUCH BECAUSE ITS SO TRUE.

So whenever he geeks out and theorycrafts about the stats I just sit there like: "you will flip out when you see zora"

33:40 I like how you can see Giovanni smiling at the time, but it quickly turning into a frown upon hearing the word ‘died’, small details like this really show how good the show is

Fun fact: someone actually escaped a kidnapping by calling the cops but pretending to order a pizza

Fun fact. Everyone’s epithet word (except for 1 specific character that will come later on) was randomly generated

You spoke over it but the reason Giovanni wants the amulet is because he noticed how much trouble Mera is going through to get it so it must be pretty valuable. Also some interesting facts about the series: 1: Jelloapcalypse explained that Molly's father was always like that, but Molly's mother was the extreme opposite by being 150% dedicated, but together they balanced each other out making the family functional, but the second one of them wasn't available (like the mother dying) the other would immediately become a non-functional parent, like what we see with the father. 2: every character in the series with the exception of one that is yet to be seen and named had their epithet chosen by a random word generator, in fact the anime campaign (that is what the roleplay podcast this series was based on was called) used random word generation a LOT, like the podcast episode names would be groups of three random words and things like that. 3: the role-playing system used in the anime campaign was designed by Jelloapcalypse himself and its ruleset can still be found online.

42:19 I love that Giovanni is like an older brother to Molly even though he's literally only known her for the better part of an afternoon.

It’s a commonly believed theory that the bears coming to life is Giovonni’s nightmare, because it was his subbordinatesrebelling against him for being a bad boss.

Late explaination: in the original campaign, Mera's eyes were *MIRRORS.* Hence why she was called "the lady with the weird eyes."

“A really stupid puppy” …son of a-that’s exactly what he is and I can’t not see him as that from now on XD

OMG. Molly is IRS worst nightmare. She can DUMB down TAXES. She will be a billionaire when she grow up.

Now that you mention the taxes, I kinda want them to get out of jail because he'd been overpaying so much that it ended up covering bail. By the way, current theory is Molly's fear of fire's related to how her mom died.

molly's journey from doormat to beartrap has begun

So one thing to note about Sylvie is that he's voiced by his tabletop player. One of two (well, two-and-a-half) characters to do so.

When the bad guy acts like a better dad than Molly’s actual dad

The 13 hit thing might actually be soup related, Giovanni might have a “soup” of random untapped powers.

19:49 He just explained it. If he gives the amulet to his boss he would probably get a promotion. 25:50 He did not see through it. He literally only heard the tail end of thier conversation and thinks they are museum guards trying to check out and protect the amulet from thieves. He is also 15.... so yeah he is still a kid.

I feel like they tried to play the bat with a knife tape to it as something a kid would think was cool but that's actually very dangerous. If you got hit by a bat with a knife taped to it you would probably get turned into past tense.

It’s so hard to pick a favourite among all of these awesome, well-done characters. This show just makes you love every single one of them. Also, yes, hello, I am Darkness Mc’Dark Edgelord of Dark Darkness, hi.

I love listening to your reactions to these. Thank you for pausing so much- often with reactions, people will just talk while the video plays, leading them to miss important lines.

when I saw the trailer for this I assumed Giovanni would be the main antagonist (but in a team rocket bumbling idiot way) and that Molly would just oppose him. Instead, she teams up with him and he becomes one of the protagonists!

Sylvie actually is a doctor. It seems unlikely but it's true. Explanations will come later. :D

So his super attack is just his fursona huh?

The second half of this seat is even better than the first part

Sylvester's my favorite character I think I'm big into these nerds, I always find myself relating to the sorta meek little guy types although this one isn't meek, more over compensating, that was a good word for it AG, but it still fits. I do love his design, his epithet is very unique, and I just love how he presents himself to be way cooler than he actually is XD

Their is currently no second season, and last I herd as of right now their is not enough money to make a second season. I think I herd they were planing to continue the story by writing a book with the hope to circle back around to making a second season once they have enough money.

I like how he's changing the mug in the lower left of the thumbnails for each episode.

Epithet Erased is (I think) based on a DnD campaign which is why there are damage numbers and everything is divided by grids and the whole top-down view

"They Nibble... they Nibble HARD!" Haha... but jokes aside: Yeah, Mollys Mom surely died in a Fire. And yeah, that she can dumb-down things into Oblivion and the question if she can only use that on summoned stuff OR NOT is very interesting. But anyway, it's a given that she gets better with her own Power, but cause of the Amulet that gives this Show it's name, i legit wonder: Will she become; no kidding; the Strongest Ever? Like All-For-One from MHA? A God of Diversity?

maybe someone already commented this but but the amulet they're after is indeed called the arsène amulet basically. It's named after the famous literary gentleman thief Arsène Lupin. Brendan said that this is canon but might never actually get explained in the show but the amulet is made by a thief (presumably this worlds version of Lupin) who's epithet was steal or thief or something akin to that and he imbued some of his power into the artefact. Strong epithet users can do that but it does cost them some proficiency points to do it. This is why this artefact permanently has the power to steal epithets, something this thief used is epithet to do back when he was alive either 50 or 100 years ago (I can't remember which of the 2 it was).

"...and today we're going to be looking at the second episode of *epitaf* erased..." Excuse me what? You mean Epithet Erased? "Why does he want it?" You talked over him explaining why he wants it. He said "If they want it, that means it's probably worth a lot of money! I bet stealing something like that would get me some kind of raise! Oh! Maybe even a promotion, to the next bonsai rank!" "Epitaf, soup" Excuse me what? You mean Epithet Erased? "How old is he?" 19 "He's definitely making it up." Pretty sure he's not, actually. "Is it real or an illusion?" Quote: Can lull targets to sleep and bring their dreams to *life* .

Woohoo ! I love this series so much ! Can't wait for next episode, I love Dr.Ashling's character and just to make things clear, he IS an actual doctor. He's got a PhD (or more ? Can't remember) and all !

i like who airier thinks sylvee isnt an actual doctor but he legit is like 12 and has a doctorate

So I didn't watch the origonal anime campaign so I have no idea how the rules work from that, but it seems that they can spend proficiency gained from fights to increase thier stats or develop new moves. With Giovanni it seems that these moves don't necessarily need to be based on your epithet. Theoretically you could even have a really badass mundie character.

Indus does all of the cooking... And Mera's diet is 80% headache medecin... WTF is Indus cooking!?

32:00 "This has never been on TV" "60 day money back guarantee! We guarantee we'll keep it!" "New uniform each month so you don't have to-" Eeeeehhh!!! O_O

Giovanni is actually 19 :)

He wears kilt because he's Scottish.

I like how analytic you are about this. Btw, you should react to ending as well (few lines change between episodes).

"If there's another season let me know" haha I wish

I read that the Banzai Blasters are supposed to be Team Rocket. Giovanni's name supports this. And he would fit right in with Jesse, James, Meowth, and whatever Pokemon the two humans caught that season.

I need a clip of his worried call to his wife lol

I don't usually do this but I am convinced that you will really enjoy this. I left a comment on your last Helluvaboss reaction recommending the Channel Axelgear and his fanfic The Arackniss series. The series is an audio drama in the style of old Radio Serials from the 1920s and 30s about Angel Dusts older brother Arackniss who while not formally introduced to the main series has gotten massive popularity in the fanart and fanfic community's. The series itself features Arackniss dealing with Angels shenanigans developing his relationship with Pentious and the most wholesome Irish Himbo to grace the Hazbin Hotel fanart Community.

Dang it, Airier! I'm trying to work on an essay!

Giovanni is best box in the World building his army with kindness and support

The Arséne Amulet. Like the legendary thief.

My favorite character hasn't shown up yet but it is the rat man

The legendary Souper Saiyan

Giovanni is the best charecter and best dad.

You don't skip the Outro! Great at crime is a f*cking bop!

"So much dork. It's almost an overwhelming amount of dork."-airiergames 2021 Funfact! Dork is an old slang for penis!

Im surprised you didnt reacted to ephitet erased before

Giovanni definitely belongs on r/iamverybadass

Don't worry, we all hate Martin Blyndeff (Molly's father)

ep-a-thet erased not ep-at-hat erased

Can't wait tell you meet Percy. She's so much fun.

I definitely want to see you react to the rest of this! There aren't a lot of reactions to this series on youtube.

I feel like if you had an epithet it would be Caffeine or something

I think the best thing about Epithet Erased is figuring out how simple, innocuous words can be made overpowered.

Best Dad ever

this was good, hope you get to part 3 quickly

Sadly there is no Second season currently however the creator is writing a book and it will have an audio book with all the previous VAs

The 2nd season is in development and has characters from theloadingcrew's dnd campaign

You like to dig yourself holes, don't ya?🧙‍♂️

every time i would play kahoot in class my nickname was GIOVANNI POTAGE in all caps.....and there was alwayythat one kid who was like...."heeeyyyy i recognize that name....soup" and i would be like "frieeeennnnndddd"

It's going to be conituned in a book and Molly's sister is the baddie for the first book.

why does Giovanni want the amulet? because Mera (sic?) wants it so it must be cool.

Oh yea, season 1 was quite expensive to make (relatively speaking) so it's not quite feasible to do a season 2 at the moment BUT he has written (part of(?)) season 2 as a book which he recently sent to his editor. And if the book sells then he might get to adapt it into an actual animated season.

Nice reaction, thanks. Waiting for next!

Make more, this is (maybe) a threat

hooray! another episode!

Ya know you should watch “Miles is a Robot” From jelloapocalypse.

Molly's father is a worse father than goku

Crazy Giovanni is only 19

30:50 Welp, it was good while it lasted. Loved your reactions. RIP in pieces.

Thanks for this reaction :) . If you haven't heard it already, could you react to the outro songs (it also changes with the arcs).

The outro song is good too

we are getting a 'second season', its jus not gonna be aniamted, it's gonna be a book!

Will you watch the final tts short that came out

Well, I got good news, bad news, and other good news for you Airer. Good news: There is are new content after season 2. Just look for Epithet Erase Among Us and Epithet Erased Tulaween, where all the actors come together to do a skit made by the writer and dub the unofficial Season 1.5 of the show. As it will introduce even new characters seen in Season 2, and the relationships they will have with each other. Bad news: there is likely not going to be anymore. Apparently, it cost a lot of money to even do 7 episodes. Like it took him months after making the 7 episodes to pay off his debts animating it even with the simpler art. And while there is a drive and a patron to make more, he is not sure he gets the funding to make a Season 2 and may do a comic strip for the rest. Other Good news: there will be comics that would and he may have the voice actors read their parts. Sort of those comic dubs you see on youtube.

Omg this is great

Jeden dla algorytmu

skipping the outro is illegal

oh so real life genderbent giovanni is real

"Oh damn so her mom's not a complete waste of life like her dad!" Those who know: (⁠╬⊙д⁠⊙⁠)⁠⊰⁠⊹ฺ

Skipped the ending theme again...

Should I skip this episode? Nah. That's a pretty dumb idea. 😛

29:02 I mean...

Could you react to the outro its really good?

You should play punishing Gray Raven

the dialogues are pretty much a copy and paste of the table tops campaigns im not even kidding molly is the OC of both the DM of those tabletops and the creator of the series and yeah... thats the big problem i had with the campaigns molly was treated like the main character and she wasn't a player character witch make thing really rail roady, if i remember correctly out of all the characters im pretty sure only Giovanni, the guy with the golden eye and the cop lady are the only player characters there are in the series witch is pretty lame since eeeeh Jello's characters weren't as good as the player characters

Airier. You need to chill.

God was your commentary alwaysbthis boring? I swear it's gotten worse
