"this man is weird" I lose it. LMAOOO you perfectly sump up Leos. i cant stop laughing. Also kudos to you for not only translating this, but also giving context + lore + making it easy and interesting to follow. Thank you so much!

The amount of effort you put into these videos are amazing, I pray that all niji fans who are interested in jp shall discover you Thankyou for the vids

29:21 I think the reason Yashiro picked Claire (other than as fellow SEEDs member) was because a while back ithe played PawaPro with Debi watching him while creating the characters. He has Claire as a member of his team and when creating Claire, they fantasized Claire as an ex-yankee and her former classmate would call her "Anego" whenever they met Claire (probably because of her new outfit at that time). Then while looking at the stats he noticed Claire's smartness was E and he said "She's an ex-yankee after all" a few times and Claire apeared in his comment and "angry" about it. For more context you can just search ”クレア元ヤン”

5:40 for context: Lize and Ponto Nei have been friends ever since the "Sanbaka X Ranunculus". They got paired together and Ponto somehow ended up becoming the "Nei Dragon" protector of Helesta (and also just Lize's pet). Mana is someone who she has both helped as a senpai but also got helped by during the Mahjong tournament, leading up to them getting really far in the tournament.

Further Notes This year's Koshien draft actually peaked at 209K, so it actually went over 200K this year, which is just astounding. Some interesting pickup from the lottery stage As mentioned Hana and Rosemi entered into Lize, which meant Ange might get the love she wanted during the draft after all. Enna and Reimu will be buddies in VR West, also an interesting pick is Sho and Rou. Rou famously became Deron's dog during his first Minecraft stream and Sho has been Rou's partner since VTA days, so Deron is likely to play with those two. Nothing really pops out for Shiina's team except there are a lot of my favorites there (Kana, Aia, Layla, Roco, Reza, Millie) P.S. - I forgot about the Millie/Maimoto connection. Thanks for the reminder, kind stranger, that was a great Nijisanji moment. Nui gets Yun, which will pair nicely with Nari. She stole Aki, which is good. And she adds a dragon Elira, but also the future Riri, which I guess will now make the story into more of a fusion isekai fantasy? Well, I guess that's pretty cool. Rika manages to strike empty, only netting Kagetsu from '23 and Akira from VTA. Dola is in a nice place though, she has her daughter and her genmate (Kyoko) as well. And I guess a fellow horned drink buddy in the form of Mikoto as well. Toya has apparently taken the Kuzuha role, with eight of the members being once part of Kuzuha's Team (Toko 21, Gilzaren 22, Shiba 21/22, Kokoro 22, Riksa 21, Seffyna 21, Luca 22) Seffyna and Sera is a good combo, and Toya manages to nab one more loli in the form of Emma August during the lottery, also he was piqued by the Q in Yu Q Wilson... Yashiro has interesting pairs - Suha/Nagi, Aster/Scarle, Kotoka/Doppio... also addition of Levi and Genzuki really makes this team more of a ProSeca team than a baseball team. Seriously though, there is no powerhouse other than Chaika and Doppio(?) Leos decided to bail on his genmates, picking Lain as his last declared pick. He gets Oliver anyways, completing the three set. Hajime/Kanda/Bonni(?) is a nice trio of gentlemen, two of selejo as well (Kohaku/Hisui). P.S - Oh! Don't forget Kagami/Jiyu pair! Ibrahim meanwhile is more suited for APEX, not only he got Lauren/Kanae/Ars/Chii-chan but just to nail the post down, he nabs Selen as well, and considering Crow is playing APEX as his first outside collab, maybe he might be included as well. Of course, if the APEX thing doesn't work, he has Ryushen and Kirame so he can pivot to Mahjong. Muyu/Seraph is an interesting pair. Hiba actually has really nice lottery picks, three heroes (Imami Rai/Usami Rito/Bandage) and former one (Etna), Hex the healer, Finana/Pomu is a dangerous combo especially with the addition of Maria, Tomoe replaces Kana for the Tulip-gumi trio and also friends with Luis as well, and Alice rounds off as the mischievous rabbit girl. Yeah, this gels really well.

Additionally, Shu is also Petra‘s „little brother“.

🙏ganneko smiles upon you

Thanks for the long tl of the draft, watched it live but the tl and tl notes really helped me understand what happened. Are you planning on covering the training arcs of one of the coaches, like maybe Lize since she grabbed Furen?

you are the GOAT for these long translations.

Oooh, nice breakdown of the draft. It’s hella funny and helps tie things up together, both for peeps who are deep in NijiJP rabbithole and those who aren’t. Also just to add in timestamp 41:47, Kanato and Tarai’s friendship stretches way back even when they are in VTA. All of Volta and Ranunculus were close friends since they’re the pioneer batch but it was Kanato and Hibari who hit it off well, and is pretty evident until now.

Thanks a ton for your hard work with this and all your other translations!! Super helpful for understanding the dynamics, and funny as shit too lmao

such a high effort TL and edit, thank you!

Thank you for the long recap, it's very well edited and really funny! It was very nice seeing everything so well analyzed

Thanks for the videos! I enjoyed your videos of this last year

You are a rock star. Thank you for the editing and translation, this is amazing work.

As for region draft - Iwate was contested because Ohtani "clone" could join the team. Rest of the regions have high chance of "clones" of good players too, especially Mie, Miyazaki, Tottori and Kanagawa - there are a lot of good pitchers there (in relation to other positions) which are crucial for good 3 year eikan nine run. Osaka was chosen by Deron because she is from VR Kansai, it is one of the toughest regions to play the game because of many strong teams. Keep up the great work man!

What suprise me, 4 from 7 draft pick by mameneko are coach from previous nijiko series (2021-2022)

I watched the draft live but was so lost not knowing most of their names! I very much needed this

Thank you SO MUCH 😭😭

an hour long thank you so much for your effort

Watarai not taking Alban was a huge miss. Bro's a Phantom Thief disguised as a konbini worker.

What an excellent Draft news! Love the background/reason of their relationship with their picks. There are some fun things that I hope everyone would also watch the stream even though we don't understand Japanese completely

Amazing video, thank you, this was very fun to watch !

YOU! Are you a hero?! Thanks for the long stream tl as always!!! And THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK

Thanks

9:34 Thank you for this. I finally know the context for this event.

🙏🙏🙏 thank you for your hard work tling!!!

Thank you as always corvus. May Your documentarys exist forever.

Thank you for your wonderful work🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️

Yo this is insanely good!!!

this is draft video that i want,not just some highlight,as expected of Corvus Interpreter

thank u sm 🥹

Your commentary was so witty for this. Amazing work as always, thanks so much for taking the time to cover this! Looking forward to whatever you work on next!

1:05 the irony since at this time she had just returned to Niji last year after leaving. Don't mess with the Sasaki! lol

Thank you for doing such a long and detailed video about this! 🙏

i love the heros training hs draft part

this is so fun and informative! thank you so much!!

I'll be supporting steal this year I guess... We are Pomu, you are Pomu, I am Pomu! Is still my favorite moment in koshien

Karma really came back to bite kenmochi in the ass

god damn it bro yopuve done it again

This is so well made. Thank you!!!

YESSSS! I WAS WAITING FOR THIS! 🤍🤍

Thank you for this. I love how detailed you did this. 😭♥️♥️

!!! thank you for your hard work this is insanely amazing !!!🥺🙏

Thank you for your hardwork man! We really appreciate it! ❤❤

so glad i found this channel, thank you for the effort you put into these vids for us fellow fans

Might be a coincidence but I noticed that Kenmochi was trying to pick the previous players from shinsoku as well (kuzuha's team).

Thank you for the sub ❤️😭

Thank you so much for translating this o7 I hope you a really great month

Amazing work Corvus!

40 damn minutes woah

Holy hell😂🎉

i think why deron picked rena because rena respects deron or they both just close to each other. in vsaikyou last season where deron was with shirande, deron made fun chat that she wanted to get cheered (it was because aqua got cheered on apex tourney chat log from shiina i think) and rena is the first who cheered her while others just made fun of her (in a fun way ofc), especially miyako. even when deron replied them with "kasu" rena still gave her smiley face emote while other was scared

Corvus interpreter really is the goat

Lize and Shiina fangirling YashiChai even though they wanted Chaika too is something else. Shippers are scary.

30:33 recently I got to here Kotokas thoughts on being picked on stream which was cool. As for Claire, IDK if its a specific meme but I first thought of the Japanese expression of "strike the face of buddha 3 times and even he will be mad", in that Claire is a saint that seldom gets angry but if you do make her angry its a very bad thing.

corvus you're so goated

nice edits

I love you❤

21:40 grass(kusa) is slang equalent to lol(laughing out loud)

20:13 and 20:30 small grammar mistakes, should be "too much food" instead of "too many food"

every year i watch the koshien draft to get an update on niji liver's relationships lmao

9:04 Omg, after 2 years I finally learned the context of Yuuta lmao Also for Rena, I vaguely recall that she and Deron were playing Apex together for a custom or smth? Or just ranked. They were with Mao, I think. Also, is it generally normal that not everyone in the gen is drafted, like with Rin not being chosen by Deron?

You forgot that ib, roren and ars are part of OHHO

Debiru would have such a tiny strike zone.

Wow that funny you make story telling at nui part and this another thing, kenmochi literally pick kuzuha half main nine

Thank you for these cool information man and the little story you made for the nui’s team is awesome😂

I'm new to this year koshien, for the league divison, are A league going to against B league? Like Phantom Thief vs Imperial Corvus?

May i know about whats the point of drafting member into this events? Are they (person who get draft) really controlling that baseball game?

Man, sanbaka is yet again, not united😅

-cat -bat ..... -shotacon You got me bud🤣

Wait theres something I don't get. Do they play with 16 people or 7 people during the actual ball game? Like the members who were randomly picked, will I see them in the main game?

can't they just pick whoever livers they want without any previous contact/collab with each other?

Dammit Lize! You ruined the joke!

Petra's lil sis lol

The lolicon and shotacon is united 🤝🏻

Why is no one referencing, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n7SXo9pm192Re40.html on 25:31. They're literally beside the name lmao.
