Being raised in an Asian household where we take our food no less than extremely seriously, watching Mana chop like he does is like seeing him do it in slow motion.
Eh, still better than I could do, even with murderously sharp knives.

......Is there something else you would like to tell us, boss?
Yes, all my kitchen knives are folded over 1000000 times by ancient Japanese swordsmiths trained in the art of Dux-Ryu Ninjitsu.
And I still can't cut an onion ::meev::

Well, no wonder you can’t- Steel folded more than twenty times would break! Even one thousand folded blades are mere exaggeration, but real talk, let me guess... I could see you with a Kuhn Rikon. ;)

I'm done with Teutonic knives, I use this:
https://www.cutleryandmore.com/yaxell-super-gou/chefs-knife-p134517
It seems to have lost some of its legendary edge after the first re-sharpening though, it was downright frightening when I first got it.

I also got some knife off Kickstarter that's made of the metal Navy Seals use in their gorilla warfare against Al-Quaeda. I dunno, seems fine to me XD
I chose the blue handle ::mana::

would you say you're faster at stabbing someone than chopping onions?
I dunno, would you say this someone is faster or slower than an onion? XD

Mana will do anything to avoid writing new music it seems. I am of course referencing the baseball footage he has been so kind as to grace us with :undecided:

But what about the Manly Cooking? ::meev::

I don't know what it is with the Japanese and using terrible cuts of chicken. The more authentic a Japanese place I go to, the worse the chicken seems to be.

The baseball footage is amazing!! I loved it!

Mana's been saying he likes sports for years but i never realized he might actually be kind of good at them xD

Also, anyone noticed he changed boots throughout the video?

New cooking video from Mana:


Some sort of curry made out of ground pork?
Everything he makes has something about it that makes it utterly unappealing to me, I swear XD

It's the amount of garlic he wasted trying to fill that little dish that did it for me ::kiwi::

But I love the way he just sweeps all that wasted food into the sink, he does it with such panache :lol:

In absolute terms, the grossest thing in the video was probably the ketchup-Worcestershire sauce mixture, but what definitively noped me out was how he just kept dumping more cayenne pepper in there. What kind of curry is this? XD

I'm incapable of seeing him cook without thinking of this comment fsdkjahfdksjhfads

Funny as that is, I'm slightly disappointed that it says nothing about hadaka ni apron.

And it doesn't matter if Hanachan can't use knives cause he hates veggies anyway :P
Aside from garlic, is there anything that needs to be fine sliced other than veggies?

Worchester sauce + ketchup is pretty much okonomi sauce, no?
Anyhow yeah, that thing ended up half various sorts of pepper in the end like what XD

Mana gets a t-shirt of "Necromancer":

And I'll still never forgive him for enticing me to buy a copy of that awful game. The only good thing about it is that one piece of title screen art he's wearing - which is actually by H. R. Giger himself.

Meanwhile I'm still scandalized by how he threw out the entire top of that bell pepper.
That was perfectly good pepper. There are starving children in Africa who would be happy to have that pepper.

I Just bought my ticket for viewing the livestream of Dis inferno XVIII ~LAST YEAR PARTY~ I didn't even realize there was a livestream viewing option! Hoping hoping hoping there will be some kind of news related to new music coming out from Mana.

For anyone else who was unaware like me here is the link to purchase an online streaming ticket: https://ib.eplus.jp/moidixmois
