Sixth Street Underground: A Zenless Zone Zero Podcast

23: S1 Knockout, Part 2: It's Engagement, Baby

[Character Name] got robbed!
 
Curious about our deeper takes on each character, flip on back to episode 22. Listen as we wallow in the exhaustion that comes from talking for, like, over an hour. We dive back into our end-of-season knockout, working through the winners and loser's brackets to crown the objectively* best characters of ZZZ season 1!
*All decisions are wholly, entirely, completely subjective and should not be taken as fact for any reason.

22: S1 Knockout, Part 1: Swords, Looks, and Books

It's our Season 1 end-of-season spectacular! We're celebrating the only way we know how:  by ruthlessly, and with increasingly flawed logic, winnowing down Season 1's S-Rank Agents to find out who is number 1 (and 2, and 3).
This is part 1 of our knockout bracket, the finale will be out for our regularly scheduled next episode on 5/29.
Also, all rankings are completely subjective and that Eric and Brian are, objectively, morons... with poor tastes.
We'll see you for part 2, releasing 5/29!

21: BangGuys 2: Electric (Bang)Boogaloo

Hugo's been plotting and so has Brian's cat. Just let us record, Mewgo Vlad!
 
Season one of ZZZ is coming to a close and we're excited to talk through its denouement! We're discussing Vivian, Vlad's story, Yixuan's agent teaser, and how the story's been put together to be put together.
 
Spoiler Warning: We discuss the newest story beats from 23:05 until, like, 43 minutes. Honestly, play the new story first, y'all, it's really good.

19: Poisson d'Avril!

Trigger?! I barely even knew- ah, you get where we're going.
 
It's April Fool's (I mean... it's not, but that's not going to stop Brian) and we've pulled out all the stops! To keep from spiraling over the lack of Trigger on their accounts, Eric and Brian are filling the time with the rambling discussions and vague advice you've come to know and love.
 
In this episode: new story discussion, Trigger analysis, Q&A with Eric and Brian, (at least) three April Fool's pranks, and the first installment of a new segment dedicated to a member of our Discord community!
 
Spoiler Warning: We discuss the newest story beats from 8:20 until 12:30

If Silver Soldier 0 can use her weapons with either hand, is she Anby-dextrous?

Spoiler Warning: We start talking SAnby's character story at 32:28. We start main story at 41:53

14: In Defense of Simplicity

Astra Yao is here and she highlights a key element to what makes the design of ZZZ so interesting: simplicity.
 
Brian's not able to record this week, so it's a solo day for Eric. Apologies for the short episode, we should be back to our usual nonsense by next recording.
