What happens to a generation of American kids raised entirely on Japanese media once they're old enough to actually go there? Egan Robinson thinks we're carrying a \"Japanese seed\" inside us planted by Dragon Ball Z, Pokémon, and PlayStation and after three months living in Osaka, he came back convinced it's more real than a joke. We get into why nostalgia for a country you've never lived in might not be nostalgia at all, and why the conversation ends up somewhere near raw milk, seed oils, AI as modern-day demons, and the book series getting men reading again. This is a recap episode, a travel diary, and a two hour rabbit hole into why some people find a piece of themselves in a country they weren't born into.
