    I loved that story. A monster goes forth to kill and maim, only to die at the hands of something mightier.

    Saw it coming but it was still super satisfying when the local cryptid saved his humans.

    Wow just wow. Unit 731, a living samurai and a lizard man like the one in Scape Ore Swamp!? This might b the best episode yet!

  • @Mallettt123
    @Mallettt123 2 года назад +8

    Wow, just wow. The idea of a successful axis infiltration of the continental United States is creepy enough in its own right, never mind a friggin Japanese super soldier for a change. But the icing on the cake was definitely the battle between Katsuro and the swamp beast. For once I’m cheering on the cryptid! Fantastic work as always!

    The one thing that seems constant in all these stories is conflict breeds strange bedfellows.

    And here we see the first Pacific Theater related episode! I’d love to see more episodes focused on the Pacific(although technically this is North Carolina and therefore on the opposite side of the continent lol).
    The Creature of Scape Ore Swamp type-lizard man was a pretty cool addition as well.

    @tomjackson4374 2 года назад +4

    That was an excellent story with enough of reference to real Japanese weapons to make you stop and think. The super sub, the medical research department and even the interaction between the sailors and the scientists have a ring of reality. Even the monster attack, I seem to remember a Japanese retreat through one of the island swamps where the soldiers were repeatedly attacked by man eating crocks reducing the number of survivors substantially. Just one small glitch, the excellent artwork of the interior of the car is a perfect reproduction of a 1955 Ford and I expect the story was set in 1945. The one small blemish in a masterpiece.

    Well, I just have to say....." That was Awesome!!!" OH man ! Thank you for a great and amazing masterpiece! My veteran brother is on hospice and really enjoys listening to these works of art. He doesn't have much time left but each of these stories makes him smile and I can't thank you guys enough. Keep up the great work it has made a difference.

    A alligator-like cryptid fighting an Imperial Japanese superhuman samurai in a swamp.
    26:00 _Me, knowing history like I do, and how well the Imperial Japanese fared in swamps in the Pacific theater against gator cousins, saltwater crocodiles, on Ramree Island._ "Oh, Katsuro, you are SO DEAD."

    @randomguardsman5554 2 года назад +29

    I think Katsuro would make for another excellent backstory candidate, seeing as the whole renaming thing and unit 731 (which mostly operated from northeast China being involved makes me think that he was Chinese before he was made into that superhuman samurai killing machine. Could be an good chance for a short set in the Japanese invasion of China, the mountains of China surely have something to offer in regards to cryptids or similar.

    This was a wild ride from start to finish. Not going to lie you had me in the first half. Japanese super soldier weapon sent on a mission to wreak havoc, ok. But Japanese super soldier vs swamp cryptid, I have no words. Just amazing, this is why I love this channel and it's content

    Guess this "Katsuro" is the Imperial Japanese answer and equivalent to the infamous yet hindsightfully necessary SPARTAN-II and SPARTAN-III programs. (And if anyone asks, DON'T TALK ABOUT THAT TV SERIES. *ahem* Please.)

    This is scary, not because of anything supernatural, but because Japan actually planned to do this.
    With some differences.
    Namely the weapon employed.

  • @navelaviator18
    @navelaviator18 2 года назад +3

    Love the story! I just wish I knew more about the characters... especially the swamp dragon-man. Makes me wonder if he's somehow tied to the girl in some way. How else would he just happen to be there when she needed him? Obviously he lives in that swamp but did the girl know that? Did she decide to go into the swamp to hopefully hide/get away or did she go there because she knew "swamp-thing" was in there and a friend? So many questions!

    Wow! Apex was certainly worth the wait! I really wasn’t expecting the swamp creature & I enjoyed the clash of the titans aspect of the fight between it & the samurai super soldier… also the fact that the human beings were just doing the best they could to survive! 😱
    I definitely agree that these stories would make great films.♥️♥️ Pull your finger out Netflix & call Simon! 👍🏻😉

    Ah, a full moon. Guess we can clarify the timeline of this event.
    And let me guess, this I-401 is so top secret it's not officially known in the present day (in this universe, at least)?
    Tenacious hedonists. Yes, that's us, all right, but I really hope we remove the majority of negative aspects from the latter these days, though.

  • @GabrielJCasaus
    @GabrielJCasaus 2 года назад +2

    I feel so bad I haven't seen this sooner. I love what you're doing but I'm a month late!
    Regardless, this was amazing. As soon as the scientists were revealed I guessed there was some human that was the "weapon" rather than a machine. Perfect example of Chekhov's gun.
    But I could never expect a lizard monster to emerge from the swamp! I almost thought maybe the bit about the coyotes was somebody had been killing them but now the samurai was closing in. Great way to hint at a swamp creature but giving some misdirection.
    I love the art, as always. Great designs for the samurai armor with an oni mask. I love the detailed interior of the police cruiser. I can't get over the shotgun mounted in the gun lock. A minor detail completely irrelevant to the story but nice to see its inclusion. The swamp monster is reminiscent of The Lizard from Marvel. Maybe there's a story to tell about the creature.
    Again, thank you for providing your stories to us. This is a contender for my favorite episode.

    I'm terribly late to this particular party and most of what I was moved to say after watching APEX has long since been stated below.
    But I must say, SIMON! THIS IS BRILLIANT, MATE. Masterfully structured and told. In just 34 minutes you have multiple characters, plots and subplots, and they all tie together by the end in a way worthy of a feature production. Add a bit more background and flesh out the main conflict a bit more and this could easily be a feature film.
    Also, I adored the monster fight! It has very Godzilla energy, I was reminded quite fondly of a miniature version of the old Toho films of the 60's and 70's.
    The obvious choice here would have been Bigfoot, with Dogman being a runner-up. But you went for a more obscure Carolinas cryptid, and I adored it.
    Looking forward to continuing to catch up as I can.
