oo I know nothing about Fairy Tail, is it power of friendship-y? I didn't get that vibe from the pictures I saw but obviously thats a poor way to judge lol
@@not_David Yes. It is basically all about power of Friendship. And it has ships......... though only occasionally the kind seen in One Piece ;) I should warn you that it's long, but compared to OP it is not.
What I'm getting from this video is that friendship depends on some time spent in proximity to each other. Yet, we've never spent any time together. I see how it is.
15:54 I take a break from working on my thesis proposal to watch a goofy anime video, and all of a sudden the video is about my thesis topic :0 Great video! That’s what I love about network science - asking how “things are related to other things” can reveal so many interesting similarities.
My thoughts: 0- Congrats for all the work ! 1- I'm surprised you did not picked Fairy Tail which is infamous for its power of friendship. 2- Also I'm pretty sure Zoro and Ace should share a connection (see the end of Alabasta) but I get why (the threshold). 3- I also see a big wich is "enemies". Let's say Luffy and Don Flamigo, according to the graph they should be good friends.... quite the opposite. 4- You should read Bleach, not watch nor drink it. 5- For the brain, what were the data? The cross "luminosity", the co-frequency, something else ?
Thanks for your thoughts! 0: Thank you :) 1: I didn't know anything about Fairy Tail but I've seen some people mention that as well, it's certainly much higher on my list now 2: Exactly, they don't show up together enough to get a link to pass the threshold 3: Yeah for sure. "Friends" here should probably be more like "are they aquiainted". Maybe this would be a first step to weed out all the connections to know who to focus on, but to get negative relations you'd need to go into the show most likely. That being said, in these shows the enemies do often turn out to be friends later on lol 4: Don't worry I always read the warning labels whenever handling Bleach 5: It was Blood Oxygen Level Dependant signals from fMRI, essentially just how oxygenated the blood is which is taken as a proxy for neural activity
Given that Bleach takes place over a relatively small selection of settings (sort of like Naruto and Dragon Ball) and the MC is a mix of every faction, the result sort of makes sense.
You have that backwards, Ichigo is only a "mix" because the point of the story is that Ichigo is the one person able to disrupt the status quo in a beneficial way, as balance in the world of bleach is very different from stagnation. That being said, yes. All factions in bleach have a connection to the others, bleach's world building is exceptional and extremely interconnected.
It's actually incredible how you achieved that I watched for 16 minutes without understanding anything, just until I got my educational part, thank you!🎉
@not_David It takes a bit of fortitude to get through the show, it's got Old Anime syndrome with the drawn out power up scenes and fights The TYBW is crazy 11/10
@@not_David I'd reccomend reading bleach until TYBW then watching from there. Being fully honest, I havent finished bleach yet because I dropped the anime a while ago during the Hueco Mundo arc as it just got tiresome. The manga however, is beautiful and much easier of a read than a watch.
@@not_David If you actually want the best Bleach you can get, you should read manga up to chapter 480 and then watch TYBW anime. Original anime changed a lot of scenes and some character so much that even Tite Kubo (mangaka) in some interview said that it gave him stomach ache and at some point he started demanding to be sent the scripts so he could check. In the TYBW anime adaptation Kubo basically part of the anime production staff where he checks everything and add some scenes that weren't in manga.
@@uuh4yj43yes. It was a find the degree 14 (due to the 14 episodes) of a superpermutation such that you'd watch every possible combination of episodes in a secuencial order. Before that we didn't have a good lower bound of the amount of elements needed to be included in the permutation. The anon showed that the smallest amount of episodes you needed to watch such that you could enjoy the melancholy of haruhi suzumiya was n! +(n-1)!+(n-2)!+n-3. Due to this, the problem for the lower bound was named the haruhi problem in honor to anon. It must be added that this lower bound is just that, a bound. It doesn't give you a way to actually generate the order of elements you need to produce the superpermutation Fun fact! The upper bound algorithm (in this case referring to a method to generate a superpermutation of some length) was found to be n! +(n-1)!+(n-2)!+(n-3)! +n-3 and was discovered by a sci-fi novelist (who so happens to also be a mathematician as a hobby). His name is Greg Egan and he has made a lot of hard sci-fi books thru history, including one called permutation city.
I always noticed that creators who are skilled in animation and video editing. Pick the most mundane topics and make a visually interesting video out of it. There is an animated video essay that just talks about gun reloads in games. A niche topic but the video quality and animation is top notch.
@@Fenhum I definitely didn't think so but apperently? That's okay, everyone who has watched it has been incredibly receptive to it so I am okay with that :) Besides, the YT algorithm works in wierd ways -- the Uhmms video sat at 3K views for a month before the algorithm got to it and then it took off in a week lol.
I made graphs for supports for a couple of Fire Emblem games, and they can be pretty cool to look at. You can sometimes see little 'factions' emerge in the various armies.
Oooh I've only played the FE on the gameboy advanced (I am old -_-) but I feel like FE would be a really good series to do that on. You should make a video on it if you havn't already, I'd love to see it!
I was under the impression that for JoJo - Season 1 is part 1 and 2 - Season 2 and 3 are both part 3 - Season 4 is part 4 - Season 5 is part 5 - Season 6 is part 6
8:17 there are 6 seasons of Jojo bizarre adventures, but the first season has both part 1 and 2, and part 3 is divided on 2 different seasons, and from there, each part had just one season
oh yeah for sure (though I've heard others argue there are more). But what I think is interesting is that the network agrees that part 1 and 2 should be classified as part of the same community, where as the splitting of part 3 into two seasons is a bit arbitrary (likely due to production) and that's also mirrored in the network as they are not split apart there.
@@not_David Probably because of how small Part I's roster is... just Erina and Speedwagon also appearing in Part II means a large percentage of part I characters are also part of the Part II cluster and almost all have links to members of the Part II cluster. Plus, since there are so few Part I episodes, people like Jonathan, Zepelli appearing in one or two flashbacks means a significant portion of their appearances are shared with the Part II cluster, making them also part of the part II cluster. That's my speculation without seeing the dataset itself.
Part 3 is not divided into two seasons, where have you seen that? Also, this is without even mentioning the last three parts don’t have an anime season yet.
@0-M72-0 I think that in English dub part 3 is in one season, but in other languages it's divided, because English Wikipedia says that there are 5 seasons, but Ukrainian (my native language) says that there are 6. I don't have any possible Idea why is it like that
@0-M72-0 its pretty clear that there is some division in part 3, as soon as they arrive in egypt the intro changes, a new member of the main group is introduced, the formula changes from tarot cards to being egyptian gods. Not only that but the two sections were released a year apart from one another, with the first half being from april to september in 2014 and the second being from january to june in 2015. The second half even has a title, "stardust crusaders battle in egypt".
Okay literally less than 2 mins out, and I’m crazy impressed and the data visualization here, I’ve never seen anything like it, as an anime fan that is about to get into data analysis. This is super inspiring. Yeahh I thought it was just eta visualization, but there’s a lot of data analysis here. I love this
Ok I feel like I want to elaborate, because just typing "production quality gud" is a bit cheap: Everything about this video feels perfect to me. The script is very well thought out, even with some of the jokes scrapped (tho I'd like to hear them if I'm being honest). The visuals are obviously amazing, the style is a very pleasant mix between clean/professional and a certain artistic quality that fits the character of the entire work very well and that I personally really like. The sound design, while often overlooked in educational videos, is absolutely on point in my opinion. The music is incorporated nicely while not being overwhelming. And most importantly, especially for hearing-impaired folks like me: I can understand every word you say. That's obviously at least partly due to you speaking very clear and with a pacing that's easily understood by even non-native speakers. But beyond that I feel like the way you edited your voice (with compression, eq and what have you) is perfect for this kind of educational content. I see (or rather hear) more and more content creators in recent years process their voice to such an extent that there's almost only bass left, which might fit the character of some radio shows but it makes for a very unpleasant hearing experience for people who have hearing loss in the higher frequencies (upward of 1-1.5kHz, which is pretty much everyone with hearing loss). Ok so now I've went on quite the rant, which wasn't really my intention but as this issue is very near and dear to my heart I wanted to express my appreciation of how you approach your production. Also there are actual not-auto-generated English subtitles, which I just now noticed because I didn't at all need them in order to be able to understand you :D That makes the entire accessibility thing even better. So yeah, kudos to you and I'm very excited to keep supporting you and your work!
Amazing comment, thank you :) I do take accessability very seriously and I'm still not perfect at it, but I do my best. I think non-auto generated subtitles are very important because I can add a bit of emphasis or something to carry the tone across even if someone can't hear a thing. There is room for improvement though (especially with all my spelling mistakes haha). Again though, thank you :)
7:27 I think for Dragon Ball it’s because there’s only like 3 characters that play a role in every part of Dragon Ball. Quick count is Goku, obviously, Krillin, and Bulma. There are arguments to be made for characters like Roshi, Yamcha, and Chi Chi, who appear in nearly every part of the series, but they end up not being important later on so their appearances are more treated like cameos. While shows like One Piece and Naruto create a cast that survive through each arc and do important things in each arc keeps their numbers higher.
hmm interesting. I noticed your example used only Dragon Ball characters but I do include DBZ, DBGT, DBS (daima came out after I did my analysis). Were you just using those as an example or do you think it extends generally?
@@not_DavidI was just using Dragon Ball characters because they are the only ones that appear in Dragon Ball, Z, and Super. People like Vegeta or Trunks don’t appear in the original Dragon Ball, it’s a backwards compatibility thing. Goku, Krillin, and Bulma go through the entire series more or less each acquiring the same connections, so they’re kinda treated like one character. If people like Yamcha and Tien kept up in fighting strength with Goku, I think it would be more like One Piece or Naruto, where they have a big team that are important the entire time. It’s like if Naruto’s characters like Rock Lee and Might Guy fall off in power and would’ve not been able to make any impact in the Ten Tails arc.
@@friggy1899 ahhh sorry yes I see now. Yeah I think that's probably not too far off the mark. For me my reasoning was, I think, somewhat similar in spirit. While Jojo is very explicitly seperated into parts, I think dragon ball does it too, and I think what you're saying is tied to that -- a lot characters are introduced but often not carried forward, which from a network point of view makes it very modular.
All this HQ content just for free? Man you completely achieved your goal with the video. I'm currently studying physics, but going through a confusion process on what to do later. This really makes me want to look further into it. Thanks!!
My simplistic thought about the small network factor would be the main character focus that results in a few constant noies which are always involved for most connections (read: episodes) - would be interesting so see how a random network behaves when introducing such largely consitent nodes and if it meaninfully changes type. Maybe the same with the brain regarding the left-right corpus callosum interconnect?
That's what I originally thought and wasn't even going to do the small worldness because I thought it would be trivial because of that. However, because of the math I did to make the friendshipscores between 0 and 1 (details in description), and then the cutoff threshold, its actually no longer true -- the main character is often not the most popular character in the show because of this. So theres something else that is driving the smallness of the network.
Amazing as usal! My favourite maths youtuber and 80k crossover was the best christmas present i could have gotten, an applied mathematician is long overdue on their podcast, hope this is them turning their heads towards that...
As someone who have watched and read all of this shows in its entirety, I can agree that Bleach does have a roster of characters that seems very connected to each other. One Piece and Naruto have a lot of new characters being introduced constantly and sometimes they never have the opportunity to form bonds together because of this. Dragon Ball also has a smaller roster of characters and many of them are familiar related, which might have helped with that. JoJo's is different because only a few characters return from one season to another.
Are you an Art director? Considering the title, I assumed this to be a nerdy stats or algorithm video. But the art in this video! It doesn't look like the nerdy stuff you talk about at all. Its soo so beautiful!!
The number of jojo anime seasons is very simple, it's 5, but some people just confuse seasons with parts. The narrative is divided into parts, the anime is released in seasons. The manga currently has 9 parts, the anime covers only 6. The first two parts were released in the same anime season, subsequent parts each have one dedicated season. There are 5 seasons. Ignore people who say otherwise.
Please do a follow up where you dive even deeper into the fun stuff since you went to all the trouble to gather all those data about the episodes in every character! The twist was really fun but I legit was sad that you weren't going to talk about the most fun clusters or connections you found in each, or trying to differentiate friends and enemies via some sort of faction tagging Anyway, loved the video!
Thank you! I was actually thinking of doing some indepth dives on a seperate channel (since as you said I already have them). I had a section in the video where I did do that but I felt it alienated people who didn't know the shows. Some of those things are possible, but the friends vs enemies thing is difficult. By which i mean, finding the 'sign' of a friendship is a genuinely difficult problem in social network analysis. Often it is very easy to find that there is a relationship but finding if its a positive or negative relationship is really difficult. I reckon i could also talk about that if I made a video like that.
@@not_David i mean, this video would alienate anyone who doesnt know the shows and doesnt follow you since you only get to the educational part in the last third. its not gonna be a perfect marriage, the weebs will not get the math stuff and the nerds might not get the weeb stuff.
Absolutely phenomenal video, super interesting and an engaging way to learn. I study mechanical engineering but your channel has inspired me to take a graph theory elective in my fourth year!
This is incredibly well made!! The production deserves the views and the likes along with more! Please keep this niche anime and scientific exploration video format going I think it’ll keep attracting a lot of people like me
Thank you! I probably won't be doing anything anime related any time soon as I like to mix up the content on this channel (as per all my previous videos) but I did did make some small follow up videos on this topic on my second channel (Actually Not David, name potentially changing lol), if you're interested
At one point in the history of the script I did do a more indepth dive into each network one by one but I felt it really would only make sense to viewers who knew the anime, where as I was trying to write this so it would be understandable even without having seen the shows. I was thinking of maybe going a bit more indepth into them on the second channel but we'll see if I have the time
Dude the production quality of this video was literally mind blowing! Well done! Also another anime that’s not super power of friendship is Code Geass, or death note
Wouldnt it make more sense to run the (non modularity) calculations for the communities aswell and then using the average of all those calculations as x and the calculation of the whole network as y and the final friendship score = modularity • x + (1-modularity) • y Feels like takes into account that very strong friendships might be present in a community but communities themselves might be more isolated from eachother. A handful of close friends is more powerful than a thousand acquaintances
I was thinking about doing something analogous to this. Or phrase differently -- should the score for jojo be the score for the whole network or the individual communities averaged together? My reasoning was that I wanted the 'power of friendship' to reflect the *anime*. Like if someone really likes 'power of friendship shows' and you know that the last season of a show has the most power of friendship you've ever seen, is it still a good recommendation for that person who would have to sit through a lot of 'non-power of firnedship' just to get to the good stuff? I don't think there is a right or wrong answer here, but I opted to treat the shows as a whole instead of as a sum of their parts.
Independant from your analysis: You should watch Bleach 🙂 Bleach has a relative big cast of main protagonists that spent a lot of time together (epsiodes), the bad boys build always groups and hang around, and there are not many one-time characters. I guess that is what shows in the graphs.
I do really want to. I watched it on YTV (canadian network) a long time ago, but when it got to about half way through the soul society arc towards the begining of the series YTV reset from the begining (they did this a lot I think to try to give time for more material to come out, they did it to inuyasha like 5 times). I do genuinely think Bleach has the coolest style of the 5 shows (aside from maybe jojo, or at least tied). The original OP was asthetically a huge inspiration for me in making this video (though then Dan Da Dan came out and the style pivoted more towards that lol).
@@not_David I would STRONGLY suggest you read the manga, the anime had a lot of weird changes at the beginning, cut a lot of character interactions and had a really strange direction at times. If you want to watch the TYBW anime I'd say go ahead when you get there.
Oh, this video was so delightful as always! I have to admit, some of the brain stuff is slightly beyond my reach, but the basis of it all was explained so clearly I am fairly sure I still got the gist (and man it really is incredibly interesting) And as usual, the editing and animation are absolutely top notch - I loved the comic book style effects you chose (and it's always fun to see a Persona 5 cut-in, hehe)
This is so cool. I genuinely think i would have done better in math class if I was taught the things I could do rather than rote memorization of formulas. I made sure I understood ratios and percentages because I knew where to use those things IRL. I've been talking with various people recently about education and social media and I just hope videos like this get out there and inspire kids to learn.
my favourite kind of comments because this was it exactly for me. I did super poorly in high school because of this but it wasn't until I got to uni where my profs showed me how super creative math/science can be. I try to take that with me when making these videos. Thank you :)
so what is the not David Power of Friendship index of the brain network? For note 1: One idea I have is to divide N by max(M1, M2) or min(M1, M2), where Mi is the number of episodes between the first episode that character i appeared and the latest episode of the show. However, that will result in an unequal treatment of one-off characters that appear later on in the show vs one-off characters that appear early on in the show, so it's probably not that great of an idea.
this is actually what I did originally! There are ways to augment it but inevitably I ran into the same problem -- when you have main characters (like naruto) that show up in the vast majority of the episodes, they just get connected to everyone, and especially with the intervals they end up getting really strong connections to people they met like 2 or 3 times.
Hi, it's me again, I still don't watch Anime. I found this video relatively easy to understand, but I'm still kind of a nerd, so take my opinion with a grain of salt
I'm a bit disappointed unless I'm misunderstanding there's no way to differentiate between enemies and friends who appear together in multiple episode, there are tons of episodes where enemies are in the same episode together, whether they be fighting, in different places, or in flashbacks they still appear together. Did I miss something? Also how do you feel about publish the data you used to make your networks? I'd like to replicate some of your results and perform some test of my own.
There is no way using this method, as far as I can tell. In this sense the networks are maybe less 'friendship' and more 'how well they know each other either negatively or positively'. This is definetly a downside of this method, but it's not a problem thats unique to this analysis. Getting the "sign" of a relationship is actually a major challange in "real world" social network analysis. But even if there was an easy way of getting it, interpreting it is also a challange. For example, the character Vegeta in dragon ball starts off very negative with the main cast, and then becomes positive as the series progresses - so which of those should we choose? Does it make sense to use a single value or should we look at them as functions of time (which in real world networks opens up an even bigger problem with getting that data)? Of course, just getting it even here would be difficult -- you'd essentially have to track every pair of characters and subjectively assign a positive or negative relationship score. That would be difficult, but not impossible in this context. But it would be very specific to this context, and in more general applications of network theory (e.g., to the brain) you couldn't do it this way.
oops sorry, I forgot to reply to your other question -- I am planning on putting the rasters and networks on github, most likely tomorrow. I'll put a link in the description but I'll send you a reply here once its up!
@@not_David Oh I see, without more data friend from foe cant be determined. Vegeta is an antagonist in his introduction and becomes an ally for short time than a friend if the only thing known is that they were in the same episode. Since DBZ is shonen and most shonen shows have fights maybe a graph determining who fights who would be help determine a friend from foe, but even with this additional data it wouldn't always work. Vegeta,Goku, and Picolo have all fought each other multiple times throughout the series as friend and foe. Finding out what makes someone a friend is interesting thing to think about, thank you. Oh and thank you for posting your data on github and giving me a link!
@@jetstreamsham4968 the git is linked in the description now! Sadly I wasnt able to upload one piece because it was too large, I'll have to see what I can do about that. The readme file should explain how I got from the rasters to the networks, but I've included both in the repo.
@@not_David seriously, the switch reveal gave me a small case of the goosebumps when I though this was where you were going, even if with a world of asterisks : p Great video btw, I like how you did a switcheroo but also delivered on the original promise.
objectively wrong jk, I like both but as I get older I find myself watching more while multitasking (especially making videos) and so having the dub lets me watch a show while still doing work and since then I've just grown to like dubs over subs.
Been studying Data engineering and I was struggling to find the "love" for it as I still can't connect the theory with actual projects and in real life use. You just showed me with a single video how it is possible and how it can be fun. Thank you :)
When you brought it up, I pent the next 5 minutes waiting to know what the longest chain of connections in one piece was, and maybe the longest chains in all the other shows. I'd still love to know! Also, absolutely phenomenal production quality on this. all your animations and graph presentations look great
yeah I didn't make it obvious that the the longest chain isn't unique. There are litterally tens of thousands of combinations of characters that give that, and almost all of them are like one-off characters so not particularly memorable either. I should have picked two as just an example though -_-
While anime is not my cup of tea, you consistently kept my attention with absolutely great visuals, interesting theory and good humor throughout. The sudden switch to the brain to show the applicability of network theory was a real treat. I love the videos, keep them coming!
Thank you :) Part of the reason this video took so long to make was because I wanted to make sure the script did not alienate people who havn't watched anime. I'm glad to see the effort worked for a lot of people.
Fantastic video. Very very well made. The topic it cool, the animations are well made, the jokes are super, the references makes me nostalgic, the integers shown with two decimal places precision are precise 🤷♂😂. I loved it. I might have to look up some network algorithms, the video made me think about how to do these computations not to think of doing them efficiently. 👍
Excellent video! Best introduction to complex networks and systems for otakus, it covered about 85% of my master's thesis hahaha I'll recommend it to my students if they like anime
the tiny shade thrown at bleach throughout the video is hilarious 😭 But as you said TYBW is really good! Hope you get to watch it some point. Thank you for educating me!
This video is so good what the hell Networks have been a fascination of mine for a little while and featured extensively in some personal projects of mine, but I've only ever actually covered network adjacent subjects in my education, so this stuff just tickles my brain endlessly. I could listen to you talk about networks all day :)
thanks so much :) I never had it pop up in my studies so when I was first introduced to it I was slightly intrigued but then someone soon after introduced me to a blog where the authour was trying to identify the main character of star wars using network theory and I was blown away. That blog inspired a lot of this video in fact (at least thematically).
@not_David aaand that's a Google search and a bookmark for some light reading later! Is it the one by Evelina Gabasova? Data science content is such a great niche on RUclips, and everyone once in a while a nerdy-ass video will absolutely blow up, and I know you've got the sauce. Keep it up! I'll be on your patreon :)
Yes the one by Evaline Gabasova, it was really good! I'd also recommend Networks an Introduction by Mark Newmann if you can find it. The first third of that book is a math-free look at some of the things networks can be used for. Its from the early 2000s but it inspired the youtube subcriber video I made. Then it goes into all the math of how to do all that stuff.
What are some ‘power of friendship’ shows (anime or non-anime) you can recommend me? I’m looking for things to watch to recover from making this video lol. EDIT: for those of you wondering, the power of friendship of the brain is 5.11. I am bummed I didn't think to calculate that in the video -_-

Given that Bleach takes place over a relatively small selection of settings (sort of like Naruto and Dragon Ball) and the MC is a mix of every faction, the result sort of makes sense.
You have that backwards, Ichigo is only a "mix" because the point of the story is that Ichigo is the one person able to disrupt the status quo in a beneficial way, as balance in the world of bleach is very different from stagnation.
That being said, yes. All factions in bleach have a connection to the others, bleach's world building is exceptional and extremely interconnected.

I will watch bleach! ... one day... I hear really good things about TYBW (and the animation looks amazing)
@not_David It takes a bit of fortitude to get through the show, it's got Old Anime syndrome with the drawn out power up scenes and fights
The TYBW is crazy 11/10
@@not_David I'd reccomend reading bleach until TYBW then watching from there. Being fully honest, I havent finished bleach yet because I dropped the anime a while ago during the Hueco Mundo arc as it just got tiresome. The manga however, is beautiful and much easier of a read than a watch.
@@not_David If you actually want the best Bleach you can get, you should read manga up to chapter 480 and then watch TYBW anime. Original anime changed a lot of scenes and some character so much that even Tite Kubo (mangaka) in some interview said that it gave him stomach ache and at some point he started demanding to be sent the scripts so he could check. In the TYBW anime adaptation Kubo basically part of the anime production staff where he checks everything and add some scenes that weren't in manga.
this reminds me of that one anon that solved a permutation problem due to an anime argument
I vaguely remember hearing about this... I need to look it up again...
@@not_David wasnt it about watch order of the endless eight episodes of the melancholy of suzumiya haruhi?
@@uuh4yj43yes. It was a find the degree 14 (due to the 14 episodes) of a superpermutation such that you'd watch every possible combination of episodes in a secuencial order. Before that we didn't have a good lower bound of the amount of elements needed to be included in the permutation.
The anon showed that the smallest amount of episodes you needed to watch such that you could enjoy the melancholy of haruhi suzumiya was n! +(n-1)!+(n-2)!+n-3. Due to this, the problem for the lower bound was named the haruhi problem in honor to anon. It must be added that this lower bound is just that, a bound. It doesn't give you a way to actually generate the order of elements you need to produce the superpermutation
Fun fact! The upper bound algorithm (in this case referring to a method to generate a superpermutation of some length) was found to be n! +(n-1)!+(n-2)!+(n-3)! +n-3 and was discovered by a sci-fi novelist (who so happens to also be a mathematician as a hobby). His name is Greg Egan and he has made a lot of hard sci-fi books thru history, including one called permutation city.
I always noticed that creators who are skilled in animation and video editing. Pick the most mundane topics and make a visually interesting video out of it.
There is an animated video essay that just talks about gun reloads in games. A niche topic but the video quality and animation is top notch.
This was beyond amazing.
Thanks so much! Right back at ya with your videos :)
today is indeed a great day to see a breakdown breakdown
Friendship is Witchcraft was not a reference i was expecting but by God I am here for it lmao
This video is criminally underrated. I wonder why it has little views?

@@not_David Is my reasoning accurate to the real data?😅
If so, we anime-science nerds might be a rare specimen.

1:45 thank you for that note, as the bleach fan in question i appreciate your sincerity
The note is appreciated because the 15 years of illiteracy and played out jokes are not even close to funny anymore lmao
@@wumbojetso sick of the jokes
I made graphs for supports for a couple of Fire Emblem games, and they can be pretty cool to look at. You can sometimes see little 'factions' emerge in the various armies.
Oooh I've only played the FE on the gameboy advanced (I am old -_-) but I feel like FE would be a really good series to do that on. You should make a video on it if you havn't already, I'd love to see it!
@not_David oh boy... videos are easy to watch but hard to make hahaha
@not_David GBA FE is best FE anyway.
You tricked me into learning about neuroscience using anime! Wow what a great video.
I was under the impression that for JoJo
- Season 1 is part 1 and 2
- Season 2 and 3 are both part 3
- Season 4 is part 4
- Season 5 is part 5
- Season 6 is part 6
8:17 there are 6 seasons of Jojo bizarre adventures, but the first season has both part 1 and 2, and part 3 is divided on 2 different seasons, and from there, each part had just one season
oh yeah for sure (though I've heard others argue there are more). But what I think is interesting is that the network agrees that part 1 and 2 should be classified as part of the same community, where as the splitting of part 3 into two seasons is a bit arbitrary (likely due to production) and that's also mirrored in the network as they are not split apart there.
@@not_David Probably because of how small Part I's roster is... just Erina and Speedwagon also appearing in Part II means a large percentage of part I characters are also part of the Part II cluster and almost all have links to members of the Part II cluster. Plus, since there are so few Part I episodes, people like Jonathan, Zepelli appearing in one or two flashbacks means a significant portion of their appearances are shared with the Part II cluster, making them also part of the part II cluster. That's my speculation without seeing the dataset itself.
Part 3 is not divided into two seasons, where have you seen that? Also, this is without even mentioning the last three parts don’t have an anime season yet.
@0-M72-0 I think that in English dub part 3 is in one season, but in other languages it's divided, because English Wikipedia says that there are 5 seasons, but Ukrainian (my native language) says that there are 6. I don't have any possible Idea why is it like that
@0-M72-0 its pretty clear that there is some division in part 3, as soon as they arrive in egypt the intro changes, a new member of the main group is introduced, the formula changes from tarot cards to being egyptian gods. Not only that but the two sections were released a year apart from one another, with the first half being from april to september in 2014 and the second being from january to june in 2015. The second half even has a title, "stardust crusaders battle in egypt".
Okay literally less than 2 mins out, and I’m crazy impressed and the data visualization here, I’ve never seen anything like it, as an anime fan that is about to get into data analysis. This is super inspiring.
Yeahh I thought it was just eta visualization, but there’s a lot of data analysis here. I love this
Your production quality is crazy, this video was so worth the wait! And also worth disobeying you and paying more for your Patreon :P
Ok I feel like I want to elaborate, because just typing "production quality gud" is a bit cheap:
Everything about this video feels perfect to me. The script is very well thought out, even with some of the jokes scrapped (tho I'd like to hear them if I'm being honest).
The visuals are obviously amazing, the style is a very pleasant mix between clean/professional and a certain artistic quality that fits the character of the entire work very well and that I personally really like.
The sound design, while often overlooked in educational videos, is absolutely on point in my opinion. The music is incorporated nicely while not being overwhelming. And most importantly, especially for hearing-impaired folks like me: I can understand every word you say. That's obviously at least partly due to you speaking very clear and with a pacing that's easily understood by even non-native speakers. But beyond that I feel like the way you edited your voice (with compression, eq and what have you) is perfect for this kind of educational content. I see (or rather hear) more and more content creators in recent years process their voice to such an extent that there's almost only bass left, which might fit the character of some radio shows but it makes for a very unpleasant hearing experience for people who have hearing loss in the higher frequencies (upward of 1-1.5kHz, which is pretty much everyone with hearing loss).
Ok so now I've went on quite the rant, which wasn't really my intention but as this issue is very near and dear to my heart I wanted to express my appreciation of how you approach your production. Also there are actual not-auto-generated English subtitles, which I just now noticed because I didn't at all need them in order to be able to understand you :D That makes the entire accessibility thing even better.
So yeah, kudos to you and I'm very excited to keep supporting you and your work!
Amazing comment, thank you :) I do take accessability very seriously and I'm still not perfect at it, but I do my best. I think non-auto generated subtitles are very important because I can add a bit of emphasis or something to carry the tone across even if someone can't hear a thing. There is room for improvement though (especially with all my spelling mistakes haha). Again though, thank you :)
@@not_David and here I thinking you couldn't get any more based
(I was wrong)
0:54 Is that a Jojo's reference?!
great video, now lets watch it!!! I love your videos man!!
Thank you, i hope it was worth the wait!
7:27 I think for Dragon Ball it’s because there’s only like 3 characters that play a role in every part of Dragon Ball. Quick count is Goku, obviously, Krillin, and Bulma. There are arguments to be made for characters like Roshi, Yamcha, and Chi Chi, who appear in nearly every part of the series, but they end up not being important later on so their appearances are more treated like cameos. While shows like One Piece and Naruto create a cast that survive through each arc and do important things in each arc keeps their numbers higher.
hmm interesting. I noticed your example used only Dragon Ball characters but I do include DBZ, DBGT, DBS (daima came out after I did my analysis). Were you just using those as an example or do you think it extends generally?
@@not_DavidI was just using Dragon Ball characters because they are the only ones that appear in Dragon Ball, Z, and Super. People like Vegeta or Trunks don’t appear in the original Dragon Ball, it’s a backwards compatibility thing. Goku, Krillin, and Bulma go through the entire series more or less each acquiring the same connections, so they’re kinda treated like one character. If people like Yamcha and Tien kept up in fighting strength with Goku, I think it would be more like One Piece or Naruto, where they have a big team that are important the entire time. It’s like if Naruto’s characters like Rock Lee and Might Guy fall off in power and would’ve not been able to make any impact in the Ten Tails arc.
@@friggy1899 ahhh sorry yes I see now. Yeah I think that's probably not too far off the mark. For me my reasoning was, I think, somewhat similar in spirit. While Jojo is very explicitly seperated into parts, I think dragon ball does it too, and I think what you're saying is tied to that -- a lot characters are introduced but often not carried forward, which from a network point of view makes it very modular.
Welcome back , "David. "
If that's even who you are, "David"
Lol
There is one thing he isn't and that's David look at his name smh
The new visualization look so good
All this HQ content just for free? Man you completely achieved your goal with the video. I'm currently studying physics, but going through a confusion process on what to do later. This really makes me want to look further into it. Thanks!!
My simplistic thought about the small network factor would be the main character focus that results in a few constant noies which are always involved for most connections (read: episodes) - would be interesting so see how a random network behaves when introducing such largely consitent nodes and if it meaninfully changes type. Maybe the same with the brain regarding the left-right corpus callosum interconnect?
That's what I originally thought and wasn't even going to do the small worldness because I thought it would be trivial because of that. However, because of the math I did to make the friendshipscores between 0 and 1 (details in description), and then the cutoff threshold, its actually no longer true -- the main character is often not the most popular character in the show because of this. So theres something else that is driving the smallness of the network.
I definitely subscribed after seeing this. The fact that you like One Piece AND also know that Josuke is best boy means you are big brain intelligent.
BRUH NO SHOT YOU HAVE IMPOSTER SYNDROME. You have some of the highest quality vids. You are underrated. I'm shellshocked
Thank you for the very kind words lol :)
Amazing as usal! My favourite maths youtuber and 80k crossover was the best christmas present i could have gotten, an applied mathematician is long overdue on their podcast, hope this is them turning their heads towards that...
Thank you haha :) I appriciate the kind words
Such a gem of a channel to find through my anime addiction!
Was beginning to crash out over the bleach hate until the note thank you for that😂
6:57 Talk about eye candy.
that should have been the thumbnail lol
biggest plot twist of the video tbh
@@not_Davidhow do I make my house look like that
As someone who have watched and read all of this shows in its entirety, I can agree that Bleach does have a roster of characters that seems very connected to each other. One Piece and Naruto have a lot of new characters being introduced constantly and sometimes they never have the opportunity to form bonds together because of this. Dragon Ball also has a smaller roster of characters and many of them are familiar related, which might have helped with that. JoJo's is different because only a few characters return from one season to another.
Are you an Art director? Considering the title, I assumed this to be a nerdy stats or algorithm video. But the art in this video! It doesn't look like the nerdy stuff you talk about at all. Its soo so beautiful!!
19:25 guy really went "quantum entanglement, quantum Schrodinger theory, quantum temporal anti-negentropy."
awesome video i can tell how much effort went into it, it deserves so many more views
The network guy is back!
My God, what a well-made video, congratulations on all the work, it was great
Thank you :)
The number of jojo anime seasons is very simple, it's 5, but some people just confuse seasons with parts. The narrative is divided into parts, the anime is released in seasons. The manga currently has 9 parts, the anime covers only 6. The first two parts were released in the same anime season, subsequent parts each have one dedicated season. There are 5 seasons. Ignore people who say otherwise.
God bless, random weeb on the internet
Thank you very much for the detailed description box! Highly appreciate the work that is put into it (and espacially the sources incl. Music).
Thank you! I spend maybe too long writing those sometimes and its nice seeing people going into them and reading it haha
I *NEED* to know who are on the thickness of jojo
Amazing video, great quality and production thanks for making me learn something new today!
Please do a follow up where you dive even deeper into the fun stuff since you went to all the trouble to gather all those data about the episodes in every character!
The twist was really fun but I legit was sad that you weren't going to talk about the most fun clusters or connections you found in each, or trying to differentiate friends and enemies via some sort of faction tagging
Anyway, loved the video!
Thank you! I was actually thinking of doing some indepth dives on a seperate channel (since as you said I already have them). I had a section in the video where I did do that but I felt it alienated people who didn't know the shows.
Some of those things are possible, but the friends vs enemies thing is difficult. By which i mean, finding the 'sign' of a friendship is a genuinely difficult problem in social network analysis. Often it is very easy to find that there is a relationship but finding if its a positive or negative relationship is really difficult. I reckon i could also talk about that if I made a video like that.
@@not_David i mean, this video would alienate anyone who doesnt know the shows and doesnt follow you since you only get to the educational part in the last third. its not gonna be a perfect marriage, the weebs will not get the math stuff and the nerds might not get the weeb stuff.
i remember studying gene transcription networks in college and it was so cool, glad you reminded me how awesome biochemical computer science is!
yay! not david is back
the video quality is insanely good brother, the content as usual top notch. loved every second
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Absolutely phenomenal video, super interesting and an engaging way to learn. I study mechanical engineering but your channel has inspired me to take a graph theory elective in my fourth year!
That's such a nice comment, thank you I am honoured :)
Every time you post it's a masterpiece! Impressive!
That is very kind of you, thank you :)
This is incredibly well made!! The production deserves the views and the likes along with more! Please keep this niche anime and scientific exploration video format going I think it’ll keep attracting a lot of people like me
Thank you! I probably won't be doing anything anime related any time soon as I like to mix up the content on this channel (as per all my previous videos) but I did did make some small follow up videos on this topic on my second channel (Actually Not David, name potentially changing lol), if you're interested
I'm kinda sad I didn't get to explore those network a bit more.
Like,.I'm curious of the results.
At one point in the history of the script I did do a more indepth dive into each network one by one but I felt it really would only make sense to viewers who knew the anime, where as I was trying to write this so it would be understandable even without having seen the shows. I was thinking of maybe going a bit more indepth into them on the second channel but we'll see if I have the time
Bro causally makes one of the highest production quality videos that is interesting and educational
I love this channel bro
Dude the production quality of this video was literally mind blowing! Well done! Also another anime that’s not super power of friendship is Code Geass, or death note
nice video, apple juice is better than orange juice the people have spoken
excuse me but if you check the poll, orange juice is like 3 pixels ahead of apple juice.
Your editing is god tier
Wouldnt it make more sense to run the (non modularity) calculations for the communities aswell and then using the average of all those calculations as x and the calculation of the whole network as y and the final friendship score = modularity • x + (1-modularity) • y
Feels like takes into account that very strong friendships might be present in a community but communities themselves might be more isolated from eachother. A handful of close friends is more powerful than a thousand acquaintances
I was thinking about doing something analogous to this. Or phrase differently -- should the score for jojo be the score for the whole network or the individual communities averaged together? My reasoning was that I wanted the 'power of friendship' to reflect the *anime*. Like if someone really likes 'power of friendship shows' and you know that the last season of a show has the most power of friendship you've ever seen, is it still a good recommendation for that person who would have to sit through a lot of 'non-power of firnedship' just to get to the good stuff? I don't think there is a right or wrong answer here, but I opted to treat the shows as a whole instead of as a sum of their parts.
Amazing video! It reminded me of the neuroscience classes I took in college, but with a much more interesting approach. Kudos for you!
I didnt even know I was subscribed to you!
this is such a high quality video! you're a great speaker
21:22 he is not a racoon >:(
Haha, so funny seeing these concepts I saw in college in the anime context. Congrats on the work!!!
Independant from your analysis: You should watch Bleach 🙂
Bleach has a relative big cast of main protagonists that spent a lot of time together (epsiodes), the bad boys build always groups and hang around, and there are not many one-time characters. I guess that is what shows in the graphs.
I do really want to. I watched it on YTV (canadian network) a long time ago, but when it got to about half way through the soul society arc towards the begining of the series YTV reset from the begining (they did this a lot I think to try to give time for more material to come out, they did it to inuyasha like 5 times). I do genuinely think Bleach has the coolest style of the 5 shows (aside from maybe jojo, or at least tied). The original OP was asthetically a huge inspiration for me in making this video (though then Dan Da Dan came out and the style pivoted more towards that lol).
@@not_David I would STRONGLY suggest you read the manga, the anime had a lot of weird changes at the beginning, cut a lot of character interactions and had a really strange direction at times. If you want to watch the TYBW anime I'd say go ahead when you get there.
Oh, this video was so delightful as always! I have to admit, some of the brain stuff is slightly beyond my reach, but the basis of it all was explained so clearly I am fairly sure I still got the gist (and man it really is incredibly interesting)
And as usual, the editing and animation are absolutely top notch - I loved the comic book style effects you chose (and it's always fun to see a Persona 5 cut-in, hehe)
Those are very kind words, thank you :)
I don't even watch anime, came for the cool node graph-ics and was blown away by the neuroscience section. Really high quality work!! Do keep it up
haha thank you :) I'm glad people are enjoying that section
This is a very amusing and informative video so thank you!
This is so cool. I genuinely think i would have done better in math class if I was taught the things I could do rather than rote memorization of formulas. I made sure I understood ratios and percentages because I knew where to use those things IRL. I've been talking with various people recently about education and social media and I just hope videos like this get out there and inspire kids to learn.
my favourite kind of comments because this was it exactly for me. I did super poorly in high school because of this but it wasn't until I got to uni where my profs showed me how super creative math/science can be. I try to take that with me when making these videos. Thank you :)
This video is incredible! Entertaining and educational. Great job
so what is the not David Power of Friendship index of the brain network?
For note 1: One idea I have is to divide N by max(M1, M2) or min(M1, M2), where Mi is the number of episodes between the first episode that character i appeared and the latest episode of the show. However, that will result in an unequal treatment of one-off characters that appear later on in the show vs one-off characters that appear early on in the show, so it's probably not that great of an idea.
this is actually what I did originally! There are ways to augment it but inevitably I ran into the same problem -- when you have main characters (like naruto) that show up in the vast majority of the episodes, they just get connected to everyone, and especially with the intervals they end up getting really strong connections to people they met like 2 or 3 times.
Genius video my man, I'm such a fan of neurology and I wanted to just shut off and build my mecha and then this golden video, best of the year ;P
beautiful comment :')
Hi, it's me again, I still don't watch Anime. I found this video relatively easy to understand, but I'm still kind of a nerd, so take my opinion with a grain of salt
Thank you for letting me know :)
What a stunning video. Thank you for all the effort in making this. It was so so so well done.
Thank you for the kind words :)
Wow this video is a masterpiece 🔥
It's amazing that videos like this are available for free!

the quality of editing is insane. great video
How dare you insult apple juice, it's far superior to orange juice
lets agree to disagree ... that apple juice is superior
❌️ *loud incorrect buzzer* Sorry bro but you're so wrong
Apple juice sparks joy. Orange juice does not spark joy (unless freshly pressed and ice cold, then it is only a little worse than apple juice)
Sorry to say, but only children drink apple juice (orange juice mogs apple juice)
Try drinking orange juice just before or after brushing your teeth with toothpaste.
Amazing video. This is somehow the exact video I was looking for
I'm a bit disappointed unless I'm misunderstanding there's no way to differentiate between enemies and friends who appear together in multiple episode, there are tons of episodes where enemies are in the same episode together, whether they be fighting, in different places, or in flashbacks they still appear together. Did I miss something? Also how do you feel about publish the data you used to make your networks? I'd like to replicate some of your results and perform some test of my own.
There is no way using this method, as far as I can tell. In this sense the networks are maybe less 'friendship' and more 'how well they know each other either negatively or positively'. This is definetly a downside of this method, but it's not a problem thats unique to this analysis. Getting the "sign" of a relationship is actually a major challange in "real world" social network analysis. But even if there was an easy way of getting it, interpreting it is also a challange. For example, the character Vegeta in dragon ball starts off very negative with the main cast, and then becomes positive as the series progresses - so which of those should we choose? Does it make sense to use a single value or should we look at them as functions of time (which in real world networks opens up an even bigger problem with getting that data)?
Of course, just getting it even here would be difficult -- you'd essentially have to track every pair of characters and subjectively assign a positive or negative relationship score. That would be difficult, but not impossible in this context. But it would be very specific to this context, and in more general applications of network theory (e.g., to the brain) you couldn't do it this way.
oops sorry, I forgot to reply to your other question -- I am planning on putting the rasters and networks on github, most likely tomorrow. I'll put a link in the description but I'll send you a reply here once its up!
@@not_David Oh I see, without more data friend from foe cant be determined. Vegeta is an antagonist in his introduction and becomes an ally for short time than a friend if the only thing known is that they were in the same episode. Since DBZ is shonen and most shonen shows have fights maybe a graph determining who fights who would be help determine a friend from foe, but even with this additional data it wouldn't always work. Vegeta,Goku, and Picolo have all fought each other multiple times throughout the series as friend and foe. Finding out what makes someone a friend is interesting thing to think about, thank you. Oh and thank you for posting your data on github and giving me a link!
@@jetstreamsham4968 the git is linked in the description now! Sadly I wasnt able to upload one piece because it was too large, I'll have to see what I can do about that. The readme file should explain how I got from the rasters to the networks, but I've included both in the repo.

Been studying Data engineering and I was struggling to find the "love" for it as I still can't connect the theory with actual projects and in real life use. You just showed me with a single video how it is possible and how it can be fun. Thank you :)
a very lovely comment, thank you :')
When you brought it up, I pent the next 5 minutes waiting to know what the longest chain of connections in one piece was, and maybe the longest chains in all the other shows. I'd still love to know!
Also, absolutely phenomenal production quality on this. all your animations and graph presentations look great
yeah I didn't make it obvious that the the longest chain isn't unique. There are litterally tens of thousands of combinations of characters that give that, and almost all of them are like one-off characters so not particularly memorable either. I should have picked two as just an example though -_-
Thank you for uploading captions at the same time :) I truly appreciate it
Watching the video, I'm sure it'll be great, keep up the good work 👍
Thank you :) I hope you enjoy it
@not_David great video 😄 thank you for your hard work. as always, the visuals are amazing
I have no idea where algorithm found this video but this is the perfect amount of niche learning mixed with anime to be amazing. Subscribe
your editing style is so damn mesmerizing man
really great stuff. thanks for making this.
While anime is not my cup of tea, you consistently kept my attention with absolutely great visuals, interesting theory and good humor throughout. The sudden switch to the brain to show the applicability of network theory was a real treat. I love the videos, keep them coming!
Thank you :) Part of the reason this video took so long to make was because I wanted to make sure the script did not alienate people who havn't watched anime. I'm glad to see the effort worked for a lot of people.
I love how the video is really educational but so well disgused with the anime theme, amazing work!
this is an absolute banger video, gonna leave a comment hoping it boosts this to the algorithm, more ppl needa see this
very kind words :) thank you
Fantastic video. Very very well made. The topic it cool, the animations are well made, the jokes are super, the references makes me nostalgic, the integers shown with two decimal places precision are precise 🤷♂😂. I loved it. I might have to look up some network algorithms, the video made me think about how to do these computations not to think of doing them efficiently. 👍
Haven’t even really started the video yet, I’m like 1min in. But I gotta say the video style is absolutely amazing
Excellent video! Best introduction to complex networks and systems for otakus, it covered about 85% of my master's thesis hahaha I'll recommend it to my students if they like anime
the tiny shade thrown at bleach throughout the video is hilarious 😭 But as you said TYBW is really good! Hope you get to watch it some point. Thank you for educating me!
This video is so good what the hell
Networks have been a fascination of mine for a little while and featured extensively in some personal projects of mine, but I've only ever actually covered network adjacent subjects in my education, so this stuff just tickles my brain endlessly. I could listen to you talk about networks all day :)
thanks so much :) I never had it pop up in my studies so when I was first introduced to it I was slightly intrigued but then someone soon after introduced me to a blog where the authour was trying to identify the main character of star wars using network theory and I was blown away. That blog inspired a lot of this video in fact (at least thematically).
@not_David aaand that's a Google search and a bookmark for some light reading later! Is it the one by Evelina Gabasova?
Data science content is such a great niche on RUclips, and everyone once in a while a nerdy-ass video will absolutely blow up, and I know you've got the sauce. Keep it up! I'll be on your patreon :)
Yes the one by Evaline Gabasova, it was really good! I'd also recommend Networks an Introduction by Mark Newmann if you can find it. The first third of that book is a math-free look at some of the things networks can be used for. Its from the early 2000s but it inspired the youtube subcriber video I made. Then it goes into all the math of how to do all that stuff.
Really cool video man, great job all around!
thank you :)
