Young Jump's bizarre comedy manga "Snack Bar Basue," which has been plagued by complaints that it would never be adapted into an anime, has finally been adapted and will begin airing in January 2024! The storyline is a humorous poker game about the kinds of topics you might encounter at a run-down bar, but the jokes and tsukkomi might be a little too quirky for everyday use! However, we've compiled a ranking of Basue's best jokes and tsukkomi that you might find useful tomorrow!
Ranking #20: Killing!!!
This is the scene where the hostess, Akemi, kills the bar owner, Basue, with a bottle. I think it's good to use this when you witness someone killing someone with a beer bottle. Basue, however, is not dead.
Ranking #19: You're Lack of Impact!
Yamada's comment after seeing Akemi's absurd and outrageous joke. However, Yamada couldn't make a comment because the mother who was beaten to death next to him and left a dying message left a stronger impact no matter how you look at it. I think it's good to use this when you're losing impact.
Ranking #18: Isn't there any compassion?
This is a line from a robber who came to Basue. Desperate for life, he turns to robbery, but after being persuaded by the staff at a bar, he reforms and tries to leave. However, the police were notified. There are many photoshopped images circulating online of Morita saying the line from Jujutsu Kaisen, "Don't you have a heart?", but he never actually said it.
Ranking #17: I'll never team up with you...!
Akemi's response to Morita's "Woman's Enemy" line, "But a woman's enemy is another woman, right? I'm the enemy of a woman's enemy... so in a way, I'm an ally...!" This comment from Akemi can be used to assert that you absolutely don't want to join forces with someone, even if it means becoming the enemy of your enemy.
Ranking #16: Am I the type to be evaluated posthumously?
When Morita laments that he has nothing to brag about or be praised for, Akemi reassures him that there is at least one thing he should be praised for. When asked, "For example?", Akemi responds by saying that he has expressed his intention to donate his organs...! Akemi then chides him for his lame response.
Ranking #15: To begin with, we are just answer sheets with no names written on them...!
Akemi was a girl who completely relied on the starting point system, not the point-adding system. Morita developed a positive mindset, believing that while a zero would be a zero under the point-adding system, the starting point system means she has a chance. However, Tatsu scolds Morita, saying, "In the first place, we're just answer sheets with no names written on them...!"
Ranking #14: You understand me well, but you don't understand a girl's heart!!
Before giving Morita obligatory chocolates, Akemi reminds him that she didn't receive any gifts in return on White Day last year. Morita immediately pulls out a 10,000 yen bill. When Morita points out, "Why?! You love money, don't you?", Akemi responds with this line. It could be used as a construction: "You're ____, but you're not ____!!"
Ranking #13: This is as annoying as a soccer player who exaggerates his pain to draw a foul!
This is what Akemi said to Amuro when he came to the bar and was punched by Bright. Pretending to be in pain when it actually hurts is considered a foul, but since soccer is a sport with a lot of contact and injuries, it's actually quite important to have the foul properly called. This is what I want to say to people who exaggerate their pain in real life.
Ranking #12: Stupid Remarks! Stupid Matryoshka Doll!
Akemi claims that she intentionally does stupid things and makes vulgar jokes because she's a bar hostess. Koame responds to Akemi's silly comment, "Oh dear... pretending to be an idiot... must be pretty tiring...!" with this comment. It might be a good thing to say to someone pretending to be an idiot.
Ranking #11: I was a bully...!
No matter how you look at it, Morita only appears to have been the victim of bullying as a child, but in fact he was the bully himself. His main habit was picking up girls' erasers to make them cry, or sitting next to them after a seat swap to make them cry. If he had the opportunity to use this technique in real life, perhaps the people around him would become kinder.
Ranking #10: The Worst Bully's Game!!
Due to Akemi's recent vulgar jokes being quite outrageous, the team introduced a system requiring a 100 yen donation for each vulgar joke. However, Akemi still couldn't stop, so they began to think about how to stop the vulgar jokes. Tatsu's clever idea was a tsukkomi (comic retort) to a bully's suggestion that if he told a dirty joke, he'd have to confess his feelings to Morita as a punishment...
Ranking #9: Parading through a slum with a discriminatory sign hanging from his arm...
Morita suggested that confessing was a bit too much, and asked for a milder punishment, so this is the new one I came up with. In Die Hard 3, there's a scene where the main character walks through a slum with a discriminatory sign hanging from his arm, but this was because he was forced to do so by the terrorists.
Ranking #8: On the contrary, she has a strong sense of responsibility♡
Akemi and her mother ask for advice about a love affair between people of different social classes. In the end, Akemi says that while she's asking for advice, she's already decided on her own answer and just wants someone to support her feelings. However, she bluntly replies, "That's neither affirmative nor negative; I don't want to interfere and take even a millimeter of responsibility, so I'm telling her to do as she pleases!" Her response:
Ranking #7: Don't you love seeing the moment when someone loses something?
Akemi says, "Watch me as I spin the gacha in a smartphone game." Yamada, not really wanting to watch, simply replies, "Why?" That's what Yamada said to her. There seems to be a certain number of people who enjoy watching videos of failed gacha attempts on YouTube. And they tend to give videos of lucky hits a low rating.
Ranking #6: Bringing online opinions into the real world would only lead to violence!!
Isn't there something else I'd rather spend money on gacha...? Akemi's words echo a common online comment. However, spending money on gacha tends to make you more open-minded than buying something that leaves you with something real. When online opinions are brought into the real world, you have to be prepared for violence.
Ranking #5: Isn't reality just too real, like a crappy game...?
Recently, more and more games have become so realistic that they seem almost real, and Yamada likes them. However, he doesn't want to play real-life games like farming. The reason is that real-life games are crap, with impossible quotas and too many irreversible elements that make it impossible to quit. I think many people can relate to this.
Ranking #4: If you get addicted to masturbating...it's a huge waste of time and money...!!
Morita abstains from masturbation partly to refresh his mind and body, but above all, he claims that it's a terrible waste of time and money. This is so true that it could easily be a conversation between two men.
Ranking #3: I feel like I defeated someone who looks like me in Yakuza...
This is what I said to my brother Tatsu when he asked me if I looked like someone. I'm sure there's at least one person around you who looks like a minor character from Yakuza. Surprisingly, this might be true for everyone.
Ranking #2: Akemi has emotions, but is she heartless?
Morita, who had a miserable youth and now spends his life logging into work and turning everything into garbage in gacha machines, has lost all emotion. Akemi tells him that a constantly smiling ugly guy is better than a sullen one. However, when Morita smiles, she is told that this is also creepy, to which Morita responds, "Don't you have a heart?"
Ranked #1 because they're aiming for an anime adaptation...!! It's been three years and there's no sign of it happening...!!
And yet, three years later, it was decided that the series would be adapted into an anime. Indeed, Basue, one of Young Jump's oldest works, has finally been adapted into an anime. Congratulations!
