Namikawa & Hanae vs. Yoshiaki Yamamoto from "QuizKnock," Fast-Paced Quiz Battle Begins!

In the Thursday regular segment "Collect the Wish Orbs! Namikawa & Hanae 2024," where collecting seven orbs grants a wish, the Namikawa & Hanae duo challenges "Ironmen" in various genres. Previously, they defeated the world champion of Othello. Now, their final battle for the seventh "Wish Orb" was against the "Ironman" of fast-paced quizzes. They welcomed Yoshiaki Yamamoto from "QuizKnock," a knowledge group originating from the University of Tokyo that not only appears on quiz shows but also handles puzzle and quiz creation and supervision, to engage in a fast-paced quiz showdown.

This time, it's a 2-on-1 match between the Namikawa & Hanae team and Yamamoto. Questions cover genres such as sports, society, literature, and history, as well as categories that favor the Namikawa & Hanae team, like anime & manga, games, and nightlife. Each correct answer earns a point.

"Are you sure you can handle a 2-on-1? That's double the brainpower!" the two of them confidently taunt. In response, Yamamoto retorts, "I basically don't lose at quizzes," and "How many years do you think I've been doing quizzes?" Both sides are already sparking off against each other before the start.

As the battle kicks off, Namikawa, who had been relying on Hanae in previous matches, finally awakens at the last moment. When the first question is asked, "What do you call it when you score three goals in a soccer match?" Namikawa presses the button first and answers correctly, surprisingly taking the lead against the quiz king. The two exclaim with joy, "Ohhhh!" "Yes! We got it!" However, this only ignites Yamamoto, who then scores consecutive points. The speed leaves the two unable to keep up, and they are left in awe, saying, "The speed is insane!" "So fast," "Scary!"
