Episode 10 of "Say You To Yo Asobi Wednesday" aired on ABEMA at 10 p.m. on July 15.

The episode featured a special segment called "Tonight's Laid-Back Talk Special," packed with talk segments including hypothetical "What if..." scenarios and live phone calls with viewers, making for a lively night of chat.

The "30-Something Voice Actor Battle Royale" Begins!? The Fierce Battle of Signature Moves Is Won by the Voice Actor Wielding a "Rice Ball Made with Love"!

First up was the "What If" hypothetical talk corner. The topic: "If voice actors in their 30s fought in a battle royale... who would be the last one standing?" Looking over a list of voice actors in their 30s, Kensho Ono and Tasuku Hatanaka drew on what they knew of each person's personality to wage a heated battle of predictions over who would survive to the end.

When Ono asked Hatanaka if he was confident he'd survive, Hatanaka immediately answered, "I think I'd die right away." When Ono said, "(Tasuku) seems like the type who'd die protecting someone," Hatanaka imagined a dramatic scenario in which he dies shielding Miyu Irino, whom he considers his mentor.

Ono, meanwhile, set up a scenario in which he'd first fight against Daiki Yamashita, Toshiki Masuda, and Makoto Furukawa, who are all the same age as him. Amid the chaotic scene of Yamashita using "Plus Ultra," Ono using "Expecto Patronum," Masuda unleashing a "Direct Attack," and Furukawa delivering a "One Punch," he predicted the winner, saying, "In the end, One Punch wins! Furukawa wins!" The five voice actors ultimately assumed to survive were Ryota Osaka, Makoto Furukawa, Nobuhiko Okamoto, Kotaro Nishiyama, and Miyu Irino. As the strongest person to win this fierce battle, Ono and Hatanaka drew on a famous scene from a past work of Irino's in which he hands someone a rice ball, concluding that Irino would win by wielding a "rice ball made with love." The studio erupted in laughter at the unexpectedly peaceful punchline.
