Most petty father on Earth

Comments

Commenting to tell you about a small victory. I was clearing out data on my phone and went into my deleted messages tab, in there I found an old voicemail message of my grandparents on my mother’s side singing me happy birthday. A tradition they did for all family members who they could meet face to face every single year. This message is 2 1/2 years old. I have no idea how it’s still there but I now have the recording saved and I now I can listen to at least 2 voices of people I have lost anytime I please. Small victories truly have the greatest value.

Bro beat his ass for 40 years straight 😂

General Grevious

i think he gave up because for the first time after decades, the son in law finally asked for one adjustment. it was a "whoever gives up first is gay type" of petty. after hearing the adjustment, the dad realised this dude wont give up ever

baja

Seeing Lupa crying and those messages made me wanna tear up too ong. I just dont know why i cant JJSJSJ

Juancina

dad was definitely petty af and the ending was really sweet, showing people's photographs

Nicole Guerrero

Petty af I got so mad

BornUnMotivated

Father in law also approved of the other guy because he came from a martial arts family, while Si Wen was a city kid. Dad so old school he's speaking in a completely different language than Si Wen (as another commentor noted, Ou Yang's dad is speaking in Cantonese. I noticed his language was different because I grew up learning Mandarin and I couldn't understand a word this old Sifu was saying)

If a show can make lupa cry, that means the show is good

danial

Thank you for those kind words.

They will be with you regardless of photos or not. People in the 1500s had no photos, but I've no doubt they cherished one another. Forgetting isn't a terrible thing, though it most certainly isn't desirable, it's the natural course of one's life. You and they will be in each other's thoughts and hearts beyond eternity and time. Never forget that.

TheDroppedFry

Yea... That Ed for the episode was really awesome.

NovaVortex

So there's been more murders after Emma? Feel like we just skipped right over that part lol

ViralCorgi

I can't remember where I read it but I recall it saying how it was based on a true story about a man who spent years trying to get the approval of the father of the woman he loved & had children with.

Holly Mai9

Wait, really?

Merfhew

I was wondering about that, too.

Merfhew

…..some lessons are learned too late. I’ve just turned 30 this past April of 2024 and I have always lived my life in the moment. Focused on the present; never sparing a thought for the future. Because of this I’ve taken very few pictures…..watching this has made me wish I’d taken more. Time marching on without us bringing change whether we want it or not. After 30 years of living I’ve lost 3/4 of my grandparents, my father, and 2 of my uncles on my dad’s side, 2 dogs, and a few friends. And I don’t own a single photo of any of them. ….and I starting to forget what their faces looked like…..and that terrifies me.

StorySmith []

yeah that guy should've just said married her period. he just wanted it that way but yeah lupa i teared up too at the end..totally off guard of me

yoongi

I don’t think the father was that bad. He said “my grandchildren can even beat me” meaning he has a relationship with his grandchildren and she’s still there next to him so she isn’t banished. He seemed to even stop looking for other people and kept giving him a chance for 50 years. I’m pretty sure he gave in because he saw even if he is literally physically incapable of winning he’ll keep trying till he old. Actually very wholesome

Derek Sanders

This episode is based on a true story.

Holly Mai9

“That’s a diabolical way to eat a popsicle” Sheera 🤣

Clinton Vance

But Cantonese is the most popular dialect tho.(ion count Mandarin as one cuz it's the "main" language)

JacksOnion Lee

I can explain why he approved so this is cannon, the dad was tired of having to stand around all day waiting for this old man to walk up all those dam stairs. The dad just did not want to wait around in the sun all day. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Shiroja

Bro I miss G Gundam mite watch out after I finish Ajin

Jonathan Sessoms

Welp I forgot this is connected to the other episodes especially the key words that was said by Qiao but not trying to spoil it they didn’t catch it cause how wholesome this show can be welp it almost time almost time indeed lol

Jonathan Sessoms

A fuckin flashbang in the hand was hilarious😂😂😂 nice one Sheera

Olpop

Cheng Xiaoshi also literally tried to grab Sifu by the nuts, only to get two pieced by a Shining Finger and Burning finger. Loved Roshi dropping the G Gundam reference. Best underrated Gundam (because it's more Dragon Ball than Gundam)

J Man

You're right about that. But I do see the timing, as the starting next arc includes Cheng Xiaoshi (and Qiao Ling) getting a new "power" that carries him throughout this Season as well as heavily in Season 2. I unfortunately watched 5.5 after I finished this season and was confused at who this Siwen Sifu guy was and why he was so important to Xiaoshi outta nowhere. What's ironic is most of Season 1 is standalone episodic, while this OVA side story ends up influencing the rest of the story from this point forward because of the introduction of Gung Fu as an important aspect of the series

J Man

The alternative ending theme really helped make the ending photos of people keeping memories through photos really helped add emotion to the credits of this episode. You can even tell that it helped get the scene to hit Lupa harder

J Man

Being half black, Cantonese always confused me. Like why is there this different language, with twice the words due to there being 9 tones as opposed to the Mandarin 5. And 85% of the words are completely different. I always wondered how there are so many people who can speak both easily (and I would notably see that when my mom would take me with her when she played mahjong with the aunties). My mom in particular knows Mandarin, Fuzhou, Teochew, and a little bit of Hakka. I applaud those who seamlessly pick up multiple different Chinese languages

J Man

So true, he beat the age out of him. Ironically he's a Sifu, and in Sifu the game you can get the age beaten out of you.

J Man

Because he wasn't getting beaten half to death once a year!

chaosdreamer

Father was standing on business for 50 years and then is like Bet you got it lol

Reckless Company

Watching the last two episodes back to back was not smart of me cause god that was depressing

Sham3ful

Yeah the Sifu is speaking Cantonese. They seem to have people with different dialect voice for the show. Last episode the client mum has a bit of a China countryside accent which is cool as it fits the story.

p.m

Wait they had Nokia fifty years ago ? In which years is happening the anime v

zacharie garondo

Lmao bro gatekeeping his daughter for like 50 years

Kami_Psy

5.5 probably would've been better after 2 or 3, cause it's relevant to the plot but not what happened rime wise with the plot

Clrissa young

Yeah, I'm Chinese too, sometimes they just speak Cantonese. Didn't notice at first.

No One Important

The father is the worst tbh. And yeah, those messages at the end made me cry too 😭

WorldWideLove2000

lupa i get you i cried too...

gaby

lupa at the end😭😭

twinuzis

Honestly though, this father might be one of the worst fathers in animation. He had the couple use up the entirety of their youth and adult years on trying to earn his approval for marriage. What a waste.

Meet the Parents - The Gung Fu Edition

J Man

I just noticed that the father in law sifu speaks in a different dialect than Mandarin. I only say that because I can't understand any words he's saying compared to anyone else (growing up half black half Chinese, I grew up learning Mandarin from my teochew Chinese mom). His dialect sounds a bit canto (?), just because it has those goofy tones.

J Man

Yehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Hasnain Khan

Lupa fighting for his life during this show. Can't say I was any better

mykanike

Glad to see Lupo wiping their eyes at the end😭

Anon7524

what even is the point of marriage at that age lmao

RBGTalk

I never saw that ending part with the photos before, thanks for watching!!

User100

I have never read the message at the end before but I did it this time and it’s broke me

HaNo0onat

Judging by Cheng's happy demeanour in this ep, this event likely took place before the earthquake arc.

Farquad

From this point on the show is in full gear 😂😂 it’s going to get crazy

Ruin

Ohh I was confused by the caption because I didn’t watch this ep I just went straight to 6

CleoKujo

Literally the most petty

HaNo0onat

It's funny how the father looks younger than his old ass son in law once both were of old age

J Man

Glad you remembered to do this episode otherwise we would have to riot
