I really love how Kabae changed from a simple stereotype of 'office gossip' to a well rounded character. And one that didn't compromise the original idea.
That's the thing about life isn't it? It makes meeting people so interesting. Maybe that one person at work that you never speak to has interesting things to talk about, but you never interacted with them.
@@Thefoxthatbecameawolf I believe she will too, I know I gave up on the whole marriage thing because I guess maybe I have different opinions on it but hey it's not for everyone.
@Kid 50 yeah prenups don't always work though, all she has to do is say that she signed under duress or that she was like forced to sign and nine times out of time thr judge goes with what they say.
@Kid 50 I too am an atheist, I just never believed in marriage because why do I need some piece of paper and an expensive ring and the risk of losing half of my stuff to say I love the girl I'm with?
I agree. First season it was nosy chatterbox to office spy, then it went to motherly figure with a big heart. Something we as an audience didn't see before because she reminded us of so many nosy co-workers we knew of, was finally brought to light. And that is the fact that she is sweet and kind, and willing to share advice. Honestly, she's the purest person on this show and deserves more credit.
Kabae gives great advice and guidance. Happily reassuring Retsuko that she is marriage material to someone, based upon her own experience. And that is adorable.
That's kinda sad when you think about it. She literally taped her mouth shut for three weeks(assuming she would undo it to eat) and made herself sick because she was self conscious about talking
i don’t think she literally taped her mouth shut. I think what happened was that she became so self conscious about over talking that she would literally have to hold her breath in to stop herself whenever she saw someone, She probably passed out and got to the hospital that way.
I still apologize to my husband that I chew his ear off every time we talk, but he keeps telling me that no matter how tired he was, he is never tired of listening to me. To all you people out there, find someone who enjoys your company. Whether it's lively or lull, if you both enjoy each other's presence, that's a good sign. Having alone time is also encouraged, but if you go back to their side and think that you feel exhausted, then you have to evaluate that relationship.
She's right too. I had no real "need" to be married - I was content and at peace with myself. Then at the ripe old age of 20 I met the guy I ended up marrying, and 30 years later were still joyfully married. Not perfect, but with 2 bull headed people it's an ongoing learning experience! I do have a great husband - i went from hard body health nut to fibromyalgia fighting for my strength and in pain 24/7. But I'm still the person he fell for (cuz I refuse to be anyone or anything else, especially bitter), and he sees more strength in me in this state than when I was fit. And I appreciate him more than ever... that's what makes it work!
I know the struggle. My sister is dealing with either post lyme's disease or fibromyalgia. My mother left this world too early due to fibromyalgia. I hope you can improve. Hopefully by the time I am a dietitian they can figure out what fibromyalgia is. I am studying to become a nutritionist and then hopefully transfer into dietetics. I feel as though gastroenterology and microbiology is probably the key route of the disorder. It is tough to say.
Given how Diogenes (Guy who presented a plucked chicken in response to Socrates' classification of man) was an utter douche who didn't care about appearances back in the day and insulted people to their face, and is still considered a wise man even today, I'd say that assessment's pretty accurate.
I guess that's what having a relationship is actually about, not about how handsome or how much money they actually have or about if they want to get married. It's about finding someone that accepts you for who you are, it's mostly the reason why people get married after, they never actually thought about it, they only decided they wanted it because they already accepted eachother, I guess being yourself really is necessary in a relationship. Thanks Kabae for teaching me!
Can we all agree Kabae won season 2, she gave great advice for Retsuko, helped Anai calm down and actually encouraged his passion which led to him getting a side job in season 3(as well as getting a girlfriend) she's the best
Kabae is not so bad after, she is happy where she is, has an amazing husband and kids, and has a motherly personallity, she talks too much yes, but at least she is conciouss about it.
She basically said who cares what stereotypes think. Be yourself and someone really will love you for you. .... thanks kabae, for reminding me about that TwT
It's true. What many people might not be able to stand about you, one person may be able to consider it sweet or endearing. But seriously, Kabae hit the jackpot with a doctor.
We knew next to nothing about Retsuko’s coworkers when we started this show, now it’s safe to say that they’re people we can really look up to. Which is ironic seeing are there are literally no people.
Dr. Killson & another girl from How I Met Your Mother, she met a deaf man & chatted his ears off even if he didn’t understand or could hear a thing she said.
Dragoncurse4 I’ve actually haven’t seen friends, I tried watching clips of it & I apologize but I can’t stand it. It’s completely overrated, not to mention the fact that Ross & Rachel’s relationship is basically a relationship that’s always on the rocks. & that nothing can’t go on w/out another character knowing about it. Ig that last part is the same way w/ some group sitcoms but it’s not to the point where they’re in each other’s lives or forcing somebody to do something. Idk it just wasn’t my cup of tea. I dig scrubs & HIMYM more than the Office & Friends.
I love how this show has flawed characters worth admiring that are also not super problematic. Like, all quirks are embraced here as part of the whole person, and not just treated as a negative on a pro/con list
I'm sort of confused by this show's way of mixing animal couples. Kabae and all the other currently married couples on the show are the same species, yet retsuko has no problem dating other species and no one else bats an eye. I think they're just trying to cleverly avoid the explanation of how the children's species is decided.
It might be the same as Beastars. I mean the main character's grandfather is a lizard the most his grandkid got out of it was his tolerance to poison, I think, and his eyes.
From what we're seeing from the end of Season 3, we'll finally gonna see a blossoming relationship between Retsuko and Haida. Thanks to Kabae's advice.
@@jfudge9732 thing being, this show is based in japan so not only is work culture different, but dating and marriage values as well...having a solid income and having your life together means quite a bit to most people there, at least thats what I've grasped from this show. It's why everyone pushed for Haida to date Inui, cause she was essentially perfect and would make for an amazing spouse.
rlly cute how haida was one of the only ones who listened to & actively supported retsuko in her death metal & in fact was pushing her to let it all out bcus he knew thats what she needed
I actually like this perspective though, like... it wasn't just that Kabae was 'flawed', that made it difficult to find someone to be with. It was also that she was looking in the wrong place. Someone who is very driven to become that type of doctor is probably also someone who genuinely likes listening to other people-- or else their job would drive them crazy, or they'd dismiss their patients, cause medical harm, and develop a terrible reputation. Retsuko's problem too is that her environment is completely the wrong one to find someone who's a fit for her real personality and heart.
I bet Misty Lee had fun with this story since she really does a cute job with Kabae, and hearing her story of her meeting her husband is just SO sweet :D
Aww that was Soo sweet!😊💕 Clearly Kabae's advice should be called back in season 4 by Retsuko once she realizes that Haida was that one guy who listened to every word she said too😭 if they don't end up together I won't mind either. But I still hope Retsuko will remember this advice❤️
I can actually relate to her. During my entire experience in highschool, i really wasnt dating material. Everytime i found someone i liked and try to get to know, i weirded them out or talked too much to a point where they avoided me. When i realized that, i decided to just quit the whole dating game entirely and just hang out with my friends in highschool and just do my best in the school work. I really wasnt much of a good looking person and I always seemed to fuck up my chances with someone so i eventually got in my head that i was just wasnt meant for anyone. It was like that for 4 years, ever since my last boyfriend which the relationship was more of lust and not love (dont worry i didnt let him pressure me into doing something) and tbh seeing all my friends and other classmates with relationships of their own and being happy did make me a but sad cause i knew no one in my school or even outside of school was crazy enough to try to give me a chance at an actual relationship. That was until my beginning of senior year, i was talking to one of my classmates on the bus about how people clean horse penises (i was working on a horse farm in my town and my friend was curious, weird ik) and i didnt realize how loudly i was getting about it until this guy asks what the hell im talking about. Then after me and the guy were talking and eventually we started talking more and more on the bus and eventually sitting together, walking to class together, sitting at lunch together and just getting to know each other. Then one day he finally asks me out and when he did i had to ask him a bunch of times if he was kidding or not. I did say yes, given i had to think about for 2 class periods but i agreed. We dated for 2 weeks and after he kissed me on the lips for the first time, i had no idea how i felt in the situation anymore. I was so content with being alone for so long that when i finally have someone it just felt out of place for me and i didnt know how to feel about it. So in order to finally see my stance on things, i broke things off for a week to see what happens, he was cool with it and said i can have my space. But the moment i got home, i started to cry, like really hard, and i had no idea why, and after that I felt horrible and lonely. I guess after being alone for a while i wasnt used to being given a chance at love because people never gave me on because i weirded them out or talked too much. We got back together after one painful week by having him kiss me for real, which when he did i felt better and knee i did have feeling for him and i didnt want to blow my chance again. My point is in this story is, love is fucking weird. And if you ever feel lonely in this world or you feel like you'll never find the one, then trust me this once, theres someone out there for you, and you will find them someday. Me and my boyfriend have been going on almost 3 years now and it always cracks me up how me and him met. All because of horse penis
I like how sweet the scene and the advice is, reminds me of of how my parents told me they met which was a car repair place where they both worked, I can't remember the one word or other for such a place for some reason. LOL but she said that the both of them when they saw each other both thought that "I feel like I know this person or have met this person before." And after that day they became best friends and then the best parents a lucky girl could have. They were married for I dunno know why I'm not sure but for 27 years I think. I'm not sure still for some reason, but for me and our friends, we could see that they truly were as some say soul mates and so many people wish that they had their kind of relationship. My dad though passed away in 2019, which as left my mom heartbroken. But it goes to show that life is beautifully strange at times and that how we meet the love our life can be what feels like a chance meeting
My parents always told me that the person you marry should be your best friend. They known each other since high school; she was the bookworm who kept to herself while he was the football player who was friends with everyone. And yet, despite their radical differences, they would eventually get married and have two kids.
It's neat how Kabae went from this simple jokey annoying character who simply refuses to shut up and constantly gossips about stuff. But in S2,she became this "mother figure" to his co-workers,one that gives comfort and advice to them when they needed it. I hated her in S1 but now I love her in S2 And her marriage advice is also very good. Since you shouldn't marry someone that you simply love,but rather someone who you love and will love you back. One that also accepts you,just the way you are. It's a very good advice ngl
Kabae's story reminds me of how my parents and grandparents met. Always when one least expects it. For my parents, my dad just arrived on mom's doorstep, literally. As for my grandparents, it's almost like the notebook but in that one grandpa actually ran grandma off the road to find out where she lived so he can take her out on a date, all based on the car she was driving.
@@Apricot90 Do you know what a smother is? I don't know if Japanese mothers are like this, but most Jewish, Italian, and Mexican mothers, at least from what I know, all want their daughter to be married, have kids, take care of their parents, live the mother's dreams(depending), and more. Some even lead down to bulling though they never know it.
Toxic? I’m not sure. The child is often a reflection of the parent in some pet. In that conversation between her and Retsy, i think we kinda see Retsuko takes after her mother in some part. So her mother isn’t so much toxic as she is what Retsuko might end up as as she gets older. Is this good or bad, I’m can’t say. It’s one thing to want to be better then your parents, but depending on the parent being up like them isn’t a terrible fate either. For me my parents have been married well into their sixties and live a happy life together. If I can obtain that alone, I think I’d feel fulfilled.
1:41 that still makes me cry because I use to say this to my boyfriend when we first started dating and he always said it was a stupid thing to think. I was watching this with him and I saw him smiling at me from the corner of my eye.
Its a shame this doesn't always work both ways. Someone could find you marriage material for them but you don't view them the same, or you could view someone marriage material for them, but they don't feel the same way about you... Its a shame. But I always do praise those who truly understand the weight of such things, who don't simply fantasize about marriage but truly know that it is hardest choice you will ever make not because its difficult, but because you have to choose it every single day, every hour, every second for the rest of your life.
Is the joke that her husband was a doctor so he a lot of patients? (Cus patients and patience sound the same) it made me laugh but then I thought that can't be intentional because that joke would only work in English and not the original Japanese. So it's just a funny coincidence.
This was one of my favorite things about Season 2. Kabae goes from just comedic relief in Season 1 to mom friend in Season 2. Sweet, nurturing, and wise. Also, can we talk about how FUCKING ADORABLE HER KIDS WERE??
@Long-Tailed Charmander its fine really, im very fortunate that my family is strong and were getting though it. Its been about 4 months, and were so grateful that it wasnt because of Covid, or cancer, or any UNGODLY illness. Thank you tho. That comment was made in a really bad mindset of mine. Explaining the bad Grammer 😆
I never thought I would get married, nor did I want to. Met my first love in college, been with him for sixteen years. It happens when you least expect it too. She is right though. You’ll know who your soulmate is because you will finally know what it’s like for someone to accept you as you are. You can be yourself. Heck, in some ways you’ll better yourself because a soulmate makes you want to be a better person.
