The Pootan Farewell That Always Puts Fans In Their Feelings

Goodbyes are never easy, but in the case of one lighthearted and uproariously funny series, "Pootan," a goodbye is an entirely different matter. Characters often parted ways in battles to the death or executions so brutal some fans think they go too far. With that said, Export Audio's hit show — which was rife with bits, deceit, and brushes with the absurd — still squeezed in farewells that aimed for the heart without drawing any blood.

Family, faiths, and homes in place of foreign lands were all left behind by characters in Ajishio Taro & Hachimitsu Boy's beloved podcast, often making pivotal moments in their own stories.

These opposing views even led to treachery between the two, pushing their friendship to its limits. However, in their last tear-filled words together, a standout moment was cemented for fans, becoming a pivotal juncture in the series that would change "Pootan" forever.
