Jr: Let's bring up something nostalgic to y'all, but first, who've seen a video where a song called "Sleeping Sun" is played while a ship sinks

Deku, Yamikumo, La Brava, Gentle, Kota, Eri, Mahoro, and Katsuma raised their hands.

Jr: Didn't expect that, but great

The video starts with HMHS Britannic being loaded with passengers, supplies, and troops during WW1 and the title "The Sinking of the Britannic."

Saitama: What is this

Della: This is YouTube Nostalgia era where Nightwish's song "Sleeping Sun" got mostly famous for playing this song to a ship sinking, this is the original source of this with the Olympic Class ship, RMS Gigantic/HMHS Britannic

Nezu: May I ask why would they believed this would put a mood for nostalgia

Dewey: To fit in the perfect dramatics and it's part of the early days of YouTube

[Verse 1]
The sun is sleeping quietly
Once upon a century
Wistful oceans calm and red
Ardent caresses laid to rest

For my dreams I hold my life
For wishes I behold my night
The truth at the end of time
Losing faith makes a crime

[Chorus]
I wish for this night-time
To last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you

[Verse 2]
Sorrow has a human heart
From my god it will depart
I'd sail before a thousand moons
Never finding where to go
Two hundred twenty-two days of light
Will be desired by a night
A moment for the poet's play
Until there's nothing left to say

Kirishima: Damn you for sinking such a beautiful ship

Huey: Here's an error here

Melissa: What error?

Huey: The error was that the Britannic got sunken by a underwater mine, not a torpedo, the torpedo in this video was to add the dramatic moments as well as there being little clips from James Cameron's Titanic and many clips from Sinking of the Lusitania: Terror at Sea

Louie: And many didn't care anyways

Huey: Except the 2000 Sink Theory since the water ain't shallow enough for the ship to just immediately capsize and sink all away

[Chorus]
I wish for this night-time
To last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you

Inko: Those poor people

[Guitar Solo]

Bakuhoe: Why didn't they fucking move their boat

Mitsuki: And why did they left the engines running

Olley: The Captain tried to beach the ship but he later knew that they wouldn't make it and since both the portholes were opened and some of the watertight doors being damaged or nonfunctional making the water filling up so much and these old steam ships may be beautiful but it has huge engine rooms and many boilers to power them which are all below the ship which if flooded too much when the engines are still running, then the crew will loose control of the ship's engines which can create a huge risk of exploding and the boilers will risked being exploded if too much water gets in it and as long as the pressure relief valves aren't damaged, and some watertight compartments aren't built to be fully sealed in some of these ships back then

Huey: Also another error from the Movie, the lifeboat got hit by the port side propeller, not the starboard side, and in this movie, the sinking was caused by a German spy using a bomb and sabotaging the watertight doors to open up, also the hole was on the wrong side in the movie

Olley: I still don't get why the song in James Cameron's Titanic became overrated and overused, but the remix version is my favorite as well as the "Non-Copyrighted" Recorder version

[Chorus]
I wish for this night-time
To last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you

The video ends with the Britannic sinking and the British Destroyer, HMS Scourge, going to pick up the remaining survivors.

Jr: So, how was that?

Kyoka: This song strangely fitted the mood

Olley couldn't help but have some bad Deja Vu from seeing this. The Triplets catched how their youngest Odd One Brother feel.

Huey: Don't worry, you will have a better life if you don't focus on it too much

Olley: You say that all the time, even if you Chaps aren't there with me

Jr: What's the last time you've heard this song

Me: Since Childhood, I don't know, it's nostalgic when I rewatch/listen to this again
