  Speaker 1: This is an Unspoiled Network podcast. This is spoil Me,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: covering one piece episodes six eighty eight through six point
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: ninety A desperate situation, Loofy gets caught in a trap,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: a great escape, Loofy's tide turning elephant gun, and a
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: united front Loofy's breakthrough to the victory. In these episodes,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: we have got some absolute A plus progress happening in
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: this plot. I am so pleased, I genuinely am, you guys,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: with how this is all unfolding. It's really kind of,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: in a lot of ways, just what I have wanted
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: in many of the other arcs that we have watched. Delighted,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Welcome to spoil Me, Welcome to the show everyone. I
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: am Natasha. Thank you very much to Florian for commissioning
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: this episode. So, you guys, when I tell you how
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: happy I am about this, there's a lot of reasons
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: for it. Part of it is just the fact that
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: we're sort of taking our time in certain ways that
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: I think matter.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: More So when I say that, what.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: I'm really thinking of is the development of the people
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: in the town working together, and the guys who all
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: were like very fixated on each taking down do Flamingo
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: themselves also working together. I I think that this could
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: very easily have been a.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: We have seen in the past.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: That certain things will get really really drawn out and
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: then other things sort of just seemed to change and
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: shift overnight. One episode, everybody is feeling this way, and
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: then another episode it's like everybody has suddenly come to
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: an agreement. We are all on a like totally we
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: have decided something else. And there was a little bit
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: of that I won't lie with the whole, like deciding
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: to turn on Oosop in order to get the bounty
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: from Do Flamingo. But this time, the thing that I
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: was really pleased about was the couple of moments. And
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: I will like start at the beginning of this trio
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: of episodes, I promise, But for right now, what I
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: was really like kind of drawn in by was seeing
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: the townsfolk come together to stop the ones that are
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: like about to kill their own families. The one dude
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: who he is about to attack his wife and he
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: tells her to run.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: She does run.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: But the way that No Flamingo is like handling this
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: is he's making this guy turn and continue to aim
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: at her as she's running away. In a pretty like
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: grim fucking way. I must say, that was brutal. And
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: this guy gets tackled by a bunch of other townsfolk
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: who are here trying to help him, and I was
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: just so pleased at getting to see the beginnings of
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: people organizing and working together.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: I just.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I didn't even really stop and consider this as something
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: that I wanted so desperately. I am not trying to
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: pretend that I was sitting here going, you know what
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: this story needs, because that would be a lie. I
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: would not be being fully honest with you all. But
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: once I was given it, that was when I really
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: had a moment of like, oh, yeah, this is what
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: I wanted. I needed there to be a sense of
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: unity amongst all of these people. I think that was
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: what bummed me out so much about everybody deciding to
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: turn on oosup was that they've all been played. You know,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: every single person has been like fucking fell for the
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: okie doke, and I was just kind of devastated at
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: the fact that it seemed like nobody really was seeming
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: to like see that and wanting to band together in
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: order to to.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Like take this.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Guy down him dividing and conquering seemed to work really
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: really well, really really quickly. And you know, I already
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: talked about how I was drawing a lot of parallels
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: between what was happening with them being divided and what's
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: happening in our country right now. And I want to
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: be very clear when I talk about us being divided,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I really don't want anybody to think that what I'm
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: saying is we shouldn't be divided, like in terms of
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: people's beliefs. I think that when people are extremely bigoted
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: and wish harm on a whole segment of the population,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: then we should be divided. For everybody's health and safety,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: we should be divided. But what I crave is for
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: us to be working together. I want for everybody to
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: see how we've been played, and I want everybody to
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: like begin to understand that segments of the population are
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: being pitted against each other on purpose as a distraction.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: And it really I think.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: That's why this spoke to me so much, was because
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: I just am longing for this kind of togetherness of purpose.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: I want everybody to be on the same page and
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: prioritizing looking out for one another and seeing the fact
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: that like we are being used, we are being toyed with,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: and for all of us to successfully, like just use
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: the sheer numbers that we have on our side to
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: handle our situation, because we are actually in a pretty
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: good position for defending ourselves, for defending our friends, for
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: taking down an establishment that isn't here to help us.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: And I think that's just part of what was like
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: almost moving about this part was this moment where the
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: guys are like helping the one that is being controlled
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: to fight his wife, but also the guy who is
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: about to fire on Kiros. There's a sharpshooter who is
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: in this like he's on the top of the sort
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: of overpass or a bridge or something and he's about
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: to take a shot. It's done really well too. I
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: liked how this was set up where Kiro is running
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: and the guy is like, ah, finally in my bounty.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: He's right there, and he starts to sort of zoom
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: in the cameras zooming in on Kiros, and you hear
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: the shot, and of course from hearing that, you very
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: much assume, oh no, the dude just shot at him.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: And then it's a second later that you're like, Butkiros
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: isn't acting like he's been shot, you know, like there's
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: a moment of just sort of hold on, wait, what's
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: happening here? And it turns out that there is an
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: old man who has just jumped this guy from behind
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: after seeing that he is like trying to go after Kiros.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: And it's just.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Some old dude like just jumping in there because he
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: saw something and he decided to fucking do something.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: And it was it was fucking.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Straight up heartwarming, you guys, It really was.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: I was.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I was so taken by surprise at how moved I
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: was by this. I really loved it. And you know, granted,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: this guy afterward, when he's finally got the chance to
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: talk to Kiros, says to him, can will you please
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: just turn yourself in, like you could make this all stop?
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: And that did suck a little.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Bit because I don't feel like Kiros should be the
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: one held responsible for everything that's happening.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Like there's a part of me.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: That's frustrated at this even being asked of him, you know,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: but I also appreciated that this guy isn't just going
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: after Kiros. He is trying to reason with him, trying
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: to explain this is the situation that I am in
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: and you could help, You could make it so that
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: everything is like stops.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Have you thought about what.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Regular people are going through right now? And I always
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: respect when folks are just willing to have an actual conversation.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: It's rare, Honestly, it's too rare. And I appreciated just
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: all of these little moments of everybody starting to like
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: step back and understand the situation. And then you get
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: at the very end of the third episode, you really
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: get like the culmination of this where even all of
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: the guys who wanted to take down do Flamingo themselves,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: they all stop doing something that's ultimately just straight up selfish,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: and they decide that they are going to try and
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: work together because that's the only way we're all going
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: to get through this, and it just everybody is finally
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: starting to turn a corner. And you know, I say
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: that this sort of thing, the way that it's being
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: handled is something that I really like. It's just things
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: like this where I feel like the the culmination of
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: them fighting against each other and then slowly turning. I
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: thought that it was well illustrated. It doesn't always feel
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: like it's done in a way that is ultimately believable.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: But I couldn't help but think like this time around,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: even though we don't really see the development of the
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: fighters from the arena like starting to all come around
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: on this, I still felt like thematically because you see
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: the townsfolk starting to work together, that it's still worked
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: and made sense and just overall it was I was
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: just pleasantly surprised at how well this all hung together,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: because a lot of times when we are in these arcs,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: you guys know this, you understand this, I think already,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: But a lot of times I will have some difficulty with,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: like the moving away from our main people. It will
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: start to get frustrating because I don't care about a
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: lot of the side characters and stuff very much, and
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: I will feel like the way that people are behaving
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: as far as like just townsfolk, there will be a
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: sort of sense of we're making them all be either
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: all everybody is like so unreasonable and brutal that it's
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: unpleasant to watch, or it will be that like everybody
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: does this heel turn and immediately they are all great, good,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: perfect people and they're all trying their best, and there's
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: like one person who's sort of the outlier and everybody
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: turns on that one guy, and either way they both
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: just feel a little bit unbelievable. And I just thought
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: that this was paced quite well with it looking like
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: everybody is turning on each other, and then eventually we
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: do get to a point where it's clear that, like
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: we have begun to organize a little bit. There's a
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: feeling more of like the chaos of all of what's
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: been going on has made it so that it's difficult
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: for everybody to immediately group up together and have one
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: another's backs. But once people are starting to get a
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: sense of the way they've been manipulated and they've had
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: some time to sit with that a little bit more,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: it really just felt more for me like, Okay, now
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: we're seeing the culmination of this, everybody finally starting to
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: to settle, talk to each other and come up with
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: a strategy here, and I just really liked it. So
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to start things off talking about that.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: I was just so pleasantly surprised overall by this like
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: section of the arc, because you know, I was a
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: little bit and I'm not trying to blame anybody, but
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: like when you hear that a certain arc is like
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: longer than any of the others, and that maybe some
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: people were frustrated by that. I can't help but be
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: a little bit like concerned and think, oh, no, is
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: it going to be really really tiresome, and I'll begin
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: to sort of expect the worst. And I really again
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: want to emphasize that I'm not saying expect the worst,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: like I want to blame anybody for this, but it's
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: more like almost I think it has set me up
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: well where I am in a place that I was
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: sort of expecting there to be a a dragging out
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: that I haven't yet seen. That's not to say that
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: it won't eventually happen, and there may be a point
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: where I reach it and I'm like, oh no, okay,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: so here is the slowdown where everybody you know. But
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: for right now, I do think that lowering my expectations
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: and being a little bit worried has just made it
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: more enjoyable because it turns out that things have worked
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: out a lot better, and the storytelling pacing overall for
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: this arc has been really good. It's just like kind
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: of shockingly so, and I just keep being pleasantly surprised
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: by that.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: And also.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Despite the fact that there are a lot of characters
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: that we really haven't seen very much from because they
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: have been cut out of this particular part.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Of the arc.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Every time that I notice that we haven't seen them
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: a lot of times, you know, the show specializes in
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: splitting up the party, and that's completely valid and understandable
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: as a plot device, but there will be times where
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: I will sort of kind of step back and be like, Okay,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: why does everything feel like it's slowing down? Oh, it's
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: because we haven't seen some of my favorite people. That's
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: what's going on here. And in this I have actually
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: been like, oh, we haven't seen so and so in.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: A while, Huh, where are they?
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: What are they up to, instead of me going, oh,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: we haven't seen so and so. That's why everything feels
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: like it's come to a screeching halt.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: So it's made me.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Feel less like we're misusing our characters or we're like
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: sort of wasting time on things that when I would
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: rather be watching something else, and instead I'm genuinely engrossed
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: enough in what's actually happening to not notice that we
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: haven't checked in with the others for a while. And
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: once I recall I'm like, oh, yeah, that's a whole
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: other story is going on, especially because you guys know
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: how much I love Brooke specifically. One would really think
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: that Brooke would be the particular that I'd stop and go,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: where is my guy? Why are we not seeing him?
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: What are we doing? You know? And so the fact
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: that I have been pretty much unconscious of the fact
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: that Brooke isn't here, I think that's like pretty impressive.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: So anyway, all right, I talked a lot about the
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: section in general, so let's talk about Let's talk first
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: about Loofy gets caught in a trap. Oh and by
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: the way, there's a new theme song at the start
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: of the trio of episodes, which I was surprised Excuse me,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: I was surprised by because it seems to me mostly
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: we've had a new theme song when there's the start
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: of a new arc, but we're still in the same arc,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: and we still got a new theme song. So I
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: either they changed it up from what they normally do,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: or I just sort of misunderstood how often that really happens,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: and that it you know, I was thinking of it wrong.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: But I do actually quite like this new theme song.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: The last one was okay. I wasn't too it was fine,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: But I think this new one really really like it's
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: almost sad whenever I like a theme song too much
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: because I am aware it's gonna go away eventually, and
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: so I'm like, I.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Can't get attached. I can't like it too much.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: So only this this Loofy falls into a trap. It's
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: a pretty good bit actually, because he is being promised
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: a shortcut up to the plateau to the flower field,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: and he h the way that this guy plays it
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: a lot of times. I don't know if this is
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: just an improvement in the writing overall, or if it's
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: just the way that I watched in the past and
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: had like less forgiveness for a thing. I don't know,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: but I felt like there have been so many times
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: where somebody has fallen for a trick that I have
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: been like, I cannot believe these characters didn't see this
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: for what it was. But Loofy has been on the
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: receiving end of enough help and people who are on
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: his side that I couldn't help but like understand why
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: this guy was believable as an ally to him. This
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: seemed I understood that it was going to be a
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: trap pretty quickly because my radar is just up in general.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: But I thought that the reveal of it being a
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: trap was fairly like well done, and that this guy
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: seemed pretty convincing from the outset. So what it is
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: that he's doing is leading Lufy into a dead end.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Now here's what was very confusing to me, because I
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: really really thought, kids, this was I feel like a
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: bit of a ding dong, and you know, maybe I
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: just am and I have to live with that.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: But this guy is leading Lufy in. He is.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Obviously got his sinister little chuckle YadA YadA. Now I
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: think I should have put two and two together that
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: this guy was here to get the bounty off of Loufy.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: I genuinely just thought that this guy was working with
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Do Flamingo from the beginning. I don't know why I
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: thought that, because we haven't seen this man talking to
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Do Flamingo or as part of like Do Flamingo's family
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: in our circle. That has never been a thing. But
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: I just assumed that if this were a trap, that
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: the trap was on behalf of Do Flamingo. That this
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: was like, if it was a trap, then it would
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: require the kind of organization that somebody like kind of
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: higher on the chain would require. So when this guy
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: is like smirking to himself, he's standing outside of the
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: UH the entrance of this dead end tunnel. I was
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: thinking he was sending Loofy down the tunnel to meet
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: up with some batties from Do Flamingo's family, just not
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: like ready for it. What it looks like was really
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: going on is that this guy knew that there was
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: seawater at the end of the tunnel. And correct me
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: if I'm wrong here, kids, because I maybe overestimating the
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: seawater angle of this, but this is really what I thought,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: and that he was planning for Lufy to be disabled
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: because of the seawater and then to like come in
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: and sort of push him back up into that water
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: to make it so that Lufy couldn't use his power
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: and thus get the drop on him that way, which
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: I am curious how this guy found this dead end.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: And how he.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Got the seawater in there, or if this was like
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: a naturally occurring thing that he just decided to take
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: the UH take advantage of it. But regardless, I just
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: misunderstood the way that this was going to go down
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: So when he's standing outside of the entrance.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: And he is.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Like just waiting for them to go down, and somebody
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: comes up behind him and attacks him, I thought, oh, nice,
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: we're getting like somebody who's on Loofy's side, who has
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: decided to step forward and rescue him. And it's being
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: presented as this person slowly walks up the hallway as
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: if they are an enemy. But we're going to find
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: out in short order that they're actually on our side
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: and that this is a good thing that Lufy is here.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: So imagine my confusion when it's Do Flamingo that turns up.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: I will say that at the very least, the thing
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: that I got right was that Do Flamingo is not
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: really here, that this is one of the clones. That
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: was pretty much what I assumed, So I was right
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: on that front at least. But when Do Flamingo says
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: something about rescue Lufy, that was when I genuinely was like, wait,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, what are
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: you talking about? And it took me so long to
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: understand that genuinely this dude was here to like, as
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Lufi puts it, later point out the fact that Lufi
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: is out of his depth and just Loki laugh at him,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: and the fact that he trusted this guy and got
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: himself into this position. Like what it feels like to
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: me is that Do Flamingo saw Lufy starting to get
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: played and like wants to have the face off with
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Lufy after all, Like he's kind of into that and
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: was going, this guy is going to ruin it. If
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Louvi falls for this, then I'm not gonna get to
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: have my moment up against him, and that sucks. So
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: I want to make sure Lufy actually makes it out.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: And the convoluted nature of the way this all works.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: I think that in other circumstances this might annoy me
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: a little bit, but I really liked it this time around.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Like the fact that Do Flamingo is toying with him
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: in this way actually feels quite in character. The fact
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: that this dude would have been trying to trap him
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: for his own gain makes sense with a bounty, but
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: then that Do Flamingo would swoop in, like I think
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: a lot of times I would be kind of side
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: eyeing it as like, well, obviously, it's just so that
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: we could have the tension of oh, he's falling for
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: a trap, but then it turns out okay, and we're
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: just doing this very contrived thing of do Flamingo being
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: the one to save him because it's supposed to be
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: like to add to the tension that Do Flamingo is here, surprise, surprise,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: and instead, I h I really was like enjoying the
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: fact that dolfl Mingo is such an agent of chaos
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: that he is literally out here helping Loofy sometimes to
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: just just for the sake of making the fight go
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: in the exact direction that he wants it to go,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: because he is so certain and confident that things are
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: going to work out for him ultimately that he thinks
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: he can afford to fuck around a little bit just
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: for the fun of it. So just all that to say, like,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: I feel like this could have gone a really different
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: way if it had been written slightly less well, or
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: if dolfl Mingo as a character hadn't been like presented
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: as cohesively and consistently as he has been. There are
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: a lot of factors that were they not there, I
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: don't think this plot beat would have worked at all.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: And I think it's a really nice example of like
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: when the writing and the show can be quite good
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: because it just you know, if there's a lot of episodes,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: they're not all going to be winners, and not all
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: the characters and what they do are going to make
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: sense every time. But I definitely thought that this particular
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: thing was like.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: It was a really.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Like goofy silly moment that felt goofy and silly in
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: a believable world consistent way. And so anyway, the one
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: thing that you guys know already that I did not
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: like was the fact that Moosey gets shot up here.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: I trust that Moosey is going to be okay eventually,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: but you guys know, I didn't care for that the
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: fact that he shot Moosey up. I mean, my god,
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: how like the absolute worst. I hate it so much,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: And I'm I've gotten to a point with the show
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: that I am confident enough that the animals that we
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: love will always be fine. There have been, like I
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: think like one or two times where they have either
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: gotten recaptured by an enemy or something has happened where
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: it didn't work out and it wasn't like the animal
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: was dead necessarily, but it was that like we didn't
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: get reunited with them necessarily, but because of how front
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: and center Moosey seems to be in a lot of
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: these episodes. I'm just going to have faith that things
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: will be okay for him and that we will get
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: to see him again. I one Loofy busts out through
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: the ceiling of this spot, and he didn't bring Moosey
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: with him. He has only grabbed law. I was like, okay, fine,
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna try and be cool with this, but I
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: really wish that we had also gotten to see Moosey
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: get rescued in that moment. The thing is that the
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: two dudes who were on Moosey's back are they like
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: swoop in and help against the I keep wanting to
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: say the Dophie Bot, which like it's not a bot
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: because it's made out of thread, so it's magic. It's
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: like he's almost like a golum a little bit, really,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: But the fact that they like slice him up and
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: then they're like, I really thought it was so good.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: They kind of pause and they're like, wait, is that it?
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: This is the guy that everybody's like trying to fight.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: Did we just win? Hold on? What's happening?
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: That was very funny and they have to explain, like no, no, No,
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: this dude is not really here. That is just some
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: thing that he is able to make with his power.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: So I am hopeful that because those dudes are left
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: down there as well, they will take care of Moocy
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: and it will be all good. But yeah, for right now,
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: I definitely am just like Lucy, Lucy baby, are you
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: all right? Somebody, somebody do something. Also, there's a funny
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: bit where Law is I don't know if I really
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: talked about it enough last episode, but La finally has
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: like come around and says that he understands what it
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: was that Lufy was talking about regarding caring for the
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: fate of the kingdom overall and not sticking to the
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: plan because they aren't going they are going to prioritize
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: the well being of the people over the strategy that
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: he had originally really wanted.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: To stick to. And so he's like, yeah, we have to.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: Fight do Flamingo. I get it, let's just do that.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: But I thought that the uh, I've lost track of
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: where I was going with this.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: What was it? Oh?
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Oh with Law he keeps saying like pointing out to Loofy,
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: like you're just trying to get to do Flamingo and
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: you're not seeming to remember I am in handcuffs still.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: We really really need the keys to the handcuffs, my guy.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: And like he gets Lufy's attention enough that when Lufy
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: turns and looks at him, I kind of thought he
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Lufy was going to be like, oh, you're right, because
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: he actually stops and goes hm and kids. You know
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: how little Loofy ever seems to really consider what people
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: say to him. It's like it doesn't penetrate. So if
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: he actually acknowledges that somebody has said words, I fully
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: thought we were going to get a change of plan
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: here we do. Not what we get is Lufy going
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: hmm and then just saying it'll all work out. I think,
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: oh my god, I really loved it so much. I uh,
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: and Law just screams at him like what if you're wrong?
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: And Louvie doesn't really have an answer.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: He doesn't like.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: I think they maybe get interrupted at that point. I
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: don't know, but he doesn't have an answer for him
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: either way, even if it hadn't been interrupted. And I
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: loved just the whole vibe of this scene and the
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: fact that eventually it does work out, and Lufy is
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: like well, see, I told you it worked out, and
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: Law is so irritated, and he says, like, yeah, by coincidence.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: And the thing is that that's like what life is,
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: you know. I'm always interested in this question because I
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: have oftentimes sort of thought of myself as a like
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: kind of pessimistic, jaded person. But the more I interact
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: with people, the more I realize that I am a
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: pretty optimistic person.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: Actually.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: There are a lot of points in my life where
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: things have gone really badly, and even though I have
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: been really depressed over them, ultimately, like other than when
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: I was a teenager and first experiencing really bad depression,
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: I definitely had suicidal thoughts. But as I've gotten older,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: I've realized that even when I am at my most despairing,
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: a real thought of attempting suicide never enters my mind
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: because somewhere inside me, I always genuinely believe it will
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: get better. I just have to wait it out and
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: eventually it will get better.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: And there's really no like.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: Evidence for that kind of outline. It's just a kind
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: of faith, you know, and you can't whenever something happens
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: where it does work out. It always can be argued
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: that that was just coincidence, but like bad things are
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: also just coincidence, and we really don't treat that that way.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: So I just I think it's really you know, it's
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: the sort of thing the difference between like the way
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: that you behave after they get the key. One type
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: of person is going to go, see, I told you
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: it would work out, and another person is going to
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: think constantly about how like if it hadn't happened, if
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: this didn't work out, if that didn't work out, then
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: all of the terrible outcomes that we could have seen
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: had something gone in a different direction. It's not like
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: they're not it's not like they're incorrect about the potential
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: for things to have gone really really wrong, but they
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: are focusing on an outcome that didn't actually happen, and
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: they seem to believe that, because of the circumstances of life,
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: that the negative outcome is just more likely than the
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: positive outcome. And I am somebody who I have come
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: to understand I see like a much bigger picture a
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: lot of the time, and I have the outlook of
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: something a friend said to me once it all will
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: turn out all right in the end, and if it's
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: not alright, then it's not the end. And I think
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: that's like the way that Lufy operates is that he
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: really does seem to like trust in the universe to
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: get him what.
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: He needs to succeed.
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: The thing about Loofy, though, is that everybody around him
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: is always compensating and bending over backwards to do the things,
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: and Lufy just seems to in some ways kind of
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: take it for granted. So, you know, I don't want
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: to like say that Lufy just has more faith and
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: that's being rewarded the faith that he has, it seems
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: to be in like the universe, and then the universe
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: manifests in a bunch of other people stepping up and
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: doing the things that probably Loofy should have accounted for more,
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: you know. But nevertheless, I just really I liked this
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: whole bit, and it's a great illustration of the difference
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: between Loofy and Law and how they they just go
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: the way that they approach life, the way that they
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: prioritize things. The fact that like it took Law this
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: long to really understand that he.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: Needed to.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: Fight do Flamingo after all, because he was so fixated
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: on his plan going a particular way that if it didn't,
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: he was like, even when it was clear we had
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: passed the point of no return with that plan, he
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: couldn't really let it go. And Loofy there is a
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: little bit of an advantage in the fly by the
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: seat of your pants kind of way that he operates
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: because he has a more flexible way of living, you know.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: So it's like a completely different vibe when you just
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: sort of roll with things. And it's it's funny because
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: I have like such a combination where I'm an overplanner
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: for sure, and I acknowledge that, but also do have
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: a lot of trust in like things just working out
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: a certain way. So I go back and forth with
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: like the trust but all so I feel like, well,
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: I can have trust that things will work out, and
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: I can feel like I need to do everything I
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: can to ensure this outcome. Like I it's like I
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: am kind of have the overall outlook of Loofy, but
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: I am also trying to do the work to make
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: it happen instead of trusting in other people, which I
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: think is probably pretty revealing about me. And the way
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: that I see other people in terms of their reliability
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: is like, look, things might turn out okay, but I
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: don't believe anybody else is going to manage to make
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: that happen. I am going to have to make that
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: happen if it's going to happen at all, which yeah,
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: there it is. So I'm sorry, I'm jumping around here.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: So getting the key to loofy. The way that we
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: do this is the Tumtata. It turns out they have
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: they call like what do they call it, like the
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: Yellow Air Force something like that. But it's a funny
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: bit because the dude who summons them, he like yells
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: it out, and there is a very long time where
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: nothing seems to happen, and you're genuinely kind of like,
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: uh guys, Like a lot of times the timing of
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: these sorts of jokes is nothing happens, there's a delay,
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: and then just as soon as you start to be like, okay,
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: I guess nobody's coming, all of a sudden they show
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: up and so you have your moment. But here, the
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: moment when I go okay, now they're going to show
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: passes twice and still nobody has turned up, and it's
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: dead silent. So I genuinely was starting to be like,
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: oh God, do they think something's going to happen, and
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: it's really not like and it felt like it worked
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: well because eventually one of the tantata is like, ah,
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: here they are, and start it's like laughing excitedly to
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: himself before we actually as like viewers are hearing anything.
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: And so what we see is a crowd of these
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: bugs and they land on the roof. And the way
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: that this, like the dialogue goes here, doesn't really work.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: I'm just going to admit that out right, because one
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: of them says, Okay, everybody hop on, And as we
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: find out, hopping on isn't how this works at all.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: That's not like, that isn't the way that you would
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: say it to considering what it is that they actually.
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: Do to move on these things.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: But the way that this works out is that the
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: tuntata are they make like a grouping that each has
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: these strings hanging down that our friends can hold onto,
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: so that they jump off the side of the building,
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: and like at first it is very much looking like
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: they are simply plummeting to their deaths, and then eventually
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: our guys sort of catch the wind or the velocity
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: evens out or something, and all of a sudden, they
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: are starting to like go horizontal instead of downward, and
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: they just have to kick off from one building to another,
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: and these things will help keep them in like a
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: sustained float. And it reminded me a lot of Do
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: Flamingo's Power. Actually, it was just a really similar effect
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: of you know, I can't actually fly, but this is
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: so close to a fly that like, does it really
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: matter at this point? You know? And I really I.
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: Enjoyed the.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: Seeing them all like doubting whether this was going to work.
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: Once you see it come together and how.
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: It works, I really liked.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: And then you get this moment, you guys, I was
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: losing my mind so fucking Bartolomeo. Initially, in order to
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: determine that we have to go to a certain place
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: to bring the key, Robin calls Loofy on the the
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: transponder snail. Now, my friends, I just have to say,
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: when Loufy answers the transponders snail and just says, hey,
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: this is Lufy, the guy who's going to become King
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: of the Pirates, I fell out laughing. I swear to God,
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: I love the fact that he is just like this.
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: It does not get old. For me, it really doesn't.
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: But anyway, when she is on the phone with him,
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: we kind of get a view of her and she
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: is standing between Bartolomeo and Rebecca and I think Wicka
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: is there with them as well, and Wicka is talking
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: to Lufy about who is here, and she calls.
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: Bartolomeo the uh what is she called? The Rooster Guy?
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: And in the split second before he reacts, I fully
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: expected that he was going to get irritated at being
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: called that, or he would like correct her and say, uh,
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: excuse me, that's not my name, you know, like I
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: want Lufy to know who it is he's talking to.
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: And instead, Bartolomeo staying the fucking MVP, I swear to God,
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: grins ear to ear and nods vigorously like yeah, yeah,
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: I'm the Rooster Guy and I'm here, you guys.
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: I fucking love him so much.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: I cannot get enough of Bartolameo. Can he please get
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: a spinoff show? Everything with him is fucking gold every time,
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: him just being delighted to be included, just being like, yeah, yeah,
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: the Rooster Guy.
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah this's me. Oh my gosh, she's talking about me
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: to Lufy.
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, Lufy's hearing about me does not have
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: like the concern the pride about like I have a name.
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: I want him to know who I am. That isn't it?
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: He pure is I am so excited to be here.
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: I can't believe it's Loofy on the phone. Oh my god,
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: they're talking about me. I'm involved. This is amazing, Like
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: everything about the whole interaction was so precious and pure
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: and wonderful.
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: Bartolomeo just keeps on giving for me.
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: I love him, and eventually once for flying, Bartolomeo is
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: like very concerned because people spot them and start shooting
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: at them. So Bartolomeo is like, I cannot believe that
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: they're shooting at us. If they hurt my friend Robin,
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be over for these hoes. So he initially
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: is like, yeah, let me go ahead and set up
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: a barrier, and he can't do it because he's his
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: hands are busy. So our poor guy has just like
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: lifts his fingers up and is gonna try and like
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: make a barrier, and then he realizes he can't and
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: he's like, wait, oh god, what do I do? And
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: the option that he comes up with, guys he's like,
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: let me do a rain of fire like I did
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: in the Colosseum. I genuinely, for a moment did not
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: understand what it was he was saying. And then we
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: get a flashback of him pissing into the water, and
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: I fell out laughing.
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: I could not believe it.
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: I was like, he is not and he's like wiggling
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: in this weird way, and one of the guys on
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: the ground also is just like what is he doing?
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: What is that? Why is he moving like that?
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: And then the camera pulls back and we see that
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: his pants have fallen like down around his ankle, so
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: he was like wiggling out of his belt. I guess, like,
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: I don't really how he does this when he's not
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: when he doesn't have any hands free, doesn't really make sense.
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: But it's fine. It's does not matter.
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: And so he is just about to like piss on
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: everybody's heads. And that's how he gets them to back off,
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: is that he is straight up, like nude from the
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: waist down, coming at them with his dick out, and
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: they are so threatened that he is going to piss
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: on them that they run. That's comedy. I'm sorry, friends,
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: this is gold. I loved it every bit. It's so good.
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: So let's talk also for another bit of gold about
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: Senor Pink, who is out here fighting with Frankie. So
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: Senor Pink is doing suplexing like it is his job now,
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: just over and over, and it makes sense because of
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: the way that he comes up from underneath people and
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: grabs them around the legs. But yeah, he he keeps
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: on soup lexing Frankie, and Frankie keeps on being sort
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: of like, I like sort of waving this guy because
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: like it's a little understandable.
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: The man looks bongers right, so like.
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: The fact that he is a good fighter and is
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: using any kind of strategy. I could see just constantly
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: being sort of taken off guard by that where you
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: keep expecting nothing because he seems like such a weirdo loser,
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: and then unexpectedly he's a good fighter and you're sort
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: of like, shit, right, I keep forgetting that I should
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: actually like take you seriously a little bit. So it's
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: like Frankie sort of loses track of him because he
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: the guy looks ridiculous, and then realizing oh oh oh,
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: oh no, no, no, this dude is somebody that I
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: should be concerned about. I have to be reminded of
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: it over and over again. And the fight between the
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: two of them like I actually enjoy, especially seeing as
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: they are both just in like little panty bottoms. It
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: does feel like we are watching actual wrestling. And at
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: one point the way that he's holding up Frankie, Frankie
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: is bent so backward that there is like a camera
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: zoom in on his bulge in the front of his
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: little panties, and the girls off to the side, who
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: are of course there all the time watching the fight.
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: She yells out, you know, don't show us you're junk
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: and mister pink as I can't help but think of him,
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: but Sendor Pink He he actually says, if you don't
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: like it, look away. This is what it looks like
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: when men fight. And I'll tell you what. I was
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: sort of into it, just being like, bitches, we aren't
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: here to be aesthetic to you right now, okay, we
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: are here to fight. This is what it is and
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: looks like. If you have a problem, I guess fucking
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: deal with that. Go somewhere else. I don't care. I'm
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: I really like look, I will stand by the fact
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: that Bartolomeo is MVP of this arc, but Senor Pink
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: still has the best one of like the best overall
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: moments of the show ever. And if it weren't for Bartolomeo,
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: he would easily be the best part of the arc.
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: It's just Bartolomeo is so unexpected, Like he is just
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: so full of surprises. So sen you're Pink, especially in
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: combination with Frankie because he is so weird, and then
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: for it to like jump into us being like the
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: moments of weirdness from him to Frankie actually calling out
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: the weirdness and being.
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: Like what is with you guys? Like this is strange?
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: Do you not? You know?
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: It's it's that sort of foil that makes it so
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: fun to watch and so funny. So eventually, like Frankie
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: is in a position here where he's not beaten, but
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: he is being stopped so frequently that he's not really
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: making any forward progress. And eventually the Tantata come up
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: with a plan and they're like, we just need you
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: to buy some time and we are going to handle
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: getting a door to the factory open from the inside,
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: So just like handle that and we'll do our thing,
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: and we don't see the results of that by the
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: end of these three episodes. But and it's sort of
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: like a shame because Frankie's in the middle of being
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: like by his time, oh, I can definitely do that,
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: and then just as he's like very confidently saying that
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: he can handle that, he gets suplexed again, and I
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: was just like, oh, agonizing, come on, But.
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this.
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: The arc. I think it's like partially what's working for
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: it is the very thing that a lot of other
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: times has been a problem where I have had an
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: issue with us jumping around so much because it's hard
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: to keep track of things after a point. It is,
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: you know, like moving from one character that I don't
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: really care about to another character that I don't really
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: care about, with fights that can be really predictable in
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: how they go down, or if not predictable, they are
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: at least like kind of dull, like, you know, bringing
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: it back to the Fishman Island, the way that.
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: Things went with.
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: Loofy versus the big bad there whose name I straight
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: up have forgotten.
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: It was just them like throwing.
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: Punches in water under the water, and it was so ordinary,
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: you know, there was nothing about the fight that really
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: made it even feel like.
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: It was underwater.
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: All of it was just sort of like by the
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: numbers kind of. And here, even though we are jumping
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: around a ton, there's a lot of different things going on,
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: and normally that can feel like a kiss of death.
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: I am really enjoying the weirdo powers some people have.
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: The different characters are very distinctly drawn. They are not
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: behaving in ways that I am expecting, and so it's
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: managing to really keep my focus and attention and it
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: isn't a downside.
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: At all, you know.
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: So Yeah, I'm a big, big.
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: Fan of this arc still so far.
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: And also like the the third episode. I've like talked
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: mostly about the first two. The third episode has the
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: most fighting with like Do Flamingo's guys, and I think
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: that's why I haven't talked about it as much, because
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: I find it a little bit less compelling. Do Flamingo's
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: guys are actually like somewhat interesting. It's not like that's
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: really a problem, but I like when I'm just dealing
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: with them and Do Flamingo, I am a lot less
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: interested than when they are going up against Lufy and
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: his people, Like.
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: When they're by themselves. It's much more.
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: That is when it starts to feel a little bit
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: by the numbers and the vibe of like fucking Dellinger again,
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: who I just do not like, and the way that
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: his whole bit keeps going. I am so over him
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: that I was just grateful this didn't last too too long,
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: because I genuinely did start to be like, Okay, come
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: on now, and there's a trip down memory lane that
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: Do Flamingo goes down eventually, where he's thinking about Law
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: wanting to work for him, and the way that it
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: went down with Law showing up at his door wanting
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: to be part of his crew and all of these
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: things with like just reminiscing a little bit, and it
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: was sort of funny because like a part of me
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: I was thinking the exact same thing. When it comes
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: back to him at the beginning of the third episode,
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: He's like, what a weird thing to be.
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: Thinking about right now. And there was a little.
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: Part of me in my head as we were doing
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: this that was going, now, we're doing this now. So
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: the fact that he actually acknowledged that I couldn't help
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: but kind of.
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: Loll over a little bit.
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: But yeah, the fact that Law had like kind of
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: been on his side and then like eventually turned a corner.
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: Is interesting, and I'll be curious to see exactly how
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: things went bad. Because the way that Do Flimingo talks
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: about Law, he calls him a hateful little monster. That's
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: the way it's translated in the dub, which is pretty aggressive.
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: I really like saying it like that.
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: I was like, Damn, if fucking Do Flamingo is talking
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: about you like that, I feel like that's got to
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: be pretty severe. So I'm looking forward to seeing.
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: More of Laws overall.
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: Arc and how he changed, but also just what he
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: was like as a kid to make him be seen
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: as a hateful little monster, because damn, I'm curious about it.
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: We also have a little bit more fighting between Fuji,
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: Tora and Sabo. There's not that much going on in
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: that direction, but and the fight between Zorro and Pika
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: is actually like way less than I was expecting. Considering
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: how much we focused on Pica last time, I kind
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: of thought maybe these episodes would be the most focused
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: on sorrow. And there's there's a little touching touching in
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: on the two of them while they're fighting, but it's
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: really not very much.
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: It's just mostly Zoro.
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: Cracking jokes about how, like your swords so big, are
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: you compensating for something? Or jokes about his voice. I
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: think he says, you really like to hear yourself squeak
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: instead of speak, which was a good joke actually, But yeah,
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: so but no, no Nami, no Brook, no Chopper, Like,
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: still have not touch base with those guys at all,
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: So I genuinely have no idea what's happening there. I
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: am super curious what they're up to, because it's a
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: kind of thing that either they are out of the
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: picture right now because they're doing something where they're going
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: to pop up all of a sudden and like we
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: are going to have them join up with our group,
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: and it's like gonna be that they were on the
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: move going into dress Rosa while all this was happening,
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: or they are on a whole different like arc and
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: we're going to hit pause on this and go over
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: to them and do an entirely different thing for a
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: while with them.
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: I personally don't love that idea.
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: Because it feels like it will just bring everything to
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: a grinding halt. But it's not like it's impos psible
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: to pull that off. I just think it's harder. So yeah,
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: we're gonna have to wait and see. I am really
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: curious what they're up to though.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: All right, so I have got to wrap this up. Oh,
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: Seraphim showed.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: There had been nobody here for like almost the whole
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: episode of a Seraphim came to the end. Nice to
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: see a Seraphim. All right, everybody, thank you again so
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: much for listening. I really hope that you are enjoying
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: the coverage. And until next time to Loo motherfuckers. That
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: was an Unspoiled Network podcast two
