  Speaker 1: This is an unspoiled network podcast. This is spoil Me,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: covering one piece episodes six hundred and thirty one through
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: six hundred and thirty three. Full of Enthusiasm, The krita
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: colisseum a dangerous love, the Dancer Girl Violet, a formidable
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: unknown warrior. Here comes Lucy. In these episodes, I am
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: very very much enjoying what we've got going so far.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: I recognize it's early days. Maybe you know. I've been
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: warned that this art goes on a while, but as
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: of right now, I laughed out loud several times in
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: these episodes. I'm having fun. Welcome to spoil Me, Welcome
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: to the show everyone. I am Natasha. Thank you very
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: much to Florian for commissioning this episode. Yeah, y'all, these
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: were so fucking fun. And even though I know that
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: I have had my irritations with Sanji and his nosebleeds
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: in the past, and I stand by all of that,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna I want to talk about what's going on
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: with him first, just because it caught my fancy. Now
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: here's why. Folks who listen to my other podcasts will
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: probably have heard me mention that I am a devout
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: listener to the Snapped podcast, which is basically just they
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: ripped the audio off of Snapped television episodes because it
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: works really really well as an audio only due to
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: how much dialogue there is. You really don't need to
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: be able to see anything for the story to still work.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: So they've just made a podcast out of the old episodes.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: And there's like something like seventeen seasons of the show,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: so there's a lot. And I'm a fan of Snapped
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: because it's about women who kill instead of a lot
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: of true crime, which is about men killing women, which
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: just depresses me. Now still, sometimes the Snapped episodes are
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: also depressing. Sometimes there's domestic violence involved. Sometimes there is
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: like you know, abuse of children, and you know, who knows.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: But the reason that I'm bringing this up is because
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: somebody watching this show who you know, doesn't have the
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: same enjoyment of that type of material might look at
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: the storyline with Soanjy and the fact that he is
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: already basically prepared to commit murder for a stranger and
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: think that doesn't seem real, that that's something that like,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: you know, it's just outside the acceptable realms. And to you,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: I say, please go listen to snapped episodes. Y'all, women
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: are out here getting men to do anything as long
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: as they will fuck them. It is wild the fact
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: that these dudes are as easy to manipulate as they are.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: And a lot of these are guys who have like
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: jobs in the military and stuff. You would I kind
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: of think they would feel like they had more to lose.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: And the number of dudes, and when I say the number,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I can think off the top of my head head
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: of at least minimum three different men who committed murder
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: on behalf of a woman that they were engaged to,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: whom they hadn't even met because they were being played
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: by a woman who was already married wanted her a
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: man out of the way, and then had set up
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: a catfish account posing as an ex of this guy's
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: friend and saying, well, he used to do really terrible
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: things to me and to my kids, and this guy
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: being like, you know what, I'm gonna take him out.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: And the dudes like you just really play on their
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: sort of machismo and their desire to like protect the innocent.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: And these dudes, I will repeat, these are not women
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: that they have met. Even so, the Sanji being willing
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: to throw down for this lady that he just ran
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: into on the street. Actually is coming from a place
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: of more information than a lot of people who committed
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: murder on Snapped. These dudes most Snapped episodes, I would
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: say the vast majority are women paying or convincing men
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: to murder on their behalf. Mostly it's not women actually
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: committing the murder. Occasionally it is, but it's mostly not.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: So just there was something about the confluence here of
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Sanji and this wild lady who I believe is the
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: one who stabbed her boyfriend, and then you know, this
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: whole sort of hullabaloo began. I believe that she is
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: the origin of this, but maybe not. Maybe she's just
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: yet another one of these unstable bitches. But she is
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: introduced in this spectacular fashion where she is doing flamenco
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: on the street, and honestly, you guys, I love me
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: some Spanish guitar, I really do. I'm a real sucker
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: for it. So this scene worked for me. Sanji like
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: falling for her and immediately being willing to do anything
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: worked for me. All of this I am completely on
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: board for. I find it very hilarious. Sonji would absolutely
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: be one of these dudes on Snapped, who is just
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: floored once he realizes that the woman that he was
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: engaged to is actually not a real person, and just
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: it's it's sad, but it's also so foolish that it's like,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I have trouble feeling sorry for you because the abilities
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: is so intense that I don't even relate to it.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: So Ashley Ashley and is in the chat and says,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I never listened to Snap, but after hearing you talk
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: about it a few times, I had to give it
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: a listen and now I'm hooked. It does that these
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: murders are fascinating, and most of the people who commit
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: these murders are so bad at it. You guys, they
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: are so bad at it. It's so funny. And I'm sorry.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: I promise I will stop finished talk. I will stop
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: talking about Snapped within like three minutes. But most murderers,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: they seem to really like think that cops are just
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: not gonna try that hard to catch them. That seems
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: to be like the way that they operate is just going, oh,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: they're not gonna look that hard, and like it's murder,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: they often do look that hard. I'm not trying to
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: say that they're, you know, the type of relentless terriers
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: that they are on television necessarily, but they're gonna do
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: a little something. But what's even funnier, for the sake
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: of the narrative that they have to create for a
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: podcast like Snapped, you've got to set it up as like, oh,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: this man was found murdered, who could have done it?
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: And then they slowly begin to tell you the story.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Even though the episodes are literally titled after the murderer,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: that's they're all named like Joanna Finton, you know, just
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: the name of the person who got convicted. But oftentimes,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: once they actually begin to get into the meat of
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: the story and reveal stuff, you start to realize that
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: there was no doubt who committed this murder from the jump,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Like there was no mystery. In other words, there's like
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: eventually two thirds of the way through the episode, they're like,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: and then we talked to her grandmother, who had been
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: told by the victim, if anything happens to me, it
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: was Joanna who did it. And Joanna had been seen
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: in a bar fighting him and screaming, I'm going to
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: kill you and take all your money, you son of
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: a bitch, Like that kind of thing, Like, there'll be
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: a million things beforehand, so when this person winds up dead,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: there's there's nothing keeping this Johanna from getting caught. I
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: just find that really funny. These people are not subtle.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: You can't let everybody know how much you hate a
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: person if you're planning on killing them. In fact, you
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: got to pretend that you love them. That's the best way.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: So oh, Ashley says, it feels like, listening to those episodes,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: law enforcement won't look that hard if it's not a
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: partner or ex It depends. When I say that they'll
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: look hard. I'm talking about like honestly, very basic level
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: stuff that people miss, and I'm talking shit like that
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: they will text somebody, lol, did you finish the murder yet?
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: That kind of thing, And it's like they weren't gonna
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: I didn't think they'd checked my text messages? Girl? Why
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: did Why would you think that they wouldn't check if
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: text messages? What? So? Anyway, I just wanted to get
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Sonji kind of out of the way because his part
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: of the story. You know, it's most of episode two,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: and this chick has told him nothing about what's going
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: on with this dude. But she tells him that she
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: wants him to kill this guy for her, and it's
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: not like Sonji agrees to do it, But he also
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: doesn't say no, So we don't get like, we don't
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: get enough of him here being like what for me
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: to feel confident in that he would say no. I
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: feel like we just weren't shown him saying yes, because
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: we are we don't want to hear one of our
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: heroes agreeing to commit murder like this so casually, but
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: that it's sort of implied that he has said yes,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: that this is like the way that he's talking about
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: the two of them on the run together, that makes
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: me feel like he is going to be also on
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: the run. You know that he's going to do this
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: murder for her and then they're both going to have
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: to run and hide and that's part of the romance
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: for him. So oh my god, Ashley says, it's regularly
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: the three life insurance policies taken out a month beforehand
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: that gives it away. Literally, you guys, when I tell
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: you that these people are bad at it, I cannot
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: emphasize enough how bad at it they are. It is embarrassing.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: There is one lady who literally had a list that
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: was titled something like things to do before I killed
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Jonathan that she accidentally left on her desk that was
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: like by kerosene by knives, Like I am not kidding,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: that was actually something that happened, and I will never
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: stop laughing about that. And it's such like somebody's dead,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Like it's not funny, but that is funny. That's so
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: it's so combo, incredibly organized and sloppy that I'm just like,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: these things do not go together. How did you even
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: do this? Anyway? So let's back up and we'll talk
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: about the full of enthusiasm, the Krita Colisseum. So we
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: have to pick up where we left off at the
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: end of the last episode, which is to say that
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: we are at this this casino where this blind man
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: is getting played. This was so strange because the blind man,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: it turns out, is actually kind of a badass and
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: I'm able to take care of himself. But also he's
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: evidently somewhat gullible because I wasn't sure within the scene
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: at first whether or not he really believed what he
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: was being told about, how the color was always the
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: opposite of what he had bet and it seems like
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: he really did believe it, that he really just felt
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: like he was on a terrible losing streak, and what
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: a shame. And we also get like the answer because
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: I asked when Florian was on the last episode. I
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: said to him something about like, why is it that
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: nobody else is stepping in to tell him the truth?
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: And it just turns out that the dude doing this
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: is part of the Don Quixote pirates, I believe, and
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: everybody is just too afraid of him to contradict him.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: So we get a final bet on White when they
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: both bet everything, and of course the only person to
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: just say it's White Loofy, and he is still in
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: his old man beard. I really do enjoy anytime that
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: you have got a bad disguise, Like obviously there are
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: gonna be times where bad disguise is really terrible in
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: shows where it's meant to be taken seriously, but in
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: stuff like this, I can't help but laugh. The way
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: that he has black hair underneath this beard and he
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: does not have the body or stance of an old man.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: It's completely ignored. Everybody sees this gray beard and they're
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: immediately like old man done, done so, and you would
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: think that this was unbelievable also, but let me tell
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: you about another thing that I saw that kind of
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: holds up. There is a man who has a TikTok
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: account and he is a bodybuilder, but he isn't like
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: as I don't think he uses like human growth hormone
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: or anything that gets you super bulky. So he is
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: in excellent shape, but he is still like kind of
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: a wiry frame that doesn't look super strong when he
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: is in regular clothing. So this dude puts on costumes
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: and a fake beard and a fake hair and makes
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: himself look like an old man, and he brings a
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: prop of a mop spray bottle and rag things like
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: this to the gym, and he goes around and pretends
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: to be the custodian wiping things down. But he also
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: will move enormous weight out of the way very casually
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: on camera. So he's doddering around looking like he is
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: at least seventy years old. And then there'll be somebody
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: doing deadlifts of three hundred pounds and this guy comes
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: by and is like, do you mind if I just
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: mop under this real quick? And they kind of give
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: him a look like yeah, okay, and he'll bend pick
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: up the whole barbell with one hand and really quickly
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: like mop underneath it with the other hand, and then
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: set it down like it's nothing. And these guys all
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: fall out completely blown away because they are looking at
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: a very fit, thirty something man and they don't see
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: it because he's just dressed and has a very bad
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: by the way, fake beard. Sole Uh. This whole setup
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: is really actually something that can be pulled off, because honestly,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: in daily life, I don't think a lot of us
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: are looking out for fake beards and stuff. We're not
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: really like trained to notice that sort of thing unless
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: we're really looking closely at a person, and we don't
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: often look that closely at people that we pass in
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: the grocery store or on the street, you know. So anyway,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: loofy uh. He keeps on like pushing and being like no,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: it is white, like congratulations, you won everything. So this
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: is when the blind man gets up and he's like
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: gonna take off with all his winnings, and the pirates
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: gather around him in a circle and he says, oh,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: it's a fight, Well, excuse me, do me a favor.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: And please take a step back. And as he's doing this,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Lufy is just eating noodles off to the side. It
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: looks like soba noodles. So this guy, when they don't
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: step back, he says, you're giving me no choice. I
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: have to send every one of them to hell. And
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: these guys come at him now. Some of them attempt
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: to slice him with swords, and those swords don't even
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: touch him, but he doesn't move. It feels like somehow
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: he shifted their blow without having to move. And I
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: don't know if this is meant to be hockey or what.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: There are a couple of blows that he does like
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: defend against with his staff, but a lot of it
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: it just seems like they are nowhere near actually hitting him.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: He knocks pretty much everybody over, and all of a sudden,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: all of these pirates are standing around looking at themselves
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: like they are expecting there to have been wounds that
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: aren't there. And it was sort of difficult because he
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: takes the blade out and he is it seems like
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: slicing the shit out of them, but there's no blood,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: there's no nothing. So once they realize that nothing has happened,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: they all seem to be just sort of befuddled. There's
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: just a sense of like, Okay, well we're fine, but
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: old guys definitely does something to us. Well, maybe you
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: should just let him go because we clearly do not
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: know what it is that we are dealing with. So
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: he begins to walk by them, and like they're mostly
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: standing and okay, but they're just letting him pass. And
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: then there is a pressure that begins to build up,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: so I think maybe they're all just standing there letting
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: him pass because they can't move. It's not totally clear
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: to me. In the moment, there begins to be this
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: effect that they put over the animation where it's like
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: a kind of up and down blur, and this is
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: meant to indicate that they're trying to move. So I
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: was sort of taking it for granted that earlier, when
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: this animation hasn't been doing this, that that's not what's
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: going on, but it may have already started. So these
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: guys are suddenly talking about how they are really heavy,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: and they are pushed down onto the ground as if
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: gravity is suddenly much stronger than it should be. And
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: this is happening as this dude is sliding his sword
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: into its sheath. There's something about that action that seems
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: to be linked to the gravity in the room. I
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: don't know if this is a devil fruit power, or
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: if this is just hockey or what. But as he
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: finishes putting his sword away, the whole floor of this
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: casino just opens up and all of these dudes just
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: fall into a pit. So when he said I'm sending
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: them to hell, he was evidently very literal. That was
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: exactly what he meant. Which this it's just wild. And
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: I love the fact that, of course Lufi is standing
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: there and he is unmoved, utterly unmoved. He has no reaction.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: It's like nothing even happened. Meanwhile, all his friends are
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: flipping out, like what is he doing? What? Who is
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: this guy? So as they're all distracted by this huge hole,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: we see this weird shot from behind Zoro and one
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: of his swords moving, and I thought it was him
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: getting a sword, although it was sort of a weird
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: way to animate that sometimes be like that, so I
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: didn't really think anything of it. These guys are just
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: flattened to the floor at the bottom of this pit.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: This is so funny. Old man continues on his way out,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: saying that there are so many horrible things in the world.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: The fact that he is blind is actually a blessing
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: because now he doesn't have to look at all these
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: terrible things. He uses his stick to feel his way
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: as he leaves the room, and I should mention too that, like,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: he is blind, but he has scars over his eyes
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: and forehead, so this does not seem like something that
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: he was born with. It seems like this was the
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: result of an injury. So as he's leaving, he hands
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: an address to the lady who is like by the
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: till at the front, and tells her to send all
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: the bills for repair to this address. And once he's leaving,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Lufy asks what is your name anyway? And he laughs
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: and says, I guess you could call it second sight,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: but there's something that's telling me, not answering, you would
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: be better for both our sakes. And he just leaves,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: and I am so curious what that is about. Once
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: he's gone, it turns out our guy is he practiced
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: some sleight of hand and pickpocketed a bunch of people.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: This is like, it's so unexpected and it is so funny.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: So he was over here on this roulette wheel somehow
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: managing to like call the color that was going to
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: come up with such unfailing accuracy that that feels like
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: it has to be hockey of some kind. I feel
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: like there's something about he has some kind of ability
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: that is like the supernatural equivalent of counting cards, and
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: like what I'm saying is, yes, it's technically supernatural, but
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: that it's not what that ability should be used for,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Like they are better ways or you know, more interesting
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: things that you could do with it. But if you
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: do want to get like wild at a card table,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: you can, but if they knew about it, they would
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: probably not let you win because carda card counting, I believe,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: is not technically illegal in Vegas. I believe it is
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: just something that will get you removed and blackball from
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: being able to come to any casino if they managed
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: to tell that you're doing it. So that's that's my guess.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: The fact that he did that, and that all their
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: wallets and like Zoro's sword, they're all gone leads me
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: to believe that this dude is a straight up con
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: man of some kind, a grifter. Eventually, somebody claims that
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: it's the fairies that did it. And this dude just says,
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: one of the toys soldiers looks like they stole from everyone,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: but that's what fairies do for fun. And Zorro is like,
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: what the hell are you talking about, and he says,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: fairies are fairies. That's all I know. All you can
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: do is laugh and let it go. Invisible fairies are
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: the guardians of dress Rosa since ancient times, and their
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: ally when they engage in mischief, the only thing to
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: do is turn a blind eye. And one of the
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: other toys is like, well, if it's fairies that stole, like,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: it's okay, then let's just forget about it. If the
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: fairies are invisible, are they saying that, like the man
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: who just left wasn't a fairy, Like they're saying that
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: the fairies is a separate incident that happened from this
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: man and the big sort of you know scene that
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: we just saw. Okay, sure, you know what, I'm not
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: gonna get in the way of a blind man doing
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: his con Go off, King, go ahead. I should also
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: mention too that Zoro's sword is apparently something that's like
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: really valuable to the samurai, so to like their community,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: and it's like a historical artifact. So the fact that
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Zoro has it and does not want to give it
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: up is like an increasing bone of contention between him
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: and the samurai. And he doesn't give any shits and
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: is not planning to hand it over, but he is
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: extremely offended about this being taken and this winds up
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: getting his goat, so to speak, and he separates from
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: the group in order to chase this dude down, which
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: he is taking it. For granted that it is definitely
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: this guy who stole it, it would be very funny
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: if it turns out it's not. I've also been assuming
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: it is, but like if it's a completely separate incident,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: that would be kind of funny. Alana says, I'm from Ireland.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Blaming fairies is so valid. I mean, honestly, this was
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: something that my mom would say. Al So she would
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: whenever he like something kind of coincidental, you know, like
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: we would find something on the street when taking a
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: walk or something, she would be like, oh, that's the fairies.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Things like that. So yeah, the fact that everybody is
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: just sort of immediately giving up Zoro is just not
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: that guy. He is going to make this an issue.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: So Zoro he heads after this man in the most
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: dramatic fashion. By the way, he doesn't just leave out
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: the door. He goes crashing through a window, and it
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: is it's just the most unnecessary thing. It's very much
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: giving like Jake Peralta on Brooklyn ninety nine, where you
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: didn't need to do that, you just did it because
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: like it's the action hero thing to do. Except I
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: don't believe that Zorro is not the same type of
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: like wanting to do something just because it's cool. It's
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: literally just the most direct route out and he did.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: That's all he thinks about this man. HM. So this
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: is when Frankie watching this whole ridiculous thing, is like, Okay,
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: I get it. When our crew is split up, I
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: am the one that has to step up and be
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: the adult because he's watching like Sonjy fly out after him,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: him and then the samurai and he just calls them
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: all show offs, which is fair. Like, again, I don't
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: really think that's the motivation for Zoro exactly, but maybe
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: it is, Like I don't really know Zorro's I don't
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: know how vany is. He takes himself seriously and that's
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: a kind of vanity. But I don't know. So Okay,
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: he sees this pack just dashing down the street. I
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: guess maybe it is completely separate from this guy. It
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: just feels like the incident taking place within the fight,
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: it's the same. Like I feel like it's all connected somehow.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: Maybe my assumption and originally had been like I'm creating
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: this massive distraction by cracking a hole in the floor
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: so that nobody will notice. But maybe it's like just
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: a coincidence. The Faye just came in during this whole
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: thing and just stole a bunch of shit, and there's
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: it has nothing to do with that other guy. I
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: am very curious though, if we ever get to see
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: the fairies what they are going to look like, because
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: this bag looks like it's basically bouncing along the ground.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: It's not actually being held up by anything. If it is,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: that thing is very, very small. So this is when
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: Kinemon's hat comes off and his top knot is exposed,
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: and the kids like yells about how funny his hair is,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: and he gets very self conscious and he goes and
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: grabs the hat again, and we get this weird thing
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: where his hair seems to poke out of his hat
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: and make a new design on the outside. Very odd,
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: but all this is just meant to separate him from
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: everybody else. Zoro, you know, he's at the head of
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: the pack. Sanji is tailing Zoro, but eventually just like
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: literally gives up when he sees a hot girl. And
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: then Kinemon is over here realizing that he is totally lost,
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: and behind him there is somebody watching him from the
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: shadows with like this weird spiked helmet on. So we
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: find one of the uh dudes who this guy fought
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: with out in an alley, the one with the that
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: was like the head of this whole Roulette incident, and
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Loofy is questioning him about you know, where this factory is,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Smile all of that stuff, and this dude doesn't seem
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: to know anything about it, which he is evidently pretty
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: low on the hierarchy. They like would not tell him anything,
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: so finally he's like, uh, he tells them about this
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: tournament that's going to be happening. You know. The reason
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: that this comes up is because they're saying, well, we
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: need to find somebody who would know this information. Where
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: are your superiors? And he's like, good, luck finding anybody
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: that isn't at the coliseum today. That is where literally
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: everybody is heading. If you want high ranking officials, that's
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: the place to go. And he says there's a huge
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: event going on today. All the Famili's leaders should be
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: in attendance watching it go down. The big event everyone's
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: excited for is an occasion no one wants to miss.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: And he says, for whatever reason, the young masters just
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: do Flamingo. He is the one who set all of
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: this up, and he says he's gonna offer such an
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: incredible prize that I was actually doubtful about it when
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: people when it was announced, because it just seems like
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: too good a prize. Of course, Lufy thinks it's meat,
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: But what it turns out it actually is is firefist
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: Ace's devil fruit. The question is how he knows it's
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: firefist aces fruit exactly like it's meant to pop up
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: in a random location somewhere across the world. And I
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: don't know how you know what it is when you
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: find it like which one, because the way I understood it,
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: devil fruits don't have any like external giveaway on what
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: they do, so all I can imagine is that like
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: people for some reason know what the Devil fruit looked
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: like that ACE eight, and so this looks the same.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: But I don't know why anybody would know that, And
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know how you would track down the exact
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: place that it decided to sprout. I mean, granted, it's
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: been over two years since he died, so it's not
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: like you didn't have time to look for it. But
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: just how you would confirm all of this is uh.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: I you know, there's a part of me that is
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: kind of like, it's going to turn out that this
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: fruit isn't anything. I don't think that's probably true. Maybe
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: we'll just get an explanation about that stuff. But uh yeah,
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: when it's revealed that that's what the prize is going
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: to be, I was like, Oh, that is wild. I
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: didn't even consider that he would use this fruit in
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: this sort of way. And I love the fact that,
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: like later on, when Lufy has found out about this,
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: he's like, oh, well, then I am definitely going to
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: enter this contest. That the first thing Frankie says is well,
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: it's probably a trap given the way that he taunted
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: you about it. But also, you really can't miss this
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: sort of opportunity, so yeah, let's go for it. I
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: was so pleased Frankie is not here to rain on
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: Lufy's parade or be like, we have to be cautious
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: about this, but he's also not gullible and just like,
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, what a coincidence. The fact that they are
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: walking into this knowing that this is very likely some
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: kind of trap. I am super interested in seeing what
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: the trap is going to turn out to be. Later on,
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: all of the fighters that have gathered together as well,
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: are like talking to each other about how much likelihood
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: there is that this fight is fixed because getting a
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: devil fruit gives people such incredible powers that there are
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: going to be lots of different countries that are sponsoring
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: people to go in and fight so that they will
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: have like a new soldier who has different abilities. Oh
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: that's right, Alana says. Remember there's a devil fruit encyclopedia.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: It was mentioned in thriller Bark. I did forget about that, Alana,
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: thank you? Yeah, that's like. I still really want more
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: information about this though, like how how do they know?
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: How who compiles this information and how easy to access
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: is it? Is this a commonly printed book that you
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: can get a copy of anywhere. You know, did they
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: print like a devil fruit encyclopedia to buy like in
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: real life? I feel like that would be a really
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: good merchandising opportunity. Obviously I couldn't partake and read it
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: because it would be full of spoilers. But you know,
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: it's sort of on the same lines as me wanting
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: to have the one Piece theme park, which I stand
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: by as being an idea that would make so much money.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: But I'm getting ahead of myself here. So that's how
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: the episode ends, is like Loofy hearing that that's what
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: the prize is, and then the start of the next
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: episode is him kind of losing his shit over the
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: fact that he can't allow anybody else to have this fruit,
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: and it's a great moment. I'll acknowledge too that the
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: fruit has all of these flames on the outside, so
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: like you could take it as just a given, but honestly,
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: because they can like create artificial devil fruits now due
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: to the way that Smile works, still kind of felt
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: like you don't you still don't know that it's real,
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: though you know it could be an artificially created devil fruit.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: It could be something that's just like, you know, made
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: of wood and carved to look like a devil fruit.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: What they're just there's a lot of uh, there's a
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: lot of ways that you could make this into a scam,
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: is all I'm saying. So then the guy who's like talking,
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: he's what, what's the word I want? I guess the
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: host of the uh the Colosseum gladiatorial fights, he is
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: really giving the dude from those Mel Gibson movies, Max,
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: you guys know the ones I'm talking about that Fury
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: Road was based off of. He's just got this really
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: intense voice to him and he there are all these
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: screens up as well, so they're introducing all of the
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: different people who are going to compete. We have got
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: Senor Pink. I'm gonna just say right now, Senor Pink
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: makes me deeply, deeply uncomfortable. Brauh has a woman's arms
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: wrapped around him up against him like in the photo,
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: but he also is wearing a pink ruffled bonnet, a
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: pink and white polka dot kerchief tied around his neck,
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: aviator shades, and he has a pacifier in his mouth
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: and a very small nose and very big lips with
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: extremely shaggy dark hair protruding from underneath. I don't like
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: this at all. I am not here to kink shame anybody.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: I don't want to say this first, however, there are
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: some kinks that really make me feel a little queasy.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: And any time that you have got a person who
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: is pretending to be a child, it's just gonna be uncomfortable.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: And I get it that there's like dynamics there and
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: whatnot that are you know, that's part of what makes
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: it like a fun taboo thing. But also if and
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: when it is like a dude who enjoys being treated
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: like an actual infant, I have a real hard time now.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: I see that this man it's not necessarily a kink,
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: but this is just like his look. I would like
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: to say, that's worse. You get how that's worse, right,
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: I don't like it. So this is mm mmm, send
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: your pink. I hope you die very quickly. Fen Dellinger,
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: who looks like a sort of unclear on the gender
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: then I don't know, like if that name goes with
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: a particular gender or not, but they have a they
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: have shaggy blonde hair, they're wearing what looks like a
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: baseball cap with horns that are attached to it, pink earrings,
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: and the collared shirt and they have their finger over
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: their upper lip like you're trying to do a pretend
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: little mustache lou ge who just looks like a pretty
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: badass old fighter dude a match vis match fise I
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: don't know how you say his and then the call
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: SM's reigning hero and this is Diamante, So uh, this
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: is this is who we are up against, and the
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: way that this is done. Diamante's the like, you know,
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: paint over like down both sides of his face. It
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: looks like he's wearing a hat that has horns coming
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: out of it, but you can't see enough of it
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: to really tell. He has much more of a close
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: up in his photo. So the crowd is getting antsy,
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: and it's just like, let's see this first match come on,
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: and we go back to Loofy where he is hearing
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: about the way that the devil fruit will when somebody
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: dies suddenly re sprout somewhere, and Loofy kind of loses
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: it for a second and he says, like, you're not
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: getting anywhere near that fruit Frankie says, Oh, yeah, didn't
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: you have a brother named Ace? Guys? I am so
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: confused by this. Why doesn't Frankie know intimately and for
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: certain that Lufy has a brother named Ace and that
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: he is dead. He says it like they've never discussed
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: Ace and for sure, like he does not know Ace
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: is dead. Louvi hasn't told anybody. Are you serious, dude?
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, even if he didn't, it would have been
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: in the news. There's news about everything all the time.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: I would have definitely thought firefist Ace being killed would
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: have made it to the papers. I am so lost
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: by the fact that Frankie reacts this way. I thought
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: for sure that his first reaction when he heard that
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: they had the Devil Fruit was going to be like,
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: oh shit, you know, like he would know that Lufy
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: wanted a piece of this, And instead he has very
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: little reaction, and I was sort of like, why isn't
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: he And then it turns out like he doesn't apparently
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: even know anything, which I don't get how you don't
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: find out this information. It's also like Lufy literally has
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: this wound on his chest because he was trying to
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: protect Ace. A massive wound in the center of his
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: chest that almost killed him. It wouldn't come up in
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: conversation why he has that huge scar, like Zoro having
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: the scar that nobody knows. I understand Zora doesn't talk
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: about shit, you know, And if somebody asked where to
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: get the scar, I could see Zorro just saying none
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: of your business and then being like okay and just
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: dropping it. But Loofy, he's the leader and the whole
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: thing I just again really would have thought would be
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: well publicized. I am really baffled by this. Ashley says
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: he never met him though, so maybe he doesn't know
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: about Ace's devil Fruit. Maybe he might think it could
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: be a different Ace. I don't see it. I mean,
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: I just don't see that Lufy talks about his brother
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: Ace and it's not mentioned that he's firefist Ace, Like,
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Elana says, Frankie never met Ace, but yeah,
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know why he's so casual about it. I
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: don't know, because Frankie definitely saw Loofy praying at Marine
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: Ford in the news. This is what I'm talking about. Like,
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: we know that they all read the news because that's
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: the way that Lufy got the alert out to meet
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: in two years, that they read the paper and stayed
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: up on things. So it's just a really strange moment
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: that makes it feel like Lufy hasn't shared anything that
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: he went through with anybody, And even if he didn't,
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: you would expect everybody to be aware of it at
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: the least and just respect that he doesn't want to
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: talk about it, sure, but they would know the basics
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: of what happened there. It's just so odd, and you know,
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: considering like so much of the way that this show
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: is structured and the lessons that it has, they all
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: sort of revolve around being friends and honoring friendship and
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: having each other's backs, and so for there to be
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: this weird disconnect where Frankie seems to be completely unaware
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: of the most tragic thing that ever happened in Lufy's
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: life that was really since he was on the crew,
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: it makes it feel like they are not good friends
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: after all. And I don't think that was the intention,
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: but that's how it felt reading it. You know, I
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: was just completely confused by this. I just it may
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: not it may be it was supposed to be kind
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: of nothing, and I'm making too much of it. Maybe
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: it's a translation thing and in the translation it's like
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: sounding really casual, and in the original it doesn't sound
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: this way. But whatever the case, it just really made
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: me stop and go, I'm sorry. What Ashley says, Lufy
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: is weirdly quiet about his personal life, though, considering how
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: long it took for the straw Hats to learn Garp
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: was his granddad, maybe Lufy doesn't open up like that.
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, maybe he doesn't, but again, they should know anyway,
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: because it would have been talked about. It would like this,
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: all this information was happening and in the news while
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: it was. We literally had like a film crew set
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: up that was taking live footage from the battlefield at
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: the War of the Best and pumping out the live
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: footage to the masses to see the fight as it
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: was happening there there. This is like one of those
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: sorts of things that I don't think you could get
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: away from seeing, like the Twin Towers, you know, that
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: kind of level of thing where there's just constant footage
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: of it from a bunch of different angles, and everybody
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: was watching and glued to the set at the same
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: time and seeing the thing so yeah, it just I
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: don't This just doesn't make any sense to me. It's
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: a really weird thing, and I I don't know if
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: maybe it's supposed to be more of a relection reflection
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: of Frankie, and maybe it's like he is supposed to
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: know and this is just him being a dupe and
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: not remembering something hugely important. And that's kind of the joke,
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: is that like, oh, yeah, didn't you have a brother?
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: But it doesn't really work in context, because like this
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: is such a serious and terrible loss for Lufy that
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: him being like, oh yeah, I forgot about that. Again,
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: that's not something that you would joke about. That's not
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: like a friend joke. That just feels shitty to just say.
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: So anyway, I just I wanted to stop and ask
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: about this, and you know the fact that both of
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: you don't really have an answer for me. I'm I'm
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: really curious anybody listening what you think about this, because
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: I genuinely want there to be an explanation and otherwise
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: this feels like a bizarre thing to do. Anyway, when
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: Lou like, I want it that fruit should be mine,
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: and he yells and he says this like to Frankie
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: in this very firm way, and Frankie just stares back,
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: and the two of them just kind of lock eyes,
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: and then Frankie starts laughing, and Lufy says he chills out,
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: laughs also and says, yeah, uh, you could eat it.
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: You don't have any powers. And it's this abrupt turn
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: from him being like really possessive and angry to then
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: laughing and again laughing in this moment. I think what
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: it's supposed to be is that Lufy gets so emotional
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: and angry so quickly that what Frankie does is sort
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: of diffuse the situation by laughing, you know, and kind
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: of being like, hey, bud, okay there, you know. But
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: just all together with the fact that Frankie didn't seem
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: to know what was going on in the first place,
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: it all does not work. This conversation felt extremely weird.
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: It felt like everybody had a different scriptu and was
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: having a different conversation. But yeah, basically, the conclusion that
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: Lufy comes to is I need to get that fruit
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: because there's no goddamn way that some random is going
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: to be walking around with the same power that Ace had.
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: And Frankie doesn't want to eat it because he does
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: not want to lose his ability to swim. I was
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: sort of thinking, like, who is the person that I
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: would want to eat the you know, flame flame fruit?
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: And I don't know, you guys, I guess Nammy. I
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: don't know. Like I feel like with Nami it would
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: work best with her like weather powers somehow, like there
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: might ways that you could combine that. But we are
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: like Chopper's already eaten one Sonjy has his like magical
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: kicking power, and I feel like that's good enough. We
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: don't need anything more than that. Zorro has his incredible swordsmanship.
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: There could be us Up, but part of Usup's charm
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: is that he is like a scrappy guy who is
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: working with very little. If he eats a devil fruit,
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: it would really change the dynamic there, and that's not
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: a bad thing necessarily. It would be interesting, but I
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: kind of don't. The question is very much, how radically
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: do I believe this show is willing to change what's
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: going on with the crew? And I feel like maybe
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: with a show that is this long running, a manga
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: that's this long running, maybe you do want to like
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: dramatically change it. Up. If this were something else, I
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: would think we're definitely not doing this. Nobody is going
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: to wind up eating it. But sometimes I think that
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: maybe if there's like a sort of dead spot in
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: the narrative and you have to inject some life into it,
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: maybe doing something like this would be the way to
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: do it. I don't know. Ashley says, we watched this
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: episode and discussed this as well. I would like Lufy
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: to just hold on to it for a while and
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: if he can pull a black Beard, maybe then he
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: could have Aces as well. Yeah, that was sort of
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: what I was thinking, was like, maybe there's a way
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: for him to like get both powers. But and I
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: would prefer that in a way because of you know,
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: Lufy and Ace's like connection with each other. But I
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: also would like, like one of the straw hats that's
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: sort of underpowered to get more of a fight advantage.
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: I feel like, really it's not me that I would want,
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: and I just don't really see that happening. I think
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: also that the way that a personality sort of seems
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: to align with the devil fruit in a way not
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: necessarily always, but like Loofy being a boy made of
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: rubber now means that he can basically snap back from anything.
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: Stuff does not affect him, and he is Lucy Goosey,
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: And if that is not his exact personality, like being
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: rubber is the perfect metaphor for what his personality is,
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: like an ace being somebody who had a hot temper
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: and took like really went hard and was very passionate.
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: The fire made total sense, not me. I don't feel
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: like fire makes as much sense with her personality. So
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: I'm just trying to think, and I don't know. I
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: don't know. So anyway, this is the scene where we
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: have the Flamenco dancer and Soanji watching her, just absolutely
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: enthralled and again this Spanish guitar, it's so good. She
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: tosses a rose into the crowd and Soanji catches it
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: and stares at it like it's this like unbelievable prize.
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: I love that at this point he has like caught
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: up to Zorro, and so it should be that their
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: issue is kind of over, but he gets so sidetracked
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: by this woman that he doesn't notice that Zorro has
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: taken off again, and once he does, he's just basically like, oh, well,
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: I tried and he just like leaves it, which I
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: have to confess I did find very funny because just
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: the idea of like, ah, well, you know, I put
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: a lot of effort into that, we had a good run.
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: Oh well, he even thinks this is the perfect chance
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: to leave him behind on this island. I mean, I
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: tried to catch him. Nobody can argue with that. Its
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: like songie, I am disappointed in you, sir. So this
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: is when he's walking down Lover's Lane and sees that
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: there's a bunch of like couples and everybody is making
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: him jealous. And then all of a sudden, the Flamenco
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: dancer runs up to him and says, embrace me in
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: a romantic fashion, and it's because she's trying to hide
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: from the police. Of course, at first he doesn't get
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: that's what's happening. And her just running up and saying,
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: I need your help, Please hold me in a romantic
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: embrace seems to be the answer to all of his
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: wildest dreams. So she wraps her arms around him and
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: it seems like she's kissing him. It's unclear I think
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: she is. But uh, this was very funny because there
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: are so many like bits in different pieces of fiction
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: where people who like kind of are into each other
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: but like not really confessing it to one another have
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: to pretend to be in a relationship or pretend to
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: make out, and then it like you know, makes things
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: all weird and awkward. So she doesn't like her telling
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: Soanjy that she did a stab doesn't really seem to
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: face him too much. He's just so delighted that she's
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: so passionate. Uh, And she just says, you're okay with stabbing,
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: which is a very funny sentence. His face is pouring blood,
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: by the way, and when he finally backs away from
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: her and like the ground, She's like, oh my god,
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: did I hurt you? Like, what is what is happening here?
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: That is a lot of blood And he's just like
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: it's nothing, and she leans in close and says it
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: must hurt. And again, I've fallen off a cliff into
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: the bottomless abyss of love. So I've pretty much talked
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: about what's going on with him. We'll just go over
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: to the samurai who was still like running around trying
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: to figure out where the hell he is. Sanji. He
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: takes over a restaurant to make a meal for her
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: and kicks these guys out in a fashion that was
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: honestly very funny because these dudes are sitting in this
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: kitchen full of dirty dishes, the place is very grubby,
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: and the two dudes who work here do not give
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: a fuck, and he has his little beard on still,
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: so him just casually being like, I'm gonna cook a
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: meal for the most beautiful woman alive as they come
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: at him with like broken bottles and stuff, with this
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: fucking beard on, It's very funny, so let's see. Okay,
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: I am just realizing, you know what, I'm not actually
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: that mad about it, though I was about to say
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: I'm out of time and I haven't talked about the
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: final episode of the three, but honestly it's not. There's
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: not that much to it because this final one is
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: when Lufy has to sign up for the challenge, and
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: he looks like an old man, so they don't even
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: want to let him do it, but he insists he
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: isn't going to let anybody know who he really is
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: and signs his name Lucy. He starts to write Lufy,
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: even though they just talked about this, but then changes
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: it to Lucy, so now he's walking around with the
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: name Lucy Sure, and he goes into the area where
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: all of the fighters are kept waiting, and of course
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: they're all these like hulking beast men, and then Lufy
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: comes in at maybe a tenth of their size and
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: looking old as hell. So somebody immediately picks fight with
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: him because they feel like it's an insult that he
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: is even here, and Lufy lays this dude out almost
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: gets disqualified for it. But then somebody else steps in
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: and defends him and is like, no, that other dude
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: just picked a fight that he couldn't fucking handle, so
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: he should be disqualified even though he is unconscious. This
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: was one of the moments where I had my laugh
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: out lad moment. It was the line delivery, because one
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: of the guys said, you don't know if he'd beat him,
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: maybe the guy just like tripped over himself and fell,
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: and his friend replies that wouldn't embed him into the
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: ground with like that exact sort of inflection, and it
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: cracked me up. I was dying, you guys, oh my god.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: So we don't actually get the start of the fight,
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: of course, yet there's also this weird little like wind
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: up toy man, and he and Frankie have a little
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: bit of an encounter, and this dude has a vendetta
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: apparently against the the Don Juan Pirates, the don Quixote Pirates.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: It's the don Quixote Pyrus, right, There's something going on
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: with him, and he and Frankie sort of become buds,
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: which makes a lot of sense because he is a
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: toy and Frankie being so mechanical, there's probably a lot
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: of like shared interests that they could potentially have. And
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: let's see he says, oh yeah, Frankie is asking him,
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: like about the the factory, and this guy keeps shouting
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: and Frankie is like, how do you turn your damn
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: volume down? Oh my god, I'm a let's see. If
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: you don't know, can you tell me anything about the
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: smile factory? You want to know about the factory? It
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: with his hands waving in the air. This guy's funny. Eventually,
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: when they say that he is very serious, he seems
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: to take that almost personally, like, I, no, toys are
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: meant to be fun. There's no such thing as a
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: serious toy. And I was like, there are men across
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: the world with giant cars that would disagree with you,
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: But I digress. So yeah, that's pretty much where we
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: leave things, is that we're going to have a like
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: Battle Royale style opening rumble in a very Hunger Games
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: sort of vibe, and then those who are going to
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: be standing after that in the different blocks are going
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: to be the ones that continue forward. So I'm looking
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: forward to seeing that. And Lufy gets himself a big
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: rig of all of this extremely heavy armor and whatnot.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: But this dude strolls in with this blonde hair named Cavendish,
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: and he insists that he is supposed to get the
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: fruit because such a beautiful power should go to somebody
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: who is as beautiful as him, and Cavendish is so
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: much He's just I'm very very eager to see how
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: he does in a fight, I really am, because all
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: I can think of is like Boa Hancock and the
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: fact that she could just look at people and make
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: them just not want to attack her or fall in
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: love with her. And Cavendish straight up looks like a woman.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: Like his animation style. This is the exact kind of
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: animation that they use on all the women. So this
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: dude is not it at all to me. But clearly
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: for the sake of this. All the ladies are very
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: into him, and even some of the mail guards are
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: like damn as he walks by. So I guess we'll
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: have to see what kind of fighter Cavendish is. Yeah,
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I uh, I'm interested, though, Guys. I'm
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: looking forward to a fight where Lufy is seen as
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: an old man too, because like he can't use his
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: devil fruit powers. That's the whole thing is that they
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: are all supposed to not have powers yet, and that's
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: why they're fighting, to guess some So watching him try
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: not to use them, I mean, it's loofy. If this
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: weren't what it is, I would think that he would
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: forget immediately and use his powers almost instantly, and everybody
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: would figure out who he was because he's so careless.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: But because this is for something that Ace had, I
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: feel like he may take this more seriously and actually
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: managed to keep it under wraps. We'll see, We'll see,
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: but I am over time, so I have got to
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: wrap up. And thank you again to Ashley and Alana
