Speaker 1: This is an Unspoiled Network podcast. This is spoil Me,
0:08
Speaker 1: covering one piece episodes eight hundred and six through eight
0:13
Speaker 1: hundred and eight, The Power of Satiety. This is Me
0:19
Speaker 1: learning to pronounce that word for the first time, a
0:23
Speaker 1: new Gear four form tank Man, a heartbreaking duel Loofy
0:28
Speaker 1: versus Sonji Part one, and then a heartbreaking dul Loofy
0:32
Speaker 1: versus Saudi Part two. In these episodes, I'm sad. I'm
0:38
Speaker 1: a sad girl. I don't like to see my friends fighting.
0:41
Speaker 1: This makes me so sad. I know that Sonji doesn't
0:45
Speaker 1: mean it, but still, Welcome to spoil Me. Welcome to
1:08
Speaker 1: the show everyone. I am Natasha. Thank you very much
1:11
Speaker 1: to Bernadette for commissioning this episode. And Bernadette is here
1:15
Speaker 1: in the chat says not caught up with the coverage,
1:17
Speaker 1: but had time to join today. Hi glad to see
1:20
Speaker 1: you you guys. Just full disclosure, I don't think that
1:26
Speaker 1: this is going to affect my recording, but I started
1:30
Speaker 1: to get a pretty awful migraine and like I almost canceled,
1:36
Speaker 1: and then I took a medication and it seems to
1:40
Speaker 1: have really helped, but it will sometimes leave me. I
1:45
Speaker 1: feel like slurring my words is sort of exaggerating what
1:48
Speaker 1: it is, but it'll make it. It causes I guess
1:51
Speaker 1: it's called aphasia where speaking you know what I mean,
1:54
Speaker 1: So if I sound weird might be that and I don't.
2:02
Speaker 1: I think I'm okay, but that can happen sometimes, and
2:04
Speaker 1: it's just I just don't like being reminded that I'm
2:08
Speaker 1: like a prisoner in my own body and it can
2:11
Speaker 1: kind of do whatever, and I don't get to control that.
2:14
Speaker 1: So that's never fun. But I feel a lot better,
2:18
Speaker 1: and I'm glad because I just really didn't want to
2:20
Speaker 1: push these recordings off until tomorrow because I have a
2:23
Speaker 1: lot to say about everything I'm covering today. I have
2:27
Speaker 1: hit some pretty important sections in all my properties. So
2:34
Speaker 1: let's see. Sarahim says, big mom is really trying to
2:37
Speaker 1: keep you from getting to talk about this invasion of
2:39
Speaker 1: her territory. Yeah, she is behind it, Florian, as always,
2:45
Speaker 1: you sound lovely. Thank you, Florian. It's so funny to like,
2:49
Speaker 1: you know, I know a lot of people are very
2:51
Speaker 1: self conscious about the sound of their voice. I feel
2:53
Speaker 1: like that's kind of gone away some now that we're
2:55
Speaker 1: in a culture where people are recording themselves very frequently.
2:59
Speaker 1: But I have like utterly forgotten, like how anybody feels
3:06
Speaker 1: about my voice. It's I used to get compliments on
3:10
Speaker 1: it when I first started the show, and I was
3:12
Speaker 1: very like aware of it, and then you know, just
3:15
Speaker 1: Florian saying that. Now I'm like, oh yeah, sometimes people
3:18
Speaker 1: say they like my voice. I forgot about that, Bernadette.
3:23
Speaker 1: Bodies are semi useless flesh sacks. I love mine. The
3:27
Speaker 1: clumsy idiot, Bernadette. That is such a good attitude. The
3:33
Speaker 1: clumsy idiot pat it on the head. You're doing your best, sweetie.
3:36
Speaker 1: I know, I know, baby, you're trying. That's what I'm
3:41
Speaker 1: gonna do. Thank you for that, for that perspective, Bernadette.
3:47
Speaker 1: So this section, I'm gonna kind of talk about everything
3:52
Speaker 1: as a group, because these episodes are very they're expanded
3:57
Speaker 1: by lots of flashbacks with it's sort of weird. Actually,
4:02
Speaker 1: at one point they flashed back to the scene that
4:05
Speaker 1: we just flashed back to last episode or last section,
4:09
Speaker 1: I guess, so I really was sort of like, Okay, guys, no,
4:13
Speaker 1: but we know that we know this because you just
4:15
Speaker 1: reminded us. We don't have to do this all again.
4:19
Speaker 1: But it's Okay, it's fine. I just really hate whenever
4:25
Speaker 1: you have somebody who's put in a position where they
4:28
Speaker 1: feel like they have to behave a different way than
4:32
Speaker 1: what they actually are like and what they believe and
4:36
Speaker 1: where they want to be. It's always like, especially in
4:42
Speaker 1: the case like this, where Sanji I think is just
4:49
Speaker 1: trying to get his family's guard down. I don't believe
4:54
Speaker 1: that he is really into being a royal now like
4:59
Speaker 1: just saw all of us sudden turned a corner and
5:01
Speaker 1: buys into any of this. I fully think that Sanji
5:04
Speaker 1: is saying what he needs to say in front of
5:06
Speaker 1: his family because he thinks all of his friends are
5:09
Speaker 1: going to get fucking crushed and he wants them to
5:13
Speaker 1: stay out of it for their own safety. And I
5:16
Speaker 1: fully respect that, but I also feel like there's like,
5:23
Speaker 1: this is the problem when you have a friend that's
5:26
Speaker 1: like as good as Lufy is, you aren't going to
5:31
Speaker 1: be able to say anything to get them to fuck
5:34
Speaker 1: off because they are just a ride or die, And
5:38
Speaker 1: like that is exactly what winds up happening is we
5:41
Speaker 1: get to a place where Lufy just straight up is
5:44
Speaker 1: like I am going to stay here until you fucking
5:48
Speaker 1: come to your senses because there is no damn way
5:53
Speaker 1: that I am going to keep going without you. It
5:56
Speaker 1: is simply not happening. You are one of us, and
5:58
Speaker 1: that is that. That is the end of the sentence.
6:01
Speaker 1: And there isn't really a right move when it comes
6:08
Speaker 1: to what to do in a situation like that. If
6:12
Speaker 1: you have a friend who is just determined to have
6:14
Speaker 1: your back through thick and thin and you really want
6:18
Speaker 1: them to like stay out of it and mind their business,
6:22
Speaker 1: there's not like what argument can you possibly make. So
6:26
Speaker 1: I kind of felt for Sanji here because I get
6:28
Speaker 1: the I if I'm going with my theory, which I am,
6:34
Speaker 1: I understand the motivation behind the choices that he's making,
6:39
Speaker 1: but I just feel how futile they are, and I
6:44
Speaker 1: know that it's just killing him. I know Lufy doesn't
6:47
Speaker 1: buy it either. Like Lufy, there's just a sense. Even Nami,
6:52
Speaker 1: she comes up and slaps in, but it feels more
6:54
Speaker 1: like we're slapping you because you're being an idiot. I
6:57
Speaker 1: don't believe what you're saying either. I'm just irritated that
7:01
Speaker 1: this is the way you were deciding to play it,
7:03
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, and considering what Sanji has
7:11
Speaker 1: recently learned about the fact that his family is like
7:15
Speaker 1: first of all, that his own family is all engineered.
7:21
Speaker 1: Is his father included in that? Actually? I guess I
7:25
Speaker 1: would say, like his siblings are all engineered, But is
7:28
Speaker 1: his father or is he just a regular human that
7:31
Speaker 1: just happens to be massive. The sizing of people in
7:38
Speaker 1: this world just keeps throwing me off because that guy
7:40
Speaker 1: is huge, but his kids are like normal looking, So
7:43
Speaker 1: I don't know. Sorry, Saraphim says. For all Lufy can
7:49
Speaker 1: be a huge dump dumb most of the time, he
7:51
Speaker 1: actually has some amazing emotional intelligence and ability to cut
7:54
Speaker 1: through the bullshit to get what someone's true feelings are. Yeah, definitely, No,
7:57
Speaker 1: his dad was the one who figured out how to
7:59
Speaker 1: do it. Okay, that's what I thought. But just considering
8:04
Speaker 1: what he has learned about the what his family is
8:07
Speaker 1: capable of, I can't help but understand Sanji feeling like, oh,
8:14
Speaker 1: I'm not letting them get anywhere near this, like no way.
8:18
Speaker 1: But also you know your friends, and you had to
8:23
Speaker 1: know leaving a little note and saying don't come after me,
8:27
Speaker 1: I'm taking care of this myself. Was not going to
8:29
Speaker 1: do the job. Bro, Like you had to know, So
8:34
Speaker 1: I love it. Of course, this is like Lufy's entire
8:40
Speaker 1: m o. I am here for it every time. But
8:46
Speaker 1: I really do sympathize with the person that's on the
8:49
Speaker 1: receiving end of this like unending loyalty, because it's not
8:54
Speaker 1: convenient when you just want people to like let you
8:57
Speaker 1: be self destructive or whatever. You know. I mean, this
9:01
Speaker 1: is the thing about having friends that actually have your
9:04
Speaker 1: back versus people who will just sort of like say
9:07
Speaker 1: what you want them to say. Real friends call you
9:11
Speaker 1: on your shit and slap you up if they need to,
9:16
Speaker 1: in order to remind you that you don't get to
9:19
Speaker 1: pull this kind of bullshit with them. You can play
9:23
Speaker 1: act all you want, but they are not somebody to
9:26
Speaker 1: play with. And I love that. I love that about Loufy.
9:30
Speaker 1: I love that about like all the straw hats. They
9:32
Speaker 1: all have had moments of just like okay, stop it,
9:37
Speaker 1: get it together, get it together, stand up, you know,
9:40
Speaker 1: like that kind of moment. And that's friendship. That's what
9:44
Speaker 1: it is. It's everything. So I'm, like I said, I'm
9:51
Speaker 1: kind of jumping around here on a lot of stuff,
9:54
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna back up a bit and start at
9:56
Speaker 1: the beginning when I did my intro, I said the
9:59
Speaker 1: power of satiety, which again does not I always thought
10:04
Speaker 1: it was pronounced say shitty. I had no idea satiety.
10:10
Speaker 1: That does not sound right to me, but I believe you.
10:13
Speaker 1: I did see though, when I when I searched power
10:19
Speaker 1: of satiety, because I was looking for the pronunciation. He
10:26
Speaker 1: says it at the beginning of the episode with the title.
10:30
Speaker 1: I was like, is that the real pronunciation? And it
10:33
Speaker 1: came up that this is alternately called the power of
10:36
Speaker 1: a full stomach. And personally, that's like a way better title.
10:42
Speaker 1: The power of satiety that does not feel like anything,
10:46
Speaker 1: the power of a full stomach. Come on, man, that's
10:50
Speaker 1: just like, so that's that's much more visceral, and I
10:53
Speaker 1: mean that on every level. Just call it that. What
10:56
Speaker 1: are we doing? Stop? So anyway, I get my wish
11:02
Speaker 1: in terms of loofy, like being able to use the
11:10
Speaker 1: uh what do you call it? The energy from the
11:14
Speaker 1: biscuits to power. But this is a different thing than
11:22
Speaker 1: what I was expecting. He key, so this is fourth gear,
11:28
Speaker 1: but he already was in fourth gear. So this is
11:32
Speaker 1: a new form that he can take within fourth gear.
11:38
Speaker 1: Is that right? So fourth gear has bounced man, and
11:42
Speaker 1: then if he's got a full stomach, tank man. This
11:49
Speaker 1: is very encouraging, are e the likelihood of Loofy being
11:56
Speaker 1: victorious in a place where everything is edible. That feels
12:04
Speaker 1: like finding out that you have a new form that
12:07
Speaker 1: you can use at this time. It could not be
12:11
Speaker 1: better timing. I'm here for it. But when I said,
12:16
Speaker 1: it doesn't really go where I was expecting in terms
12:19
Speaker 1: of using up the energy, what I mean is I
12:22
Speaker 1: was sort of expecting it to be the kind of
12:23
Speaker 1: thing where Loofy is superpowered in his movements because of
12:30
Speaker 1: the energy, but that it like kind of wears off
12:33
Speaker 1: as he's working it off, so to speak, and that
12:36
Speaker 1: his body would shrink as he was like fighting, And
12:40
Speaker 1: really he pretty much stays the same size because like
12:43
Speaker 1: he balloons up, he becomes humongous, and he stays that
12:49
Speaker 1: size until way later he winds up like passing out
12:53
Speaker 1: of sleep, and him and Nami are riding on Boum
12:57
Speaker 1: to hole Cake Palace. Is it wholekeep? I can't remember
13:04
Speaker 1: Chateau Chateau. I keep forgetting that they're calling it that.
13:08
Speaker 1: But he's like still that size for quite a while
13:12
Speaker 1: on that ride. Over and then eventually you start to
13:14
Speaker 1: see him shrinking down and he becomes normal sized by
13:17
Speaker 1: the time they get there. So it was just interesting
13:20
Speaker 1: how it worked because it was like I was on
13:22
Speaker 1: the right track, but the manifestation of it was just
13:26
Speaker 1: really different. So Saraphim says, Yep, he's got multiple versions
13:31
Speaker 1: of gear for. This was something that fandom was heavily
13:33
Speaker 1: theorizing about when he specified bounce Man in dress Rosa.
13:38
Speaker 1: Do you mean, Saraphim, that they were theorizing about there
13:42
Speaker 1: being multiple versions of gear for, or that they were
13:44
Speaker 1: theorizing about him eating and being bigger and using that
13:51
Speaker 1: as like and what they might be Okay, gotcha, Yeah.
13:56
Speaker 1: I I the whole idea of like the different gears
14:01
Speaker 1: is sort of still not super clear to me. It's
14:07
Speaker 1: like I'm getting it. It seems like it's just sort
14:09
Speaker 1: of he uses the rubber man ability in a very
14:14
Speaker 1: specific way with each gear, and that powers him in
14:17
Speaker 1: a certain direction, and so Gear four is just him
14:22
Speaker 1: overall becoming really big. Is the impression that I'm getting.
14:28
Speaker 1: I may be wrong about like exactly what the basis
14:31
Speaker 1: of gear four is, but I what the way that
14:37
Speaker 1: he winds up handling. This is what he becomes big
14:46
Speaker 1: enough that his attacks are super powerful, but like it's
14:50
Speaker 1: not like punchy attacks. It's I am going to accept
14:57
Speaker 1: your attack, absorb you into my body. And I say absorbed.
15:04
Speaker 1: That's not quite right. But like when Cracker attacks him,
15:08
Speaker 1: he shoves in his weapon and it gets stuck in
15:12
Speaker 1: like the belly folds of Loofy, and he can't get
15:17
Speaker 1: it back out again, and it like the more he's
15:20
Speaker 1: pulling on it, Loufy pulls him in. And then at
15:24
Speaker 1: this point, you know, we still have the Biscuit soldiers,
15:27
Speaker 1: the last ones that Cracker had made, and Nami is
15:30
Speaker 1: getting ready to draw rain down on them again in
15:34
Speaker 1: order to soften them up, and Lufy tells her, hey,
15:37
Speaker 1: I need them to stay hard because for the plan
15:39
Speaker 1: that I've got, So don't do that. Just give me
15:41
Speaker 1: a second. And he just.
15:46
Speaker 2: Basically like like exhales and pushes this belly out and
15:52
Speaker 2: shoots Cracker so hard that he goes through all his
15:57
Speaker 2: own soldiers, a pretty.
16:00
Speaker 1: Good number of the innocent bystander homies and I say
16:04
Speaker 1: innocent with an asterisk obviously, and gets shot all the
16:10
Speaker 1: way over to almost the chateau, like at the chateau.
16:14
Speaker 1: They hear the commotion and see him land outside. That
16:19
Speaker 1: is incredible. Look as somebody who has a belly the
16:27
Speaker 1: idea that I could use it this way, it's very encouraging.
16:32
Speaker 1: It's inspiring. I wish, I really do. And I just
16:38
Speaker 1: anytime that there is a sort of weapon that uses
16:43
Speaker 1: the offensive in an equal and opposite reaction that like
16:49
Speaker 1: rebounds on the person who is attacking, it's just so elegant,
16:53
Speaker 1: you know. I always like that. So this is it's
16:56
Speaker 1: not really quite that, but it's close enough that I
17:00
Speaker 1: really enjoyed it. So so when Cracker lands outside, it
17:09
Speaker 1: had just been like a minute ago that Big Mom
17:13
Speaker 1: is being informed that some of her other what are
17:18
Speaker 1: the times, because there's like three dudes that are sort
17:22
Speaker 1: of the and I feel like one of them is
17:24
Speaker 1: called Smoothie. I can't remember what the name of the
17:29
Speaker 1: other the third one is are they like generals or
17:33
Speaker 1: like commanders? But it's like there's three dudes that are
17:37
Speaker 1: sort of directly beneath her in the hierarchy, I think,
17:41
Speaker 1: and Cracker is one of them. And so she hears
17:44
Speaker 1: that like two of them are on their way, and
17:47
Speaker 1: she's just wondering aloud. I wonder how it's going with Cracker,
17:51
Speaker 1: and everybody's like, oh, I'm sure he'll have Lufy. I'll
17:53
Speaker 1: handle like he'll bring Lufy's dead body to you shortly.
17:58
Speaker 1: Don't worry about it. Sweet General slash Commanders. I think
18:05
Speaker 1: I like Sweet Commanders. Sweet General for some reason is
18:11
Speaker 1: making me think of like a brand name. I think
18:13
Speaker 1: it maybe is General Mills coming in there. Oh my god,
18:17
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Sarah. I'm put like an explanation for the
18:19
Speaker 1: gear for gear whatever. It's just your basic shown in
18:23
Speaker 1: power up system like Supercyan Bonk, Super Ultra six Path whatever,
18:28
Speaker 1: Ninja Motor, whatever Naruto does, et cetera. Sarah, m you
18:32
Speaker 1: are adorable. If you think that meant anything to me,
18:39
Speaker 1: all of that could literally be made up and I
18:43
Speaker 1: wouldn't know it. But you know, I get what you're
18:47
Speaker 1: saying is just that you know there are different levels
18:50
Speaker 1: that people can fight at and this is a common thing.
18:53
Speaker 1: But it's just funny because all of the examples that
18:55
Speaker 1: you gave them, just like, I do not know what
18:57
Speaker 1: that means. The other the only thing that like I
19:02
Speaker 1: think of is not really proportional, because I'm thinking of
19:07
Speaker 1: like Pokemon evolutions, and that doesn't work because those are
19:10
Speaker 1: permanent once you've evolved something that's like what it is?
19:13
Speaker 1: So yeah, but I'm guessing like Naruto isn't isn't a
19:21
Speaker 1: Ruta from uh dragon Ball? I almost said Powerball? You guys,
19:25
Speaker 1: this is how like not connected with this? I am?
19:28
Speaker 1: Is that? Where that that saying I often see like
19:33
Speaker 1: tossed around. This isn't even my final form? Is that?
19:36
Speaker 1: What that comes from? Is like they always say that
19:40
Speaker 1: because there's another form that they've got up their sleeve.
19:42
Speaker 1: Basically if so, oh if not, well I was close.
19:51
Speaker 1: Probably Naruto is from Naruto? So sorry you guys. Everybody
20:01
Speaker 1: listening who knows this stuff is probably just like what
20:04
Speaker 1: are you doing? Watching one piece? I'm here because you
20:08
Speaker 1: all apparently want me here. I don't know what to
20:11
Speaker 1: tell you. Oh man, the final form thing is dragon Ball?
20:21
Speaker 1: Okay okay? Uh is Naruto the thing where where people
20:27
Speaker 1: run with their arms straight at their sides? Like this
20:30
Speaker 1: is what I'm talking about, guys. When when I say
20:32
Speaker 1: that I don't know anything, I know like memes, you know,
20:36
Speaker 1: and that's all I know. That's like the osmosis thing. Uh,
20:40
Speaker 1: Naruto is the Ninja anime. Okay, I I don't know
20:46
Speaker 1: about like him being Ninja. I just know that somebody
20:50
Speaker 1: will be running weird with their arms straight, and people
20:53
Speaker 1: in comments will say, why are they running like Naruto though,
20:57
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. So that's what That's what I know. Oh,
21:00
Speaker 1: you know, not not super helpful. Oh man, I'm sorry, everybody.
21:07
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. So okay, So Bro lands outside
21:12
Speaker 1: and everybody goes out to be like, what was that
21:16
Speaker 1: literal meteor that just landed in our yard? And they
21:20
Speaker 1: find Cracker Bro is fucked up, Like Loofy just destroyed
21:30
Speaker 1: this dude. It's so weird because, like, we have seen
21:33
Speaker 1: guys get destroyed by Loofy before, but there is something
21:39
Speaker 1: about this one that really hits for me. And I
21:43
Speaker 1: think maybe it's the fact that he traveled so far
21:47
Speaker 1: away that people who had no idea the fight was
21:51
Speaker 1: even really going this way are suddenly faced with like, oh,
21:56
Speaker 1: he lost like in a vacuum, you know what I mean.
22:00
Speaker 1: There's it's different for somebody to like fall in front
22:04
Speaker 1: of Loofy and have the like white eyes and be
22:08
Speaker 1: covered in like scratches and bruises. It's a different thing.
22:12
Speaker 1: When this guy travels like a quarter mile, it's like
22:17
Speaker 1: a weather event, him just landing, you know, bizarre, And
22:23
Speaker 1: yet they can't even get him to talk, like it's
22:28
Speaker 1: just accepted that they are in some trouble. Everybody fully
22:34
Speaker 1: thought Cracker was going to be able to take care
22:36
Speaker 1: of Loofy as a threat, and not only was he
22:40
Speaker 1: not able to take care of Loufy, he got his
22:43
Speaker 1: entire ass handed to him. So if we've got the
22:48
Speaker 1: other sweet commanders, can you tell me what the other
22:57
Speaker 1: one's name is, because you've got Cracker and Smooth the
23:01
Speaker 1: I feel like they say the other one and I
23:03
Speaker 1: can't remember. I'm trying to imagine exactly how this works
23:07
Speaker 1: because Cracker, now granted, the fact that he's called Cracker,
23:13
Speaker 1: really doesn't work. It should be Cookie. He should be
23:16
Speaker 1: called Cookie, and then he could call his soldiers biscuit
23:20
Speaker 1: soldiers and it would still kind of work. Him being
23:22
Speaker 1: called Cracker and having biscuit soldiers. It doesn't like, I
23:26
Speaker 1: don't think that. I feel like that's a translation thing
23:29
Speaker 1: and somebody just didn't make a good call there. But
23:34
Speaker 1: it's still related enough. When you hear that somebody is
23:38
Speaker 1: named Cracker, I would think Okay, maybe they can do
23:41
Speaker 1: something with bread like substances, and so that's you know,
23:46
Speaker 1: with smoothie, I instantly think of blended fruit drink type things,
23:53
Speaker 1: which I am not sure if this dude cook cracker
23:58
Speaker 1: could make biscuits out of nothing. And I'm trying to
24:03
Speaker 1: think about what somebody with a smoothie power could do
24:06
Speaker 1: besides just making smoothies. Like if it's just I'm using
24:11
Speaker 1: smoothies and I make soldiers out of liquid, I mean,
24:15
Speaker 1: that's not nothing, but it's so similar that I feel
24:19
Speaker 1: like that's not likely to be how it works. And
24:23
Speaker 1: I am just kind of drawing a blank trying to
24:27
Speaker 1: come up with this. You know, Katakori is the third one,
24:32
Speaker 1: says Sarah Fem. Okay, that's why I didn't remember, because
24:37
Speaker 1: it's not the name of a food that I recognize.
24:42
Speaker 1: It may be the name of a food in Japanese,
24:45
Speaker 1: but it just wasn't translated to anything in English specifically. Okay,
24:50
Speaker 1: So I'm just sort of curious. My assumption that I'm
24:57
Speaker 1: I'm operating on right now is that every single commander
25:06
Speaker 1: Lufy is going to have to fight before he fights
25:09
Speaker 1: Big Mom, and that might not be true. Actually, I
25:13
Speaker 1: don't know. I've been sort of feeling that in terms
25:18
Speaker 1: of the way that things go standard with the show.
25:24
Speaker 1: Normally I would say each of our friends has to
25:28
Speaker 1: fight these commanders, but that we don't have the entire
25:31
Speaker 1: crew with us, because if we had everybody with us,
25:35
Speaker 1: absolutely I would expect like Zoro and Frankie to be
25:39
Speaker 1: split off and have to deal with other guys. We
25:43
Speaker 1: do have our friends split up, but only in two groups,
25:48
Speaker 1: and one of them is much less in like a
25:51
Speaker 1: place where they're going to be fighting at least for
25:53
Speaker 1: right now. At least for right now temporarily, because we
25:58
Speaker 1: see the witch Brulet like dragging in that what was it,
26:07
Speaker 1: the crocodile and the rabbit into the mirror world, So
26:12
Speaker 1: I guess they're going to be fighting, maybe sooner or
26:15
Speaker 1: rather than later, but it's yeah, so I'm interested. Maybe
26:20
Speaker 1: those like commanders won't actually be a factor until later.
26:25
Speaker 1: Maybe it won't be like Lufy has to fight the
26:27
Speaker 1: mini bosses to get to the main boss. You know
26:30
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Seraphim says, Katakori is the name of
26:36
Speaker 1: a type of flower made from a plant of the
26:39
Speaker 1: same name. That is so interesting. I'm always really fascinated
26:45
Speaker 1: when I hear about foods that I have no familiarity with,
26:48
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of them. There's a whole lot
26:51
Speaker 1: out there that I have yet to try. And I
26:53
Speaker 1: wish that I had more money just purely to go
26:56
Speaker 1: to like different restaurants, but I can't forward to try
27:00
Speaker 1: a lot of things. It's unfortunate, but I had never
27:06
Speaker 1: heard of Okay, look, I'm so sorry, guys, but I
27:09
Speaker 1: have to kata corey and I'm gonna just put flour
27:13
Speaker 1: so that I don't get any one piece spoilers. Oh,
27:17
Speaker 1: it's made from potatoes, so pokata corry is. I wonder
27:21
Speaker 1: if it's like a specific type of potato or if
27:25
Speaker 1: it's just potatoes in general. And it's used to thicken
27:31
Speaker 1: things sort of in the same vein as like corn starch.
27:36
Speaker 1: And it's also used as a batter on fried foods
27:41
Speaker 1: and to make noodles, So basically potato starch straight up. Okay,
27:50
Speaker 1: I am so going to try this. Yeah, definitely. It's
27:58
Speaker 1: also to prevent foods from sticking, such as daifuku and mochi.
28:04
Speaker 1: So when you get mochi and it's like got that
28:06
Speaker 1: powder on it, that's the one that it's potato starch
28:12
Speaker 1: that they're using for that. This is so interesting. You
28:17
Speaker 1: have to temper it when you add it to soup
28:19
Speaker 1: to thicken the soup, it will clump up, apparently like
28:23
Speaker 1: regular flower does. So mix it in cold water in
28:25
Speaker 1: a separate bowl and then pour it into the soup.
28:31
Speaker 1: For kara g I don't know if I'm pronouncing that right.
28:33
Speaker 1: It's spelled ka r aa ge and deep fried foods.
28:38
Speaker 1: I highly recommend using potato starch instead of corn starch.
28:42
Speaker 1: It'll give a wonderful crispy and crunchy texture. This is
28:44
Speaker 1: from just onecookbook dot com and they have a bunch
28:49
Speaker 1: of They have some recipes that are specific for using this.
28:56
Speaker 1: That is so interesting, guys. I ah, I love learning
29:01
Speaker 1: about this shit. I don't know what I should do
29:05
Speaker 1: about it. If there's just like an an international food
29:08
Speaker 1: course I could take. I'm reading a book on my
29:11
Speaker 1: downtime right now. I'm actually physically reading it, not listening
29:14
Speaker 1: to it, because it's a book that is centered around
29:21
Speaker 1: a Filipino woman and her family who own a Filipino
29:27
Speaker 1: restaurant and the number of foods that they just mention
29:31
Speaker 1: in reel Off that I have literally never heard of,
29:34
Speaker 1: and I want to try. Like things sound so good
29:37
Speaker 1: and I haven't even heard of these things. There's so
29:41
Speaker 1: much out there, and I just want to know. And
29:45
Speaker 1: I wish that there was like a course that I
29:49
Speaker 1: could sign up for that I could afford and just
29:52
Speaker 1: be like led through, Like here are the foods that
29:54
Speaker 1: they use this ingredient for. Try all six varieties, you know,
29:58
Speaker 1: something like that where you get really held by the
30:00
Speaker 1: hand and shown all the ways something is used. I'm
30:03
Speaker 1: into it. Karaj is how it is pronounced, I believe,
30:08
Speaker 1: says Bernadette. Oh my god, that food tangents everybody is
30:13
Speaker 1: celebrating in the chat. Well, I'm glad that you actually
30:15
Speaker 1: are interested in the food tangents because sometimes I feel
30:18
Speaker 1: like this is just for me, but I hope that
30:20
Speaker 1: it's interesting because like, I don't know how many people
30:23
Speaker 1: listening actually know this stuff either. There's plenty of stuff
30:26
Speaker 1: that I know from experience. I will be consuming pop
30:31
Speaker 1: culture and there will be something mentioned and I won't
30:34
Speaker 1: go and look it up, and I'll just let it
30:35
Speaker 1: wash over me, and it's like literally years later, I'll
30:38
Speaker 1: find out, oh that meant something, you know, like probity
30:42
Speaker 1: probes in Harry Potter. I did not know the word probity.
30:46
Speaker 1: I had no idea that was a real word. So
30:48
Speaker 1: I thought she was just doing like probe twice. And
30:52
Speaker 1: it turns out it's like a really great name because
30:54
Speaker 1: it's probody probe. Like, look, I hate her, but that
30:58
Speaker 1: was a pretty good one. Florien says, I never thought
31:02
Speaker 1: about Kategory's name. Yeah. So, like if we're talking about
31:06
Speaker 1: category as a potato starch, which you know, I don't
31:13
Speaker 1: what this is, basically, I'm assuming is going to be
31:16
Speaker 1: just kind of like a flower based sort of ability.
31:24
Speaker 1: Flower is I wonder about this with potato starch specifically,
31:29
Speaker 1: even though we may not be following those rules in
31:33
Speaker 1: this universe. But oh, Sarahim says, he is the Minister
31:38
Speaker 1: of flower. Okay, so I don't know how many people
31:42
Speaker 1: know this, but flower is volatile and will explode not
31:51
Speaker 1: super easily, but a lot more easily than you would think.
31:57
Speaker 1: And it was the reason for a like particularly horrific
32:01
Speaker 1: fire that happened in a factory where I believe it was,
32:06
Speaker 1: you know, in the fucking twenties or something at a
32:09
Speaker 1: time where they would actually change shut the doors of
32:13
Speaker 1: like factories and shit with their workers inside. And I
32:18
Speaker 1: can't remember because I feel like the name of that
32:20
Speaker 1: fire was quite famous. But flower is when it's like
32:27
Speaker 1: in the air, is super dangerous. You really do not
32:33
Speaker 1: want to be around it because like a tiny spark
32:36
Speaker 1: can just ignite everything. It's crazy to me, actually that
32:41
Speaker 1: that is how that works, because I would just never
32:44
Speaker 1: expect it. And it's something about the like static that
32:47
Speaker 1: it creates. I don't know, but it's that could be
32:53
Speaker 1: a pretty interesting attack from a flower based uh like
33:00
Speaker 1: ill set. So maybe that's it. Oh, Seraphim says he
33:07
Speaker 1: is the Minister of Flower, like pudding is the Minister
33:10
Speaker 1: of chocolate. I don't think I knew she was the
33:13
Speaker 1: Minister of chocolate. Seraphim did. They must have mentioned that
33:17
Speaker 1: and I just forgot. Oh, she's the Minister of chocolate.
33:22
Speaker 1: I love that so much. What a great job. Can
33:27
Speaker 1: you imagine? Guys? I'm sorry slight other food tangent, but
33:33
Speaker 1: some of you maybe saw there was something circulating that
33:37
Speaker 1: I also have shared a few times. There are really
33:41
Speaker 1: dangerously high levels of lead in a lot of commercial
33:46
Speaker 1: ground cinnamon out there, and Consumer Reports did a an
33:51
Speaker 1: investigation on what brands had how many parts per million
33:56
Speaker 1: and posted results and recommendations for which brands seemed the safest.
34:02
Speaker 1: Like one of the most easy to access and safest
34:06
Speaker 1: brands was the Whole Foods three sixty five brand cinnamon.
34:10
Speaker 1: It is wild, though, that whether something is organic or
34:15
Speaker 1: not had no effect on how much lead was in it,
34:18
Speaker 1: so that's no guarantee of anything. It turns out chocolate
34:25
Speaker 1: is super high in both lead and cadmium a lot
34:30
Speaker 1: of the time, and I mean lowest quality Hershey chocolate
34:36
Speaker 1: is particularly high. But I was genuinely kind of shocked
34:40
Speaker 1: at some of the brand names that I saw on
34:42
Speaker 1: that list because I expected those to be you know,
34:45
Speaker 1: we've got some fair trade stuff that's on the list
34:49
Speaker 1: that I know they are are monitoring things more than
34:53
Speaker 1: the average chocolate brand, and I was thinking they would
34:56
Speaker 1: not have this issue at all, and it's something that
34:59
Speaker 1: evidently they can't all have like as much control over sometimes.
35:05
Speaker 1: But I just wanted to warn everybody. Go check out
35:08
Speaker 1: the consumer reports, the one for the spices, and the
35:11
Speaker 1: amount of lead in both spices and dried herbs, the
35:19
Speaker 1: top offenders were. I was blown away by this ground
35:25
Speaker 1: time and dried oregano. I never thought that herbs would
35:31
Speaker 1: be at all an issue, but there was not a
35:35
Speaker 1: single brand that Consumer Reports tested of dried time or
35:40
Speaker 1: regano that wasn't above the limit in that stated in
35:47
Speaker 1: California for lead. Apparently California is the only state that
35:53
Speaker 1: really gives a shit, and the rest of US abide
35:55
Speaker 1: by a legal level that's a lot higher. So anyway,
36:02
Speaker 1: the Consumer Reports for the spices and herbs was from
36:05
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. It's a little older. I don't know
36:08
Speaker 1: what kind of changes have happened since then, but the
36:11
Speaker 1: ones for chocolate that was only twenty twenty three and
36:14
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four that they updated that, so that's a
36:17
Speaker 1: lot more recent. So anyway, guys, I just wanted to
36:19
Speaker 1: mention it because I was a little freaked out. I
36:22
Speaker 1: was surprised at how many brands weren't safe that I
36:25
Speaker 1: really would have thought would be higher quality stuff, and
36:30
Speaker 1: things that were I literally had in my pantry that
36:33
Speaker 1: I went in and threw away. And this is all
36:36
Speaker 1: based on the accepted serving size of that spice as well.
36:41
Speaker 1: So if you're somebody like me who uses a lot
36:44
Speaker 1: more spice than the average person, you're getting even higher
36:48
Speaker 1: levels of these heavy metals in your food. So just
36:52
Speaker 1: be aware and do what you can to avoid adding
36:58
Speaker 1: yet another fucking thing to your system. Sorry, Florian says,
37:06
Speaker 1: we Swiss eat nineteen point four pounds of chocolate a
37:10
Speaker 1: person a year. Is that higher than the US? I'm
37:16
Speaker 1: going to guess it is that we probably have like
37:20
Speaker 1: a variety of candy that we go for more than
37:23
Speaker 1: even chocolate. Bernadette, not me running to Google to figure
37:26
Speaker 1: out if this is the problem in the EU. Also, yeah,
37:28
Speaker 1: apparently they're like every country, of course, has its different
37:33
Speaker 1: acceptable levels. But there was like some sort of lawsuit
37:37
Speaker 1: that came from a watchdog company in general, and they
37:43
Speaker 1: required a certain limit and a lot of these companies
37:47
Speaker 1: are staying below that limit, but that limit is quite
37:50
Speaker 1: high and if you are consuming you know, this was
37:54
Speaker 1: an issue that kind of came to light because a
37:56
Speaker 1: bunch of kids were suffering from weird symptoms that they
38:01
Speaker 1: discovered eventually was lead poisoning due to eating this prepackaged
38:07
Speaker 1: apple sauce. They ate a lot of it every day,
38:10
Speaker 1: and that apple sauce used cinnamon that was super high
38:15
Speaker 1: in lead. And it's a weird thing where with like chocolate.
38:19
Speaker 1: That lead is accumulated from the environment surrounding where the
38:23
Speaker 1: pods are and gets like on the outside of the pod,
38:26
Speaker 1: and then when they are ground up, it's just mixed
38:29
Speaker 1: in but with spices. A lot of the time that
38:33
Speaker 1: lead is added on purpose to increase the weight so
38:36
Speaker 1: that it will be more profitable. And one of the
38:42
Speaker 1: companies that was found out further investigation brought to light
38:47
Speaker 1: that they add lead specifically to shipments in countries where
38:52
Speaker 1: their standards are lower, and they sent one of those
38:57
Speaker 1: shipments intended for a different country to us by mistake.
39:02
Speaker 1: So they make it less safe to make more money
39:07
Speaker 1: to places that don't require So it's a it's a
39:11
Speaker 1: great example of why we need regulations. Anybody who complains
39:14
Speaker 1: about things being overregulated is insane because if they aren't regulated,
39:18
Speaker 1: that's exactly what they will do, is they will had
39:21
Speaker 1: more lead to make money. They don't fucking care, they
39:24
Speaker 1: just don't. So anyway, sorry to go on this tangent, guys,
39:29
Speaker 1: but you know food Florian says, we are the highest
39:35
Speaker 1: in the world when it comes to eating chocolate. Oh amazing.
39:39
Speaker 1: And tip the chocolate that was the highest in lead
39:43
Speaker 1: tended to be chocolate that was highest in percentage of
39:46
Speaker 1: overall cacao. So if it was like an eighty percent bar,
39:50
Speaker 1: it was going to be much more likely to be
39:52
Speaker 1: higher in lead than like milk chocolate because it's coming
39:56
Speaker 1: from the cacao. So the more cacava is in the bar,
39:58
Speaker 1: you know, so probably if you eat dark chocolate for
40:03
Speaker 1: it being healthier, rethink that, look up the brands that
40:08
Speaker 1: are actually healthier, and proceed from there, Sarahim says, And
40:15
Speaker 1: this is why you should just live in total land
40:16
Speaker 1: and give Big Mom a portion of your life. She
40:18
Speaker 1: cares about food standards. Yeah, it's a look. I the
40:23
Speaker 1: whole idea that Big Mom is like I want to
40:25
Speaker 1: make everybody a giant so that we can just have
40:27
Speaker 1: a tea party is honestly a whole vibe. I can't
40:30
Speaker 1: even be that mad about it. I want to be
40:34
Speaker 1: I want to be like girl that's wrong, But like
40:37
Speaker 1: then they'll get invited to a big tea party. I
40:40
Speaker 1: don't feel like they're gonna be that mad either, probably
40:43
Speaker 1: be pretty fun. M So okay, getting back to everything,
40:51
Speaker 1: I'm trying to because there's so many things that I
40:54
Speaker 1: have sort of like talked about in a general way,
40:58
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just brief talk about Chopper and Carrot because
41:03
Speaker 1: there's not a lot going on with them in these episodes.
41:06
Speaker 1: But like Brule catches up with them, they wind up
41:09
Speaker 1: running away, and she, like I mentioned, brings in that
41:14
Speaker 1: crocodile and the rabbit to like chase them down. I
41:18
Speaker 1: am sort of puzzled at the fact that she's like
41:21
Speaker 1: right next to them a couple times but seems to
41:23
Speaker 1: be unable to like stop them in you know what
41:27
Speaker 1: I mean. And they're trying to get Sanji's attention. At
41:31
Speaker 1: one point, they're in the same hallway with him and
41:36
Speaker 1: he does not see them and they have to just
41:38
Speaker 1: like watch him walk away. So I was thinking that
41:42
Speaker 1: they were going to be audible from the other side
41:46
Speaker 1: of the mirror, because they are audible, like when Nami
41:49
Speaker 1: picks up the mirror that she has with her, she's
41:52
Speaker 1: got like a shard of it. She can still talk
41:55
Speaker 1: to them through that. But evidently they're not able to
42:01
Speaker 1: either be loud enough because they're worried about attracting attention
42:05
Speaker 1: from other people, or they come through more quietly than
42:10
Speaker 1: I was thinking. And like I said, a lot of
42:17
Speaker 1: this episode when we are with Sanjy is just spent
42:21
Speaker 1: with him thinking about his life, and we get a
42:25
Speaker 1: flash It's so funny, you guys. We get a flashback
42:29
Speaker 1: of that dude who came in with the worst villain
42:34
Speaker 1: of all time, don Kreeg. I hate this. It was
42:38
Speaker 1: so weird to watch this flashback with the dub voice
42:44
Speaker 1: actor as well, because I watched it back when I
42:48
Speaker 1: was still doing the subtitles. By the way, I just
42:52
Speaker 1: so prefer the dub at this point. I can't even
42:54
Speaker 1: tell you, but I will say that the voice actor
42:58
Speaker 1: they chose for Don Kreeg for the dub, it's a
43:02
Speaker 1: weird choice. He has like an oddly high pitched voice.
43:06
Speaker 1: There's just something about the voice that doesn't fit, and
43:09
Speaker 1: he seems it makes him seem like less of a
43:14
Speaker 1: threat somehow, and it reminded me just how boring Don
43:20
Speaker 1: Kreeg is. I was watching this and Marshall happened to
43:23
Speaker 1: walk into the room and I was like, Oh, yeah,
43:28
Speaker 1: this flashback it's about to dun Creek is going to
43:31
Speaker 1: show up the worst villain of this whole show. And
43:34
Speaker 1: he was like why, and I was like, because he's
43:35
Speaker 1: literally so boring. His whole thing is just like I've
43:37
Speaker 1: got lots of guns, and Marshall sort of laughed, and
43:41
Speaker 1: then as soon as I press play again, it's Don
43:44
Speaker 1: Creek being like weapons that are, you know, the strongest,
43:48
Speaker 1: are what make you survive, And instantly Marshall was like, oh, yeah,
43:53
Speaker 1: this guy sucks, and I just could not stop laughing
43:56
Speaker 1: because it was just it was so immediate that like, yeah,
43:59
Speaker 1: fuck this dude. But yeah, So we get this flashback
44:05
Speaker 1: and just the reminder of the first time that Sonji
44:10
Speaker 1: ever spoke to Lufy, where Lufy is just watching soany
44:15
Speaker 1: literally like feed an enemy because he has that much
44:19
Speaker 1: principle about people not going hungry that whether or not
44:23
Speaker 1: that dude was a hazard to him and his people,
44:28
Speaker 1: oh well, you know, he's starving to death, and so
44:31
Speaker 1: we're still going to give him some food. And I
44:33
Speaker 1: had forgotten that. It's like Lufy is watching that whole exchange,
44:38
Speaker 1: and it's not the way that, like a lot of
44:41
Speaker 1: times when TV is portraying that a main character is
44:47
Speaker 1: watching something happen, we're sort of seeing it from over
44:49
Speaker 1: their shoulder or from their POV, and that's not what
44:54
Speaker 1: happens in this. It's like we're just with Soanji, and
44:57
Speaker 1: he's just going about his business eating this guy, and
45:01
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, Loofy speaks and the camera
45:04
Speaker 1: turns to him, and he's been keeping his eye on
45:06
Speaker 1: things the whole time, which I kind of like because
45:09
Speaker 1: there is a sense of when the camera is in
45:13
Speaker 1: a different place there you almost wonder, like, does the
45:18
Speaker 1: person know they're being observed? Am I supposed to interpret
45:22
Speaker 1: this as them being like aware they're being watched as
45:27
Speaker 1: they do this, And it was just very very clear
45:31
Speaker 1: that's not what's happening here. Sanji has no idea anybody's
45:34
Speaker 1: paying attention, and he's just doing what he thinks is
45:37
Speaker 1: right without any care about whether or not somebody is
45:41
Speaker 1: watching and judging. So oh, sorry, Bernadette. The cocoa plant
45:50
Speaker 1: leach is letting cadmium from the ground. Naturally, That's why
45:52
Speaker 1: tobacco is so bad. It absorbs radioactive material, which when
45:56
Speaker 1: you inhale it starts giving you cancer. For coco, it
45:59
Speaker 1: depends on what soil the plants grow in, yes, And
46:02
Speaker 1: that's part of the thing, is like there are apparently
46:07
Speaker 1: some brands that are stricter about the quality of the
46:11
Speaker 1: soil the plants are grown in, which is you know,
46:14
Speaker 1: and the filtering of the water that they are watered
46:18
Speaker 1: with as well, and I am sure it is a
46:22
Speaker 1: massive undertaking to make the kinds of changes necessary to
46:26
Speaker 1: lower the lead levels. They're also working on breeding cocoa
46:29
Speaker 1: plants that absorb less lead. So but that's you know,
46:34
Speaker 1: fucking years from now probably that that'll start to be
46:36
Speaker 1: a thing. But anyway, okay, so that's pretty much like
46:42
Speaker 1: Sanji isn't doing much this episode until Lufy shows up.
46:48
Speaker 1: It's just him in the carriage reflecting, and we have
46:52
Speaker 1: like the carriage with him in the middle, seeded between
46:57
Speaker 1: his brothers and his father like facing him, I think,
47:02
Speaker 1: and he's given the instruction to like wave to people
47:07
Speaker 1: and greet them because as they're traveling down the road,
47:11
Speaker 1: everybody knows where he's going and why he's going there.
47:14
Speaker 1: They all know that this is like the wedding procession
47:16
Speaker 1: starting basically, and they are all very excited. And his
47:20
Speaker 1: father wants him to lean into his role as a
47:25
Speaker 1: royal who is about to get married, that this is
47:28
Speaker 1: supposed to be kind of like a spectacle for everybody,
47:31
Speaker 1: and that he knows that, and so you have a
47:34
Speaker 1: performance that you need to do, and Sanji is just
47:38
Speaker 1: super not interested. He is he's here doing the thing
47:45
Speaker 1: because he feels like he has to in order to
47:48
Speaker 1: not get his friends hurt. But his cooperation to this
47:53
Speaker 1: point is as much as he's really willing to do,
47:56
Speaker 1: and so being asked to go even further and behave
47:59
Speaker 1: as if he's enjoying this is a whole other ask
48:02
Speaker 1: and he's just like, I'm not fucking come on, man.
48:06
Speaker 1: It's just very funny because he won't. But then when
48:10
Speaker 1: Lufy shows up, Key behaves as if he is leaning
48:16
Speaker 1: into it, and I was like, well, then you better
48:18
Speaker 1: start waving, my guy. I also can't get enough of
48:22
Speaker 1: how he is in this special outfit for the wedding,
48:27
Speaker 1: but he has still got his cigarette in his mouth
48:29
Speaker 1: that's never going away. I'm just imagining him literally walking
48:33
Speaker 1: down the aisle smoking a cigarette, and it is giving
48:37
Speaker 1: trailer park boys so much. And I just find that, like,
48:41
Speaker 1: I really will be surprised if he doesn't have the
48:45
Speaker 1: cigarette at the wedding. I'm very hopeful that he will
48:49
Speaker 1: still have it. And then we have Loofy show up
48:58
Speaker 1: and he like it's funny because the way that he
49:03
Speaker 1: is behaving about this is sort of earlier, when he's
49:09
Speaker 1: talking to Nami about the way that Sanji handled leaving.
49:14
Speaker 1: He says something like, he just left us a stupid note,
49:18
Speaker 1: and he thought that we were just gonna let him
49:21
Speaker 1: go off and we weren't going to end Movie's one
49:24
Speaker 1: hundred percent right about that. Like, Sanji, I understand why
49:29
Speaker 1: you did it the way that you did it. I'm
49:31
Speaker 1: not mad at you, but you had to know that
49:35
Speaker 1: they were coming after you, like there's just a given
49:38
Speaker 1: of course they will. And I guess it was simply
49:42
Speaker 1: dependent on how long it took for the rest of
49:47
Speaker 1: the crew to defeat Do Flamingo because he gets taken
49:53
Speaker 1: by uh, what's his name? Oh my god, I keep
49:59
Speaker 1: forgetting his name, the one that's capone, but they call
50:02
Speaker 1: him like Benji or something. That all happens while they're
50:08
Speaker 1: still Undress Rosa, right, while Lufy and the rest of
50:11
Speaker 1: the crew is in capone Beje so Sara faim right right, right, right.
50:18
Speaker 1: So maybe if like things on Dress Rosa had taken longer,
50:24
Speaker 1: he would have had time to get married before they
50:28
Speaker 1: were able to catch up. But as it has shaken
50:32
Speaker 1: out here, they are so Lufy runs right up to
50:35
Speaker 1: the carriage. There's no there's no attempt at secrecy or
50:43
Speaker 1: stealth at all, And I'm not mad at it because
50:48
Speaker 1: that time has passed, like the whole thing that they
50:50
Speaker 1: had set up. I liked that there is In the
50:56
Speaker 1: conversation with Nami, Lufy says something like he didn't meet
51:00
Speaker 1: us at the beach like Putting said, So I don't
51:04
Speaker 1: know if it was a trap or if I or
51:09
Speaker 1: if like something has just gone wrong. I don't know either, guys.
51:15
Speaker 1: I have really been like giving it a lot of
51:22
Speaker 1: credit that storyline with Putting and that she actually is
51:26
Speaker 1: trying to help them and us. Seeing how she has
51:30
Speaker 1: been surrounded by people in order to like put together
51:34
Speaker 1: her wedding clothes and whatnot, does give credence to the
51:38
Speaker 1: idea that she was simply unable to get away there.
51:42
Speaker 1: There was just simply no way that she was going
51:44
Speaker 1: to be able to meet up with Sangi and smuggle
51:46
Speaker 1: him out. She is constantly surrounded by folks and not
51:51
Speaker 1: free to do what she wants. So I am still
51:55
Speaker 1: believing that this was in good faith and she didn't know.
51:58
Speaker 1: She wanted to help, but she simply couldn't do it.
52:02
Speaker 1: But there is the possibility that she sent them knowing
52:09
Speaker 1: it was a trap, and she really wants to marry
52:12
Speaker 1: Sangy and is excited to be doing this stuff with
52:16
Speaker 1: all the wedding clothes because she is fully intending to
52:20
Speaker 1: go through with the wedding. It may be that like
52:24
Speaker 1: pudding is bad actually, or at least just selfish, and
52:29
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be mad about that as like a plot development.
52:32
Speaker 1: It would be kind of interesting. I personally hope that's
52:36
Speaker 1: not the case, but I did appreciate Lufy being willing
52:40
Speaker 1: to give the benefit of the doubt on that and
52:43
Speaker 1: sort of be like, we don't know exactly what's going on.
52:45
Speaker 1: It could it's not necessarily that we were double crossed,
52:49
Speaker 1: because Lufi just does that. He is somebody who gives
52:52
Speaker 1: the benefit of the doubt even when people don't really
52:53
Speaker 1: deserve it, you know. And I am still siding with
52:58
Speaker 1: putting four now until further notice. But him running straight
53:05
Speaker 1: up to the carriage like under other circumstances, I might
53:08
Speaker 1: be kind of like, what are you doing? But there's
53:11
Speaker 1: just no point in trying to sneak him out. Now
53:15
Speaker 1: he is surrounded by people, even more so than before
53:19
Speaker 1: when he was in the castle, there was some occasional
53:21
Speaker 1: privacy in his own rooms, you know, but he is
53:25
Speaker 1: not only surrounded by family here. There's also like the
53:29
Speaker 1: whole crowd of commoners that they're driving through, and there's
53:33
Speaker 1: whatever guests are invited to the wedding. So trying to
53:38
Speaker 1: be sneaky now it's just not there's no point. So
53:42
Speaker 1: running right up to the thing. I was just kind
53:44
Speaker 1: of like, you know what, okay, And he's so cheery
53:50
Speaker 1: and casual, and it's just like, hey, sorry, it took
53:54
Speaker 1: us so long to pick you up. But we're here
53:56
Speaker 1: and he's just chattering away, and then all of a
53:59
Speaker 1: sudden and he gets kicked back, and it's Sanji kicking him,
54:06
Speaker 1: and like, I try really hard not to see the
54:10
Speaker 1: title cards for these episodes, but this was one of
54:13
Speaker 1: the few episodes there's a new theme song. By the way,
54:16
Speaker 1: for two out of these three episodes, the first one
54:19
Speaker 1: had the old one, and then the next two it
54:21
Speaker 1: started a new theme song. I am liking this new
54:25
Speaker 1: theme song. I was really relieved, because sometimes I have
54:28
Speaker 1: hated them, but this one's pretty good. It's long, though,
54:31
Speaker 1: I felt like the intro was a lot longer than
54:33
Speaker 1: it used to be. But this is one of the
54:38
Speaker 1: few episodes that kind of has like a cold open
54:42
Speaker 1: before it cuts to the title card. The cold open
54:47
Speaker 1: is a flashback, but nevertheless, I was like properly watching
54:53
Speaker 1: the episode, and then all of a sudden, the title
54:55
Speaker 1: card showed up, so there was no time for me to,
54:57
Speaker 1: like normally I can fast forward and sort of skip over,
55:01
Speaker 1: and I saw like Sanji versus Loufy, and I just
55:08
Speaker 1: yelled out, Oh no, I just was so sad. I
55:14
Speaker 1: knew this is gonna be like it's and I think
55:16
Speaker 1: it's literally called like a heartbreaking battle or something like that,
55:20
Speaker 1: a heartbreaking duel. That's it, And like literally it is.
55:25
Speaker 1: I don't want to see this. I don't like my
55:26
Speaker 1: friends fighting, especially when they both really actually want the
55:30
Speaker 1: same thing. But the only thing that I can see
55:36
Speaker 1: getting loofy out of this is Big Mom going down.
55:40
Speaker 1: And we find out in these episodes that Big Mom
55:44
Speaker 1: has like a weather power. She controls two clouds. One
55:51
Speaker 1: of them is Zeus and it's a thundercloud, and the
55:55
Speaker 1: other one is called Prometheus, and it's got like the
56:01
Speaker 1: heat of the sun or something like that, which makes
56:04
Speaker 1: sense because Prometheus is like a whole thing with fire.
56:08
Speaker 1: I already felt like Big Mom had too much power.
56:14
Speaker 1: I was okay with it, but it was sort of like,
56:16
Speaker 1: that's an insane ability. This is bonkers, man, What the fuck?
56:23
Speaker 1: That doesn't feel like it's even related to the devil
56:26
Speaker 1: fruit power either, Like, how does she have these clouds
56:30
Speaker 1: in her control? How does that even work? And we
56:33
Speaker 1: aren't told anything about the specifics of it, but we
56:38
Speaker 1: are given an example that, like, somebody tried to get
56:42
Speaker 1: out of a deal with her, and she was able
56:44
Speaker 1: to cause a thunderstorm and sink the ship. And that
56:48
Speaker 1: is a very big power to have, the kind of
56:53
Speaker 1: like storm that sinks a whole ship. Yikes, The NAMMY's
56:58
Speaker 1: friggin little cloud attack thing is real weak sauce in
57:03
Speaker 1: comparison to something like that. I am just really I
57:10
Speaker 1: want to see how this power works, because I just
57:14
Speaker 1: don't think it's related to the devil fruit So how
57:19
Speaker 1: does it work? Because that, I think would be the
57:24
Speaker 1: first thing we need to take care of dealing with her.
57:26
Speaker 1: Her devil fruit power is already really tough, but let's
57:30
Speaker 1: first manage to somehow take away the power that controls
57:35
Speaker 1: the weather, because that is such a huge advantage, and
57:40
Speaker 1: it would also kind of make sense if she can
57:43
Speaker 1: control weather that maybe she's able to keep things very
57:48
Speaker 1: like mild around her islands. With everything being built from food,
57:54
Speaker 1: it's probably helpful if she is able to keep heat
57:58
Speaker 1: and rain from absolutely destroying a chocolate island, you know
58:04
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I don't know if if it's actually
58:07
Speaker 1: like related to that specifically at all, but it's sort
58:09
Speaker 1: of it's making me think about like the advantages of
58:12
Speaker 1: something like that, and I could see it, but yeah,
58:16
Speaker 1: I just when that is revealed, I was, like we
58:19
Speaker 1: already she was she had a power that was kind
58:22
Speaker 1: of crazy. What is interesting to me as well are
58:25
Speaker 1: the like cravings that she has where she wants the croquambouge.
58:30
Speaker 1: I've been kind of going with that being part like
58:33
Speaker 1: a side effect of her powers. And I don't know
58:36
Speaker 1: where I got that from, because mostly people's devil fruit
58:41
Speaker 1: powers don't have side effects other than they will get
58:46
Speaker 1: exhausted after using those powers for like a while, but
58:49
Speaker 1: it takes a long time, and that exhaustion mostly just
58:55
Speaker 1: presents as tiredness, like normal tired, this really intense, crazy thing.
59:04
Speaker 1: I'm realizing it may have nothing to do with her powers.
59:07
Speaker 1: That might be a whole separate issue. And I don't
59:12
Speaker 1: know if that's at all related to the clouds in
59:15
Speaker 1: her power. Perhaps maybe that's like a price she's paying
59:19
Speaker 1: to be able to use those or you know. I
59:22
Speaker 1: don't know, but big Mom, I got a lot of
59:25
Speaker 1: questions about you. I still want to know things. So
59:30
Speaker 1: all right, guys, well I'm gonna wrap this one up.
59:32
Speaker 1: But uh, these are some really interesting episodes and I
59:35
Speaker 1: am looking forward to Lufy and Soanji not fighting anymore.
59:42
Speaker 1: Like granted, by the end of this Soanji is riding
59:44
Speaker 1: away and they have stopped fighting, but Lufy is still
59:48
Speaker 1: just yelling at him like I'm going to stay out
59:50
Speaker 1: here and wait because I can't be King of the
59:53
Speaker 1: Pirates without you, and saying I can't be King of
59:55
Speaker 1: the Pirates without you. Guys, that got me, That really did.
59:58
Speaker 1: When Sonji starts to get Alteria out, I was like, yeah,
1:00:01
Speaker 1: thatdam fuck me up too, bro, Like knowing that's Lufy's
1:00:06
Speaker 1: biggest goal in his life and that he is saying
1:00:09
Speaker 1: I can't do this without you, that is a big statement,
1:00:14
Speaker 1: and uh, it just it hurts me, so uh, stump
1:00:21
Speaker 1: this and around Sanchi and get out of that carriage
1:00:22
Speaker 1: and let's take off. Okay, get out of here. Except
1:00:26
Speaker 1: I do want you to marry Pudding, but I don't know.
1:00:28
Speaker 1: We'll figure it out, all right. Everybody appreciate you all
1:00:32
Speaker 1: hanging out in the chat. Thank you Bernadette for commissioning
1:00:35
Speaker 1: this one, and until next time to the lou motherfuckers.
1:01:08
Speaker 1: That was an unspoiled Network podcast
