• 0:30
  Speaker 1: of the Sea, Blackbeard cackles, cackles. In these episodes, there's
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: a whole lot that's coming together that I didn't expect
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: we would be seeing in one oh, in the one
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: O arc, I guess I should say, And now I
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: really don't.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Know what to expect. Welcome to spoil Me.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the show everyone. I am Natasha. Thank you
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: very much to Florian for commissioning this episode. And Florian
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: is here in the chat with me today. Is usual,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: lovely to have you, sir. Okay, So I know that
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: I do this all the time. I hope that you
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: guys will all just forgive me about this. But I
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: never in a million years would have been like, oh,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: let's check in with me hawk and what's her name?
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: I always want to say, Pamela Parona, Thank you Parona.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I never thought we would be checking in with them
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: at this point, and I definitely did not expect that
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: we're going to be directly dealing with Maria again. Now,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: for the record, don't hate it Maria. As much as
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: that arc wound up sort of ending in a way
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: that didn't feel fully like satisfying, I still have a
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: weird soft spot for it. And Maria's power is so
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: like creepy. I just you know, I don't hate the
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: fact that we're we've got him back.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: In the mix.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: And I will say too that there was something kind
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: of cute about how excited over this Pirna is. Like
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: I think there are times where I get myself. I
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: enjoy various things differently depending on who it is. So
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: when I say this, what I mean is there are
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: times that I've pointed out getting validation from friends in
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: a show versus getting validation from an enemy. Your friends
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: like you, Your friends want to encourage you. Your friends
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: are going to have a variety of motives for complimenting
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: you outside of you actually being good at whatever it
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: is they're complimenting you on. Forgive me the dog is
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: responding to somebody in my yard.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Who is working on the internet.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: However, an enemy, if they compliment you like maybe they're
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: playing ahead game with you, it's certainly possible, but usually
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: that's like something that you really can believe that compliment
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: is real and mean something that said, when bad guys
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: have affection for one another, I don't know why, but
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: it's just like, really, I love it, you know. I
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: think it's because bad guy's just not giving a shit
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: about one another and just being like every man for
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: himself in like the greater sense as well, and not
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: having any sort of emotional ties to anybody. It feels
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: a little bit cartoonish. There's just something in that that like,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: it's it's oversimplifying, and in truth, there's a lot of
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: people out there who do bad things, and still those
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: folks have people they personally care about and like so
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: having Pirona like see that Maria is still alive and
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: being so excited and just I can't wait to see him,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: she literally says, as she's like I'm leaving now, I'm
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: gonna go find him now. I don't know why, y'all,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: but I just really thought that was touching. There was
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: something in this that made me feel like, well, that's
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: nice that you know they like each other, that this
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: is a thing which I get in this headspace, right,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I'm like that's cute. And then what do I get?
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Then I go to Moria and him being really glad
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: that his friend is still alive. Oh, I thought you
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: were dead for sure. I'm so happy to see you, YadA, YadA, YadA,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: and then psych.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: He's not really alive.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I'm just doppelganging. I know that Maria is a bad
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: guy and that him being upset shouldn't really get to me,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: but I really thought that was a little too far.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: That's a really cruel thing to do. That's fucked up.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: There was no need except to just like enjoy the
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: cruelty of him thinking his friend is alive, only to
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: rip it away from him. I swear to God, what
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: the fuck, guys? Why this is the thing I don't
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: personally understand. I can understand being greedy. I can understand
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: wanting wealth, wanting power. I can understand even feeling like
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: you can sacrifice other people to get it and not
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: care because those aren't people you're close to. It doesn't
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: affect you. I get it, I really do. I'm not
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: like that, but I can understand it. But what I
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: can't understand is cruelty. That's just like for the fun.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: That's one that I never have gotten, and it's the
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: sort of thing that leaves me in a video game
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: unable to like play the bad guy. Ever, It's there's
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: a lot of folks out there who are like, oh,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: I love to play the bad guy because I can
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: be mean, but there's not the kinds of consequences for
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: it that there are in real life.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: But I'm not.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Restraining myself from being mean because I'm afraid of consequences.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: I find that being mean makes me feel shitty, and
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: so I don't want to do it in the first place.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: And when I find out I've been mean unintentionally, I
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: really feel bad about it. Well, you know, there's obviously exceptions,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: but nevertheless, so I just like if you had been like,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, in the Wan Orc when they're on this island,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: we're going to not only find out that Maria is
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: still alive, We're not only going to check in with
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Mi Hawk and Pirona, but you're gonna be low key
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: defensive of Maria and kind of say what the fuck
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: to people being mean to him. I would not have
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: seen that coming, and I don't think I would have
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: believed you. And here we are. So it's funny like
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: that I also have to say, I don't understand what
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: the deal is with this lady's power that she can
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: be a double, but it's not the same as mister
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: two's power. I am almost positive we've had this conversation before.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: So if so and you're listening and kind of going,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: we've been over this, Natasha, I'm sorry. I don't remember everything,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: as we've established many times, So if you want to
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: help me out and explain what the difference is, because, like,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: from what I understand, mister two was able to fully
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: like transform, right, But is she just projecting an illusion
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: that looks like his friend, but if you like touched her,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: you would feel that that was a different person behind
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: the illusion. Is that what's going on, mister two? I
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: can't remember. Does she she's able to like wear his
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: clothes and everything as well? Mister two, I feel we
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: have seen some transformations where he had the correct clothes on,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: but I'm not sure if that was like explained.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: As part of his power.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Florian says, we do not know officially, but one could
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: put it together by the animation when she transforms. Not
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: so important for now, but yeah, not mister two's power. Yeah,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: I didn't think it was mister two's power only because,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: and this is honestly me having a lot of faith here,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: I would never want to believe that would like have
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: mister to die off page and somebody else suddenly have
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: his power. Maybe he would do that to us, But
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: if that's true, I would.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Rather not know that.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: That would be so heartless considering how much I love him,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: I just can't accept that would be something that he
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: would do. So please, Zoda, if you're listening and you
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: haven't already killed him off, which I'm assuming you haven't
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: because you don't really like to kill characters. If you
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: ever do think I'm going to kill him off, do
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: me a favor and at least have it be a
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: big deal on page that I can say goodbye. I'll
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: hate it, so I think you shouldn't do it, But
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: I just want you to know that, like off, unforgivable completely,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: So yeah, thank you. So anyway, like I said, I know,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: I'm starting from the end here, but the end is
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: like kind of in a way more interesting to me,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: just because we yv wan oh.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: And what we have in.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: The first of these three episodes is more of the fighting,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: which actually it's not that it's not interesting at all,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: but it's uh, you know, it's it's for a while
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: more of what we saw last episode. I am so
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I've mentioned before about how there was a new theme
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: song and how I wasn't sure how I felt about it.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Of course, like there are times where things just sort
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: of grow on you.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Against your will.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: I can't tell if that's what's happened here, but I
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: do sort of like this theme song. But I try
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: as much as I can to simply look away from
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: the screen because you guys have warned me the opening
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: credits often will have spoilers. The one problem is that
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: this particular arc has like kind of a big spoiler
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: in the credits instantly, and if you go back and
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: watch it, you'll see what I'm talking about. Lufy's chained
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: to a wall, a prisoner, and it's the first thing
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: you see is like his wrist pulling away from the wall.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: It happens before the pop up for me to click
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: skip credits, and it irritated the shit out of me
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: because I try so hard to be careful and they
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: really put it in a place where it was like
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: impossible to miss. But I trust it that like either
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: maybe this is more metaphorical, or this will be something
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: that happens early on enough that me being spoiled for
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: it isn't going to be too big a deal, which
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: it does seem is the case here. I the fight itself,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: I know that I I said already that it's like
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: I'm assuming a lot of the advantage that Lufy has
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: here is due to Kido being drunk, and I maintain that,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: But I will say that even drunk Loofy really manages
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: to do a number on this guy, much more so
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: than I was expecting. Like it's not as if Kido,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I mean eventually, like, yeah, Loufy gets got right, not killed,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: but he gets got.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: But Kido really.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Has to lock in. He's got to focus a little
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: bit more. I think he's just so used to being
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: able to take people down without even really having to
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: think about it that the fact that he has to
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: put forth any effort is coming as a surprise. He
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: came out here drunk looking for a fight, thinking that
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: it was going to be nothing, and I just am
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: surprised at how effective Loofy is. And I'm like, I've
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: already talked about this, but it is a little confusing
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Kaido's whole thing is like he's almost invulnerable, right, Lufy
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: will punch him and he'll go down and it looks
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: like be knocked out by it. It's not like it
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: doesn't affect him. But what it seems is that he
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: simply can't actually be killed everything just eventually he will
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: recover from it, even if he gets injured, and pretty quickly.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: So I think that in that sense, I see Kaido
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: is so intimidating and invulnerable that in a lot of ways,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: a big part of me is like over estimating what
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: he'd be like in actual battle. Maybe he isn't a
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: great fighter because he doesn't really have to be a
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: great fighter. He just needs to wait until the other
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: guy is tired out because he will always be alive
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: in the end. And maybe that's all it is. Because
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: I've been crediting him as like, oh, Lufy, you know,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: but Lufy better be feel unlucky. This guy is drunk,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: although I don't think Lufy even knows that, but I'm
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: acting as if this is some sort of huge advantage
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: to Lufy. But maybe Kaido is just like resting on
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: his laurels a little bit, you know what I mean,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Like it's a weird comparison, but like there are times
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: where we can credit certain people. Let's say you're dating,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: you're in the dating pool, and you are with some
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: money who is really really attractive, and you have sex
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: for the first time, and you're just like so stoked
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: because they're really really good looking, and you finally have sex,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: and then you suddenly are like, this isn't even that good, though,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: and you start to realize that, like, oh my god,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: this person is too attractive for anybody to have told
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: them they're not good at sex, or for them to
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: have felt like they need to learn anything. So it's
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: this surprising development to find out that they kind of
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: low key don't know what they're doing because they have
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: never had to put effort into like finding a significant
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: other because they're so attractive and other ordinary people are
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: more interested in pleasing their partner, and some of that
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: is because they are trying to get people to stay
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: or be interested, and they aren't superhumanly beautiful, and so
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: they have to put some effort through there. So maybe
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: that's what's going on with Kaido, is that he's just like,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: he is so tough that fighting isn't a priority. Learning
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: how to do all. It's just why would it be.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: You literally can't kill me no matter what you do,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: no matter how good you are, in the end, I
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: will still be standing here. So what do I care.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: I don't even need to beat you up. I just
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: need you to tire yourself out beating me up if anything,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: which is like kind of awful. Actually, like you know,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: I was, really I was worried for Luthy getting into
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: this fight in the first place, and like, oh my god,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: you're gonna get your ass kicked. But it's not even
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: really that he does wind up like breathing balls of fire.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: It's a weird attack that's like different than the other.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: He does a few things. There's like a breath that's poisonous,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: I think, or at the very least like it does something.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: There's a few different things that I can't because last time,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: you guys, remember that I had the moment of thinking
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Loofy has opened up like a new level of gear powers,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: And it turns out this is just like an animation choice.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: So I'm not entirely sure whether this is a animation
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: choice or if it's a actual demonstration of the power
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: being something very different. But I am assuming that it's
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: like the breath on What I was thinking, honestly is like, oh,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: he's breathing like carbon monoxide at Loofy.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: Which I don't think is actually it.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: But when I think about somebody who can like breathe fire,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: I am sort of thinking about the effect of like
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: fire in a closed area where there's not enough oxygen
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: and what can happen there. And then, like I said
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: about the weird fireballs, there's like three of them that
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: kind of come out of his mouth like separate from
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: each other. It almost reminds me of because like he
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: shoots them out one after the other, almost like bullets,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: but then they form a triangle as they come toward Loofy,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: and it really reminded me of like the UFO sightings
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: that people talk about where there's like three lights in
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: the sky. So his attacks are quite varied. That thing
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: that he did to the mountain earlier is he doesn't
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: pull that one out again, which I am assuming it's
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: like I'm gonna use like game language here of just
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: it needs some cool down time before he can use
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: that power again. He can't just go shooting off that
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: level of flame from his throat over and over again
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: because he will get really really worn out. That also,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: I will admit, might be wishful thinking on my part.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Perhaps I just don't want him to be able to
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: do that, because I think that's a terrifying attack and
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: there should be a limit on it, because otherwise it's
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: completely op and what are we doing? Yeah, so okay,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: there's a whole thing here with eventually Loufy, this part
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: that I was talking about where I was like, I
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: don't know if this is really something that's happening or
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: if it's just an animation style. But Loufy knocks Kaido
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: down and Kaido winds up transforming out of his dragon
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: form back into himself, and everybody is watching this with
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: a kind of awe, like Lufy really did something by
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: making him have to turn back. I don't disagree. I
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: think that probably this is a big deal, but I'm
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: not actually sure if it's what if it's like due
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: to Loofy, or if it's just Kaido being like, you
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: know what, I'm kind of over this. I'm done with
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: this fight. I don't need to do this anymore. Like,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: is it that Loofy basically like hit him so hard
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: that he knocked him back into himself or is it circumstantial.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: It's just that I'm sort of going off the faces
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: of everybody in the crowd who looks like really surprised
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: that Loofy pulled us off. And Kaido it's very funny
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: because he's so much bigger than everybody around him. So
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: once he's standing and he's around normal people, he looks
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: really really huge and intimidating. But for a second, when
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: he's on the ground and he has transformed back into himself,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: he looks like so strange because his legs are really
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: short and that, you know, the way he's illustrated, his
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: legs are much shorter than the rest him. His chest
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: and his whole upper body. It's almost like, what are
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: those dolls, you know, the ones that used to be
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: super popular and then they finally went out of business,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Like a pop doll? Is that what they're called, you
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about? And they have the giant
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: head and then the torso and body are like way smaller,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: And that was sort of what I was thinking of here,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: is just like he has this very out of proportion body,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: and when you see him just laid out, he looks
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: weirdly like a little kid for a second, and then
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: it's you know, the camera pans up and you see
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: his mustache and everything, and you're like, oh, yeah, that
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: is not a child. But Lufie's standing over him and
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: has that red like smoke heat kind of radiating off him.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know what to call this. He looks it's
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: a very different effect than we have seen before. It's
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: reminding me of watercolor painting because it's very lucent you
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: can see him through it, but also it's like he's possessed.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: He is walking forward towards Kaido and isn't paying any
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: attention to Law because Trafaligar Law is behind him, trying
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: to get him to fucking lay off. Law. I think
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: has a more realistic understanding of Kaido and the fact
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: that like, yeah, you knocked him down, but this is
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: just putting off the inevitable and he is going to
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: get your ass and you had better use this moment
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: of him being unconscious to your benefit and get out
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: of there. But of course, loofy, that's not this is
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: so as I'm watching this, I'm trying to determine if
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: there is something going on with him, and there is
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: an effect or if it's just supposed to be that
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Lufy is so enraged and this like red cloud around
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: him is simply meant to indicate that he is so
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: angry he can't let this go, and it's almost like
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: his rage has taken over his body. I will, okay,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Florian says, this is an animation thing to illustrate his anger.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: I guess, all right, I'm gonna say this. I don't
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: like this. I think that this before before, when I
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: was like, oh, is this a thing, and you guys
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: told me it was just a choice, I was like, oh, okay,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: I guess I can see that. But this time I
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: have to say that it is so persistent a look
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: and it is so overwhelmingly noticeable, like it's just right
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: front and center, that I think it's confusing, And especially
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: after coming out of nowhere when this wasn't the way
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: that we would animate before. If we are going to
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: do this, you guys need to ease into it a
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: little bit more and make me get used to it.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Otherwise I am always going to see this as something
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: that's very significant and an indicator of like an effect
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: or a buff or something that's happening. And I just
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: think it's a mistake to do something this dramatic that
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: is so impossible to ignore for so long, because it's
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: covering him in such a way that he is like
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: almost at times difficult to see, you know. So at
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: this point he activates his gear four fourth gear bounce Man,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: and I'll say that he looks bigger in the bounce
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: man form this time than he has looked before. I'm
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: assuming that this is also an animation choice and not
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: like a changed to the ability, but it is interesting
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: to me that I won't he's nowhere near Kido's size, really,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: but it does at least make it feel a little
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: bit less like out of proportion to each other. And
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: I do enjoy that. Lufy's in the air looking down
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: at Kaido and it's just literally like, you've fucked up
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: this country badly enough, and it's time somebody stopped you.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: And you fucked with my friends, and that's that's that
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: on that, and he says kong gun and he punches
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Kaido in the face and Kindo just takes it, which, again,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: if you know you're gonna be fine, you would I
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: kept waiting for Kaido to do something to defend himself
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: that was like really terrifying in that moment, but he
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: just allows Loufy to punch him and watches him come down.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: That's not to say he doesn't have an answer to this,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: of course, but in that moment, I thought there was
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: going to be an unexpected like interference, something that he
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: did to like block him, and he doesn't do that
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: at all. So then we get the number of times
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: that punches him. I think we've even kicks him at
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: one point, and he's hitting hard enough that Kaido is
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: like sliding down the street. It's not like it's not
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: doing anything. The guy isn't justwithstanding at all, but in
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: reality he is withithstanding at all, even though he's physically
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: moving around. It just kind of gives you the illusion
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: that something is happening and it's not actually happening. This
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: is when Lufy activates kong organ Gun. This is a
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: new one, right. I think it looks crazy. I actually
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: really like it. It's all the hands coming down that are
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: like red and black because of the hockey activation. So
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: this is gatling Gun having been taken to a whole
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: nother level, and we get to see Kaido take that
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: as well, and all of the like there's like little
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: craters in his skin where the hands punch, but they
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: bounce back at again and it like nearly instantly, It's
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: like punching a punching bag. It doesn't do anything, and
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: he's just again getting moved around. And I keep watching
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: this and I'm thinking, like movies, punching and punching and
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: getting more and more angry. But I can't tell if
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: he is noticing that his punches aren't doing anything. There's
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: a sense of almost like he's so wrapped up in
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: his anger that he is just letting himself go but
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: not perceiving the reality in front of him, which is
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: that this guy isn't taking any damage. Eventually, it all
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: adds up to the he like shoves Kaido and makes
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: a crater with his body and Kaido is literally like
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: at the bottom.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: Of this trench.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: And again there's a lot of folks around who are
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: all watching this fight and going what is happening. Hawkins
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: has been off to the side like pretty much the
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: whole time and clearly was not prepared for the smoke
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: that Lufy was going to bring to this fight. But
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: there's also what's his face of the pink hair, who
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: is like, you know, after just having said there.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: Are no.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: Uh, there are no men of honor to come in
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: and help the oppressed, then he gets to be witness
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: to like Loofy doing this exact thing. And I'm sure
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: that this is going to be a moment for him
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: of just like, oh, there are people out there that
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: give a shit. There are people out there who are
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: willing to put it all on the line. Even if
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: one could argue the fact that Lufy doesn't do any damage,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: like that's not really relevant, right, He's doing it. It
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter. It's the point of standing up, even if
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: you get knocked down, for the principle of being the
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: person who stood up. So this is when finally Kaido
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: stands and there is like lightning flickering around him. There's
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: this like red haze around him as well. That is
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: similar to what Lufy had going on a moment ago.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: And also the effect of the image like waving in
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: front of us, the way that when you are looking
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: at something through a great deal of heat, the image
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: will like ripple.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: It's kind of cool.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: Actually, I have to admit.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: And Loofy sees that this guy has sort of like
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: I don't want to say, he's completely dialed in here,
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: but there's something different now, and he doesn't register or
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: care about that. So he sails forward to make his
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: attack with his King Kong gun yet again. But we
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: see Kaido actually moving here and coming at him, and
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: he says thunder Bogua, and he swings this huge mace
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: toward Loofy, crashes in like they meet, and it's like
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: the force of their opposing trajectories collide and create almost
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: like a what's the word I want? I can't think
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: of the word. There's like it's it's like a ripple
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: effect around them, you know, for a second. And then
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: we see a bunch of blood come out of Lufy's
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: mouth and he goes flying through a castle wall and
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: Kaido is just literally standing there with his mace that's
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: like flickering with purple lightning. Essentially, he hits Lufy so
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: far that Lufy goes back out into like the slums area.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: And I just want to point out that this was
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: one single hit while he was drunk and just took
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: a beating that would kill an ordinary person a few
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: times over. I mean, yikes, shock wave, says Florian for
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: the word I was searching for before. I think you're right, Florian,
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: I think that is exactly the word I wanted. Yeah,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: this is terrifying. It's and Lufy like he's laying there
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: with the white eyes, which I was always like. I
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: always had trouble with what this meant when I was
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: first covering the show, and there were a few times
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: that I took the whited out eyes as an indicator
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: that somebody was dead. Now I understand that it usually
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: just means that somebody is unconscious. But yeah, he really
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: laid Loofy out with one hit, and it is really
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: kind of pitiful to watch after everything that Loofy did.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, so at this point Law, and
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: I'll also mention guys, the choices and animation kind of
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: come into effect here again where everything that was happening
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: here in this fight, it looked like it was nighttime.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: But once Lufy is knocked out and we kind of
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: come back to Law, who's watching all of a sudden
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: blue sky's daylight. I don't like this either. I don't
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: like this choice that the animators are making that every
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: time there's a big fight, it's suddenly going to be
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: dark out. I think that they're doing this because there's
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: a lot of light and electrical you know, there's effects
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: that look cooler in a dark background, and so they
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: really want to show that off. But I assert you
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: can animate in such a way that there is a
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: darkness around the character temporarily when those effects are happening,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: so as we can see them, and then fade that
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: out and make it clear it's still daytime. I just
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: find it very jarring, you know, And this is the
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: first arc that I've really noticed this being such a thing,
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: But it was happening earlier as well, And at the
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: time I was putting that down to Hawkins's weird like
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: straw demon guy out the sun because he's so big,
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: and now it seems like it's just what they're doing
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: during fights, which is way less interesting. So at this point,
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: Trevowler Law says something to Lufy. He doesn't say to him,
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: but he says about him, you useless idiot. And as
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: much as a part of me wanted to be like useless,
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: I then immediately kind of caught myself and I was like,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: he may have a point. He may have a point,
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: because what did Lufy really accomplish here except to get
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: himself knocked out. Kaito's not hurt, nothing's changed, He's fine,
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: So I don't know, maybe calling him useless is kind
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: of fair. Actually I hate it, Like you know, I
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: just look.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: I don't really like law.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: I think he's got a really bad attitude. And if
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: his power is cool and everything, but that's not enough
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: for me to like him. So I don't want to
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: take his side on things, really, But there's just a
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: point where you've got to admit that somebody does is
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: calling out correctly what's happening. So he's about to get
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Loofy out of there, and he activates room and starts
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: to say shambles, and then all of a sudden, what
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: and he falls down and his.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: Power doesn't work.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: We find out that these are sea stone nails. We
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: don't have guns in this universe. It's not like we
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: do have guns. I'm sorry, I completely lied, but what
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: I'm saying is like, usually there are people who have
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: devil fruit powers.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: They don't also use guns.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: The devil fruit people use their power to fight, and
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: they don't rely on weapons unless the weapons are sort
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: of tied in with their weird power, like Frankie as
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: a cyborg he's not a devil fruit guy, but you
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: get what I'm saying. I this, like I'm assuming, is
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: sort of a play on what Hawkins already has going
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: on with his weird nails for the voodoo doll thingies.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: I am really into this idea. It's extremely practical, effective
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: and frightening, but also kind of easily replicable by other
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: people as well, which is a big plus for me.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: Where it's like they figured out something and it's a
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: weapon that we have to worry about, but when you
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: stop and think about it, we could also turn this.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: To our advantage. And I am so.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: Curious if the Seastone Prism is this effective with just
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: a tiny bit, is it possible to actually kill Kaido
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: if he's been shot with one of these? Is because
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: I know that it makes you weak, it makes you
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: unable to access your powers. I'm not totally clear on
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: whether or not Seastone Prism totally sort of removes all
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: of your devil fruit attributes. Would it make Kaido just
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: like a normal guy, or would it just make it
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: so that he can't turn into a dragon but he's
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: still like basically invulnerable. I think I'm trying to think
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: exactly how things worked with Loofy, like when he's been
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: in shackles made of seastone prism. I can't remember if
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: they were able to like cut him or show, you
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: know what I mean, like if his body was still
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: pretty much rubber throughout or not. I'm trying to remember.
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: I can't remember, so.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: Anyway, Like I said, I really like the idea of
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: this thing, especially in light of the fact that Kaido
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: feels so overwhelming as an enemy. But we could potentially
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: do something to remove the intensity of his his powers,
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: his invulnerability. It is a little bit tropy for it
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: to be like, oh, we use the weapon the enemy
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: is created against the enemy. I understand that some folks
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: might kind of roll their eyes because it is such
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: a trope, but it's hard for me to get mad
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: about it, you know what I mean. It's a trope
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: for a reason, because it's kind of fun. It feels
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: like poetic justice and law here, Like he has no
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: means of defending himself. He got shot in sort of
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: the back of his arm in a way that it
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: takes him a second to really even understand what's happening.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: Once he figures out where the nail is, he inks
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: it out and he is able to shambles himself write
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: the fuck out of there. I couldn't help but giggle
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: a little bit because Hawkins, like after law vanishes. I
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: think Hawkins says something like that ability of yours is
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: a real nuisance, and I just thought that was it's
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: such an understatement, you know what I mean, it's a nuisance.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: You mean that it's a fucking game changer, and you
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: don't like being able to defend themselves factually correct. So
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: at this point kind of walks over to Lufy's body
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: and looks down at him, and he says to his men,
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: pick him up and get him mad. Here he's obviously
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: feeling a bit of a way at how Lufy was
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: able to I don't know if it counts as like,
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: are you humiliated when you didn't actually take any damage
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: and everybody knows that you're just like sustaining all of this.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: There are some people who, as if they are in charge,
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: they feel that it's very very important to their overall
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: reputation for nobody to ever see them get beaten or
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: taken down, you know, anything like that, and they feel
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: like if that mask falls, then they've kind of lost
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: the respect of their people and getting that back is
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: really really hard, and I'm unsure whether or not that
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: is something that applies here. Kiedro doesn't. He seems mad
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: that Lufy beat him, but he doesn't seem like embarrassed
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: or anxious about it, So I don't think that's something
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: that he has to really like be worried about. The
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: way that I was interpreting this to begin with was like,
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: is he angry because of how Lufy humiliated him in
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: front of people? But I actually think maybe that's just
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: like that didn't happen, because what did he do. Lufy
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: beat the shit out of him for a minute, and
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: then he was fine, and then he just punches Louvi
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: out with one single punch. If anything, that's probably boosting
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: his reputation, I guess right. So next episode is Loofy
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: getting carried off by the henchman. Kaido turns back into
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: a dragon and laments the fact that he has sobered
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: up and he is going to go back to drinking.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: So he's in the air, flying away, just wanting to
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: party a little bit more. Uh Shu ten Maru, that's
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: the name of the guy. He is off to the side,
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: just like watching and wondering who Louviy is. And then
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: we go over to Trafalgar Law, who, despite the fact
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: that he was able to get that nail out of
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: him and utilize his abilities enough to escape, it seems
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: like maybe a little bit of that is still in
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: his system because he is struggling to stay upright, he's wheezing,
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: you know. It seems like it's a problem. What I
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: kept wondering regarding this, what happens if you feed a
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: devil fruit user something that's got the sea prism stone
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: ground up very fine in the food I am. I
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: am really curious about that. There's like you could potentially
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: simply digest it and shit it out and be fine afterwards.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: But if you wanted to write it that it sort
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: of stays in your system for even longer, I wouldn't
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: be mad about it. I also keep thinking about like
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: in True Blood, eventually they come up with this thing
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: to handle vampires where they get an intravenous ivy of
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: liquid silver, and in the book that basically will kill
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: you if you're a vampire. It's almost impossible to get
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: it back out of your system once it's in your bloodstream.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that would even be something that
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: could work in this you know, because like devil fruit
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: users are still it's a weird thing where they still
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: have blood, they still function in certain ways like humans.
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: I am curious about that though. So anyway, Trafalgar is
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: sitting there and he's thinking what's next and is thinking
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: about We have like a flashback of poor Beppo who
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: is saying Captain help as he just you know, that
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: white light of the dragonfire seems to tear through him,
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: and I was just like, oh, Pepo, I really felt
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: for him in that moment. I just I don't know.
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: Peppo is just a very a weirdly adorable character to
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: only drop in here and there and have him like
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: he doesn't usually really even do very much, but he
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: doesn't have to because he's so cute, Like who cares.
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: We go over to Hawkins at this point and there
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: the uh he's asking his men whether or not they
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: have tracked down Trafalgar law and they're like, no, he
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: is nowhere around here, so he must have been moving
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: really really fast. Then we have a weird cut over.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: We go to Kinemon, who is sneaking peaks at his
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: wife who is, as he puts it, unchanged after twenty
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: years she still looks amazing. I very much like roll
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: my eyes when a woman character is meant to have.
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: Like not aged at all.
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: This is something I absolutely adore the first four seasons
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: of Vikings, but it is hilarious. Compare the way that
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: they let Ragnar Lothbrook age like versus his wife, who
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: looks almost identical in the fourth season as she did
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: in the first season, even though it's supposed to be
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: like twenty years of past. You know, But it's fine,
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: it's not a big deal. I just felt like I
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: wanted to mention that in the light of the way
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: that this is often played because women don't get to age.
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: But that's okay, it's we're gonna go over now.
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: To what is her name?
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: Utiko? What is the name of the woman Samurai? She's
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: out looking for any survivors. As it turns out, they're
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: all okay, Okiku, Okiku. That's it. Uh I do love son.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: She just like, of course save me with his big
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: heart eyes.
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: He is so annoying.
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: This like everybody being alive. This is the sort of
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: thing that, like back in the day, I would really
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: get annoyed, and I still see where that would be
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: coming from the whole power that we see Kaido as
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: such a threat. He does this insane thing, but then
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: literally nobody is even hurt, right, Everybody is fine, And yes,
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: to a degree, there is a part of me that's
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: just like, then this power means nothing. But I've reached
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: a place now with one piece.
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: I don't care.
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: I don't care.
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: Of course they're fine.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: What do I want them to die?
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: I know I don't want that.
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: I want steaks. Sure, there is a part of me
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: that's still occasionally just be like, it would be nice
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: if something really like mattered, But Kaido is making people suffer.
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: Kaido is himself and vulnerable. He's still intimidating. Even if
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: his power doesn't actually work like a nuke, he's still
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: a formidable foe. And so it's fine. Yeah, it's you know,
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: like there's just there are times when I really I
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: just think about a lot, like the way that my
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: attitude about this show has changed over time because of
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: things that I've like either straight up lightened up about
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: or I just kind of get a little bit better
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: what exactly it is that we're doing here. And then
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: there are going to be things that I still feel
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: exactly the same about, which is that most of these
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: women in this show do look identical.
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: It's fine.
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: It's just not something that I feel like wasting energy
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: being irritated about. I want my friends to be good
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: and fine and healthy.
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: It's fine, So.
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: Florian says, Also, I love Shinobu's power in action and
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: to see her save the day. This is the other
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: So it is so weird, you guys. We find out
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: the way that she phrases it is hilariously quite different.
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: They're in this really deep sinkhole, and it turns out
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: that her power is when she touches something, it begins
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: to rot and decay like very quickly. It's uh, it
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: just accelerates aging essentially. But you know the way that
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: she phrased is that she makes things more mature, and
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: it's not until later. Let's see, it's a ripe ripe
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: fruit is the way that she describes it. And she
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: was the one who made this whole sinkhole happen. I
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: love getting to see also that Chopper uses his ability
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: to blow himself up like a ball, and he essentially
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: makes himself into a cork that plugs this hole so
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: that they don't just keep plummeting to the center of
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: the earth. You know, anytime Chopper gets to like, really
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: fucking do something, it's fantastic. But yeah, my jutsu causes
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: anything that I touched to ripen suddenly or become more mature,
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: one might say. And this is when Okiku says, indeed,
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: everything that she touches will spoil and rot away, and
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: she just gets very irritated about that, being the waves described,
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: which is fair. I think she's made it quite clear
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: how she feels about aging. And Sanji asks, do you
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: know what happened to Lufy? Everybody's like, it looked like
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: he was about to fight Kaido, but that's insane, and
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: she says, prepare yourselves and listen, and we cut away
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: from them over to Dogstorm, who has found O Tama.
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: She is alive, of course, she is injured, and Dogstorm
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: is really fucking pissed at the fact that Kaido would
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: hurt a child in this way. It's just like, are
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: you fucking you have? There are there no depths to
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: which you will not fall. We cut from there to Lufy,
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: who has been manacled by the wrists and is being
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: dragged to this like prison work camp behind the horses,
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: and it's pretty awful, like his eyes are still white
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: for the duration of this journey, and dragging like this
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: is a way this would kill people, This would this
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: has been used to kill people, this method. So you
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: hate seeing him like this. I don't want this, and I'm,
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: you know, considering the name of this episode, I'm pretty
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: much aware exactly what we're going to do. So we
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: then get a cut a jump ahead in time and
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: a dispersal of all of these newspapers and we find
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: out that it's big news, the fact that Lufi has
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: been captured and is in this work camp now.
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: And h he is.
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: They're doing a lot of heavy lifting to let us know,
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: first of all, how horrified every single one of his
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: friends is. We get to see everybody's reaction. I think
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: that oosup literally faints, if not, he almost like screams
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: at the very least. I love the fact that we
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: go over to Zorro and he you think that he's
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: reacting to all of this, but it turns out he's
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: just reacting to like probably the food being spicy or something.
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: I what is what.
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: Is Soro doing?
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: What is he doing because like the last time that
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: we saw him with the group, he was saying, let
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: me go take care of this tiger. But now he's
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: like on this boat with people, and it doesn't feel
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: like he's making like any effort to regroup with everybody
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: nobody else. Is he just sort of continuing on the
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: mission that he was sent with originally, of like you
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: just need to keep up the traveling around and like
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: gathering in.
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: Foe and allies?
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: Is that it? Florian says, he is going to them?
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: Don't you see how he finds his way while be honest,
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: I don't remember that. I remember him seeing the poster newspaper.
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: I'm not even sure what to call this and him
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: just like getting pissed. But honestly, everything that happened with
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: like Maria and everybody later kind of has overshadowed. Things
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: we cut from him, like seeing the newspaper and crushing
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: it to then some eyes opening in the darkness, and
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: this is when we go over to this weird mine,
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: so we get finally some information about exactly what all
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: these smoke stacks are about what exactly is happening, and
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: it's slave labor with all of these people who are
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: mining and also smithing weapons. Uh. And there it's just
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: like a ton of factories and a ton of production
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: of everything required for warfares, pretty much like anything to
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: equip Kaido's forces who don't have specialized abilities with, uh
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: with what do you call it? The Oh my god,
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. Florian says, that's a joke. He's lost
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: as always regarding don't you see how he finds his
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: way Florian, I really thought that you were saying, like
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: later in the episode we get to see what like
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: him find his way back. I really just fell for that.
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: I really just told fell for it.
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: What a goon.
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: Well, okay, so I'm sorry. I just lost my train
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: of thought there because I'm just so annoyed with myself
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: that I didn't understand that you were making a joke here. So, oh,
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: this is right. We go back to this like this
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: prison cell and one of the guys being like, here's
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: your fish, and he holds it up and he says,
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: what's in there? Anyway, all they said was stay back
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: and feed it a poisonous fish once a day, but
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: be sure to remove the bones. And this guy says
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: it likes poisonous fish, but like what's the point of
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: removing the bones If it's poisonous, then isn't that the problem?
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: And so he's like, I don't really want to bother
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: with doing that. That's a pain in the ass, which honestly,
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: deep boning of fish is genuinely a huge pain in
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: the ass. Anybody who has done it knows. Fishbones are
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: teeny tiny and they're very flexible, so it will be
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: very easy to overlook some and you can joke to
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: death on one, and it is a it's a real thing.
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: So as they are talking this through, there's an interruption
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: because Loofy arrives, which causes this man to drop the
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: fish into that enclosure without removing its bones. I want
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: to note too, that it's flopping around. That fish is alive,
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: which I thought was surprising. I figured that it would
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: be like freshly caught, but I didn't think it was
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: still alive, which wow. So Loofy, very bloody, covered in bandages,
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: is being broad inside and everybody is like kind of
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: just enjoying the fact that he has been brought low
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: after his reputation and all of the trouble that he
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: has made for so many people. They are really rubbing
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: it in and knocking him down and beating on him.
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: The bandages have gone around his mouth as well, which
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: I feel like has to be on purpose because he
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: was just mouthing off all the time. Honestly, I kind
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: of get it. He looks quite angry. He does not
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: look cowed at all, but it's because I feel like
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: this scene is a lot more effective if he doesn't
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: talk and just sort of takes it, you know. So Anyway,
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: this guy, who gets irritated at the fact that Lufy
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: is not cowed, starts to lift his weapon and is
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: intending to teach him a lesson when a fishbone unexpectedly
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: comes flying out of the cell like a fucking dart
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: and lodges itself right in the dude's neck in a
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: spot that like, he starts yelling I think I'm gonna die,
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: which would ordinarily just be like stopping so dramatic, but
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: I think that probably, yeah, I think that this might
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: have killed him. And we see a face in the
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: cell that looks like a little like a bird face almost.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: It's a very weird shadowed thing and apparently was defending
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: Loofy maybe just wanted to hurt anybody, and that guy
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: just happened to be in the way, but it definitely
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: felt purposeful. What do I know? Lovie gets tossed into
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: a cell, and we very quickly find out that he
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: is sharing this with Captain Kidd, because they both say
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: at the exact same time, I will get you for this, Kaido,
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: I will pay you back for this. So that's interesting.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: Captain Kidd is one that has been like of interest,
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: but every time we see him he is sort of
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: basic in a way that I was like growing a
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: little disappointed in not seeing anything exciting from him. I'm hoping,
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: potentially this will lead to something more, you know. Anyway,
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: so this is when we cut. We start the next
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: episode and we are with Pirona and me Hawk. She
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: finds out from the newspaper that Maria is still alive
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: and on the prowl, and she decides to leave, and
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: she's feeling almost guilty because she knows that Mihawk took
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: her in and that she should be more great. But
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: she's also like, you know, the two of them just
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: tend to butt heads and she's leading in high dudgeon.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: All he has to say is take care of yourself,
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: and she gets awful clemped and it's just like, thank
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: you for everything you've done for me, and it's actually
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: kind of adorable, honestly. And then we go to the
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: island where Maria has arrived trying to find I think
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: he's trying to track down Teach, if I'm not mistaken.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: I find it very funny because he's like yelling at
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: everybody tell me where he is, and the guy points
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: and there's a literal giant castle shaped like a skull
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: at the top of.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: A hill in the middle of town.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: Where did you think he was, Maria? Do you think
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: the potentially teach was in the giant castle shape like
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: a skull on the top of a hill in the
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: middle of town. Do you think maybe that might be
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: where he is? Perhaps, you fucking idiot. So anyway, I've
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: already talked about this whole scene where they lie to
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: him about a baden is that his name being still alive?
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: And then it turns out that he is not. It's
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: really awful because he's like laughing and his jaws sort
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: of open, and then all of a sudden he jumps
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: off the edge of this and like poofs into the
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: lady whose name is Devon I think Devin's got like
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: a fan club of ladies who are waving to her
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: off from the side. And I could not tell if
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: this was like a romantic I am in love with you,
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: I have a lot of lesbian followers, or if this
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: was like a like a Boa thing where it's I
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: just have women admiring me all the time, or what Absalom,
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: thank you Florian. But yeah, there's another dude here who
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: has invisibility powers because they killed Absalom and his devil
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: fruit apparently they were able to take its power, and
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: so this dude who's got a cigar in his mouth,
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: he now can be invisible. And Maria is like, he
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: was my crewmate, he was my friend. And again I
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: was just like, aw, why would you guys do this
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: to him and this lady. Because he's like, I'm gonna
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: make you all pay. She says, well, you're welcome to try,
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: and just as he is about to do something, there
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: is what feel like it does almost look like a
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: nuclear blast. Everything is shaking. Maria looks terrified, but Devin
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: looks like unmoved. It's almost like, ah, here it comes
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: like she's excited, you know, And then we hear somebody
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: say I see you get go Moria, and he's like
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: I know that voice, and Teach says, we can't have
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: you disturbing the peace. And we kind of cut around
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: and we see like there's a woman getting drunk with
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: him in this room. There had been a whole thing
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: earlier with how like pirates are just at their ease
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: on this island having a great time. And when Teacher
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: is like saying, oh hey guys, he basically rouses everybody
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: and is like this, this Maria is a real party pooper.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: Are you gonna let him ruin our good time? Or
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: are we gonna take this motherfucker down? And he says,
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: come on, Maria, you like to party, right, you should
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: have more fun, and Moria is like shaken in his
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: shoes here, which considering that this dude has two devil
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: fruit powers and we've got other double fruit users that
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: are surrounding him, yeah, I think you're out matched here. Bro.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: I gotta admit you got taken down by Loufy this guy.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 2: This is no joke.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: And he says, did you see the paper today? And
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: we get a picture really quickly of Sabo and he
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: we don't see like the headline, but he just says
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: there's never a dull day. But then we get the
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: narrator saying they risked it all to take back Kuma,
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: and this like the teaches like celebrating this. He's I
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: think it's just like the chaos of everything, you know,
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: as long as they're out here mixing it up, it's
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: going to be easier for us to deal with the
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: world government because they are all over the place trying
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: to put out all.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: Of these fires.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: And he also brings up that there's another emperor on
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: Lufy's tail. He calls her angry as a wet hen,
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: which is one that I haven't heard in a while.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: Big Mom is like following Lufy, which I am assuming
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: she's heading to Wjuano. I don't know if there's like
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: any way that any of the obstacles to get to
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: Wanta matter. When it's Big Mom. I feel like she's
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: going to be able to overcome all of them quite easily.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: So her being a factor in this I had never
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: thought of. I figured we had just left her behind
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: for now, but evidently she is determined to make herself
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: a problem, which I respect, and we just get like
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: the episode ends basically with Teach just being like everybody
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: wants to be king, but only one person gets to be.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: And I will say it's kind of a cool effect
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: because he slams his fist down and then when it
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: says to be continued that the screen looks like it
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: cracked from the force of him bringing his fist down.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: I don't remember the show ever having an effect about
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: the the end. I don't think it's ever done that.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: I thought that was cool. I liked it effective. Oh,
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: Florian says, here's Blackbeard. Last episode, you had just asked
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: where he is. That's true.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 2: I was just like, we haven't seen him. What's going
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 2: on with that guy? So now we know.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: The Invisible Man used to be second in command of
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: impal Down. Ah okay, So that's part of why Maria
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: wasn't worried, because he was like, oh, I know this
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: guy makes sense. Okay, all right, well I'm gonna wrap
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: this up. But yeah, this is a really fun section.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: I enjoyed these a lot. I am looking forward to
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: seeing where we're going next. So I hope that you
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: guys are enjoying the coverage. Thank you to Florian for
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: commissioning this one and for being here in the chat.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: Appreciate you very much until next time.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: Tulu motherfuckers.
