• 0:09
  Speaker 1: covering one piece episodes six forty six through six forty eight,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: the legendary pirate Donchin Jao, Light and Shadow, Darkness behind
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Dress Rosa and making a sortie the legendary hero Ussoland
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: in these episodes. This whole thing with humans being turned
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: into toys. I don't what even are what is happening
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: you guys. I have so many more questions even than
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: I had before. I don't know what to think. I
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: really don't Welcome to spoil Me. Welcome to the show everyone.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: I am Natasha. Thank you very much to Florian for
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: commissioning this episode, and also thank you to Florian for
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: his patients. As I worked out some scheduling issues, some
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: of you who follow along may have seen some weird
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: changes on the crowdcast schedule, and that is my bad.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: That is the bad of the booking what do you
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: call it software? But it's straightened out now, and I
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: just wanted to also give folks a reminder that if
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: you are somebody who has trouble making it to the
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: lives sometimes the schedule, it's not your bad at all. Florian.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: This was not your fault in any sense at all.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Thing you did, did anything, don't worry about it. Sorry, guys,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Floren's over here trying to apologize in the chat. But
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: my schedule is going to be changing permanently starting next
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: week December twelfth, which is a Thursday, till one week
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: from today, I will be starting my recordings at two
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: thirty Central Standard time. Currently I start at four, but
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: it has been difficult ending at eight pm. It's just
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: a little bit too late for me to really have
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the evening with Owen and to get chores done and
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: to take Pip into the dog park and all of that.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: So I moved everything up to start at two thirty.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: And it actually seems to be better for a lot
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: of my international listeners who are having to stay up
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: until like two am. So if you are an international listener,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: or maybe not, maybe you just like work a later shift,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: maybe my starting at two thirty will be good for you,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: you will be able to come. So I just thought
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: I would mention that before I got started. So all right,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I there are so many things to talk about in
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: this episode, and I'm trying to decide how I want
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: to do this, because you guys know the way that
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: this show works and how it jumps from one scene
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: to another, it can be really difficult for me to
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: do what I do with other television shows. It's usually
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: what I do with another show is I just scrub
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: through it as I'm talking about it from scene to scene,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: and mostly it works out. But with this the episodes
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: are short, so every time I'm covering three, I'm jumping
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: around even more. And also the scenes are shorter than
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: in anything else, so you barely even really get a
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: narrative beat in a whole scene. It's usually the collection
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: of all of the scenes per episode that is the
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: narrative beat. So I feel like I just want to
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: talk about the implications of this new devil fruit power
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: that we have heard about. We haven't actually seen it yet,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: but what we you know, I mentioned about how it's
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: wild that we get told that there's this like really
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: sad history of dress Rosa by our toy soldier friend,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: and then we just don't get the story from him
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: for like it's been like ten episodes at least, I
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: think since he said that, and finally, you guys, we
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: are getting it, and I am it's not even really
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: like we get a piece of it, and it's a
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: pretty crucial piece, granted, but I definitely had a kind
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: of like come on, because we barely scrape the surface
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: and then we kind of veer away from it again.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: But what we see he brings Frankie to this Uh,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: there's like a what's the word I want here? A
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: bit of a kerfuffle on the street. Kerfuffle, I think
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: is the word that Rashan would probably use here. And
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: there is this guy who is and I say, guy,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: it's a little toy who is clinging to the leg
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: of this young woman and trying to tell her that
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: he is her boyfriend, and please don't hook up with
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: that guy or with I can't believe that you would
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: forget your boyfriend this fast. It's me, don't you remember?
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Can't you recognize me? And this is our first hint.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: But then a few seconds later we get introduced to
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: a little toy dog who is playing with this little
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: girl on the street, and we find out that the
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: toy dog is the child's father, but evidently isn't like
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: telling anybody that. It seems like the vibe that I'm
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: getting here is he knows nobody is going to believe him,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: so he is just going along with pretending to be
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: a toy in order to have a relationship with his
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: child of any kind, which is truly just so sad.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, that is really really heartbreaking. And so this
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: is when we find out that all of the toys
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: used to be human. And when I say that this
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: is like a very unsatisfying story beat, what I mean
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: is we find out that they were human and then
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: we just bounce from there and he doesn't finish explaining
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: how that works. And it's not until we have that
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: art art fruit lady who is yelling at Nami that
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: we get enough information to start piecing things together. Because no, me,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: it's fun that the way that this happens, because I
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: we have a whole scene where Law is trying to
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: contact Nami via one of the the transponder snails and
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: she's not picking up. And I was not sure whether
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: she wasn't picking up because her transponder snail got transformed
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: when she got transformed, whether it was because the transponder
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: snail is on the sunny and she can't reach it
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: and also maybe got transformed because it was on the sunny,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: or if it's just that she's like in the midst
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: of this battle and is too busy to notice that
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: it is ringing, which is certainly possible, but I think
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: maybe it's been transformed regardless. The like Nami pulls out
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: her weather tool, that like pole thing, and it gets
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: transformed into this weird sort of like hook shaped, you know.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: She calls it a toy, And when she says it's
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: a toy, the lady gets very irate for just a
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: second and is like, uh no, the person with the
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: toy toy fru is somebody else. That's not me. I
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: made it into art. It's different. So that is the
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: only info that we get about the fact that their
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: people are clearly being transformed by a person who is
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: part of the uh the do Flamingo's Pirates, the Don
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Quixote Pirates. And I am so deeply confused about how
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: this can possibly work. You guys, if people are being
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: transformed into toys, how like this guy who comes back
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: and tries to tell this girl, I'm your boyfriend, how
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: did you forget me already? I have to assume that
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: there is some other element involved where people's memories are
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: being messed with by somebody who has another power, or
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: maybe the person who has the toy toy power is
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: another type of like they have an additional aspect to
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: their power, because the fact that it seems like it's
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: a secret that everybody is being transformed by a person
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: with a power doesn't really feel possible to me. I mean,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: what I mean is just everybody not having put this
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: together over the course of all this time. And the
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: only other thing that I have to sort of reach
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: for here is that there is that statue of that
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: guy who was outside the coliseum thing, and apparently he
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: did all of these remarkable things, but also nobody really
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: remembers him. So my thought is that somebody has a
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: memory altering power and they did something regarding that guy too,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: because that's the only way that this could make sense,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: is that a person is like managing the memories of
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: everybody related to the person who was transformed, because otherwise,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: how isn't anyone noticing people missing all over the place.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: And it's just a really like the idea that she
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: had a boyfriend and that he disappeared, and this toy
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: is telling her that's who he is, and she doesn't
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: seem to be putting any pieces of this together at all.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: That doesn't feel like it could possibly work without their beings,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: some sort of magical effect that's happened to her. So
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: that's all I can work with right now, and it's
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: the best I can do. But it is so bizarre
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: to mean that. I mean, Frankie actually says to the
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: toy soldier in this episode like, even though everything here
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: is really weird, I've gotten to the point where like
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: I'm used to it already, and I felt like that was.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that actually has anything to do
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: with the memory thing, you know, if he's being affected
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: by that, or if it is just sort of like
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: what occurs to many of us when we live in
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: a type of culture for long enough that we just
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: stop thinking about how strange a lot of what we
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: take for granted about that culture really is when you
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: step outside of it for a second. But you know,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: I was talking like, of course, as I think anybody
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: would when we first get here, about how is it
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: that like people and toys are able to mate and
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: have children? How is it possible that they can like it?
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Just all of it didn't really make any sense. So
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: now the fact that we have that they used to
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: be humans, it is giving a little bit, not like really,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: but it's giving me like a little something that I'm feeling. Okay,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: maybe that is something that will make part of it
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: makes sense. So anyway, this whole revelation is really wild
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: and apparently like the person who can transform these toys,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: it seems like they're very old, and not necessarily that
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: I'm saying that they themselves are elderly, but that they
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: must live a long time, because I feel like our
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: friend the Toy Soldiers says that this has been happening
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: for like a hundred years or something like, it's gone
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: back far enough that this has become an acceptable state
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: of affairs for everybody, And that to me is the
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: the fact that Frankie says this seems super normal to
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: him at this point. To me, the implication of that
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: is that people who come here, they do get so
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: used to it that once they leave and they like
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: tell the story. If they get to leave and tell
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: the story, like, maybe they don't even bother mentioning it
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: to people, because it doesn't seem that remarkable to anybody else.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: But personally, I couldn't help but think, like, aren't there
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: other folks around the world who hear that there's an
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: island full of humans and toys and toy human hybrids,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: and don't people want to come here and see that?
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Like doesn't that seem like saying that this is like
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: a draw for tourists. I don't feel like that's exactly
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: the wording I want, But I would think it would
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: be the type of thing that a lot of people
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: would be interested in seeing for themselves. I feel like
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: it's the sort of story that folks would not believe,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: and then once they actually got to see it, it
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: would be like Skypea a little bit, you know. So,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: And speaking of Skypea, also, I'll just mention that, like
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: we had that thing last week with Bellamy and his
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: like being bribed to go after Loofy, and we don't
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: get an update on that this episode. I was a
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: little disappointed. I really want to know, like what it
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: is that he's thinking of doing, how he's going to
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: handle it, if he's even gonna attempt it, or if
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: he's straight up going to try and double cross this
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: person or what. But don't get an update on that,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: so we'll have to wait and see. So let's see,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Florian says the dog toys kid and wife also don't
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: seem to remember him, so that seems like something's going on.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a good point, Florian, because
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: the I think it's Frankie that asks the woman if
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: she's married, or maybe it was the toy soldier and
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: she says, no, I never got married. Is that strange?
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: And the way she says it is like not like
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: it's almost like it hasn't occurred to her that she
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: had to have had a partner in order to have
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: this child, like the child must have a father, but
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: that she hasn't really stopped to consider that or who
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: it might be. And the kid says basically, I never
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: had one, in a very carefree manner, which if people
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: are vanishing and turning into toys all the time, I
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: would assume also that this isn't an unusual situation for
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: a kid to just straight up be like, I don't
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: have a dad, And probably there's a bunch of other
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: kids around that also can say like I don't have
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: a dad or a mom. I just never have, and
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: nobody really asks a lot of questions because this is
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: something that isn't totally unheard of, you know, because obviously,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: like the reproduction on this Island is fucking weird anyway,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: So I think that they must be just telling kids
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: that babies happen from a totally different means and method
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: than they do, because otherwise, how are you going to
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: sustain this weird story? So yeah, that is that is
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: the crux of what is going on there. And I
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: will just say that I am very very interested in
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: seeing who this person is transforms people into toys, why
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: they decided to do this at all, because I think,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: and this is this is sort of a weird thing.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: But what we find out when the what are the
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: fairies like real they're sort of tribe name, I don't
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: remember what they're called, but they are talking to USAP
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: because USAP wants to know what is it that you
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: guys are going to war for? Like why do you
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: have a grudge against do Flamingo? And they all start
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: laughing because they assume that he must be joking because
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: this is just an ongoing oppression. I guess that they've
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: been experienced thing, and since he is supposed to be
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: this legendary hero, they just figured that he knew about this,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: but he does not. And it turns out that they
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: are being like kidnapped and enslaved to work at a factory, which,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: of course the first thought that Usap and Robin have
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: is that it's the factory that produces smile. My thought
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: was that perhaps the person who is turning people into
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: toys is doing that to like use them as workers
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: as well, that perhaps it's it's them being turned into
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: like automatons, automatons. I feel like it's automatons, that's that.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: And there that episode that's titled like making a Sortie.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: He says sortie in the uh the voiceover when the
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: episode begins, But I have actually never heard that words
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: set out loud, and I've always said SORTI and I
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: didn't like it, So sortie kind of for me, it
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: sounds a little bit better, And I feel like I
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: want to take that pronunciation on, even though I'm not
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: positive that's correct either, but I'm going to assume that
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: if it was approved for the voiceover, that is how
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: you pronounce it. The thing is that, like, there are
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: plenty of things that get approved that are not correct,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: and this is something that you run across in a
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: lot of like audiobooks as well. So I don't know,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: I'm just sort of going with it for now, But anyway,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: I'm all over the place here, you guys, I'm sorry,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: but I was thinking that maybe that is why they're
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: being transformed, because maybe turning them into toys means that
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: they don't need rest anymore, or that they don't need
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: to eat or take bathroom breaks. Like maybe making them
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: into basically robots eliminates all of the things that would
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: make human workers inconvenient, And it would be sort of
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: like a metaphor for our automating a lot of jobs
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: in the present, you know, the way that we have
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: and rendering certain positions useless. And it's sort of like,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: it's such a weird thing just to depart from this
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: for just a second and talk about that, because you guys,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: I can't. I have such mixed feelings about us automating jobs.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: A part of me feels like making people obsolete is
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: really shitty, and taking employment away from people just to
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: like increase your bottom line is like unethical and shortsighted
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: and just a bad idea. And then there's another part
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: of me that like so frustrated because the alleged reason
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: for us coming up with a lot of the inventions
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: that we have over the past one hundred years, especially
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: with like the Industrial Revolution, A lot of the reasons
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: we have stated for creating machines and appliances and things
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: is so that we can make life easier and eliminate
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: the hazards sometimes of working certain jobs or just you know,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: making certain things easier and more consistent with the manufacturer.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: And also to free up time so that we have
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: more to spend on other things, especially when we're talking
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: about like home appliances like dishwashers and food processors and
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: washer dryers that sort of thing. And instead of it
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: actually making life easier because we don't have the imagination
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: to come up with a different way of living from
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: good old capitalism, all we've done is take that time
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: and used it to like reinforce that we should be
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: being more productive in other areas of our lives. So
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: it hasn't actually helped us to rest or helped us
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: to take pressure off our shoulders. It has just made
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: it so that doing like getting more done is even
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: easier and less like excusable if you don't, because well
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: you don't even have to do dishes anymore, you know.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: And that is like the fundamental issue with so much
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: of the progressive improvements in like farm for example, with
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: like the growing of food, we have done enough so
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: that we can grow more than enough food for everybody
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: to be fed. But because of capitalism, we can't just
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: give food away, got to forbid. Instead, we'll throw it
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: away and nobody gets it because that's smarter for reasons
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: of very foolish logic. And it's just so frustrating because
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: we have done so many things at like humanity has
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: that could have made life so much better and so
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: much richer in so many ways. Automating a bunch of
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: things would free up so many people. If we just
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: accepted this job no longer needs to be done. If
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: we had a universal basic income, these people's jobs would
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: be replaced, but they would also be able to live
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: and maybe then in that time they could produce, art,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: could caregive, they could do any number of things. But
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: we don't. We just say, well, now you still need
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: to do a job, you still have to work. We
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: got rid of those jobs, so that sucks for you.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: You have to figure out another job. And since you're
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: super desperate now because so few jobs exist because we've
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: automated them all, we get to exploit you and pay
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: you even less than before, because we know you're extremely desperate,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: and it's just it's just so frustrating to know how
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: much advancement we've actually made, but because of our foolish
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: lack of imagination, we aren't making use of them in
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: a way that's like at all really fundamentally helpful. And
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: it makes me really sad, you know, and like also,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: and this is a whole other thing, and I know that,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: like millennials are the ones that we get talked about
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: like a lot, because for some reason, everybody just forgot
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: that millennials grew to adults like in the past five
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: or tiny years, and we were the ones talked about
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: for the longest time, as if we were still like
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: teens or in our twenties, when in fact that's like
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: gen z at this point. But people make fun of
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: the fact that a lot of millennials do not want
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: to talk to human beings. We always want to do
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: things through automation apps, you know, place of pizza order
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: on our computer instead of calling. But honestly, that is
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: because there's like less room for human error a lot
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: of the time, in my opinion, Like I don't like
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: to go to I don't like to call a place
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: to order a pizza because the place that I call,
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: because they don't have the option to place an order online,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: it's a phone that's in the front of house, right
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: around all the dining and you can tell the person
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: on the phone can barely hear you, so you have
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: to like yell your order and they have to repeat
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: it back to you, and they're clearly yelling, And there's
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: just a sense the whole time of like this could
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: very easily get wrong, like they could fuck this up
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: somewhere along the line. Whereas if you get to enter
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: your information into a computer and it gets printed out,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: it feels like there's so much less likely. The likelihood
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: is much lower of the order being wrong or they're
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: being a miscommunication, unless you've entered it wrong, in which
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: case that's your own fault. And I feel this way
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: about like check out too. I know a lot of
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: people talk shit about self checkout, but I don't like
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: dealing with cashiers so many, especially here in Texas. And
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: this may just be that I am a Connecticut girly
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: and being from the Northeast, I have a different attitude
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: about things. But down here in Texas people love to
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: chit chat, and I will be honest, I don't really
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: give a shit. I don't want a chitchat with people.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: It's a combo of me being a little bit antisocial sometimes,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: and also the people down here are often bigots and shitty,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: and I don't want to engage in a conversation with
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: somebody when I know that convo can take an abrupt
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: left at any moment, and a person can say something
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: incredibly terrible, and now I have to figure out how
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: to navigate the rest of this. It's just there's a
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: lot of anxiety for me in dealing with strangers around here,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: especially so for me, I love that things are mostly
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: automated because I don't want the human element involved. It
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: makes things faster and less anxiety inducing for me if
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: I can just go and check things out myself. So
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: I am very much like for automation in a lot
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: of ways that I know people really vehemently disagree with,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: and their reasons are valid. I really do understand where
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: they're coming from. It's just that, you know, for me,
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: it seems like my personality type. It's just preferable. I
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: know that I just went on a huge tangent and
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: that this is probably not really of interest to anybody,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: and my apologies, but also it just brought to mind
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: like a lot of questions. And the thing about like
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: dealing with smile as well, is that perhaps if you
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: have like people who aren't really people handling this material,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: they're less at risk. I don't know how much these
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: people give a shit about risk, except that it might
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: render their employees unable to work. But maybe if you're
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: not like of flesh and blood person, smile can't damage
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: you in the way that it would, you know what
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. So I don't know though, because the fact
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: that and thank you, Floriene is telling me to not
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Tontata is the name of the fairy tribe. It may
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: be that the tantata being abducted and turned into workers
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: at this factory is that they are the only type
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: of worker that is employed there. It may not even
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: be that the toys are turned into workers at the factory,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: and that that's like a whole separate thing. It also, like,
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: you know, considering how many toys we've got just walking
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: around the city, if they are turning them into workers,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: like that's apparently only some of them, you know, not
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: a lot of them, because there are plenty who are
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: still out here wandering and living their lives like they're
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: regular beings. And I had thought that maybe this toy
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: soldier had been a human and that so Rebecca, I
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: think is the name of the girl that's going to
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: be fighting in the coliseum, that maybe like her relationship
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: to him was going to be like that she'd gotten
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: she managed to either retain her memory of somebody that
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: she had been with, or that she like fell in
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: love with him again even though now he was a
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: toy it didn't matter to her. And this made me
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: sort of like what I remembered then that she had
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: those memories that we saw in the flashback dancing around
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: with the toy soldier. So I feel like that can't
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: be right unless this is somebody who had been her
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: friend when she was younger and got transformed into a
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: toy when they were quite young. But it doesn't seem
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: like those memories would exist if this happened after the
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: two of them had been involved with each other. So anyway,
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: I just throwing out all of these different theories that
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: I've had that aren't really even like I don't necessarily
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: even believe them fully It's just that I want to
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: share with you guys the way that my mind works
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: and what occurs to me, and then why I discounted it,
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: you know. So let's talk about Shinjhao now, because this
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: whole thing, as you guys know, the tournament thing is
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: like the least interesting part of the story for me.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: But I will say that this particular episode is pretty funny.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: I say episode, and it's more than one episode really,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: but like, what's going on? So first, we've got this
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: really bizarre power from the guy who hates being called
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: a shrimp, where he has eaten the jacket jacket fruit,
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: and this means that he can deflate his body into
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: a jacket, un get unzipped, and then somebody can put
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: him on and wear him like a jacket, and then
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: he takes over their body and can fight using their
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: body and like musculature and whatnot. You guys, this is
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: absolutely bonkers. This is the craziest of all the powers
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: so far, in my opinion, we have had some real
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: weird ones, and I'm sure we'll have a lot more
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: real weird ones, but I really feel this is taking
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: the cake. This is you maybe remind me of some
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: older ones that I have forgotten since then, but being
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: able to make yourself into a jacket so that anybody
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: who puts you on is like controlled, Like it's it's
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: such a bizarre thing, Like not just because of the
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: nature of it in general as a concept, but all
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: I keep thinking about is how how completely vulnerable this
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: dude is when he decides that he is going to
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: turn into a jacket, that he's just laying there with
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: no apparent ability to like get away easily. And I
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: don't know exactly how this works, Like it may be
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: that he can turn back into himself pretty quickly and
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: it's not that difficult, but I just kept imagining being like, yeah,
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: let me flate myself, and then something happens to the
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: person who was supposed to be putting you on, and
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: now you're just like a sitting duck laying there and
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: any random can like grab you up and stuff you
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: into a backpack and run away. Which I'll be honest,
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: if we don't get that happening at some point, I
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: will be disappointed. I would love to get to see
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: this guy just rolled up and put under somebody's arm,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: like a tent that just got taken down. You know.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: So anyway, I I this this dude and his like
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: I don't want you guys to call me a shrimp,
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: and like screaming at this dude using his brother's his muscles,
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: because there's a mention more than once that his brother
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: is a softy who doesn't like to fight, and that
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: it's a shame that so much muscle and brawn is
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: wasted on a person who won't make use of them.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: They and so that's why his brother puts him on
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: as a jacket. The thing that I keep wondering though,
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: is like when his brother takes him off, is the
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: damage done to him when he's in the fight, like
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: people punching him and bruising him. Does that get absorbed
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: by the jacket or does that remain on his body?
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: Because I feel like I would not want to put
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: on the jacket if I don't like to fight. I'm
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: thinking the reason I don't want to fight is also
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: is partially at least because I don't want to get hurt.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: But the idea that then like I let myself be
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: occupied by another consciousness and they can let me get
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: hurt and then just bounce that doesn't feel better. You know,
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: maybe it's supposed to just be that he's like afraid
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: in general, or that he's like such a pacifist. Perhaps
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but I this is just something that
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: I kept wondering exactly how this all works. So that
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: guy is like yelling at another dude about calling him
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: a shrimp, and it begins this whole fight, which eventually
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: he wins, and we get the guy with the weird
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: shoulders who comes out and is like, if you must
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: be like a really unusually good fighter, and dude is like,
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: why are you giving me a compliment when I am
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: your rival? And shoulders dude is like, because I want
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: to be the best, and how will anybody know I'm
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: the best unless I get to fight and beat the best.
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: So they begin going in on each other, and like,
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: as this is happening, I'm sitting back watching this kind
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: of like yawn, because I don't know either of these
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: guys and I don't care. The jacket power, I think
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: is fun. It got my attention for a second, but
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: not much is done with it here besides this one fight.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: So that also kind of had me going like, yeah, whatever,
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: And I actually thought to myself, like this episode has
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: chin Joo's name on it. When is he showing up?
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: I need him to lend this fight a little bit
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: more dignity because these guys are kind of sad empathetic.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: And then Chinjau rolls in and I was like really pumped,
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: and then, like one of the story short guys, he
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: just winds up balling his eyes out at the end
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: of the fight. It's not the end of the fight.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: The fight goes on considerably longer after that. But I
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: could not help but laugh because I was very much like, yeah,
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: where's Jinjaw. We want to, like, you know, we want
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: to feel like this flight is a little bit tougher
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: and cooler. And then he does that for like a
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: minute and then immediately undoes it all, and I was
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: just like, come on, dude. So anyway, the reason that
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: I just want to say also this is for me.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: I really like Chin Jao and I'm really not sure why.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: I just want to like confront this and tell you
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: all how I feel about it, because it's something that
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: I can't quite understand myself. I don't know if it's
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: the fact that he has beef with Lufy's grandfather. I
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: feel like that's part of it. Because I just like
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: the fact that there is a reason for him to
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: hate Lufy that doesn't really have anything to do with
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: Lufy himself. So there's a part of me that is
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: more interested in that, And I think it's just the
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: aspect of like there being a mystery to it, you know,
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: rather than somebody who shows up and hates Loofy for
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: maybe something that I've actually seen occur and don't really
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: care about, or for like Cavendish, the fact that he
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: hates Loofy for reasons that are so silly and stupid
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: that it's difficult for me to like take him seriously
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: as a threat at all. But I just kind of
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: there's there's something about chin Ja's motivation that I find
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: much more engaging. Also, I have got to say that
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: Changjau's overall design is wonderful. I just really like the
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: way that he is animated with like his beard and
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: mustache all sort of flying upwards, so it always looks
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: like he is standing over a like event of hot air,
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: which really goes well with his overall like rage motivation
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: because it looks like the fires of his anger are
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: levitating his hair and beard and everything. So his design,
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: his motivation, and the voice actor does a good job
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: with him, so overall I have been enjoying him whenever
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: he shows up. Also, I think part of it is
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: that he manages to absolutely and utterly spank anybody that
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: he goes up against, which is very satisfying because it's
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: just everybody here is so full of themselves and I
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: like seeing them get put in their place by an
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: old man. So everything about this dude I have been
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: very on board for. And I will say that even
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: though he starts crying and being so sad, that didn't
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: really undo it. What he's said about is that his
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: like all of his treasure and stuff got taken away
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: by Lufy's grandfather. But also apparently he used to have
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: a head that like he calls He says that he
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: used to be called the drill. I think was the
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: name that he said he used to have. And we
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: don't actually ever get the story of that in these
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: three episodes. I'm almost positive, but clearly we're going to
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: get it at some point, like what it is that
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: Lufy's grandfather did to this guy's head, And I am deeply,
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: deeply curious about it. I really want to know. But yeah,
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: so this, this whole thing is just really I really
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: liked the fight between him and Luviy. It's the first
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: fight that I have been engaged by, say, and the
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: fact that Lufy, I'm this is something that I didn't
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: really understand. So I'm gonna ask you guys, And I
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: think only Florian is here right now, so he may
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: not know if you are able to tell me, Florian,
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: but if you're listening later, go on into the discord
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: and let me know. I I am not really sure
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: why Lufy is able to use his gum gum power now,
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: and nobody seems to be calling out the fact that
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: he is clearly not named Lucy. This is, you know,
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: like he keeps on almost dropping his mustache and beard off,
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: and eventually he does, and it seems like he tries
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: to restick it and it doesn't fully work, and the
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: guy that he is fighting against at that point is
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: laughing about it because he already knows that this is
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: definitely loofy and is basically just like, aha, now you
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: can't hide it any longer. But when Hinjao is coming
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: at him, I like Lufy already did not argue with
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: Chinjao about who he is until Cavendish kind of was like,
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: why do you why did you say that was your
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: grandpa if that's not who you are, And even when
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: he corrects himself and stops and it's like, oh, yeah,
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: you're right, that's not that's not my grandpa. I don't
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: even know who you're talking about. He very quickly, like Loufy,
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: loses sight of the fact that he's supposed to be
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: keeping his guard up, and so he'll blurt out, well,
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: what my grandpa did has nothing to do with me,
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: and he keeps doing that, back and forth and back
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: and forth. But here it's I don't really understand how
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: anybody is like monitoring the fight if they're like, are
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: they not hearing what's being said? Either? Because this guy
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: keeps talking about Lufy's grandpa and calling him by his name.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure maybe he doesn't. Maybe he just keeps
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: saying your grandfather. But that combined with Lufy using his powers,
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: I just kept expecting somebody to be like, wait, oh
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: my god, it is Lufy. That's not Lucy at all,
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: you know, and it just does not happen. And I
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: thought that him using his powers like he started to
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: do it and kind of stopped himself before, and now
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: it seems like he has let go of holding back
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: on that in any way. So I don't really understand
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: how people aren't figuring out who he is now. I
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: thought that sort of what ended up happening in this
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: scene was going to be like the culmination of of
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: all of these clues coming together to everybody realizing for
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: sure who he was. And honestly, I kind of thought
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: that this was going to be the trap that Do
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: Flamingo set up was that he knew Lufy was going
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: to enter this thing because he couldn't resist, and that
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: he would then be revealed to be a wanted criminal
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: and that they would, you know, swoop in and scoop
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: Loofy up and arrest him. But later on, when Do
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: Flamingo is talking to law about setting Lufy up and
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: creating this trap, it turns out the only trap that
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: Do Flamingo intended is for Loufy to get lured into
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: this fight at all, and Do Flamingo is under the
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: impression that surely Loofy will lose this fight, so it's
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: not even a question that he is going to come
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: out of the tournament because it's filled with all of
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: the best fighters of the land and he'll be able,
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: like all one of these guys will guaranteed take Loofy down.
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: And honestly, that is very weak sauce do Flamingo like that?
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: For me, that is an even worse plan than a
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: lot of the other plans that we have seen so
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: far set up by allegedly less competent bad guys. It's
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: just like, you know, it's it's like that thing from
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: Austin Powers when Doctor Evil's son is like, let's go
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: and shoot him. Let's just go sh we can do
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: it together, it'll be fun, and Doctor Eva being like, no, no, no, no, no,
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: that's not how we do it. I'm going to place
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: them in an easily escapable situation involving an overly elaborate
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: and exotic death what And that his son is like,
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: you're not even gonna stay around and make sure that
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: they die, And he's like, no, I'm just going to
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: leave and assume it all went to plan. And that's
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: what this feels like to me, is like Don Flamingo
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: Lufy hasn't gotten to where he is by being somebody
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: that is easy to beat, and the fact that you
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: are so utterly certain that you haven't got anything to
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: worry about is shocking. Shocking to me, my friend. I mean,
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: if you have learned nothing, it's embarrassing. I'm embarrassed. This
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: is not the quality of plan I was expecting from
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: a guy who is apparently like an international criminal mastermind.
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: I think it's like, I don't know, I just it
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: just feels really lazy overall, and I expected a lot
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: more from him. So Florian says, I have to say,
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know how much the general public know about
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: his powers and Dol Flamingo's people. How much do Flamingo's
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: people expect him to be there since it's trap? Okay,
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: so that's the question, because like, do Flamingo's people I
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: don't know that they are aware that they're trying to
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: trap Loufy, Like, I wouldn't have any doubt that Do
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: Flamingo planted his best fighters, But I'm not sure Dol
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: Flamingo is the type of guy to share with his
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: followers that he has that he intends this to be
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: a trap. I really could see him just putting his
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: guys in and being like, you guys want this devil fruit, right,
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: and then not really thinking about the fact that later
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: on he has no intention of handing over this fruit
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: and that he will take it and back out of
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: whatever the deal was supposed to be or whatever. So
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: that's like, I get what you're saying, and maybe that's true,
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: but I really I wouldn't bet on it, because I
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: feel like do Flamingo seems pretty insular on his plans
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: a lot of the time. How much the general public
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: knows that's another question that I feel like if the
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: answer is supposed to be that they don't know much
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: about his power, I'm just going to go on record
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: as saying that is bullshit. Loofy has been in the
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: news and on camera way too much for people to
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: not know what his power is at this point. It
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: just doesn't feel realistic to me that after all of
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: the notoriety that he has gained, that people can recognize
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: his face or hear his name and immediately be like
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: I know who you are or oh God, Strawhet is
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: here and get like intimidated, and that they won't also
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: know what his ability is. I just don't buy it.
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: If that's what I'm supposed to believe, that is not
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: gonna work because I just I don't I don't believe it.
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: Everybody has so much information on him as it is
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: that his power that has got to be like number
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: two on the list of things that they would know.
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: So I really hope that that's not what we're supposed
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: to be relying on. But if that isn't what we're
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: supposed to be relying on, then I don't know what
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: we are supposed to be relying on, because otherwise everybody
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: should be putting two and two together by now. So
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know. It's just like I'm kind of at
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: this point here where I'm like, either way, this is
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: not believable at this point that either people don't know
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: what his power is, or that they do know and
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: he's doing this right in front of them in the
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: in the arena and they aren't realizing who he is.
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: Either way, I find it to be very poorly thought
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: out as a story be and I have an issue
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: with it. So anyway, that's like where things stand with them,
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: And like the episode ends, we have like Dol Flamingo
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: kind of following Law and chasing him down, Law desperately
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: trying to contact Nami and she is not picking up
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: and do Flamingo just basically making fun of the fact
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: that like his alliance has fallen apart. Eventually, Nami does
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: talk to him, and he doesn't listen to a thing
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: that she's trying to tell him about the Sonny, and
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: I love the fact that like he hangs up and
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: she just yells that it talking to him was exactly
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: like talking to Loofy because he didn't listen to anything
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: that they said. I did think that was actually kind
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: of hilarious. Excuse me, but anyway, So the whole thing
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: is like they are supposed to get to Green Bit.
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: Now that's where they're supposed to head off to Zoro
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: and Frankie. They wind up in the same area with
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: the Tantata people and are because the Tantana have like
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: a list that not Loufy that usup gave them of
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: all their friends' names, so if they all have land
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: at the end for whatever reason, So these two basically
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: are like doing assembly, like they're like here, you know,
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: I'm raising their hands that we're here to I love
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: that Zoro is really mad at the fact that there
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: is a tournament happening and Loufy didn't tell him because,
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: as he puts it, I would have cleaned up and
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: he would too, He absolutely would. And it didn't occur
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: to me that he would react this way, but that
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: completely makes sense. That is so in character of course
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: he'd be like, what the fuck seriously, dude. So I
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: really really enjoyed that. And we have Robin and oos
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: Up going to the airport that the Tantata people have,
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: which has like basically their air force, and they ride
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: these little beetles, and Robin and Oosup are given these foxes,
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: which the Tumtata treat as like buses. And the foxes
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: have these huge flufy tails that are like kind of
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: up behind them in a big fluf almost more like
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: the tail of a peacock, you know what I mean,
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: the way that that fans out, so that forms this
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: back to their seat that oos Up and Robin can
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: lean against when they climb on the back of this fox.
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: And y'all, this looked like the coziest best thing. I
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: loved it. It was so adorable. I really like the
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: moment that Usup leans back and the tail. I thought
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: maybe he'd lean back and fall through it, or the
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: tail would twitch and he'd get knocked off or something,
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: but he doesn't. And then Robin leans back too, and
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: she says, oh, this fur is so lovely, and the
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: fox's head turns around and looks at her and just
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: goes ah, like they really appreciate the compliment. This was
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: like the most adorable, heartwarming moment, you guys. Know, like
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: the way the animals are used in the story. A
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: lot of the time in this show, it can make
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: me so sad because they are not They're pushed into
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: battle in a way that I hate. But when we
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: get the moments like this where animals get to be
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: like a fun part of things that are I'm treated
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: well and very cute, it makes me so happy. And
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: the only thing I'm worried about is that they're riding
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: them into battle and I am not excited to see
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: them get hurt, which I have to assume is eventually
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: going to happen. And honestly, like same thing for the Beatles,
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: but the Beatles, it's just different when it's a mammal,
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: you guys understand. If it's a beetle that gets hurt,
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: it just has a different vibe to it than an
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: adorable furry fox. And perhaps that's just me being a
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: specious bigot. I don't know, but I don't apologize for it.
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: I stand by it, and I feel like that's a
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: perfectly reasonable feeling to have. So yeah, the overall situation
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: with them heading out to battle, We've got almost everybody here,
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: so all we need now are for the folks who
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: were on the Sunny to rejoin. And I don't know
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: what's how they're gonna get the art lady to turn
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: things back because the Sunny isn't gonna stay this way.
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: I have to assume unless they like do a whole
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: new shit. But I just feel like too much was
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: put into making the Sunny and it being their new
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: home that I don't think we're abandoning that yet. Yeah,
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: Florian says, I want to travel like that everywhere I go. Literally,
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: like I am recording currently wrapped in this very fluffy
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: scarf because it's just cozy and nice, and those foxtails
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: just looked like the softest, nicest thing. And the foxes
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: are blue also and they're just very cute. I just
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: really liked them. We also have some different fighters from
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: the Tuntata that we meet, and I don't know if
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: we learn all of their names, but there is a
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: lady who's got like a cool outfit, and uh, I
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: always you know, as I as I watched this show,
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: some characters really stand out as ones that I'm like,
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: if I were to cosplay, that is a character I
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: ha cousplay, and I think she would be particularly fun.
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: But I don't know if she is a big enough
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: character in the show that people would recognize who I
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: was if I did that costume. You know, I feel
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: like it's very easy if I were to be somebody like,
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: oh my god, what's the one that had the depression ghosts?
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: She comes around like several times, so she would be recognizable.
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: Her outfit is so distinctive, but I don't know that
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: this little Tantata lady would be so, you know, just
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: sort of keeping a weird mental list. Florian says, what
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: do you think of the tails that the Tantatas have.
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: I haven't known what to think of those. They are
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: really weird, like they look animal like, but it's almost
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: like they're shape shifters, but they're not really, you know,
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: so yeah, I'm not really sure what to think of them,
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: if that's another result of a devil fruit thing or what.
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: But all right, well I have to wrap this up.
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: But these episodes it was like, it was fun, even
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: though parts of it were frustrating. But I am really
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: eager to see where we go from here. So all right, everybody,
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: thank you so much for listening, Thank you Florian for
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: hanging out and chatting with me as well, and until
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: next time to the loom, motherfuckers. That was an unspoiled
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: network podcast.
