One Piece, 717-719 · Spoil Me! One Piece

0:02
Speaker 1: This is an Unspoiled Network podcast. This is spoil Me,
0:08
Speaker 1: covering one piece episodes seven seventeen through seven nineteen Tiueno
0:16
Speaker 1: Bastardo Kiro's furious strike moving across the ground, the giant statue,
0:23
Speaker 1: Pika's surprise maneuver, and a decisive battle in mid air
0:28
Speaker 1: Zoro's new special secret technique blasts. In these episodes, Zoro
0:36
Speaker 1: begins to realize that the only way to defeat Pika
0:40
Speaker 1: is by keeping him in the air where he cannot
0:43
Speaker 1: reconnect with the ground. Actually a pretty clever understanding. I
0:51
Speaker 1: liked this, but overall these episodes did for me a
0:56
Speaker 1: little bit Welcome to boil Me, Welcome to the show everyone,
1:20
Speaker 1: I am Natasha. Thank you very much to Florian for
1:24
Speaker 1: commissioning this episode. So yeah, this was like a weird combo, guys,
1:30
Speaker 1: of I guess it's really what it is is that
1:33
Speaker 1: it's a cool idea that we eventually reach when it
1:38
Speaker 1: comes to Zoro and his attack mode and figuring out Pika.
1:43
Speaker 1: But it just has all been so drawn out that
1:47
Speaker 1: any interests that I might have in the development just
1:52
Speaker 1: gets worn out by the time it actually becomes anything.
1:55
Speaker 1: Does that make sense? And and this like the whole
2:06
Speaker 1: I mean, I the first of these three episodes, seven seventeen,
2:12
Speaker 1: was supposed to be included in my coverage with Florian
2:16
Speaker 1: last week, and honestly, I don't really feel like I
2:22
Speaker 1: need to even talk about it. And like Florian and
2:25
Speaker 1: I barely talked about the second half of episode seven
2:28
Speaker 1: sixteen because it was mostly to do with Hiros and
2:31
Speaker 1: Rebecca and Diamante and then this, unfortunately, out of these
2:37
Speaker 1: three episodes, one and a half maybe even more has
2:42
Speaker 1: to do with them again, and I I look, occasionally, guys,
2:57
Speaker 1: I will have these moments where I will feel like
3:01
Speaker 1: I must have zoned out, I must have grown someone
3:05
Speaker 1: interested that I miss something, and I will rewind and
3:09
Speaker 1: rewatch because I'll feel like I just didn't absorb any
3:12
Speaker 1: of that. I just clearly didn't. I need to regroup.
3:17
Speaker 1: And I think plenty of people have experienced this, where
3:21
Speaker 1: if you're listening to a podcast or an audiobook, you
3:25
Speaker 1: will realize that you missed a particular thing, and then
3:31
Speaker 1: you go back and you somehow managed to space out
3:36
Speaker 1: again in the exact same spot that you spaced out
3:40
Speaker 1: last time, so you wind up repeatedly rewinding and re
3:46
Speaker 1: listening but somehow, five times in a row you still
3:50
Speaker 1: manage to miss the thing. And that was what happened
3:55
Speaker 1: to me. Kids. I rewound, and rewatched, and rewound, and rewatched,
4:00
Speaker 1: and every single time my attention just wound up straying
4:07
Speaker 1: to the point that I was like, okay, you know what,
4:11
Speaker 1: hold on, I'm gonna go to the like. There are
4:17
Speaker 1: summaries on a wiki of the One Piece episodes, and
4:21
Speaker 1: I was like, let me just go and read the
4:25
Speaker 1: beginning of the summary for this episode, because sometimes what
4:28
Speaker 1: that does, weirdly is it gives me something to cling to,
4:33
Speaker 1: and when I rewatch, I will absorb it better if
4:36
Speaker 1: I've got like that guideline of what's about to happen
4:39
Speaker 1: in terms of plot beats already in my head. I
4:43
Speaker 1: don't do this often. I only do this when I
4:46
Speaker 1: find that my attention is like continually wandering. And even
4:52
Speaker 1: if I were to do it very often for other shows,
4:56
Speaker 1: there are very few things I cover that just have
4:58
Speaker 1: like a plot summer as detailed as the ones that
5:01
Speaker 1: exist for One Piece, So it's not really a thing
5:05
Speaker 1: almost at all. But I've got to tell you, when
5:11
Speaker 1: I went and read the summary for the first half
5:17
Speaker 1: of seven seventeen. In the one piece Wiki, I literally
5:25
Speaker 1: did the same thing, but with text. I read the
5:30
Speaker 1: whole like first paragraph, and I realized as I got
5:34
Speaker 1: to the end that I hadn't absorbed a goddamn thing
5:36
Speaker 1: and went back and read. I had to reread it
5:39
Speaker 1: like three times because kids, it's boring. It's very boring.
5:47
Speaker 1: I was like, I could not help but laugh because
5:50
Speaker 1: it's just a bunch of he says this, and then
5:53
Speaker 1: he attacks, and then he says the other thing, and
5:56
Speaker 1: then he attacks, and then he says, no, that's not true,
6:01
Speaker 1: and then he dodges and he attacks again, and that's
6:04
Speaker 1: literally all it is. So when I finally kind of
6:09
Speaker 1: like got my head around the scene, I realized that
6:12
Speaker 1: even if I had missed everything, it wouldn't matter. It
6:16
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. I'm gonna I just I'm just gonna read
6:21
Speaker 1: this to you guys. Leaving toward Diamante, Kiro slashes at him,
6:25
Speaker 1: resulting in a shockwave that blows Diamante back. While dodging
6:28
Speaker 1: and blocking Kiros attacks, Diamante expresses disbelief in him being
6:31
Speaker 1: able to move during the death end Hambre. After moving
6:35
Speaker 1: away from Kiros, Diamante asks him if his body is
6:38
Speaker 1: an iron ball, only to note that Kiros must be
6:41
Speaker 1: feeling immense pain after seeing a spiked ball land in
6:44
Speaker 1: his arm, before demanding to know if Kiros is a
6:46
Speaker 1: ball of stupidity. However, Kiros proclaims that feeling pain is
6:50
Speaker 1: a mark of being human and that the don Quixote
6:53
Speaker 1: pirates do not understand this, before clashing with Diamante once more.
6:56
Speaker 1: Recalling Scarlet's death. Kiros continues clashing with Dimona before claiming
7:01
Speaker 1: the don Quixote family does not understand the pain of
7:03
Speaker 1: losing someone they love or being unable to feel whatever
7:05
Speaker 1: they touch, declaring what he currently feels does not hurt
7:09
Speaker 1: when compared to the tragedies dress Rosa has suffered. Kira
7:12
Speaker 1: leaps forward and resumes clashing with Diamante and just saying
7:18
Speaker 1: resumes clashing with Diamante. That phrase is repeated like eight
7:25
Speaker 1: times or so in this because it's just a bunch
7:29
Speaker 1: of like, I suffered so bad? Yeah, did you suffer
7:34
Speaker 1: when I murdered your wife? It was so sad I
7:37
Speaker 1: didn't have a wife. Yeah, I killed her. Did you
7:40
Speaker 1: know that I killed her? I bet you really miss her,
7:42
Speaker 1: don't you? I do miss her? And I care about
7:45
Speaker 1: my daughter, and it's so sad that she didn't know
7:47
Speaker 1: who I was. Yeah, she didn't know who you were
7:50
Speaker 1: because I killed your wife and then we took over
7:53
Speaker 1: the island. Did you know that I killed your wife?
7:56
Speaker 1: And Rebecca off to the side with Nico Robin doing
8:00
Speaker 1: thing but gasping that he would mention their mother. I
8:03
Speaker 1: can't believe he would say that, but she has said
8:06
Speaker 1: it like fifty times. This is the dialogue, this is it.
8:11
Speaker 1: It's it's so bad, it's so bad. I look. There
8:18
Speaker 1: are times when a villain just taunting somebody with like
8:24
Speaker 1: I killed so and so that you liked. There are
8:27
Speaker 1: times when this works, but you can't just keep going
8:33
Speaker 1: to it over and over again because it just loses
8:37
Speaker 1: the bite that it's meant to have for the audience.
8:41
Speaker 1: And so then watching somebody like Rebecca reacting to it
8:45
Speaker 1: the whole time, I can't help but feel like I
8:49
Speaker 1: know that that was her mother, but it would lose
8:51
Speaker 1: its bite for Rebecca. Also, by this point, she's heard
8:56
Speaker 1: him say it too many goddamn times. I just refuse
9:00
Speaker 1: to believe that she would continue to be as affected
9:04
Speaker 1: by his shit talking. After he has gone to that
9:08
Speaker 1: same well eleven hundred and fifty times, like there's no
9:13
Speaker 1: water left in it, there's nothing at the bottom of
9:15
Speaker 1: that well. It's empty. The reacts are gone. So this
9:23
Speaker 1: I will dance right on past, because really it's like,
9:30
Speaker 1: the most that we get is just Diamante saying you
9:34
Speaker 1: should just let us have dress Rosa because we won
9:39
Speaker 1: all those years ago, and so you lost, get used
9:44
Speaker 1: to it. That's basically it. He's it's very like, I
9:51
Speaker 1: don't know it, it's just very whatever. And ultimately Kiros
9:58
Speaker 1: uses his technique trueno bastardo. This cuts Diamante's like wobbly
10:07
Speaker 1: sword in two pieces and wounds him terribly, and Diamante
10:13
Speaker 1: gets flung backward and lands on Scarlet's grave, which is
10:21
Speaker 1: like just enough, already, okay, we get it, we get it.
10:25
Speaker 1: She's dead. He killed her, did you know? And meanwhile,
10:30
Speaker 1: as all of this is happening, Violet is I never
10:36
Speaker 1: know what because they call her Violet, but then in
10:39
Speaker 1: the subtitles sometimes it says Viola, I'm just gonna keep
10:42
Speaker 1: going with Violet. But she is watching all of this,
10:45
Speaker 1: and she manages to tell everybody finally that Kirosis has
10:49
Speaker 1: beat Diamante and there's some guy there who's just like, wow,
10:53
Speaker 1: I can't believe he came out on top. Diamante was
10:55
Speaker 1: like at the top in the coliseum, and there's some
10:59
Speaker 1: other dude next in the It's like, are you fucking high?
11:02
Speaker 1: Don't you remember that Kiros was like the undefeated champion
11:07
Speaker 1: for a long time. Of course he beat him, what
11:10
Speaker 1: are you talking about? And honestly, I did appreciate that
11:13
Speaker 1: little reminder and that, like the whole thing with them
11:24
Speaker 1: at this plateau, you would think this is done now, right,
11:29
Speaker 1: like it just feels like it should be. But we
11:32
Speaker 1: go back to the plateau a lot of times just
11:38
Speaker 1: to sort of have like the reactions of everybody up
11:41
Speaker 1: there and to have like a check in, and it
11:45
Speaker 1: is I just want that to be not a part
11:50
Speaker 1: of the story anymore. And I know that I can't
11:52
Speaker 1: have that because they are kind of central to what
11:57
Speaker 1: is going on here. But I have to assume at
12:02
Speaker 1: some point Kiros is going to be the king of
12:05
Speaker 1: dress Rosa because Riku basically by the end of this
12:09
Speaker 1: trio of episodes, he's like, I'm gonna go down there
12:11
Speaker 1: and I'm going to help people. Now that my image
12:14
Speaker 1: has been rehabilitated. Everybody can see that I wasn't the
12:19
Speaker 1: guy who did everything they think, but I let them down.
12:26
Speaker 1: Dress Rosa got taken over and I am not worthy
12:31
Speaker 1: to keep doing the job. And my assumption is that
12:37
Speaker 1: he is going to hand over the brains to kiros
12:46
Speaker 1: I guess it's fine. Sure, whatever Sarah Fim says once again,
12:51
Speaker 1: like eighty percent of that is just anime. Padding Viola
12:54
Speaker 1: is her real name. Violet was what she went as
12:57
Speaker 1: as part of Dophy's crew. Okay, I look, barb be
13:06
Speaker 1: it from me, But don't you think if you're gonna
13:09
Speaker 1: pick a different name when you're part of the crew,
13:13
Speaker 1: you'd pick like a different different name. Like that just
13:19
Speaker 1: feels it's so close? Why bother? What's the point? I
13:25
Speaker 1: don't know. That's just me So all right, let's let's
13:32
Speaker 1: see the next section of that episode. Is we check
13:38
Speaker 1: in with is it ese? Is that how you say it?
13:41
Speaker 1: The Blind Marine? He is like, weirdly a little bit
13:49
Speaker 1: of a part of things, but there's he's not like
13:52
Speaker 1: doing all that much. He just wants to make sure
13:56
Speaker 1: that everybody is being more organized and get the Marines
14:00
Speaker 1: to gather all of the citizens together and that's kind
14:05
Speaker 1: of the only check in that we have with him.
14:09
Speaker 1: And uh. We go then to Pica now saying that
14:20
Speaker 1: I liked the revelation of how to defeat Pica. I
14:25
Speaker 1: really mean that in terms of the way that he works,
14:28
Speaker 1: because essentially what it is is that like he can
14:34
Speaker 1: travel to different stones by like basically okay, so the
14:43
Speaker 1: power that he has, what it is that Zoro finally
14:46
Speaker 1: zeros in on helloel is if I try to kill
14:52
Speaker 1: this guy's stone body, the actual body is hidden somewhere
14:58
Speaker 1: in there and is unaffected. I'm just cutting up stone,
15:02
Speaker 1: which just nothing, and I have to find his body.
15:06
Speaker 1: But when he is in such a huge mass of stone,
15:10
Speaker 1: how do I find it? Where is he? And he
15:15
Speaker 1: begins to realize that Pika can travel through the ground.
15:21
Speaker 1: So what I have to do is disconnect him from
15:26
Speaker 1: the ground and get him in mid air, so that
15:34
Speaker 1: if I cut him in half in mid air, he
15:39
Speaker 1: has to be in one of those two halves. And
15:42
Speaker 1: then if I cut that half in half, he's got
15:45
Speaker 1: to be in one of those two. And you can
15:47
Speaker 1: always tell which one he's in because he blinks his
15:50
Speaker 1: eyes open in whatever section he's in, or he talks
15:54
Speaker 1: and so he gives himself a way, which really Pika
15:58
Speaker 1: should kind of like pipe down and stop being so active,
16:02
Speaker 1: because then he could uh disguise which of the two
16:08
Speaker 1: halves he's in. But Pika just Pika's a talker, considering
16:14
Speaker 1: like how silly his voice sounds and everything. He really
16:19
Speaker 1: is a chatty kathy and so Zoro is able to
16:24
Speaker 1: like continually pare down or that's that's the goal. But first,
16:31
Speaker 1: what we have are we have this whole thing with
16:38
Speaker 1: Pica looking over at the plateau and he sees that
16:43
Speaker 1: everybody is like trying to get Riku to like encourage
16:48
Speaker 1: him to be king again, and Pika gets real fucking irritated,
16:54
Speaker 1: and he says that do Flamingo is the only one
16:58
Speaker 1: worthy to be king. He tries to do the whole
17:03
Speaker 1: like after everything he did to you when he's talking
17:07
Speaker 1: to Rebecca and to Kiros, and it's so weird because
17:13
Speaker 1: I guess he's thinking that they don't know the truth
17:19
Speaker 1: at this point, sir, maybe knowing what do you think?
17:26
Speaker 1: Like you know what I'm saying, like just the idea
17:30
Speaker 1: that this secret of what he really did has been
17:33
Speaker 1: kept this whole time, my friend, I mean of course
17:39
Speaker 1: they are aware that this was all a set up
17:41
Speaker 1: by now, so they have to say that to him,
17:44
Speaker 1: you know, and be like, dude, we know Rico didn't
17:48
Speaker 1: actually kill a bunch of people and he didn't do X,
17:51
Speaker 1: Y and Z, And it just seems like it irritates
17:54
Speaker 1: him that they are aware, But he's very It's him
18:03
Speaker 1: and Diamante are both surprisingly ride or die when it
18:12
Speaker 1: comes to Do Flamingo. And when I say surprisingly, I
18:17
Speaker 1: guess what I mean is it's not really surprising in
18:20
Speaker 1: a villain exactly. It's more that I don't really know what.
18:26
Speaker 1: I would like a little bit more detail on what
18:31
Speaker 1: it is they see in Do Flamingo that makes them
18:35
Speaker 1: think that he is such a worthy ruler because the
18:39
Speaker 1: fact that he has like won in the past. Sure,
18:44
Speaker 1: but I haven't really gotten a lot of like substance
18:50
Speaker 1: from the way that everybody who works for him sort
18:54
Speaker 1: of worships him. The main takeaway is just that he
18:58
Speaker 1: tends to win most of the time. Maybe that's it.
19:05
Speaker 1: Maybe it's that simple, you know that he just sends
19:08
Speaker 1: to be the strongest. He has a power set that
19:12
Speaker 1: is really really difficult to defend against, and that inherently
19:17
Speaker 1: makes him worthy. But if that is what it is,
19:23
Speaker 1: I would kind of like to hear them say it.
19:28
Speaker 1: It just feels like they keep talking about how he's
19:31
Speaker 1: the only one who's worthy, and that we won, you lost,
19:37
Speaker 1: and so you're you should just accept the way things
19:41
Speaker 1: are in a way that's sort of like it feels
19:48
Speaker 1: like a very half asked kind of reasoning. To me,
19:53
Speaker 1: it feels like it doesn't feel so much like they
19:58
Speaker 1: are saying do Flamingo would be such a good ruler.
20:01
Speaker 1: It feels a lot more like what they're saying is,
20:05
Speaker 1: Oh my god, we already beat you guys. Can't you
20:08
Speaker 1: just settle down? This is a lot of work. I'm
20:11
Speaker 1: really sick of having to beat you guys back down
20:13
Speaker 1: over and over again. That's what it sounds like to me.
20:16
Speaker 1: Is less I think Dol Flamingo is the man for
20:20
Speaker 1: the job and much more. He's already king Just leave it,
20:27
Speaker 1: Just leave it alone, you know what I mean. And
20:29
Speaker 1: there's something about both of them feeling this way in
20:33
Speaker 1: this vague sense that's like a part of me was
20:37
Speaker 1: sort of interested in the fact that they are both arguing.
20:41
Speaker 1: For Dol Flamingo, it's not just about I I'm on
20:47
Speaker 1: this certain side, and I want my side to win.
20:50
Speaker 1: What they are starting to do is argue why Dolflo
20:53
Speaker 1: Mingo is better for everybody, but they never actually like
20:57
Speaker 1: explain in detail what what they mean why that is.
21:02
Speaker 1: And I really kind of you, guys. I'm always this one.
21:07
Speaker 1: I want an itemized list, I want opening arguments. I
21:11
Speaker 1: want a courtroom drama where we present the witnesses from
21:17
Speaker 1: either side. We present a you know, maybe bar graph
21:22
Speaker 1: about the economy, perhaps have some some you know reports
21:30
Speaker 1: about trade. Let's sit down and let's have a discussion.
21:34
Speaker 1: But honestly, it's just very much like Dophie's cool. He's
21:40
Speaker 1: very cool and badass, and you should let him rule
21:43
Speaker 1: you because you should be so lucky. It's nothing. So
21:49
Speaker 1: I was a little disappointed because Peka's like throwing in
21:52
Speaker 1: and getting pretty hardcore about like no, no, no, Rico's
21:57
Speaker 1: not taking his country back. That's not what's happening is bullshit.
22:02
Speaker 1: It could have been a compelling thing to have happen,
22:07
Speaker 1: and instead it just feels sort of flat. And what's
22:13
Speaker 1: really a shame about it is that Pika is such
22:16
Speaker 1: a weirdo character that having him in particular be the
22:22
Speaker 1: one that's like rooting for dofel Mingo. You could do
22:31
Speaker 1: something kind of interesting with that. I don't know, I
22:34
Speaker 1: just feel like there's potential there. So anyway, this whole
22:38
Speaker 1: thing with like Pika sort of he was focused entirely
22:44
Speaker 1: on his fight with Zoro, but once he starts to
22:47
Speaker 1: realize that Riku is being put back on the table,
22:50
Speaker 1: he gets quite distracted and he decides that he is
22:55
Speaker 1: not gonna take it, and he sets up all of
23:00
Speaker 1: these barriers as he takes off, using you know, the
23:06
Speaker 1: earth to travel in pretty much, and he makes it
23:13
Speaker 1: so that Zorro cannot easily follow him because Zorro is
23:17
Speaker 1: on foot. This is this is one of those things
23:22
Speaker 1: that happens with this show where I get that, like, yes,
23:26
Speaker 1: Zorro is on foot, but also later on he's like
23:32
Speaker 1: literally fighting in mid air, and the show just never
23:37
Speaker 1: seems to know what it wants to do in terms
23:39
Speaker 1: of like is this flight? Can people technically fly? It
23:45
Speaker 1: just is a little disingenuous for me to be like, oh,
23:48
Speaker 1: I can't get there in time because I'm being blocked off,
23:52
Speaker 1: when like I have personally seen Zorro jump forty feet
23:58
Speaker 1: and just push himself off a rock to another rock
24:03
Speaker 1: that's thirty feet ahead and then push himself off there
24:06
Speaker 1: and basically do a parkore between cliff sides and reach
24:10
Speaker 1: somebody that's half mile away in fifteen seconds. I've seen it,
24:17
Speaker 1: we've done it. So for all of a sudden us
24:20
Speaker 1: to be like, oh, I can't catch him. He set
24:22
Speaker 1: this up so that I couldn't reach him. Uh uh,
24:25
Speaker 1: I'm not buying it, especially because it's all of these
24:28
Speaker 1: like stone spikes, which in my mind is like the
24:33
Speaker 1: exact type of thing that would be perfect for a
24:36
Speaker 1: character like Zoro to use to travel to get to
24:39
Speaker 1: him fast. So it's just the only thing that I
24:44
Speaker 1: did think was kind of funny was Zoro going through
24:47
Speaker 1: all of his different plans that he could do. So
24:52
Speaker 1: first he's just like I could slash him from real
24:54
Speaker 1: far away, and then he's like, Okay, by the time
24:58
Speaker 1: that reach him, reaches him, there's gonna be like no power,
25:01
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be like I'm just slapping him across
25:03
Speaker 1: the face, and no, I could jump on top of him.
25:09
Speaker 1: Now I can't jump all the way up there. That's
25:11
Speaker 1: not happening either. Then he's like I could try and
25:14
Speaker 1: warn Zorro and everybody, and he just literally starts yelling, no,
25:20
Speaker 1: Zoro us up. Sorry, he could try and warn Oosop
25:22
Speaker 1: and everybody. So he starts yelling and very quickly realizes, Yeah,
25:30
Speaker 1: that's not gonna work either because I'm too far away
25:33
Speaker 1: and there's too much noise. So let's see what is
25:39
Speaker 1: the next one, because there's a bunch of oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
25:42
Speaker 1: Then he's like, oh, I know transponder stail and then
25:45
Speaker 1: he reaches into his pocket and he's just like, oh,
25:48
Speaker 1: I guess I dropped it. And it's weird because there's
25:50
Speaker 1: like a cut right here to Oosop as if Usop
25:55
Speaker 1: saw Zorro realizing that he had dropped it. But I
26:00
Speaker 1: couldn't tell if that was just like a weird coincidence
26:03
Speaker 1: or if I am supposed to think that that's what
26:05
Speaker 1: happened there. And anyway, Zora is also like, if I
26:11
Speaker 1: yelled to them, they're not going to have time to
26:13
Speaker 1: get out of the way in any case, and maybe
26:20
Speaker 1: five sees that, like, oh, Pika is about to try
26:25
Speaker 1: and kill Riku, and this results like because she steps
26:33
Speaker 1: in with cy at a few different points, and I
26:36
Speaker 1: was sort of interested in how this is going to
26:38
Speaker 1: shake out, but it turns out that yeah, Pika sees
26:43
Speaker 1: that she is working with them and is instantly like, wow,
26:49
Speaker 1: you completely betrayed us, Oh my god, and he starts
26:55
Speaker 1: to attack her as well. Pika is pretty much kind
27:00
Speaker 1: of going after like anybody who isn't nailed down. You know,
27:05
Speaker 1: there is a point where and correct me if I'm wrong,
27:08
Speaker 1: but it almost looks like he's going after the lower
27:13
Speaker 1: level folks on his own side, which I thought was
27:17
Speaker 1: sort of weird, And I don't know if it's supposed
27:18
Speaker 1: to be, like is he just having a tantrum and
27:20
Speaker 1: so he doesn't realize or what. So around this time
27:28
Speaker 1: is when Zoro starts to like realize exactly how we're
27:31
Speaker 1: going to be able to take this guy down, and
27:36
Speaker 1: the whole like huge imposing quality of Pika standing over
27:45
Speaker 1: everybody on the plateau. I have to admit, it's like
27:51
Speaker 1: lost its impact at this point. You know, it just
27:57
Speaker 1: happens when you draw something out this much, the impressive
28:03
Speaker 1: quality that you begin to develop from seeing the first
28:08
Speaker 1: time we saw Pika's ability come on, it was like
28:13
Speaker 1: very very impressive. It was so cool, and it's gotten
28:18
Speaker 1: to this place where it's almost like I feel like
28:21
Speaker 1: a dog a little bit, where it's just too big
28:24
Speaker 1: for me to fully comprehend. And now it's just sort
28:28
Speaker 1: of a vague impression of like, oh, yeah, there's a
28:34
Speaker 1: face on this hill, and that isn't like it's supposed
28:38
Speaker 1: to be. This guy is a mountain. You know. That
28:42
Speaker 1: sounds very impressive in a vacuum, but the effect of
28:47
Speaker 1: it being in my face over and over again is
28:51
Speaker 1: such that I start to just be like, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay,
28:54
Speaker 1: so the guy's big whatever. And I regret a little
28:59
Speaker 1: bit that it starts to just numb me, because I
29:02
Speaker 1: think this actual moment where Zoro starts to like cut
29:07
Speaker 1: him in half would hit a bit harder if I
29:10
Speaker 1: didn't feel so inured to the effect of this by now.
29:17
Speaker 1: So let's see, there's a bunch of Marines as well
29:22
Speaker 1: who are hitting Pika with cannonballs, and I think this
29:26
Speaker 1: was part of what also was like just making me
29:30
Speaker 1: kind of zone out during this episode, is I had
29:36
Speaker 1: to sit through a lot of attacks on Pika that
29:40
Speaker 1: I knew weren't gonna work. You know. It was just
29:44
Speaker 1: like one after another of things that I'm just why
29:47
Speaker 1: are you wasting my time? And your time. Of course,
29:51
Speaker 1: cannon balls are not going to work on this fucking guy.
29:54
Speaker 1: It's not going to happen, and having to just sit
29:58
Speaker 1: and watch them, and it's more like we have to
30:01
Speaker 1: make the Marines do something, you know. It almost doesn't
30:04
Speaker 1: even feel like they themselves think they're going to have
30:07
Speaker 1: an effect so much as well. We can't just like
30:09
Speaker 1: sit here and do nothing. So I guess, sure, cannonballs,
30:13
Speaker 1: that's the best we can come up with. And we
30:20
Speaker 1: get this guy. I think his name is Tank. There's
30:23
Speaker 1: a moment in the first of these three episodes where
30:28
Speaker 1: Viola is remembering how when she first heard that Diamante
30:33
Speaker 1: was bragging that he killed Scarlet, she was going to
30:39
Speaker 1: jump in and beat the shit out of him. Basically,
30:42
Speaker 1: she was disgusted and very emotional, and this guy Tank
30:48
Speaker 1: holds her back from doing it and you know, potentially
30:51
Speaker 1: fucking things up for everybody. And that occurs to her
30:58
Speaker 1: that moment where Tank is like trying to stop her.
31:01
Speaker 1: It's in her memories because the guy is like crying,
31:04
Speaker 1: He is sobbing frankly at the thought that she's going
31:08
Speaker 1: to like throw herself away by picking a fight with
31:10
Speaker 1: this dude. I would argue he's picking a fight with
31:13
Speaker 1: everybody else, but you know, that's like the point of him,
31:18
Speaker 1: I suppose, But yeah, he uh, the guy Tank winds
31:25
Speaker 1: up coming back to being important again for a minute
31:30
Speaker 1: where he's the one who is going to help Ricu
31:34
Speaker 1: retreat and also like get all of the other people
31:37
Speaker 1: who are on or around the plateau out of the way.
31:44
Speaker 1: And Ricu is like, I am going to let everybody
31:50
Speaker 1: else get out of here, but I'm not going anywhere
31:53
Speaker 1: because clearly Pica is after me. So if I'm the target,
31:58
Speaker 1: let me just stay here and face this guy. And
32:08
Speaker 1: Pika is like, all right, well, I'm going to kill
32:11
Speaker 1: you and I'm gonna crush this entire plateau. And Ricu
32:17
Speaker 1: isn't even resisting at all. He is very much in
32:21
Speaker 1: a headspace right now. I think of just like Penance.
32:25
Speaker 1: You know, I am paying for my failures as a leader.
32:31
Speaker 1: And I have such mixed feelings about this, because I
32:39
Speaker 1: admire anybody who is in a leadership position for taking
32:45
Speaker 1: responsibility in a general sense. That's always been something that's
32:49
Speaker 1: missing in leadership in my world, and so I'm a fan.
32:54
Speaker 1: On the other hand, there is a point where I'm like, Okay,
32:57
Speaker 1: this isn't doing anything for anybody, though, you get that right,
33:01
Speaker 1: Like this is not helping, and you're like, I think
33:07
Speaker 1: the thing that he thinks is happening here is if
33:11
Speaker 1: I make myself a target and take my punishment, I
33:16
Speaker 1: will be saving the lives of all of these other
33:19
Speaker 1: people who are here through no fault of their own
33:23
Speaker 1: that I already fucked up with to begin with. And
33:30
Speaker 1: I will finally get to lay down my life in
33:34
Speaker 1: place of theirs so that I can offer them the
33:40
Speaker 1: protection I should have offered all those days in the past,
33:45
Speaker 1: when actually I was the one galloping around hurting people
33:50
Speaker 1: and being the one swinging the sword. Now I can
33:53
Speaker 1: put myself between them and the sword, and I do
33:59
Speaker 1: admire that. Actually I like it. And Riku, I haven't
34:02
Speaker 1: gotten that much of him since all of this is
34:05
Speaker 1: like turn this corner, and I find him sort of
34:07
Speaker 1: interesting because he's like he's he's he's a little bit
34:14
Speaker 1: boring in some ways, but I feel like there's a
34:16
Speaker 1: lot of potential there, And I guess that's really what
34:22
Speaker 1: it is, is more that I'm interested in his potential
34:24
Speaker 1: more than what's actually being done with him. But the
34:29
Speaker 1: fact that he is just sort of like offering himself up.
34:32
Speaker 1: Zoro does not think much of this, and he also
34:35
Speaker 1: is like, I don't like the fact that Pika is
34:38
Speaker 1: going to flatten this guy when he's not offering up
34:44
Speaker 1: any fight, Like that's not the whole point is the
34:50
Speaker 1: fight to Zoro. So Pika just being like, I'm just
34:53
Speaker 1: going to crush you an unresisting, willing participant, I think
34:59
Speaker 1: kind of short shorts out his brain a little bit.
35:04
Speaker 1: And then Pika starts to like bring down the hammer
35:10
Speaker 1: because he's made one of his fists into a giant,
35:13
Speaker 1: you know, house size thing, bigger than a house actually,
35:17
Speaker 1: And this is when Zoro jumps in with his armament
35:20
Speaker 1: hockey and begins to slice him up. This is also
35:29
Speaker 1: when Riku states, like, because Pica is mocking him for
35:33
Speaker 1: all of his fuck ups, And this is when Riku says,
35:38
Speaker 1: for sure, oh yeah, after all of this, like I
35:40
Speaker 1: am not taking the throne back again. That's a wrap
35:43
Speaker 1: on that job for me. And I didn't really get
35:47
Speaker 1: a good sense of like if Pica was surprised by
35:52
Speaker 1: that at all. I kind of wondered if he was thinking,
35:57
Speaker 1: like I didn't expect it. I'll say that. I'm curious
36:02
Speaker 1: if you guys thought that this was going to be
36:04
Speaker 1: the way it would go. Riku's deciding I'm going to
36:08
Speaker 1: abdicate the throne. It makes sense actually politically speaking, if
36:14
Speaker 1: you fucked up this bad and you have been like
36:17
Speaker 1: a prisoner of the enemy this whole time, and you
36:20
Speaker 1: were kept so separate from everyone that the whole kingdom
36:25
Speaker 1: literally assumed you were dead. Yeah, yeah, I think probably
36:31
Speaker 1: it is for the best that you not be the
36:35
Speaker 1: king anymore. Like, how do you command respect after being
36:41
Speaker 1: treated like this and the entire kingdom is taken over
36:46
Speaker 1: by a bad, bad man and you were there by
36:53
Speaker 1: his side the whole time. And that's not to say
36:55
Speaker 1: it all that he's like complicit, but knowing that kind
37:00
Speaker 1: of humiliation that he has been forced to experience, it's
37:05
Speaker 1: just not something that really inspires a great level of
37:07
Speaker 1: trust I could see in people. So I just have
37:13
Speaker 1: a I just feel sort of like I should have
37:18
Speaker 1: seen coming that Rica would not want the throne back,
37:21
Speaker 1: But I genuinely just sort of expected we're just going
37:25
Speaker 1: to go back to how everything had been. I really did.
37:29
Speaker 1: I figured we are working toward going back to the
37:34
Speaker 1: way it had all used to be and trying to
37:39
Speaker 1: get closer to the past and working backward, which isn't
37:44
Speaker 1: really a great mindset. That's not like, that's not the
37:49
Speaker 1: way forward, that's literally not the way forward. So once
37:53
Speaker 1: I realized, I was, like, I feel like a bit
37:57
Speaker 1: I felt very old. Really was it was because it
38:02
Speaker 1: was sort of giving. Of course, you're just trying to
38:06
Speaker 1: reach into the past to regain something that has been
38:11
Speaker 1: lost forever Natasha. You know, it felt like a bit
38:13
Speaker 1: of an indictment that it didn't occur to me that
38:15
Speaker 1: maybe we should just do something new now. And like
38:20
Speaker 1: I said, I am assuming that it's going to be Kiros.
38:23
Speaker 1: I've got to be real though. If it isn't Kiros,
38:28
Speaker 1: that would be pretty cool. I would be into it.
38:31
Speaker 1: Like Kiros is just such the obvious choice, and to
38:38
Speaker 1: a point, that's fine, but like, look, I know that
38:45
Speaker 1: this is me just wishing for a thing that's never
38:48
Speaker 1: going to happen. It would, though, be kind of nice
38:53
Speaker 1: if we could have a woman ruler. What about that
38:58
Speaker 1: crazy idea? But what if we had Rebecca be the
39:04
Speaker 1: queen instead of there being a king. I don't think
39:13
Speaker 1: that that is likely to happen at all. And I
39:17
Speaker 1: especially don't think that it is likely to happen because
39:20
Speaker 1: Rebecca is still single. And maybe this is me just
39:25
Speaker 1: like not giving Oda much credit here, but forgive me,
39:32
Speaker 1: it does not seem like she Like women characters are
39:38
Speaker 1: often trusted with power unless they have a male partner
39:43
Speaker 1: in the picture. I just the only time that we
39:48
Speaker 1: have really seen a woman in power is like that
39:53
Speaker 1: wasn't an actual bad guy is Boa Hancock and she
39:59
Speaker 1: was sort of strattling the line between that guy think
40:02
Speaker 1: a guy and then she fell totally obsessive with Loofy.
40:07
Speaker 1: So now like she's not in a relationship, but it
40:09
Speaker 1: feels like her power has been kind of diminished in
40:13
Speaker 1: making her so foolish over him. So I feel like
40:20
Speaker 1: it's just yeah, I just don't see it. Oh, Seraphim
40:26
Speaker 1: has been commenting, Sorry, his crew is pretty much a
40:29
Speaker 1: cult of personality. Logic doesn't matter. Their leader is just amazing.
40:32
Speaker 1: It deserves to be in charge. There's not really anything
40:35
Speaker 1: you could do in this situation. If going that route,
40:37
Speaker 1: Viola would be the next in line. Oh is she
40:40
Speaker 1: older than Rebecca? Okay, I did not keep track, but
40:46
Speaker 1: I believe you. I the Violet Viola I'm trying to
40:56
Speaker 1: think because she was sort of involved with Uh sangy,
41:03
Speaker 1: But like, I know, Sanji's not gonna be king, He's
41:05
Speaker 1: not gonna stay with her and dress Rosa, So I
41:08
Speaker 1: don't see that happening either. I think it's gonna have
41:12
Speaker 1: to be Kiros. And I also feel like if we
41:16
Speaker 1: were looking at this from the perspective of what it
41:19
Speaker 1: would be like in real life, Kiros is the choice
41:23
Speaker 1: because he's been turned into a toy, and in that sense,
41:30
Speaker 1: he has experienced something that a lot of people in
41:33
Speaker 1: the city would have experienced that would be very difficult
41:35
Speaker 1: to like explain to someone who has not gone through it.
41:40
Speaker 1: So I feel like he would have a big advantage
41:42
Speaker 1: there in saying, like, I'm one of you guys, I
41:46
Speaker 1: went through the same thing, and just the fact that,
41:49
Speaker 1: like he was not enslaved when he was transformed, so
41:55
Speaker 1: he manages to continue to be badass and try to
42:00
Speaker 1: fight back even when he's a toy, which, like it's
42:03
Speaker 1: no fault of anybody else's that they don't do that
42:06
Speaker 1: because they are enslave, they cannot make choices for themselves.
42:10
Speaker 1: They are put in a position specifically where they have
42:13
Speaker 1: to do as they are told to do. So this
42:15
Speaker 1: is no criticism, but I could see that really really
42:19
Speaker 1: working for him if you were talking about like an
42:22
Speaker 1: election platform, you know what I mean, having it be
42:28
Speaker 1: I not only was turned into a toy, my child
42:31
Speaker 1: forgot me, my wife was murdered. I went through all
42:33
Speaker 1: these hardships, and yet throughout it all, despite everything, I
42:39
Speaker 1: never forgot about all of you, and I never stopped
42:42
Speaker 1: fighting for dress Rosa. Like, that's a pretty compelling platform
42:47
Speaker 1: to run on. Oh, Seraphim says, violent is Rebecca's aunt, right,
42:55
Speaker 1: that's right, she was Scarlet's sister. Okay, yeah, thank you.
43:02
Speaker 1: So anyway, Okay, I'm all over the place here, but frankly,
43:06
Speaker 1: like a part of me feels like I've kind of
43:08
Speaker 1: already talked about everything because there's not all that much
43:11
Speaker 1: going on except that it's lots of back and forth
43:15
Speaker 1: that it feels like I've watched the same back and
43:18
Speaker 1: forth eight times by the time we get to the
43:20
Speaker 1: one that actually matters. So we have Zoro cutting Peka down,
43:27
Speaker 1: uh and pecause it's just basically like mocking Zoro for
43:33
Speaker 1: a little bit, going like you really think you figured
43:36
Speaker 1: me out? Huh? You really thought you won, and he
43:41
Speaker 1: covers his entire body in hockey. He uses the armament hockey.
43:46
Speaker 1: It's very interesting to me every time somebody reveals that
43:50
Speaker 1: they can use armament hockey, because I can't help but
43:54
Speaker 1: feel a little bit like, isn't that convenient? I thought
44:00
Speaker 1: it was a lot less known than it seems to be,
44:05
Speaker 1: and that just might be me, you know, having assigned
44:10
Speaker 1: a frequency and a value to it. But it just
44:15
Speaker 1: keeps popping up with people that I would not think
44:18
Speaker 1: know how to do it. And now I'm starting to
44:20
Speaker 1: think I have to assume most people, like at this
44:25
Speaker 1: point in the story can do it. So Zorro is like, oh, hockey,
44:33
Speaker 1: I got hockey too, how about that and basically says,
44:40
Speaker 1: let's just have a little dick measuring contest right now,
44:43
Speaker 1: see who's is stronger, And of course Pica is like,
44:47
Speaker 1: what do you mine is stronger? What are you even
44:50
Speaker 1: talking about? And Zorro has an interesting moment here where
44:57
Speaker 1: he thinks back to fighting dracoul Mihawk and remembers that
45:05
Speaker 1: he really thought he was the best. There was no
45:09
Speaker 1: doubt in his mind, and how utterly humbled he was
45:16
Speaker 1: when he is like, this fight I had forgotten that
45:18
Speaker 1: Miehawk literally takes out the smallest sword he has, not
45:22
Speaker 1: even a sword. It's like a little shrimp knife. It's
45:26
Speaker 1: so it's so insulting, you guys, it really is. But yeah,
45:31
Speaker 1: it's just thinking back to this moment, and he slashes
45:39
Speaker 1: at him, and of course Pika's whole head splits the
45:44
Speaker 1: fuck open and he starts coughing up blood down on
45:49
Speaker 1: the ground. Bro is the King with the punch, Elizabella.
45:58
Speaker 1: He keeps this and actually kind of funny, you guys.
46:01
Speaker 1: He keeps trying throughout these episodes to be like, I
46:04
Speaker 1: got it, I got it, I could do something. I
46:06
Speaker 1: got my punch, and Zoro keeps telling him save it,
46:10
Speaker 1: just save your punch, save your punch, and he when
46:18
Speaker 1: he slices up Pica, Elizabella is like, oh my god,
46:23
Speaker 1: you saved Riku. And he is so respectful for a moment.
46:29
Speaker 1: But then because of slicing up Pika in mid air,
46:34
Speaker 1: there's all these huge chunks of stone that are just
46:38
Speaker 1: falling downward. And like when I say huge, I am
46:41
Speaker 1: talking like apartment building sized. I am not talking big
46:46
Speaker 1: like the size of a car. This the thing that is, uh,
46:54
Speaker 1: the truth about this whole thing is that everybody in
46:59
Speaker 1: dress Roast should be dead. The amount of attacks that
47:06
Speaker 1: have happened on dressed Rosa that do not in any
47:11
Speaker 1: way take into account the many civilians standing nearby, the
47:16
Speaker 1: number of times where there has been an earthquake, huge
47:20
Speaker 1: cracks forming in the street with people falling in. We've
47:23
Speaker 1: had explosions going off, we've had comets falling from the sky,
47:28
Speaker 1: and now we've got like a nine to eleven style Yeah,
47:33
Speaker 1: I said it, pieces of mortar falling down to the ground.
47:38
Speaker 1: Every single solitary human being on dress Rosa would be dead,
47:45
Speaker 1: and they're not. And that's fine. But let's just be
47:50
Speaker 1: very very for real for a second here. So as
47:55
Speaker 1: this comes down, elicit Pellow punches the rubble away and
48:04
Speaker 1: then he yells at Zoro about how I can't believe
48:09
Speaker 1: you had me save my punch this whole time, and
48:11
Speaker 1: all I did was basically be a janitor. That's the
48:15
Speaker 1: wording that he uses. It is just like you just
48:18
Speaker 1: had me on cleanup duty. I cackled. That was actually
48:24
Speaker 1: really funny to me, Like it's ultimately like you probably
48:30
Speaker 1: saved more lives than you would have otherwise, because it
48:37
Speaker 1: just feels to me like this punch thing. I don't
48:43
Speaker 1: really know how effective it would have been, so probably
48:46
Speaker 1: punching rubble keeping it from landing on people, you probably
48:50
Speaker 1: did more good with that than you would have in
48:51
Speaker 1: any other use of your punch. Especially I don't know
48:57
Speaker 1: about this punch up against hockey. Now that Pika had
49:01
Speaker 1: hockey this whole time, how am I supposed to look
49:04
Speaker 1: at this? I feel like there's no world in which
49:11
Speaker 1: this punch from this king overpowers hockey and does jack shit.
49:16
Speaker 1: And maybe that's me just underestimating him. I don't know,
49:19
Speaker 1: but I think that likely he either underestimates his enemy,
49:25
Speaker 1: overestimates himself, or is just wrecked up in his ego
49:30
Speaker 1: and that this was good for him. Seraphim says it's
49:36
Speaker 1: also a longstanding fan concept that a lot of people
49:41
Speaker 1: we met were using it all the time. The show
49:44
Speaker 1: just didn't start using the black coloring to show it
49:47
Speaker 1: off till after the time. Skip. Nah, I can't decide
49:52
Speaker 1: how I feel about that. I get what you mean,
49:55
Speaker 1: and probably that's true. I could see that being like
50:00
Speaker 1: a believable explanation, but I've got to admit it feels
50:07
Speaker 1: a little bit of a cheat. And maybe that's not fair.
50:11
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, I can't decide,
50:17
Speaker 1: but I think you're probably right. So that's the end
50:27
Speaker 1: of seven nineteen guys. I have like almost ten minutes remaining,
50:34
Speaker 1: and I feel like I've covered everything in these three
50:36
Speaker 1: episodes because there's not that much else. We just spend
50:42
Speaker 1: most of our time on Kiro's diamante and I don't
50:46
Speaker 1: even want to include Rebecca in it anymore. When I'm
50:48
Speaker 1: saying it, I'm including Rebecca by a default because Kiros
50:51
Speaker 1: is her dad and he's doing this for her allegedly,
50:53
Speaker 1: and YadA, YadA, YadA. But it just does not feel
50:56
Speaker 1: like Rebecca's actually doing anything at this point. So a
51:00
Speaker 1: big part of me is sort of like, eugh whatever
51:03
Speaker 1: about her and doesn't feel like she's really involved now.
51:07
Speaker 1: And Robin is pretty badly injured from making this like
51:13
Speaker 1: umbrella thing that she did to block them all from
51:16
Speaker 1: that rain. So honestly, Robin, I don't want you injuring
51:26
Speaker 1: yourself on Rebecca's behalf ever again. And maybe that's like
51:29
Speaker 1: cold blooded of me to say, but I'm sorry, Rebecca,
51:33
Speaker 1: you are not worth it. You are very very boring,
51:37
Speaker 1: and I guess I can pardon it this time because
51:42
Speaker 1: Robin had to also save herself, so making this umbrella
51:46
Speaker 1: saved her also, And it wasn't just her like sacrificing
51:50
Speaker 1: herself on behalf of Rebecca, it was for everybody. But like,
51:55
Speaker 1: that's the only time I'm going to make this exception. Otherwise,
51:59
Speaker 1: don't do this again. I don't like it. Robin. Robin
52:04
Speaker 1: has been, as you all know, kind of my least
52:08
Speaker 1: favorite of the crew because I just find her boring
52:12
Speaker 1: and I appreciate the attempts to have her be like
52:19
Speaker 1: the sort of morbid one and whatnot, and like sometimes
52:23
Speaker 1: that lands, but most of the time she just comes
52:28
Speaker 1: across as very dull. So you really must know how
52:35
Speaker 1: I feel about Rebecca. If I am reprimanding Robin for
52:39
Speaker 1: risking herself on Rebecca's behalf, it's got to be pretty bad.
52:47
Speaker 1: I just I feel so sad about this, in large
52:50
Speaker 1: part because it's a woman character problem. Clearly with this show.
52:57
Speaker 1: He just has a lot of women be really really
53:02
Speaker 1: boring because they have to be good in this way
53:08
Speaker 1: that is so narrow and so almost like childish. You
53:17
Speaker 1: know that it does a complete disservice to actual real
53:24
Speaker 1: human beings a lot of the time, and maybe this
53:30
Speaker 1: is just something that feels like it applies to women
53:34
Speaker 1: so much because there are so few women characters overall
53:36
Speaker 1: that matter that I am on high alert with them,
53:40
Speaker 1: and probably if I did the math, there's lots of
53:43
Speaker 1: male characters that are just as dull. But when you've
53:47
Speaker 1: got so many men characters, it doesn't matter that some
53:51
Speaker 1: of them are boring because you've got a billion to
53:53
Speaker 1: choose from. And not me being like one of our
53:59
Speaker 1: mains but also being real greedy. That's like as close
54:02
Speaker 1: as we come to somebody who's of a woman who's
54:09
Speaker 1: of real importance and has like a through line flaw
54:13
Speaker 1: to her that makes her seem like kind of a
54:17
Speaker 1: less good person, because even like the flaw with Baby five,
54:22
Speaker 1: it's like a flaw that means that she's too giving,
54:26
Speaker 1: you know, even that it makes her like so open
54:31
Speaker 1: hearted and kind in a way that's damaging and foolish,
54:34
Speaker 1: but still so That's part of what I really enjoy
54:39
Speaker 1: about Nami is that she's allowed to just be avaricious
54:43
Speaker 1: and opportunistic. I just want to see the more dope women.
54:53
Speaker 1: Viole is like a little bit more fun her introduction
54:57
Speaker 1: being a double agent and try to seduce Sanji and
55:01
Speaker 1: convince him to kill a guy and all that. That
55:04
Speaker 1: was a pretty good time. I wouldn't mind if we
55:06
Speaker 1: had her going back into the fem fatale thing just
55:10
Speaker 1: to drop Like, I get that part of it was
55:12
Speaker 1: her cover, but maybe we could have it be that,
55:15
Speaker 1: like she was good at it and she misses it.
55:16
Speaker 1: Maybe she's you know, I don't know how that would
55:18
Speaker 1: even work, but anyway, Okay, I'm gonna wrap this up.
55:24
Speaker 1: I think I've said enough. I appreciate you all bearing
55:27
Speaker 1: with me on missing it for the last episode. Thank
55:29
Speaker 1: you Florian as well, and thank you Seraphim for coming
55:33
Speaker 1: in and chatting and telling me stuff that I uh
55:35
Speaker 1: forgot or got wrong. Need that. Hope you guys are
55:39
Speaker 1: enjoying the coverage, and until next time to Loo motherfuckers.
56:12
Speaker 1: That was an Unspoiled Network podcast.
