• 0:02
  Speaker 1: This is an Unspoiled Network podcast. This is Spoiled Me,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: covering one piece episodes seven one through seven forty three.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: A state of emergency, Rebecca is kidnapped, the bond between
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: father and daughter Kiros and Rebecca and Men's pride Loofy
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: versus Fujita head to head. In these chapters, we get
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: the start of a I will just say it, frankly
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: hilarious fight between Lufy and Fujiitura, and in my opinion,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Fuji Toah, you ain't shit and I never want to
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: see your damn face again. Welcome to spoil Me. Welcome
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: to the show everyone. I am Natasha. Thank you very
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: much to Florian for commissioning this episode. Florian, if you
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: are out there listening, Hi you guys. I look, there's
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: all kinds of other things to talk about. I recognize that,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: but I just need to talk about Fuji Toora first
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: and foremost, because look, you guys heard me say when
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: I was in the recording with Florian that I didn't
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: see how he could in good conscience go after the
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: straw hats after everything that had happened. And I stand
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: by that, I really do. I feel like that was
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: a reasonable position that I took, seeing not only the
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: way that it is all handled. Now I want to
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: be clear about like the way in which I criticize
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: certain things, there is nuance to it. So there are
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: times where I'll be criticizing a character and is that
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I am criticizing the writing of that character. And then
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: there are times where I feel like it's much more
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: a criticism of the character, that they have been written well,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: that they are actually like, they are true to what
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: a person like them would do, and so I am
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: criticizing their actions. So those are two distinct things. Fuji Tora,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I am criticizing him as a person, not the writing
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: of him. Okay, so the fact that he first of
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: all is giving the I'm trying to think of the
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: way to put this because I don't want to go
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: so far as to say he is trying to delegate
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: responsibility to fate rather than to himself, because that makes
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: it sound like what I think is happening is that
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: he is a coward trying to avoid taking responsibility. Now,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I don't actually believe that. I actually think that he
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: is fully believes what it is that he is doing.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I feel like what he's chosen though to the whole
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: gimmick with going with fate and providence making choices instead
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: of doing that himself. It is something that I just
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: can't relate to as a person because I have always felt,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: even as somebody who does go in for tarot reading
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: and astrology and stuff, I just can't quite sympathize with
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: deciding to sit back and take action solely based on
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: certain things. There was like one time in my life
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: where I was willing to let what the positions of
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: the stars and planets were according to my mother dictate
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: the day that I got married, and I chose a
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: wedding day based the recommendations that she gave me. I
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: look back now and I think that's insane, But at
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: the time, we could get married at any point, and
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I was just sort of like, well, what does it matter.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: We'll just pick one of those days and if it
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: does help, then it helps, and that's great. But and
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: you know, to a degree when you pick a wedding date,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: like how much does it really matter? But we had
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: been getting prepared to be married like six months later
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: than that date, so everything got moved up and that
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: was really the issue. So I'll cop to having that
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: like as something that in my past I have just
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: decided let fate decide, that's the only thing. And it
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: wasn't even about whether I was going to get married.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: It was simply about the day on which a thing
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I had already determined was going to happen would happen.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: So I just this this whole bit with it being
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: up to chance and Faye and I get that this
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: is supposed to be part of him being like a gambler, right,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: I understand the theme that we're going with here, but
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: it just is so asinine. And I the fact that
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: he is willing to turn around and be like, get
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: all of them, get every criminal, Let's take them all down,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: after everything that they have done, not only after everything
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: they've done, but after himself acknowledging everything that they have done.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: He literally says out loud, all right, well should I
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: go after them even though they saved Dress Rosa. Let's
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: find out, sir. I am going to need you to
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: take a moment and look at what the fuck you
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: just said out loud to yourself, because they just saved
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Dress Rosa and you are genuinely over here like, well,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: you know it could go either way. What is wrong?
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: With you, What is the matter with you? It's very
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: difficult for me to just wholeheartedly throw myself behind him
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: in terms of his apology to King riku At when
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: he follows up that behavior by doing this, it's just
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: doesn't like, it does not feel like a genuine apology.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: If then you decide you're going to try and prosecute
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: the only people who were able to actually do anything,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: and not only going after them, but then later you guys,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: this man sorry Bernadet is in the chat and said
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: what a cop without a working con a moral compass.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: I'm so shocked. And this is the thing, is like
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure how much we're supposed to really see
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: him that way. It's difficult for me to tell I
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: see him that way, but I'm not sure if I'm
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: meant to. I feel like I'm supposed to see him
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: as like honorable, but but like mercurial. You know this man,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: I have a couple issues with what he winds up
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: doing later. So eventually, when all the straw hats have
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: decided okay, you know what, I think it's time to
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: make tracks. We got to get the fuck out of here.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Shit's getting a little bit too real. A little bit
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: too fast. I'm out they are fleeing and he is
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: going to go after them, and he decides that he
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: is going to use him his ability to change the
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: weight of all of the rubble and the buildings that
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: have fallen and lift them up into the air to
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: crush all of the straw Hats, Straw Hats and Company
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: under its weight, so that even though Bartelomeo has his
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: barrier going, it's very likely that it would just kill
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: them anyway. Like I don't know, I don't know to
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: be honest, but Bartilomeo's reaction to me pointed to the
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: fact that he did not think his barrier was going
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: to save them if that was dropped on them. It
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: seemed like to him, he says out loud, that's cheating.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm just going to go ahead and say,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: I think that's probably a rap if that falls on them. Now,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: couple things, and I will acknowledge I am being a
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: little silly, but I'm also a little bit serious. Sir.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: You have the ability to clear all the rubble from
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: dress Rosa, and it didn't occur to you to just
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: do that as a person trying to help a community
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: that you apologize to because you failed them. I think
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: this should have been the first thing you did with
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: your ability instead of what it looks like you did,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: which is went and sat down at a table and
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: just played dice for three days while jerking off. How
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: about you get up off your ass and go use
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: your fucking superpower to make the complete rebuilding of dress
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Rosa from the ground up a little bit easier on people.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: You're a human crane. Go help rebuild buildings, Go help
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: make it so that Like, there's so much about the
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: lifting of all of that rubble that made me so angry.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Also the fact that he's like yanking up pieces of building,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: and I think it's supposed to be that it's just
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: the buildings that are already busted, because the way that
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: he's framing it, he says to the pirates, you're the
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: ones who destroyed this place, so you should feel the
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: weight of it. Does anybody else remember the giant fight
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: between him and and Sabo where they basically just dropped
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: planets on one another in the middle of the city.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: The fact that he has the gall to behave as
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: if this was their fault too, do Flamingo started this
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: whole thing they saved Dressed Rosa. You set it yourself,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: so then to blame them for this. It was literally
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: every step of the way, do Flamingo who was destroying buildings.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: It was either him directly with the birdcage, or it
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: was Pika because of his weird stone power manipulating the
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: ground and causing things to break and crack and fall over.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: This is assinine. This is and what makes me very angry.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: This is like I'm going away now from criticizing the
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: character to the writing. What bothers me here is that
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: nobody argues with him, like Loofy comes in to fight him,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: but it's like, I'm just going to It does not
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: feel like it's I'm arguing your accusations against me and
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: my crew. It feels like you're trying to keep us
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: from leaving and you're fucking with my friends. And I
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: can't allow that. And that doesn't carry the same energy
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: at all. All of the things that he is accusing
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: them of our bullshit, And he himself said earlier in
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: that same episode that they saved Dress Rosa. So I
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: am not understanding this, and it's like all I can do,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: All I want is to believe that he is just
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: doing this to cover somehow for the fact that he
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: is going to let them escape because he knows that
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: this is garbage and that he basically had to set
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: things up so that they could get out. While when
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: when what is the name of the woman who shows
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: up and is basically like, why haven't you captured them yet?
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Maybe he just gets moving once she shows up because
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: he's realizing, Okay, I sat on my hands for as
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: long as I was able to get away with and
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: now I've got to make something happen. I want in
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: my guts to believe that so bad because I don't
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: want this man to be this fucking stupid. But I
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: think he might be this fucking stupid, and I'm really
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: really disappointed because I have enjoyed some of his weirdness
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: and it just There is a point later on when
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: he is fighting Mufi and Lufy is just calling out
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: all of the moves that he is going to make,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: which is honestly fucking hilarious. I'm gonna punch you now, now,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: big stump, I'm gonna punch you a bunch. I'm gonna
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: kick you gold perfect loved it, no notes, But Fujiitara
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: is like taking offense to this and basically says, are
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: you giving me a heads up on your moves because
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: I'm blind? And you think that I need you to
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: do that? Because I'm one of the four emperors, bro,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: I don't need you like he Well, somebody calls him
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: an emperor later? Is he or orre they just saying
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: emperor in terms of sort of a declaration of respect
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: infect Either way, he is rightfully saying to Lufy, I
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: wouldn't have gotten where I've gotten if I needed people
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: to give me a little extra help during a fight.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: I think that my position in all of this speaks
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: for itself, and this is just disrespectful of you. Lufy
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: responds with if I were to attack you with a
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: move that you didn't see coming, that would basically be cheating.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: And even though you're a marine doesn't mean I don't
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: like you, which is adorable. Fujitura responds to this by saying,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: and I quote, are you really that whimsical? Don't you
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: stand for anything? The whimsical part is a quote. The
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: stand for anything is a paraphrase. I just need everybody
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: to take a moment and think about what whimsical means.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: It means you cater to whims It means that you
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: are very changeable and in any given moment, decide what
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: you're going to do without forethought, and that you tend
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: to act impulsively. This is being lobbed at Loofy as
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: an insult by the man who a few episodes earlier
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: literally rolled a dice and determined what he was going
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: to do according to how a dice landed. That is
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: the definition of whimsical. Are you fucking high? Do you
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: hear yourself? What are you fucking talking about? All you
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: ever do is jerk Fate off and blow Providence all
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: over the goddamn place you love it. How are you
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: going to complain about somebody being whimsical? The whim of
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: fate is what you have been operating according to for
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: three days. How dare you? I was rooting for you?
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: How dare you? I am so disgusted, And I wouldn't
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: be this pissed if it didn't feel like I am
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: supposed to be taking him seriously in that moment. But
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: it feels like I am meant to actually believe that
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: he means what he's saying, and that like he is
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: holding Loofy in contempt I genuinely feel like, unless the
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: writing decides to give me a little wink and nod
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: at some point, this is all being played straight, like
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: he is the guy who takes a stand on things
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: and he is wagging his finger at whimsical Loofy, And
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but you guys, there is just zero excuse
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: for this. If this is real, If I turn if
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: it turns out this was all a show that he
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: didn't mean it, whatever, whatever, fine, I'll be very relieved
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: and fine. But as of right now, it just feels
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: like somebody writing in a few state not thinking. And
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: I really don't want to believe that, but it just
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: feels like this is nonsense right now. It's just it's
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: a combination of him blaming them for things he himself did,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: because I have not forgotten the fact that he basically
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: brought down a meteor Onsabo's head and destroyed a city block.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: And I also have not forgot that you apologized because
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: you guys didn't do what you needed to do. You
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: gave the Strawhatz credit for saving dress Rosa, and then
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: you turned around like an asshole to go after them,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: And Loofy is whimsical whimsical plus ADHD one hundred percent,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: no question. But my guy, you are the most whimsical
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: motherfucker I ever met. At least Loofy's whims have some
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: rhyme or reasons that you can predict, because he is
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: a consistent dude, Your whims are not even your whims.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: They're the whims of the dice, which is even less
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: principled than making a decision based on your personal feelings
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: in the moment. At the very least, when Lufy does something,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: I know it's because he was hungry, he was angry,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: his friend got threatened, he likes fighting whatever, I know why.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: But with you, it's literally who knows Fate told him somehow.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: I hate you. Okay, there are a lot of characters
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: in this show that I have really hated, and I
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: am not saying Fujiitor is up there with like wet
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: hair caribou or something. But in a way, he feels
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: even more despicable somehow, because he's just so blind pun
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: intended to his own hypocrisy. I hope to God, I
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: hope that this is all on purpose. I really hope
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: it is, because I don't know what else to think. Oh, Bernadette,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: the rubble thing pissed me off to no end. This
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: mofo is so profoundly unhelpful in every way. Also, he
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: should be the one feeling the way of having not
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: done shit, which he even acknowledged. I hate this guy
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: as much as Akayinu, but I might be influenced by
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: my general sentiment toward cops. Amen on all of it, Bernadette,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Like Honestly, the thing that I have said for so
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: long is apologies don't mean anything unless they are accompanied
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: by changed behavior. And if you were going to kneel
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: and prostrate yourself in front of King Rico who and
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: apologize for not doing the right thing, and then turn
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: around and capture the people who save dress Rosa, pretend
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: they're the ones responsible for all of this destruction, and
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: completely abandon this alliance that you decided to create yourself
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: because you began to realize this was not a sustainable
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: way of functioning. You are a liar and a bad
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: guy who does not make good faith apologies or promises.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: You're full of shit. You are garbage. So I really
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: despise this man, and I think it's kind of fitting
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: that this all comes to a head in this way,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: because you guys know that I was like when when
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: the whole city of dress Rosa was basically being dismantled
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: piece by piece, kept just being like, this is going
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: to take so much to put back together. This is
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: going to be such a whole thing. And he, in particular,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: was one of the people that I kept being like,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: why are you having such a huge taking such part
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: in destruction here without really seeming to care about anything.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: And I was singing all of that at the time
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: and upset by it, not knowing that he was going
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: to turn around and try and lay all of this
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: at the feet of the straw hats. So it is
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: sort of perfect that it was upsetting me the way
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: that it did, because it turns out like this actually
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: does matter in the end, and by the end of
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: this trio of episodes, like I think it's the middle
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: of the third episode that he starts to pull the
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: rubble up and the episode ends and that stuff is
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: still hovering above them. This dude ain't shit, you know.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: I really I didn't respond well to his apology when
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: it first happened. Then I get I had some time
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: to consider it and to view the way that the
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: transmission that everybody saw of that moment might have an
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: impact on things, and I decided that I was like
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: gonna try and give him some credit for after all,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: after this, No, I take it back, you get negative credit,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: if anything. Making that apology before doing what you're doing
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: here makes all of what you're doing all that much
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: worse and more harmful and more indicative of how full
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: of shit you are. And I don't want Lufy to
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: tell him what moves he's about to make. I want
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Loufy to crush this man into a fine powder. I
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: want this man to be liquefied and poured down the toilet.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: I am over it. I am done with him. I
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: hate him, I hate him, I hate him. I'm so annoyed.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: So anyway, that's where I stand on Fuji Torah. Let's
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: talk about something a little bit. I was gonna say
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: more fun. I hesitate to say that because like, really, no,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: not really, but I guess this is one of those
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: uh talk about Fujiitura, who I hate so much. And
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: then I'm gonna talk and I'm gonna try and make
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: it brief about Rebecca and Kiros because I think I
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: made it very clear how I felt last time. And
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: just how much potential all of this had. I didn't
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: want to do any of this, and inevitably we get
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: tons of flashbacks yet again, and we find out because
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: like I wasn't sure how much Rebecca really understood of
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: what he was doing, because I had forgotten that he
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: writes her a note, so she has like all the
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: information on what he's trying to do, and she is
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: not making any effort to find him. And it's Loofy
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: who goes to her and is like, hey, are you
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: okay with this? Because if you're not bringing you to
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: see your dad? But if you are, then that's kind
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: of fucked, I think. But it's your call, y'all. I
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: could not stop laughing once I realized what was going
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: on here, because I thought, when I was predicting how
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: all this was going to go, my prediction was Rebecca
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: is going to be so incensed by the note that
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: her father leaves her, or not even her note, because
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: I'd forgotten about that, but the news that is circulating,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: she will be so upset by it that she is
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: going to run after him and angrily demand that he stay,
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: that he let her have a say in everything. I
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: fully thought it was going to be Rebecca taking action.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: I should have known better, because Rebecca doesn't actually do
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: anything ever. Ever, Ever, she doesn't even decide to go
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: confront her dad. She has to be convinced to go
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: and see him by Lofy, who literally carries her. Y'all.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: What I had in mind was already very boring and annoying,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: and they made it more boring and more annoying. I
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: absolutely cannot and the reasoning is so weak. It is
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: so weak. The whole thing is supposed to be that
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: she's basically accepting that he wants to put distance between
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: them because she thinks that maybe he is still mad
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: at her for things that she said to him when
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: she was a child, saying I hate you because you
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: couldn't save my mother, saying you can't fight do flamingo,
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: Look at yourself, You're just a broken toy with one leg.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: All of this stuff. She is just like wallowing in
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: and has decided he must just not want to be
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: with me because I was so mean. And then when
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Lufy shows up, she's like, maybe I was just a nuisance,
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: which I love the fact that he doesn't try and
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: be like, you're not a nuisance. Nobody would ever say, well,
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: how could you even say that? He takes such a
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: different tech Like most of us would try and calm
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: that fear out of the gate and be like that's
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: not shut up, you know, But Loofy does not. He
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: just says like, that's not my call, like it's and
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: I kind of love that that. He's just like, I'm
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: not going to comfort you. I am here to help
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: you if you want to talk to him, and that's
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: what we'll go do if that's what you want to do.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: That's literally my only purpose is to find out if
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: you need transportation. And that's all. So that being the
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: motivation for her that she thinks maybe I'm just a
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: what's the word I want? She uses the word nuisance,
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: but like just the fact that her father maybe doesn't
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: really want to be around her after how mean she
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: was to him. I am so sorry, but that is
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: the dumbest shit I've ever heard. It's just so manufactured,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: it's so silly, like one of those things she said
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: when she was like eight years old. So I don't
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: believe that as an adult, you actually would believe that
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: another adult would abandon you due to you saying that.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: And secondly, the man threw down to protect you in
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: front of you a billion times in that sunflower field
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: and did nothing but talk about how he failed you
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: and he wanted to do right by you, and he's
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: going to fight this guy because it's the right thing
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: to do and he wants to be there. Finally, after
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: not having been there, let him do this. You guys, No,
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: she just didn't believe any of that. Really, it just didn't.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: He was literally putting his life on the line. But
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: she's now kind of going, well, I don't know, he
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: probably just didn't even like me that much. I just
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: I have no patience for it. I don't It sucked,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: it was dumb, and to top it all off, to
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: top it all off, I'm so mad about this too.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: Does King Riku say, Hey, you know, it was pretty
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: fucked up that we decided to disown our daughter based
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: on who she wanted to marry. I see that now,
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: So why don't you come be a part of the family,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: you and your father come and be with us, Because
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: all of these terrible experiences that we've gone through over
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: the past decade have taught me how valuable family is,
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: how short and uncertain our time together is, and that
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: I should savor every moment with the people that I love. No, no, no,
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: it doesn't. It sure doesn't. Instead, he's like, yeah, I'm
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: going to tell everybody that you're still dead or that
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: your mom is like she is dead now, but like,
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: I'm just basically going to pretend that you're not part
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: of the family or not part of any of this.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: And you can go and live in a field in
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: a little hut with your dad, and you have to
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: choose between your simple country life with your father or
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: being a princess at court. You get one or the other,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: and you chose your father, and so I guess we'll
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: never see you again. I guess you're not a princess, y'all.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: How am I meant to feel about this? How am
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: I supposed to feel about King Riku that he is
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: co signing this. I'm so sorry, but you cannot tell
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: me that the people of this town would have any
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: issue with Rebecca if they, like, if she became a
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: part of things, right. It doesn't make sense after everything,
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: I don't understand why they're still while why she's like
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: has to give up being princess. The whole way that
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: this is being framed is like We're just supposed to
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: appreciate how much she grew up to be like her
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: mother and decided to make the same sacrifice for the
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: same man, by the way, which is a little bit creepy.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: I don't understand why this sacrifice was necessary. Even the
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: first time, I barely understood it. It really felt like,
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: all right, well, you guys kind of suck more than
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: we're being told you are. Like. I didn't like it
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: then either, but now it makes even less sense, and
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: I'm just sitting here like, have I missed something. I'm
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: supposed to want Riku to be king When he just
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: turns her back on her like this, I don't want
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: him to be king now. I thought Kiros would get
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: to be king. I thought everybody here would recognize that
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: Kiros was instrumental in saving y'all's asses, and that we
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: would have a turnaround on the whole way, that people
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: look at him and see that he is like of
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: noble spirit, and whether or not he actually is nobility
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: is irrelevant. And frankly, my version is better. My version
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: of this is all better. It's more satisfying. It's more
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: like people actually learned lessons and grew, you know, instead
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: we're just going back to doing what we had been doing,
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: which was shitty in the first place. And the fact
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: that King Riku, after like after all of this, is
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: just gonna go back and be king again. It's so
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: it's such a boring way to conclude all of this.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: I'm supposed to be celebrating because he shouldn't have been
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: deposed the way he was, and it's justice that he
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: gets his thrown back, But frankly, this whole thing just
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: feels very shitty. And I also don't really know if
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: you were able to be deposed like this, if you
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: are the right choice to be king. I understand that
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: like you got outwitted and out fox and everything, but
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: like Kiros managed to handle some shit when he was
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: turned into a toy, and that shows some resourcefulness that
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: it feels like you didn't really haven't. I don't know
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: what kind of opportunities King Ricu had to like do
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: anything and change anything, but it just doesn't look great,
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: you know. Optically, when he was saying that he didn't
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: want to become king again, I really understood why, and
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: I felt like ultimately that was the right choice and
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: so and like it genuinely I thought we were going
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: to have a kind of nuanced like yeah, your time
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: is over sort of plot beat with him. So it
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: turning into what it became, which was he It just
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: gets back what was stolen, because that's only fair. It's
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: just such an oversimplified way to view something as complex
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: and laden with responsibility as monarchy, like you are going
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: to be king in charge. That's a big responsibility, and
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: when you are showing such shitty judgment in other areas, now,
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: I just feel like that's I wouldn't want you for
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: my king. I feel like this is very, very shitty behavior. So,
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: oh my god. Bernadette in the chat says Luvie doesn't
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: tell Rebecca she isn't useless because Lufy is not a liar. Bernadette,
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: that never occurred to me. But I honestly love that,
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: like the fact that Lufy is helping her. I really
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: don't think that he thinks that she's useless. But it
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: just does fit together in a way that he's like, maybe,
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: you know, I want to make a comparison here that's
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: like maybe a little bit fucked up. But you guys
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: know how pandas don't want to fuck like other animals.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: It's much easier to make them breed than pandas. In particular,
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: for whatever reason, getting pandas to breed is really really tricky.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: And so the people who handle pandas they're dealing with
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: a declining population, and this is supposed to give their
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: work a sort of urgency, right, we need to get
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: them to breed because they're dying off, and it's, you know,
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: a bad thing. Loofy is a panda breeder. Rebecca doesn't
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: want to do anything, and Lufy has to like make
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: her do shit. And so it's coming from this place
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: of this sort of affection like a breeder might have
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: for his panda, but also a knowledge that you are
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: just not going to do the best thing for you
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: because you're a dumb animal and you just don't understand
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: the consequences of stuff. So I guess I'm gonna have
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: to come and explain it to you and then make
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: you go do it, because, like I look, I'm personally
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: of the opinion fuck pandas. If they don't want to
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: stay alive as a species, then let them die out.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know what to tell you. They don't they
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: don't want it enough, And frankly, I kind of get it.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: I kind of get it. So I am of course
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: going to be over here, like if she didn't think
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: to go talk to her father and her father didn't
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: decide to pay her the courtesy of actually speaking to her,
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: fuck them. I guess they're just estranged. Now. I guess
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: that's it, but it can't be. I guess. I don't know.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: And look, maybe coming down the line, there's going to
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: be a moment where we find out King Riko did
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: decide to let her be part of things, and that
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: her father is part of the court too, and that
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: this is all and everything will be the way that
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: I'm talking. But the way that this raptid did not
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: feel like there was more to this plot be it
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: felt like we were finishing up with the two of them,
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: and that him saying she's just like her mother to
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: Violah about her giving up her crown, that felt like it,
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. So so I also like
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: the fact that this whole thing has to happen. It
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: has to create this moment where she gets captured by
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: Loofy so to speak. So everybody thinks the princess has
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: been abducted by one of the straw hats, It was
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: just another moment of me really hating these two people because,
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: like the straw hats, it's wild to me that Rebecca
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: is getting dressed and there is a maid there when
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: Lufy comes calling for her, and this maid says something like,
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: don't talk to him, He's just a filthy pirate, And
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: you guys know how I felt about the townsfolk like
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: not giving Lufy his flowers, and this lady I was
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: ready to slap her, like do you know who this
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: fucking is? Are you serious? It just meant, I think,
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: to underline how unwelcome Kiros would be at court, but
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: it just makes me dislike everybody here instead of making
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: me think like it's doing the thing that dress Rosa's
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: crowd work has done in the past, where I've kind
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: of been like, maybe we should just let these people
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: die since they ain't shit, so everybody, like the fact
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: that Rebecca and Kiros cannot be bothered to actually speak
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: to one another in person results in Lovie doing something
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: that like tarnishes his name and reputation even further, which
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: is infuriating. So then it gives an excuse to all
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: of the Marines to go after him, because who knows
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: what he's up to. As one of them says, this
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: is what happens when you let pirates just do whatever
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: the hell they want. I think that this is even
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: more than do Flamingo's fight with Lufy going on for
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: too long. I think this is the most disappointing part
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: of this arc is how inconstant everybody is all the time.
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: And I understand to a degree with this genre and
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: the way that the story is just like it has
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: to keep going, that maybe there's a feeling of having
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: to be able to turn on a dime to just
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: get a plot beat going, but it just makes everybody
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: involved in this whole thing feel like children who are
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: so fickle and capricious about who they trust and are
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: rooting for that I am not really rooting for any
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: of them anymore. It feels like they've been given a
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: gift in being rescued that they neither earned nor deserve.
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: And that includes like the Marines, of course, because like,
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: these dudes came in and fixed your fuck up, and
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: now you're trying to catch them and doing the whole like, oh, well,
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: they're just pirates. Yeah, well, you're just a meathead soldier
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: who fucked up everything for years and helped nobody. I
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: just don't I don't like how I have come to
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: feel about the like what is the word I want?
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: The bystanders in everything, It feels like they're really only
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: being given moments of being terribly afraid because the thing
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: is happening to them, or being terribly afraid because a
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: person is somebody that they maybe don't trust. And there's
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: been like a few brief glimpses of them working together
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: or supporting the king for a moment or what, but
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: it's really been too far between, and it's been too
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: brief when it does happen, And so now at this point,
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: I'm just sort of like, maybe we should just build
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: some ships and get everybody off Dress Rosa and level
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: the place and just send them far and wide and
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: get them mixed in with other rational people, because there
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: have been plenty of populations we've been around where people
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: have been fickle, But I don't think we have ever
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: seen the number of back and forths that we have
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: seen at Dress Rosa with any other group like of
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: the public. I feel like this has been the most inconsistent,
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: wildly like pendulous group, and I'm just quickly reaching, are
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: you guys, like at large a sort of not at
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: large writ large Rebecca and Kiros, where you just can't
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: be bothered to fucking do anything and somebody else always
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: has to step in and make things happen for you.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: Is that what's going on? Because like that just means
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: that I feel about them the way I do about
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: Rebecca and Kiros, which is fuck them again. So all
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: in all, I just was really, really deeply disappointed with
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: the direction that, like practically every plot point took in
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: these three episodes. I thought we were heading in a
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: certain direction, and we just wound up going back to
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: the status quo in every sense, And there isn't even
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: a convincing reason why in almost any case except for
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: that it was like there was the least opposition to
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: it to just go back to doing we had already
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: been doing the path of least resistance and everything that
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: was at least a little interesting, but to me almost
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: felt like, well that's a bit trophy, but you know,
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: I was willing to go with it anyway. We didn't
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: even get We got something worse that I hadn't considered,
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: which is no forward movement on a lot of characters
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: and a lot of plot points of any kind and
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: just completely rewinding back to how things were before Do
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: Flamingo showed up. I mean, that sucks. That just sucks.
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: The only bright spot there's two bright spots in these
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: three episodes. One of them is Sengoku talking to Law
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: and we get to see that it turns out he
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: was really close with Cora, and he says to Law
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: like I could tell he was special. He was just
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: you know, I'd worked with other cis before, but this
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: one was different. And he remembers the moment where he
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: found out that Kora had died and kind of throws
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: it in Law's face a little bit, and it's basically like,
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: he died for you, and I don't know if it
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: was worth it, basically like what did he die for?
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: And Law says, he died giving me my desire to
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: live back like I didn't have it. I didn't care
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: about anybody or anything, and I didn't trust anybody, and
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: he died in order to restore my desire to live
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: and give me a chance. And that's why I came here.
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: Because it's Do Flamingo who fucking killed him, and he
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: deserves to be avenged. And Amen, amen, brother. I was like,
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: you know, Sengoku, obviously our man is retired. He is
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: not like in the mix, so I'm not sure how
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: much convincing him of anything is like necessarily going to
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: be super helpful. But I will say that I liked
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: very much having somebody who was a marine. Seemed like
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: they were invested personally in what happened in dress Rosa
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: more than in just the like you know, do Flamingo,
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: A bad guy who was supposed to be our ally
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: was here and abused his power. This is here's the
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: guy who killed somebody that I really liked and grew
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: close to. And maybe I feel a bit of a
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: way about him getting taken out for reasons other than
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: what's on public record, and I think that's kind of
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: a nice touch. I wish that this had been true
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: of somebody who was a little bit more in the mix.
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: That would have I don't know, that would have been
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: potentially maybe interesting, but what can you do? Overall, though
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: I did like those moments, and I also there so
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: the Marines are like running all over trying to catch
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: all the straw hats, trying to find other guys and
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: take down Loofy, and there comes. There's a few different
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: moments where like one area has already been taken and
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: the guy calls and basically gets that, like Hans solo,
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: everything fine here, situation normal, how are you? And it
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: was very funny. He finally asks the guy what's your
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: marine code? And the guy goes, my what uh, let's
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: see and the guy is just like shit, they got
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: taken over, and that was a funny moment, and then
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: even better, in my opinion, later on, they try and
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: like fire their weapons, and the Tantata, it turns out,
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: have like taken all of the gunpowder and the bullets
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: and their knives and swords and everything as well, so
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: they have absolutely nothing in the way of weapons, and
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: we get to see Leo who used his sewing ability
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: to sew some ships together, and because they don't have knives,
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: they can't cut them apart. I adored this. I really
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: like the Tantata just being out here messing with things
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: and performing like gorilla warfare, and the idea of like
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: just sewing ships together. I love it because it's extremely disruptive,
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: but when he decides to undo it, the ships will
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: be fine. It's not even really very destructive at all.
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: It's just disruptive, which finding a way to do that
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: is a pretty tricky thing, and it was such a
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: simple solution. It was so elegant, you know. So the tantata,
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: there's also a moment with mal Sherry and she is taught.
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: I can't remember what the name of the old man
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: character is, who is like her advisor. He's the one
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: that no matter what she does, he basically starts weeping
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: and talking about how compassionate and merciful she is, or
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: how intelligent she is or whatever. But she is continuing
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: to peel people. And I can't remember what it is
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: circumstantially in that moment that she's asking him like a
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: are you sure we're still allowed to do this? And
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: he says, don't worry, We've gotten permission, and then he
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: like whispers from Kiros. So obviously she isn't really supposed
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: to be doing the thing. The permission that they got
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: was not the permission that they would really need, but
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: he is keeping that to himself. I can't remember what
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: it is that he's worried about. But I just liked
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: getting to check in with Macherry. I wish that she
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: was in things like there is such a great satisfaction
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: in seeing her set things right and fix people's injuries
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: and stuff, So I'd be very down for a little
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: bit more of her peppered into this, you know. So
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: that's pretty much it with the Tantata, and I'm trying
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: to think if there's anybody else because we don't check
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: in with the other straw Hats on that other island
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: at all in these three episodes, so I don't know
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: it's up there, and the fight between Lufy and is
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: show I don't like. I feel like I talked pretty
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: much about everything that happens in that there is I
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: feel like maybe this is setting a precedent. It's never happened,
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: but we have the moment where even Bartolomeo is going, hey, Lufy,
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: are you sure you want to fight this guy? Now?
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: Here's the thing everybody, and I really want to like
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: emphasize I understand in a way why this is happening,
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: but I want to point out why it doesn't really
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: work for me. There's this whole thing with Fujiitura just
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: deciding to come in and fight the straw Hats and
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: stop them from leaving and fight Loufy and all this
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: the reaction that everybody has to is show being the
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: one who shows up. They all behave like, oh, I
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: guess Rescrewed will never beat him instantly, and then say
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: the same thing to Lufy basically like this is not
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: a fight you're gonna be able to win. Did is
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: Show ever go up against Do Flamingo directly? He never did, right,
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: because what I was had been going to say was
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: that Fujitaura's like, yes, he is obviously incredibly powerful and
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: a huge badass, but Loofy beat Doe Flamingo. I don't
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: really think that everybody being so cautious about Loufy beating
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: Fujitura makes a lot of sense. I don't know. Maybe
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: I'm supposed to accept the Fujitura is definitely a step
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: above Do Flamingo, and I am willing to accept being
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: told that, And maybe that I'm supposed to have inferred
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: that from him being called an emperor by somebody. So
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: maybe that's what's happening there, is that it's supposed to
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: point out just like how much higher level he is,
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: and it wasn't like he actually fought Do Flamingo and lost.
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: He never fought Do Flamingo. But if he did fight
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: him and he lost, Loofy beat Do Flamingo, so Lufy
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: still wins if we're gonna go by these metrics. Or
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: he didn't fight do Flamingo, but he could have and
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: he would have won, which if I'm meant to accept,
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: that is very annoying because that means all of this
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: could have been handled by somebody who later apologizes for
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: not doing anything. And I was thinking of this as
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: much more a holistic apologies on behalf of all of
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: the Marines apology. But if it's I'm apologizing because I
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: personally could have done something too as one of the
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: four emperors, that's going to make me hate this man
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: even more. Frankly, that you were wasting your time dropping
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: meteors on Sabo's head when you could have been steamrolling
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: Do Flamingo. Either way, it's bad, whatever the results. Bernadette
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: says he couldn't fight Dophie since d'fhie was a warlord.
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: So that's what I thought was that he had never
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: gone up against him. But honestly, it's looking like he
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: could have beaten him, and there were so many opportunities
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: where he had started to realize like we were wrong
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: about this and could have stepped in and done something
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: and been a formidable threat to do flamingo, so I
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: hold him an even greater contempt with this revelation. I
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: just cannot stand this man, I really, you know, it's
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: like it's such a shame. But everything he does contradicts
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: everything else he does, and I just cannot respect that.
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: There's a degree to which I can understand because we're
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: all human beings who don't always uphold our own ideals
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: and that's just life. But with him, it's like, I
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: don't even think he understands what his own ideals are
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: in the first place. You know, I don't know, okay.
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: Bernadette says, also, the four emperors are pirates. A marine
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: can't be an emperor, so Bernadette helped me out. I
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: don't know. This may be a translation issue. It may
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: just be that the way it was translated it's not
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: really correct. But in the dub somebody definitely calls him
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: an emperor when he starts gearing up. They and he's
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: got like the buildings in the air and stuff, and
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: somebody says, like, witness the power of an emperor or
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: something like that, And it, like I said, might be
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: just that it got translated a little bit inaccurately and
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: it made it confusing. Or is there something else here?
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: Maybe I'm not even supposed to know. Maybe I'm not
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: really meant to have zeroed in on that little comment
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: as much as I have, and or maybe it's just
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: them kind of being like, you know, when somebody is like, oh,
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: you're the king of baking because you made some really
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: awesome muffins, maybe they're just basically like, look how fucking
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: skilled he is. He's on top. He's an emperor, you
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. I don't know, but it just
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: caught my attention and I didn't think that it made
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: sense he could be an emperor. But I also was like,
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know fully how a lot of this works
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: and if the rules that I understand it are actually
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: the rules, so you know, who knows what's true or
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: what's allowed. But anyway, all right, I really do have
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: to wrap this one up. I'm sorry to be so
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: angry and negative throughout this one, guys, but like, I
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: apologize for maybe disappointing you if you were looking forward
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: to my reactions here, but I do not apologize for
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: my reactions themselves, because I'm right and this sucks anyway.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: We'll have to see. Maybe I'll be proven wrong and
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: to have little faith because everything I ever wanted is
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: coming for me. We'll see. I wait with breath that
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: is baited. All right, everybody, until next time to the loom, motherfuckers.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: That was an Unspoiled Network podcast
