0:02
Speaker 1: This is an Unspoiled Network podcast. This is spoil Me,
0:10
Speaker 1: covering one piece episodes eight hundred and eighty through eight
0:15
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty two. Sabo goes into action. All the
0:19
Speaker 1: captains of the Revolutionary Army appear going into action, the
0:24
Speaker 1: implacable new Admiral of the Fleet, Sakazuki, and the paramount
0:30
Speaker 1: war the inherited will of the King of the Pirates.
0:37
Speaker 1: In these episodes, we do have a lot of flashbacks,
0:41
Speaker 1: but we do also get some new stuff, and we
0:45
Speaker 1: are heading into reverie and I am really curious how
0:48
Speaker 1: all this is going to go. Welcome to spoil Me,
1:11
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show everyone. I am Natasha. Thank you
1:15
Speaker 1: very much to Florian for commissioning this episode. Florian is
1:21
Speaker 1: here in the chat and unfortunately sent me a message
1:24
Speaker 1: that I missed, saying that there were some cover stories
1:27
Speaker 1: that I could read if I felt like there wasn't
1:29
Speaker 1: really going to be enough to talk about because so
1:32
Speaker 1: much of these episodes are flashbacks. I am going to
1:39
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like there's like enough, I really do,
1:43
Speaker 1: despite there being a lot of flashbacks, because like what
1:47
Speaker 1: we get is pretty new information. But we'll see. Florian
1:52
Speaker 1: says if you have time, you can make a live reaction,
1:56
Speaker 1: or I can just ask some questions like arc and
1:59
Speaker 1: character rankings. It's been a while. It's also a good
2:01
Speaker 1: time to reflect over bigger plot points. Yes, I think
2:05
Speaker 1: that's all fair. So I like, what's I'm gonna talk
2:14
Speaker 1: about one of my favorite bits ever in this episode
2:21
Speaker 1: because I just when I tell you guys that I
2:24
Speaker 1: was losing it, and then I tried to like explain
2:28
Speaker 1: to my husband and you know what, You know how
2:30
Speaker 1: it is when you start to like relay a joke
2:35
Speaker 1: and it's still so funny to you that you can't
2:39
Speaker 1: fully get it out and you just make yourself laugh again.
2:44
Speaker 1: But then you also oversell it because it's like you
2:49
Speaker 1: laughed so hard that the person who was waiting for
2:53
Speaker 1: you to fucking get to the point really started to
2:55
Speaker 1: have a pretty high expectation of how good this joke
2:58
Speaker 1: was going to be because of the way you were.
3:02
Speaker 1: I was trying to tell him about this crow man
3:10
Speaker 1: in this episode. Was his name Raven something This bit
3:16
Speaker 1: where he's like inaudible and he keeps saying stuff but
3:21
Speaker 1: he's super muffled, and even the villain character that he's
3:26
Speaker 1: like talking shit to is like, did he just say something?
3:29
Speaker 1: What was that? And then eventually at the end of
3:33
Speaker 1: the episode, one of his cohort is like, hey man,
3:37
Speaker 1: by the way, you forgot to turn the speaker on
3:39
Speaker 1: in your mask. I could not explain to you why
3:45
Speaker 1: I fell out so fucking bad, but I lost my shit.
3:51
Speaker 1: I think I think the reason it got me so
3:54
Speaker 1: bad is because I began to accept that his thing
4:01
Speaker 1: was simply going to be that you can't really hear
4:03
Speaker 1: him very well. So there being another joke about this
4:08
Speaker 1: that like kind of comes as a surprise later and
4:11
Speaker 1: undoes that expectation. It was just a really fun one
4:16
Speaker 1: to punch of, like because he looks quite intimidating as well.
4:20
Speaker 1: I think that might be part of it too, is
4:22
Speaker 1: just that he has a look where you're kind of like,
4:25
Speaker 1: oh shit, this guy is probably, you know, gonna be
4:30
Speaker 1: like a real and then and you can barely fucking
4:35
Speaker 1: hear him, y'all. It was so good, it was so
4:40
Speaker 1: fucking stupid. So anyway, I just had to start with
4:45
Speaker 1: that because I it's been a while since there's been
4:49
Speaker 1: an introduction to a character that had me so delighted
4:56
Speaker 1: both about the aesthetic but also about you know, who
5:01
Speaker 1: they seem to be as a person, as a character,
5:05
Speaker 1: and this whole thing with Sabo. I'll be honest, guys,
5:10
Speaker 1: you all know that I like Sabo and was delighted
5:14
Speaker 1: that he wasn't dead because I was thinking I believed
5:18
Speaker 1: that he had died. And so when I saw that
5:22
Speaker 1: this episode was named after him, I was like, oh, cool,
5:25
Speaker 1: were getting Sabo in the mix here, And then it
5:30
Speaker 1: starts off in such a way that I became very
5:33
Speaker 1: convinced I had missed something, and like, I stopped and
5:36
Speaker 1: double checked the episode numbers and everything, because it's I
5:41
Speaker 1: think that part of it as well. And this isn't
5:44
Speaker 1: like not the show's fault at all. It's really more
5:46
Speaker 1: Crunchy Role. Crunchy Role has all of these episodes organized
5:51
Speaker 1: into arcs rather than seasons like most shows, because this
5:55
Speaker 1: doesn't have seasons, and this episode is showing still as
6:00
Speaker 1: part of the whole cake arc, and so when I
6:06
Speaker 1: see that, I'm expecting that it's still sort of tying
6:10
Speaker 1: together some of those loose ends. And I'm understanding now
6:15
Speaker 1: that when you organize things according to arc, it does
6:19
Speaker 1: get a little tricky, because what do you do with
6:22
Speaker 1: the episodes where everybody is sort of in between traveling
6:26
Speaker 1: toward the location of the next arc. And the Whole
6:31
Speaker 1: Cake arc ends a lot sooner than I thought it would,
6:35
Speaker 1: because I have been looking and seeing like, oh, there's
6:38
Speaker 1: another twelve episodes in this arc. No there aren't. They
6:42
Speaker 1: are well out of Whole Cake and there are still like,
6:46
Speaker 1: you know, several groups of episodes to go. So I
6:50
Speaker 1: think that's part of what happened. Was like I started
6:53
Speaker 1: the episode and I was thinking that maybe we were
6:55
Speaker 1: going to touch base again with some of the people
6:58
Speaker 1: at Whole Cake, touch base big Mom, see what she's like,
7:02
Speaker 1: how she's continuing to react to the news about Loufy,
7:06
Speaker 1: or maybe go and see Putting, or even maybe check
7:12
Speaker 1: in with Lola. You know. I know that she hasn't
7:14
Speaker 1: been part of things for a minute, but I would
7:16
Speaker 1: be down for that. And so when we start a
7:21
Speaker 1: whole other plot line where we're dealing with a completely
7:25
Speaker 1: separate conflict, I thought maybe we were doing like a
7:30
Speaker 1: filler episode, or that I had missed something, you know,
7:36
Speaker 1: And it turns out that we are just getting a
7:41
Speaker 1: look at what Sabo's team in general is up to.
7:46
Speaker 1: And the fact that I say to Sabo, it's really
7:50
Speaker 1: Dragon's team. But Dragon is so like he just is
7:59
Speaker 1: so non communicative, you know, he just has like two
8:04
Speaker 1: lines in all these episodes. And as much as I
8:09
Speaker 1: know that technically he's probably considered the guy in charge,
8:15
Speaker 1: I don't feel like I know him at all, and
8:18
Speaker 1: I don't feel like he seems to be the catalyst
8:21
Speaker 1: for like action. So I don't dislike him or anything.
8:27
Speaker 1: It's just that I forget about him because he doesn't
8:29
Speaker 1: feel very important yet other than as a spokesperson and
8:33
Speaker 1: like a recognizable face to the revolutionaries. Does that make sense?
8:39
Speaker 1: So I guess what I'm saying is like I'm sort
8:41
Speaker 1: of waiting for him to do more and become somebody
8:47
Speaker 1: that feels like he just feels sort of like a
8:51
Speaker 1: figurehead right now. And the way that it's talked about
8:57
Speaker 1: in the episode, like he eventually tells Oba like, Okay,
9:00
Speaker 1: it's time for you to do your thing, and I
9:05
Speaker 1: was about to call her Sabo's girlfriend, and I just realized,
9:07
Speaker 1: I don't even know that that's true. But she says
9:09
Speaker 1: something to Sabo like you're up, it's time, Like evidently
9:13
Speaker 1: this new responsibility is a recent development, So me acting
9:20
Speaker 1: like this is Sabo's crew. Is just me like behaving
9:24
Speaker 1: as if the way he is, the role he plays
9:29
Speaker 1: in the group now is the role he's always played,
9:31
Speaker 1: which obviously is not true and this is a new thing,
9:35
Speaker 1: but I still, because we've only joined since you know,
9:39
Speaker 1: he's been a part of this, I see it as
9:43
Speaker 1: that he's the guy and Dragon I kind of need
9:48
Speaker 1: you if you want this to like be your group,
9:52
Speaker 1: I need you to like earn that back by doing
9:54
Speaker 1: more things. I don't Florian, you know what hears something?
10:00
Speaker 1: Oh Kowala is her name? Thank you? Florien Florence. Is
10:03
Speaker 1: she Sabo's girlfriend? Are they like romantic or is it
10:08
Speaker 1: just a friend? Because they It's sort of weird because
10:11
Speaker 1: like my instinct is to put them as a couple
10:14
Speaker 1: just because it's a boy and a girl and they're
10:16
Speaker 1: around the same age, but the fact that they also
10:19
Speaker 1: dress so alike is almost brother sister, which is a
10:21
Speaker 1: little weird. I don't know, Florien says, not official, Okay,
10:25
Speaker 1: not Facebook official, but yeah, anyway, what I was going
10:31
Speaker 1: to ask is what have we seen Dragon do besides
10:40
Speaker 1: rescue Loofy from being executed that time. I'm not saying
10:44
Speaker 1: besides that, as if to like minimize that, it just
10:50
Speaker 1: I don't I can't recall other big moments of his
10:58
Speaker 1: and I don't trust my own memory when it comes
11:02
Speaker 1: to this show because there's so much and I covered
11:06
Speaker 1: a lot of this show during COVID times, which is
11:11
Speaker 1: just a real blur. In some ways. I feel like
11:15
Speaker 1: COVID also fucked with my memory, so there's a lot
11:18
Speaker 1: of factors there that add up to me just really
11:21
Speaker 1: not remembering. He also saved people in Lufy's hometown from
11:27
Speaker 1: the Big Fire. Oh right, right, Okay, yeah, okay, I mean, like, look,
11:38
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not saying that I don't like Dragon.
11:44
Speaker 1: I know I keep saying this, but I really really
11:46
Speaker 1: it's just more like there's a sort of whispered, hushed
11:50
Speaker 1: awe surrounding his name a lot. But other than the
11:55
Speaker 1: fact that he looks pretty badass and is like has
11:58
Speaker 1: like a group of people following him, I haven't really
12:03
Speaker 1: seen much reasoning for the way that people seem to
12:08
Speaker 1: regard him, And there are other folks with badass abilities
12:14
Speaker 1: or histories who lead groups of people as well. I
12:17
Speaker 1: think it's just that he has the guts to stand
12:20
Speaker 1: up to the world government. That's really the thing, which
12:23
Speaker 1: is fine. But I haven't gotten to see a lot
12:26
Speaker 1: of that either in action, so I think that's part
12:30
Speaker 1: of it, is like it just hasn't made that much
12:31
Speaker 1: of an impression on me yet. Florian says he created
12:37
Speaker 1: a path for them by creating wind. Question mark, We
12:40
Speaker 1: don't know his powers. Wind would be strong in a
12:43
Speaker 1: world of ships, that's true. The thing with Lufy was
12:47
Speaker 1: like lightning, so it may be that he has some
12:51
Speaker 1: sort of general weather power, which would be I'm just
12:57
Speaker 1: thinking about like Nami and her having the climb attacked,
13:00
Speaker 1: and how he could potentially have like a supercharged version
13:03
Speaker 1: of that. And if I were Nami and I met
13:07
Speaker 1: somebody who had like the weather weather fruit, would I
13:10
Speaker 1: be pissed and be like, oh, sure, I thought my
13:13
Speaker 1: thing was cool, and yet I get shown up by
13:15
Speaker 1: a devil fruit eater yet again. So I'm going to
13:22
Speaker 1: to like back up a little here, because we meet
13:27
Speaker 1: the villain of this little this moment. He's such a
13:33
Speaker 1: He's so the villains whenever you're you're in a small
13:39
Speaker 1: arc it are it's always so embarrassing because they have
13:43
Speaker 1: to like grandstand in the same way that big badass
13:47
Speaker 1: villains have to grandstand, but they don't know that they're
13:51
Speaker 1: not big badasses and that everybody kind of is like
13:54
Speaker 1: this guy. So this dude's name is Peach Beard. And
14:02
Speaker 1: I don't know about y'all, but Peach Beard is simply
14:10
Speaker 1: not really hitting for me. It's not a good name.
14:17
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. I'm gonna be very straight and
14:21
Speaker 1: say it just sounds like you're talking about pubic hare,
14:26
Speaker 1: you know, like peach is often used as an emoji
14:29
Speaker 1: or slang for ass, pussy whatever, and beard boom. It
14:39
Speaker 1: just really makes me feel like he's talking about pubic
14:44
Speaker 1: hair on a woman specifically, but like not exclusively. I
14:53
Speaker 1: he should have run past a pr agent with this.
14:58
Speaker 1: This is he had choices, you know, Like he chooses
15:02
Speaker 1: this name in the episode, is like this is what
15:04
Speaker 1: I want to be known by? Is it? Though? Like
15:11
Speaker 1: this this is a big moment for you, and you
15:13
Speaker 1: really should think about it and reflect and just you know,
15:17
Speaker 1: like maybe have a small meeting with some of your
15:21
Speaker 1: second in command, see how they react to it, and
15:25
Speaker 1: just find just take the temperature of the room regardless.
15:32
Speaker 1: That's what he chooses, and he is here to just
15:36
Speaker 1: like take everything including there's a girl who's trying to
15:40
Speaker 1: hide something from him and he stops her, and we
15:43
Speaker 1: find out that it's actually this big jar of milk
15:47
Speaker 1: that she wants to keep for the children for like
15:50
Speaker 1: their nutrition, and he won't like leave it alone. When
15:57
Speaker 1: he sees that she's hiding something, he targets her, expecting
16:00
Speaker 1: it to be like a real treasure, and then it
16:04
Speaker 1: turns out to be milk, and he's like, oh, is
16:06
Speaker 1: that all it is? Well, that's cool. I'm still going
16:11
Speaker 1: to take it from you, though, And she tries to
16:16
Speaker 1: argue with him, and he hits her across the face.
16:20
Speaker 1: And when he hits her, she kind of like gets
16:25
Speaker 1: tossed to the side and lands headfirst between some titties
16:32
Speaker 1: who belonged to a character whose name I don't know.
16:37
Speaker 1: This is going to be a little bit of a
16:38
Speaker 1: thing here, so forgive me, but help me out. I
16:45
Speaker 1: want to mention that when she lands between these titties,
16:49
Speaker 1: she does not recoil. She looks down and is sort
16:52
Speaker 1: of like, oh, titties, But there's no moment of her
16:54
Speaker 1: going oh and backing away. The street begins to like
17:00
Speaker 1: push upward and she when the camera so to speak,
17:04
Speaker 1: turns back to her. She's still at those titties, and
17:08
Speaker 1: one of her hands is on one of the titties. Now,
17:13
Speaker 1: it really is giving to me that she's very happy
17:17
Speaker 1: to be here and is just accepting it. And the
17:20
Speaker 1: chitty's owner does not seem to mind this. For the record,
17:24
Speaker 1: she's not mad at it. Florian says, you might not
17:29
Speaker 1: remember it. This girl was in the Ace cover story.
17:32
Speaker 1: Definitely do not. You've seen that years ago when we
17:34
Speaker 1: were about to go into saving Ace. Betty is the
17:37
Speaker 1: titty woman, thank you, Florian. The titty woman, Betty. So
17:45
Speaker 1: the street, as I said, begins to sort of swell upward,
17:49
Speaker 1: and then this huge, weird trident comes out of it,
17:53
Speaker 1: and it's a trident that's got like a look to
17:56
Speaker 1: it that we've got more going on here than just
17:59
Speaker 1: a regular tree. And it's clearly a gadget, you know.
18:03
Speaker 1: And then a hand comes out and this enormous fucking
18:08
Speaker 1: dude pulls himself out of the hole, and he's got
18:12
Speaker 1: a what looks almost like a jet pack on his back,
18:18
Speaker 1: and he is wearing only what looks to be a
18:25
Speaker 1: tiny kilts It's somebody calls it a miniskirt, and it
18:30
Speaker 1: really does look like a miniskirt due to his size.
18:34
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if it was intended to be a
18:36
Speaker 1: miniskirt or if this is just the result of him
18:39
Speaker 1: being in it, because like anybody out there who's got
18:42
Speaker 1: a big ass like myself knows, a skirt that is
18:45
Speaker 1: not intended to be mini can be made mini depending
18:50
Speaker 1: on your own proportions. And all of a sudden, your
18:53
Speaker 1: entire ass is out and that was not the fashion
18:55
Speaker 1: statement that you were trying to make here, so more
19:00
Speaker 1: is the giant thank you, Florian. So he I love
19:06
Speaker 1: this morally, just every time somebody mentions what he's marrying, warrying, worrying, marrying,
19:14
Speaker 1: Oh my god, guys, every time somebody mentions it, he's
19:20
Speaker 1: like a little self conscious, like he'll put his hand
19:22
Speaker 1: over his butt. But really, the thing that he keeps
19:26
Speaker 1: saying is that if you're looking, you must be kind
19:29
Speaker 1: of into me. And I honestly think this joke is great.
19:34
Speaker 1: It keeps happening. He's so tall, and so you're expecting
19:41
Speaker 1: what he says to be like really threatening, and then
19:45
Speaker 1: it's just like, if you're into me, then just say so.
19:49
Speaker 1: And the way that he doesn't seem to be fussed
19:55
Speaker 1: whether it's men or women. He's fine either way. It's
20:00
Speaker 1: giving ally Loki And I don't know, Morley, I'm just
20:04
Speaker 1: kind of here for it. I like this energy a
20:06
Speaker 1: whole lot. So, yeah, him coming out from under the street,
20:13
Speaker 1: not clear exactly what it was that he was doing
20:17
Speaker 1: under there, but he can like manipulate the street around him.
20:23
Speaker 1: He is able to sort of I don't know what
20:25
Speaker 1: the word is, like he sort of scoops it. It
20:28
Speaker 1: feels like with the trident, and the whole thing ripples
20:31
Speaker 1: like it's a piece of fabric or something, or like
20:34
Speaker 1: he's stirring the surface of a pot of liquid and
20:37
Speaker 1: it's just like moving. And so these dudes can't even
20:42
Speaker 1: stand up to attack. They're like, you know, there's no
20:45
Speaker 1: steady ground to walk on. So this is when Betty
20:52
Speaker 1: starts her thing. Betty has got to be the subject
20:58
Speaker 1: of a lot of fans of femdom because her entire
21:05
Speaker 1: vibe is I'm going to humiliate you and then I'm
21:09
Speaker 1: going to make you feel good with like one or
21:11
Speaker 1: two tiny crumbs of praise. And it just is a
21:17
Speaker 1: very very specific type of attitude that I have no
21:22
Speaker 1: doubt is a whole thing for a lot of people.
21:26
Speaker 1: So she comes in here calling all the townsfolk submissive
21:31
Speaker 1: pieces of trash because they haven't like stood up against
21:36
Speaker 1: these guys. And I do love when she says that.
21:39
Speaker 1: One of them just says, hey, that's rude. Apparently she
21:45
Speaker 1: has an ability that can instill in them a huge
21:50
Speaker 1: like boost in their confidence and a sense of power,
21:56
Speaker 1: which we will get to in a moment. First we
22:01
Speaker 1: have to meet this other dude who is a Is
22:06
Speaker 1: this a cat? I think it's a cat. The it
22:14
Speaker 1: gets called a monkey, but it looks cat like to me. Uh,
22:21
Speaker 1: let's see. Florian says they are gender terms. Have to
22:29
Speaker 1: look them up. She too, part of mister two and
22:33
Speaker 1: Ivan's clan. One might say, wait, are you saying that
22:37
Speaker 1: Morley is she her? Lindbergh is a mink with a jetpack,
22:46
Speaker 1: a mink cat though, or it's hard to say because
22:53
Speaker 1: he's got like so many so much equipment on. Yes,
22:59
Speaker 1: a cat, and she her for the giant. Okay, so
23:03
Speaker 1: more Liza she here, I predict I am going to
23:06
Speaker 1: fuck that up a little bit. So apologies, guys, I'm
23:09
Speaker 1: gonna I'm really really gonna try, I swear, but this
23:12
Speaker 1: is the sort of thing that programming can make difficult,
23:16
Speaker 1: so I'm just wanting to get out ahead of that
23:19
Speaker 1: a little bit. And then we have the like huge
23:25
Speaker 1: murder of crows that flies up over the entire town
23:31
Speaker 1: and assembles into a person. These this is I mean, look,
23:37
Speaker 1: there is a reason why crows and ravens are like
23:42
Speaker 1: beloved animals to certain aesthetics, they're rad as hell. I
23:48
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry, but it's just really hard for me
23:51
Speaker 1: to ever like, there are certain things aesthetically that are
23:58
Speaker 1: overused to a point where I don't find them cool
24:01
Speaker 1: anymore because they just remind me of like goth wannabes
24:07
Speaker 1: and whatnot. And then there are things like this which
24:10
Speaker 1: just transcend that, and there's no it's always cool. It
24:14
Speaker 1: just always is it Just so, this dude forms and
24:19
Speaker 1: he's real weird looking. He's got extremely pale skin with
24:26
Speaker 1: like a gray undertone and heavy eyeliner pointed ears, and
24:33
Speaker 1: I think a bald head. It's possible that it's hidden
24:38
Speaker 1: on like his hair is hidden somehow, but I think
24:40
Speaker 1: it's a bald head, and that what I'm seeing on
24:44
Speaker 1: his head is the strap to the mask. And this
24:49
Speaker 1: is when he says, like how Darry try to horrm
24:52
Speaker 1: the innocent and it's like the first time you hear
24:54
Speaker 1: him speak and you can hardly hear him, and it's
24:56
Speaker 1: really it's very, very funny. So one of the people
25:06
Speaker 1: yells like one of peach Beard's men yells something like,
25:10
Speaker 1: these are four of the captains of the Revolutionary Army,
25:14
Speaker 1: and peach Beard immediately just goes what And we get
25:21
Speaker 1: the intro cards for each one of them, and uh, Betty,
25:28
Speaker 1: what a fucking g Honestly, So the girl with the
25:34
Speaker 1: milk who's off to the side is just like, wait, revolutionaries,
25:39
Speaker 1: are they here to help? And I'm like, obviously one
25:42
Speaker 1: of them just told him to stop. We go back
25:45
Speaker 1: to the Sonny here and Lufi is getting patched up
25:50
Speaker 1: by Chopper and he asks Nami, because she's reading the
25:57
Speaker 1: newspaper with Carot, if there's any news in about Sabo,
26:01
Speaker 1: and she says that she doesn't see anything other than
26:04
Speaker 1: the fact that the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army was
26:10
Speaker 1: discovered and destroyed. And we get the narrator explaining to
26:17
Speaker 1: us who the Revolutionary Army is, the fact that they
26:21
Speaker 1: want to overtake the world government and destroy it. The
26:26
Speaker 1: whole thing with Dragon being Lufy's dad, et cetera, et cetera.
26:32
Speaker 1: And then we go to Dragon and Koala and they
26:37
Speaker 1: are meeting at a new spot where because like they
26:41
Speaker 1: lost their place and there was nowhere for them to go,
26:45
Speaker 1: and she's talking about how she was really worried about
26:48
Speaker 1: what was going to happen to them since they didn't
26:51
Speaker 1: have a place to call home. It's an officer's meeting,
26:57
Speaker 1: is what she calls it. And he says this should
27:01
Speaker 1: serve well as our base of operations for now. I
27:04
Speaker 1: don't remember if they say exactly where this location is,
27:07
Speaker 1: but it's very very like pink and purple. It does
27:12
Speaker 1: not look like cherry blossoms really, but it's got that
27:18
Speaker 1: kind of energy to it, even the shrubs and the
27:23
Speaker 1: grass and whatnot. Oh wait, this is uh yeah, yeah, sorry.
27:29
Speaker 1: Florian's in the chat telling me they're on Ivankov's island.
27:33
Speaker 1: That's right, right, right. I forgot that because eventually you
27:36
Speaker 1: see Ivankov, but that's not necessarily indicating that it's their island.
27:42
Speaker 1: But in the background I can see the like turrets
27:46
Speaker 1: that have the heart shaped tops. So that's the main
27:50
Speaker 1: thing that I remember, is like that being the architecture
27:54
Speaker 1: on the island. It's very funny to me that I
28:01
Speaker 1: like out of everything. I'm just like, oh, yeah, the
28:04
Speaker 1: heart shaped turrets. That's the thing. I try to watch
28:09
Speaker 1: episodes more than once if I can, but often when
28:12
Speaker 1: I'm recording on a Thursday, after having just covered on Tuesday,
28:17
Speaker 1: I'm not able to fit into watches, so I'll usually
28:22
Speaker 1: have like a slightly slipperier grasp on Thursdays than I
28:26
Speaker 1: do on Tuesdays. But yeah, Ivankov is here, and I
28:34
Speaker 1: like cheered out loud, very very excited to see them,
28:39
Speaker 1: and I'm like, it's the kind of thing that I
28:45
Speaker 1: feel with these episodes and somewhat the previous ones, but
28:51
Speaker 1: more so with these I feel about them. I think
28:57
Speaker 1: the way that y'all felt when certain characters were being
29:01
Speaker 1: introduced years ago, and you knew who they were and
29:07
Speaker 1: so you were excited for them to be introduced to me,
29:09
Speaker 1: and I was sort of like, well, but I don't
29:12
Speaker 1: know any of these people, so this doesn't mean anything
29:14
Speaker 1: to me. But now I'm in a place where this
29:19
Speaker 1: all feels like really really fun because we're getting to
29:23
Speaker 1: see characters we haven't seen in a while. That I
29:26
Speaker 1: really have some affection for and they're mixed in with
29:28
Speaker 1: people I don't know, but nevertheless, I just really Ivankov also,
29:34
Speaker 1: I mean, what a g They one of my favorite
29:40
Speaker 1: surprises from this show, like, and it's not even close
29:45
Speaker 1: is ivon Kov's whole like I mean, I mean personality,
29:52
Speaker 1: the setup in impelled down with this like subculture, the
29:58
Speaker 1: island it self, and Sanji's fucking story. Notwithstanding, I just
30:06
Speaker 1: really am excited to see them again, and now that
30:11
Speaker 1: we have a another like gender bending character in Morally,
30:17
Speaker 1: there's a lot of delight in me that this revolutionary
30:22
Speaker 1: army is so queer because that's like correct, right, I mean,
30:29
Speaker 1: it just is, That's always how it goes. I'm not
30:32
Speaker 1: trying to say that like queer people aren't out here
30:34
Speaker 1: fighting for the status quo, because some are, but primarily
30:42
Speaker 1: if they are being honest about who they are and
30:46
Speaker 1: what matters to them, they're going to be for revolution
30:51
Speaker 1: almost always. So anyway, I just I'm almost wishing that
31:00
Speaker 1: we could just like stay here, you know. But yeah,
31:04
Speaker 1: so this is when Ivonkov says, you're free to do
31:06
Speaker 1: as you like here with no judgment, and all of
31:10
Speaker 1: the people behind Avonkov just throw their arms up and
31:13
Speaker 1: say feel free to make yourselves nice and comfy, which
31:19
Speaker 1: I don't know why, but I really liked that wording.
31:22
Speaker 1: It's not like you're free to do as you like
31:24
Speaker 1: in a super indulgent, hedonistic sort of way, but more
31:29
Speaker 1: like maybe you have to mask all the time. You
31:32
Speaker 1: don't have to do that here, don't worry about it,
31:35
Speaker 1: which is as somebody who does mask a huge relief.
31:41
Speaker 1: It's crazy to me, you guys, how I like how
31:48
Speaker 1: tiring masking is and how often I did it and
31:51
Speaker 1: didn't realize it, and now when I have to do
31:53
Speaker 1: it and do realize it, it feels so much more
31:56
Speaker 1: draining than it used to. It's like, I don't know,
31:59
Speaker 1: once you give an to it and start to understand it,
32:01
Speaker 1: it's just like, I don't want to do this anymore.
32:05
Speaker 1: So I think it's Koala who says something about like,
32:10
Speaker 1: are you serious he's this late? Where the hell is he?
32:13
Speaker 1: And van Kov's like he's here already, what are you
32:17
Speaker 1: talking about? And just like kind of puts a thumb
32:20
Speaker 1: over their shoulder, and we see Sawbo off to the
32:24
Speaker 1: side reading the newspaper with a big smile on his face,
32:28
Speaker 1: and then we have everybody like gathering around and having
32:31
Speaker 1: a meal and talking about Loofy and what's going on
32:34
Speaker 1: with him, and the fact that he's like, you know,
32:37
Speaker 1: really walking in his father's footsteps. Dragon doesn't have much reaction.
32:45
Speaker 1: I think that I don't know, man, maybe this is
32:48
Speaker 1: part of my feelings about Dragon, and I wasn't really
32:54
Speaker 1: realizing it earlier when I was talking about him, But
32:57
Speaker 1: I think that how he is like Lufy's dad, but
33:05
Speaker 1: apparently like utterly abandoned him, And now I don't really
33:12
Speaker 1: see any betrayal of real affection from him other than
33:16
Speaker 1: saving him from execution. And I would say that like
33:20
Speaker 1: saving from execution isn't really a mark of affection. It
33:26
Speaker 1: seems more like duty. Not that some parents wouldn't feel like, sure,
33:33
Speaker 1: I'll let my kid die whatever. I'm looking at you, judge.
33:36
Speaker 1: But I think maybe that's part of where it where
33:41
Speaker 1: things sort of like curdle for me. It's just I
33:45
Speaker 1: want him to love his son more better, and I
33:51
Speaker 1: want to feel like when he sees the news about Loufy,
33:56
Speaker 1: that he's as proud and as excited as a lot
34:00
Speaker 1: of the other people in Lufy's life. That are not
34:04
Speaker 1: related to him and who really only knew him, like
34:07
Speaker 1: for a short time. How Like they react more strongly
34:12
Speaker 1: than he does a lot. And granted he knows Lufy
34:17
Speaker 1: less well than all of them, but he is Lufy's dad,
34:22
Speaker 1: you know, So I don't know, it's a I feel
34:27
Speaker 1: sort of like, on the other hand, if he felt
34:30
Speaker 1: proud of him, would I be annoyed because I'm like,
34:33
Speaker 1: you don't get to feel proud because you fucking abandon him,
34:37
Speaker 1: Because there's a possibility that I'm gonna feel like that.
34:41
Speaker 1: It depends on how he acts about feeling proud. Because
34:45
Speaker 1: there are a lot of parents out there who totally
34:49
Speaker 1: neglected their children, and then when their kids actually do
34:53
Speaker 1: well in spite of this shitty parent, they the parent
34:58
Speaker 1: will like take credit for the fact that their kid
35:03
Speaker 1: is doing well in a way that's truly audacious. And
35:07
Speaker 1: you see it a lot because the kinds of people
35:10
Speaker 1: who are willing to totally abandon their children or be
35:13
Speaker 1: dead beats are usually really self absorbed, selfish people, and
35:19
Speaker 1: so of course they're going to see what their child
35:21
Speaker 1: is doing and take credit for it as if that
35:24
Speaker 1: is all due to them, because everything is about them
35:27
Speaker 1: in their own minds, you know. Florian says, Yeah, if
35:33
Speaker 1: Louvi wasn't Loofy, I would be sad. Bright side is
35:36
Speaker 1: Lufy does not give a fuck, but not a good
35:38
Speaker 1: look for now. Yeah, I mean that's definitely a point.
35:43
Speaker 1: Is like, I don't There are plenty of characters who
35:50
Speaker 1: if they grew up not knowing who their father was
35:53
Speaker 1: and found out, they would be like so betrayed, they
35:56
Speaker 1: would feel like, you know, there would be a real
35:59
Speaker 1: serious edge to this reveal. And with Loofy, it really
36:04
Speaker 1: didn't seem like he cared all that much, and he
36:09
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to have a lot of feelings about the
36:11
Speaker 1: fact that he was like left to his own devices.
36:15
Speaker 1: I am. I have to be honest, guys, that as
36:23
Speaker 1: a character trait with Loofy, it's a double edged sword.
36:29
Speaker 1: The fact when I say that as a character trait,
36:32
Speaker 1: not this specifically, but simply the fact that Loofy seems
36:36
Speaker 1: not to care about things that would matter to most people.
36:40
Speaker 1: It's part of what makes him so distinctive and so
36:44
Speaker 1: willing to put it all on the line in the
36:46
Speaker 1: way that he does, because what matters to most people
36:50
Speaker 1: is also often the thing that keeps people from taking action.
36:54
Speaker 1: Loofy is always willing to take action and put it
36:58
Speaker 1: all on the line no matter what, because he doesn't
37:01
Speaker 1: have the usual response to whatever is happening. So on
37:08
Speaker 1: the one hand, I recognize that this kind of eccentricity
37:14
Speaker 1: about him makes his character and I totally acknowledge that,
37:19
Speaker 1: and I respect that, But there are times where it
37:24
Speaker 1: makes him feel like less of a full human being,
37:28
Speaker 1: and I think that it's part of why I long
37:34
Speaker 1: for like the Slice of Life episodes where we get
37:37
Speaker 1: to see everybody just sort of chilling, And part of
37:40
Speaker 1: also why I like the live action is because that
37:45
Speaker 1: Loofy feels more like a complete person and slightly more
37:51
Speaker 1: well rounded, less oblivious in the way of like a
37:57
Speaker 1: five year old child, and more oblivious in a way
38:00
Speaker 1: of like, I am choosing to prioritize what I care about,
38:04
Speaker 1: and that's not a thing I care about, so I'm
38:06
Speaker 1: just gonna sail right past it, which feels different than
38:10
Speaker 1: simply being totally unconscious of something in the way that
38:14
Speaker 1: a child would be unconscious of it. So there are
38:19
Speaker 1: times where I want Lufhy to have a little bit
38:22
Speaker 1: more of a reaction, not not huge. I don't need
38:27
Speaker 1: a naval gazing loofy who's like, oh, my dad abandoned me,
38:31
Speaker 1: Like that's not exactly it, but I would like a
38:34
Speaker 1: little like, huh, I wonder what he was off doing
38:37
Speaker 1: and why he left me there. It doesn't even have
38:40
Speaker 1: to be accusatory. It can just be curiosity like what
38:43
Speaker 1: was he up to? Or maybe even like he's fighting
38:47
Speaker 1: the world government? That sounds good. I would have liked
38:50
Speaker 1: to do that, Like he could have I could have
38:53
Speaker 1: helped him, you know anything that's sort of connected a
39:01
Speaker 1: bit of curiosity in Lufy to his history. But there's
39:08
Speaker 1: like something about him that feels like he just sprung
39:11
Speaker 1: fully formed out of the earth, like a little goblin,
39:17
Speaker 1: and that there is no lore for him. Like if
39:21
Speaker 1: you told me we never find out who Lufy's parents are,
39:25
Speaker 1: I would be like, yeah, that tracks we don't need
39:28
Speaker 1: to who could possibly be his parents? That would be satisfying,
39:34
Speaker 1: because dude is so completely unique that he feels like
39:39
Speaker 1: a figment of id brought to life by a fairy.
39:44
Speaker 1: So all this to say, I understand that he doesn't
39:50
Speaker 1: seem to be hurt by it. I wouldn't mind a
39:53
Speaker 1: little bit more like connection from him with this information though,
39:59
Speaker 1: and I think maybe this is part of what has
40:01
Speaker 1: me irritated at Dragon as a person. Also, there's a
40:09
Speaker 1: moment here where Ivankov says something about how Sanji never
40:14
Speaker 1: mentioned the fact that he was of Vin Smoke and
40:17
Speaker 1: how they are kind of irritated by that, just like,
40:21
Speaker 1: I can't believe you didn't tell me. So then we
40:25
Speaker 1: get all of the team calling in telling Sambo that
40:29
Speaker 1: they're running late because they ran into some trouble, and
40:33
Speaker 1: we you know, see, like basically the way that they
40:36
Speaker 1: are handling everything with the townsfolk. And I love Betty
40:46
Speaker 1: saying to Morley that peach Beard obviously only wants morally
40:54
Speaker 1: for her body and morally being like, ugh, yuck, I
40:59
Speaker 1: don't think so good for you, girly having some standards
41:03
Speaker 1: because peach Beard is not it. I'm sorry. I just
41:09
Speaker 1: like Krasu being out here in audible is so fucking funny.
41:15
Speaker 1: I really hope this is a thing. I'm going to
41:18
Speaker 1: like take this and the way that this all goes
41:21
Speaker 1: as an indicator that it's an ongoing thing that he
41:24
Speaker 1: forgets to turn the speaker on, because I just think
41:28
Speaker 1: that is so funny, and I really hope it is
41:32
Speaker 1: just like kind of a bit for this character in particular.
41:37
Speaker 1: So this is when Betty raises a flag and she says,
41:43
Speaker 1: it's time for you to earn your destiny. It's not
41:46
Speaker 1: somebody else's job. Are you just going to cower in fear?
41:51
Speaker 1: And she has this flag that she swoops across everybody
41:55
Speaker 1: as she's giving this like motivational speech, and you see
41:59
Speaker 1: the window. It sort of flood over them and they
42:02
Speaker 1: all go from expressions of fear to determination and pick
42:09
Speaker 1: up various things laying in the street that can serve
42:12
Speaker 1: as weapons, to which peach Beard is like, y'all have
42:17
Speaker 1: got sticks and we have swords. Do you think that
42:23
Speaker 1: this is going to work out for you? Because I
42:26
Speaker 1: can't help but think that's unlikely. And then we have
42:30
Speaker 1: one of the village men here saying I can't explain it,
42:34
Speaker 1: but I feel this huge surge of power inside me.
42:38
Speaker 1: And as he says this, he's looking down at his
42:41
Speaker 1: bicep and that bitch is bulging and you can see
42:45
Speaker 1: like the veins in his arm. So I think it's
42:49
Speaker 1: meant to be not just that they get the the
42:57
Speaker 1: boost of confidence, but there's actually a physical thing happening
43:03
Speaker 1: inside their body. And it was so funny because I'm
43:06
Speaker 1: looking at this and the way that his arm looks. Instantly,
43:14
Speaker 1: what I thought of is the pump, which is a
43:19
Speaker 1: thing that body builders will talk about. They when you
43:25
Speaker 1: work out, there comes a point where your body begins
43:29
Speaker 1: to send blood into the muscle because exercising that muscle,
43:34
Speaker 1: by its nature, tears the muscle, and when it heals,
43:38
Speaker 1: it builds more muscle strands, and that's what causes you
43:42
Speaker 1: to bulk up. So there is a point during a
43:46
Speaker 1: workout that's called the pump, and it's when that blood
43:51
Speaker 1: flow is at its peak. It actually will make you
43:55
Speaker 1: look like you're more muscular than you are and will
43:57
Speaker 1: define those areas. And it's a point when a lot
44:02
Speaker 1: of dudes like to take photos and stuff and pose
44:05
Speaker 1: because it's like a bit more of an exaggerated look
44:08
Speaker 1: than how they normally look. And so when this guy
44:12
Speaker 1: is looking down and I'm like, oh my god, he's
44:14
Speaker 1: got the pump. And then we have Morley saying you're
44:18
Speaker 1: feeling the raw power of Betty's pump, pump fruit, and
44:21
Speaker 1: I was like, no, oh my god, it's literally that.
44:26
Speaker 1: So I found that really really funny and like there's
44:32
Speaker 1: a moment in there, such a weird thing to reference,
44:38
Speaker 1: but old. There's an old video circulating from early days
44:47
Speaker 1: Arnold Schwarzenegger when he is training in the gym and
44:50
Speaker 1: he's being asked about like what he likes about working out,
44:55
Speaker 1: and he says something about the pump itself and that
44:58
Speaker 1: it feels like better than sex, and he's like, it's
45:02
Speaker 1: basically like I'm orgasming. Like I can have sex, and
45:06
Speaker 1: I can have an orgasm, and I can go to
45:08
Speaker 1: the gym and work out and I can come there too.
45:12
Speaker 1: So basically, when you watch me lifting, I'm just coming
45:16
Speaker 1: and coming and coming over and over again. It's the
45:20
Speaker 1: craziest thing to say, but anyway, that's what I'm thinking here,
45:25
Speaker 1: is that everybody is feeling the pump and they're basically
45:27
Speaker 1: just coming and coming and coming over and over again.
45:31
Speaker 1: And Betty, we do need to talk about what she's
45:38
Speaker 1: wearing because it's frankly insane. We have a lot of
45:44
Speaker 1: women's outfits in this show that have their issues. Rebecca
45:50
Speaker 1: still wins the prize for most inexcusable outfit of any
45:58
Speaker 1: female character in One Piece. I will say Betty is
46:03
Speaker 1: a pretty close second. This is absolutely out of pocket.
46:09
Speaker 1: There's no need. Can we not please, pretty please? She's
46:19
Speaker 1: got this red top hat with goggles on it, which
46:22
Speaker 1: is apparently just like an aesthetic thing with a bunch
46:25
Speaker 1: of the revolutionaries, but there's also horns, like curly horns
46:31
Speaker 1: coming off it. A little bit too much going on there,
46:33
Speaker 1: I'll say. Despite those goggles being on her hat, she
46:37
Speaker 1: herself is also wearing glasses that are like very angular,
46:42
Speaker 1: like nineteen eighties looking triangular glasses. And off the back
46:49
Speaker 1: of the hat is this plume that's about the size
46:52
Speaker 1: of her entire torso that comes down behind her and
46:55
Speaker 1: looks like this sort of purplish lavender cloud. But then
47:01
Speaker 1: what we've got is a jacket that has a vaguely
47:09
Speaker 1: military look to it, where it's got that braiding down
47:14
Speaker 1: the front and the you know, the sort of loop
47:19
Speaker 1: and hook connectors, and it's wide open. There's nothing on
47:29
Speaker 1: under it. It's simply that and titties. And then for
47:35
Speaker 1: some reason a short necktie, which doesn't really make sense
47:42
Speaker 1: with the military thing. But like, none of these outfits
47:45
Speaker 1: ever make sense, so that's really not that big an issue.
47:49
Speaker 1: And on top of the fact that there's no way
47:53
Speaker 1: that she could possibly button this jacket because it's obviously
47:57
Speaker 1: far too small. It's also so so short that it
48:02
Speaker 1: doesn't even quite pass her rib cage. And she's wearing
48:07
Speaker 1: a miniskirt of her own, which is also a low rise,
48:13
Speaker 1: so you've got about four inches of fabric probably, and
48:20
Speaker 1: then the obligatory thigh high stockings and boots. The stockings
48:29
Speaker 1: are like a red and white stripe, and then the
48:32
Speaker 1: boots over those. The mini skirt is a little weird
48:36
Speaker 1: because it has like a train so in the back
48:40
Speaker 1: it's longer, but really, for all intents and purposes, that
48:45
Speaker 1: does not change the fact that it's like a straight
48:47
Speaker 1: up mini skirt. So anyway, I just really, Oda, can
48:54
Speaker 1: you just please just like play it cool for once
48:59
Speaker 1: in your life with a female character, for the love
49:02
Speaker 1: of god, I come on now. So anyway, she rallies
49:11
Speaker 1: everybody and you see all of them just be like
49:15
Speaker 1: fuck yeah and start to attack peach Beard's pirates, and
49:20
Speaker 1: you have that girl just like actually saying out loud,
49:24
Speaker 1: this is for the milk, as she like kicks him,
49:28
Speaker 1: and I like to think in the nutsack, even though
49:31
Speaker 1: I'm not I do not think that's actually correct, but Yeah,
49:35
Speaker 1: it's very funny and very satisfying to me. And this
49:39
Speaker 1: is for the milk. It's just a funny line anyway.
49:43
Speaker 1: So I really enjoy this, the idea of like we
49:48
Speaker 1: can come and like save you in quotes. But the
49:52
Speaker 1: way that we do that is empowering you to rise
49:55
Speaker 1: up against your own oppressors and unify and have the
50:00
Speaker 1: courage to do that. And I'll tell you what, we
50:03
Speaker 1: do need this in the United States right now. So
50:06
Speaker 1: Betty insane outfit notwithstanding, can you like come here and
50:12
Speaker 1: just assist us with getting this to this point because
50:17
Speaker 1: evidently we do really need the help. We don't know
50:21
Speaker 1: how to rise up. It's not in our it's not
50:25
Speaker 1: in our blood right now. It's like it got bred
50:28
Speaker 1: out of us through too much peace and easy living,
50:34
Speaker 1: and now we don't know how to do it anymore.
50:38
Speaker 1: So And also she I love this too. After like
50:43
Speaker 1: beating the shit out of peach Beard, she has him
50:48
Speaker 1: like trust up and says, okay, guys, well, since you've
50:53
Speaker 1: got him, here's his wanted poster and how much he's worth,
50:57
Speaker 1: y'all should definitely like cat in and get the bounty
51:02
Speaker 1: on him. And that never even occurred. To me, but
51:07
Speaker 1: like Betty being like, I'm gonna help you guys, help yourselves,
51:11
Speaker 1: and then I'm going to hand over the prisoner that's
51:15
Speaker 1: worth some money so that you have some resources with
51:18
Speaker 1: which you can rebuild. Honestly, I love it. I can't
51:25
Speaker 1: I do so when I you know, when I criticized
51:31
Speaker 1: her outfit and everything, I fucking stand by that. But
51:33
Speaker 1: that's not her fault. That's what she's drawn to look like,
51:37
Speaker 1: and it is what it is. And personally as a character,
51:42
Speaker 1: her power is like a favorite for me right now.
51:46
Speaker 1: I feel that if I were to, like, if I
51:53
Speaker 1: were to say what I would want my power to be,
51:56
Speaker 1: I don't think i'd actually pick this one, but I'd
52:00
Speaker 1: want to pick it. It just doesn't feel like it
52:02
Speaker 1: would be super useful from day to day. It feels
52:06
Speaker 1: like the sort of thing that would be a very
52:09
Speaker 1: specific case and going around rescuing people from pirates. This
52:14
Speaker 1: is the perfect ability to have when you have that
52:17
Speaker 1: sort of job. I do not, So, you know, I
52:21
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe I could pump up my listening audience
52:24
Speaker 1: to suddenly all become patrons, and that would be something
52:26
Speaker 1: I don't know, So I'm gonna jump then into the
52:34
Speaker 1: second episode, which is almost all War of the Best flashbacks.
52:47
Speaker 1: It's funny that I didn't see Florian's like message to
52:53
Speaker 1: me talking about how it's going to be a lot
52:54
Speaker 1: of recaps next episode, because while watching it, I kept
52:59
Speaker 1: waiting for the flashbacks to end and to go on
53:02
Speaker 1: with like the actual plot, and then begin to realize,
53:05
Speaker 1: I don't, Oh, I'm not sure that's even gonna happen.
53:08
Speaker 1: I think this might be the whole episode, and it does. Indeed,
53:14
Speaker 1: it takes up almost the whole thing. But I think
53:19
Speaker 1: we're just meant to, you know, take away from this
53:22
Speaker 1: the reminder of the fact that like everything that went
53:25
Speaker 1: down with impel down with the fact that Lufy is
53:28
Speaker 1: uh the that he went there to free Ace. There's
53:34
Speaker 1: a sense for me as well of like potentially Buggy
53:41
Speaker 1: and Mister three are going to be back in the mix,
53:43
Speaker 1: and we need to be reminded of the fact that
53:46
Speaker 1: they kind of worked with Lufy for a minute, even
53:49
Speaker 1: though they're not really allies. I'm personally, you know, we
53:56
Speaker 1: have that like little teeny tiny what's the word I
54:01
Speaker 1: want uh check in? I guess with Buggy where he's
54:07
Speaker 1: he's got his like body parts spread out under a
54:11
Speaker 1: cloak in such a way that he looks much bigger
54:14
Speaker 1: than he did, which I think is actually kind of clever.
54:19
Speaker 1: So I am looking forward to Buggy and you guys know,
54:24
Speaker 1: I don't look I'll say I'll say it again, And
54:27
Speaker 1: I know that this is a really weird thing to
54:29
Speaker 1: say with the cartoon, but now that we have like
54:33
Speaker 1: the actor that's cast in the live action for Buggy,
54:36
Speaker 1: I feel a little bit less weird in saying it.
54:42
Speaker 1: Buggy in Impelled Down is kind of hot. I don't
54:48
Speaker 1: know if it's just the like he doesn't have the
54:52
Speaker 1: hat and his hair is actually pretty good, and I
54:57
Speaker 1: think that the actor who plays him is pretty attractive himself,
55:01
Speaker 1: and so having this like look for him in the show.
55:07
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's a ways away, but kind of looking
55:12
Speaker 1: forward to it a little bit. So I don't know
55:15
Speaker 1: if I'm like feeling a little bit more generous toward
55:18
Speaker 1: him simply because I'm like, well, this is the hot version,
55:21
Speaker 1: so I think I'm here for it. Mister three ain't shit.
55:26
Speaker 1: He still ain't shit, nothing changed, same piece of shit.
55:31
Speaker 1: And I'm scrolling through because there's like we have all
55:37
Speaker 1: of these different check ins with like Sengoku and oh
55:43
Speaker 1: my god, what is the guy's name, Sakazuki? Oh, that guy,
55:47
Speaker 1: he fucking sucks. He sucks so bad. Like I think
55:54
Speaker 1: that I made myself forget about him because he's so
55:58
Speaker 1: unpleasant and he's on fortunately a real threat in a
56:03
Speaker 1: way that's like I don't want to admit that he is,
56:06
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, but he I mean everything,
56:16
Speaker 1: like everything with Ace, everything with white Beard. And then
56:21
Speaker 1: in these episodes he says something about how like he
56:23
Speaker 1: really regrets not killing Lufy when he had the chance,
56:27
Speaker 1: And I am sort of curious about the origin of
56:31
Speaker 1: this guy, because what happened to make you so fucking
56:37
Speaker 1: bloodthirsty and so certain of your position? The way that
56:43
Speaker 1: this guy is just like a feral dog, and being
56:52
Speaker 1: he's not an assassin because it's too like an assassin
56:55
Speaker 1: implies that there's something kind of clandestine about it, and
56:59
Speaker 1: he's not. He's out here just saying shit. But he
57:03
Speaker 1: feels weirdly out of control to me, and I think
57:08
Speaker 1: that's the part that I'm kind of responding to, is
57:10
Speaker 1: like he is allegedly a tool to keep people under control,
57:15
Speaker 1: but he himself is out of control, and it's a
57:20
Speaker 1: manifestation in a lot of ways of the weird attitude
57:24
Speaker 1: a lot of men have regarding emotion, where they try
57:27
Speaker 1: and act like women are the emotional ones and men
57:30
Speaker 1: are not, because men only ever get angry, and anger
57:35
Speaker 1: doesn't count as an emotion, and therefore they are not emotional.
57:39
Speaker 1: And that's sort of, you know, he sort of like
57:42
Speaker 1: mentally represents to me all of the worst, most violent
57:46
Speaker 1: parts of like toxic masculinity. I'm realizing I am at time,
57:55
Speaker 1: and I was genuinely worried that I wasn't going to
57:57
Speaker 1: have enough to say, and here I am. You guys,
58:00
Speaker 1: my god, oh fucking Sengoku too. I hate this dude.
58:04
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is about Sengoku that I
58:06
Speaker 1: hate so much either, Like he being part of the
58:10
Speaker 1: world government is certainly adequate, but I don't know, there's
58:13
Speaker 1: something about him that really gets under my fucking skin too.
58:19
Speaker 1: Trying to just like make sure that there's not a
58:22
Speaker 1: big thing I'm missing here, it's mostly just the fact
58:26
Speaker 1: that everybody is beginning to gather, and obviously our friends
58:31
Speaker 1: are going to somehow wind up there too, even though
58:33
Speaker 1: I'm not really sure how that will make sense for
58:38
Speaker 1: them and how because it seems like from the world
58:43
Speaker 1: government are definitely going to be there, so I would
58:47
Speaker 1: think they'd try to avoid it. And I'm wondering, is
58:50
Speaker 1: it going to be that they go there knowing what's there?
58:52
Speaker 1: Are they going to go there not knowing what they're
58:54
Speaker 1: walking into? Are they going to be captured and brought there?
58:57
Speaker 1: Are they going to be tricked into coming? I don't know. Sorry,
59:05
Speaker 1: I'm just like scrolling around here and just making sure.
59:09
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I was talking about fucking what's his name?
59:12
Speaker 1: But I'm so sorry that was Akhayinu. That whole thing
59:14
Speaker 1: about how he's toxic masculinity and killed Ace and all
59:18
Speaker 1: that was akay knew that I meant. I'm sorry I
59:21
Speaker 1: got him totally confused. It's been a while since I've
59:24
Speaker 1: interacted with these characters, so forgive me, guys. But yeah,
59:28
Speaker 1: a Kaynu is like there's there's other characters like villains
59:31
Speaker 1: that I've hated more because of their overall personality or
59:34
Speaker 1: their weird like character design that's kind of gross, But
59:38
Speaker 1: a Kayenu is the one that I've hated the most
59:41
Speaker 1: in like a pure sort of you represent an entire
59:50
Speaker 1: gender's flaws in my eyes, you know what I'm saying.
59:56
Speaker 1: Florian says, the only thing left is the people arriving
59:59
Speaker 1: at the rever read Lord Taco or whatever in King Burger.
1:00:03
Speaker 1: You guys, this I am. I am really interested to
1:00:17
Speaker 1: see more of this because we've met them in the
1:00:20
Speaker 1: live action. We have seen them, and we've seen King Berger.
1:00:25
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure before at least like a short moment.
1:00:30
Speaker 1: You know. It is a stylized like sort of Abe Lincoln,
1:00:38
Speaker 1: like Uncle Sam type of look, with a style of
1:00:43
Speaker 1: speaking that feels very like Lincoln ish. It's really something.
1:00:51
Speaker 1: It's so funny to be on the receiving end of
1:00:55
Speaker 1: the type of treatment that usually it's white people inflicting
1:01:00
Speaker 1: on any non white country. You know, it's we're the
1:01:06
Speaker 1: ones who will boil down an entire continent to a
1:01:12
Speaker 1: single stereotype. When it's done to us, it's so fascinating
1:01:17
Speaker 1: to me because I'm just like, what is it that
1:01:18
Speaker 1: they're going to zero win on what's going to be
1:01:20
Speaker 1: the thing, And the fact that with us it's always burgers.
1:01:24
Speaker 1: It seems like when it comes to Japan, I definitely understand,
1:01:30
Speaker 1: but it's also just like endlessly funny. I'm not mad.
1:01:37
Speaker 1: I just think it's funny. All right, I have to
1:01:40
Speaker 1: wrap this up, but I'm you know, I think that
1:01:44
Speaker 1: probably for next time, I'm going to try and like
1:01:47
Speaker 1: focus a little bit more on exactly who's showing up
1:01:49
Speaker 1: so that I've got the names down, because since we're
1:01:52
Speaker 1: going into an arc that it seems a lot of
1:01:55
Speaker 1: people are coming together for I suspect it will be
1:01:58
Speaker 1: more important than ever that I start to like remember
1:02:01
Speaker 1: names and keep things straight, because I think it's otherwise
1:02:03
Speaker 1: going to get pretty confusing pretty quick, so I will
1:02:08
Speaker 1: be paying extra attention. But yeah, I uh. Even despite
1:02:14
Speaker 1: the fact that this was a lot of flashbacks, I
1:02:16
Speaker 1: actually didn't mind it because it was all flashbacks to
1:02:19
Speaker 1: things that really happened so long ago now that I
1:02:22
Speaker 1: had forgotten some of it, so it was I think
1:02:25
Speaker 1: good for me to go back and revisit. And obviously
1:02:31
Speaker 1: I needed it since I was calling Okay, you knew
1:02:33
Speaker 1: by the wrong name the whole time, so you know
1:02:35
Speaker 1: it's going to happen. All right, guys, thank you again,
1:02:39
Speaker 1: Thank you Florian for commissioning this one. Hope y'all are
1:02:42
Speaker 1: enjoying the coverage, and until next time, to Loo Motherfuckers.
1:03:15
Speaker 1: That was an unspoiled network podcast.
