  Speaker 1: This is an Unspoiled Network podcast. This is spoil Me,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: covering one piece episodes seven twenty three through seven twenty five.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: A collision of hockey Loofy versus Dove Flamingo Unassailable, the
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: stunning secret of Treble, and anger rerrupts. I will take
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: everything upon myself in these episodes. So we're not done
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: with Do Flamingo. It's uh. I really thought I really
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: thought maybe we were finally done with Doe Flamingo. We're
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: not kids, honestly, can we be? I feel like I'm
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: sort of over him now now it's getting excessive. Welcome
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: to spoil Me. Welcome to the show everyone. I am Natasha.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Thank you very much to Michael for commissioning this episode. Yeah, this, guys,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: this was one of those I really really did find
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: interesting the backstory on Dofla Mingo. So when I say
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: that I'm kind of like over this guy, I don't
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: even necessarily mean like the whole character has to go away,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: because I thought that was a compelling story beat that
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: I wasn't expecting. But I am a little bit over
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: everybody fighting him on the roof and then it looking
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: like he's down, and then oh, he's not down, and
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: now we're fighting on the roof more and it looks
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: like he's down, and oh, he's not down, so we're
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: going to fight him on the roof some more. You
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. It just starts to get a
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: bit endless feeling. Maybe if we mixed up the location even,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: maybe that would do something where if we weren't just
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: on this one rooftop, maybe if we went somewhere else
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: it would help. But I just feel like we are
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: frozen here in a way that like the other story
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: beats when we go away learn about Do Flamingo and
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: I am compelled. We then come back and I'm like,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, but we're still just like here still, you
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: know what I mean, Where I had a definite moment
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: of being like this is interesting, and then returning to
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: the President, I'm just like wompomp. So let's talk about
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: the first of these three episodes, a collision of hockey
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Lufy versus Do Flamingo. So this is like a real
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: a good example. I think of times when this show
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: is drawing things out poorly, And my issue here is that,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: like you know, a collision of hockey, this is treated
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: as a very big deal, the two of them both
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: being able to wield hockey by trouble. I should. I should.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Everything that I am talking about regarding like reaction to
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: this is all trouble because obviously it seems like Law
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: knows what Lufi is capable of, and I am not positive,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: but I don't really feel like Do Flamingo is very
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: surprised that Lufy can wield hockey either. I think he
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: knew that. So it's just trouble that seems to be
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: truly like flabbergasted. And it's this sort of fight that
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I start to find rather tiresome because it's just, let's
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: like punch at things and then our fists collide, and
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: then there's this, you know, big moment, and now we're
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: back to just fighting, and then probably we're gonna collide
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: with each other again. It's just lots of punch over,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: dramatic reaction, short monologue from Do Flamingo, and punch again.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: So this overall was like this part of the fight.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: The thing that worked for me the best was the
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: fact that Dove Flamingo is actually able to get himself
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: back up again despite everything that Law thought. It turns
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: out Do Flamingo can use this like thread power to
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: He is careful to say, at least in the dub,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: it's not exactly healing, but that he does stitch together
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: his internal organs so that they will work a little
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: bit longer. I think that this is sort of interesting
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: in terms of whether or not it's how long can
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: he keep going with this kind of borrowed time. That's
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: my big question, because where I'm sitting here, it feels
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: like he can't probably go on for that much longer.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: But this is going to make him all the more
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: desperate for the power that Law has, which is that
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: like a sacrifice yourself and I get to live forever power.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I don't remember if there's like a specific name for that.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: I feel like there was, like the immortality operation or something,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: but that's that's the one thing that I was sort
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: of like. When Do Flamingo gets back up, A big
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: part of me was definitely like, oh Jesus Christ, you
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: gotta be kidding me. But I also when he explains
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: how he's doing it, I found my irritation sort of
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: diminishing because I really enjoy the creative ways that Oda
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: has found to use this weird power. I always like
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: this particular power is one of those that I feel like,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: if you are a person who lacks a certain amount
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: of if your imagination, I guess, is really the main word,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: you could mistakenly think that it's this sort of nothing.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: And oh Seraphim is saying the fact that it's called
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: eternal youth surgery implies it doesn't do anything against physical damage,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: just prevents you from aging. He's needed Manchurie to actually
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: heal himself. I keep forgetting about Manchurie. Yeah, yeah, you're right.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: She's uh really proving to be like kind of an
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: important factor for somebody who got added in so late
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: in the game. But it's fine. But what I was
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: going to mention is this book series that I got
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: commissioned to cover by I believe it was Dan for
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: spoil Me, and it is called mage Errant. I recommend it.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: It's based like somebody decided that after reading Harry Potter
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: that could have been better, and they went and like
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: rewrote it better. Not really really, but it's clear there's
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: a lot of inspiration there and he just went harder
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: on a lot of aspects of it. And the way
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: magic works in that universe is that people get affinities
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: for certain types of matter, and that becomes how they
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: use their magic, either in combat or there are actual
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: literal shit mages in that book series who are really
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: wealthy because they are in charge of all of the
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: plumbing and stuff that happens in the cities, and they're
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: basically indispensable, so they are all fucking rolling in it,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: literally and figuratively. And there is somebody who has a
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: paper affinity and it gets dismissed early in the series,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: like somebody brings up like, oh, you'll probably wind up
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: with a fucking paper affinity, you loser. And I remember
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: like at the time when I first read it, being like,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know, man, a paper affinity seems like it
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: could be real fucking useful, and like probably you could
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: make it pretty dangerous if you wanted to. Also, like
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I was sort of surprised how immediately this person just
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: sort of waved it off. And then later on in
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: the series, one of the most powerful fighters has a
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: paper affinity and uses it in ways that are wild
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: and really interesting. And that is what De Flamingo's thread
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: power reminds me of. It's just the sort of thing
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: that like you could you could kind of get basic
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: with it, and that would also be interesting depending on
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: the context. But the manners in which he has been
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: able to like, it's not it's just the ability itself.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: It's the scale of it that he has been able
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: to manifest that I think is really the thing, because
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: there are a lot of people with a lot of
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: powers out there that I don't think we have necessarily
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: gotten to see do things that like as big as
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: what he's doing. This whole birdcage thing around the entire island.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, let's think back to mister three and his
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: wax power, and I cannot see mister three being able
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: to make a cage out of wax that covers this
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: entire island. I just don't see it. I don't think
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: it would happen. And I don't know if that is
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: something that he could learn to do, if he could
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: grow and expand his ability and eventually get to the
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: point where he could do things on that scale, or
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: if it's the sort of thing that like you got
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: it or you don't got it, and you don't got it,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe that's part of the whole thing with
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: do Flamingo. I want to Saraphim says Oda is great
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: at getting creative with seemingly simple powers, but it's still
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: nothing compared to JoJo's, which I have not seen or read.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: I I really do want to talk about the reveal
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: with Do Flamingo a little bit, though I know that
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of going out of order, But honestly, guys,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: not a whole lot really happens except for that reveal
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: and Do Flamingo coming back to himself, and then we
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: eventually have like the fight with Treble, which is interesting,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: but I feel like it is better to talk about
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: that after the Do Flamingo reveal. Now, I'm not entirely
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: sure how all of this comes to pass. That's the
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: only thing about this storytelling that feels a little bit
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: wonky is that we are getting, uh, We're getting choppy
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: versions of things without a lot of transitional work. So
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: eventually that moment where Do Flamingo and his father and
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: brother are all like strung up on the battlements. We
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: had seen that moment before, but we never got the
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: next moment, which we find out in these is Do
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Flamingo screaming at everybody using hockey unintentionally and getting the
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: entire crowd to pass out and when he's talking to Treble,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: he apparently has told Treuble about this. Now, guys, correct
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong, Sarah, fam I know they're you know,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: often on it when I'm missing points. Do we find
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: out exactly how Trouble finds Do Flamingo. Do we know
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: how he tracks him down specifically, because we just sort
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: of see him talking to Dophie after things have happened,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: and Do Flamingo explaining to him what he did without
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: understanding the significance of what he did, and Trouble being
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: very gleeful because he knows what this means and even
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: posits that there's like additional meaning to it. And it's
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: a kind of a surprising transition to me because it's
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: almost like Trouble was just traveling around and ran into
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: this fucking bloodthirsty kid and was just like, oh nice.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: But I can't tell if it's like of significance how
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: he found him or not. The thing that was interesting
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: to me is that everybody who is part of the
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Do Flamingo family, they are all in on Daphie's behalf,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: even though he is a child from the very start.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Now I'm a little unclear on whether Okay, So Seraphim says,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: I don't recall off the top of my head, the
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: impression I got was Trouble was a small time crime
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: boss in town who heard about Dophie, and that's that's
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: what I thought as well. I just did sort of
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: miss that. We don't see the instant that he is
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: looking for him. Florian says, we don't see it. I
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: always thought Trouble was looking at the execution and then
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Dophie did what he did. Interesting. Okay, so we've got
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: very different interpretations of this. I don't like I said,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know if this is even significant or not,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: but it it the way that Trouble behaves, and I
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: am this is purely inventioned. I acknowledge that, and I
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: am fine with it. But I do want to say
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: you guys that I kind of like this idea for
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: my own reasons of just being into this sort of
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: personality aspect. So there is a point where Trouble is
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: talking to Dophie and is like, Wow, you were able
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: to do that even as a little guy, and there
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: is something really special about you. The fact that you
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: have hockey means that you have been chosen by Heaven
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: and fair enough, Like even when Lufy has used hockey,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: it wasn't he wasn't this young. You know, I can
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: understand meeting somebody as tiny as Do Flamingo who can
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: already do this on this level and being like, uh,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: that is something. I don't know if Do Flamingo's relationship
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: to the celestial Dragons plays into this at all, but
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: I have to imagine that it does. I can't like
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: even though he himself has decided that he is not
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: part of that. Here's so my head canon is Treble
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: is a superstitious guy who has a weird grudging respect
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: for the celestial dragons, and he comes against this kid.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: He already himself has been sort of thinking like we
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: need somebody to help us all band together and seize power,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: and this kid like just rolls into his path, and
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Treble is like, oh my god, he's the one. And
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: there's not necessary like a religious aspect to it or anything,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: but there is a sort of sense for me in
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: this head canon that Treble sees Do Flamingo genuinely as
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: somebody who is like touched by God, the gods, whatever,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: and that there was something in him already looking for
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: meaning in things and so when Dophie shows up, he's
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: just like perfect. This is just all really different than
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: what I was thinking, because I expected Do Flamingo to
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: be like going out into the world alone as a
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: kid and just managing to like become part of a
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: crime group and slowly take it over as he got
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: older and stronger and basically working his way up to
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: being on top. And once he is on top of
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: this you know, crime family, he runs into treuble in
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: some other place after already being established, and that he
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: would be able to appeal to somebody who already has
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: power and who is older because he himself is in
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: place already he is established. And to find out that
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: it's no such thing. Actually, it's we saw you as
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: a kid, and we helped you get where you are
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: because we believed in you from when you were so young.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Is wild. Like it just puts a whole different context
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: on everything. And it's so it's like I I and
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: like I said, I really like it. But it's so
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: funny because the whole thing with like what was toxic
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: about dol Flamingo to begin with was being raised believing
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: that he is better than everybody else as a celestial
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: dragon and then he just falls into the way of
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: some other people who are also teaching him you are
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: just better than everybody else, but for different reasons, like
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: in a different way. And honestly, I really can't help
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: but feel like dol Flamino never stood a chance at
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: being like a normal fucking guy because everybody he meets
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: anywhere is just like sending him this extremely gross messaging
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: about how all other people are just beneath him, and
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: it's so upsetting in a way as a viewer to
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: see him, Like, look, the kid wanted to kill his
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: dad already, Okay, I fully believe this. I do not
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: believe Trouble is responsible for Dol Flamingo's father's death for
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: giving this kid a gun, because Dolpla Mingo was not okay,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: and I think he would have found a way to
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: kill his dad. I think he would have been given
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: a gun made it easier. And I'm not saying Trouble
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: has no responsibility for arming a child, because of course,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: but what I'm saying is the gun just like expedited things,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: and I feel like he would have done it in
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: some way anyhow. That said, finding out that Treble is
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: the one who gave him the gun was also a shock.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: I feel like this really betrays how American I am.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: But I gotta tell you guys that when I saw
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: him getting the gun from Treble, I realized that I
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: had never even questioned where this child got a gun from,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: never even asked, because I just figured you can just
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: get one because that's how guns are. And like I said,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: I feel like that's just uniquely American to have this
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: reaction and not really think about it too much. But
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: maybe not. Maybe other people also didn't question it, so
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: do Flamingo Like Treble, it very much wanted him to
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: kill his dad, wanted him to be isolated from him.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Is really like the impression that I get. There's a
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: a real sort of weird energy to it, because in
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: a lot of storylines, there is this thing with like, yeah,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: you can be part of my crew as long as
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: you prove yourself by killing or screwing over somebody that
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: means something to you. And this is a means of
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: not only you proving that you're willing to go that
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: extra mile, but also doing something unforgivable to a person
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: that cares about you and making you feel so guilty
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: that you don't want to be around them the same way,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: and this isolates you and makes you a better fit,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: oftentimes for a gang, because the point is that you
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: have nobody but each other. And in those scenarios, usually
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: it's this evil crime lord watching this person who hasn't
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: yet started down their dark path, zeroing in on somebody
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: who really means something to that kid, and eventually extending
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: this like offer, and it being really traumatic for the
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: kid who goes through with it, and it is almost funny,
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: how like not the case. This is what this feels
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: like is I know that you want to kill your
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: dad already. I'm going to give you a present and
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: show you how fine with that I am. And in
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: doing that, the one person who is any sort of
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: force for good in your life is got rid of
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: It's just you and your brother children, who I can
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: easily manipulate, and I'll have you all to myself for
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: my weird idea about making you into some sort of
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: like demigod. And it doesn't take anything to get duffe
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Leminget to do it. Just put the gun in his
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: hand and he immediately knows what he wants to do,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: and there's no trauma associated with it for for Corassone,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: there is obviously there's no sense of any guilt coming
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: off of Do Flamingo at all at any point from
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: a child to now. And it's just really funny because
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: this is something that would happen in a different story
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: and have a whole different tone and be a really
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: different objective, and here it feels like, no, no, no,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: this isn't about a kid that was like, could have
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: been a good kid but was on the wrong path.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: This is a story about a kid who was fucked
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: up and psyche though from birth, and somebody else discovered
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: him and was like, oh my god, oh my god,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: look at him. He's perfect, He's still he's fucking fucked up,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: and saygo from birth. This is exactly what I wanted.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: And it's just I just wasn't expecting it. I really
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: thought we were going to see a story about Do
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Flamingo managing to like law his way up because of
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: his ruthlessness and his power, and you know, just this
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: sense of entitlement that sometimes can weirdly trick other people
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: into thinking that you do deserve what you have if
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: you behave as if you do, they believe it also,
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: and instead seeing that it was all very much fostered
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: in him. This instinct that he is better than others,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: that he is meant for more is something that was
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: spotted and nurtured, and we get to see this absolutely
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: wild montage where it's Do Flamingo like having He first
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: gets beaten up by some guy who's fucking with him,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: and one of the other pirates is like, I think
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: it's Demonte's like, hey, which one was it? He points
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: them out guys like are you the one that was
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: fucking with Do Flamingo? Guys like yeah, whatever, I was
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: just teasing him, and this dude shoots him in the
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: head immediately, like it's so abrupt it genuinely shocked me.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: I knew that they were going to fuck this guy up,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: but I thought that it would take a tiny bit
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: more time, that there would be a little bit more
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: toying with him or something. And it's not. It's just like, oh,
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: it's you click done. And then later on he shows
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: up and he has another injury and Dianmonte is like,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: is that somebody else fucking with you? And he says, no,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: it was just that I tripped on a crack in
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: the sidewalk and Deianmante's like show me where it was,
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: what town was it in, and they like take out
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: half the town because of him tripping on this piece
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: of sidewalk. Honestly, it's pretty great, like deeply horrible. But
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: I think it's just that in my heart of hearts,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: there's a part of me that wants to have people
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: this ride or die that is jealous somebody being like,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: you tripped over a thing in the sidewalk, I'm gonna
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: fuck that sidewalk and everybody responsible for that sidewalk right
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: up for you, because fuck all of them. It's not
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: a good impulse. It's not healthy, it's not reasonable. But
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: there is a part of it that I'm just sort
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: of like, that's that must be nice to really feel
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: like these people are like so solidly in your corner.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: It must really feel comforting. And it is interesting because
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: like Trafalgar keeps saying, you're just a clown. You don't
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: matter to him. He's using you to get what he wants.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: All of you are just tools and pawns, and Trouble
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: gets like really upset, and at first I thought it
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: was purely pride or maybe even like the feeling of
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: him getting a little too close to the truth on
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: it or I don't know, you know, but after seeing
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: this flashback and how he's like instrumental to do Flamingo
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: becoming what he is, I kind of get why Trouble
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: got so angry at that insinuation, because it's not like
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: he's just some dude who do Flamingo met eventually on
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: his like journeys and decided to make use of He's
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: the one who discovered Dophie and gave him what he
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: needed to become who he is. And I I can't
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: decide if Trafalgar Law is right or not, because my
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: instinct is to say that he is right because I
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: want that to be true. I want dof Go to
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: not give a fuck about any of these people or
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: anyone but himself, because I want that ease in the story.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: I think, though, that that's not right. I kind of
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: think these people do mean something to him, and that
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: the sort of cavalier attitude that he has had toward
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: whether or not they're going to be okay is really
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: just based in the fact that they have been okay always.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: They've always managed to get through. He hasn't lost anybody
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: in a long time, so I'm starting to wonder if
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: because he may feel that he owes them something. And
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: this is really the question. Does he feel like he
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: owes them something? I just don't know. It could be
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: that he doesn't. He feels that he was entitled to
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: everything and they were just people who gave him what
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: he deserved and it has nothing to you know what
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: I mean. Or it could be that he feels like
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: they are his real family. So I think he cares.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: I think he really sees them as family, and I
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: think that when he says that he didn't want to
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: kill Kora, I do think he means it. Not that
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: he would have made any other choice, because I just
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: think that's a four zone conclusion. But what I mean
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: is just I think it probably broke his heart when
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: he thought Cora was like the last of his family
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: but still truly on his side. To find out that, like,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: not only is he not really on your side, but
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: he's actively working against you with your mortal enemies. Yeah,
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: I could see that being actually quite hurtful, because I'll
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: be honest, the whole monologue that he gives about how
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: oh Cora has betrayed him when they finally face off
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: against one another. At the time, I found kind of
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: boring because I wasn't really believing that Dophie felt any
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: particular way about this. There was a big part of
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: me that thought, he just doesn't give a shit about anybody,
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: and he's not going to give much of a shit
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: about this, And now I'm sort of realizing that. Like,
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: I think the problem with the way that some of
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: this has been set up is I'm not positive if
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: it's like the way that the script originally is written,
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: if it's a translation thing, or if it's the voice actor.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: But I wish that in the moments of that speech
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: to Kora that we got a little bit more genuine
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: emotion coming from him. It doesn't need to be that
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: he's fucking teary eyed or anything, you know, But it
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: just felt like the dialogue was so boilerplate bad guy
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: being betrayed by his brother bad like it just just
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: that sort of standard. I could have this written by
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: Ai kind of energy, and I would have liked a
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: little bit more dimension added to do Flamingo in terms
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: of like his priorities and who and what he cares about,
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: just because we get so much of him in this arc.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: This is all about him, and within the arc, this
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: man does nothing but monologue, and a lot of it
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: has fallen totally flat for me, because it just feels
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: flat when I'm listening to him. He it's so rare
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: to get any sense of since already from him about
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: anything that he is saying. It feels all the time
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: like he is just being sarcastic or mocking or pretending
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: to admire somebody, even as he's like, I'm going to
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: kill you in a second. It all just is a
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: little trite and wrote. And I think I would have
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: liked a flamingo being infused with a bit more genuine humanity.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: Not a lot, obviously, because I don't think he has
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: a lot, but I think that he's been set up
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: as a bit two dimensional and potentially he could have been, like,
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: had a lot more depth. And so I'm not sure
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: where we're going, And eventually maybe I'll be like, oh,
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: there it is, That's what I wanted. I got it
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: after all. But just from where I'm sitting right now,
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: it feels a little bit like I am getting a
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: taste of something that I don't feel was fully delivered
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: on that could have been really really interesting, And it's
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: a bit of a shame. I just would have liked
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: to see it, and I think it would have made
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: the parts of this arc that I have found the
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: most boring, which have tended to involve him a lot
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: of the time, like when he's actually fighting, when he's
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: using his powers, it's a really cool power set. He
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: doesn't he uses it in really creative ways. That isn't
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: the issue, but I find him as a person to
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: have been kind of dull. He just felt like a
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: mustache twirling villain. If we set this stuff up with
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: like the fact that they raised him up themselves earlier
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: on and then gave him a bit more reaction to things,
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: genuine concern for his family members, I think I would
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: have found this so much more compelling from the beginning.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: And this is something that has happened with one piece
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: before they there will be a character who like, there's
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: a big reveal later, and all it feels like is
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: we just wanted to wait to do this big reveal
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: for the sake of that excitement being dropped, when actually,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: if you told me this earlier and developed this more,
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: the whole thing would have paid off in dividends. But
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: you didn't do it because it felt like you would
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: rather go for the shocking surprise rather than like using
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: that to flavor everything going forward. And so yeah, I don't.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: I just I would have liked if we could have
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: done this stuff earlier on. And there's a lot of
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: times where I just I do feel that way. You
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: guys know how I felt about the whole thing with Robin,
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: that like, by the time we get the reveal and
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: what was really going on with her, I was just like,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: we should have fucking known this already, you know. And
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: it's not quite as bad with Do Flamingo. He's not
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: a fucking actual straw hat, you know, So I don't
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: feel the exact same way about it with him, but
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: they're you know, they are not the only two that
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: I have had moments of like, wouldn't it have been
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: cooler if we knew this sooner? So anyway, Florian says
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Dophie was pretty upset when someone made fun of Pica's
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: voice when he first heard it. I would say, he
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: cares in his own fucked up way, And Sarahim says,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: do wonder how much of this is just how it's written.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: Manga to anime adaptation issues and dubbing translation slash acting. Yeah,
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. Is like with a lot of this,
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's the dialogue, if it's the
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: voice actor, you know, the way he's choosing to deliver
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: a line, I don't know. But at the very least,
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: if you know this like backstory for him was known,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: that should have been revealed a lot earlier on, I think,
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: and it would have made things so much more interesting
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: to me, because otherwise I just saw him as a
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: sort of like just a typical entitled brat who got
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: you know, he managed to like become powerful in I
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: thought a very like ordinary traditional way. And finding all
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: of this out recontextualizes a lot of little moments with
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: him that could have been layered if they were done differently,
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: and it makes him also not just a regular old
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: mustache wwhirling villain because the people around him actually genuinely
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: believe in him. And it's different. I knew that they
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: believed in him because I saw the way that they
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: were willing to risk everything for him, like I knew intellectually,
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: but seeing this and the way that they form ranks
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: around and protect him, this is a totally different type
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: of energy than people who are just loyal to their boss.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: This is people, it feels like, who think they have
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: found a kind of Messiah figure. He is so like,
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: so meaningful to them that it's a completely different dynamic
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: than what I was thinking it was. You know. So
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: all this said, I really really really like this story beat.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: But the fact that I like it so much is
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: part of what's so frustrating, because I just think that
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: this could have been done earlier and used better, and
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: we aren't. You know, we're still not done with this arc.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: So it's possible that, like now I'm going to be like, Okay,
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: here we go, We're doing something interesting. But I was
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: bored enough by him earlier on that I think it's
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: kind of a shame. So anyway, this whole backstory, let's
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: talk about what's going on with fucking Trouble. Because I
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: had said before that even if you take Do Flamingo out,
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: Treble is going to be somebody you have to deal with,
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: and I was not looking forward to it because Treble
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: is gross and ugly and has an annoying voice and
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: is gross. And I stand by all of that. Treble's
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: the reveal that this dude is actually real skinny, but
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: that he has been able to avoid Lufy's punches because
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: he is embedded in this big goo body was actually
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: very funny. I really did like that as a reveal,
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: and he like steps into everything, sort of giving Do
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: Flamingo a chance to gather himself back up because law
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: has been laid out again and he is going to
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: execute law in this like extremely gruesome way. He wants
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: Law to open his mouth and is planning to like
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: shove the staff that he is holding into his mouth
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: and like blow him up from the inside, which is
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: some fucking bonker stuff. And eventually, like everybody is on
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: the ground sort of aware that this fight is happening,
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: but nobody is able to really see it, and we
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: briefly with Frankie and the little fairies because like the
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: what do you call it the bird cage is still
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: continuing to contract, and he is looking around at everybody saying, like, guys,
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: I know that you think we're all done, but we've
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: still got work to do and there is still danger
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: and we need to get up off our asses and
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: like get moving here, and eventually we do get Do
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: Flamingo telling Loofy specifically how long it's going to take
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: He basically is like, within fifty minutes, this whole place
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: is just going to be bodies. It's going to be
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: everybody's going to be dead, and is very very gleeful
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: about it. Sarahm uh, that's not how Odo rolls. Backstory
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: is always something that comes in later to answer questions
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: and recontextualize why a character is the way they are
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: once that's been established. Yeah, and I just don't like it, Like,
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: I just think it's it's a mistake. There are sometimes
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: we're doing it that way is interesting, but I think
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: most of the time, knowing why somebody is how they
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: are makes things more interesting in the moment than finding
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: out about it later. Like there are exceptions, but because
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: otherwise De Flamingo feels like so too dimensional. He's a
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: perfect example. He is a boring villain. If you don't
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: know all this other stuff. He's just sort of you know,
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: he's very flamboyant and he's got an interesting power that
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: doesn't really make him interesting, and this does so I
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: just yeah, I just think that like the fact that
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: he does things in that order, I don't think he
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: should be married to that approach. It should be according
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: to the character and how the storytelling shakes out. Sometimes
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: that works, there are plenty of times that I don't
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: think it does at all. Trouble is gross as your
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: most ice cold take ever, easily the most disgusting character
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: in the series. Disgusting. Like you, guys, how long have
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: we been in this arc? How many times have I
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: looked at this man? And I still get grossed out?
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: I still do. It doesn't really like it hasn't lessened
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: the more that I have looked at him. I am
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: not inured to it. So yeah, eventually he is about
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: to execute Law, and it's a really weird moment where
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: Law and forgive me, guys, because I didn't see this
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: before that I can remember. I would have thought if
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: he could do this, that he would have done it
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: in other fights as well. But Law's arm that is well,
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: I guess it's just because is that the arm that
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: was cut off? And so because I'm thinking about it
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: as like he took his own arm off the way
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: that Buggy does. But no, that's the arm that was
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: already cut off, right, I'm not wrong about because it's
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: hard because like lock hand break pieces out of people,
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: he takes people's hearts and whatnot. So is this uh
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: the arm that he is still currently using, or I'm
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: trying to go back into the animation to see the
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: moment when the arm goes up, and it's just so
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: I think it has to be the one that's cut
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: off because his other arm, he isn't holding a sword,
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: so that sword had to have come from somewhere. Yeah,
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: because he's on the when he's on the ground and
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: it's spinning out in front of him, we see his
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: arm and he has his like fingers flexed in order
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: to do this slow trick. So he manages to stab
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: Treble in the gut and then he does sturban blade,
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: which I don't know what that even means, but it
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: causes uh a flame to erupt and reminder that Treble's
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: mucus is flammable, which really isn't fair. Just for the record,
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: I would like to say that the fact that it
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: is flammable just seems like a little bit much. And
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: we go away from him for a sec. But when
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: we come back, we see him standing there in like
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: boxer shorts with all of that goo coming off of him,
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: and he's just got this really big hunch back and
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: huge head. But He's got like a little torso and
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: legs and is standing over Treble absolutely fucking horrified at
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: this whole thing. Meanwhile, and Do Flamingo is trying to
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: be like I tried to fucking tell you, because he did.
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: He is standing there saying to Treble, dude, don't fall
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: for it. He is baiting you. This is a trap.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: And Treble says something like he's on the ground, wrapped
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: up in my mucus. What is he even gonna do?
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: And seems utterly unconcerned. And I don't know if there
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: is a reason why this wouldn't work I was expecting
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: for because Dol Flamingo says something about how he's made
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: a room already. When I hear that somebody with his
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: power has already made a room and I am in it,
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: I really do kind of feel like I've already lost.
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: I was surprised at how much Trouble just waves that off.
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: I thought that what Trafalgar was going to do was
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: basically switch places, and that he was going to have
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: Trouble wrapped up in the mucus so that he gets
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: lit on fire. Now I don't know if that would work,
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: because it's his own mucus, so maybe he won't be
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: burned by it. And I also don't know whether or
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: not his like Shamble's ability works if he's wrapped up
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: in the mucus, you know, it's he isn't a Logia type,
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: which is what Lufi is assuming before when he punches
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: him and we see that it does nothing because it's
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: not his actual body. It's coming out of him, but
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: it isn't him, And so if he were a Logio type,
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: I would be willing to accept that he can't use
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: the shambles power when he is like wrapped up in
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: somebody's body like that, you know, but that's not what
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: it is. So anyway, I just thought it was really
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: surprising the way that Trouble solves this or not Trouble,
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: that Traffy solves this problem, because I figured switching places
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: was really a good means of doing it, and for
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: the fact that he goes with this just a much
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: more intense method of using the uh, the severed arm.
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you want to do it the hard way,
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: I suppose. So this is when Trouble is like, well,
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: there's still enough of my mucus left. I'll see you
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: in hell. And he has like a little flame at
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: the tip of his staff and he puts it down
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: into the mucus, and we see a big flame go
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: up off of the roof of the building, and I
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: was surprised at how much like big the explosion was here.
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: When the camera backs up and we see it from
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: everybody else's point of view, it really does look like
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: the entire building has just gone up in flames. And
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: I know that nobody's going to die from this. That's
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: just not how this series works. But if I were trouble,
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: I feel like i'd be a little bit what's the
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: word I want sheepish, I suppose, because it looks to
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: me like you fucked up your boss too, potentially, And
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: it's weird because he does this. And then we have
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: Violet using her ability to like see through the flames,
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: and she says that Treble has been defeated, which Bro
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: was the one who lit all of this up, and
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: so I'm not totally sure he was standing like, yeah,
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: he got stabbed in the gut, A little stab in
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: the gut. Really, that's it. Everybody in this fucking series
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: manages to get stabbed every which way, and they are
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: still fighting they're still fine. Trouble takes one sword to
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: the gut and then he just lights everything on fire
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: and he's down pathetic, I mean, my god, Trouble honestly.
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: So anyway, we also see Loofy jumping off of the
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: roof and he has got Traffy in his arms and
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: he is leaping towards them. Because again Viole is the
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: one that's sort of narrating all of this, we see
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: that do Flamingo is fine, even though it like, considering
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: the scale of what this fire looked like, it really
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: doesn't feel like dofa Mingo should be fine. But I
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: know he is fine. And this is when Robin says, oh, yeah,
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: that's he's a warlord. That's Trafalgar Law. And as they
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: are sailing through the air, Loofy it's so funny how
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: this like world works in terms of flight and jumps
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: and all of this stuff. He sends down Trafalgar Law
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: ahead of him, somehow tosses him and lets Robin catch
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: him in this net of her arms. So he alone
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: is still like airborne when this next thing happens. But
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: it's just so wild that he can still be up
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: in mid air that doesn't seem like how this should
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: work if Lufi can't fly, but sure whatever, and then
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: you hear do Flamingo yelling and he says to Robin,
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: I don't want you butting in on your our fight.
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: I'm not done with him yet, and Lufy is trying
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: to tell him, like, this is between you and me, dude,
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: you have got to stop it. Leave them the fuck alone,
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: and of course goes like the fuck I will, and
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: he shoots off, like I think, he calls it bullets straying. They're,
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: you know, basically bullets, and Loviy tries to stop him
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: using a hockey kick, but it doesn't connect in time,
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: and so we just end this episode with her looking
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: up towards them with horror in her face as these
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: bullets come shooting toward them, and it's a Cavendish who
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: jumps in and manages to deflect all of these little
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: bullets using a sword. Cavendish being still in the game
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: was surprising. I kind of thought that he was down
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: for the count, and he does say, hey, sorry, I
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: was asleep before, but I'm back, so you know, okay, fine,
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: But it was just funny to me because I really
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: had written this dude off as like, Okay, he did
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: all the shit he was gonna do. He's tired, let
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: him rest, and no, that is not what we are
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: going to do. So this entire like, first of all,
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: I just want to a little bit cheer on Cavendish
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: for yelling at Loofy we're still doing this. Can you
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: fucking get the show on the road, dude, I cannot
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: believe you haven't cleaned up this mess yet. I won't lie.
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: I really did cackle a little bit, you guys. There
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: was just something about how I was starting to personally
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: get impatient with this arc and then him saying that,
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: and I just couldn't help but be a little bit
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: like you took the words out of my mouth, kiddo,
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: just to just drop just a little bit. Not super serious,
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying so. Loofy tells him, I want you
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: to get everybody like all together and get them off
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: the plateau, and cavin Ish just like like fuck, I'm
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: gonna go and fight him. He's standing right there and
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: Lufy basically tells him I am letting you take care
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: of my friends. This is a big deal, and cavin
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: just understands that it is. He stops for a moment
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: and is like, wait a second, he trusts me, and
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: then he says respect popularity. So Strawhat is my fan,
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: a favor from a fan that I can't say no,
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: and all the little sparkles pop up around him. I
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: loved this moment. I literally said out loud, bless him.
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: When we got to this moment, I just like completely inadvertently.
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: It was just so funny. I love the difference between
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: him and Bartolomeo, complete opposites. Bartolomeo is the fan do
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: anything for you because he worships you, and he's the dog.
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: He is a dog, like, oh, this person feeds me
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: and pets me, they must be a god. And Cavendish
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: is a cat. This person feeds me and pets me,
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: I must be a god. I love it. It's just perfect.
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: So anyway, he's like, all right, well, I'm going to
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: handle this, but I need barts of Leomeo's help because
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: we need some stairs to get down, and so he
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: calls out to Barti of Lomeo, who at first is
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: just like, fuck off Cavendish, and then Cavendish is like,
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: Robin needs stairs, dude, and he's like, Robin, why didn't
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: you say so, of course I'll do it then, and
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: he sets up the stairs and even starts to get
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: like a little impatient when they aren't running down the
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: stairs immediately. Meanwhile, Loofy and Do Flamingo are continuing to
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: fight back and forth. It's, like I said earlier, less
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: interesting than a lot of stuff. And then eventually we
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: get the moment where Cavendish refuses to go down the
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: steps leave Law at first, just wants to be like
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: he is only here because of me, this is my fault,
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: and Robin has to say to him, like, dude, Loofy
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: knows what the fuck he's getting into, and he is
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: here because he wants to be here fighting. You don't
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: get to take responsibility for all of this. But Law
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: doesn't want to be carried off and rescued while Lufy
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: is continuing to stay and fight, and Cavendish isn't willing
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: to go and leave Law because he was entrusted with
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: this job, so he is planning to sit down and
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: wait with Law as well, which is a little infuriating
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: because I just feel like you're got you guys are
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: not helping really, I feel like you're just gonna make
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: things more difficult in the end by behaving like this,
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: but okay, fine. Meanwhile the others are making their escape.
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: It seems like those two are the only ones who
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: continue to hang around, and we have a moment within
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: the fight where dol Flamingo is telling Loofy, this whole
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: place would be fine if you hadn't shown up. We
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: were living in peace, and Lufy is just like peace.
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: It was everything was a lie, people were enslaved. What
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: are you even talking about? Like, I really feel like
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: Dofalmingo sort of thought Lufy would forget all that when
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: he said it. It's just the most like fascile argument.
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: So we have more of these like hockey hits that
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: get blocked by more hockey, and these huge explosions that
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: happen as a result of it. And eventually I'm sorry, guys,
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: holding sorry I got this phone call, but okay, it
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: went away, And eventually the episode ends just with the
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: two of them, you know, facing off and who's going
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: to beat who, and honestly, can we just find out
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: who's going to be who and be done with it
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: by now? He even tries to say that, like I
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: would have left you alone, and Lufy's like, you picked
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: a fight with me and my people, so I don't
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: know what the fuck you're talking about. But yeah, so
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: I actually like, despite feeling a bit of a way
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: about the continuation of this fight and how much that
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: part is sort of like white noise to me at
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: this point in the arc, I really did like a
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: lot of these three episodes. So I'm not saying that
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: these were bad. I'm just saying that there were a
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: lot of things about it that I felt could be
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: better and handled better. But overall, I am very into it,
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: and I really I just I want our post fight
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: party with everybody hanging out together. I want that now.
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: That's where I'm at, so looking forward to it. All Right,
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna wrap up. I am over time, but thank
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: you guys again for hanging out with me. I appreciate
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: you a lot, and until next time to lou motherfuckers.
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: That was an Unspoiled Network podcast.
