• 0:02
  Speaker 1: This is an unspoiled network podcast. This is spoil Me,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: covering one piece the live action Netflix series, Season two,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: episode seven, Reindeer Sames. In this episode, I hate all
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: of it pretty much, from top to bottom. I hate it.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: I hate it. Everybody stop making Chopper cry. Please. Welcome
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: to spoil Me. Welcome to the show everyone. I am Natasha.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Thank you very much to Bernadette and to Florian for
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: commissioning this episode. I guess look, everybody knows if you
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: have listened to my original coverage. I don't like Chopper's
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: origin story. I just don't like it. It makes me
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: really sad. I feel like everybody in his history like
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: kind of sucks. And I feel like they've really softened
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: that up a lot in this episode, so that's nice.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: But overall, the thrust of the story is the same,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: and I just I made sure I watched this with
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: my husband right before, like last night, so that it
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: would be fresh and that I wouldn't have to rewatch it,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: because I knew I wasn't gonna watch this one. Twice
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I was just like, yeah, it's not happening. I absolutely
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: fucking know that. Florian says, I was surprised you were
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: looking forward to the next episode last time, you know, Florian,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: If I had really stopped to think about it, I
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: probably would have, like, you know, but I just wanted
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: to see more Chopper, That's all it is. In my head.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: It's just like, well, we're gonna get more of him, yay.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: And I should have like really considered a bit more
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: what all we were gonna get, because, yeah, Bernadette says,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: live action Choppy looks so fluffy and cute. And I'm
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: not even a big Chopper fan. Yeah he is precious.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I you know, this is a very tricky thing to
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: pull off, and I feel like they are really managing it.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I will say that when he turns into like his
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: humanish form, that is the creepiest, most off putting thing.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: And I actually think it looks like pretty close to
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: the anime, so that's accurate. But it's something about seeing
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: it in live action that kind of brings home like, oh,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: that's not right, and so I can't help but be like,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I guess I kind of understand why folks were shooting
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: at him when he looks like that. That is a
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: freaky looking creature. Also, you know, I often will lament
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: in the anime that he doesn't get to fight as
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: much as I wish he could. And now that I
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: see what he looks like when he's in his like
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: more fighting frame of what's the word fighting form, I
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: guess I probably will have less of a problem with
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: the fact that he isn't going to transform its often
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: because I do not care for it. Where's my boy?
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: That thing is not my boy? But yeah, so this
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: this episode is almost entirely Koreha explaining Chopper's origin story
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: to them, which I had kind of also forgotten the
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: fact that Chopper does not relay this story himself, that
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: it's like told on his behalf, which is kind of
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: a weird. Like I understand doing this to like make
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: it so that we because he isn't going to open
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: up at this point, you know, to them, So I
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: do understand it. But later on, when Lufy is like,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: you know, connecting with him about the pirate flag and stuff,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I was like, has Chopper been watching them listen to
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: his life story or like, does he know that Lufy
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: understands what this means to him? Now I could? It
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: was hard for me to quite tell. I'm assuming that
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: he is because it does seem like Chopper has a
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: tendency to just sort of like hover around and hide
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: and eavesdrop, which is fine, but there is something about
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: the fact that he doesn't tell his own story that
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: adds to the sensation of him being like a child,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: which Korea does call him a boy uh and I
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: like that she says it with like a very firm
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: emphasis to be like, that is what he is because
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: he's a person. So y'all can stop with the weird.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: It's an animal and monster and all of this stuff.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: But yeah, so I'm gonna I'm gonna start off. So
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to think exactly where I want to begin.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: If I just want to like really quickly address what
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: all is going on with Zoro and Soangi and Dalton,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I guess I will get that out of the way
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: because they are sort of there. They have a very
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: small part of this episode. We have a flashback in
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: the story that Kurea tells about when doctor Hirolouk goes
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: to the castle and he has the confrontation with Dalton,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: and you get to see Dalton like completely to King
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Woppole's face, be like you ain't shit all y'all suck.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: This is bullshit, But it's the weirdo little dude in
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: that like kind of clown suit off to the side
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: that I had forgotten about. As soon as I saw
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: him in the in the Throne room, I was like,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, because it's it's sort of funny how everybody
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: in the like surrounding Wopole kind of looks like it's
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: a certainly an exaggerated stylized outfit, but there attire feels
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: mostly appropriate. And then there's this dude who I think
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: it's supposed to be giving Jester a little bit, but
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: there's there's nothing about his behavior that is giving Jester.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: It's purely the clothing, and dude is like just looking
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: like he got made into a Jester against his will
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: and never showered, redid his makeup, or slept since the
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: day it happened, and that it's like part of his
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: penance that he simply has to haunt Woppole's side forever
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: as this like weird dude. So there comes a point
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: where Dalton and Usup comes up to see I was
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: about to say Sonji. Usup comes up to Cazorro apologizes
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: for snapping at him, which like fair, I really, look,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: I'm not really that sorry, but I appreciate you wus
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: up for being a bigger person than I would be
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: gives him a beer, which Zorro. I love his reaction
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: because when he says I brought you breakfast, Zoro's look
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: at first is just like ugh, what, And then he
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: sees the beer and he's like oh word and grabs it,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: and then it's like we're square. We're fine. It's cool.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: But later on, Dalton spots a fire burning somewhere. They
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: can see the smoke coming up from it, and they
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: are wondering what the hell is going on because they're
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: sort of waiting for some kind of word or signal
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: from Loofy somehow, which I don't really know how that
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: would even happen, but uh yeah, they are determining that, like,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: we're probably going to start heading up this path later,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: like in this morning. That's the vibe, so I think
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: once Dalton gets jumped, it's pretty early in the day,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: but Dalton goes out to investigate. He Zoro of course
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: offers to come with him, and I wish he had
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: because I feel like Zoro probably could have swung a
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: sword and stopped those friggin arrows and it would have
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: been fine. But Dalton is alone and he gets three
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: arrows in the chest like off center, granted, but like
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: pooh poo poop right down right down the side, and
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: it's the fucking I don't really know what you would
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: call the other dude, what his like. I'm sure he
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: has an actual name, but I'm thinking about like the
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: role he plays. Is he an advisor? We don't really
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: actually see him talking to Wopole. He just sort of
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: stands there, like is he a guard? He's dressed very
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: fancy for a guard. That's the only thing that kind
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: of trips me up is like he has a very
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: ornate case that is much more decorative than functional. So
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: I'm it sort of feels like he must be another noble,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: but I don't know why he'd be standing there like that. Regardless,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: this guy is with the Jester and they are very
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: happy to have caught this prey because Dalton was supposed
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: to have been arrested and executed and whatnot, but he
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: got away because all of Walpole's people apparently just are
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: not very good at this. Uh they will. Dalton's special.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: He's a special guy. So oh, I'm so sorry. Florian
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: just says he is in charge of HR. I don't
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: know why that's so funny, but that's very good. So
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Dalton is in danger by the end of this episode.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure him getting like ripped up is almost
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: the last scene in the whole thing, and I was
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: just like, God, what a fucking bummer. This episode was
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: from start to finish. Man, you know, it's just yucks.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: So all right, now we will back up and we
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: will talk about the uh the story. So Sony and
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Loofy are in the kitchen together and they are theorizing
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: on what this little furry creature could be and Lufy
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: is swearing like I heard it talk. I don't think
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: it's just an animal, and Sonji decides to be like, well,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: if it's just an animal, then maybe we should cook
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: it and eat it. And it was very funny to
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: me because Loofy goes, that's a great idea and is
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: like playing along, and it's very clear from the way
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: he says it that he's playing along, and I was thinking, wow,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Lufy picked up on that this is a joke, And
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: as soon as I think that, my husband goes, I
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: don't think that Lufy should be smart enough to get
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: what it is that Sanji is doing right now. I
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: don't think he would think it was a joke, and
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: I was just internally just like ooh, both of us
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: are wondering about that. It's a I can't recall if
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: this is anything that happens in the anime and how
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: it goes. But I did just want to like address
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: the fact that both he and I were sort of like, huh, okay, well,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not mad at it, but it was
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: something that I thought and then he said aloud, so
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: I did want to mention it. And eventually they stumble
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: across the trunk full of stuff. Lufy finds the pirate
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: flag inside, which needless to say, captures his fancy, and
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: he starts to pull it out and look at it,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: and Chopper gets very irate and immediately is like, put
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: that down, what are you doing? And Lufy is like, ah,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: I knew you could talk, and is very gratified, but also,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: you know, this isn't like it's not making their relationship better.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: What Lufy really wants is to get Chopper to like
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: come out of his shell and talk to him, because
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: if there's one thing that Lufy is, it's curious about people,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So anyway, he uh Chopper
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: is very reticent, understandably from the way that he has
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: been treated to like let them see him or have
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: like any real interaction with them. So this moment of
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: just you know, don't mess with that. He just walks
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: away after that, and Lufy is super excited that he
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: can talk and just smiles, bites this carrot, and then
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: we smash cut to everybody having this incredible chicken soup
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: that Sanjy made I love. Nami says, this is like
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: the best meal I've ever had. It's because you have
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: any inn in like four days, girl, Like that is why,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: no shade. I'm sure the soup is insanely good, but
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: just like you know, that is what is going Look, guys,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: chain soup is one of those things that I feel
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: like people sleep on how really truly fucking amazing it
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: can be. It's just you know, a lot of folks
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: think of it as just like a basic thing, and
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: it can be, and that's fine too, But like if
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: you get like a rotisserie chicken from somewhere, to make
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: it a little easier on yourself, it's pre roasted strip
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: the meat off it, boil the bones for a few
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: hours for your stock, cut the meat up, and then
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: saute some onion and carrot and celery in some butter
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: until just a little bit of browning. Not a lot,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: but I like a little bit. And it adds something.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: And then you pour the stock in there and start
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: to bring it up and potato and whatnot. And I
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: remember I made this one for my mom using this method,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: and she came home she was like, chicken soup, Oh okay,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: And she took a sip off her spoon and she
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: just went, oh my god. And I was like, that
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: is correct. I did not learn to make soup for
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: my mom. She makes a decent one. But like the
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: fucking key is, the chicken should be roasted first. Do
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: not use raw chicken for chicken soup. It is not
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: the same. It's just fucking not the same. That is
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: my tip for me to you today. So this is
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: also me avoiding talking about Chopper's dire fucking history. So
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: we see here a look with his incredible hair. I
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: really am trying to figure out if this is one
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: wig that they have managed to split into these like
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: four sections, or if it's four separate hair pieces that
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: have to be affixed separately. I think it probably is
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: one piece. God, as I'm saying it, I'm just like,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: what are you doing? I think it probably is one wig.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: But it is of great interest to me with some
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: of these costumes how they're built, because like, this is
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: originally what I started going to school for, you know,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: I am really interested in not just what costumes look like,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: but how they are made so that you can get
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: them like certain things. If you were really wearing a
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: piece of clothing that actually looked like that, there would
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: be like weird fascinatings in strange places. And but these
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: clothes don't have that look to them, which means all
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: of that's concealed. And I'm so curious, Like, I would
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: love it if they would make a like making of
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: miniseries about One Piece with just like all of the
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: costumes and sets. I would watch the shit out of
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: something like that. That's like the extra features on Lord
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: of the Rings. I watch all of those. It's hours
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: of stuff, and I don't care. I'm totally into it.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: So let's see. Bernadette says in the original Lufy is
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: dead set on chasing Chopper as emergency rations Okay, that's
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: what it is. I remember being mad at the way
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: that Lufy was behaving with Chopper, so that totally makes sense.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: This is why in the anime, Lufy misses Chopper story
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: because he's chasing him through the castle. Oh he's not
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: there for the story. Ah right. Nehua says it is
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: one piece from behind the scenes. Appreciates you Nehua for
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: the investigation. Also, I would like to point out I'm
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: not the only one who said one piece about this wig,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: so you know, don't don't yell at me, Bernadette. I'm
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: so mad at the costume designs. How dare they be
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: so crazy accurate and amazing. Now I'm even more frustrated
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: with other properties. This is the thing when somebody does
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: shit really right, you just want to be like, it
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: can be done. See all of you who fucked off
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: and like, yeah, completely agree. Florian says they have some
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: VIDs on it, but just like ten minutes long. Yeah,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: I like a series. I am not kidding. Do a
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: whole hour on just the sets from season one only,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: and I would watch, you know, two separate hours, one
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: for first season, one for second season, because we've gotten
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: totally different sets. I want to see everything. I want
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: to see how it was conceived, what the inspo from
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: the anime was, and how they came up with, like,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: because there's things in this like the the you know,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: the vanishing point when you are figuring out the sort
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: of perspective that you have to use to make something
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: look bigger or smaller than it really is, and also
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: to give it that very exaggerated anime quality. It's not
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: as easy as it can look, you know. And also
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: I would love to see just like the like what
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: CG and what isn't That's the other question that I
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: have is like I know how much that we have
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: to fill in with CG these days, but like we
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: also know a lot more on this show seems to
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: be done with practicals if they can, and I'm interested
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: in that, Like what's the you know, Bernadette said, I
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: was about to say that the extra figures features and
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Lord of the Rings. Yeah, I got an internship with
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: what a workshop actually when I was going to school
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: for this stuff, which is the workshop that handled Lord
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: of the Rings, And I remember just losing my mind.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: I was so excited, and then like there came a
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: point where I realized, oh but This is not what
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: I want to do with the rest of my life.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: This is a thankless, grueling job, and you are fully
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: expected to work at least eighty hours a week. It's
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: just the lifestyle of folks in that industry is simply
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: not something I'm interested in. It's Bernadette, one hour or two,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: give me like sixteen. I need at least three hours
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: on Zoro and Miehawk alone, Bernadette, I think you need
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: three hours on them doing something very different, and we're
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: just not going to talk about it. Florian says. It
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: really feels like we try not to talk about Chopper,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: and I understand Florian saying it. Out Look, I just
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: don't like it at all. Okay, here a look, here,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: a look so here a look in the anime is
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: a shit. I am supposed to like him and find
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: him like a like frustrating but a little charming, I think,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: and I don't. He is deeply irresponsible, fucks around with
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: people's health, doing experimental shit that is well intentioned, and
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: so I'm supposed to just like kind of not look
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: at the fact that he's poisoning people and ruining their lives.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Turns a person into a frog, like she just talks
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: about that. Here, we don't see the scene which I
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: remember in the anime we actually watch happen, because if
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: we watch it happen the way it does in the anime,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: we're not gonna like him. They know he doesn't work
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: well as a character anymore, And so we have this
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: thing where we're hearing about him being kind of like
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: a quack, but we don't watch the damage that he does.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: And I think that's the best we can do if
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: we're gonna stick with the character being the way he is,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: distancing ourselves from the results of what he does is
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: probably the most honest and true to character without making
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: me despise him the way that I did. I also
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: just have an issue you with like the fact that
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: any time that somebody intends for a certain thing to be,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: you know, there, I'm meant to like forgive all of
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: the damage that they did. I don't like that kind
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: of vibe in a character or in the way a
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: story is told. If it's clear like I'm being pushed
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: to sort of forgive a person, I don't enjoy that.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: And Hero look just never really feels like he takes
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: responsibility for the mistakes that he has made. He just
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: waves things off as like, well, that's the price one
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: pays for progress and discoveries in science, and I'm just like,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: you're not paying the price, though other people are like
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: that's you know, which I understand in reality is how
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: medicine can work. But there is a system to it,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: and he doesn't have that education, which makes the fact
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: that doctor Rene is so irritated with him and doesn't
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: have patience with him a lot more were like respect
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: respectable to me. In the uh anime, I understood her
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: not liking him because I didn't either, but there there
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: was like there's something about seeing her in action here
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: where I'm just sort of going, yeah, this is all
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: grounded a little bit more in what's actually happening and
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: is less simply like, oh, her character is harsh and
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: so we're gonna have her, you know. So hare Look,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: the first time we see him is running from some
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: guards because all of the doctors are being rounded up,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: and eventually it's unclear what exactly happens to make here
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: a look think that all of the doctors are sick.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: I don't remember where it comes from, because like the
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: way that doctor and Korea is telling us the story
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: is making it very much sound like the king wants
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: all the doctors to wait on him like he is.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: It's interesting because in the scene where he is at
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: that summit, he talks about how if the people don't
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: appreciate my gifts, I'll just take them back. And so
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: there had been a moment where I was like, I
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: can't remember exactly why he's doing this. Is it because
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: he is trying to deprive his people of medical care
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: on purpose? But once we see him in the throne room,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: it's a little unclear because like, all these doctors are here,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: and I was like, okay, so he is ill and
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: trying to but then he says like, there's nothing wrong
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: with me. I'm fit as a fiddle. So I don't
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: get exactly why he wants them all or what it is.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: It's Florian says it is a rumor started by Walpole
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: that they are sick to lure other doctors. Okay, but
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: doctor Rene has simply not fallen for the rumor. Is
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: that correct? Uh? He used the doctor so that people
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: have to beg him to get help. Oh, so he's
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: not like refusing people treatment. He's like the middle man.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: He's the insurance company basically okay, okay, all making sense,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: So God, there is just too much of this that's
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: like on point. I hate it so uh. As he
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: and Kreja are hiding under the same bridge, they hear shots.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: He thinks that it's the guards and they turn and
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: look and it is a creature of some kind running
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: into the forest. Now he takes off because he thinks
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: the guards are coming, but stumbles accidentally across these like
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: bloody footprints until he evently finds a small Chopper who
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: has like you know, dropped down to his regular size
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: her like hunched against this tree bloody and it is
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: awful and I hated it, and he tries to help.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: At first, Chopper is not having it, and then he
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: uh manages to convince Chopper like, look, I'm just trying
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: to help. And we have Chopper waking up in his
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: little hut with a fire and medical care and I
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: love him like talking to Chopper, and Chopper replies and
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: then goes shit. Chopper swears a couple times in this episode,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: which is delightful. For the record, I am fully on board. Absolutely.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: I feel like Chopper wouldn't say fuck but shit. Yeah,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: fair totally fair game. So we have like this lovely
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: bit where Chopper has found someplace to stay. I don't
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: even like to like, I don't even want to do this, guys,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: because what happened. So he has found some place to stay,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: and he is so rosy cheeked and bright eyed, and
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: there's a tear like running down after he has given
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: care here and given a name. I forgot that hero
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: look is the one who names him. And we have
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: a bit of a sequence of Chopper learning all kinds
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: of like I want to say, medical knowledge, but it's
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: not really like it's just a bunch of bullshit that
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: eventually we have to have Corey has step in and
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: give him real training. It's reminding me of like a
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: weirdo prepper who lives in a trailer in the woods,
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: stumbles across an abandoned child and tells this child that
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: he needs to wear this hat lined with lead to
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: keep them from taking his brain waves, not to go
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: outside when there's like contrails in the air, and don't
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: drink fluoridated water. Like there's just something to this that's
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: all very I'm so glad that you have a safe
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: place to be and somebody who is watching out for you,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: but the ways in which they are watching out for
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: you are also a problem of their own, you know
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So sorry, Florian says doctorne and here
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: look are free healthcare that Walpole wants to stop. Here
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: looks actor's name is Mark Harrolic. By the way, I
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: my husband looked that up and was like, oh, that
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: is so weird. But yeah, so it's like they grow
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: quite close, and eventually he explains to Chopper about there
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: was a guy who was really ill and he saw
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: all of these doctors and he had an incurable disease,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: and then one day he saw the most beautiful sight
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: and when he saw a doctor the next time, they
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: told him that he was cured. And the beautiful sight,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: the emotion that was generated from that is what cured him.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: So it was the cherry blossoms, which we still haven't
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: had the thing of course where that whole thing happens.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: But you know, this is just again I hate this plotline.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: This is a guy telling Chopper a story about how
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: anything is possible, using the most nonsense example being a liar,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: by the way, in the midst of it, by not
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: admitting that this was him, that this all happened to
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: in the first place. So I don't like that. And
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: the idea that like maybe this one doctor that said
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: you were cured was full of shit is not even
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: occurring to him. It's simply like, oh, yeah, I saw
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: something so beautiful that it cured my cancer. What it
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: is just it is simply nonsense from start to finish.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: And so it makes the fact that like Chopper is
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: inspired to find the cure to everything, it undermines him
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: as a character for me in a way that I
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: don't want to happen because I love him, but it
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: feels like he has just been fed a bill of
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: goods by an anti vaxer and is like deciding to
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: make his entire life about that in a way, you
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like it just I don't like
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: any of it. So he shows him like the pirate
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: flag with the cherry blossoms on it, and YadA, YadA, YadA,
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: and he you know, it's this is all like representative
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: of the fact that anything is possible. And eventually we
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: have the horrible scene where Chopper is healed and he
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: kicks him out, and this is again, why did you
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: kick him out? Because the horrible shock of watching me
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: die would have been too much for him. Oh, it's
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: a much less horrible shock to have your friend and
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: guardian who you thought cared about you turn you out
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: with no warning and let you think it's your fault
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: and that you did something wrong, so that you wonder
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: why they don't want you after having been rejected by
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: all of the humans in town, by your own herd
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: because you have a blue nose. It's it's so much
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: better for him to be rejected again by you and
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: made to feel utterly worthless again. Great call, you fucking asshole,
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: you imbecile. Like the idea that this guy means well
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: is inscene to me. This is just such It's so
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: poorly reasoned. I hate it. I the scene where Chopper
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: is banging on the door saying, what did I do?
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: I sir, you are I hope in hell? You deserve
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: to be in hell for this. This is so disgusting.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: I hate him, I hate him, I just fucking hate him.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: So eventually we have doctor Ring coming to see him,
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: and she just says, you're a goner, no bedside man
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: or whatsoever. And he doesn't deserve it, so I'm not man,
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: and he falls to his knees, talking about won't you
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: look up the like, continue my research and take care
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: of Chopper, And she's like, why would I do that?
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: You're trying to play on my sympathy because you're dying
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: and I'm not falling for it. I don't want to
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: do any of this. Your research is garbage. Chopper is
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: a pet who you, by the way, kicked out, so
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: caring for him, why are you trying to pretend you
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: give a shit like And Chopper, who is watching all
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: of this through a hole in the roof overhears him
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: talking about how everybody is so desperate for a cure
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: because they don't have doctors available to them anymore, that
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: they are going into the death valley and looking for
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: this like mythical mushroom that is supposed to be able
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: to cure anything. And Horeha is just like talking about
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: everybody's a sucker, you know. But he says, you need
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: to be kinder because folks have lost hope and they're
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: just like trying to hold on to something that might
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: be able to help them. What the fuck else are
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: they supposed to do? And Chopper decides, all right, I
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: know what I can do I'm going to go and
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: find this mushroom. And so we have a sequence of
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: Hero look feverishly working for the few days that he
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: has left, trying to make something, which eventually he does
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: manage to like get a reaction and it's this like
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: sparkly pink liquid and he starts calling for Chopper and
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: then is like all sad when Chopper's not there, and
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: I'm just like, no, you don't get to be sad.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: You don't get to be sad Chopper's not there, dude,
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: what are you fucking Are you kidding me? And then
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Chopper opens the door and comes in covered in blood
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: and cuts don't know what he went through, but he
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: found a mushroom, which he is assuming is the mushroom,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: and I just don't like that I have to watch
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: Chopper sobbing crying more than once in this episode, and
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: I have to see him horribly injured more than once
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: in this episode. So he comes in and he's like,
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: I found the mushroom, and here a luck is like
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: I could tell you that this mushroom is poison and
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: that you did all of this for nothing, and that
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: I am going to die anyway, which is tough to
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: hear but also factually correct. Or I could pretend that
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: you found a cure and drink it and let you
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: think that you cured me and then go off, knowing
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: you will eventually figure out that this is poisonous and
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: live the rest of your life feeling like you hastened
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: my death. There's no way that he doesn't think that Chopper,
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: like he has to know Chopper will figure it out.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: So he puts on a big show on how he's
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: feeling so much better that mushroom tasted terrible, but that's
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: how you know it's medicine, and packs up a bunch
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: of stuff and heads to the castle, saying that he
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: is going to help those sick physicians, and he has
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: packed a bunch of explosive to get him inside if
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: he needs it, which Chopper just sort of doesn't know
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: what to make of this, which I really understand. And
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: later on Corey had comes in and is like have
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: you seen him? And Chopper's like, he went to the
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: castle to help the sick doctors, and she's like what,
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: and he's like yeah, and she's like he's sick, what
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: is he? And then Chopper says, it's fine, I cured
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: him with the mushroom and she says, what mushrooms show me,
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: and we get the whole reveal of the fact that
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: this mushroom in this book has the skull and crossbones
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: next to it, and that means that anything is possible,
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: and it doesn't like Corey does not soften this at all.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: She just screams, you idiot. That means it's lethal. He
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: drank poison. He's gonna die within like an hour. And
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: so we have another sequence of Chopper crying and sobbing
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: and saying no, no, no, and uh, I kind of
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: skipped over the bit where he's like Heroics says something
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: about pirates and Choppers like, what's a pirate? So we
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: have them like on the shore talking about what a
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: pirate is. But we go to hero Luck who has
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: come to the castle and it's a kind of an
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: interesting scene because, like the rumor that has been circulating
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: about how all the doctors are sick, you know, he
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: has fully fallen for this and as they're bringing him in,
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: they're saying, like, the rogue doctor is here, so it's
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: clear they have been looking for him specifically. But he
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: also has explosives, which he claimed. We're like to get
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: him here. But a part of me is like, what
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: was he thinking that, like, I can cure these doctors
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: and then I can blow the rest of the place up.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: I guess he says that they were to help him
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: get in, which maybe maybe I don't know. Man, well whatever,
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: So it is revealed that none of the doctors are sick,
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: and this is what confused me, the fact that this
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: is like Woppole has circulated this rumor. Wopole seems really
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: confused at the fact that this guy thinks the doctors
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: are sick. He's like looking at him, like, what the
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: fuck are you talking about? And it's like, as you
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: can see, nobody here is sick. So it almost feels
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: like Wohpole, maybe it's supposed to be that, like one
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: of his people made up the rumor and Wopole doesn't
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: realize that that's what like the method that they have
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: been using. I think that's part of what was confusing
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: to me. And I correct me if I'm right, If
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: correct me, if I'm right, My God, correct me if
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: I'm wrong. I have a vague memory of in the
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: anime there almost being an implication that these doctors were
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: like willingly staying here like that there was almost an
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: implication like their ethics were not pure and that they
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: were compromised somehow, not that this was like against their will.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: But I don't remember where I'm getting that from. I
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: just feel like I thought I could recall a moment
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: of hero look realizing like, oh, you guys suck too,
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: like you know, but I might be smooshing together some
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: other storylines I don't know, but uh so here look.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: I love when he finds out that like they're not sick.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: He just says, oh, thank god, it was just a trick,
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: which is honestly a great line of being like, I'd
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: rather be tricked than for every doctor to be sick.
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: That's better, So you know. Florian says, I had to
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: pause for like an hour after that scene before I
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: could keep watching. Yeah, it's awful of Chopper being kicked
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: out and then Florax. Florian says hero Luck is a
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: foster dad for kittens with the right heart, but not
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: capable to handle it. Bernadette says Heroic is a tough
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: case because he's clearly idealistic but also dumbest shit, which
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: is why he chooses the wrong option on how to
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: treat Chopper every time. Florian says, I think they were
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: man handled into this in the anime as well. Okay, yeah,
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: it's it's it's a just the sort of thing that like,
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: I don't I cannot respect or like a character that
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: is incapable and doesn't realize that they are incapable, doesn't
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: have any self awareness surrounding that, and so they keep
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: trying to push their wish on others, which is as
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: a doctor who doesn't know what he's doing is what
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: he would be doing, you know, like it's him refusing
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: to face facts, and so he's the foil to Koreija,
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: who is all facts all the time. Now, Koreja can
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: certainly feel really brutal and abrasive, but any time I
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: would rather deal with her fucking anytime. And I just like,
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: there's no logic to this man whatsoever. So once he
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: realizes that he has been tricked, there's a little bit
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: of back and forth here where Wapole instructs Dalton to
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: shoot this guy, and Dalton lifts his gun but clearly
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: doesn't want to do it, and then hero Loic makes
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: a speech about how a man is only dead once
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: he is forgotten, and it's like, honestly not great. It's
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: the sort of speech that I feel like sounds like
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: something until you think about it, and it's I understand
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: the theory of that, and that is the reason for
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: like a friendas and stuff, like the whole plot of
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, what was the name of the movie. Guys,
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: there's a movie, a Pixar movie based on da did
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: those smartphos And it's like, so emotional, guy, it's so
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: good Coco, right, Coco? I feel like, yes, now who
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: I says? Okay? So like the idea of like you're
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: not actually gone until nobody remembers you. I actually like
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: that as an idea. But this dude is so full
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: of shit on every level that I cannot take any
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: big moment of his seriously because I hate him so
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: much for everything that he has done. At Chopper bro
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: almost died in the fucking Valley of Death for your
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: worthless ass after you kicked him out, and then you
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: had the nerve to try and get kure, had to
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: take care of him. What are you doing. You're not
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: taking care of him. You kicked him out? Are you serious? Ugh? Anyway,
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: So this whole speech, it's meant to be this moment
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: of like talking about how there can still be hope left,
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: which gets through to Dalton, who is very emotional, and
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: he's like, what about for a kingdom? Could that be
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: true of the king of a kingdom as well? And
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: I just really want to be like Dalton, don't listen
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: to this, don't fall for this. But Dalton needs hope.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: You know, he's in the same boat as many of
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: the other people like that are down in town, which
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: she eventually goes to. But uh, yeah, he is looking
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: for anything. And that is the danger with folks like
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: hero Look is when people don't have anywhere else to
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: turn and they need somebody to tell them it's all
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: going to be okay. You can find someone, and I
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: like they can mean well, they can, they can have
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: good intentions, and they can actually believe in what they're selling.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: They don't have to be a real con artist. They
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: can just be misguided. And I would argue misguided is
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: so much more dangerous, and I just don't want to
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: see this happening too. It's almost like having compared Woppole
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: to Trump already and comparing hero Look to like anti vaxers.
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: It feels like that of like, I need to seize
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: any element of my life that I can pretend I
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: have control over, and you kind of obsess over this.
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: So yeah, now I'm an anti vaxer too, and uh
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: anti woke and you know whatever. So he eventually uses
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: a couple of these explosives to blow himself up, but
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: before he does, he says to Dalton, a monster is coming,
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: Please don't hurt him. He's my son. Blows himself up.
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: Woppole is not off enough at Dalton at this point.
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: If Dalton had just shot him the way he was
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: told to do more than once, this dude could not
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: have blown the place to bits and caused the trouble
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: that he does, so, Honestly, the fact that Woppol doesn't
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: immediately hold Dalton in contempt is kind of surprising. He's like,
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: go and find the monster and kill it, And I'm
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: just like, you relying on this guy to do that
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: as stupid. You're dumb, Woppole. He's not gonna do it.
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: You just saw how he doesn't care about your orders.
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: But I also, of course want Dalton to be the
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: one to go down there and handle it, because I
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: know he won't hurt Chopper, so I don't want Chopper hurt,
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: so he goes downstairs and Chopper is just coming in
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: and transforms into his creepy human faced form and he
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: tries to get past Dalton and he can't it, and
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: Dalton says, if you can't even beat me, you have
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: no chance against all the other dudes in there. And
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: Chopper has just seen Herolok's like top hat flutter down,
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: so he knows Heroic is dead, and Dalton says to him, like,
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: you know, he calls that he calls hero Louck Chopper's father,
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: and is like, go back your father, That's what your
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: father would have wanted. And I don't know if it's
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: like clear when he says that that hero Louk called
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: Chopper his son or what, but uh, it seems like
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: Chopper is interpreting it, Like the look on his face
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: is that he understands that if he is calling him that,
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: then that must be you know, there must have been
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: some conversation. And so Chopper does desist, but he is
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: just like grief stricken of course, because he thought he
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: had cured this guy and that he was going to
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: be able to keep living with him and learn how
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: to do medicine from him and that he had found
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: something that could cure anything, and so everybody was going
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: to be saved. Like he was riding this enormous high
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: because Heroic wouldn't tell him the truth, and then once
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: again just fucking abandons him and leaves him to fend
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: entirely for himself with like the horrible realizations of what
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: was really going on. And I will never forgive this guy,
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: and I hate him, and I never want to hear
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: his name again. Any time he comes up, I just
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: get angry. There's been precious little of it, so that's good.
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: But you know, in the anime, every now and then
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: we'll have a moment of like Chopper thinking back to him,
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: and I just want to be like, oh, Chopper, no, baby,
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: you deserve so much better than everybody you were like
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: raised by. Essentially, you know. Florian says, I think it
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: has been said at the time while covering the anime
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: about here looks Wonder. It's more meant to be metaphorical,
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: even though it's quite literally portrayed healing one's soul. Some
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: people will also think about this as a mental health thing.
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: It was never really clear to me Wonder equals medicine.
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: That's the thing is that it is one thing for
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: it to be a metaphorical thing if we're actually going
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: to like do that, but we're not. It's all literal,
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: and so it just is like you can incorporate the
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: importance of caring for one in more ways than just
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: the physical into medical practice without it being this complete horseshit,
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: without it being I had a faith healer tell me
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: I was cured, because like you had one guy tell
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: you were cured, and apparently just like believed him, which
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: why why no second opinion after just seeing It's just
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: I get what we're trying to do. That's what's so
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: annoying about it. I get what we're what we're trying
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: to do, but it's not even true in the show.
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: The implication to me is that hero Luck dies because
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: he is still sick with whatever it was that he
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: had and the person was full of shit who told
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: him that he was cured. So this whole thing with
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: like wonder equals medicine isn't even true in the show.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: And he's selling it as like an absolute to Chopper
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: because he's lying to Chopper about being well, like he
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: won't you know, it's all him completely in denial in
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: himself and hiding the truth from Chopper in order to
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: force this thing to be real, which it's never actually
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: even real in the show at all, you know, Bernadette says,
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: he no, I know, he actually dies from something else.
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: The thing that was cured was a heart problem, Okay,
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: is it? I don't know, man Like for me, that's
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: the subtext, but I don't remember, like honestly how specific
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: they get in the anime. Florien says, I always wondered,
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: is his sickness he has here the same that he
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: had before. It's never clearly stated, not the manga or
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: anywhere as far as I know. And then Florian is
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: responding to Bernadette, was that said, I think it's always
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: just quote a sickness, Nehua says, I'm not sure it's
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: specified at all. So yeah, that's like I really my
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: takeaway has been that he was lied to and he
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: is now dying from the thing he was told was cured,
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: and it you know, somebody just like even if he
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: like bought himself some time through a wonderful moment of beauty,
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: that's not nothing, but it's still not what he is
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: trying to tell Chopper happened, and it look I am.
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: I think, when it just comes down to it, there
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: are a lot of things in this universe that are
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: exaggerated and over the top, and I understand that I
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: can't be literal about a lot of it, But this show,
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: when it comes to like medicine, it's sort of all
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: over the place. We have, you know, people who have
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: these horrible injuries that are like totally healed up quite
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: quickly a lot of the time in the anime, but
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: then we'll have illnesses that folks can't recover from. We
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: Havenami with an actual IV and you know, she needs
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: to take antibiotics and get bed rests, which is a
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: very like real thing. And so it's like sort of
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: inconsistent enough that I tend to hand wave anything that
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: is like a physical injury as being like, Okay, well
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: we're gonna let that be like fixed, and anything that
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: is some sort of internal illness I take more seriously
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: as the show seems to be like if somebody has
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: a disease of some kind, that's going to be a
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: really different situation. And so I'm just like unwilling to
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: believe that he's right that this fucking these these flower pedals.
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: Seeing them was so beautiful that it cured him. I
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: just I just don't feel that makes sense, even in
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: this world where crazy stuff is true all the time.
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: It's just so it's just, you know, and maybe I'm
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: just wrong about that, And maybe it's as simple as that.
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's like, I hate Heiro Looks so much for
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: the way that he treats Chopper that I am not
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: willing to give him the benefit of the doubt on anything,
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: which it could just be that kind of bitch eating
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: cracker situation. It may be that simple. If so, I
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: don't apologize, he sucks enough that I think he deserves
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: all of the skepticism I'm giving him. You know, Sorry,
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: Florian says. Bernadette is our in house biologist, so I
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: trust also her word. If it was said, yeah, well
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: that is what it took out Roger in a way
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: about the diseases and sickness. Oh yes, right, because he
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: basically lets himself get caught and executed is the implication
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: that we find out eventually, So Bernadette is I am
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: currently rechecking. I just love that I have got you
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: guys over here as my little It's like being Jon
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: Stewart on the Daily Show with his little earpiece going
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: what's that? Oh, I'm hearing that such and such, like
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: I love it. I've got y'all on the job. Appreciate you.
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: So when Chopper goes back to the Hut, he comes
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: across doctor Rene looking at a bunch of the research
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: and picking up a vial of like the pink powder
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: and going interesting, like maybe he had been onto something
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: of some kind. And Chopper comes in and demands that
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: she teach him everything she knows, to which she goes,
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: why would I do that? Which is extremely funny to
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: me her, just like because the expectation in a scene
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: like this, especially when it's a woman character, because we
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: always expect a woman to be a caretaker, you know,
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: is to just be like, oh, of course, I'll teach
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: you everything. And I just love her being like I
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: have shit to do. I don't have time for a
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: fucking med student right now. And eventually Chopper convinces her,
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: and you know, the rest is history. He comes to
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: stay with her and she has been teaching him as
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: much as she can, and you know, he's picking it up.
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: As we saw, he is still in his infancy. I
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: hate saying that because he's so little, but you know
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: what I mean. But still, Bernadette says it might have
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: been because of the translation I read. Florian says, I
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: think that might be in the German version. The heart
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: thing is ringing about in the back of my head. Interesting.
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: That's sort of compelling to me, the idea that like
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: a different translation is going to have it the implication
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: will be very different as well. I'm sure that people
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: translating didn't realize how that changes things in this way.
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: But yeah, very very interesting. Okay, So when we come
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: back to the present and Korea has finished her soup,
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: asked Sanji if he wants to live in this giant
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: castle with her as his personal chef. As her personal chef,
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: I love Soanji's like, you know what, I'm good. His
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: face is so funny. I also, anytime that we come
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: back from this story, Sanji's the one that's like got
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: tears in his eyes. You know, it's not that everybody
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: else isn't affected by it, but he's definitely the most
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: emotionally responsive and it's very cute. So loofy. After hearing this,
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: he finishes his soup and he goes back into that
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: other room and picks up the pirate flag out of
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: the trunk, prompting Chopper to appear out of nowhere as
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: if he was watching on a ring camera in the
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: next room and yell at him again just like I
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: told you not to fuck around with that. What are
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: you doing? And Lufy says, I respect all pirate flags
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: and this needs to be hung, and he uses his
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: gum gum ability to hang it up and displays the
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: fact that he is also not normal to Chopper as
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: he does so, and Chopper is looking at him like
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: wait what and he says, yeah, that's right, I'm a
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: monster too. Is an great? Ah, you guys. I really
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: feel like that's where this episode should have ended. I
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: understand the structure narratively of having having the ending be
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: a moment of oh no, what will happen now, so
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: that you want to immediately watch the next episode. I
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: definitely get that, but this episode was such a fucking bummer.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: I feel like we needed to end on a little
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: bit of a high note, you know, just have Dalton
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: getting shot and captured the scene before, and then end
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: on this one with Lufy saying isn't it great? And
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: it just feels like we're getting to go out on
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: a little bit more of a high note than we've been.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: Then we've been given the rest of the episode, but
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: you know, what can you do? So next episode is
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: the final episode. I am really curious, y'all because the
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: fact that I know that Joe manage Leone said I
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: say his name, I never know that he was cast
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: as mister Zero aka Crocodile. That indicates he's gonna have
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: to be in the season. I don't know when we're
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: gonna get that, because this storyline with Chopper just needs
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: to be resolved before we can move on. So I'm
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: not expecting to even get to Alabasta this season, and
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: so I'm trying. I like, don't remember if he turns
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: up early or what happens. Sorry, uh, Bernadette says, does it?
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: Why would we tell you that. I'm not asking you
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: to tell me, but I would say it does simply
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: because Joe Minslioni is such a big name that if
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: they're going to publicize that he was like hired. We
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: haven't even seen mister Zero's face. We've seen like the
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: side profile. That's it. There's not this is a this
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: is an actor well known enough that we're gonna pay
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: him to be off camera almost the whole season. I
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: just don't see that practically being how we handle it.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: And maybe I am just wrong about that. Maybe it's
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: like we're hiring you on just to do a couple
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: of scenes and then you're really gonna be in it
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: next season. Maybe that's the way that it worked. But
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: I have just kept thinking that, you know, we're going
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: to get more of him, and we really don't get
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: much of him at all. Also, I almost forgot to
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: mention that Vivi spots Robin in the village and it's
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: it's extremely funny because, like, you know, all of the
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: the villagers dressed in like clothing that has been aged
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: and made to look really like rumpled and dirty and
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: repaired a bunch of times, and then you just have
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: Robin in this immaculate cream colored floor length coat, and
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: it's just she just looks insane, you know what I mean.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: It just she looks great, obviously, but just in the
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: context of that, it is the most her. She's making
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: zero attempt to like be covert at all, And it
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: is very funny. You know. It makes me think there's
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: when I was in Guatemala for a little while there.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: It was a very weird experience because you would have
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: like this incredible poverty right up against real wealth. And
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: I will never forget this one time. I had been
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: like living in this little town for several weeks at
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: that point, and every morning when I would head out
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: to one of my classes, there was this donkey that
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: was always like pulling a cart in the same spot.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: It was part of their routine to be going down
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: this one street, and it was a cobbled street, super narrow,
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: the sort of thing that like there were sidewalks, but
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: they were only about a foot and a half wide,
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: and if anybody opened their front door, it was the
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: equivalent of like cycling and somebody opening their car door
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: in front of you, like you better stop or you're
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: just gonna get got in the face. And I was
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: leaving one morning and all of a sudden, this fucking
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: bent not Bentley Mercedes like suv pulled down the road
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: and the donkey had to like get up on the sidewalk,
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: and it was a very tight because there was a
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: cart as well, and the windows were rolled down, so
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: there was this like pulsing music and you could see
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: a couple people in the car that were like clearly
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: had had work done, you know these It was just like,
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: so obviously we have got serious money. And in the
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: context of this cobbled street with a donkey, where I'd
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: never seen like a vehicle newer than nineteen seventy one,
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: it was just so jarring. And the people's faces as well.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: When you are around like the ordinary folks in this
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: particular area, getting access to just basic dentistry is really rare,
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: so you would have all kinds of skin conditions, weird teeth,
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: just you know, the sort of stuff that a lot
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: of times in the US will simply be corrected from
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: infancy that haven't been dealt with. And then you are
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: faced with somebody who's had plastic surgery and has this
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: unnaturally perfect face with like really intense makeup, and it
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: is like grotesque in this way that I feel is
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: akin to like the way cat and has felt in
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: the Hunger Games, you know, of like, I get used
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: to it quickly coming back to the US and looking
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: around at what is standardized as what we expect people
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: to look like. But at first when I came back,
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: everything felt so fake to me, and it was very unsettling,
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: how like that was simply the norm, and to me
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: it looked so creepy as to be almost alien. And
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: there is like an element of that here with like
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: Robin is so beautiful and she's in this incredible outfit,
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: but in the context of where she is, she looks
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: like a freak. You know. It's just the sort of
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: thing of like, I uh wouldn't be mad if the
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: people around her were just like, the fuck is she
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: doing here? Read the room, Go get something appropriate to wear?
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: What is this? So anyway, I'm going to wrap, but
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: apologies for being late, and apologies for hating this episode
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: so much, But it's not my fault. It's here it
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: looks fault, and that's just I'm glad he's dead and
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: I am not looking forward to having to see all
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: of these freakin flower pedals that were gonna act like
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: mean something, because I don't buy that they mean anything
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: and I never did and I never will. And that
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: is that on that. I'd love you, Chopper, but it's
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: not your fault. You were homeschooled. That's just what happens,
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: all right, everybody until next time to the Loom motherfuckers.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: That was an unspoiled network,
