  This is an unspoiled network podcast. This is spoil Me covering One Piece episodes
• 0:13
  three fifty seven No. Three fifty four, three fifty five, and three
• 0:19
  fifty six. I swear to go see him, Brooke and the Cape of
• 0:25
  Promise, Food, Nami and Shadows, Lufy's enraged counter attack, and Oosup's
• 0:34
  the strongest leave anything negative to him in these episodes. Well, Sanjie apparently
• 0:44
  has a new power that I don't know where it came from, but all
• 0:48
  right, sure why not? And Oosup has a power that we didn't know
• 0:54
  as a power. All along. Welcome to spoil Me, Welcome to the
• 1:19
  show everyone. I am Natasha. Thank you very much to the One Piece
• 1:23
  crew for commissioning this episode. What's up, guys? I so you know
• 1:30
  this was another three episode I want to say three episode episode, but you
• 1:36
  know, you guys wanted me to cover three episodes today, and the first
• 1:38
  of the three episodes was almost only flashbacks, and sometimes you all know I
• 1:48
  can be kind of like, come on, but honestly, I remembered so
• 1:53
  much less of that storyline than I thought I did. I only remember that
• 2:00
  there is this whale that they run into, and that there's a dude living
• 2:04
  in there, and I had forgotten that the guy living inside the whale is
• 2:12
  like totally certain that the whale has been straight up abandoned on purpose, like
• 2:19
  they deliberately left it and didn't come back. And I pretty much like took
• 2:25
  his word on that during that episode because he acted so certain, But he
• 2:31
  doesn't say how he knows or where he'd got his information from. And I
• 2:37
  don't know if it's supposed to be like that. He had been on the
• 2:39
  crew and some like he wasn't one of them, I don't think. So
• 2:45
  it seems now that he was maybe just talking out of his ass, and
• 2:52
  I don't know if that was supposed to be that he's like trying to tell
• 2:57
  the whale the worst possible will scenario, just to like ease the blow so
• 3:04
  that if nobody comes back, he won't be surprised, even though it's very
• 3:10
  clear that he laboon is. I mean, it's been fifty years and he
• 3:17
  has not given up hope yet, So I don't see why he would think
• 3:23
  just telling him, trust me, they abandon you, they're not coming back
• 3:28
  would work When this is we're going into the sixth decade of him waiting I
• 3:35
  guess he's patient, so let's see. Florian says, Yeah, we did
• 3:40
  not have to talk too much about the flashbacks since we've been here. Yeah,
• 3:45
  that was the only thing that I was really curious about. I can't
• 3:47
  remember what he the thing that Lufy keeps calling him his flower head guy,
• 3:53
  but I don't recall the character's name. And I was sort of expecting as
• 4:00
  well, that he wind up being like part of the story with Brook,
• 4:05
  that we were going to find out flower head Guy new Brook or that like
• 4:11
  there was some kind of connection there, but it doesn't seem like there is.
• 4:15
  It seems like those are two completely different encounters that Laboon has had.
• 4:20
  So yeah, and I had forgotten also that Lufy basically just like starts beating
• 4:29
  the shit out of Laboon just because he can sense, as he puts it,
• 4:32
  when somebody wants a fight, which he turns out to be right.
• 4:36
  But initially I was just like, what is wrong with you? Why would
• 4:42
  you do this? You're just beating up on this poor sad whale that's all
• 4:46
  alone. But right the whale, I don't know. In my like memory's
• 4:50
  eye, I'm picturing there being some kind of signaling where the whale is know
• 5:00
  kind of asking, Hey, you wanna go play fisticuffs, you know how
• 5:05
  a whale would do, But uh, I didn't remember that. Like it's
• 5:10
  kind of the whale just being around and lufy, just being like, oh,
• 5:15
  I know this whalees after he was right as it turns out, but
• 5:20
  it feels very surprising to watch. Um oh, Brian says, Crocus is
• 5:31
  the Laboon guy. How did I not put together his flower guy in the
• 5:35
  name of a flowers a Crocus that I don't remember that at all? Did
• 5:41
  I make that connection the first time? I do not remember? Um let's
• 5:46
  see. Florian says, I think he heard a rumor that La Boon fell
• 5:49
  in battle, that the Laboon's crew fell in battle, which they kind of
• 5:55
  did, I mean if he did, though he doesn't. He doesn't say
• 6:01
  to Laboon in this flashback, Hey, Bud, I'm real sorry, but
• 6:06
  I heard that your whole crew was killed. He says they left him here
• 6:13
  because like basically, pirates ain't shit. Like he's kind of salty and snarky
• 6:20
  about it, as if these guys were having one over on Laboon and he
• 6:27
  couldn't stand to see this poor whale getting played You know, so it's a
• 6:30
  very different energy. If he heard they were dead, that's one thing.
• 6:35
  But if you if you think they're dead, why would you frame it to
• 6:41
  this kid? And I'm calling the whale a kid, and I stand by
• 6:44
  that, why would you frame it like, hey, they just don't care
• 6:48
  and left you here and they're not coming back. If you know, one
• 6:54
  of those is is something that's sort of verifiable by saying, oh, yeah,
• 7:00
  we heard that they were taken out at such and such and they nobody
• 7:03
  made it. But the other just being like, well, I'm pretty sure
• 7:08
  that they don't give a shit. But I don't know if I'm like because
• 7:13
  in the flashback, you know, they only show so much. So if
• 7:15
  he mentions hearing that they fell in battle in like from rumors or anything,
• 7:23
  it wasn't in the flashback. So all I know is what he says to
• 7:29
  Lofy that he has been telling Laboon. Oh, Brian says, well,
• 7:34
  I didn't know that crocus was a type of flower, So we both learned
• 7:38
  something new today. Smiley bays, Yeah, it's spelled differently. It's with
• 7:43
  seas instead of k's, but and it's not a flower that looks anything like
• 7:47
  the flower on his head, although I say that and I have to remember
• 7:51
  that, like you know, sometimes a very basic flower name will cover a
• 7:57
  really big spectrum. So it's possible that there is a crocus that looks like
• 8:01
  the one on his head, and I'm just thinking of I'm thinking of like
• 8:03
  a purple crocus that comes up in spring in like New England mostly, so
• 8:09
  maybe there is something in Japan that looks like the one that is on his
• 8:13
  head and that is their crocus. But anyway, okay, So I just
• 8:18
  wanted to recap on that because as much as I remembered Laboon and that whole
• 8:24
  thing was, like, I really kind of appreciated the flashbacks here because I
• 8:31
  genuinely did not recall. We get a little bit of like the and the
• 8:37
  thumbnail for this episode. You can see Brooke as a live dude who's like
• 8:45
  playing a fiddle for Laboon, and I will tell you what, guys,
• 8:50
  this dude looks like so much fun. He just looks like he's having a
• 8:52
  great time and he's just managed to like maintain that vibe to his post life
• 9:03
  personality. And that is pretty impressive because I don't feel that I would be
• 9:09
  as happy go lucky after experiencing the kinds of setbacks that he has. But
• 9:16
  really, what is one piece about if not the perseverance of the human spirit.
• 9:24
  So we have all of these flashbacks, and I want to mention every
• 9:28
  time that they do this, I get confused and think that I that the
• 9:37
  whole show has been like this, but I just didn't notice until now.
• 9:41
  When they do the flashbacks in this episode, it's not necessarily what they do
• 9:48
  in all of them, and I kind of think it must be because they're
• 9:50
  showing such a significant number of flashbacks that it takes up enough time that they
• 9:58
  felt like they really want wanted to underscore that this is like a whole other
• 10:05
  storyline that they're reminding us of. But they shrink the screen that has the
• 10:13
  actual flashbacks down and surround it with a frame that is like the first of
• 10:20
  all the like blue water, and then even further out the map around them,
• 10:26
  So it's like a really weird sort of frame that only comes up sometimes.
• 10:33
  I think what I said is why they do it when it's like a
• 10:37
  particularly large chunk of the episode. But I always get confused when I see
• 10:43
  it, and I'm like, is this like the way they they're putting the
• 10:48
  show on Funimation. Is that because it's like the aspect ratio is off,
• 10:52
  like what is going on? But anyway, so yeah, the crew is
• 11:00
  still talking about like the fact that brooke the coincidence of meeting him with them
• 11:07
  having met Laboon and you know, just what are the odds of that?
• 11:11
  And then we go because Zoro thinks to himself, I wonder what that skeleton's
• 11:18
  doing right now, and we go to him fighting the h I keep forgetting
• 11:26
  his name. I know you guys told me, but the like Samurai skeleton
• 11:30
  guy, and for once, he's actually kind of holding his own. He's
• 11:35
  doing pretty well. And uh, Samurai Uma Uma Uma Uma is the it's
• 11:48
  he is actually kind of impressed. This is one of those things that I
• 11:54
  have a real toxic relationship with you guys. Everybody any talks like you know,
• 12:01
  there was a kind of trend going around a year or two ago that
• 12:05
  was like my toxic traite is blank and it would you know, you would
• 12:07
  just say some behavior that you like, Noah is fucked up, but you
• 12:11
  still do it. And I think that one of my biggest toxic traits,
• 12:16
  especially were I like a superhero. I when i'm reading or watching anything like
• 12:24
  this, I really feel gratified when the villain in the scene acknowledges that the
• 12:31
  other person is, if not a match for them, at least like above
• 12:37
  average or more than they were expecting. I think that, you know,
• 12:43
  that reveals a deep seated need for approval. And I acknowledge that, and
• 12:48
  that's fine whatever. But I could not help when Ruma was like, oh
• 12:52
  you have gotten stronger, be like, hey, all right, see,
• 12:56
  good, good for you, Brooke, you've been working like I really wanted
• 13:00
  to give him a pat on the back. Florian says it is not shrinked.
• 13:05
  The first episodes we're in a three four a three four ratio, and
• 13:11
  Brian says the episodes back then were made in a four three ratio. It's
• 13:16
  like the ratio usually, and you know, I maybe just wrong on this,
• 13:22
  but I want to just like take a screenshot so that I can or
• 13:26
  no, I can just like show you guys in the share. But it's
• 13:31
  shrunk from every direction. Usually, if you're trying to show something that's meant
• 13:37
  to be in the TV aspect ratio, they just put the bars on either
• 13:43
  side to get the rectangular screen down to a square. But what they've done
• 13:52
  for this, at least on Funimation, is they have put the frame around
• 13:58
  all of it so that it's like there's a square just sort of in the
• 14:03
  middle of the screen. And this is not important. Forgive me folks who
• 14:07
  are listening and are just like, literally who cares, But you know,
• 14:11
  I just I have like curiosity about little details like this because sometimes it you
• 14:18
  know, it's almost never like really important, but it can be kind of
• 14:20
  interesting to find out. So because like, you know, the area around
• 14:26
  the square that has the actual show in it is blue and also a square,
• 14:35
  and so you would think that they would just expand out the actual show
• 14:41
  to fill that space instead, but it's instead they just shrank it further down
• 14:50
  so that it's framed twice. Basically, it's framed by the map imagery and
• 14:56
  then it's framed by the water. So it's just a very weird decision that
• 15:00
  they have made. And I'm not really sure why it's like that, but
• 15:03
  it's fine. I just wanted to show you guys. So I was screen
• 15:07
  shared and now I'm done. So this uh Brooks fight with Ruma. He
• 15:18
  says, you've gotten much better, but also so have I. And then
• 15:26
  Brooke winds up on his back and I was like, come on, man,
• 15:31
  I really wanted him to pull through this and just prove something. You
• 15:37
  know, it's not it's just to himself, not prove something to Yuma,
• 15:48
  to be clear, because that's not what is important. Even though I know
• 15:54
  that I said I was gratified, and I am. But you could see
• 15:58
  in the last to like fight, when Brooke falls against Ruma and has to
• 16:04
  run away, how kind of ashamed of himself he is that he wasn't able
• 16:10
  to to take this dude down, especially because he was confused at the fact
• 16:18
  that he's facing technically his own consciousness, so he was not expecting to be
• 16:26
  outmatched because he didn't understand I don't think about the factor that the body the
• 16:36
  spirit is chosen to the spirit's been put into has what oh my god,
• 16:47
  Wait, he didn't understand that the body the spirit, the body chosen for
• 16:52
  the spirit, is a significant factor in the strength of the zombie. So
• 17:00
  I think that he figured he was just going to be facing somebody who had
• 17:06
  the exact same abilities as himself, regardless of the body. And I say
• 17:12
  that while acknowledging that that's what I think is going on with Riuma being such
• 17:18
  a better swordsman than him, but I'm not positive. And you guys,
• 17:23
  this was so rough because he's fighting him, he winds up on his back
• 17:29
  and Yuma is like mocking him about the fact that he's still trying to protect
• 17:36
  his afro. He actually like guts him at one point, and I say
• 17:41
  that with the full awareness again that he has no guts and this is a
• 17:47
  running joke. But he gets him like in the stomach area, and Brooke,
• 17:52
  we get a close up of his face in that moment, and you
• 17:56
  see a couple of like, I think what supposed to be like tufts of
• 18:00
  hair from his afro that fall down even though the sword was like nowhere near
• 18:06
  his afro. So I don't I think it's just meant to be symbolic of
• 18:08
  the fact that, like, oh, he's in trouble. But yeah,
• 18:12
  Yuma gets him on his back and again is just like really enjoying the concept
• 18:21
  of humiliating him by cutting the afro off and mentions that it's basically the biggest
• 18:32
  thing on his whole body, so it is a target, whether he likes
• 18:37
  it or not. And I thought that was kind of an interesting point actually,
• 18:41
  But then Brooke gets up again keeps fighting, and we have this like
• 18:48
  inner monologue about what he's thinking in regard to Laboon, and he is just
• 18:59
  really feeling a lot of guilt over leaving this animal there not coming back,
• 19:06
  and he says something about how he really tried to bring everybody back and it
• 19:12
  just didn't work out. You know, everybody's gone now and I have done
• 19:15
  all that I could do, and I lost, like I lost my friends,
• 19:25
  my body, my shadow. I basically lost my life, even though
• 19:30
  not exactly. And when I go back and see you, if I get
• 19:36
  to, I don't even know how you're going to recognize me. And I'm
• 19:40
  like, look, I understand your concern on that, buddy, but I
• 19:45
  will say that you're pretty distinctive looking still, and honestly, that is a
• 19:52
  hell of a compliment. Like if I were to be reduced to just a
• 20:00
  like skeleton and my hair, I don't know how much, it would just
• 20:07
  be a guarantee that a person fifty years later would see me and be like,
• 20:11
  oh yeah, but man, he has a certain look. And I
• 20:18
  am somewhat confident that he is going to be recognized by Laboon. I just
• 20:23
  feel like that's probably you know, and if he decides to live inside La
• 20:30
  Boon, which would actually be really weird, but I wouldn't be mad about
• 20:36
  it. I think that would be a sweet ending for him. You know.
• 20:42
  It's sort of a weird thing too, like, you know, I
• 20:45
  want him to get a shadow back, of course, but if he didn't,
• 20:49
  he could probably be safe inside Laboon. It's a weird thing because,
• 20:55
  you know, and I talked about this during those episodes, there's a whole
• 21:00
  light system going on inside Laboon that doesn't make any sense but looks like daylight.
• 21:04
  So I don't actually know how that would even go. I'm assuming it's
• 21:08
  supposed to be that it's like coming in through the blow hole, so maybe
• 21:11
  it wouldn't be safe for him. But all this to say, the fight
• 21:18
  between him and Rhyuma, there's a moment that was really funny where the two
• 21:22
  of them are like face to face and they both start laughing at the same
• 21:26
  time, and there's just something really eerie about the way both of them laugh
• 21:33
  so similarly but also very very differently, and the energy here of like this
• 21:42
  being his own spirit that's doing this and so bent on taking him down that
• 21:52
  does have to be kind of a a weird place to be to realize that,
• 21:59
  like the Shadow of yourself literally and figuratively will be perfectly fine with killing
• 22:07
  its host, which considering the fact that he is kind of dead already,
• 22:18
  So question, guys, actually, now that I think about this, can
• 22:26
  can Brooke be killed? Like? How would that work? We see him
• 22:33
  get sorted through a couple of times, obviously does nothing. It's fine.
• 22:40
  I'm assuming, you know, we see like bits of bone go flying and
• 22:44
  whatnot, but he always just gets back up. And I am realizing that
• 22:52
  if he's fighting himself and that Shadow were to win and kill him, then
• 23:03
  that Swordsman would be deactivated. And I'm assuming that Maria just doesn't care.
• 23:14
  But I had thought that this guy was kind of important to him, Like
• 23:18
  he's a really good fighter and usually good considering the fucking incompetent zombies that we
• 23:25
  have seen so far, so I would have thought that fighting the Shadows owner
• 23:32
  wouldn't be on the list of like two dus because then you're going to potentially
• 23:37
  rob yourself of a pretty a pretty key fighter, I thought. But maybe
• 23:42
  I'm just overestimating this guy's importance. And of course I understand too that like
• 23:52
  the zombie himself is forced to do what he's told to do, so it's
• 23:59
  not like he has the logic to stop and be like, wait, if
• 24:02
  I do this, I'm destroying myself. Like that's not how it works.
• 24:06
  They do what they're told so far as we've seen, so I'm not saying
• 24:11
  anything about him, but I'm just sort of wondering why, like whose orders
• 24:18
  are is he under at this point? Has he been told to take Brook
• 24:22
  out or is this just an automatic self defense that sort of builts in because
• 24:26
  Brooke attacked him. I don't know. But anyway, we have this like
• 24:33
  really intense moment where he is promising I don't care what I have to do,
• 24:38
  but I am definitely coming back for you. And again bone is flying
• 24:45
  and it is a real kind of I'm gonna struggle back to my feet and
• 24:53
  keep fighting until I like bore a mere and kneeling helpless before you and you
• 25:00
  come directly up to me and draw a bow to shoot me in the head.
• 25:07
  But anyway, we find out here, you guys, I was not
• 25:14
  prepared for this at all. That everybody is completely on board with Boon Boo
• 25:26
  la Boon well, actually I say us up said La Boon specifically as well,
• 25:30
  So I don't know, I guess that would be interesting. But everybody
• 25:34
  is completely on board with Brooke joining the crew. And I know that this
• 25:38
  was mentioned before, but I had forgotten Lufi had said that they needed musicians
• 25:44
  and that he wanted one, and Brooke playing the fiddle like this is exactly
• 25:51
  what Lufi had been looking for from almost the very beginning, if I remember
• 25:56
  correctly, So I forgot about how neatly Brook fits into that little slot.
• 26:03
  But I also was surprised that everybody else at this point, after hearing this
• 26:07
  story about Laboon and of course Frankie starts crying, everybody has decided that they're
• 26:14
  going to completely set aside their own like fears and hang ups about what Brooke
• 26:21
  is and go with it and let him join the crew. And if he
• 26:26
  really does, I'm gonna be pretty stoked, you guys, because I mean,
• 26:30
  I really I was so sure that we had, like we had the
• 26:36
  crew we were gonna have before Frankie joined up. And then when Frankie joined
• 26:41
  there was a real feeling to me of that is the last guy. And
• 26:45
  that's not to say that they'll necessarily stay with the crew forever. But I
• 26:51
  assume if and this is all predicated on obviously Brooke saying yes, which he
• 26:57
  may not, but he said yes already, and I don't know if that'll
• 27:02
  change based on what happens on the island, but I didn't. I am
• 27:11
  like thinking that maybe people who join the crew stay around for like several arcs
• 27:18
  and then go their own way, because it's still really hard for me to
• 27:22
  accept that the crew is fundamentally changed in a way that isn't going to revert
• 27:30
  back to the crew that I knew when the show started, and I know
• 27:36
  that that is probably not true, considering that this is a show that has
• 27:42
  gone on for as long as it has and is animated. Because I think
• 27:48
  that sometimes I get sort of fixated on the way things work in live action
• 27:52
  shows due to the contracts that they have with actors. So if there's like
• 27:59
  a cast member that hasn't he suddenly gets added to things, I am thinking
• 28:07
  he's brand new. They just started a new contract with him. There's no
• 28:11
  way that he just makes it to the end of the series because they aren't
• 28:18
  going to commit to that actor the same way or just you know red shirt
• 28:22
  stuff if anything, But with this show, it's much more possible that this
• 28:30
  is a permanent change. And I've got to admit I still haven't accepted it.
• 28:37
  I don't dislike it, but it feels temporary. Does that make sense?
• 28:44
  And I just am sort of waiting for like the shoe to drop and
• 28:48
  Frankie to find some other thing that he wants to do, or get news
• 28:52
  about something and like take off or they go with him to help him on
• 28:57
  whatever he hears, and then he winds up staying wherever. Like, there's
• 29:02
  just a lot of different ways that you could have one of these latecomers retreat
• 29:08
  and go back to the original grouping. And I've actually, now that I
• 29:15
  say this, have been doing this with Robin also, And part of that
• 29:21
  is definitely because she shared so little of herself that I didn't feel much of
• 29:26
  a connection between her and the rest of the crew because she wasn't putting forth
• 29:30
  an effort to make one. So maybe that's part of why. Is like
• 29:36
  I'm letting the vibe that I had from Robin's sort of color the way that
• 29:40
  I'm seeing things going with Frankie and Brooke. I do want to say,
• 29:47
  though, on that note that as much as Robin is like part of the
• 29:52
  crew in a more official way now, and you know, I think she's
• 29:56
  been actually saying people's names, if I'm not mistaken, I don't feel like
• 30:02
  she has really been vibe in with anybody. And I don't maybe it's just
• 30:11
  the arc that we're in at the moment doesn't lend itself to that. But
• 30:15
  she's had these moments of like sweetness, you know, and joking around and
• 30:21
  stuff, but she just doesn't have the chemistry with the other characters that like
• 30:26
  Frankie naturally has, and I think it's they just made her a little bit
• 30:33
  boring. Her backstory is very, very compelling, and her ability is wild,
• 30:41
  but in some ways, I feel like her personality just doesn't quite match
• 30:47
  up. I would like something a little bit more distinctive about her, so
• 30:51
  that and maybe that's you know, you guys have said that she has a
• 30:55
  much darker sense of humor if I'm reading the subs instead of doing the dub,
• 31:00
  and maybe that's it. Maybe it just didn't translate well and so I've
• 31:03
  lost something there. But anyway, Florian says, let's see, I feel
• 31:12
  like all the zombies have a default setting that is, like take outsiders too,
• 31:17
  Master Moria. Oh, that's a good point. So you don't think
• 31:22
  he's trying to kill him. You think he's well or he is trying to
• 31:26
  kill him. I'm thinking to take Outsiders to Master Maria so that he can,
• 31:30
  like Harvest, there's shadows, but he maybe he doesn't know that Brook's
• 31:37
  shadow is gone already. But he does know, doesn't he? I don't
• 31:40
  know. I mean it maybe that he can't recognize himself because they don't seem
• 31:48
  to have like a real consciousness exactly. And Lufy came faced, but he
• 31:56
  says, you got stronger, doesn't still doesn't. He doesn't necessarily know.
• 32:00
  He just knows I've seen you before and I fought you before. But he
• 32:02
  may not know who he actually is. And Riuma I have to say as
• 32:08
  well that like, he definitely is more capable of holding a real conversation than
• 32:15
  any of the zombies that we have come across. He is talking in like
• 32:19
  a lot of full sentences and has an edge to him that seems really specifically
• 32:30
  human that doesn't, in my opinion, really match Brooks personality. So that's
• 32:38
  the only thing that's sort of kind of like hanging me up. Is we
• 32:43
  see the Loofy zombie, the Zoro zombie and the way that they're acting,
• 32:50
  You're like, oh, yeah, that's who that is. But I don't
• 32:52
  really have that sense with Brooke. He doesn't seem at all to have the
• 32:59
  personality of Shadow other than the fact that he his shadow laughs as well.
• 33:06
  Otherwise he seems to be sort of mean spirited in a way that Brooke isn't.
• 33:15
  And I don't know if there's anything significant to that, but there it
• 33:20
  is, because it'd be kind of funny if Brooke we're facing off with a
• 33:24
  really cheery, like positive zombie. You know, when you're versus against somebody
• 33:32
  like that, that can be kind of interesting. So then we have Sangi
• 33:43
  and he like jumps in as everybody's saying that they want to accept these dudes
• 33:49
  as crewmates and says, before I can answer the question, I gotta put
• 33:53
  a stop to this shotgun wedding of namies. And he says this, and
• 33:58
  flames erupted around him. But I thought that was just a metaphor, and
• 34:07
  it seems like that's not what that is. So we'll get back to that,
• 34:13
  because that like suddenly happens, and then we don't get any more of
• 34:17
  that until the next episode, and nobody comments on it, which is another
• 34:22
  part of why I was like, this is symbolic, right, But this
• 34:25
  is when Lufy sees that Zoro is leaving the ship, and it's like,
• 34:30
  We've got a lot of stuff to get back, we have things to do.
• 34:35
  Let's get a move on, guys, We've got to do this.
• 34:38
  And then we go into the next episode, and this is the one where
• 34:46
  we have the like Sanji is literally just standing around, like fully engulfed in
• 34:53
  flame, and it just doesn't feel like anybody is as surprised about that as
• 35:00
  they ought to be. I feel like that deserves a much bigger reaction,
• 35:08
  and this show is usually not stingy on reactions, but I wanted even more,
• 35:17
  like how is this possible? But anyway, so we jump into the
• 35:22
  next episode, which opens with Lufi's zombie again attempting to stretch his arm up
• 35:31
  and it not working, and I am wondering if the devil fruit abilities maybe
• 35:39
  he doesn't know how to activate them as a zombie, but I think it's
• 35:44
  just that he doesn't have them. I'm not sure if Maria has ever turned
• 35:49
  a devil fruit user to know, you know, I will say that it
• 35:54
  is super funny how Maria is just like rinning and excited in a general sense
• 36:01
  of like mischievous, like io quote we did. Doctor Hogback, for his
• 36:08
  part, is treating Lufy like a baby that is much smarter like than anybody
• 36:19
  would have expected. He keeps saying like, oh my god, look at
• 36:22
  him. Go I'm so proud of him, to the point that like,
• 36:24
  Lufy is destroying shit. Later and other zombies are kind of chiming and like,
• 36:30
  hey, uh, just wondering if it's a great idea to be working
• 36:37
  with somebody that's ginormous but also not controllable, because for us that's feeling like
• 36:45
  a drawback, and Maria and Hogback are both just like, shut the fuck
• 36:51
  up, We'll deal with it. But they both seem truly excited, mostly
• 36:57
  at the fact that like nine hundred is up walking around and they are willing
• 37:00
  to overlook everything else in favor of the fact that they have finally managed to
• 37:07
  animate this like body that clearly they were saving for a special occasion. This
• 37:15
  was a big deal. I also want to mention that I was wondering about
• 37:22
  how this nine hundred could be on the island with all of them considering how
• 37:30
  huge it is and like what kind of space it would take up, And
• 37:34
  we get a moment where Chopper is explaining to all of them how much bigger
• 37:38
  this dude is than a regular giant would be. A human being in this
• 37:44
  animation comes up to the top of his ankle, and that was sort of
• 37:52
  helpful to me, just, you know, for proportion on that front.
• 37:57
  But also, like the zombie begins climbing a building, I guess it's sort
• 38:04
  of supposed to be the mast. I'm not even sure what it is that
• 38:07
  he's climbing, but he is very small in comparison to that, so I
• 38:14
  think that I was overestimating his size and underestimating the size of Killer Bark.
• 38:19
  And I have to keep remembering Killer Bark Thriller Bark, and I have to
• 38:22
  keep remembering that, you know, this is a big enough ship that it
• 38:29
  looks like an island from the water, and there are literal like trees growing
• 38:34
  on it, and you need a carriage ride to get you from the shore
• 38:37
  to the castle and a reasonable length of time. So I've just forgotten how
• 38:44
  much space we're actually dealing with here. So everybody is trying to explain to
• 38:51
  Lufy about this thing that has his shadow in it and how scary it is,
• 38:57
  And once again we have Zoro chiming in and basically being like, we
• 39:04
  keep on talking about what this thing can do to us and how scary it
• 39:09
  is, but it will not change the fact that fighting it is what we
• 39:15
  have to do. So if nobody's got any other ideas on how to improve
• 39:22
  our chances, we've got to stop just sitting around freaking ourselves out talking about
• 39:30
  it and go deal with it. So again this bit with Sanji, who
• 39:44
  is it, was it Lufy that tells him to fire up, and he
• 39:47
  says, you're rescuing Nami, and Sanji just says, that's exactly what I
• 39:53
  wanted to hear, burst into flames. That invisible man's gonna be a divisible
• 40:00
  man. When I'm done with him, I'm gonna break his ass into fractions.
• 40:06
  And I love the fact that, like all of this is still with
• 40:13
  his cigarette in his mouth and his hair is floating up around his face.
• 40:19
  There's a real like dragon ball z vibe And I have never watched any of
• 40:23
  that show, but there are some things that it's just impossible not to absorb
• 40:29
  by osmosis, and the look that people get in Dragon ball Z when they
• 40:35
  are fighting. This is just very much reminding me of that. But this
• 40:44
  is when Usa says he spied on Nami while she was taking a bath,
• 40:50
  and Sanji says, what the hell you say? He will pay and he
• 40:58
  turns bright red and a fireball goes up, and then Choppers says, oh
• 41:08
  my god, Sanji exploded. Now Florian is in the chat saying the flames
• 41:15
  of passion and love, Florian, is he not actually on fire? Because
• 41:21
  I took this initially as the metaphor of flames of passion and rage? Also,
• 41:28
  but is it supposed to be that it's really a metaphor because the way
• 41:31
  that Chopper says, oh my god, he exploded, and also the fact
• 41:37
  that the fact that Lufy specifically says to him, fire up. I know
• 41:45
  that, like you could say fire up to somebody as a get yourself psyched,
• 41:50
  you know, get ready to go in. But it felt so literal
• 41:54
  an order that I had been taking it, like this is actually what's happening,
• 42:01
  And if it's not, I'm a Dodo, so forgive me. But
• 42:07
  yeah, Sanji then says, this loathsome invisible pervert is gonna die, and
• 42:15
  he's screaming and his eyes are like flames that are pouring out of his skull,
• 42:22
  and it is really a moment. So what us Up decides is that
• 42:29
  he is going to go with Sanji to help save Nami because he feels responsible
• 42:35
  for the fact that Nami got nabbed while she was with him and Chopper,
• 42:38
  and also he is banking on the fact that saving Nami means he will not
• 42:45
  have to cross Maria's path, which is probably true or it would have been
• 42:50
  true. But this, uh, this is sound logic to me overall.
• 42:59
  And the Frankie says, okay, well, if straw Hat is able to
• 43:07
  win and we can get everything straightened out, then that's fine. But otherwise
• 43:12
  I've got to help Brook and also figure out a way to hold onto my
• 43:16
  own shadow. And Zoro says, yeah, all right, let's get let's
• 43:22
  go and start with these dudes and see how they live up to their reputations.
• 43:30
  Robin says, if we're picking, I really want to help, not
• 43:34
  me, because for me, she's a priority, And then we can just
• 43:37
  take down Maria as a team and This is when Chopper brings up that he's
• 43:43
  one of the warlords. YadA, YadA, YadA. But eventually everybody gets
• 43:46
  moving and we have a bit with a what's his name's at Wilton, the
• 43:52
  little bat like guy. He is, I honestly just love his design.
• 44:01
  Guys, I love him. But he is watching Lufy who is He has
• 44:07
  climbed all the way up to the top of the mast of thriller Bark and
• 44:15
  he is so excited about the view and says that it's like the perfect view
• 44:22
  of for somebody who is going to be King of the Pirates. So my
• 44:28
  previous I was torn between is his main focus going to be on eating or
• 44:35
  is it going to be on being King of the pirates and initially eating?
• 44:38
  But once he got that taken care of, the King of the Pirates thing
• 44:44
  became a immediate second. So I'm feeling pretty good about how much I understand
• 44:51
  these characters. At this point, I got to say, but he's up
• 44:54
  there and Hilden, thank you, Florian, and one of the little like
• 45:04
  negative ghosts flies up and I thought that it was going to fly through him,
• 45:10
  but it turns out he's just spying and evidently what's her name, Pirona.
• 45:19
  She can see through the eyes of this ghost because as it flies up
• 45:23
  and looks at him, she's inside the building, and she tells Maria that
• 45:30
  he's like on the top of the mast of the ship for some reason.
• 45:35
  So that sort of adds a lot to her abilities, because I mean,
• 45:43
  these things being her minions and running out and doing her will is already pretty
• 45:46
  impressive. But if she's able to, like, if not see through their
• 45:52
  eyes, at least get information from them telepathically somehow, I mean, that
• 45:58
  really extends her reach. That's all I'm saying. That's pretty scary. I
• 46:01
  love what she tells Maria too, that he's climbed up the mast for some
• 46:06
  reason, and he looks so happy, like he's just like this is exactly
• 46:10
  what I was wanting, And everybody around him is like, dude, this
• 46:14
  doesn't feel awesome. It's just not really what we were expecting in a coworker,
• 46:20
  that's all we're saying. So then we have the moment where Hilden arrives
• 46:29
  explains to them all that basically everybody from that crew whose shadow they stole is
• 46:36
  already awake and I wasn't, you know, I had forgotten that it's mentioned
• 46:42
  people's sleep usually for a couple of days after they're stolen. Our friends got
• 46:46
  like slapped awake basically, and I had forgotten that's how that went, and
• 46:52
  that it would have been so much longer if they didn't have people around basically,
• 46:58
  you know, pouring cold water are over their heads, and yeah,
• 47:02
  Hogback is like shocked at the fact that they are already awake. He thinks
• 47:07
  that Hilden's mistaken, and Hilden's like, no, I promise, and they
• 47:12
  are heading this way, and also, you know, they know how to
• 47:16
  do the cleansing thing as well, which that really gets Hogback extremely worried.
• 47:22
  So then Hogback is like, where the hell is Absalon, Like he's supposed
• 47:27
  to be here helping us. I don't know what he's up to. And
• 47:30
  Hilden says, well, he is getting married, and I think the ceremony
• 47:37
  just started. And also the zombie generals are all attending the ceremony and they
• 47:45
  are in the audience, and this understandably sends Hogback into a bit of a
• 47:52
  rage, and he's like, I cannot believe all of our top players are
• 47:58
  gathered in one place. Are they fucking high what is wrong with them?
• 48:04
  And poor Hilton, he's just like cowering before him with little sweat drops.
• 48:12
  And then he says, I forgot to ask you. Absalom wanted to know
• 48:14
  if he could use your dance hall for his wedding reception. Hogback, Well,
• 48:20
  I suppose a wedding is a special, beautiful event. And then finally,
• 48:24
  but do you think this is a good time for dancing? I did
• 48:30
  kind of enjoy that interaction, I'm just saying, And Hildon, when he
• 48:37
  gets yelled at, says, I mean, you know, I'm a zombie,
• 48:43
  right, so like, maybe it's unfair to yell at me for the
• 48:47
  question I am sent to ask you because I literally can't do anything else,
• 48:54
  like I haven't got any choice. And I was like, oh, that's
• 49:00
  a good point. He just falls backward onto his back in fright, I
• 49:04
  guess. So this is when Pirona is like, whatever, we don't need
• 49:12
  him. Let him have his fucking wedding, and I'm gonna go and use
• 49:15
  my ghosts and I will be able to completely rob them of any will or
• 49:22
  motivation they have to fight. And then the zombies are just gonna swing by
• 49:27
  and scoop them up and it'll be nothing. I'll take care of this.
• 49:32
  So we have her being followed by Kumasi, who does not any longer have
• 49:39
  straw hats inside him, and we get another moment. So Pirona is walking
• 49:52
  away. Hogback says, oh good, she's useful. What would we do
• 49:57
  without her? And injury. I can't remember if that's the right way to
• 50:01
  say her name. You guys have told me. She slides up and says,
• 50:06
  you know, if you want it to be useful, you could shut
• 50:08
  your fat mouth like Kumacy. I am living for this dead pan bitch,
• 50:19
  like I want her commentary on everything for the rest of the show. She
• 50:30
  is so fucking over it and doesn't care. And it's beautiful. It's beautiful.
• 50:40
  I just love the fact that Hogback clearly like he I think that the
• 50:46
  vibe is that he was like obsessed with her as an actress and maybe abducted
• 50:51
  her or something to turn her into this assistant because he was, like,
• 50:55
  you know, had a crush on her or something. And I really enjoy
• 51:00
  that theory because it makes the fact that she despises him so completely even more
• 51:07
  like satisfying. So anyway, this little bit just tickled me. I really
• 51:15
  enjoyed it anyway. All right, So this is when we have the crew
• 51:23
  all running around the building yelling for Maria, where are you, and a
• 51:29
  bunch of zombies that like get in the way of our friends are literally panicking
• 51:36
  at the sight of Lufy and realizing like, oh, this is the guy
• 51:38
  that completely schooled us. It's about to get ugly. Sanji is running through
• 51:45
  asking who was spying on Nami, and all of these dudes are like very
• 51:50
  quick to say it wasn't me. I swear it wasn't me because they don't
• 51:53
  want any of that smoke literally or figuratively. And who's up sades something about
• 52:02
  how we might not even need the salts, like they're fucking cleaning these guys
• 52:08
  out. So they're heading toward the dance hall, and there's this very fine
• 52:16
  little bridge that kind of connects it to this other. Because this is a
• 52:21
  ship, the way it's built is really really weird to me. So I
• 52:25
  kept trying to sort of wrap my head around where exactly we were and what
• 52:30
  the building was, like, you know, it really didn't quite work.
• 52:36
  I'm going to admit to you guys, like I lost the plot a little
• 52:39
  bit in terms of where they were more than once, and we have all
• 52:46
  of these these negative ghosts that are chasing our friends up the stairs. And
• 52:54
  as they are running up them, we see Lufy's zombie jump from like way
• 53:04
  up high onto a building that I thought, I guess he expected would just
• 53:10
  hold his weight, that he was treating it like, oh yeah, I'm
• 53:15
  just walking down the steps. But because this bridge has been completely collapsed,
• 53:22
  it winds up separating our friends. They go down, some of them,
• 53:28
  but Chopper like is up on the top still. So when the others wake
• 53:32
  up there, it's a very different situation. I feel so bad for Chopper
• 53:37
  being like all by himself, And no, he's not by himself. I
• 53:43
  lied. There's a moment where it looks like and then Robin and Lufy are
• 53:47
  over there. I thought for a second that he was all alone, and
• 53:51
  I was like, man, Chopper always hays this happened, But yeah,
• 53:55
  us up, SANGI. They fell, and they are upside down in the
• 54:02
  stone, while Zoro and Frankie are totally fine. Frankie is combing his hair
• 54:09
  literally and he says, all right, well, there's this wall that we've
• 54:15
  got to get through, and it's really weird looking, and we see this
• 54:21
  strange pink stretch of wall and finally us Up and us Up and Sanji get
• 54:31
  up. They're looking at it and Zoro is like, yeah, I'm just
• 54:37
  gonna go ahead and chop it, so he shoves his sword into it.
• 54:44
  Frankie says, I'm going to try and blow it up and uses one of
• 54:50
  like the cannons in his arms, and us Up is like, guys,
• 54:55
  what are you fucking doing? And they're like, what, It's just a
• 55:00
  wall. And thankfully us Up is a little bit more observant, and it's
• 55:06
  like, that's not a wall, that's the zombie that Lufie's shadow is in,
• 55:15
  y'all. And this is the first time that they get any sense of
• 55:21
  really the proportion they are working with, because it is one thing for Chopper
• 55:25
  to say he is six times taller than any other giant. I mean,
• 55:30
  that's like an impossible thing to imagine effectively anyway, but then factoring in he
• 55:37
  is also a lot wider than any other zombie because he has to like compensate.
• 55:44
  So it's say, this thing is just beyond what any of them we're
• 55:47
  expecting. It's very clear they thought they got it, they didn't got it.
• 55:53
  So then we have the next episode, which starts off with Lufy,
• 56:02
  Robin, and usop or no Chopper running into the room where doctor Hogback is
• 56:10
  and I was so confused because he looks at Chopper and says, why is
• 56:16
  there a talking reindeer? And I was like, but you've met him,
• 56:21
  and I realized he's in a different form now, so he doesn't see it.
• 56:25
  You know. I was very surprised though, that you wouldn't be,
• 56:29
  like, well, even though he's a different shape, he is still a
• 56:34
  reindeer, which the other guy was also wearing the same hat and has the
• 56:39
  same voice, So it's odd that you are confused or surprised, but sure,
• 56:46
  it's fine. So Chopper asks Lufy to let him fight this guy,
• 56:59
  and he tells Lufy that the refrigerator, which is down that hallway, is
• 57:05
  where you want ahead, So Lufy just fucking runs off, and as he's
• 57:14
  running, we have Chindry like Shindry throwing plates at him, and she's like
• 57:21
  enjoying the hell out of herself, but Robin uses her ability to come out
• 57:25
  of Shindre's chest with all of these arms and grab her and hold her plate
• 57:31
  in place so that she can't keep throwing plates. And honestly, as much
• 57:37
  as I appreciate not wanting Lufy to have plates thrown at him, I just
• 57:45
  love her so much that I want her to get whatever it is she wants.
• 57:50
  That's sort of where I'm at. Let her throw plates. I just
• 57:53
  honestly, this woman is great. Let her do whatever she wants. So
• 58:00
  Chopper transforms back into his little self and is like, I'm going to fight
• 58:07
  the fuck out of you, to which doctor Hogback is like, oh wow,
• 58:13
  I didn't recognize you. I'm not going to let you get away a
• 58:16
  second time, especially because your body is crazy. So I am going to
• 58:24
  definitely make you into some weird puppet, because how could I help it.
• 58:30
  You're a very unusual find, and you know who I'm going to use to
• 58:34
  do that. And then the two zombies that have Sani and Zoro's shadows in
• 58:40
  them come forward, and he recognizes Sangie's because he met this weird penguin before,
• 58:50
  but when he looks at the one for Zoro, we have the first
• 58:52
  instance of somebody realizing what Lufy has said about how it looked just like him,
• 58:59
  and that it is profoundly untrue, and Chopper, It's like, that
• 59:05
  is not at why what did he even mean? So then we jump over
• 59:12
  to Lufy and he's running down to the refrigerator and turns and there is Maria
• 59:19
  just fucking chilling, and he looks down and just says, oh you again,
• 59:24
  with his hands folded behind his head. I will tell you what,
• 59:28
  kiddos, this is not the vibe I was expecting from this dude. I
• 59:32
  really thought we were gonna get you know, evil laughter, Ah, you
• 59:38
  fell into my trap or some bullshit. He's really got the energy of somebody
• 59:45
  who's like on their fifteen at work and didn't want to be interrupted, and
• 59:52
  they're like a good eight minutes in, ten minutes in, and they're trying
• 59:58
  as much as they can to like savor the last five minutes, and you
• 1:00:02
  came out and sort of wrecked the energy they were building there. You know,
• 1:00:07
  there's just he just doesn't seem particularly interested. And I was pleased to
• 1:00:15
  be so surprised, because I really thought I knew what we were dealing with
• 1:00:19
  here. Meanwhile, outside, we've got a Lufy zombie who picks up this
• 1:00:28
  huge chunk of masonry, and of course understandably, every single one of them
• 1:00:35
  is like, what is he going to do with it? Oh my god,
• 1:00:37
  we're screwed. We're screwed. He's just going to crush us. It's
• 1:00:39
  going to be over before it began. And then nine hundred puts the rock
• 1:00:49
  on his head and just says there, that's better, and everybody's like,
• 1:00:58
  wait what And we get a little like thought bubble of a pirate with one
• 1:01:07
  of those those weird little Napoleon type hats. So he did this, like
• 1:01:16
  with this chunk of rock to get as close to that kind of hat as
• 1:01:22
  he could get, and then he just puts a fist in the air,
• 1:01:27
  says you can't be a pirate without a cool hat, and walks away.
• 1:01:34
  Now I had thought that this would be a bit of a lesson to our
• 1:01:40
  friends. Instead one I think Zoro said something like, well, he really
• 1:01:47
  does act like lufy. But then usap thinks something that huge with his fighting
• 1:01:53
  power is going to give us hell. Or maybe it's Frankie that said it,
• 1:01:58
  and I was kind of like, guy, is I don't did you
• 1:02:01
  did you see what just happened? Like he didn't give a shit, He
• 1:02:07
  doesn't want to fight. He is having a good time, and I bet
• 1:02:10
  if y'all were just like friendly with him, he wouldn't fight you. He
• 1:02:15
  wouldn't care. It's unclear, like it seems that Lufys or the Lufy zombie
• 1:02:21
  is not under the control of Maria at all. But yeah, so this
• 1:02:27
  like bit there, I just felt like they took the wrongest lesson a way.
• 1:02:30
  I understand how it's very easy to still be in the mindset of this
• 1:02:36
  thing is so enormous there's no possible way, but it I felt like it
• 1:02:44
  should be acknowledged a little bit more that it just didn't feel fighty. So
• 1:02:52
  they are sort of stranded because this bridge broke, and the camera like,
• 1:02:57
  go, it's on Frankie for a moment, Panza over and we see we
• 1:03:04
  see Sanji and us up and Zoro talking and they're all just trying to figure
• 1:03:12
  out how we're going to handle this because we are stuck here and I have
• 1:03:15
  to find another way. And then Frankie's like, oh, it just gave
• 1:03:20
  me a minute, and they turn around and there is a fully like this
• 1:03:29
  bridge is gorgeous, just frankly, you know, it's not the same size
• 1:03:34
  or anything, but it happened in ten seconds. Everybody is like what the
• 1:03:38
  fuck and he's like, Frankie's like, you guys know, I build things
• 1:03:42
  for a living, right, Like, I'm very good at it. If
• 1:03:45
  I couldn't just build a bridge here with all of this material hanging around,
• 1:03:49
  that'd be pretty sad, and ups like, yeah, you really paying a
• 1:03:52
  lot of attention to the details, though, I am surprised by that.
• 1:03:58
  So this is when they go into the bedroom of Pirona. They were not
• 1:04:04
  expecting this room to look like what it looked like, clearly, and she
• 1:04:10
  uses her negative ghosts to take them all out, except it turns out that
• 1:04:19
  they just straight up don't work on us up And at first he pretends that
• 1:04:29
  they work, and he manages to get Perona walking away because she's so certain
• 1:04:35
  the threats taken care of, no problem, And as she's walking away,
• 1:04:43
  he uses his badass sling shotting skills to fire salt into the mouths of all
• 1:04:49
  of the adorable animals and they all release their spirit. She's got some behind
• 1:04:56
  her still, but like there were a lot others in the room all taken
• 1:05:00
  out, So Pirona figures that what happened was that when she shot a ghost
• 1:05:06
  at him. It looked like it hit, but it didn't, and he
• 1:05:11
  faked it. So she tries again, and once again, nothing happens,
• 1:05:19
  and I was like, is it supposed to be that he just has such
• 1:05:25
  low self esteem already? And that kind of is a little bit. So
• 1:05:33
  she asks, why don't my attacks do anything to you? And he yells,
• 1:05:39
  I just have a naturally negative personality, you guys, Honestly, this
• 1:05:46
  is so good. It is so dumb, but I love it so much.
• 1:05:53
  She's like, she's using like, you know, depression as a weapon,
• 1:05:58
  and somebody who has lived with depression their whole lives is like, really,
• 1:06:03
  oh yeah, Oh I'm a bad person who doesn't deserve to live.
• 1:06:08
  I should just kill myself. That's Wednesday for me, sweetie. That is
• 1:06:12
  not getting through. I don't care. And Pirona meanwhile, is completely flipped
• 1:06:18
  out and she's like, how can this be? All humans just have a
• 1:06:23
  desire to do better and strive for the future, and if he doesn't have
• 1:06:30
  that, and she gets really emotional and seems like truly upset that us up
• 1:06:42
  is living like that, like this was such a delightful, unexpected turn of
• 1:06:48
  events that she's going, oh, honey, if you feel that way when
• 1:06:54
  I shoot a ghost at you, that's one thing, But you just walk
• 1:06:57
  around like that. I am so sorry. Oh my god, you've gotten
• 1:07:03
  you can do it. You know. I believe in you, like believe
• 1:07:09
  in yourself. And it is hysterical. I just was not seeing this coming.
• 1:07:15
  All of the animals that are like still alive, she yells, don't
• 1:07:18
  give up, and they start to like chant it with her, and they're
• 1:07:21
  all turning this corner and suddenly on USAP side. Except he doesn't like appreciate
• 1:07:30
  this. He says something like, don't pity me, And I was like,
• 1:07:33
  I mean, maybe there's definitely pity in there, but also I think
• 1:07:38
  there's just some empathy. I mean, it's amazing that Pirona is so touched
• 1:07:44
  by this. I'm like, do I ship Pirona and USAP? Now?
• 1:07:49
  I don't feel like they'd be a bad couple, honestly, But anyway,
• 1:07:56
  all of the other dudes, USAP is like, I am going to handle
• 1:08:00
  this chick. You guys go ahead, and they're all like, wow,
• 1:08:05
  I can't believe it. He looks actually kind of badass right now. So
• 1:08:14
  veronas she's she calls him you little turd, and she comes forward at him
• 1:08:25
  again as they all run away, and when he turns around, all the
• 1:08:30
  animals have gathered around, and she says, that's okay, I'll just pound
• 1:08:36
  you to death, which I know isn't that isn't what they meant, but
• 1:08:42
  that's how I heard it, and I kept thinking death by snoo snow,
• 1:08:45
  and I felt like maybe USA wouldn't be mad about it. So then we
• 1:08:50
  have the final scene of this episode truly goes on forever, but it is
• 1:08:57
  the wedding and Absalom is there with an unconscious Nammie who is being held up
• 1:09:03
  by a zombie and her jaw is being worked to answer what the priest says,
• 1:09:10
  and he says it's time to kiss the bride, and Absalom leans forward,
• 1:09:16
  and as he's leaning in to kiss her excruciatingly slowly, we keep cutting
• 1:09:24
  over to the three dudes running up the hall headed in his direction, and
• 1:09:30
  he is like very nervous about the kiss, So that sort of draws it
• 1:09:33
  out, is like his excitement and this expression of like bashfulness, and then
• 1:09:39
  how slow he's going with it because he seems really nervous, very very weird
• 1:09:45
  energy overall, but the episode ends before any of the dudes actually reach the
• 1:09:49
  room. So it's sort of funny because I think that, like what it's
• 1:09:56
  supposed to be is that we are hoping those guys get there before he get
• 1:10:00
  like kisses an Ammie. But I mean, I wouldn't like buy into the
• 1:10:06
  ceremony either way, so I don't consider that kiss to be like particularly significant.
• 1:10:13
  And he already assaulted her while she was naked in the shower, so
• 1:10:16
  this seems extremely tame in comparison to that, So I'm not really that wrapped
• 1:10:21
  up in it either for that reason, but I understand what it is that
• 1:10:27
  they're trying to do here, so I'm over time. I have to let
• 1:10:30
  you guys go, but I really appreciate you all enjoying this arc so much.
• 1:10:35
  What a fucking weird story, and I will be seeing you again very
• 1:10:40
  soon with a new episode. Until then, to the Loue Motherfucker's That was
