  Speaker 1: This is an Unspoiled Network podcast. Okay, this is spoil Me,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: covering one Piece episodes six seventy nine through six point
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: eighty one. Dashing onto the scene the Chief of Staff
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: of the Revolutionary Army Sabo, the Devil's Trap a dress
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Rosa extermination plan, and the five hundred million berry Man
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: target Uslon in these episodes. So it turns out that
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: there is a tool by which we can control absolutely
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: everybody's actions, and not only that, we can keep them
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: from being able to communicate from the outside world and
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: prevent them from being able to leave Dress Rosa. I
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: know I've talked a lot about Sugar being op, but
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: I'm starting to think that Di Flamingo might take the prize.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Welcome to spoil Me, Welcome to the show everyone. I
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: am Natasha. Thank you very much to Florian for commissioning
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: this episode. Yeah, guys, do Flamingo can do way too
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: much with this power. This is bonkers. I'm very much
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: starting to feel like Lufy has been ripped off.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: I just I.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Can't help but feel like if we have got people
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: who with these like these composites, you know that they
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: have powers that are not just their their like outright power,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: but they also lend them this like additional, nuanced way
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: of using said power.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: It feels kind of like a.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Lot to me, And I guess it's possible that eventually
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: we're going to find out that there are additional ways
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: that Lofy can use his power that he hasn't figured
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: out himself yet. But I just feel like it's a
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: little bit late in the game to try and introduce
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: something new for him. And I don't know, maybe I'm wrong,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's going to maybe once, like if it happens,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I'll be like, no, you know what, that works. But
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: from where I'm sitting right now, it does just sort
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: of feel a little bit like how comes so many
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: other people who eat devil fruits manage to get these
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: like extremely versatile skill sets that extend in all these directions.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: And I have to assume that, you know, speaking literally,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: A lot of that just has to do with the
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: fact that when Odo was first writing this story, maybe
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: he didn't have like a clear idea of how he
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: wanted devil fruits to work, and once he began to
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: like zero in on more powers later on, he started
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: to be like, it wouldn't it be interesting if or
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe like it might have been just that
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: he didn't fully think through the ways that certain things.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Could be used.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: And maybe that means that we've missed the boat for
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: giving Loufy additional powers. Maybe it means that, like now
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: it's sort of resulting in some changes coming up. But
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: it just does feel like he got kind of uh
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: overlooked just being able to turn into rubber. Most of
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the ways that Lufy makes up for that is by
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: using hockey and the rubber power. I guess, like gears
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: two and three are supposed to be like an additional
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: skill set with the rubber fruit, Like, we haven't seen
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: him use those in a while now that I think
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: about it, he really does use hockey more than anything.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: But you know, I don't know, maybe I'm just getting
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: hung up on it, but I just I found the
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: variety of ways that do Flamingo can use his ability
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: here to be a little overwhelming once you realize like
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: how intense they.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Are, because they are so perfectly.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Synced up to control a large group of people. You know,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: it just feels like somebody sat down and thought through
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: how do you control the populace? And then they made
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: all of the powers around that, and then dofl Mingo
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: found them. Florian says, what would be an upgrade for
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Lufy's powers? That's an interesting question, Like, you know, it's
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: difficult to say because if you're rubber, like you know,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: there are so many ways in which we use rubber,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: But it would require him being able to like manage
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: his body in a much more I think that's like
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: kind of the answer is that if he were able
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: to micromanage his body, so to speak, if he were
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: able to zero in on small areas and handle just
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: those those areas to like change shape and whatnot, that
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: might be kind of helpful. For now, Lufy's sort of
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: a blunt force object.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: He manages to blow up areas of himself, to be bigger,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: to be balloonish, to be flat and catch thing. It's
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: he is a big picture sort of guy, and what
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: I keep thinking of are sort of more minute versions
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: of what he can currently do. But I feel like
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: that's just not really in character for him.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: You know. Part of what I'm wondering.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Is if the way that the powers manifest ever really
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: has to do with like the personality of who's using them,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: because I could see do Flamingo's influence if he is
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: just like this ambitious medalomaniac type, if you know, his
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: power sort of adept, or if he discovers ways to
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: use them that hadn't been discovered before just because of
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: who he is and what his priorities are. And same
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: thing with Lufy somebody else. The devil fruit power for
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: rubber might have a whole other version of use for
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: this ability, you know. Florian says, like a mister fantastic
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: and probably yeah, I don't have a lot of familiarity
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: with mister fantastic, but that is sort of what I'm thinking.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: I think so.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Yes, Seraphim says, most devil fruits have some insane ways
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: to use them if you're clever enough. The fruits that
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: are just straight up unfairly busted for how much you
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: can do are mostly just laws fruit, which is flat
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: out called the op op fruit. Oh I never noticed.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: It's the op op overpower over power fruit.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, Saraphim, however, I never put that together.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: I said too a few episodes ago that do Flamingo
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: called it the opopi fruit, which I thought was weird
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: because I thought it was the op op fruit. And
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: I never, like I said out loud that he calls
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: it that, and I never made that connection even so, Wow,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: ye girl can be so very dense and sugars, which
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: yet that one is ridiculous. Is seraphim He uses gear
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: to pretty often. It's just reached a point he can
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: go in and out of it so fast he doesn't
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: bother calling it out every time. Oh okay, Sara says,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking plastic Man, the DC hero, so op Batman's
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: contingency plan for him is just a list of ways
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: to try and slow him down, because not even Batman
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: can think of a way to permanently take him out.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: I haven't heard about plastic Man. That's interesting. That'd be
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: kind of a fun uh. I always like the idea
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: of taking the villains that are sort of overlooked and
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: like bonkers to use in movies because we're so used
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: to the usual suspects all the time, you know, okay.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Ser Fran says, for laws, fruit in Japanese is the
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: op opi no me, which is pronounced op Florian says,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: there's also a last girl from the Incredibles. There's some
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: rubber powers out there. Yeah, that's true, And like you know,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: going for Gears two and three, it felt like he
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: incorporated heat to make pressure in such a way that
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: I don't really know how that works as well. So
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: when I'm trying to like rainstorm ways to power him
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: up in a way, I think that I'm limiting myself
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: to just things that you could use rubber for, and
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I'm not incorporating additional aspects like heat, because I feel
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: like it's sort of unclear to me how he does that.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: And if that's something that he can do, then what
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: else could he incorporate that would alter the rubber Because
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: that's sort of like it's the rubber is the material
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: that he's made out of that he is taking advantage of,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: but bringing another element to it to make that rubber
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: behave a certain way.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: That's that additional element.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: I don't really know where the ceiling is on that,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: if that makes sense.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: So I don't know.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: But okay, so let's start off with the chief of
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: the Revolutionary Sabo Revolutionary Army. I would like to report
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: back that Sabo isn't really hot. I thought he was
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: hot from that that profile that we got that one time,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: but that was just sort of his badass superhero moment,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: and it.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Is not what I was hoping.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: That is by no means denigrating him, because he is
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: also meant to be somewhat young. But we have this
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: this like, you know, him getting out of there with
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: his flame flame fruit powers, and then we jump over
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: once again to Oosup telling all of these guys who
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: have just been released from their slavery to attack the
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: factory behind him. And it's so strange because the way
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: that things work, everybody here is like worshiping Sabo about
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Oosop and cheering for him, and they are willing to
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: just like carry out his wishes immediately, but.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Later on.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: People really turn on him very quickly. And I can't
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: decide how much this rings true. I think it rings
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: somewhat true, just because such a huge population of the
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: people that were just turned back to humans are pirates,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: and so a lot of like, despite you guys know that,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: like at the start of the show, I had a
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: real issue with the fact that like pirates just seemed
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: to mean whatever at the time, because our guys are pirates,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: and so a lot of people SiGe eye them, but
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: they don't think that word means the same that other
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: people think it means. And in this context here for
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: this episode, it's very clearly like the way that they
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: that pirates are being portrayed other than our straw hats
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: is all of them have probably like some lower intelligence
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: and also are greedier and like lacking in morals, and
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: they so like to a point, I can see them
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: just immediately being like, yeah, let's go after this guy,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: especially when it seems like they are on complete lockdown
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: and Do Flamingo has so much power over them and
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: what they can do. On the other hand, it is
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: difficult for me to comprehend believing that Do Flamingo is
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: going to give you the payout that he has promised
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: after you have been so thoroughly duped that you were
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: enslaved and people's memories were wiped for decades.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Like how are you really? Are you really?
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: But the problem that I have when I ask this
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: question is that Trump got elected two times, and if
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: we've learned anything, it's that people do not learn anything. Unfortunately,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: the lesson to take away is that we don't take
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: away a lesson, and maybe people are going to be
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: that fucking stupid. Maybe they are going to fall for it.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: You know, I just like it really is that there
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: are so many things like this, you guys, in fiction
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: that I run up against and I start to call
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: it a plot hole, and then I have to look
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: at our reality and I have to admit this isn't
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: a plot hole. This is human nature, which is very,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: very dumb. And so I'm going to cop to that
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: and say, like, I think, probably this is legit, you guys. Look,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna do this small aside. I know a lot
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: of people listen to this show for escapism and whatnot,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: and certain times there's no avoiding that the themes within
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: an episode are going to get kind of heavy. This
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: is not really the episode where that feels relevant to
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: the plot of what I'm covering. But it is January
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: twenty eighth, twenty twenty four. Trump has been in office
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: for eight days, and the sheer number of executive orders
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: that have been passed or are being passed or presented
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: that are radically fundamentally changing the landscape of living. For like,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: the average American is so out of control that I
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: could I don't even know where to start, but I
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: feel like I have enough of a little platform that
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: I have to do something. And so every now and then,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: I'm just going to drop something that I think people
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: should like check out or look into. My recommendation as
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: of right now. And this is something that I have
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: talked about with Miles on the show. That I do
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: with him for Miss Born is don't try to like
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: learn about everything at once or comprehend everything at once,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: because part of the strategy here, I believe, is purposely
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: to make us feel so overwhelmed that we shut down
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: and don't participate, which is very effective.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: It works.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: I certainly was like teetering on that. I won't lie
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: find one particular cause that, for you is something you
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: feel really passionately about, and zero in on just what's
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: going on with that, and if that's still too big,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: zero in on just going on with that within your
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: state or even your county, and try to do something
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: on that level. For me, it's abortion rights. I really
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: feel like all of our qualities of life begins with
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: whether or not we have control over our own bodies
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: and if we have the resources to raise children safely, and.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Just like everything.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Starts there to me, So for me, abortion rights is
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: a major major issue. And I have been subscribed to
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: the substack for Jessica Valenti called Abortion every Day, and
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: it is a daily but also she does do like
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: a weekly like rundown of news that is coming out,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: and it's like, as you can imagine, recently been absolutely
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: bonkers and saying stuff, and there has been like, uh,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: they have changed up the laws regarding harassment of patients
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: outside of clinics to make it easier for people to
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: not only harass and physically intimidate patients, but also to
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: sue the patients if the person harassing them is injured.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Lots of things in this arena to just sort of
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: open the door to intimidation tactics. And that's like setting
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: aside all of the restrictions regarding getting any sort of
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: abortion when there is a problem with the fetus itself
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: being viable or the mother's life being at risk, which
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: is resulting in a lot of women dying from sepsis
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: because they are the doctors are afraid of getting their
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: licenses taken away if they go into early before it's
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: really considered a danger to her life. And this, especially
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: in Texas, has been a ballooning issue. So I recommend
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: today go sign up for the sub stack. Abortion every
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Day by Jessica Valenti. It is extremely well broken down.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Everything that she shares is linked to a source directly,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: and it is just she does so much work to
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: make the information organized and accessible and update as things
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: change on any given bill that I find it just indispensable.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: So that's my recommendation for today. Abortion every Day by
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Jessica VILENTI just have to find some way to push
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: back guys because they have just cut off all I
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: think it's all Medicaid or Medicare. I think it's medicaid
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: in Illinois. There is like they are not able to
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: access it, and so this is allegedly going to last
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: for several months. We're talking like four million people who
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: suddenly who are low income, elderly, pregnant children who have
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: no access to healthcare because of some changes that are
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: being made there. And the reasoning behind this was to
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: weed out wokeness. Was the the unbelievable remark about the
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: reason why we have to like change up our healthcare system.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: So that's my soapbox for today, is just that stay
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: aware and informed selectively.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Or you will break your brain. It will be too much.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: I promise you.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: There is enough for you to zero in on one thing.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: There's lots of people, and if we all just sort
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: of pick a cause, I think we will manage a
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: lot better and maybe despair will not overtake us so easily.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: And if you are somebody listening to this who voted
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: for Trump, fuck off and don't listen to this show.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: I don't like you and I don't want you here.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: Goodbye.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Okay, good glad we got that straightened out. So this
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: attack on the factory, it's really kind of funny because
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Treble is literally just standing there at first, like hey,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: stay away from there, and he doesn't make a move
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: to defend it or anything, but he's just like all right.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: He goes and gets Sugar, who is still passed out.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: I'm sort of assuming she wakes up again. It's still
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: like everybody stays as a toy, right, It's just that
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: once she puts them, if she were to wake up
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: and make somebody a toy again, then she would have
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: to be knocked out yet again. So this is just
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: like gonna be a Hopefully she's knocked out for the
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: duration of this fight, because if she comes to again,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: she is able to just like turn people so easily.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: It's just the tap of a hand, and it is
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: I that's the part that I think is the most
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: alarming is how effortless this power seems to be. So
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: I just really don't want her involved in things at all.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: I really want her to be like sidelined the way
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: that Lufy is off in sidelined for the of big fights.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: And I also, you know, you.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Guys I said before about how Luthy being involved in
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: this arena fight, it was him being sidelined, and it
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: has been nice that he got out of that fight
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: with some time to spare. Like granted, by the time
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: he got out of it, there was like what two
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: episodes left of fighting in the arena before it was over,
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: but still it was just a.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: Better way to sideline him.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Like, as much as I didn't really enjoy the whole
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: arena storyline, I will say that it felt more interesting
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: than just having him like stuck between two buildings, just
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: as for.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: Example, I'll just say that.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: So this uh like trouble gets involved with fighting back
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: against these guys and he uses like the way that
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: he uses his power is so weird because it's like
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: a long streamer of glue and he grips everybody up
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: and in this one long strand of it and then
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: like whips the whole thing filled with bodies around like
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: a banner, like a big CVS receipt. And it's just
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: really interesting because his ability is so it's very gross,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: as we know, but it does kind of lend itself
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: to some weird visuals that I can't help but enjoy
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: a little bit.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: So then we have.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Uh Koala, Sabo and Rebecca and they have just met
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: up helped me out with the name of this fish
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: man guys, it's the I can't remember his name. He
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: has this like weird preoccupation about hiding the injury to
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: his hand that he sustained, and I don't remember if
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: it's that Rebecca injured him and so he's embarrassed about
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: that or what it is.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Oh, his name is Hack.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: I saw that word on the back of his shirt.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: But usually, like what's written on people's shirts has nothing
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: to do with them as a character, so I was
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: not expecting that to be even relevant at all.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: But okay, cool, and.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this guy, the way that he behaves with Kowala,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: there's a familiarity there, so clearly these guys are somewhat buds.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: He broke his hand trying to punch Bartow's barrier. Oh bartelameo,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: you guys. I know that I go off a little
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: bit too much about how much I love him every episode,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: but I'm just gonna go ahead and do it again,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: because frankly, that guy is so great. What a fun character,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: everything about his goofy self, it's wonderful. The way he
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: reacts when he meets Robin and then puts together once
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: he's looking at us Up. His first response to seeing
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: him is just who's this guy? What the hell does
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: he have to do with anything? It's very much like,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: you know, like you don't even go here kind of energy.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: And then he.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Stops and he thinks about Sooga King and the poster,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: and he transposes how this guy looks and his long
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: nose Tosabo and realizes that's who this is, and the
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: way he absolutely loses his shit. I it didn't occur
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: to me that Usup's real face isn't on any of
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: these posters. Even now. Now I'm assuming that will change
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: because we have obviously do Flamingo blowing his entire spot
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: up at the end of these episodes, so I have
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: to assume that now we've got us up proper on
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: our posters, like from here on out. But yeah, I
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: really really enjoy that he was. It's especially funny that
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Bartolomeo does this so easily because I think Loofy and
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Chopper both still don't know what's like that Oosap is
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Soga Kings or Soja King, sniper King whatever. I don't
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: think that either of them have put it together because
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: they are both like incredibly gullible individuals. I you know what, guys,
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: I'm just realizing, where are Chopper and Nami and all
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: of them?
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: What are they up to right now?
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: We haven't seen them in a long time because they
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: were like over by the island when do Flamingo like
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: starts to attack them and then Sanji interferes and Sonji
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: heads back toward them. But like, we haven't checked in
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: with any of them for now. It's got to be
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: at least like three episodes of coverage, so like almost
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: ten episodes of the show. I think I'm I may
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: be off by like by a bit. But Florence says
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: they went off to the next island Zoo Zoo. But
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: the big mom showed up and we haven't heard anything.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Oh right, I remember now that we saw that huge
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: ship as they were like right, right, right, okay, huh,
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: all right, well they have been really just kind of
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: shoved off to the side and back burnered.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: But what can you do?
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: So then we have the the the moment with the
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Wika and the Samurai where they get attacked because these
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: dudes who are angry at Do Flamingo see him in
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: his very disguise and they think he's him, so they
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: come at him. And it takes a moment for them
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: to understand why everybody's turning against him, because they're like,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: supposedly this is meant to be like Do Flamingo's stronghold,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: so why are his people coming at him in this fashion?
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: And Wicka realizes, oh my god, they must be against him,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: which means that our plan has worked out. We succeeded.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: And it's very cute. She gets so excited and he
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: takes off his disguise and I appreciate Also, I just
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: want to mention, like, you know, my feelings on the
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Samurai have been very uh mid Sometimes he's been fun.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: A lot of times I've kind of been like eh,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: But I will say that him and Wicka together I
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: really like because she is so much more direct that
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: it's a really nice foil to the way he tends
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: to behave. And I like that he's listening to her
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: because we had that whole thing earlier where she was
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: trying to explain something to him and he was not
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: tuning in at all, thinking that he was protecting her,
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: you know, but it was still very frustrating because they
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: wound up in situations that they could have avoided. And
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: here it I'm maybe overstating it, but it seems as
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: if he has learned his lesson a little bit and
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: is prioritizing listening to what she says now, which is
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: refreshing considering how one of our major characters never ever
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: seems to learn from anything that he does wrong ever,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: So you know, that's nice. So that's like, that's most
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: of this first of the three episodes, and we jump
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: back into the fight between uh because like we knew
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: that Do Flamingo wasn't actually dead and he, it turns out,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: is like going to make he he makes like a
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: model of himself out of threads. Look, that's that's a
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: that's a bit much. It would be one thing if
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: he could make a body double out of threads that
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: looked like a figure made of threads that could also.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: Like fight.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: It looks like this thing doesn't really move, but it
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: does take on the colors of and like, so it
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: looks very, very realistic, this depiction that he has made.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: I just think that's a bit too far. Already, with
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: the other ways that his ability could be used, it
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: was feeling kind of far, but I was going with it.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Once we get to.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: That, that's really when I started to be like, okay,
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: enough already, you know, like the what at first I
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: had thought when you see this like weird figure, was like,
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: does he trap people like spider silk? You know for
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: a second, because you don't fully see what's happening there.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: And No, it turns out that this is just like
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: him creating a second version of himself that can be
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: beheaded and nothing happens. It's just a funny little gag surprise. Meanwhile, No,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: it can move.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: It speaks. I forgot about this.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: It's mouth moves and it speaks. This guy. I'm trying
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: to make sure that I don't miss anything that he
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: says here, because he's talking about how like the country
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: is going to be spiraling to chaos, now that he
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: realizes that the toys have been freed and we have
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: members of the Revolutionary Army nosing around two which I
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: don't know how he found that out. Somebody must have
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: reported him about Sabo, but yeah, this uh weird. The
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: way that this goes is that he tells Law, I'm
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: gonna have to use the bird cage. Law knows exactly
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: what this means and looks really really distressed.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: And do Flamingo.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Basically like kicks everybody out of the palace by using
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: this uh pika, his weird stone man, stone fruit power whatever.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: I'm assuming that the reason behind this, because I'll be honest,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: this was sort of a weird one to me. But
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: because like you know, you've got all of the guys
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: that you're trying to deal with in your hands.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: They're right in front of you.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you just handle them here? But I think
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: that it's supposed to be I'm not able to like
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: to take on all of them at once, so I'm
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: going to get them away from me so that they
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: can't jump me, and then I'm going to sick all
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: the other folks on them so that they will take
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: care of these guys on my behalf, which really isn't
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: a bad plan, But I also do enjoy that it
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: kind of displays that he is intimidated.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: This to me signals that, like he is afraid of
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: what they could do because they have some real power.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: Evidently.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: I like that anytime that a baddie who's got a
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: lot of power has any concerns about dealing with straw hats,
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: I feel like that's a bit of a battle one already.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: So Pica knocks them all out of the castle and
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: they go flying and the I think the key that
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: falls is supposed to be the key to the the
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: what do you call it? The factory? If I'm not mistaken,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: it's like kind of a weird The way that it's
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: talked about is like the there's no getting in there
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: without it. But I don't know why there's only the one.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: It's the key to Las Shackles, says Sara FM. Okay,
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: there's a mention from somebody who is at the the
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Smile Factory. Later, thank goodness, we're locked in here, I think,
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: is what the guy says. So I think that's what
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: I'm getting confused with. And they also mentioned that the
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: like dome that covers the factory is made out of
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: ceprism stone, so it's basically unbreakable. As much as it
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: looks like it will shatter really really easily, that is
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: not how it would work. Sorry, and okay, so last shackles.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: I love it. At some point, like I think Lufy
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: says to him like they'll fall off eventually, like just
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: leave them, and he has to scream at him that
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: is not how this works. The idea that they'll just
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: eventually fall off is so fucking hilarious, Like do you
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: what do you think he sluffs them off like they're
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: just what like a dead.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: Skin or what do you mean?
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: Okay, the factory is also lucked, but that's a different
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: thing since sarahrom okay, cool. So this uh the way
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: that do Flamingo handles everybody on dress Rosa. Initially, I
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: understand why he does it the way that he does.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: He has to demonstrate his power and really emphasize to
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: everybody that they are under his control so utterly. So
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: I want to make it clear that I get why
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: he's doing this, but I will say I think it
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: was a mistake to do it this way because it
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: seems like he's really shown his hand in regards to
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: the way he influenced and controlled the King Riku. It's
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: like as soon as people begin to experience this, they
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: instantly recognize, oh my god, this is what must have
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: happened to him, this is what happened to Ricu that time.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: He didn't want to be going after, he didn't mean
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: to do. Flamingo was making him do this, which I
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: feel like as soon as you let that cat out
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: of the bag and let everybody know that this was
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: like a control tactic. And also he puts up on
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: the billboard that like, Riku is one of the targets
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: that they should attack, so letting everybody know Riku.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: Is still alive.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: Also when apparently a lot of people thought that he
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: was still dead. I feel like what dolfl Mingo has
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: done is just completely let the cat out of the
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: bag on every single deceit that he has done. And
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: I feel like you got if you are wanting people
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: to stay within your control at all after you reach
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: a certain point, because like right now, he's just using
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: the fear tactic of the bird case and attacking each
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: other with his power, like he's using that to keep
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: everybody in line and that is all well and good
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: and as long as it can be sustained, as long
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: as it lasts. But I feel like there's not going
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: to be a single person on this island who doesn't
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: want you taken out. Once things like kind of calm
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: down for a moment, and I, oh my god, Florence
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: is the unraveling of Dophie.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: Get it. I hate you so much?
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: But yeah, so I just I think that he really,
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: really like lets too much be revealed, and it's probably
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: going to wind up being.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: A bit of a problem for him.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: Maybe not, you know, maybe I'm overestimating it, but I
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: just it would be one thing if you just let people.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: Know that, like somebody was still alive.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: It would be one thing if you just let people
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: know that, like maybe Rika wasn't in control of his
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: own actions. Like all of those things are a as
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: an individual reveal, maybe people can get past them. But
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: once you start to put all of those together and
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: they begin to see how completely they have been played,
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: I feel like now you're starting to get into territory
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: where folks aren't going to be able to like make
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: excuses anymore. That said, you know the way that he
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: sicks everybody against each other seems to be effective.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of like regular townsfolk who
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: don't seem to be falling for it. But it's also
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: how many of them are there versus how many like
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: ne'er do well pirates are there. Will they actually be
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: able to stand up to these guys and then stop
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: them in a they're not professional fighters? What kinds of
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: weapons do they have? You know, all all these sorts
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: of questions. So I'm trying to make sure that I
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: don't skip anything because they just got thrown out of
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: the palace from where I'm watching right now. Okay, right,
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: so we have the bird cage being put into place,
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: which looks really really weird. It was so first of all,
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: I will acknowledge that when he says, like, I have
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: to do the bird cage, I was like, you know
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: the hit.
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: Nineteen ninety four film with Robin Williams. I think it
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: was later than that, but you.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: Know, there was a very funny movie. I know now
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: that it really is like incredibly problematic, but at the
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: time it seemed so.
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know what, I guess.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: Progressive, and now it's like so sad. But that was
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: what I thought of first thing, so I just wanted
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: to acknowledge that. But yeah, they the way that this
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: thing works, it's like the wires are so close together
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: that you can't get past them, Like it's not like
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: you can slide between them. And also they're very very sharp,
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: they're like wires, they're very like you know, it's mostly
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: I have been seeing what he's been doing as sort
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: of strings, threads, you know. The way that this scene
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: plays out, it took on a very different sort of
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: look and was like razor wire to me, because this
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: guy is running, he sees them, doesn't fully like comprehend
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: what they are, and he runs right into them and
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: you see all of this blood spurt in lines across
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: his face from where he ran into it, because it's.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: That strong and that sharp.
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: And immediately after this, somebody else tries to fire a
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: cannon at it, which it just slices the cannonballs into pieces,
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: which is bananas. So yeah, no getting out. And then
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: in addition to all of this, we have the reveal
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: that it also interferes with like communications.
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: When our guys are trying to like.
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: Radio out, they can't get a hold of anybody because
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: of the bird cage interfering, which it could be magic
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: that you just attribute all of this too, and I
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: wouldn't really have a problem with that, but I will
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: say that I kind of feel if you just made
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: a big cage of wires, this is like a Faraday
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: cage sort of effect, right that it's opposed to interfere
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: with that kind of thing. So it was one of
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: those moments where like, once it's revealed how this works,
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: my immediate reaction was like, oh, yeah, that makes sense.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: You know, I just sort of went with it immediately.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: Liam was just yeah, I buy this.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, lots of bad news for our guys who
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: are trying to communicate because the Marines are, you know,
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: obviously starting to turn on them. Meanwhile, the huge plateau
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: that the palace is on, I think they call it
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: just the King's Plateau is beginning to like shake really
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: really violently. And I was watching this like what is
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: it that we're doing? So Pika with his stone powers
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: actually can make the palace run away from the plateau.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: This is hilarious, you guys. I mean just the imagery
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: of it like up and running away is and you know,
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: the smile factory is well like all of this stuff.
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: This is so fucking funny to me.
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: I love this idea that he could just basically run away,
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: run away with like an entire enormous stone building. Meanwhile,
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: as this is all happening, these guys are being controlled
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: with the bird cage. So it's like this like absolute
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: chaos of buildings like moving and collapsing in response to
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: the palace moving, and then people attacking each other in
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: the streets, and a lot of them are crying and
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: like begging whatever this is controlling them to stop. We've
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: got other buildings that are being lifted up into the
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: air because there's like this field that's being that's rising,
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: and so buildings are turning full on sideways and people
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: are falling out of the buildings. It's it's absolute, complete
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: and utter case. It's bonkers. And the one that I
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: think is, uh, where the palace is now? I think
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: is Flower Hill, if I'm not mistaken, that's where because
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: he basically just like he can't make the castle sit
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: in mid air, the stone doesn't float, but you can
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: make the means of getting up to the castle so
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: difficult that nobody would bother.
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: And that is the uh.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: Means that it seems he has taken here where he
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: lifts it up onto a plateau that is so high
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: that the like way that you would be able to attack,
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: you'd have to be a mountain climber to pull this off,
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: which I have to agree is a pretty effective means
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: of getting yourself away from people. I just the idea
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: that you're we've all seen like Howell's moving castle type
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: animation you know before, It's a very different feel when
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: something is completely untethered to the ground. This with it
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: being something it feels almost like the building is wading
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: through the earth and it can't fully escape from the earth.
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know, guys, there was just something about this
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: that I found really really amusing to watch, and also
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: the idea that this could be done and all of
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: these people living on this island aren't aware that this
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: is how it can work. Is It's just they were
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: living in such close proximity to terrible things for so
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: long without ever realizing how bad it was, and now
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: it's all happening at once, and just how you know
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: what it actually is a fair comparison to just like
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: the first eight days of Trump's second term as president.
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: So then We're gonna jump into the uh, the five
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: hundred million barry Man target Uslon. It's so funny, you guys,
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: because Do Flamingo announces who he wants everybody to go
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: after and take down on his behalf, and he says,
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: there's two ways this can stop. Either you all die
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: out or you meet my conditions.
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: It's never you kill me, that's not even on the table.
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: It's you guys die out. Grim So he gives his
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: breakdown of the people that he wants taken down. It's
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: a really weird system, friends, because it's it's like up
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: to five stars for the most dangerous person, but there's
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: no four star people. We get one star, two star,
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: three star, and five star. And the designations are very
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: weird in my opinion. But I'm gonna jump over to
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: the uh. Oh my god, I forgot about Bartolomea just
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: straight up saying to Robin, can I be your slave?
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: Bless him? M let's see twelve fools. So the following
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: individuals will be your ticket out. And he has a
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: huge screen up. Let me introduce the one stars, and
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: first it's Rebecca one star. That's fair for her absolutely. Secondly,
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: Nico Robin.
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: One star for her. I feel like that's low.
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: She's not like a fighter fighter, but she will fuck
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: you up, and these guys aren't ready. One star for
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: Keenuman the Samurai, I'm not really sure, to be honest,
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: whether one star is fair for him. We haven't seen
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: a lot of fight from him. It's been a lot
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: of running around and you know the I can't remember
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: the fight if we've seen any from him on Caesar's
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: Island or what. So I preserve judgment on that one.
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: And then Viola, former Princess of Dress Rosa, one star,
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: which I think is fair because she does have an
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: incredible power where she could like see you coming, but
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: she has to tune in to do that, and she
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: also isn't much of a fighter. But then one star
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: Cyborg Frankie. That is insulting. Sir Frankie just like took
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: on forty people at the entrance to the factory and
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: only just barely got laid out.
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was reason that he finally got knocked on.
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: This dude went hard.
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: Now, granted it may be a result of the fact
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: that he got knocked out that he's been downgraded to
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: one star because it's sort of like, how hard will
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: it be that guy has already been through it today?
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: But I don't think so, and I resent it, and
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to register the fact that I resent it.
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: And then we go on to the two Stars. First
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: we've got uh.
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: Kiros.
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: I feel like that's not a good call. Granted, Kiros
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: wasn't a gladiator when he only had one leg. He
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: had two when he was this incredible fighter. It's possible
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: that maybe now that he's only down to one leg,
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: that it would be like much easier to take him out.
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: But to be completely honest, the way that Kiros is picked,
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: it doesn't seem like he has been at all affected
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: by losing a leg. It doesn't seem to have done
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: anything to him.
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: So I don't know. Then let's see uh.
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: I wish that because like we see the stars and
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: we see the names, but I don't get these subtitles
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: of exactly how much money they are going to get.
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: So the next one is two Stars, Zoro, You're dumb? Uh?
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: Saraphim says.
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: The Stars are less a threat level and more how
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: much is Dophy pissed at them?
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: One? I think that if that is.
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: The case, it's still very stupid. It's very poorly thought out.
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: I stand by it either way, like it's badly done.
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: And yeah, one of the guys out there is like,
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: wasn't he the invincible Gladiator about Kiros? Like Violet was
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: Princess Viola, but she's with the family again, you guys,
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: all of this stuff that he's just like completely telling
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: people that he could have kept secret a little longer.
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: And now let's move on to the head, Honchos, I
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: present you with the three stars and Chief of Staff
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: of the Revolutionary Army Sabo. And I mean now that
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: he has a flame flame fruit that seems fair, but
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: he doesn't have great control over it yet as we
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: see then straw hat loofy obviously.
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: But again I was already a little bit like.
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: This is weird because like I would think he'd be
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: higher Trafalgar law. Also just three stars, really you went
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: after that guy personally, I would think that would be
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: much higher ranking for you. And then king three stars.
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: And then of course, because of the way that this
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: is set up, you guys know what's coming us up
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: is on the ground listening to all of this and
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: is like, wow, I wasn't even mentioned that's nice, and
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: then he goes on to say, so, now we've come
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: to the person that I hate most of all, and
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: this one in particular is the guy that you should
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: direct all of your complaints to because he's the reason
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: that you've been forced to.
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: Play this game.
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: You'll get a hearty reward five hundred million berries and
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: it is Oosop. And it is so funny because, first
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: of all, guys, he's got the real picture of Oosop.
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: This is not like, you know, the the Sniper King.
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: I I know that it's supposed to be because this
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: dude shocked Sugar, and Sugar being shocked has meant that
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: everybody turns back into humans. So he has been the
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: one that caused me the most grief. I get that's
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: what this is, right, But the idea that you need
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: to put that kind of bounty on his head when
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: he accidentally startled her just because she insisted on feeding
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: him that barry like she brought that shit on herself
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: and he was literally fully tied up and beaten at
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: the time to the point where he could barely like
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: see or speak or anything. Putting him at the top
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: of the list is the dumbest move I have ever
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: heard De Flamingo. My main irritation with this is that
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: it really doesn't feel like you are taking shit seriously
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: at all. I cannot help but be offended. Wow, really,
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: it just it feels so insulting because the people that
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: are really a.
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: Threat, it's just not about that for you.
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: I guess it's just about and and for and like
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: what he didn't even.
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: Sure, fine, do the dumbest thing possible, I guess enjoy
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: So of course, poor Oosap is like Jesus fucking Christ,
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: and do Flamingo really is like trying to enforce on everybody.
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: You guys can take some time to decide how you
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: want to handle this, but I AM going to keep
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: on reaking havoc until you guys take out these people.
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: So the more you drag this out, the more destruction
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: you're bringing on yourselves. And I also want to acknowledge
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: that this guy, I know that this is just like
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: the conceit of the show, but you know that I
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: love to sort of step back and consider things in
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: a much more like pedantic way. Can we all stop
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: and consider that do Flamingo Do Flamingo had these like
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: pictures of our friends these Hunger Games style graphics with
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: names and prizes ready to go in his Like he
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: had like a little Canva folder full of all of
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: the information about all of the guys that he hates
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: that he was just ready to like pop out on
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: a moment's notice. I just think that's really really funny.
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: I love the idea of him like, as he makes enemies,
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: just once somebody passes a certain threshold of pain in
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: the ass for him, they go on the to do
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: list to make a graphic for them, because eventually he's
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: hoping that he's going to get to like sick people
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: on them. I just think that would be very, very funny.
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: I like this idea because.
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: They're all really well done.
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: You know, they're really good portrait images of these people,
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: and they have like this flame background going on them.
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: Like they're very very fun and you know, the way
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: he has these screens mounted all over, it's like it
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: feels like this whole place was rigged to be a
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: Hunger Games from the start, even though I don't think
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: that's necessarily true, it's just I can't help but feel
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: like you were kind of gearing up for all of
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: this from the beginning, you know, like this is some
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: some graphic designer that he had to hire just for
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: like the intimidation of the populace. I mean, that's like
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: historically how it works.
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: I guess. You know, you have to get.
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: Your propaganda machines going, and good graphics are part of that. Anyway,
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to talk about that because I thought
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: that was so funny. So then we get like the
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: people from the actual town talking about, like what if
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: we team up, then we might have a shot at
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: taking him out? And these other guys are saying like,
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: it's not just him though. He's got two thousand people
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: in his family and I bet they're more than willing
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: to throw their lives on the line for him. But
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: everybody else is like King Riku, it turns out is
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: innocent after everything that he has gone through, Maybe like
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: we owe him. What if we took these people in
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: and alive and apprehended them and handed them over but
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: didn't kill them, that might be good enough. You know.
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: I don't hate this.
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: I don't like, of course, the idea of them cooperating
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: at all in in a vacuum, but they are genuinely
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: being put in a position where they can't not take
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: action because he is just going to continue attacking all
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: of them through their peers, which is just you know,
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: in combination with like Sugar's power of being able to
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: make the toys do whatever she wants. The overriding of
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: free will from these guys is really upsetting, and I
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: think that they're like these townsfolk, it seems to me,
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: are kind of doing the best they can with the
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: situation that they have in front of them. So I
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: love to seeing a couple points where people are like
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: trying to sneak up on various ones of them. One
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: of these guys like shoots at Frankie and he just
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: looks over his shoulder and says, do it.
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: And this guy like kind of cries out a little bit.
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: I thought he would just.
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: Back away, but he doesn't. He does take the shot
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: and he hits Franky in the head, which I'm not
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: rooting for Frankie to get shot on the head, but
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: I had to admit, like, good shot at least.
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: But these guys.
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: Keep coming at Frankie and they're like, we haven't got
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: a choice, There's no other way out, and he bashes
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: Frankie this other guy with a bat, which just breaks
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: in half, and Frankie says, if I fight you losers
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: one by one, this'll never end. And he basically just
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: like picks up everybody that was coming at him and
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: chucks them away from him, which, you know what, I
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: think that is probably the only way to deal with
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: this is to make sure that these people either can't
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: get near you, or if they do, you just shoo
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: them away. So we see him like heading toward the factory,
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: and Frankie is still like, I Am going to fuck
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: this entire place up. Here we go and he's running
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: toward it.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: Let's see.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: I'm towards the end of the third episode here where
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: Zoro calls Robin. He says, I we're at I think
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: it's called the King's Plateau. I'm here with Lufy's group.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: Things are getting messy, aren't they? And Lufy just snatching
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: up the thing. Have you seen mingo? He makes me
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: so mad. But the whole thing with oos up is
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: pretty hilarious, though, Loofy, you are a mean, mean man.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: That is so funny.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: Though, So yeah, she says Rebecca, then jumps on the
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: phone and Lufy lets her know that the soldier is
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: with him, and you have like the little moment of
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: her realizing like, oh my god, it's my dad. You know,
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: the whole reveal here, which we've already known. So I
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: the thing is, you guys, Just to be clear, I
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: like this in theory, but it's just that I don't
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: care much about Rebecca. The fact that he's her dad
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: was pretty clear, and we just always seem to need
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: to go through the whole song and dance of tons
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: of flashbacks and slow pans across her face as she
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: realizes a thing because we're just like filling things out,
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: We're just drawing it all out, so it gets to
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: a point where it loses any emotional impact because it's
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: just so overdone. But yeah, so they haven't actually seen
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: each other yet, but we do have this like realization
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: and fucking As they're like running towards the fight, Rebecca
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: is just sobbing into her hands, and I was like, man,
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: they have never done this girl a good turn on
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: this show.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: Not one time.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: It has just been repeatedly over and over, her being
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: made to be like the weak link in whatever group
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: she's in.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: It sucks. Oh what can you do?
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: All right, guys, I have to wrap this one up.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: But I really appreciate y'all hanging out with me. Thank
• 1:02:16

• 1:02:18

• 1:02:26
