  Speaker 1: This is an unspoiled network podcast. This is spoil Me
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: covering one piece episodes where are We at Now eight
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: forty two through eight forty four. This is being listed
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: on crunchyl as season eleven, which I hadn't noticed. The
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: execution begins, Lufy's allied forces are annihilated, the castle collapses,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: the straw hats, great escape begins, and the Spear of
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: eldef onslaught the flying Big Mom. In these episodes, Big
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Mom trades one type of tantrum for another, which, frankly,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: I know I talk a lot about how relatable I
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: find her, but like never more so than this. Welcome
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: to spoil Me. Welcome to the show everyone. I am Natasha.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Thank you very much to Mina for commissioning this episode. Lena,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you're out there, but thank you
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: very much for your commission. Appreciates you a lot. And
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Florian is here in the chat. What's up, bun So? Yeah,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: this is a pretty wild section. There were some parts
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: of it that were really really funny too, and then
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: there are parts of it that I was sort of like,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: oh man, can we catch a break? But I never
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Once again, I just want to say that, like, the
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: pacing so far has still felt pretty solid to me.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: I never found myself bored. I was never looking at
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: like at my phone because I had completely tuned out.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I was just I feel like, you know, we've been
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: really steadily moving from one plot beat to another, and
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: I'm sure that we're eventually going to encounter a section
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: that's going to be absolutely loaded with like flashback stuff
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: and whatnot, But at the moment, I'm still pretty engaged.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I think part of it too, is that when you
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: when you reach in these arcs, like there's the whole
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: preliminary section, whenever you come into a new arc, first
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: we have to encounter the problem. Our straw hats have
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: to run into that problem themselves, They have to witness
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: it happening to other people, whatever it is. They have
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: to figure out where that problem originates, they devise a
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: plan to deal with it. And then each of our
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: people has to clash with different people from the enemy's side.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: And then lastly we have Loofy himself clashing with whoever
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: is the head of the group. And I think that
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: really when the momentum slows down tends to be when
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: we're down to just Loofy, he this is gonna be
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: This is gonna be a statement that I feel like
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: it seems controversial to make, but if you're part of
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: the fandom, you're probably going, oh no, everybody kind of
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: agrees with this. I don't know, maybe not, but like
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I would be curious to know Loofy. While a very
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: fun character and while the beating heart of the straw Hats,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I am not here for him. I am not as
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: invested in him personally as I am in some of
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: the other side characters. And I just don't think that
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: he can really carry a whole plot by himself. And
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I think that's why things tend to really like hit
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: the brakes when it's just him versus the baddie, because
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: what you get is always the same no matter who
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: the baddy is. Lufy is never going to change his approach.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: He is always going to be the indefatigable one track,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: I'll beat you, You'll see, and that's it, and that's
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: always what he does. And like, yes, this is partially
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: what we like about him, you know, the fact that
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: he is that fucking he's that bitch every time. But
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: it does make so that inevitably once you hit the
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: part of the arc where it's just the two big,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: you know, fighters up against each other. It makes it
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: so that the villain kind of has to carry everything
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: because Loofy doesn't bring a lot to the table in
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: that respect. With you know, there are some exceptions where
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: he'll do some things that are surprising, or he'll have
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: like a new move, but even that can only do
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: so much. And I think that you know that, being
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: who he is, combined with the fact that the show
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: often needs to stretch for time, they decide to stretch
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: that spot the Loofy fight rather than other areas, probably
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: because it's cheaper to stretch right here in this area
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: where only two voice actors are really a lot of
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: the time, versus stretching it out in a place where
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: there are there is a lot more involvement from multiple characters,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: because now we have to pay a whole team of
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: voice actors for all of these different scenes. This is
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: an assumption I'm making. I really admit, like, I don't
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: know this, but this is what I would think based
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: on the way stuff like this tends to work. So
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: you stretch in an area that has like a has
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: fewer people involved, and probably in a place that you
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: can reuse the animation over and over again from certain spots,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: because if it's Louvi versus do Flamingo, for example, I
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: would be very surprised if you watch closely, if they
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: hadn't reused animation during that fight many times over and
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: maybe just like put something slightly different going on in
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: the foreground or whatever, you know what I mean. So anyway, this, uh,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: it's like, again I don't dislike Loofy, but having him
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: be our main guy, I it's it's a weird place
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: that I'm in with him, because it's like, I understand
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: having somebody like this be how what everything is sort
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: of centered around when you're beginning a story, but the
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: world has grown to such a degree and so many
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: of the characters are have had such arcs, and Loofy
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: feels in many ways exactly as he always has. And
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: I like, that's not to say he hasn't grown at all,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: but a lot of the time it just doesn't feel
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: like there's all that much. So yeah, it's just a
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm seeing that Florian posted something in
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: the chat because now it says message deleted, So I'm
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: wondering Florian what happened there unless he felt he was
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: spoiling me or something maybe, but yeah, So anyway, all
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: this to say, we're still in the part of the
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: story where all of our friends are still involved, where
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: a lot of other baddies are involved, and so I
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: have been feeling like the pacing is quite solid, but
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I recognize that we are probably approaching the part of
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: the story that where the pacing begins to slow, and
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: maybe I'm going to have a few complaints about it,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: and we'll see, And it's just like hopefully the uh
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: setting and how a lot of things like work here
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: on Holcake Island will make up for some of it.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Maybe some of Big Mom's like abilities will like things
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: you haven't seen before. Who knows. But let's actually like
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: get into these episodes. Uh, the execution begins. Lufy's allied
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: forces are annihilated, and this is one where like we
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: really do see everybody doing extremely poorly, and at one
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: point it's just Caesar looking around being like, oh my god,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: everybody on my side has gone down, Like what happened?
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: He's truly panicking, And you know, I'm gonna just talk
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: about like Caesar in general for a minute with these
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: three episodes, because I just fucking love him so much.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: He sucks so bad, and like it's sort of the guys.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: There is a part later he eventually gets his heart back. Uh.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Beija keeps his end of the bargain. Caesar has helped
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: them dumb what he said he would do, and Beija
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: hands him his heart, and Caesar decides now is the
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: time because he doesn't have anything to lose. Now where
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: he could just yell what an idiot everybody is? What
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: absolute fucking morons and they're ignoring him, and at one
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: point he just yells, hey, pay attention to me. And
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: they go on chatting. It's pretty much Nami and Beje
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: in conversation, and he's continuing to sort of rant in
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: the background with his volume slightly lower, but you know
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: he's there. And as they continue to talk, he just
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: yells at one point, will somebody please validate me? And
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: I really lost it. I was laughing hard at that one,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: will someone please validate me? And he's so dead serious
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: the way he delivers that line. This is going in
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: my personal arsenal. I am absolutely just going to yell,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: will somebody please validate me? At some point when I'm like,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, I just yeah, this is
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: so funny to me. Florian says, you hate him, but
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: you love him as a character exactly like he's just
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: and I love the voice actor because I think it's like,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I may be wrong about this, but I have been
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: thinking that it's the same voice actor as the guy
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: who does Brook. Maybe I'm wrong, but this whole time
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: I've been sort of assuming that, and you know, like
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: guy's just very good. He's just quite good. So anyway,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: I just really like every time we see Caesar involved
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: in this section, I keep being tempted to assume he's
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: going to act in bad faith, forgetting that they literally
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: have his heart, and so he's really got no choice
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: but to go along to get along now that he
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: has his heart back, they're not out of the woods yet,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: both literally and figuratively. So I really wonder if he's
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: still going to wind up betraying them after all, because
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: it feels like now's the time. However, I have to
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: assume it's going to be a sort of circumstantial thing.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: I don't think he wants to betray them out of
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: the gate, because if he were to betray them, he
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: would be rescued by big Mom who expects him to
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: do something that he knows perfectly well he can't do,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: and that is this like embiginning potion. You know. Still
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: I'm hoping that he'll just like have the presence of
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: mine to know where his bread is buttered, as they say.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: But uh, you know, Caesar isn't well known for being
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: really present of mind, so probably that's a false hope. Florian.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: I'm just I'm so sorry. I am so distracted by
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: that deleted message. What did you say? So the way
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: that these fights, like everybody is sort of dealing with
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: a separate thing, a separate enemy here, and we still
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: have this whole other subplot that's going on with the
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Tama tep box sort of in the background of everything,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: And you guys, I wasn't expecting it to be what
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: it is, a bomb? We find out eventually, which is uh,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: I like, is this question I don't know if you
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: even know the answer. Was Oda planning on this being
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: a bomb from the beginning or did he plant the
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: idea and decide I'll figure out what's in the box
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: later as the uh, what's the word I want? As
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: the situation requires whatever it is I need. I'll make
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: that be what was in the box? Florian said, I
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: thought you would say something and said something different about
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Lufy and yeah, it needed to go because I could
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: not stand behind. Oh so you were agreeing with me
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: as I was sort of like, you know, talking shit,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: and you didn't realize that I was going to talk
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: shit about him, which is very that's very funny. Okay, fair,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: But yeah, like I I the Tomat box and we
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: have a kind of a funny flashback where the King
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: of the Fishmen is he is oh yeah, okay, Floria
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: is saying, we knew it was in the box back
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: in Fishman Island. I didn't realize that this flashback we
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: had seen the whole conversation. I didn't remember that. I
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: thought that this flashback was giving us some new information.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: I didn't remember that, like we had seen this whole thing.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: But uh, the response of the king hit me as
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: quite funny this time in him just being like, oh
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: it's a bomb. Huh, Well maybe it just doesn't work anymore,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: so what's for lunch? And we just like move on
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: and bruh that king is you love him, But dude,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: how are you in charge? Florian says most people forgot
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: at this point, but is fun on a rewatch. Yeah.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: I feel like if you know it's a bomb, that
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: scene where it falls off the side of a cliff
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: might give you a small heart attack because like you
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: would probably assume that's what's going to set it off,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: you know. But yeah, this like everybody is getting their
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: asses handed to them and it turns out that this
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: bomb existing. It's like the dau six mackinna I guess
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: where all of our friends are definitely outmatched and if
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: it hadn't been for this thing, they would have been
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: crushed to a pulp. And I like this just because
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: if everybody had been able to defeat all of the minions,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: it wouldn't have rung quite true. Our people are badasses,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, but like Big Mom and her
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: folks are at the top of the food chain out
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: here and no offense to our guys, but they are
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: not really quite yet at that level. If I if
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: I am supposed to be intimidated by Big Mom's forces,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: I can't be if they're defeated, like on our first try,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: that easily. So having there be something that causes so
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: much chaos that it kind of like wipes the board
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: clean and we start from scratch. Is really the only
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: way to handle this kind of confrontation without it being
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: a complete bloodbath, which we know Oda He's never gonna
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: kill almost anybody, so that's unlikely. Florian said, Oda doesn't
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: do this a lot, so he gets them now. And
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: then in my book, yeah, it's fine, Like I really
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: this is I don't have any problem with it. I
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: actually thought it was kind of a clever move, and
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: it's it's so what what winds up happening is that
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: the bomb goes off and the entire chateau is leveled,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: and we get this long sequence of all of the
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: different towers of the chateau falling and crashing down. And
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: I'm sure I'm not going to surprise any of you
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: by saying I loved this sequence. It's not like I
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: love seeing the chateauget knocked down, because even though it
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: is big Mom's chateau and I should probably be delighting
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: in its destruction, I can't. I can't really because it's
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: so cool. I hate to see this. But on the
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: other hand, I will admit that like actually getting to
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: see all of the individu jewel towers and the way
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: that they are designed. They're so pretty. Like we get
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: one that has it's topped with a cupcake, we get
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: one that's topped with what looks to be like a
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: kind of cream tart with strawberries on it. There's a
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: few towers that look like they're topped with like China
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: teacups in saucers. It's just really pretty. Everything is falling down,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh no, but the views that we
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: had gotten before didn't really showcase how pretty everything was
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: as much as getting to see them falling down does.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: So a part of me was like, oh, I hate
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: to see this, but it is also just kind of
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: cool to see in general, and I just like this
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: aesthetic is not going to get old to me. It's
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: the sort of thing where I know in the end,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Big Mom is going to have to be defeated, but
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: there is something in me going, can we just keep
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: this place looking like this? Though? Like, can we have
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: somebody else in charge but keep this place this awesome
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: like food and dessert theme? Because I really hate to
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: let go of this. I'm sure there is somebody like
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: in the vicinity who is somewhat saying who can make
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: that happen, so as everything is falling down, it's really
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: beginning to look like her entire family is going to
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: be crushed under the weight of this falling building. And
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: then we get Strusol jumping into the mix, and he
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: is the chef, this little guy, and he begins to
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: sort of like weirdly harness one of the big central
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: points of the building as it's falling, and I'm watching
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: this kind of going, wait a minute, what is it
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: that he's doing. Like, obviously he's turning out to be
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: more cape that I was expecting, But I didn't get
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: what I don't think we knew what his power was.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Yet maybe we did and I'd just forgotten. Either way,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: I was sort of like, exactly what is happening here?
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: And we finally find out that he has turned the
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: whole building into a cake and made it soft so
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: that when they get hit by it, it just it's
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: just cream and breaks apart and it's not blocks of
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: stone and whatnot. And unfortunately, and this was so disappointing
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: to me. Unfortunately, Big Mom she takes a bite after
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: it's like hit her and goes and like spits it out,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: and she says, I always forget that Strussil's ability like
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: to turn every to turn things into sweets works really well.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: But the stuff that he makes with his power does
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: not taste very good. That is such a bummer. Why not?
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Why can't it just taste good? Really, the answer is
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: it can't taste good because Big Mom's temper tantrum wouldn't
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: happen then, or it wouldn't really make as much sense.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: But what we get here is her like tasting the
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: shitty cake that he made, and then it puts her
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: in mind of the incredible wedding cake and how it
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: was like so much work and all of the top
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: quality ingredients that had to be collected to make it happen.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: And this sends her completely spiraling again, and she gets
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: that red eyed, craving face on, and you know, I'm
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: watching this and I'm seeing her face transform, and I'm
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: just like, ah, really, now you're doing this now? Which
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: if there isn't like there, there have been some times
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: where I've been sort of like, are these fits really
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: totally out of Big Mom's control or does she have
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: some control that she could exercise And she doesn't because
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: she doesn't have to because she's more powerful than anybody
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: she's ever met. I think this probably is really out
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: of her control, because otherwise now I think she would
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: agree is a very inconvenient time for this to strike,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. It just seems to me
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: that the Big Mom that we just saw before this
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: overtakes her was fixated on tracking Loofy and his friends
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: down and fucking handling some shit, and now she's being
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: distracted by this cake craving. And I can't imagine that
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: she's happy about this either, you know, I just assume
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: she really would like to be able to focus and
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: she simply can't help this, which that doesn't excuse her exactly.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: It kind of does, I guess, but like it does
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: make me feel a little bad for her in this
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: really weird way, And it's how I've been feeling like
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: it's it's a weird thing with Big Mom because a
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: part of you does understand that a lot of this
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: is out of her control, and you can pity her
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: for that, but it doesn't change the way that she
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: behaves when she is out of these states, the way
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: that she comports herself when she is in control. She's
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: still this like monstrous personal So you know ooh Demian
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: is in the chat Hi Demian. It was necessary, But
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: mostly I feel sorry for Big Mom's army of cooks
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: in her tax space because you just know she'll have
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: them rebuild it. Considering how many islands burn to make
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: the wedding cake, the rebuilding will probably be brutal. Yeah,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: it's the ransacking of all those islands for the ingredients
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: has really stuck with me. And we eventually get this
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: revelation later from putting that there are extra ingredients that
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: were set aside, so they aren't going to have to
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: send out rating parties or anything. But it is still
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: just like, you know, the devastation wreaked his substantial. Florian
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: says he has the food food fruit. I think things
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: he cuts turn into any food he wants. Oh, any food. Okay.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: I thought he could only turn things into like sweets,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: but okay, so he can make them turn into any food. Hmm,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: all right, that's convenient. That's a I mean, even if
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: things don't taste very good, like, it's a very practical
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: helpful skill to have. So this whole lake, uh, this
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: whole tantrum that she's having, it's interesting because it buys
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: the straw hats a little bit more time as well,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: since her family are the people who were closest to
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: her when she goes into this state, they are the
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: ones that are bearing the brunt of it initially, and
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: we get what's the name of the dude that's got
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: the tongue the licked tongue thing going on. He decides
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: that what he's gonna do is lie and tell her
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: that they do have a cake that's made of all
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: the bets ingredients just waiting for her, and his siblings
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: are going, Dude, if you lie, she will find out
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: and she will lose her shit on you. But he
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: seems to be like, well, we'll figure that out later.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: What we need to do right now is just mitigate
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: this lady completely going off the rails, which, like, I
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: get why you would do this, but as somebody who
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: always feels like the truth will come to light, I
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: don't think that I would take this risk. And even
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: afterward it seems like he kind of feels that maybe
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: he shouldn't have, but he didn't know what else to
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: do in the moment, and Paraspero says, Florian, Okay, thank you.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: He uh. This is this is when putting swoops in
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: and tells everybody that there are supplies and that you
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: guys may not know this, but the cake was a
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: chocolate chiffon cake, and if you don't remember, chocolate is
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: my arena and we can remake this cake. We do
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: have other supplies that have been set aside. And I
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: was humiliated by Sanji and she is going to go
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: rereak revenge for me, and the least I can do
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: if she's going to do this is make her a cake.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, you guys, is she telling you the truth?
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: I just don't think so. I think she has proven
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: to be a really good actress, you know, like we
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: have seen how incredibly convincing she was over the course
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: of several, like several dozen episodes at this point, So
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: if she is lying, I wouldn't be able to tell
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: in the context of the show. There here's here is
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: something that like and you'll know what I mean, guys,
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: that can be sort of tricky to navigate. And it
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: is when somebody in a show is meant to be
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: a really good liar versus when somebody is simply not
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: that great an actor in reality. And this tends to
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: be more of a thing when you're dealing with like
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: live action. But what I mean by this is the
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: voice actress who is doing putting. She is a very
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: good voice actress and is very convincing as both versions
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: of pudding. And so when Putting is like, you know,
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: speaking quote truthfully, I am startled by, like, oh my god,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: I was so taken in. She really had me fooled.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: But there are times where you will have like a
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: character that's meant to be a good liar, but you
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: can see through it because they're not. The actor isn't
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: quite up for it, or isn't quite convincing, and so
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: later it'll be sort of revealed like a big ha ha,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: but you knew because they weren't that good, and so
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: it's hard to tell, like was it in the in
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: the text itself? Was I supposed to have been putting
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: this together the way that I did? Or was this
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: actually meant to be a big twist? You know? And
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: where I'm sitting right now is like she has been
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: so consistently convincing that I can't trust my own eyes
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: when it comes to her, because in this scene she
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: seems genuinely really pissed. But what she describes is that
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Sanji humiliated me, and then we get the flashback to
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: him saying, who, like, why were you hiding such a
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: beautiful eye or something like that, And it doesn't to
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: me seem as if that is humiliation. But the thing
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: about when you've got your feelings in it, and when
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: you have been subjected to a lot of like bullying
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: and harassment about something, the thing about it is that
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: you can get extremely sensitive to any mention of the
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: thing and will interpret stuff as being like upsetting even
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: if it wasn't intended that way, because you have your
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: own baggage around it, you know. So I see that
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: moment and I'm just like, he didn't humiliate you, what
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: are you talking about? And that instantly has me going, Okay,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: she's full of shit, and I have to remind myself, like,
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: it doesn't make sense to me. But she might still
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: be being honest about this, because we don't always respond
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: rationally to things regarding something that we have trauma around.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: It's just, you know, it would be great if we did,
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: if we were all rational all the time, but it
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: doesn't work that way, and it might just be that
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: she genuinely really doesn't know how to react to what
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: Soanji said, And so now she's defaulting to what she
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: always has in the past, which is to go on
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: the offensive and to you know, like attack him before
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: he can make her feel terrible. Florian says, putting is
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: great as a character had the same thoughts you have
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: at this point. Love it. Demian says, I think the
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: trick is she hasn't yet made up her mind whether
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: it's a lie or not. She's a delightful little psychopath.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: I like that idea, actually, Demian, that she's like saying
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: this all to them and she hasn't herself like settled
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: on exactly how she's feeling about the whole thing, because
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: that is sort of what can happen, you know. And
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: also there's like the other factor is you can feel
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: something like a way about things at one moment and
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: then later change how you're feeling, and you could take
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: offense at something, and then once you've had time to
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: think about it, be like, actually, I don't think they
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: meant it like that. Or you can take something at
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: face value and not be offended, and then later you
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: think it over and you're like, wait, I think they
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: meant to insult me, and I just didn't pick up
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: on it until now, so you know, there's all kinds
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: of things spinning there. I am choosing at this point
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: to believe that putting means to double cross Mom, that
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: she is offering to help, and that she is going
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: to make this cake, that she's going to appear on
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: every level to be trying to help, and then at
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: the last moment, she's gonna do something I don't know,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: poison the cake. Maybe, Like that's the only thing at
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: this point that I think would even work, because this
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: is something that we haven't really like talked over, guys.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: But the one time that Big Mom was supposed to
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: be vulnerable to attack was when she saw the portrait
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: of her mother destroyed. She was supposed to not have
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: the vulnerability or the invulnerability that she normally had, and
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: maybe she didn't. It's hard to know, because we fired
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: missiles at her and they exploded before they even got
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: to her. So like, it's certainly possible that if they
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: had hit they would have damaged her, But I would
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: argue the fact that they exploded before even reaching her
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: indicates that she's not as vulnerable as we had thought
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: at this moment. So now the question is what could
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: possibly hurt her, and poison is the obvious answer, in
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: that it is something she would have to eat. I
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: don't think anything from the outside in is going to work.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: I think Big Mom has to be killed from the
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: inside out. She is so into food that putting something
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: in her food is probably the only way. I say this,
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: like because of the sort of rules that I'm following
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: mentally in storytelling terms. However, even as confident as I
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: feel in saying this, I add the caveat of I
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: do not know what kind of poison or how much
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: would be effective, because this lady is such a freak,
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: Like there is no other word for it. Big Mom's
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: a freak. She like this is all the stuff that
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: I have assumed about her came from eating a devil fruit.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: We wind up finding out from the flashbacks this is
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: just how she was born. And then the other powers
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: thing are those are from the devil fruit, but a
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: lot of other aspects, like her incredible strength and these
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: fugue states, and her appetite and her in vulnerable ability.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: It's all just how she is from birth. And if
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: that is so, I am going to also assume she's
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: going to be more resistant to poison than the average person.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: It may not be so that might not be true,
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: but I just feel like I've got to operate on
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: some level of like adding extra margins for her, because
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: it just seems like they exist everywhere else, you know.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: So if we were to poison her, how much would
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: we have to give her? And would she be able
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: to tell? That's the other question is if you're dealing
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: with somebody who is a real foodie and you load
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: something up with a poison that's like, you know, the
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: flavor becomes noticeable the more you put in. She might
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: stop and spit it out and be like, what's wrong
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: with this? This is something that's always occurred to me
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: with there are multiple episodes of different true crimes where
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: someone was poisoned with sleeping pills ground up into their coffee,
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: or there's one where this uh woman loaded up rat
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: poison in her husband's like protein shake, and I always
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: am like, did you not taste that? That's got to
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: be really bitter and you must, like, you know, And
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: at times they do and they stop drinking it and
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: they wind up with like some damage, but they don't
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: wind up dead, which is what had been intended. So
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: I just like, I don't know the way that this
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: would work, and I have to assume I can't be
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: the first person to have thought of this, right, somebody
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: has to have attempted to poison her up until now.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: There's got to be a person out there that's done that.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: It's too obvious her weakness is food. Do something with that,
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: and I feel like everybody would see that as the
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: approach to take. So if so, how did that go?
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: Exactly what happened? What weren't wrong? Because it clearly didn't work.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: Did they get caught? You know what happened? Did she
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: simply get sick and they assumed like it was due
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: to something else? And the people who had hoped she
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: would die just sort of like sailed off, going, shit,
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: it didn't work, you know, Like I'm I want to know,
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: I want to know. I'm sorry guys that. Like, I'm
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: talking here about lots of hypothetical things, and I haven't
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: talked as much about the individual like fights in these
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: three episodes, but honestly, I feel like the fights are
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: the least interesting thing, and you know, they pretty much
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: like go the way you expect because everybody gets their
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: ass handed to them in the end. What we eventually
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: have happened is everybody piles into Beajet's belly to escape
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: because Caesar manages to like get all of them to Beje,
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: and Beje runs out toward the the edge of the
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: island near the Seducing woods and kicks them all out.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: It was very funny. He's just like, this is far enough,
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: get out, and they all just come flying out of
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: his gut, and Chopper does like a cartwheel. Chopper just
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: looks weirdly excited and happy as he's coming out. And
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: this is the point. They're like standing around talking about
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: what they're gonna do next, and Beje is saying, you
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: guys are gonna have to if you want to stay
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: here and face up on her, you're gonna have to
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: do it alone because I'm out of here. And he
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: turns himself into a tank and he puts a sign
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: in the ground that says the straw hats all went
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: that way, and they are like, oh, come on, man,
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: But I was sort of like, well then you just
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: don't go that way, guys. Why did Like he's sort
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: of making a joke about how he can never do
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: like a good deed and that he finds it disgusting.
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: But I was like, well, he's put this sign here
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: and you're still standing here. You could just choose to
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: go a different direction. It's fine exactly. Florien's like, I
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: mean they could turn the sign exactly. I don't know
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: if maybe it's supposed to be that, like his ability
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: makes it that it's immovable, but I don't see why
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: that should be. So yeah, move the sign, and if
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: it is immovable, you can just go a different direction.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: And the sign says. Meanwhile, his wife and Veto are
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: still inside him and they are looking out the little
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: window seeing that he is like ditching the straw hats,
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: and they're pissed because they wanted to actually get to
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: say goodbye, and he just says, complain later we ate
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: in the clear, things may get rough. He knows what's up, honestly.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: So back at the town, they decide to split forces.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: One is going to go after Beget and the other
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: is going to go after the straw hats. And as
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: they are figuring this out, Big Mom is continuing to
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: rampage and talking just about my cake, where's my cake?
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: And Smoothie is saying like, don't worry, we're going to
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: handle this. It's going to be taken care of. They
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: won't get away because she isn't really understanding yet the
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: situation that is upon her. That big mom is in
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: this like New state, and she picks up, Uh, what's
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: his name? The guy who's made of cream and opera
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: is his name, right, Florian Oprah Opera. Yeah, it's Opera,
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: I think because of opera cake. Uh, because like everybody's
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: named after food, and if you didn't know a lot
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: about food and you heard the name opera, you'd be like,
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: what that doesn't have anything to do? But it does.
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: That is a type of cake. And Smoothie like he's
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: trying to get help from her, and Smoothie is like,
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: excuse me, sir, you were the one who lied to
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: all of us that you like killed Loofy and Nam,
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: and now look what's fucking happened because you've fed us
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: a bunch of bullshit. So no, I will not help you.
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: You're on your own. And we eventually have Mama coming
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: across him and picking him up and just literally chucking
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: him like two miles and he's probably still alive. But
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: like that was definitely that was serious. There are three
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: there's a moment here, guys, I'm trying to, uh, we
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: go back to the German Kingdom. They don't know what's
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: going on. Judge is down, and I'm assuming Judge is
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: actually dead, but he may not be. I feel like
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: assuming he's dead is just stupid of me, because nobody dies.
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: But I don't know. And one of the soldiers is
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: looking out this like watch tower, basically onto this huge
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: crowd that's coming toward them, and he's like, this looks
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: really bad. Why are the big pirates here? The big
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: mom pirates here? And there are three dudes. I do
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: not recognize these guys, y'all, so help a girl out.
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: They look like they look like weebles a little bit.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: They're very They're very big in terms of like their
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: comparative size to the other people around them, so they
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: look like giants, but they're not really proportional, like we
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: have seen giants that look in all respects like they
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: are proportional to a regular person, except they are just humongous.
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: These guys. Their heads are half their entire height, their
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: bodies are teeny tiny. And the one dude on the left,
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: I like, I don't even know how to go about
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: describing these I absolutely fucking love this trio, and weirdly
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: I want to know more about them. So we've got
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: our guy on the left who only his eyes are
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: showing and I can't tell if it's supposed to be
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: that he's like his head is wrapped in bandages or what,
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: but only his eyes are showing from his face, and
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: his hair is this huge shock of wavy orange that
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: sticks up in the air like flames fluttering kind of
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: and he is wearing what looks to be a kind
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: of like smock that's just got the uh buttons across
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: the front like a captain's jacket, but it doesn't. It
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: looks like if you took a snuggie and you just
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: drew the buttons on the front. And he is the
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: way that the neckline of this comes up, and the
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: way that the most of his face is covered, it's
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: reminding me of that character from Fat Albert who's got
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: the hat like pulled down and the turtleneck pulled up
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: or whatever. You know what I'm talking about. He's got
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: that kind of vibe to him. Then we have this
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: dude all the way to the right, and he has
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: a like ruffled seventies tuxedo type of shirt and a
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: long mustache that like falls down to his breastbone a
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: little like it's unclear if it's just sort of a
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: tuft of white hair or if that's part of a mohawk.
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: But then the pissed their resistance is a dude in
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: the center. This dude has hair question mark that looks
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: like a captain's hat, like a tricorn hat almost or yeah.
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: And there is a happy face, a yellow happy face
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: with a mustache that matches his smack in the center
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: of his head, of his hair, of his hat, unclear
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: to me which it is. This dude has sunglasses that
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: to me really strongly resemble the type of goggles that
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: you wear at a tanning salon. And he is, you know,
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: has a captain's jacket with epaulets. That's the most normal
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: thing about him, I think, And is gripping a pipe
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: between his teeth, and like the thing about this guy
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: stands out his voice in the dub. I don't know
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: what he sounds like in the original, but he has
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: a line, we shall crush the German Kingdom beneath our
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: mighty boots. I don't know what I expected actually, but
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: the way he delivers this line, we shall the rush
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: there wa Kingdom moneath our mighty boots, it's like, I
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: don't It's almost like a game show kind of voice.
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: It's really something. And I don't know where this guy
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: came from. I don't know what his deal is, but
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: I do kind of want to see more of him.
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: And also these other two his sidekicks or his brothers
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: or whatever. I just think this is this is weird grouping.
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's happening here. So anyway, we jump
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: over to h the like Loofy he has gotten onto uh.
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: I think he's riding Chopper away and he's going in
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: a separate direction as the rest of the straw Hats,
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: and Caesar is just hanging back watching them. And at
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: first I thought he was going to be like really
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: disappointed that nobody wanted to team up with him or
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: asked him to come with them, But then he says, actually,
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: never mind, I am going to do such amazing things
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: now that I'm finally free. But that winds up blowing
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: up in his face a little bit because he ends
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: up encountering Brulay and I am just really really loving Brulay.
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: She's such a little weirdo, Like she has these cool powers,
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: but they can be like taken from her in a
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: certain way really easily, which sucks, but they are still
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: quite strong. On another level, she's so upfront about the
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: way that she got like suborned, is that the word
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: I want? Into doing this with the rest of her family.
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: I thought that she was going to really try and
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: pretend that she had nothing to do with any of it, that,
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: you know, but she's very open at being like, they
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: made me do this, and they made me do that,
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: which was just not the approach that I was expecting
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: of her. And then when she imitates Caesar, she is
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: just like she says to him something about how all
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: of the resentments that have built up this whole time
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: because he was the one that was like in charge
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: of handling her and her abilities to make sure that
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: everybody was going to be able to like get out again. So,
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: and her voice is pretty fun, and there is just
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: something there's something about her that I find like weirdly endearing.
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: I think it's just that she is so what you
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: see is what you get, and there is almost to
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: her a level of like like she wants to be
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: better at her job than she is, and that she
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: really just kind of feels like I just fucked up
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: and it's very embarrassing, and I hate it in a
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: way that I relate to. You know, nobody wants to
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: be made a fool of. But it's not like it
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: doesn't feel so much with her like it's her ego.
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: It's more that I had to endure humiliation at your
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: hands and it's sucked, you know. It's not she's not
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: trying to like redeem her reputation in front of other people.
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: The way that she is coming at him here is
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: very personal. So anyway, I just, uh, I wasn't expecting
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: her to have her moment in this way, and I
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: have to admit there was a part of me that
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: was almost like, hey, good for you, girl, Yeah, get
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: some get some back. You know. I think I also
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: feel this way, probably because it Caesar, and like he
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: is just so annoying that I am never going to
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: be mad that somebody threw an obstacle in his way.
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: So we also have the uh bro who is now
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: a chicken with a teacup hat, the guy who used
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: to be in an egg. He is like finding out
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: everything that's been going on. He had been in the
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: inside the building, and I don't know, like why it's
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: taken so long for him to rejoin everybody else. But
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: evidently that bomb that Pedro set off did not do
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: the job. So he is getting caught up here, and honestly,
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: I was pretty excited to see him too, because this
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: guy is also really strange and the just the whole
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: chicken aesthetic. It's something I don't know, man, But yeah,
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: so the family is like figuring out exactly what it
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: is they're gonna do now, and we have what is
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: his names at Kategori. He's the one that seems to
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: be kind of at this point the brains of the operation.
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: I cannot determine how smart slash capable he actually is.
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: He seems like intimidating, but then every now and then
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: he'll like do something that I'm sort of like, man,
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe you ain't shit actually, but yeah,
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: they're they're informing the Chicken man. And this is when
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: Smoothie comes running and she's like she's in another one
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: of her tantrums. You guys have got to go. So
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: the next episode is basically her rampaging and the dude
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: that Florine literally just told me his name Parispero. Oh.
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: Brooke goes with Chopper to get the submarine. Thank you, Florian.
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: This guy distracting her and telling her actually, we have
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: a cake, don't worry about it. She says to him like,
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: if you're lying to me, I'm going to rip your
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: entire life force away, and she leaves him there for
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: the moment and he's just like, well, what am I
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: going to do? Then putting shows up and it's basically
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: fear not and uh. Then we have big Mom who
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: reaches up and grabs zeus the cloud and hops onto
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: it and rides it away, and y'all, this is rad
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: as hell. This is sort of giving a little bit
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: of like stragan Nona vibes. Stragan Nona is like the
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: Christmas witch in Italy that is popularly supposed to be
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: the one who delivers presence if you're not doing Saint Nicholas,
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: or maybe if also on top of Saint Nicholas, but yeah,
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: the uh, or you could do like what's the other
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: lady's name? I keep wanted to say bony legs, but
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: you know, she rides around and like cauldron whatever. This
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: The idea of being able to ride on top of
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: this cloud never once entered my mind. I did not
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: think that this was a thing that's possible. And the
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: fact that she can basically fly, it's just another thing
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: that I'm like, this pitch is too powerful. Holy shit
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: enough already she keeps pulling out new things she can do.
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: And I don't even mean this in like a oh
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: she's ope the way she's written kind of way. It
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: just serves to make her actually really intimidating as a villain,
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: you know. So meanwhile, our other friends, we've got Loofy Carrot,
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: Nami Pedro, and Jim May on top of the tree
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: with the mustache, the guy who got cut half and
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: now he's like all stitched up. It turns out Nami
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: still has half of Big Mom's Viver card and she
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: is using it to intimidate this tree and get him
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: to cut a path straight through the seducing woods to
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: the sunny. Now. I know I have said it before,
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: but I am going to say it again. I don't
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: buy this particular plot point, the fact the idea that like,
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: she has this Viver card and it would make these
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: creatures do whatever she said it's just really just doesn't
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: work for me. And especially here we've got big mom
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: like following them, and the king Baum is like fleeing
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: from her with this expression of terror on his face.
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: If the viver card that houses part of her soul
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: is meant to be enough to drive you to do
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: certain things, the actual woman being here should definitely be
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: enough to get you to stop dead in your tracks
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: and hand over all the straw hats to her. Do
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying? Like, it just doesn't. It
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: just doesn't really I get what he's going for here,
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: but in practice, when you think about it at all,
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: it just really kind of falls apart. And it feels
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: like he just needed something that was going to give
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: Nami a kind of power and it was the best
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: he could come up with. And I don't know, I
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: can't help but think that he probably could have come
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: up with something better than this. It's just not doesn't
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: hang together fully, But what can you do? So let's see,
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to see the part where, yeah, so the
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: attack on German Kingdom is still happening, and they're trying
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: to sees all of this technology, and you see like
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: a bunch of dudes just dead in the fucking hallway,
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: the what's the word the say, the staircase. They're completely
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: they have demolished. It seems all of German Kingdom's defending forces,
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: which I have to say, is like pretty embarrassing. These
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: soldiers are meant to be pretty tough customers and they're
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: meant to be valuable enough that our people here are
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: coming to take the clones away. I don't know if
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: it's supposed to be that the guys they're fighting here
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: aren't clone soldiers, that they're just like regular dudes or what,
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: but it just seemed like they can't be that great
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: if you guys just laid them out this easily. They can't.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: They must not be that valuable. They don't seem like
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: they stood up too much, you know, to the pressure.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: But regardless, we have the like opening of this lab
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: where it's literally just like dudes in jars. It's kind
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: of funny. There's like hundreds of them, and we have
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: the one guy that's going in like looking around and
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: he's saying, all right, this is it. We finally got it.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: And then the other dude with the mohawk goes into
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: the throne room and He tells his men to tear
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: everything to pieces because there is this throne with no
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: king in it, which he thinks is pathetic. So let's
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: like make a point, make an example. And then all
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: of us sudden here comes Double six. They are hiding
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: and just waiting to attack each of these guys. Now
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: I am willing to accept this, but I do want
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: to point out that we saw a lot of dudes
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: who had been apparently killed, and I guess either these
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: guys were like making their way over here or they
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: were just sitting and watching these guys get murdered, which
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: probably it could be that second one, since they evidently
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: don't really like feel emotion about things. But it is
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: pretty satisfying because they're so insufferably like smug and shitty.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: I don't like to see them up against soany but
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: seeing them up against big moms guys very very satisfying.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: And yeah, these like boots that they wear, it's all
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: very specific and wild looking. It's very much like kind
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: of Marvel superhero energy, like they're the X Men, you know.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: And I really this is not a criticism. I don't
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: dislike it. It just feels like tonally quite different from
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: a lot of the show in that respect, because they're
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: just such a specific thing. And you know, we see
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: each of these dudes individually go down, and then we
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: go back to Lufy and he is on top of
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: King Baum watching as Big Mom gets closer and closer
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: and closer, and he is like, oh, you want to fight,
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: and he's got him like he's ready to go, as
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: he always is. You know, you present him with the
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: opportunity to fight. It doesn't matter in the slightest what
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: the odds are of him winning or losing. It's irrelevant
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: to him. He'll fight, that's it. And she's yelling where's
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: my wedding Cake? And I love Lufi just being like,
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know, why are you asking me? Why would
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: I know that? Which I did think was really funny.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: He's just taking this just fully, is like, that's why
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: she's here. She just wants cake, like almost offended that
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: I thought I thought you wanted to fight me. It's
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: just about cake? Is that really all? So? Anyway? This, uh,
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: it ends with her like shooting this beam at them.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: It's a weird thing because she lifts her blade and
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: I thought that King Bomb was gonna get cut in
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: half again. But the blade isn't what. It doesn't come
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: in contact with them. It's not like with Zoro, you know.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: It's like the blade is a magic wand that directs
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: force rather than it being what doing the cutting itself.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: So we have her with her like swirly eyes and
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: she says, the spear of el Bath shall pierce you,
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: and Loofy is like, wait, elbaf what and she starts laughing.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: She's got that like fucking drool. Her hat is because
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: it's attached to her stord. Now she's wearing this like
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: blue kerchief with yellow polka dots that she had on
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: under it apparently. And this force just slams into king
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: bomb and you see like the trees surrounding them and
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: stuff literally get vaporized, like it was an atomic bomb
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: that just went off. And she is like standing above
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: them looking down as this and she just starts laughing
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: and her lips turn up, and the subtitle says chuckles,
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: and then it's to be continued. So, uh, yeah, that
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: was pretty fun. The only thing that gets in the
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: way for me a lot of the time. And I've
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: said this before, and there really just isn't a good
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: solution because of the way that Oda wants to tell
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: this story. But she can make this big attack, and
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: it can look really intimidating because all these trees vaporized,
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: but our people are unhurt. They're thrown a good ways,
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: but they aren't hurt by it. Lufy is literally standing
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: there looking up at her. So it's hard to take
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: seriously that this strike is something that I need to
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: be worried about, because it very obviously isn't something I
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: need to be worried about. It didn't really do anything
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: to anybody. Now it may be that next episode and
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: I find out I'm really really wrong about that, you know.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: But even like, other than maybe king Bomb being affected,
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: it just seems as if it does the equivalent of
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: a strong gust of wind blowing everybody over. So, you know,
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: I feel like Big Mom is more threatening herself than
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: her weapon. I don't need the weapon. It's fine. Demian says, Yeah,
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: I always thought this was a real weak sauce plot
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: point with the beaver card. BM is right there, Yeah,
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: exactly exactly. So anyway, but I'm still having fun and
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: I am looking forward to seeing what all happens here,
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: because like our crew has split up a little bit,
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: and even though Lufy is likely going to be like
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: involved in something one on one with her, we're still
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: going to have other things happening. Hopefully that we'll keep
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: that from getting too bogged down. Maybe we'll see all right, guys, well,
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: I will see you next week. Thank you so much
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: those of you who are listening, I hope you're enjoying
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: the coverage. Thank you again to everybody here in the
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: chat for actually coming, and thank you to Lena for
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: commissioning the episode. Until next time to the Loom motherfuckers.
• 1:08:55
